AE and USB Print / Scan / Copy with HP PSC-2410

My Airport Express finds my HP printer immediately upon plugging the printer into the AE USB port. Printing to it from various macs around the house has been wonderful...but...In order to use the HP's other functions, such as scanning and copying, it seems that the printer must be directly connected to a mac in order for these functions to work.
Another poster said that he could not check his ink levels on an Epson printer through an AE USB connection, but could once he directly connected the printer to his Mac.
It seems that the AE will only act as a print server and will not allow for any other features to be shared.
Anyone else find this to be the case? Is there a fix? It is a pain to have to unplug from the AE and plug into the Mac every time I want to scan something.
Thanks!

...but...In order to use the HP's other functions, such as scanning and copying, it seems that the printer must be directly connected to a mac in order for these functions to work.
That is true. The USB port on the AirPort Express suppports only printing.
Another poster said that he could not check his ink levels on an Epson printer through an AE USB connection, but could once he directly connected the printer to his Mac.
That is also true. Those utilities depend on a direct USB connection to the printer. See KB 107430, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express: Can't use USB printer utilities while printer sharing.
It seems that the AE will only act as a print server and will not allow for any other features to be shared.
That is exactly correct.

HP Deskjet F4580 print.scan.copy. No power.

OK, unplug the power cord from both the wall and the printer for 5 minutes. Plug back in (into a wall outlet, not a power strip or surge protector) and turn on.
If that does not work, this is how to contact HP support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare (click on Printers & Monitors, there is a phone number on the resulting page).

I installed Photoshop CC (2014) yesterday through the Creative Cloud app. Now, when in Lightroom when I go to "edit in"and select Photoshop CC (2014) and click on "edit copy with Lightroom adjustments", it opens Photoshop CC (2014) but my photo doesn't show up? My photo does show up when I click on "edit copy" or "edit original".
How can I correct that so that I can open up a photo from Lightroom WITH the Lightroom adjustments? Thanks!

I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

Hi can I add the touch define to my iPad 4 my iPhone 5 has this feature when I touch word it give me two choices copy and define but only copy with iPad 4 please answer me

Because...!
I've no idea why either.
Although it isn't normally possible to sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers (or manually manage an iPhone from more than one) it can be achieved if all computers have copies of the self same library. See Re: how do i sync on a second laptop without the data on my iPhone 5 being erased?

Which Printer model can be used as a True A3/A4 Printing/Scan/Copy Wireless with ePrint

I have been going around in circles to find a suitable printer which can do the following
1) Automactically detect A3 or A4 paper size and print accordingly scale automatically is required
2) Copy an A4 document and print the same on A3 Paper
3) Network connectivity - Wired and Wireless
4) Mobile Printing from iPhone, iPad, Android devices
Please consider this printer will be used to print mostly from a mobile device, and the print material will have to be printed on an A3 paper most of the time as the client for whom i would like to purchase the printer has reading difficulties with small text.
Appreciate some assistance, if anybody can help me out.

WDS with Win 7, 10.6 and USB printer

I've tried many times to get this to work.
Here's the setup I want to happen:
Westell 7500 as the DSL router hub.
Apple Airport Extreme working as a WDS.
USB printer plugged into Airport.
Win 7 desktop wired with ethernet to airport.
Win 7 and Apple laptops print to USB printer.
Here is what doesn't work:
Mac wireless computers cannot print.
Win 7 Desktop cannot connect to internet.
Win 7 so far unable to print.
AIrport is b/g, Westell is also b/g. UPNP is enabled in Westell.
Win7 64, 10.4.11, and 10.6.3.
Win 7 has the Airport Utility on it.

i think i figured out a solution. i downloaded the mac osx 10.6.8 combination update and installed it. the devices now work perfectly. i am wondering if there was some corrupt code or something somewhere. i would have liked a precise solution but atleast this will work for whomever finds this post. thank you for your reply.

Compatible Wireless and USB Printer Lists using AirPort Extreme

Long night researching this issue. I bought a new AirPort Extreme (802.11n) yesterday and I LOVE IT. Very fast and no lag whatsoever. Then I tried to setup our printer via the USB port and BAM - issues.
Here is a short summary of what I learned (thanks to all the guys who posted a lot of this info on separate posts)
- Unfortunately not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. - The AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
Go to iFelix for a "short" list of compatible and incompatible printers:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/index.html
Please note, there is a workaround for "some" printers - trial and error is the only way to see if your printer will work:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html
I believe most retail printers that use Postscript, PCL3, PCL4, PCL5 and PCL6 interfaces should work.
I learned the hard way that printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to the computer directly and will not work via the AirPort Extreme USB port.
Here is a list from IBM support of HP printers and which interface they use:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1ba0863cfa6463903862569c10078c9 03
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Remember that when you attach a USB printer to the AirPort, the AirPort will perform the function of a Print Server. As you can imagine, if the server cannot locate the printer (for whatever reason), it will treat it as unavailable and not attempt to share it out.
However, like you expect, you wouldn't have to restart a dedicated print server, and thus, you shouldn't have to do the same with the AirPort. Of course, anything is possible.
I would suggest a couple of things to see if they would help: 1) Even though you have a single printer attached, I would suggest in investing in a powered USB hub. Plug the hub into the USB port first, and then, the printer into the hub. You can then power cycle the printer as required. 2) Completely remove the printer and associated printer drivers that were installed and reinstall it.

Scanning Using HP printer scaner, copier does not function in SL

Warning Hp has not provided support for scanning with many/most of it's printer, scanner, copier devices in Snow Leopard. In my case I have a HP PSC 1610, printer, scanner, copier and Hp Scan Pro gives error message "Sorry, scanner could not be initialzed, scanner not found" From their web site it appears that Hp is not planning to provide this scanning capability because the function was to be provided in iCapture within SL.
However iCapture will only scan one page at a time. E.g. I tried to scan a multiple page document into into a PDF format, but there was no way to scan a second page. Quite useless really unless you only need to scan 1 page, or are happy to save a multiply page document in separate documents.
Caught Between the giants! Does anyone know of a work around?

Just wanted to correct the opening statement, HP has not yet provided stand alone Scan software for its All-in-One devices. For almost all of the Inkjet base All-in-One devices Scan drivers are provided on the Snow Leopard DVD for use with Preview/Image Capture/Printer browser/Print & Fax System preference, and some third party apps. There is a limitation in that at the moment, the only supported workflow for creating multipage PDF's is from a document feeder the devices, and unfortunately the PSC 1610 doesn't have a document feeder.
That being said, the short answer at the moment is that there is no real work-around. The only option I can provide is you can combine multiple documents into a single document using Preview. There are additional options if you want to play around with Automator and/or AppleScript, but I understand that the majority of users have no idea what these two things are. The final option is third party software, but of course that costs additional money.
So for the PSC 1610 at least, I don't have any great answers. I am definitely aware of the issue and when we figure out a solution I will post it in these forums. I know that doesn't solve your problem now, but its the best I can do.
Just trying to help.

Bt Infinity hub and USB printing

Hi all.
I have recently got BT Infinity and the new homehub required. I am liking the service though the new hub does not allow me to plug a printer into the USB port on the back.
I know the homehub does not officially support printing, but my previous homehub (version 2) allowed me to plug a printer into the usb port and use 192.168.1.253 as an ip address.
When I plug the same printer into the new infinity hub the homehub page says that nothing is connected to the usb port. If I plug a flash drive into the port it is recognised straight away.
When I plugged my printer into the usb port of the old version 2 homehub the hub page recognised the printer was plugged into the usb port and even gave the name and model of the printer.
Has anything changed that for the infinity hub that would make adding a usb printer impossible? Does anyone else with infinity have a usb printer plugged into the back of their hub? If so how did you get it to work?
Any help/info on this matter would be grately appreciated.

Having the same issue.
What a shame I have to leave my old wireless router plugged in just so that I can use the shared printer.
Is there a reason this is disabled?

Printing/Scanning Problem with HP All-In-One

As you will see, I am a bit confused as to how my Mac is talking to my HP all in one. I am having printing and scanning problems. When I try to print, nothing happens. I go to print status and the print job is there but the printer is not printing. I try pausing, deleting and trying to print again, hold to no avail. It recognizes the job, it just won't print.
Scanning is similar. Most of the time I end up with an error message "The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". It directs me to restart the program, close all programs, re-boot the computer. I have done all of these and no go. In addition, no other programs are running at the time.
As far as my computer recognizing the HP, it does in both wifi and bluetooth. I have made it my default printer.
I have a time capsule as a router and everything is set up properly for it. Four bars are shown indicating it is acting properly. Both it and bluetooth are turned on. The HP status lights are on for both wifi and bluetooth.
I have checked with HP and Apple Support and could not find anything that addresses my issue. Please help!!
Thanks

I had a similar problem awhile back with my HP F2210 all-in-one. I basically re-downloaded all of the software for the printer from HPs site. Before re-installing, I did a safe boot. Then, I reinstalled and restarted and all was well. When software update told me there was a new driver available, I installed it and things still worked. I'm able to print, scan, and all the printer is supposed to do without a hitch.

DSL-2750B and USB Printer Support

I just got a DSL-2750B modem/router. In the specs on this page it says it supports a USB Printer:
https://teleproducts.verizon.com/fileshare/plm/brochure/DL2750BVOL_brochure.pdf
On the D-Link Site the manual for this router shows screens to configure it. but those screens don't match the screens I get when I log in to the router. The ones on the router are all branded with Verizon.
If I open the Verizondrive icon showing up in my network I see a folder for Drives and one for Printers. I have tested a USB drive in the USB port on the router, but can't configre a USB printer.
I have talked/chatted with the DSL support folks and they can't help. They told me I had to go to premium support and pay for the call. That doesn't seem right that I have to pay for information on how to configure a device you sold me for a feature that your web site says the device has.
Please tell me how to configure a usb printer for this DSL-2750B

Local usb printing LJ P1102W with tsweb access

Hello,
I have a laptop with windows 7 prof 64bits installed and a local usb printer HP Laserjet p1102w CE657A installed. Now I try to print via tsweb access (2008 server 64bits) a document, but this doesn't work. The printer is accessible via the server with a redirected session and uses the Terminal Services Easy Print driver. Is this a known issue and is there a possible solution? It's a business solution so I have not the opportunity to use the wifi option. I have also tried to install the own drivers and to share printer on the server, but this will not work also.
Local usb printing is working.
Greetings,
Marcel

Use GPEDIT.msc to open local group policy on the terminal server.
The policy location is “Computer Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”. Set it as disabled. Open CMD command and run GPUPDATE /Force on the CMD command and log off then log on to make the changes affected.
It works for me.

NetWare Queues and USB Print Servers

Hello good people,
We usually use HP JetDirect en3700 (J7942A) USB print servers when we have
to, which work well.
However, there is severe constraint in the supply chain at the moment.
Do any of you have a suggestion for an alternative USB print server that
supports printing from a queues environment? Willing to look at any brand
or manufacturer.
Thanks.

You need to install and configure NDPS (iPrint). The procedure is covered
in the docs and queue-based and NDPS can coexist. You then create a
printer in NDPS, have it service the queue. For output you use ypur
printer, configured as LPR.

How to Network a G5, G4, internet, and USB Printer

I am waiting on a new G5 to arrive and want to be ready to connect it to my home office when it does.
I need to connect it with my current G4 466Mhz so they both share my cable internet connection and a USB printer (Canon pixma mp500). What is the best way of doing this?
Do I need to buy a router to connect the computers and a USB switch to share the printer? A guy at the computer store told me that the printer should be accessable by both computers if they are networked and I don't need a USB switch.

Hello Aaron_8, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
The simplest network is to connect the two Macs with an ethernet cable.

HH 3 and USB printer

Hi
Has anyone successfully used the USB port on the HH 3.0 to share a USB printer (not wireless) between 2 PC's (with BT Infinity)?
I have seen this post, which implies it can't be done
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11523/kw/home%20hub%203%20usb%20printer/c/346,1887,18...
but we did have it working with the previous set up of BT Broadband and HH 2.0.
Thanks

I managed to get this working, although only for test purposes, so ive never hammered it hard! Have a look at this article, this was the method I used...
