Airport Extreme printing problem w/ HP7 410 all-in-one

I just purchased a HP officejet 7410 all-in-one.
I can print using USB cable connected to printer.
However, I CANNOT print connecting the USB cable from printer to Airport Extreme and using Bonjour printing? The print job spools than just stops?
Any help would be appreciated....

Hello HevnLgh,
Thank you for your input. I tried to follow your instructions but had trouble right from the start. I got to HP uninstaller and clicked continue but there was no printer listed. It just said "device" and uninstall was greyed out. I decided to just continue so I reset the printing system and repaired the disk permissions.
It took me a couple of tries to reinstall the printer from the Apple website because at first it couldn't find the device to add so I tried using the IP address on the next tab and that seemed to do something but it still wouldn't print. The printer was found after I went back and tried again and everything seemed to work this time (whew).
I tried the update procedure on the printer itself and it still can't connect with the server, but the original problem with the duplicate copy on shut down seems to have resolved itself.
The bottom line is my printer is working like it's supposed to (for now anyway) and I didn't get two copies of my printout so thank you again for your help. It's good to know I can go somewhere for help when I have a problem.

Airport extreme base station with Hp 3210 all in one printer

Just bought and hooked up the above. Using with iBook G4. Still dealing with dial-up unfortunately, but got online just fine. When I tried to print on the above, it immediately dialed up when I hit "print". ?? What's going on?

I have a pretty old HP all-in-one (G55) printer/scanner/copier device. Plugging it into my AEBS seems to not let me print to it. I have the most recent driver from HP.
Do you think it's my setup, or is the AEBS somehow not compatible with the older HP devices?
No the problem is with the HP driver.
Try using the HPIJS drivers.
For those with the older base station.
Use the process outlined here:
HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing
http://tech.ifelix.net/1300.html
Also, is it possible to fax, scan, etc through an all-in-one device plugged into an AEBS?
No, not via the USB port.
Can I scan using my all-in-one when it is connected to the USB port of an Airport Express or Airport Extreme Base Station?

Airport Extreme Printing Problem with HP Deskjet.

Hello ... I wonder if any helpful folks can assist me with my printing problem? I am using Tiger on a new Intel imac with a HP Deskjet 960C. This printer is listed as having the latest drivers included within Tiger and works perfectly when connected via USB so my problem I guess is not with the software....I have disconnected everything and plugged everything back together again. I also deleted the printer from the printer list within the Printer Setup Utility application.... The imac recognisies the printer and upon pressing the print button everything feels as though its just going to work. The blue barber shop scroll appears but the printer fails to kick into gear and I get the big red exclamation mark appearing in the status box .... I would really love to try and sort this annoying error ... Any ideas? Thanks. Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hello jds17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.

This is annoying. I really need to get this working. Please send me step by step how to this thing works.

Hey there BobKier,
It sounds like you have a printer connected to your Airport Extreme and you cannot print from it. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the printer:
USB printer troubleshooting for AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and AirPort Time Capsule
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1253
Check for software updates
Be sure that you have the most recent OS X or iOS software updates, and the latest firmware for your AirPortproduct before trying to print.
Note: Printing via an iOS device requires an AirPrint enabled printer. Refer to AirPrint Basics for a list of AirPrint enabled printers.
Disconnect and reconnect
Disconnect the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule from a power outlet.
Turn off the printer.
Be sure the USB cable from the printer is connected to the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule.
Turn on the printer.
Reconnect the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule to a power outlet and wait for it to become ready.
Try to print.
Check your printer driver
Check the website of the printer's manufacturer for the latest driver version.
Reset Printing System
Use these steps on your Mac if the above steps do not help.
Open System Preferences > Print & Fax preferences.
Control-click or right-click in the Printers section on the left.
Choose Reset printing system....
Click OK.
Click the + button to add your printer again.
Try to print.
Still not working?
If your printer still doesn't work with AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule printer sharing, but does work when directly connected to your Mac, contact the printer manufacturer for additional information and to verify that printer sharing is supported.
Additional Information
Refer to this article for additional help setting up a USB printer on your Wi-Fi network.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Wireless printing problem with HP Envy all-in-one 110 when running Mac OS 10.7

I just bought the HP Envy all-in-one 110. I have a Macbook Air running IS 10.7. I managed to install the software correctly and the wirless network light is showing on the printer. I ran a test page from the printer and all the settings say they are "enabled." But I still can't get the printer to print over the wireless network. When I plugged in a USB cable, I managed to get it to print. I have a wireless router running over the Sonic.net DSL network. Network strength is good. I've switched off and restarted all equipment several times but still no results. Help!

Hi,
I believe the router may not support Multicasting, a network protocol used for Apple's Bonjour service to operate as it should.
Will be helpful to know the exact router brand and model.
As a workaroung, you may try setting the printer by using standard IP, it should allow you to print, however the router issue (more likely) have to be handled first to allow the full software functionality including scanning.
Follow the steps below to set an IP print queue, it will also help to better understand the cause for the problem:
Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan.
Click the plus sign.
Click the IP icon.
Select the HP Jetdirect Socket protocol.
Enter the printer IP address into the Address field
Now try printing using the newly created print queue, listed as the printer IP address.

Printing problem with HP F380 All-in One printer.

My HP F380 All-in One has stopped printing in colour. Don't know if I've accidentally changed a setting but I've unchecked 'Print in grayscale' and no difference. Can anyone please advise.

Hi there,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP F380 has stopped printing in color, and I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please take a look through this guide. Streaks or Lines in the Printed Image.

Blasted printer problems - HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One

Bought a spanking new HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One and installed the drivers. When running the HP Setup Assistant it had a blank list to select from.
I came across this tip from macosxhints.com
"If your system drive was set up with a case-sensitive HFS file system, HP's All-in-One installer will fail when it gets to the HP Setup Assistant -- it will ask you to "Select Device" and give you an empty list. To get the installer to work, you have to install it on a case-insensitive file system. I've confirmed this with version 7.9.1 of the PhotoSmart C6100 series and version 7.9 of the Officejet 7310 series drivers.
The solution? The only one I've found is to re-format and install on a file system that is not case sensitive. After hearing back from HP's tech support, they confirmed the problem and the solution:
Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
The software for the Photosmart C6180 is not supported on a case sensitive partition. You will have to install the drivers on a case-insensitive partition.
I only wish they had mentioned that anywhere in the online troubleshooting section. Sigh." http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070623004646642
Can someone point me in the direction of:

HT4145 Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

I assume that all of your WAPs are hard wired on the network.
If.....all of your WAPs are simultaneous dual band Apple AirPort devices like an AirPort Extreme or new AirPort Express.....and.....you have firmware version 7.6.3 (now 7.6.4) installed on all the AirPorts.....and.....you use AirPort Utility 6.3.1 to configure the devices......in theory.....it should work.
I don't have 6 WAPs, but I do have 3 and the network works perfectly allowing extension of both the "main" and "guest" network.

I get SEND A FAX Window when I try to print in Word on HP All in One J5780 Windows 7.

I get SEND A FAX Window when I try to print in Word on HP All in One J5780 on Windows 7. I recently moved to Windows 7 64 bit and Word 2010 and download the latest software for my J5780

HI,
GO to the control panel and check which printer is listed as the default printer. Most likely this is the J5780 (fax) instead of the J5780. Right click the correct printer icon and choose "use a default" to correct it.

My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad. BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

USB to Airport Extreme Printing minor problem...

I have an HP LaserJet 4650 that I use for my home office. It is connected through my Airport Extreme via a USB cable. I don't leave the printer on all the time but when I turn it on it won't print unless I unplug and plug the USB cable back in. This happens when I print from my Mac and when all the Windows based computers try to print from it. Once I disconnect and reconnect everything is fine. Any suggestions?

No ideas? Seems like Apple has problems with HP printers and Airport Extreme's, I have noticed lots of posts on here and other discussion boards about similar issues.

Airport Extreme: Printer (Samsung CLP-500) Problem

Sometimes my Airport Extreme doesn't find my USB-printer (a samsung clp500 laserprinter) anymore. The only way to solve this problem is to restart the airport. I have already installed the latest firmware of the airport but this didn't help. This happens at random.
Are there people who have had the same problem? And does anyone know a solution for this problem?

Yes, it turns to sleep. But thats not the cause, already tried it.
Could it be that when you connect the printer you cannot turn it off? Because the problem only occurs when i have turned off the printer and turn it back on. In 2/10 cases this will hapen.
So when I let my printer on and let him sleep the problem doesn't happen.
