AirPrint in "grayscale

How I can print from my iPad / iPhone with AirPrint in "grayscale"?.

Hi vdmire. You are right, there is not a page range selection from the Printer Control App.
However with a few extra steps you can use the newest version of the HP Eprint app, which does have a page range selection available.
If your document is in the Printer Control app instead of hitting the Printer icon, you can use 'Send To' and choose cloud storage (assuming you have a Google drive account, or something similar set up). Then you can open the Eprint app and choose 'Cloud' and print the file you wish to selectively print from.
I hope this workaround helps.

How do I print grayscale with an HP Officejet Pro 8600?

I have an "HP Officejet Pro 8600 Pro e-All-in-One" printer. Can I print grayscale or black and white with it?
I'm running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. In System Preferences for Print & Scan, I chose the driver called "HP Officejet Pro 8600" (rather than the default of "AirPrint"). In the print dialog box, under "Color Matching", I select "ColorSync" rather than "Vendor Matching" and get a list of seven ColorSync profiles as shown below, none of which are grayscale or black and white.
Am I simply out of luck because HP hasn't provided the necessary feature?

With the most recent batch of printer drivers, the vendors have provided their own grayscale setting rather than creating a ICC profile and adding it to the ColorSync library. So if you set Color Matching back to Vendor and then change from the Color Matching menu to one of the HP menus, maybe there is a Grayscale option available this way.
With reference to my Canon MP990, I don't use HP so don't know the menu names, I have a Quality menu and within here is the Grayscale setting.

Grayscale Printing with HP Color Laserjet 2600n Using OS 10.6

Like a lot of people, I've been frustrated with the (lack of) support and functionality with this printer since upgrading to Snow Leopard. But at least it's working.
I have two questions:
1. Even with the printer set to Grayscale, all of my pages come out in color. Does anyone have a solution to this?
2. Has anyone found a good alternative printer to the 2600n that works well with Snow Leopard?
Thanks everyone
Steven

Hi,
Firstly please check to see if your printer in the list:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If YES, you can use this to fix/setup:
iPad: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/airprint/
iPhone: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/airprint/
If NO you have to print using other apps (if applicable) such as

Feature Request: Monochrome / Grayscale / Black & White

We have an iPad, and bought an AirPrint capable printer. Printing works fine, and set up was a breeze.
Most of what is printed is black and white text from emails, and it would be fantastic if on the print screen a toggle was made for color vs (black and white / monochrome / grayscale) printing.
I don't think it would be that big of a deal, as it is a feature that every printer driver should have already (as opposed to duplexing - which is also a good feature to add).
Is this in the pipleline as a feature? Either way, reply to this post and maybe it could be a priority.

Airprint in the Enterprise across subnets [Solution]

This is a message to help folks figure out how to setup
Airprint across wired/wireless subnets. Hopefully it will help a few people.
Airprint was designed to work with Bonjour on a local subnet/broadcast domain.
To print in the enterprise where we have wired/wireless infrastructure,
we need to use a DNS server to find the printer resources
Assumptions:
Our internal domain is: foocompany.com
We create a new subdomain: bonjour.foocompany.com
Creating a new subdomain allows up to apply DNS views so we can show print/bonjour services in
close proximity of the user.
You have a CUPS printer server (linux/apple) running at printserver.bonjour.foocompany.com
1. Setup a DNS server
If you setting up a test domain server, you can setup forwarding to your primary production server.
This way all DNS queries continue to work
In your named.conf file setup forwarding
options {
forwarders { YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR; YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR2; };
forward first;
allow-query-cache { any; }; // Allow client queries from other subnet to query from cache
Create a new zone, "bonjour.foocompany.com"
zone "bonjour.foocompany.com." { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.home"; };
zone "foocompany.com" { type forward; forward only; forwarders { YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR; YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR2; }; };
Create the following entries to support bonjour browsing
#=======DNS====Begin======
lb.dns-sd.udp IN PTR @
b.dns-sd.udp IN PTR @
dr.dns-sd.udp IN PTR @
db.dns-sd.udp IN PTR @

2. Setup CUPS
Add printers to the CUPS server.
Enable access to the printer queue from remote machines,
GUI: "System->Admin->Printing->Server->Server Setting: Allow printing from the internet"
Also make sure the following lines are present in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
# Allow remote access

3. Change iPAD configs
Add your DNS server as the first DNS server in the network settting page.
Add "bonjour.foocompany.com" to the DNS domains to search
4. Test printing
Open up Photos application.
Select a picture
Select "Send To->Print"
Select "Printer", now a list of printer names should show up as defined in the DNS server
Select a printer and hit "Print"

Update for ios 8:
With ios 8 it appears that _printer and _ipp are no longer equivalent. For this to work it looks like you have to use _ipp._tcp
Also - the underscore characters are important and they are missing from the example above.
Last - you can use the "note" field to add a second line that is displayed in smaller text below the printer name in ios 8.
Here is an updated template:

HT4356 HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color MFP M575 Airprint?

I installed a new HP Laserjet 500 (great fast printer) and all Mac's and Win7 have no trouble printing but iPhone's and iPad's do not find the printer. It is plugged into the Comcast Business gateway which is perhaps not AirPrint compatible? The wireless access point is an Airport Express with up to date firmware. There is no newer firmware for the printer.
I wished there were another way to check whether this "AirPrint" service is on or off on the HP. My SNMP network thingy on the iPhone shows HTTPS (443), HTTP (80) (great web interface!), Telnet (23), FTP (21) Line-printer (515) and Internet Printing (631). Should I be seeing something named Airprint or is the Internet Printing it? I did not enable and subscribe to HL ePrint. I never had to do that with other HP printers to get AirPrint working.
Any insights or things I should have done?
It is not on the list.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
HP support said it works, It does not for me.

There is a place to verify that AirPrint is On.
Networking Tab, then Other settings. Bonjour and Airprint are Tick'd on mine, though no love printing to it via iOS.
I'm able to get ePrint to work just fine, its the other iOS AirPrint apps that cannot see the printer.

How to for HP CP1525nw Apple AirPrint and Netgear WNDR3700 router

How to setup AirPrint on an iPhone & iPad with a HP CP1525nw and Netgear WNDR3700 router
Date written: April 17, 2011
I did this twice. It took 2 days the first time and 3 hours the second time.
Equipment used:
iPhone 4 on AT&T
iPad 2 on Verizon
HP LaserJet CP1525nw color laser
Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNR3700 v2
Abstract: Upgrade Apple products software, upgrade router firmware, upgrade HP Printer firmware and installer. In that order. Reboot a lot. Test as you go.
APPLE - Upgrade iTunes to the latest version 10.2.1.1 Released around mid April, 2011.
This will Upgrade iPhone 4 to version 4.3.2 (AT&T) Check in Settings under About.
This will Upgrade iPad 2 to version 4.3.2 (Verizon) Check in Settings under About.
NETGEAR - Upgrade the Netgear 3700 router from version 1.0.0.6 to version 1.0.0.8 using the built in webpage to check for updates. The router will download and install the updates. This will also update the built in Web setup GUI from 1.0.0.56 to 1.0.0.67. Power off and on the router. To see your version, check Status under Maintenance
Now is a good time to setup Wireless security in the router. Set to WPA PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES). Uncheck Enable Wireless Isolation.
Enter a password for both bands 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, I used the same for both. (the iPad can use the 5 GHz WiFi band but not for printing {?} so use 2.4 GHz when you print.) You should give them different SSID names, like NETHOME and NETHOME-5. These will show up on your wireless devices (like the iPad but not iPhone)
Make sure your computer, iPhone and iPad can connect to the internet before you go on.
HP PRINTER – Go to HP’s website and down load the latest Installer and firmware for the CP1525nw.
Printer webpage
This is the webpage but you can just search for CP1525nw at the HP website.
Select your Operating System, such as Win 7 32 bit. And look at the list of downloads that appear below. Under Drivers (2), you want to download the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver. It says it is version 2.0 The Installer you will use is version 3.0.3.5253 as you will see. The Installer on the CD is much older (1.4).
Now under Firmware (1) download the newest firmware utility for the printer. HP LaserJet Firmware Update Utility. The file name is CP1525_Series_FW_Update-20101125.exe [1/1, 6.87M]
Note the date is 20101125. My Printer had 20100430. These are the firmware version numbers.
So 2 programs from HP. One is the Installer and the other is the Firmware Updater. You can just click on the HP Full Feature Installer to run it. No CD needed anymore. You have to get the printer working on the USB port next, and then you can update the firmware in the printer.
You should uninstall any old drivers if it asks you. You are going to uninstall and reinstall 2 or more times. Uninstall old stuff, install new USB drivers from the new download, uninstall USB drivers, and install Wireless drivers. But first get the USB working and printing. Print Config from the printer control menu to see your firmware version…. Reports/Config Report. Look at Firmware Date.
Now you can double click the 2nd HP program to upgrade the Printer firmware. The file is called CP1525_Series_FW_Update-20101125.exe This will upgrade the firmware over the USB port. When it is done you will get a yellow Happy Face. You can print Config Report from the printer controls to see the firmware version… 20101125.
Power off/on Printer. Turn off cell phones, go into Airplane mode on the iPhone and iPad. You can turn on the iPhone and iPad WiFi but leave the 3G phone stuff off. This seems to be important, I think some of the “not found” problems are RF interference with the WiFi.
Run HP Installer again. Uninstall the USB driver and then run it again to install the printer as a Wireless Device. You will need to pick the router and enter the password so the printer can log on to the router.
Once you reboot the printer, check for the blue light on the front. Make sure the Wireless is turned on in the Printer Wireless settings.
Your iPad and iPhone will go through the Router and back out to the Printer to print. Uninstall Print n Share, Print Pro and other printing helpers. (for now) Try printing now. It doesn’t work with Notes, so try printing in Safari with the BoxArrow icon.
The first time you print, you should see the Printer in list, but I had to get out of the app and get back in to Print the first time. After that is works with the CP1525nw without picking the printer again. You will see a big print button.
We so excited…. AirPrint works. (Needs some printer settings…landscape?)
Disclaimer – I don’t work for Apple, HP, Netgear, AT&T or Verizon. I work for free… I would be willing to beta test for them, they need help.

My question is if its possible for the N devices to still use N network while the G devices not demoting the whole wireless network to G?
Yes. To do so, you would need to connect the Netgear to the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet, and then, reconfigure it as a bridge (disable both its NAT & DHCP functions).
In this configuration, the AEBSn & AXn can provide the 802.11n network and the Netgear can provide the 802.11g network.

AirPrint and the D-Link DIR-655 solution

After much messing around I have finally achieved the ability to airprint using a DLink DIR-655 router.
In my own search for a solution it became apparent this is bothering a lot of you. So here is my solution.
Basic equipment we were using:
iPhone 4s / iPad2 / iPad3 / MacBookPro Retina / Mac mini / Apple TV (the new one - forget its model) / some random android devices / Win 7 PC
HP photosmart 5510 (B111a) Firmware ver. EPL2CN1239AR
DLink DIR-655 router (ver. B1) Firmware ver. 2.05
Set up HP printer over USB cable as per normal.
Remove USB cable and finalise connection to wireless network as per normal (follow the HP setup).
Log into your router via your browser.
In your router settings:
under SETUP / NETWORKSETTINGS / ADD DHCP Reservation (all my other devices are dynamic - this step is not essential but saves you time if you want to use your browser to log into the printer and scan or whatever - you can bookmark the address). Put in the appropriate details. You should be able to see the IP address, mac address, device name for the printer listed in Dynamic DHCP Clients section directly below.
Save settings then log back into router.
under ADVANCED / FIREWALL SETTINGS / Enable SPI - make sure SPI is disabled.That is to say, the box is not ticked. This is important.
under the same menu (ADVANCED / FIREWALL SETTINGS the next options down are NAT ENDPOINT FILTERING. For UDP Endpoint Filtering select "Endpoint Independent". For TCP Endpoint Filtering select "Endpoint Independent".
Save settings then log back into router.
under ADVANCED / ADVANCED NETWORK / MULTICAST STREAMS - check the box to enable Multicast Streams.
Save your settings.
Enjoy!

Hi Noel
I am currently changing out my entire network.
I am trying to avoid apple routers for both configurability and price.
The bonjour issues I had been having really bugged me and lately despite HP replacing my printer, D-Link sending me an unreleased firmware I can print now from iPhones but not iPads.
This is crazy.
Using cunning software I was able to see the original HP printer was not broadcasting on bonjour.
Got the new one, now it is. They were very kind at HP and gave me a free upgrade to a printer worth about 150 more. I have a lot of respect for their customer service.
However, now I can see it is broadcasting on bonjour as mentioned above I can only print from the iPhones, not the iPads. (?????)
I am looking into some routers compatible with DD-WRT (a nice firmware created by some people much smarter than I am) http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
At another location with similar devices we have had no trouble getting everything to work including all the bridging etc.
This still has not resolved my iPad no airprint issue but I intend to check this out at the other location tomorrow.
Unfortunately the DIR-655 uses a cpu that is not compatible with DD-WRT.
I am also wanting to integrate one apple airport express to airstream music (I don't like the compression of bluetooth).
In the next 2 weeks I am going to finalise all of this and will let you know how I go.
Please keep me posted on any advancements you have too.
Edit: Oh and by the way, I, like you am using many different OS. I have about 9 iOS and osX devices, several windows PC's, 2 android devices, samsung wireless TV, dvico media player, aTV, gaming devices, HP printer etc etc... Networking used to be something I enjoyed. I have in the past had long range wireless links, linux boxes set up as routers etc but in an effort to simplify have reduced all of this (and the long range wifi link was highly illegal in terms of wattage but meant I had a 6kM link betwween two properties - probably effecting everyone in the ways own wifi ).

Solution to use Airprint across subnets wired/wireless

A lot of companies are trying to figure out how to setup airprint to print
in the workplace, wired+wireless across subnets.
We finally figured it out with some DNS magic and a CUPS server.
I have documented the solution at a live document hosted at
http://sites.google.com/site/iwastepaper/
Hopefully it helps a few folks.
<Edited by Host>

You will want to make sure your APs can route from where ever you install them to the WLC managment address.
How APs find the controller can happen a few different ways:
1) DNS A record
2) Layer 2 broadcast (which you seen already)
3) IP Route Forward
4) DHCP Option 43
5) Manual Prime the AP
Most folks lead with option 43.

if you check the config guide you will explain the other processes.

How do I change my default printer to print in grayscale?

How do I change my default printer to print in grayscale using a MacBook Air? I have gone to "system preferences" and "printers & scanners." However, there is absolutely no option to change the print color scale. I see that option when I go to a document & print, but I don't want to go through the hassle of changing to "gray scale" every time I print. Thanks so much in advance!!

Hi,What operating system you are using? What application you are printing from?

I put in the wrong password for an airprint device, so it's not connecting. how can I change it?

On first connecting to an airprint device on a windows PC, the ipad asked for username and password. I fatfingered the password, and can't seem to find anywhere to delete the old connection or update the password.

Thaks for the suggestion, but the router connection's not the problem. The issue is that the iPad remembers the printer password. I set it to allow guests with no password on the PC, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get the iPad to forget the password I first put in. My next step is to try a new printer name on the PC.

Can't find Printer for AirPrint

So I have an Canon MX432 printer that is air-print enabled. However, when I try to print from my iPad 4 it says "No AirPrint Printers Found". I have looked into this and I have the latest printer firmware, but it's still not working... help?

Iphone and ipad does not find the airprint printer

After I upgraded my iphone and ipad I lost my airprint function. Ipad and Iphone does not find the airprinter. The printer is a HP Photosmart 5520, and it does work wireless with my Windows PC that is on the same nettwork.

In our case the Airprint printers could not be found after IOS upgraded to 7.1.2, all was fine before then. I have scoured the forums and many people have suffered the same problem. All the solutions given are aimed at a domestic network with just a Wireless router. They all involve restarting all the devices and rejoining the IOS devices to the wireless network. Some people have had to do it multiple times before they regained use of the printers.
In my case none of these work because I am talking about a business network with two wireless access points, several switches and a router. To prove it is the IPads I have installed Bonjour onto a Windows PC (Bonjour is the technology used by Airprint). This finds the printers perfectly so it is definitely something that was changed in the version of Bonjour on the IOS 7.1.2 that is causing all the problems.
I was hoping that Apple would release another upgrade to IOS to fix this problem but it has been several weeks so far and nothing has emerged.
So something that worked perfectly a few weeks ago is now dead in the water because of an update on the IPads!!!!!!!!
