AirPrint printing problems with bonjour

My iPad 2 prints half the time with the epson XP-400 printer. Is this a bonjour issue or something else? The iPad will recognize the printer, print, and then if I go to print again reports no AirPrint printers found. Any help? I've installed the printer according to the steps given by epson. I have a PC so is that the issue?

Hey there @Reverie!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer! You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer?
I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help. You can download an run the utility. It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup. It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

Printing problem with Summarize Comments?

Printing problem with Summarize Comments in Pro 10.1.6? When I print, I only get the number boxes on one page and the comments on the next page. The numbered boxes don't show up on the actual image itself.

Um I dont know if im doing something daft but I tried this like you said
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(this);
if(printJob.printDialog()){
try {
          PageFormat pageFormat = printJob.defaultPage();
          if (pageFormat.getOrientation() == PageFormat.PORTRAIT) {
          landscape = 0;} else {
               landscape = 1;}
          System.out.println("THE ORIENTATION IS "+ landscape);
          printJob.print(); }
catch (Exception PrinterExeption) { PrinterExeption.printStackTrace();}
and it doesnt seem to work as I tried it both as landscape and portrait in the print dialog but landscape is always 0.

Printer problem with AW 6.2.9

I have a recurring printer problem with both hp deskjet 5150 and Epson R220. After much work with techs at both, we have determined that it is an AW problem (v. 6.2.9) Other files print okay. I've searched through recent posts and found similiar questions, but the answers aren't specific to my problem. I gather that it involves trashing certain AW files, such as Appleworks.plist and other Appleworks prefs. It will help it I know the specific files to trash and as much detail about how to find them on the HD. I will be infinitely grateful for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You are correct that deleting the AppleWorks preferences can fix some printing problems. I'm surprised that in finding that information you didn't come across a post with the specific information or a tip to my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, that explains which preference files ot delete.
Make sure you have the newest printer driver for each printer. Also, use Disk Utility to repair permissions after any system update or upgrade.

Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Dear All,
Please help!
My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
Much appreciation in advance x

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3

I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3). Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it. None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3. Any suggestions?

Default printer problems with adobe 10.1.2

I was having problems printing PDFs since upgrading to 10.1.2. After reading and trying many recommendations, I happened to notice that my default printer(I have only one printer) was listed twice on the print window. The first (default) printer is spelled "HP PSC 2350 series" (upper case 'PSC') The second is "HP psc 2350 series" (lower case 'psc') . The printer is named 'HP psc 2350 series' in my printers and devices, and if I select this printer, the page will print perfectly. Now that I have solved my printing issue, I would like to change the default setting on the adobe print window to come up as the active link, so I don't have to continue to select a different printer everytime I wish to print a document. The printer by the lower case "psc" name is set as the default printer in printers and devices, and I cannot figure out why it doesn't come up as the default printer on the adobe reader print window. I also cannot figure out how to change the default in the print window.   An added interesting fact is that I get no response in the print window when I try to select "preferences' or 'advanced' for the upper case 'PSC' printer.
My computer runs in Windows 7 (64-bit). The printer is HP psc 2355xi all-in-one. Any suggestions are much appreciated

I have not been able to select a different default printer for Adobe, but I can print if I manually select the correct link everytime.

I am having the same issue.The correct printer is selected as the default printer on the control panel and there is no driver with the lowercase convention.However, the first printer option that appears is the lowercase convention. Is there any way to select a default printer for specifically for Adobe, as opossed to the PC itself?

I'm having problems with Bonjour in iTunes.

I'm having problems with bonjour. It says "Bonjour service has been disabled", but I can't find it in [Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services]. When I download it and try to install it, it says that there is later version of it already installed.

HT4356 can i airprint to my airprint printer remotely, with ipad, from another wifi connection or only when i am within my own network?

can i airprint to my airprint printer remotely, with ipad, from another wifi connection or only when i am within my own network?

Air print, and the normal hp airprint set up requires that the pad and the printer be on the same wifi net work. The 'connecting' is done by your router. That means remote printing wont work with the out of the box stuff. I think you might find some 3rd party apps that do support remote printing, but i have not seen any reports from users that found a really good solution. Print n share reads like it might work, i am sure some users will chime in.

Problems with Bonjour and Mavericks

I actually have problems getting a Network printer working under Mavericks on a brand new Macbook Pro.
The Printer is an HP Officejet 8500, wich is connected to a Qnap TS-269.
In the config of the NAS, Bonjour is activated.
When I now try to install it, I can see it listed as available printer.
Its named "NAS (Aiprint)", and the installtion seems to work properly.
I choose the right driver (v 3.3.3) and tried to print a test page, wich results in egypt hieroglyphics.
I tried all possible varitions, like using generic postscript printer, the airprint driver, but all leads to the same result.
Installing it manually as IPP-Printer (wich is defined by the NAS-Manual) doesnt work at all.
With all other machines, windows and various osx versions, it works fine.
Any Ideas? The update for that printer-driver from HP doenst help too, seems like its only fixing a bug for USB-connections.

Actually, what we are suggesting in this forum is to change the permissions on your preferences folder: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications | After Effects region of interest
That has solved a lot of people's problems.

I'm really sorry your issue is problematic and it frustrating you. However, I remind you that we are people too. We are doing our best to solve any issues that do crop up. I am not completely familiar with the issues that you are having but I will do my best for you.

Are you running OS X 10.9.4? Updated Premiere Pro to the latest version (a new one just came out). Please try that if you have not. Also, please remove any third party plug-ins. After doing so, please check and see if your system is behaving normally.
Keep in mind that your issue, and many others, are not solely Adobe issues. We are working with other partners, like Apple, in solving certain problems.

Printing problems with Safari 5.0.3

I just bought a new HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer to allow me to use AirPrint on my iPad and iPhone. But now I have a problem with printing Web pages from the Safari 5.0.3 browser on my Windows Vista PC to the printer over my network. The printer does not print any type or graphics on the page although it does output several nearly blank pages each time I try to print. The only mark on the pages is a faint thin gray line at the bottom of each page.
Safari is the only program where this problem occurs. The printer works correctly with Internet Explorer, Outlook, and Word. I did not have this problem with my previous HP printer.
The M1536dnf also prints correctly from the Safari browser on my iPad through AirPrint.
I also tried printing in Safari on a Windows 7 laptop on the network and had the same problem.
Any suggestions?

I reloaded the HP drivers. But that didn't fix the problem. Because the problem is only with Safari in Windows and not Internet Explorer (nor any other Windows applications), it seems to me to be a Safari problem rather than a problem with the printer. On the other hand, Safari for Windows printed correctly on my previous HP LaserJet 1022nw and its driver. I've contacted HP and they want to lay the blame on Apple. I have reported the problem to Apple as well and have heard nothing. Once again, after paying hundreds of dollars on new equipment to be able to print from my iPad and iPhone, the user is left to fend for himself. Others seem to be having this problem. Perhaps, Apple and HP might consider working together to the benefit of the customer.
(One bright spot: the 1536 does print from the Safari browsers on the iPad and the iPhone.)

HP Wireless Printing - problems with MAcbook Airport

I've read through most of the problems related to printers on here and I think I have a unique one!!
I've just bought and installed a HP C8180 all-in-one printer. Installed as per instructions - on home network and across ethernet. I've reserved an IP address for it so its always in the same place. Works brilliantly (good printer!). However if I then disconnect ethernet and connect to my network via airport - it won't print! It will however, align, print test page (albeit slowly), clean cartridges etc - but no printing.
If I disconnect from Airport and reconnect to ethernet - no problems it prints fine. If I then connect via airport (keeping the ethernet connection at the top of the list) it works fine. If however airport is top of the list - it won't print.
Prints fine on USB too.
So I've deduced that for some reason its the Apple Macbook wireless that's causing the problem.
So does anyone have a solution - 'cause this is driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance.

I have a HP Photosmart 2710 All in One connected to a Aiport Express USB port, it works great, the WIFI in the printer doesn't work because it doesn't support WPA2 so I disabled it. The main router is quite a ways away but I still want to print to the printer wirelessly.
My suggestion:
1. Connect the printer via USB directly to macbook to load and test driver.
2. Use Airport Utility and configure Airport for printer, if it is already listed, remove and reinstall it.
3. On your Macbook it should change the driver from USB to the name of Airport, sometimes it helps to turn off the printer and turn it back on while connected to Airport.
Keep messing with it, it can be stubborn with Bonjour but it finally shows up. Make sure the Airport Utility can see the printer when connected to it.

Problems with Bonjour, Airport Extreme and OS 10.4.3

I have a networked, HP Photosmart 8450 printer. The printer was connected to both an iMac 20" and PowerBook G4 15" running OS 10.4.3. Yesterday, I lost the ability to print from the PowerBook. I have identified it as a problem with my Airport Extreme connection.
The iMac can see the printer just fine, and it shows up using Bonjour when I browse printers in the Printer Setup Utility. The PowerBook, however, cannot see the printer - that is, it does not show up in the browser, but only when I use the Airport connection. However, when I connect the printer to the PowerBook via USB, or when I plug a network cable in to the PowerBook, it sees the printer immediately using Bonjour.
It appears, then, the problem is with my Airport Extreme card. Has this issue been identified by anyone else/Apple? Perusing the discussion boards, it seems others have had this problem.
PowerBook G4/iMac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for the response, however, my question remains: I'm wondering if anyone else with an Airport Extreme ("b" version) and OS 10.4.9 installed has a problem using Admin Utility 4.1.1 and/or Airport Setup Assistant 4.1.1? Specifically, the problem is, after resetting the Airport Extreme, I was able to set it up using the Setup Assistant (establish the network, set the password), but thereafter, it does not show up in the Admin Utility at all (but the Extreme's lights flash as it is being accessed) and in Setup Assistant, it shows up, but there are "errors" when trying to change settings. It is very odd.
When I was running 10.3.9, I had had no problems setting up/administering my Airport Extreme. Suspecting the Extreme itself, I even had an Apple Genius inspect it at the Apple store, but it was pronounced in working order. I might try to check the Airport card inside the G4 (by trying it in a friend's G4). If this communication problem is not shared by anyone else (ii.e., a software issue), it could be my Airport card.
