C7280 AIO won't print over network. Was working on WiFi, still works on USB.

My AIO quit printing over the network after 2 years of service. The USB port still prints OK. My Linksys utility still sees the printer, and I even get ink levels back, but print jobs are hung up in the queue with status 'Error - Printing'. I tried a wired ethernet connection and got the same result, so it's not a wireless problem, but rather networking in general. The network report indicates everything is normal, but I still can't print. I re-installed the driver but that didn't work.
I am running Vista, and the printer had been working fine till two weeks ago. My wife would use the USB port to print, and she said she got updates for the printer. HP doesn't distribute f/w updates for the printers themselves, does it? It's as if the networking f/w in the printer got hammered.

No joy.
I'm connected with Ethernet port. I have disabled the firewall. The IP address matches on the printer's network status report, and on the Printer dialog box on the computer. I can see that the printer is connected when I run a Linksys utility. I can get the ink levels and I can print an alignment page.
But I can't print a document. About 60 seconds after I initiate the print job, the status changes from 'Printing' to Error - Printing'.
I clearly have connectivity, but something is preventing me from sending a document. Any ideas to try, or tests to run?
I think the same behavior occurs in wireless mode, but I think I have a better chance with a wired connection right now. As I said, USB works OK.
Thanks,
SWW

How to print in iOS
You can print from the Apple applications, such as Mail, Safari, Photos, Camera, Maps, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Filemaker Go, and so on. Apps available from the App Store may also offer this feature.
To print, follow these steps:
Tap the action icon .
Tap the Print button.
Select the appropriate settings, and then tap Print.
Important: If you are printing for the first time, or if the previously selected printer is not available, you will need to select a printer before step 3.

Guest network on express message no internet connection main wifi still works on express

guest network on express message no internet connection main wifi still works on express

We need a bit more information to be able to troubleshoot your issue.
The most common cause of Guest Network / No Internet problems is trying to use the AirPort with a modem/router or gateway device.
The AirPort needs to be connected to a simple modem in order for the Guest Network feature to operate correctly.
Can you provide the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?
We don't know if you are using a Mac or PC to try to configure the Express, so some information about what operating system your computer is using would be helpful.

Airport won't print over the network

I have a basic HP Photosmart C4200 series printer. It works fine when I plug it directly into my computer but when I plug it into the router, it won't print and this message comes up : "Unable to read response header - short read"
When I delete/add the printer from Preferences, it finds the printer and establishes connection but when I try to print over the network, it gives me that error message.
A weird thing I found was that when connected to the airport, my printer shows up under the iDisks tab under the Airport Utilities instead of being in the Printers tab...

Welcome to the discussions!
A number of entry level printers are designed so that they will only work when they are connected directly to a computer, so that may possibly explain your problem.
To verify, you can work your way through Apple's troubleshooting guide to see if this is the case. If you've completed all the steps and still can't print, I think you have your answer.

Can Printer over network but can't scan over network with Officejet 6500 E710n

Got an odd problem... I can print all day via my wireless network, I can even ping my printer's IP with no issues.
I can't scan at all, it keeps giving me connection related error messages (Scanner Unreachable, etc). I checked the "Update IP Address" tool and the IP address was correct. So I figured I would install on a different computer.
I installed using the software from this website (I have never installed this HP printer on this computer, I always did eprinting from this computer), it worked perfectly, it found the printer almost instantly. Installation worked perfect with no issues, errors, etc.
Printed the test page perfectly but I still can't scan over the network, I tried both clicking on "HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z" and clicking on both "Scan a document or photo" and "Activate Scan to Computer" and also I get a connection error if I try the "HP Scan" software.
I ran the "HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility" but it can't find my printer (odd that it found it to install the software and I can print/ping it all day).
I also ran the "HP Scan Diagnostic Utility 4.2" and it DID find the printer... It also got past the "Connectivity" and "Device Manager" steps and put a check next to them.
It then failed on the "Windows (WIA) Scan" step. I skip it and it fails on the "HP Twian Scan" after giving me a connection related error message. It will not let me continue the test.
I have restarted both computers and printer multiple times. I am running Windows 7 on my laptop and Windows XP on my desktop.

I suggest uninstalling the full feature software from both PCs and re-installing and configuring the software on both.
Are you using the HP Solution center to scan? It is in Dutch, but the images are the same as what you should see in a correctly installed full feature software package.

Problems printing over network

i have a macbook pro and a macbook air running os x 10.5.8 that i usually print with over my wifi network to a kyocera mita fs-1010 that is connected by usb to a powerbook G4 running 10.3.9. the past few weeks there have been problems.
at first when i printed something it looked like the doc was spooling to the printer but then nothing came out the other end. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and the printer over LPD and IPP but it didn't improve.
i found this kb article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275 and ran the terminal command
cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'
next time i went to install the printer, the fs-1010 was there in the default list, i added it and all worked fine.
until today, the fs-1010 has disappeared from the printer list & i can't add it back & it's not showing up if i run the terminal command.
what may be the problem, and can anyone please help with a fix ?
thanks.

Well there must be something blocking the cups broadcast. Do you have the firewall enabled on any Mac or router? When the browsing is set to Bonjour, these packets will typically be allowed to pass through the network. But since you had to change the broadcast detection method to include CUPS (to support 10.3.9), then maybe this is being blocked between the PowerBook and the other Mac's?
If there is no firewall blocking, then another possible cause could be IP addressing. By default, Mac's on the same subnet as other Mac's will receive information being broadcast about shared printers. However, if the Mac is on a different subnet to the Mac sharing the printer, then the packet will not be seen. To resolve this you can ensure all Mac's are set to the same IP subnet (typically the first three numbers of the IP address).

HP LJ CP1215 Unable To Print over Network Sharing

I'm having trouble with my CP1215 printing over the network via microsoft sharing. It was working fine and then one day stopped working. I've already removed it and re-installed it on the remote PC with window XP and removed a re-installed the physical connection and the software and drivers on the host PC with Windows XP, as well. The host computer has no trouble printing anything. The remote computer can't even print a test page. When I send a job to the printer from the remote computer it appears in the print queue on the host computer as "Printing" but hangs there for a minute or two and eventually disappears and nothing happens on the printer itself. Firewalls have all been turned off/disabled during tests, as well. Anyone have any ideas?

No one has any ideas on this? From looking around in Google a bit, this seems to be common, but no one has had any answer for it yet.
I just talked to HP. I had to set the cp1215 as the default printer on my wireless laptop for it to print.
As long as it is set to default printer it works fine, but if something else is the default, it goes to the cue and eventually disappears without printing.

New HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP Will Not Print Over Network

We have a new HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP. I've assigned it an IP address, static, and it pulls up on it's web interface. I loaded the printer for network printing on our Small Business Server 2003 and installed it on several PCs. No matter what we do, it will not accept a print job, even the test page. Nothing sent to it will print. I've checked print spoolers, drivers, etc. Nothing seems out of place. Any suggestions?

Photosmart D5160 printing over network

I have a Photosmart D5160 connected to a Dell desktop PC running Windows 8.1 64bit, and 2 laptops, a Toshiba running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and a newer Sony running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
From the Toshiba I can connect to the printer over my wifi network and print happily. And this used to be the case for the Sony laptop as well, but recently that has changed. I can still connect to the printer connected to the Dell over wifi, but I cannot print. The print jobs get stuck in the Sony's spooler and eventually disappear without printing. If I connect the printer directly to the Sony it works fine.
I have tried deleting and reconnecing to the printer over the network. I have tried running the Printer Install wizard, but that doesn't find the printer if it's not USB connected.
Comparing the properties of the printer on the Toshiba and the Sony, the driver list is different - partly because the Toshiba is 32 bit and the Sony 64 bit. But the driver list on the Sony is the same for the printer whether it is USB or network connected.
Help please!

Oh, and Print & Scan Doctor only finds the USB connected instance of the printer, not when it is connected over the network

Can't connect to my printer over network anymore

We upgraded to ox10.9 and since then we can't connect to the brother laser printer connected to our other computer. I went to brother's web site and downloaded the newest driver and now when I click on "add printer" it's not even there. I don't know what to do. I reset my printers and it's still not showing up... only if I connect it via a USB. Before 10.9 I could connect to the printer over bonjour because I was connected on my other lap top..
any ideas?

I figured it out. I had to create a new location on both the Powerbook and G5 and click "Apply Now". Then the PB showed up as a server on the G5.

Photosmart C6380 AiO won't print black

Hi, We have a HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One that will no longer print black. The photo black and the color cartridges are OK as far as I can tell. It is the regular black that won't print. We had this happen the last time we changed the regular black ink cartridge. For some reason the new cartridge wasn't printing anything so we momentarily went back to the old cartridge and it worked again. Then we took out the old cartridge and put back in the new cartridge and it continued working. Now the cartridge is about half empty and it has quit printing black. This shouldn't be a computer related issue. But in case it is important: WIndows XP SP3. Sorry I'm not sure exactly what driver version I'm using but I did run HP Update through the Solution Center -> Help -> Check for Updates and everything is up to date as far as I can tell. I've tried to get the printer to print black by going through the menus on the printer itself Setup -> Tools -> Printer Status Report. It kicks out only a blank page. I tried running the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility. It reports that everything is fine but, of course, when I tell it to print a test page it kicks out a blank page. We finally gave up and put in a fresh new black ink cartridge (564 XL) and it still doesn't print anything. Any suggestions?

I see this is still being read so the following is an update. My earlier reply mentioned the printer started printing again. It printed for a while but eventually the same problem started again- no black or blank print-outs and a new ink cartridge didn't help. I think the print head was dodgy. The printer wasn't worth the cost of buying a new print head and wasn't sure that would help. I looked for a printer at a thrift store with a matching print head or same ink cartridges. I found a printer that produced a good print test page after some cleaning cycles, bought it, and moved the ink cartridges to the printer.

Windows 7 64-bit cannot find HP C5280 printer over network

I've had this working under the same conditions for several years, same computers, same printer, same network configuration. One day, my computer stopped being able to print to the network computer, coming back with errors. I uninstalled the printer and when I went to reinstall, it cannot locate the printer at all. Everyone else on the network can see and use the printer, I can see and access the computer that it's plugged into, but going through the add a printer wizard, even specifically going into that computer manually, it sees no printer.
I've run through the Microsoft Fixit, no results. I've run through the HP Network Troubleshooter, no results. I've rebooted all computers in question, no results. It's not a networking problem, as I said, because I can fully access every other computer on the network. The printer has been verified as shared and operable from every other computer on the network.
Ideas? Thanks.

Check that printer sharing is still enabled on the host computer. If it is, let's delete and re-add the printer on the host PC:
1. Unplug the printer's USB cable.
2. Go to Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
3. Plug the printer USB cable back in and wait for the PC to re-add it.
4. Once it is re-added, right click the printer and enable/setup Printer Sharing.
Try again from the ohter PC(s).

Appletalk laserwriter won't print over airport wireless. please help.

i have an old apple personal laserwriter 320 which prints plug and play to my G5 (10.4.4) connecting ethernet (appletalk on) with asantetalk adapter. no problems at all.
i like to share this printer wirelessly by connecting it an airport express base station.
i cannot get my network of powerbook and G5 (all 10.4.4) to print to it, they cannot see it.
1. can it be used wirelessly with the airport express base station?
2. what about airport extreme base station?
3.i turned on appletalk in airport under network settings. how about under airport admin utilities?
i must be setting the network configurations wrong, or is it appletalk or the asantetalk ethernet adapter?
can someone please help me through this setup?

Well, I use an HP-6MP with an AsanteTalk hooked to an Airport Extreme Base Station and I use Tiger 10.4.4 and everything works fine. My wife's dual USB iBook, circa 2001, with an internal airport card, uses the HP printer with no problems. The same setup works with OS 9 too.
I also have an Airport Express hooked up to my livingroom stereo that I use with both iTunes and AirFoil. I've never tried using the Airport Express with the AsanteTalk, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't work since it works with the AEBS.
The startup routine is touchy, the printer has to be allowed to fully complete its warmup cycle before powering up the AsanteTalk. Try disconnecting the power to the AsanteTalk for about 10 seconds while everything else is hooked and powered up, then reconnect the power, the lights should flash on the AsanteTalk, then open the Printer Setup Utility, wait about 10 seconds and the printer should then appear, if it isn't there already. When we have power outages from say thunderstorms, I often have to recycle the AsanteTalk's power because when the power comes back on, it completes it startup cycle before the HP does and printer setting disappears.
It's not a matter of adding AppleTalk to the AEBS or Airport Express. There are no options for that. The settings are only in the computer network/airport settings. Both of your computers need to be configured to have AppleTalk active under the Airport network settings.
And as mentioned before, don't use the yellow ethernet cord.

Windows xp; Current Firefox version; won't open mail tabs on AOL. Explorer still works... Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm Running the current Version of Firefox. Have the most up to date version of Windows XP.
Most recently I've not been able to get any action when I click on AOL "check mail" buttons.
(i.e. new mail, sent mail, etc.) they still work if I go to Explorer... i just hate going that route though...
Anybody else seen this. Strange....
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Ranger Barry

I don't use AOL, so let me give you some general suggestions, in case you haven't already tried them.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Unable to get LaserJet M175nw to print over network

I have just installed a new LaserJet 100 Pro M175nw printer on my network. However I am unable to get it to print via the network.
The printer is connected to a ethernet cable and configured with a static IP address on the network
I am using a Windows 7 computer for printing
All internal functions of the printer work correctly e.g. copy, reports
Printing works when connected via USB to a computer
When using the printer via the network:
Scanning works correctly
The embedded web mangement page for the printer works correctly
The HP Print & Scan Doctor diagnostics give the configuration all green ticks
Print jobs stay in the print queue until they change to an error status.
The printer does not seem to recognise the print job at all - no progress message indicating printing document on the console
If the printer is in sleep mode it does not wake up
Test print pages from the HP Installer, from the Windows Printer Property dialog, from Acrobat Reader and from MS Word all fail.
All symptoms remain the same when I turn off the Windows Firewall
Another HP LaserJet 2605dn printer on the network prints correctly on a different IP address but also using the RAW format on port 9100.
I have removed all drivers for other HP printers in case there was a conflict - no change after re-installing the software.
Can anyone suggest what I might have overlooked? Thanks for your help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am confused by your last statement, a TCP/IP is a network connection, which is why the universal print driver is suggested.
From what you have described, there is an issue with the print queue. Try running the Print and Scan Doctor :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03286146
Also, I am not sure if you tried the PCL6 driver or not, but I would like you to at least try it so that I know what its behavior is.
Let me know how that goes and I will get right back with you!
