Can i print from my ipad2 to an epson printer connected to time machine.?

can i print from my ipad2 to an epson printer which is connected to my time machine.?

Does that printer support wireless printing? If so, then try it that way using the "Epson iPrint" app. From my experience, don't expect to be able to print every type of thing you'd want to.

Hi I have been successfully printing from my ipad2 wirelessly to HP printer but for no apparent reason it has stopped . Any ideas please ?

Try clearing your printer queue. Double click the bottom button to see your active apps and scroll to find your printer app. Cancel all documents listed for printing. Hopefully you'll b able to print again. This solution worked for me recently.

Can't print from my iPad2 to my airprint printer

I have an iPad2 and an HP Officejet 8500 wireless printer. I have been unable to print to it from my iPad. I even tried an app and that didn't work either(before I realized my printer is Airprint enabled). I'm not sure how to check the firmware that is mentioned. I don't see that on HP's website when I have checked there.

Hi Jody, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Have you done this yet?
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then reboot.
If that doesn't work try Mac OS X: About the Reset Printing System feature ...

Add the Printer again after removing it.

Printing from an IPad2 to my C410A printer stopped after shared the printer.

Please help to clear up my IPad2/HP Printer problem. I have a HP C410a. The C410a printer is wired to a Dell desktop. The Dell desktop is wired to my Cisco Linksys E4200 router. The C410 shows a strong wireless signal to the Cisco router. A year ago, a MacBook Air and two IPads were brought into my home wireless network. They instantly and automatically saw the C410 printer. They could print. Six months later, I introduced an additional Dell desktop to my home network. It has a wireless connection to the router. It could not see the printer. I made the printer a shared printer. The new Dell desktop then saw the printer and could print. The three Apple products then could no longer see the printer. With research, I was able to use the options on the Air laptop to find the printer, and now it works on the printer. The IPads do not offer the same menu options as the laptop, and I cannot point them to the printer. How can I get the IPads to see the C410a printer, again? Everyone has the latest SW. Everyone has been unplugged and turned on in the right order. Thanks!

I think I may know what is going on....from what your telling me your connected to the Dell PC via USB and the printers wireless radio was on....that is why the ipads could see it because it was broadcasting a signal. IF that is the case then your printer probally is not broad casting the signal anymore. The Printer must be wireless or ethernet to the router or the printer just needs to broad broadcast a signal for the iPads to see it.

Problems printing from LR 4.4 to Epson printer

Mac 10.9.5; Lightroom 4.4; I just got an Epson Printer Stylus Photo R2000; when I print from LR it will only print a 5x7 rectangle of the picture and not the whole thing; trying to print letter size or larger; set all sizes correctly. Printer prints whole page from Apple programs but not from Light Room; I spent an hr with Epson who initially said it was an apple problem; spent another hour with Apple support which got the printer printing correctly from Apple programs but it continues to have same problem from Lightroom. So Apple said it's an Adobe problem. What do I do to get LR to work correctly?

I am back and still having trouble with Lightroom. Someone suggested I downgrade to LR 4.1 (from 4.4) but that didn't help. To reiterate: I have a MacBook Pro, using 10.9.5. I got a new Epson Stylus Photo R2000 printer and LR is having trouble communicating with the printer. When I try to print a letter size (or other size) picture, a 5x7 partial tile of the picture prints off center bleeding to the top. The only way I can print a whole picture is the size it 5x7; then it prints the whole picture but it is still off center, not as it appears in LR print view. I have talked with Epson who said I had Mac conflicts; I spoke with Mac who got rid of the conflicts so it can print fine from Apple programs like Pages, or the internet. It is only LR that won't print right. Obviously I got a photo printer to print photos so I would like help resolving this. It has been very frustrating that although I could talk with both Apple and Epson support, when I tried to contact Adobe both by phone and Live chat I was told that LR is not supported except on this forum. So please, help. Thanks.

How can i downgrade from os x 10.9 to 10.7 without time machine

can i downgrade from os x 10.9 dirrectly to 10.7?

You should start a new topic thread, so as to get more exposure
to your question; this is suggested due to the status of where you
posted your item (now answered) will see fewer people with any
answer; mostly those seeking answers like their own question.
If your MacBook Pro shipped with a system later than the
DVD version OS X 10.6 you have, the disc would not work.
However, if the DVD you have is the Original OS X version
the MacBook Pro came with, you could use it in much the
same way as it worked before installing Mavericks 10.9.x
By 'reverting' to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 you will essentially lose all
of the content on the hard disk drive. I am not certain if you could
even import anything from a 'time machine' device that had been
created under the newer Mavericks 10.9 system. Since you have
to boot the computer with the install DVD for 10.6, and erase the
hard disk drive, reformat it to GUID and HFS+ (whatever default
for Snow Leopard) and that would remove the Recovery partition
on the computer's hard disk drive, and any other partitions.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD into the optical drive, and restart
while holding the C key down, until the Installer disc is running
the computer; this would be rather slow, as it reads from the DVD
in order to build the Installer desktop, and access files to attempt
an installation. It may also be testing the hard disk drive, etc.
Once the computer is booted from the SL 10.6 install DVD, you
can look into the Utilities menu (in top of screen, like in Finder
desktop) to choose Disk Utility from the drop-down menu, and
once you launch Disk Utility, note there are sections within it
to choose from. You can choose Secure Erase (single pass) if
you want to have the utility overwrite zeros on the entire HDD.
This a bit longer then a basic erase & install. It wipes everything.
If not, choose to erase all Partitions and be sure it does this.
Afterward you would need to be sure it reformats the hard drive
with a correct partition map & file type. GUID & HFS+ journaled.
The tools are in the Disk Utilty that you run prior to the Installer
itself, as there are options in the menu just like Finder desktop.
Once the hard drive is erased, partition mapped, & reformatted,
it should be easy to put an all-new system 10.6 on the hard drive.
(That is, if the OS X DVD you have is a retail version, and if your
computer shipped with a system older than the one on that DVD.)
Should you choose to, an idea some suggest prior to upgrade
and also prior to downgrade, is to make a full clone of the system
that is running the computer on an externally enclosed hard disk
drive (see carbon copy cloner, or superduper, clone utilities) so
as to have a complete running system that can boot the Mac...
If you had one of these prior to upgrading to Mavericks, it would
be able to run your computer without re-installing. You could just
use the clone utility, again, to clone it back to the wiped Mac HD.
Or run Snow Leopard from the external, at a slightly slower rate
given the USB 2.0/3.0 to an external is slower than bus speed.
Not sure if this helps. However you may benefit from more
exposure to your question in a new topic thread, and that
could be in Snow Leopard, Mavericks, or this ASC section.
There are advantages to posting in an OS X named topic
since people with all kinds of supported Mac would see it.
Hopefully you can revert, and also have some kind of a way
to make a backup of any works you may need a copy of.
The applications in Snow Leopard, older than Mavericks,
may not like to handle files made with newer software.
Though there is a cost to set up the ability to make and use
full bootable system clones, the external drive, time, learning
and testing the idea to see if you can master it before erasure,
the results are worth the effort; since you then have a backup.
A full backup, and it is a manual effort to make this kind, unlike
the 'time machine' bits and pieces, this can bring back the Mac;
if used with a time machine backup, too, could be opportune.
Good luck & happy computing!

Printing from my iPad2 to HP Officejet L7590 printer ...

Hi folks
I purchased an iPad2 today - I have an HP Officejet Pro L7590 printer that I can print wirelessly to via my adsl router.
My question is: Am I able to print from my iPad2 to the same printer wirelessly via the same router?
Thanks in advance, folks

The paid App "Print and Share" is well worth the $8.99. I was trying to get my son's Ipad to print to an HP Premium and it wouldn't go. I got the app and it recognized every printer in the house AND it put the printers on the Pages printer list along with all the other apps. Well worth it!
It also has extensions for converting files to PDF for like another $1.99 I think.
I saw other apps similar but heard this one was best from a Tech Crunch article.
Good Luck!
(I do not work for the company, just a happy dad sending his son to college with an iPad!)

How can I print from my ipad2 to my hp6210 all in one using printopia...I can see the list on my ipad2, I select the printer and say print but nothing happens.

How can I print from my ipad2 to my hp 6210 all in one using printopia? I see my printer on my iPad, I select it and say print and nothing happens. The printer is connected to an older Mac with OS X 10.4.11 but I do have an imac in another room. I have trouble printing from the iMac to this printer also even tho share is on but the printer works fine with the old Mac it's connected to. My iPad has the latest iOS.

A few things to consider.
The computer Printopia is loaded on must be powered on and must be able to print on the printer that is being shared. If the iMac is having problems printing to the printer it could indicate a problem with the share setup.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you have a Mac running OS X, try AirPrint Activator.

It's "donation-ware."
Free to download and try. If it works and you like it, the developers do appreciate a donation, but the app continues to function, even without a donation.

HP 5510 all in one air printer Can't find printer

Hi Brenbob25,
I'm sorry you're having problems printing from your iPad2, but hopefully these steps will help:
1. Remove the power cord from the back of your router, then the printer, and turn off the iPad (in that order).
2. After about 1 minute, plug in the router, and when it shows ready (lights should stop blinking), plug in the printer and turn on the iPad.
3. Try to resend the print job to your printer.
If these steps don't work, the printer or the router's firmware may need to be updated. Let me know the result, and I'll be glad to look closer at the issue if needed.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

I live out in the county where WiFi is not available. I don't have internet either. I have purchased the ipad2 and have been told that I can print from the ipad2 directly to the HP Officejet Pro 8500A eprint all-in-one. Is that true?

I would like to be able to print from my ipad2 or my iphone4 directly to a wireless printer. I don't have WiFi at home or internet. I am able to get my emails and use the internet thru both these at home. Will I be able to use them to print? Any suggestions which printer? I was told that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A eprint all-in-one should work and wouldn't have to use a router. I don't want to go purchase this and try to set it up if it won't work thru the 3G network.

Hi RiverBirch,
What brand and model is your router?
First, connect your printer to your router.
1. From printer front panel, press Wireless>Wireless Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the onscreen instructions to successfully connect your printer with an IP address.
Secondly, connect your iPad to the same router.
1. Connect your iPad to the Internet and download the free HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the apps store.
2. Connect your iPad to the same network as the printer. Settings>Network.
3. Use the new HP Home & Biz app to print and scan photos or docs from your iPad!
Alternatively, you can also perform Airprint on the iPad thru the wireless network from the Photos menu in your iPad.
