Can not print from wireless laptop

Hello. I have been searching forums for the past 2 days now and have tried many suggestions made but I still cannot print. My environment has a Cisco 3560G switch which does DHCP with a VLAN for wireless clients, connected to this switch is a Cisco WLC4402 to manage all wireless access points which are Cisco 1130 and 1140 series. We recently purchased an HP LaserJet pro CP1525nw color printer which we have connected with an Ethernet cable to the Cisco switch on a port in the same VLAN as the wireless clients. The printer will pick up a valid IP address from the switch and if I connect a laptop with an Ethernet cable to the switch I can ping the IP of the printer and print to it once I install the driver, if I unplug the laptop from the switch and go over the wireless my laptop gets an IP in the same range as the printer and I can ping the printer IP address as well as open the web interface for the printer but cannot print, once I open the print queue on my laptop I see error printing and nothing prints out. I always add the printer as an IP port and supply the IP address when I install the driver to test. I have also gone through the manual for the WLC4402 but did not find anything for printing. There has to be a setting on the controller that is preventing me from printing but I don't know what it could be. On the laptop I use to test I also installed LPR and LPD and I even tried using another printer that I know works fine in its place and still could not print, so I don't think it's the printer. Does anyone know where I can start looking?
Thanks

The printer setup on the laptop is using Protocol RAW with port number 9100, cannot set it up as LPR because we do not have a print server setup, we are trying to do printing via IP address. I enabled Multicast as it was the only option I saw available in the WLC4402 (did not see anything for broadcast) and tried printing but have the same results. Anything else I can try?

I can not print from Firefox, Firefox is not responding

I can not print from Firefox on one PC in my office. At one time printing was operable from Firefox on this PC, the user told me about one month ago Firefox would no longer print.
I went to the users PC - Windows XP Professional SP3 - Firefox opens no problem, I can go to any website, but when I click on the print icon, or file, print, nothing happens. I do not see the print icon in the task bar which shows you something is spooling, printing, I open Task Manager and I see Firefox is Not responding. I must end task.
We can print anything else on the PC, Internet Explorer 8 prints successfully, just Firefox will not print.
I also uninstalled the network printer, re-installed. Connected to another network printer, Firefox still will not print.
I also uninstalled the latest version of Firefox on the PC 15.0.1, went back a few versions and Firefox still will not print.
Can someone assist why Firefox refuses to print and when you try to print Firefox goes to a Not responding status ?
Thanks,
Bob

Do you have a wifi capable printer? If so, what model? What happens when you try to set it up?

I followed the directions to have a second printer HP 990c to "fool" the program into using it but it still does nothing. I have downloaded drivers etc, unplugged and replugged etc. "QUICKEN" is useless and says that HP is working on it. Can someone help me please

Hi there morinallen,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here to ensure there are no software conflicts:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print from my laptop

I have an Officejet Pro 8500A Premium. I jus had ot reload my driver thinking it would resolve the below issue but it did not. The connection string is laptop -> docking station -> ethernet to router -> ethernet to printer. On my laptop I can see the ink levels of the printer so there is a connection but when I attempt to print and select the Officejet 8500 (non fax) printer, it attempts to print to the 8500A fax and then pops up with a fax box.
Additional Information:
I have tried the following:
- Changed the port for the 8500A fax
- Tried to set the default printer from the fax to the network printer - received an error message: Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000709). Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network.
This question was solved.

Hello coolhandluke2,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having issues when attempting to print from your Laptop.
I also see that you are getting an error 0x0000709.
I do have a few suggestions we can try.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I am also going to give you a document that deals with a 'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error Me....
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Printing from wireless laptop to ethernet connected Officejet pro 8500 A909a

I have an officejet pro 8500 A900a and a Linksys WRT54G router and I've been having difficulty printing from my laptop via WiFi. I used to be able to print regularly and I think HP sent me an update to some software that has since stopped that from happening. I have the IP and mask for the printer set manually asto never change and set the default gateway to the correct setting for my router. I can ping the device and I can access the printer admin pages from my laptop using the ip address. I can even print reports and run diagnostics from the HTTP connection but no printing from Word or ANY other source. The printer does print from another desktop that has a USB connection to the printer but the connection is not always plugged in. What do I do?
cheers

I can't print from macintosh laptop unless I print first from my desktop. officejet 6500a

i have a macintosh laptop. I can't print from it unless I print first from my desktop. officejet 6500a.
it says: "communication failure. the computer is no longer able to communicate with the printer."
Yet, once I print something from my desktop, I can print from the laptop just fine, until I turn one of the machines off...

Is the printer connected to your wireless router? What router? What version of OS X?

I can not print from Firefox, but can from all other browsers and applications (such as MS Word, notepad, etc.). I get a print error on the printing monitor like it's a spooling problem.

This is a recent development but I can not print anything from within Firefox. The print functions open normally, it is going to the correct printer which works..I can print from other browsers and applications. It acts like it is spooling and then a print error occurs and it won't print. I closed and reopened Firefox, opened it in safe mode, cleaned out history/cache/cookies, and rebooted twice. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried printing from the print preview which had the same result. I can print from all other browsers and applications without a problem so it must be within Firefox.

Can not print from preview after Lion Update

I can't print from preview since I updated to Lion. After I hit command P or select print from the file tab preview totally freezes up and gives me the spinning wheel of death until I force quit preview. I have no issues printing from anything else, such as word, excel, web pages. So I don't think it's a printer/driver error. Help?

I would still mention what printer you have and make sure you have the latest printer driver.

My Pixma MX925 prints from wireless laptop Win8.1 but won't scan. Only scans to desktop.

How can I set up my Canon Pixma MX925 to scan to wireless laptop running Windows 8.1, no problem in printing.
Desktop connected by ethernet prints and scans. Printer only offers option to scan to desktop.
Have searched unsuccessfull to find answer.

Hello Eduardo_Hebilla,
I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to scan wirelessly to your Officejet Pro 8500. I can see that you have tried to set a manual IP and this did not help fix the problem and you are still seeing the message "Scanner Not Found". I have researched this issue for you and I will post the troubleshooting guide below for you to follow.
You will need to choose your Operating System and continue following the steps from there.
'The scanning device could not be found '
I hope this helps!
Good luck
