Can Officejet 6100 wireless print without network?

We just purchased a Officejet 6100 to use in a vehicle for commercial vehicle enforcement. We would like to use it to print wirelessly directly from a laptop without a network or cable. Is this possible with this printer? If not do you have a suggestion before I rip it out of the box? Our hopes it that it would connect with the laptop wirelessly and give the ability to print.

It appears from the manual that this is not a wireless printer.

Wireless printing without network?

Is it possible to print wirelessly without a wireless network? Is it possible to connect a printer to an AirPort Express? There is no broadband network in place.
We have 5 people(XP users) that need to use a USB printer. It may be a long shot, but I thought it may be possible.
If anyone has any thoughts about this idea or another solution I could use, I'd love to hear about it.

In this case, no, however you can use the Airport Express to create a wireless network which clients can join and then print.
There is no need for the Airport Express to be connected to any broadband or other internet connection.

Can't see wireless printer on network

I have a MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard. I have a Brother HL-2270DL wireless printer. I CAN see and use the printer when I first turn on the computer or printer. However, when I try to use printer later, the system seems to be "asleep." The only way I have been able to wake it up is to close my laptop for 5 seconds, open it, and then it finds the printer and commences the printing job. Needless to say, that's an inferior solution. How can I make the computer see the printer every time?

Perhaps the router or whatever the printer is connected to needs a wake up.

I want to print directly from my iPad to a HP Officejet J6480 wireless printer. Do I need an app for this or can I do it without and if so, how?

I am a new iPad (wi fi version) owner but not the new iPad 2. I have a home wireless network and have a HP Officejet J6480 wireless printer. I print from my iMac and Powerbook directly using the wireless network and want to print directly from my iPad also. Do I need a special app for this or can I do this with something already "built-in" to the operating system of the iPad.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you're comfortable going 'under the hood', this thread originally started in November 2010 contains a minor tweak to OS X that might work for you:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
It allows devices on iOS 4.2 or newer to print to shared wired and wireless printers as long as the Mac is on and awake.

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past? Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

Hp officejet 6100 default printing

I have an officejet 6100 on a wirless network with one computer using Windows 7 and the other stuck with Windows 8.1. On the Windows 7 machine I can set the printing default from the Printer choice under Control Panel. This is Black Ink Only/Draft, and the settings are retained. The other machine is Windows 8. When we set the Printer (under Control Panel) to the same setting as aboves, they revert back to a Grayscale Off/Normal settings. This means that everything is printed in color and not draft unless we remember to change settings before printing. How do I get the settings from the Windows 8.1 machine to default to Black Ink Only/Draft?

On the Windows 8 machine do the following: from the control panel click on Devices and Printers. Right click on the Officejet 6100 series and select Printing Preferences. Click on the Paper/Quality tab and in Print Quality select Fast Draft, Apply. Next click on the Color tab and check the Print in Grayscale and check the Black Print Cartridge Only selection, Apply. At this time you can also make a new Print Task Quick Set, type something like Draft - Black Only, Save, OK. At this point the default should be draft with black only. Note that some programs may keep their own defaults.

How do you reconnect to wireless printer without having to restart mbp?

How do you reconnect to wireless printer without having to restart mbp?

I thought the word "reconnect" would have triggered an answer.
Epson PX730WD on home network, SKY UK Sagem Router
After switching printer back on iPhone 4s can still print, MBP says printer idle.
When send print, queue says printer not connected.
Hence question on how to "reconnect"

HP Officejet 4500 Wireless Printing Issues with Online Maps & Financial Institutions

I have an HP Officejet 4500 Wireless printer that I have wireless connection to my HP G72 Laptop running Windows 7 (64 bit) with Internet Explorer 9. I am having trouble printing online maps from either Bing Maps or Google Maps. It seems the print jobs get stuck in the print que and always show an indefinite status of “Printing” in the que but never get printed.
I’ve tested my other applications including Office 2010 and all other jobs seem to print just fine. I do use the “Print” button located in each of the online Map sites (Bing, Google). This is when the jobs get stuck.
I do also have the HP Bing Bar installed with Smart Print. The Smart Print feature seems to work with the online maps just fine (seems I’ll just use it instead).
Another separate printing issue is that I can never get any of my online financial transactions to print from any of my online financial institutions with either the Internet 9 print features or the HP Bing Smart Print feature. I can never get those to print (have to wait for the PDF statements to be available).
Any ideas as to why I can print the maps or online financial transaction? I get no error messages either.

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning. You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.

Why won't my officejet 4500 wireless print from microsoft word or excel?

My new officejet 4500 wireless printer will not print from microsoft word or excel. The paper goes through the printer but there is nothing printed on it.

Hello.
It seems like the black cartridge could be running out of ink. Since most of what is commonly printed from MS word and excel might be black text, this is the first reason I can figure out why your printer is not printing only from these applications.
Check this document to see if your printer is performing good and to check if ink is coming out from all of the cartridges.

HP Officejet 6100 e printer wont stop running

I have an officejet 6100 e printer. This is not an all in one printer. It worked fine for a few months. Now it continues to run.
That is, the ink cartridges continue to cycle back and forth. I am unable to print anything, because the cradle never stops runniing. I have to unplug it or it will run forever. I let it run for 1/2 hour to see if it would stop. But it never did.
I have probably prited about 15 or 20 pages and had to buy new HP ink cartridges, so I hate to throw it away and waste 50 bucks worth or cartridges.
Any suggestions
I am running Windows 7 on a Dell laptop.
Thanks,
Ken

Sorry that you are having a problem with the printer.
See if you can unplug the USB cable from the back.
Hold down the (X) button and unplug the power cord from the back. Plug the power cord back in, while continuing to hold down the (X) red button.
Let me know if it stops.

How to print doc from my kindle fire to a hp officejet 6500 wireless printer

I have a kindle fire and a hp officejet 6500 wireless printer. How do I connect the 2 and print a document that is on my kindle? They are both in the same house

Hi,
Please try:
From a supported app, find the Print option from the app's menu, and then tap Print .
Find the option to select your printer. The Kindle device displays a list of printers that are available on the Wi-Fi network.
Find your printer on the Wi-Fi list, and then tap to select it. Once you select the printer, your device remembers the selection.
If your printer is not on the Wi-Fi list or if you want to use the wireless direct connection method instead, find your printer on the Wireless Direct list, and then tap to select it. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection. Once your printer is connected, your device remembers the selection.
Make any changes to the available printing options, if desired.
Tap Print to send the print job to the printer.
Pleae note: Only "Fire OS 3.0 (Mojito) devices such as the Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablets support Printing from Kindle."
