Can't get my HP LaserJet 2100 seating on Linksys PPSX1 Print server to work

Hi,
I can find and add the printer on Appletalk protocol. I've even downloaded the driver update from HP's site and installed it on my system but still when I print to this printer I get a few blank pages and a page with one or two line of junk on it (same problem existed before the driver update). The driver version is 4.3.5.153 as it appears in the general info of the printer. Can anyone help me with figuring this out and get the printer to work with my macbook pro please? By the way, from a win xp laptop I can print to it with no problem. The print Server is a Linksys PPSX1.

If I recall correctly, postscript is on a removable card on this printer. The symptoms you get sound like the postscript card is removed, but you're using the standard Mac driver - which is for postscript.
The other page language the printer understands is HP's PCL. There is either a Gutenprint driver included in OS X for this printer, or you can update Gutenprint to get it. Gutenprint outputs PCL instead of postscript.

  • I've just bought a 2nd hand iMac running 10.7.5 but I can't get my HP Laserjet 2200DN up and running. The Applications Printers doesn't have an HP driver

    I've just bought a reconditioned iMac running OSX 10.7.5 but I can't get my HP Laserjet 2200DN printer up and running. I used a Firewire cable to transfer all my stuff over to the iMac from a Power PC G5. However, the printer driver disappeared. The Print & Scan pane in System Preferences is now empty and when I press the + to add a printer the Add Printer pane has nothing in it either. Apple says os 10.7.5 already has printer software installled, but not on my iMac. It says in its list of compatible printers that it supports HP Laserjet 2200 (is absence of the 'DN' suffx siginifcant?) Apple also says to use Software Update to check if software is needed. Manual downloading from Apple, who say they've taken over from HP for this software doesnt' work either - I get a two-part download, one file is an unopenable '.dmg' document and the other is a '.dmg.part' document, similarly unopenable. I'm completely stumped. The HP Laserjet 2200DN is an excellent printer that serves all my needs but I'm beginning to think it may be too old for the iMac, but I sincerely hope not. Anybody out there with workable advice about how to solve this issue? I'd love to hear from you.

    Firstly, in Safari you will find a button on the right side of the toolbar: note the downward pointing arrow. If you click on that you will get the download progress bar.
    I don't know what may be the problem with getting the driver working. I suggest you open Print & Scan preferences. CTRL- or RIGHT-click anywhere in the blank Printers list and click on the "Reset printing system" item in the context menu.
    Assuming you have installed the printer drivers you downloaded by running the installer that appears after you mount the .dmg file, click on the Add [+] button to Add a printer. A window should open with your printer listed, hopefully (the printer must be turned on and already connected to the computer. Do a direct connection while getting this configuration set up.) Select the printer. Now, if the driver model name does not appear in the "Use:" dropdown menu, you will need to look for it in the list of available drivers. Once found, select it, then click on the Add button.

  • I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint

    Hi!
    So it seem's that I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint. I got it to send out it's own Wi-Fi signal, and i get in touch with that signal on my iPad 3. But when I wan't to print something out from Pages, then it says that it can't find any airprinters.
    I tried to update the firmware several times, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions to what I can do?

    Hey T-racer,
    As a work-around you can also use the HP eprint method which is available with your printer. The application (HP Home & Biz) is available for free in the apple catalogue.
    You can find more info on it here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03128518&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=4110396&tmp_track_link=ot_search
    It shares many of the same capabilities of airprint but is a different program/feature.
    If you have any questions, just ask!

    I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate.  iPad 2, iOS 8.3

    This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum. 
    Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled?  It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

    How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

    If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
    Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

    The lack of security updates requires me to update any old OS. Unless you never connect to anything on the Internet with the computer OR you never have anything to protect on your computer running such a computer leaves you open to theft, fraud, etc. The major problem with Mavericks and soon with OS X.X is unfamiliarity. Sure they have features we don’t like. But I bet so did the one you are running, when you upgraded to it.
    Having said that I really got miffed when I was required to update my TV to work with digital signals. I have no trouble telling people to upgrade their computer, but ask me to upgrade my TV those were fighting words.

    Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • I can't get the pop up preview to come up when printing shipping labels through paypal.

    I can't get the pop up preview to come up when printing shipping labels through paypal. When I click the pay and print I get nothing but it does charge me. I can see it and print no problem through IE but not Firefox. I also can do a reprint of the label through my email confirmation. Paypal is listed under the exceptions in pop up blocker. I have tried re-installing Firefox and turning off pop up blocker but nothing seems to work. Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.

    Usually, you receive this notification if you enabled the option to back up via iCloud but you have not backed up for a while. If you want to back up your device via iTunes then you have to disable the option to back up to iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup off).

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
    If this doesn't work backup and restore your iPad using iTunes. Something must have been corrupted in your update process.

  • Can't get my hp laserjet 5p working with win 8.1

    Can't get my LaserJet 5P working with Win 8.1. My MFC Brother is working fine. Have set the HP as the default; It is seen in printer/devices; info says it is installed correctly; when asked to print a word test, it doesn't; when asked to print a short typedd Word test, it doesn't; only get a gentle music sound on speakers; when checking the what's printing feature, I see there is an error opposite the document I want to test print. Everything seems to line-up ok, but can't print. Seems like it wants to go, like the little engine that could, but something is missing. Am connected via usb/parallel cable, port 1. The printer is an oldie', but a good workhorse, and saves on ink. Much thanks, Jim1

    Maybe you can find your drivers there —or at least some information.
    As of your printer, turn it on and connect it to your mac, then click in software update —chances are that you can download the drivers.
    Good luck
