Can't print from tablet...sometimes

Hello,
The other day I got the printer to talk to my tablet. Today, however, it's spotty. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. most of the time it doesn't even give me an error...it just doesn't print. Occasionally I am told the HP plugin is unavailable, and I ahve no idea what that means.
I have tried printing from my desktop, and that works fine.
just now, the printer spat out a print job from my tablet 10 minutes after I sent it. And now it is veeeeery slooooowly printing out a second job I had sent...10 minutes ago.
Help?
The tablet is a Samsung note 10.1 2014 edition, if that matters. It asks me if I want to use Google print or Samsung print. I can only get Samsung Print to work at all. I don't even know what Google print would be. As long as one of them works I don't care.

Hi CassieB,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are having some issues trying to print from your Samsung tablet to your HP printer.
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
What make/model/product number of HP printer do you have?
How is the printer connected (USB cable, Ethernet, or wireless)?
What version of Android is running on your tablet? If you are unsure, please use wikiHow’s How to Check What Android Version You Have.
Have you downloaded and installed the HP ePrint app? It does require that you are running an Android version of 4.0 or higher.
Thank you.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

Is E-Print the same as AirPrint? I have an HP print and it states that I can print from tablets.

Thanks again
I have a couple of HP printers, so I am somewhat familiar with this.
EPrint is not the same as air print. EPrint is HPs way of sending documents over the Internet to an Internet-connected printer. Air print, by contrast, is Apple's way of printing from an iPad or an iPhone over Wi-Fi. So, even if your printer is capable of "printing from tablets", it is not at all clear whether it is only air print or ePrint or both. The best thing you can do is check the list that was posted above and see if your model printer is in that list. If it is, you can use the air print function built into the latest iOS to print over Wi-Fi. On the other hand, if your printer is not on the list, you may still be able to print through ePrint. To do that, you should download and install the HP ePrint app that is available for free in the App Store. This will allow you to print over 3G to your wireless printer.

HT1695 i can't print from my tablet

I can't print from my Ipad in Canon wireless printer

There are two ways. The first one is, as Eric Ross said, AirPrint. Your printer has too be compatibile with AirPrint to use it. Altrought, not all Canons are so.
The second way is to download an app which lets you to print wirelessly. Try Canon Easy-PhotoPrint. I use it and it works great!

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1? My iPad can't find the printer. Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1? I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer. But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago. Suggestions??

Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it. So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

Hi,
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
This question was solved.

Hello boojoo1tw,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Can't print from Mac to Windows printer

I have a wireless network of 3 computers and a printer. One is a desktop running XP with the printer attached. The other is a laptop with XP. And the last is a MacBook with 10.4.11.
I can print from both computers running XP but I can't print from the Mac. The Mac sees the printer and I can add it and try to print from it. When I try to print I get the error message:
NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY
I later get the "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds" message too.

Be sure the printer name assigned in Windows is not more than 11 alphanumeric characters. Long names with punctuation and the like are known to cause problems.
Look at:
Mac OS X 10.4- Can't print to a printer shared by Microsoft Windows;
Mac OS X- Cannot locate a shared Windows printer;

Tutorial: Resolving common printer problems
Mac OS X offers a robust printing system with built-in support for hundreds of devices from a wide body of manufacturers. It's not without flaws, however, and printers often become unrecognized or non-functional after a significant Mac OS X update. Printers connected through hubs or AirPort base stations can also exhibit some frustrating issues.
Below is a run-down of the most generally successful printer workarounds. Keep trying until one of them sticks.
Use Printer Setup Repair This tool lets you verify properties of the root user, the Printing Services (lp) user, and Print Operators (lp) groups, reset the printing system, perform CUPS maintenance and more. Run through its set of maintenance tasks before delving into further printer troubleshooting. See how to use it in this article.
Re-install CUPS If you are experiencing printer issues after applying an incremental Mac OS X update, problems may have occurred with your CUPS installation during the update process.
The file is available from this Web site: http://www.cups.org/software.php, and is labeled cups-1.2.1.dmg
Delete then re-add printers/Reset printing system Open Printer Setup Utility, located in Applications/Utilities and look at the "Printer List" Highlight and delete all entries.
Alternatively, go to the "Printer Setup Utility" menu at the top of the screen and select "Reset Printing System".
Click the "Add" button and re-add your printer(s).
Gutenprint and usbtb Some users have been able to resolve printer communication issues by installing the excellent open-source Epson printer drivers available as part of the Gutenprint package (formerly known as Gimp-print) and usbtb, a CUPS back-end for USB printing.
Remove non-required drivers Removing extraneous drivers from /Library/Printers(name of manufacturer) can sometimes resolve printer issues. Remove files that are for other models than your own.
Re-install drivers Re-installation of printer drivers from original media or from a Web download (either directly through the manufacturers site or via a search by model/manufacturer on VersionTracker) can resolve some printer issues.
Try disconnecting from network In some cases, LAN-connected printer, seemingly broken by the Mac OS X update can restored to normal operation by simply disconnecting the device from the network then re-connecting it.
"Communicator Error" -- try power cycling If you receive a "Communication Error" message when attempting to print after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.5, the first workaround you should try is power cycling the printer, as well as disconnecting then re-connecting it to the Mac.
Connecting directly to the Mac If you are having printer problems and are using an external USB hub, try connecting the printer directly to your Mac.
One reader who had success with this method writes:
"Unfortunately the update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 has eliminated the ability to use my Lexmark Z600 series USB printer on my iMac G5 20" iSight (rev C).
"I resolved the problem via the following: I unplugged my external USB hub and plugged the printer directly to my computer."
Disconnect from AirPort and reset For those who are using printers connected to an AirPort Express, Extreme or another wireless device with USB connections, you might want to try the following:
Disconnect the printer from the AirPort unit (or other router)
Wait a few minutes
Plug it back in
Restart the base station unit
Check for your printer to appear in AirPort Admin Utility (located in Applications/Utilities)
Print one copy In some cases, using print one copy instead of the standard print command can result in elimination of crashes that occur during printing.
Try IP printing instead of AppleTalk Some Macs are unable to see AppleTalk printers that are located on the local AirPort (or other wireless) network. Several users have been able to workaround this issue by using IP printing instead of AppleTalk.
Last resort -- Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing the somewhat tedious Archive and Install process, then re-upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.7. This has solved some otherwise inexplicable printer issues for MacFixIt readers.

How can I print from Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8?

I need to print information from my dropbox that is a .pdf format. How can I print from ART for Windows8? I can't find the print icon nor does a right click give me the option to print. I'm using a laptop, not a tablet. (And not loving Windows 8!)

Please see FAQ: Printing a PDF file in Windows 8.
If you are running Windows 8 on a laptop with an Intel-based processor, you can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) alternatively.
Go to your Windows 8 desktop.
Go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ in your browser.
Download and install Adobe Reader XI.
Launch Adobe Reader XI and open a PDF file.
Select File > Print from the menu.

Hello @gah1938,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving your printing issue of only being able to print from apps from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP Officejet Pro 6230 ePrinter.
To ensure that everything is installed and loaded correctly for your printer drivers and software can you please run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. This Tool will run on your computer and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any connection, software or driver conflicts be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor will identify and resolve those issues.
HP Print and Scan Doctor
Please let me know if the HP Print and Scan Doctor finds and resolves any issues for you.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Can i print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do i have to have an airprinter?

Can I print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do I have to have an air printer?

It depends on the printer and if it is shared on your home network.
I have a wireless HP printer, but it is not an E Printer and cannot print directly from my mobile device. I purchased an Epson all in one E Printer so that I could print from my tablet. THe printer cost me less than $90 at Walmart.

MFP M127fn connected, test printing OK, can't print from applications

Hello Everyone!
I have just set up my M127fn via USB on a Windows 8 system. The set up went fine. I have a small stack of test pages from the HP software, but it won't print anything from any applications like MSOffice. The HP diagnostic software (Print and Scan Doctor 4.6) can communicate with the printer and everything checks out OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I have replied twice to your last posting, but have heard no response. Unless a solution can be presented quickly, I fell I must return the product. LPug and play was introduced with Windows 95 and this HP product has not lived up to that 20 year old technological standard. My previous replies are copied below.
Please respond soon.__________________________________________

Hello again!
I haven't heard a response to my most recent reply. Is there anything you can suggest before I give up and return this HP product to the store? I would like a quick resolution to this. As an update to my previous email (copied below), printing is no longer working through Adobe Reader.
Thanks,
Chris

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.

All of a sudden I can't print from Firefox. I reinstalled the printer and also reinstalled Firefox. No joy. I can print from Safari.

I have an IMac, OS X 10.5.8
I've had it for more than a year and have always been able to print from Firefox without a problem. I have an HP deskjet 6850 printer.
Now I can't print from Firefox. When I hit print, I get the dialog box but if I click print -- or even click "preview" nothing happens. The dialog box disappears and nothing prints.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.
