Can't print from, Win 7 to a XP with 5650 deskjet.

I need to print to a desktop with XP (SP3) from my HP desktop with Win 7. I have treid to install the printer (via Add Printer) but the install fails, stating that it can not find the .inf file. What driver file will work?

Oh, OK. Plug the printer into your Win 7 machine with the USB cable (unplug it from the XP machine). Turn the printer on and the Win7 machine will download drivers for it.
When it is done, plug it back into the XP machine and then Add Printer on the WIn 7 machine to add a "network" instance of the printer. Delete the USB instance of the printer in Control Panel > Devices & Printers when you are all done so you are left with only the "network" instance of the printer.

I can't print from my iPad to an HP 3054 Deskjet.

I can't print from my iPad to an HP 3054 Deskjet. I tried all the solutions suggested by Apple but haven't gotten in touch with HP yet. I can print through WiFi from my MacBook.

Psm3-
Has anything else changed in your system? Did you install a different WiFi router? Some are not compatible with AirPrint.
One possibility is that you have a print job stuck in the print Queue. Double click your Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center. If you find it, you should be able to cancel the stuck print job.

Can't print from Win XP Laptop

I have an Airport Extreme connected to a G5 running 10.5.5.
One of the reasons I got the Airport Extreme was the belief that I could print from my laptop, running XP, wirelessly. I've installed Bonjour. The manual said to follow the on screen instructions, but there were none. When I launch the utility it does see my network, but not the printer. I have the printer plugged directly into the Airport Extreme.
I normally have the printer plugged directly into the Mac because when I have it plugged into the AE I can't print at all.
I do have a SonicWall installed as well.
The imac is connected to the AE via Ethernet.
Any suggestions?

Finally got this resolved...at least for today by uninstalling bonjour and reinstalling.

Can't print from a network computer to my HP Deskjet D2680 on a Windows 7 computer

I have an HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer connected to my HP desktop computer via a USB cable. The computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). I downloaded the current software and drivers from Hp (364 MB). I can print to this printer from any other computer on my home network.   So far, so good.
Now the problem. I also have an HP Deskjet D2680 printer connected to the same HP desktop computer above via a USB cable. I downloaded the current software and drivers from Hp (101 MB i think).   I can print to the D2680 from the HP computer, but I cannot print to the computer from any computer on the network. The print request does not generate an error. Nothing happens. No print job shows up in the print queue on the HP desktop computer.
When I add the D2680 as a network printer on any of my other computers, the D2680 printer is seen. The Add Printer function knows that the printer it is a D2680 printer and sets up the correct printer driver. Everything appears fine, but I just can't print to it from any network computer.
I then tried to add the D2680 as a local port... no luck. I identify it as \\ computer-name \ share-name, where computer-name is the name of the HP computer, and share-name is the name assigned to the D2680 when I shared the printer. On the HP computer, user passwords are turned off and all sharing options are turned on. I also modified the D2680 security to allow full access from NETWORK.   When I ty to create the local port... Access Denied.
Does the D2680 support network printing? If not, why? If not, someone from HP should be demoted to the mail room for that decision. If so, it is not working. So what do I do? Take a sledge hammer to it, then go buy another printer?
So much for plug and play.   It's more like plug and cry.
Thanks in advance for your suppprt.
David

I found a thread about the HP Print & Scan Doctor software tool. I downloaded and ran it. It detected a conflict with the D2680 driver / software, so I uninstalled the driver / software. I then reran the software install, and now everything works fine.

Printing from win XP to Mac with Epson HELP!

ok deep breath!
I have the EPSON CX6600 attached via usb to My G4 Powermac. I want to be able to print from XP to the printer . .
I've tried EVERYTHING! setting up is easy XP see's the printer wheather via Bonjour or CUPS, brilliant!! I print, it goes though and appears on the Mac in the printer jobs box . . nice! but (you knew there was a but didn't you!) its goes through without printing!! it tells me its printed and the job is done, but, it didn't, I know, because the printer didn't even hum, didn't light up and dance for me . . .I'm going mad, I need a solution!! HELP!!

I'm having the same trouble with my Epson RX500 - changing the driver to Apple Color Laser didn't help. I can print a test page, but when I try to print a document, the printer blinks once and then stops, and the Print Center says the job was printed.
The really frustrating part is that it worked fine a few days ago using the HP color laser driver!

Can't print from HP Win 7 64bit notebook to laserjet 1022 via wireless router

I've been able to always print from an XP notebook, but now I can't print from an HP Win 7 64 bit notebook to a Laserjet 1022 installed on an XP desktop via wireless router. Looking for a driver that I can't find anywhere. Followed all the forum help instructions that looked like it would work to no avail. Doesn't seem to be a Win 7 64 bit driver for the 1022 model, (not 1022n).

Can't print from Ubuntu or Win 7

Hello. I have an Arch x86_64 box which is my HTPC and print server. The printer is shared from CUPS and SAMBA. I can see it from a Win 7 and an Ubuntu 10.10 box. But I can't print anything from those machines. Not from another Arch box either. I have a strange issue with permissions or path or whatever so I must give su - command to use some commands as root and I'm not able to shut down my computer with sudo halt as an example. I did set up my box as usual a week ago and that su thing is new to me. Can it be related to each other this permission with su and CUPS printing problem?

Did you tell CUPS to allow remote printing?
It's been awhile since I've set up cups, and I don't even have it installed atm, but, if I remember right, there are options to allow/disallow remote printing, and also for certain ranges of host ips, and even for specific users.
So, what does your cups setup look like?
How about Samba? I'm thinking that your problem is more with CUPS than SAMBA.
Can you print from the computer that you have cups set up on as the server?
CUPS also has a web interface where you can adjust these options. Sorry, I don't remember the port number that you need to use to access it, but that should be in the man page.
As for the su thing, definately. It sounds to me like you aren't in the lp group, which is default for printer access.

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.

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.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

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.

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s. My iPhone 4s and iPad continue to print. When I try to print to either printer, the message reads,"contacting printer," and then, "preparing to print." But nothing prints.

Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310. Can't print from iPad iOS6. They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses. On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133. Can I match them? H

I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310). They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses! The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133. That's the only difference I can see. Is there a way to fix this?

fyi:
you put periods between the numbers.
Each device needs a unique number.
for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary. 192.168.1.x
the numbers you have look ok.
Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes. poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
cross fingers.

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home. Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached. Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.
