Can't print on my F4580 all in one from my MacBook with OSX via usb

Hi Forum,
I have a HP F4580 All-in-one printer/scanner which worked fine on my old laptop with windows vista.
The laptop has now died so i thought I'd try Apple.
I now need to print some stuff off for work but it doesnt seem to produce anything.
It's plugged via usb and its has been setup on the Mac through the System Preferences and Printer & Scanners icon but when you click print on the document you want the little printer icon pops up on the dock at the bottom but the printer never prints anything!!
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or if it evens works through OSX.
Please help.
Many Thanks Willow1980

No problem!
I would recommend repairing the disk permissions on your computer by following this Apple document here. Once this is complete, make sure your Apple updates are complete by following this Apple document here.
Now, I would reset the printing system on your computer. Please follow this Apple document here. If your USB connection isn't responding correctly, then follow this Apple document on USB: Troubleshooting Error Messages. I will be looking forward to hearing from you again!

Hi,
Although the C7280 is not AirPrint enabled, you may still print through the local network using the HP ePrint mobile app.
you may find the steps to get and use the app in the following document:

How can I print a list of all folders/directories on my MacBook Pro?

I need to print a list of all directories on my MacBook Pro. Is there a way to do this already on my Mac, or can anyone recommend the best software to do this?

And if you pipe the result of Charlie's suggestion to a file, you have it printed out:
in the Terminal you enter following command first:
cd <enter>
now you are in the root folder ... and then:
sudo ls -R */ | grep '/$' | cat > ~/Desktop/folders.txt <enter>
to explain:
certain folders are only readable by the administrator. That means, we precede this command by sudo; you have to enter your password
ls means list, the switch -R means recursive
| means pipe the command to an other command and grep is taking only the entries finishing with a / (that means folders only, not the files
then we | pipe everything to the command cat, which puts the found folders into a file on the desktop ...
hope this helps

Wireless printing on the HP2540 all in one doesn't work with my Mac computer

I have reinstalled the HP software 4 times but my MacBook Pro with the latest Lion OS will not print wirelessl with my HP 2540 All in One. Does anyone know how I might get this working?

Hello Seraphim8,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are having some problems getting your HP Deskjet 2540 connected wirelessly to your Mac running the Lion OS X.
I would like you to start here: 'Unable to find printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati...
Please follow ALL steps listed and remember not all wireless routers support Bonjour or all of Bonjour's features. Since Bonjour is the default method for discovering printers on a network, you must first make sure that your wireless router supports Bonjour.
The document will help you determine if your router is compatible with Bonjour. Let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.
Thank you,

Cannot print to psc 1210v all-in-one from users

Only the administrator login is able to print to the psc 1210v, in Windows XP MCE. When regular user tries to print to the psc 1210v, the print job appears in the printer que, but shortly just disappears.

How I resolved the issue was to change other "User" account type, temporarily to "Administrator" and updated the printer driver from within Device Manager. I also changed, within Windows Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), the Load/Unload Device Drivers permissions (Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment) to include "Users" group rights, in hope this will resolve this problem again in the future.
I think that, because this Group Policy setting was restricted to Administrators group that it prevented the USB printer driver from installing properly in anyone's login that is part of the Users group. So, though the HP all-in-one software was installed for all users, the USB drivers were not. I found this by clicking on the printer driver "Details" from a "Users" login, from within Device Manager, which stated that no drivers were installed or found.

Is there any all in one that works seemlessly with OSX wirelessly?

Morning all,
I am replacing my HP PSC 2510, I can only print over wireless no other functionality, I will buy another all in one with wireless, but I want all functionality available, fax, scan, print? Any suggestions of proven success?
Thanks in Advance

We've had reports that the Canon models with built-in wireless work well - I think the models are iP4200R and 5200R.

After upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 My HP Deskjet F4580 all in one printer no longer scans. How can we fix it?

Hi All,
I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks, but now my HP Deskjet F4580 All in one printer will not scan any documents either as PDF or as JPG, how can we fix this?

I have simialr problems, after i scanned the ducuments or pictures, i can save it for only once, but the file is just black pictures with many lines through them. When i try to save it again, then it says ''An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.', which then doesn't allow me to do anything of saving the file or even just to print it out.

My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

The Photosmart 5510 is AirPrint capable. You can find that information linked below. There may be something in the network that is preventing communication. To use AirPrint your router needs to support Bonjour services. Run the download below. It will let you test Bonjour services from your Windows PC. If this app can't see the printer either, then the router's Bonjour services are off, or it does not support Bonjour. Let me know what the app finds. If it can't find the printer, let me know what brand and model router you have, and I'll see if it has Bonjour services at all.

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.

How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible

How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible..?

Hi @millep
To answer your question, no the Officejet 2620 is not a wireless printer;
- Source: Printer specifications
As for the USB cable, personally, I believe the intention is to bring down the cost of the printer by selling the USB cable separately. Many people already have printer USB cables kicking around the house, so instead of paying more for the printer and having an extra cable I believe the theory is reduce the cost and sell the USB separately for those who need to purchase one.
I hope this answers your inquiry.

Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2. I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440). I am unable to print pdf files. About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything. I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one. I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue. When in Reader, everything seems normal. When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens. I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print. I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem. I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation: it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc. I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong. It just will not print. Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Another user experience exactly the same issue with vista and printing from Adobe reader.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/642000?tstart=1 Its copied below as a reference.
The problem was on my Auntys PC, and yes i did updated Adobe Reader to v9.3.2 and still the same issue underlned below.
My Aunty lives 70 miles away so will not be trying anything else.
The printer works fine with every other application only Adobe Reader files will print.

Can i set the ipad to print to an Hp all in one that is connected to Airport express

Can i set the Ipad to print to an HP All-in-one Printer that is connected to airport express?

Hey Eugene!
Here is the website about AirPrint, if you scroll down it will say in details if your model is compatible with AirPrint.

Are there any updates so i can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One Printer wirelessly?

just wondering..are there any updates for the iMac with OS X (10.8.2) so I can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One (Print,Scan,Copy)?

Hi,
An HP Full Feature Software is not available for Mountain Lion, therefore the Wireless configuration is tricky and cannot be done through the software.
To connect the printer to your wireless network you will need to create a temporary wireless ad hoc connection, then the wireless connection to your router can be configured via the EWS page:
Step one: Restore the printer's network default settings
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless / Scan .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Menu .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Settings .
Use the up and down ATM buttons ( ) to select Restore Network Defaults , and then press OK .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Yes to confirm your selection.
Step two: Networkly connect the Mac to the printer by creating a temporary ad-hoc connection
From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Click Join other network.
Click Show Networks.
Select the printer's SSID, it should be listed as HPSETUP or should contain HP or C4700 within its name.
Click Connect
Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
Step three: Connect the printer to your router via the EWS page
Open Safari.
Click the Bookmarks icon ()
Click Bonjour.
Double click the printer name, the EWS page appears.
Open the Networking tab.
From the left pane select Wireless.
Click the Start Wizard button and follow the steps to connect the printer to your router.
Step four: Reconnect the Mac to your router
From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Click Join other network.
Click Show Networks.
Select your router SSID.
Click Connect
Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
Now the printer should be connected to your network.
Open Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and add the printer listed as Bonjour.
btw John Galt - I this it should be spelled as OS X, please correct me if i'm wrong.. ;-)
Hope that helps,
Shlomi

How can I print mulitple different .ai files onto one page in Illustrator CS6?

How can I print mulitple different .ai files onto one page in Illustrator CS6? I have all of the files organized by Arrange Documents>Tile All in Grid and I would like to print the files in this format so that they can all be seen at once when printed out onto one page.
Some background is that I have 16 different cad drawings that I have converted and edited in illustrator. I'd like to basically make a contact sheet with all 16 drawings so that they can be reviewed on one sheet of paper after printing. But each drawing is in it's own unique file, and I have not figured out how to put them all onto one page for printing.

You can place them (linked) into a new Illustrator file and print from there.
The original files will need pdf compatability.

Why wont' my Iphone 4 print to hp 4500 all in one?

I downloaded the Hp home&biz app to print to HP 4500 All in one printer.
I can print from Ipad, Itouch and MacBook Pro but not from Iphone 4.?????
I have tried everything.
Thanks.

Hello dobis11011,
You have verified a lot of common factors that can interfere with the printing method that you want to use.
I would also try some additional steps, you can try to print after each step to isolate the causing factor:
Verify Bluetooth is off (preferred setting).
Power your iPhone off and then on.
Press the home button twice and end the HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the multitasking section.
Delete the app and re-download it from the Apple App Store, as it is a free app.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
