Can't print to hp laser jet 1020 printer connected to airport express

Hello All - I recently bought an airport extreme so I am doing some re-configuring of my home network but I am having issues getting the desired out come.
I have the airport extreme connected to the modem. From the extreme in another room, I have an airport express connected to the airport extreme wirelessly (I set that up through the airport utility without any problems.)  Now I want to connect my usb hp laser jet 1020 printer the airport express to print from.  I have a windows 7 machine.  I can see the printer connected to the airport express through the airport utility.  I have tried to use the bonjour print service to set up the print connection.  Bonjour sees the printer connected as well, I run through all the prompts and click finish, but when I go to print something, it goes to print que and nothing happens. (side note, the printer works just fine when connected directly to the computer).
So I guess my question is, it appears the computer sees that my printer is connected to the airport express. But some point along the way, when I go to print, the message gets lost or goes to the wrong place. I am on the right track?  Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Does "plugged into it" mean that the printer is connected using USB or Ethernet?
If USB, have you run Bonjour for Windows to find and configure the printer?  (Pages 16-17 in the Setup Guide)
Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2

  • HP Laser Jet 1020 Printing is Moody - Drivers can't delete

    I have a W7 Laptop & an HP LaserJet 1020 which has been working like a charm. I left for a month with my laptop.
    Upon my return, my printer has become 'selective':
    From MS Word - It will print a blank page
    From a PDF - Nothing will print, yet no error message
    A picture - will print
    (I have yet to check MS Pub.)
    I have tried to uninstall the drivers but it tells me that there was an unexpected error.
    I tried using the CD to 'repair' the drivers, but the problem persists, and I couldnt delete the drivers after 'reinstalling them'.
    The one that saves the solution earns a halo

    Sorry that you are having a problem with your printer from MS Word and PDF. It seems that a communication error may have occurred. 
    Perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. Leave it out for 30 seconds and plug it back in. 
    Also reboot you computer. 
    Then try to print. If it doesn't print, then try to UNINSTALL the software and drivers again.

  • HP Laser Jet 1020 printing again the last job

    Hello there!
    I have a printer HPLaser Jet 1020 which, after reboot, of the computer when switching ON the printer, it immediately begins printing the last job that was sent to the printer before the computer had been switched OFF.
    I have checked the printing queue before turning OFF the computer and it is empty.
    This problem does not happen every reboot, but happens very often and I haven't been able to find the pattern, nor the cause. I've tried it in two different computers and the same problem occurrs. Has anybody else had the same problem?
    By the way, I have Windows XP in both computers and the drivers have been downloaded from the HP web-site.
    Thanks!

  • I cannot print from my iPad using airport express. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to airport express thru USB port. My laptop can print with no problem thru the express unit. My lap top is no a mac.

    Good day, my iPad does not seem to pick up my printer. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to my airport express thru the USB port. My laptop which is windows type connects to the printer via airport express thru bonjour and this work well. My iPad does not pick up my printer thru the airport express. I have read about different software that you can download but this seems to be only if you are using a mac. I know my express is working fine as I can use airplay thru my iPad. Any ideas? I do not want to go to the expense of changing my printer, when there was no mention in the express details that your printer had to be AirPrint compatible or indeed wireless.

    See this article to learn how to print from an iPad to your USB printer when you have a PC.  The PC will need to be running when you want to print from the iPad.

  • Cannot print wirelessly USB h/p Officejet 5610 connected to Airport Express

    my iBook G4 is upgraded to Tiger v10.4.11. Can do successful printing tethered to USB printer. Want to print wirelessly. AirPort is active, indicator light is solid green. USB printer is plugged into AirPort Express. I clicked file, then print, then selected Bonjour printers-my printer. The iBk tried to add printer but I got the following message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer".
    Can anyone out there help me? Many thanks. gold75

    Were you able to previously use that same printer via AirPort Express,
    & print wirelessly, with the USB wire plugged into the AirPort base unit?
    Since I have the exact all-in-one HP printer/scanner/copier/fax model
    by number, and have the downloaded HP drivers (a large file) to be
    up-to-date, the HP device has never worked via USB plugged into AE.
    Mine is the older AirPort Express 802.11b/g. All of my Macs see and
    use the Epson printer attached to my AirPort Express; and like the OP
    my HP won't do anything at all and is never seen connected via USB
    to the base station. So I figured it was not supported. After looking for
    about a year, I found little evidence it was capable of working via wi-fi
    through the USB cabling to the base station; unlike some others.
    I do have an Epson 820 Photo Stylus that always works well with the
    same base station via USB cable; except for the ink status utility and
    cleaning head utility, these only work when attached by USB cable.
    The Epson also worked well with the last model orb-shaped AirPort
    Extreme base station to print via the USB port; that is a superior base
    unit with more capabilities, it's the printer & drivers with limitations.
    If you do get the HP 5610xi or similar all-in-one to work, note back
    here what drivers and/or configuration you used to accomplish that.
    An older list, unofficial, of compatible printers that had been used under
    some circumstances (airport firmware updates can change this) were
    noted in this web page: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html
    A second page there suggests trying gimp or other drivers; the issue
    in part may also be the airport firmware update in use. Printers not on
    the compatibility list: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html

  • After upgrading to OS 10.8.1 I can no longer scan from my Canon MP240 printer when it is connected to Airport Express.

    I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
    Thanks,
    J.

    I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

  • Laser Jet 1020 will no longer print Internet/email. Error message is res://ieframe/dll/preview.js

    Laser Jet 1020 used to print just fine from internet explorer. Suddenly it quit printing and I get an error message res://ieframe.dll/preview.js  The bottom of the error message asks if I want to cancel script. Prints fine from other windows applications. From the Internet, the correct printer is selected? Any suggestions?!
    Laura

    The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
    We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it.  Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
    1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
    2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
    3) Reboot
    4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
    5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
    6) Run the HP Update Tool from Start Menu > All Programs > HP if your printer installs it, rebooting afterwards if necessary.
    7) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
    Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
    Thanks,

  • Where can I get an HP Laser Jet 5 Basic Printer driver

    Where can I get an HP Laser Jet 5 Basic Printer driver, besides using the windows Update button. 

    Here is the product page for the Laserjet 5p/mp page. This will be the best place to find what you need. If it is not listed here, then the only other place to get the driver is through windows update.

  • I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it.  The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Clark
    There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
    Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
    If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
    Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up. 
    From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

  • Mac OSx 10.8.5 and HP laser jet 2100M printer w/ driver version 19.8--Doesn't print!

    I've got a macbook pro with Mac OSx 10.8.5. I've successfully printed with my HP Laser jet 2100M printer until recently. The driver version is 19.8. I don't know what changed but about a month ago the printer says "printing--connected to printer" but it never prints. What do I need to do to get my printer and my macbook to communicate again and start printing? I also have a mac mini desktop running on mac osx 10.7.5 and it doesn't talk to the HP Laser jet 2100M either (also driver 19.8.Please, can you tell me how configure so these macs will be able to print to my printer?

    I have had a similar issue with my HP LaserJet 1320 printer on OS X 10.8. On certain PDF files (only those that I have tested so far), the data will send fine from the computer (and the job goes away) but the printer balks and drops the print job on its end. It's only when I save it as an image in Preview and then print will it work (advice from this forum post). However, when I updated the driver from 19.8 to 19.13 (in the Apple Software Update), it seemed to fix it.  Do you know what changed between 19.8 to 19.13? 

  • How do I use my HP Laser Jet 4M  printer work with my OS 10.9 MacBook Pro

    A "newbie" here.  I am having trouble getting my new Macbook Pro and its 10.9 OS to accept my HP Laser Jet 4M+ printer.  HP apparently does not support the Mac's OS10.9. Any help appreciated.

    Ok, I've downloaded the drivers as suggested.but still not printing as it should.
    It's now printing one page as opposed to many, but it still has the jargon on top of the page as depicted in my original post?
    From this info you advised, it does suggest, does it not, that the HP Laser Jet 6p is supported.
    Meanwhile, any other advice.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
    Here are some additional information:
    - Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
    - Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
    - New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
    - New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
    Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
    This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
    1. Add a printer
    2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
    3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
    4. Selected my new printer driver
    5. Finish
    I also tried a few things like:
    - Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
    - Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
    - Restarting my ThinkPad.
    I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

    Hi,
    You might want to download and install bonjour for windows to your Thinkpad it is how I got my roomates XP laptop to print on AX.

  • How do i install a hp laser jet 4l printer on windows7

    how do i install a hp laser jet 4l printer on windows7 Where do I get the drivers

    The driver is delivered through Windows Update as described here.  
    You could also use the Windows 7 driver finder tool at http://www.hp.com/go/tools.
    If you do not have a parallel port on your Windows 7 machine you may need a USB-parallel converter cable.  The models mentioned in the posts tagged here have been verified by users to work in Windows 7.

  • What is the life expectancy of the hp laser jet p3015 printer?

    What is the life expectancy of the hp laser jet p3015 printer?

    What is the life expectancy of the older base stations (flying saucer/spaceship looking one) and what are the telltale connection signs that it's starting to go?
    Apple has never published any life expectancy specifications for any of their routers (or desktops/laptops) that I am aware of. As a rule of thumb, I would consider two years for any consumer electronics that operates 24 x 7 to be a reasonable period. Obviously some experience more or less and it would depend on a number of factors: ambient temperature, electrical circuit stability, area prone to lightening strikes, etc.
    Some telltale signs that an AirPort has (or is about to fail):
    Status lights are not illuminated or do not match any of the known configurations.
    Unit feels cool to the touch after power is applied even after a lengthly (15-30 minutes) period of time.
    Unit refuses to intialize, even after performing multiple "factory default" resets.
    Weak or no wireless signal.
    Ethernet port(s) not functioning
    Etc.
    Also, are there any compatiility issues with newer models and G5/G4s?
    Three potential issues:
    Depending on the version of OS X you are running on these clients, they may not be able to support the latest AirPort Utility required to administer the latest AirPorts. OS X 10.5.7 is the minimum required.
    Support for 802.11n connectivity. Most G5 or G4 Apples support 802.11g, some only 802.11b.
    Support for WPA2. Not supported if the G5 or G4 is equipped with the Original AirPort Card.

  • How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

    How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

    In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
    Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
    So, you have two options:
    1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
    2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print.  If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.
