Can't print to my HP D2460 over the network anymore, after upgrade to SL.

Hi,
I upgraded to Snow Leopard today. Now I can't print to my HP D2460 Deskjet printer anymore. The printer is shared from my Windows XP system via SMB. When I try to print I see the following message in the print queue on the Windows XP system: "Remote Downlevel Document - Error printing".
I have updated the print drivers at both ends and still can't get it to work.
If I connect the printer to a USB port on my MacBook Pro, it prints fine. It's only the network/SMB printing that seems to be broken.
Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it?
Cheers.
Gibbo

Try downloading the driver here.

  • Can you share a USB hard drive over the network through an Airport Express?

    After asking a few individuals at my local Apple Store, I have been consistantly told that I can plug in a usb hard drive into the bottom of my airport express and share it over the network.
    However, after making sure my airport express has the latest firmware (6.3) and even donwloading and installing the airport disk utility I still am not having any luck getting my HFS (journaled) usb 2.0 hard drive to be visible on the network.
    I have also noticed that when following the instructions on this apple support document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AirportUtility/5.1/en/ap2108.html) that when I get to step 3, the option to click disks is grayed out. I assume this supports my theory that the airport express won't share hard drives, can anyone confirm?
    Am I doing something wrong? Or were the reps at my store mistaken and the only hardware that can share a hard drive is the airport extreme not express?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the swift reply.
    Continuing my investigation I started to come to the conclusion you just mentioned. I am surprised none of the staff at my store realized this. However, at least I know now.
    The basis for me looking to this is... With leopard on the eve of its release, I wanted to get a large network accessible storage solution that would allow my wife's and I's Macbook pros to use time machine on the network drive when we were at home. Since we rarely use our laptops while sitting at a desk connected to an external drive, I figured this would be a great idea and started to look into various NAS solutions.
    Surprisingly, most generic (netgear, western digital) network drives require you use proprietary software to connect to them, and are only compatible with windows xp. After seeing the options the airport extreme opens up in terms of network storage I figured it would be the best bet.
    Do you have any other suggestions besides getting an airport extreme? I would rather not have to buy a full blown mac that I have to leave on 24/7 to share the drives. Or do you see any possible pitfalls to this idea? Such as, would time machine forget to use the network drive after a while since it wouldn't always be available to it when away from home?

  • HP Photosmart 5510d can't be printed to by 2 laptops over wireless network

    Computer 1 - Vista 32 Pro
    Computer 2 - Win 7 64 Premium
    Both have current drivers. Both  can find the printer. Both can cancel print queue jobs.
    Both get the "The printer is not connected" or "printer is not online" error.
    I've checked the IP addy: 192.168.1.101
    There is a desktop system that is able to print to the printer - it is located directly next to the printer, but prints wirelessly. I moved one of the systems into the same room as the printer; no dice. We've even had the "next door" computer wake up - and the printer still doesn't do diddly in regards to the laptop.
    At least one system is able to access the Printer Assistant - and see what current ink levels are, which match what the printer self-page spits out. (I haven't tested it w/ the other laptop).
    Help?

    Set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of your router.  Use a fixed channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto'.  Now try.

  • Airport won't print over the network

    I have a basic HP Photosmart C4200 series printer. It works fine when I plug it directly into my computer but when I plug it into the router, it won't print and this message comes up : "Unable to read response header - short read"
    When I delete/add the printer from Preferences, it finds the printer and establishes connection but when I try to print over the network, it gives me that error message.
    A weird thing I found was that when connected to the airport, my printer shows up under the iDisks tab under the Airport Utilities instead of being in the Printers tab...

    Welcome to the discussions!
    A number of entry level printers are designed so that they will only work when they are connected directly to a computer, so that may possibly explain your problem.
    To verify, you can work your way through Apple's troubleshooting guide to see if this is the case. If you've completed all the steps and still can't print, I think you have your answer.

  • Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network

    My wireless printing chooses when it wants to work, and right now it's really acting up. It is connected wirelessly, it is the default printer, but after troubleshooting it is telling me "Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network." What can I do to get printing again?

    Hello featherfamily,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer not connecting with a wireless connection.
    Please click on the following link that deals with when the 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Pinging a printer to see if it works over the network

    I've been printing from a Windows 7 computer to a PSC C6180 over a wireless network.  All of a sudden it stopped printing.  I don't if a power surge or something blew some stuff out (the fax part is already gone) or if it is something else. 
    I removed the printer and removed the installed software in order to put it back in its "initial state." 
    Before I removed the software, I tried to add a network printer to see if that would do it.   At the point in the process where it looks for printers, it didn't find it.  It makes me wonder if it will work over the network at all, but I do note the blue 802.11g LED is lit.
    Before I reinstall the software (AIO_CDA_FSW_Full_Win_WW.130_140.exe is what I have) I want to ping the printer and see if the computer can see it.  What's the ping address?

    Hello ErnieLane,
    Please follow steps 1-4 described in Access the Embedded Web Server to print a configuration page, it will contain the current IP address (if any).
    Hope this will help.

  • Is it possible to add an HP all in one printer to my vetwork via UBS on an Airport Extreme so that the scanner and print functions are available over the network?

    Im very new to this "networking thing" so your patience is welcome. I have managed to get the Time capsual AE up and running and thanks to bonjour I have a printer via USB working. However, its an all in one machine and I can not work out how to get the scanner to work over the network - or even if its possible. Is this possible?

    No, you cannot scan over the network, unless the printer has network capability.. in which case the printer must connect via ethernet or wireless not USB.
    All USB printers are designed as local printers not network.

  • HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"

    I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet.  I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
    The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
    The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
    When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address.  It is the only thing it discovers.
    I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network"  Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
    This just cycles with no progress.  I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV.  No change.
    I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer.  It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
    I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
    This question was solved.

    I am having a similar problem as well.  The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility.  However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized.  I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck.  As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
    To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues.  Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated!

  • Before I had Mavericks I was able to print over the network to a Windows PC. Now I receive the message, "connection refused." Any ideas?

    Before I upgraded to Mavericks, I was able to print over the network to a printer attached to a Windows PC. Now, I receive the message, "connection refused." any ideas as to why this may be and what I can do about it would be appreciated.

    I had reconfigured all of the settings the same as in the previous OS X. The only thing I can think of that may be causing this is that the printer is an older Canon Pixma iP4300 and the Canon site doesn't have a driver for the new OS X. The Canon site said that the new OS X may supply the driver. Is there any one with the same experience as mine?

  • Epson Stylus CX5400 printing rubbish over the network!!!

    Hi! I am visiting my mom and dad for the holidays and they have an all-in-one Epson Stylus CX 5400 connected to their WinXP computer. Bonjour installed as well.
    I have tried a few times to print some photos from iPhoto. I also tried printing an email from Apple's Mail. Everytime all I got was... nonsense basically. This kind of printout with unreadable characters.
    I thought the lack of drivers for such a device installed in my PB should make no difference but anyway I tried installing them. I was right, the result was the same.
    File sharing takes place without problem. As far as I know the drivers are up to date on both computers. If I connect the CX5400 directly to a PB's USB port it works great, but no otherwise.
    Any thoughts?
    Merry Christmas and happy 2006.
    George...

    Neither the PC nor the printer know what to do with the PostScript your Mac is sending. When the printer is attached directly to the Mac you use the printer's USB driver which speaks the printer's language, but when you send it over the network to the PC, you are using PostScript printing which the PC can't raster, and the printer doesn't understand. I don't think there is a solution here. I doubt there is a PostScript driver for that printer. You could install GhostScript on the PC, but that is very complicated and probably not worth it.

  • Unable to print to USB printer over the network

    Hi all,
    I have an iMac and an Macbook Air, both running 10.6.4, and I've got an HP LaserJet 1200 printer connected to the iMac by USB. Both machines are on my home wireless network (Linksys, FWIW).
    I seem to be unable to print to the LaserJet over the network from my Air. I've tried all manner of permutations of printer setup on the Air: IPP/LPD/HP JetDirect; entering the hostname (*.local) and the IP address of the host; leaving the queue blank and not; and leaving "Print Using" as generic vs selecting the LaserJet drivers. The printers appear in the "Default" Add Printer menu as Bonjour Shared, but this doesn't seem to work either.
    Following other threads, I've tooled around with CUPS (resetting the configuration file, etc.), with no success. The other threads I've found on the subject seem to be more specifically addressed to folks trying to use an AirPort.
    Any suggestions for what to try next?

    In that case, let me elaborate on what happens when I try to set up the printer via Bonjour, in case there are any clues in the behavior that I'm seeing. The printer seems to appear twice in the "Default" pane, with Kind as 'Bonjour Shared' and Printer Names as follows:
    HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname)
    HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname) @ (hostname)
    Selecting the first, it displays "Gathering printer information..." for a few minutes, then strikes out, suggesting Generic PostScript Printer rather than the correct driver. Whether I stick with that or select the correct driver manually and then try to print, it hangs on 'Copying print data..." (in the print queue).
    Selecting the second, it gathers printer information only for a second or two before settling on Generic PostScript Printer. If I stick with Generic PostScript Printer, it hangs on 'Connected to printer...' but if I select the correct driver, it hangs on 'Copying print data...' again.

  • Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

    Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

    I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
    As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
    Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
    I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

    Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
    What I did wrong was:
    - not copying the master image to the nbi folder
    - selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
    The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
    With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
    In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
    Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
    http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
    This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.
