Can't print using HP Photosmart C7280 wirelessly in Mountain Lion

Hi folks,
Having recently updated to the latest HP Printer drivers I have been unable to print or scan with my printer wirelessly since.
Whenever I try to print something the print queue tells me that it fails to find the printer. Same thing happens whenever I try to scan something.
The printer works fine is I connect it to a USB via my MacBook Pro but that completely defeats the purpose of me getting the printer in the first place.
I've reset the network settings on the printer and reconnected it, and I've removed the printers from System Preferences and added it again but I'm not sure where to go from there.
Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Check out this thread. Follow the second post (solved post) on how to setup a static IP.

Can you print using both USB and Wireless on HP M175nw?

I am having a problem with my new LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw. When I initially set it up with Setup wizard, I selected the "USB" option, since that was how my old printer was hooked up to the computer. That worked fine and the printer works perfectly with my desktop. Now I can't figure out how to also set up the printer to be used wirelessly. I specifically bought this printer because I wanted to be able to Airprint from an ipad. I've tried several of the fixes listed on this website, but I'm not able to get a list of wireless networks to appear on the printer's menu. I am using a Linksys wireless G router, which is hardwired to my desktop, but which I use to wirelessly access the internet with my laptop and ipad.
What is the best way to be able to use the printer with my both my desktop (non-wireless), laptop, and ipad (both wireless)? Can I leave the printer hardwired to my desktop with a USB AND connect the other devices wirelessly? If so, what is the best way for me to connect the printer to my router - wirelessly or wired? What steps do I need to take to do that and get the printer connected?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Before Christmas 2011, I ran few tests and I've posted elsewhere on this forum. My printer is a different model but I believe same technology. My tests indicated we can connect printer using BOTH wireless and USB. Printer will show busy/not available during direct print (ie USB) but it knows job(s) is/are on the queue and print after that.
One thing I could not test successfully: scan and print at the same time.
Regards.

Epson 635 printer won't install via wireless with Mountain Lion

I am helping a friend with the upgrade to Mountain Lion and She has a giant desktop which I think is a MacPro but I'm not sure. Anyway everything works fine except now her Epson 635 printer won't see the wireless network. To me this seems like a router problem but all other computers see the network via the router. Also, this only happened with this upgrade. We've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, drivers, etc and still no go. Forgive me if my lingo is off but I am a tad new to Mac. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Here's a "Print 101" guide for Mac computers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
I believe that you're talking about an Epson WorkForce 635, which I'm quite sure Apple supports because they support the WorkForce 630 [series].
So try removing the printer from the MacBook and re-installing it per the guide.
P.S.: I'm running a WorkForce 645 printer just fine from Mountain Lion.

I have a HP Pavilion dv 2000 laptop and an HP Photosmart C7280 wireless printer.

I have an HP Pavilllion dv2000 laptop and an HP Photosmart C7280 wireless printer. They have worked well together until I reformatted and added Windows 7 on the laptop. I went online and downloaded the Windows 7 Printer Wizard. It recognizes my printer and says it has been installed. I have followed their directions and plugged USB cable into printer from laptop. It prints that way. How can I get this to print wirelessly?

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 from ipad to non wireless printer?

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer.
....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.

Do you need an AirPrint printer to print from an iPad or can you print using any wifi enabled printer?

I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4. Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date. I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems. What's wrong with the iPhone 4?

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

Purchasing new HP Photosmart printer which will require new OS X Mountain Lion driver software. Which steps do I take to install new printer, old printer HP still on iMac.

Hi Carol 22,
Thanks for the post. Depending upon the printer model, print drivers may be available from ASU. If not, then go to hp.com and download Mt. Lion drivers to your iMac. After you complete the hardware setup of the printer, if connecting wireless, then connect the printer to your network and then complete the installation and add the printer. Then you can go back and remove your old printer. I hope this helps...Good Luck!
I work for HP but my posts and replies are my own....Thank you!

Can I use ICal 5.0.3 with Mountain Lion?

Can I use time machine to revert to Mountain Lion from Maverick?

In spite of everyone saying how great Maverick is, I have poblems with slow operation, hard to use mail addresses, problems with iPhoto, etc. So I want to go back to Mountain Lion. Can I use Time Machine to restore back before Maverick was installed?

Only if you have a full backup of Mountain Lion on your Time Machine backup drive. Then you can boot to the Recovery HD that is on the Time Machine backup drive, erase your drive, then do a full Mountain Lion restore. But if you have already used Time Machine to backup your Mountain Lion system, then this won't work. You will need to erase the drive and reinstall Mountain Lion separately. Then you can restore your Home folder from the Time Machine backup.
Or you can avoid all the above by trying to fix the problems with your Mavericks system. You will need to upgrade iPhoto.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

Can't print to my Fuji Xerox C1110 since installing Lion

I can't print to my Fuji Xerox C1110 since installing Lion 4 days ago. I've installed the latest driver (v.2.2). I click on the Print button and nothing happens. I've tried 'Add a printer' but no luck. Is anyone else having the same problem or knows a solution?
Cheers,
David

Where did you get the driver? Was it from Apple's servers?
