Can't see wireless printer

I upgraded to OSX and My HP 2600N could no longer be seen on my wireless network. This resolved it after much trial and error.

Can't see wireless printer on network

I have a MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard. I have a Brother HL-2270DL wireless printer. I CAN see and use the printer when I first turn on the computer or printer. However, when I try to use printer later, the system seems to be "asleep." The only way I have been able to wake it up is to close my laptop for 5 seconds, open it, and then it finds the printer and commences the printing job. Needless to say, that's an inferior solution. How can I make the computer see the printer every time?

Perhaps the router or whatever the printer is connected to needs a wake up.

Can't see MFP printer attached to AE (in Bridge mode)

Can't see MFP printer attached via ethernet cable to 2nd AE (in Bridge mode extending wireless network) on local wifi network.
Printer is set to static IP adress (192.168.0.50).
Upstream Router is: 192.168.0.1 (this is connected to first AE).
When the printer was previously attached (by ethernet cable) to 1st AE, everything was working fine and I could login to printer Admin page via Safari by typing IP Address. I have since moved the printer to the back of the house and leaving all previous settings, the printer is not visiable on the wifi network.
Normal process to setup is:
System Prefs > Print & Fax > Add > IP > 192.168.0.50 (currently just hangs not seeing the printer).
Normally the printer name appears and the correct driver is shown at the bottom as Use: Ricoh 2020D Driver

Have you verified that the Ethernet port is functioning correctly by temporarily connecting a laptop, turning off the wireless, and connecting using an Ethernet cable to see if the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way?
The all-in-one device should also be reset back to factory default settings, then reconfigured again with a new static IP address. In other words, start all over again on the printer including a complete power cycle of the main and extending AirPort devices..

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

OS X 10.8.3-Safari 6.0.4 Can't see or print Chase bank statements

Everything has worked just fine prior to installing the latest version of Adobe Reader. I could log on to my Chase credi tcard account, view and print from Safari anything I wanted. Subsequent to the Reader installation I can't see or print the statements. Printing other stuff hasn't been effected as far as I can tell.

Disable the Adobe Reader PDF plug-in.

If you want to use Adobe's plug-in, make sure you open Adobe Reader and accept the license agreements, if you haven't already.

Can't see the printer queue

Hi,
I can't see the printer queue in Snow Leopard.
Either if I go to the Printer & Fax setting in the System Settings and try to open the printer queue it doesn't open.

I have the same problem and I'd like to attach my issue to this thread.
I use a Brother HL5250DN printer connected via USB cable to an Airport Express base station. The model is supported by 10.6, drivers are installed and the printer appears properly on all the lists. I can print on it, I can set all the options, but I have no access to the queue whatsoever. I can print without problems, I just can't access the queue.
It doesn't appear in the Dock during printing.
Pressing the button in the Printer & Fax preferences window produces no result, error or feedback of any kind.
What's wrong? I tried reinstalling the drivers and the entire system, but without "Archive & Install" option I can't do much to ensure there are no left-overs from 10.5. Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I have my printer email address, but I can not see my printer listed when I login to hpeprint.com

I will need some more information in order to assist. What model of printer do you have? Different printers have different features such as the ability to display the printer's ePrint address on the front panel of the printer. The website that the printer can be viewed at is eprintcenter.com. Click on this link here to see the sign in page. Have you signed up and register the printer at this site? Is the email address for the printer one that you have customized? Or is one consisting of what appears to be random letters and numbers?

You need to update the printer's firmware to 2.0.

Can't find wireless printer with E2000 router

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (running Vista Home Premium) that connects to my Linksys E2000 and to a wireless printer, the Canon MX870. It's been working for months without problems.
I just got a Toshiba Satellite P770-BT4G22 Laptop (running Window 7 Professional 64 bit) and installed the Cisco Connect software following the instructions where you have already set up the router and just need to install the software to do things like add a device. I can connect to the router fine using a web browser or the Cisco Connect Software and my Toshiba connects to the Internet through the router without problems.
The problem is Cisco Connect says it can't find a wireless printer when I run it on my new Toshiba. I've put the printer within 3 feet of the router with my Toshiba in between but still it can't find it. My Dell in another room connects to the printer no problem. And I can print to the Canon if I select the Shared Canon Printer ( on the Dell) using the Toshiba's Control Panel Add Printer function. But obviously that means the Dell has to be on so that's not good for much more than troubleshooting. I've also wired a connection from the printer to the Toshiba and downloaded the latest driver, printed that way so I know that's not the problem. The problem is that Cisco Connect can't find the printer. It says there are 6 devices attached to my router so it's seeing something, but I guess not the printer. I've turned any firewalls off for this testing too.
I'm stumped as to why it can't find the printer when the Dell did and they are all on the same network. Unless it's not compatible with 64 bit Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

I have already added the printer to my network using Windows Add Printer prior to assigning the printer a static IP. But I followed your instructions in making the IP static so if I reset the router I don't have to go through the process again.
When I ran CC and told it to add a printer, it did not identify any printer for me, it went from the screen where you say to add a printer to one where it asked me to name the printer. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was referring to the Canon because I'd already added it using Windows, albeit without a static IP, just by knowing what IP it had been assigned. After I gave it the name, it went back to the "home" screen with computers & devices, parental controls, etc. No errors, but no real way to see or change what I had done.
That's why I was asking if there's a way to look at the router and view devices that have a static IP. I can view the DHCP table but it's not there of course. I don't really see anywhere using the router software (either by web connection or CC) where the Canon printer is listed. I see it in Windows Printers, but I saw it there before I reran CC and it asked me to name it.
I appreciate your help and I'm glad to be up and running with it. Especially with having a static IP. I'm just trying to better understand what happened and how to view my devices connected to the router.
Thank you very much for your help.

Macbook does not see wireless printer

My laserjet 1102w is connected to an airport extreme and I can print wirelessly from a windows 7 pc.
However, my Macbook Pro does not see the wireless printer. I can print though if I connect the printer directly via USB.
When trying to add a printer via the '+'button in Finder > Printer & Fax there is no response and nothing to connect to.
Anyone knows how to resolve this ?

Hi,
Be sure to enable Wireless Direct as listed within Steps one below, as well locate the display name as listed:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03351623&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=5169041&tmp_track_link=ot_search#N96
Once you are done click the WiFi icon on your Mac and select Join Other Network.
Click on Show Networks and the Wireless Direct network should be listed there.

Need help with IOS commands to see wireless printer

Seems that I'm not asking the question correctly, or providing the right information.
The problem:
I've purchased a wireless printer, (an HP 6500a) and I can not see / ping / use the printer on the wireless network.
Environment:
Cisco 891 ISR in standalone. Single office - Home-office environment. Nothing spectacular. WLAN connected and operational to the internet.
The printer is configured to use a static IP of 10.0.0.3 and reports that it is connected to the AP. However, when I ping FROM the command line at the AP, I DO NOT see the printer. (I did previously, but we lost power last night due to a storm and I'm still trying to reconfigure it...) DHCP is configured on the router to exclude the range 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.0.99
How do I configure the wireless router to allow any connected client to share files / printers etc? Seems that the Cisco router has this shut off
by default and I've found nothing in the user manual or by asking for help on here how to reverse this so that I can share printers / files on the LAN.
Please, I'm not stupid, but I'm only casually familiar with IOS and Cisco's networking terms.
Thanks in advance,
-Mike

Wireless clients can get on w/o issue. Nobody can ping anyone else or see them.
No file sharing, no printer.

New macbook pro can't find wireless printer

I have an HP1320nw, configured to run wirelessly through a linksys E1000 wireless router.
my wifes windows box can print to it ... and I can print to it via USB. But when I try and add it as an IP printer, my mac can't see it.
also ... A ping on the windows box works ... a ping on the mac times out
any ideas ?

If the Ping from the Mac times out then that explains why the Mac does not see the printer. But note that you never see a printer when adding it via the Add Printer > IP pane. A printer will only be seen if it supports a broadcasting protocol like Bonjour and if it does it will appear in the Add Printer > Default pane.
So working on why the Mac cannot ping the printer, the most likely is the Mac is set to a different subnet to the printer. If you make a note of the IP address used by the Mac, the PC and the printer, they should all be set to the same IP subnet. For a home network this is typically the first three sets of numbers in the IP address. The last number is known as the network address, and each device must have a different network address.
So if the PC and printer have an IP address of 192.168.1.x, where x is the individual network address for each device, then the Mac must also be set to 192.168.1.x.
The other thing to check is the Gateway / Router address. This will be the IP address of the Linksys router and this should also be set in the Network settings on the Mac.
If the Mac is correctly set then are you able to ping the Linksys router or the PC?

Setup Assistant can't see networked printer on Mac OS X

Hello...
Wasn't sure whether to put this in the networking forum or the setup one cos it's a bit of both, ah well, hope it doesn't matter!
I have a HP Photosmart C6380 which I've successfully installed on a Win XP laptop, with the printer plugged in to the router (seemed pointless to use wireless when it's sitting right next to it...) and the laptop connected via wireless. This works fine.
I also have a Mac (iBook G4 OS X 10.4.11 Tiger) which uses the same router, no real network as such though. The printer software has installed fine but when running the Setup Assistant there's no printer listed. Tried doing it with the IP address but doesn't work.
If I check "My device is not listed" then I can choose "Photosmart C6300 series" and then have to select "Network" or "Wireless Network". Not sure which is correct seeing as it's both (Mac-router is wireless, router-printer is wired). Regardless, whichever I choose I then get another page asking me to select my device, and there it says "if it ain't here, it ain't supported".
Sorry if that was a bit long-winded
Can someone help me get it working?

Or to put it (hopefully) simpler:
I can't find my Photosmart C380 over a network. My configuration is the printer plugged in to the router directly (ethernet) and the computer (OS X Tiger) connected via wireless. The printer software installed fine but it can't find the printer on the network, even if I try the IP address directly. It says check the HP website for new software but there isn't anything for OS X.
What can I try next?

Can not see wireless TM in disk utility or desktop.

Am I running a TM Airport (router) it runs great, I love everything about it and the backups have no issues.
But I wanted to partition my 500mb drive on my TM yet for some reason I can not see the drive either on my desktop or in disk utility. Is there some setting I need to change somewhere else to be able to view this wireless drive and configure it? I looked via Airport Utility and the only option there is to archive or erase it, at least that can see it.
When the backup starts I do see a mounted drive show up.
Any ideas?

It does not show up because when I am not backing up, it gets disconnected...
