Hi flalady,
Thank you for your response!
What happened when you tried the guide I had posted?
Do you see any error messages on the printer's display screen?
Are you able to print a test page? Video: Printing a Test Page - HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer.
In the meantime, please try the guide I had posted earlier, as well as the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you soon!

I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it? I have no trouble printing from my computer.

I rebooted my Airport Extreme.
Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.

Can't print from Mac to Windows printer

I have a wireless network of 3 computers and a printer. One is a desktop running XP with the printer attached. The other is a laptop with XP. And the last is a MacBook with 10.4.11.
I can print from both computers running XP but I can't print from the Mac. The Mac sees the printer and I can add it and try to print from it. When I try to print I get the error message:
NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY
I later get the "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds" message too.

Be sure the printer name assigned in Windows is not more than 11 alphanumeric characters. Long names with punctuation and the like are known to cause problems.

Tutorial: Resolving common printer problems
Mac OS X offers a robust printing system with built-in support for hundreds of devices from a wide body of manufacturers. It's not without flaws, however, and printers often become unrecognized or non-functional after a significant Mac OS X update. Printers connected through hubs or AirPort base stations can also exhibit some frustrating issues.
Below is a run-down of the most generally successful printer workarounds. Keep trying until one of them sticks.
Use Printer Setup Repair This tool lets you verify properties of the root user, the Printing Services (lp) user, and Print Operators (lp) groups, reset the printing system, perform CUPS maintenance and more. Run through its set of maintenance tasks before delving into further printer troubleshooting. See how to use it in this article.
Re-install CUPS If you are experiencing printer issues after applying an incremental Mac OS X update, problems may have occurred with your CUPS installation during the update process.
The file is available from this Web site: http://www.cups.org/software.php, and is labeled cups-1.2.1.dmg
Delete then re-add printers/Reset printing system Open Printer Setup Utility, located in Applications/Utilities and look at the "Printer List" Highlight and delete all entries.
Alternatively, go to the "Printer Setup Utility" menu at the top of the screen and select "Reset Printing System".
Click the "Add" button and re-add your printer(s).
Gutenprint and usbtb Some users have been able to resolve printer communication issues by installing the excellent open-source Epson printer drivers available as part of the Gutenprint package (formerly known as Gimp-print) and usbtb, a CUPS back-end for USB printing.
Remove non-required drivers Removing extraneous drivers from /Library/Printers(name of manufacturer) can sometimes resolve printer issues. Remove files that are for other models than your own.
Re-install drivers Re-installation of printer drivers from original media or from a Web download (either directly through the manufacturers site or via a search by model/manufacturer on VersionTracker) can resolve some printer issues.
Try disconnecting from network In some cases, LAN-connected printer, seemingly broken by the Mac OS X update can restored to normal operation by simply disconnecting the device from the network then re-connecting it.
"Communicator Error" -- try power cycling If you receive a "Communication Error" message when attempting to print after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.5, the first workaround you should try is power cycling the printer, as well as disconnecting then re-connecting it to the Mac.
Connecting directly to the Mac If you are having printer problems and are using an external USB hub, try connecting the printer directly to your Mac.
One reader who had success with this method writes:
"Unfortunately the update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 has eliminated the ability to use my Lexmark Z600 series USB printer on my iMac G5 20" iSight (rev C).
"I resolved the problem via the following: I unplugged my external USB hub and plugged the printer directly to my computer."
Disconnect from AirPort and reset For those who are using printers connected to an AirPort Express, Extreme or another wireless device with USB connections, you might want to try the following:
Disconnect the printer from the AirPort unit (or other router)
Wait a few minutes
Plug it back in
Restart the base station unit
Check for your printer to appear in AirPort Admin Utility (located in Applications/Utilities)
Print one copy In some cases, using print one copy instead of the standard print command can result in elimination of crashes that occur during printing.
Try IP printing instead of AppleTalk Some Macs are unable to see AppleTalk printers that are located on the local AirPort (or other wireless) network. Several users have been able to workaround this issue by using IP printing instead of AppleTalk.
Last resort -- Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing the somewhat tedious Archive and Install process, then re-upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.7. This has solved some otherwise inexplicable printer issues for MacFixIt readers.

Print from Mac to Windows printer

Hi, I've got a Time Capsule that's hooked up to my Mac Pro. I have 2 windows computers upstairs that are wireless. I recently hooked up an Epson Stylus CX7400 printer to my computer upstairs which is running Windows Vista. I can print perfectly from the Windows Vista computer but I have no clue how to print from my Mac. I also want to print from my other windows computer which is running Windows XP. Any help is greatly appreciated.

For this to work at all you must turn on printer sharing on the Windows machine to which the printer is physically connected. Since this is a Windows issue you will need to find Windows help with it. Perhaps you could post a query in the Windows forum here or at the MS forums.
Once the printer is shared you should be able to locate the printer in the Print & Fax preferences to Add it for OS X. You will need a proper OS X compatible driver for the printer.
You can locate additional help by selecting Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and searching with appropriate keywords.

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer. How can I make it find the HP printer?

uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded@

For starters, what exactly do you mean by "cannot print"?
Are you getting an error message? Are you trying to print from within Reader or are you opening these in the browser? What version of Reader. Even though it's a new printer, the drivers that came with it (or the ones that were already on your computer) may be old so, have you downloaded the most recent drivers from the Brother site?

There is no paper jam?

I am having trouble printing from my computer. The printer keeps giving me an error message.

I have an hp officejet 6500A printer, i am having trouble printing from my computer which is an hp windows 7 64-bit to my computer. I keep recieving an error message on the printer stating that the paper size or type does not match. What do I need to do to get my computer to print to my printer?

Hi - A couple of things to try. First, in whatever app you're in, go into File, Print and Printer Properties and set the paper size appropriately. After that, go into Page Setup in whatever app you're in and set the appropriate size in there as well. In many cases, this problem is caused by different sizes being set within the printer driver and the app. If that doesn't work, go back into Printer Properties and try choosing a different paper type (Plain Paper). I've also had that resolve the problem before.
Hope that helps.

Take laptop & printer to client, need to print from client computer using my printer

I nstalled my HP Laserjet 1102w to my laptop with my ips address to work wireless.
I take my laptop & printer to client's location and need to print from their computers using my HP Laserjet 1102w.
I network in to their ips address using my laptop to.
Could not install my HP Laserjet 1102w on their computer & print from their computer.
How do i print from my HP Laserjet 1102w using their computers at their location?
Thanks!

Hi debitacct ,
Thanks for clarifying that information.
You would have to restore the printer's defaults and reset up the printer on their network at the new location every time, to be able to print from the clients computer and you would have to connect to their network on your computer and add the printer back in again with the new IPv4 address.
Another way you could do this is through a USB connection or use the Wireless Direct.
You would have to enable the Wireless Direct on the printer through the printer's Embedded Web Server if you didn't select this feature during the installation. This will allow both computers to connect directly to the printer and print, but keep in mind you won't have internet access at the same time. So you can print when connected to the printer's network or connect back to the main network again to access the internet.
Here are the steps for enabling the Wireless Direct through the printer's Embedded Web Server if you decide to go this route. Print a configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address. Printing a Configuration Page.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
Then click on the Networking tab, select Wireless Direct Setup on the left side and check the Enable wireless direct printing.
I hope I explained that alright for you. The USB connection would most likely be the easiest way to go.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

New HP envy 5530 won't print from my computer

I just installed my HP envy 5530 through a wireless connection. It will not print anything from my computer. It shows it is printing but then the printer doesn't do anything. I can print from my andriod phone though. I have tried using the HP print and scan doctor. It says everything is fine. When I try to print a test page it doens't do anything- it will print an internal test page though. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software (I also removed all old HP software)- that didn't help. I also tried turning off my firewalls- also didn't help. Not sure what else to do.
I have windows 8.1 and an acer computer. I have had wireless printers before (HP) and never had a problem.
Thanks for your help.

Hi usmc_roque,
Thank you for your reply.
I would suggest the following:
- Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
- Remove USB cable.
- Reboot PC.
- Download and re-install the software. HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers . click the next button next to the Operating System type. (Make sure to choose Windows XP), scroll down, and click on Driver - Product Installation Software (1), then click on the blue download button next to HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers to download the driver.
Try this as the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows, is only compatible with Windows 7, and up to Windows 8.1.
Hi dwneylonsr,
Thank you for your response.
I would suggest to power off the PC, then the printer. Unplug the power to your router for 30 seconds, plug the router back in. Then turn back on the printer, then the PC. After that try to Uninstall the Printer Software, and re-install again. HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this information helps, and have a good day.

Printer will not copy but will print from the computer

Hp Photosmart D110 all in one printer--I am totally disgusted with this printer...have had it a few months. It will only get about 160 economy pages per ink cartridge which is ridiculous. So we bought an ink refill kit and just refilled and reinstalled the black ink cartridge. it is printing from the computer just fine but the printer WILL NOT COPY. When I use the tool box and check ink levels it just shows question marks on both ink cartridges.
I spent 45 minutes on HP Chat Support and got no answers except that I need to use genuine HP Cartridges. They could not explain to me why the printer would print but not copy with refilled cartridge.
Any help from any of you regarding the NOT copying and the ink cartridges.....thanks so much

Did you ever get it to copy? I have the same problem

Printer won't print from one computer in network

We have a family network and for some reason on of the computers no longer can print. The printer is a photosmart c7280 all-in-one. I uninstalled the printer and driver and then downloaded a new driver and installed it to the computer. The computer's network recognized the printer but nothing that is sent to the printer prints and i just get an error message but no reason why. The printer is physically connected to a x-p computer and the computer in question is running Vista. However, that shouldn't be a problem because this computer used to be able to print. I just don't know what to check to make sure nothing has been turned on or turned off on the computer so that the printer doesn't recognize this printer any longer.
Before i downloaded the new driver, i deleted the old one and now I have just discovered that after i reinstalled the driver, there is not printer listed in the windows device manager. The printer does show up in my network area tho and in the printer folder. i have no idea what's going on.

Is the XP computer connected to the C7280 via USB?
How is the C7280 connected to the home network?
How is the Vista computer connected to the home network? Can you open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address?

HP 2050 deskjet all in one -- will scan but won't print from this computer

My deskjet 2050 will scan from both of my macbook computers, but will only print from one. It gives an "on hold" message whenever I print from this computer. Then I hit "resume" and it says "nothing is being held." I have already downloaded and re-installed the driver, and it didn't make any difference.
It prints fine from the other computer, but it's a pain to have that limitation.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello @CazzoInMano , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help with that!
What version of mac are you using?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Printing from the main window -- song order is not the same as playlist ??

iTunes 10.0.1 (22)
OS 10.6.4
Let's say you have a album with 18 songs. The songs are in the exact order of the album, from 1 of 18 all the way to 18 of 18. (track numbers are also correct, in order). You view by album (constrain the results window by searching for album title)
Now, print. Select any option, (I tried both cd jewel as well as song listing -- doesn't matter which you select).
The ORDER of the printed song list (or jewel case insert) DOES NOT MATCH the order of the songs in the album.
What good is that?
I can recreate this with various albums.
This NEVER happened before version 10.
Anyone have any info on this?
PS -- if you create a PLAYLIST and then copy the album into the playlist, it prints just fine. The issue is printing from the main window when in album view mode.
Thanks,
J
