Cannot print over Airport using Tiger

I run a Airport wlan where originally two Macs (an eMac and a PowerBook) were running OS X 10.3.9 and printing over wlan to Epson Stylus CX6400 worked fine. I installed 10.4.4 to Power Book and printing works no more: the printe queue is stopped. You can start it but it stops again in two seconds. Printing by using direct USB connection works ok. Also printing from the eMac using 10.3.9 over wlan works ok. No Airport update has helped. Does anybody have the same problem or have suggestions on what to do?
PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I answear to my own question:
I removed the printer and reinstalled it and now it works ok.
Try this if you have printer problems with 10.4.4.

Tiger on iNtel iMac "Printing" over Airport to HP 2100M

Nice new iNtel iMac 2GHz running Airport Extreme can't print via Airport to a networked HP 2100M. The HP has an EIO card and it's connected to the LAN by that cable.
I have an old iMac that's hardwired to an ethernet hub that's being driven by the AEB and the HP 2100M is also connected to that hub.
The old iMac sees the printer and prints just fine.
The new Intel iMac doesn't see the HP over Appletalk and I'm not able to figure out how to setup the new iMac to print via Airport using the IP address of the HP printer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here's a 30,000 ft level view of my LAN:
Internet Cloud =>Comcast Cable ISP =>Cable Router
AEB =>Linksys Ethernet Hub
•iMac 350MHz (don't laugh. She's still a beauty) OSX 10.2.8
•HP 2100M with Network EIO card
iNtel iMac (sees the Internet just fine via AEB, but can't see the printer for patootie!)
iNtel iMac 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) HP 2100M with EIO network card, AEB LAN,

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I power cycled the cable modem, AEB, router hub, and the printer and the iMac still can't "see" the printer.
I've looked at the Airport discussions and this problem is a larger issue than the iNtel iMacs. It sounds like it's probably an AEB issue.
I'm running the latest firmware to no avail. It almost sounds to me in the Apple literature that they only support USB printing through Airport. This would be a serious blunder as the business world relies more on networked server based laserwriters than USB dot matrix printers.

I fixed this problem. I had to turn off the browser virtualization feature in Zone Alarm Extreme Security. This wiped out all of the Firefox settings, but I had bookmarks, etc. backed up. (answered by original poster)

HP Deskjet 1000 Printer - J110a cannot print in color using WIndows 8

J110a cannot print in color using WIndows 8. The printer will only print in black and white even though it works fine on a PC with Windows 7. I installed the latest drivers from the HP web-site.

Hey @KC1964,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since installing your HP Deskjet 1000 Printer on your Windows 8 computer you have not been able to print in colour. Because you are able to print fine from a Windows 7 computer we know that this issue is not being caused by your printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. I'm thinking that your machine is either experiencing a driver conflict or a setting issue within the Windows 8 computer. Please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Check Settings:
Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
Once the Start screen opens type Devices and Printers
Click on Devices and Printers
In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your HP Deskjet
Select Printing Preferences
In the Preferences window select the Advanced button on the bottom right
Look for the Greyscale or Print Black Only and make sure they are disabled
If all settings are correct, yet the issue persists, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Try Alternate Driver:
To confirm if this issue is specific to the Deskjet 1000 driver I am going to have you load an alternate driver on your machine.
Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
Once the Start screen opens type Devices and Printers
In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your Deskjet 1000 and left click on Printer Properties
Left click on the Advanced tab
Left click on New Driver
When the New Driver window opens just hit 'next' until you see a list of Manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
Select HP as the Manufacturer on the left
Select Deskjet 9800 as the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 doesn't appear than select 'Windows Update' on the bottom left and once the update completes you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit next to complete the New Driver Wizard
Under the Printer Properties window select 'Apply' but don't hit OK
Select the General tab
Rename your printer back to HP Deskjet 1000
Hit OK
Lastly, right click on your Deskjet 1000 one more time and left click on Printing Preferences
Left click on the Paper/Quality tab
Left click on the 'Normal' dropdown for Print Quality on the bottom right and change this to Fast Normal
Click Apply and OK
Now that the new driver is added in, please test printing in colour again.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Cannot print anything when using safari

Cannot print anything when using safari. OSX is Mavericks. Printer is Canon MP620. Have downloaded Mavericks software for printer, but still will not print. I have also repaired the disk hoping that would solve the problem, but to no avail. Can anyone help me please?

Hey ivorfromborehamwood,

Appletalk laserwriter won't print over airport wireless. please help.

i have an old apple personal laserwriter 320 which prints plug and play to my G5 (10.4.4) connecting ethernet (appletalk on) with asantetalk adapter. no problems at all.
i like to share this printer wirelessly by connecting it an airport express base station.
i cannot get my network of powerbook and G5 (all 10.4.4) to print to it, they cannot see it.
1. can it be used wirelessly with the airport express base station?
2. what about airport extreme base station?
3.i turned on appletalk in airport under network settings. how about under airport admin utilities?
i must be setting the network configurations wrong, or is it appletalk or the asantetalk ethernet adapter?
can someone please help me through this setup?

Well, I use an HP-6MP with an AsanteTalk hooked to an Airport Extreme Base Station and I use Tiger 10.4.4 and everything works fine. My wife's dual USB iBook, circa 2001, with an internal airport card, uses the HP printer with no problems. The same setup works with OS 9 too.
I also have an Airport Express hooked up to my livingroom stereo that I use with both iTunes and AirFoil. I've never tried using the Airport Express with the AsanteTalk, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't work since it works with the AEBS.
The startup routine is touchy, the printer has to be allowed to fully complete its warmup cycle before powering up the AsanteTalk. Try disconnecting the power to the AsanteTalk for about 10 seconds while everything else is hooked and powered up, then reconnect the power, the lights should flash on the AsanteTalk, then open the Printer Setup Utility, wait about 10 seconds and the printer should then appear, if it isn't there already. When we have power outages from say thunderstorms, I often have to recycle the AsanteTalk's power because when the power comes back on, it completes it startup cycle before the HP does and printer setting disappears.
It's not a matter of adding AppleTalk to the AEBS or Airport Express. There are no options for that. The settings are only in the computer network/airport settings. Both of your computers need to be configured to have AppleTalk active under the Airport network settings.
And as mentioned before, don't use the yellow ethernet cord.

Need guru assistance printing over airport to unsupported printer

OK. I have an HP 3650 attached to an Airport Express. In my home wireless network (powered by Buffalo router) there are several windows machines and one mac mini, all connecting over 802.11g.
I cannot print to this printer using the Mac mini, and I guess that makes sense, it's not supported. But I configured the Airport using the mac, and I can print to that printer wirelessly using my windows machines.
In fact, technically, I can even print from the Mac mini - when I'm printing from Windows XP home in a Parallels session. So it drives me nuts nuts NUTS that I can't print natively from OS X, even using direct IP printing and CUPS drivers and whatnot.
Anybody out there got the elite skills to get this thing working? I just can't bring myself to buy a new printer just because "the world's most advanced operating system" can only print to it when running Microsoft software.
tl;dr - how can I hack my OSX to print natively to my HP 3650 over airport express?
Thanks in advance
-Kurt

Have you downloaded the latest drivers from HP? It's a Deskjet correct? There are OSX drivers on HP's support page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&produc t=304535&lang=en

Brother dcp 9040 cn not printing over airport wifi

i am unsure if this is a 10.6.3 upgrade issue
i have a brother dcp 9040 cn which i have been using for the past year very happily over the wifi airport network.
it has stopped printing over the wifi
it works fine with the usb connection
it appears fine with bonjour & selects ok except when i print over the wifi it tries to connect but never does and then always pauses.
i have upgraded the firmware on the printer from the brother site and have loaded the latest drivers from brother for osx
has anyone got any suggestions?
thanks

10.6.3 came with the latest drivers for your printer.
Try resetting the printing system.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
Don't install any print software.
See if your Mac sees that printer.
If so, select it and see if you can print.

Cannot print via AirPort Express

I bought Airport Express a few days ago and have connected the ethernet cable and have wi-fi running. However I cannot print wirelessly (the printer is connected to AirPort Express via USB) and everytime I try it fails to locate the printer. This is because the settings are old (I used to hav my iMac as a base station but now the printer is not connected to the iMac and is now connected to AirPort Express). Could somebody tell me how I can fix this problem.
Thank you in advance

Thomas I did find this on HP's Web site. But beside this you may want to look for other (GIMP printer drivers that may accomodate the wireless compatibility).. HP does state:
Is my All-in-One product supported via the Rendezvous/Bonjour protocol?
NOTE: Bonjour is the new protocol for Mac OS X v10.4.
ANSWER:
HP does not offer support for any All-in-One product via Rendezvous/Bonjour, however some products might work when plugged into an Airport Basestation via USB. These products might work with the print functionality only. See the list below for such products.

Cannot print through Airport after 7.3.1 update

Before the 7.3.1 update, I had no problems printing from a PC to my Epson printer connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme n. After the update, I cannot print at all.
The Epson is seen in the Airport Utility.
I can install the printer using Bonjour or through the Windows setup method (previously described). The printer appears in the Windows Printers and Faxes and shows a ready status. When I try to print a test page, I get a communication error and no printing.
I have un-installed and re-installed but nothing works. I have deleter all TCP/IP ports from the printer ports section to eliminate the possibility of duplicate ports possibly causing a problem. I have restarted the entire system and then re-installed the printer using Bonjour. Same result. Printer appears showing a ready status but I still get a communication error.
Has anyone been able to overcome this problem? Does Apple make the previous firmware available for re-flashing?
Thanks

Well, the downgrade to 7.2.1 did not seem to work. There is a communication problem somewhere.
My MacBook Pro will print normally (before and after the upgrade). Bonjour for Windows does see the Epson printer and it appears to install it normally. If the printer is disconnected, Bonjour does not see it. So Bonjour is seeing the printer.
After the printer installs on the WinXP machine (connected directly through the ethernet port on the airport extreme n) is shows ready. However, if the printer is disconnected from the airport, winxp still shows ready.
It seems that Bonjour properly sees the printer, but is not setting up the TCP/IP correctly. I have tried ports 9100, 9101 and 9202 for manual adjustments All to no avail.
I have tried manually seeing it up using the Epson drivers and generic postscript drivers. Neither configuration works. Connecting the Epson printer directly to the winxp machine works fine. And again, it worked prior to the update.
What the heck did Apple do? And has anyone with a similar problem fixed it? I really don't want to go back to a separate print server. But I need something reliable and Airport Extreme apparently is not it. At least this version of he firmware.

Thank you

Hello Ermagherd, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having issues with your print drivers. I would like to help.
Are you connected USB or wireless?
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 Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Driver.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Cannot print from firefox using windows 7 x64 pro

I cannot print using Firefox 3.6.3. I have a canon mx340 printer and am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I can print from files, email (Outlook), IE and everything else. I downloaded newest print drivers. I reset printer in Firefox using "about:config" That fixes it temporary, but after a little bit of time it stops printing again.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I fixed this problem. I had to turn off the browser virtualization feature in Zone Alarm Extreme Security. This wiped out all of the Firefox settings, but I had bookmarks, etc. backed up. (answered by original poster)

1 out of 2 computers cannot Print via Airport Extreme

I have an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 connected to the USB connector on my Airport Extreme. I have 2 MacBook Pro Computers connected wireless to the Airport Extreme.
On one of thes computers I have no problem printing over the network on the Epson Printer.
On the other computer, when I want to print a document and click on file/Print, I get the usual dialog box and when I click on print, a fleeting popup is on my screen and nothing prints. The printer queu is empty and it says printer ready. When I plug the printer directly into the USB connector on the computer, it prints fine.
Apple support suggested that I make sure I have the latest printer driver, which I downloaded - no change.
I also reswtored the hardware preferences by booting up while holding down CMDoption+RP - no change.
Has anyone had a similar experience and what was the solution.

Did you actually install that driver and create a new printer entry in System Preferences?
This may not fix your problem, but try resetting the printing system: Open the Print & Fax panel of System Preferences, control-click (right-click) on the printer, and select the that entry from the contextual menu.

Haelp! cannot print over wireless connection

I just set up a wireless network in our house, with a 2Wire 1701HG gateway (wifi plus ethernet.). I have a Brother neworkable laser printer, connected to the wireless router via an ethernet cable.
When I have my iBook also conected by ethernet cable, I can print, no problem. But when I am connected by wireless, when I try to print it always says "AppleTalk inactive," even though when I go to the the Network Preference panel it says it is active!
The long and the short of it is I cannot print via wireless connection. What do I need to do to remedy this situation?
Thank you!!!!

This snippet is from the Tiger printing help area. I had similar difficulties and it worked for me:
Delete and recreate the printer queue
1. Open Printer Setup Utility (10.3) or Print Center (10.2).
2. Delete any queues for the printer model you have.
3. Add a new queue, and choose Bonjour (formerly "Rendezvous"). It should locate and show the printer attached to the base station.
Good luck!

Cannot print over wifi but only via ethernet

Hello,
i have c4780 hp printer, i have installed it on laptop via ethernet. All works fine.
If i unplugg network cable on laptop and use only wireless to connect on my network, the printer cannot print.
I have a dlink 2740b wireless router.
there are particular setting to insert in router configuration?
i have try to install on other pc via wifi but result is the same.
just i plug the network cable the printer work immedialtly..
Why?
Thanks
Giulio

I am confused. Is the printer connected to your router via ethernet or you computer via ethernet? If to the router, how was it initially connected (wired or wireless) when you set it up?
What operating system(s) are you using?
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
