Cannot print via network / HP 8000DN Printer

I have been racking my mind and searching support forums all over the web. I cannot print via my HP Laserjet 8000DN. I print over the network and do not have any way to connect it directly to my iMac. Everything worked fine with Tiger and when I did the upgrade I didn't think it was a big deal thinking I should have done a clean install anyways. After a clean install I had the same problem. Under the supported printer page for 10.5 it lists my printer however I cannot get it to install under the 2 listed drivers and also with the older drivers downloaded from HP. Please help. I print often and am just about to give up on 10.5 until 10.5.1 comes out. It's a $4000 printer and I am not going to buy a new one based on a driver issue.
Thanks in advance to all that help!!

CUPS - printer via network /printserver

Hi there,
I have got some problems with a printer via network.
Situation:
Me - Arch (updated)
The Printer is connected with a printserver (Canyon) - this one is normaly conected with our LAN and is run by our Server (Windows 2000).
Normally (which also worked with Ubuntu) I have to install the printer via the Window2000-PC.
This I did with the gnome-cups-manager (the whole process with the ppd-files and so on)....
Now the problems: I can't print: All the time, when I want to print a test-page, the printer is stopped - the job, too!
I saw the part in the wiki (deleting the printer and adding it again) but it doesn't work!
Next problem is, that I'm just able to print or configure the printer as root,
what can I do?
If you need more information, you'll get them
Thanks
Martin

With network printers the better way, at least in my opinion, is to use the printer's IP address and use that to communicate with it. I tend to add it to my /etc/hosts and that gives me a simple way to "talk" to the printer accurately.
Hope this helps.

Hi When going from Develop module to print module a white boarder appears on screen which also prints via my epson r3000 printer. I can get round this by exporting photo to Elements and printing from there but can i get rid of the boarder and print from lightroom?

In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.

Cannot print via network to Canon imagerunner color 2620

I've installed the drivers/softwre, added the printer.
But when I try to print:
1) Print job starts
2) Print job shows completed
3) Nothing comes out of the printer!
(print job is done via ethernet/wireless network)
Please help
Printer model: Canon ImageRunner Color 2620 (in the US), aka iRC2600N (in China)

Hi William,
Thanks for the reply. Okay, let's assume it is a Canon board. Therefore I recommend you perform the following steps.
1. Ensure you are using the Canon PS Driver v1.60. This was the first version of a Universal driver to include support for Intel Mac's. You can download it from the Canon Australia web site (http://www.canon.com.au/products/business/multifunctionals/multifunctionaldigital_devices/iRC2620drivers.aspx).
2. Open the Printer Setup Utility and click on the title menu. Click on Reset Printing System. This will delete the Canon driver from your system. To be sure, open Library > Printers > Canon. The driver resides in a folder called PS. If you see it, delete it and empty the trash. Then restart the Mac.
3. Once the Mac has restarted you can run the installer for the v1.60 driver. You will have to reboot again once the installation is complete. With the Mac back on, open the Printer Setup Utility. Click Add and then click More Printers. Select 'Canon IP (PS)' and then enter the IP address of the iR C2620 and a queue name of LP. Click Add. The driver queries the printer, selects the appropriate ppd and configures the cassette and finisher setup.
4. With the printer now residing in the printer list, open TextEdit and write a few lines of text. Click File > Page Setup and ensure that A4 is selected. Then select Print and click Copies & Pages. Select Special Features from the menu. You will see an image of the copier and the Job Accounting tab. Because the driver queries the printer, if Job Accounting is enabled, the driver will reflect this. So you will have to select the Job Accounting tab and enter a valid ID and password. Now make sure this ID has enough prints remaining. If you are using an ID that doesn't have any remaining prints, the job will be deleted once it arrives at the copier. The other things to watch out for is the value for colour and b&w. With the cost of colour printing, some admins set the colour value quite low (or zero) meaning that if your document does have any colour it will be deleted by the copier once the colour print limit is reached.
5. With the ID and password set ( if needed) print the document. If it prints then open a different application and see if you can print from it. If it doesn't print, then please post back here the last 10 entries from the cups error log. This can be found via the Console application or the System Profiler.

LaserJet P2055DN - will not print via network

Set up the printer last night as a network printer (replacing an older LJ 2300dn). It would not print a test page. To verify that the printer was good, I loaded the drivers into my laptop and connected via usb. Was able to print a test page via usb. Disconnected usb and reconnected network cable. Released and reset ip address. Verified ip address by pinging from host. When I ping the printer I loose usually half of the packets. There are two other HP printers on the network, a P2015dn and a LJ color 2605dn. Pinging their ip address returns 100% with a ttl=255. Pinging the p2055 produced 4 packets sent, 2 packets received, 2 packets lost, ttl=64 on the 2 returns. I have changed cables to the printer and interchanged ports on the network switch (verified the ports on the network switch by printing to the LJ 2605) with the same result. I cannot get the internal web server to come up, or it partially displays, or combinations of the above. If this had the older style removable print server like in my lj2300, I could swap it out, but it doesn't look like I can do that with this model. When I send a test page to the printer, it displays "printing", the green light on the top is flashing, the activity light on the network card is flashing, but nothing happens. Eventually, I get a "this document failed to print' notification on the host, but the printer still indicates "printing" and the lights are still flashing. Anyone have any ideas? I think I'm looking at a bad network/print server card in the P2055.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I also had problems printing via the network to hp p2055dn. There was no problem printing via USB. All network settings were ok. Can ping, etc...
Many days of wrangling, finally found that the Network Config.Security had to be Reset on the printer's physical control panel.
Press Ok on the printer control panel --> press down arrow, you get to Setup Menu Network Config --> press Ok --> A number of down arrows down you get to Network Config. Security --> press Ok --> you have two options - Keep or Reset --> Choose Reset........ Network printing should be working fine.

HP LaserJet P2015 not printing via network

Hi,
looking for help.
I cannot print via the network on HP LaserJet P2015. It works via USB. When I try to add the printer it is identificable by Bonjour (Nearest Printers). It tries to configure the printer and appears as being active (green dot) but when try to print it says Connecting to Printer but then reports an error message of The printer is not responding.
Any ideas on how can fix ? Thanks in advance !

You can connect to Bonjour printers in Mac OS X, just select the Printer in the Print & Fax preference pane as usual and click on Add

Fax via Network Multi-Function Printer

I own a HP Multi-Function device to print, scan, fax, etc. My home network is set up to PRINT wirelessly from my computer to my printer, but for some reason I am unable to FAX wirelessly. As of now I must first print the document then fax it manually, when I'd much rather skip the middle steps of printing and just fax it directly using my network. The only way I can send a fax from my computer is bypass my wireless network and plug directly into the HP printer via USB. I think if I can print wirelessly why can't I fax wirelessly too? Any suggestions?

HP All-In-One Printer/Scanner/Fax plugged into a phone line

TC (and airport extreme) peripheral support falls into universal (ethernet) and special (usb).
Anything that can be connected to the ethernet port will be translated through the wireless system and work just well (or not well) as it would if connected via ethernet. Devices plugged into the USB port (directly or through a hub) require special support by Apple. Apple writes drivers for these and adds a tab to the airport utility software. This used to be just printers. Currently, this is limited to printers and hard drives. MFCs go beyond the simple printing function Apple is trying to support via USB.
In my case, I have a Brother 7820n MFC. Its designed to operate over ethernet. Plugged into the TC, this means printing, scanning, and faxing (right out the phone jack) wirelessly - from every computer in the house.
Does your MFC offer an ethernet upgrade?

Pages will not print via network printer

I have purchased and installe Pages and Numbers and neither one will print to my network printer. I have been using my DeskJet 970 on my network without trouble.
I can print from other apps installed on my iPad via this same printer.
In support of printing I have purchased Print-N-Share as well as PrintCentral Pro. I have also install wePrint on my desktop.
When I open Pages and attempt to print I am asked to select a printer. The message that comes up is that no Airprint printers were found. It totally ignores my wePrint server app which connects Print-N-Share and PrintCentral Pro.
I have already requested a reinstatement to my account for $9.99 which Apple has thus far ignored.
Has anyone experience this or found a solution to this problem.

Hi All printers are different. I suggest you contact the printer manufacture. Do you have the installation disc that came with the printer?? Try installing the printer on all computers that do not work?? Also unplug the printer for 20 seconds. Some times I have to unplug my HP to get it to work wireless. It's kind a like rebooting your PC
Dokie!!

Printing via Network USB print server suddenly not working any more

I have always been able to print with my USB
printers connected through a small, pocket-sized Keyspan USB Print server, Model US-4A, very easily and seamlessly, - until the very latest update to Snow Leopard.
This server is connected to my router and the rest of my in-home Mac network by means of an ethernet port, and it has four USB device ports, 1 each for my various printers and a flatbed scanner. It worked well under OS 10.6 until just now.
Now, all of a sudden, though the server hardware can still easily "see" and connect to
the printers, when I actually hit 'PRINT', then the Mac OS
print dialogues are showing some of the printers as "offline." They show up as 'unavailable' in the dialogue where you choose which printer to print to and the print dialogue boxes show the print jobs cused but then report - 'printer offline'
When I bypass the print server - and connect the same
printers directly to the Mac's USB ports, they print fine.
It suits my setup to be able to continue printing via the print server, however, and I am wondering what sort of new issue could now begin fooling the MAC OS into thinking printers are not connected when it has had no trouble with the same print server and exactly the same physical connections previously ?
I've already tried 'deleting' and uninstalling the printers and then reinstalling, and this attempted fix does not work.
Any suggestions here ? Is this a known issue with 10.6.3 ?
What has happened to suddenly bring this about ? Any ideas ?

It appears that 10.6.4 has essentially broken the US-4A usb server. Keyspan's (now Tripp-Lite) response is that the latest driver is for 10.5.x and Snow-Leopard is still not supported. (1 year after 10.6.0 was released to the public). In fact, their response is that they do not even know if they will continue to produce the US-4A. Note that the U2S-2A (2 port USB 2.0) server does not support 10.6 either. Shame on Tripp-Lite for continuing to advertise, and sell a product that does not work with the current version of OS X.

Can't print via network to Ricoh Aficio MP 171

Hi, I have a MackBook Pro with OS X 10.9.2 and I'm trying to print on a corporate printer/copier Ricoh Aficio MP 171 through the network, without success so far.
Actually any Mac on my work are not able to print on any of the three Ricoh MP 171 we have here.
Btw, I had this issue on OS 10.9.1, but upgrading to 10.9.2 did not fix it.
The printers doesn't have the PostScript option installed, so I installed the packages below to use CUPS:
- pxlmono 1.9
- Foomatic-RIP 4.0.6
- Ghostscript 8.71
- CUPS 1.7.1 (with 10.9.2 upgrade)
The printer supports almost all forms of connections: Bonjour, IPP, HTTP, Socket, LPD, etc.
Depeding the connection method I try to use, the behaviour is different, but in common with all ways is the following errors on system log:
05/05/14 10:37:53,468 cups-exec[1038]: sandbox cache error 3850
05/05/14 10:37:53,619 cups-exec[1039]: sandbox cache error 11: database disk image is malformed
05/05/14 09:27:37,671 cups-exec[2747]: sandbox cache error 1: no such table: main.imports
Those errors doesn't appear every time I try to print, usually they appear not in this order on the fisrt time I send something to print after reboot.
The "no such table" error sometime appears with a different table, like "profiles" and others I didn't catch.
The error below is logged every time I print:
05/05/14 17:14:45,441 aficiomp171_CUPS_SOCKET_PMO[3120]: The function `CGContextErase' is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.
I have to add the printer through CUPS, as this is the only way to select the properly PPD file for the MP 171 (from the Foomatic driver package).
I need to use a PPD file so I can set a custom User Code. If I add the printer through the System Preferences, I can't type a User Code.
The error below appears on cups error_log according the connection method:
HTTP: job remains in the queue, error "Unable to get printer status" in log and Printer Spool dialog.
Socket and LPD: job disappears from the queue, no error is logged but nothing is printed.

Continuing...
Winddows (smb) and IPP: job is paused and remains on the queue, error "The printer configuration is incorrect or the printer no longer exists" is logged on cups error_log.
What I have already tried, without success:
- reseting print system, several times, no change.
- upgrading to OS X 10.9.2 (as said before) didn't help.
- update CUPS to 1.7.2 by compiling and installing from the source code: that messed up everything else, as it installs libcups.2.dylib 64 bit only, which causes every other 32 bit app, like Chrome and MS Office to crash on start up... reinstalling the 10.9.2 update fixed this issue.
If a try to print using the PPD from Ricoh site, the job is sent without errors, but on the job history on printer web page (Ricoh WIM) is logged as "Acess Restritcted" status.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Print from Windows desktop via network, when the printer was first set up on a Mac

My new printer works fine from my Mac mini. It is set up on my local network through a BT hub router, wirelessly, Bonjour enabled.When I try to set it up in addition to work from a Windows 8.1 desktop, the printer is recognised and the print-job goes to the print queue but then vanishes from the queue without any printing having started.I have tried using Wireless Direct for the Windows computer but it doesn't seem to help.I will now uninstall and re-install the Officejet on the 8.1 using the disc and see if that helps.I understand (is this right?) that enabling printer sharing doesn't help, as there are two different OS (Mac and MS).Any help would be very welcome.I had before another HP printer (Photosmart B110a) for the windows 8.1 (and on the Mac) and it never seemed properly installed on the Windows computer either. But it did print (but not scan etc.)

This problem is a result of a limitation in Windows 9x regarding the size of an image that you can send to the printer. The problem does not occur on Windows 2000/NT. This problem appeared with the increased color options of LabVIEW 6.0 on which the BB1.2 is based.Although it is not immediately obvious, your video driver and settings play a role in printing.
1. Try adjusting the color palette your driver uses (i.e., 256 color, high olor, true color). The error may occur only in one of these modes. Also, change the resolution (number of pixels) to represent the Screen Area; e.g., change from a 1024 x 768 display to an 800 x 600 pixel display.
2.Certain video drivers also support "acceleration" modes. Using a non-accelerated mode often eliminates the error. For
Windows 95/98, right-click on your My Computer icon and select "Properties" from the pop-up
menu. On the Performance tab, click the Graphics button and change the Hardware Acceleration (e.g., if it is set to "Full", lower the setting a notch or two); for Windows 2000/NT, right-click on your Desktop and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu. On the Settings tab, click the Advanced button and go to
Troubleshooting.
3.In Windows, the standard VGA driver provided by the operating system is very stable. Try using this driver in place of the specific one written for your video hardware. If the error is eliminated, there is likely a problem with your vendor-provided video driver.
4.These errors are most often fixed with the latest
video/printer driver. Be sure to contact your hardware manufacturer and install the latest driver. An easy way to determine if your error is "driver-related" is to move your code to another machine (and hopefully a different set of drivers) and see if th
e error persists. If the problem is printer related, try another printer.
5.Make sure there are at least 100M avalible space in your C: drive. If not, set the virtual memory to the other drive which has larger available space.

Print via bluetooth direct to printer

I have the 8330 BB Curve (my 3rd blackberry) and I am trying to print directly from my bb to a printer via Bluetooth. Now I was in a store and made it work with a multifunction HP printer. I then took home a Canon IP100 portable and got a bluetooth adaptor. Canon, however does not support direct printing, only HP. So I returned it and got a portable HP H470, but the wi-fi version (couldn't get the bluetooth one easily) and tried putting the bluetooth adaptor in it, but cannot get it to print. Any suggestions?

hello,
it is a HP H470 issue. Contact HP support and ask them if there is a way of using that device with a bluetooth adapter.

Windows 7 PC connected to HP printer via time capsule. Printer keeps printing the same page over and over

I am using time capusle and have my husbands Windows 7 PC and my MacBook Pro connected to it. I just purchased a HP LaserJet P1606dn and have connected and printed to it succesfully using Bonjour on my MacBook.
I have connected through Bonjour to the printer on the PC, but when I print a page, it keeps printing the page over an over. It stays in the que. I also set up my dual boot MacBook/Vista laptop and agai, I have no issues on the MacBook part, but it does the same thing on the Vista Machine as on the Windows 7.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

Located a solution:
Go to Control Panel - Printers --- right click the printer and select Printer Properties.
Select the PORTS tab and disable Bi-Directional Printer Support. Seems to work whether the printer is installed either via USB or Cat5 to the Airport Extreme network.
For HP printers, if that first fix doesn't work, download and install the HP Install Network Printer Wizard - allow it to replace your 'newer' driver, but check hp.com for step by step instructions.
Third suggested fix is to download a PCL6 driver, or a different model-driver altogether that is more generic than model specific.

Unable to print via Airprint and Wireless - Print utility (wireless) is working fine

Hi,
I have a Photosmart 310a (Device model number: CN503B). I am not able to print wirelessly or via Airprint from the iPhone or from the Mac. But the Printer Utility (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) can connect to the printer (wirelessly) and show infos and prints test pages.
I have restarted the printer, checked that the networksettings are correct. Is there anything else to try?
Thanks.

Hi Nic0linux,
Try unplugging the printer for about a minute. Make sure the iPhone is also connected to the same wifi network as the printer. Also, try checking for product updates on the printer. Go to "setup" > 'web menu' > "product updates" > "check for product updates". If there is an update available then allow it to install. The printer will then reboot itself after it installs the update. Try AirPrint again. If that still does not work, try unplugging the printer, router, and power cycle the iPhone. When you power everything back on, you want to let the router get booted back up completely first, then the printer (make sure that the printer is still connected to your wifi), then the iPhone. Then try to AirPrint again. I hope some of this information helps. If you still need further assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at 1-800-474-6836 and ask to speak to Cloud Services.
I am an HP employee.
