Cannot print wirelessly from my Mac to newly installed HP Officejet 4620

I've just installed a new HP Officejet 4620 all-in-one printer this afternoon.   I used the  HP Setup Assistant and downloaded drivers from the internet since I don't have a CD drive on my Mac.  I've got a relatively new Netgear router.   When I bought the printer yesterday, I spent all afternoon trying to install it to no avail.  Got some message about a MAC filter problem.  I then reset the Netgear back to its default settings as well as the printer and then the printer setup seemed to be successful.  At least I got a message to that effect and the Printer Status Report, HP Network Configuration Page, and Wireless Network Test Results reports are came back with no problems.  I've tried multiple times to print from this computer to no avail.  When I press Command plus P the print menu comes up with "save" or "cancel" as the only options.  Anyone have any ideas on what could be amiss?  I'm about ready to give up.

So it sounds like the printer is connected to the wireless network.  If so:
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Cannot print wirelessly from Windows 7 (64 bit) laptop to Officejet 6000 Wireless (E609n)

    The printer is a HP Officejet 6000 Wireless (E609n) and is connected via usb to a Windows 7 (64 bit) desktop and the laptop has Windows 7 (64 bit) loaded.
    No changes were made that I'm aware of other than the usual Windows updates.
    Server is offline is displayed next to the printer icon on the laptop when printing is attempted.
    The wireless network test report shows no problems.
    I have rebooted the desktop and printer with no success.
    The laptop used to print wirelessly without a problem.

    I am not sure the Officejet 6000 can have both the wireless and USB ports active at the same time.  You could try disconnecting for the USB cable and then power cycling the printer and trying to connect wirelessly.  If you have the desktop connected to a router that also provices wireless capability you could connect the desktop with the network connection.
    One other thing you might consider is sharing the printer on your network from the desktop computer.  Next on the laptop computer do the following: go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then select HP (not Hewlett-Packard) for the manufacturer and select the appropriate HP Officejet 6000 series model.

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530 get message printer offline

    Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530, get error message that "printer is offline"
    Thanks for the help.

    Hey @Geneferg,
    Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Because your printer shows connected on the Wireless Test Report, I am going to have you run some standard Mac troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this issue.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
    First, it's important to have a nice clean slate to work with. Therefore, I am going to have you remove and uninstall the software and drivers for your HP Envy.
    To start, can I please have you click here and run through the steps on how to Reset the Print System for your computer. Please run through the steps on 'Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X v10.5.x or 10.6.x'. This will remove every printer from your computer. However, this does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, if you use other printers on your Mac computer simply ensure that the printer is connected through the USB Cable or network connected and (+) add the printer back in via the Print & Scan window. Do not add your HP Envy back in at this time.
    Next, please click here and follow through with the uninstall steps under the 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' dropdown.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
    Once the website opens, select the Download button on the top left
    Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to reinstall your wireless printer
    Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled please test the printing function again to verify if the 'offline' issue has been resolved.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

    I cannot print wirelessly from Macbook Pro: this is the error message I receive /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed. Can anyone help. I have been able to print on this printer for months, then yesturday out of the blue I get this error.

    "/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed"
    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

    I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless.  I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly.  All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers.  When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode.  In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail.  What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly?  Thanks.

    OK, thanks for that.  It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
    1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test.  Is the printer connected to the network?  If it is not:
         a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
         b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
    2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
         Restart your Mac.
    3. Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Idle printing message when printing wirelessly from a Mac - HP Officejet 6600

    I am having an issue with my HP Officejet 6600.  When I try to print from my Macbook Pro I keep getting an idle message on the print screen.  It is showing that it is connected, but will not print.  In addtion I have been able to wireless scan to my computer from the printer and test print from the utilities window on my Mac.  This problem is baffling because it was able to print last week and now can't.  Also the printer will print wirelessly from my PC, but not the Mac.  Please help.

    Let's set a static IP address and external DNS for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Installed mountain lion, now I cannot print wirelessly from imac or macbook

    I installed mountain lion. I updated as much as there is to update via software. Now when I try to print wirelessly from my imac and macbook pro it says "unalbe to find printer" and printer is not connected from both computers.
    I reconfigured the Brother MFC 7840W printer settings and it says that it is connected. I've always been able to print before, so this is related to the new ML installation.

    also, the printer says it is not connected, maybe if i connect it, i can print wirelessly. how do i connect it?

  • How do I print wirelessly from my Mac Pro to Epson XP-810 printer

    I recently bought a Epson XP-810 printer and conected to my WiFi wireless router ASUS N750. The printer's test sheet states that network is working correctly but a "Router / Access point channel" conflict has been detected. I'm using a macbookpro with the current Maverick OS. The system setting shows the printer is on idle, but when I try printing wirelessly from laptop it doesn't print.
    Any assistance or advice would be greatly apprecite it.

    Do you know the printer's IP? If you have it you can use Network Utility to ping the printer. Its in System / Library / CoreServices / Applications.
    Enter the IP in the empty field, the number of pings you want to send, then click Ping.
    The results might help locate the problem.

  • I cannot print wirelessly from my macbook air

    I am trying to print wirelessly from my macbook air 256gb. We have a HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series. It works fine printing when I plug my computer into the cord that is connected to the printer. but without the cord, it says the printer is "offline". I am wondering if the only way to print is if I connect it with the cord, or if i can somehow print wirelessly that I do not know about. thanks!

    also, the printer says it is not connected, maybe if i connect it, i can print wirelessly. how do i connect it?

  • How to print wirelessly from my Mac to HP Envy 100

    I have Mac desktop Mac OS X 10.6.8 hooked up to a wireless router and the HP Envy 100 .  how do I set up the Mac to be able to print wirelessly.  My iPad works perfectly but I just can't get the desktop to work.  Any help would be great. 

    Open Print & Fax preferences. Click on the Add [-] button to add a new printer. In the window that opens click on the Default icon in the toolbar. You should see the printer listed. Select it. OS X will then look for the printer driver needed. After it's found click on the Add button.

  • How do I make my hp J4580 printer print wirelessly from my mac 10.7.5 laptop

    Hi,
    I would like to make my HP J4580 all in one printer wirless.  I have a mac 10.7.5 laptop.  I have read the other posts and it appears to be possible but I can't figure out how to do it.  One of the posts said you need an Ethernet cable, however, there is no place on the back of the J4580 printer to hook up an Ethernet cable.  I tried hooking up the USB cable that came with my printer to my new comcast modem that has wireless, however, that did not work.  I do have sharing on.  
    1.  Is it possible?
    2.  If so, how exactly is it done?  Since I'm not that computer savvy, I do need step by step directions.
    I copied this from one of your other posts.  The back of my computer is exactly the same.
    Thank you,
    HR

    Hi hrsre,
    I understand you're wondering if you can make your Officejet J4580 printer work wirelessly or wired via Ethernet. I will certainly do my best to answer this for you.
    The printer you have does not have any wireless capabilities. If an HP printer does not come with wireless capabilities there is no way to make it such. What I would recommend at this point if you're adamant that you have a wireless printer is to call HP Tech Support for your area and inquire about the out of warranty trade in and trade up program to see what sort of wireless printer they can get to you.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!
