Cant add HP1215 printer

Hi,
My Hp PSC 1215 all in 1 USB printer was working fine yesterday..
Today there are no printers in my printer list so I tried to add it back on and got the following error 'An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer client-error-request-value-too-long'
I have uninstalled all the HP printer software usind their utility, downloaded the latest software & drivers, reinstalled them and I still get the same error.
I have repaired permissions and I still get the same error.
I have been able to use the printer to scan and copy a document and it works fine???
Any ideas?

Please follow the instructions here in order.

  • Mixed Mac & PC PCs no longer showing up in "shared"cant add windows printer

    Hi all,
    I have noticed that none of the PCs on my network at work are showing up in finder under the 'shared' section, hasnt really been a big deal, i have shortcuts to all the network folders/printers i need to access (main printer is shared from a XP machine)
    but with the recent installation of an SSD drive i thought rather then clone old stuff id start fresh
    installed 10.6.5 on my late 2009 Macbook, no worries
    have done all the updates.
    went to print, oh thats right i need to set it up.
    it is not showing the printer in the 'windows' section of add printer.. Hmm i thought, thats odd, I booted off my old drive, yep, could still print but there is nothing listed if i try to add a new printer.
    jump onto a windows 7 machine, yep, there is all the PC's and macs on the network.
    jump onto the iMac based 10.6 server, Hmm IT cant see any PC's or shared printers either.
    now if i goto the addresses manually they mount and i can access them, but unlike windows, i can only mount volumes, i cannot mount the networked system and then select 'add this printer'
    I have looked around, from editing DNS settings, changing my samba.conf file etc, nothing works.
    the odd thing is that when im at home, my laptop can see the NAS, networked PC's ect no problem, so its somthing here, not this mac, but on the network.
    I run an IPcop based firewall for the sole purpose of cacheing microsoft and Apple updates (I run a computer repair shop , these updates are a killer on the 'ol download allowance)
    i have restarted the modem, firewall, network hubs etc, still no joy.
    it was probably just over a month ago i remember adding the front counter printer to this mac on its old HDD without issue, so something in the last month has gone kaplewie.
    Any suggestions are welcome but unfortunatley the network structure is a bit too involved to disconnect all systems and plug into a basic hub :/ - this setup has been working for 3 years with very little issue
    what gets me, while my MAcbook is fully up to date and may be the target of blame (failed update or somthing) the iMac server has not been updated for 9 months since we put 10.6 server on it, so it wasnt not an update that caused this.
    is there some odd chance that a new PC on the network maybe causing some issue?
    wow, long post.. sorry..
    any help greatly appreciated!

  • Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

    Hello,
    I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
    The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
    Then I follow this steps.
    1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
    2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
    3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
    4.- Choose network printer
    5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
    6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13)  I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
    7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
     So, in select device type, I select  "Standard" and "Generic Network Card"  and click on Next
    8.- Install printer driver  -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
    9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
    10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
    11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
    Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that  "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
    I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
    I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
    Many Thanks
    Robert

    Hi lespaul80,
     1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
    and check under network setup  if subnet mask and  def. gateway setup
    also if you have DNS setup check it too
    check if you have SNMP options - desable it
    on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
    Hope it help you

  • Epson 4800 Ethernet IPP Network Cant Add PRINTER SETUP UTILITY

    Greetings!
    Any known issues?
    Does anyone have this working??
    I am having a time TRYING to ADD a new Epson 4800 printer, Epson Ethernet card onto new Mactel laptop and new quad G5 (both 10.4.7).
    Epson NetConfig Utility sees the printer and set an IPP address.
    However, Apple PRINTER SETUP UTILITY Add IP printer isn't working.
    I had qualified Epson support taking me through the steps...he said some issues with the Intel books, but that doesn't explain why the G5 isn't working.
    Three hours yesterday and I'm back on it later today...any tips/info appreciated.

    Hi all,
    I recently bought an Epson Stylus DX4850 and I'll be damed if I get the thing installed on my Intel based Mac! This is driving me mad, I've been told that it is compatable. I've downloaded all the drivers from the Epson website but when I go to add the printer it's not listed. Does this mean that I need to use a different driver or gimp driver?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and would prevent me from going insane!
    Many thanks, Jon

  • Cant add second chrombook to google cloud printer HP8600

    I have a chromebook connected to an HP8600 over cloud print.
    When I go to add the printer to a second chromebook it keeps telling me that i have to have the owner of the printer share it with me.  We've looked on every google account we have and none of them seem to have "ownership' of this printer.
    What do I do?
    Frustrated in NJ!
    Bart

    Hello @bartonz ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I think I have the answer that will give you the ability to add the Officejet Pro 8600 on the second Chromebook.
    Take a look at this support page from Google: Share your printer with other people.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Upgrade to 10.4.10 from 10.3 everytime I try to add a printer I cant

Can anyone help me and tell me what I need to do to fix this. Thanks in advance

    In your printer setup utility, you can select the Printer Setup Utility>Reset Printing System...
    Try that, but it didn't work for me, I found that the latest security update has screwed a lot of peoples ability to print. You basically need to do an archive and reinstall to get rid of the update.

  • Cant add new printers

    Hi,
    I've had my macbook for about 3 mnths now. I never got around to setting up my personal printer to this - but I plugged in a brother usb printer a mnth ago and started printing with no problems. Now i'm trying to share with a pc printer, only during all of this i have discovered that i cant add any new printers at all.. Please help!!

    Hi Jami,
    It's not quite clear when you say "share with a pc printer" as to what you mean.
    Is this printer hooked to the PC? If so did you add it on the PC to Printer Sharing?
    If Printer sharing is ON on the Mac you must turn it off & reboot, as it'll only see Printers directly connected to the Mac.
    Or are you trying to share the Mac's Printer with the PC?
    Might see iFelix...

  • How do I add/remove print apps on my printer?

    The way you add apps to your printer varies depending on the model. 
    I. On the following printers, use the "Get More" icon on the device to add additional print apps directly on the device:  When you select the "Get More" icon on your printer front panel display, you will see a list of available apps for your pinter, and you can select and add apps to your printer from there:  
    HP Photosmart c309n-s
    HP Photosmart Premium C310 series
    HP Photosmart eAll-in-One Printer D410 series 
    To remove apps on these printers, select the "Get More" icon, and then select the "Manage Apps" button (at the top-left of the Touchsmart Web Apps" screen that appears).  That will open the "Manage My Favorites" screen where you can remove apps by selecting the "X" on the app icons.  
    Any configuration required for print apps (e.g., entering Zip Code) on these devices will be prompted for when you run the print app. 
    II. On the HP eStation (with the removable tablet display).  
    Add apps: Select the tab (with the upwards arrow on it) at the bottom of the screen to open the app drawer.  Then select the Add Apps option at the bottom of the screen to view available print apps.  
    Delete apps: Select the tab (with the upwards arrow on it) at the bottom of the screen to open the app drawer.  Scroll down to display the Print Apps section.  Select the Delete option and then select the app you wish to delete.   
    III. On other web-connected printers, if you select the "Get More" icon it will provide you the web site address for HP ePrintCenter - www.hpeprintcenter.com.  You go there to add new apps, view apps on your printer, and setup/remove apps from your printer.  
    For those devices, to add more print apps: 
    Go to www.hpeprintcenter.com and log into your account.  If you don't have an account yet, create an account and add your printer.  Information on doing that can be found here:  http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/Add-your-printer-to-your-HP-ePrintCenter-accou...
    Select the "Get More Print Apps" link in the Print Apps section (below the ePrint section).
    Select the icon of the print app you want to install, and then on the print app detail page select the "Add to Printer" button.  If the print app requires setup, after adding it you will see a "Setup" button which you should select to configure the print app so it is ready to use.  
    To remove apps on these printers, select the "My Apps" link to display the apps installed on your device.  Hold your mouse over the print app you would like to remove and a red X will appear, select the red X to remove the app.  
    As soon as you add or remove the print app from the HP ePrintCenter it will be removed/added on your printer...select the "Apps" icon to see all currently installed apps on your printer.  
    Note:  Not all print apps are supported on all printers, and apps may be limited to cetain countries or languages.  If you don't see a print app you are looking for when you access the "Get More Print Apps" link, that app is not currently available for your printer.  We are regularly working on creating new apps and extend the printers on which existing apps are available, and you will see a star notification icons on the Get More icon on your printer when new apps are available.

  • Add a Print button to a Report Page

    I'm trying to add a Print button to a report page to render the page in printer-friendly mode and then give the user the option to send to a printer. I started with just trying to add a print button. I added a button to the region and added to the button request value javascript:window.print();. When I click on the print button, nothing happens. So I tried to add some html code:
    <form>
    <input type="BUTTON" value="Print" onClick="window.print()">
    <form>
    as a condition in Expression 1 when I selected "Current page is NOT in Printer Friendly mode". Nothing happens when I click on the print button. Can anyone offer some steps to create this functionality or point me to documentation on how to do this? I have tried the help documentation within APEX and isn't clear to me.
    Thanks

    The documentation wasn't very clear to me. I did try one suggestion to create a region on the report page and call it Print. The suggestion is then to add the following code to the Source Region section:
    <form>
    <input type='BUTTON' value="Print this page" onClick="window.print()">
    <form>
    The example however leaves out some significant information however. What is the region created as e.g. HTML, Report, Form, URL, etc?

  • How Do I add Bonjour printer to groups of Macs

    I have a few HP 2600n (running with bonjour over network) I want to add all of these to 40 iMacs in one hit, I cannot do this via Server admin can I? If not then is it possible to send out a command to add the printer with its designated name to all the iMacs?
    Thanks in Advance..

    Workgroup Manager in 10.4 and later allows you to manage which Printers are allowed under
    Preferences > Printing.
    The pane opens with a list of all the printers installed on the Mac you are using, and allows you to open Print Utility and look for more. You can manage these printers by Computer List, by group, or by individual user (or ad-hoc clumps of users). But these Preferences would have to be blended with your existing Printer Preferences management.
    Because you said these are Bonjour Printers, they are visible on the network. Sharing a printer attached to a single Mac may require a few more steps.

  • How do I add a Printer Driver to the Driver List??

    Im trying to add my printer to a WGPS606 Netgear Print server. So Im adding a Printer to print via LPD IP printing, but My Canon iP4200 is not listed as one of the canon printers in the "Print Using" driver list.
    I have been to the Canon site and can only seem to download a Pkg driver file (which I have run).
    If I use the "other" setting in the "print using" driver list surely I can add the iP4200 if I had the right driver file.....? How do I get hold of the right file to add it to the list or am I missing the point of adding a print driver to the pre-installed list????

    I have read my list through and through but no sign
    of Designjet 900. (now slightly cross-eyed). If you
    get a chance to look through the list on your mac
    when you're reunited, I would be grateful!
    The latest version of the Gutenprint/Gimp-Print drivers does not have a generic DeskJet Series 900 PPD. It lists individual printers in the 900 range. The Gimp-Print v4.2.7 driver package did have a generic DeskJet Series 900 PPD. Somewhere in between, there was a change over to model specific PPDs.
    Crispian, your original request for a driver for an HP printer was for the HP Deskjet 9800. Gutenprint/Gimp-Print does not support that printer. The hpijs drivers do support that printer. If that is not the printer you have, please specify again which printer you have. There has been mention of the DeskJet 9800, DeskJet 900, and DesignJet 900 in this thread.

  • How do i add a printer to my account?

    I want to be able to print. How can I add my printer

    Hi deneahj20471770,
    Please elaborate--what are trying to print from? In general, the printer setup is a function of your operating system. If you want to add a printer, you need to install the appropriate printer driver. When the printer driver is installed, you should be able to access that printer from any of your installed applications.
    If you tell us what operating system you're on, and what you're printing to, we should be able to point you in the right direction.
    Best,
    Sara
