Connecting a HP LaserJet 4P

I have purchased a time capsule (500GB) serial number 6F8293CVYZV and I have an older HP LaserJet 4P serial number USCB012140. Could anyone tell me if I purchase a printer cable (USB to serial or parallel) will it work with the time capsule and HP LaserJet that I currently have?

How do I connect my HP Laserjet 1102w directly to a Linksys AE3500 wireless router with USB option?

I am trying to connect an HP Laserjet 1102w directly to an HP desktop model a172n with Windows Vista Home Premium OS (32 bit) through a new Linksys AE3500 dual band wireless router which has a USB port for a direct connection. The desktop can see the wireless router but not the printer.
Is there a work around, a printer installer update, or some other solution that enables me to connect the desktop to the printer via the USB connection on the wireless router? I need to have one wireless laptop and one non-wireless desk computer able to use the one printer.
Thanks for any assistance!

Is it possible to connect an HP LaserJet P4015n printer to a computer via the ethernet ports?

My usb port on my Laserjet P4015n no longer works and I am unable to connect this printer to my network router because it's in a different room. Is it possible to connect an HP LaserJet P4015n printer to a computer via the ethernet ports? Of so, how would I go about making this connection? Will I need to install ethernet drivers for this to work?
Thanks,
Greg

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

How do I connect an HP LaserJet 5000 GN printer to my iMac running system 10.7

How do I connect an HP LaserJet 5000 GN printer to my iMac (system 10.7.5) ?

Ok, I too have been having a time with hooking up the Great HP 5000 GN to my new 2013 MacPro desktop computer.
And I have tried everthing. Excep This, Last night I decided to treat it as a brand new printer, right out of the box.
I turned it off, (the rocker switch) and unpluged everthing to it and left it overnight.
This morning I plug it in. In this order, the Ethernet Cable from the Xfinity Modem / Router. Then the Power Cord,
Then turned it on ( the rocker switch). And let it go through the initaliting process.
Then at the printer panel on the printer, I printed out a fresh Configuration. I noticed right away the IP Address was different than the one I had been trying to use.
Then I went into the System Preferences / Printers & Scanners. Held down the Control Key with with the curser in the
big area where the Printers/Scanners are listed and clicked on it to reset the items inside that area. To clean everthing out.
Then clicked the IP ikon and put the NEW IP Number in the address space.
BINGO !!! Spacs started to fill up! And I hit the Add Button.
I opened Illustrator and pulled up a file and went through the paces to print. BINGO ! The printer went into action before
I took my finger off the button!
This is the first time I have ever posted anything. But I just had to tell y'all who have had the same trouble as I have.
So now, you can have Happy Holidays with your MacPro OS X 10.10.1 and the HP 5000 series

Cannot Scan with Network Connected HP Color Laserjet 2840 MFP

Just acquired Lenovo T530 which comes with Windoze 7 installed. My SOHO printer is an HP 2840 connected on LAN and I was able to use scanner function without problems from previous laptop running Win XP.
New laptop total failure as it doesn't see the scanner. Have spent many hours updating and searching for solutions but without any luck. Quite a few postings on topic come up in Google but no solutions. HP site useless as the links go in a loop without getting to an answer.
As T530 is brand new and under warranty I had assumed I would be able to ask Lenovo for help but cannot find how.
Meanwhile if anybody has solution please help.
Budgie_one

Hi Budgie_one, a late welcome to the forum,
I have the same problem with my HP CM1017 colour laserjet multi-function, worked brilliant with XP but unfortunately HP never brought out scanner drivers to work with Win7, printing was all Ok.
I spent ages searching the HP forums where the proposed solution was to install the drivers in compatability mode, which never worked for me, so I gave up and ended up installing the thing in Win7 XP mode. If I need to scan I just start the XP mode and all works as planned.

Connect HP Printer (Laserjet 500 color M551), to 2 wireless networks.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to connect the formentioned printer(*) to 2 wifi's we have in work. Let's say WNet1 & Wnet2.
So that everyone connected in those 2 Wireless Networks, can print.
(Details: the printer is already set up for WNet1, and is working fine. But half of us can't connect to WNet1, so we have WNet2 for that reason. The printer is "in range" for both WNetworks, that will not be an issue )
(*): Laserjet 500 color M551

Printing problems with my newest Mac: can't connect to networked LaserJet

I have several Macs printing to an HP LaserJet 4000TN on my LAN. All but one work fine. Even the Windows machine works. The bad actor is a new MacBook Pro.
When I try to set the printer up (using the HP JetDirect IP connection), for some reason it can't figure out which driver to use—I have to manually select it. And very often it refuses to print, saying that it can't connect to the printer. Power cycling the printer fixes it temporarily (printer is set in Energy Saver mode but wakes up fine for other machines).
All my other Macs (all using latest Snow Leopard) work fine. What's the problem?

Error Message: "Unable to Connect to Printer, will try again in 30 seconds...
I have the same problem. It just started a few days ago. Prior to that, it was printing fine. I recently did an Apple Software update, so I'm guessing that's where the problem originated from.
I have a Brother Multifunction that's setup on my WLAN.
I got the message after attempting to:
Factory reset the printer and setting up WLAN again
Uninstalling all Brother Printer and Scanner Drivers and Reinstalling
Switching to WiredLAN to print
Same Error Message Each Time
Two days ago, I also installed a new print cartridge. When I saw the levels a day later, it looked like it was half used - No Way!
There is obviously a miscommunication between ink/toner level and new cartridges and the Apple Drivers for WLAN.
To my knowledge, there is no fix at this time and Apple needs to resolve this high priority.
What I don't get is why won't the wired config for the printer work either?
Last fix attempt: Take out all cartridges and reinstall. No Juice!
My Findings: The Latest Apple Software Update will screw up the communication between your Mac and print drivers.
Solution: It's all On Apple to fix this ASAP!

MacBook Air connected to a Laserjet Pro MFP but not printing

Hi, I am trying to print from an HP LaserJet Pro MFP M-125a which is connected to a MacBook Air via a USB cable. The software has been downloaded and the print job window is always showing as if it is in the process of printing the print job given but no printing is issued and the print job is seen as done. Can you please tell me what's wrong why the print outs are not coming out?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @Lilium ,
I see that you are having issues printing through the USB connection. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
Did you download and install the full software solution or run the Apple Upates?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (LaserJet Pro MFP M125a )
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
How is the printer name listed?
If the issue persists, please try the following steps:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

New MacBook Pro 10.7.2 trying to connect to HP laserjet 1200 w wireless. Tried generic driver and hpdriver and gutenprint drivers. "Unable to connect due to error". Deleted prefs, restarted etc. Any ideas ?

Just purchased a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2. Cannot get it to print with HP LaserJet 1200.
Connection is wireless, able to ping printer. (also tried MacBook using ethernet).
This HP 1200 prints perfectly with another mac running Snow Leopard.
Tried HP 1200 driver, which, according to HP, is not working with 10.7.2; They suggested Gutenprint
tried generic printer from Mac, (message was printer is busy);
tried CUPS Gutenprint 5.0.2,(message says "unable to connect due to an error"
removed preferences and re-added printer, rebooted etc.
Any thoughts? I thought it was the driver, maybe there are other drivers out there or maybe it's something else???? Thanks

Thanks for the replys.
After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

How to connect a HP LaserJet Printer P1102w to my Toshiba Laptop

I have just bought a LaserJet P1102w printer, but i cant seem to install it on my Toshiba laptop (or a HP laptop). I have tried the instruction that came with the product, the disc, the HP website, HP help support in Sydney (Who couldnt even install it when he logged into my computer). I have tried 2 different cables. but as soon as it get to the bit saying "waiting for you to connect the device", thats where it stops. (on both computers). The guy at HP told me to take the printer back and get another one as it might be a hardware problem. But this new one still does the same. I have however been able to print a test page by holding down the X button. I am starting to get really frustrated now. Could anyone help me ?? Thanks

Thanks for the reply . I have been only plugging in the cable when asked for and not at the beginning. However just tried again (for the millionth time lol) and still not happening

No network connection after hp laserjet m602 firmware update

After updating firmware on our hp laserjet M602 printers, the printers are no longer communicating with our print server. I can't even print configuration pages, if the Network cable is connected.

All Help will be greatly appreciated.... JP

Try to turn on device while network cable is disconnected (standalone) and let it completely boot till READY status.
Connect the network cable & note the front panel status (display & LED's both). Also note if the LAN port LED's are ON.
Hope that there is no data being processed by printer (data LED on control panel). If yes, then you might need to delete any pending jobs (including firmware download initiated from computer - if pending in que as a job)
If printer shows READY status without any data, then you may try printing printer internal documents using control panel menus. Next step will be to access printer through web brower (EWS page) and confirm if the device is available for use in network.

Connecting to HP LaserJet 5100 printer on Win7, 32bit PC from a Win7, 64bit PC

I'm having a heck a time trying to add a printer that is on another machine. The printer is an HP LaserJet5100 and is connected to a Win7, 32bit pc using a pcl6 driver. The PC I want to add this other printer to is a Win7, 64bit. I went to HP Drivers and downloaded a HP LaserJet 5100 pcl6 driver for Win7, 64bit, and ran it, using traditional mode, on the PC that I'm trying to install a printer to. I chose "Add a network Printer..." and then pick the printer that I want to connect to. I get a Windows Printer Installation pop up that says "Checking for Windows Update. This might take a while..." and then get another popup that says "No driver found". I then get another pop up to locate the driver. Browsing to the driver files that I just download, I find eleven files of the .inf file type, but none of them are the right file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Connecting an hp laserjet 2000 to windows 8 usb port

Hi, and thanks in advance to any and all who can answer my question.
I am in the process of upgrading to an new Windows 8 desktop PC that only has USB ports. I have an HP Laserjet 4000 printer that has a large parallel printer port that currently connects with a parallel printer cable to my existing Windows XP (upgraded to 7 PC.) According to all the info I can find the printer should be compatable with windows 8 but I cannot find out what kind of a connection cable I need. Will a simple Parallel to USB cable work or do I need something specific to the HP Laserjet 4000?
Thanks again for any help.

Hello,
I have connected those printers to my Macs with OS X using a USB to Parallel printer cable (like the one you propose). It worked just fine.
I did have to download and install the Gimp-Print printer drivers and set those up (since the 4si doesn't have any Mac drivers). So, you may need to get the free Gimp-Print package installed as well.
But, yes, the USB to Parallel cable is all you need for making the connection. The cable does not require any drivers. Just plug it in, and connect the printer to the computer. Then, set-out configuring the printer drivers to talk with your printer.
You can get the Gimp-Print package at:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
I hope this helps.
