Connecting chrome to hp printer
Hi
I've just bought a hp deskjet 2540 series and not having much joy in connecting it to my chrome book. Is there something that I'm not doing right?
Hi shadow45,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to print from your Chromebook to your Deskjet 2540 printer.
I have included the Setting Up and Using Your Non-ePrint Capable Printer with a Chromebook. Please note that you will need a computer that is running a Windows or Mac operating system.
Please let me know how it goes.
Regards,

Cannot connect to google cloud print
We recently bought a MF8580cdw and installed it wireless, very easy. Scanner works great. We are mostly Mac but I want to use my Chrome book to print. When I try to enable Google print in the remote UI and hit Register I get message "Failed to acquire information for registration". I see in the enable area Install CA Certificate. When I check CA certificates there appears to be 5 pre installed. I have checked the e-manual and don't find this error listed. Checked on line and didn't seem to get a good hit.
Update 24 hrs later. I Found that the SSL connection check box was not checked. After checking this the printer registered fine and it is now printing from my Chrome Book. I did not see any reference to make sure that SSL was enabled. sSmple fix but hard to find.This may or may not help some, but should help others...
I was able to register cloud print successfully last week, then today it presented an error that it couldn't connect to the server. After de-registering and then re-registering, I received the "failed to acquire information for registration" error.
After quite a few failures, I thought the outbound IP filters I set up may have been the issue, so I disabled it. After a few more failures, I decided to power cycle the printer (switch off, wait until all lights shut off, switch on), and this allowed for the weblink to be generated in order to register the printer with cloud print.
It should also be mentioned SSL needs to be set and generated for the printer (Admin login - Network Settings - TCP/IP Settings - SSL Settings). I assume this is so that all information sent to the printer while printing over the internet is encrypted with SSL.
Steps
1. De-register cloud print if previously registered.
2. Turn off, then back on, Cloud Print via the Remote UI (Login as Admin, navigate to Network Settings - Cloud Print Settings)
3. Navigate to Network Settings - TCP/IP Settings - SSL Settngs and register the SSL cert for the MF8280cw (if not already done)
4. Power Cycle Printer via the On/Off Switch
5. Log into Remote UI as Admin
6. Navigate to Network Settings - Cloud Print Settings and attempt registration again
If that fails, and you have IP Filtering for IPv4 on (IPv6 should be on and set to reject, unless you utilize IPv6 in your network; this is for security reasons), set it to off temporarily, power cycle printer, and attempt registration again.
Please be aware, this is not a problem on Google's end and is an issue with the settings on the printer. If you can't find the setting causing the issue, and/or business support cannot help you narrow down the issue, backup your settings via the Remote UI (both for the printer, as well as information from the Address Book), and reset the printer settings to factory default. This will solve the issue, albeit you will have to manually figure out afterwards, through trial and error, what setting it was that caused the issue since restoring your printer settings is likely to cause the issue to re-occur until you narrow down the problem setting(s). -
How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?
How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?
I don't believe any of the Brother printers are AirPrint-enabled. Is your Brother printer network-ready? That is, does is support either/both a wired or wireless connection or just uses USB to connect?

My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?
If you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 then you have Lion installed, not Snow Leopard. It's probably not important to this discussion, but something you should be aware of.
What application are you printing the PDF files from? Have you tried opening the PDF file using the Preview application that can be found in the Applications folder? Does the issue still occur? Have you tried other PDF files from a different source?
Another poster in the following discussion thread reported that this method resolved their black blank PDF issue when viewing (and presumably printing) PDF files from Safari.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3890509?start=0&tstart=0
This solved my question by mcbuffy on Apr 20, 2012 11:29 AM
There's a solution if you want to see the PDF inside Safari's window :
Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
If it works you can empty the trash. -
Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7
I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
It states that I am connected to my router.
When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
Please help.looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router? Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.

How do you connect a lexmark x6570 printer to an iMac wirelessly? The basic user manuals are not helpful as the printer is not showing up when using the add printer function. I my printer is working fine wirelessly with my windows laptop so it appears to be functioning fine. This is my first time using an Apple at home...
Thank you.Hello,
I am using a Mac with this router. Any ideas how I can set it up to print wireless. Im not a tech person so this gets confusing for me sometimes.
Thanks! -
You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer
Environment
Print server: Windows 2008 R2 SP1
Clients: Windows XP SP3 + GPP
Drivers:
HP UPD PCL6 5.3.1.10527
Intermec 7.2.2
Ricoh UPD PS 3.9.0.0
Xerox UPD PS 5.216.12
Zebra 2.6.42.03
GPO Configuration - enables users to add printers/drivers from the print servers.
Background
For the last year, we've had the 2008R2 print server set up and the clients have not had any problems connecting to the print server to add printers.
Issue
Over the past ~3 weeks, we've gotten spurious reports from users stating they're unable to add a printer. The specific error displayed is:
You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer.
It occurs for multiple vendors, so it's not a print driver specific issue. I've personally witnessed the problem where (using a User's account) I was unable to add Printer X out of a list of 10 random printers. 2 minutes later, still logged on
as the same user, I was then able to add Printer X which doesn't make any sense since nothing had changed.
Another user logging into the same workstation will not have any problems adding the same problematic printer. The user who had the problem can log onto a different workstation and add the same printer with no problems, so it's not a User permission
issue either.
Most of the time running gpupdate /force and/or rebooting the box will also 'solve' the problem.
Running the group policy results wizard on a few random workstations (which have exhibited this problem in the past), shows everything appears to be properly configured/enabled related to GPOs, including the
Prevent users from installing printer drivers setting per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259937
Has anyone else ran into this problem lately?
How does one troubleshoot this issue since I can't faithfully reproduce it on demand since it appears to resolve itself after a period of time?Haven't found the smoking gun to this problem, but I am getting closer.
Troubleshooted another PC today which was exhibiting this problem for another user. Logged onto the PC with my User account and sure enough, received the same message for the same printer. Fired up Sysinternals Process Monitor, but nothing useful
was captured when receiving the failure message. There was also another Point and Print printer which was present on the workstation (i.e.
PrinterName on PrintServerName) for my User account which stated "printer cannot be removed. Access is Denied" when I tried to delete it. Odd. Getting properties on the printer would bring up the correct info from the print server
though, so it was valid and appeared functional.
I tried running the new
MS FixIT printing tool, but it failed in full mode with an admin account.
Next, I searched through the registry for this printername which I was unable to delete. Eventually it was found at:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\PRINTERNAME
On a hunch, I deleted the entire PrinterName key, restarted the print spooler, and then was able to add the printer with no permission errors! There were several more printers listed in this registry key. I tried the same steps again:
validate receiving 'sufficient access' error.
purge printer's registry key
restart spooler
Able to add the same printer via point and print.
This solved the problem on half of the printers. The others added with no errors. The printer drivers in question are from both HP and Xerox, so I doubt it's a vendor specific issue and instead Windows (unsure if XP or 2008 though).
It would appear that Windows caches the information about the printer/driver/settings/etc from the print server in CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\PRINTERNAME ? Why does it need to be duplicated
in both HKLM and HKCU?
Separate PC, further exploring this printer issue and the contents of the \LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\ keys. On this PC, I successfully ran the MS FixIt for Printing tool in Full mode and rebooted. After reboot, the
System Event logged the following for multiple printers -- which should've been deleted --

subkeys, rebooted the PC, logged on, and those errors did not repeat.
Something strange is definitely going on with the printing subsystem on XP lately... -
Unable to connect to USB shared printer
I hope someone will be able to help with this. I recently had to change my home network setup, and now I can't wirelessly connect to the USB printer shared through my PowerMac G4. Previously, I had AT&T DSL coming in through a Westell modem, with the line out going to the WAN port of the Airport Extreme base station. I then connected the LAN port on the base station to the uplink port on a Linksys switch, to which were connected the iMac G5 and the PowerMac G4. I had a Samsung laser printer connected to the USB port on the base station and an old Epson Stylus Color 740i connected to the G4 with USB printer sharing turned on in System Prefs. Everything worked fine - I could print to either printer from any computer, including wirelessly through my MacBook.
Unfortunately, I have been experiencing slow speeds with my DSL, so one of the steps an AT&T tech took was to replace my Westell modem with a new AT&T 2Wire, which also serves as a router (or switch, I'm not sure which one). Now I don't have the Linksys switch, as it's not needed. The iMac G5 and the G4 are connected directly to the modem through ethernet, and another ethernet port is connected to the WAN port on the Airport base station. There is no connection to the LAN port on the base station. The two printers are connected in the manner I described above. I can print to either printer from the iMac and the G4, but from my MacBook I can only connect to the Samsung that is plugged into the base station. Although printer sharing is still turned on in the G4, I don't see the Epson printer listed anywhere when I try to add a printer on the MacBook. Also, I used to be able to browse the local network to connect to my other computers from the MacBook, but now they don't show up in the browse window. I can connect to them if I put in the computer's IP address, which is now in a different format (192.xxx.x.xx) rather than 10.0.x.x like it used to be. I only mention these last two points because they might be related to why I can't connect to the printer.
Sorry this is so long and complicated, but if anyone has more networking experience than I do, please help. Thanks!linbobmiller wrote:

Your printer is requesting a mac address?
Is that before or after the printer showed you the available ssid's while running the wireless setup.
Did you run the wireless network test on the printer? and if so did it report any errors?
Which wireless setup are you running?

Connecting to a wireless print server, please help!!!
i have a canon mp500 connected to a network through a wireless printserver and wireless router. the printer works when directly connected to my macbook, but not when connected to the print server. i contacted linksys and they sent a docment on how to set the printer up using it's ip address. still didn't work (the instructions were for 10.1 and 10.2). i have downloaded and installed the current mac os x drivers from the canon website with no luck. please help
I'm no expert, but I was able setup HP printer connected wirelessly to AEBS by using Apple's Printer Setup Utility and Bonjour. I was, however, able to install the HP drivers using the software that came with the printer, but it sounds like you could not do so with Canon?
Anyway, here are Apple's help files for adding an IP printer:
"Connecting to an IP printer
An IP printer is a network printer that uses TCP/IP protocols (such as LPD/LPR, IPP, or Socket or Jet Direct) to communicate with your computer. If the IP printer you want to use is not listed when you print, you can add it to your list of available printers.
To add an IP printer, you need to know its IP address or DNS name. See your network administrator for assistance.
Open the document to print, and choose File > Print.
Choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and click IP Printer in the dialog that appears.
Choose the appropriate printing protocol from the Protocol pop-up menu.
Type the IP address or DNS name for the printer in the Address field.
If your printer requires it, type the queue name for your printer in the Queue Name field. If you don't know the queue name, see your network administrator for assistance.
Enter a name and location for the printer, so you can identify it in the Printer pop-up menu.
If the Print Using pop-up menu does not display the name of your printer's model, choose the item appropriate for your printer from the Print Using pop-up menu, and then select your printer in the Model Name list.
Click Add.
Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them." -
Trouble Connecting Wirelessly to PC Printer
As the subject says, I can't connect to my PC printer. The situation is this:
When the server computer is turned off, the printer is down for the entire network. However, despite the main computer (server) being turned off, I can still access the internet wirelessly.
The problem I'm having is being able to connect to the printer. I have already enabled printer sharing on the PC printer (running Windows XP SP2), but I can't find it anywhere on my MBP. In fact, when I try to add a printer under PRINTER & FAX, the Windows workgroup doesn't appear at all. Does anybody have any suggestions? I figured by this day and age, connecting to a printer on a network wirelessly would be just a few simple clicks of the mouse button...Let me make sure I understand.
Normally, you print through the server and everything is fine.
You want to be able to print directly to the printer, which is attached to a Windows XP system (How? USB?), so if the server is down, you can continue to print.
In this scenario, is the server normally forwarding the print job to the Windows XP system?
Is this correct? -

Officejet 6600 All But One Laptop Can Connect To Wireless Network Printer
One windows and 2 macs can connect to the wireless printer over the newtwork just fine but one (Windows 7) will not. HP Print and Scan Doctor can discover the printer from that laptop as "visible" but repeatedly says " need to install full software" which I've done, and after, it runs install wizzard reports, the IP address I've entered is wrong, which it's not. Firewalls are off. I've un and re installed, tried windows add device which can't connect either. I've had this problem before with this laptop but just can't remember how I fixed it. I remember getting to a screen that offered the option of installing over a nework or wireless directly to the printer and over the network fixed it, but I can't remember how I got there. Any ideas as I'm at wits end. Thanks
Welcome to the forums @Davidchicago ,
I read through your post about the installation troubles you are having with one of your Windows 7 computers and your Officejet 6600. I am here to let you know what my suggestion is for you!
There could be a program blocking the installation and causing the problem. I'd recommend a Clean Boot, restarting your PC, disabling your firewall and running through the installation again.
Hopefully that will get you through the install. Let me know the results!
Have a great weekend

This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi @OHIMATAS,
I see by your post that you are unable to network the printer to the Windows XP computer, but the Windows 7 computer is connected. I can help you with this.
Make sure the Windows XP computer is connected to the correct network name, not a Guest network either.
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Try and access the printer's Embedded Web Server on the Windows XP computer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
Did it load the webpage?
If you can't access the printer's EWS, then check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer's IP. They have to match to be on the same network.
Go to start, type run in the search box, type in cmd, then type ipconfig.
Check the IPV4 address.
Now check the IPV4 address for the printer.
Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?
Try and ping the printer.
In the same window, type ping printers IP address (space between ping and IP address)
What are the results?
Run the add printer wizard through printers and faxes, if you were able to access the printer's EWS.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.
