Dell MFP 3115cn printing info and scanning question

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a printer driver available for this printer from Dell's site.
It worked with Leopard & Snow Leopard.
For scanning, I have no idea how to get that to work with Leopard or Snow Leopard.
Does anyone know how to get the scanning to work between Mac OS X & Dell MFP 3115cn?

Dell presumably used the engine of another manufacturer for their printer. Find out what printer's engine they used, and you may be able to find comparable drivers to work with it. For printing, see my FAQ*:

For scanning, see my other FAQ*:

Can't Print to Dell MFP 3115cn

I've got a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 and I'm having problems printing over the network to my Dell MFP 3115cn printer.
Everytime I try to print, the print queue comes up with the following error message:
Connecting to [IP address of printer] on port 631
Network host [IP address of printer] is busy, will retry in [x amount of] seconds
I've installed the printer with the latest driver on Dell's website.

How do I print to and scan from Canon MG5220

I own a Mac mid-2011, an iPad2 and just ordered 2 iPhone4's. I have a Canon Pixma MG5220.
I want to print from all devices and scan to the Mac an possibly the iPad2.
Will the Airport Express or Airport Extreme allow both printing and scanning?

If the printer is a multi function device and you plan on connecting it to the either the AE or AEX via USB then no it will not scan to the iMac. However if the printer is a true wi-fi device then sure you can scan if it's connected either via Ethernet or Wi-Fi to the iMac. As far as scanning directly to the iPad no I don't believe it has the ability. However there is an easy work around, Dropbox. Create a Dropbox account and have both the iMac and iPad connect to it. Then when you scan scan to where the iMac has the Dropbox account and it will simultaneously scan to the iPad too. As far as printing from the iPad and iPhone 4's you should search for an app. As far as I know there isn't one but I'm not very knowledgeable about IOS either. If you had purchased one of HP printers that supports IOS then printing from IOS would be pretty easy.

HP Instructions for Printing and Scanning Under Snow Leopard

HP has posted instructions for Snow Leopard users for printing, faxing, and scanning on HP printers.
While the scan button (and installed HP printer management software) may no longer work on the printer, you can still scan if you go through the Preview or Image Capture programs on your Mac to access the scanner.
I tried it on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer that was unable to scan after upgrading to Snow Leopard, and it worked.
HP has posted the printer instructions for Snow Leopard at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en &product=1153481
Hope this helps some of you. It worked for me.

You can download VueScan as a trial without paying for it unless you want to.
As for enabling scanning with Image Capture you need the proper driver. As a start I would ask HP's tech support if they can help you get it working. Apple does not write any printer or scanner drivers. They are provided by HP or other printer manufacturers. Apple packages them for distribution with OS X. It's quite possible that the current scanner driver for your model isn't compatible with SL.
If you understand modern technology then you have to appreciate the fact that most things become obsolete within months. This is certainly true of computers and their peripherals. Software developers cannot keep up the pace with the hardware. A two year old printer has been obsolete for more than a year already. Unless HP still sells and manufactures that model, they tend to lose interest with them. SL only arrived in October 2009 which is after your model was released. So HP needed to provide compatible drivers. If they have then perhaps the problem with yours is related to something else, but I don't know what that would be beyond completely uninstalling all the HP software then letting the OS figure out what to install. SL automatically discovered both my printer and scanner, then installed the drivers for each.

HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP keeps Printing

Hi Admin,
I currently work as an IT Entry Level Support, and I have a problem with HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP that I cannot give time to figure out why.
Here's what I have:
System: WXP Pro v2002 SP2
Hardware: HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP
Device Manager Driver: HP LJ M1530 Series Scan ; Driver Date: Nov 16, 2009
HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP keeps printing JZJZL() and different Random Garbled characters, I can only print properly if I switch it on and Turn it on again.
One more question: Is there a way to stop whatever is printing from the HP Toolbox.
Thank you..
This question was solved.

Hi @Claude-Antoine,
I understand that the printer is printing garbled print and something keeps printing off from the Toolbox. I can help you with this.
Most likely the driver is corrupted and you will have to uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
If you can print the hardware self test page properly, then it would be a software issue.
Printing a Configuration Report.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
Resolving Strange, Garbled or Illogical Text, Incomplete Printouts, or Missing Text or Graphics.
Here is the link for the newest drivers. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
If your networked, do you have a Static IP setup and what kind of router are you using?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Making Dell MFP 1600n work with my MacBook Air

I have a MacBook Air and a Dell MFP 1600n printer that doesn't come with a Mac OS driver. Generic printer drivers nor PLC printer drivers can get this printer to work. Neither the Xerox PE120/120i driver does the trick. Is there anyone that can help me with this? Thanks very much!

AFAIK, there are no print drivers that are compatible with OSX Lion for that printer or its Xerox counterpart. You'll probably have to ditch it and get another printer.

How do I get Adobe to scan from the feeder on a Dell 3115cn printer?

How do I get Adobe to scan from the feeder on a Dell 3115cn printer?

hello, when printed pdf files come out blank from your printer, this is currently a bug in the integrated firefox pdf viewer that is investigated by our developers. in the meantime you could use a third-party pdf plugin like from adobe that you can enable in the firefox ''options > applications'' - scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

HP laserjet m1536dnf mfp print and scan is very slow

Hi Sir/Madam,
HP laserjet m1536dnf mfp print and scan is printing and scanning slow on network. Sometimes scan is not work. That's why I have to reinstall the printer driver. So how to increase print speed?
Thanks in advance,

Hi riz1_4444,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand the printer is printing and scanning slow on the network.
I will be happy to help you.
Make sure printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.
Try printing a hardware test on the printer to see if it prints slow or not.
Printing a Configuration Report. Select Method one: Print a Configuration Report from the printer control panel.
I would restart the router to see if this will resolve the issue.
Try another Ethernet cable.
If you are still having issue then test the printer by connecting the printer to the computer by a USB cable to see if it is something on the network that is causing it to slow down.
Hope this resolves your issue for printing slow over the network.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a wonderful day!

Link to Windows 8.1 Printer (Fax, Copy and Scan) Drivers for OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z

Hello:
Need to know where I can find updated drivers for my OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z printer. I am using Windows 8.1 operating system.
I have tried using the link at HP, but at the point that it supposedly gets to the install window, it asks me to insert the disc that came with the printer. When I do that, I still get an error message saying something like "the link cannot be found." I also get another message at some pont indicating that the full version needs to be uploaded. Then, the same process starts all over again. I should add that the printer disc says that it is compatible with XP, Windows 7 and other earlier versions, but not 8 or 8.1
I have tried this 6 or 7 times with the same result. Dell (the company from which I bought the laptop) was useless and suggested I contact HP.
I can no longer scan, either, because the computer isn't recognzing that the printer has a scan function, so when I go to use PaperPort 12 to scan stuff, it doesn't recognize that a printer is attached.
Any help resolving these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

A "HP Twain Scan" function in the "Print and Scan Doctor" app - Solution?

Frustration!! Why can't I get the scanning portion of subject printer to work on my laptop Windows 7 (64-bit)!?? I've tried the Print and Scan Doctor several times, and the same dysfunction says "HP Twain Scan" whatever that means or is? I've pulled out the cords, all of 'em, and it still not helping. Did I purchase a printer that is not compatible with my laptop? As far as the scanning portion is concerned, or what? I can print OK, both from website/emails and my own documents. I do a lot of scanning (photos mostly), and so this will be a sad problem.Hoping someone out there in techland can give me a solution. Thanks!
