Difference in printers

I have been trying to find out the difference between the deskjet f4440 and the deskjet f4480. I see in certain places both sell. One rep. form HP stated that there was no difference but it was basically the same printer. If so why sell both. I am confused. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Glen

Hi,
You may change the Bonjour broadcasted name from the printer Embeded Web Server.
First, locate the printer IP Address ny clicking the Setup icon and then click Network or Wireless.
Enter the printer URL from your browser to access the Embedded Web Server.
Click the Network tab.
Under Advanced Settings, click Bonjour.
Change the Bonjour Broadcast Name according your needs. the configured name will appear on any Macbook or iPhone.
If you are not able to locate the printer IP Address, please clarify the exact printer model for further details.
Regards,
Shlomi

Page Break Issue - Excel 2013

I'm about to explode, trying to figure out why this problem is happening. I have two users who are opening
an Excel file from the same location, and they're doing their own modifications/saves. When one user opens the document and prints, the Print Preview shows 12 pages, and there are no problems. When the other user opens the same file and prints, there are 18
pages.
Throughout those 18 pages, there are several blank pages interspersed with populated ones, and there are also
a couple of pages with one line or so, from the end of a previous page. If I go to View>>Page Break Preview, this extended document shows little slivers of extra pages. The top of those little "pages" are dashed, and the bottom line is the
solid page-break, for the next page.
Why would this be happening to one user, but not the other? They're both opening the exact same page/template.
Oh, and as a side note, I'm also getting 18 pages with blanks/single-lines, when I open the file. Is there an advanced setting that the 12-page user has checked in Excel that I'm missing? Am I providing enough information?
Any help is massively appreciated.
- Thanks

It's probably caused by a difference in printers. Excel uses the printer settings to place page breaks
Some printers, e.g. inkjet printers, have a smaller printable area than others, e.g. laser printers. As a result, less information will fit on a page.
The worksheet apparently also has manually set page breaks.
Let's take a simple example: the used area of the worksheet has 94 used rows, and a manual page break has been set below row 47. I'll assume that the used area is rather narrow.
On printer A, 48 rows fit on a page. So the first 47 rows will be printed on page 1, and the next 47 rows on page 2.
On printer B, only 46 rows fit on a page because it has a smaller printable area. So the first 46 rows will be printed on page 1, the 47th row on page 2 (not more, because there is a manual page break below row 47). The next 46 rows will be printed on page
3, and the 94th and last row on page 4.

Thin horizontal black line at BOTTOM of page when scan on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I owned an HP Officejet Pro 8500 and scanning was perfect. I recently purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
When I scan from the HP 8600 auto document feeder, I get a thin (several pixel wide) black line along the bottom edge of the resulting scan. This line will sometimes be slighly crooked or only appear across half the page, in which case it tends to get thicker toward the edge of the page). I believe this line is an artifact from scanning the very bottom edge of the oroginal document. I think it is showing where the bottom edge of the page was when scanned. If the document is a little skewed, then the black line at the bottom will be a little crooked, probably following the edge of the page. This problem is consistent, and repeatable. It happens in both "Scan To E-mail" mode and "Scan To Network Folder" mode.
When I scan from the flat bed, I get a very narrow black line along the very top edge of the resulting scan, but the bottom appears fine (although I've not tested this extensively).
These thin black lines did not occur when scanning from the HP 8500.
I am wondering if there is a setting to adjust this, or if it is a firmware difference between printers that needs debugging.
This question was solved.

I find it interesting that the issue happens across both printers. This is what leads me to believe this is something with the software/connection with the PC. One thing I will note is that you mentioned above using Adobe Reader 10.1.6. The latest version of Adobe Reader is 11.0.02. I would advise removing your current version of Adobe Reader and install the latest version.
I am not sure if this will fix the issue as you mentioned the line comes across in jpeg and other scanning styles. Do you possibly have another PC you could try setting up a connection with quickly and attempting a scan? This would be another way to ensure if the issue is coming from the printer or a connection/software issue.
I would like to make sure the issue is coming from the scanners on these printers before returning the printers as I would hate for you to get another model printer and the issue remain with this printer as well. However, I will note that the Laserjet Pro 200 is a nice series printer from my experience. I have used the Laserjet Pro 200 black and white only edition, the MFP, and the TopShot edition where I am located.

AP Check printing setups for printing checks on your own

HI
I am wondering if there a good document which deals with AP check printing with MICR and signature on your own check stock
thanks

Recently we started to deal with AP check printing in our organizatin. It was a daunting task with the information and resources scattered all over and missing critical pieces of information to make sense out of the whole process flow. We attempted to go through the AP check printing internally and succeded.
I decided to post the information for the benefit of people about the our experience
Check Printing Basics and Beyond for Printing Checks on Your Own
by
Sarma Chilukuri
This article deals with what is needed to get your own checks printed. It is a first attempt to uncover all the hidden rules that one should be aware to get your own checks printed. The first section deals with the basic AP check printing setup, while the 2nd half explores some of the flow of events that make it possible to print the check.
Part I â Basic Setup
AP Setup for check printing
There are multiple steps in the AP check printing. First set of steps deal with the AP side setups. The second step is to get the System side setups. The system side setup deals with printer setup and program options setups. The last step would be to make the print format files configured with the vendor provided escape sequences in the laser print format file.
Step 1: login as Payable Manager
Step 2: Bank Setup: Navigate to Setup: Payments > Banks
1.     Make sure the Bank # etc are present
2.     Tab to âBank Accountsâ, and make sure your account # has been setup
3.     On the Bank Accounts screen, tab to the âPayables Documentsâ and verify that Payment format (E.g., COK Laser Format) has been entered. This âPayment format links to next section where we associate it to the right payment program.
Fig 1. AP Payment Bank Setup Screen
Step 3: Program Setup (Setup: Payments > Programs)
As we know there are only 5 formats 3 of which are âEver Green Laserâ (APXPBFE G|L|F) which are explained in the AP Users Guide. For your own form printing, you have to associate the format to APXPFEL (laser format) program. Also, the APXPBFEL or APXPBFEF call the APXPBFEG, which is the base program that pulls the data from oracle base tables. APXPBFEL is the one which allows us to print the checks with MICR and signature on a plain paper not on a pre printed stationery.
Fig. 2 AP Payment Format Setup Screen
Printer Styles, Drivers setup
The above process summarizes the AP Setup. As a DBA, the printer setup needs to be validated. The base install provides the right setup to some extent. But the differences in printers and print queues may add some complexity to the final configuration. The following section discusses the set up the base install provides and changes as needed.
Step 1. Login as system Administrator
Step 2: Style (Install : Printer > Style)
Look for the âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ. This one is associated with the SRW Driver Called, âAPLASPâ (AP Laser printer format).
Step 3: Driver (Install : Printer > Driver).
     1. The âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ is associated with a âUser Driverâ of PORTRAIT for HPLJ4 and and a SRW driver of âAPLASPâ
     2. Also notice that there is an Initialization string at the bottom of it. This initialization string gets called as pre-report trigger for the APXPBFEG program (APXPBFEG.rdf) file. It sets the kind of format it should be. Please see the Appendix A for details on these printer pcl code translations. The Initialization string was as follows:
Initialization: /eE/e&l0o2a7C/e(s0P/e(8U
Step 4: Printer type (Install : Printer > Register)
Each printer type is associated with a set of styles. Make sure the printer that was selected has the above style and its associated driver listed against that.
Fig. 3 System Administrator Printer Seups
Step 5: Program Setup (Concurrent > Program > Define)
This step holds the key for check printing. It is necessary to define whether you need the check on top followed by the Stub or the other way around. The way it is controlled is based on the APXPBFEG.rdf, the report definition file and the APLASP.prt (Printer Style associate with the Portrait laser check format SRW driver). The APLASP.prt file ($FND_TOP/reports) has two identical setups called the 100 series and the 200 series. Those identical sets of setups define where the MICR and signature print on the check. The following table lists the some of the codes in the 100 series. Please refer to Doc ID #146452.1 for complete details.
Fig. 4 System Administrator Concurrent Program Definitions
CODE #     Code Definition
100     Electronic check activation string
101     1st Check #
102     2nd Check #
104     Deactivate check number mode string
111     Activate MICR line
112     MICR Deactivation / reset the printer head position
121     1st Signature
122     2nd Signature
141     Address font activation string
199     Return to default state string
Table 1. APLASP.prt -- MICR Activation Codes
The above code block repeats itself the same way in the 200 series. The decision to activate one way or the other controls the Check printing.
Step 2: Setting up the Option block
In the concurrent program definition for the APXPBFEL, there is an Options block in the middle. You need to list the codes that you want to activate. Please refer to Doc ID # 186640.1 for some explanation on these.
E.g.,
p_printer_code_mask="201,211,221,241" p_sig2_amount="" p_sig3_amount="" p_sig1_vendnum="" p_sig2_vendnum="" p_sig3_vendnum="" p_country_to_ignore="US" p_continuous_stationery="N"
Step 3: Output format is Text
Text format is sufficient, as the printer will pick up these escape sequences anyway.
Fig. 5 System Administrator Concurrent Program APXPBFEL Options Definition
UIPRINT.TXT, UIFONTS.ALI
One needs to be aware of a few more pieces in this puzzle. The UIPRINT.TXT identifies to the Oracle Applications the print queues that were setup. This file is needed to set your PCL / Post Script printer definitions. I did not have to really tinker with these files other than identifying the PCL and Post Script Qâs that were setup on the UNIX box.
Part II: Integrating all the pieces
The above setups are all documented in various articles. We need to understand a few more steps to see how all these pieces come together.
What you need to know about APXPBFEG.rdf
APXPBFEG (.rdf) is the report file which when called pulls the data from Oracle. If you open the APXPBFEG.rdf in the Oracle reports, there is initialization to the report called, SRW.Init. This will bring in the initialization string associated with the PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK driver definition file. Also, please be very careful with this report format file. When you open it, there is small tiny empty block. in the first block which calls the printer initialization code 100/200 under the Format Mask (from APLASP.prt). If this portion gets changed or messed up, one can end up with some unexpected results. Each of those blocks like MICR, CHECK etcâ¦ have associated format triggers and printer codes.
Please make sure that the printer mask is properly handled. I noticed that the 200 series MICR (211) and Signature (221) printer masks were tied to 111 and 121 respectively. These should have been 211 and 221. The other place you need to be careful was the printer code before and after is proper.
For E.g.,
For the MICR, the âprinter code before and after columns â should be 111 and 112 (or 211 / 212) respectively while Format Trigger should reference to 111 (211).
Fig. 6 APXPBFEG rdf file printer mask and Format Triggers
The escape sequences in the APLASP.prt file for these codes will play the crucial role in getting our format around the report output that gets generated from the APXPBFEG program. Please refer to the explanation of these escape sequence codes in the APPENDIX A.
At this point when you run the program, you will see that the formatted output report file will have all the initialization strings and the output associated with that. You can compare the fields and verify the results. Let us closely examine the parts of the 111 and 121 where the micr and signature prints. The key to this to code the escape sequences the right way to get the associate MICR and signature print out correctly.
Fig. 7 APXPBFEG rdf file MICR printer mask and Format Triggers
Code 111 and Code 112 from the APLASP.prt file.
I broke the line into pieces to illustrate the exact escape sequence code.

Summary
One can print their own checks using the above steps. This can work as a cost effective solution for small organizations where the budgetary constraints are tighter. We are successful in getting the AP Checks printed using the above method.

Book Printing Quality

I just finished a photo book in Aperture and thinking of getting it printed through Apple (Kodak).
Before sending, I would like to get some input on the book quality. Is it professional quality or .... ? ? ?
Any comments will help me make a decision whether go the Apple route.

That's good info to know because I was considering Blurb as well...
So I guess the only unanswered part of the question is: is there a difference in print quality betwee Aperture and iPhoto Books?
I would assume they are the same being printed via Apple's company (or hired printers)...
However since iPhoto is billed as a "Photo App for everyone", and Aperture is billed as "The Professional Photo App", maybe there is a difference in printers and thus print quality?
The Books seem to be more expensive in Aperture vs iPhoto... at least at first glance...

Invalid Color Management in Lightroom? (RAW)

I've noticed the strange thing, how Adobe Camera RAW 4.1.1 displays the same image differently in Photoshop CS3 & Lightroom 1.4.1
Here are the screenshots from both programs:
What I've got in Lightroom/develop mode:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/956c3d6537871
What I've got in Photoshop:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/17a67c6537874
Notice the reds on the face and oranges on the trees on the background. 1) Face on second, photoshop variant is more reddish. 2) The contrast differs as well!
3) There is more orange on the leaves on the second image.
That's all happens in the preview in Lightroom - if I export image as a JPEG and open it in Photoshop - the images will be the same. But BEFORE the export they're DIFFERENT! What's wrong?
(Image is shot on Sony Alpha 350, white balance and all the settings in Camera RAW are the same in two programs).

>yes they are, but in practice PDF causes lot's of bugs.
My experience is opposite in that pdf is usually the only thing that actually works for multipage documents and things containing vector graphics. For single page photos of course tiff always works, but there are lots of clueless operators that do not know their behind from a color profile.
>In my experience colors will be different even for an eye of a consumer. On some printers red will be more reddish, on others green more greenish etc. The contrast will differ either. Maybe you and we use different printers. BTW I work on Windows, maybe that's the point.
I have always had basically perfect results. There was a time when Lightroom interacted wrong with printer drivers when you used profiles inside of the program instead of having the printer driver manage for you. This has long been fixed. Of course there are subtle differences between printers and it would be good if Lightroom had some sort of soft proofing to judge this in advance. The differences are usually pretty minor though nowadays.
>Well, Noritsu, as I know, for example, uses its own color management profile, which you cannot tune even in Photoshop. If you use sRGB, it will be ignored, and you'll get a very low contrast print with desaturated color and you have to be there when it's printed to tune it with the lab assistant. Usually they do it themselves ... well... good. I have SOME good experience with Costco. But for many cases I can't get my colors and contrast without being there when it's printed. And it depends on paper - is it metallic, for example, or matte. The picture will be different. The colors will be different. And you can't check it exactly on your monitor being at home, or in office.
I tested this extensively. If you do this right, it is very hard to see the difference between a sRGB print and a print converted to the profile. With well-tuned Noritsus, you get a small difference in oranges, and a tiny difference in greens - independent of the paper you use. This is the whole point of these machines. If you feed them sRGB, they should give you great results. Maybe my local costcos is very good, but I doubt they are very different from other labs. I tried both Matte and Glossy and they both showed the same result. This is borne out by softproofing in Photoshop that shows exactly the same effect. Note that I wrote about using lab profiles with Lightroom extensively and always tell people to use the profile, but in reality it really is not that important.
See for example: http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2008/05/great-prints-from-labs.html
If you see large differences in contrast and saturation, there really is something wrong with your calibration workflow or your lab. FOr good prints, the only thing they need to do is to turn off their auto color correction, which with most labs you can do automatically in the online submission pages. I should tell you that you do have to judge prints under good lighting. Often these differences are simply caused by one day being sunny and the other overcast when you walk out on the parkinglot and take out your prints. This is not a real difference. Use a good high color rendering index lamp of high color temperature and you will see that they were the same. My local costcos is calibrated by drycreek photos every month and the profile hardly changes at all over time.
>I don't know, Jao, maybe your point in photography is different, and you don't pay so much attention on colors. These things are subjective! Maybe you pay more attention on other components of photo. In my experience it takes lots of time to prepare a 40"x30" photo for print and then it takes more time and money to colormatch it.
Actually my work is almost always about color. Perhaps I don't sweat it as much. I'd really like Lightroom to have some kind of soft proofing though showing how anal I am about color. I don't use costcos for prints larger than 12x18 as they don't do it locally, but I usually use smugmug's lab (EZprints) for the really large prints. They color manage for you and supply a profile that you can soft proof to if you want. They also appear to scale and sharpen the prints somehow. I've always had outstanding results from them and you can send back the images that you don't like at no cost, although I have never had to do that. I also use smugmug for galleries that clients can order from directly. They have always been very happy with the prints.
>And I work in Windows, maybe your Mac does it better, maybe that's the point of my sad story. But Windows is my karma for many reasons.
The point maybe, also, you print every time on the same printing hardware in Costco - that can explain it all.
I have been happy with my costcos and with EZprints, but I doubt that it is much of an issue. As said, I don't use inkjets very often as they are so darn expensive and annoying to operate but I have never had much issue with bad prints. There is no reason why you could not get windows to behave better. The only thing that you need is to calibrate regularly. I have seen on this forum that windows tends to corrupt monitor profiles over time. The issue is always fixed by recalibrating regularly. Once every month should be plenty.

What is the difference between these two instant ink printers?

Looking to get one of the HP instant ink printers from Best Buy. Either the Envy 4500 or the Envy 5530. There is a $20 diference and I did a side-by-side comparison of them on the Best Buy site, but the only difference I can notice is the 5530 seems to have more memory than the 4500 (128MB vs 32MB).
Print speeds and resolutions seem to be the same. The cheaper one (4500) also seems to be able to do two-sided printing & reduction/enlargement (which I would have thought to be on the more expensive mode). So are there any other real differences between these two or have I pretty much covered them all?

HI - great question, you identified a few of the differences. Some additional differences are:
4500 has a monochome display that is not touch enabled (you have to use scroll buttons on the side of the screen)
5300 has a touch enabled color display
Both printers can do duplexing (printing on both sides) and both have wireless.
We are excited about Instant Ink and hope you enjoy the service & whichever printer you chose!

What is the difference between laser, inkjet printers

Hi All.
I amlooking for a new printer, and I would like to know the difference between laser and inkjet?
What would be the best one to buy?
I would only use it for personal use, the odd document, downloading instructions and the occasional photographs, so nothing major like office use.
I bought a kodak one and have had nothing but trouble with it. so I'm looking for advise from other apple users as to what they would reccomend.
Thank you .
Tricia.

It depends on the model and brand of your printer, steve359.
For example my Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Wireless Allinone Model needs 1 Black Cartridge, 1 MAgenta, 1 Yellow, 1 cyan (Blue)
The entire ink cartridge set costs me between 35-40 Euro. However I can print about 1300-1500 pages b/w easily with 1 black cartridge. It is an eco printer. HP released a few printers with this super eco technology.
If I only buy the black cartridge it costs me 20 eur. I dont need to buy color cartridges that much. Although I sometimes print brochures on special glossy paper with high quality enabled with that printer. The quality is amazing as mentioned and I think I printed about 100 glossy paper brochure pages for several occasions wit hte current set of color cartridges and they are still half full.
For example in my partners office is a color laser printer. A huge professional printermonster. The toner cartridges cost about 80 eur per piece. And it needs black, yellow, cyan, magenta. 4 in total. And that printer cant print as many pages as my officejet inkjet printer with one set of cartridges. Also my printer manages to print up to 22 pages per minute at normal quality.
So speed is also no extra bonus for a laser instead of ink printer - at least in my case.
I think it depends highly on the model, brand. And one can check on the cartridge prices BEFORE deciding to buy a certain printer model. I find for example Lexmark and EPSON and Canon cartridges are overpriced. Certain HP cartridges are as well. Since they have that eco line there are matching cartridges at reasonable rates.
And then you should also ask yourself: how much do I print? Do I maybe need a printer that can handle a mch higher workload and therefore must or should be more economic at cost per page?
Tritzia here, is looking for a decent printer, that she can use for her average home printing needs. like printing one or two photos per month lets say, maybe 5. And a few letters she wants to send to friends, some emails maybe or an order/administrative form she dowloaded from a website. or birthday invitations she designed on her laptop for her children ( just assuming here tritzia ). So not at all heavy workload. In this case, she won't necessarily need a printer that provides super cheap cartridges. However not overpriced at the same time.
She wants decent printing quality for photos and self designed invitations or letters.
She does not care if the printer is superfast or not^^.
so steve, if your needs differ from hers, you will need a different printer. Maybe invest 200-300 eur into that new printer. Thats what I did. And I bought one that meets my needs 100%.
Summed up you can say, that you won't find a "cheap" printing printer at 60 eur.

Difference between mg35 series printers

Hi, Does anyone know the difference between mg35 series printers, like mg3540, mg 3570 etc?

there was a similar thread recently so a part of the question on how order series KF is read is in the reply there
Re: How Data is read from Live Cache when accessing SNP Planning Books
to delete time series KF you can do a couple of things
1. manually enter zero in the time series KF or Use the distribution function (calculator icon) to put a zero in all the CVCs (which is not a great idea if u have a lot of CVCs)
2. write a macro to make the KF= 0
3. Copy a zero value from a KF to the one you want to make zero using RTS copy
am sure there are a few other ways too
for deleting the oorder series KF, in addition to using the RLCDEL that uma mentioned , you also use few variants depending on what kind of orders they are(in some version Planned orders are not deleted by rlcdel)
for eg /SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER - for PPDS orders
/SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL - for SD orders
here are some alternate ways for deleting depending on how they are created
for deleting order type FA for example you can release a zero from DP
for delting orders that were created by BAPIs, rerun the same BAPIs with zero quantity

Difference between 7612 and 7510WF, a3 printers

Hi,
Is there any major differences between specification of a office jet 7612 and office jet 7510 WF printer. Both are a3 printers, the 7510wf seems to recently released whilst the 7612 is last years model.
As always, help much appreciated

Unless you actually have printers that only work with AppleTalk, then turn it off as it's not necessary. AppleTalk is present only for compatibility with older systems and printers that supported only AppleTalk. Contemporary hardware do not use AppleTalk so it's unnecessary and you can disable it.

We have 4 HP Photosmart printers in our office. Can't tell the difference when printing?

All 4 HP printers show up, we have employees with Iphones and Macbooks as well as PC. I'm wondering if there is a way to rename them so that we can differentiate front the print screen. Instead of printing and then trying to find the office that it printed in.

Hi,
You may change the Bonjour broadcasted name from the printer Embeded Web Server.
First, locate the printer IP Address ny clicking the Setup icon and then click Network or Wireless.
Enter the printer URL from your browser to access the Embedded Web Server.
Click the Network tab.
Under Advanced Settings, click Bonjour.
Change the Bonjour Broadcast Name according your needs. the configured name will appear on any Macbook or iPhone.
If you are not able to locate the printer IP Address, please clarify the exact printer model for further details.

What is the difference between the 7640 and the 7645 printers

I am trying to find out the difference between the HP Envy 7640, and the HP Envy 7645, can anyone tell me?

Like previously stated, refurbished can mean many things. Someone may buy a camera and when they get it have buyers remorse and return it unused, but, once Canon gets it back they have to completely check it out to make sure it meets specs and then they sell it as refurbished. You might get a camera with 0 shutter actuations but you might get one with 1000 or more shutter actuations. Either way Canon completely rechecks each camera before they sell it. I have bought 2 refurbished DSLRs from Canon and they have both been great cameras. You couldn't tell if they had ever been used or not. Recently Canon started offering a 1 year warranty on refurbished DSLRs but I am not sure if that applies to other models or not.

Difference between Photosmart 5524 and Photosmart 5520 printers

I bought a Photosmart 5524 printer 6 months ago. It had to be returned for repair and a replacement printer was returned. The replacement printer is a Photosmart 5520.
What is different between the two models of printer? Are there any specifications of each model that highlight these differences that I could print off?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi,
The Photosmart 5520 and 5524 are actually the same product and its specifications are identical.
Both of the devices are sub models of the same product series.
You may find its specification below, as you may see listed the same specs apply for both of the models:

Windows 8 Add a Device not finding all of my IP printers

Hello all. My organization is migrating to Windows 8. We currently use IP printers in our offices (24 locations total). Currently, in XP, we have a customized powershell script that allows users to locate a printer and install it. In windows
8, we'd like users to be able to click Add a Device.... scan the network, see their printer, and install it. Im testing this on a subnet in the main office with a few test machines running Windows 8.
The problem is, when i click Add a Device, only 3 printers show up (there should be a dozen or so). I have tried to compare the settings on the printers that show up to those that do not, but i dont see any differences. I have tweaked the settings
on several of the printers with no affect. We have a few different models, HP 4345 all-in-ones, 4700 color laserjets, 4300 laserjets, and 4515 laserjets. We also have some Xerox 9203 and 5790 models. Only the Xerox 9203 and HP 4515 printers
show up.
I have tried using some of the settings discussed here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/58d7ca0e-f7f9-4a2b-937a-929d393ccf0a/windows-7-computers-cant-find-hp-printers-on-network?forum=w7itpronetworking
but still nothing. Hoping someone else has some experience with this type of thing and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi,
Considering that the issue is caused by network issue.
Please firs try to ping the IP of the printer which doesn't display.
If it fails, we can see that the printer is not configured correctly on the network, please reset it again.
If we can ping the printer IP successfully, please try if we can install the printer via the UNC address: \\host\computerIP.
If your device has a wireless switch, make sure it’s turned on. The switch could be on the front, back, or side, and it could be small and unmarked. Check the info that came with your device to see if a picture shows where it’s located.
Post back the testing results.

Printers suddenly lose wireless connection often

I have two HP printers in my house, a Photosmart 6520 and 5520.
They were both working just fine for a year at least, and I've had other HP printers in the past that I used wirelessly with no issues.
Within the last month, I've been having major issues. My computers and iOS devices frequently cannot see the printers anymore. The thing that works somtimes is going to the printer, turning off the wirless conenction and then turning it back on. Often times this will result in the docment printing.
There are some times when even this doesn't work so I go and restore all the defaults and start over. Not fun.
I didn't change anything with my home network recently that would affect this. The modem and AirPort Extreme have been the same for over a year.
I saw the video about how to give the printer a static IP using Windows 7 but I'm all Mac here. I'm not sure if that affects anything.
I'd love to know how to resolve this but I'm about ready to try another brand of printer all together.

Hi,
Can you see the printer disconnects from the network (the blue wireless light blinks) or may it lit solid but it is not available from your Mac?
The reason I ask, Apple devices uses Bonjour wihch relies on multicasting, a router may won't transfer multicasting packets correctly.
Try rebooting your router by unplugging its power for 10 seconds, then allow it 3 minutes to start.
Now reboot your printers and check if you may see any difference.
