Finally able to Print from Both my computers

For the first time since I owned my HP Officejet 6500 E709n wireless printer it is finally able to print from both my computers. I have it connected to my PC and I could always print from it but I wanted to print share it with my Notebook and I could never get it to work from my Notebook. I have put so much effort in getting the printer to print from both computers; I can’t begin to estimate how many hours went into that effort. Today I was going to throw this printer out and go buy a different brand. But I gave it one last effort and was directed to use the tool HP Print and Scan Doctor from your site in the Printer Networking and Wireless section and wonders of all wonders I can print from my Notebook and I am not getting any error messages and it seems to finally be installed correctly. Hope it continues to print from both computers I have my fingers crossed. Thank you.

Printing From Both OS 10.3 and OS 9.2

Ever since I installed OS 10 I have been unable to print any of my OS 9 type files. I have had several attempts to locate a printer driver for my existing Epson 850 that will support both Systems but to no avail.
Is the Epson 850 driver out there to allow me to print from both opperating systems? -or- do I just byte the bullet and buy a new printer, and if so is there a good printer under $150.00 that will print from both systems.
Thanks

Mac OS 9 continues the long Mac tradition of drawing and printing with QuickDraw. It initially had extensions to support PostScript printers, and later different extensions to support InkJet printers that were based on protocols other than QuickDraw or PostScript.
Mac OS X is based on a Display PostScript drawing and printing model. The drivers to support printers are either PostScript, or an emulation of PostScript. Therefore, the drivers required for Mac OS X are different from those required previously.
A major player like Epson should be able to provide you with a Driver for Mac OS 9, and a Driver for Mac OS X, but they will not be the same Driver. If you look very critically at their Web Site, I am sure you will find both of the drivers you require for your printer.

No longer able to print from wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280

I originally piggy-backed this onto an existing thread thinking that it was the same issue. It looks like it was something else now, so I figured I probably ought to spin this off onto its own thread.
Details:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, IP address 192.168.1.5 (confirmed with Network Menu > View Network Settings > Display Wired Summary)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
Desktop: iMac with Mac OS 10.5.8, Ethernet connection. I originally installed the HP software from the CD when we got the 7280 a few years ago, but we've probably upgraded it since then.
My Laptop: MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8, wireless connection. I think the HP software was originally downloaded from hp.com (as opposed to the original CD).
Wife's Laptop: MacBook with Mac OS 10.6.3, wireless connection. HP software downloaded from hp.com.
We've been able to print from the laptops to the 7280 until several days ago. After that, anything sent from the laptops stayed on the printer queue without any reaction from the printer, even after the usual tricks (cycling power on printers, holding and unholding jobs, pausing and unpausing printers, etc.)
Our laptops seem to lose the wireless connection a bit more frequently than normal, and at first I thought that was the problem. Lately, however, I can't get anything to print even when the wireless connection stays solid. I can print from the iMac, though.
As noted above, my wife's MacBook has 10.6.3, so I'll try the instructions on other threads for uninstalling the HP software and using the built-in 10.6 drivers. If I can pry the MacBook away from my wife long enough :-)
Meanwhile, I've been trying to troubleshoot my own MacBook Pro. I can ping 192.168.1.5, and I can pull up the printer's web page by entering "192.168.1.5" in my web browser.
So I followed the instructions here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam e=c01893662&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&c...
(title: Mac OS X: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue and Will Not Print on a Networked Product)
I followed Solution 1 (Delete and readd printer) until I got to steps 7 and 8. The printer wasn't automatically added to the Printers list, so I clicked the Add button, but wasn't able to select my printer from the list. Some of the information in Solution 2 seemed to hint that I had a connectivity problem, and suggested that I look for network connectivity solutions. Unfortunately, all of the network connectivity FAQs referred to Windows-specific utilities, so I decided to uninstall the HP software (using HP Uninstaller). I downloaded HP_Installer_PSC7200_v9.7.1.dmg from hp.com and ran it, but here's what happened:
At the Select Device step, no devices appeared even though the printer was powered up and on the network. (As noted earlier, I can ping it.) I checked "My device is not listed" and clicked Continue; when "Photosmart C7200 series" appeared, I selected it.
At the "Select the Device Connection" subset, I selected "Network." (The "device" in this question is the printer--right?)
I went through the Install step.
No device was listed at the Setup step. I handled this the same way as the Select Device step ("My device is not listed", Continue, click "Photosmart C7200 series", Continue, select "Network", Continue.
This time, I got this dialog: "If your device is not listed, it is not supported by this installer. Please visit www.hp.com/support to download an installer, if one is available" even though this was the correct installer for C7200 and Mac 10.5.
Am I overlooking something? What should I try next?
This question was solved.

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.

User not able to print from SAP

Hi guys,
User is not able to print from SAP. The printer is directly connected to his PC. It is not a network printer. The user is able to print at OS level perfectly. IN SP01, it shows in green and the print job has been completed successfully. I can see the output request. Its all fine in SAP. I am not sure why it is not printing from SAP. Please help ?
Thanks

hi venkata,
did you already defined your printer on SAP Server using tcode SPAD ?
What kind of printing you're using ?
My suggest for simplest one is create new output devices.
Type tcode SPAD
Give simple name
Choose SAPWIN for device type (if you're using WIndows clients)
On Access Method tab
Choose Host Spool Access Method F : Front end Printing or G :
For Host Printer fill with __DEFAULT (remember double underscore)
save and test it.

Since early August I cannot print from my Mac Firefox 3.6.9 but I can print from Safari and want to be able to print from Firefox.

On August 6, my ability to print from Firefox 3.6.9 on my iMac to my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 which had been working beautifully till then stopped completely. I learned I could print from Safari, but for various reasons, including the fact Safari is not really compatible with the Learning Platform Angel, I need to be able to print from Firefox -- which I use all the time and like.

1. Buy a AirPrint enabled printer; see list below

2. Run the CD provided and setup as network printer; this will setup your printer to the same network as your iPad

3. Start printing from your iPad without wire

I used to be able to print from ipad and iPhone and now it doesn't why?, I used to be able to print from ipad and iPhone and now it doesn't why?

I used to be able to print from my ipad and iphone5 but can't now. Why?

does it not show a printer when you use airprint? were you using airprint or a thirdparty app to print? Some basic steps would to be power cycle your iPad and iPhone and also the printer, and make sure they are all on the same wireless network if you are using air print.

I'm trying to share a new Canon printer wirelessly between my HP laptop and my iMac. I've successfully printed from both computers, but, I get errors trying to print on one after I've printed on the other. Any ideas on how to get them to both to print?

I installed a new Canon printer several months ago that I was told by the salesman could be shared between my iMAC and HP laptop. I have successfully used the printer wirelessly from both computers, however, it gets hung up switching between the two and I'm not sure what to do to get it to be consistent. Any ideas?

You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

Access Printer from both desktop and laptop

Can i install a HP Photosmart 5510 on my desktop using the usb connection, and access the same printer from my laptop using wifi? Desktop is XP Pro and Laptop isn 64 bit Windows 7.

You can, but why? The 5510 is a network-able printer. Connect it wirelessly to your wireless router and be able to print AND scan from both computers.
Sharing via USB will only sharing printing, not scanning. It is hard to set up and the host computer can never go to sleep!
