Finding a printer using IPAddress

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me how to find a printer in the network using its IPAddress and then print a document to it (probably a PDF).
I cannot use the printer name, but I know the IPAddress and that its present in the network.
Thank you,

I agree that used is the way to go, I recommend looking locally and make sure you can return it if it doesn't work for you.
I don't know if you can do this with thrift shops where you are, but I have had good luck with my local Goodwill thrift store when I wanted to get a printer for my daughter. I found a very nice Epson 740 that I already had the driver CD for, because I owned one, and that I know will work with OS 9.whatever. I cheated and brought a Wallstreet with the driver already installed to the store, so I could test it, and the printer cable. (I was getting the printer to go with a Wallstreet so there would be no USB.) I would imagine, although I have not checked, that most older printer drivers would still be available online to download from the manufacturers' websites.
I don't know if you need to update to OS 9.2, it wouldn't hurt, but it would definitely be a good idea to get up to OS 9.1, it's much more "finished". I still use 9, I like it a lot and I still don't think it was broken or unstable or any or that. The only reason I'm using X 10.4 is because that's what came on my iMac G5!

  • Can not find air printer - using epson wf 3520 connected via wifi

    Hardware: macbook air
    Software: Osx 10.9.5
    Epson printer wf3520 connected via wifi is working - latest printer software installed
    -when trying to add an air printer sometimes its showing up under bonjour - usually its not showing as available printer
    -when it is installed and I try to print I get the message "printer not connected"
    Any help how to install it correctly?

    Hi wolfgangfromhildesheim,
    If you've gone through the article that Allen provided, have gotten through to the step where you reset your printing system, and the issue persists, then the next step in the article is for you to contact the printer manufacturer for further assistance.
    If you're unable to print
    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
    Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
    Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
    Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
    Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.

  • My iPad shows a message "Cannot find AirPrint printer". I used to use my iPad to print materials using HP wireless printer D110. Now it does not want to print. Is this because I am now using IOS 7? What should I do to solve the problem? Help please.

    Restart your WiFi router and printer by removing power for 30 seconds.

  • Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7.  Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

    1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
    2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds

    4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

  • Should I  be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1?  My iPad can't find the printer.  Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

    Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1?  I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer.  But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago.  Suggestions??

    Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it.  So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
    There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

  • Find and print illegal character in a string using regexp

    I have the following simple regexp that checks for illegal characters in a string:
    String regexp = ".*([\\[\\];]+|@).*"; // illegal: [ ] ; @
    String input = "Testing [ 123";
    System.out.println(Pattern.matches(regexp, input));How can I find and print the character that is invalid??
    I've tried using the Matcher class togheter with Pattern but cant get it to work. :(
    Like this:
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regexp);
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
    matcher.lookingAt();
    int matchedChar = matcher.end();
    if (matchedChar < input.length()) {
        String illegalCharFound = String.valueOf(input.charAt(matcher.end()));
        System.out.println(illegalCharFound);
    }What am I doing wrong?

    1. You call lookingAt(), but you don't check its return value, so you don't know if the regex actually matched.
    2. matcher.end() returns the index of the character following whatever was matched, assuming there was a match (if there wasn't, it will throw an exception). So either it will point to a legal character, or you'll get a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException because an illegal character was found at the end of the input. The start() method would be a better choice, but...
    3. Your regex can match multiple consecutive square brackets or semicolons (and why not put the at-sign in the character class, too?), but you're acting like it can only match one character. Even if there is only one character, group(1) is an easier way to extract it. Also, if there are more than one (non-consecutive) illegal characters, your regex will only find the last one. That's because the first dot-star initially gobbles up the whole input, then backtracks only as far as it has to to satisfy the rest of the regex. If your goal is to provide feedback to whoever supplied the input, it's going to be pretty confusing feedback. You should probably use the find() method in a loop to pick out all the illegal characters so you can report them properly.

  • PageMill3 wont do ftp upload or find printer using new extreme base station

    Hello,
    I am still trying to use Adobe PageMill 3.0 to upload to my website.
    It worked fine with the old dial up modem.
    But it won't upload now via the airport extreme & BTL cable.
    It does open the website folder but fails to establish a data connection.
    Also it doesn't find the printer attached to the base station.
    Any ideas please.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Ken..

    Glyn,
    Money!
    Thanks for the ideas. The 802.11b/g compatible setting was correct and I should have written that in my original post.
    The original channel was 11. I manually changed it to 6 and, lo and behold, the older MacBook could see the network.
    Thanks for the ideas and the help.

  • Cannot load printer driver -- direct USB to HP Laserjet 1020. OSX finds the printer, but "Print Using" will not accept the driver. I downloaded from HP, installed the DMG and PKG. Things looks OK, but Print Using: won't accept the driver. Please help !

    Sorry for the long title -- I am new to this forum.
    This should be SIMPLE -- just trying to get old Mac G4 desktop to print on directly attached (USB) HP Laserjet 1020.
    Several online sources say the HP drivers for Laserjet 1022 work fine ...
    I deleted all printers, installed the HP drivers (all prompts indicate it is installed fine), re-connected the printer by USB. OSX recognizes the printer and auto-populates its name in the Name: box, puts "desktop" in the Location: field ... and the Print Using: field is gray, saying "Please select a driver or printer model"
    I click the arrow to expand options, choose Other ... and get a selection box for identifying the driver. I open the folder with the PKG file and click it ... and then find myself back at the printer setup with the the Print Using: field still gray, and still saying "Please select a driver or printer model."
    I have tried this process a half-dozen times with re-starts in between --- cannot get past this sticking point -- aargh !
    Any advice would be welcome. Thank you !

    Hi, no apologies needed, the new forums are the worst iteration so far!
    Anyway, getting old here, but I think I have an hp 1022 at work that works fine in 10.3, 10.4, & 10.5.
    Try this & let us know the outcome...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.

  • Printing using IPP with linux

    I'm trying to print to my airport extream connected printer from linux. I thought I could set it up as an IPP printer. I was wondering if anyone knew the uri of the printer. I have another ipp print server which has a uri of http://ipaddress/lp. I was hoping that someone knew a similar address for the airport.
    I also tried setting it up as a TCP printer using the ip address as the address and both 9100 and 631 as ports and it could not find the printer.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The Airport Extreme "print server" does not support the IPP printing protocol, nor does it support the LPR printing protocol. It only supports raw printing to port 9100, sometimes called the "JetDirect" protocol.
    You didn't provide much detail about your network setup - but make sure you are sending the port 9100 data to the correct IP address of the Airport Base Station. On a basic setup where the Base Station acts as the router for your entire network, it will be at 10.0.1.1. This will not be the case if the Base Station is being used in any other manner on an existing cabled or wireless network.

  • AIO remote cannot find my printer HP 3520

    Printer is on the same network, I can access the printer's admin page via a web browser (by typing the IP), but AIO remote app or the HP Utility app on my MacBook Air cannot detect the printer at all.

    Hi Joesly,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I  gather that you are unable to print from your MacBook Air to your HP 3520 printer and that the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app is not finding the printer.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
    What make/model/product number of HP printer do you have (there are 9 different 3520 model printers)? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
    What version of Mac OS X are you using on your MacBook Air? OS X: Finding your OS version and build information
    Have you installed the full feature software and driver for the printer or are you using the basic driver built into Mac OS X?
    What device have you downloaded and installed the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app on?
    Thank you.

  • How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

    Dear All,
    We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
    We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
    Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
    I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
    Regards,
    KrishnaKumar S

    Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

  • Cannot find AirPrint printer PhotoSmart 6510

    I want to add a new HP6510 wireless printer onto my iMac, iPad2 and iPhone 4s, but it does not appear in either the list of printers in settings or list of AirPrint printers.
    I have an iMac running Lion (OS X v 10.7.2), and both iPad and iPhone are update on IOS 5.0.1.  All three are connected to the same home wireless network (all access internet okay and are assigned an IP address 192.168.1.**).  The router is an N-series HUAWEI EchoLife HG532 on firmware v1.08a.  I am using MAC filtering on an open SSID.
    I have downloaded latest version of software for the HP printer and installed software, but not able to find the printer unless connected via USB.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least three times, rebooted the network router, iMacs, iPhone and iPads
    Please help - I was hoping this would be much simpler having just migrated over from windows.

    You'll want to contact tech support for your router. The iPad and iPhone use Bonjour (mdns) in order to find printers. A google search on your router shows that it does not properly support Bonjour:

  • Cannot find network printer

    I have the following problem:
    I want to use a printer (HP Officejet 5600 series) in a Windows network. My MacBook is connected to this network by AirPort to a Netgear router. Unfortunately my MacBook cannot find the printer.
    Can anybody help?

    Is the printer connected to a P, or directly to the router? Connected via USB or parallel port? If connected to the router, I assume the router has built in print server?
    My HP is connected to an Apple Extreme via USB which built in print server. In the Mac, I went to System Preferences, then Print and Fax. When I clicked on the little "+" button on the bottom left (to add a printer), Bonjour was able to find the printer off the Extreme server.
    But, I am currently having problems with it - used to work, now quit printing!

  • My ipad doesn't find my printer....

    How do I make my hp 3510 discoverable to my ipad? The wireless printing works from my laptop which has the same wifi settings, but the ipad cannot find the printer????

    Hi Kiwisteve77,
    I understand the Ipad doesn't find the printer.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    Try turning the wi-fi off and on again on the Ipad.
    If that doesn't work turn the Ipad off and on again.
    Check to make sure it is connected to the proper network.
    Power cycle the router, Ipad and the printer and try it again if you are still having issues.
    I have provided a document for How to Use Apple's AirPrint Over a Wireless Network. Go to the section What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?
    Hope this helps.
