Has anyone printed to a HP Laserjet 1160 or Officejet 725?

I cannot get my Macbook to print (wirelessly) to either of these printers that are on my network.
I see them there, but both just print out garble, and lots of pages of it.
I was at the Apple store on my ProCare membership, and the genius installed a Mac driver for the 1160, and a generic post script for the 725.
Got home, same thing.
Is it possible these 2 printers are not Mac compatible?
If you have any tips, I'd appreciate them. Just keep em simple as I'm a Mac newbie and although I've been around Windows for many years, I only know enough to get me by
  Mac OS X (10.4.6)

  • Has anyone printed 2 per page?

    I've been using A3 successfully since day 1, and printed dozens of images of various sizes. Now I've tried to print 2ea 5x7 on letter size, and no luck. I made a custom preset, but when I try to print it hangs up in "processing" mode. If I cancel, it hangs up in "cancel" mode. Only way to recover is to force quit. I reported to Apple, but would like to know if anyone has been able to get it to work.

    Printing more than one image to a single sheet of paper is broken in Aperture 3. See this thread (skip to my last message in the thread for the latest info):

  • Has anyone fixed wireless printing to HP LaserJet 1015 via AEBS Snow

    Dear All
    I've searched the forums, read numerous posts by HP Mac Architect (thanks BTW for your amazing efforts), tried various things, and still can't get wireless printing back on my HP LaserJet 1015.
    My set up is:
    Intel Core Duo 20" iMac, 10.6.1, running latest version 2.2 HP drivers (383Mb download)
    Airport Extreme Base Station Snow, running firmware 5.7
    HP LaserJet 1015 connected to the USB port of AEBS
    Worked in 10.5.8. Absolutely nothing in 10.6.1 - not an initial page, nothing after resets or restarts, nothing. It has also scuppered wireless printing to the 1015 from another iMac on the network running Leopard 10.5.8.
    I have tried the following:
    1) Usual stuff - restart AEBS, restart computer, switch off printer, unplug AEBS 30 seconds, reconnect printer
    2) Deleting all HP stuff from Library/Printers, Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/Resources, System/Library/Extensions, restarting, reinstalling HP drivers version 2.2, re-adding printer
    3) Add the printer via Bonjour, using plain driver, Gutenprint driver
    4) Add the printer via IP printing, HP JetDirect - Socket, using address of base station +/- the port, using either plain driver or Gutenprint driver
    5) Tried the ipstat stuff in the terminal to get CUPS to accept the URI
    6) Tried downgrading firmware of AEBS to 5.6 then 30s off, then back to 5.7, 30s off, then re-add the printer
    The error messages I get:
    Initially 'communication failure'
    Then 'client-error-not-possible' from the other iMac
    Now mainly 'unable to open device (read failure)'
    I have yet to try the HPIJS drivers but before I do so has anyone else had any success or tried any other things I've not mentioned?
    Do I need to wait till 10.6.2 or buy a new N base station or buy a new printer or what?
    Thanks in advance

    mwong,
    At the moment, there is no way I know of to get the LaserJet 1015 printing through the USB port any Airport base station that isn't running a firmware version of 7.4.2 (ie an 802.11N compatible Airport). Some people have had some luck on newer G's running 6.3, but I haven't seen anyone report success with 5.7 yet. At the moment, there is nothing we can do from our end to fix the issue.
    Just trying to help.

  • Has anyone successfully gotten an HP Color Laserjet 2600n to print from OSX Lion?

    I have it installed by IP address with the drivers that Apple Update provided. When I send a print job to it, the status shows that it's connected and printing and the little sideways barber pole is screwing away, but the job never prints. As a matter of fact, the printer never even starts its warm-up cycle. Has anyone gotten this printer to work on a bone stock OSX Lion 10.7 image?  This iMAC 27 is brand-freakin-new.
    I have absolutely no printing issues from any of the 5 (cringe) - Windows 7 machines in the house.
    Thanks for looking. I hope to have some helpful response soon.

    KJameZzZ179 and  PAHU - I appreciate you guys taking the time out of your busy schedules to help me. I pinged the printer and it replied. I pulled up its web interface and the gateway and subnet settings matched the settings on my iMac.  I opened a PDF and sent it to the printer successfully. I don't know what the hold up was, and while I am glad that I can print now, I am equally disappointed that I wasn't able to find the root of the problem so we could provide an answer to anyone else in the future that might have had the same problem.  Thanks again for your responses and willingness to help.

  • I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn... Has anyone resolved this issue??

    I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn...
    Since I changed OX to Mavericks, my macpro does not connect to the HP printer (laserJet P2055dn)
    Has anyone had this issue? Anyone resolved this??

    How do you force the printer driver to reinsall?
    I delete the printer and re-added, but nothing changes.
    All the forums topics concerning driver updates reference the App Store, but I cannot find anything there.
    Nor I can download the driver from the vendor website, as it also redirects me to the App Store, where nothing happens.
    I am new to Mac, so the question may be a silly one.
    Thank you for your help.

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

  • My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.

    My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages. 
    Help?
    Using Windows XP (Home Version)
    Product # CB419A

    Could be a number of issues.  First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper.  Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test.  When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing.  Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum.  If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues.  Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test.  Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it.  If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter.  If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues.  You may have to bring the printer in for service.

  • Has anyone had a problem with a deskjet 3910 printer with the power light flashing?

    The power light keep flashing and the printer won't print but it isn't giving an error message. I ran a diagnostic on it and the message it gave under device status was:
    HP Print Diagnostic Utility has detected there is a pen failure that needs to be addressed before printing will be successful.
    I can't find anywhere that tells what this problem is or how to correct it. Has anyone else come across this problem?

    would putting up a metal shield by the meter help?
    It might, as long as the shield is grounded. Metallic (such as copper) window screen is often sufficient.
    As mentioned, it would not hurt to file a complaint. The burden of proper shielding should probably belong to Pepco. Among other things, the FCC frowns upon RF leakage and its interfereing with radio communications. Besides, Pepco probably would not want you to affix a shield around their gear - liability issues, etc.
    You could experiment by temporarily hanging a shield-screen on the inside of the wall, behind where the meter transmitter device is located, and see if there is any beneficial change.

  • HAS ANYONE HAD A PROBLEM WITH WIRELESS PRINTING ERROR RASTER FILE FAILED

    My printer displays error message - opening raster file failed.  Has anyone had this happen?

    Lightroom should recognize your camera (assume it's LR3 or later) automatically without pointing it to the DCIM directory. The files you are referring to is system file I think and not the photos; thus OS cannot read the file.
    Do you have a card reader? For some reason, if you connect your camera into Lightroom directly, sometimes LR doesn't show the preview of your images. Instead you'll get ? next to a gray box. If you don't have a card reader, just plug your camera in, ignore the ? and the gray box (this is LR problem, not your camera), then import them anyway. You should see your test shot once it's done importing.

  • Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?

    I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
    Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?

    Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)

  • Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

    Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

    John -
    My "Use" menu only contains Apple print drivers.  And Canon drivers, from the location I set this machine up.  None for my home use....which is a Xerox machine.
    Not being on the menu, I don't know how to acquire this generic driver. 
    Any further helpful hints?
    I appreciate your thoughts and help.

  • Has anyone gotten an official fix from EPSON for printing on CD/DVD's?

    To re-iterate the problem, I am unable to normally print CD/DVD's with my EPSON R220 printer after installing Leopard.
    I get the following message:
    "The EPSON printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed"
    After hitting OK, you get brought to (what I call) the EPSON CD Print window which lets you edit Color Correction and Print Position but the "Print" button is grayed out.
    I can use the workaround I found in these discussions (thank you by the way) by hitting "Manual Print" from this window and select A4 for paper size and I'm able to print using the CD tray as normal.
    But has anyone heard back from EPSON with an official fix?
    Thank you.

    I spoke to EPSON support via the phone today.
    They said that the "Manual Print" option button is available due to the Easy Print software they released early November. This is their workaround and they said they are working on a real solution but it's just not available yet.

    Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?

  • Printing in adobe with a laserjet 1160

    I am trying to print an adobe file on a laserjet 1160 and no matter what selections I choose on Adobe or on the printer, the document prints wil a small margin on all four sides.  The margins are built into the doc so the printer is actually resizing it for me.
    how can I disable this feature? 

    Thanks Greg Sahli, your suggestion worked.
    The whole Laserwriter8 thing in Classic I found confusing. When selected, I got the message that Laserwriter8 requires AppleTalk. Please make sure you are connected to an AppleTalk network. Then I select Appletalk and get the message: AppleTalk can't be opened. To turn on AT, open network preference & click on AT. Then I went to the control panel & got message: That application is not supported by AT. Then I just gave up and went back to my Classic Application and as you suggested there was my C88 printer to print to. Anyhow, it PRINTS! Thanks.

  • Has anyone got a belkin f1up0002uk print server working with OS X 10.4.10

    I've got an HP all-in-one printer and want to share it wirelessly with my Macs and PCs. I've got a netgear wireless router/access point. I've just bought a belkin print server (model # f1up0002uk) but this appears to be windows only compatible.
    Before opening the belkin box I did a search on the internet - I couldn't find anything specific on this model of router working with a Mac.... however, from my research I get the feeling it should be possible to get it working on a Mac through IP printing.
    Has anyone used this print server with a Mac and got it working? Failing that, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    VP

    Greg,
    Thanks for your response. It turns out that my original fears were unfounded.
    Installing the print server was very straight foward and after getting it working on one of my XP boxes I was able to install it on my MacBook using *Print & Fax* ---> *IP Printer* ---> Protocol ---> _Line Printer Daemon - LPD_ ---> Address ---> _Belkin Print Server IP Address_.
    I checked to see if OS X provided a driver for my all-in-one printer (HP PSC 2175) and the following page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057 said there was one but it wasn't available in my printer pull down list. Further research through HP revealed that other drivers could be used and fortunately there were Gimp-Print 5.0.0 beta 2's available so I used the HP 500C driver.
    I also had to reserve the IP address of the print server on my wireless (Netgear) router but I left DHCP on for the rest of my devices.
    The end result is that the Belkin Print Server now works across my mixed Mac and PC network. Unfortunately I'm not able to use the scanner through my Macs but this isn't an issue as my priority was to share printing. I should also mention that the Belkin manual also includes instructions for Unix/Linux and OS X, although this is not stated on the box.
    VP.
