Help Choosing Laserjet Printer

I am looking to buy a printer but need help!
My main reasons for use would be to print (1) photos (2) word documents (3) scanning in a home office use.
The quality of the print is most important to me, the cost of cartridges providing quality Is good is not an issue nor is the price of the printer.
We have iPods and iPhones and an iMac and I would like to be able to send documents to the printer from all of these. We use satellite broadband.
I would like help from anyone who can suggest printers for me.
Thank you!!!

Are you looking for a commercial or consumer-ended printer? For a small business or office laserjet I'd suggest the LaserJet Pro M1217nfw. For a multifunction laserjet it should take care of all that you need done.
Here's a link to the home and home office page for it:

I'd reocmmend taking a look at the support sections and reviews to make sure it would suit your needs as well.

Need help choosing a printer/scanner - any help appreciated!

I have a Pixma MP560 printer and a Canoscan 9950F scanner. My printer is having issues and was told by support need to replace it. My Canoscan 9950F scanner hasn't been used in years (hardly ever used before either) but it is no longer supported and doesn't work with Yosemite (no updated available). I want to scan hundreds of photos from my photo albums (and also have a good printer). What is the best all-in-one printer/scanner to do this? I want good quality scans on my photos and am not sure what resolution I need (was told should scan at 300 DPI - is that right?) - the quality of these photos is important in case I would want to print them out in the future, etc. Can I get by with an all-in-one printer/scanner or am I best off going with a cheaper printer and getting another canoscan? The ink cartridges for the MP560 are relatively expensive also - and found that cheaper refilled cartridges cause harm to the printer. What is my best options for this set-up without costing an arm and leg for print cartridges, etc. Thanks in advance for any and all opinions/help and feel free to ask any other questions - Oh, I use a Macintosh computer also.

Hello. The most comparable replacement to the MP560 would be the PIXMA MG6620. This unit will be able to perform high quality photo printouts, document printouts and also perform scans. More information on this unit can be found at this link. If you plan on scanning film, our latest film scanner would be the CanoScan 9000F Mark II. More information can be found at this link.

HP LaserJet Printer Help

     I'm running Mountain Lion on my iMac and am attempting to connect an HP LaserJet 2420 Printer to it vie ethernet cable. The printer is detected by the computer, and the software downloads fine, but it gets stuck on the screen "configuring device." I have let it go for up to two hours with no results. I also tried the same printer on another iMac, also on Mountain Lion, and got the same result. I have tried installing different drivers to no avail. I know the printer works because Ican get it to print things like a usage page or menu commands straight from the printer itself. Can anybody assist me on getting it set up properly?

Help! Problems printing to HP Laserjet printer

OK we've had an imac for several months and haven't had any problems. Recently, we can no longer print multiple jobs from our HP Laserjet printer. I believe the printer and the imac still recognize each other, but the print job seems to get "hung up" and never prints. It shows in the print que, but the status never changes. The only thing that seems to work is turning the printer on and off, but then it only prints 1 print job and then all other print jobs get "hung up" again.

"according to the system profile it says its an iMac 11, 2"
You have a much newer iMac than those covered in this forum, which is for iMacs made prior to Jan 2006. You'll feel more at home posting your question in the forum for current iMacs here:
iMac (Intel)
If someone here fails to notice you have the newer model, it's possible they could give you advise for the older ones that doesn't apply to yours. Not your fault--it's due to an unfortunate choice of forum labels.

How do I get my HP M1217nfw LaserJet printer to work with Mountain Lion

I have an HP LaserJet M1217nfw printer and a new Mac Mini with Mountain Lion. I need to print wirelessly. I updated the printer's firmware, but still get an error message saying "You need to install software to use this printer.To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer." There is no software update available from Apple. HP says they do not have a driver for Mountain Lion. Help!

The printer already shows up in my printers when I go to preferences. In the link you gave me,
Under Nearby Printers , click the name of your printer.NOTA:Make sure that the printer kind is Bonjour or Bonjour Multifunction .
Click the Use box, and then select AirPrint from the pop-up menu if it is not selected already.figura 1: Selecting an AirPrint printer in the Add window
I do not have the option of "Nearby Printers, and do not have the screen shown in the screen shot where I can click "use" and select "AirPrint".

HP Laserjet printer connected to my Airport Express?

I have bought a HP Laserjet printer and I want to connect it to my Airport express, so I can print wireless. I have my Airport express installed and connected to my router via Ethernet cabel and I the printer is connected to the Airport station by a USB cable. But my Macbook Pro can't find the printer when I search for it? What might the problem be?
Hope someone can help!

The problem may be that the AirPort Express does not support your printer model. Not all printers are supported, and Apple tends to favor popular, lower priced All-in-One devices for USB support.
On your Mac....open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Hopefully, your printer model will appear. If it does, click on the name of the printer to highlight it, then click Add to install the printer at the location of the AirPort Express
Try to print. Be sure to select the correct location of your printer, as it may appear as a printer connected to your MacBook Pro and as a printer connected to the AirPort Express. You must choose the correct location to be able to print.
If your printer model does not appear when you click the + button in the steps above, about all that you can do is contact HP Support to see if they have an updated printer driver that you could download and install....that might allow the print function at the AirPort Express.

Print a PO from a HP laserJet printer.

Hello All,
Could you please help me in finding out the solution for below issue.
" We have a requirement to print a PO from a HP laserJet printer. This has to come in Landscape. For that we have copied a device type HPLJ4 and a formato type as Z_LEGAL. We are un sure how to maintain the device type. Like the entried added for Printer Initialization, Reset after Exit, End of page, End of line etc. Who is supposed to maintain the same. Is it ABAP or who?. Is there any note to know how to maintain the format type and can we raise a ticket with SAP to provide the same.
Thanks,
Nikhil

How can I choose my printer's rear tray on my MacBook?

Hello everyone,
I have something strange going on on my MacBook when it comes to printing...
I would love to be able to print address labels, photos etc. on actual labels and photo paper using the rear tray of my printer (Canon MG5150). The weird thing is that I cannot for the life of me find the option to choose the rear tray. I have expanded the print dialogue to show all possible options, but there's absolutely no way to choose my printer's paper source. So I'm stuck with the standard cassette, which I do not dare use for anything thicker than normal printing/copying paper. Everything else printer-wise works fine from the MacBook, I just can't select the paper source (regardless which programme I'm working in on the MacBook).
Something else I've tried is downloading the latest printer driver from Canon. No joy there though, doesn't make a blind bit of difference. I've also tried opening programmes using Rosetta just in case, but that doesn't seem to change anything either.
My iMac never presented me with this problem; it always let me print from whichever paper source I wanted (using the same Canon printer). Some background info: my MacBook has Mac OS 10.6.8 on it, my iMac Mac OS 10.4. Could it have something to do with the operating system? They are both Intel, aren't they, so why would the options be there on one Mac, but not the other?
So, where could my menu options have disappeared to?? Have Apple changed their printing dialogues for the worse or something? It seems such a shame I can't use my MacBook to its full potential and have to resort to roundabout ways of being able to do what I want. I'm hoping it's something really obvious, and that someone can help me.
Thanks for any advice!
Kind regards,
Esther

Hello-
You can restore network defaults on the printer.
Press the Setup icon. Then go to Network Menu, scroll down to "restore network defaults".
This should clear any "Admin" settings that were set.
Then you can turn radio on and run the wireless wizard to get back on network.
I hope this helps.
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

Hi @Sunshyn2005
I timed-out waiting for advice, and contacted HP Support, who helped me get the printer back on the air. While we didn't manage to root-cause it, in the course of trying various things, the tech disabled Norton 360's firewall, which then allowed connecting to the printer, and restoring print service, which remains up after re-enabling the firewall.
The timing of the disconnection doesn't neatly corellate with any Windows updates. My own theory is that it was caused by a 360 update, but am unable to find a smoking gun, since 360 doesn't provide update history. The exact root-cause remains a mystery, but at least provides another thing for folks to try should they find themselves in similar straits.
I really appreciated your hint that a Windows update might be the root cause, and your pointing out how to review the history and back-out updates: this morning, I found that Windows had installed a batch of updates overnight, and found that no browsers worked. Using your advice, I rolled back the update, restoring browsing.
Thanks,

Printing trademark symbol in HP laserjet printer

Hi,
I need to print trademark symbol (TM) from HP laserjet 4250 printer.
Since the SAP driver/device type does not have the character set containing tm symbol,
I am getting a # sign in the output.
I need to configure a custom character set with the symbol and for which I need the hex code of the trademark symbol corresponding to the specific HP laserjet printer.
I contacted HP global support but they could not tell me the hex code for a tm symbol in their printers.
Can anyone of you please let me know the code value or guide me where can I get it?
Regards,
Shuvendu

Hello kavyasuresh,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Thank you for posting your question regarding the LaserJet 1020 Plus and what system requirement are needed to install. I was able to find some information to answer this for you. It would appear that on XP the printer needs at least 128 MB of RAM and 150 MB of free disk space.

Hp laserjet printer p11o2w attention light in on continously

the attention light on my laserjet printer p1102w is on continouly (there is nopaper blockage) and the printer will not print. The printer is 2 years old.

Hi @flur ,
I see by your post that the attention light is continuously on and you unable to print anything. I can help you.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
You can find the blinking light pattern in this document and the solutions appropriate to the pattern you are experiencing. Blinking Lights on the HP LaserJet Pro P1102, P1102w, P1106, and P1108 Printers.
Reseat the toner and remove the paper from the paper tray and reseat the paper again.
Remove the USB cable temporarily and try and print a hardware self test on the printer. If using a USB connection.
Were you able to print the test page, or is the attention light still on?
When you turn the printer on or open the top cover, does the printer make a noise?
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the toner levels?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Wireless)
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HP laserjet printer P1102W not allowing to connect to mac OS 10.8

i recently purchased an HP laserjet printer P1102W and am having issues connecting to my mountain lion macbook pro. any suggestions?

I had a very difficult time getting the P1102W working wirelessly on a macbook pro with Mountain Lion, however I finally got it to work after countless hours of troubleshooting. I was able to successfully connect the printer to my wireless network WITHOUT having to perform an Ad Hoc wireless first as HP suggests in their support forums.
Here are the steps as accurately as I can remember:
1) Turn the printer off
2) Press and hold both the wireless and the cancel button, and then turn the product on
3) Hold the buttons until all the lights blink in unison, and then release the buttons.
4) Connect printer using USB cable & power on.
5) Check for apple software update from the App store. It will find and install an update for HP printers
6) Download and install the full software from HP, including the firmware update. here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-80684-8 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
7) Open System Presferences in Mounatin Lion, select Print & Scan.
8) Make sure the P1102W printer is selected and Open Print Queue
9) Click Settings, then click Utility, then Open Printer Utility
10) Select Configuration page. This will bring up Safari and displays the printer's settings and this is where you can change the configuration.
From this point, whenever I made changes to the netowrking configuration using Safari and clicked Apply, the changes would not "stick", no matter how many times I tried. So, I thought it may be an incompatability with Safari, and sure enough it was. I downloaded Google's Chrome browser, pasted http://localhost:5050/SSI/Auth/ip_direct_print.htm into the address bar and hit return on the keyboard. The changes I made using Chrome applied successfully and I connected to my home's wireless.
Specifically:
11) Paste http://localhost:5050/SSI/Auth/ip_direct_print.htm into Chrome and hit return on the keyboard. It will load the printer Config page.
12) You may already be under Wireless Direct Setup, if not, select Networking, then Wireless Direct Setup.
13) Select your network name, use the << button to move it over to the other window.
14) For Authentication, selecte watever your network uses (propably WPA2) and enter password. Apply.
You will see the Blue light on the top of the printer turn on, flash and then go solid.
15) Disconnect the USB cable
You can now print wirelessly from your Mac, ipad or iphone running IOS5 or 6.
I hope that helps compensate for HP's lack of support using Mountain Lion.
