Help with HP DeskJet 5650:  turning on automatically

W have an HP Deskjet 5650 that is connected to my Airport Express (Firmware 6.3; running Bonjour for Windows 4.2). We use the Airport Express to print from my desktop (Windows XP SP2) and a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4).
When printing from the desktop, the printer will automatically turn on when detecting a print job (just like it used to do when connected to the desktop directly through using USB).
When printing from the MacBook Pro the printer will not turn on automatically. Instead, we have to walk in to the study to turn on the printer.
Any help in getting the printer to turn on automatically when detecting a print job from the MacBook Pro would be appreciated.

First, disabling the SSID broadcast is not a security measure.  Freeware from the Internet can still read it.  Plus, as you have determined, your printer will not like it at all.

  • HELP WITH HP DESKJET 3050 PRINTER WIFI!!!!

    Hi 
    We have a hp deskjet 3050 but we can't print. The blue light for wireless is flashing on and off.
    Can anyone help? 

    OK, this is a router issue, not a printer issue.  Let's try WPS again (no USB cable connected).
    - Unplug the Internet line that runs between the router and the wall
    - Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
    - Now start WPS on the printer then the router (within 2 minutes of each other).  It should connect.
    - Finally, plug in the Internet line, reboot the router.
    Now, run the software on your computer and it should find the printer.

  • Help with HP Deskjet 6500 wireless connection

    My HP Deskjet 6500 worked perfectly via my wireless network until I turned off my SSID Broadcast. Now the printer SAYS it is connected to the wireless network, but I cannot print to it. The printer does not even show up as being on the network.
    There MUST be a way to configure it to connect to a wireless network witout SSID Broadcast turned on, since nobody who cares about their wireless security would leave their SSID Broadcast on all the time, right?
    This question was solved.

  • Please help with iTunes - it's importing music automatically that I don't..

    want it to...
    I don't understand how it could have such a ridiculous setting. I imported some music from a folder on my hard drive (Multimedia under my documents) - I intended this to be a one time operation. Now any time a file is put into that folder it is automatically imported into iTunes. This is EXTREMELY irritating and there doesn't seem to be any place obvious to turn this feature off. Terrible. Please tell me there is a way to fix this. I don't want iTunes to EVER add ANY music or other files unless I specifically tell it to manually.
    Thanks!

    Now any time a file is put into that
    folder it is automatically imported into iTunes.
    Okay, wait just a second. How in the HECK did you make it do this?
    Because this is a feature people have actually been wanting for a LONG time. iTunes totally lacks it, or at least it has up until now, so if you figured out how to make it happen, please tell the entire class.
    This is EXTREMELY irritating and there doesn't seem
    to be any place obvious to turn this feature off.
    On the contrary, most people have been trying to work out how to turn it ON.

  • Help with Old Deskjet Printer

    I have an old 660C and it goes through the process of printing but the pages are blank.  HP wont support it anymore!  I am looking for someone to help me fix it.  Will pay!  HELP!

    The most likely suspect would be dried out or empty print cartridges.  I would start by printing a diagnostic test page as shown here.  If the page is totally blank then skip to the next paragraph.  If there are some wisps of black or color then try running a cleaning cycle up to three times.
    If the page is blank then remove the cartridge and gently blot the printhead on a damp tissue.  If you do not get a strong black or three color stripes on the tissue the cartridge is at fault and will need to be replaced.

  • Need help with digital photos that turn fuzzy in Final Cut Pro 5

    I read the whole thread on using still pictures in FCP 5 without finding a solution to the problem I am having these days. The digit pictures I am using are all around 1632 x 1232 pixels (230 dpi), they are about 43.8% after I drop them onto the timeline and I zoom in to no more than 75%. I don't know why dark colour edges in the pictures look pixelated. The picture quality (sharpness) also does not look not as good as it appears in the viewer. I tried resizing them in photoshop before bringing them onto FCP but that does not improve the picture quality. I also tried various video filters: Shift, de-interlace, but without any satisfactory result.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions on this issue.

    It's almost to start guessing because you seem to have tried everything. But we can't tell if you applied these changes or filters properly without watching you or your output.
    My main problem is pixelated edges especially when there is a big contrast in colour. <</div>
    this could just be what you're stuck with. DV and MPEG2 are terrible codecs for hard edges. Professionally produced DVDs are carefully encoded using bigger-badder tools than you have at your disposal.
    Don't resize your images in PS, just bring them in full size and scale them locally in FCP. An image that is 1kx1k will only display about one-fourth of the image in the Canvas at full size because the Canvas only displays about 500x700 pixels.
    The scaling algorithm in FCP totally blows but it's a video app and should not be compared to PS. You do not need Photoshop scaling quality, wasted energy. What you DO need is proper motion blur for your moves, a bit of Gaussian to hide the inevitable artifacting.
    Open the manual and look up rendering options and render settings and realtime settings. The FCP5 settings offer some interesting options with meaningless descriptions.

  • HP deskjet 5650 usage in colour with IMac

    Hope you can help - tried to install new driver to enable my printer to print in colour when connected to new Imac.  OS is OS X Maverick and not listed in the drop down options on the HP website.  Is my printer really too old to be compatible (and print in colour) with my imac?  It prints fine in black and white but just not in colour.  Have checked settings and connected a laptop to the same printer and it prints in colour perfectly well... Tried to download OS X driver but it downloaded then was unable to open with error message on screen: You cant open the application OS X HP Inkjet Installer because Power PC applications are no longer supported.
    Any ideas to help me please?  Many thanks....

    Hi BBHRJane,
    Apple delivers third-party software for scanners and printers using Software Update. To set up your printer or scanner, just connect it to your Mac. If software is needed and available, OS X automatically downloads and installs it.
    This article is a comprehensive list of currently supported printer and scanner models and associated software provided by third-party vendors as of 14 November 2013. OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download.
    The Deskjet 5650 is not on the list. Although I prefer not to be the bearer of bad news, the fact of the matter is, the Deskjet 5650 does not have a compatible driver to work with 10.9. 
    On an positive note, you could call HP. HP may be able to offer you a newer model, that is compatible, at a discounted cost. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US or you can Contact HP Worldwide. < Click here and select your location.

  • I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads, but I see an alert that says 'This device is already associated with an apple ID.'

    I recently bought a new ipod 4 gen 32 G. I had an 8 g .I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads so when I buy a song from Itunes it automatically downloads without plugging it into computer to sync.  When I turn on Auto Downloads, It say...This device is already Associated with an apple ID You can auto-download purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 30 days. When I click OK it turns th downloads off..Can someone help me? I've returned the 8g to regular factory settings as I'm giving it to a friend.

    You have to wait. See:

  • Help with turning off in-camera selected aspect ratios - Please!

    I shoot a Olympus e-P2. It allows me to change the aspect ratio of the file i.e. 4:3, 16:9 etc. I like to use this feature as 'masks' when I shoot to help with composition. When I open the RAW file in bridge or Camera Raw, this pre-selected aspect is automatically cropped from the file. I want to see the entire file, not the cropped version. The Oly software gives me this option, but I can't figure out how to turn off this 'feature' in Bridge or Camera Raw. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your adobe product is only doing what the camera data told it to. However, in the raw converter you can try activating the crop tool then right click the image and choose to remove the crop. That may work (or not).

  • I bought iphone just 10 days back and I update OS 4.3.3 as apple said, after that I am facing a battery drain problem and also it turn off automatically while I was talking on phone with friends and family. I  noticed 6 times. look like apple phone *****

    I just bought apple i phone 4 10 days back from AT &T Retail outlet, then I set up account on itune and i saw to update the software version and i did it to 4.3.3, after that I am facing  two problem 1) Battery is draining like water and 2) while I was talking on phone with family and friends It turn off automatically, Initially I thought I might made some mistake but afterward I noticed that It happen again and again without I touch anything on screen or at phone. I guess Apple suppose to do something and help the customers, anyway but I am still under 30 days warranty period I am going to return it back and I guess may be there are lot of other options available comparing iphone4. but Lets wait what kind of solutions apple bring to me.

    Do you have a question or are you just here to rant?
    No matter what the product, there will always be some off the line that are defective. It's a fact of life.
    The phone has a 1 year Warranty, not 30 days. I'm sure they'll be happy to replace it for you.
    Now, that said, have you bothered to sync the phone to make sure you don't have to come back whining because you got your phone replaced and now you can't find your stuff?

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

  • Issues with Deskjet 5650 and Linksys wireless print server.

    I have a iMac DP 1.8, a iMac G3 700 mhz running Tiger and a Toshiba laptop running XP and I am on a wireless network. I use a Linksys WRT54G router for the wireless and I am using a Linksys WPS54G wireless printserver to connect an HP Deskjet 5650 to the network. This was all working fine for the past 2 months until Monday evening when the Mac's lost connection to the printer. However the Toshiba can print to it just fine.
    I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened. The iMac DP recently had a security update for intel installed this past Monday, but no updates have been installed on the G3 iMac. I have contacted Apple, HP and Linksys and they have been no help at all. Apple says it's a Linksys issue, Linksys says it's Apple issue and HP is just cluless. I would appreciate any assistance offered.
    Thanks

    Paul, I am amazed you were ever able to print via the Linksys wireless server on your mac. I have the identical router and print server, and only the Windows PC's on my wireless network have been able to share the printer on that wireless server. I've been unable to find a driver for my iMac, and could never get the iMac to find the server. Finally gave up and bought an HP 2600n color laser and connected it directly to the iMac via USB. You're right about lack of help from Linksys. There is an Apple folder under "unsupported" on the print server installation CD, but there's nothing helpful in there.

  • Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?

    Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?

       Have you tried randomly using Google - Device Manager? Though it will not track the Droid Maxx when it's turned off. It will show the last time the phone was turned on. To see if that coincides with the last time you had the phone on.
