Hi,
You can use Printshare app on your tablet. I believe you have to pay a small amount for it:

How to get bonjour to work on a wag120n router so ipad can print wireless to hp deskjet 3070A

Does anyone know of a fax to to get bonjour to work on a wag120n router so my ipad can see and print wireless to hp deskjet 3070A. I can reach the home page of the HP printer from the ipad using safari but the printer doesn't come up as an airprinter option. I have a PC laptop (not apple) and it can print wireless to the HP 3070A.
I have logged on to the wag120n and it has firmware V1.00.16
I can't see any multcast options within the admin setup.
Any clues ? thanks for your time.

I have looked for multicast options/filter within the admin function on the router but can NOT see any. I have contacted CISCO directly and they have confirmed that this router will NOT do it, and they have no intention on bringing out a fix. If someone has got it to work, let me know. thanks for your time. Andrew

Trouble printing with my HP Deskjet printer using CUPS and hplip

tl;dr This 1,646 word post describes my frustration with CUPS and hplip. I cannot get my HP Deskjet F4400 set up with CUPS, and all the solutions I've tried don't work.
I'm running Arch Linux ARM on my Seagate DockStar, a small ARM-based "plug computer" that I use as a home server. My printer is the HP Deskjet F4480, which is part of the HP Deskjet F4400 series.
I previously had CUPS set up to share my printer with my home network, using hplip for the printer driver. I never upgraded CUPS or hplip because those versions worked fine, and I didn't want to break anything avoid breaking anything. The versions that I was using had to have been at least one to two years old.
Everything was working very smoothly... until a few days ago. The drive I was running Arch Linux ARM on became corrupt, so I had to install a fresh copy of the operating system. That meant losing all of the working versions and configuration files each application I had installed, including CUPS. I thought I had a backup image of the drive, but it didn't work when I tried to restore it. (Yes, it was stupid of me not to test my backup.)
Setting up CUPS was one of the first things that I wanted to do after reinstalling, since my family depends on the network printing functionality almost daily. Unfortunately, I could not get CUPS to work with my printer correctly. It wouldn't be able to display a list of drivers, HP's setup utility encountered an error adding it, and it threw various errors when I tried to print test pages. I ended up reading hundreds of forum posts, wiki articles, and CUPS/hplip tutorials to try to figure out how to properly set it up. I ended up spending a total of nearly ten hours trying to get the printer to print with CUPS, and it's still not working after all that work.
I'm going to explain in this post some of the many things that I've tried so far. I just removed all of the printing packages from my system and any extra files that were left behind. I'm now going to be installing all of the packages again and documenting everything that I have been trying to do to get it to work. I'll try to include exact error messages and logs where necessary.
1. I first found this article on the Arch Linux ARM website on how to set up a CUPS printer. I didn't really want to use webmin, but I did it anyway so that I could follow the guide. I installed all the packages mentioned except for cups-pdf, since I didn't need print to PDF support. Everything installed smoothly, and I configured CUPS and webmin to allow access to other computers on the network. I started to notice problems in the instructions - /etc/rc.d/cups was actually /etc/rc.d/cupsd, /etc/printers.conf was actually /etc/cups/printers.conf, and webmin didn't actually add anything to the printers.conf file. I uninstalled webmin at this point because I didn't need it, and I decided I wasn't going to follow that guide with incorrect information.
2. I then tried to set up the printer on my own using the CUPS web interface listening on port 631. I clicked the Add Printer button and it switched me to the HTTPS web interface. I then logged into the root account and was presented with the list of printers. My printer was listed as "HP Deskjet F4400 series (HP Deskjet F4400 series)", so I selected it and continued. I saw a list of printer models (PPD files) ending in CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9. There was no entry for my printer, so I tried the "HP DeskJet Series (en)" one. I set the default options and chose Maintenaince->Print test page. I then got a ridiculously simple error: "Unable to print test page: No such file or directory". How do I even know what file or directory it's referencing? I read online that it may be because I'm not in the lp group, but root is indeed in there. I saw in the error log "Avahi client failed: -26". I started dbus and avahi-daemon just in case, but I still got that silly error. I restarted cups and the same error message occured.
3. I researched online that pretty much the only way for my printer to have a driver would be to install hplip. Before installing hplip, I uninstalled CUPS, leaving cupsd.conf but deleting printers.conf. Then I installed CUPS and hplip together, with hplip requiring foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, and foomatic-filters. Everything seemed to install correctly. I started CUPS again and then ran hp-setup -i to try to install my printer. I selected USB and it found my printer, hp:/usb/Deskjet_F4400_series?serial=[printer serial number here]. I entered a simple name and then was told that no PPD file was found for the printer but that I could specify one manually. There were none I could find online; everywhere it just said to install hplip. I used the find command to find "f4400" and finally found 2 compressed PPDs located at /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_f4400_series-hpijs.ppd.gz and /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_f4400_series.ppd.gz. I gunzipped both of them and pointed hpsetup to the hpijs one, knowing that I was using the hpijs one when it was working before. It told me "Description for the file: HP Deskjet f4400 Series hpijs, 3.12.6". Hooray! I selected to use it, but then setup failed: "error: Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again." Ugh!
4. I restarted CUPS and went into the hp-setup process again. It gave me the same printer queue setup failed error. I don't know if these entries in the CUPS error log are related or not, but these errors relating to foomatic showed up. I restarted CUPS again and this time used the non-hpijs file with hp-setup. This one was called "Description for the file: HP Deskjet f4400 Series, hpcups 3.12.6". It failed again with the same error and the same entries in the error log. I found lots of posts online about this error, but none seemed to have a solution that would work for me. Now I tried running hp-setup in debug mode with -g. Here is what it said before the error. I then tried to Google "debug: addPrinter() returned (0, Unable to connect to CUPS server)". I saw on an Arch bug report to install dbus-python and python2-gobject, as well as create a symlink for /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python. It didn't work - same error.
5. I then tried to add the printer to CUPS via its web interface. Now there were two listed, HP Deskjet F4400 series (HP Deskjet F4400 series) and HP Deskjet F4400 series USB [printer serial number here] HPLIP (HP Deskjet F4400 series). So, hplip added the second one. I tried both of them, but after clicking Continue the page started to hang. I got another stupid, undescriptive error. "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success". I saw the same foomatic errors in the error log as before. I then started reading the ArchWiki page on CUPS, located here. I tried the blacklisting usblp. I tried changing the permissions on the device node, although this starts to become ridiculous that it is even required to do that. Nothing was working; the printer installation still didn't work with hp-setup or with CUPS. Then, I found what I was looking for: the exact error I had on the wiki page! It said for "Unable to get list of printer drivers" you should "Try to remove Foomatic drivers." WTF? Foomatic is required for hplip, and hplip is required for my printer. I can't do that. Forum posts say to try that or do the permissions or usblp thing. Nothing is working.
6. I tried various other things to get it to work, even though I knew they probably wouldn't make it any different. I copied the PPDs from hplip to another folder and uninstalled hplip and foomatic. I then added them to /usr/share/cups/model and CUPS successfully found them and set up the printer. I reinstalled hplip and foomatic since they're needed for those PPDs to function, and I tried printing a test page. It failed. I tried using the CUPS web interface to modify the printer driver; nope, that wasn't going to happen: "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success".
That concludes the list of some of the things that I have tried so far. I really want to get this printer working, but right now I am really fed up with CUPS and hplip. It's things like this that make me hesitant to recommend Linux to anyone else. So much manual configuration and tinkering the inner workings of things is required to do tasks that would be quite simple on Windows. For example, I can plug this printer into my Windows 7 machine right now, wait for the driver to automatically be installed and configured, and have a test page in my hands less than a minute after I first plugged in the USB cable. I can share the printer with any other Windows machine on the network by checking a single checkbox.
But back to my problem with getting the printer to work on my DockStar. I just uninstalled all of CUPS, hplip, and foomatic again and removed all of their files. I can walk through things to try that you guys post and then give you full logs of everything - just give me exactly what to do and install and the exact order to do it all in. I just don't know what to do at this point and am so frustrated with this that I'm about to give up.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this printer working? I know this was a very long post, but I just wanted to explain everything that I've tried and how nothing worked. I really hope that we can figure this out so that I'll be able to print, and maybe it'll solve a few other people's problems with their printers, too. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for the help.

Had similar issue with my HP Deskjet F4500C All in one printer, here's what I did:
make sure these packages are installed or install them
pacman -S cups cups-pdf hplip pyqt3 python2-pyqt
pacman -S system-config-printer-gnome
rc.d cups start
To add device and install hp driver:
1. Run ‘hp-setup’ as root.
2. Click ‘Show Advanced Options’ button and check-enable ‘Manual Discovery’.
3. Enter IP address 192.168.59.63 in the ‘…device ID…’ entry and click ‘Next’ to install driver.
run system-config-printer as root, to add printer
# system-config-printer
click “Add”， Select Device -> Network Printer -> input the IP address of the printer such as “192.168.1.3″, click “Find” -> “Process”
you should be ok from here, if not some further steps:
If you encounter the following error:
File “/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py”, line 1531, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel
debugprint (host + “: ” + args)
TypeError: cannot concatenate ‘str’ and ‘list’ objects
You should comment out the error line at 1531 of newprinter.py, and then continue to add the printer.
4). Finally, you can run hp-check to see what problems exists for the printer.

How to print pdf from mac when printer is connected to windows pc which in turn connected to same wifi as my mac?

I have HP deskjet F4400 printer which is always connected to my PC with win 7 on it. And the PC is connected to same wifi as my mba. How can I print a pdf over the network? Because always taking my mba near the printer and connecting it and then printing is a time killer....
I am using MBA 2014 with Yosemite and a PC with win 7.

My strong recommendation is to connect the 2510 via ethernet to your router. It is the most straightforward way to have it accessible to the entire network.
Also, when you upgraded your network from g to n, did you put it in backwards-compatible mode (in other words, works with both g and n devices)? I also strongly recommend that.

HP Deskjet f4400

Hello all,
I purchased an HP Deskjet f4400 a while ago and have not been able to print with it, not even an alignment page. I got a test page to work, but nothing else. The printer status reads as "unknown" in HP Utility.
I have disconnected and restarted both computer and printer several times; I have also added and deleted the printer and reinstalled the printer's software several times--using the latest driver from HP. Nevertheless, nothing seems to work. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi jwcrabtree71yah,
If the printer is turned on but the operating system is stating it is offline, go to the control panel and find printers. Right click the icon of your printer and choose the option "use printer online". If this doesn't work can you tell me what operating system you are using and how you are connected to the printer?
Many Thanks,
Francheska

How do I change my HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 Series to draft mode

How do I change my HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 Series to draft mode? I have read some of the "solutions," but they don't make any sense to me. I need simple instructions. Thanks!

Hi there!
Try these steps that I have posted below. This will change the settings for all print jobs, so you will need to go back in to these settings if you wish to change the quality back to normal, best, etc.
Source
Once you are in the Printing Preferences window, you will see a Paper/Quality tab, click on it and you can change the Quality to Draft here.
That should work for you! Let me know if this helps

CS3 Photoshop Printing to a HP DeskJet 5500 PS issue

I have a user that is trying to print to a HP Deskjet 5500PS and every time that he tries to print from with in Photoshop he gets a error on the printer that does not allow the image to print. Has anyone ran into this? I have tried to replace the printer driver for on the machine. I have tried everything that would be first thought. I've ran out of ideas help me please.

I think it's a Leopard issue with third party developers unwilling to commit resources to resolve problems. I had the bounding box problem with an older HP basic laser printer. I was never able to print to the laser printer from the Mac using CS2. That problem disappeared when I got a new laser printer, a basic laserjet 1505. However, I now have glitches printing from Microsoft Office 2004. In order to print I have to go to print preview and print from there.
The issue probably boils down to the number of programmers assigned to the Mac platform. Too few programmers, too many glitches slip through the cracks. One of the costs of being a Mac user. I bought Microsoft Office 2004 just before Christmas and also find the "borders" command to be flaky. It gives me boxes no matter how I set the default. Since I am a home user I will probably cough up the extra near $200.00 and go for Office 2008. I simply work with too many others who are using Office to switch suites, e.g. IWorks.

Printing on an HP Deskjet 940c

I recently set up a file sharing network between our home PC, my sister's PC, and my Dad's PC laptop, all which run Windows XP with service pack 2. We have an HP Deskjet 940c printer plugged into the "main" home computer via USB. When the home computer is up and running all the PCs are able to join the network, share files, etc. and wirelessly print, it's great. However, my mom and I have a bit of a problem trying to print. We both use macs, my mom has a new MacBook, and I have a MacBook Pro, and we would like to be able to join our FREYHOME network like the PCs and then print to the HP Deskjet 940c printer. How can I go about doing this? As always, any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nate

Well for a start you want to make sure you have the drivers installed. HP is OK about having the right drivers, but just in case you should get Gutenprint. It's a set of open source printer drivers and whenever a company doesn't have it supported, these guys do. And even when the company does, this driver is usually works better. I have it installed on mine, never fails. Also, yours is listed.
Second, you must connect to it over the network.
(1) Connect to your network the way you normally would, be it via wi-fi or ethernet, then open up Printer Setup Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility.app).
(2) Once in the program click the icon in the menu with a "+" that is labeled Add. This will bring up the printer adding dialogue. It will do a bit of a search, if your printer doesn't come up there, click "More Printers" in the bottom right of the window.
(3) This brings in a pane and you need to choose "Windows Printing" in the top drop-down list and "Network Neighborhood" in the lower drop-down list. In the text area you should see a series of names, or only one, it depends on how many networks you're connected to. If it's only one, you know which to select. If it's more than one, select the one the computer with the printer is on. Double-click the network to view the list of connected computers.
(4) From the list of connected computers select the one that you know the printer to be connected to. You'll probably be asked a name and password, just type it in.
(5) This time the list will change again to a list of the printer or printers connected to the machine. Click the one you want to connect, but don't click add just yet.
(6) Once the printer is selected, choose the brand of printer from the drop-down list labelled "Printer Model" then select the specific model of printer from the generated list. Now, you can click Add.
Now back in Print Setup Utility you'll see the new printer listed with all the others you have added, if you have any at all. Now just go and print as you see fit.

Where do I find info on how to print on different size projects?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this on the correct board or not. My question is where do I find instructions on how to print on different size papers such as, envelopes and postcards both addresses and return addresses. I know how to print the body of my postcards since I use Windows Publisher but I'd rather not have to use labels. It would be so much faster and more professional to print the addresses and return addresses directly on the postcards and envelopes. I've owned many HP printers and have always been able to do that but can't seem to set my Deskjet 8500 910A.
Thanks for any help available.

linadads,
I am happy to help you with your issue regarding printing on envelops. The printer software doesn't carry the functionality to create envelope documents. You will use a word processor for completing this such as, Microsoft word. In Microsoft Word (or a like word processor) it will give you the option to create an envelope with the send from and send to address sections.
I hope this helps

How to print a HTML file in browser look using DocPrintJob

Hello guys,
Does anyone know how to print HTML output/file into browser look?
I'm using DocPrintJob and the DocFlavor set to DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE.
posted below is my code :
public class BasicPrint {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Open the image file
            String testData = "C:/new_page_1.html";
            InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(testData));
            DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
            // Find the default service
            PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
            System.out.println(service);
            // Create the print job
            DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
            Doc doc= new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
            // Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
            // see e702 Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
            PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
            // Print it
            job.print(doc, null);
            // Wait for the print job to be done
            pjDone.waitForDone();
            // It is now safe to close the input stream
            is.close();
        } catch (PrintException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    static class PrintJobWatcher {
        // true iff it is safe to close the print job's input stream
        boolean done = false;
        PrintJobWatcher(DocPrintJob job) {
            // Add a listener to the print job
            job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobAdapter() {
                public void printJobCanceled(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent pje) {

                public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                void allDone() {
                    synchronized (PrintJobWatcher.this) {
                        done = true;
                        PrintJobWatcher.this.notify();

     testPrint</div>
ABCDEFGHIJK<p>
</p>
</body>
</html>however, the output that i want is the HTML in browser look not HTML code itself.
i've tried to change the DocFlavor into any TEXT_HTML type but it gives error:
sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor if you guys has any idea or solution, can you share with me... already search in Google but still not found any solution
Thanks in advanced.
