HP 3210, OS X, can print w USB but not w WiFi. Can ping and access printers webpage.

I can connect and print on my HP 3210 directly via USB but not via the network. I can ping the printer and access its built in webpage through the network though, so it has network connection. When I try to add a network printer no printer shows up, so I manually add the printers IP address (valid and complete) and the ‘Generic PostScript Printer’ comes up as default. After I installed the printer through USB I can also access the specific 3210 drivers but it doesn't work either.
I once managed to print '%!PS-Adobe-3.0 Query  userdict (\004)cvn{(\004) print flush}put', then it continued to feed out blank papers until I canceled. I've tried the IPP, LPD and HP Jetdirect socket protocols together with the universal PostScript driver and the HP 3210 driver. One of the combinations returned the above line. Besides this one exception nothing happens, the printer appears offline.
Computers: One MacBook Pro 15" from 2011 with OS X 10.7.5 and two new MacBook Pro 13" with OS X 10.8
HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One
Serial Number:
{Removed for privacy}
Firmware Version: R0046xxNx
Printer connected with ethernet cable to router, computers connected over wifi.
It has previously worked on my older MacBook Pro and on a PC I had before. It seems like an installation problem not being able to install the IP printer automatically.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks!

It could be that your router does not support Bonjour or it is not enabled.  Go into the router settings and look for mDNS or Bonjour and make sure it is enabled.

  • Can print via usb, but not via wireless network

    My new MacBook Pro prints to my Epson RX500 when the printer is connected via USB to the MBP. However, when the the printer is connected by USB to my desktop PC running XP, the MBP does not print to it. I can see disks and transfer files wirelessly among desktop PC, laptop PC & MBP. The MBP finds the RX500 on the network, and has a driver for it. I can set it as the Mac's default printer. When I print, say from OpenOffice or TextEdit, the dialogs seem ok. Sometimes I see the print queue icon wink in and out on the dock. But the document doesn't get printed. The desktop says the printer is shared, and I can print over the wireless network from my PC laptop running XP.
    One of the Apple troubleshooting pages suggests that I should have the same driver version on my XP desktop and my Snow Leopard MBP. I don't know how to tell what version the PC is running.
    Any suggestions?

    Just to be sure - you know that you can't use Epson's "USB-only" driver for printing to a Windows-shared printer?
    You must use the Gutenprint driver - that's why Apple included the Gutenprint drivers in OS X.

  • I can connect my lexmark printer by usb but not wireless

    i can connect my lexmark printer s400 series by usb but not wirelessly any thoughts please

    I'm having the same issue. On my MBP 15" OS 10.7.3 the Lexmark printer does not connect to WIFI. It works on the USB connection. In wifi however it will work on the Virtual Box Windows 7 partition.
    In my logic this means the printer is properly connected to the wifi (green indicator and working with Virtual Box and Windows 7) The MBP is properly connected to the wifi network as Virtual Box works in the Mac's environment. The printer is present in the System Preferences indicating it is Idle and does have a IP address.
    When I do send a document to the printer it just sits in the Que and in System Preferences the status goes to Busy. In the Que it also indicates it is busy until it tmes out and indicate that communication with the printer is a problem.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • I can print in classic but not OSX.

    Fistly, what a great forum! I'm a recent convert to iBooks, have been reading as much as I can on this site to try to become as much of an expert as possible.
    After much swearing I've now worked out how to use my Lexmark Z12 printer. If I reboot into OS9, I'm able to install the drivers from the cd and the printer works.(I've spent many frustrating hours downloading both the OS9 and the OSX drivers from the Lexmark website, but they just do not work when I'm in OSX.)
    This is a bit of a drag as it means having to transfer documents between OSX and OS9 by emailing myself! My question is, if my printer works in OS9, is there no way of printing in OSX with Classic running?
    Also, are there any dangers in switching between operating systems so frequently?
    I should probably bite the bullet and buy a new printer but the one I have works perfectly well and I hate waste!
    Any suggestions gratefully received.
    Brendan

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    From what I can find online, it seems that the OS X drivers for your printer only work through OS X 10.2. Functionality of your printer was broken with OS X 10.3. Printing in Classic is not supported, according to what I've read.
    You may find that buying a new printer is cost-effective if you compare the costs of replacement ink cartridges.
    As far as I know, there is no hazard in switching between operating systems. Apple intended that it be used that way.

  • Can print PS file but not make PDF

    Printing to a PostScript printer with a customized PostScript driver in WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS is what we do every day, but when we print the same job to a PS file we can't make a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4. What can we do to make a PDF? Here is the error message from Distiller:
    Processing prologue.ps...
    Done processing prologue.ps.
    %%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: setpagedevice; ErrorInfo: InputAttributes --nostringval-- ]%%
    Stack:
    -dict-
    -save-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    If I knew what to edit in the PS file to make it print a PDF, that would be one workaround. But I'm very curious why our printer (HP LaserJet 4050 with a Level 2 PostScript emulator) will print a file that Distiller won't process. Here is the only place in the PS file that mentions setpagedevice:
    /manualfeed true put usertime 5000 add {dup usertime lt {pop exit} if} loop <</InputAttributes <<31<< /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
    0 13200 10200 _ornt
    "612 792" is, of course, the page size in points
    Trying to make the PDF from the the PS file that was meant for another PostScript printer (HP LaserJet 2200D), we get the same Distiller error message. This time the PS file contains:
    letter <</InputAttributes <<-1<< /PageSize [612 792]  /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792]  /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
    0 13200 10200 _ornt
    This passage from the 2nd attempt has much in common with the first PS attempt. What does Distiller mean by the InputAttributes having "nostringval"? What stringval would work?
    By substituting this from an uncustomized driver that does work,
    letter statusdict begin true setduplexmode false settumble end _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
    0 13200 10200 _ornt
    and by removing an offending command BRst, a PDF is created. But it doesn't have any of the special fonts that were downloaded. Still, that's progress.

    Thank you. The first line of the PS file is "%!PS-Adobe", so I conclude that the origin of the uncustomized PostScript driver was Adobe; WordPerfect Corp. supplied it to purchasers of their software. Uncustomized (except for new Type 3 fonts), the PostScript driver still works splendidly for creating PS files that are easily distilled into PDFs. We only use Adobe software for this purpose.
    By editing parts of the problem PS file I am just now able to get the PDF. But it requires replacing the following on every page:
    letter <</InputAttributes <<-1<< /PageSize [612 792]  /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792]  /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff0 13200 10200 _ornt
    with this:
    letter statusdict begin true setduplexmode false settumble end _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff0 13200 10200 _ornt
    I will continue working these codes. It ought to be possible to get paging codes that are less laborious to replace or otherwise get working, and obviously some of the codes can be eliminated.
    We're not in a position to give up our highly customized driver for mathematical logic printing on paper until a volume of historical text is finished. Smoother produced PDFs must be possible for an electronic edition.
    The other snag I mentioned, "BRst", came from a text file of "pskeys" that was to be downloaded with the job. It works when I simply insert pskeys.txt into the PS file.

  • Can print via email but not via wireless

    I have set up my new HP printer and it was working fine but now i can only get it to print via the hpeprint email address and it doesn't print through wireless.

    What printer do you have? What operating system do you have? Do you get an error message when you try to print from computer?

    Hi,
    Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
    Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

  • HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

    I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

    From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

  • Bonjour - Mac A can see Mac B but not vice versa

    Hi
    Very odd behaviour with Bonjour. Up until yesterday, my macbook pro (call it A) would see my mac pro (B) - it would appear automatically in A's sidebar, I could listen to B's iTunes library on A and so on. No problem and there hasn't been for a couple of years. B could not see A - but I didn't really need it to and this wasn't an issue.
    Suddenly, this morning, the situation is completely reversed. A can no longer see B at all, but B can see A.
    I can connect both ways by using 'Connect', I can ping both ways, but I can't get A to discover B using Bonjour.
    The only think I've done that I can think can have caused the changes is to use Omnifocus sync (with B holding the sync server) - it worked fine all day, but overnight Bonjour seems to have reversed itself as described above.
    Bonjour Browser shows me that B can see A, but A can't see B. I have identical settings on both machines for sharing, network, firewall (all everything).
    Bizarrely, for one two minute period a couple of hours ago, the situation reversed itself (A could see B but not vice versa), but then immediately went back to B can see A, but not vice versa.
    Both computers are running the same version of Leopard (10.5.7). I've reinstalled the OS on B, just to see, but this hasn't improved matters.
    I can find nothing on google or this discussions forum to explain this bizarre behaviour - most support threads seem to peter out without being resolved. Has anyone any idea what's going on please? I'm quite happy getting stuck into the command line, if that's needed.
    Many thanks
    David

    The Macbook Pro is connected wirelessly to the router, the Mac Pro connects to the same router by ethernet.
    As far as I'm aware, I'd made no changes to any of the setups (computers or router) before the problem occurred: bonjour worked fine, but in one direction only (the MBP could see the Mac Pro, but not vice versa). Now, the Mac Pro can see the MBP, but not vice versa - and this is a problem because my printer and itunes server both sit on the Mac Pro.
    I've set all the firewall and security settings I could find to transparent access - and (except for the obvious difference between the wired and wireless links), the setups are identical on both computers.
    By the way, I can connect to the Mac Pro easily enough and transfer files, I just can't see it via bonjour or use Screen Sharing (again the settings haven't changed since they were working!)
    Many thanks
    David
