HP 4200 series Printer Drivers

I am having a problem getting a new HP Deskjet F4280 to print. When I send a document to print, all the normal functions happen from selecting the number of copies , etc, and the print progress bar shows up and fills in but it never prints. The jobs completed shows whatever I send as completed with the time and date. I can get the Deskjet to Scan and Copy from the computer controls. I tried to find updated drivers at Apple.com for this printer but they are only there for OSX 10.5. Leopard.
I have done the all steps HP online assistance has suggested but, do not have a solution yet. I have loaded the latest OSX drivers from the HP site and installed them. If I use the Printer Setup Utility to try to install it as a HP printer I am unable to find drivers, I presume because the printer is not listed (old listing of printers)
I have now used the generic printer option in the Printer Setup Utility and have found I have a driver version 10.4 and PPD file version 1.0 listed.
I go to "about this Mac" and look at the printer option, I now have installed:
Deskjet F4200 series:
Status: Idle
Print Server: Local
Driver Version: 10.4
Default: Yes
URI: usb://HP/Deskjet F4200 series?serial=CN8882D3VP05BR
PPD: Generic PostScript Printer
PPD File Version: 1.0
PostScript Version: (2000.0) 1
Can anyone tell me if this is the correct driver version I should have? Any idea what I need to do to get the printer to print?
Thanks
Ron

OK, so I "think" you're installing driver version 9.7.1? - Yes
In Print & Fax/Printer Setup, are you clicking on Default - which gives the default browser? - That's the main problem I think anyway. I cannot get the Print Browser selection window within the Printer Setup Utility to accept this printer so I can make it the default printer. If I go to the HP selection list, the Series 4200 or the drivers are not listed so I can't select the default printer.
If I try the "Other" selection I am taken to my Documents folder and can get to all the other folders but I cannot find the printer and drivers in any subfolder.
And the printer is connected by USB? Yes, I know that is working correctly as the install 9.7.1 program identifies the printer and gives the serial number when plugged in and turned an as directed
Again - "generic" won't be useful in any way. I have found that to be very true.
I don't understand what "the utility is not up to date" means here.
What I mean is that when I select to "add a printer" I'm taken to the "Print Browsed " window where I hi-light the 4200 Series printer and make that selection. The Print Browser window tels me I have selected that printer and that is located at G4 (??? See below). I am then asked to select the printer or driver from the list provided in the drop down listings. I go to HP and the Series 4200 printer is not listed.
Have you repaired permissions? (Disk Utility in Utilities) - Yes, every time I reinstall the 9.7.1 program.
COULD the problem be that the printer is located at G4 instead of the Hard Drive? Just to make sure can you tell me how can I change the location to the Hard Drive ?
Thanks

hp laserjet 1005 series printer drivers

This worked for me in windows 7 professional 32bit SP1. Fresh install. I like my printer, I have used it for many years under both linux and windows and I had no intention of throwing it away. I am pleased I have found a way to make it work, I would have surely never bought HP again otherwise.
How to make a HP LaserJet 1005 series work in windows 7 32bit
1. download the printer driver HP LaserJet 1005 Host Based Driver v 5.51.2103.0 released 6 Oct 2003
Right now it can be found here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?cc=us&prodNameId=214539&prodSerie...
It is named lj1005hostbased-en.exe - md5sum 428274e8060e830aeaf1acf06f10a398
2. Extract the printer driver to a folder. (It is a winzip self-extract executable)
3. Go to the printers page and "Add a new printer". It will ask you to select a port, but not an USB because USB devices are automatically detected. Scroll down and select "Virtual USB port" (not sure about the naming but you'll find it)
4. In the installation of this virtual-usb connected printer you can say "I have the driver". Click on the button, point the printer dialog to the driver folder and select the .INF file in the directory (there are two, I used the first one). You will successfully install a second printer named "HP Laserjet 1005 series"
5. Now right click the real printer, which has the same name but has the warning triangle because it needs "troubleshooting" - it has no associated driver. Select Troubleshoot. It will look for drivers. Skip looking online it is just a waste of time. NOW IT WILL FIND THE DRIVER YOU INSTALLED FOR THE VIRTUAL PRINTER. CLick OK.
6. The danger triangle disappears, the virtual-usb printer with the same name disappears and you are lef with a printer named HP Laserjet 1005 series which... works!
Cheers.

Can't print to Canon MP 250 series, installed drivers

Hi from Cairo,
I'm running OSX 10.8.2 and I'm trying to install a Canon MP 250 series printer. I've downloaded and installed the driver twice, gotten the "installation successful" message, but still nothing will print. This is the error message I found in the logs:

Your kind support is deeply appreciated.

It would help a great deal if you could help explain a bit why you cannot install the software.
Does the software not download?
Can you not find your printer? Do you not know what kind of printer you have?
Are there errors during the installation?
Can you provide any information to help us understand the situation?

OS 10.3 with HP Photosmart 4700 series printer - can't get drivers

Greetings!
I'm trying to get an HP 4750C wireless printer to work with my older Pismo G3 mac, it's running 10.3.9 and won't be running anything higher. (I've set it up for my wife for internet and mail...) I just purchased this HP printer as our older OfficeJet decided to retire. I don't care if it runs wireless or not on her computer.
The installer with HP's printer software is not compatible with OS' earlier than 10.4. I've gotten the packages transferred to another disk, and have installed all components that should matter (I'm not trying to set up scaning, etc.), but still get a "driver not found" error. I did have trouble getting the HPIO Trap Monitor component to install, but think I've gotten past that.
Any ideas? I don't want her to have to e-mail me EVERYTHING that she wants to print... if you know what I mean...

That's a difficult position to be in, since driver support in newer
hardware not available through the manufacturer is troublesome.
{You may end up shopping for a new old-stock printer with the CD
drivers in the box, of a vintage comparable with the Panther 10.3
era; and run with that... and find newer drivers should you wish to
run the newer computer's printing through that vintage printer.}
Have you tried other printer drivers, such as those from GimpPrint
to see if a similar printer's driver from a different vintage model
would work in this situation? Sometimes an unintended one will.
For printers that are not listed as supported you may still be able
to print by trying the driver for a printer that is similar to yours,
but the results may disappoint you.
• GimpPrint (Gutenprint) for Mac OS X:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
There may be a way to use a computer as a printer-server kind of
connection, so the second computer has to see the one that can
use the printer, and (for the most part) may involve some sharing
setup to be employed where the settings would have to be changed
to support the two computers working together, at least to share a
printer. Not sure if that'd work.
The basic File Sharing could save having to email items between
computers, if they are on or could share a local network. Be sure
to only open it as little as necessary to have the sharing work but
not so far as to invite outside access to either computers or files.
Ownership of files may be a minor inconvenience to figure out.
Sorry I don't have a more definitive answer at this point; but I am
almost certain someone reading your post may have more evolved
ideas on making whatever you have work, in some way or another.
Good luck & happy computing!

How to uninstall print drivers Canon MF4150 issues

Hello all, I am having a nightmare of a time getting my Canon MF4150 to print. It looks from all of the threads on here it was a less than ideal choice for a Mac owner.
When I first bought the unit I managed to get it to print, everything seemed peachy.
Problems arose when I wanted to use the unit to scan. I downloaded a variety of third party software and drivers in an attempt to get the scan function working. I had mixed results, and this process seemed to upset the printing side of things. Once I scanned a document, the printer would then not work.
I abandoned the idea of scanning through the MF4150 and have gone back to dedicated Epson scanner.
Since then I have not had any luck getting the printer to print again.
I have gone through all the MF4150 related threads on these boards I can find, and followed the process to installed outlined here - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893 but to no avail.
I really just want this thing to print and it's driving me nuts.
I have the printer attached directly to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.2. I'm not trying to print through the Airport.
I would like to know how to completely uninstall any UFR II drivers and related software / information and start this process from the beginning again.
So far, using the answer provided by PAHU here https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893
I have -
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
> DONE
2. Select the MF4150 printer and press the minus " - " button to remove the printer. Do the same to any other printers that are in the printer list.
> DONE
3. Hold down the Control key and click in the empty printer list. A window showing 'Reset printing system' will display. Click this.
> DONE
4. Close the Print & Fax utility.
> DONE
5. Run the Canon UFR2 v1.70 installer and select Uninstall when the Easy Install menu appears
> This is where I get snagged. I'm not offered a Uninstall option. I have attached a screen grab of the window I am presented with. I am currently trying the "o1141enx_m_ufr224" version of the UFR driver. I have continued to complete the points below regardless of the fact i cannot uninstall.
6. Restart the Mac and run the v1.70 installer again to add the UFR2 files back onto your Mac
7. Go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Select the Mac OS X partition in the left pane and select 'Repair Disk Permissions'. When this has completed, quit Disk Utility
8. Open Print & Fax and add the MF4270 again
9. Open TextEdit, type some simple text and select to print.
10. Report back if the above doesn't get you printing.
I have also attach a screen grab of the process I go through when adding the printer.
Any help with this would be amazing. I've tried everything I can think of.
My latest idea is to try and remove any trace of previous printer drivers and go from there. You can see in my list of available drivers in the file attached I now have all sorts of UFR drivers in the list.
Again, if anyone can throw me a line on this that would be great.
Thanks & Regards
Coz

Hello Coz,
It's been a while since you've posted, I hope you have not given up. I was having grief with my MF4150 as well, but got it working. There is a more current driver - search for Mac_UFRII_V230_uk_EN and install it.
Then, when you go to add your printer through System Preferences > Print & Fax, make sure you click the "default" icon in the top of the dialog. It should show your Canon MF 4100 series , then use the bottom drop down menu to choose your driver and select Canno MF410 Series UFRII LT (UK) from the list.

Constant Printing Restart on a networked HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909N Series printer

Hello,
I'm curious if anyone has run into this problem before. I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909n Series printer that I have setup as a network printer. This has been accomplished through a print server.
I installed the printer's drivers based upon the cd that came with the printer, in the box.
The problem is that whenever a user prints, say it's a simply one page document... the printer will repeatedly print that single page until it runs out of paper. I have stopped/restarted the print spooler. I've rebooted the printer and the print server. I have deleted the drivers and readded them. I've tried installing drivers from HP's website and then installing those. I have attempted to delete the printer from the server and start from scratch.
When I monitor the print queue, I can see the service restart after each document prints. I can't figure out how to get this to stop.
Does anyone have a suggestion; or has anyone run into this problem? I'm not sure which forum to put this in. I chose the Networks/Wireless forum, even though this is running on a wired network with wireless disabled.
I certainly appreciate any asistance.
-Craig

It ended up being an issue with the port. I had used the same port as the last HP printer that I replaced. This printer needs to run on a TCP/IP port, and not an HP port.
Problem solved.
Oh, and it was wired, with wireless disabled.

How do I uninstall print drivers that do not work?

I've downloaded the HP drivers for 10.6 from here
http://support.apple.com/downloads/HPPrinter_Drivers_for_Mac_OS_X_v106
However, I am still unable to get my HP PSC 1400 to print via the Time Capsule. Since the driver package ended up being +500 MB, is there any way that I can uninstall these drivers to regain that space?

So the printer drivers for the PSC1400 series unfortunately did not make it onto the DVD. They will be available through a software update at some point in the future. You should able to install the 10.5 solution to get basic functionality working again. As for deleting the files, yes there is a way, but it still leaves some of the files laying around so software update won't work.
If you want the space though, most of the files are in /Library/Printers/hp. That being said the software update to provide printing support will probably put most of them back.
Just trying to help.

New Printer Drivers won't load in Mac App Store

Hi!
I've recently update my mid-2014 rMBP to the Final release of Yosemite, up from the Yosemite Public Beta 6. I've been able, during the beta phase to add my home printer (an HP OfficeJet 4500) after (or before?) the Mac App Store had downloaded the required HP drivers (3.3.1).
Now, however, I'm trying to add an HP LaserJet 1200 series (whose drivers are in the official list). I've tried several times, asked the MAS to check for new updates a thousand times but still it won't download any new printer drivers.
When adding the printer and selecting the driver from the list of drivers bundled with OS X, I could see various printers (with a large number of HP printers who use the aforementioned 3.0 drivers which have been downloaded already), but no HP LaserJet 1200. I don't have them because they're not the same as the 3.0 ones. On my sister's 2010 MBP, which didn't go through the beta testing phase, I found what seems to be all the drivers from the list (at least there was the one for the 1200 Series).
So my question is, how do I somehow "trigger" the MAS to download the required drivers (19.8) ? Is anyone else having troubles installing printer drivers?

Thank you for your quick reply! I've deleted the hp folder (and moved the PPD relating to the printer which is already installed, the OfficeJet, just to see if it would help) and had the MAS check for new updates. No success yet, though.
However there's a slight misunderstanding regarding which drivers I'm trying to install : I already have the 3.3.1 drivers (for the OfficeJet) but the drivers which won't download are the 19.8 for the LaserJet printer. are these separately downloadable too?

Any guess on how long it will take for HP to come up with laserjet printer drivers for LION?

HP does not have the printer drivers available for the Mac OSX 10.7 (LION) for the HP Laserjet 2420/2430 series; which has been true for previous OSX releases also? Just wondering if it's 1-3 months, or more before our printers can be expected to work again. Is it long enough to just abandon LION for a while, and go back to SnowLepard?

Since this is for an HP product support, you might want to visit their site:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us &prodNameId=412123&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=416419&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEn vOID=4082
They'll be able to estimate time of delivery better than Apple, who doesn't make HP drivers.

HP 900 Series printer and OS 10.4

I am having problems trying to print on my series 900 HP printers.
When I press print it starts and then stops printing. I then have to press start printing again for it to finish. In the process it wastes a couple of pages of paper.
This started when I Upgraded to OS 10.4. Is any one else having this problem? I have been working with HP but with no success.

David, Welcome, As you have probably already fiqured, often when you update and or upgrade for some unknown reason it affects print drivers as well as other things..
This may be old hat but just as a reminder..
Be sure you have the correct drivers from HP's site, in the Applications folder and or your HP's set up utility.
If by chance you still have a problem try these...

HP Photosmart 7960 Not Shown in Print Drivers

I finally pulled the trigger and bought a MacBook Pro last Monday. I have a lot to learn having come from a PC background. I have an HP Photosmart 7960 printer hard-wired to a desktop PC running Windows XP. I use a wireless network with a Linksys router for a laptop PC also running Windows XP that shares that printer. I am trying to get my new Mac to share that printer wirelessly as well. It can find the printer on my network and then asks me to choose a printer driver from the drop-down list. The HP Photosmart 7900 series is not in the drop-down list even thought that driver is supposed to be part of the Leopard 10.5.8 OS without downloading from HP. As a matter of fact HP doesn't even offer that driver up to download because it already comes on the operating system. I picked one at random (HP Photosmart 7550 Gutenprint 5.1.3) and it will print, but that can't be the right way to go in the long run. I've been back to the Apple Store where I bought the laptop and they don't know what to tell me to do. I'm hoping someone has solved this issue so I can enjoy my new Mac.

Hi! There are 4 7900 series drivers included in Leopard however at installation not all of them may have been chosen. I think you will have to use the install disc to install the additional drivers if they weren't installed originally.
List of drivers HERE. Tom
From Apple:
Installing printer drivers
All included printer drivers are installed by default with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. If you custom install, you can select which printer driver packages you would like installed. The Apple LaserWriter PPDs and sample drivers included with CUPS are installed as part of the Essential System Software package and cannot be customized or installed separately from Mac OS X.
If you would like to install any of the optional printer drivers after installing Mac OS X, insert the Install disc into your computer and use Optional Installs.

HP C4200 All-in-One Series Printer/Copier/Scanner

My All-in-One 4200 HP Printer, Copier, Fax machine continues to waste paper and prints alignment pages almost every time I print a document.
I believe you would agree that this feature needs to be turned off and is very annoying. Other than constantly pressing cancel, please tell me what I can do to stop this from happening?
Thank you
Dale Kozek

Hi blanche2,
I understand you are inquiring if you have the proper software CD for your printer. Yes you do. A printer much like a car has a series that contains a base model and a few others. By adding different features and options to the base model it will create a different model number under that original series. The base driver will be the same for all the printers, but each model will have certain extras. Also different store chains will be assigned a different model number in that series depending on the promotions that are offered at that particular chain.
I hope this helps, let me know.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

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.
