HP 5150 usb connected to Windows XP Pro PC-But want to print from PBG4

My HP 5150 isa connected via USB to the back of my desktop PC running Windows XP Pro....I already haave it connected to a network (linksys wireless router) along with a 2nd PC Dell Desktop and both my Dell and VIAO print ok. But now that i waant to print from my PBG4 via Airport i can't. My MAC doesnt recognize the network and visa versa.....but my MAC is connected to the network and can view and transfer files.....
another example...when i manually set up my MAC, i would try to print and one page would print approx 7 pages....I was told due to post script print driver????
I simply have no clue and dont know if i need parallels or a new printer?
PLEASE HELP........

That document was helpful in confirming I had the printer setup properly in windows. However my problem still remains. I think the issue may just well be the printer and the way to solve this is getting a different one.
Any other tips? Otherwise I may call it a day on this one.
I appreciate the assistance.

  • Cannot print locally on OfficeJet Pro 8610, but I can print via web service

    Hello,
    I just installed an OfficeJet Pro 8610 with the downloaded install. I found my printer on the local wireless network and it connected. I cannot print anything from my Windows 8 HP laptop! I print from Word (or anywhere) and I says completed, but nothing prints. I can even see the print spool and it looks like it goes through, but nothing prints. I even tried direct USB connection with the same problem.
    I can however print from the web using the ePrint (email to the printer), but that is impractical.
    This is a weird problem.
    I had a friend connect using their computer and it worked (wirelessly) and I can even print from my iPhone locally.
    This points to the HP laptop - I have removed the printer, reinstalled the drivers, ran all windows updates, reboted (computer and printer) multiple times and the same problem persists.
    Please help - very frustrated and ready to return the stupid printer.
    This question was solved.

    IT WORKED!!!!!!!!
    Thank you so very much! Now I can get back to work!

  • I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac.  The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

    I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac.  The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine.  Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
    The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection.  Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties).  The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8.  When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
    Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
    thx,

  • I have my new HD in a USB enclosure connected to my MacBook Pro and I want to put a fresh copy of Mountain Lion on it. But I do not have an install DVD as I got ML as a download from the App Store. What do I do?

    I have my new HD in a USB enclosure connected to my MacBook Pro and I want to put a fresh copy of Mountain Lion on it. I'm told that I need to boot from the Installation Disk to start. But I do not have an install DVD as I got ML as a download from the App Store. Can I download ML from the App Store again, but this time directly to my new HD?

    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    You can also use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your present setup to it and boot from it.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    However, SOME external enclosures are not bootable, you will soon find out.

  • I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..

    I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..

    Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
    While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
    (If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
    Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
    If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
    Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..
    john galt - Am I spelling OS X correctly?

  • I want to print from my deskjet 3050a connected to pavilion laptop by usb

    I didn't get my printer email when setting up. I need it to print from my laptop using the wire usb connection.  The wireless button is flashing on the printer, but i want the eprint button on instead. Nothing happens when I press it. Where do I go from here? I can't retrieve the printer email because I don't know how to reset up the printer to get it again (if it was there in the first place). I need the right printer email to register it first on the HP eprint site before I can continue. Is that right?

    HI,
    TO use eprint the printer needs to be connected to the network, it will no work via usb as far as i know.

  • Envy5532 - both PC and printer connect to WiFi router/network, but can't print from PC : (

    I have a new Envy 5532 and I want to print from my Windows 7 Pro PC via my wireless network/internet router.
    The PC is connected wirelessly to the internet through the router. The printer connects to the router/network without any problem. The printer also connects DIRECTLY to the PC wirelessly, and I can print from the PC if I disconnect from the router/WiFi network.
    So the router comes up as a network on the PC, and the printer comes up as a different network. But I can only print through the direct connection, which means I can only print, not scan. Also, it means I have to disconnect from the internet in order to print.
    I have run all diagnostics, installed the drivers, etc. but it seems to be a dead end.
    Any advise? Many thanks.

    Hi @DrivenDementet,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you cannot print from your PC to your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help you with your printing!
    Please see the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7. (This guide will help you get online and printing).
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. (This guide will help you maintain the connection).
    On top of the guides, I would also recommend this website, HP Wireless Printing Center, as there is some good information on wireless printing.
    it is also very important with wireless printing that the PC and the Printer are on the same wireless network, otherwise they will not be able to talk to each other.
    Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

  • Macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

    macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

    Hi, I used the Mac setup instructions, not the PC ones.  The printer was automatically recognised in print and scan when I connected it with a USB cable.  I accessed the server's web-based page and followed all the instructions, but still no joy.  Thanks for the tip about posting.  I have just posted in the section you suggested, so let's see what happens.  From a quick scan around the apple forums, lost of other people seem to having precisely the same problem (and not just with HP printers!), but unfortunately, no-one seems to be offering a solution!  And trying to get through to the apple online support is a complete waste of time.  They've been 'not available' for two days now.  Christmas/New Year shutdown, I suppose.  Thanks for all your help, though!

  • LaserJet Pro Scans, prints test page but will not print from a file

    I installed a LaserJet Pro200 MFP M276nw on my wife's Toshiba Satellite (Windows 7 64Bit OS) laptop yesterday (Printer is brand new out of the box). I installed with a wireless connection. It will print a test page and also scan wirelessly but will not print from a file i.e. a PDF. I installed it on my HP Probook this morning and it works fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The thought of paying Geek Squad 75 bucks rubs me the wrong way, especially since i just paid them 100 for an extended warranty. Thanks!

    Welcome to the HP Forums JBottensek,
    I see by your post that the printer won't print a PDF document from the one computer.
    I can help you with this issue.
    I have provided a document to go through the steps which should resolve this issue for not being able to print PDF documents. Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.
