HP 6500A printer not found on Ipad

Purchased a new Imac and bought the HP 6500A printer which is one of the ones Ipad can use. I try to print but keep getting "no printer found. I know the printer has a wireless connection because I am able to print from my Imac. What am I doing wron?

BeerBasket,
First, have you updated the Printers firmware to the latest version? The Printer comes out of the box without support for AirPrint. You can run the update from the front panel of the Printer. There are some additional trouble shooting steps in my [FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658560&tstart=0] thread. If you have verified you have the latest firmware, and have done all the trouble shooting steps, post back and we'll see what we can do.
Just trying to help.

Printer not found all of a sudden

I've been merrily printing away from safari to my wireless HP Photosmart C4700 printer for a few months utilizing HD Print Magic when all of a sudden today it's not working. When I click print in safari to print a page, it says printer not found. Normally I click print in safari and it sends it through print magic. I wondered if print magic was seeing the printer, so I opened print magic and indeed the printer was there. Somehow safari is not seeing my printer. Does anyone know how to rectify this? Help would be appreciated!!

If it is a Safari thing only, maybe resetting Safari as described below will help. The first thing that I would try if you haven't done so already is to simply restart your iPad. These are all sort of generic type things but you can give them a shot ....
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Then restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Try to print again.
Try this as well. Close Safari and all open apps. If Safari is open - you have to tap the home button before you close the apps. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar. Tap and hold down on any app icon in the task bar until it wiggles. Then tap the minus signs in the corner of the app icons to close them all. Then restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. See if you can print now.
I guess you could also try rebooting your router - sometimes that can fix wireless issues that crop up. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds untilt the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider. See if you can print now.

Hp 5535 will not scan, error message printer not found

I have a HP Envy 5535. I have only been able to scan one time with it. I scanned 22 documents, after running HP Scan Doc 4.4. Each time the HP Scan Doc states that everything is OK, yet as soon as I try to do even a test scan, I get the error message "Printer not found." I have also tried to run this scan with my McAfee virus firewall off, and it still doesn't work. I have also identified it on McAfee as part of my network.
This question was solved.

Hi @prazdancr,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 5535, but I am happy to help!
For further assistance I will need to know:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide. A 'The computer is not responding' Error Message Displays During Scanning.
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a nice day!

I can no longer print using wifi. I have to connect a USB cable to print. Setup and pref show that I should be able to print wireless but I keep getting printer not found msg when trying.

I can no longer print via wifi. I could at one time but now I have to connect to printer with USB. All settings appear correct in printer and macbook. Sys pref shows printer with green light next to idle. Sending a print prompt results in "searching for printer, printer not found, ensure printer is turned on". I have reinstalled printer in my print list and reinstalled printer software on macbook. Kodak 5250 AiO printer shows it's configured for and on wifi channel. I go online with laptop using wireless but cannot print. Help!

If you know the IP address of the printer, then you can check if there is a working path between the Mac and printer. This can be done using Network Utility or a web browser.
If you open Network Utility and select the Ping tab, you can enter the IP address of the Kodak and then press the Ping button. If there is a working connection then you should get a reply to each packet sent.
With the web browser, many devices have a built-in web server so you can type the IP address of the printer into the browser and if there is a working connection then you will open the printers web page.
So, are you able to confirm you have a working connection between the Mac and printer?

Printer not working following iPad uodate

Printer not working following iPad upgrade

Hi,
Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

Printer not found but my 5510 is connected to the network

Help, my 5510 B111a printer was working fine then suddenly it stopped finding my computer to scan to, and my printed couldn't find it to print to.
I have recently changed my broadband to BT Infinitty 2, but it was working after I changed.
I have restored the the printer to factory settings and reinstalled the new router and it is showing as being connected to the network and shows the IP address.
I re-installed the driver on my laptop but when it tries to add it to the network it comes up as 'printer not found'. I entered the IP adress it gave me when I connected it to the network but it still comes up as not found.
Going a bit mad here now, can anyone help please?

Sorry that you are having a problem with the printer not being found.
Try to disable the firewall and anti-virus.
Also, plug in a USB cable and see if it gets recognized. If so, then it is something on the network that is blocking the printer ports.

I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it? I have no trouble printing from my computer.

... Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it?
I rebooted my Airport Extreme.
Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.

Printing booklet duplex on 6500a+ printer not working

Printing booklet in duplex on 6500a+ printer with the following print settings is not working. I have no problem printing this same booklet duplex on the 6500 base printer.
The problem wasn't the 6500a+, it was MS Word 2007. With MS Word 2010, it printed the booklet in duplex just fine. Here's the matrix:
MS Word 2007 and HP 6500, prints booklet in duplex automatically.
MS Word 2007 and HP 6500A+, must duplex manually.
MS Word 2010 and HP 6500, must duplex manually.
MS Word 2010 and HP 6500A+, prints booklet in duplex automatically.

Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone

And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!

To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo. Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind. This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
I come from a photograpic background. I got the Pogo as soon as it came out. I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it. Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids. While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released. So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen. (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me. But, yes, it would be nice.)
I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints. Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340. But it's still Bluetooth only. So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon. IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing. But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath

Photosmart d110a printer not found

photosmart d110a on a mac with os lion via wireless connection
The printer had been working fine until today. We updated to LION in December but printed fine until today...
I went to support for help. So I went and downloaded latest software and drivers on computer and even used a USB cable so I could check for firmware updates on the printer itself; it said it had latest updates already.
So I go to the HP Installer download (from what was downloaded from updates) and commence to update and configure the printer. My mac can't find the printer still so I use a USB cable to connect them (following directions as I am prompted). Message says 'software is successfully installed. You are now ready to set up your device and software.' I disconnect USB cable.
I click continue and my device is not listed. I even go back to HP site and follow instructions on how to enter the IP manually and still it will not connect.
So I plug the USB back in to mac and it shows my device. I click configure...says it is compatible with wireless networks and I check off box that says "configure your device for a wireless netwk".
Next window says 'application has detected your device is currently connected to the following wireless netwk..." I confirm the wireless settings as correct and say to keep the settings and click continue.
Next window says 'HP device is now configured correctly' and the IP address listed matches the one on my wireless netwk test print pages that I ran and printed earlier. (I turned off printer twice and reran the wireless netwk test and it prints out 'congratulations on successful setup of your wireless printer', shows 'excellent' signal quality and the same info each time...same IP address, etc) **Bottom of this window says "IMPORTANT: please disconnect the USB cable connected to your device now." So I do and click continue.
POP UP says 'device not found on netwk'...'wireless netwk settings were successfully downloaded to your device. However, your Mac was unable to locate the device on the netwk. Please make sure that : Mac is connected to device wired or wireless, device is connected to wireless netwk....'
Not sure if this is worth noting but while the printer is connected via USB, it will print.
Please help! I am sooo confused!!!

Hi MiltonLafer,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand you cannot install your HP Photosmart D110a with Windows 7. I am happy to help you! I have a couple of questions for you:
How is your printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Are you using the CD for the install or the online download?
If you are using the CD, I would recommend to try the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows instead, to see if that works.
Hope this helps you, and have a great day!

HP Photosmart 7510 series printer (Printer not found)

My HP Photosmart 7510 printer was operating normal. Then when I tried to scan to the computer I got the following "The HP Photosmart series was not found." Then I received the following "The device you are trying to access has generated an error; Please ensure that the device has been properly confiqured." All of the other functions of my printer are working normally. It prints from the computer, it FAXs correctly (both transmitting and receiving) and copies. I have not made a changes to the system. What must I do to get the scanning function back?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @trebor-340-ste ,
I saw your post about the scanning issue you are facing with your Photosmart 7510 and would like to try and help out! I thank you for letting me know you can copy and print!
Could you please respond with which OS you are running and I will research this for you.
In the meantime, please try a power reset and ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly. If you are connected wireless on ethernet, also unplug your router for a minute before starting up the printer and computer.
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Thank you

IP address not found? Ipad/macbook air webdav & airport express

I finally got my macbook air set up to use the webDAV with my iPad3. For the longest time it was erroring, and not working, but now I finally got it to actually try connecting, but it says the server is not found.
I have Airport Express as my router which is assigning my computer an IP address as "xx.x.x.xx" I'm not sure if this format is the problem, or if there is something else I need to adjust on the macbook air to allow it to be found, or if I missed something in the webDAV set up that would cause this issue.
I have been working on this all day, so this is officially driving me nuts. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Cher

padlock symbol means that you need to either input your network password or you need to input your computer admin password.... whichever is applicable to the current situation.
If you bring down the airport menu item and click on Join Other Network, do you get a blank for network and password. Fill those in and see what happens. You did create a wifi network name?
Did you setup a wireless network? If not, then that would have to be one step in your procedure.

HP 8600 not found by iPad or iPhones

We had a new router installed by our internet company now my ipad, my iphone 5 and iphone 4 and apple tv can not find the printer. the printer is not an air print printer. We keep getting the message no air printer found. All of these devices were able to print prior to the new router.
My MacBook Air was not able to print also but afte 3 hours of trial and error I did get hat to work

Hi,
Apple's Airprint relies on Bonjour (mDNS), that should be supported and enabled by your router in order to operate.
Please clarify your router brand and model, I will do my best to guide you further accordingly.

2. Make sure your iPad and printer are connected to the same WiFi network.
3. What type of router are you using?
4. Reset the router, printer and iPad and try again.
