HP 7210 cannot print wirelessly with Snow Leopard

After updating to Snow Leopard on my sons Mac Laptop his HP 7210 will no longer print wirelessly via airport extreme.
I am able to print with the printer directly hooked up to my computer with USB.
I reinstalled the printer driver, same results.
Then I d/l the drivers from Apple and still the same results.
Airport shows the printer as being hooked up.
Whenever I try to print wirelessly airport says it cannot find the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

How do you have the Officejet 7210 hooked up wirelessly? Is it plugged into the USB port on your Airport Extreme (which I assume is the case based on your comments, but I'm not 100% sure)? We have been receiving many complaints about this setup not working (as have other vendors) but I don't have a good answer why yet or how to work around it.
Out of curiosity, have you tried creating the print queue using the IP address of your Airport instead of using Bonjour?
Just trying to nail things down.

  • Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

    Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

    You question is garbled. Are you saying your iPad cannot connect to a laptop with Snow Leopard? Restart your computer. Start iTunes and check for updates. If there are any updates to itunes download and install it. Then restart your computer and start iTunes.
    Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    Finally connect your iPad to your computer. Use a USB on your computer that is not on the keyboard or connected to a hub.
    If you do these things and it still doesn't show up in iTunes on your computer report back here and explain clearly just what happened.

  • Airport express printing problem with Snow Leopard

    I am no longer able to print to my shared printer after upgrading to Snow Leopard. I get a message that starts with "communication failure the computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer". My network consists of a dual-band Airport extreme and an Airport Express. The dual-band Airport Extreme creates the network and is connected to the internet. The printer (HP LaserJet 1012) is connected to the AirPort Express. The AirPort express joins the dual-band Airport extreme network for the sole purpose of turning the HP LaserJet 1012 into a shared wireless printer. Everything was working fine before the upgrade to Snow Leopard. When I connect the printer directly to my MAC via USB, it prints fine. I can "see" the printer fine through bonjour when it is connected to the AirPort express, but I get a failure whenever I try to print to it. I have tried plugging and unplugging the device. I have effectively redownloaded the print-driver by connecting the printer directly to my MAC. It sounds like a Snow Leopard bug. Any suggestions for a work-around? Thanks.

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and had difficulties connecting to my HP Photosmart 7150 printer through Airport Express. Apple setup found a 3rd party printer driver by Gutenprint, which I downloaded and the printer works. But like it did under Leopard. Under the 10.5 OS, a print command would send a wake up signal to the HP, which automatically turned off after a period of idleness, and then print. Under 10.6, there is no wake up and I need to manually activate the printer. I went to the HP web site hoping to find a "new" driver for 10.6 and HP has posted a message saying it does not and will not be providing print driver for 10.6. It then has a long list of HP devices that cannot or will not print with Snow Leopard. So those with no-printing issues should check your model against the HP driver listing. I believe this is a neat way for HP to force Mac users who upgrade or install 10.6 to buy a new printer for which HP has a 10.6 driver. At least I can print and the only inconvenience that I can see if the lack of that wake up signal. My wife says it won't hurt me if I have to get up and walk to the room with the printer to turn it on!

  • A Temporary solution to printing problem with snow leopard

    I have an HP Color laserjet 3600 that wouldn't print after installing Snow Leopard. Not only that, but I couldn't print from another mac that had 10.5 on it.
    By trial and error, we discovered that if you reset airport by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable then the printer works.
    One word of caution. If you reset airport while in 10.6 - then the machine in 10.6 will print. If you then try to print using a machine with 10.5 - it may not print until you again reset airport.
    Hope this helps someone out there.

    Hello monsieurpaul and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    As strange as it may seem, the error can be caused by the driver. The Canon driver for your model has not been designed to work with mixed networks. It will only work with a direct USB connection to the Mac. When connected to the Dlink router, the driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer and will cause all sorts of errors. Therefore you need to use a CUPS based driver, such as those provided by Gutenprint.
    So, I would add the printer queue again, using the same configuration that Windows uses (IP - 192.168.1.3/lp1) but for the Print Using menu, type 3000 and select the entry showing 'Canon PIXMA iP3000 - Gutenprint'.
    Hope this helps.

  • I9900 printing options with snow leopard

    I have recently (3 weeks ago) purchased an imac 27" with snow leopard, I have an i9900 canon printer. When I add the printer and download the most recent driver per canon. I have no options (print quality, media type...nothing) the only option I have is page attributes. This is with any program word, CS4 etc.

    If someone could explain to me how to delete a printer correctly or do I go to the preferences and highlight the i9900 and click - sign. Then explain the proper procedure to connect and install driver maybe I can try that and see if it works. I would greatly appreciate the help. I did go to the canon website and download the most up to date driver as per canons directions.

  • Cannot print wirelessly with Samsung ML-2010.  Recently installed Leopard.

    i'm having an airport printing problem with my Samsung ML-2010. I have never used it with an airport express, but have successfully used my iBook G4 to print successfully using several airport connected printers.
    I have lost my "Printer Setup Utility" since recently installing Leopard. I have read this is a common problem.
    The point is that I can still print using my USB cord, but am having no luck with the airport. I also cannot add a printer using Rendezvous or Bonjour.

    Right then. He's a Mac-to-Printer direct work-around for the problem.
    Before you start. Ensure you have the ML-2010 driver installed. Connect the printer directly by USB to check.
    1. Open Print & Fax Preferences.
    2. Click on + to add printer.
    3. Select IP at the top of the page. Select HP JetDirect - Socket in the drop down.
    4. Enter the address of your AirPort Extreme (IP Address or name such as living-room.local) then add the socket number. 9100 for the first printer, 9101 for the second printer.
    4a. If you've got the address right it will verify this and confirm this on screen. It will select a generic postscript driver which you will change in step 6.
    5. Enter a Name and Location in the boxes at the bottom.
    6. In the Print Using box, choose Select Driver and then search for ML-2010 driver. Select it.
    7. Click Add and you're done.
    You will now have the printer included in your list.
    8. Click Open Print Queue.
    9. With the print Que open select from the Menu Bar: Printer > Print Test Page.
    10. Bingo you'll see the CUPS test page.
    Now. If you have a windows PC with Bonjour Printer Wizard and you've got a working printer queue. You can crib the network address by looking at the TCP port information for the print queue. It will reduce the amount of guessing. But generally, the hostname is base-station-name.local with the spaces replaced by hyphens.
    This should work for everyone and I so far (2 hours testing) I've not had a failed print.
    Good luck and quite honestly I can wait for the fix to the bungled update now.

  • Network printing problem with Snow Leopard

    Hi everybody,
    I am setting up a home network, mostly wired, with XP desktop and Macbook Pro (SL) and so far everything is OK except for the printer.
    It’s a Canon Pixma IP3000 plugged over USB on a D-link router (604UP) configured as a switch.
    * This printer works over the network with any XP computer. All I need is the router IP (192.168.1.3) and the queue name (lp1);
    * This printer works over the network with the Macbook on virtual OS (XP on Parallels desktop), same parameters as above;
    * This printer works with the Macbook on Snow Leopard when connected over USB (with the latest drivers from Apple BTW);
    * This printer doesn’t work over network with the Macbook on Snow Leopard.
    I have already tried several fixes and none worked so far. In the “Add printer windows”:
    * The default tab shows nothing;
    * The Windows tab shows my workgroup and the XP computers and that’s it;
    * A manual configuration with the IP tab, using IP “192.168.1.3” and “lp1” for queue stops when I select the printer driver : a small windows pops up a tenth of second and I am brought back to the “select the printer software” list;
    * A manual configuration with the Advanced tab using the address smb://192.168.1.3/ip3000 brings back a “NTSTATUS_ACCESSDENIED” error, that’s the best I got right now. I have tried several variant with different printer name or adding the workgroup name in the address, to no effect.
    As the printer is connected to a router and not another computer, I don’t have any username or password. Or have I ?
    Or it could be something very stupid as I am newb to networking and Mac OS X. Anyway I am lost and I thank you in advance.

  • Printer problems with snow leopard

    I updated to 10.6 and was fine with it until i tried printing on my HP laserjet P1006 not only was it not recognized, i even downloaded the driver from HP to no avail!!!! Next time i won't be so hasty to rush and upgrade my macbook. I should have know better because i never upgrade my Itunes because you lose the previous settings!! i am kicking myself right now!!!:(

    Andrew, you seem to know what's going on around here. Have you any solution for the fact that my HP psc 1355 all in one printer will not print now I have upgraded to Snow Leopard? I see from all these posts that very few printers seem to have been catered for by this upgrade.
    The HP site doesn't even mention this printer but it is only 3 years old at the most. I tried uninstalling it and downloading Rosetta before reinstalling but for some reason Rosetta would not download! I am now without a printer and getting preeettty mad!

    I am able to use Acrobat using a wireless router.
    Try the following:
    Get the latest update from Manufacturer. Then go to printer setup utility and remove the current version. ( Do this anyway even if the same version).
    Next plug Printer into a direct USB Connection. Now install Driver. Go back to Printer Setup Utility. and add Printer.
    Now print a document, to verify printer works.
    Now quit application, then shut down Computer.
    Now switch usb printer connector from USB connector on computer to USB connector on your router.
    Restart Computer.
    Now open an application that uses a printer and open a document. go to Printer and Look for the Following:
    Disregard the printer I have listed here that's my printer. If you see a Printer like this add to list by choosing the printer.
    Now go to Printer Setup verify it has been added. Make it the Default printer.
    Now Acrobat "should" be able to print from you printer.

  • Printer fail with Snow Leopard 10.6.1

    I have two GCC Elite printers (XL 20/600 & XL 12/600) connected on our office network. Upgraded to Snow Leopard, got them to print by using LPD process but now find that printing fails intermittently if there are a number of files in the queue.
    We are design studio, using Adobe CS4. The files are no bigger or detailed than when we were on Leopard.
    Any ideas?

    Hi TDCP - welcome to the forums.
    Printer drivers have taken a hit with SL.
    Unless you know for certain that your current drivers are fully compatible with SL, you may need to look for updates in that regard. Same goes for your Adobe products.
    Anything in CUPS that helps?

  • Slow wireless with Snow Leopard

    I've read many posts on the subject and tried most all the fixes, but nothing works and I need a work around.
    Here is a summary:
    Macbook Pro to Time Machine base wireless, through Actiontec GT701 DSL modem. Latest updates and firmware for all. Tested with all firewalls off.
    Had no speed problems before Snow Leopard.
    Web pages intermittently load very slow. Will work fast for a few minutes, then very slow for a longer periods of time, then repeat.
    Direct connect via Ethernet to Time Machine, no speed problem at any time.
    On different wireless hot spots including at work, no problem.
    Test of DSL speed shows steady high speed performance.
    Tried different DNS configurations, no effect. Tried at least 10 other recommended fixes,none worked.
    Put in older Linksys WRT54G V5 in place of Time Machine. Same problem.
    Same exact problem with my wife's MacBook Pro.
    This points to a problem between Snow Leopard and the ActionTec modem. But since it worked just great with Leopard, is there something I can change in the ActionTec or in Snow Leopard to get back the previous performance????
    I don't believe buying new hardware is a good trial and error solution, so I'm looking for a configuration solution.
    Thank you in advance for you suggestions.

    I am posting a solution that worked for me on this issue.
    This was similar to an issue I had back with Leopard (10.5) and Entourage. Using Entourage with my Exchange Server, every time an OS update would come up, my connection was unstable and would routinely disconnect for no reason. I found a solution on one of the Mac Boards on the Internet (I do not remember which) that fixed the issue, and that same fix seems to work for this slow WiFi connection problem. This assumes you have the problem with your home WiFi, or the WiFi WAP (Wireless Access Point) you are having connection issues with. In my case I was using an Apple Airport Time Capsule Access Point.
    I write these steps in the simplest terms possible to ensure even a novice can understand and follow.
    1- Go to you Keychain Access (Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access)
    2- Look for the name of your WiFi WAP/Server (It should say AirPort network password next to it)
    3- Double Click and then click on Show Password on the Attributes window (May ask you to Authenticate yourself for access to the Password)
    4- Write down the WAP Password (it may be case sensitive, so be exact)
    5- Close Attributes window
    6- Delete the entry with the name of the WiFi WAP name you selected on Step 2 above.
    7- Close Key Chain Access window
    8- Turn off your Airport on the menubar at the top of the screen (Airport Symbol -> Turn Airport Off)
    9- Open System Preferences (Icon on your Dock) and then Click on the Network Icon
    11- Click on the Airport entry and then on the Advanced button
    12- Click on the Network Name of the WiFi/WAP you deleted in the Keychain Access (Step 6)
    13- Click on the minus sign below the Network Names section (This deletes the WAP entry)
    14- Click OK
    15- Restart your Mac
    What these steps do is erase the main entries that automatically connects you to your Airport WAP/Network account.
    After Restart, do the following:
    1- Once your Mac has restarted, then turn on your Airport (Airport Symbol -> Turn Airport On)
    2- Once the Airport has scanned for available WAP's/Networks click on your chosen WAP/Network (assuming it is your Home WAP)
    3- It should ask you for the WAP/Network password (If it automatically connects to your WAP then you did not delete one of the entries listed previously in step 6 and/or 13. You will have to start over.)
    4- Input the Password you copied in step 4 above
    5- Airport Icon should show that you are connected by going from Grey to Black lines.
    6- You are done...
    Once you follow these steps you should be connected to the Internet. You can test your Internet speed at www.speedtest.net
    One optional step I do, which may make a difference for you, is that while the MacBook is restarting I disconnect power to the DSL modem for 10-15 seconds, and then re-connect it. This ensures you have a clean and renewed DSL connection with your provider.
    One note of caution on this... when I did this fix for my Entourage problem under Leopard (10.5), every time an incremental OS update would come up, I found myself having to repeat these steps over again. It was not until Snow Leopard was installed that this issue completely went away. It seems that a new OS installation fixed whatever gremlin was laying underneath all of this.
    This "Fix" did recently work on a 15" MacBook Pro 2009 model (10.6.5) that belongs to a friend of mine, and was experiencing very slow Internet WiFi speeds at his home. I hope it also works for you.
    Good luck....

  • Printer compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I think my 5 year old Canon iP4000R workhorse printer may have died... I may try to get it repaired; but wondering if there are any of you out there who can recommend another printer? IT MUST HAVE WIRED INTERNET CONNECTION. I like the 2 side printing and the CD/DVD printer - and the quality and build of Canon-- but it must work with Mac OS X 10.6.x
    I've seen the PIXMA MP640 and the MP990 both seem to have internet cable connectivity (and WiFi and the other things) - they seem to be copiers / scanners which is OK but not necessary - I have a fine copier and scanner already. But OK if no printer exists with internet... I guess I could consider a color Laser- they must all work with Mac OS X 10.6.x???
    Thanks for any input here - of course the key is compatibility with Mac - that's why I am posting here-- but any experiences with Canon or other printers - been 5 years since I've looked and in a bit of a jam now - glad my 13 years old Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS is still doing fine!
    Really appreciate any and all comments.
    Best regards,

    Hi Steve,
    I use an MP980 at work and the photo printing (I use a copier for document printing), scanning and CD/DVD printing have all been good on 10.6. I have it connected via wireless to a NetGear access point and have had little trouble with its operation. I would therefore expect the MP990 to work in very much the same way.
    I was also looking at replacing my iP5200R at home, which connects to my Airport Extreme via wireless, and had a look at the iP4700, thinking it was a very similar looking model. However this printer does not offer any sort of networking - it's USB only. And checking further it appears that all the current models of iP only have USB. If you want network you have to look at the AIO MP or MX series.

  • Cannot print wirelessly os x leopard to Epson cx8400

    I have upgraded to leopard and I can no longer print wirelessly to this printer :Epson cx8400. I can print on the cx4800 at work, but not to this one at home. I CAN print usb to this printer. Help please???

    You can't do that. Besides being illegal, the disks for Quad-Core are specific to the hardware in that box and will not work in another Mac as you are finding out.

  • ICal backed up with Leopard cannot be open with Snow Leopard!!!!

    I cloned my MacBook Pro HD to an external one while using OSX 10.5. After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 when I try to open iCal on the external HD there is a message saying "You can't use this version of the application iCal.app with this version of Mac OS X. You have iCal.app 3.0.8".
    In fact, the external HD version of iCal is 3.0.7.
    With the upgrade to SL the version changed to 4.0.
    The same thing occurs trying to open Mail; it tells me the external HD version is 3.6, while the SL version is 4.1
    Apple support told me that in fact this is the way it is supposed to work!!!! So am I totally stuck? Is the clone totally worthless?
    Has Apple ever been this "intelligent" before?? How many other "improvements" have they made?
    Can anybody help me?

    So why are you trying to run an application from a clone of Leopard while started up from Snow Leopard? If you start up from the clone, you will be running Leopard & all the Leopard versions of the apps will run just fine. If you start up from Snow Leopard, all the Snow Leopard versions of the apps will run just fine.
