HP 7510 + Mac (OS X 10.8) = Wireless printing and scanning fails

Hey guys,
After reading post after post on google and hp forums I am finally tired. I tried many things and nothing has come of it yet. I used to own one of these printers and everything worked great with my windows computer. I recently moved and purchased a new printer 7510 to use with my mac. Now the trouble is that it scans and prints.......sometimes. While other times it says no printer connected and then maybe after 15 minutes later it will print. But I am not able to scan all the time. I installed and uninstalled and nothing happened. I removed it from the list and added it once again and nothing. Please help because I just moved to a new loaction and I really need my scanner and printer to work. Thank you guys in advance.

Are you able to scan using any of the methods in this document from HP?
The behavior exhibited when using a non-HP program to scan will help isolate the problem.

Mac OS Lion - General Topic - Wireless Printer, Scanner, External Harddrive, Disk Management

Dear All,
I just fall in the mac world since I got an ipad and then an iphone and was very happy about these product I did purchased a mac mini server (Mac OS Lion 10.7.2 I think, basically the last version available).
But now I need to learn about the Mac OS world and this is not straight forward, particularly regarding my existing hardware devices installation (printer, scanner etc...).
I have some queries below, anyone who could help me is welcome.
Thanks for all your support,
Best Regards,
1. I have a wireless printer Samsung CLP315W for which I could download the driver and print through the USB cable but I did see yet how to make it work through the WI-FI network. I mean in windows, the printer was detected as shared printer on the network. How does it work here ?
2. I have a scanner canoscan Lide 30 which looks unfortunately not supported by Lion OS: indeed I could download the scanner toolbox labelled for "Mac OS" but I got the message: "PowerPC application not supported".
Do I have any chance to make this scanner working or must I throw it in the paper bin ? (I must say I am not satisfied by my Mac in this respect, I would expect a better compatibility with hardware devices.
3. I do have an external harddisk with various informations in as pictures, pdf files, offices files (word, excel) etc... This is a LaCie which was NTFS formatted with my previous computer based on windows OS.
At a first instance, it was recognized by my mac OS but all folders appears in read-only.
Do I have a way to apply the change to "full access" for all folders at once ?
Why is it in "read only" in mac OS when it is not under windows ?
Assuming I expect to continue using this disk as external backup but also expect to be able to access to it by windows OS computer, what is the best format ?
4. I bought a mac mini server with 2*500Go disk, but I just wonder: how to use this disk ? I mean I would see one disk as backup, somehow safe and the second use on daily basis when applications stands.
How does the disk management in general under Mac OS ?

Hi jean-jack,
The first thing you should look at, is if your are Mac enabled. If they are not, then there is a great chance that they will work badly or not at all.
About your questions:
1. Normally a Mac is supposed to detect it automatically and make it ready to use (try printing a document to see if this works). If your Mac doesn't recognize it, you can always add it manually in "printing and scanning" in your system preferences. This is accesible by just entering it in Spotlight (magnifying glass in the upper right corner) and adding it via the "+" icon (you may have to enter your password first using the lock in the lower left corner). After that he should recognize it as a WiFi printer and you should be able to use it.
2. Since it concerns an older scanner, it is simply not supported by Lion (Lion doesn't support PowerPC applications anymore). Therefore it is sadly ready for the trash can.
3. To change the accesibility of your hard disc to "full acces" you have to ctrl+click on the hard disc in Finder. In the drop down menu, you'll see the option "info". This option will open a small screen that allows you to adjust the settings for "sharing and responsibility" (found at the very bottom). Nevertheless I highly recommend you to format your hard disc to "exFAT" or "FAT32", because they give a much better compatibility to your Mac and are also readable on a Windows computer. You can do this by entering "disc aid program", once again in Spotlight. In this little program you are able to adjust the format of every single hard disc connected to your computer. Also not that this progress will completely erase all the files on your hard disc.
4. To split the hard disc into partitions, you can use the same program explained above. Simply choose your hard disc and press "adjust size". Here you can divide your hard disc into different partitions, which will be seen as different hard discs.
Good luck!

Wireless printer and wifi wont connect at same time

Hello
I have a Mac Mini with software version 10.6.8 I also have a HP wireless printer and for some reason cannot get my wirless internet and wireless printer to connect at the same time, to print anything I have to disconnect from the internet and to use the internet I have to disconnect from the printer can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Kiera

It sounds as though you did not configure your wireless printer to join your usual wireless network. It may be communicating directly with your Mini using an "ad-hoc" configuration, bypassing your wireless router. This will be inconvenient at best.
Refer to your HP printer's documentation to determine how to configure it to join your existing wireless network... the same one you use to connect to the Internet.

Suddenly My iphone 4s does not find my wireless printer and sometimes can't find the server.

All of a sudden My iPhone 4s cannot find my wireless printer and cannot connect to the internet all of t he time.

I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad. I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

Not with the built-in AirPrint print function. However, you can download free and cheap print apps that can provide some (limited) printing abilities. HP's iPrint is one of those.

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up. It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer. I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed. I am so frustrated!!! This has never happened in the past.

What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document

Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n wireless print and web app problem

We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-all-in-one Printer - E710n and run Windows 7 on our laptop.
I have run the wirelss setup wizard and have successfully connected the printer to the router, and both the laptop and printer are on the same network and have identical SSID.
However, we can not send any prints the printer wirelessly. We have to hook it up to the USB to do so. We are also unable to access our web apps; pressing the app button on the printer control panel brings up the following:
"Connection error. The printer was unable to connect to the server. Check your internet connection and try again."
I have run through the suggested solutions under "A Network Connected Printer Cannot Access Print Apps, Web Services, or ePrint" in the customer care help centre which didn't work, although when I tried to enter the IP address under IPv4 into the browser address bar it timed out. I tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor, but it returns a result that suggests everything is fine.
I turned off the firewall and tried again with no luck.
I really am at a loss now. Diagnostics say it should work, but it doesn't. Help!

Disable Bitdefender altogeher and try again.

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.

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..
