HP 7520 - Printer in Use - won't print from MAC

I have installed the the HP7520 on my MAC computer. I am connected wirelessly. When I attempt to print I get the message that the 'printer is in use'. I can access the printer from other computers in the house (non-Mac) and I can also print a test page from the Mac. I don't know how to solve this to get the printer to work from this computer, any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello Hiker01,
If you will use the printer on wireless router you have to ensure that the your routers bonjour specisification is on or added. Then go to add printer button and select the printer with bonjour name Please..

My iPad shows a message "Cannot find AirPrint printer". I used to use my iPad to print materials using HP wireless printer D110. Now it does not want to print. Is this because I am now using IOS 7? What should I do to solve the problem? Help please.

Restart your WiFi router and printer by removing power for 30 seconds.

I have created a family recipe book in iBooks - can I print it using iPhoto's print service?

I have created a family recipe book in iBooks - can I print it using iPhoto's print service? I don't want to print it on our home printer - I want to print multiple copies for family members through the Apple iPhoto book printing service. Can anyone help me please?

There is no Apple print service for iBooks, and iPhoto can also only print photo books created in iPhoto.
Print your iBook to pdf. Then you have several option:
Save the pdf to a thumbsdrive/stick and take it to the nearest print shop close to your home.
Search online for "self publishing" services available in your country.
Recreate your book as an iPhoto Book. This will be a lot of work, since iPhoto's templates are more suitable for Picture books than books with lots of formatted text. To speed things up, you could use "Preview" to export the pages of your book as jpegs (high quality, at least 300 dpi) and add themas full-page photos to a new PhotoBook. This can be sent to apple for printing.
But the first two options would be much less trouble and probably be less expensive.

How do I get Mac OSX 10.6.4 to print to a Canon iRC2380 colour printer? Using the driver in the Mac's list doesn't work., How do I get Mac OSX 10.6.4 to print to A Canon iRC2380 colour printer? Using the driver in the Mac's list doesn't work.

Not sure which driver you mean when you say "the driver in the Mac's list". Apple does not provide a driver for this device, so if you mean one of the default printers that are included with 10.6, like the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL, then these will only work if the optional PS or PCL print kits were installed in the machine. Given your inability to print then it would seem that you have neither kit installed. So this would require you to install the Canon UFR2 driver, which you can obtain via this link.
With the UFR2 driver installed, you add the printer using IP > LPD. Enter the IP address of the iRC2380, leave the Queue name blank and change the Name to iRC2380. Leave the Location field blank and in the Print Using menu, browse to the "Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (UK)". Click OK and then Add to complete the queue creation. You should now be able to print. Please reply if it does not work.

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

I have a canon pixma mx360 all in one printer and it won't print

my printer won't print I just replaced the ink. I tried to trouble shoot the printer, and it said that I had a printer error in the que.
I cleared the que and it still won't print. can you please help me figure this out? my printer is a pixma canon mx360 all in one
ink jet.

Hi wendasa,
If you have any antivirus or firewall programs on your computer, please temporarily disable them and then try to scan again. Sometimes these programs can block the scanning process of the printer. If you are still unable to scan, we can try scanning using the Microsoft Paint program to see if the scanner function of the printer is working. To attempt to scan using Microsoft Paint, please follow these steps:
1. Launch Windows Paint by pressing the Windows Key+ R, then typing mspaint, then clicking OK.
2. Once inside of Paint, in the upper left corner you will see a blue square; please click on that and select FROM SCANNER OR CAMERA. A window will appear asking you what device you want to use. Please select the PIXMA MX360, then press the OK button.
3. In the next window, you should have the option of selecting a document type; please select one, then press the SCAN button in the window.
Are you able to scan using Microsoft Paint?

Hp photosmart C7280 says "stopped" in print queue and won't print!

I just bought an hp photosmart C7280 today. It was a pretty simple setup with the actual printer and network and all. i download the updated driver from the hp website and all seemed kosher there too. now i click "print" and on the print queue page it says "stopped" and won't print!
ahhh please help? is this a good printer with macs anyways? it seemed kinda loud during the setup...

I too have gone through most of the problems described here but have finally been able to get the c7280 working properly, yet I'm still not very happy with the solution.
For connectivity reasons, I wanted to connect the aio to my network via ethernet cable directly to my router. While my computers will access the network wirelessly, I wanted the printer to have a solid connection. Unfortunately, I was never (and still can't) get it to work properly using this connection. What finally did work was using the wireless connection in the printer to connect to the network.
Why this would work wirelessly and not while directly connected is something no one has been able to explain. I still have the printer right next to my wireless router to interference doesn't seem to be a problem and it seems fast enough, but the fact that I can't get it working properly with a "less technically challenged" method, really bothers me. What if I didn't have a wireless network? While wireless is great, if there was an easy solution to have all my desktops connected via ethernet, I'd prefer it (easy being not having a bunch a cables around and perhaps a pre-wired network in my home!)
Anyway, I hope everyone who has this machine gets the problem worked out. Unfortunately, knowing what I know now, I don't think I would buy this one again unless the software was rock solid. Physically the unit works well, but is a little loud I admit and went through my black cartridge pretty fast even though I used in saving settings such as fast draft, etc.
Just as a side note, the HP support guy in Canada was fairly annoying. When we still couldn't get it working properly via ethernet, he insisted it must be a problem with Apple or a conflict with a program I have installed, etc,etc. and told me that every one of his customers that has Leopard also has this unit working 100% properly. I politely told him he needs to add me as his first failure!
OK, enough rant. Try connecting wirelessly and see if that works. I would uninstall the current printers as suggested, but also clear out the printer cache. Do this by right clicking in the add a printer box area and choose reset printing system. If all else fails and you upgraded to Leopard from Tiger, then......gulp...... uninstall Leopard and revert back to Tiger. Under Tiger, both my macs worked perfectly connected via ethernet printer connection. Good luck.

Smart print 2.5 won't print with ie 11

I have an office jet pro 8600 all in one printer.
smart print 2.1 and ie 10 worked fine.
when up grade to windows 8.1 installed so did ie 11.
smart print 2.1 went to 2.5. Smart print no longer functions.
is there a fix for this.

Hi 9952,
I understand you have an Officejet Pro 8600 and are attempting to use HP Smart Print with it and Internet Explorer 11. I will certainly do my best to advise why this issue has been happening.
In this Internet Explorer 9 and Later Versions are Not Compatible with HP Smart Web Printing document it explains that HP Smart Print is only compatible with Internet Explorer 10 and below. You can certainly look into downloading an older version of Internet Explorer so that you can use this feature, but at this time you won't be able to use HP Smart Print with IE 11.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

How do I find out the printing protocol used for a printer?

In System Preferences > Print & Scan, double-click a printer and click on the Printer Setup button.
Under the General tab, in Snow Leopard it used to list the printing protocol / url used to connect to a printer. In Lion it doesn't show that information anymore. Is there a way to still find out what protocol the print queue is trying to print via?
Thanks…

Use the web interface to the printing system. Go to http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/ and click on your printer. The protocol will be part of the Connection information.

Printing process used for iPhoto prints?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what printing process is used when ordering enlargements through iPhoto?
I've placed one of my photos in a international exhibit (yay!) and in preparation for the show, they want to know the printing process for inclusion on the display card. Is it a Chromogenic print, or a Gelatin silver print, or an Ultra-Chrome archival digital print, or an Archival Pigment print on watercolor paper, or a B&W Fiber print, or a Platinum print, etc...
I know that the print order was any of the above, but I'm wondering how I should reply to this request. Is it just a "Digital Print on photographic paper"? Or is there some more accurate way of describing the print process?
Thanks!!
-- John

This is the info from Kodak Print services:
http://www.kodakgallery.com/HelpAboutPrints.jsp?#printing
"We print your photos on high-quality Kodak paper, a resin-coated, silver-halide color paper optimized for digital printers. A light source inside our digital printers exposes the photographic paper pixel by pixel. This process mimics traditional photography, in which light from the subject exposes photographic film inside of a camera."
If you want more info about their archival process, you could try sending them an email.

Printing form using dot matrix printer

Dear experts,
I have a PO form and when printed using laser printer it works just fine, when use dot matrix printer with continuos form , the form's content started to be printed a bit lower compared to the laser printer, should i adjust the paper size in the se71 ?

Hi Johannes,
We have been know to go directly into the printer defintion and adjust the Horizontal and Veritical Shift. This can be found on the Output Attributes in the Additional SAPScript and Smart Form Information area. We give our A4 printers a slight Negative Horizontal and Positive Vertical shift to better center the output on the different paper size.

Raj

Select the printer tray using the Java Print Service with JDK 1.4.2

Hello,
I have got a problem with 1.4 Printing. I would like to specify the printer tray for printing on Windows platform (XP and NT4.0). I am trying to use the attribute javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray class (ex. MediaTray.BOTTOM).
Howerver, I can control the printer tray if I use the PCL driver of the printer. If I user the postscript driver I am not able to control the printer tray. I can reproduce the problem with 3 different printers (HP, Lexmark and Nashuatec).
I used the getSupportedAttributeValues to check the supported values of the Media
Media med[] = (Media[])service.getSupportedAttributeValues(Media.class, null, null);
for (int k=0; k<med.length; k++) {
System.out.println("Name : " + med[k].getClass() + " - Value : " + med[k].getValue());
With the PCL driver I have the following output and I can control the printer tray.
Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 0
Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 2
Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 4
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 0
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 1
With the postscript driver I have the following output and I cannot control the printer tray
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 5
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 6
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 7
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 8
Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 9
As I must use the postscript printer, can someone help me?
Thanks.

Hello,
Can you tell me how it's possible to selet the tray using the PCL?
I print on the following way:
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
AttributeSet aset = new HashAttributeSet();
aset.add(new PrinterName("\\\\107208\\SBE08111", null)); // select printer
......Now I tried to add your code and I get the following output:
0: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 40
1: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 41
2: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSizeName - Value : 45

17: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 6
18: Name : class javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaTray - Value : 4
19: Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 0
20: Name : class sun.print.Win32MediaTray - Value : 1
It's a printer with to trays, so I suppose the last two lines are important, but I'm not possible to effectively select the tray I want to print..

CUPS Network printer adds, but won't print...

My USB printer works fine, but my network printer is a much cheaper black and white laserjet that I normally print to. The problem is, I can add the printer just fine; the drivers and everything add just fine. When I go to actually print, I get the error message...
"Unable to locate printer '(enter printer name here)'".
The GNOME diagnostic tool recommends to go to System>Administration>Printing and enable it in the Policies tab, but every time I try that it almost immediately disables. The printer is a Brother HL-2170w, connected through our wireless network. This printer has worked with other distributions before, is there some user setting I'm missing?
Thanks!

Have you given your printer a static IP or dhcp reservation address?
I'm not really sure but isn't it just that your Arch setup doesn't have a way of resolving the printers hostname. The printer is using NetBIOS for broadcasting its name. I think you need a service on your arch setup that can resolve NetBIOS names or otherwise just use the printers IP.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52592
You could set your system up to use avahi and then instead of the putting the printers ip you could use the resolved name. For example on my computer once the avahi daemon is running
[craig@eee ~]$ avahi-resolve-host-name -a 192.168.1.150
192.168.1.150 BRN001BA903A786.local
then just use the BRN001BA903A786.local as the address
lpd://BRN001BA903A786.local/BINARY_P1
