HP C4480 Windows 7 wireless finds printer but won't print to it

I have a 3 PC network with a Cisco wireless router. My C4480 is connected to a wired desktop running Windows 7 64 bit with updated HP drivers for the printer. I have shared the printer, both directly and using the Homegroup. I can connect to the printer with a wired XP desktop.
However, I cannot connect to it with my Windows 7 32 bit laptop. The laptop finds it when I set up the homegroup, and I can see it in the device display. However, nothing prints. I also followed a suggestion on the Microsoft site, and set up a local port for the printer, mapping it directly to the desktop PC and printer. Again, the printer is found, and displays (and yes, I've turned off the homegroup printer sharing on both the desktop and the laptop).
But it still doesn't print.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

I'm a bit confused about why you are using a print server with a printer that has built-in ethernet?
(Built-in ethernet means it has a built-in print server. The major problem you are having is that the HP/OS X driver for this printer uses Bonjour (Bonjour Only) to communicate with the built-in print server. Since you've added an extra layer with the print server, I doubt that the HP driver will work.)
Just figured it out - you need the printer in a location that isn't convenient for ethernet, right.
Some choices - There is an open source driver, foo2hp, plus ESP ghostscript plus Foomatic-rip:

Or, try some kind of wireless to ethernet bridge (so you can use the built-in print server and driver).
Or, get a different printer.

  • My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. Wireless commands from my computer to printer work

    My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. I've disconnected and reconnected printer, turned iPad off and on.  My computer communicates well wirelessly with the printer. Troubleshoot further?

    I would try a hard reset on the iPad.
    To do so, hold both the home button and sleep button down at the same time.
    Keep holding them until the device restarts and you see the Apple logo.
    Once you see the Apple logo, you can go ahead and release the buttons.
    Once the iPad is booted back up, try to print to your 7510 again.
    Let know if that helps resolve your issue or not.
    Best of luck,

  • 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?

    Hi, it's not clear... did you Rest the Printing system on the Mac?
    10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8 instructions...
    In System Preferences>Fax & Print, Right click or Control+click on the Printers list Sidebar, choose Reset Printing System.
    if you hold option and click the "-" tab it resets the printing system.
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
    Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.

  • My canon 5320 has ink but won't print on mac os 10.7.5

    my canon 5320 has ink but won't print on mac os 10.7.5

    Hi olschoolmike_1,
    To try and resolve the issue, you will want to confirm that the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly by printing a nozzle check pattern from the printer.  If the pattern does not print correctly, we recommend performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer to try and get the ink to print..  To print the nozzle check pattern and perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located here.  If you still experience difficulty after performing the cleanings, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

    Hello schmittl,
    Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
                                            I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see that you are having an issue when it comes to scanning to the computer.
    The error that appears when attempting to scan is accurate. I suggest that if you are using a anti virus protection or firewall, you disable the protection and reboot the computer and the printer and attempt your scan again.
    With the anti virus and/or firewall disabled, please fun the HP Print and Scan Doctor once again as well.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • 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 2300n not printing reinstalled drivers says ready but won't print

    laserjet 2300 will not print I have reinstalled drivers and it says ready to print, but when i print test page or word document it does not print? anyone have ideas??

    Hi steveflash,
    I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community,  as the HP LaserJet 2300 Printer series is a commercial model.
    My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
    Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging.  When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
    You may find the HP LaserJet 2300 Printer series support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
    Best of luck.

  • Iphone show connection to printer, but nothing is printing

    iphone show connection to my printer, but nothing is printing.

    One thing you might try is to download the (free) Epson iPrint app from the App Store.  See if that app sees your printer, and, if so, try the "Maintenance" button in the lower left, including its "firmware update" (which is under "Printer Settings").  Make sure the iPrint shows the ink levels.

  • HP2540 A-i-O Scans but won't print. Windows 8.1

    My new PC, running Windows 8.1, forced me to buy a new printer, as it doesn't support drivers for my old 6122!
    I have installed the printer for wireless operation, through my home hub,  and Diagnostic Results says "No problems found."  All results are "Pass".  The printer is listed in Devices and in the document print menu, and on trying to print a document, the doc appears in the Print Queue for about 10 seconds, and then disappears without registering on the printer's counter.
    The printer scans perfectly!
    Print & Scanner Doctor downloads, but stops during extraction, saying that it has encountered an (unspecified) error.
    This has been frustrating me for several days, as I have tried everything.

    Hello @Woolwinder , and weclome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're experiencing print issues.  I would like to help!
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
