HP Deskjet 3740 Compatibility

Is the HP Deskjet 3740 compatible with the AirPort Express? It isn't recognized when plugged into the USB port of the AirPort Express, but is when plugged in directly to the laptop.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello motor8448,
The printer you have does not support ePrint or Airprint features. To print from your touchpad you will have to use alternate cloud printing options such as Google Cloud Print. More information on how to use this setup can be found at:

Hope this helps.

IMac and HP Deskjet 1050 Compatibility

Hi, I'm new to iMac. Just got my iMac with OS X Lion. I have trouble in printing using my HP Deskjet 1050 (all-in-one). Downloaded the HP driver from the following link:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL39593/dj-96583-8/HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.1 3.17.dmg
I was able to install it and add my printer as well and I kept it as my default printer. During installation, iMac recognized and did not throw any error. When I tried to print a doc from "Pages", I keep getting the message "will print when printer is available". Printer is connected and switched on. Can someone tell me what is missing here? Thanks.

My hp printer is now compatible to mac now. I scanned an image and then printer started working.

Problems with using Deskjet 3745 on 2-PC home network

I have an old PC running Windows XP SP3 and a new one running Windows 7, but only one printer. The network connecting the PCs is on an ADSL router with to its own external Iomega network drive with a USB port.
To make the printer usable on both PCs,
I originally connected it to the Iomega USB port. But the port was effectively a 1-way connection only, so I could not get a print-preview to see which form/profile the printer was using. So I junked that and...
reverted to connecting the printer to one PC permanently and sharing it on the network. But the two PCs required different drivers which would not talk to each other, and the set-up simply would not work.
Finally I went back to the straightforward method of plugging the printer into the USB port of whichever PC I needed to us it on. That worked fine for a while until the WIN 7
print-preview started showing blank images (but printing correctly).
print-spooling failed to cope with cancelled documents.
I have had Deskjet Support's help in trying to sort this out, which including reinstalling the drivers on both PCs - several times! But I am still left with solution 3 giving problems with Win 7.
Has anybody encountered a similar situation and found a satisfactory working solution?
This question was solved.

Try the following: connect the printer to the XP machine and set the XP machine to share this on the network. On the Windows 7 machine go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then click on Windows Update and then select the HP (not Hewlett-Packard) Deskjet 3740 series (LiDiL).

Airport Express printing with HP printer suddenly stopped

* I posted this in a different forum... thought I'd give it a try here *
I'm using an iBook G4 with an AirPort Express Basestation and an HP Deskjet 3740.
I know that the printer isn't on the list of "approved" printers BUT all had been going well for weeks but one day my printer stopped working with the AE (I can still print if I plug the printer directly into my computer).
I've tried going back to the older firmware update.
I've tried using the suggestions at iFelix (many people have had success with this but it hasn't worked for me... could I be doing something wrong?)
When I open the printer utility and try to add a printer to rendezvous it searchs for a driver. My printer is listed in the window but it says no driver is found and I can't add it to the list.
Any suggestions? I've even tried restoring my AE to factory settings.
Thanks for any help!

If you are using the AirPort Express and your main wireless router, you need to look for an all in one that can connect and function over a wireless network.
If you are using another router there with an available ethernet port, look for an ethernet network device.
Bottom line, your device needs to connect to your network using wireless or ethernet, not USB.

Leopard: Network WiFi Printer Not Visible

I just got a new MacBook to replace my dying PowerBook G4. Both laptops are connected via wireless network to my old Cube desktop, where my HP Deskjet 3740 is connected via USB cable. All three computers can see each other's hard drive, but the new MacBook cannot find the printer. I can't add it, and it doesn't automatically see it on the network when I tell it to look in The-Cube.local. (The Cube has an old version of OS X because the hard drive is maxed and it can't handle the new stuff. However, that never prevented the PowerBook G4 from printing.) Help!
The Cube: Mac OS X 10.3.9 - prints fine
MacBook: Mac OS X 10.5.1 - no printing
PowerBook G4: Mac OS X 10.4.11 - prints fine

Hi bjp123-
Is the printer OSX 10.5.1 compatible?
Have you checked HP's website for a possible updated driver?

I'm getting annoying pop-ups on Safari; MacKeeper, Free Cam Secrets, Chrome User Survey.

I've followed (I believe correctly) the directions in The Safe Mac to check the launch files and it always says nothing is found. I've also checked Safari's Extensions. The only thing I've done recently is install Photoshop Elements 10. Other than that, nothing's changed. I don't know what more to do and I've got a tremendous headache! Please help. (If I've not posted correctly here, I apologize; this is my first time doing this.) BTW, I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels but that hasn't presented any problem. The pop-ups started in just the last few days.

I appreciate any help I can get.

The router has been hacked to direct DNS queries to a malicious server.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to reset it to the default state. Usually that involves inserting the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool into a pinhole somewhere in the back of the device, and pressing a switch inside for about 15 seconds. The pinhole may be marked "RESET."
Repeat the initial setup process. Make sure the router does not allow remote setup from the Internet (WAN port), if it has that feature—most do. The DNS servers should be set automatically by your ISP.
If you have a wireless network, it must be secured with WPA 2 encryption. The passwords for the network and the router must each be a string of at least 10 random upper- and lower-case letters and digits, and they should be different. Any password that you can remember is weak.
You are wasting your time deleting files on the computer. Those files are not related to the problem in any way.

Airport Express not working when used with Broadband Router **HELP!!!**

Hello.
I have an ethernet network in my house, and I am connected to the network via a Linksys router for Broadband VOIP and internet. I am on a G5 in my home office and want to stream music to my Airport Express for my home stereo in the living room, via the ethernet connection.
The problem is that when using the router in my network, only the Admin Utility sees the base station-- iTunes does not.
If I remove the router from the equation altogether and plug the network ethernet cable directly into the G5, the AX in the other room works just fine and I can get internet on the G5 in the office. The problem is that I need the router to operate my Vonage VOIP phone service and to connect a second computer to the internet as well. The IP address for the router in the home office is "192.168.x.xxx" and when I try moving it to the living room and connecting the AX to it, the Admin Asst doesn't see the AX at all.
When I connect the router to the network in the office, I can use internet on both computers and the VOIP phone service, and the AX Admin Asst. sees the base station from the other room. But again, iTunes does not.
Is there a way to configure the router to see the AX?
Thanks for your help!

Forgive me if this a little off thread, but I have just managed to get this to work and thought it might help people with similar configuration issues (mix manufacturer wireless networks)
I received an Airport Express (FW v. 6.3) for Christmas this year. I already am using a D-Link DI-524 wireless(G) router (Rev A FW 1.03) for my Comcast cable modem in my house (downstairs). What I wanted to do is to add the Airport Express in my office upstairs to my network (client mode) so that I could print from my HP Deskjet 3740 printer and listen to iTunes on my stereo through Airtunes. I have two iBooks (G3) with regular (802.11b) airport cards in them) running Tiger.
I ran into a couple of snags though. I could see the printer in Rendezvou and I could see the airport express in iTunes. I however could not print to the printer or connect to the speakers. I was able to connect to the speakers very intermittenly and then the audio would be disrupted every few seconds.
After a bit of hacking, what I found is that it seems that WPA PSK security doesn't work between the two. I changed the security to 128 bit WEP (ASCII mode). This means that you need an exactly 13 character pass phrase. This is necessary because Apple (and pretty much only Apple) supports 40 bit WEP (5 chars) and D-Link (and the rest of the Windows wireless universe) supports 64 bit WEP (7 chars), but they both support 128 bit WEP. I assume you could set both up as an open network if you were far enough from your neighbors, but I am in a townhouse complex, so I thought I probably better have some security on the network.
Now I only see one network (the one set up on my D-Link router) and I can print to my printer and stream to my stereo through iTunes (without disruption). Seems to work seemlessly now.
I should also mention that I did about three other things. I moved the LAN subnet on the D-link router to 192.168.1.1 (DHCP client address are now between 1.100 and .1.200) I had heard that this was necessary since both routers tried to use the 192.168.0 subnet, but I think this is only necessary in relay mode. I also statically assigned the IP address for the Airport Express. Finally I set up a firewall rule of Source WAN/LAN IP addresses of 192.168.1.100-200 of any protocol from ports 1-20000 to the same destination address range should be allowed to allow for all LAN traffic to be passed. I am very certain this is unnecessary and possible dangerous for security, but I thought I should mention that I did it.
Hope this might help someone.

"Installable Options" - blank, none available for HP printer

I have MacBook and HP Deskjet 3740 printer. The printer has installed and prints OK but I cannot find option to print in draft (as I always did with my previous Windows system). I have looked for the equivalent of the Windows print options panel - preferences/printer/set up but the "Installable Options" screen is blank. Help!!

Hi @jank,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are wondering if an app you used to have is still available for Windows 8.1.
The app you mention in your post predates my time with HP and I had to do some digging around. I was able to find out that at one time an app similar to the one you mentioned did exist, but no one I worked with was able to remember the name of it or how it worked. It appears that it is no longer available.

Can't open printer connection

I now have the following setup:
iMac G5 (LAN port) <--> Belkin 5-Port Network Switch via Ethernet
HP 7210 (LAN port) <--> Belkin 5-Port Network Switch via Ethernet
Airport Extreme Base Station (LAN port) <--> Belkin 5-Port Network Switch via Ethernet
Cable modem <--> Airport Extreme Base Station (WAN port)
The network seems to be working fine as far as internet access goes. On the Airport Admin Utility, I have the Distribute IP addresses box checked.
When I try to print, the HP Officejet 7200 series dialog box opens and says "Opening printer connection" but nothing ever happens.
What do I do?

HI Sean:
I had the same problem too!!! I was getting frustrated because I was trying to
get my hp photosmart 7260 and my hp deskjet 3740 to print wirelessly. The solution I found by accident. What happened is that my network went down so I decided to unplug my cable modem connection from the Lan Connection on the Airport Extreme Router and plug it in the Wan connection and presto my printers were printing wirelessly. When that happened I literaly just wanted to cry in happiness.
Hope this works for you. Please let me know what happens. My email is [email protected] if you want to contact me.

Install DeskJet 720C in compatibility mode in Windows 8.1

Hi
I have a Deskjet 720C than work fine on my Window 7 64 bit system.
Now I want to use it on a Windows 8.1 64 bit system.
The driver installed with Windows Update does not work.
Can I install it in compatibility mode?
How do I do that?
There is no driver installation file that I can set into compatibility mode, but only the Window Update way of getting the driver.
What do I do?
Jens

The Deskjet 720c driver does not work in Windows 8.1 x64 and there is currently not any workaround that I know of. The 32 bit version of the driver will work in 32 bit Windows 8 or 8.1 systems. The patch available here for 64 bit versions of Vista and Windows 7 does not work in Windows 8 or 8.1. I would suggest you subscribe to that thread, if any workaround is developed it would be posted there.

DeskJet All in One printer cartridge compatibility

Hi there. I hope you can help me. So my dad gave me this wonderful printer, the DeskJet 2544 all in one. Unfortunately, the tri. Color cartridge ran out. I was about to shop online on the HP website but there was no 301 tri color CH562E like the one installed on mine. I was thinking if I can buy other cartridges that can be an alternative? For example, the deskjet 2540 all in one uses HP 61 cartridge. Can I order and use that?<br><br>Also, what is the difference of a deskjet all in one printer and a DESKJET INK ADVANTAGE all in one printer? Can I use cartridges from that?<br><br>Thank you. Looking forward for someone to help.

Was the printer purchased on one country but you are in another? If so you will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work. HP's web page on the subject is here.
You can find the correct cartridges for your area from the HP SureSupply site.

I have an HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2060 All-in-one K110 and it came with HP cartridges (yes, I verified them) and at first my printer works perfectly fine, I can print documents, pictures and the like but recently I have been getting this error message telling me my cartidges arent compatible.
I tried cleaning my cartridges as advised here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01442936&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
and I tried restarting and such but it still doesnt work.
the indacator tells my my colored cartridge is low on ink but my black ink still has content. Im just trying to print Word documents and I cant seem to print them. Please help I have a paper due soon.

If you've followed all the troubleshooting then I'd suggest contacting HP Phone Support as you may require a replacement.
FYI, details on finding the warranty ends dates for cartridges are in the link below
