HP DeskJet 712c Driver and Wireless Print Server Setup

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am unable to setup my printer to print. Previous to using the MacBook Pro I was using a windows machine without any trouble printing to this printer, however now I can't locate the printer on a list of pre-installed drivers for Mac. I've already checked HP's website and was unable to find any drivers that were for Mac OS. What is a good alternative driver source? Once I do get the driver what would my next steps need to be to set up the wireless print server to work with my mac?
Printer: HP DeskJet 712c
Wireless Print Server: D-Link DP-311P
I would be grateful for guidance to go about this process so that I can use my printer again.
MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
Good luck.

Notebook using Vista and wireless print server and HP5500 printer problem

Installed std vista local driver for hp5550 printer with usb cable direct to printer. Works ok
Then, disconnected usb copper line to HP labtop and connected it into print server in router (D-link router to HP5500 printer).
Installed wireless network driver in labtop (vista os)(no updated hp driver available for Vista on HP site).
Print jobs just stack up in the que.
Used 192.168.0.1 address (which works fine for my other old win 98 computer).
Driver using the "raw" setting not "LPT"
Print Sharing is enabled.
Any suggestions?
p.s. The wirless system works fine on an old windows 98SE computer using the original 5550 installation disk.

Went back and installed the "Windows 2000 Print Server Software (from D-link Router 824vpn). I assume that this included the USP Shareport program that was recommend in a thread. I can now access router wirelessly. However, wireless print jobs go into que for hp5550, que emptys, but printer does not start up. Copper usb from printer to computer works fine (as separate printer)sta. Using HPdeskjet 5550 (HPA ) printer, port 192.168.0.1, printer name/ip 192.168.0.1, protocal 9100, raw setting, port 9100, LPR and SNMP are both blank. Any suggestions (OS is Vista). No drivers from Dlink or HP for this application. Thanks

WPSM54G and Vista won't print to HP Deskjet 5150

At the risk of opening an old discussion, I could not find the answer in the archives here but most threads end in early 2008 so I assume that the problem has been resolved. I have a Dell Studio 1737 with Vista (32bit), using a WPSM54G print server with a WRT54GS router. It will not print to a HP Deskjet 5150. It will print if I connect the USB port directly to my laptop therefore it shouldn't be the driver.
Both my desktops print to the printer through the print server - they are XP based. Both work wirelessly or connected. It is unlikely it is the router or the print server.
When installing the software on the laptop using the Linksys CD it gives a long message "We did not find the correct printer driver on your system" and so on. I have tried all suggestions such as using the original CD, downloading the driver from HP site, deleting all drivers and starting over. It keeps stopping at this message.
I have tried the tech help lines for over 6 hours now and have had no luck, they simply put me in remote mode and check the router and print server settings and then promising to call back. They have on occasion but no help. Also charged me 39 dollars because they needed to check the router IP address which is no longer under warranty. Glad to pay the dollars if it would solve the problem but it hasn't. Is there a solution out there such as a firmware upgrade or installation CD upgrade or something so that the installation will work with Vista?
Thanks for your patience.
Solved!

If you are getting that error message on your Computer.. This means you dont have enuff permissions to make the changes on your Computer, make sure you have logged into your Computer as an Administration..
If still you are unable to make the changes on your Router... then i think you need to Uninstall and Re-install the Printer drivers on your Computer back again and then try to add the ports on your computer...
Or else once you uninstall the Printer Drivers on your Computer.... Go to control pannel and click on Printer... and under Printer windows under task you need to click on "Add Printer" and Select "Local Printer" and uncheck "Automatically Detect the Install the Printer" and click on Next... You will get 2 Options "Local Printer" or "Standard TCP/IP Port" so you need to click on Standard TCP/IP Port and click on Next...when prompted for the "Printer Name or IP address"type the IP address of your Printserver and click on Next... then you need to select "Custom" and clik on Settings and under Protocol select "LPR" and under LPR Name Type LP1 and check the box LPR Bytes counting enable and click on Next and when it prompted you to select the Printer Driver then insert the Printer Driver CD and and install the Printer Drivers on your Computer Manually...
Once done sucessfully... i think you should be able to print.

Can't print from Mac to DeskJet D1530 over Linksys print server

The print job and printer both hang when trying to print to the DeskJet D1530.
I am using the drivers downloaded directly from HP and specifically for Snow Leopard.
When connected directly via USB, the printer installs itself and prints reliably.
However, this is a shared printer. The Mac has a wireless-G connection to a Linksys router, the router is connected to a Linksys print server via Ethernet. Then the printer is connected via USB to the print server.
I have 2 Windows laptops that print reliably via this configuration.
With the Mac, I configured it to use LPR over the IP address of the print server. It seems to connect to the print server and appears to be communicating with the printer. It even reports the ink levels in the cartridges. But when a print job is sent to the printer, the print status reports "Sending data file (0 bytes)" and the job just hangs unless a "cancel -a" is sent via terminal. It also prevents any other system from printing unless the printer and the print server are power cycled. I have occasionally coaxed a job out of the printer after the print server is power-cycled, however from the Mac's printer status, the job never completes and any subsequent print jobs will hang. I have to reboot the Mac to completely clear the print queue.
I have look online for instructions on configuring the printer, but all of them so far have yielded the same result.
This is not exactly an exotic setup, and it works with Windows systems. What am I doing wrong?

It usually comes as a surprise to Windows users that there are two kinds of print drivers on OS X. The older type are called monolithic drivers because they have everything in one package - postscript interpreter and communication device (USB) driver. With this type, the manufacturer gets to include exactly the components needed for the printer. The driver you got from HP is this type, and it is limited to USB Only.
To do network printing to a USB printer, you need a driver that allows more than just USB direct connection. You need a CUPS driver. One CUPS driver is Gutenprint, included in OS X by Apple. It may not include your model yet.
Get updated Gutenprint or hpijs drivers from:

Issues with Deskjet 5650 and Linksys wireless print server.

I have a iMac DP 1.8, a iMac G3 700 mhz running Tiger and a Toshiba laptop running XP and I am on a wireless network. I use a Linksys WRT54G router for the wireless and I am using a Linksys WPS54G wireless printserver to connect an HP Deskjet 5650 to the network. This was all working fine for the past 2 months until Monday evening when the Mac's lost connection to the printer. However the Toshiba can print to it just fine.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened. The iMac DP recently had a security update for intel installed this past Monday, but no updates have been installed on the G3 iMac. I have contacted Apple, HP and Linksys and they have been no help at all. Apple says it's a Linksys issue, Linksys says it's Apple issue and HP is just cluless. I would appreciate any assistance offered.
Thanks

Paul, I am amazed you were ever able to print via the Linksys wireless server on your mac. I have the identical router and print server, and only the Windows PC's on my wireless network have been able to share the printer on that wireless server. I've been unable to find a driver for my iMac, and could never get the iMac to find the server. Finally gave up and bought an HP 2600n color laser and connected it directly to the iMac via USB. You're right about lack of help from Linksys. There is an Apple folder under "unsupported" on the print server installation CD, but there's nothing helpful in there.

HP 5550 Deskjet + USB Print server under Windows 7

I have a HP deskjet 5550 which still runs fine. I use the printer as a network printer, at first connected to my router. However, my latest Thomson TG789 vn router does not support network printers anymore, so I switched to a dedicated network-to-USB print server set-up, using a separate Ethernet to   USB 2.0 Print Server device. The printserver is connected to my network switch, and gets an IP address via DHCP.
This works fine for machines running Vista (and XP before) but for some reason not for Windows 7, while the HP5550 Deskjet when directly connected via a USB cable to a Windows 7 machine works OK too.   When a print job is sent to the HP 5550 via the print server over the network, it looks like the printing is about to start, but the process halts at this point without further messages.
Also the HP Print and Scan Doctor - often a very useful tool - is in this case not able to make contact with the printer via the print server and to resolve the issue.
This may just require a small tweak; Perhaps anyone else encountered this issue and has the solution?
Thanks for sharing.

Deskjet F 4480 and a print server for network printing

I have a HP Pavilion (win 7) and an Acer netbook ( Win XPsp3) wirelessly networked with the HP Paviion as the host for the Deskjet multifunction printer. I would like to set up a print server to alleviate some problems we are having with the Acer accessing the printer. Uaually all is ok, but It seems that whenever that netbook is put into sleep mode, I have to reboot it, shut down the printer (even to the point of disconnecting the USB and power cords, and then re hooking up all the cables) to get ithe netbook to print. so, I am looking at installing a print server to get around this annoyance.
I am using a DLink WB-1310 router, BTW.
Any suggestions on a capable print server? Not to mention any other suggestions, which i certainly would appreciate.
Thank you, all.

HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:

Issue when using HP deskjet D1660 shared by printer server

Hi,
I'm trying to use HP D1660 through ReadyNAS's (network storage) printer server feature.
I connected D1660 and ReadyNAS through USB link. Using system preference-printer&fax, my mac perfectly sees exact printer name broadcasted through bonjour and I assigned snow leopard built-in driver for "HP deskjet D1600 series".
But it turns out not to be working.
Interesting thing is, it perfectly works when I try to print on my Windows 7 PC with exactly same configuration (readnas-d1660 shared on network)
Am I missing something?
I already tried every single protocols for network printers (IPP, LPD, HP jetdirect...).
I'm stuck...

Wireless Computer, Wireless Router, Wireless Print Server

I am having difficulty with a specific configuration trying to print wirelessly.
I have no problem printing from my iBook G4, Power Mac Dual G4 750, Dell Notebook, or Compaq Presario Desktop using this configuration: Linksys Wireless-G router and Linksys Wireless-G Print Server.
As long as the Print Server is connected to the Router via an ethernet cable, the network works fine - I can print from any computer.
The problem I am encountering comes from the fact that I now want to use the Print Server with another printer that is a seperate room from the router (I don't want to connect it with an ethernet cable). This shouldn't be a problem since it's a wireless print server.
I had always used a static IP to access and configure the router, but now that I have removed the ethernet connection I can't log in. In fact, when it is plugged into a different port on the router (via ethernet) I can't log into it either. When I reconnect it the original way, it is not problem.
Running the original install software on my PCs doesn't help either.
How can I make this work?
Can my wireless computers (e.g. iBook with Airport Extreme wireless card) talk directly to the Print Server, or does it talk to the Print Server via the wireless router?
I don't have an Airport base.
Any help would be appreciated.

I do not think I can help you with your question however I have the same router and print server and I too have never been able to get the print server to work wirelessly. It's a real kick in the head too because the linksys tech nubs just talk you around in a circle saying that the deivce is wireless but that you have to use the wire. I don't know maybe its me...
Nonetheless I now have a mac laptop that works the the router but I can not get the powerbook to connect the the print server. I would be interested to know how you go your mac to work with you first printer.

Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

Hey Guys!
I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
Can you help me? Please?!
Thanks Folks!

This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

Trying to install a Linksys WPS54GU2 wireless printer server with a Actiontec M1424WR router

Been trying to get the install software to "see" the router and never get past that. Have reset router and followed the cabling instructions but never get the installation software to list the server

You can try performing the setup manually. The Print Server device, if I'm not mistaken should have a web-browser configuration page you can tap into. It isn't as "simple" as a wizard should be, but it will rule out any issues relating to network discovery. Log into the ActionTec at http://192.168.1.1/ and see if you can locate the IP Address the Print Server is holding to the network. If you enter that address into your Web Browser, a configuration page should appear where you can enter in the Wireless settings manually, and continue on with following the installation steps outlined here: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=59c0e1ff7adc408094106...
Since the Print server is supposed to support TCP/IP/SMB/Apple, setting up the Printer address should be nothing more than a matter of telling the computer to look for the Printer at a specific IP address/hostname. If you want a guide on how to do all of this, I'll gladly type one up. Before you disconnect the server from the Wired network and switch it over to Wireless, ensure your PCs can at least send jobs to the attached printer. If that's all set, then it's a matter of ensuring any printing-related settings on the PCs carry over on the switch to Wireless. Any issues with printing to the server (when it is on and pingable) would be due to an over-agressive firewall installed on a PC or due to a software (probably driver-related) issue that does not pertain to the print server.
I strongly suggest setting a Static IP on the Printer server, as an FYI. Hostnames can get iffy sometimes.

Jetlan Print Server and HP Deskjet

Hi, I'm a mac newbie (XP convert..haha). I have a Cables To Go Jetlan 3200 print server and an HP Deskjet 5550 printer. I have tried a bunch of different things to try and get my macbook to print but to no avail. It prints from a Win XP desktop no problem.
I can see the printer when I use the "add printer" utility and according to my Jetlan documentation, it uses appletalk. I have successfully added the printer. When choosing the printer, my HP isn't listed in the various printer types. I have tried using HPIJS and gimp-print beta 2.0 but neither seems to work. Print jobs seem to spool and go to the printer but all I get is numerous pages printing out with various characters. Have to stop the printer manually in order to abort the process.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. So far, this is the only negative expeirience I've had with the mac. It rocks in every other way!!!
Bert

I don't have an intel mac, so I may not be able to help - hope someone else has tried this...
(This may have something to do with running Printer Setup via Rosetta, or something like that.)
I think the "Deskjet 900 Series Gimp-Print" driver should also work - is that the one you tried?
Have you tried an IP printing protocol? I would try HP Jetdirect protocol first, because that one doesn't require you to search for a queue name.
I think appletalk should work, but try an IP protocol for troubleshooting.
The symptom of printing postscript gobbledygook is definitely a driver issue, so make sure when you select model (using hpijs) that it is the model "deskjet 5550 foomatic/hpijs."
Good luck.

Wireless print server cannot connect to router

Hi - I just got the FiOS installed. When I went to set up my print server via wireless, it has failed. It has previously been connected via Ethernet and worked just fine. The print server thinks its connect to the AP/router but the FiOS router does not see it. I went into the system logs and see the following errors:

Trouble printing to a parallel printer over a router via a print server

My G5 and my Windows laptop once happily coexisted (past tense) using a Linksys Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41) which also fed a Linksys PPSK1 10/100 Ethernet Print Server connected to my trusty dusty NEC SuperScript 1800, one of the greatest monochrome laser printers ever made (1200 DPI and lightning fast!) featuring only a parallel interface. This nifty arrangement allowed me to print over the router and through the print server to the Superscript. Then one fateful day, OS X 10.4.1 installed itself on the G5 via Software Update. This most recent OS had some kind of personal problem with the Linksys router and nothing I did could not settle their petty squabble. After 45 minutes on the phone with a Linksys guy named "Raj" I gave up. I bought a NetGear Cable/DSL Router (RP614) and magically, my PC and my Mac started getting along, happily cruising the net together once again. But the Linksys print server must have gotten jealous: He refused to work with the new Netgear in town. I have now laid the foundation for my question: Does anyone know how I might get the Linksys Print Server to play nice and let documents printed over the Netgear router find their way to the NEC Superscript?
Thanks loads.

Greg,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I added another printer using LDP protocol, specified the address as 192.168.1.100, Identified the que as "LPT", then, on a hunch, clicked the "More Printers" button. The dialog box defaults to AppleTalk in the Local AppleTalk Zone and after a brief moment the "Name" of the printer appeared as SCF** (Hex) which, lo and behold, is the name of the PPSX1 as printed on the bottom of the device! At this point I selected the NEC's PostScript print driver and VOILA! Super duper 1200 DPI PostScript output, just like the old days!
Man...whew! Thanks again. Your Guru status is well-deserved.
Regards,
Bill
