HP ePrint Home & Biz failing to find Business Inkjet 1200 on wireless network

I am trying to set up printing from my phone over my local network to an HP printer.
I have downloaded the HP ePrint Home & Biz app onto a Samsung SII runningAndroid v4.0.4 the app cannot find the HP Business Inkjet 1200 (C8156A) on the wireless network.
1) The printer is functional and other devices can print to it
2) The phone is able to conect wirelessly to the printer via a browser connection
3) The printer is on a fixed IP number
4) The BI 1200 is listed on the supported models page for ePrint Home & Biz app
5) I have registered the app with ePrint but should be able to connect via the local wireless network
I tried to use the Connect Manually option but it is tring to get me to supply an ePrint e-mail address. Do I really have to register the printer on ePrint to get this app to work?
As someone else said why not have an app that just formats the print job and sends it to the local printer?

The app can actually do what you want and print over the local network.
It sounds like what you are doing is going to settings, and then manage eprinters, and trying to add the device there. This section is only for eprint capable devices, and allows you to print to them even when you are not at the same location.
Go back to the home screen of the app.
Select a photo or document from within the app.
Simply push on the area near the bottom of the screen that may show a printer, or if its never printed it may just have a down arrow.
From here you should be able to click on printer and choose your printer.
The above method will simply search the local network for supported devices, and does not require any registration of the app.

Hi Chuck,
HP ePrint Home & Biz only provide print capabilities over wired or wireless (802.11) network connection, Bluetooth connection is not supported as well the specific model is not supported by the app.
Can I print from the HP ePrint mobile app using USB or Bluetooth?
No. You can only print directly to supported HP printers on a local wireless network.

HP ePrint Home&Biz app not working. Print job failure:busy message appears on tablet

I have an HP Laserjet P1102W and am trying to print from a Viewsonic tablet (android OS) using the HP ePrint Home&Biz app. I can send an email to the printer via the tablet and it prints the document with no problems.
I apologize in advance for the long message...
If I try and hit the PRINT key on the lower bar (which says 'HP Laserjet Professional P1102W (NPI7...host name), all that happens is blue & green LED's come on, green, blue flashes, green, blue flashes, green, blue flashes, then green and blue stay on steady. Just before the blue and green come on steady at the end, the "print job failure:busy" message flashes on my tablet.
I assume the sequence of LED flashes is the HP printer receiving a print command 3 times and can not perform the task because the printer thinks it is busy.
After searching for this problem on the net, it would appear I am not the only person with this issue. And yes, I have tried powering down my modem, printer, PC, and tablet and restarting all the above. Not that the PC has anything to do with it, but I am desperate.
Does anyone have a viable working solution to this problem???

Hello,
Thanks for the post. With this one, there is a firmware update available for the printer, and I've included a link below that with some excellent steps to check regarding this issue. Good Luck!

HP ePrint cant find HP officejet Pro 8500 A909G but HP ePrint Home & Biz can why

HP officejet Pro 8500 is in the list of supported printers
Any Idea

Thank you for clarifying.
Dlink routers provide Multicasting support disabled by my erxperience.
Try the following steps and then check for any change:
Enter the router EWS page by typing its IP address.
From the top menu click Advanced.
From the left menu click Advanced Network.
Make sure the Multicast Streams checkbox is selected.
Click Save Settings to apply and reboot the router.
Make sure the devices have reconnected and check for any change,
If there still having issues, I would recommend you to update the latest firmware for your router:

HP ePrint Home&Biz for HP 2600n

Your page for the above Android app says, "Compatible with all smartphones and tablets that run Android 2.1 or later. Works with HP ePrint-enabled printers, legacy networkable printers and all-in-ones."
I'm trying to print on my HP Color LaserJet 2600n using the Android "HP ePrint Home&Biz" app on my Android smartphone / tablets (I have four!).
Each smartphone / tablet can immediately see the printer (which is connected via wired Ethernet to my home WiFi router) on my local LAN, by both printer name and DNS name. When I attempt to print, the yellow "progress bar" advances across the screen, and I see network traffic between the smartphone or tablet and the printer, but then I get "Print job failure" on the tablet, and continuous network traffic (does not stop) on the WiFi router between the two devices, until I kill the Android "HP ePrint Home&Biz" app. Further, the status panel and lights on the printer remain as if idle.
Note: Android app "PhotoBot" prints, but only in B&W (!?!?!?), and I think the HP app is better in other respects as well (as soon as I can get it to print!!)
Any ideas?

HP ePrint Home & Biz and HP3050 J610a and iPhone4

I realise that the HP3050 does not support eprint, I have however been able to connect my phone to the printer using HP ePrint Home & Biz app and scan a document, when I turn the printer off then back on HP ePrint Home & Biz cannot see the printer. I have tried the usual steps, power off printer and phone, power on phone then printer. Unplug printer from wall etc, turn off bluetooth. It seems to be random as well because sometimes it works other times it doesn't, lately I cannot get it to work. Any ideas

Hi RagDaz,
I wanted to first check on something you said here, the ePrint Home and Biz will only scan from ePrint capable printers.
Do you have the J610 or the J611 printer? The 3050 J610 does not support ePrint and the 3050A J611 does support ePrint and thus scanning from the ePrint Home and Biz app.
On to the question.
The behavior you are describing has a couple possible causes:
1. Poor signal strength - When the signal is strong enough, it works. When the signal weakens, it does not work.
If you suspect you might be having signal strength problems, try moving the printer and router into the same room and placing them about 6 feet apart.
2. Router problem - Some routers need to be restarted from time to time. Try powering off the printer, router and iPhone. Turn the router, iPhone and printer back on in that order. Wait for about 1 minute between, making sure the router had enough time to finish booting up before turning the iPhone back on.
3. When it does not work, make sure the iPhone is attached to the right network.

HP Laserjet Pro M1217nfw, support for ePrint Home&Biz on Android devices

Got my new LaserJet Pro M1217nfw installed on my home (secure)wireless network and am printing wirelessly from 3 windows laptops.
Started trying to get my smartphones to connect and print to it. Droid X Verizon, running gingerbread latest Verizon update. Download ePrint and ePrint Home & Biz to it. Upgraded my printer to latest firmware and SmartInstall, got an EPrint email address assigned to it. Am able to ePrint from phone just fine, but Home & Biz does not print, it detects printer and says has printed the file, doc, or pic but nothing comes out on the printer. I see from your lists of supportted printers that it is not
supported on th 1217nfw. Is it planned to work on it in the future? Can you give my some hints or workarounds if it is possible to get Home and Biz to work?
I tried the Wireless Direct feature on the printer, but really don't understand its purpose, since the printer and my phone are both
connected to my local wireless network, why does the wireless direct use a different SSID and assigned a fixed IP address?
anyway disabled that feature.
Thanks for any help!
This question was solved.

At this time ePrint Home&biz app is not supported on the HP Laserjet Pro M1217nfw. Other than ePrint using the printer emial address there isn't another solution with an Android device.

How to print to networked HP Business Inkjet 1200?

Hi, I've just gotten a (second-hand, so older) laptop that is now running 10.5.5. I can't figure out how to connect it to the networked HP Business Inkjet 1200 that we've got in the office.
According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1893
The driver for the printer should be included in the system I have. However, in the list it is not checked as a "modern driver" which the article says means it "cannot be selected when adding an IP printer". I've always connected to this machine using IP printing from my 10.4 machines... If I just leave it in the "default" mode, the printer does not appear. The only other way I know how to select it is IP printing (it then correctly identifies it, but as promised, the driver does not appear in the list).
Any suggestions?

HP non-postscript printers with drivers capable of network printing are selected by clicking More Printers and then "HP IP." If you find that that doesn't work, then the driver isn't capable of network printing.
There is an open source driver available, hpijs:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
It can be used for all the network protocols the printer supports (for most HPs, the preferred is HP Jetdirect protocol.)

Business Inkjet 1200 Series

My aunt's printer only prints in black. There is no checkmark making this happen where it states print in gray scale. All the other cartridges are brand new, cyan, magenta and yellow. She has the latest drivers on a new Dell Inspiron 580 and the diagnostic test I ran showed everything working properly. How can I solve this issue?

Have install software on hand software from HP ‘ bi1200en.exe’
Open control panel
Select add remove Programs
Click on HP Business Inkjet 1200, click Change/Remove
After software is removed make sure printer is powered on and connected to PC
If new hardware wizard appears cancel it
Install software ‘bi1200en.exe’
Printer should be installed to PC and work

Remote can't find iTunes on mix wired/wireless network

I am trying to control music from a iMac running iTunes using the iPhone Remote app. I've previously done this successfully with a wireless only network (using the Airport Express wifi to join my existing wifi network etc).
However, since introducing D-Link Homeplugs into my network, I am unable to 'see' the iTunes library from the Remote app when I connect wirelessly to the airport express.
My hardware is configured as follows:-
*Netgear Router (wireless disabled) -> Homeplug power network -> iMac running iTunes*
And elsewhere on the Homeplug network, I have:
H*omeplug power network -> Airport Express [set up as wireless access point]*.
If I connect the Express to the iTunes machine directly - leaving the wireless access details the same - it all works fine. If I move the Airport Express and reconnect over the Homeplug network, the Remote fails to 'see' the library, although I can still send music over the network (using the iTunes interface on the iMac) to the remote speakers.
My network uses the router as a DHCP (range 192.168.0.x mask 255.255.255.0), Airport Express is connected to Homeplug ethernet with a static IP (in the same range) and provides wireless access (unsecured for now while i get this working). The iMac has a static IP (in the same range). If I swap the iMac for a PC (XP - using DHCP from the router for IP), I get the same result. If I use an iPhone network application to view the network (connected by the wifi access point on the AX) then I can see all the machines on my network as I would expect.
To reiterate, if I cable this network directly (either AX->iMac or AX->hub->iMac) then it works. As soon as I go AX->Homeplug power network->iMac then the Remote app loses sight of the library.
I wouldn't expect any firewall on the wired->wireless networks on my router (a Sky branded Netgear 934g). I also didn't think that the Homeplugs would block.
So does anyone have any ideas why the Remote application loses sight of my iTunes library when connecting via Airport Express cabled into a Homeplug ethernet network ?
Thanks for any help because I miss my music
cheers,
Tim

A recent problem on 1100dtn business inkjet printer attached to network

I have an HP 1100dtn business inkjet printer Ihat is attachded to my network. I had problems with the yellow inkjet got plugged and started messing the printed colors. I played with some settings and ended up getting wat appears to be a separator page before and after most everything I print. I went back to the spot I ran and ran it again hopping to have it toggle off. I checked on settings that say separater & they appear to say no to separtor page. Nothing seems to work. I have even disconnected it from everything and rebooted it
Is there a setting I can get to that allows me to stop this wasted paper short of replacing the whole printer with a Lazerjet?
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions.

HP c309a and HP eprint Home&Biz

Hi all,
Got a weird problem I wondered if anybody could help with. Using HP eprinthome&Biz to print from my iphone and ipad to my C309a which is connected via Ethernet cable to my wireless router. All works fine providing I connect to the SSID of the wirless router directly however in order to get wirless coverage throughtout the house I use a WLAN extender from Devolo which broadcasts a different SSID in the more remote parts of the house.
When I connect to the Devlo SSID then eprinthome&biz cannot find the C309a any ideas or help gratefully received.

Hello,
Since you have no problems connected directly to the base router, it is likely that your extender has its DHCP settings enabled.
If you access your extender's settings and disable DHCP, this could solve your issue.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Officejet J6480 prints but can't find scan device on mixed wireless network

My Officejet J6480 all-in-one used to work on my network connected to my 32 bit Vista HP laptop along with my 64 bit Win 7 HP laptop. It degraded last fall. It still prints from both laptops and scans from the Vista laptop. When I restart the Win 7, I get an error message "scanning device was not found..." The detailed error information = [(1,0,-2147221496)].
I downloaded the latest full install for the Win 7 version and uninstalled then installed the J6480... still got the error after restart. I downloaded the Print/Scan Doctor but it gave a driver error: "This tool was unable to resolve the problem, even after a restart. Go to HP Customer Care for help resolving this problem. I found a driver to download to patch when upgrading a previoius install from Vista to Win 7 or Win 8. I ran it and restarted.. still have the same problem recognizing the scanner.
The scanner & print still works on the Vista laptop. HELP!

Hello DrSweet,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan a document, you're receiving a message "Scanning device was not found". I will do my best to assist you. Please follow this HP document on 'The Scanning Device Could Not Be Found' Displays When Scanning with a USB-Connected All-in-One.
Even though this document is indicating a different operating system, the steps will be the same. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a great night!
