HP F2210 printer, wired LAN, cannot print from iMac when printer is installed on Windows XP.

Let's try this again...
I have a home network, and have installed my newly purchased HP F2210 printer on one of the PC's running Windows XP SP3. I have fully installed & updated the drivers, and the printing functions work perfectly from the computer on which it's installed.
I am also able to print without issue from any other PC running windows on my network.
My wife has an iMac running Macintosh OS 10.4.11. When connecting directly to the network via a wired connection, I am unable to locate the F2210 as an available printer on the network.
Troubleshooting steps taken:
* I have tried disabling airport to ensure it's trying to find the printer through the wired connection rather than the wireless.
* I have attempted to install "additional drivers" on the PC the printer is connected to. THIS FAILED, as I was unable to get windows to find the correct drivers on the install disk.
* I attempted to install the printer drivers directly on the iMac. I was still unable to locate the printer after doing this.
Any suggestions for other steps to try would be appreciated.

Hi there, when you check the printer job history in your ePrintCenter account what do you see? Is there a record of the failed print jobs?

Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

I keep getting message "cannot contact reliable source" when trying to install Flash Player.

I turned off AVG anti-virus and uninstalled old Flash Player versions. I keep getting message "cannot contact reliable source" when trying to install Flash Player.

Cannot change from System Default Printer

Using Windows XP (still, I know) and Adobe Reader XI, I am unable to switch from the default printer to another printer in Adobe Reader. I am able to do this in all other applications except Reader.
I can change the default printer in Windows, open Reader and print to another printer, but the print dialog box doesn't allow me to change the default printer.
I can select another printer from the drop down box. Then, I'm unable to open the printer settings dialog. If I click print, it sends the job to the default printer instead of the one I've chosen.
The issue persists for multiple users on this pc even after creating new user profiles in Windows. I have about 10 printers installed on this machine and this happens with all of them. Different makes and models (Brother & Konica Minolta mostly) and also the default Microsoft XPS printer all do the same thing.
TD;LR: I can only print to the Windows default printer.

function printFullPEng() {
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
var pSize = this.getPageBox("Crop");
if (pSize[1] > "792") {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\HP Designjet 4000 HPGL2/RTL (Copy 1)";}
else {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\TOSHIBA 4520C PCL6 - Engineering";};
pp.NumCopies = 1;
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.none;
fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags = (fv.setPageSize);
this.print(pp);
This is tied to a menu button. As I say, it works flawlessly in Acrobat 9, but will not change printers in Acrobat X.

Before installing Mountain Lion there were no problems printing from iMac or MacBookAir.
Why would it work requesting prints thru LapTop PC on Win 7 but not from Mountain Lion? Apple please!

Riddle: Printing from iMAC to printer on networked print server

Here is a Doozy:
I am having trouble printing from my new Intel iMac over a wireless network, through an attached print server.
Here is the layout & issue:
Configuration:
I have a Windows XP PC & iMac in my office.
I have a wireless network connecting the 2.
On this network & have attached the SimpleShare 250GB network HDD, with print server
I have a Canon Pixma 800 attached via USB to the SimpleShare print server.
Issue:
The iMAC cannot print out of the printer.
The iMAC searches, finds & installs the printer (name: MP800, puts it in WORKGROUP, with queue of MP800)
It sends the job & says the job is done (looking good!).
I hear the HDD fire up (a couple clicks). But nothing prints out & the printer does not recognize a job was sent to it. (ARGHH!)
I have:
upgraded to the latest firmware on SimpleShare.
The windows PC prints fine to the printer, through this same configuration.
The iMAC prints fine to the printer when connected directly.
The iMAC reads/writes fine to the HDD itself through the network.
The internet connection works fine through this configuration.
The ONLY issue is getting a print job from the iMAC to the printer.
ANY & ALL help is appreciated, its driving me crazy...

I suspect it may be a driver issue.
It may work with the PrintFab Drivers (but these cost).

PDF: Unable to print a document as PDF from APEX when using the BI Publishe

Hi,
From an APEX application, I am unable to print a document in a PDF format when using the Oracle BI Publisher.\
Here is the configuration:
1) Server A is W2K3 and hosts the Oracle BI Publisher server, with IP address ip01.
2) Server B is a OEL5.2 and hosts the database server of the APEX application, with IP address ip02.
3) Machine C is a W7 desktop from which through an URL both the APEX applicationn and the BI server are accessed, with IP address ip03.
4) The APEX application is configured with the following to use the Oracle BI Publisher:
- Printer server: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
- Printer server protocol: HTTP
- Printer server host address: ip01
- Printer server port: 9704
- Printer server script: /xmlpserver/convert
- Network services are enabled (at least I did get any warning/error message)
From C, I access the the APEX application through its URL, if I try to download a page by selecting PDF in the download section of the interative report section for that page, I am unable to open if and get the error:
<file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Yet, still from C, I am able to open any other PDF document.
The same way, still from C, acessing the APEX application through its URL, I have a query report defined with a PDF output format. Then, when I test the report (Test Report in the Report query) for that query, I get the error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
At first sight this could be a wong entry in the priinter configuration for APEX. But with this address, through the URL I can log in to the Oracle BI Publisher server.
Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for any tips.

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

Print quality problems on Fuji Xerox printers when printing from ArchiCAD and/or Preview.

Hello,
We experience major print quality problems when printing directly from Graphisoft's ArchiCAD, Nemetscheks Vectorworks and from Apple's Preview.
Basically we see various artefacts on our printed drawings, e.g. line thicknesses change and hatched patterns / fills are reproduced with patches where the lineweights and clours change completely... which is not acceptable.
This affects the following Fuji Xerox printer models on both 10.6.x and 10.7.x with the latest FJX PPDs:
ApeosPort C5540I
Xerox LF6605 MF
The workarounds for us are to either print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Reader or via the rather dated Accxess Tools, besides that we prefer at times to print directly from a given Software it is also not always possible to generate a PDF and print it from Acrobat Reader... especially since the latest Adobe Reader update to its print dialogue makes printing from it extremely tedious - in fact we are considering going back to 9.5.2
Obviously, we have approached FJX Tech Support and are awaiting a reply - however we are disappointed that this is happening on relatively new equipment and wonder if anybody else has already found a solution.

The symptoms you mention could be related to the FJX engine and Acrobat is masking this fault. To test, you can create a Postscript file from the print dialog of ArchiCAD or VectorWorks and then download this to the Apeos RIP. If this produces the same result as when using the printer driver from the applications, then it would indicate that the engine is not capable of handling the data being sent to it from these applications.

How to print within the margins of the page when printing from iPad to HP Envy D410a?

When I try to print something from the iPad, either the 1 or the 2, the result is that the image sent from the iPad is printed Borderless, which of course results in parts of the print being cutoff, is there someway to resize the print through the printer, since the iPads don't have drivers?
Also, I seem to have a similar problem when printing from my PC, only in it's case the resulting print is smaller, it seems to print into a margin size of 1" on all sides. The only app that I have found that lets me override this is Adobe Reader which has the page scaling options.
All suggestions will be appreciated. TIA.
Stephen.

Fail to retrieve IP address: Want to print wirelessly to HP C4385 from iMAC

I've gone through so many threads that I'm losing track. Where do I start?
I have my PC downstairs with an HPC4385 printer connected via USB. I have my Intel iMAC upstairs and it is connected wirelessly via my Airport Express (also located downstairs - no issues connecting to the web). I want to print to the C4385 wirelessly from my iMAC (as it has the capability... supposedly), but I can't get past the configuration stage. I can see my network, successfully enter my network password, but then get a "Failed to retrieve IP address" on all counts.
FYI: I don't have setup button to print a report showing my printer's IP address either. I actually don't know if that matters, or not.
Has anyone successfully bypassed this issue to print wirelessly?
Please help.

Wish I could be helpful, but I'll "second," this request for information. I'm trying to do the exact same thing with the exact same printer, and I'm getting the exact same problem.

how to get to resovle these issues to obtain good print out from flash cs5 using AS
Any help is appreciated

the only way i know to obtain pixel-perfect printing is to instantiate your printjob and using its pageWidth and pageHeight properties, (re)construct the pages you want printed, print and finally ready the no-longer-needed newly constructed pages for gc.

You may need to use a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.

Images dropping from PDF when printing

I am having an issue with 1 PDF file in which there are images that are dropping from the page when ripping to a digital press (iGen3). I have tried re-pdfing the file because that has helped in the past with fonts not printing correctly because they were not embeddedd when the customer created the pdf.
Same issue happened whether printing to the press or re-pdfing the file, a gray box appears in place of the graphic.
We found a work around where we drop the file in a hot folder for the press. File is supplied from customer as pdf, we do not have the native files. sample images below:

I've tried it twice. It crashes Word after going through all the footnotes. After I restart Word, I get the message asking to disable the plug-in.
