Hp f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule

HP f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule
anyone have this problem before?

I have just purchased the latest Time Capsule and have exactly the same problem with my HP F2280 when printing from my iMac. Very odd. So started surfing the web and it appears we are not alone and there is no easy fix. Anyway it appears the scanner will not work via the TC either, never crossed my mind when I purchased it that I would have such problems. Two thumbs down for TC

  • HP 6500 printer not working anymore via Time Capsule

    I used a Linksys access point, and all my printers and Airport Express were working fine.
    But since I swapped my Linksys WRT160N v2 access point with the Apple Time Capsule, my HP 6500 printer cannot be installed anymore on my iMac.
    I have a very flat network :
    Telenet router connected to internet, other side : wired Time Capsule (and then wireless to my iMac, iPhones, iPad and Airport Express), wired ethernet switch with wired Brother Laser printer and wired HP 6500 printer.  All having fixed IP addresses (except of course the iPhones and iPad). 
    When adding the HP printer the iMac system finds the printer as "Officejet 6500 E710n-z (59F608)", but gives an error "Unable to communicate with the printer".
    And to make it totally weird : I'm perfectly able to address the printer from the iMac via ip address in Safari !!
    No double IP addresses are used in the network : swapped the network already several times with different tools.
    Regaring the Airport Express, I cannot set it up again, the light flashes and is not recognised anymore.
    My biggest concern is the HP printer ... weird ...
    Please advise !
    tx a million

    Did you completely remove all earlier instances of the printer and even its drivers. If not do so.. after reboot of the iMac download direct from HP any new drivers they may have and reinstall. We have seen it on other occasions.. it is very stubborn if it has any previous setup or drivers.
    When you swap the two routers.. are you keeping the old IP addressing scheme.. ie moving TC from its default 10.0.1.1 to the Linksys standard 192.168.1.1 .. as occasionally again.. devices can sometimes be finiky off their default.

  • Printing on HP P1005 via Time Capsule on WinXP   Errors

    Hi
    I have installed an HP P1005 laserjet on my MBP and my PC (WinXP)
    when I am trying to print locally on each of them (e.g via direct USB plugging)
    it works fine.
    When I am trying to print via the Time Capsule It works fine for the MBP but doesn't work with the PC. I did the installation on my XP using the Install Printer utility of Bonjour and the printer is being shown the Printer/Fax Control panel but I print anything I am getting an error...
    Just wondering if anyone could help out me or suggest me some advice
    maybe I am missing a step.
    Thanks a lot
    Vadim

    Lisa,
    I should add, I believe that other icon you're describing is there because your have manually mounted the HD on the TC. Possibly via the "Connect As.." feature in the Finder window. It seems the system treats mounting the TC disk this way differently than the approach Time Machine uses to mount the disk - Thus the 2 colored icons for the TC. This condition appears to create 2 mount points for the TC drive which Time Machine can choke on when the next backup attempt is made.
    Others have run into connection problems when Time Machine attempts to mount the drive for a routine backup but the drive is already mounted manually by the user.
    They get either of the error messages,
    "The backup disk image could not be mounted".
    "The Backup Volume Could Not Be Mounted"
    and the Console log will report,
    +Network mountpoint /Volumes/Time Capsule not owned by backupd+
    So it's a good idea to unmount the TC drive completely so that the next backup will succeed.
    Cheers!

  • Using Printer via Time Capsule for Windows

    Hi,
    Could you please guide me how can I use printer connect to my time capsule from windows based PC. I can do it from my mac but unable to print it from Windows PC.
    I have also downloaded Bonjour, it detects my HP printer 1018 but when it comes to driver it is not able to locate also tried so many different option for the driver but unfortuntely no luck so somebody please guide me to print (HP Laserjet 1018 printer) from windows connected via Time Capsule 2TB.

    When you setup the printer choose a local printer.. then change the port to TCP/IP and type in the IP of the TC.
    Complete the setup.. and choose the 1018 HP printer drivers.
    That should be all there is to it.
    Download the airport utility for windows and see if the printer is there.
    Ensure you have the TC setup in WORKGROUP for file sharing.
    Make sure the computer is in home.. not work or public.
    Make sure you do not have homegroup activated.
    If that doesn't work turn off the firewall and try again.

  • How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in the original?

    How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in its original. I don't need the print out to be in color, and I don't want to waste the color ink.

    It depends on your printer and the application you are using.
    In some applications you can choose color vs. greyscale/black&white when you do File > Print.   PowerPoint is one example of an application that allows this choice.
    Otherwise, you can usually select greyscale at the time you print the document.  Do File > Print. In the resulting dialog box, there should be an item called Copies & Pages (in Word and other applications) or Preview (in Preview).  Click it.  In the resulting list, you should then see an option called Printer Features.  Click it.  Then you should see an option called Printout Mode.  Usually one of the modes is Greyscale or Black & White.  Select it.  Then Print.
    This can also depend on your printer.  Exactly what make/model printer are you using?   And what kind of document are you trying to print (Word, PPT, JPEG, etc)?

  • My  Macbook Pro will not print color to my HP B209 Printer, only black and white...

  • Printing a black & white photo

    Hi all,
    I'm not sure whether this is the right category but here goes.
    I have scanned an old photo using my HP Photosmart C4580, into Photoshop and changed the now, sepia colours to black & white which is fine.
    The problem arises when I then try to print it on the same printer, as it doesn't come out black and white, it is printing with a distinct blue tinge so obviously it is not using the black cartridge but is trying to cobble something using the colour cartridge.
    Is there a means of forcing it to print in black & white, i.e. ONLY use the black cartridge.
    Before you ask, I am on WIndows XP SP3 (which I don't think should make any difference) and I haven't tried removing the colour cartridge as I have a feeling that it might complain that it is missing a cartridge and then possibly get stuffed up when I put the colour cartridge back in.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Regards

    OK, there are a few issues here.  First, the cartridges are regionalized and there are four different regions and cartridges and printers are not compatible across the different regions.  If you bought the printer in the UK and moved to New Zealand then 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.
    As for the color vs.. black vs.. photo cartridges, your printer can use several different combinations.  The cartridges are as follows:
    Black:  Contains pigmented black ink.  This is excellent for plain paper text but is not compatible with glossy photo papers.  The drop size is ~3x larger than the color or photo drops since this cartridge is optimized for text.  When photo paper is selected this cartridge will not be used.
    Color:  Contains cyan, magenta and yellow dye based ink. The dye based ink is compatible with plain paper or photo paper.
    Photo:  Contains light cyan, light magenta and black dye based inks.  Used in conjunction with a Color cartridge the combination can give more detailed B&W prints and less "grainy" light areas such as color sky and face tones.
    For your case a working color cartridge would likely print fine B&W photo's, but if you did a side by side comparison with a print made with the color and photo cartridges installed you may see an improvement.

  • 5530e - unable to print in black & white

    There seems to be no option to print in black & white. I don't need color all the time.

    Hi Anniebella,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer and the need to print only in black. Here is a link to change print settings for black ink only. You will notice the section change the default print settings for all print jobs. If you follow this document it will show you how on Windows 7 or Windows 8.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Printer regonizes Black/white page as color page

    When we print a Word document to a PDF file with the Acrobat printer, pages that contain only Black/White information but with an image that looks as if it is Black/White, the printer recognizes the page as a color page. When we print this page with Word directly to the printer, the page is recognized as a Black/White page.
    Are there color setting available which control the setting for gray scale images to be printed Black/White?

    Leo,
    choose for default settings a joboption set which
    contains for output
    Settingsfile: None
    Color Management: Leave Color Unchanged (!)
    Results:
    Source sRGB (color): PDF color 3x8 bits
    OK
    Source Grayscale: PDF gray 1x8 bits (Indexed)
    OK
    Source sRGB (gray) with R=G=B: PDF gray 1x8bits (Indexed)
    Very wrong.
    This is a well known bug in the Acrobat software:

  • How do I get the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to print only black or grayscale? What is the procedure?

    How do I set my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to print only black or grayscale?  What is the procedure?

    Hi, Looks like you have to do this from the aplications. Here is the procedure from its manual, page #36: 1. Load paper in the tray. For more information, see Load media.
    2. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
    3. Make sure the printer you want to use is selected.
    4. To change settings, click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
    5. Change the paper orientation on the Layout tab, and paper source, media type, paper size, and quality settings on the Paper/Quality tab. To print in black and
    white, click the Advanced button, and then change the Print in Grayscale option.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Click Print or OK to begin printing Regards.

  • TS1253 Print via Time Capsule without being connected to my router

    My router and my printer are in two different places.
    It all prints well when the TC (Time Capsule) is connected via Ethernet cable to my router and printer connected via USB to TC
    Can I use Time Capsule to print even if it is not connected to the router via Ethernet cable?
    My TC is connected via USB to the printer but TC is not connected to the router because the TC and the router are not in the same place. Why can't I print via wi-fi?
    Thanks,
    l.cello

    If I want a fast backup I use the Ethernet cable.
    The Ethernet ports are not enabled when you configure the Time Capsule to "join" the network using wireless only.  You can only backup using wireless, whether you have Ethernet connected or not. Apparently, the "support" folks did not tell you about this.
    I just do not see why this setup would take longer.
    You are kidding, correct?
    Gigabit Ethernet is 1,000 Mbps.
    With a fantastic wireless connection, you might get 200-250 Mbps.  Most users see about 100-130 Mbps.
    As for why your Time Capsule setup will take twice as long as normal wireless .....
    Backups have to make a wireless "double hop".  Hop one is from your Mac to the wireless router. Hop two is from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule.  Two hops = double the time.
    Since you can only use wireless, your actual backup speed will be in the range of 100-125 Mbps, maximum.  When you try your first backup on a Mac, it will likely take days, not a few hours as it should.
    Since you have another hard drive attached to the Time Capsule, any copies of transfers to this drive will be exceedingly slow as well.
    Unfortunately, the support folks did you no favors by providing the steps to this type of installation.
    At least, they could have told you about the downsides.....which can all be avoided by connecting your Time Capsule to your modem/router using an Ethernet cable as the Setup Guide recommends.
    thought that another reason to have and use a TC is to be able to use USB peripherals connected to the TC in wi-fi, like printers. This was the center of my question to start with.
    Easy to do if the Time Capsule is connected to your modem/router using an Ethernet cable.
    If you will, let us know how long that first backup of your Mac takes using your setup.
