HP G85 All in one - Making the printer Wireless preferably with Airprint

I am running XP on an HP towerand connecting the Printer using a USB - USB cable. I would like to make this excellent printer wireless to print from my HP laptop.
But also to use it to print from my iPad2 without the hassel of emailing an iPad document to myself to collect it on the Tower and then print. I believe It would be necessary to make the connection Airprint compatible
I wondered if anyone had solved this problem.

I fully agree with this complaint. Curiously, I have faced similar problems like him. Frequently, I have seen the messages like "paper jam ", "Cartridge missing" while there wasn't any paper jam and genuine brand new cartridges were already installed. My experience is worse than his. I could hardly use it for more than one week! What is worse the wireless operation could never be achieved. Now this printer is lying discarded.
It really beats all logic that why should one not be able to scan a document (say -- to save the image on the hard disk for possible future use) even if there was so called paper jam or missing cartridge?
Also, it is virtually impossible to delete any job once you have clicked the button print. The printer would keep on retaining the job, making the printing of other jobs impossible, unless perhaps you uninstall it and then re-install! Why can't HP find a solution to this problem?
I join his sentiments that I would refrain from buying any HP product in future.

I got my first Mac 2 weeks ago, a Macbook Pro. I can't get it to scan on my HP Laserjet1217 nfwMFP all in one. It prints (wirelessly) just fine. But when I try to scan, it says something like "no scanners available". Wireless or connected, it's the same.

I have not been able to get my new Macbook Pro to scan, either wirelessly or connected, with my HP Laserjet all in one M1217 nfwMFP printer. It prints wirelessly just fine, but if I try to scan, I get the message that no scanners are found. The guy in the Apple store had it scanning just fine with a new HP printer he took out of the box. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

HP C4385 All In One is the worst printer I've ever bought

I will never buy another HP printer or other HP product for the rest of my life. I purchased a HP C4385 Photosmart All In One printer and it has been absolutely terrible from day one. First when installing it screwed up my LAN so bad that I had to spend hours on a live chat with Lynkys to get my network up and running. HP software would automatically delete my current network to establish its own for the wireless printer connection. After many attempts I gave up on trying to connect the printer wirelessly, which was one of the main reasons I bought this model.
Somehow the printer's software and drivers mysteriously delete themselves because I've had to reinstall the software and drivers around 15-20 times. When I go to use the printer, it will show it as a new device and that I need to install the software and drivers. This isn't a problem with my computer. It doesn't happen with any other device I use- other printers, camera, flash drives, etc. I have downloaded any updates but they do not help.
The monitoring software is constantly running with 3 or 4 HP process running at all times using up my RAM. The alignment is constantly off and when I go to align it gives me another nonsense error message because it doesn't acknowledge the alignment paper.
To top it off, after using about half the ink in a cartridge it won't print anymore because it says the print cartridge is missing or empty when I know its not. I have tried every troubleshooting tip offered and none of them work.
I am sure this will end up in another {Content Removed: no legal discussion permitted} due to faulty equipment knowingly being sold. I don't want my money back, I want the 50 hours I have wasted dealing with all of the {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} this printer has caused me.
Thanks a lot HP for selling me a piece of junk device. I used to respect you and the products you sold. Not anymore I will purchase another HP product because of the frustration this one has caused me.

The HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 series printer I just bought is not compatible with my Mac Book Pro. What do I need to do?

I recently purchased an HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 series printer and it is not compatible with the version of the operating system on my mac book pro. I am currently running on OS X 10.4.11 and the printer is compatible with v10.5 or higher. What can I do to update the operating system on my Mac Book Pro?

10.5 will be harder to find & more expensive, I think I'd go for 10.6
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Apple no longer has it for sale.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It looks like they might still have it...

My HP psc 1210 all-in-one, suddenly stopped printing any text. it will print the graphics.

I believe I have tried everything. The HP psc 1210 series all-in-one refusses to print text. nor will it scan or copy. I have done all the troubeshooting that I can find. Still will not print from PC or copy. I think it will scan to the computer. Icon with gray circle around it, states it is offline, yet from the control panel, printer and faxes, shows it as being online and ready. What else can I do to remedy this problem? Thank you in advance.

There may be 2 separate issues here.
-For the offline portion, check this document out:
Printer is offline
-For just printing graphics, this would make me think that the Black cartridge is empty/low on ink/malfunctioning. Try printing a black and white picture. That would let you know if it is the cartridge or not.

How do I direct my HP Photosmart e-ALL-IN-ONE D110 series printer to my Android Tablet?

How do I add my HP Photosmart e-ALL-IN-ONE D110 series printer to my Android Tablet?

Hi,
Given your ptinter supports print from Android, you need an app called HP ePrint. Please use Google Store to install it:

I have a HP 3055 all in one attached to a wireless print server. I got in working on one laptop Win7

I have a HPa 3055 all in one attached to a wireless print server that works with one Dell laptop that I upgraded from XP. But I can't get a New Toshiba Win7 to work wireless, but only with cable.

Do you have a wireless router? How is the print server configured with that?
On the Win7 machine, download and run this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...

My HP Officejet 6500 E709a All-in-One will not print more than one copy at a time. This is especially disconcerting at Christmas time when you're trying to get Christmas letters in the mail! Any help?

The cyan portion of the printhead may be clogged. I would suggest running the diagnostics shown here. If three levels of cleaning of the printheads does not resolve the issue you may need a new printhead.

Solution centre not working for windows 7 and wireless all in one, altho can print ok

I have installed an officejet 6500 wireless all in one on my HP Elitebook running Windows 7 64 bit.
Although the printer installed - albeit with an error for Microsoft.net4 that was resolved after a re reboot - HP Solution Centre v14 wont start. Indicated device installation wasnt complete, plugged in USB and tried to uninstall/re-install all same thing.
Ran Network, scan and print utilities and have MacAfee and firewalls all dis-abled during install. After the error pop up it just closes.
The printer works fine and I can scan through the webscan option but what's happened to solution centre?

Great information.

Upgrade Deskjet 3050 all in one J610 to print Apple AirPrint?

Anyone knows if you can upgrade Deskjet 3050 all-in-one j610 to print AirPrint from my Ipad?
Or in a way to work around printing to this J-model from my Ipad?

The Deskjet 3050 does not support AirPrint. AirPrint requires firmware in the printer that understands the AirPrint format.
You can use the HP ePrint application,

Using HP 6500 all in one and cannot print on Versacheck forms

Hmm, that is troubling. What operating system are you running on your laptop?

C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam.

C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam. About a month ago there was a paper jam, but was removed. It worked fine since then until yesterday. I've tried all the HP trouble-shooting suggestions- unplug, take apart, manually move carriage, etc. and nothing has solved the problem. The paper does not advance...all that happens if I try to print is a lot of noise like carriage going back and forth and after a/b 1-2 minutes it will show the "red X" blinking on the printer and a message on the computer screen, "Clear paper jam." When the problem first started yesterday the message was that the printer was "Out of paper." I need to print a resume and this is just the wrong time for someone such as myself with little computer knowledge to try to figure it out. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there pattimessick,
You may not need to remove/re-add. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own (especially connectivity problems) and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!
