HP Laserjet 1010 & Wireless printing via Airport USB - Not working in SL

Hi There,
After just upgrading to Snow Leopard on my MacBook I tried printing wirelessly to my HP Printer, but no luck!
Printer: HP Laserjet 1010
Connected via: Airport with USB cable
Snow Leopard recognises the printer and is fine to print when the printer is connected directly to the MacBook via USB cable, but:
When I set up wireless printing, it finds the printer (via Bonjour) but simply will not print. The print monitor gets to 24% or so of the file processed and then just stops & fails.
Everything was fine under 10.5 Leopard. It seems it should work, but no printing occurs! Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Paul

I had a similar-sounding problem with my HP1012.
The fix:
a. power-cycled the Airport Extreme.
b. Updated firmware.
c. Select Print in an application.
For an extended discussion of what I did see here - some of this may help:

Actually, at this point I have two printers connected: Airport Extreme ->USB powered hub ->2 printers. One is the HP1012, the other is an HP 4300 series inkjet. Took sometime to get it right, the first hub I tried apparently was not powered enough. In that vein, one earlier thread (a response to one of my posts) pointed out the possibility that the AE -> printer USB connection might not be adequately powered, and to try using an intermediate hub. Assuming your AE is performing properly in all other respects, don't rule out a cable or other printer connection issue even if the setup was working properly before.

Wireless printing with Airport Express not working

I set up my Airport Express. I have an HP photojet printer and I can print from my Mac Air but the other 3 windows-based laptops that are connecting to Airport Express can't. Anyone know why that is or how to fix it?

You did install and run Bonjour for Windows on each PC, correct?
Does Bonjour "see" the printer...and it won't install....or.....does Bonjour not "see" the printer at all?
Just in case.....

Wireless printing via airport express

Ive encountered a problem when it comes to printing over my home wireless network. The network consists of a single airport express base station connected via ethernet to my modem and broadcasting a wireless signal for both a macbook and a acer laptop to access the internet, which works just fine.
I also have a HP deskjet multifunction printer connected to the base station via the usb port, witch also shows up in the airport utility as being connected to the router. I'm aware that the scan function will only work when its directly connected to the computer, but as for printing, Ive set up the printer using bonjour for windows on the acer laptop, and that machine is able to print via the base station with no troubles at all.
Here is the problem. I'm able to add the printer to the list of printers on the macbook using the correct driver, and it says under location that its connected to the airport express, but when I go to print (a test page, etc) the document wont print. i get the following message - "Unable to read response header - short read" and it just hangs in line until I cancel the job. Ive tried the options on the apple troubleshooting guide, removing and adding the printer, restarting the base station and the multifunction, etc, but still no result. any ideas?

you might find pointers in the _*Printer Troubleshooting Guide*_.

Wireless printing from main Mac not working

I've read through a few threads about wireless printing issues via the TC but I have a twist. My second Mac (Macbook 10.4.11) is able to print wirelessly through TC without a problem. I've selected the appropriate printer via System Preferences>>printers and selected "Share this printer".
My main Mac (MacBook Pro 10.5.3) which is being backed up on the TC, is not able to print wirelessly. I've also correctly selected the printer and clicked on "share this printer". The printer is an HP2410xi connected to the TC via USB.
The print jobs appear in the print queue and the printer status is "ready". When I select the stalled print job and select Resume I get the message "Opening printer connection" but nothing happens.
Thoughts?

If the printer worked on 10.5 when it was plugged directly into the macbook shouldn't the same driver also work when the printer is plugged into the time machine. I've unclicked printer sharing on both macs and it still doesn't work. I see that HP does not have an updated driver for 10.5 so I guess that I'll just plug the printer back into the macbook's USB. Grrrr.

Airport Extreme Wireless Printing with Snow Leopard Not Working

I have two base stations in my home office: an Airport Express that's connected to the cable modem, and an older Airport Extreme (A1034) that's connected to my printer on the other side of the room. They were networked together so that I could go online or print wirelessly without a problem, until I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now I can go online, and I can print directly from a USB cable to my HP printer, but I can't print wirelessly. The Extreme doesn't seem to show up at all in Airport Utility. Is there a way to get this to work again? Thanks.

Yes, I do have the latest drivers. I can print directly to the printer through USB. I don't seem to be able to access the Airport Extreme base station though.

Wireless printing - from shipping sites - not working after update to iOS7

I am no longer able to print shipping labels from PayPal or USPS after updating to iOS7. I am able to print emails, etc. from other sites online - just not shipping labels. Is anyone else having the same problem? Is there a fix?

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then restart the device.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Then try printing.

Leopard incapable of printing via airport?

What the heck did apple do to screw up wireless printing?
I could print on Panther os to my printer when it was hooked up to airport. It meant hooking it up to airport and adding the printer a second time (then labelling it as wireless so I know which is which). How do you do that in leopard?
Leopard says the printer is there but lies when it comes time to print and says it can't connect unless i plug into usb port. why can't it print when the printer is hooked to airport?
How do you get this wireless printing to work on Leopard?
The normal printer utility doesn't exist and I have no idea on how to tell leopard to print via airport to the printer (leopard is too stupid to figure it out) and apple won't let me ask anymore.
HELP HELP HELP! HOW DO I GET THIS STUPID LEOPARD OS TO PRINT TO IT?

OK. Here's the answer to my own question. And here is what apple did to confuse the issue.
First, you have to go to the airport utility to fix leopard so it finds the usb printer plugged into the airport usb port because it has to configure the wan port as a printer.
In utilities, click on airport utility.
(this is when airport utility suddenly realized it had to update itself). Why the update was never found using software update I'll never know....
Complete the update. Exit airport utility and relaunch so that it detects the previous airport setup.
IT SHOULD LIST WHAT IT FOUND. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW IS A CLICK BUTTON LABELLED MANUAL SETUP. CLICK ON MANUAL SETUP. Why apple thought to hide the printer setup in airport manual setup is anyone's guess....
IN THE MENU THERE IS A PRINTER ICON AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. CLICK THAT AND THE REST IS EASY. IT SHOULD FIND THE PRINTER SO ADD IT AND RENAME IT BY ADDING BONJOUR OR SOMETHING TO THE NAME SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE SELECTING THE PRINTER WHEN IT IS PLUGGED INTO THE AIRPORT BASE STATION. Set sharing if you want to share the printer in system preferences sharing icon. RENAME THE NEW PRINTER OTHERWISE, YOU'LL HAVE TWO PRINTERS, ONE THE COMPUTER LOOKS FOR ON THE USB PORT AND ONE IT LOOKS FOR THE ON AIRPORT BASE STATION.
SET THE DEFAULT PRINTER TO THIS NEW PRINTER SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY IT WILL PRINT VIA AIRPORT TO THE PRINTER.
Panther was so much easier and logical in setting up the printer to run off airport.

Printing via airport extreme then via ethernet to Hp Deskjet 6840

Hi,
Thanks for any help in advance.
I have a powerbook and can't print to my ethernet printer. If I plug in the ethernet cable to the powerbook it prints fine.
Is it possible to print to a networked printer via airport.
I cannot connect the HP to the USB on the side of the airport as that would cut off the other hard wired macs on the network.
Any ideas?
Cheers
G3 powerbook pismo 400 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I've been using my 6980 wirelessly through my Airport Extreme router. It works very well even when multiple users are accessing. I don't have any of my machines hardwired though. It shouldn't matter, if your laptop can talk to the hardwired machines the printer should too.
Grab the 6840 setup guide and your software CD and follow the instructions for setting up wireless. Since the 6840 predates Tiger you may need updated drivers, but if you can print to it now you're probably OK.
If you have WEP activated, your network hidden, or both, the setup process is a little complicated. Let me know if that's the case and I can help you through it. I have a closed network with 128 bit WEP and got everything connected with few problems (took a little finagling).
If you don't have your setup guide handy you can go here for information:

How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.
http://stevejenkins.com/blog/2010/01/using-the-local-default-gateway-with-a-wind ows-vpn-connection/
Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

HP C5180 not printing via Airport

Hello - I've been trying to get our HP C5180 printer to print via Airport. After calling the HP helpdesk their view was that if the printer printed via USB then the fault/problem was with the Airport and that they could not assist any further. Hopefully someone maybe able to offers some assistance.
I've made sure that selecting configuration for our Airport, then the Base Station Option tab, then the USB printer section, that the Airport is seeing the printer - it appears correctly.
Printing to the printer it spools a document through then evantually returns an error message of "Opening printer connection failed. Unable to open the printer connection. Please check your printer connections and check for printer errors".
Can anyone help please!? Thanks in advance.

Could be, that if a newer driver for the printer you have exists,
and is available, it may not have been in the software for it; so
maybe some other printer driver may need to be found to work.
There are some compatible drivers available for free through a
web site; the name is GutenPrint (or formerly Gimp Print) and
there may be a newer driver. Not sure if those work with 10.3.
If the OS you have were not so old, another answer may be
in a new driver direct from the printer manufacturer's homepage.
Guten Print - Gimp Print:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Supported printers for use with the AirPort Base Station's USB
port can be spotty; some work fine and others may require an
other way around their unwillingness to function. There still are
some wireless printer servers out there; not sure if they'd work.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can no longer print via Airport Extreme BS Network

I can no longer get my Samsung laser printer (ML-1210) to print via my Airport Extreme Base Station Network. All I get is the Printer Center telling me that it can't find the printer. Prior to OS X 10.4.4 and Airport Firmware update 5.7 no problems, after OS X 10.4.4 and Airport Firmware update 5.7 some types of documents (.pdf) would print sometime and some types (.rtd) wouldn't print at all. After OS X 10.4.5 nothing prints.
The printer is connected to the AEBS via an USB cable.
So far directly connecting my PB to the printer via an USB cable seems to print OK, as far as regular text files (Rich, and Plain) are concerned.

I tried so many things I'm dizzy. Nothing done to the computer, not even clean installing OS 10.4 on an external HD and booting from that worked. What seems to have finally worked (????) was reverting the AEBS Firmware version down to version 5.5.1.
Since I print so infrequently I'm not going to say it's all OK until I do some more testing/printing.
In the mean time if anyone can give me an specific idea why this conflict may be happening and what else I can do to fix it without running my AEBS with older Firmware I would be grateful.
The latest driver for Samaung ML-1210 is a couple of years old and I think it is a proprietary code (not something standard like PostScript).
I'm not sure if it's only the AEBS Firmware or a combination of conflicts between the "OS Version-Printer Driver-AEBS Firmware".
Thanks.

My iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth

my iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth. All it does in Settings is continually search for devices. I've rebooted the phone, as well as the printer. I even sat next to the printer with no luck. It did find the printer when I initially set it up.

Did this work for you in the past?
ios does not support bluetooth printers without extra software.

You need to buy the right printer.
The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi. So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.
