HP Laserjet 4250 Network Printer Connection Issues

Hello
We have a HP 4250 Laserjet network printer set up as a shared printer on our Windows Server 2003 32-bit print server.
We are using the latest PCL 5e 32-bit drivers and have now added the PCL 5e 64-bit drivers to accomodate a new Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Laptop. However, although it appears to pull the driver across properly, it fails to communicate and complete the installation with the following error:
"Printer Cannot Connect Operation Failed' error 0000007e
I have apoplied the hotfix addressed which addresses a similar problem but this made no difference. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981070/en-gb
Any ideas what I could try next?
Kind Regards
Simon Emms

LaserJet 2550n network printer on XP host PC, can't install Windows 7 client laptop

Have Color LaserJet 2550n network printer connected to XP host PC. I can't install Windows 7 client laptop for printer. The wireless network is fine, I can access documents back and forth, merely the printer doesn't work and there's no way to download 64bit drivers for this printer from HP.

Resolved, not solved.
I talked to HP product support. The Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not install on Windows XP (at least the Home Edition) when networked through a router. It will install through USB. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with only USB connected to clean out all the network printer/scanner information. Product support claimed it would install through an ether net cable connected between the printer and computer but this does little good if you need internet access.

Unable to install hp Color LaserJet 3600n network printer on new Windows 7 (64bit) PC.

Unable to install hp Color LaserJet 3600n network printer on new Windows 7 (64bit) PC. According to Microsoft Windows Compatibility Center website (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=HP%20Col...) this printer is compatible.
I have tried everythingto no avail. HP will not support and have, very little online resources addressing this particular issue. What should I do?

Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer

Hi
Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer
Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
Best Regards

Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

HT4356 Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?

Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?
or must the printer I want to use also have a wifi connection ?
I have a home network using ethernet connected devices to a router, also attached to th erouter is a WiFi unit. We are using the WiFi unit to connect to the network and hence to the big wide WWW. We now want to print from our IPads pereferable to our netowk connected HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a series. (not the wireless model).
I was using the HP ePrint app to print from the Ipad, but I do not fully understand how this works. It seems that you must use the app to do the printing which is fine for basic email and photos, but I can not access the drawing package I have, and want to print from it. Please what is it that I do not understand.

You must use an airprint printer directly connected to wifi through it's own wifi card.

4S Verizon Network / Internet Connectivity Issues?

I have been having problems with what appears to be Verizon Network/Internet Connectivity issues. I am located in northern Colorado, using an iPhone 4S with a Mophie Air battery backup/case.
I am in a solid 4G area (even though the phone is 3G) and I have not had any problems with any connection issues, until last night. I still see three bars of 3G service on the phone indicator area...so it is decieving.
I can still recieve emails, text messages, and phone calls, but nothing that uses the internet will work. All apps seem to try to open and try to update, but the whizzy-wheel indicator just sits and spins until I get a "Network Error" message or a time out error of some kind. Most error pop-ups are saying to check the internet settings and try again. Ugh!
Also, since it seems to be trying to recognize the network all the time (even when all tasks are killed and nothing should be running), my battery is going down MUCH faster today! I took it off of the charger at 7am and it was down to 20% battery in only 4 hours! Then I turned on the battery backup, and it is quickly using that up too! At this rate my phone will be completely DEAD by the time I leave work today, and I haven't even used it for anything all day (except to try to connect to the web a few times - testing)!
I have tried the following so far to try to regain internet through the Verizon network, to no avail:
checked for software updates...phone was up to date with iOS 6.0.1
checked my firmware version (it is 3.0.04)
killed all background/running apps (with the home button double-click/hold icon/end)
"reset" my phone via a couple of methods (both the regular power off option and the force-power off option).
*228, option 2 (to reset Roaming)
cleared all data cache areas/cookies/etc.
Cellular data is set to "On"; Roaming is set to "On" for all options;
I have a 64GB device (57.3 usable capacity) of which I still show 46.2 available.
WiFi is set to "Off" (although I can use WiFi at home with no problem if I need to, but I shouldn't have to!)
Airplane Mode is set to "Off"; Restrictions are set to "Off"; Bluetooth is set to "Off"
Basically, there is NO REASON my phone should be having connection issues!
PLEASE HELP?!!

I tried everything you did and more, i thought i had it working, but i got a voicemail today and when i went to open it earlier it just has the wheel loading forever and then says it cant onnect to voicemail. the searching does make it wear down the battery faster as well. i can get calls, texts etc, but i cant help but think there are a few bugs with the ios 6.01 software

Old Printer Connection Issues

I am in need of connecting a HP Laserjet 4 Plus printer to a new windows computer.
I bought a USB to Serial Cable (9pin) adaptor.
The printer driver is installed from the previous network connection and shows a greenlight check next to the state of the printer, but it shows that it is offline.
I cannot get anything to print.
The USB to Serial cable i bought came with a CD, but no instuctions on what to do with it.
Is the problem with the cable? What do I need to do?
Thank you for any help.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Network Printing

Here we go again. I just upgraded the Windows 7 and I am still having the same network printing issues I encountered in Vista.
1. It doesn't appear that there is a Windows 7 32-bit driver for this printer, am I wrong? I found the drivers page for this printer and it is VERY POORLY written. All I can surmise is that I should install a universal printer driver.
2. The printer is going OFFLINE constantly. This printer is connected directly to my hub with a network cable. I have two other printers on my network, one is a Brother and another is a Canon. I have never ONCE experienced this issue with their printers. They just work like they are supposed to. Why does this continually happen with this HP printer. The only resolution I have found is to delete the printer and add it back. Every two days delete the printer and add it back, uggghhhh. Give me a break, don't you guys test this stuff before you sell it?
As you can see I am not a happy camper.

I'd like to add that the driver provided by HP doesn't allow duplex printing - one of the main reasons I purchased the 2605 printer. Is there a duplex option available?
Surely, my 2605 is still within its service life. I would have expected HP to do a better job in the transistion to Windows 7 than throwing out some awful generic driver...
Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista/WIndows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting guide as described here.

Windows 7 won't print pdf to network printer connected to Mac

Hi,
I have a printer connected to my Mac and have shared the printer on my home network. I can print documents from a Windows 7 computer on my network but when I try to print a pdf from adobe reader it will not print, or ever go to the print queue.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
[OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

Having network printer connection problems using a Macbook Pro

I hope a "greater mind" can suggest a solution to the following problem:
Up until 2 days ago, I was successfully connected to the network printer at my office using both my Macbook Pro at work and at home (both wirelessly, OS 10.6.8). From yesterday, however, I now only receive the following message when I send a file for printing: "network host (and then its IP address) is busy. Will try again in 10 seconds."
All right, my system admin. advised me to re-install the printer on both computers. I did. In printer set-up, 1) Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD; 2) Address: the IP address of the printer; 3) Queue: secinmac. This is the queue name specifically for Mac use and given to us by the company who installed our network printer; 4) Name: we use the printer's IP address; 5) Location: left blank; 6) Print Using: Generic PCL Laser Printer. Further for 6), in the "installable options" dialog box, I click "Duplexer". Then, finally, I click "ADD". The printer is added.
However, when I try to print a file, I continue to get the "busy" message. The file spools for about 3%, and then the "busy message" appears, and I cannot print. You can imagine how frustrating this is when the problem has arisen from one day to the next! A colleague who also uses a MacBook Pro sent a file to print on the network printer today, and he had no problems! I, however, have no success !
Any ideas that can help me? Thanks, in advance!

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Yes, I tried this when I was reading a bit of Apple communities history on this matter, and it did not work. I also tried this, and then rebooted my Mac, but to no avail! While I was at the office today, my system admin also logged into our network and tried to get something to print on his Mac, but he now has the same problem as I do.
He gets the "busy message", too !
I'll try to see if I can get a solution from APPLE by going through my support service agreement.....From reading the history on this issue, I would have thought that APPLE would have worked on this to come up with a fix by now...!
Thank you again for your suggestion! Cheers.

HP Laserjet 4250 - While Printing PDFs with Watermark, Prints images as scrambled

Hi,
I am using HP Laserjet 4250 printer. While Printing PDFs with Watermark, the printer prints images as scrambled. It prints the part of the image as scrambled which is overlapped by the Watermark. The other part of the image is printed fine. When seen on the screen, it shows up the image with the watermark properly. Could you please suggest how to arrive at a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Sebastian43
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP LaserJet 6L is a commercial model.

How to install driver on a 64 bit system to access a networked printer connected to a 32 bit pc?

Did a clean install of 64 bit Windows 7 and tried to connect to Deskjet printer connected to a 32 bit Windows 7 system on home network. Said to install from Windows installation DVD but no such animal on DVD. HP error only talked about USB connection and said nothing about network. Hookup worked fine when everything was 32 bit.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sorry, that wasn't clear at all. I would use the 64 bit machine to go on the internet and download the latest 64 bit driver for the printer. Just run the setup on the 64 bit machine and I believe it will give you the option to search for a shared printer. You must use the 64 bit version of the printer driver on the 64 bit machine. The driver is just telling the 64 bit machine how to communicate with the printer no matter where it is.

Hp laserjet p1102w networked printer shuts itself off

Hi, I have a networked (not wireless network) printer, which is plugged into a computer that is always on. However, it shuts itself off randomly, even though I have set it to never do so. This means that users must walk over, turn the printer on, and occasionally restart their computers before they are able to print, which sometimes causes them to lose work. Occasionally the users will also receive a message like:
The printer spooler on the server was not responding
Which means someone must reset the server spooler before it will print.
I have also set it to go into power-save mode at the longest interval, one hour, but it frequently goes to sleep within minutes of a print-job, often sparking the above issues.
If there is anything that I can do further to keep from forcing the users to constantly turn it on, or to keep from having to restart the spooler every day, that would be great.
I am working with machines using Windows 7 and 8, and with a Windows Server 2012.

I got to this screen by going to the web interface by typing the printer's IP address into a web-browser's address bar.
Sorry for the delayed response. I will do my best to assist you when I get home.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
