HP LaserJet 5000N Network Install

I have a small temporary network established while we build-out our permanent facility. We are sharing an internet connection through a Cisco Firewall, and all the desktops are currently using DHCP, from that Cisco router, to establish a network ID and the connection to the internet. I have a few small printers that are shared over a simple "Workgroup" share, but need/want to install this JaserJet 5000 as an actual network printer due to its location within the network. I have given the 5000 a specified IP using the same scheme (192.168.100.xx) as the other machines show they are getting from the DHCP, including the SM and GW. However, I cannot ping the printer, nor install it correctly to get a successful test print or normal print. HELP! As a further note, I have a KIP 3200 that I also am having the exact same issue. I KNOW that the cable connections are being made to my switch, as I have tested the connections. I really don't want to have to install my DC on this temporary network. Please help. Thanks!

Is the IP address given to the printer within the DHCP range (what is that range?). If so, try issuing the printer an IP outside the DHCP range.

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.

HP Laserjet 5000N not listed in Print & Scan with Mavericks

Hi,
my old HP Laserjet 5000N that is connected via ethernet to a Airport Extreme does not show in Print & Scan. I had this setup before with a Mac mini Macos 10.6, but since i have a new Mac mini (2013) running Mavericks i do not see the printerdriver in Print & Scan. After clicking the [+] i can't 'Add' since it is not active (light grey). I'v downloaded 'HPPrinterDriver2.16.1.dmg' and installed it, but no change ..
Any help?
Best,
Patrick

I need to know how you did add it manually the ip address and what drivers you use? Please let me know I have the same printer and I need to set it up on my network with my mac desktop
Thanks!

Laserjet 5000n on 10.4.11

I am new to Macs, though very conversant with PCs. At work I find an oldish Mac Pro, intel processor 2 x 2.66, 10GB memory and running OS X 10.4.11. There is an HP Laserjet 5000n attaached which has 68MB memory. Wired connection to network
Printing a single page of a pdf takes about 10-15 mins. The same page prints out in under a minute on an Epson Stylus Photo R800
I have tried looking for an updated printer driver and there is one from HP. When I install it, the installed driver version does not change, although it appears to have gone through the full cycle.
I am not sure what the significance of appletalk is as opposed to "printing over ip." If I instal the printer to hp jetdirect nothing happens and if i point my browser at the ip address all i get is a message saying "Mac OS is not supported to run this application." The printer is currently connected theough appletalk.
Can anyone help. I should add that I added 8Gb of memory to the computer and 64MB to the printer, and both are recognised, but neither made any difference to the speed.
Will updating the OS improve the speed of printing?
IS there something specific about the laserjet.
I'm working for a not-for-profit organisation and there is no immediate budget for large scale upgrade and the equipment is otherwise quite satisfactory for preparing pdfs for printing commerically off site, using Adobe CS.

OS 10.6.1 Printing to an HP LaserJet 5000n

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard a few weeks ago, I've been unable to print to my LaserJet 5000n printer. Drivers seem to be unavailable, although the initial compatibility charts indicated that it shouldn't be a problem. Nothing shows up in the printer setup dialog or when I go to add printer. I'm hoping someone has a solution other than buy a new printer. Networking is fine and i'm able to print from my other Mac (G5 running 10.4.11) on same network. Everything was working fine prior to the 10,6.1 upgrade. HP says there are no drivers available yet. Apple says they are. Anyone else with similar problem?

I had a similar problem with a wireless/network HP Photosmart C4380, but now it's fixed.
I read elsewhere that Snow Leopard now includes drivers for printers and scanners. Having therefore uninstalled HP software I printed again. Initially I was told there were no printers, then there was a list of 'nearby printers', which includes Bonjour and networked printers. Having selected my printer I had to again download a driver, but it then worked.
If you then look in Print Preferences, there is now a 'Scan Preferences' button, which worked (although not as well as the HP software). There also seems to be the option to retain some HP software, even though I thought I'd deleted it so it must be fully incorporated in Snow Leopard.
Good luck !

MacPro. OS X 10.6.7. - connectivity to HP Laserjet 5000N

Hi,
I used to have a HP4MV printer to print b&w 11x17 documents on OS X 10.5.8.
Now, with 10.6.7, that printer is not supported anymore, and also Appletalk doesn't work anymore.
How would I use a HP Laserjet 5000N within an Ethernet network (MacPro plus a MacBook)? Are my Macs "smart" enough to automatically recognize the printer on an Ethernet network? Or do I have to use a serial to USB adapter in order to make the printer work?
I haven't bought the HP 5000N yet (it's a refurbished model).
Thanks!

I continue to use AppleTalk printers by having an iBook running 10.4 on my home Network and Sharing Printers. The printers are connected to the network using AppleTalk-over-Ethernet and a farallon converter box to AppleTalk/LocalTalk. The more modern Macs can only see these printers through the iBook "host".
You can talk to many more modern Ethernet printers directly, just by cabling them up. There are two classes.
"Smart" printers use a Postscript or PCL driver, and the computer specifies the fonts and sends the characters. These work great with an Ethernet printer attached to a port on your Router (or in some cases, wireless).
"Dumb" printers use a monolithic driver that does all the rasterization on the Mac, and send the huge stream of bits to the printer. As long as there IS a driver for the Mac, these will work as well. Most USB printers work this way as well.
Remember that the original LaserWriter -- the machine that really put the Macintosh on the Map -- was a Network Printer. So YES, the Mac does Network Printers.

Print to a Laserjet 4050 networked on an XP machine from my iPad

How can I print to a Laserjet 4050 networked on an XP machine from my iPad? Can I use the AIO app? does not find the printer. Thanks.

@Mojo-Risin
If I understand your question, you would like to use the AiO remote app on your iPad with your Laserjet 4050, correct? If this is case, unfortunately, the AiO remote app is not supported with the Laserjet 4050 and the iPad.
Thank you.

I just bought an HP Laserjet 5000N to make printing plates. I don't know how to connect it.

I just bought an HP Laserjet 5000N to make printing plates. A friend bought the HP 5000 and used a parallel to UBS cable to connect directly to her printer but she thinks her cable is interferring with running her jobs (too slow a memory). I don't actually know what the Jetdirect 610 card does. Can I connect through this ethernet port directly to my laptop, or do I use the serial side, or do I need to go through a router? Any advice?

If your computer is connected to the internet, and you connect the printer to the computer the printer is connected, if that is what you are asking.
The parellel cable is slow to transmit data. It is an older technology. Still works and is okay for type and large documents where the information load is low. Photoshop files are large and it cannot handle higher information loads well, so keep the files small.
The serial cable may have been upgraded to handle more information, as opposed to the parellel, so I would check at a computer supply store that carries cables.
To connect wirelessly we use the Jet Direct card. It has an ethernet connection that can plug into your modem which is plugged into your computer to access the internet. You still have to pay an internet provider. If your room has wireless internet you can get a wireless modem which will pick up the signal. You plug an ethernet cable from the Jet Direct card to the wireless modem, then use the IP number from the printer to set up the driver in your computer which then allows you to print. The Jet Direct card is just a chip board thing which just plugs into the computer at the back. See installation instructions for that but it is really easy. It is about $35 from feed roller.com for a used one, and worth it. It runs faster then the parellel cable without stalling out ie can handle more data.
You can get the IP number by plugging in the computer and hit menu then configuration. You don't need it to print directly from the computer using the serial or parallel cables. The other thing to check from the configuration page is the amount of memory. I upgraded to about 44 MBytes and the school one is 72 Mbytes. More memory helps. New technology uses more information. Again, an easy upgrade if you are using Photoshop. The memory chips were $10-15 dollars from feedroller.

We upgraded the driver to the current OS 10.8. It was not the original driver, but once we upgraded to that operating system, the print out was screwing up, so upgrade solved that. Follow the directions on the link. It is easy to 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.

Acrobat 9.0 Network install not removing reader or supressing license

I am running a network install created by the customization wizard of Acrobat 9. In the wizard I told it to remove all versions of reader and Acrobat and suppress the user agreement. The program installs but users have to agree ULA, and reader 7 is still there and default.
It seems as though the MST is not being read during the install process. I have checked the setup.ini and it is pointing at the correct MST file. I have also used this same install in other remote offices without issue.
Any Ideas?

Are you installing the package directly from the .msi file? If so, you'll need to specify your custom transforms by using the transforms property. For example,
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi transforms=AcroRead.mst /qb

Include all updates for Office 2010 PP during custom network install

Hello...
I'm currently doing a custom network install of Office 2010 Professional Plus 32bit edition. The custom install is working fine with the MSP file in the \Updates folder.
I would now like to add all of the current updates, hotfixes, and service packs to the \Update folder so that Office 2010 is completely up-to-date when being deployed. I understand that I need to put the MSP files for these updates, hotfixes, and service
packs in the \Updates folder.
A couple questions:
1 - Is there one place that I can download all of the Office 2010 PP 32bit edition updates, hotfixes, and service packs... Excluding any 64bit edition updates? A repository of some sort?
2 - I'm assuming that if the hotfixes, and updates are downloaded as .CAB, I first need to extract it, get the .MSP file and put that into the \Updates folder?
3 - I think Service Packs come down as .exe's??!! If so, do I just put the .exe files in the \Update folder as well or do I need to run something special to extract them like I do with the .CAB files
I appreciate any help someone can give. If there is a better way to accomplish this, I'm open to all suggestions :)
Thanks... Frank

1. Update Center for Office: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ee748587.aspx
2. Yes, we need to get the .MSP file (BTW, the hotfixes are download as .exe file)
3. Yes, we need to get the .MSP file

Solaris 10 Network Install TFTP problem

Hi,
I tried to create jumpstart through network install with Solaris 10.
I'm running into trouble of TFTP problem when trying to add_install_client.
Here is the error I got:
./add_install_client xxx sun4u
svcprop: Couldn't find object for FMRI "network/tftp/udp6:default/:properties/restarter/st ate".
enabling network/tftp/udp6 service
svcadm: Pattern 'network/tftp/udp6' doesn't match any FMRIs, ignoring
On the client side, when I do "boot net - install", I get ARP/RARP error, obviously, the TFTP was not set up right on the server.
I could not find tftpd on the server, anyone has any suggestion what I should do to get tftpd running?
Thanks!

Hi,
i don't now, why it is like it is, there is no xlm manifest for the smf, but there is a "simple"solution:
edit the /etc/inet/inetd.conf, unremark the line for tftpd. Than, when restarting the inetd with "kill -HUP <prozessnumber of inetd", you get a message in /var/adm/messages:
......... inetd[185]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] Configuration file /etc/inet/inetd.conf has been modified since inetconv was last run. "inetconv -i /etc/inet/inetd.conf" must be run to apply any changes to the SMF
Just do what it say's: "inetconf -i /etc/inet/inetd.conf", and you get the smf entry:
# svcs | grep tftp
online 19:05:27 svc:/network/tftp/udp6:default
now it is online, and you can stop and start it with svcadm.

Network Install with wireless

I'm attempting to help a friend install Arch. Network card is BCM4312 (on an ACER laptop), an iwconfig returns with no wireless devices found on lo or eth0, the two interfaces output. We would like to do a network install. The wiki doesn't specify how to deal with iwconfig being unsuccessful; is there anything to do, or should we plug an ethernet cable in and install, then configure wireless with drivers post install (and would that work)?

sorry, yeah setting up the wireless once the initial install is done shouldn't be a problem. I believe my old laptop had the same wireless card, and it wasn't hard to setup at all, i just followed the wireless wiki. I usually wait to setup the wireless until after the base install.
