HP or other printer recommendations???

I've been through it (other postings) about trying to use my HP (1315xi) with my three apples (on AirPort Express) and have given up. So ... can anyone recommend an inexpensive HP model, or another reasonable brand (no $1k printers, please) that they KNOW works with all computers when plugged into the USB port on the AirPort Express?

Another option to consider is getting a printer which has its own integrated print server, I have been pleased with my Canon iP4000r.

  • Printer RECOMMENDATIONS/Suggestions

    I would love one or all of your wireless printer recommendations.
    I had an HP and it wasn't great. Now I have a Cannon PIXMA and the colors are pale and can't scan wirelessly and just doesn't interact well with the Mac.
    What are your best suggestions for a wireless all-in-one printer?

    I've had good luck with my Epson Artisan 810.

  • WPS Printer Recommendations

    We recently purchased an HP LJ m451nw printer and have failed to get it paired correctly with our Airport Extreme WIFI network (latest firmware).   The problem is apparently with HP firmware. That's a long and unrelated frustrating story.
    My question is what WIFI printer recommendations have folks had success with, on a similar config?
    The problems I'm trying to solve:
    * Make the WIFI printer available to everyone on the Airport Extreme network
    * Also, have the printer use both network connections (LAN and WIFI, something HP cannot do)
    I probably should have inquired here first. :-)
    The environment is a medium-sized office, so that would be factored in the size and quality of printer.   B&W only is fine, too -- ours just happens to be color.
    Thank you in advance.

    When you use HP stuff.. in a network.. WPS can be a problem.. but on the apple WPS system did you try first attempt not pin.. apparently most HP will not work with pin.
    I have good reports of Brother.. I personally still use the older series HP with EIO slots.. Or MIO I think they became.. Sometimes old printers are better than new ones.
    Ethernet or wireless will make no difference.. it is a network printer.. once on the network it should be accessible to every computer..  BUT airprint only works to wireless.. so that is the more important one.
    As a work around.. there is nothing wrong with buying a cheap little TP-Link (or any of the china brands) N lite routers.. $30 or so.. and use it as AP on the network for the HP in particular or any PC .. that will still allow it to be used by any device on the network and even airprint should work.

  • A3 Printer Recommendation

    My canon 9000 printer has died so need new - A3 Printer - Recommendation on  a printer that will operate on my old power mac G5 - OS X 10.5.8 would be very much appreciated

    Welcome, Wombat!
    I don't have a specific recommendation for an A#-capable unit (not a common size in my corner of the world) but can relate my experiences with finding printers for older Macs.
    In helping a friend get a printer for an old Mac, we found no current multifunctions that did not require an Intel processor, something the G5 lacks. However, we did find some inexpensive print-only ink jets from Canon and Brother that, by getting drivers from their web sites, would support as far back as G3 processors and Mac OS10.3.9. We set him up with a Canon PIXMA 3100 (I think--that was about 18 months ago!).

  • I can no longer print off a web page (eg Flight booking confirmation). Other printer functions are OK. Any ideas?

    My printer will no longer print off web-pages, either from the tool bar command or from the "print page" command. This has only just happened and seeems to have followed a MS up-date, but can't be sure.
    Can anyone suggest a fix?
    All other printer functions work OK.
    Many thanks.

    My printer is HP Photosmart C4650 Series. I can print from everything but the Web. I don't get an error message or anything it just will not print.
    I'm using Windows 7, it had been doing fine than it just decided to quit printing from the web.
    T'hank You,

  • I am unable to print a proper playlist in the jewel case format.  Lines print on top of one another.  No problem with other print formats

    I am unable to properly print a playlist in the jewel case format.  All lines bunch together.  I have no problem with other print formats.  Help please.

    If it is a USB powered external, no AC adpater, that may be the reason. Mac notebooks are known to have low powered USB ports. You can get around that with a Y USB cable to connect to 2 USB ports at the same time.

  • Full ink cartridges​, test page prints in colour but any other printing is black and white

    I've replaced low ink cartridges cyan and magenta, not empty, and despite the test page printing colour, any other printing is in black and white. 
    I chosen to print in colour when given the option.
    Help!

    Hello jonnyken,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you are unable to print color from your Chromebook to your Officejet 6700, but it will print color test pages and the inks are full. I would like to offer a Thread that has some great suggestions in it for this issue.

  • Headings and other print run into each other and I cnnot see all the print in some boxes on vrious web sites. I have removed and re-installed more than once.

    copy on the web pages overlap.....headlines appear over other print.....link tabs are on top of each other. I have removed and re-installed Firefox many times. This does not happen with other browsers. Also, some web sites show sections that are off center.

    Hi,
    Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20prints%20pages%20in%20a%20different%20layout this]. If the site has a Print button/icon you can try to use that. On some sites you can also try to right-click the content > '''This Frame''' > '''Print frame'''.

  • With all of the applications available, what other applications recommended to use along with Captivate 8.

    With all of the applications available, what other applications recommended to use along with Captivate 8.  I do not heed to install all of them, just what I need.

    Personally I use both Photoshop and Audition (both in CC) a lot when using Captivate 8. There is roundtripping possible with those two Adobe applications. If you have a CC subscription try it out! And when needing HTML5 output, you can insert published Edge Animate files, to replace former Flash animations. As you can see in CP8, Edge Inspect can be used to test the output on mobile devices without having to publish or to deploy on a webserver.

  • When I try to print an address from Address Book on an envelope, the printer menu shows the menu from IPhoto.  All other print requests show the normal pinter menu. How do get the normal menu?

    Mike,
    Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
    I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer.  Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected.  It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

  • Do adjustments made for one print size hold for other print sizes?

    Hi,
    Other than re-adjusting for sharpness and/or definition, can we go from one print size to any other print size when using the exact same paper from the exact same manufacturer?
    Thanks,
    Raphael

    Carolyn -
    Thank you for your respose of 5/1/09 -- sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
    1.) I tried your suggestion, but the problem is that Apple and HP have worked to include all/most of the HP software into OS X v. 10.4.11 and beyond. I did not find in my user/.../Library/Preferences .plist files directly referencing my HP 990 Cse printer, which was the only printer not displaying the Printer Dialogue Box.
    Open your User/..../Library/Preferences to see the list of .plist files for HP and other manufacturers.
    The open the [top level] your-hard-drive/library/Printers/HP to see the [root=basic] files which, I believe, are the actual OS X system files which are on the original System CD or are downloaded for the updates.
    2.) I finally got the Printer Dialogue Box for the HP 990 Cse to work --
    a.) I ran the OS X Printer Setup Utility app.
    b.) I then dragged the icon for the HP 990 Cse printer to the trash; and emptied the trasn.
    c.) Restarted the OS X.
    d.) Ran the OS X Printer Setup Utillity app again
    e.) When the HP 990 Cse did not appear in the list of printers I clicked the "Add" icon.
    f.) I selected to add the HP 990 to the Printer List
    g.) Nothing happened when I tried to access the HP 990 Printer Dialogue Box.
    h.) I did a restart.
    i.) I then did a print job using the HP 990.
    j.) When the HP 990 icon appeared at the right end of the dock, next to the trash, I grabbed it and dragged it to the place in the dock where I wanted it to reside.
    IT WORKS JUST GREAT NOW !!!!
    Thanks for your help, as you helped me consider the problem at a deeper level.

  • Are there any other Print on Demand services in Australia other than Blurb?

    I have started looking at making a Photobook as a gift for someone, and am wondering if there are any other Print on Demand services in Australia.
    I am only asking as I found that the shipping cost for the book I am designing almost doubles the cost.
    Other services that I have come across are:
    xlibris - too expensive to set-up for a 1 off book
    publish-me - does not appear to do 1 off's
    momentopro - need an ABN to use their service
    Any ideas?

    This may be more advanced than what you're ready for, but this is one way to do it
    http://blog.iconara.net/2008/03/30/separating-event-handling-from-event-filtering/
    I've actually done this with a "chain of responsibility," where each link has a determineResponsibility callback and handleResponsibility callback. If it doesn't handle the responsibility (because it's not responsible), it sends the request on to the next link in the chain, which handles it or doesn't. If you're not familiar with a callback, it's a variable of type Function so that you can change what function gets called at various times.
    To clarify, you'd hand the first link in the chain a reference to the event, then call something like a process() method with a reference to the Event. This would call determineResponsibility(), which would look at the event to see if the characteristics of the event are what you want. If it returns true, it would call handleResponsibility(). If it returns false, you would call process() on the next link. The advantage of this design is that you can add and remove links as needed to handle changing needs in your system. For example, if the character hits something that disables right movement until the user hits the left arrow, remove the right arrow link until the user hits the left arrow, then put it back.

  • Printer recommendations please.

    Hi, I need a new printer and would like recommendations as to what to buy. The last printer I bought was an HP 1220c for an Imac running OS 9. When I upgraded to OS X I lost many of the printer's features, booklet and two sided printing most frustratingly, and never regained them. I need booklet printing, two sided printing, and preferably large format printing. I am looking at two printers from HP in particular, the OfficeJet 7300 at <http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/18972-238444-410635-12019-f51-39 1181.html>, and the Deskjet 9800 at <http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/productdetail.do?product_code=C8165A%23A2L&tab=overview&storeName=storefronts&landing=p rinters&category=inkjets&subcat1=seeall&catLevel=3#defaultAnchor>. HP claims that they are MAC compatible, but I don't trust them. If anyone has personal experience with either of these printers, I would appreciate your opinions of them.
    Thank you, Caoim

    I also have a HP DeskJet 1220c and had problems with it using OSX. I tried many solutions (selected print drivers), but ended up purchasing a print driver for the 1220c from PrintFab. http://www.printfab.net/ I had to experiment with the menus to get the best print quality, but finally got good results. I don't print two-sided, so I don't know if that would still be a problem. (There is a menu for paper handling.) You can download a demo version to try and see if it works for you. Just another option you can try before purchasing a new printer.

  • Personal, Color, Inkjet Printer -- Recommendations?

    I need to get a new printer, and am looking for advice on a good model.
    The only things I require, is that it be:
    * inkjet
    * color printing
    * tray loading

    A few thoughts:
    - Look into the ongoing costs for ink. I have a trusty old hp G85 multifunction for which each ink cartridge cost about $50 but they're monstrously huge compared with the teeny cartridges in new inkjets. Even so, I've moved most of my printing and my family's to a big office-class printer because I was shelling out too much for ink. I'm not suggesting against ink jet, only that you look into the cost/page kinda thing for your candidates. (Although maybe you already knew that and you were just hoping to curtail the search by asking the forum)
    - If it's for more than one machine I'd absolutely recommend getting one with an Ethernet attachment. USB-attached printer sharing is not great on any OS and carries with it the restriction that the attached computer be powered up & awake. Even my G85 now is on the Ethernet (via hp 300x)
    - If it supports Postscript you won't be in driver ****, no matter what the OS and future presents.
