HP Photosmart 5510d can't be printed to by 2 laptops over wireless network

Computer 1 - Vista 32 Pro
Computer 2 - Win 7 64 Premium
Both have current drivers. Both can find the printer. Both can cancel print queue jobs.
Both get the "The printer is not connected" or "printer is not online" error.
I've checked the IP addy: 192.168.1.101
There is a desktop system that is able to print to the printer - it is located directly next to the printer, but prints wirelessly. I moved one of the systems into the same room as the printer; no dice. We've even had the "next door" computer wake up - and the printer still doesn't do diddly in regards to the laptop.
At least one system is able to access the Printer Assistant - and see what current ink levels are, which match what the printer self-page spits out. (I haven't tested it w/ the other laptop).
Help?

Set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of your router. Use a fixed channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto'. Now try.

Can't print from Windows PC to printer on I-Mac USB over wireless network

I am a brand new Mac user after years of Windows frustration.
Canon i9100 connected to I-Mac via USB. Prints OK from I-Mac. Print share enabled. Windows share enabled.
I-Mac on wireless LAN with static IP addresses for all devices.
Dell Windows XP on same wireless LAN.
Can ping I-Mac OK.
Added printer on Dell through Windows XP using I-Mac static IP address and I-Mac printer name - installed OK, but will not print.
After hours on Apple Support, found and downloaded Bonjour for Windows and installed on Dell. Ran Bonjour on Dell, installed printer OK, but still won't print from Dell.
Very frustrating and I haven't started on my VPN issues yet - thought Apple would be far simpler.

On Windows, after either method of setup, change the driver (on PC) to Apple Color LaserWriter. Apple print queues expect postscript as input.
If this is unsatisfactory, you can create a RAW queue on the Mac (only for sharing the printer, because it will have no driver associated):

Printing from pc laptop over wireless network

Hi,
I have been successful getting my mac to see my wife's xp pro laptop and the laptop sees the mac. I installed the canon i960 driver on the laptop but can't get it to print.
If I open the i960 q on the mac and send a file from the laptop nothing happens. If i send a file from the mac it shows up. Withe the q on hold and the mac file showing I send a file from the laptop and it shows in the q. If i resume printing the mac file will print but the laptop file just disappears.
If there is nothing in the q on the mac side the laptop file will not show up. when it does show up along with the mac file it does not print.
I can see the q on the lap top as on the the mac. I also get a general message that the laptop cannot communicate with the printer
Driver problem?
baffles me.
thanks

Have a look at this guide if you are running 10.4

Important note:
If the printer attached to the Mac is a black and white printer you need to use the Apple Laserwriter driver regardless of which printer you actually have.
So if you have a black and white laser printer, you should use the Apple Laserwriter driver.
If the printer attached is a colour printer use the Apple Color Laserwriter driver regardless of which printer you actually have.
So if you have a colour inkjet printer, you should use the Apple Color Laserwriter driver.

My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network

My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened.
So can someone please help and please dont be too technical

Login to your router and view the DHCP clients.

My ipad2 recognizes my hp c410a printer (which supports air print) but nothing prints. Printer is set up on a wireless network. Printer sees, nothing prints.

The router is a Linksys WRTU54G-TM. The Ipad recognizes the printer and spools the print job but there is no action at the printer. E-Print works.

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

My Photosmart 5512 can copy, scan, print documents, but it won't print web pages

Yesterday, having had problems scanning on my HP Photosmart 5512 All-in-One printer after an HP update, I went to the HP support site and downloaded the most recent driver for my printer. Once it had finished downloading, it automatically went into the installation process. Almost everything ended up working fine except I'm unable to print a web page. I can print from Word and Excel, I can make copies, and I can scan.
I installed and then ran the print and scan doctor, but to no avail. When I looked at the print queue there was nothing there, even though I had made four attempts to print a webpage.
Does anyone there have any ideas? Your assistance would be most appreciated.
Dena Sommer

Thank you for your help! I tried reseting the printing system and removed the printer (as indicated in the instructions); however, when trying to add the printer back on it says, "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time." The printer says that it's connected and the ePrint setting is on... Any suggestions of what to do from here?

Can a HP B210 AIO printer be connected to 2 different wireless networks at the same time?

I live in a household that has 2 different wireless networks in it (both me and my roommate have our own networks) and we just bought a new B210 series AIO printer. The printer detects both of our networks but only will print from one network at a time. If I want to print from my network I have to manually go to the wireless network wizard on the printer and select my network and re-enter my password. Is there any way that I can set up the printer to acknowledge both networks without having to constantly switch back and forth?

Can't print to my HP D2460 over the network anymore, after upgrade to SL.

Hi,
I upgraded to Snow Leopard today. Now I can't print to my HP D2460 Deskjet printer anymore. The printer is shared from my Windows XP system via SMB. When I try to print I see the following message in the print queue on the Windows XP system: "Remote Downlevel Document - Error printing".
I have updated the print drivers at both ends and still can't get it to work.
If I connect the printer to a USB port on my MacBook Pro, it prints fine. It's only the network/SMB printing that seems to be broken.
Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it?
Cheers.
Gibbo

Try downloading the driver here.

Can't Print Over Wireless Network to HP OfficeJet 6210 connected to XP Comp

I've been trying in vain for the better part of a week and a half to print from my MacBook Pro (w/ Leopard 10.5.5) over my wireless network (Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router) to an HP OfficeJet 6210 connected to my Dell Desktop running Windows XP SP3. I CAN however, both see and print to the printer with a PC laptop running Windows Vista. I've both re-installed and upgraded the drivers to the Windows XP desktop AND the MacBook Pro for the printer and still can't come to a conclusion. I am able to print to the printer from the MacBook Pro when plugged directly in via USB. I've tried to add the printer via "Windows" tab in printer configuration by choosing the network, then the computer, then entering the administrator accounts user name/password, however I'm still unable to print from the MacBook. Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi LukeZim,
Sorry, but drivers on OS X aren't like on Windows (yet), where a driver is just a component in a system that works for all the comm protocols the computer can do. That's the way it would be if manufacturers provided CUPS drivers (CUPS is the print control system on OSX). But most manufacturers are still providing Carbon drivers - where the comm protocol is limited to what is put into the driver. HP provided a Carbon, USB-only driver for your printer. You'll need to use a third-party CUPS driver to use Windows Printing.
Gutenprint drivers (included with Leopard) are CUPS drivers, for example.

Can print via usb, but not via wireless network

My new MacBook Pro prints to my Epson RX500 when the printer is connected via USB to the MBP. However, when the the printer is connected by USB to my desktop PC running XP, the MBP does not print to it. I can see disks and transfer files wirelessly among desktop PC, laptop PC & MBP. The MBP finds the RX500 on the network, and has a driver for it. I can set it as the Mac's default printer. When I print, say from OpenOffice or TextEdit, the dialogs seem ok. Sometimes I see the print queue icon wink in and out on the dock. But the document doesn't get printed. The desktop says the printer is shared, and I can print over the wireless network from my PC laptop running XP.
One of the Apple troubleshooting pages suggests that I should have the same driver version on my XP desktop and my Snow Leopard MBP. I don't know how to tell what version the PC is running.
Any suggestions?

Just to be sure - you know that you can't use Epson's "USB-only" driver for printing to a Windows-shared printer?
You must use the Gutenprint driver - that's why Apple included the Gutenprint drivers in OS X.

Photosmart 5580 will no longer print from my wifes laptop, only from the desktop computer

Hello,
We have an HP computer with a photosmart 5580. We also have a lynksis wireless network set up for the home for all of the kids laptops. My wife and kids used to have the capability to print documents from their laptops. I am not sure if it was going through the wireless network or the bluetooth technology on the laptops. Recently we have run into the problem that they are no longer able to print from their laptops and even from the desktop we have not been able to print. I have had to reinstall the printer onto the desktop 2 times to make the printer work. But then a week or 2 later the computer stops recognizing the printer and I will have to reinstall it. The desktop is only 2 years old but it is barely used since everyone has a laptop. Also a friend of ours says that by doing a disk defrag on the computer that it messes up anything that we have connected to the computer. I strongly disagree with that statement and like I told my wife, if that were the case then the printer would have stopped working last year, but she takes this friends advice seriously and told me to stop the defrags completely.
I am thinking that it may be something in the registry that is causing this problem. Am I headed in the right direction or does anyone else have a different idea to correct this problem?
Thanks

Well, I think the problem is that the printer is getting a different IP address from the router periodically and the printer software cannot keep track of the printer.
The best way to fix this is to reserve an IP address for the printer so that it has the same IP address all the time. Do you need help doing this?
Unless I am missing something, this system is not using Bluetooth, but the Linksys 802.11 wireless system and defragging your hard drive has nothing to do with it (and is generally a waste of time, anyway).

Can't see shared printer over wireless network

I currently have a newer HP F340 injet printer connected to my emac which is on a wireless network (Linksys) so that I can share internet connection with my MacBook Pro. Both are running Mac OS 10.4.8. When I try to print on my MacBook Pro, I don't even see the shared printer, in fact, there isn't even a separate chioce for shared printers. I used to have a Lexmark printer that actually worked on the network.

After following some advice from a different posting, I loaded the gimp print drivers and recreated the printer in the printer listing using the gimp printer. This worked! The only problem I had was that I had to load the whole Mac OSX base system and then the print drivers. This messed up my system and I had to reset a bunch of user preferences, etc. It took me a couple of hours.
