HP Photosmart C3180 connected via USB hub

I am using an HP C3180 printer connected via USB to a Mac PowerBook G4. When connected directly to the PowerBook G4 the printer works just fine. Trying to connect it via a Belkin 4 port USB (1.1) hub ----the printer is not seen when connected via the hub. Can the C3180 be connected via a hub ? Must it be USB 2.0 if it is a hub ?

I have the HPC309a, but had the same problem with my airport a while back.
If you have a password on your airport network and try to print, if this works and you want to put the password back on, you'll have to go through a setup process, that is a pain, but at least you'll know what the hold up is.
Also: Check your firmware on your airport and see what version you have. The new 7.5.2 is giving people problems. You can downgrade firmware and try that. I am running 7.5.1 and all is well.
Finally, I dumped all HP downloaded software (uninstalled it all, this did it in the end for me) as Apple has their own. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669

  • Photosmart 7525 connect via USB & wireless

    I just got a new HP 7525 and would like to know if I can access the printer using the USB connection for my primary desktop PC; and also have other PCs/devices occasionally and randomly access the same printer via a wireless connection using my router.
    This question was solved.

    Yes, you can use the printer with both the USB and wireless connections simultaneously.

  • Photosmart 7515 connect via USB but not wireless, Device not found on Network

    Purchased a 7515 all-in-one, was able to setup wirelessly to MacPro but has lost ability to connect wirelessly.  This happened with OS X Lion and nor MountainLion.  Have a TimeMachine Airport.  Printer connects to network but during setup from MacPro, repeatedly get "Device Not Found on Network" after stepping through wireless installation setup screens.  I have reset router, printer, firmware updates, software updates.... at wits end.  I have followed the instructions on the below resource page link with no luck.  Use WPA-PSK encryption (Automatic AES or TKIP) on network and diagnostics on printer pass.
    Please help anyone!

    It sounds like the Macs and the printer just aren't communicating.
    If you press the network icon on the printer, does it indicate it is connected to the network?
    I recommend two additional steps that are not listed in the linked document.  The printing system of the Mac may need to be reset as it will clear any software that could be interfering (such as corrupted installations).
    Follow the steps as outlined for 10.7 or 10.8 in this document from HP.
    The next step is to install the driver package from Apple.  This can be found here.

  • EliteDisplay s231d not connecting via USB

    I have an EliteDisplay S231d. I cannot connect via USB to my laptop. I can see the display in connected devices, but cannot switch to it and use the built in hub.
    I have downloaded the latest drivers and software for your site.
    I have Windows 8.1pro and am connecting via the out port of the screen using the included USB cable to a USB3.0 port.
    The serial number of my screen is 6CM4380VDW.
    Cheers,

    The mini usb plug goes into the centre port at the bottom on the PlayBook. The RIM symbol must be up if you will damage the connection if inserted the wrong way. I put a white dot onto the correct side of the plug to make sure I get it right.
    You may have a firewall setting on your computer that keeps you from connecting to the PlayBook .

  • When iPhone 5s is connected via USB no audio is heard

    Hi There -
    I've seen older threads on this issue but I don't think I've really come across any solutions. My issue started yesterday; now before reading further I have to ask that you please keep in mind that I did perform the latest upgrade on my iPhone a bit earlier in the day.
    When I connect my iPhone to my vehicle sync system and announce that I'd like to connect via USB, the voice recognition repeats my request and then the music on my iPhone shows to be playing on the display in my vehicle. The problem is that though the music appears to be playing and the minutes played are being displayed there is no audio coming through. When I switch to the Bluetooth Audio option all sound comes through.
    Now, as a 2nd test, we connected my sons iPhone 5s via USB (he has not taken the latest update on his iPhone) and the same issue happens with his. Voice recognition changes to the USB format as requested, music appears to be playing but no audio is heard. When we change his phone to Bluetooth Audio the audio comes through nice and clear.
    I'm not entirely convinced the update caused the issue so I wanted to put this out there to see if anyone has run into this and were able to actually resolve the issue.
    I know the USB cable is working fine because when I do plug it into either phone the phone makes the little connection sound and pops up a brief battery percentage box. I also know the cable is working because when we announce USB as our audio of choice the system recognize USB via the iPhone.
    One other thing I tried looking for was the option on the phone to switch from Docked to Synch - I know on my iPhone 4 I was able to switch back and forth through iTunes and would also have the option if I tried to watch anything via You Tube when connected to the dock; I cannot find this anywhere on the 5s when connected via USB.
    Help is greatly appreciated!!!

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

  • TS2756 I can no longer connect via USB/service missing

    ..& my iPhone does not show up on the list anymore.  I can still use Wi-Fi, though.  I would like to be able to use the USB connection again.  Resetting the network settings doesn't help.  BTW, I'm using it with my MacBook Pro running 10.7.5 and my iPhone has the latest iOS update as well.
    When I first got the phone, I always used my internet connection via USB, but then it started giving me trouble.  I tried all kinds of suggestions that I found here and it was a real crap shoot -- sometimes it worked, and sometimes not.  Now it just won't work at all.  I recently deleted my iPhone from the list of services thinking that the next time I plugged it in, it would recreated the service.  It did not.  So, I'm still using it as before: just connecting over Wi-Fi (the network is still available, it just doesn't show up in my list of services on the left-hand column under "network").
    Anyone have any suggestions that they know will fix this? 

    Hi DaveX83 and welcome to the discussions.
    A few things to try.
    Press the reset button once on the back of your Extreme and let it restart. Check for proper operation.
    If no help there, keep the ethernet cable connected, and open Airport Utility. Click on Manual Setup near the bottom of the pane. On the next screen click the Airport icon at the upper left of the pane, then click Wireless in the line just below that reads Summary - Time Capsule - Wireless - Access.
    Check to see that your wireless is set up, security set up, passwords, etc. You may need to reconfigure your wireless settings again and update the Extreme to store them and restart.
    Hope this helps.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A 910A, Vista 32-bit, will not connect via usb to my PC!!!

    I used to have this all in one connected to my pc, until I was experiencing a few printing issues, so I decided to uninstall it!  When I tried to reinstall it, the pc will not connect it.  I have tried different ports and have replaced the cable, also downloaded the latest software and drivers all to  no avail.  I can connect wirelessly to my laptop, but unfortunately this isn't a solution for my desktop as it's not wireless, therefore it has to be connected via usb.  At my wits end, please help me!!!!!

    Hello,
    Can you try inserting a flash drive into one of the USB ports in the printer, to make sure it reads it?
    The port on the printer might be what's giving you the issue. Also, can you try connecting the printer USB to a different PC?
    Let me know the outcome.

  • After updating to iOS 8.3 on my 5s, my phone no longer will connect via USB to my GMC Terrain.

    Bluetooth connections still work and was able to connect via USB with an iPhone 6, bit the 5s will only play the first 5 seconds of a song after it is connected, then the song stops and no matter what is done, even restarting the car, it will not reconnect, I only receive an error saying that it is connecting the USB. Is there a fix for this?

    Confirmed solution from Apple:
    You need to do a full OS restore through iTunes on your phone. You can then restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup to be back in business. It *****, but that's the only solution right now.

  • How do I make my printer more secure while connected via USB to my Airport?

    So a neighbor (a friend, fortunately) accidentally installed my printer on her computer via the network (her computer showed it as a 'Bonjour' printer) and started printing stuff, even though my printer is connected to an encrypted Airport Extreme.
    My printer (an old HP deskjet 5550) is connected via USB to my Airport Extreme, which has a WPA2 secure password protecting it. Also, the "Share this printer" box was unchecked in the printer utility.
    The DSL lines for me and my 20 condo neighbors all convene in the basement somewhere into one or several master routers.
    I'm concerned about this breach of security (obviously) and wondering about security of my iMac as well. The iMac is connected to the base station wirelessly and has the firewall set to 'Set access for specific services and apps'.
    I figured if the Airport Extreme has the WPA2 password set (and no one else knows the password) that no one would be able to gain access to the printer that is wired to it, or the iMac that's wirelessly connected.
    What am I missing? How did this happen? and what can I do to ensure my network isn't visible or vulnerable to my neighbors or others with bad intent?

    are there settings in the airport utility that you can adjust to make it unshareable from the router?
    The "bonjourness" of the access to your printer suggests that your firewall is probably doing its job.
    If your DSL connection is connected to the WAN port on the AE then the folks on the DSL side of your set up should only be able to see things on your LAN that you've set for 'access from the internet'. e.g. allow access to my printer/disk/... from the internet.
    For printers there's an airport utility setting 'share printers over ethernet WAN port' and 'advertise printers globally using bonjour'. How's that set?
