HP Printer Networking woes

I am running a Netgear router and recently installed a Netgear Print Server connected to a HP PSC 1210V All-in-One Printer. I installed the print server using the installation CD on an HP notebook. Once configured and unplugged from the HP the printer prints fine in a wireless configuration from the HP notebook. When I went to my G4 15" Powerbook running OS X Tiger I can't find the printer. I can finger the Print Server in Safari using the appropriate IP but when I go into the Print configuration on the Powerbook and click on more printers it can't find the printer with appletalk or with HP IP in either auto or manual modes. To make things even more frustrating when I plug the printer directly into the Powerbook it works perfectly.
Any ideas on what is going on here?
Thnx,
Chad

The driver provided by HP doesn't work for network printing, because it bypasses the CUPS system. The only comm protocol you get is what was written into the driver - USB. Install the hpijs and ESP ghostscript driver set from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
Second issue - the windows setup software enters the server queue name during setup, but we don't have that software on OS X. You need to find the queue name in the print server docs, then enter it in OS X Printer Setup.

  • Facing problem in Printing network shop papers.

    Hi
    Iam facing a problem in printing Network shop papers
    T-code CN22/CN23
    after entering in to network in CN22/CN23 select menu path as below
    path : Network - Print - Shop papers
    we have many network in a project , there we are printing shop papers for all network as shown in path.
    After taking print shop papers the system status PRT(print) is updated in one network and in all remaining network PPRT(part print) is updated , but we are unable to take print shoppapers of the network which is having PRT status.
    But the question here is how the PRT staus is updated in only one network since we are taken print of other network also.
    can we change this system status , or is there any other way to tek print of that particular network having status PRT.
    expect your early help on this as this critical issue.
    thanks in advance .

  • Switching from internet network to printer network to print

    I have a Macbook Pro that I use and also a new Macbook that my grandparents use. We share an HP printer. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust snow leopard so that when i decide to print i don't have to go to the airport menu and change to my printer network and then when i am ready to continue browsing the internet i have to switch back to my internet network which is my dsl box which is wireless to be able to browse the internet. I hope i have explained this clear enough but if not write me back and i will try and explain it better this is my first time on here. Any help would be much appreciated
    ElijahBlue

    You need to connect the printer to the dsl modem/router if possible.
    This way both of you can use the printer.
    There only needs to be one network for all devices.

  • Where do i find my hp Officejet 4500 G510n-z printer network name (ssid) ?

    How do I make my printer work?  It stopped responding 2 weeks ago and will not print from the print command.  It will print a wireless test report, so it is capable.  Please help...

    Your printer network name (ssid), is the name of YOUR network.
    When you print out the wireless test report, does it show connected, or gives IP address?
    Here is a link below that may help you resolve this issue.

  • Wireless printer network

    My cell phone and tablet sometimes lock onto the wireless printer network instead of the Internet wireless network in my home. This occurs randomly and it has nothing to do with printing. I have to manually chose the correct network. Any suggestions to configure the printer so the phone doesn't pick that nerwork automatically? The phone is a LG G3 from Verizon.

    You need to disable Wireless Direct in the printer.

  • HP CP4005n printer won't print - network connectivity seems to be lost - Desparate!

    Greetings (and help me please, I'm at the end of my rope :-))
    Recently, I discovered my HP CP4005n would no longer print - documents would just remain
    queued.
    To make a long story short, I think the networking portion of this printer has died, but I need help
    confirming this, and if so, how can I repair it.  Here is what I have tried:
    1) First, the status lights on the printer where the ethernet connects lights up when I plug the ethernet cable in, so I know the printer is at least electrically connected to my network.
    2) No matter what I try, I cannot successfully "ping" the printer's ip address.  I have confirmed the
    IP address of the printer by using the printer's "print configuration" menu item - which lists the IP
    address, so I know I am using the correct IP address.
    3) When I try using the "HP Network Diagnostic Utility", the utility successfully detects another HP
    printer on my network, but does not detect the CP4005n.
    4) To ensure the network itself was not problematic, I obtained a small hub, and connected only the
    printer and a laptop to it, rebooted everything, and tried to ping the printer - still get no response.
    5) The printer otherwise seems to work well - I can print the internal test pages/calibration pages,
    etc., from the menu on the printer's front panel, but cannot get it to print from any PC on my
    network.
    6) I tried disabling the virus scan/security tool on one of the PCs (Norton) to make sure that wasn't
    the problem, but it made no difference.  Previously, the printer was working fine with this software,
    so I don't think it is the cause.
    7) My network has a mix of Windows XP and Vista PCs - although I just got a new HP 1160t which is
    running Windows 7.
    Any clues as to what my next steps should be?  This is a fairly new printer and it was fairly expensive
    for a home printer, so buying a new printer is not an option (yet) unless I can prove that the
    printer is somehow damaged as to make repair too costly.  In general, the printer itself works
    great, and print quality is excellent, it just appears connectivity is the problem.
    What should I do next?

  • HP LaserJet Printer Network Replacement for AppleTalk

    Have found the fix for making the HP LaserJet 2100 TN work on an Ethernet network with Snow Leopard OS. The key was finding the address of the LaserJet on the network. This was done by holding down the two buttons on the top of the printer simultaneously for five seconds. This causes a ‘JetDirect Configuration Page” to print. On that is the IP Address of the printer.
    With that information, open the ‘Print and Fax” page of the Systems Preferences. Under the list of printers click the ‘+’ sign. This open a dialogue box. Click the ‘IP’ icon at the top. Under Protocol, chose HP Jetdirect – Socket. In the Address space enter the IP Address of the printer. In the Name space enter ‘HP LaserJet 2100 Series’. You may have to select the print driver from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page, or it might self select. Then click ‘Add’.
    Should do it.
    This is all caused by Apple not including AppleTalk support in Snow Leopard. The process could work for other printers.

    Just keep in mind that if there is not a permanent address assigned to the printer, if the network resets itself for whatever reason, there may be a new address assigned to it, and you will have to go through this process again. You should be able to configure a permanent address for the printer to avoid that problem. Check with the documents for the printer or the print server. You can also reserve addresses through your router so that address will not be assigned to another device.

  • Wireless Network Printing; "Network is Busy", Cannot ping printer from my Macbook Pro

    I have a MBP (Mac OSX 10.6.8, Intel i7) connected wirelessly to a Actiontec Q1000 wireless router.  The wireless router has a printer connected via a LAN ethernet cable.  I am able to log in to the router (192.168.0.1) and see the printer (192.168.0.8), and from the router's Utilities I can ping the printer using the router's ping tool.  I am unable to ping the printer from my MBP.  I am unable to log into the printer's IP address by typing in 192.168.0.8 in my browser window.
    I also have a Windows laptop connected to the same wireless network.  From the router, I can see the Window's laptop (192.168.0.10) and the Windows laptop can ping the printer (again, 192.168.0.8).  Additionally, from the Windows laptop I can log into the printer's IP address by typing in 192.168.0.8 in my browser window.
    The printer is a Dell 1700n and I am using the "Generic Postscript Printer Driver".  I am able to delete the printer, and then add it back in as a USB connected printer and print fine.  I then delete the printer and add it back in as a network printer (192.168.0.8) and am then unable to print.  I am getting an error that says "Network is busy, will retry in ___ seconds".  I then get a error message that says the "Printer is busy".
    Using the MBP's "Network Utility's" ping tab, I am able to ping the router (192.168.0.1), the other Windows laptop (192.168.0.10), my Roku (192.168.0.7), etc.  I am unable to ping the printer (192.168.0.8).
    From my Window's CMD prompt, I am able to ping the router (192.168.0.1), my MBP (192.168.0.5), my Roku (192.168.0.7) and the printer (192.168.0.8).  I am also able to print wirelessly from my Window's laptop (192.168.0.10).
    I have looked for a CUPS printer driver for my Dell 1700n printer, but there is only a CUPS printer driver for the Dell 1710n printer (which is different).
    I have also googled around and found that the Dell 1700n is an old Lexmark E322 printer, so I installed the CUPS Lexmark E322 printer driver.  I then try to print wirelessly from my MBP and nothing.
    This is clearly a network MBP issue, and I have searched the forums but have been unable to track down a solution.  I would appreciate anyone's help to enable me to:
    1.  Be able to ping my printer (192.168.0.8),
    2.  Be able to log in to my printer via a web browser (http://192.168.0.8), and
    3.  Be able to print wirelessly to the printer from my MBP.
    Does anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance,
    MC

    So I spent almost 3 hours on a share session with Lexmark, who I must say I was incredibly impressed with their patience.  Long story short, my wife and I have the exact same MBPs.  Her MBP was printing fine to the same printer.  The tech and I verified that all of our network settings were identical.  At the end of the day, the solution was power cycling the router.  Poof.  Magic.  No idea why the power cycle worked, but it worked and I now have a solution.  Let me know if anyone has any questions about all of the steps in between.

  • Airport Extreme b/g as dedicated print network?

    I have used an older AirPort Extreme b/g for some years now to print via USB with an ancient HP LaserJet 4ML printer. Thanks to iFelix's web site, I learned how to set up the USB printing using the HP Jet Direct-Socket setting in the Printer Setup Utility and the Airport Extreme's IP address. That worked very well.
    Now I've gone and ruined everything by purchasing a new wireless router, a Cisco WRT610N for its various capacities and speed. I intended to extend its network, but can't use WDS because the WRT and Airport Extreme cannot do that together (and the WRT doesn't do WDS out of the box anyway). Apparently I can't extend the Cisco network with the Airport Extreme.
    I searched on this and other forums and realized I could set up the Extreme to be a standalone print server (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12511872&#12511872). However, I can't configure the Extreme to "join a wireless network." My choices are only "create a network" or "participate in WDS." Creating a new network just for printing results in the error message from the print process: "The process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 2."
    My setup: OS 10.4.11. A MacBook with intel core duo. An old PowerPC that has always been able to print (G5, running 10.4.11). Airport Extreme running firmware 5.6 (I'm scared to update to 5.7.) Airport Utility 5.4.2.
    Thank you for your wise responses,
    Sarah

    Although as I indicated in my original post I was not able before to print from a separate wireless network, now I am. I set up the network while the Airport Extreme was connected by Ethernet to both the MacBook and the Cisco router. I had restarted the computer, also. This time when looking to add the HP printer using Printer Setup Utility, it showed up as a Bonjour printer when I selected "Default Browser" as the connecting method.
    I did not try to print with the Airport connected to the Cisco only, without setting up a separate network, partly because the option of "connect to a wireless network" never comes up.
    I can now print wirelessly again--thank you. Yes, I do have to switch to a different wireless network to do so, and it's sometimes hard to remember to swith back so I can connect to the internet....

  • Deskjet 3520e all in one printer network problems

    Hi All.
    I have a brain teaser for the technical types out there hoping someone can shed some light on a weird sort of problem.
    History: All has been fine with my g6 Pavillion latop 64bit W8 and 3520e all in one printer and working as always very well.
    Oct 16th 2014 My broadband service went down and after many communictions with ISP eventualy received (Nov 4th) and installed a new "super hub modem".
    OK so far, Managed to connect laptop via wireless router and connect to internet etc., however . . . I cannot get my printer to network as before, I can use it via USB port but if I try to network it, The Cyan ink cartridge reports as being broken or damaged even though 3/4 full and will not allow printing, but when connect via USB port the Cyan ink cartridge registers normal and will print as expected.
    Has anyone else come across this problem?
    If I go down the route of uninstalling and reinstallin the Printer software is there a set order in which to do so?
    In the list of programs these four are shown. .

    HP Deskjet 3520 series Help
    HP Deskjet 3520 series Product Improvement Study
    HP Deskjet 3520 series Setup Guide.
    I would like very much to get back to network printing if at all possible.
    The router IP address is 192.168.1.3
    The printer IP address is 192.168.0.1
    I have been led to believe that as the addresses are so close this shouldnt be the cause.
    I must add that in the past I have had occasional printer software problems which I was unable to resolve without help from the technical centre and I would prefer not to restart the installation if at all possible.
    Your comments would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Un1corn 
    What exactly happens when you try to convert from USB to Wireless and configure the printer to the Virgin Media Super Hub? Do you get an error message of some sort?
    Maybe there is a firewall on the Super Hub. Do you have the model number for this device? I can look up some information to see what could be casing the issue.
    In the meantime, running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:

  • Trouble with connecting Mac with printing Network of PCs

    Massive Frustrations. I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro with OS X to my existing PC Network. I matched up the workgroup name and the sharing folders seems to be working. The printers are listed and everything seems to be running, but when I tried printing to my HP Photosmart and my Epson Inkjet printer (both linked to my pc network), it is printing alright -BUT continously with blank pages and a lot of binary jibberish - I do not know what else to do to correct this...everything seems to be configured accordingly, but I'm not getting the correct pages when printing. Any suggestions or oppinions anyone????!?! It would help greatly.
    Thanks!

  • New Printer Network

    Hi. Where to begin...
    I just bought a new Brother HL-5340d printer and set it up with my G5 running 10.5.8, no problem. My wife has a wireless pc laptop running XP, and she wants to print as well, but I can't get the network to work. She shares an internet connection with me using a Motorola SBG900 Wireless Surfboard Gateway.
    I called Brother, but, of course, they say they don't provide support for networking printers.
    Here's what I've tried. First, my Mac can see the laptop's shared folders on the network, but the laptop can't see anything on my Mac. I have file sharing and printer sharing turned on. I see the message, "Windows users can access your computer at smb://xxx.xxx.x.xx" but I don't know what to do with this information. I've tried typing in those numbers in various Windows wizards, but have had no luck so far.
    http://lifehacker.com/247541/how-to-access-a-macs-files-on-your-pc
    I've also tried to create a shared workgroup with the laptop using Apple's network preferences. I followed these instructions. I tried several times, but again no luck. I get to page four step five, but the wizard fails to find my mac.
    http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/printersharexp.htm
    I apologize for rambling, but I'm really stumped, dispirited, and honestly I have no idea what I'm talking about.
    Thank you,
    PM

    Hi there.
    If you have the Brother connected via USB to the G5, then you should install Bonjour for Windows on the wife's laptop. This will help with finding the printer share. Of course, you need to ensure Printer Sharing is enabled in System Preferences > Sharing and that the Brother share is enabled.
    With regards to getting the laptop to see the shares on the Mac, one setting that can influence this success is the workgroup name. If you open the System Preferences > Network pane and select the Advanced tab for whatever connection the G5 is using on your network, the WINS tab will show the workgroup name set in the Mac. Usually this will be 'workgroup', which is usually what Windows will use, however the Home version of XP will have its workgroup name set as MSHOME. So, if you can change this workgroup name on either computer if they are different, then this can help with finding each other.
    With regards to the connection from a PC to the Mac, you can use the Explorer application (not IE Explorer). On the laptop, open My Computer and in the Address bar (you may need to enable this by selecting View > Toolbars > Address Bar) type \\ipaddress_ofMac , for example \\192.168.0.10. If you do have SMB sharing enabled, which by your post it did sound like you did, then the Public folder and any other folder you have shared should now appear.
    If connecting to the Mac from the PC now works, then Bonjour for Windows should find the shared printer.
    If the above doesn't work could you confirm the IP address and subnet mask of the PC and Mac.

  • IP Printing Network Host Busy Error

    I have a Dell color laser on our Novell LAN that I've always been able to print to from my PowerBook using the printer's IP address. Today I found a new PPD for that printer and installed it, now I can't print. I get this error:
    "Network host 'nameofhost' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds . . ."
    I can ping the printer and it's there. I can check the supply levels and it shows the correct levels. If I turn the printer off, I can no longer ping it or show the levels, so I know it's connecting correctly. I put the old PPD back in and I still get the same network busy error. I get the same error no matter which application I print from. Everything is set up the same as before, and it's setup the same as all the other printers I can print to. I can print to other printers on the network using the same method. I can print to this printer using my Windows PC and it works fine, so I know the printer/queue itself is not down.
    If I had any hair, I would pull it out.

    Greg:
    You gave me the hint that fixed it. I was setting up the new printer in SysPrefs using IPP protocol, but the printer was set up to accept LPD protocol. I changed it and now it works great. Thanks a bunch!!
