HP PSC 2510 on BEFW11S4: assigning / reserving an IP address

I use an HP PSC 2510 printer / scanner copier on my home network, with a wired connection to my BEFW11S4 ver. 2 (firmware 1.45.10). About two months ago, I started experiencing intermittent connectivity problems (for which I asked assistance in a separate post). I also reconfigured my printer around that time, to connect via IP address (192.168.1.100) rather than host name (NPID11408), so I thought I'd mention that here.
The problem I initially intended to write about is that whenever I reset the router, I turn off all the other computers (or at least their connections), and reset the printer before turning the router back on again, so that the printer always comes up with the first assigned IP address (192.168.1.100). Is there a way to "reserve" this local IP address so that it always (and only) gets assigned to the printer? Since someone currently needs to reset the router on a nearly weekly basis, the extra work of turning everything else off and on again is a real hassle.
I say "initially" above, because in writing this, I am wondering whether my reconfiguration of the printer is a factor in the intermittent connectivity problems with the BEFW11S4 I wrote about a little while ago. In case they are related, and anyone else reading this has any insights, here's a listing of the HP Network Configuration page:
Network Connection Type: Wired
URL: http://192.168.1.100
Hardware Address: 00306ED11408
Firmware Version: B.25.38-RL6206xNS
Host Name: NPID11408
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Config Source: DHCP
DNS Server: [omitted]
mDNS: psc 2500 series (00306ED114008)
Admin Password: [omitted]
Link Config: 100TX-Full
On Windows XP (for my Dell, Toshiba and Sony computers), the printer port is configured to use the IP address. When I first got the printer, and installed the software on the Dell and Sony, I was able to use the Host Name, but for some reason, I couldn't get the Toshiba to see the printer via the hostname, but all computers could see the printer via the IP address. My Mac can also see the printer via the IP address.
I would welcome any suggestions (or questions) from anyone who can help me configure the router to assign 192.168.1.100 to the printer (or at least reserve it for the printer). Thanks!
Joe.

This will have each device on your network operating from a fixed IP address corresponding to the one the DHCP server had assigned. Now that address will not change. Note, however, that if a device is removed from the network and some new device is connected to which the DHCP server assigns the same address, then you cannot reconnect the other device until the new one is removed or you can end up with two devices trying to use the same IP address which will generate a system error.
I did manually assign specific and unique IP addresses to each computer. Everything worked fine. However, once I had the computers turned on in a different sequence and there was an IP conflict. I am not sure why? I had to manually change the IP address. Is the router's DHCP server trying to assign IP addresses to the computers?
I notice now that in my router's control panel, there are no IP addresses in the "LAN > DHCP Client List"— No leases. Before I manually assigned addresses, there was a list of IP addresses. Would it not make sense for the DHCP Client List to still show what IP address are currently in use?

Configuring the HP PSC 2510 on a new network

I'm posting at the end of a long weekend setting up my psc 2510 on a new wireless network. I'm pretty much done, and I'm posting to share what I've learned with others in the hope of saving them trouble. I'm beyond my warranty period, so my advice is based on a few hints from phone tech support and a lot of work by trial and error.
I have four machines total, two of them running OS X 10.4, the others running 10.3.9.
1. Start by hooking the printer up to a wired (ethernet) network. Print out a network config page (setup, 6, 1) when the printer shows its blue "networked" light. Dial the printer's URL into your web browser and enter the new network's info into the printer's embedded web server. If you get everything right, when you turn off the printer, disconnect the ethernet cable, and turn on the printer, you'll get that blue "networked" light after a minute or so.
If you don't see the light, print out another config page and check the "Wireless Status": "Scanning" means that the printer's having trouble connecting to the network. Your best bet is to temporarily turn off all wireless encryption/security and reconfigure the printer's connection. Once you have a connection, then try adding various sorts of security/encryption. In my experience, the printer doesn't do well if the SSID of the network isn't being broadcast or with a list of acceptable MAC addresses. In my old network I managed to get the printer running with WPA security, but this time I had to settle for WEP 128 bit security.
The Wireless Status will read "Disabled" if the printer has a USB cable or Ethernet cable attached. This means you need to unplug all cables (and possibly turn the printer off and on) to enable the wireless card. If the Wireless Status is "Disabled" even though you have no cables attached, you have probably reset the printer to factory defaults (see #2 below).
Things to watch for: is the default gateway of the printer the same as that of your new network? I had to change my new network's gateway to "192.168.1.1 addressing" from "10.0.1.1 addressing" because the printer was expecting "192 etc." after being hooked up to a Linksys router for several years.
Also, you may find you need to give the printer a self-assigned (manual) IP address, if other computers, once linked to the printer, lose printing and/or scanning capabilities a few days or weeks later. This can be set in the printer's web access server, but make sure to assign the printer an IP address that's compatible with the range of IPs that your router's is leasing to the network. I'm a novice at this network stuff, so sorry if I'm being vauge on this point.
2. It's possible I could have saved myself a lot of trouble setting up the printer for the network if I had reset the printer's network settings to factory defaults right at the start. But if you decide to follow HP's instructions and reset network settings to factory defaults, BEWARE: the printer's embedded web server can't for some reason configure the printer to re-enable wireless networking. And the latest download of the hp all-in-one installer doesn't contain the network config utility found on the original HP installation CD. (On this old CD, the config utility isn't part of the install package, but it is invoked automatically during the installation process.)
SOLUTION: Run the PSC 2500 Series installer found on the HP CD, preferably from a Mac running an system older than Tiger. It might also be possible to avoid running the installer and just run the config utility.
From this point on, I'll assume you've managed to get the printer on your network. Here's how to get all your computers configured to use the psc's printer and scanner functions.
HP tech support advised me to download the latest installer/print driver and use that to install and configure the psc 2150. This is good advice, insofar as the old HP Director software has a memory leak and the old HP Scan was prone to crashing whenever the 2510 went into Energy Saving mode. But if your mac isn't running OX X 10.4 (Tiger), you'll find that your system doesn't seem to recognize the new print drivers installed with by the download. This is especially a problem if you follow HP tech support's advice and delete a bunch of files prior to upgrading from the old installer to the new one, as (I suspect) it was at this point that I deleted working printer drivers from my Macs running Mac OS 10.3.9.
So if you're running 10.3.9 or earlier, I advise you not to delete any files and to configure your computer for the print and scanner functions in the opposite order that HP advises.
Most important: through trial and error I discovered that the HP Setup application isn't able to configure the printer if more than one user is logged in (Fast User Switching!). (This is a particularly tricky error to diagnose as the only symptom is that the setup app keeps claiming that it "can't find device" even though in the stage just prior it had successfully detected it!) Log out all other users, then proceed with the following steps:
1. Go to Print Center (called Print Setup Utility in Tiger), delete your old psc printer (if any) and click "add printer". The psc should show up in HP IP printing or under Rendezvous (called Bonjour in Tiger), and when you click on it, the Add Printer utilty should automatically find the "HP All-in-one" printer driver. If something's gone wrong, though, you may get the message "Print Driver not installed". That's what happened to me after I deleted files (see above).
SOLUTION: Run the PSC 2500 Series installer found on your original HP CD. When it finishes, it will start the HP setup assistant, in the course of which you'll be directed to go to the Print Center and add your printer. Do so.
2. Once you've added the printer successfully, run the latest HP installer, a download from the HP website. You should be able to skip the step where it asks you to add the printer, as you did this in step one.
3. Finally, since you didn't delete any files earlier, be sure to remove HP Director from your dock and from your Startup items (Login items in Tiger) by opening Mac System Prefs - Accounts - Startup/Login Items. HP Director has a memory leak. And it is superceded by the newer HP Device Manager when you download and run the latest HP installer. You should find the new HP Device Manager in your dock after step 2 (above).

Hello dgt228, welcome.
I am not sure why you are choosing EAP. If you have set your router to use WPA, you should just set your printer to enable WPA. Is your wireless light illuminated on the front of your printer? Run a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to self-test the radio. If you can connect this printer with Ethernet to your router its connection will be more secure and more reliable.

HP PSC 2510 all-in-one network setup problems

Driver for HP psc 2510 and OSX 10.4.10?

Apple sent an upgrade for my OS 10.4, recommending download, so I did. Subsequently, when I tried to print something from e-mail, a message appeared to the effect that the computer could not recognize the driver. My 2510 HP all in one came up on an add printer box, but command was rejected for driver issue.
After trying everything else, generally cleaned up corrupted files, got everything else humming, and called HP tech support. Seems that my wonderful all in one printer is obsolete and the company has practically disowned it--no updates, parts, advice for this item. When Apple updated the OS 10.4.10, there was no longer interface with HP PSC2510.

Welcome to the discussions forum MrMom.
I think your Mac ought to be running OS X 10.4.11, so check Software Update again. If you're not successful, try this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901 and select the *Combo Update* for your iMac (PPC or Intel, as appropriate).
HP's software for the PSC 2510 is located here: Select software and drivers.
Click on the link "Software for HP PSC 2500 Series - Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4 (Universal)". I believe that's what you'll need.
According to HP and my own personal experience, the print drivers for this printer are already built into OS X. You only need the above software to use the scanner and fax features. I have a reference to that effect at home but I'm not there right now, so if you don't meet with success let me know and I'll research this further.
Seems that my wonderful all in one printer is obsolete and the company has practically disowned it--no updates, parts, advice for this item.
HP is not the company it used to be. Their interest in, and support for OS X is extremely limited. As such HP has tied themselves to a dying market. I no longer recommend them.

HP PSC 2510 duplex printing problem

Hi,
I have just installed a new Archlinux computer and configured my HP PSC 2510. However I can't print in duplex mode.
I have installed cups and hplip and configured with the correct driver the printer (the one proposed by cups ...2510...)
I have entered the config correctly, checking duplex installed option in options, and fixed A4 autoduplex as default paper and long edge for duplex mode.
When I open an openoffice document, and I want to print it, if I check the properties, everything is ok except duplex option that is fixed on 'Off'.
I then edit it and fix 'long edge'. I accept and recheck if option is fixed right, but 'off' is shown again!
Even if I try to print, duplex is not used anyway.
I have googled the problem and haven't found nothing so far.
Has someone any idea how to solve the problem?
best,

If I change that to "Long-Edge", then "OK", and then select "Properties" again, "Duplex" shows "Off" again.

Does this workaround work for you?

After upgrading to mavericks how can I connect my HP PSC 2510 photosmart all-in-one printer to my mac?

After I upgraded my macbook air to mavericks, my HP PSC 2510 photosmart all-in-one printer doesn't connect to my macbook air. When I try to launch the all-in-one installer from the HP CD that came with the printer, I get a message saying it cannot open because powerPC is not supported. The HP site has not been helpful in resolving this issue. My understanding is I first must connect the printer to the wireless system (I use airport extreme) before using airplay for printer software upgrade.

Your suggestion is helpful, but after some digging on the HP site I found a detailed solution to my problem. The link is: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01749025&tmp_task=setupCate gory&cc=us&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&product=303770

HP PSC 2510 "All in One" prints only

When I installed 10.4, the other features of the all in one stopped working. For months I have been struggling with HP and have been told several times that new sortware was on the way. I recently installed their Image Zone software and it looks hopefull; however it also will not communicate with the device. So as of now, I have an All in One that is a One in One - has anyone had any luck getting their all in one device to do anything other than print?

Hi everyone!
I have just upgraded my iMac to Tiger (and subsequently 10.4.3)... and suddenly I couldn't do anything with my psc 2510.
I tried downloading the latest drivers and software from hp, and installed it all, but it still didn't work, and when the "HP Printer Setup Utility" got to its last stage, it would beachball on me. That meant it was left with unfinished business, and returned to haunt me every time I rebooted my mac. Nightmare. And my psc still didn't work. (Ironically, I used the same software in the end - see below - so it must have been the order I did things that mattered)
Then I found this thread and I saw light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks!
Basically, I...
• deleted all of the files described in this hp document - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00441859&produc t=303770&dlc=en⟨=en
• installed the "Printing Only" psc installer from hp - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&pro duct=303770&lang=en&cc=uk&softwareitem=mp-35188-1
• set up my psc using Tiger's "Printer Setup Utility", by clicking "Add" in the toolbar, then selecting my psc in the window that appears (ah the wonders of Bonjour!). Because I'd just intalled the "Printing Only" driver, it used that, which is fine. Then I clicked "Add" and my psc was set up for printing
But I wanted more than printing! As do you, Chowser. So, then I...
• downloaded the hp "All In One Installer" from here - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&pro duct=303770&lang=en&cc=uk&softwareitem=mp-32709-1
• ran the installer. Now, I know you probably won't have much faith in this working, but trust me, it does. Or it did for me anyway.
• once the new drivers and "Image Zone" software were installed, the HP Printer Setup Utility opened up.
• so, I went through the steps for setting up my printer. I got to the last step, and normally when I tried this before, the utility would crash after I clicked the "Next" button. BUT, for some reason, it all worked. My printer was fully set up! And, better still, because the utility has done its work, it doesn't start up every time I reboot.
So, now my psc works again. Hoorah! I just hope that it'll work for you guys too. Just give it a try - following my steps exactly... if it worked for me, then it should work for you too, right?
So give it a try, and I wish you all the very best of luck in getting it to work... Come back and tell us if you solve it!
Happy New Year!

I have just purchased a new ink cartridge for my PSC 2510, and was advised to get the 61XL (I usually use the 56) which lists on the side that it is compatible with the 2510. However I have just tried to intall it but there is no way that I can get it to fit as the two tabs sticking up at the front go all the way to the sides of the cartridge as opposed to having a gap on each side on the old one, and this stops it from going all the way in, so I can close the tab over it... Can somebody tell me how this is supposed to fit or have I just wasted $50 for nothing???

Hi,
Sorry you bought a wrong cartridge, it is not compatible with your printer PSC 2510 , it is compatible with HP Deskjet 2510 All-in-One Printer. Please check the following list:

PSC and Deskjet are two different lines of printers.

Psc 2510 photosmart

I just hooked up the psc 2510 printer to a Mac X (version 10.9.4) and although the Mac indicates the document is being downloaded to the printer, the download indicator shows the process as ongoing and it doesn't appear to complete the download process. The printer is totally unresponsive.

Hello oiwin and welcome to the HP forums!
I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues getting your PSC 2510 to print with your 10.9 Mac, but I will certainly do my best to lend a helping hand and hopefully get things working for you
I will suggest that you start with (don't re-add the printer just yet) and then perform a verify/repair of disk permissions. When that completes, please restart your Mac and make sure to download and install this HP Printer Drivers v.2.16.1 for OS X from Apple's website. Once that is done, please proceed to re-add the printer and try printing again.
Hope that does the trick, let me know

Psc 2510 and mac os 10.6

I am using a MacBook Pro running MAC OS 10.6 and an HP PSC 2510 All-In-One. Whenever I send a job to the pringer i get an error message: "Error/System/Library/pr..." and at the top of the dialog box is :" PSC 2500 series @0036ed1c1e4 (Fax) (1job)" Which makes me suspect the printer dialog box is calling up the fax instead of the printer. When i try to install printer drivers HP says they are already installed in Snow Leopard.
Any help so I can print would be appreciated.

Hi.
By checking the product page, the Driver for Mac OS 10.6 is included within the system,
The Printer installation package you are using is not intended for Snow Leopard, as you may see in the list below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=30377...
Please make sure to unplug the device and remove any installed software for that printer by using the HP uninstaller located under Applications / Hewllet-Packard.
Reboot your Mac, plug the USB cable and add the printer through the System Preferences\Print& Fax.
Make sure to check for any HP update after adding the printer as following:
Apple > Check For Software Update. Make sure to install any available HP Update.
Please let me know if the issue has been resolved or not

I want to reserve a static IP address on my Airport extreme. What is the difference between reserving by MAC Address and DHCP Client ID?

I want to understand the differences in the way you can reserve a static address for a device on the network. I had previously set the device itself to an address and then reserved it with DHCP Client ID, which I thought was just the devices static addresss. I'm not sure if this was in fact correct or just happend to work. I know what a MAC address is, but I'm not really sure what the DHCP Client ID is. So it would be great if someone could clarify it, and the difference between reserving address by MAC Address or DHCP Client ID.

A MAC address is a unique identification consisting of letters and numbers in a form that looks like this:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Every network device has a MAC address, which can be found on a label on the bottom or back of the device. Apple calls this the Ethernet ID.
A DHCP Client ID is an optional name that you can assign to a device. For example, on your Mac....
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on Ethernet
Click Advanced at the lower right
You may be able to edit the DHCP Client ID here....for example.....you could enter MJ500's MacBook in the space provided. That would be the Client ID of your Mac.

How do I open ports on my airport extreme and assign a fixed IP Address for a device connected to my network?

I recently had a security system installed in my house. One of the features is an EPAD which enables me to have a virtual keypad on my iphone, and computer to operate the alarm system. The technician was not familiar with Mac's and Airports. How do I open port 80 to 80 in my airport and assign a fixed IP address for the EPAD? Apparently this is what is needed to make this work.

There are three ranges of "strictly local" IP addresses reserved for local Network use:
192.168.xxx.yyy
172.16.xxx.yyy
10.xxx.yyy.zzz
What your Router does for you is to act as your agent on the Internet.Your requests are packaged up and forwarded on your behalf, and only when a response is expected is the response returned to your local IP address.
Directing Network Traffic to a Specific Computer on Your
Network (Port Mapping)
AirPort Extreme uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to share a single IP address with the computers that join the AirPort Extreme network. To provide Internet access to several computers with one IP address, NAT assigns private IP addresses to each computer on the AirPort Extreme network, and then matches these addresses with port numbers. The wireless device creates a port-to-private IP address table entry when a computer on your AirPort (private) network sends a request for information to the Internet.
If you’re using a web, AppleShare, or FTP server on your AirPort Extreme network, other computers initiate communication with your server. Because the Apple wireless device has no table entries for these requests, it has no way of directing the information to the appropriate computer on your AirPort network.
To ensure that requests are properly routed to your web, AppleShare, or FTP server, you need to establish a permanent IP address for your server and provide inbound port mapping information to your Apple wireless device.
To set up inbound port mapping:
1) Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Base Station > Manual Setup, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.
2) Click the Advanced button, and then click Port Mapping.
3) Click the Add button and choose a service, such as Personal File Sharing, from the Service pop-up menu.

How do I assign a static IP address?

I bought mSecure from mSeven Software for my iPhone. Had no problem assigning a static IP address to my old PC laptop, but now I've happily switched to Macbook Pro and I can't figure out how to get it done. Need this static IP address to sync my iPhone data to the Macbook Pro. Found something that said I needed to go to "server admin" but I can't figure that out either. I do see how to find my IP address (in system preferences), but I'm not sure how to assign a static address. I'm not the most computer literate person in the world, but I'm fairly teachable - can somebody walk me through this step by step (including what buttons to push to get where you guide me)? Much obliged.

Oh great, forum notifications have grown funky again.
As I understand your question, each client (whether it's a router or not) can be configured to receive its IP address via DHCP, or not. In the latter case you specify its IP address manually in the client. I can't think of a TCP/IP client that does not have this ability.
There is no way to use AirPort Utility to assign specified IP addresses to clients, though you can "reserve" a block of addresses that it will not assign via DHCP.
You can assign an IP address to a client using a directed IP packet, using Terminal (must be run as superuser):
arp -s <desired IP address> <client MAC address>
... but this does not create any entries in the AirPort's MAC address table. Is that what you want to do?

How to assign a private IP address to a public IP address

Hello.
At the beginning sorry for my poor English. My company uses a Cisco 881 router and I have the following problem to resolve. I need to assign an local IP address from my private network to an public IP address (this is the public IP address of the SMTP server). As a result, I want to do the following thing: I would like to use an local IP address in the SMTP server settings of the email client instead of an IP address of the service provider. Device, which I have to configure with SMTP server is connected via a VPN and I can't use a public IP address of email provider. Thank you for any respond.
