HT1996 My kodak 5250 printer is not recognised by my Macbook as a wireless printer

I cannot add my Kodak 5250 printer wirelessly to my MacBook - it does not come up in the 'add printer' menu.  I've done everything suggested in the Kodak support page about this - updated software and hardware, turned everything off, turned it on again, checked the printer is connected to the network - so what next?  It works fine using a USB cable.

And as per usual, after trying everything (it's been two weeks now of trying different things) and then posting online for support, I try again one more time and it magically works again.
I downloaded the HP printer troubleshooting thing again (the third time) ran the wizard again and found the printer (the second time), downloaded the drivers rather than using the disc (for the second time, the first time the installation failed right a t the end) and intsead of adding the IP for the printer at "Printer Network COnnect" step,  I looked up the username for the device on my router (HPDDxxxx) and entered that instead.
EDIT: 11/2/13
Tried to print something today - once again the computer cannot connect to the printer. Printer is still connected. No settings had changed since I got it working.
Why is this happening! I need to print things! Very close to giving up. However I doubt I will get a refund from HarveyNorman, because when they test it out it will connect, and that's enough for them to say 'no refund'. Ugh.

  • Can my iPad 4 be connected to my Kodak 5250 printer?

    Can my iPad 4 be linked to my Kodak 5250 printer and if so can you assist in helping me to link the two.

    You have a few options
    First look on Kodak's site. They have partnered with google docs to offer some options, such as being able to send the document to a computer hardwired to the printer. And I think some models support you sending the document directly to them, but I'm not sure on that part (it required a google docs account and since I didn't want another online account I didn't dig too deeply into it.
    Also you can look into third party apps. I have print n share and it works just fine with my 7250. There is also printopia and print central and i'm sure there are others.

  • WD 1TB not recognised on 13" macbook pro retina (late 2013) even though it is exFAT file structure. The same drive is recognised on iMac and an old Dell laptop. I also have a seagate 2TB external hard drive (powered) that is recognised by my macbook pro.

    I just bought a late 2013 macbook pro retina 13" a few days ago. I am trying to transfer all my music from my old Dell laptop. I formatted by 1TB Western Digital MyPassport to exFAT to allow read and write on both operating systems. The 1TB WD My Passport is recognised by both my Dell and iMac but not my new macbook pro retina 13 (late 2013).  My 1TB WD My Passport is USB 3.0 with USB 2.0 backward compatability. I also just bought a 2TB Seagate Desktop Backup Plus (which is powered) for backing up and extra file storage, THIS WORKS! I don't understand how this works on my macbook pro but my 1TB western digital my passport doesn't. PLEASE HELP!! I have done full formats as well (not quick ones) which take nearly 8 hours. PLEASE HELP

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

  • My 4th Gen iPod touch is not recognised by my MacBook Pro but is by iTunes, so I cannot sync.

    I have a new MacBook Pro Mavericks so i uploaded my iTunes library from my time machine back up, cleaned it up and added a few new albums. I now wish to update my iPod with these changes but when I plug it in iTunes recognises the iPod but the Desktop doesn't!
    When I go to sync the iPod on iTunes it goes through 3 stages: 1. Waiting to sync, 2. Preparing to Sync, 3. Awaiting changes to be applied, then it stops and nothing happens.
    Also, when I look into the details on my iPod under Wifi Sync, it says "Sync will resume when (name's computer) is available. This is quoting my previous Macbook which died on me hence the purchase of a new one.
    How can I change the settings on my iPod to my new laptop name, and how can I make my new laptop recognise my iPod for the sync to work?
    Many thanks if anyone can help.

    Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?

    When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.

  • How can I print from my ipad2 to a Kodak 5250 ESP printer?

    How can I print from my iPad 2 to a Kodak 5250 printer?

    You cannot.
    The USB port on the AirPort Express allow sharing a printer with Windows and Mac OS X, not with iOS:
    "Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7":
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/#wireless-printing
    "AirPrint-enabled printers  connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported":
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    The HP ePrint app also does not provide such functionality:
    Can I print from the HP ePrint mobile app using USB or Bluetooth?
    No. You can only print directly to supported HP printers on a local wireless network.

  • Kodak 5250 unexpected error

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded from an imac G5 to an intel Imac running Snow Leopard. Also recently purchased a Kodak 5250 printer which worked perfectly with Tiger and was a simple set up.
    I used a firewire to sync old and new together. Everything else appears perfect except for the printer.
    It will print a test page using the wifi set up and with usb connected but when photographs or documents are requested the message "Printer is not responding. Make sure the printer is turned on a properly connected to your computer. (200-100003)
    I have checked firewall is deactivated and the printer confirms that it is connected to the network and wakes up with the mac.
    Kodak support were no help suggesting checking firmware, software and trying reinstallation.
    Please help!

  • BT Home Hub 5 not recognising print server

    Decided to approach the forum as I have run out of ideas for fixing this problem.
    I originally had a BT Home Hub 3 which worked fine with my HP Designjet 500ps plus using using a wireless HP Jetdirect EW2400 print server. I then upgraded to BT Infinity using a BT Home Hub 5 that's when my problems started.
    The hub does not recognise the print server in wireless mode so the following is what I tried to no avail:
    1. The printer setup was updated for the new hub online (192.168.1.75) for new SSID.
    2. Reset hub.
    3. Print server confirmed transmitting.
    BT Home Hub Manager
    4. Re-configured for Ch 11 and 12, preferred Designjet channel.
    5. Changed 2.4ghz & 5ghz to different SSID names.
    6. Unsync 2.4ghz & 5ghz.
    7. Disabled 5ghz.
    8. Tried Port Forwarding to allow access.
    9. AVG Anti-Virus elminated from possible problem.
    10. Ping confirmed 192.168.1.75 inaccessable.
    The good point, I can plot using network cable but trailing it through the house to the large plotter is not desireable!
    There must be someone else out there with the same plotter and problem so if someone could help it would much
    appreciated.

    Welcome and thanks for posting. Sorry you're having problems. Have you had a a look at How to set up a wireless connection?

  • Problem with my printer "sorry not recognised"

    Dispite posting the problem i had after MUCH hard work and searching for how to do this, i never got a reply (i thought this was a support forum), i hate to say it but support from HP has seriously gone down hill, i have a problem with my printer which is in warrenty can i send and email NOOOOOOO cos i have to put S/N and product number i put them in but i get "sorry not recognised" How the hell are you meant to get any support when they make 99% impossible to to post and email them  i am sorry HP but your support is a shambles, your heads should be hung in shame.

    Same problem and the same printer, Yosemite not recognize the printer (which I think is incredible, Windows was better in these areas to get a new OS).
    Some advice from those who have been mentioned here and do not solve the problem?
    If I had known I stay with Snow Leopard, worked best on Imac mid-2010.
    Very unhappy with Apple, had understood that they were more serious and respectful to customers.

  • Printer profiles not recognised in Photoshop CS6 print dialogue

    Note that the Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat print dialogues see all my (custom) printer profiles.
    Even Photoshop sees them in the Apply Profile and Convert to Profile dialogues: just not when trying to print.
    Is this a known problem?

    Thanks, Jeff. This issue goes far beyond Adobe. I'm trying to resolve colorspace problems that get even more confusing when there are multiple web pages or other documents at multiple websites, including software companies and camera companies that have conflicting information for the same thing. I don't want to add something else into the mix that may make things worse. Unless the user can have the settings that they know worked on their device to rely on as a point of reference to make controlled changes to accommodate a software change, it's like taking two handfulls of M&Ms to represent various colorspaces in three places in a program and using trial and error to figure out which two or three colors to use and in which order. I think of this as informative dialog and not venting.
    Update: After burning through another color ink cartridge and 20 more sheets of Kodak glossy photo paper, I managed to come up with a combination of profiles and colorspaces that are acceptable with the Kodak ESP9 printer in PS CS6. While Adobe RGB should work from the Nikon D7000 JPEG for a larger color gamut, with the Kodak printer, the colors were dull. Went back to sRGB in the camera and sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the working RGB profile. In this printer, color management cannot be disabled in the printer itself, so I selected Adobe RGB. In the PS Print Settings Color Management, PS Manages Colors,  and the Printer Profile is Beta RGB (Adobe RGB is not an available choice). After increasing the photo brightness to about +20, the contrast slightly, and increasing the shadows setting to bring out the shadowed areas somewhat, the printed photo is a close match to the on-screen image on the calibrated LED monitor. When I tried CIE RGB, the colors were more saturated but had too much blue. Maybe this will help others.
