HT4356 I have a home network with a wireless hp photosmart 210 AirPrint enabled (I believe ). Got a present of an iPad last Xmas and haven't managed to print anything from it yet ... Got another this Xmas !!  HOW DO I PRINT????? Above article useless

FINALLY ! ....... Can't print to my hp photosmart b210 all of which are AirPrint enabled. Printer on network and working fine with windows. iPads don't see it... help !!! Before I smash the iPads with frustration !!

Hey Dave,
Great post with good information.
As you mentioned, the printer came back with a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx style IP address. This is normally produced when the device is not able to get a complete connection with the router, thus the router gives it a temporary internal IP address.
The normal suggestion when a printer stops maintaining a connection is to set a Static IP. This is done by using the manual IP feature you mentioned using. This locks the device to those network settings and even when the network is restarted the information is retained. This should be the fix to the issue.
Hope this helps.

    I changed the email on my Apple ID and now my password won't work and I can't get anything from iTunes or the App store.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes  & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if it then works.

    help! I recently upgraded my iphone to the latest IOS but my GPS seems to have a problem... I am unable to get directions from one point to another ... how do I solve this problem?

    If using the built-in Maps app, directions are not available everywhere. Read here:

    If that's your problem, download the Google Maps app.

  • I have a home office with 2 networked computers.....

    I have a home office with 2 networked computers (desktop and laptop).  I am tryong to open my business file ( a regular file but with the little arrow on the bottom left side )"the alias" and am getting this message: There was an error connecting to the server idisk.mac.com Check server name or IP address, and then try again.  If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator. So I click "ok" and FINDER comes up sayiong the alias can't be opened because the original item cannot be found....
    I have called for a technician to come out but they can't come until next week and I can't work. I have already tried powering down, which worked in the past to "reset" the server.
    Can anyone help?

    It sounds like the original of that file is stored on your iDisk, a service which Apple no longer provides. Go to this page, sign in and download all of the files that are still on there.
    Best of luck.

  • I HAVE A MAC NETWORK WITH A HP LASER-JET AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE.  I ALSO HAVE A WINDOWS BASED MACHINE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PRINT TO AS WELL.  HOW CAN I ACCOMPLISH THIS?

    I HAVE A MAC NETWORK WITH A HP1200 LASER-JET AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE.  THE PRINTER IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY WITH ONE OF MY MAC-MINI"S.  I NOW HAVE A WINDOWS BASED PC AND WOULD LIKE TO PRINT TO IT AS WELL.. HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    Make sure that you Printer Sharing enabled on the Mac Mini.   System Preferences > Sharing > Printer Sharing
    Do the same on the PC
    On the PC, try downloading and installing Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
    Run the application on the PC to see if it will discover your printer and install the printer.

  • How do I hook up a G3 iBook to my home network with only Windows machines?

    I'm completely ignorant of Apple technology but pretty good for a novice with Windows PC's. To help a family member with an iBook (Mac OS 10.3.9) back up a gazillion family photos (at least 3.2GB in the iPhoto Library), we want to connect his iBook to my home network with two Windows machines (one of which is connected via UBS to an external drive for backup). But before I just connect his iBook to an Ethernet port on my Westell modem+router, what should I know?
    I need to know all the basics and all the steps, in as detailed a manner as you can stand to tell me.
    And when it all looks good, what are the steps to copy the iPhoto Library to a designated spot on one of the Windows machines (or that external hard drive)?
    By the way, this is the iBook:
    Machine Model: iBook
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (2.3)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 800 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 640 MB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.6.4f1
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98)
    Kernel Version: Darwin 7.9.0
    Many thanks!

    Hello,
    When I got my first mac this ( http://macs.about.com/cs/tipstutorials/a/xposxsharing.htm ) article helped me enormously.
    It's very easy to write to the disc once you've set up the network.
    On the mac locate the iPhoto library (normally open finder and click on pictures).
    Open another finder window and locate the windows PC on your network, then mount the folder to which you will back up the iPhoto library.
    Drag the iPhoto library to this folder.
    Wait.
    Wait some more.
    When the copy is complete check the images can be accessed from the PC.
    Unmount the folder from the mac by dragging it to the trash.
    Congratulations.
    Beware though, if you're like me you'll find this apple thing adicitve!!!

  • How to hook up a G3 iBook to a home network with only Windows machines?

    Before I attach an iBook (Mac OS 10.3.9) to a home network with only Windows machines, what should I know? (I intend to connect the iBook to an Ethernet socket on my Westell modem+router.) My reason for doing this is to back up a million family photos in the iBook's iPhoto Library.
    This is the iBook:
    Machine Model: iBook (Dual USB)
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (2.3)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 800 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 640 MB

    Boot ROM Version: 4.6.4f1
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98)
    Kernel Version: Darwin 7.9.0
    Please give me as much detail as you can stand to write, because I know nothing about Apples. It's for my dear old Dad, who has no other way to back up priceless photos.
    For example, when things are working well and the iBook "sees" the Windows machines, how do I copy the iPhoto Library?
    Thanks!!

  • Simple Home networking with Mac OS X Server

    Hi all,
    Can anybody give me a quick guide to setting up a basic home network with the use of Mac OS X Server for central administration?
    I have 2 desktop macs, 1 mac laptop and 2 PC laptops and occasionally I have a number of friends bringing around their laptops.
    I would like to set up all the basic services so that guests and registered users can access share points and home folders . I would also like to be able to use the DHCP service for this and be able to use basic services like DNS and AFP.
    Does anybody know how to quickly set this up on a private home network?
    I am new to Mac OS X Server so be gentle
    Thanks.

    John Detroye works for Apple education in Colorado, USA. He has written what i consider the best practical guide to setting up a Server system for use in a School, which is essentially what you want to do. Although he wrote it initially for 10.3 Panther Server, almost all of it still applies.

  • HT3819 Is it possible to share a printer (attached to a Windows-7 PC) on my home network, with an iPad, iPhone or a Mac?

    Is it possible to share a printer (attached to a Windows-7 PC) on my home network, with an iPad, iPhone or a Mac?

    Possibly. You'd need to see if your printer has any programs you can put on that attached computer to allow it to be a print server.
    I'd start with your printer manufacturer first. See if they offer anything. for your model. If not, then you can look for any printer apps or programs.
