I followed all of HP's Apple AirPrint troubleshooting instructions. Printer still doesn't print.

Using an HP Photosmart Plus B210a printer, I attempted to print both photos and emails from my Apple iPhone 4 via WIFI interface.  My router is a Motorola SURFBoard SBG6580.  All connections have been tested and verified active.  The printer is shown on my iPhone as active, and messages following my directive to print indicate "contacting", "preparing", and "printing 1 of 2", etc.  Then nothing.  No print.  I followed the HP's troubleshooting instructions for "Apple AirPrint:  The Apple Mobile Device Shows a Job is Printing but the Printer Does Not Print", without success.  I am able to successfully print from my HP Pavilion Entertainment  PC with Windows 7 using the same WIFI interface without problems.
The Motorola router is a recent addition to my system.  HP's prompt following my unsuccessful resolution of this problem was to post a message to see if anyone else has dealt with this problem.  Thanks for your input.
This question was solved.

One additional step that you could try doing is to do a hard reset on the iPhone. Make sure if you have anything open that has not been saved you save those items first.
Press and hold the power and the home button together for 15 seconds. You may see slide to power off come on the screen but ignore that and continue holding the buttons until the device turns off. Depending on the exact model the device may automatically turn back on when you let go and show the apple logo, or you may have to manually turn it back on with the power button.
After the device loads back up attempt to print again.

    Greetings,
    Here's a direct link to the drivers you need, they should work perfectly for your situation.

  • TS1406 I read all of this, and did each step and mine still doesn't work. It still says "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application". What's next?

    I read all of this, and did each step and mine still doesn't work. It still says "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application". What's next?

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • IPhone not in iTunes (after following all steps listed in Apple support)

    My iPhone is not appearing in iTunes, even after I followed all the steps listed in the apple support assistant. (It is still being recognized as a camera when plugged in) The steps I already tried include updating iTunes software, restarting iPhone, restarting computer, updating computer software, and choosing a different USB port...
    I have Mac OS X 10.6.3, iTunes version 10.6.3, and an iPhone 4 (without the newest software update).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Okay, now I tried to complete #5 on that webpage you just posted, and have lost iTunes...
    I followed the steps for Reinstall the Apple Mobile Service Device, but the reinstalled version is only for 10.6.8 and later. I have 10.6.3. How do I get iTunes back after I uninstalled it?

  • TS1538 i've followed all the step in the article and the iphone still does not show in itunes. Running windows 7 on new computer.  iphone is version 4.

    can't see iphone in itunes.  installed itunes again.  reset phone.  shut off and restarted services.  running out of ideas.

    Follow ALL of the troubleshooting steps in the article from which the question was posted.

  • TS1389 I did everything that apple suggest and it's still doesn't work. What should I do ?

    I just bought the album Dark Eyes by Half Moon Run and I can't listen to half the songs because itunes is telling me that my computer is not authorized to play those songs. When I enter my account name and password it tells me that my computer is already authorized.
    Apple suggest 4 ways to solve that problem. I did ALL of them, step by step, and it's STILL not working.
    Before you ask, YES I have the latest itunes version (10.7.0.21).
    What should I do ?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.

    I can't listen to half the songs because itunes is telling me that my computer is not authorized to play those songs. When I enter my account name and password it tells me that my computer is already authorized.
    If you're only getting that alert for some tracks on the album, that suggests that the tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • I have an HP 1400 all in one color printer that doesn't print

    Suddenly this printer takes forever to print the "test" page and will not print from the computer. Yes, it is properly "hooked" up. I really like this printer and would hate to think that HP has become a throw away company. What can I do to diagnose this problem? It uses cartridges 21 b and 22 color.

    Hi,
    You could try this link that gives information about print jobs not printing:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02205477&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=441...
    If you expand on the relevant operating system it should guide you through using the print diagnostic utility.
    You also mentioned that the printer is taking a long time to print a test page so this link may be useful:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=53232&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&d...
    Please go to the section on slow printing.
    I hope that this helps.

  • TS1591 I followed all the steps and everything but my ipod is still not showing up at all. Help Please!!!

  • I've followed all the recommended steps for disk space limitations and still cannot download emails. Recommendations please.

    I'm running the latest OS on my iMac, and I do not use anti-virus software. I have deleted all but a few emails from my Trash and compacted all folders. The Alert message, "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again." continues to appear.

    the issue can be caused by a lack of physical disk space, a lack of quota in the disk (user account full), file locking and contention (such a an anti virus or backup program trying to access the same space at the same time. Time machine features in some peoples problems) or as the message suggest large Thunderbird files. As you have looked at the Thunderbird issues, perhaps it is time to look t the broader picture.

  • I am unable to print anything since installing the latest driver for my epson stylus rx640. I have followed epson's advice by doing repair permissions, but I still can't print anything. Can anybody suggest anything?

    Can't print with my Epson stylus RX 640 since the latest apple software update for epson. Since then I completely reinstalled the printer following epson's advice. It worked. But today, I am trying to print some photos and nothing happens. Epson suggest resetting and then doing some repair permissions. Done that and still no joy. Can anyone help please.

    contact Epson again and ask them about using a generic Gutenprint driver; I read in one of the threads here - but can't find it right now - about a problem with your model printer. Since Epson has not updated its driver to work with SL on this older model, it appears using a generic driver does work. You might also try searching for those threads by typing your model number into the search box.

  • I can't install on uninstall iTunes on my laptop; running Windows XP.  I've tried all the steps in Apple Support as well as Windows support.  Can anyone help?  I fet the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    I can't install or uninstall iTunes on my laptop.  I've followed all the steps on Apple Support as well as Microsoft support.  I get the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Pick an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi".  This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and I'm very frustrated.  From what I can see, I'm not the only one with this problem, but I have yet to see anyone post a solution that works.  Microsoft wants to charge me $99 to troubleshoot it for me and Apple will charge $20.  I think both are ridiculous as this is obviously not "operator error".

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Facebook says I need to enable cookies, but I have followed all your steps.

    Facebook says I need to enable cookies in order to log in. I am using windows 8.1. I have followed all the steps in the support section and am still getting the same error message.

    Note that your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
