IMac not working with wireless printer

I have purchased an iMac running OS X mavericks 10.0.2 along with an HP 4260 printer. I can now print from my iPhone 4S and iPad mini but not from the iMac unless I have the USB plugged in. It just keeps telling me that it can't find my device. Help

Hi maxskingsley,
If you are still unable to print from your iMac, the first thing to check wouId be that the printer and the iMac are on the same network.
Now if both devices are on the same network, next I would suggest an uninstall, and reinstall of the software for the printer. To start, I have included the document 'Uninstalling the Printer Software' http://bit.ly/1amRotF. Please click on your operating system, and follow through the steps.
When the software is uninstalled, you will need to reset the printing system of your Mac. I have included the document 'OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system' http://bit.ly/1bS2qrh. At this point you do not have to re-add the printer. After resetting the print system on the Mac, the next step will be to complete a verify and repair of the disk permissions. I have included the document 'Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions' http://bit.ly/1bjFnnP. For step 3, the disk that you do want to select is the hard drive. One the repair of the disk permissions is complete, please restart your Mac.
At this point you will need to reinstall the software for your printer. I have included a link to download the 'HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks' http://bit.ly/1lC0Orf. After the download has completed, please open the software, and follow through the on screen instruction for installing the printer.
The last step will be to make sure that you have all the latest updates from Apple. Please click on the Apple icon, and then Software Update. Please install all available updates.
Now please try to print from the iMac. Are you able to print successfully?
Regards.

HP C6180 not responding with wireless print from Mac OS X 10.9

My Printer does not work with wireless printing from my Macbook Air OS X 10.9
I tried all the normal stuff I can find.
The text that is there is: The Printer is not responding.

Hi XavierMaassen,
I understand you have a Photosmart C6180 that you're having issues using in Mac 10.9. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will certainly do my best to assist you.
I'm wondering how you installed the printer. If you had it installed prior to upgrading to 10.9 that could be part of the problem. There are currently no HP drivers available for this printer for 10.9, so you need to uninstall the HP software and install the printer via the Apple updates. Once you do that you should be able to print normally and scan using 3 different methods.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

HP Director won't work with Wireless Print Server

I have an HP 5500 Office Jet all in one. It comes with bundled software called HP Director that enables scanning, printing, and faxing. The software worked fine while I had the printer connected to my pc with a USB cable.
To give myself flexibility I installed a WPSM54G Linksys Wireless G Printserver. There is no direct connection between my printer and pc anymore.
Printing still works fine. This is being handled by the Linksys software.
The HP Director no longer can find the printer. When I try to scan (for example) using HP Director, I get a message that "an error occurred communicating with the printing device...". It presumably is looking for a direct USB connection, and not finding one.
I can't find a fix on the HP site, but I imagine there must be one. Wireless print servers have been around for quite a while. Is there a download that will solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Hi JoJoh,
I can't be of much help with the printer but I just checked my "Pages" and my version number is 4.0.2. I'm using iWork 09. Perhaps you need to update? I just checked the "Snow Leopard Compatible" site and found "Apple Pages 4.0.2" is compatible. It didn't mention 1.0.2. I'm so sorry. That's pretty rough when it's how you make your living.
As for the printer, I have an HP Photosmart C4580 which wouldn't print. I finally just deleted all the printers on my MacBook and used my Snow Leopard install disk and selected the "Optional Install" which allowed me to just reinstall the printers. My HP is now working fine. I do feel like this is just a work-around until HP gets things sorted out. I say that because even though my HP now works, the only place it shows up is in my users folder. It's not in my Applications folder, but as long as it works for now, I don't care.
Hope I was of some help to you. Best of luck!

Log on screen not working with wireless keyboard only usb KB

Since upgrading to mountain lion from the latest version of Lion, I am not able to log on with my wireless keybord only with usb kb but the wireless kb is working well, it react but no stars ** appear in the log on password field
So i enter with the usb kb and then the wireless kb is working well
I put all keybord settings to default
I reset smc and pram but same behaviour
Any hint to fix this ?

I fought for it for long time. I used command-r, option key, command-option-r, option-r, everything you can imagine but it did not work. I even shut down the imac and then tried all these combinations but it still did not work. I EVEN TRIED APPLE's OFFICIAL ANSWER TO THIS ISSUE BUT BELIEVE ME IT DID NOT WORK AS WELL. Then I deeply thought for a while and shutdown the iMac. Then I took off the batteries from the wireless keyboard. Then Waited for 5 seconds or so. Then I just started the wireless keyboard with the button on the side. It started blinking. I immediately understood that my trick is going to work. I understood the problem. While the keyboard was blinking I started the imac. Now after startup chime from apple i just pressed the option key. And guess what- THE RECOVERY OPTION POPPED UP! See, the point is after you restart or shutdown the keyboard is still kind of paired with the imac so when you start it those keys are kind of overlooked. When you reaaly take out the batteries from the keyboard the pairing is lost. When you restart the imac the pairing is established during the startup chime tone. This is precisely the moment to press those keys like option or command-r. The command-r key works only if you have imac that was preinstalled with 10.8
I hope this saves your hours of work! I really wished that APPLE knew it. I have so much believed in this company so far.

Airprint not working with HP printer after updating to IOS5

Hi,
I have an HP airprint printer (photosmart B210) that worked fine with my ipad2 and iphone 4 all running ios 4.
Now I have a iphone 4s as well as the iphone 4 and ipad. After upgrading to ios 5, I can no longer airprint from any of my ios devices.
I have tried turing everything off anf back on (including time capsule router, printer, ios devices).
I can see the printer from ios but the job just sits waiting to print. I have managed to print one document after trying multiple times.
Anyone having this issue?
Thanks

BattleAngelita,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
The fact that the SimplePass program is asking your for your Master Windows Password means the program survived the upgrade process to Windows 8.1 -- sort of.
You may want to start with the following:
Create a Restore Point >> Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook
Boot the computer and log in
Check to see is SimplePass has sorted itself.
==========================================================================
You may want to try to Update your SimplePass program to the latest version in the version 6.x series.
Before you do that, read and follow the instructions to Export your Webcards to your .tsd file. Regardless of whether the website logins are working right now; you do need this backup in case you lose your HP SimplePass program (through complete removal / reinstallation or though corruption).
Next, consider updating the HP SimplePass program to the latest of the version 6 series. If you are already running the latest version, consider the other options in the guide, including the "Repair SimplePass" procedure.

Second monitor on iMac not working with Lion

I have a mid-2011 Thunderbolt 21.5" iMac. A secondary monitor is connected to the iMac with a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable (a single cable, not an adaptor and cable).
When I was running Snow Leopard, the monitor worked just fine. After upgrading to Lion, the second monitor just has a black screen, and quickly goes into power save mode.
I have already tried resetting the NVRAM (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379) and resetting the SMC (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).
Has anyone seen this problem? Any other suggestions for solutions?

same here, just performed the upgrade to Lion and my secondary Samsung screen (direct HDMI cable) do not work anymore (I have a mid 2011 iMac 21.5'').
I have tried the tricks mentioned on the following discussion:
No Signal on HDMI TV After Lion Upgrade
ie open terminal
cd /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-410c/
sudo mv DisplayProductID-0 DisplayProductID-0.old
Reboot after entering the commands
But it is not working, the developper clearly messed up the video output in Lion OS!!!
Let me know if you have a solution, I am reduced to single screen use in the meantime... and regret the upgrade...
Thanks

Airport Express not working with wireless router

I just bought Airport Express to play music on my stereo. My PC running XP is connected to my wireless router (TeleWell TW-EA510v3) with ethernet cable and airport express wirelessly. Problem is that Airport Utility (and iTunes) can't find AE if it's not connected to router with ethernet cable.
I can connect to AE from Aiport Utility by "configure other" option so it's connected to my wireless network correctly.
Is this kind of set up even possible (pc wired to router and AE wireless)? I have tried tried WEP, WPA/WPA2 and no encryption on my wireless network and AE connects ok every time but Airport Utility still can't find it. I even tried to make a WDS network but AE was not compatible with my router. Now I can't come up with anything else to try.
Is there anything else to do? Should I buy WLAN adabter to my PC and would AE work then?
Why can't Apple make Airport Utility to recognise AE with given IP like with "configure other" option? Should not be too hard to program?!
Message was edited by: -MTL-

Follow the isntruction lisetd below...they work.
Actually, the ae is a slick device, once you get it to work.
Make sure that one (or both) checkboxes in Airport Utility > Airport Express tab
(middle of page) are not checked...if one or both are checked, they limit (hide) wireless connectivity options (e.g., WEP-64) to choose from.
P.S. You must have patience: it may take a couple of minutes to establish the connection and turn the led to solid green. So, give it a chance.
===============================================================================
OMG!!! You are da man!!!
I have this streaming perfectly now!! Here is what I did for others to see and use (it does work perfectly)
Step 1) Clear/Reset the Airport Express
Step 2) Connect the Airport Express directly to the Router/Modem via Ethernet to set up Wireless
Step 3) Do it via the Manual Set-up Effort Listed Below following:
AirPort > Base Station
o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing Linksys wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network> I have 64bit WEP
(Same as 40bit on the drop down menu)
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
Once it congratulates you, unplug the ethernet cable
Verify in Aitport Utility that it still recognizes (if not, repeat the above). Note this may take a few minutes, so be patient.
Now place the airport express with your stereo (or whatever) and again be patient as it tries to find the network
(mine took 4 minutes) then it turns green and you are off listening to music on your stereo downstairs in another room.
Frustrating when it does not work at first, but keep trying and it will work!!
Thanks everyone for your help!!

10.8.3 not working with Epson printer

I have a 2009 iMac, 27 inch, 10.8.3, and an Epson XP 601 all-in-one (Asian version of the XP600)
I cannot print in DRAFT or ECONOMY mode.
I think this began when I upgraged to 10.8.3.
Epson has been giving me suggestions for the past 3 days, but none of that works.
Does anybody out there have the same printer and or same problem?
Thanks.

the computer balked and said it was not a legit, apple approved program.
That is a new security feature in Mountain Lion and will do it with anything not from MAS; you can either change the settings in System Preferences permanently or make a one-time exception by hitting Control key while opening the installer/app - that will override the security for one time only.
And yes, restarting works wonders in most cases. FWIW, it took me several hours to get my Epson recognized in 10.8.3 (was working fine in 10.8.2 and suddenly quit after updating) - I never did figure out exactly what finally fixed it; I did delete/add mine half a dozen times.

Verizon FIOS router Actiontec MI424WR not working with bonjour printing

Running OS X ver 10.9.3. Have a HPLaserJetP1102w. Just upgraded my Verizon FIOS router to Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I. Now my Mac can no longer find the printer wirelessly (it does, however, work thru USB). I see others have had this problem- and apparently some have solved it by changing settings on the router- but those settings options do not appear under 'advanced' for me. Verizon technical support, including the version one must pay for- was totally and utterly unable to help. Any suggestions for how to rescue this? Was all working perfectly with older Verizon router.

>It's amazing to me that talkting to 4 or 5 Verizon Tech's, they all say "This is new to me, I've never heard of this." Ugh...
I've had EXACTLY the same experience. Phone support and the techs who come to my home apparently have no idea this has been happening for months and months. Clearly, this issue hasn't filtered down from the network engineers to support.

Email not working with wireless connection

This has been bothering me for ages and I can't get anywhere with it. Please help.
A good while back, entourage and mail stopped being able to send mail whilst i was on a wireless connection. They work just fine when actually plugged into the broadband modem. Why is this? Have tried changing authentication settings and port settings - but to no avail. I get various different messages.
I just want to send an email!
Any help much appreciated.

OK firstly hello.
I have switched from Virgin Media to BT last week due to very poor service from Virgin. BT infinity is working great with no issues at all.
I do have one big problem though, I have Tenvis IP cameras at my home that are setup to send me email alerts if someone comes near the house. Under Virgin they worked great but with BT I just can not get them to work.
Here are the settings can anyone see what's wrong ?
Sender - [email protected]
Receiver - [email protected]
SMTP server - mail.btinternet.com
SMTP Port - 465
Transport Layer Security Protocol - TLS Use SSL, not TLS
SMTP User - [email protected]
SMTP Password - myemail password
Like I say with the Virgin Media modem it works fine, with BT is is like the homehub 5 is blocking any outbound email from the cameras.

IPad 3rd generation not working with wireless keyboard.

Hi,
I have recently bought the 3rd generation iPad. I have an apple wireless keyboard as well, but for some reason I can't get the keyboard to pair with the ipad. I have disconnected the keyboard from previous devices so they have now all 'forgotten' the keyboard. And I have read numerous 'discussions', but none of which are relevant to me.
At first, when I was trying to connect them, the keyboard was flashing green twice really fast but was not discoverable. I then turned my MacBook Air on and the keyboard became discoverable on both the ipad and the air. But when I tried to connect the keyboard to the ipad it would do nothing. I then tried to connect it to the air and I got further, but everytime I'd type in the passcode ontot the wireless keyboard, it said there was an error. I then clicked on 'passcode options' or on the macbook air and selected the default password to '0000' instead of randomly generating one. This fixed the problem connecting the keyboard to the air. However, it wasn't fixed with the ipad. The iPad now shows the keyboard as discoverable, even when the mac is off, but when you select the keyboard from the list of bluetooth connections it prompts you to input a random password on the wireless keyboard, however, when you enter the (correct) password it immediately says 'Pairing Unsuccessful - make sure keyboard is turned on, in range and is ready to pair'. No matter what I try I can't seem to get the iPad to accept the password and there is no option on the iPad to use a default password like on the mac.
Is there anyone that knows how to solve this issue.
Thanks

what kind of keyboard, Apple brand or some other?
also what are "ten keys" - function keys, number keys?
usually no configuration should be required once the keyboard is recognized,
keyboard is not supposed to cause your system to freeze.
