IMac printing to HP 6P

I added my HP 6P printer to iMac and attempted to print but only got giberish (%!PS-Adobe-3.0....). The Mac OS X article #106709 said It should be able to print, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any clues??

Older HP model drivers don't work on the Intel Macs. Download the all-in-one HP gutenprint driver from gimp-print.com (if I have the site name wrong, google it). They have developed the driver for HP legacy printers. The download is free. I've been using it for three weeks on my new iMacwith no problem. It seems to be solid and efficient.
Enjoy,

IMac Printing debacle

Just purchased a 17 inch iMac, 2 Ghz Intel, 1GB SDRAM, 10.4.8, Microsoft Office 11.3.
I have it linked to my printer via Airport Extreme. My PowerBook and my G4 both print flawlessly to the HP DeskJet 845c via the Airport.
The iMac prints, but seems to chop every other line of print off. I'm sorry I can't explain it better. I can't find any options in the printer set up to aleviate the problem. HELP!!

Jace,
Have you tried to delete your current printer from System Preferences>Print & Fax, and then redo the Preference setting. That has been a successful resolution for many whose new Intel-based iMacs have not successfully coexisted with their printers after the initial printer setup.
As a matter of fact it was exactly my problem when I got my first Core Duo iMac a year ago. I can't explain now why it can work on the second setup try but not the first any better than I could explain it a year ago:))

Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

IMac printing problem with HP Photosmart 7150

I've just bought a 27 inch iMac and I'm having problems printing out of iPhoto 9. I select for eg, 4 X photos per page and it prints about 10% of the page before spitting it out. I've downloaded the latest driver for my HP Photosmart 7150 printer (Gutenprint v5.2.5) but still no good.
The print monitor window always says it is printing Page 1 7%. Weird.
Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.
Dan

I've got the same problem on my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and Gutenprint 5.2.5 when printing on the 7150 - it prints about 10% (and skewed at that) and spits out the page. This occurs when printing from any app.
I am only able to print in draft mode which is not suitable for anything I need to do.
I realize this printer is no longer officially supported, but any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike.

Print from iPad to iMac printer

How can I print an email from my ipad using the printer connected to my imac? I use wi-fi.

Sorry, misunderstanding. I have not been able to print from my iOS devices on my Win7 network. Hence my move to purchase an iMac to try to create a homogenious environment. I'd thought I'd read somewhere that I could print to "Mac shared printers...". My previous reference to "printing on my Win7 network.." was referring to my ability to share printers on Win7 machines and print from any Windows based computer on my network. No success as of yet printing on either Win7 nor Apple OS networks.
So my search continues for a solution to print from my iPad on my network [wirelessly of course].
I just made an assumption based on some readying that if I purchased an iMac and shared my printer(s), my iOS printing issues would be resolved, and I'd have a nice new computer for my family to use. So far 1 out of 2 objectives met.

IMac Printer recommendations and help please...

Hi there
I am looking for an all-in-one printer for my iMac 24. I have an older printer that i used to use with my old Windows PC, but have had issues with it on my Mac.
Any good recommendations are most welcome. Also, I used to scan stuff into Photoshop via WIA support. I am lead to believe that Mac does not support WIA so how do you scan into photoshop / Adobe acrobat etc fomr these types of All-in-one printers????
many thanks
Scott

I am a fan of HP printers, currently using a Officejet 7410 all in one. One of the reasons I like the HP's is they have several models with wireless functionality meaning using Airport I can print, scan, copy and even fax wirelessly. This gives me the freedom to put the printer where I want as well as having fewer wires. The 7410 is an older design now however you can get the 7280, L7760 and others with wi-fi build in. Setting them up is extremely easy too, I was up and running within a few minutes.
You can go to www.hpshopping.com and do comparisons on a variety of printers and I'm sure be able to find one that meets your needs.

Migration from iBook to iMac -- printer, etc.

In setting up my new iMac (17", 1GB RAM, Intel Core), I didn't initially use the Migration Assistant. I set up the accounts for me and my family, which was pretty easy, and decided to see if I could import the various other things over through the Airport Extreme connection. After a day or so and realizing that this would be a pain, I went and got a Firewire cable.
So I ran the Migration Assistant. I didn't tell it to migrate the accounts because those were already set up. I was more interested in network settings, printer, etc. So my questions are:
1. The printer (Epson Stylus Color 740) appears in my printer list on the iMac, but when I go to print, the icon appears in the Dock, but nothing happens. I tried to delete the printer and add it again, but that still didn't work. I don't understand the things that appear in the dropdown lists on Printer Setup and which ones to pick. I see my printer in the dropdown list, but I don't think the settings I entered before that point are correct. Any suggestions?
2. The Airport icon in the Menu bar on the iMac seems fainter than on the iBook. Does this make sense?
3. No documents or Mail items (Inbox contents, Address Book) were migrated. I told the Migration Assistant (I think) to move folders and libraries. Did I leave something out? (Also, I had set up everyone's Mail accounts before running Migration Asst.).
4. Can I run the Migration Assistant again, like a do-over?
5. On the iBook, to get the Firewire sign off the screen and get that computer working again, I ended up shutting down with the power button and then powering up again. Is there a different thing to do?
Well, I hope that's not too many questions and that I'm in in the right forum. Thanks in advance for your patience and help.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7) iBook, Mac OSX (10.4)

OK, now I'm really confused. I re-ran the Migration Assistant and when it came to transferring the accounts, I was asked to change the names. Besides the choice of not transferring the account, there was a grayed-out choice the name of which escapes me now (also something with the names). Anyway, now I have multiple accounts with both the old and new names on the new iMac and the old names bring up the old Dock (smaller, fewer applications) and the things like Address Book only show up under the re-named old name account. Should I delete the accounts and start over?
Also, the printer shows up again but still doesn't print. As I said in my original message, I think I have to delete it and add it again but I don't understand the drop-down lists. They're not the same as when I had to it on the iBook once or twice.

Imac printing wirelessly from an existing pc network

I have a wireless network already set up in my home, my main pc is a win xp pro xomputerhave a laptop that already prints wirelessly thru it... thinking about adding an imac .. will that be able to print wirelessly too, my printers are both HP's and have mac drivers that are available.

Yes, usually with very few problems. Just get the Mac onto the wireless network and run the printer setup utility on the Mac, and that should be it.

Imac printing to NETgear router

My new iMac duo connects to the web via a Netgear wireless router connected to the cable modem. Also connected to the router is a print server/printer. My PC can print wirelessly to the router/print server/printer. The PC prints wirelessly because Netgear has software to perform the configurations.
Can my iMac be configured to wirelessly print to the router/print server/printer?

Apple System Preferences - Sharing - Printer Sharing.
Is this enabled?
I have not used wireless or a print server, but I would be surprised in Netgear (I have modem, two routers, switch from them) would have something in their knowledge base about setting up Mac. PC-only?
What printer?
Does it come with Mac driver?

Print job from Windows hangs in iMac print queue - help please!!!

I have a new iMac core duo and am trying to print to my Epson Stylus CX4600 from Windows. Bonjour sees the printer and sets it up, the print job seems to go just fine, but when I check my G5 (the Epson is connected to the G5) I see the job stopped. If I try to start the job, nothing happens... the only way to clear the Q is to delete the job.
I have all the latest drivers, and have tried bonjour both with generic postscript and with the Epson driver - no luck.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Tiger on iNtel iMac "Printing" over Airport to HP 2100M

Nice new iNtel iMac 2GHz running Airport Extreme can't print via Airport to a networked HP 2100M. The HP has an EIO card and it's connected to the LAN by that cable.
I have an old iMac that's hardwired to an ethernet hub that's being driven by the AEB and the HP 2100M is also connected to that hub.
The old iMac sees the printer and prints just fine.
The new Intel iMac doesn't see the HP over Appletalk and I'm not able to figure out how to setup the new iMac to print via Airport using the IP address of the HP printer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here's a 30,000 ft level view of my LAN:
Internet Cloud =>Comcast Cable ISP =>Cable Router
AEB =>Linksys Ethernet Hub
•iMac 350MHz (don't laugh. She's still a beauty) OSX 10.2.8
•HP 2100M with Network EIO card
iNtel iMac (sees the Internet just fine via AEB, but can't see the printer for patootie!)
iNtel iMac 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) HP 2100M with EIO network card, AEB LAN,

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I power cycled the cable modem, AEB, router hub, and the printer and the iMac still can't "see" the printer.
I've looked at the Airport discussions and this problem is a larger issue than the iNtel iMacs. It sounds like it's probably an AEB issue.
I'm running the latest firmware to no avail. It almost sounds to me in the Apple literature that they only support USB printing through Airport. This would be a serious blunder as the business world relies more on networked server based laserwriters than USB dot matrix printers.

2.7 update for HP printer via prompt from Imac; printer crashed

Per a standard window prompt on my IMAC indicating a 2.7 update for HP Photosmart printer 309G, the printer toally crashed and won't print or copy anything. Can this be uninstalled? any other solutions? Thanks.

Hi,
You may either add the device and the drivers will obtain via Software Update, for full functionality you may also install the full feature software from the HP site:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-96135-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=5063582&sw_lang=
Be sure to check the HP REcommended Software option while installing, reboot your Mac after the installation done and run Software Update.

IMac prints yellow

I'm not sure where to post this; seems as good a place as any.
Been on Windows for years (long story.)
My Sony P4 worked fine with my Canon Pixma iP6000d. I bought an iMac 20 Intel, specifically because I wanted to use Aperture. Prints on the Canon printer came out with a distinct yellow bias--yellow sky, etc. AppleCare thought it was the printer. I bought an HP Photosmart D7160 printer. It prints just as yellow. Normal prints with the Sony.
Either printer prints normally directly from Compact Flash--the same photograph. All software is up to date. I have re-installed OS X twice, first the way it kept my files and settings, the second time so that it wiped out everything and I had to start over. I re-installed Aperture, Adobe CS2 for Mac, etc, all under the direction of AppleCare, and updated them all. No change; it still prints yellow. Yes, I know about the sliders in the printer setup. Seven sliders, one hundred possible settings on each, for seven to the one hundredth power possible settings, I think. I have tried several hundred settings without finding a satisfactory combination to get a decent print. Cyan has to be set to plus 30 or 40 to get anywhere near the ballpark, for a start.
Local Apple Geniuses say this problem is well beyond their expertise. AppleCare says the local store will take it from here.
I'm trying to set up a test to use my files and printer on a store iMac 20, but so far they haven't been able to. They think I am going to just get a refund and go back to Windoze.
Any ideas?

The discussion continues on the Aperture group...

Photoshop elements 12 for iMac printing undersize

I have purchased Photoshop Elements 12 for iMac from Applestore and when I print a photo "actual size" the printout is only 93% of true size.
I have tried to print to a Canon MP610 and a Canon MG5550 with the latest drivers installed and get the same result.
If I print the photo from either the Apple iPhoto app. or from the Apple Preview app. the printout is the correct size.
Just in case there was anything amiss with the photoshop Elements 12 installation I uninstalled the app. and reinstalled it and still prints are 93% of true size.
I believe that Photoshop Elements 12 for iMac when purchased from Applestore is a special edition software.
I am also running the latest release of Mavericks OSX operating systems for iMac.
Any Ideas ?

I do not believe this will help because the same thing happens with both of the printers I have and so think it is unlikely that both printers have the identical problem. I also draw your attention to an earlier reply to hatstead describing how the size reduction also applies to PDF files generated from the PSE print window. Also when an image is generated using PSE saved and then printed using another application such as Apples "Preview" the printout is printed the correct size. As mentioned earlier, the version of PSE 12 I am using is a special edition software exclusive to Apple iTunes app. store. This version does not have the photo management part of the software but includes more of the tools that come with the full photoshop version. This it has been tailored to work with Apple iPhoto. Please see iTunes app store for more info. This may mean in view of what you said that the issue may only exist in this version of the software.
