IPP / LPD Printing with HP Photosmart 6180

I've connected my HP 6180 to my home network and manually assigned it an ip address. I've been trying to print to it over the internet using IPP (port 631) or LPD (port 515) but have been unsuccessful. (I have a number of printers currently set up at both my office and home that can be printed to from anywhere, so I'm fairly familiar with this.)
When sending a print job, I'm always given the message "host server is busy, will retry in 30 seconds." Any idea why this isn't working? Is it that the HP 6180 doesn't support/allow printing over the internet? Is this a queue issue or driver issue?

Hi, I’m not having any problem adding the printer and printing on my home network (LAN) . . . in fact, I have no problem adding the printer for LPD or IPP printing using “myaccount.dyndns.info:port” . . . I can ping the device over the internet, but when sending a print job, I get the message "host server is busy, will retry in 30 seconds." I’m successfully doing this very set up/printing with four other printers using IPP (port 631) or LPD (port 515) but can’t seem to get the HP to work. There doesn't appear to be any option for HP IP or HP TCP/IP in the "select printer drivers" area.
If I understand you correctly, I need to download and install a CUPS-based driver for the Photosmart C8180?

I cannot select the Paper Size when I try to print with HP Photosmart B110a with Windows 8.1 64bit

I cannot select the Paper Size when I try to print with HP Photosmart B110a
The same printer was working OK with my old PC with OS Windows 7
However I got a new PC with OS Windows 8.1 64bit
I installed the new driver for HP Photosmart B110a that I dowloaded from HP site. Driver forWindows 8.1 64bit.
In addition to not being able to chose the paper size, also when I go to Printer Properties in Options, all the characters are non-ascii.
Do you know what may be the problem?
Thank you

Hello Nanu64,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print from your computer.
I also see that you stated that not all the options are available in the printing preferences options. This could be because the installation was not complete or it failed.
I suggest that we do a complete uninstall/ reinstall as well as some additional steps.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If you have the printer connected to the computer with a usb cable, please remove the cable from both ends and leave it disconnected until further notice.
The next link that I have for you will give you detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer so that the changes take affect.
When the computer is back up and running, please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection you may have running. We don't want anything getting in the way of the reinstall.
The following download is the HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers. Save this download to the desktop of the computer so that it creates its own icon. This will make it easy for us to find when the download is complete.
Double click the new icon and follow the installation instructions. The installation will give you connection options (Wireless , usb or Ethernet), if connecting usb, please wait for the prompt to connect the cable. Connecting the usb cable before hand can cause an issue with the installation.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Anyone printing with HP Photosmart Pro B9180?

Has anyone been successfully printing with their HP Photosmart Pro B9180 after upgrading to Leopard? I am considering buying one of these printers but only if I am sure that it will work with Leopard as a network printer.
Thanks for any comments.

I haven't printed a lot yet, but have run a few test prints on my B9180 under Leopard and have been getting very good results, comparable to those I got printing under Tiger.
So far my tests have been restricted to printing from Adobe Lightroom and onto HP Advanced Glossy paper, but I haven't seen any problems yet. I hope to be trying some other papers and applications over the next few days.
Note: The print dialog has been completely reorganized under Leopard, and some of the options you need to adjust to get good prints have been relocated to places that aren't obvious, so it pays to poke around.
Jim,
Did your monitor appear any different after installing Leopard?
I did manage to pick my way through the new dialog boxes and found everything that I needed but the color is bad.

Trouble printing with HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-one while on Mac

Hi!
I just successfully registered and connected via WiFi to my new HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-one pritner. I even printed the alignment and test page successfully.
When I tried to print documents in Word, Adobe PDF, and TextEdit, the same result occurs each time. The first page that prints has text regarding my Mac such as:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8
%APLProducer: (Version 10.8.2 (Build 12C60)
And then many many many blank pages start printing after that. WHAT GIVES!?!
I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX Version 10.8.2 and have tried restarting both my printer and computer several times without success. Any help with this would be much appreciated!
This question was solved.

Extremely slow wireless printing with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

I'm seeing extremely slow print speeds when printing wirelessly from a Mac or a Windows XP system to a new HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer. The printer begins printing immediately when I request a print, but it only prints one line. It will then take about 15 minutes to print the rest of the page, printing each line after a very long pause. Demo page printing doesn't exhibit this problem, only documents from programs like Word 2008, Safari and Firefox (tried firefox on PC and Mac) are affected.
If I connect to the printer through a USB connection it prints fine, so this problem appears to be with wireless printing only.
Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m
Computer: Mac mini (Late 2009 model) (also tried a Windows XP laptop as a comparison, using latest drivers from HP's website)
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all available updates installed
Computer connection method: Wired Ethernet connection to wireless router
Printer drivers: version 2.2.1 (Apple supplied, HP drivers never installed as system shipped with 10.6)
Wireless router: Apple TimeCapsule (Early 2009) 1TB, running in a/n and b/g modes on 2.4 and 5GHz. TimeCapsule is in bridging mode as the DSL modem handles DHCP service
Encryption: WPA2 Personal, no MAC filtering or hiding of the SSID.
IP addressing scheme: All addresses are handed out by DHCP server with no reservations of any kind
The TimeCapsule is sitting three inches from the printer and the printer indicates full signal. Connection of the printer to the wireless network and setup of the printer on the Mac went without a hitch. Only when printing a test document did we discover the problem. The wireless network is behaving as expected when accessing the Internet from both Mac and Windows devices (tested with a Dell laptop running XP and a MacBook running OS X 10.6.2), so I don't see any overall problems with the wireless network.
Attempted remedies:
1. Rebooting and powering off, waiting, powering on computer
2. Resetting the print subsystem, turning the printer off and on again and reinstalling the printer
3. Unplugging power from the printer and letting it sit for several minutes before trying to print wirelessly.
None of these worked.
This question was solved.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the DSL modem HW. There might be an issue with how print data is being routed though.
Please try the second experiment where you blank-out the default gateway and DNS entries from the printer's internal web configuration page. Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address. Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11). Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address.
For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank. This is important.
Select Manual DNS Server:
Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty. This is important.
Press Apply.
Turn off the DSL modem, the printer and all computers connected to your network. Wait 60 seconds then turn on the DSL modem and then turn on the printer. Then turn on the computers. See if this corrects the printing speed.

Problem printing with HP Photosmart 7520 printer. Same bad result independent of advanced settings.

How can it be that, no matter what settings (advanced, custom, PS manages color, Printer manages color,...) I get the same terrible result for a reference photo (dull, colorless)? It is as if the PS CS6 is not controlling anything with these settings. Is there something else I need to set to make this work? (Old HP Photosmart 7960 works fine, but they stopped manufacturing new photo cartridges). The 7520 all-in-one makes copies of graphics with excellent, accurate color rendition so it is something with the settings for the printer. The device can print good color. HP support says its Photoshop settings. I don't know what it is.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Pirazok,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I am going to give you a document that deals with when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This document covers a wide span of troubleshooting steps that I think may help with the issue you seem to be having.

SLOW printing with HP PhotoSmart 7960

If this has already been addressed in another thread, please someone point me there, but:
Problem is that suddenly my HP PhotoSmart 7960 has started to take 1/2 hour to print a simple single page of text. I'm using OS X 10.3.9, by the way.
Tried updating the drivers from HP - no good. Tried Repair Permissions - no good.
Can someone out there tell me how to completely remove any trace of HP software / drivers from the hard drive? Is there a print queue or memory buffer that needs to be purged? Figured I'd re-install the original drivers if I could completely remove any trace of a printer or print job having previously existed.
Spent more than a few frustrating hours on this - any help is appreciated!

1-2 minutes! Try 10-15 minutes on my Photosmart. These things are junk. I have discussed my many issues with phone support 10-12 times in the last six months with no progress.

Printing with HP Photosmart Wireless B109N

Hello,
Could someone tell me if HP Photosmart Wireless B109N is compatible with printing on iOS 4.2.1 ?
Because it doesn't work for me...

The B109 is not on the list of printers that implement AirPrint:

Extremely slow printing with hp photosmart d110

Recently, I've had extremely slow wireless printing from my laptop to our HP Photosmart D110 series printer. The printer is part of our wireless network and is used by my business laptop and our home laptop. When I send a simple Excel spreadsheet to print, the printer screen says, "Printing", the on/off light flashes and it looks like it's printing. But it takes 1-2 minutes for the document to finally print. This problem does not occur when we print from the home laptop; things print instantly. No updates or system changes before this problem started.

1-2 minutes! Try 10-15 minutes on my Photosmart. These things are junk. I have discussed my many issues with phone support 10-12 times in the last six months with no progress.

Compatibility of using Photosmart 7510 printer with a Photosmart 7525 printer from the same computer

Before installing, registering, and setting up my new HP Photosmart 7525 I need to know whether I can keep using my 2 year old HP Photosmart 7510 and its software on my computer and whether this would cause a conflict. My 2 year old Photosmart 7510 works fine and I want to use the Photosmart 7510 and the Photosmart 7525 both from the same computer and network without conflict. And if a conflict would be probable, is it necessary to remove the Photosmart 7510 software before installing the software/drivers for the Photosmart 7525?

Hi,
You can install more than 1 printer to your computer. They will share few folders including HP Photo Creations product but they should live harmony together.

Maximum paper weight for printing with a photosmart 5520 printer needed. Table gives sizes only

Hi,
I am trying to find out if my printer can print 350 gsm canvas style A4 photopaper. There is an older post with a link but the links only give the paper size .
There is also a 320 gsm version of this paper.
What is the maximum paper weight?

Hi Tony,
On the right side:
HP Brochure Paper and HP Professional Paper
180gsm
HP Premium Presentation120gsm Paper and HP
Professional Paper 120gsm
================================================
Google is our friend for this sort of conversion / measurement.
Most American made paper is sold by Pound measurement which might be shown on the front of the package.
A chart might be useful to determine what the average home printer uses.
Pounds to GSM Paper Weight Conversion Chart
I am unsure the extent of what you require for this -- the printer may be able to handle the extra weight paper or not. If the job is one for which you may not need to use the printer again, you might consider using a professional service and not risk your home equipment that may not be suited to this heavy duty service.
Good Luck!

Problems printing with Hp Photosmart D5160

keep hearing the printer sound when connecting with compuer threough USB and when I go to print a page it sdaysd spooling and printing, but just keeps saying that but prints nothing, help please.

''' "The HP Smart Web Printing application is not supported in the Firefox web browser." '''
Misleading statement, like a lawyer wrote it - HP Smart Web Printing doesn't support Firefox. For some reason HP hasn't kept up with new versions of Firefox after the 3.5 version, and prior to that version the update to SWP for Firefox 3.0 and 3.5 came many months after those versions were released.
As far as the slow printing in Firefox, see if anything here helps you. <br />

Printing with hp photosmart c310a

Hi,
Any leads on how to steer the printing between the photoshelf and the mainshelf from the IPad is most welcome. I've not been able to find the setting - now the printer always tries photo shelf when printing a picture.
thanks,
Jonas

Jonas-
I think the problem is with the Photos App. The iPad designers apparently assumed that anyone wanting to print a photo from their iPad, only wanted postcard-size prints.
It may be possible to print photos from other Apps and get different results. One thing you can try is to download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but I think it offers the option of different paper sizes, as well as rotating and resizing an image with two fingers!
