J4680 WiFi printer and Ubuntu Linux?

Hi, I use Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 and I was wondering how I go about setting up the WiFi for my new printer so I can print wirelessly?
This is the first WiFi printer that I have ever owned so this is all new to me for the most part..(well for the biggest part really)
The printer works just fine hard-wired to the computer and I can use it, but of course I bought this model to utilize the WiFi capabilites, and I had always heard that HP works well with Linux OS's so I thought this was the way to go of course.  My problem now is that the WiFi set-up I assume is on the set-up disk and that works with Windows and Mac... I searched and searched for a Linux option all over the place and can't seem to find one anywhere...
I can see the printer itself when I click on network connections on my computer, I just can't actually get the computer and the printer to connect using WiFi... is there a workaround that someone knows of, or perhaps the techs at HP know of that I am missing here?

Hi,
Follow THIS document to connect the printer to your wireless network.
Once this is done, use the HPLIP program pre-installed with Ubuntu and search for the printer using the IP address. It should work that way.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

    My laxmark wifi printer and iPad2 can't get married, what to do?

    Is it one of the Lexmark printers that support AirPrint ? Those that do support it are listed on this page - there is also a bit of troubleshooting on that page. If it's not an AirPrint printer then have Lexmark got an app that supports your model ? If they haven't then there are third-party printer apps such as Print Central For iPad and Print n Share which might work with it.

  • Printers in RDP Windows 2012 and Ubuntu Linux

    Computer 1. Windows Server 2012 Std with RDP Terminal Server
    Computer 2. Ubuntu Linux 13.04 with RDP client Remmina and HP LaserJet 1020 Printer
    Computers isn't located in one local network. When I connected to the Windows by RDP - I couldnt see any printers (e.g. HP LJ 1020). What should I do to make visible my printers when I connect thru Remmina to Windows 2012 Server? May be add some components
    or roles? By the way, when I use Windows 7 to connect to Server 2012, I could see my printer like Remote Desktop Easy Print.
    Windows Server 2012 и клиент на Ubuntu не находятся в одной локальной сети, поэтому подключить принтер из под терминальной сессии по локальной сети не получится. Нужно прокидывать принтер с Ubuntu в терминальную сессию через RDP. Так вот,
    если я подключаюсь из под Windows 7, то принтер виден, Easy Print отрабатывает нормально, а если из под Ubuntu, то нет ни одного принтера. Как я понял, это особенность Windows 2012, то что они отключили там устаревшие компоненты, потому
    что подключаюсь к Windows 2008R2 и там принтер из Ubuntu виден.

    (SOLVED) Problem with printer redirection between Ubuntu Linux 12.04 and Windows 2012R2
    Server - Windows 2012R2 
    Clients - Linux Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 
    RDP client - Remmina Remote Desktop Client (Stable release: 1.0.0). 
    It turned out that for some strange logic in the connection settings to the server in the RDP client - Remmina must specify sound "local". 
    Then Printer redirection works and print remotely without problems.

  • Weird Shimmering Display Under Arch and Ubuntu Linux on GT72-QE with GTX 980M

    Just bought one of these laptops to run CUDA applications while on the road and all went smoothly until I installed Linux and then activated X (Gnome/Unity/XFCE).  I first noticed this under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and the behavior is the same Ubuntu 14.10 LTS, 12.04 LTS, and even Arch Linux.  In all cases, I used the 346.59 NVIDIA display driver either obtained through the Edgers PPA or manually installed.
    What I'm seeing is  The laptop display shimmering as if the horizontal sync is slightly off.  External displays look fine.
    I've updated the BIOS of the laptop to the 10R version from March and that had no effect.
    Has anyone gotten this thing to work under Linux (any linux distro) with the discrete GPU active?  If so, how?

    Another guy here with the same problem. We have to create a platform of users. We have spent a lot of money on our equipment; we deserve some quality costumer support. The problem is clear and the solution seems straightforward. It would not take a lot to fix our situation, but we need to team up.
    MSI GT72 Dominator GTX 970M with FREEDOS
    Now Dual Booting Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 15.04
    Nouveau driver is stable, but does not do the job. Nvidia-346 makes the screen flicker. Switching to integrated graphics (through windows) ubuntu runs perfect. I have tried everything during the last weeks.
    I am new to the forum and I have very little time for myself; somebody please take the lead. It wouldn't be the first time I see costumers getting together and achieving support.

  • EFI partition deleted after removal of dual boot of OSX10.8 and Ubuntu/Linux Mint - using rEFIt

    so, i recently installed ubuntu to check out the advances in the linux world since i last looked into them 10+ years ago... very impressed, but when i tried to delete ubuntu and remove the various partitions (which i was able to do just fine using gparted) reFIT still displayed the **** linux logo from the install i deleted....
    OSX still boots fine... a install of Linux Mint i have on another partition(s) still boots fine ... everything appears to work... but i want to know what the possible issues are so i can be prepared...
    this is frustrating...
    so i went in and looked around with the remaining partitions and noticed the EFI partition which hadn't shown before i mistakenly tried to install another distro over ubuntu after wiping the partition it was on...
    so i erased the EFI partition hoping that this would remove the g-damned hold out linux boot logo in reFIT... it didn't... now i suppose i can go back in and create a new EFI partition through gparted but that stupid linux logo will still be there... and i'll have another problem of getting the proper information back onto the EFI partition, which i am unsure of how to do, or where to even dig up the proper information...
    i want to edit my boot mbr or grub or whatever the eff apple comps use as a boot record so that (or i am using as a boot record since i'm using reFIT) to get rid of this **** logo, so i can install another distro of linux and probably windows without having the **** supernumerary logo...
    i would rather not wipe the whole drive (aka the primary partition the recovery partition) and do a fresh new install of os x (mountain lion) because i have OSX set up just the way i want it for personal use and work use... all my various tools and so on...
    i don't use time machine and can't do a "restore" from a previous back up...
    some one please help me out here, what are my options? am i going to have to bite the bullet and do a wipe of the entire drive and all its partitions to get my MBP back to 'normal'???

Or if I need to use GPT or MBR?
    Your disk is already partitionned so you don’t have to choose between GPT or MBR, the choice is already made.
    You don’t partition “C:”, that is the name of a Windows partition. You partition a drive.
    Grub or syslinux, use whatever the beginners guide tells you to. Personally I think syslinux is simpler which is why I’m using it (but I’m not dual-booting, if that matters).
    You’re not saying what your problem is with partitionning, so it’s hard to help.
    Thanks for getting back to me, I'm not sure if I just create one large partition for Archlinux or if I have to create multiple? Where I'm also confused is with the Creating Filesystems part of the guide. I don't understand how I'd do this in Windows, or what /dev/sda1 is referring to.
    As for the bootloader part, the Beginner's Guide gives you a choice between syslinux and grub, what I'm not sure about is which to use considering I'm dualbooting. How it will affect my windows bootloader, do I disregard that and use GRUB now? I'm unclear on how that works.
    I'm also aware I need to disable Secure Boot, I just searched my BIOS options and couldn't find anything remotely relating to that, so I'm assuming it's not an issue since this computer was originally on Windows 7 anyway?
    Thanks again, Expi.

  • I cannot print from my MAC using a WiFi printer and Airport.  I can print with an IOS device.  Any suggestions, I cannot print from my MAC using a WiFi printer and Airport.  I can print with an IOS device.  Any suggestions

    If you haven't already, I would recommend that you download and install the very latest OS X drivers for this printer from the manufacturer's support site.

  • HT3500 I was using my wifi printer and now it doesn't print from my iPad but prints from my desktop.  The iPad doesn't see the printer though its on the  network it's a brother printer

    Can you tell me what I need to do?

    If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
    Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
    If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
    From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using.  Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using.

  • IPrint app on iPhone 4 cant see WiFi printer HP D110

    bought and correctly installed HP D110 wifi printer and wirelessly configured to two windows pc's in my home - working fine. i have HP iPrint 3.0 on my iPhone 4 and when i try to print a photo from the iPhone 4 it says no printers available. the iPhone 4 is on the same home wireless network as the D110 printer. Help!!

    I would check to see if the printer has an update this should fix the issue.   If you go to the printers display you should see a wrench icon, select this then go to preferences and ok, then scoll down to product updates and ok.  It will go and look for an update and then will install....let me know if that works.

  • VMM 2012 R2 Error (10637) Ubuntu Linux (64 bit)

    When I try to change the properties of my VM to "Ubuntu Linux (64 bit)" I get the Error (10637) saying it's not supported...
    VMM 2012 R2 and the Hyper-V server is Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
    I found a bunch of articles about RedHat and changing the OSFlags value in the table tbl_IL_OS however none of them say what those flags are / do or why set it to THAT value. I've also found a few other blogs about other OSes and different values. I'd rather
    not guess what the correct value should be...
    The actual VM is Ubuntu Server 13.10 but I'm not sure that matters?

    Hello,
    This issue relates to the way Operating Systems are flagged for Hypervisor support in the DB (the OSFlags as you mentioned).  Ubuntu Linux 12.04 (32 bit) and Ubuntu Linux 12.04 (64 bit) are flagged as supported by Hyper-V. The Ubuntu Linux
    () entries are flagged as supported by VMware but not Hyper-V.  You could use the Other Linux or Ubuntu Linux 12.04 property.

  • Help connecting printer and tvs on WRT54g v8

    I recently reset my router and settings. My laptop is connected to the internet via wireless, with no problems. However, I am trying to reconnect my wifi printer and tv's, and they will not connect. They pick-up the network, but they say they cannot connect to the access point, or the passphrase is incorrect.
    I have tried to look at the network settings on my linksys easyadvisor, but it is mostly blank or n/a, which it never was before. When I go to 192.168.1.1 it shows the correct passphrase. I have no idea what went wrong here! If someone could please help!

    Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the Linksys router setup page.
    Go to Wireless tab and click on Wireless security sub tab. Make sure that you have the correct network key/passphrase.
    Go to Wireless MAC filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
    Try to connect to the wireless network and see if that works.
    Make sure that firmware on your router is upgraded to the latest.

  • Wifi printer not connected

    MB Pro with Lion 10.7.5 working with Epson Stylus SX535WD was fine with wifi printing and suddenly, from one print job to the next, announces "The printer is not connected".  Works fine from my other MBP running the same software.  I have a feeling there is some file I could trash that would solve the problem but I don't know which one.

    I saw a suggestion right after I posted this that said just delete the printer in preferences and then add it again.  One thing I found out is that I had it in there twice, which may not have helped anything.  Anyway, I deleted both of them then added it in again and without doing anything else that solved the problem.  Thanks for replying.

  • Suspending a w2100z running Ubuntu linux

    I have several w2100z with the latest BIOS updates and Ubuntu linux (was required by a client). It used to be on an older BIOS version and older linux version, that there was a kernel message on boot that said suspend was not supported on this architecture.
    But now I can actually get the machine to suspend and the power light blinks, but on wake, the machine reboots.
    I was wondering if there was any documentation on how to try to suspend or hibernate this machine. It would be very useful. I haven't been able to find any information or clue searching and also searching about the K85AE motherboard. These are great machines, we have several of them, but this was always a sore point that we couldn't suspend them.
    Thanks!

    I just tried that and it's still saying the same thing. Any other suggestions?

  • Lexmark Pro805 Prestige (the challenge that is linux wifi printing)

    I know it's a boring topic, but I'd really appreciate help getting printing to work.  I guess it's also a tad bit ironic that the guy whose forum handle is "print" needs printer assistance, but I digress. 
    Who wants to help me make history by being the first to get this all-in-one wireless printer working?    If I do get it to work I promise to do a write up to help others.
    Here's what i've tried so far.
    * I downloaded the .deb including drivers and PPD from lexmark
    * unpacked them in virtualbox running Ubuntu 9.10
    * I copied all the files over to my arch server
    * installed the printer in Cups.
    The print protocol is jetdirect (socket://192.168.1.112:9100), and I can also browse to the built-in HTTP server.  Cups reports the printer as "Idle," and I can send jobs to the cups print queue.  However, it looks like jobs aren't getting sent to the printer.  Of course, integration with my wife's XP box is seamless.
    I'm looking for troubleshooting ideas.  Everything about system-config-printer and cups is so GUIfied that I can't see what's happening at a low level, so to try and diagnose the problem is difficult.
    Some clues:
    The lexmark command line utilities work.  For example,
    # /usr/lexinkjet/lxk09/bin/prnutility -d lex -n 192.168.1.112 -s
    Status: Ready
    This is what it returns when the printer is in sleep mode:
    # /usr/lexinkjet/lxk09/bin/prnutility -d lex -n 192.168.1.112 -s
    Printer Error. The printer cannot communicate with the computer.
    This prints a test page:
    # /usr/lexinkjet/lxk09/bin/prnutility -d lex -n 192.168.1.112 -t
    When I try to run the bundled configuration tool (lexijtools) I get the following:

    EDIT 20100312 1800h CST
    OK, so the java error is normal, or at least harmless/inconsequential.  The lexijtools cats that same message to stderr and then on to /dev/null on ubuntu, which is why I didn't recognize it as normal before.  To verify I commented that out and it prints the same message on ubuntu so that's a red herring.  I think the reason the gui was showing up as a whiteout panel was because I was using awesome window manager instead of gnome and java couldn't find gtk or whatever windowing system it uses.  Then I couldn't start gnome at all because one of the dbus .conf files I copied over from the lexmark blob on ubuntu had too restrictive permissions.  You know it's a bad linux day when installing a printer breaks gnome.
    I found a blog post with some ubuntu-centric info about newer model lexmark printers for any interested parties:  http://thatissopunkrock.org/blog/2010/e … etup-tips/
