Hi steveflash,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP LaserJet 2300 Printer series is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP LaserJet 2300 Printer series support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

My photosmart 5510 says online but won't print-message says unable to communicate with printer

My printer says it's connected wirelessly, my computer says the printer is connected, all tests say it's connected wirelessly but when I go to print it says
Unable to communicate with printer - printer unavailable or not connected.... might need to update IP address
The only way to reconnect it is to turn off router and then back on again, but I have to do this every time I leave the printer for more than a few minutes.
Any help gratefully received before the thing goes through the window!

It sounds like the printer may be having a difficult time communicating on the network since rebooting the router seems to help.
What brand and model is the router?
Do you know if your network uses WEP or WPA security?
What operating system does the computer use? This will be good to know if any steps need to be performed from the computer.

Printer is Connected to Wireless but Won't Print

I've tried restarting (both the iMac computer running Maverick 10.9.4 and the Photosmart Premium 310 printer) Tried deleting and reinstalling the printer. It passes all the diagnostics. It prints things from the web apps on the keypad. It was working fine last night and now will print nothing from the computer. I cannot figure out what to do next.

Hi AngieOli,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when attempting to print from your Mac.
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.
I am also going to give you two documents. The first one gives instructions on How to reset the printing system.
The second document is for how to Repair disk permissions.
Please let me know how you make out and if you have any othe questions, please feel free to write back at any time.
Cheers,

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi, it's not clear... did you Rest the Printing system on the Mac?
10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8 instructions...
In System Preferences>Fax & Print, Right click or Control+click on the Printers list Sidebar, choose Reset Printing System.
if you hold option and click the "-" tab it resets the printing system.

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.

Airport Card finds network and says connected but won't let me on internet!

My airport is on and finds a network, shows full strength of signal (like it's done for the past 8 months). But it has stopped letting me onto the internet. Safari and Mail hang and say they are not connected. If I go ahead and plug the ethernet cable in (from same network) it starts up fine. I live in a hotel and have done the same thing for 8 months, why today would it start doing this? Can anyone help. This is my first mac and I haven't the foggiest how to deal with this. I've turned airport off, restarted, turned it back on etc. It always finds a signal and says it's ready, but won't let me onto the internet. Thanks for any help you have.

Is the internet service also password protected? (As in, do you need a password for both the wireless and for the internet connection?) If so, then when you run the "assist me" option you should set up a PPP connection. That's my situation but I still have problems with it remembering my settings after rebooting or disconnecting...

My computer recignizes my pixma 6000, but won't print, help

i have checked for drivers on the cannon wed site and was told there is no driver for my mac. the printer is recognized by the computer and is listed as hardware but won't print. Any suggestions ????

There is nothing you can do if there is no printer driver available.
You can check Gutenprint Supported Printers for a driver if they have one.

My canon 5320 has ink but won't print on mac os 10.7.5

my canon 5320 has ink but won't print on mac os 10.7.5

Hi olschoolmike_1,
To try and resolve the issue, you will want to confirm that the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly by printing a nozzle check pattern from the printer. If the pattern does not print correctly, we recommend performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer to try and get the ink to print.. To print the nozzle check pattern and perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located here. If you still experience difficulty after performing the cleanings, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

I can see the pictures in Events in iPhoto, but I can't open them. When I right click on an Event it just says Edit, but won't open all the pictures in Events. It used to open, but something is wrong. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi Terence,
I got your note and was able to complete the first part, but when I came to Finder, Go To Folder and I typed in both /var/db/receipts/ and /private/var/db/receipts all I get is NOT FOUND message. I tried several times, but no luck.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

Hi, I used the Mac setup instructions, not the PC ones. The printer was automatically recognised in print and scan when I connected it with a USB cable. I accessed the server's web-based page and followed all the instructions, but still no joy. Thanks for the tip about posting. I have just posted in the section you suggested, so let's see what happens. From a quick scan around the apple forums, lost of other people seem to having precisely the same problem (and not just with HP printers!), but unfortunately, no-one seems to be offering a solution! And trying to get through to the apple online support is a complete waste of time. They've been 'not available' for two days now. Christmas/New Year shutdown, I suppose. Thanks for all your help, though!

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. Wireless commands from my computer to printer work

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. I've disconnected and reconnected printer, turned iPad off and on. My computer communicates well wirelessly with the printer. Troubleshoot further?

I would try a hard reset on the iPad.
To do so, hold both the home button and sleep button down at the same time.
Keep holding them until the device restarts and you see the Apple logo.
Once you see the Apple logo, you can go ahead and release the buttons.
Once the iPad is booted back up, try to print to your 7510 again.
Let know if that helps resolve your issue or not.
Best of luck,
Kyle

Bug: Keynote says install but won't

bug: I already owned copies of iWorks. In the store, Keynote says install but won't-nothing happens when you click on the install button.There was no problem with Numbers or Pages which installed smoothly.

I already owned copies of iWorks.
Previously owned copies of iWork cannot be opted into the MAS. You will need to purchase the MAS versions.

The black ink cartridge is not empty but won't print.

On my Photosmart Plus B10, the black ink will not print. I was using an HP size 564 XL cartridge and I could hear the ink in it, so it wasn't empty. I cleaned the printhead and when that didn't work, I installed a new cartridge. Still won't print. The other three cartridges function properly. Willl I need to replace my printer because of this problem?

Hi, is the printer in warranty? If not, one thing worth a shot is soaking the printhead as described below....
1) Get a pan and put 1/2" of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
2) Next remove all the ink cartridges, then remove the printhead assembly.
3) Gently put the printhead nozzles down in the water and let it soak for five minutes.
4) Remove the printhead and gently dry the electrical contacts.
5) Put the printhead back in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.
