LaserJet m1212nf networking - how to get the printer seen in a network?

I have a LaserJet Pro M1212nf, which does not have wireless capability.  I am on a desktop PC, Windows 7, and am hooked up with a USB cable from the computer to the printer. There are no other Windows 7 computers on this network, so until now I have not needed this capability. 
I have spent an hour trying to figure out how to be able to print from my iPad using Airprint, which does come with this printer.
The printer is shared, which I thought was enough, but apparently not. I have found instructions on using a wireless printer, which this is not, and using an ethernet connection, which I am not, but nothing on direct USB connection. I have found instructions on changing from a USB connection to an ethernet connection - is this what I need to do? I'm hoping someone can help with this.
Do I need to change from USB to ethernet to be able to be seen on the computer network and by the iPad? There has to be a way to do this, but I'm stumped.
Thank you.
This question was solved.

You should be able to install the printer with the normal software using an Ethernet connection to your router. 
To start out sounds like this is a driver issue. I want to start with being sure that the removal of the software and reinstallation happened in the best possible fashion. I want you to follow my steps so I can be sure that we are both starting on the same page.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
find and install the FULL FEATURE SOFTWARE if it is available :

Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

PS this software should include the option of installing via USB and then converting it to wireless via the USB>> Wireless setup wizard.

    There is quite a bit of data that is stored in the System Properties. Run this little test app and it'll display all of the System Properties, what you are looking for may be contained in there:
    public class Test {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.getProperties().list(System.out);

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

  • How  to  get the print  status

    Hi  all
    After  the  output  is  displayed  with  ALV ,I  have  the  following   requirement
    A status field will be found at the end of the row and will reflect the current status of the print documents.  After printing occurs, the screen should refresh and processing status reflected to show post-print status.  The user will then be able to see what documents printed immediately.  Any documents that did not successfully print will need to be reprinted through the .PDF files stored in the shared directory.
    I  am  unable  to   proceed  further
    Pointers  would  be  helpful
    Thanks  in  advance
    Regards
    Nikhil

    Nikhil,
    Try going through this table TSP02L.It may give you some lead.
    As well as go to  DD02T table and  give  as spool in DDTEXT field so that you will be able to see all the spool related tables.

  • How to get the print the page numbers in a report  based on another report

    Hi
    I have a requirement in which i need to print the page number based on another report
    example my request set has 3 reports
    1 report prints 1- 100 pages
    2 report page number should start from 101 - 110
    3 report 111-
    Can anyone please let me how to achieve this?
    Thx in advance
    Kumar

    Hi,
    You can create all the three report queries in one report creating separate query in the data model and then create the layout in proper sequence as required.
    If you want to use separate reports only you might try the following:
    In the first report use the after-report trigger and save the total no of pages in a table as a record.
    In the second report fetch the value stored in the table and add it to the Page No. to obtain the Page No for second report.
    Also in the second report use the after-report trigger and update the record created in first record to total no of pages + total no of pages of the first report.
    In the third report fetch the value stored in the table and add it to the Page No. to obtain the Page No for third report.
    Do remember to delete the record created in the table after-report trigger of the third report.
    Hope this helps.
    Best Regards

  • How do I get the printer to work with AirPort?

    I have had my printer connected via USB cable to the AirPort for a while, but recently when I had to disconnect the printer for some home improvement, I ended up with problems.
    Upon reconnecting the printer to the AirPort, I started receiving this message:
    USB Power
    A device connected to this Apple Wi-Fi base station's USB port requires more power than this Apple Wi-Fi base station can provide.  Plug the device into a power supply if possible, or connect it to a powered USB hub.
    My printer is connected to a power source, but I still cannot print to it.  I can see the printer when I send something to be printed, but it will not actually print.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my printer to work again?

    Thanks for the detail. The dash separates the "main" and "guest" network.
    There are a number of settings that are 2.4 GHz on both networks. The only time the dash separates 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz is on the last 3 settings.
    Since the printer specifications available on the HP site show it is a b/g device only, I suspect that the printer does not like the current guest setting of 802.11 b/g/n you are currently using, which is also what it would be if the AEBS was set on Automatic.
    Try the following setting:
    802.11n only 5 GHz - 802.11 b/g
    It's really the only choice that would keep the 5 GHz that you want on the "main" network and possibly allow the printer to connect. Unfortunately, the optimal choice for range and speed is not the setting that you may need to work with the printer.
    If the printer still won't connect, I would call it a day and when it comes time for a new printer, look first for an ethernet device or at least an "n" device that will handle 5 GHz if you want a wireless printer. The advantage of an ethernet printer would be that it would also work over your wireless.
    Please post back on your findings.

    You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.
