DeskJet 4480 - I cannot print label paper. How can I adjust for paper thickness?

Using an HP DeskJet 4480, I cannot print on Avery label paper. It is too thick and the printer doesn't seem to want to pull the paper through. Is there a paper thickness adjustment somewhere on the printer?

Hi,
I don't think due to paper weight (thickness) but papers are too slippery to pull. You know what I mean.
Regards.

Can't print from Mac to DeskJet D1530 over Linksys print server

The print job and printer both hang when trying to print to the DeskJet D1530.
I am using the drivers downloaded directly from HP and specifically for Snow Leopard.
When connected directly via USB, the printer installs itself and prints reliably.
However, this is a shared printer. The Mac has a wireless-G connection to a Linksys router, the router is connected to a Linksys print server via Ethernet. Then the printer is connected via USB to the print server.
I have 2 Windows laptops that print reliably via this configuration.
With the Mac, I configured it to use LPR over the IP address of the print server. It seems to connect to the print server and appears to be communicating with the printer. It even reports the ink levels in the cartridges. But when a print job is sent to the printer, the print status reports "Sending data file (0 bytes)" and the job just hangs unless a "cancel -a" is sent via terminal. It also prevents any other system from printing unless the printer and the print server are power cycled. I have occasionally coaxed a job out of the printer after the print server is power-cycled, however from the Mac's printer status, the job never completes and any subsequent print jobs will hang. I have to reboot the Mac to completely clear the print queue.
I have look online for instructions on configuring the printer, but all of them so far have yielded the same result.
This is not exactly an exotic setup, and it works with Windows systems. What am I doing wrong?

It usually comes as a surprise to Windows users that there are two kinds of print drivers on OS X. The older type are called monolithic drivers because they have everything in one package - postscript interpreter and communication device (USB) driver. With this type, the manufacturer gets to include exactly the components needed for the printer. The driver you got from HP is this type, and it is limited to USB Only.
To do network printing to a USB printer, you need a driver that allows more than just USB direct connection. You need a CUPS driver. One CUPS driver is Gutenprint, included in OS X by Apple. It may not include your model yet.
Get updated Gutenprint or hpijs drivers from:

or a commercial CUPS driver, printfab from:

Trouble printing with my HP Deskjet printer using CUPS and hplip

tl;dr This 1,646 word post describes my frustration with CUPS and hplip. I cannot get my HP Deskjet F4400 set up with CUPS, and all the solutions I've tried don't work.
I'm running Arch Linux ARM on my Seagate DockStar, a small ARM-based "plug computer" that I use as a home server. My printer is the HP Deskjet F4480, which is part of the HP Deskjet F4400 series.
I previously had CUPS set up to share my printer with my home network, using hplip for the printer driver. I never upgraded CUPS or hplip because those versions worked fine, and I didn't want to break anything avoid breaking anything. The versions that I was using had to have been at least one to two years old.
Everything was working very smoothly... until a few days ago. The drive I was running Arch Linux ARM on became corrupt, so I had to install a fresh copy of the operating system. That meant losing all of the working versions and configuration files each application I had installed, including CUPS. I thought I had a backup image of the drive, but it didn't work when I tried to restore it. (Yes, it was stupid of me not to test my backup.)
Setting up CUPS was one of the first things that I wanted to do after reinstalling, since my family depends on the network printing functionality almost daily. Unfortunately, I could not get CUPS to work with my printer correctly. It wouldn't be able to display a list of drivers, HP's setup utility encountered an error adding it, and it threw various errors when I tried to print test pages. I ended up reading hundreds of forum posts, wiki articles, and CUPS/hplip tutorials to try to figure out how to properly set it up. I ended up spending a total of nearly ten hours trying to get the printer to print with CUPS, and it's still not working after all that work.
I'm going to explain in this post some of the many things that I've tried so far. I just removed all of the printing packages from my system and any extra files that were left behind. I'm now going to be installing all of the packages again and documenting everything that I have been trying to do to get it to work. I'll try to include exact error messages and logs where necessary.
1. I first found this article on the Arch Linux ARM website on how to set up a CUPS printer. I didn't really want to use webmin, but I did it anyway so that I could follow the guide. I installed all the packages mentioned except for cups-pdf, since I didn't need print to PDF support. Everything installed smoothly, and I configured CUPS and webmin to allow access to other computers on the network. I started to notice problems in the instructions - /etc/rc.d/cups was actually /etc/rc.d/cupsd, /etc/printers.conf was actually /etc/cups/printers.conf, and webmin didn't actually add anything to the printers.conf file. I uninstalled webmin at this point because I didn't need it, and I decided I wasn't going to follow that guide with incorrect information.
2. I then tried to set up the printer on my own using the CUPS web interface listening on port 631. I clicked the Add Printer button and it switched me to the HTTPS web interface. I then logged into the root account and was presented with the list of printers. My printer was listed as "HP Deskjet F4400 series (HP Deskjet F4400 series)", so I selected it and continued. I saw a list of printer models (PPD files) ending in CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9. There was no entry for my printer, so I tried the "HP DeskJet Series (en)" one. I set the default options and chose Maintenaince->Print test page. I then got a ridiculously simple error: "Unable to print test page: No such file or directory". How do I even know what file or directory it's referencing? I read online that it may be because I'm not in the lp group, but root is indeed in there. I saw in the error log "Avahi client failed: -26". I started dbus and avahi-daemon just in case, but I still got that silly error. I restarted cups and the same error message occured.
3. I researched online that pretty much the only way for my printer to have a driver would be to install hplip. Before installing hplip, I uninstalled CUPS, leaving cupsd.conf but deleting printers.conf. Then I installed CUPS and hplip together, with hplip requiring foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, and foomatic-filters. Everything seemed to install correctly. I started CUPS again and then ran hp-setup -i to try to install my printer. I selected USB and it found my printer, hp:/usb/Deskjet_F4400_series?serial=[printer serial number here]. I entered a simple name and then was told that no PPD file was found for the printer but that I could specify one manually. There were none I could find online; everywhere it just said to install hplip. I used the find command to find "f4400" and finally found 2 compressed PPDs located at /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_f4400_series-hpijs.ppd.gz and /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_f4400_series.ppd.gz. I gunzipped both of them and pointed hpsetup to the hpijs one, knowing that I was using the hpijs one when it was working before. It told me "Description for the file: HP Deskjet f4400 Series hpijs, 3.12.6". Hooray! I selected to use it, but then setup failed: "error: Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again." Ugh!
4. I restarted CUPS and went into the hp-setup process again. It gave me the same printer queue setup failed error. I don't know if these entries in the CUPS error log are related or not, but these errors relating to foomatic showed up. I restarted CUPS again and this time used the non-hpijs file with hp-setup. This one was called "Description for the file: HP Deskjet f4400 Series, hpcups 3.12.6". It failed again with the same error and the same entries in the error log. I found lots of posts online about this error, but none seemed to have a solution that would work for me. Now I tried running hp-setup in debug mode with -g. Here is what it said before the error. I then tried to Google "debug: addPrinter() returned (0, Unable to connect to CUPS server)". I saw on an Arch bug report to install dbus-python and python2-gobject, as well as create a symlink for /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python. It didn't work - same error.
5. I then tried to add the printer to CUPS via its web interface. Now there were two listed, HP Deskjet F4400 series (HP Deskjet F4400 series) and HP Deskjet F4400 series USB [printer serial number here] HPLIP (HP Deskjet F4400 series). So, hplip added the second one. I tried both of them, but after clicking Continue the page started to hang. I got another stupid, undescriptive error. "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success". I saw the same foomatic errors in the error log as before. I then started reading the ArchWiki page on CUPS, located here. I tried the blacklisting usblp. I tried changing the permissions on the device node, although this starts to become ridiculous that it is even required to do that. Nothing was working; the printer installation still didn't work with hp-setup or with CUPS. Then, I found what I was looking for: the exact error I had on the wiki page! It said for "Unable to get list of printer drivers" you should "Try to remove Foomatic drivers." WTF? Foomatic is required for hplip, and hplip is required for my printer. I can't do that. Forum posts say to try that or do the permissions or usblp thing. Nothing is working.
6. I tried various other things to get it to work, even though I knew they probably wouldn't make it any different. I copied the PPDs from hplip to another folder and uninstalled hplip and foomatic. I then added them to /usr/share/cups/model and CUPS successfully found them and set up the printer. I reinstalled hplip and foomatic since they're needed for those PPDs to function, and I tried printing a test page. It failed. I tried using the CUPS web interface to modify the printer driver; nope, that wasn't going to happen: "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success".
That concludes the list of some of the things that I have tried so far. I really want to get this printer working, but right now I am really fed up with CUPS and hplip. It's things like this that make me hesitant to recommend Linux to anyone else. So much manual configuration and tinkering the inner workings of things is required to do tasks that would be quite simple on Windows. For example, I can plug this printer into my Windows 7 machine right now, wait for the driver to automatically be installed and configured, and have a test page in my hands less than a minute after I first plugged in the USB cable. I can share the printer with any other Windows machine on the network by checking a single checkbox.
But back to my problem with getting the printer to work on my DockStar. I just uninstalled all of CUPS, hplip, and foomatic again and removed all of their files. I can walk through things to try that you guys post and then give you full logs of everything - just give me exactly what to do and install and the exact order to do it all in. I just don't know what to do at this point and am so frustrated with this that I'm about to give up.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this printer working? I know this was a very long post, but I just wanted to explain everything that I've tried and how nothing worked. I really hope that we can figure this out so that I'll be able to print, and maybe it'll solve a few other people's problems with their printers, too. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for the help.

Had similar issue with my HP Deskjet F4500C All in one printer, here's what I did:
make sure these packages are installed or install them
pacman -S cups cups-pdf hplip pyqt3 python2-pyqt
pacman -S system-config-printer-gnome
rc.d cups start
To add device and install hp driver:
1. Run ‘hp-setup’ as root.
2. Click ‘Show Advanced Options’ button and check-enable ‘Manual Discovery’.
3. Enter IP address 192.168.59.63 in the ‘…device ID…’ entry and click ‘Next’ to install driver.
run system-config-printer as root, to add printer
# system-config-printer
click “Add”， Select Device -> Network Printer -> input the IP address of the printer such as “192.168.1.3″, click “Find” -> “Process”
you should be ok from here, if not some further steps:
If you encounter the following error:
File “/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py”, line 1531, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel
debugprint (host + “: ” + args)
TypeError: cannot concatenate ‘str’ and ‘list’ objects
You should comment out the error line at 1531 of newprinter.py, and then continue to add the printer.
4). Finally, you can run hp-check to see what problems exists for the printer.

I would like to download rosetta but I lost my installer disc

Hello I own a MacBook Pro with operating system 10.6.8. I just got an OKI C5500n color printer from a friend and could not install it in my Mac. After reading posts, I would need to download Rosetta but I lost my installer disc. Do you know if I can download Rosetta online and will not mess my MacBook?
Thanks
Cyrilla

I would ignore all of Courcoul's posts on that thread. They are dated and somewhat misleading and confusing.
Also Snow Leopard's retail price is now down to $20 and available for purchase online:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Yes, there is a date sometime in 2010 that all Macs required a version of Snow Leopard that is greater than the one offered on the retail disc (10.6.3). Call Apple (800-SOS-APPL) with your model and serial number and find out if you need a "replacement" Snow Leopard disc (about $17) instead of the retail version.

How to get bonjour to work on a wag120n router so ipad can print wireless to hp deskjet 3070A

Does anyone know of a fax to to get bonjour to work on a wag120n router so my ipad can see and print wireless to hp deskjet 3070A. I can reach the home page of the HP printer from the ipad using safari but the printer doesn't come up as an airprinter option. I have a PC laptop (not apple) and it can print wireless to the HP 3070A.
I have logged on to the wag120n and it has firmware V1.00.16
I can't see any multcast options within the admin setup.
Any clues ? thanks for your time.

I have looked for multicast options/filter within the admin function on the router but can NOT see any. I have contacted CISCO directly and they have confirmed that this router will NOT do it, and they have no intention on bringing out a fix. If someone has got it to work, let me know. thanks for your time. Andrew

Printing Problems with HP DeskJet

Hello,
I'm having problems printing to my HP DeskJet 882C. Supposedly, it is supported by the new HP Intel drivers but every time I go to print, the text comes out oddly stretched, overlapping, or cut in half. Sometimes, particularly when printing from Final Draft, the printer just stalls (at Opening Printer Connection).
I've tried reinstalling the HP drivers from the original Install DVD (for the MacBook Pro)...no love so far.

I have a DeskJet 840C bought late 2001, that I was using with a Toshiba Satellite laptop running under Windows XP Home Edition.
I bought recently a Mac Mini 1,66 GHz Intel Core Duo, and I connected the HP840C to it with USB; I have no network.
When I try to print either a Word document or a web page, I get funny print outs, sometimes not readable at all, sometimes only few lines on a page then it goes to next page, sometimes font are stretched vertically.
I downladed an up-todate driver from HP site, and now my printer runs the Mac with Gimm-Print v 5,0,0 beta 2.
But still no improvement.
Who can help me?
Thank you
Mac Mini 1,66 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Help! Lost my installation CD for my 0404 USB. Urgent! Help needed please!

Hi all,
Please could someone send me or provide a link to the installation drivers for the 0404 USB for Windows XP? I am really desparate and have looked EVERYWHERE I can think of on the internet with no luck.
History:
I reorganised the cabling around my PC, and in doing so, somehow my USB hub seems to have stopped working. When I plugged my 0404 directly into a USB hub on the PC it didn't recognise it. So I thought I'd uninstall and reinstall the software. Then I realised I had lost my installation CD, and then found that E-MU / Creative websites don't have the original installation drivers that come on the CD on their website. This has completely warped my feelings about this company in one fell swoop. Having been very happy for prob 2 years with the E-MU 0404 to find that they have seemingly intentionally left off these drivers from their site and therefore wasted probably 2 hours of my time in the last 24 hours is maddeningly frustrating.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
David

I have never used driver installation found in original E-MU 0404 CD but only the installation you can download from E-MU support pages (remember allow firmware upgrade as well).jutapa

Solved printer installation problem – "error-user-request-value-too-long"

A discussion in July 2006 left the problem of printer installation unsolved. My contacts with Apple Support have also led to frustration for everyone.
Whenever I have tried to install any printer I end up with the error message:
"error-user-request-value-too-long".
Luckily I discovered the shareware program "Printer set up repair" on Versiontracker. It worked wonders in 5 minutes. Now everything is fully functioning. It also provides an extremely useful log-file telling you which (often hidden) files that are missing or damaged.
Address: www.fixamacsoftware.com/software
Phew!

Well, I tried all of that and I'm still getting the error message. I've also repaired disk permissions and run Disk Warrior. When I repaired disk permissions, many HP printer items showed up in the list.
