My HP 8600 is connected to a wireless network and won't print from MacBook Pro.

There is an error message that appears in printer status screen that says spool area is full. I cannot find what this means or any way to resolve it.

Try reboot the MacBook, if that doesn't help, you have to manually clean the spool, google "MacBook Pro clean spool" or post the version of OS X so someone can get you the steps.

HP Photosmart 7515 says it is connected to wireless network but won't print from anywhere.

My HP photosmart 7515 used to work on my network. I could print from iphones and my mac mini. Now it says its connected, it has the IP address 10.0.1.3 and everything on the HP network configuration page says it is functioning normally, but the printer can't be reached by any device and I can't open it in my browser when I type the IP address into it. I've tried powering it down and unplugging it but at this point I am at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that I ran a Mackeeper fast cleanup of extraneous files recently and perhaps something was removed that needed to stay. I don't know. I tried installing the HP utility for Mavericks (my current operating system on the Mini) but that can't find the printer. I tried typing in the IP address manually but that didn't work either.
When I try to connect to it through eprint it says that it is connected but says there is a problem with the printer. What's the problem? It says it is unspecified and to see printer front panel for information on resolving the issue. Where on the front panel? I have no idea.
Happy to start from the beginning but this is really becoming a pain. Why doesn't it work?
Help! David

FIrst of all, get rid of Mackeeper, it will cause more problems that it will solve. To uninstall it, open it and have it uninstall itself, then restart your Mac.
Have you restarted your router? What router are you using?

HT2250 I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.

Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

Some updates and clarifications:
1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

Netctl fails to connect to a wireless network and does not give detail

If I try to connect to a wireless network (WEP, DHCP) using netctl I get "Jon for netctl@wlp2s0\x2dnetworkname.service failed." and two commands (journalctl -xn and systemctl status ...) that should give details about the error.
However, both of them give the following lines:
oct 05 14:44:25 laptop network[422]: Starting network profile 'wlp2s0-networkname'...
oct 05 14:44:30 laptop network[422]: Failed to bring the network up for profile 'wlp2s0-networkname'
oct 05 14:44:30 laptop systemd[1]: netctl@wlp2s0\x2dnetworkname.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

oct 05 14:44:30 laptop systemd[1]: Unit netctl@wlp2s0\x2dnetworkname.service entered failed state.
Just one line saying that it was trying to connect and four lines repeating the same thing (connecting failed), but it does not give any detail at all.
The netctl profile is:
Interface=wlp2s0
Connection=wireless
Security=wep
ESSID=networkname
IP=dhcp
Key=\"hex-password

If you look at the netctl.profile man page, it explains some special quoting rules at the end. The literal double-quote (or escaped double-quote) actually just results in a non-quoted string when passed from netctl to the underlying supporting software. This is apparently necessary if the WEP key is in hexadecimal.

Wireless printing from MacBook Pro to MacBook through Linksys?

I have a MacBook connected to an Epson printer. Our Internet connection is through a Linksys WRT54G router.
My son just got a MacBook Pro. Both machines are running Leopard.
Can he print wirelessly from the MB Pro through my MacBook connected to the printer? I've got print sharing turned on in both machines, but I can't find any other documentation that tells me how to do this. I've searched and can't find my set up listed there - I see lots of Window to Mac, print servers, Airport Extreme questions. It's so simple, however, that I must have missed it - so forgive me if this has been answered before.

Patricksgolden:
I have this same setup with a G5 connected to a home network and a linksys wireless router that I connect a new MacBook Pro and my daughter connects a dell laptop. I have two printers connected to the G5 which runs Tiger. I turned on print sharing as indicated by apple documentation. This did not work. I reviewed all the postings on printing using leopard and found the following posting very helpful.
OS X 10.5 client and NON-OS X CUPS server: adding printers, solved.
What I did was update the local CUPS configuration file by going to http://localhost:631/ and editing the configuration file based on the above posting. Then I rebooted by Mac. The printers then appeared in the systems preferences default option. However they still did not work.
Finally I added them manually using the IP option and the LPD selection with the G5 IP address. Make sure you put in the print queue name. The only other change I needed to make was to use the Generic Postscript driver instead of the Epson driver(RX500). It then started to print. Using the Epson driver sent it to the printer however it completed without printing.
I hope this helps. I know it is not the step by step instructions, however if you look at the above thread there is more detail.

Envy5532 - both PC and printer connect to WiFi router/network, but can't print from PC : (

I have a new Envy 5532 and I want to print from my Windows 7 Pro PC via my wireless network/internet router.
The PC is connected wirelessly to the internet through the router. The printer connects to the router/network without any problem. The printer also connects DIRECTLY to the PC wirelessly, and I can print from the PC if I disconnect from the router/WiFi network.
So the router comes up as a network on the PC, and the printer comes up as a different network. But I can only print through the direct connection, which means I can only print, not scan. Also, it means I have to disconnect from the internet in order to print.
I have run all diagnostics, installed the drivers, etc. but it seems to be a dead end.
Any advise? Many thanks.

Hi @DrivenDementet,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you cannot print from your PC to your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help you with your printing!
Please see the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7. (This guide will help you get online and printing).
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. (This guide will help you maintain the connection).
On top of the guides, I would also recommend this website, HP Wireless Printing Center, as there is some good information on wireless printing.
it is also very important with wireless printing that the PC and the Printer are on the same wireless network, otherwise they will not be able to talk to each other.
Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

Wireless Printer not printing from MacBook Pro

I bought a new MacBook Pro, which came with a HP Deskjet 3050 wireless printer. The printer works ok on my home wireles network. I can print from all my PCs, but not the Apple stuff. My MacBook shows the printer on the System Preferences, but shows it not connected. My IPad does not even show the printer. How can I get it to work? P.S. Apple is reputed to be easy, but it took less than one minute on Windows 7.

You may need to install the latest printer drivers from HP:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Then set up your printer: System Preferences>Print & Scan.

My deskjet 3050 says it is connected to the wireless network but will not print unless wirelessly

my deskjet 3050 all in one j610 printer will not print wirelessly even tho it says it is connected to the network.
It will only print when connected by usb cable.

Download and run this utility:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/ccdoc/p...

Wireless Printing from MacBook Pro and Windows 7 laptop through iMac

I have looked everywhere I can think and have not found a solution to this problem:
I just bought a 21.5" iMac and a Windows 7 laptop. I already had a 15" Macbook Pro.
I have an HP C5280 printer that is now connected via USB to the iMac. All computers use my wireless home network using a Netgear N wireless router.
I cannot figure out how to print wirelessly from either the MacBook or laptop through the iMac. Printer software is installed on all computers and printer sharing is enabled on the iMac.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
In the Finder go to Help>Mac Help. Select the Index, upper right. Go to S>Sharing printers. You will find instructions for configuring Macs and PCs for printer sharing among the articles available.

C309g not finding any wireless networks. Won't print off bluetooth either.

The C309g will not find any networks at all. Even when scanning from the machine and when doing it through the computer setup. Even typed in the SSID but still no link. Bluetooth will connect but will not communicate once I unplug the USB cord.

So when I restart the machine I can get the bluetooth light on and my computer to recognize it, but it still will not print. The device remains unconnected in the bluetooth setting on my computer. After that I will try and play with it again, but this time the only option in bluetooth settings is to activate the bluetooth radio and even though I hit On the blue light still doesn't come on.
As far as the wireless network, is there any tests I can run to test my radio or do I just have to take it back to best buy? Is it a common problem?

Printing from MacBook Pro to a Printer Connected to the USB Port on A MacG5

November 17, 2009
Apple Tells Me: It is completely valid to connect the HP 4360 printer (not wireless) to the USB Port of my MacG5 and print pages from my MacBook Pro if I select Print Share in the Apple Preferences of my MacG5. The MacBook Pro and MacG5 are connected through a Router and a wired Local Area Network through a Router.
HP Tells Me: Since the D4360 is not a wireless printer and since it is not supported to print from a MacBook Pro on the same wired local area network also connected to a MacG5 computer. In particular, they said that use of the Print Share option on the MacG5 to print from the MacBook Pro will cause damage to the HP D4360 printer or print driver and when this occurs it will invalidate the warranty on the HPD4360.
Questions:
1. Is there any validity to the HP answer on this subject??
My analysis to date says that the Apple statement is 100% true, with the exception that if the driver is damaged it can be restored without any damage to the printer.
2. Is there any documentation of the HP concern?

Is there any validity to the HP answer on this subject?
No. It's very difficult for any software to damage a hardware component, and on the rare case the driver becomes damaged, which is also highly unlikely, it won't affect the printer's warranty.

In order to sell my macbook air I cleaned and reauthorized everything. In rebooting to reset the original OSX (Mountain lion), it is not recognizing the wireless network and won't reboot. Yosemite was installed prior to cleaning the machine.

I cleaned and reauthorized my macbook air for resale. But I had upgraded to Yosemite before deciding to sell. (I bought a new machine). When I went to reboot it it asked for my authorization, and in order to bypass this I reset the internet connection. Now it won't recognize the wireless internet (I tried resetting the internet and even tried signing on as guest---?! was the symbol that produced). I did notice that when I upgraded my system, it recognized my computer as a macbook pro, not a macbook air. I also have a pro and wonder if the wrong operating system was installed in my macbook air and that's why it's giving me grief. I need to sell this computer and need to be able to reboot it to show. HELP!

You should follow these guidelines when preparing a Mac for sale:
http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-prepare-your-mac-for-sale/
In your situation, try this: Boot the MBA with the OPTION + COMMAND + R keys down.
The result should be a display of a revolving globe.
By following the instructions, you will be connected to the Apple servers.
Erase the SSD and you will be able to install the original OSX, Lion.
When completed, that should allow you to sell the unit.
Note: you will need a solid Internet connection.
Ciao.

HT1695 Ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday, but MacBook Pro still finds and uses these networks.

Our ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday. Our Mac Book Pro finds them and uses them.
we have reset the cable modem and wireless router, turned off the ipad and turned it back on. Turned wireless off and back on.
but it just spins trying to find networks but finds none.
What do do next?

Settings for wireless network connections are actually stored in two separate places on your Mac, so in addition to the correct advice offered by Jolly Giant, you will also need to delete old network listings in KeyChain Access.
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Locate the name of the wireless network that you want to delete and click it to highlight it
Click Delete on your keyboard
It would be a good idea to go ahead and also delete the current connection as well in case it has become corrupted. This will clear out the old settings and when you next connect to the network and enter the password, the new settings will be preserved.

Cannot print from macbook pro to printer connected to vista pc

My window PC broke and I changed it. My new PC runs window vista 64 bit. My new printer, connected to my new PC, is a HP Deskjet F4480. I have 4 PCs in the house. All PCs can print on my HP printer thru my home network EXCEPT MY MACKBOOK PRO that, for unknown reasons, cannot see the printer. My macbook pro runs mac os X version 10.6.1 (the new mac leopar). I call apple support. They are telling me that they cannot support me because they dont know anything about windows. Can someone help me?
