My hp photosmart c4680 wont print on network

i set up the printer on one computer (it prints fine from there) i then shared it over the local network. when i try to print from one of the other computers it says printing, the computer it is connected to says printing and so does the printer. but nothing prints help!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sharing printers is, well, difficult and only shares the print function, not the scan function.
Since this printer has wireless built-in, why not connect it to your wireless network for all computers to share its print and scan functions?

  • HP Photosmart D110a wont print from HP Pav dv7 laptop, getting weird error msg - can anyone help??

    Im running on a Windows Visa Home Premium OS, looks like Service Pack 2, and have not made any system changes to my laptop or upgraded anything recently.
    Was able to print fine from my laptop on Monday, but 3 days later Im getting this error message: ""the job failed to print due to an error in the printing system" when trying to print a standard MS Word doc.
    I can still get the printer to print fine by using the control panel on the unit itself and requesting to "Run a Wireless Network Test" and also when I've requested a "Print Status Report", "Print Quality Report", etc.  But when sending files from the laptop it refuses to work.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know - desperate to get this thing back up online but unfortunately Im a tech idiot and havent been able to solve it yet, though Ive searched for hours now it seems.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer!

    It looks like this was duplicate post as your post was marked as solved.

    You're very much right. There are several different companies that make software that allows you to print directly to the CD/DVD. The link below will take you to a list of those software packages. Hope that helps.

  • Photosmart C4680 not printing

    While installing the latest driver for the C4680, at some stage one can print a test page and that one comes out just right. Good, full colors and all. When printing the default Windows Test Page it will only print the heading ('Windows Printer Test Page'), very faintly and the the rest remains blank, though judging the sounds the printer makes, printer heads are moving as if it is printing.
    Printing some text from a Windows application such as Word, same thing, it appears to be printing but all I get is a blank piece of paper.
    As the test page from HP is printing fine, I don't understand why it won't print from Windows apps.
    New cartridges, proper Windows 7 64bit driver - I am lost.
    Help anyone?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @robblue58 ,
    I read about the print quality issues that you are having with your Photosmart C4680 and I wanted to drop by to offer my suggestion to you.
    I hope this helps and wish you good luck!
    Click this link and try these steps:

  • Photosmart 6515 Wont Print Black Ink

    I too am having the same problem as everyone else.  I have had 3 printer from HP and always bragged about how good they are...All of a sudden 2 of the 3 went bad...the HP 6515 wont print the black ink, as well as the  Photosmart B209.
    I spent over $100 on ink for both of these and they wont print...I tried all the little suggestions.
    This will be my last HP when the new one I purchased a few months back goes out.  I think that is why they are $100 machines...they only last 1 year and you have to go buy a new one...
    Very dissapointed!!!

    The post here may help resolve the black not printing issue with your Photosmart b209a printer.  
    I have asked for an HP Support agent to take a look at your Photosmart 6515 case.

  • Wireless photosmart 5520 wont print black

    Printer wont print in black ink only. Have reset several times. Cleaned printhead. Diagnostic shows colors fully but 4 small stripes of black. Help!

    Hi Margaretmarie4,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues with your Photosmart 5520 and printing in black ink only. I will certainly do my best to help
    I will suggest that you begin with following the steps within this Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages document. Those steps should be able to get the black ink flowing properly again.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, please let me know whether the printer is still under warranty or not and what country you're located in. Please feel free to private message me the country information if you'd like to keep it off the forums!

  • HP Photosmart C4600 wont print using Airport Extreme

    I recently purchased my MacBook Pro and accessories and my HP printer wont print. It would add to my printers under Airport Express yet wouldnt print anything out.( Always said 'locating printer') I've read other suggestions and none seemed to help or supported my printer. HELP ME!! : )

    Is the AirPort Extreme model a newer rectangular model, or an older
    orb-shaped 54M model with built-in modem, antenna jack & USB port?
    Some printers don't appreciate the courtesy extended them by the
    great AirPort Extreme's ability to connect various brands via USB
    which otherwise would not be supported wirelessly.
    I have an HP (all-in-one) that will not work as a USB wireless printer
    via the AirPort Extreme (or AirPort Express) base station's USB. Yet
    a slightly older Epson Photo printer will print satisfactorily through the
    USB port in AirPort wireless base station models. The only failing, in
    that situation, is lack of printer Utility function; it works only by wire.
    Some printers are not supported in the grand scheme of things, in
    regard to USB printing from the AirPort's USB port. However for
    years prior to Time Machine and other official hardware support for
    wireless connections to external hard disk drives, USB 2.0 HDDs
    (storage) were supported by the orb-shaped AirPort Extreme base.
    However, that's another topic...
    I was unable to find a different driver from HP to aid in USB support
    over wireless, per the AirPort base station. Other drivers, such as
    those from http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php didn't,
    when it came to my HP OfficeJet printer. Not sure about later ones.
    The Epson model I have uses Bonjour printing to be seen by the AEBS.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HP Printer 1606DN Wont print on Network

    I have installed an HP Laserjet 1606DN on my network but can not print to it. I can ping and get to the web interface but no printing.
    If I put the printer on to a small switch with a laptop the printer works.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi paulplatyp
    I understand you can access the embedded web server for the printer but you can't print but when the printer is connected to a small switch with a laptop the printer works.
    The printer should be connected with a ethernet cable and going directly into a router. (not a switch)
    Make sure the printer isn't in a error state.
    Print off a new configuration page.

    Turn off any firewalls and antivirus software temporarily to test the printer.
    I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor to fix common printing and scanning
    problems.

    You did not go unheard, I see you are unable to print black from your Photosmart 5510. If this is still unresolved, I'd like to help.
    Please complete all of the steps in the following document; Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages. Although I hope this resolves the issue, it might not. If the issue persists, please post back with your warranty status. Use the following link to check your warranty.
    If your printer is still in warranty, please call HP and explain the issue you are experiencing. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
    If your printer is out of warranty, let me know and I will do my best to help. Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.
    Please also include your country/region in your next post. Thanks.

  • Photosmart 5520 wont print

    A few days ago I purchaced hp photosmart 5520, which initially worked fine (although was difficult to instal).
    today when i attempted to print it just wouldnt. my laptop says that the pages that i wanted to print are waiting to print but, its been hours and it still hasnt done anything.
    i assume the printer is working to some degree as i copied a document on it and that worked instantly.
    its really quite urgent someone help!

    Hi Elenatamara,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    Having been able to make a photocopy on the printer, this proves that the hardware of the printer is working properly. This does eliminate a lot of troubleshooting, as it brings the issue down to either a connection issue, or a software issue. I have included the document 'Can't Print? Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue'. Please select your operating system, and follow through the steps in order.
    Please let me know if you are able to print after these troubleshooting steps, or if you are still getting an error.
    Look forward to hearing from you.

  • Photosmart 5525 wont print black

    printer will not print black, all other colors print fine, have run clean print head so many times that my new colored ink cartiridges are low on ink.  When it runs the clean head the black column is empty no black at all.  I have no other ideas on what to do except maybe get a new printer...not an hp.  Also i have had this issue before and i have cleaned the heads and it is working again, so i dont knwo if that one head is clogged or what ...and yes i did try anther ink cartiridge. any help would be appreciated

    The post here has links to a troubleshooting document for the Photosmart 5520 series.  If the steps there do not resolve the issue please contact HP Support, even if the printer is no longer under warranty.   If the above does not give satisfactory results then please post back here and mention what country you are in.
