My MG8120 won't print wirelessly from my MacBook running OS 10.9.5. Works fine with HP printers.

My MG8120 won't print wirelessly from my MacBook running OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks). It works fine with all of the other HP printers in the office. Another user has the same problem with her PC running Windows 7. And she, too, has no problems printing on the other HPs. I or she cannot print to any of three Canon printers in the office.

HP Officejet Pro 8500- prints wirelessly from one computer in network but not the other

I can print wirelessly from my laptop, but not my desktop. The printer shows on the list, checked as the default, and READY, but document does not seem to find its way there. It never shows up in the print queue.

Download and run this utility. It should indicate what is wrong.

Canon i550 won't print wirelessly from iBook

I have a desktop PC and a new iBook which I believe should be able to print wirelessly through my Linksys router. [The iBook replaced a laptop PC which was able to print wirelessly. Of course they both were XP 2 systems.] I think I have set things up properly but perhaps not. When asked to print the system accepts the command and a light blinks on the printer but nothing happens. Any suggestions welcome.
iBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Canon (and all non-postscript printer manufacturers except Brother) does not provide drivers that can use all the comm protocols that OS X and CUPS can use, because it was easier for them to use the legacy OS-9 style single-comm (USB-only) driver. I think it's fair to say Apple didn't help, because they didn't remove that option. In addition, Canon doesn't help the open source community, so no one has come up with free CUPS drivers (like Gimp-Print) for Canons newer than 6 years old. Gutenprint (new name for Gimp-Print) is working on it.
You can buy an excellent CUPS driver from www.printfab.net. Then you can use all the OS X network protocols.
When you set up your IP printing, don't forget to enter the linksys-specific queue name in the setup - it's a part of the address that gets data to the printer.

C5280 no longer prints wirelessly from Vista laptop after purchase of new Win7 PC wired to C5280

My Windows XP desktop was wired directly to the C5280 and I was able to print through my home network from the Win Vista laptop downstairs. Since I purchased a Win7 PC and replaced the Win XP one, the laptop cannot print wirelessly through the home network. What can I do to regain that functionality? Thanks.

OK, first wireless Gateway (modem/router combo) units are terrible for wireless connection. It is always, always best to use a separate modem and router in your network that YOU have control over instead of Comcast. If you have your old router it would be best to call Comcast and have that Gateway put in Bridge mode (disables the router section) and connect your own high quality router. With that said, let's try this. Set the router to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto'. If you still can't connect, remove all security off the routers SSID. Now try to connect to your SSID with no security. Are you successful?

Canon mp495 won't print wireless from macbook

I've set it up, it will print the test page, and on word if I go to File>Print, it will print, however when I hit the icon on the word document, it says printer is offline. Any cures?

Ok I have the updated driver, deleted and reinstalled and still no change. The exact wording from click the shortcut is:Word could not communicate with the printer.
There are several possible reasons:
-Your printer or its driver may not be set up correctly or there may be a problem with the network connection. You may need to adjust your printer settings.
-There may be a bad connection between your computer and printer.
I don't see how it could be a network issue since it stil prints from the "file" selection.

I can print wireless from my computer but not from my iPhone or iPad.

I have a Photosmart 7510. I can print from all of our computers but not from my iphone or ipad. I was able to do this at one time. I have tried both printing and emailing the photo to the printer. In both cases, it appears that the email is sent to the printer or in the case of printing, it connects, sends and the Print Center on the iphone says it is printing but it is not printing and the Print Center gets stuck on trying to print that file.

What router are you using?

Printing wirelessly from computer not working

I am trying to print wirelessly from my computer but when trying to print a word document, it does not work. In the "select printer" tab, the only options available to me are Fax (USB) and Fax (Network)...the printer is in "fax" mode and it will not allow me to print the document.
I do not have a landline and therefore do not need the fax option but it seems to have been automatically set and I do not know how to change it.
How can i set up my word/excel to print wirelessly to my HP 4620, how to take off the fax?

To remove the fax driver, just right mouse and uninstall. There should another printer that is the similarly named without the "Fax", use that printer to print.
Also, how come you have Fax (USB) and Fax (Netowrk)? Did you install the driver twice, once as usb and another network? The computer can only have that printer either as usb or network, but not both.

Canon PIXMA MX712 suddenly won't print or copy anything - no color, no B/W, not even with Deep Clean

Canon PIXMA MX712 worked great, no degradation in print quality (over last 1.5 years). Suddenly won't print or copy anything. Can't print wirelessly (from IPAd or computer) or plugged in with USB directly to laptop. Can't copy. Makes normal print head sounds and "prepares" to print. Sounds like it is working and spits out nothing but blank pages. Tried doing test print and nothing shows up on page. Tried doing a deep clean and still nothing. Tried unplugging and letting it reset and turn back on and still nothing. Tried switching out printer cartridges and still nothing. All lights are on for the print cartridges. The printer says it is ready and never received a print error. Please help me stop getting nothing but blank pages. It would seem normal to start having streaking or blotchy prints, but not just to work great one day and then stop.

I have the exact same problem ... printer is about 18 mths old ... I have done what has been suggested ... any other ideas

How can I print wirelessly from my ipad mini to a non-AirPrint network printer?

Does anyone know of a work around to print wirelessly from ipad mini or any apple wireless devices to a network printer that is NOT Airprint ready? I have a trial of Printopia installed on my desktop connected to the network and it seems to work BUT the desktop has to be awake or on for this to work. My wireless router is a new ASUS N66U with supported usb port for printers which my printer is connected to. My PC laptop is able to see the printer but the ipad mini and iphone 5 cannot. I could return the router and exchange for Apple Airport wireless router if I know it would make a difference. Thanks.

Hi,
According to the printer specs, your printer has no wireless connectivity and is not airrprint enabled so unfortunately you won't be able to print from your ipad.
you'll find the list of HP web enabled printers here.

HP OfficeJet Pro L7590 suddenly won't print yellow ink.

My OfficeJet Pro L7590 suddenly won't print yellow ink. The cartridge isn't empty. It still prints everything else. Things that require yellow ink come out a different color (ie: green comes out blue). I've cleaned the printheads several times from the "tools" menu and the report says the printheads are in "good" condition. I've also tried soaking the printheads in hot water for 5 min like was mentioned on here. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi - you've worked through all the steps in the support document here? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01957673&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc...
If you have, and still see bad red and green blocks on the PQ Diagnostic page (as described in the document), you may have to replace the black/yellow printhead (even if the printhead health is reported as 'good'). You can check your warranty on that printhead here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&docname=c00206040

Print wireless from Classic Apps

I'm on 10.2.8, using Airport Extreme and want to print wirelessly from both OSX apps, as well as Classic apps. I can print from OSX apps with no problem and I can print to the printer when I'm connected to it directly via USB in both OSX apps and Classic apps. But when I hook the printer to the Airport base, I can only print from OSX apps. I read through the forum and saw where someone said you can not print Classic apps through Airport .. I know it's not compatible with 9.2, but I'm talking OSX, in Classic mode ... I know it can be done becuase I've had it working before without any problems. I had to switch printers for a short time, so I unhooked it from the Airport base for a period of time, but when I hooked it back up, now it won't work. I'm not sure if any settings have changed since I've done different auto updates ... but how can I check the settings? My printer is HP CP1700PS and the driver does not have a rendezvous option ... I just don't know how to get it to recognize the printer. Can anyone help? I'm not even sure how to tell what version of driver/firmware I have, although I thought I just updated this not too long ago. THANK YOU!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)
TiBook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

It won't work with OS 9. Printing to a printer connected to a round AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) requires Mac OS X v10.2.7.
