  • Need instruction on how to print with HP Officejet 6210

    this is with a powerbook G4 1.5, OS 10.4.5, and an HP Officejet 6210 with newest drivers (released 8/06).
    I've used an HP PSC950 for years, connected to my AEBS with USB, using Felix's instructions for setting up the foomatic/hpijs driver, always worked great. Once in a while it would go out on me, rarely, and i'd reinstall the driver and it would work again.
    Several months ago, i was trying to print something on Mapquest and i gave too many commands at once and the system got confused and ever since then, it won't print wirelessly, reinstalling the driver didnt' help.
    Also, i'm not sure i'm adapting Felix's instructions to the new OS which doesn't exactly match the instructions.
    Anyway, haven't had wireless printing in months. Finally tonight, i went out and got a new printer, the HP Officejet 6210, first checking and finding it on the compatability list, both Felix's list and HP's list.
    I set it up, it works fine with direct computer/printer USB connection.
    I just don't know how to set up the Mac to print with the 6210. I have the 6210 connected to the AEBS with USB cable. I dont know what else to do.
    I went to an HP page where it gives step by step instructions for USB to Airport instructions.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00592751&produc t=421991&dlc=en&lang=en
    Step one and two are OK. Step 3 says:
    "Turn on the printer and verify that the wireless mode is enabled. If you need more information on how to enable the wireless mode, see the User Manual which shipped with the printer."
    I have no clue about how to verify that the wireless mode is enabled. In the index of the 6210 User Manual there is not a word about 'wireless.' The word 'network' isn't in there either. Under 'Connection' it doesn't mention anything about wireless printing. So i'm not really able to do this step.
    I tried to do the other steps but if they are talking about the Airport pull down menu in Step 4, there is no printer listed there. I tried to follow step 5 but it leads nowhere.
    Is there some way to set up the Mac the way i set it up for the foomatic/hpijs driver for the PSC 950, so that i can select 10.0.1.1 in the printer menu and print? I tried going into the set up utility and chose Add and chose internet IPP printing and wanted to choose the HP 6210 driver but it wasn't available. There was an HP 6200 series foomatic/hpijs driver--what does that mean? Am i supposed to use that? I chose that and tried to print from 10.0.1.1 but in Print Jobs it just says "10.0.1.1 is busy, will retry in 30 seconds." In other words, it doesn't work. This is what happened when i tried to get the PSC 950 working again too.
    Anyway, the HP instructions don't have anything to do with any of this. They just say to make sure the wireless mode is on and then go to Safari and choose Bonjour and various other things that when i try them, they aren't available as choices.
    I know that someone on these forums was able to use Bonjour to print with their laptop so it must be possible (with Windows however).
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1494092&#1494092
    Plus HP says they tested the connection with Mac OS and it works. So it must just be a matter of some knowledge i am lacking that would get it working.
    If the printer won't work, i have to return it within 14 days so I need to get on it and try to determine if it will work.
    Could there be a problem with my AEBS, which would explain why i was never able to get my PSC950 to print wirelessly again after that crash on Mapquest?
    Do i need to reinstall the OS?
    I seriously don't think this printer has a wireless mode, otherwise it would be mentioned in the manual. I ran through the menu, tools and preferences (on the printer)--nothing about wireless mode. But why should it need a wireless mode if it's connected by USB cable to the AEBS? Isn't this just a matter of setting up the Mac software to print with Airport?

    i have duplicate posts because when i tried to post the comments on 'question answered', i got a red error message saying i had violated no posting within 30 seconds of the last post. I carefully counted out 30 seconds and then waited some more, but i got the same error when i tried to post it again. so then i clicked on the Reload or Refresh browser button, "are you sure you want to send this page again?" yes. then i tried sending the answer comments again and it posted, a long with two duplicates.
    What ever happened to the Edit and Delete post buttons that used to be available on this site, for a short time after posting?

  • I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Pro

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?

    This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
    Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
    At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
    On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened)

    I have a new ipad which needs itunes 10.7 or later to download my music onto it... but my apple laptop is not compatible with this as it is too old... can i use itunes with this ipad and apple laptop?

    To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
    These are the system requirements
    System Requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

    This MacBook Pro (circa 2011) is the second Apple laptop I have owned with the exact same issue.  When I change sites (or at least many of them), the Mac issues a single chime.  I do not have any clue what this might be ... or if it even needs repairing if I can stand the chime.
    If anyone has any ideas, I surely would love to hear!  Many thanks!

  • I got an old Apple G5 shell from Goodwill. I'd like to salvage the Superdrive and use it as an external drive for my Apple laptop. Is this possible, and what cables would I need if so?

    I got an old Apple G5 shell from Goodwill. I'd like to salvage the Superdrive and use it as an external drive for my Apple laptop. Is this possible, and what cables would I need if so?
    Other info is available:
    Superdrive MFG date: Sept 2009
    Model: DVR-118LBK DVD-R/RW Writer Unit
    My Macbook is: Mid-2010, running Mavericks
    Thanks in advance, God bless!

    That's a nice Pioneer DVD±RW drive - and an upgraded replacement for the original optical drive that shipped with that G5.  For a finished look, you'd want to install it in an external enclosure for 5.25" IDE/ATAPI drives that converts it to USB connectivity.  Because SATA optical drives have replaced ATAPI drives in recent years, the selection is getting more limited for a new enclosure, although used ones can undoubtedly be found at ebay.  Here's an example of one, although it only features USB connectivity.  You can also find enclosures that have both FireWire and USB connectivity, which for Mac users is beneficial.  Booting the computer (if needed) by a FireWire-connected device is generally more reliable than USB booting.  If this isn't important to you, then a USB-only enclosure would be adequate.  The enclosure will have directions, but essentially all you need to do is plug in the power cable and data ribbon cable and then secure the drive to the bottom plate of the enclosure with the included machine screws.

  • Need help setting up network printer...

    Good afternoon.
    I have an HP 2600n printer connected to my network through my router... I've got the printer working through my Windows Laptop and printing over the network. I have the printer assigned a static IP address.
    I can't for the life of me get it to show up, assign it, or anything on my mini... I've got two more Apple iBooks in my house that I want to set up too, but thought I'd start with the mini. Tried the istallation disc, and it goes through and tells me the install is finished. Gone to print utility, etc... just can't figure this one out.
    If anyone can give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Okay, I just needed to know...
    Another thing you can check is your AppleTalk setting. Go to your System Preference, Network, (Ethernet or Airport, however you're connected to your network), AppleTalk, and make sure AppleTalk is active.
    If not active, activate it and apply the change and go back to printer setup, add, IP Printer and hit more printers button at bottom, it'll give you another window for AppleTalk printers, see if you printer comes up there.
    I hope this helps,
    Alex

  • Help me decide on what apple laptop i want to get. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    hi, as you can see, i am new to the discussions. i grew up on a mac and have had a mac for a family computer all of my life.
    well i started really getting into video games, (especcially computer games). and went to buy my first computer that i didnt have to share. of course it was a pc (acer aspire 3500 laptop). i was into games.
    so i got used to windows, and its ok. but not vary fun. and after a while i started to get jealous of my best friend and his ibook G4 and all of its capabilities. i was really into blizzard games. and i now reallise they are mac compatible Doh! of course i also liked CS. as anyone with a pc does. anyways im getting old of games but still like to play the accasional. and i went to apples website and was amazed with tiger. and found out about bootcamp and all that stuff. i wanted a laptop, since i do alot of travelling. and i was intruiged by the macbook. i would go for the higher end one. with some upgraded ram.(white) but then there is the macbook pro with some great graphics capabilities. but comparing the two i found that macbook performs just as well, sometimes better than the IMO overpriced macbook pro. i am not really willing to spend 3000 dollars on a laptop or any computer really. i just want a good reliable Apple lappy that will last me a while. now i AM willing to spend 2000 dollars on a macbook pro or an upgraded macbook. but what one is the better deal? i think it is pretty obvious that its the macbook. BUT- i have heard many many a bad things about some of these macbooks. such as battery problems, overheating issues. and random shut downs. i dont want those hassles! is a macbook pro less prone to theese sort of things and is it worth getting over a macbook? Or are all of these problems with the macbook just early production problems and i should wait a while for them to be resolved? please help me make this decision. this is the only place i could find to post this so i hope its ok to have this topic here. and sorry about the life-story. i just need to get some honest opinions, because i need a new laptop soon (mine is on the way out) and this is a big chunk of change here. thanks in advance.
    acer aspire 3500 laptop with a 30 minute lasting battery and has fallen apart. Windows XP i need a mac....

    I think that you should go with the MacBook also and get it maxed out.
    I know you have heard this now from everyone that has posted on this topic but it is true that a maxed out MacBook is better then a MacBook Pro.
    The games work perfectly on my MacBook and the games that I have played have been, The Sims, Orgeon Trail, Halo, Tiger Woods, Madden 07.
    No problems and graphics are stunning.
    I also like the size in the Macbook since I also travel a lot and I my brother has the MacBook Pro and he hates lugging it around on airplanes and stuff since it is a lot bigger.
    So...
    Final Answer: MacBook with 2gb of RAM and a 120gb hardrive since you are willing to spend 2000 dollars.
    Good Luck and Have Fun!

  • I have a feeling my personal Apple Laptop computer activities may be  being monitored.  I feel my Apple Laptop may have been hacked into.  I noticed suspicious item in my wastebasket that I did not remove or know what it means ("roaming password..")

    I replaced my and my family's electronic phones and computers with Apple products due to their superior security capabilities, and the intgrity of their workforce.  Thus I come to you for help with a serious concern in hopes that you can help me.
    Possible Hack into my personal Apple Laptop
    I have a feeling my Apple Laptop has been hacked into and is being monitored.  Today I noticed that an old HP printer that we removed from our wireless setup was still connected. In my attempt to remove the old one I noticed that as I was trying to do so it seemed my actions were being shadowed and both of my printer icons (old and new printer) dissapeared. Anyway I looked in the wastebasket and noticed the following item which I had never noticed before: "roaming_password_for_1475_txt_webarchive" in the trash. As it looked suspicious I restored it onto my desktop to open it and research it and it had information on it saying, To remove the DOCOMO interTouch Cable turn on the wireless network conection on your computer....."  It had text giving my username and password for roaming - I could not copy or pirnt the information from my desktop, so I took a copy and video of it via my Apple cell phone.
    Possible Hack into my personal Apple Cell Phone:
    I have noticed that when I am on phone calls with certain people, my phone will emit a loud long beep.  I am involved with protecting jobs through a union, and am concerned that the county I work for may have had one of their IT people hack into my phone, etc...
