New macbook won't print, via airport, on HP Deskjet 3845

Hello there
I used to have an iBook G4 running Tiger and it printed very well. Now I upgraded to a new aluminum macbook running Leopard 10.5.5. It prints ok when the printer is connected to the usb port. When I try to add the printer via airport express, the system finds the printer with bonjour but doesn't recognize the driver. I selected the driver manually but it doesn't accept it.
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot
Tubarao

Can anybody help me here, please?

  • I have a new MacBook Pro that prints fine with my upstairs computer, but the IMAC will not print through the AirPort

    I have a Canon printer (USB), in my office. I plugged it in to the back of the Airport Router. The downstairs new MacBook Pro can print with either of my two printers upstairs with no problem. The IMac upstairs can not see the Canon printer at all. When I go to Print & Fax settings, it does not see the printer! How can I solve this?
    THANKS!

    You will need to get on the Canon website and download the latest drivers for your printer on the iMac.
    That's really about all that you can do.

  • Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

    Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

    The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
    To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
    If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

  • Leopard incapable of printing via airport?

    What the heck did apple do to screw up wireless printing?
    I could print on Panther os to my printer when it was hooked up to airport. It meant hooking it up to airport and adding the printer a second time (then labelling it as wireless so I know which is which). How do you do that in leopard?
    Leopard says the printer is there but lies when it comes time to print and says it can't connect unless i plug into usb port. why can't it print when the printer is hooked to airport?
    How do you get this wireless printing to work on Leopard?
    The normal printer utility doesn't exist and I have no idea on how to tell leopard to print via airport to the printer (leopard is too stupid to figure it out) and apple won't let me ask anymore.
    HELP HELP HELP! HOW DO I GET THIS STUPID LEOPARD OS TO PRINT TO IT?

    OK. Here's the answer to my own question. And here is what apple did to confuse the issue.
    First, you have to go to the airport utility to fix leopard so it finds the usb printer plugged into the airport usb port because it has to configure the wan port as a printer.
    In utilities, click on airport utility.
    (this is when airport utility suddenly realized it had to update itself). Why the update was never found using software update I'll never know....
    Complete the update. Exit airport utility and relaunch so that it detects the previous airport setup.
    IT SHOULD LIST WHAT IT FOUND. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW IS A CLICK BUTTON LABELLED MANUAL SETUP. CLICK ON MANUAL SETUP. Why apple thought to hide the printer setup in airport manual setup is anyone's guess....
    IN THE MENU THERE IS A PRINTER ICON AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. CLICK THAT AND THE REST IS EASY. IT SHOULD FIND THE PRINTER SO ADD IT AND RENAME IT BY ADDING BONJOUR OR SOMETHING TO THE NAME SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE SELECTING THE PRINTER WHEN IT IS PLUGGED INTO THE AIRPORT BASE STATION. Set sharing if you want to share the printer in system preferences sharing icon. RENAME THE NEW PRINTER OTHERWISE, YOU'LL HAVE TWO PRINTERS, ONE THE COMPUTER LOOKS FOR ON THE USB PORT AND ONE IT LOOKS FOR THE ON AIRPORT BASE STATION.
    SET THE DEFAULT PRINTER TO THIS NEW PRINTER SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY IT WILL PRINT VIA AIRPORT TO THE PRINTER.
    Panther was so much easier and logical in setting up the printer to run off airport.

    Do the same thing your doing to get each computer on the Internet, one takes turns connecting the cable.
    If you want both computers on the Internet and printing at the same time, that's what a router is for.
    Just sub one of the PC's above for a printer and you see the idea how it all works.
    A Airport Express is Mac friendly method, but if you have computers that have no wireless capability then you will need a Airport Extreme for the Ethernet outports.
    You can also buy a third party router from the PC store, that works too, but it's a bit more complicated and you have to install your own firmware updates manually, no Airport Utility to do it for you. But you save money.
    The important thing is setting up the router securely, WPA and WEP are both cracked. New Mac's don't even support WEP encrypted because it's worthless and false security.
    What you want is:
    WPA(AES) Personal with two passwords, each 20+ random letter, number, symbol characters in length. One password is used for Internet access only the other for Admin router access only, this way a user can't crack the router.
    Turn off remote access, don't use hidden network or MAC Address filtering, no defense.
    The long passwords are needed to defeat brute force attacks using video card based software, this type of password will take thousands of years to crack.
    You can learn more about wireless networking online, have a local PC/Mac guy set you up.
    Your computers are much more secure behind a router than directly connected to Internet as the router is a dumb switch, like a large security guard, only allowing certain things to pass and beating down others who try.
    Also you don't wear out your Ethernet port like what your doing now connecting the cable all the time.
    Good Luck

  • My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

    you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
    next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
    once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
    turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

  • HP C5180 not printing via Airport

    Hello - I've been trying to get our HP C5180 printer to print via Airport. After calling the HP helpdesk their view was that if the printer printed via USB then the fault/problem was with the Airport and that they could not assist any further. Hopefully someone maybe able to offers some assistance.
    I've made sure that selecting configuration for our Airport, then the Base Station Option tab, then the USB printer section, that the Airport is seeing the printer - it appears correctly.
    Printing to the printer it spools a document through then evantually returns an error message of "Opening printer connection failed. Unable to open the printer connection. Please check your printer connections and check for printer errors".
    Can anyone help please!? Thanks in advance.

    Could be, that if a newer driver for the printer you have exists,
    and is available, it may not have been in the software for it; so
    maybe some other printer driver may need to be found to work.
    There are some compatible drivers available for free through a
    web site; the name is GutenPrint (or formerly Gimp Print) and
    there may be a newer driver. Not sure if those work with 10.3.
    If the OS you have were not so old, another answer may be
    in a new driver direct from the printer manufacturer's homepage.
    Guten Print - Gimp Print:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    Supported printers for use with the AirPort Base Station's USB
    port can be spotty; some work fine and others may require an
    other way around their unwillingness to function. There still are
    some wireless printer servers out there; not sure if they'd work.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer

    How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer?

    It is rather hard to know how to help you since, among other things, you didn't tell us what printer you own, what you've tried thus far, and what happened when you tried it. Your printer came with documentation and it may have even come with a disk that takes you through the process step by step. My first two suggestions are that you (1) make sure you know the password and SSID of your wireless router. You'll definitely need the password and you might need to know the router's ID name. (2) read and try to follow the instructions that came with your printer. In general, I've found that Canon and HP instructions and setup software are quite good while Brother wireless printers, at least in the past, have been rather flaky to set up (but work fine once that initial headache is dealt with).

  • Printing via airport extreme then via ethernet to Hp Deskjet 6840

    Hi,
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    I have a powerbook and can't print to my ethernet printer. If I plug in the ethernet cable to the powerbook it prints fine.
    Is it possible to print to a networked printer via airport.
    I cannot connect the HP to the USB on the side of the airport as that would cut off the other hard wired macs on the network.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    G3 powerbook pismo 400   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I've been using my 6980 wirelessly through my Airport Extreme router. It works very well even when multiple users are accessing. I don't have any of my machines hardwired though. It shouldn't matter, if your laptop can talk to the hardwired machines the printer should too.
    Grab the 6840 setup guide and your software CD and follow the instructions for setting up wireless. Since the 6840 predates Tiger you may need updated drivers, but if you can print to it now you're probably OK.
    If you have WEP activated, your network hidden, or both, the setup process is a little complicated. Let me know if that's the case and I can help you through it. I have a closed network with 128 bit WEP and got everything connected with few problems (took a little finagling).
    If you don't have your setup guide handy you can go here for information:

  • MacBook won't print PDF files, it states The process "pstopdffilter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1

    Question: MacBooK won't print PDF files, after selecting print it states; The process "pstopdffilter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1. I am currently using a HP Deskjet 4400 series printer and it works fine with all our other lap top computers. Thanks for any help.

    The pictwpstops filter on OS X machines, converts the job to straight Postscript before the normal CUPS filters get it.
    If the Adobe APPs have a choice of what kind of PS to send, like Binary or ASCII, try toggling that setting to the opposite of what it is.
    Though, if a reboot fixed it then likely the problem was a remporary bit flip, which may or may not happen again.

  • Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

    Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

    Firewire 800 is the fastest and most reliable. Also it's bootable if you hold the option key down on a wired or built in keyboard.  Not bootable via Airport obviously or if Filevault is used.
    It's only your first clone that's usually takes the longest, it's shorter when it updates as you only do the changes which you can control to keep a pure clone if you wish.

  • Printing via Airport Express does not Work

    I have been using an Airport Express Basestation with my Mac Mini and Epson Stylus 880 for about a year without a problem. Now I have moved to an Intel iMac and cannot print via Airport anymore. The file get´s spooled but then I get an error message saying that the printer driver might be incompatible. If I use the same driver with the local USB port everythings works fine.

  • How to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.

    How to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.

    Ah, a Powerbook. I miss that.  Anyways, I believe that the Powerbook G4 has an Firewire 400/800 port.  Why don't you do that?  It's fast, and you don't have to set up one of those funky reverse wire ethernet cables.  I wouldn't use Migration Assistant, but that's just me.  Too many issues.  I'd start up your brand new MacBook Pro and during the setup assistant, it'll ask you to transfer data from an older Mac.  Using firewire with a Target Disk Mode, it's pretty fast.
    If you have already opened up your new Mac and are using it, then use Migration assistant, but also with the Firewire (preferably 800).
