Officejet 6600 mac OS X 10.6 wont print but Windows 7 does

This has got to be a Mac problem...
I just purchased an HP Officejet 6600 and connected wireless to my network.
I connected my Windows 7 machine wirelessly and prints flawlessly.
I connected 2 of my Mac Book Pro 10.6.8 Snow Leopard machines and although they can connect to the printer, it wont print. It just says printing in the queue and sometimes will say offline after a while.
I have performed software updates on the Mac and have reinstalled the HP software from a fresh download.
I have even tried this

How can I get this working like my windows machine?

Hi,
Make sure to enable Multicasting support within the router, as much as I aware it should be disabled by default and will more likely cause such behavior.
To change the settings logon the router home page.
Click Security from the top menu.
Check the box next to Filter Multicast.
Click Save Settings and reboot the router.
Now check for any change, I believe it should help resolving such an issue.
If you still see any simialr behavior I would recommend you to contact your router service provided and check for any further settings which may affect Multicasting streams within the network.

Shlomi

Hp laserjet pro p1606dm with yosemite with usb wont print but printed on a network

hp laserjet pro p1606dm with Mac Yosemite using a USB wont print. Printed however when used on a network. Downloaded a driver again, though driver already installed. Driver was a dmg file and wouldn't open. Forum told me to use Safari to open a dmg file but that didn't work. Help! Want to use the printer at home that I was using at the office.

Hi @soneighbor ,
I understand that you are having issues printing from a USB connection, but you were able to print by a Wired Network connection. I will certainly do my best to help you.
The drivers for 10.8 are installed by the Apple Updates.
Once the printer is connected by a USB cable directly to the Mac, you should be able to just run the Apple Updates to install the drivers automatically. Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update.
Delete any of the older drivers first.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet P1606dn)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing again.
If you run into any issue, please do the following:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.
If you are still having any issues, download and install the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Imac os wont start but windows bootcamp still working fine

Hi everyone,
My imac is around 4 years old and has been running both windows bootcamp and os x snow leopard for at least 3 years without any problems. My default operating system is mac and when I tried to turn it on this morning it gets stuck on the white screen with the grey apple icon and the loading icon spinning. Also a bar appears below this that I have never seen before.
I have tried opening the mac in recovery mode but it does not respond and goes to the same logo screen.
I have tried holding the 'D' key down while the mac comes on and doing the apple hardware test but once the window pops up it does not complete the probing and appears to freeze just before its completion.
I have also tried booting in safemode but the script stops at these commands:
launch tl: Please convert the following to launchd: etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisory.plist
launch_msg(): socket is not connected
However, the windows bootcamp is working fine and I can access my mac files from there.
Also worth mentioning is that it is not a grey screen that appears on start up it is just the normal apple icon screen.
Tried both smc and pram resets but nothing changed.
Also when I the mac holding alt both the mac hd and windows disc are visible but obviously same problem happens when I click on mac from there.
Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks.

If you use the first Grey Disk and the 'C' key, can you boot into OSX and then your disks can be inspected.

Mac/PC shared network, PC wont print. C6180

I have an HP c6180 that is shared via WiFi between my mother's PC laptop and my Macbook. She has Vista and I'm running OSX Lion. Basically, the Mac prints fine every time but her PC will almost never print unless I delete her printers and reinstall the software, and then only seems to print until I print something. Any ideas?

hi there,
Try downloading and running the hp print and scan doctor located here (on the vista machine). It can likely resolve the issues experienced and if not give us a better idea on what is going on with the printer. Let us know the results.
Best of Luck!

Officejet 6600 - cartridge issue - want to throw it out the window!

Seriously annoyed BIG TIME with this HP pile of bleep
New printer, purchased only a few months ago, used up the starter cartridges.
Said magenta needed replacing - so i bought all 4 just in case.....oh how conveniently the other colours were suddenly empty too after i inserted in the magenta......anyway i have replaced all of them now and it STILL keeps coming up saying the Magenta and Yellow are damaged and need replacing.
Seriously someone needs to help me as i am not getting anywhere with it. Its under warranty but how the hell (and why the hell) do i go about getting that sorted too (i am in the UK and cant find anyway of contacting HP in the UK?!?!?!)
Massively regret getting a HP, i never had this sort of problem with the Lexmarkk printer.

found the online help chat. They were very helpful, though ended up replacing the Magenta with a genuine one and that works fine. The yellow (which is a genuine) isnt working still. HP are posting me a replacement Yellow in the hope that it will work then.....if not, its under warranty so they will replace the printer.

No OSX installer will boot on Mac Pro from any drive (grey screen), but Windows installer does...

Greetings,
Neither OSX 10.5 (shipped with my Mac) or 10.6 disks will start on either of my Mac Pro dvd drives. They will not run from my Macbook (Mac Pro on firewire target mode) either, nor from a partition on the Mac Pro HDD. They always go as far as the grey logo screen with the spinning wheel, where they get stuck.
Verbose mode will display the following lines where it gets stuck:
DSMOS has arrived
Warning - com apple.driver.InternalModemSupport declares no kernel dependencies; using com.apple.kernel.6.0
Then it lists two ethernet addresses and nothing else.
I have reset the PRAM about a hundred times in the last days. Same goes for the SMC, well, maybe only a dozen times this one... I have run fsck, too.
I can no longer run the hardware test on the install disk 2, but when I still could a couple of days ago, all was reported fine.
BTW Windows installer will load though... What is going on here?!?
Any suggestion (other than suicide, yet anyway!) would be greatly appreciated.

Windows won't give a kernal panic or BSOD because it is a Mac related hardware issue.
If you can't boot from CD/DVD:

Your asking about a Mac Pro, but those are not "G5" and the OS can't be transferred between PowerMacs and Mac Pro.... are you sure we are talking about only Mac Pros?
Putting XP and Mac OS on the same drive, that doesn't strike me as what one would do; keep them on different drives.
And, if they are on the same drive, then you really haven't reformatted the drive, which would involve wiping any and all partitions, and then creating your Mac Standard (HFS+ Journaling) and backup XP with WinClone or install it to another drive.
I don't have trouble with Windows, but I do with the Boot Camp Assistant and drivers.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910g printing - but never does

Printer Model:
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910g
Operating System:
    MS Windows XP, Media Center Edition, V 2002, Service Pack 3
Connection Method:
    Wireless via AT&T U-Verse Residential Gateway
Problem Description:
    Network printer not printing after first print job prints. Printer display panel says
    'printing...' and laptop display for printer status says "Error - Printing" (HP Officejet
    Pro 8500 A910 (Network) - User Intervention   Required).
I have run the HP Print Diagnostic Utility 4.1 for this printer when this situation has
    occured. It finds problem with Print queue - Print jobs are stuck in the print queue
    (list of files waiting to print). Click Fix to remove them, and then restart the print
    jobs. I click Fix and basically it tells me it is unable to clear the print queue, to turn
    the printer off and on again, restart the computer and re-run the diagnostic which
    then finds no issue with the printing.
    I am only able to print after turning the printer off and back on - and only one document
    or file successfully before reverting back to same behavior. This is not a solution as this
    is a printer used for small business.
    All functions worked just fine after initial install. Not sure when stopped working as it
    is used primarily during tax season. There have been no hardware changes to my setup
    since initial install.
    Fax: Printer receives fax but never prints (Now printing... displays on printer display until
    I turn printer off and back on.)
    Please help resolve issue. What information do you need?
This question was solved.

I am having a very similar issue with two HP 8500 printers. One has never worked properly. The other one was working perfectly for about a year until Friday. Now it does the same thing as the other one.
Both are on wireless networks. One is at home. One is at the office.
The one at the office has now decided to quit working.
On the front of the printer, it states that it's printing, at the same time my computer says User Intervention Required, but the job never prints and the print queue piles up. I have to turn the printer off and turn it back on. It cleans its printhead and goes through testing.
Then the restart process clears my print queue, so I have to resend whatever print jobs I was going to print.
The printer prints for a while, and at some point decides not to again.
I have tried various fixes including the ones suggested here.
I opened a command prompt. I typed "net stop spooler" and pressed enter.
My computer says "Access is denied"
So I move to the bypass the spooler option. I open the printer properties, and click on the 'Print directly to the printer' radio button. Apply and OK.
I sent a new print job. An error comes up on my screen "Unable to Communicate with Printer".
After that, I tried running the HP Print Diagnostic Utility again. I select my printer and click "Fix Printing"
The Utility tells me that everything Checks Out Okay with the Printer. I have it send a test page.
An error pops up on my computer "Unable to Communicate with the Printer".
I click on the Control Panel, Printers, and my printer. The box says "User Intervention Required - Offline".
I turn the printer off and back on and now I can print....at least for a little while.
Please help.

HP Officejet 4630 e All in One "alignment sheet printing" but it doesn't print anything

HP Officejet 4630 e All in One Stampa pagina di allineamento in corso... bloccata con questa scritta nel display che non riesco a togliere. Sistema operativo Windows 8 64k. Posso aggirare il problema di stampare perchè comunque se scelgo allineamento "No" riesce a stamipare; però lei è occupata con questo messaggio ma non stampa la pagina di allineamento, così non riesco a copiare e a fare altre cose che posso comandare solo col display della stampante. Spero che ci sia qualche italiano in grado di darmi una soluzione. Grazie!

My iPod wont synch, but it does download apps

My iPod touch and it wont sink with my pc. It did before but now it wont. Ive tried different cords but get the same result. It still downloads apps from wi-fi but not nothing from iTunes.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
If iTunes does not see the iPod then:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Macs on the network say they "print" but nothing is actually printed

I have a Canon MF4350 connected via USB. It works as a local printer. Other Macs on the network can see it as a shared printer, and when you print it looks like printing work. But nothing is printed.
Canon cannot help, Apple cannot help.
Downloading the latest drivers from Canon just make the printer not work at all.
Tried everything I can think of and done a few things people recommend here - nothing works.

A previous postee who had the same issue and need to connect to the shared printer found that if the Mac that was connecting to the share did not have the UFRII driver installed locally, he was able to connect and print. The driver will be located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon > UFR2. Delete this UFR2 folder and contents and empty the Trash. Then also trash the UFRII Backgrounder plist file, located in HD > Library > Launch Agents and is called jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist, and then restart the Mac. Now if you try connecting to the share, are you able to print?

OSX wont start but Windows will

I have installed Windows 7 on my Maverick iMac using Boot Camp and now cannot get the OSX to start although Windows starts okay.
I have tried to reformat the whole drive using Disk Utility but that doesnt work as it cannot unmount the Boot Camp drive and the OSX drive wont mount.
Please help as this is most frustrating.

Yep, saw the world rotating, selected disk utility that showed Boot Camp mounted and Macintosh HD greyed out (Not mounted).
The status of the drive is Read/Write, SMART Verified and GUID Partition Table
It also states this partition cant be modified as the disk appears to be partitioned for boot camp
Highlighted the Macintosh partition, selected erase and after a long time it did nothing, same result if i highlighted the Boot Camp partition.
I am at a loss?

Ipod Touch wont sync but Nano does...any ideas?

My ipod touch is no longer syncing. New one - 64gb. I also have an 8gb nano - latest version and it syncs fine from same itunes. Wondering if it is a hardware conflict. I read about hp driver for scanne rconflict and uninstalled to no avail. Out of ideas. Anyone please?
Latest version of ipod SW and latest version of itunes installed. Windows 7.

I assume yu mean that iTunes does not see your iPOd Touch.
Yes, it is likely that the scanner software is casung the problem. However, first try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Is the scanner sofware still uninstalled? It should be. Also try removing and reinstall the Apple software by using the Vista/Win7 link provided in:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
