Pairing a Mac (OS 10.9) with an HP OFficejet 100 mobile printer

Hello,
I am running a MacBook Pro with OS 10.9. I have been successfully using an HP Officejet 100 mobile printer via bluetooth connection until just a few hours ago. Now, the Mac will not pair with the printer. When I click the apple logo, go to system preferences, select printer, it will not find the printer. Nothing has been uninstalled that I am aware. Can someone please advise me on what to do? I have powered off both devices and then powered on without success.

Hi 4stix,
thanks for your suggestions! I managed to pair the printer with my MacBook Pro again by using the security code "000000". Before I never had used the security code. But I still couldn't add the printer to the system preference panel "Printers & Scanners". It simply wouldn't appear in the "Add" window.
Just to make sure it wasn't a Bluetooth issue, I successfully reset the Bluetooth security following your steps. I could pair the printer again, but still I cannot add it as a printer in the Mac OS X system preferences.
When I open the "HP Utility.app" the printer appears there and I can get every kind of status report. I can even print the test page using the button "Print Test Page".
Seems like a Mac OS X Mavericks issue to me. What do you think?
Edit: To answer your questions:
Did you happen to run any APPLE updates recently? Or between the time that you were/were not able to print? -- Yes, after the last successful printing I installed: iBooks Update, RAW Compatibility Update for Digital Cameras, iTunes, Mail Update for Mavericks. It would be really strange if one of them broke the printer service.
Did you encounter any security or other messaging popup? -- No

Wireless printing problem with hp officejet 100 mobile printer from win 7 dell laptop

My hp officejet 100 mobile printer was working fine with my dell XPS 15 in bluetooth wirelessly until my laptop crashed. Now I can not get it to print internet info except with hard wire connection. Page loads half way and then stops. Must shut down laptop and shut off printer or hard wire and shut off bluetooth. down loaded lastest drivers to no avail. printer will print from cell phone and win 8 computer via bluetooth but not win 7 laptop.

Sorry you are having problems with printing from the internet. I have a few more questions to ask you before I can be of much assistance.
What web-browser are you using?
Do you have any problems printing from Word or other non-internet documents?
What did you do to fix your computer (system restore, clean install of the OS, etc)?
Have you tried an alternate web-browser?
Make sure to install all of your Microsoft updates to see if that helps. Otherwise, answer those questions for me please and I will be happy to help.

Hi,
I'm happy to announce that there is now an additional solution for mobile printing using the HP NFC/Wireless 1200w Mobile Print Accessory (HP Part Number: E5K46A) that will work on a number of HP Printing devices, please see the link: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx%2F4AA4-8235ENW.pdf
The only requirement is that you have the latest firmware revision installed on the device, this can also be powered directly from the devices USB port (in your case OfficeJet 150) via the USB cable.

Does apple make a printer for iPad if not how dow I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer?

Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks

Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it

HP - Officejet 100 Wireless Printer Setup with Chromebook

I am considering on purchasing this printer to use in my dorm. I have an HP Chromebook 14 and wanted to know how to connect it to the printer. Does it just work with bluetooth straight out of the box after I insert my wifi settings? DO i just turn on Bluetooth and send the files? I don't have a desktop to install the driver, like most normal printers would require, so I am relying on Google Cloud Print and Bluetooth printing. There is no way to install a driver on my Chomebook because that is not how the are made to work. Is there any other way to set it up without have to install any drivers? Or will it just work once I connect it to either wifi or Bluetooth? Any help is helpful.

Hi,
Your printer isn't web enabled so may may not be able to setup google cloud print via blue tooth.
There is a HP 1200w NFC/ Wireless Mobile Print accessory for your OJ100 mobile printer to enable it to support wifi printing:
Here's the link that shows how to set up your OJ100 with the HP 1200w:

Mac 10.6.3 with Firefox 4.0.1: Can print from Word, PDF, Screen Shots, etc.--but not a web page. My Canon MP610 shows correctly as default printer.

If I use AOL's browser, I can print Web pages. But not from Firefox. Could be this problem began with upgrade to your 4.0.1.

I can't use ePrint or scan with an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A printer.

Ever since we got the Time Capsule, I have not been able to use ePrint or scan a document. I can print just fine. I think the problem might be that the Time Capsule is blocking some ports.

It's connected via WiFi. I don't think we had this problem with the Linksys router.
So the TC doesn't block any ports at all except for vulnerable incoming ports? Gee, it would have been nice if Apple said so in a Webpage. Or did they? I don't know. All I know is that when searching for how to unblock a port on a Time Capsule all I found was instructions on port forwarding. I did see a thread in here where some guy was having a related problem but his problem had to do with a different router. He had his Time Capsule acting as a network bridge.

MacBook Pro dropping bluetooth connection with HP Officejet 100

I've recently started developing problems with my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.4) maintaining a bluetooth connection with my HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer.
The problem I'm seeing is that when I send something to the printer, everything starts out okay, but then after about 10 seconds, the bluetooth icon in my status bar indicates that it is no longer connected. The printer pauses for a minute or so and then spits out the half-printed page.
Anybody else seeing this? Any suggestions on how to fix?

I have a similar issue, albeit a different bluetooth printer from yours.
According to a review on CNET's website, the dropping of bluetooth connections seems to have been introduced in the 10.7.4 update and did not exist in the 10.7.3 version of the Mac OS X Lion software.

Printing Issues with HP OfficeJet 100 and Windows 8.1

We use HP OfficeJet 100 mobile printers and have a printing issue.When we print the printer acts as if it is going to print and then prints one blank page.Printer will not print even though it is showing as default printer.Printer will just stop printing in the middle of a document, even in the middle of printing out a page. We are printing via the USB cableWe are using Windows 8.1We are connecting to laptopsWe have been using the HP mobile range of printers since 2004 and have only experienced these issues since we moved the laptops onto Windows 8/8.1 We have:Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers – this fixed this issue for a short while and then it reappeared againCalled HP support and they directed us to the driver support page which had the latest print drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with them on the phone. This initially fixed the problem and then it returned a few days laterAfter trawling the support forums found directions to change the print processor to “WinPrint” – No effect as the processor was already on this settingDownloaded the HP diagnostic tool – HP Print and Scan Doctor – didn’t fix anything Any further help would be much appreciated.

Hello there Lawrence, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I noticed your post about the troubles you are running into when you attempt to install your OJ 6100 printer on your Windows 8.1 laptop. I read all of your attempts and seen you have tried several methods to try and get the installation to complete successfully.
I would like to make some suggestions that may help. Let me know how it goes!
1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
Try to install
2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
How to disable realtime scans
Try the install
3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
Try the install
Enjoy your Monday!

Scanning Problems with an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500

I have an iMac running the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have had the HARDEST time, since purchasing my iMac in Dec 2010, scanning documents with my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 printer. What happens is usually one of two things: 1) Only half of the page fills the scan window, or; 2) The entire document fills the scan window BUT the SCAN button is greyed out so that it cannot be selected!
Yes, I have done the whole delete the current printer drivers, get the drivers through Software Update, reset the printing, etc. None of that has worked (well, on occasion it works for a while). I am not using the drivers that came with the HP 8500; I'm told that you should use the drivers from Apple Software Update.
I have discussed this with Apple Support. They say I need to purchase Apple Protection Care for them to address this. This is weird, considering that this appears to be a software problem with software supplied by Apple!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,A phone cable connection to a landline is required for faxing. Generally, a wireless connection only refer to the connection with a computer for printing and scanning, it do not refer to a fax setup. Regardless, the specific device does not support any wireless connectivity but only a wired network or a USB. Regards,Shlomi
