Print Out settings, Wireless Printing -- HP psc 750xi

I'm able to use my HP psc 750xi wirelessly using the 750xi footmatic/hpijs driver but whenever i change the print out mode, nothing changes. i like to print out most stuff draft, grayscale since it's so quick. but when i choose that option, it still prints out in color and takes a long time. bascially, no matter what output mode you use, it all looks the same.
I tried a couple other drivers but got the same results....i couldn't change the output mode.
any suggestions? different driver ideas? any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm....bummer, but thanks much for the info. Need to make do w/ this printer until cash flow is a bit better. So can I create 2 profiles for the same printer -- one w/ the HP driver for when I have lots to print out and am in my office (using USB connection) and one w/ the other driver that lets me print wirelessly? Just tried it but now I'm trying to switch back over to wireless printing and it's not recognizing the printer anymore....

    How do I get my iPad to print to my wireless printer?

    If your printer (which you did not identify in your post) is an AirPrint printer, it should work out of the box as long as everything is set up correctly and working properly.
    AirPrint printers are listed here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If you don't have an AirPrint printer, you need a third party app. There are several in the App Store that you can check out.
    You can also use your computer as a print server in order to print from the iPad with Printopia for Mac, or Print Magic for Windows.

    A good place to start is with an AirPrint enabled printer.  The list is in the link below.  If you have a non AirPrint printer, you wilL need a third party app like printopia or print and share to run the print job thru your computer.

  • How do i get my hp pavillion dm1 to print on my wireless printer when using t-mobile usb broadband

    how do i get my hp pavillion dm1 to print on my wireless printer when using t-obile usb external broadband

    Mama Shirley, sounds like you are looking for information on networking your printer. I have to unfortunately inform you that you are not going to likely be able to do that with a mobile hotspot (which appears to be your source of broadband). This is because that card provides your devices with a roaming IP address which is subject to change, because of this it cannot create a stable network for the printer to communicate across.
    My recommendation would be to purchase a router and connect the printer through that router. As a note you do NOT have to connect the router to broadband to create a network for your devices. It will simply provide you with an internal network for your devices. 
    Let me know if this is the information you are looking for or if there is still more assistance I can offer. 
    -Spencer 
    PS I hope you are having a lovely week and that the weather is as wonderful where you are as it is here!

    how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • If I can print to a wireless printer from my Mac, wouldn't it seem like I could print from my iPad mi I and iPhone 5?

    I cannot print from my iPhone5 nor my iPad mini, to a wireless HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m. I can print from my Mac book pro. Is it my settings or the printer that is not set up correctly?

    First check to see if its airprint enabled, it will be listed in the first article link. If not, then there are other options listed below.

  • Just set up a new router, now I can't print to my wireless printer!

    Hi, so I'm really frustrated with this situation since I installed OS X Mountain Lion. I have a Samsung SCX-4623FW wireless printer, connected it to our wifi network (router: D-Link N 300 DIR-632). So it's all good, the wireless light is on so I know it's connected. I even printed out a configuration report to find out the IP address. Now my problem is, when I try to add a printer to my MacBook Pro (13" Inch, Late 2011) using the IP address and the following information:
    Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD
    Use: Samsung SCX-4623FW Series (from Select Print Software...)
    It says: Unable to verify the printer on your network.
    Unable to connect to '[printer ip address]' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?
    And I hit continue in case the error doesn't affect the wireless installation of the printer, I tried to test print a page on the internet and the status message of the printer says: The printer is not responding.
    So I reboot the computer, unplugged and reconnected the router AND modem and still nothing. I reset the settings on the printer, new IP address and everything. Still nothing. I can print via USB but I prefer wireless printing because there are 2 desktops, 2 laptops and multiple devices in the house and it's just not convenient.
    Can anybody please help? I'm all out of ideas. Many thanks in advance.

    Can any Macs in your home see the printer?
    That is to say, is it just Mountain Lion that is having the problem?
    What I'm wondering is if this is a router problem, or a Mountain Lion problem?  I'm trying eliminate as many variables as possible.
    Do you happen to know if the Samsung printer supports Bonjour (eg. Zeroconf) network discovery protocols?  You could download "Bonjour Browser"
    <http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13388/bonjour-browser>
    to see if the Mac can see your printer via Bonjour protocols.
    Since you know the IP address of your printer, you could download "WakeOnLan" which will display every IP address is sees on your network, and check to see if it is in the list generated by WakeOnLan (NOTE: I do not want to wake anything up, but WakeOnLan does a really good job of finding and displaying every IP address is sees on the local network).

  • Printing to Belkin Wireless Print Server

    I currently have a wireless network set up in which 3 computers wirelessly print to an HP PSC 750 through a belkin print server. I now have a MacBook pro and want to be able to print to the same printer. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

    For driver, you'll need to use a third-party CUPS driver, like the Gimp-Print drivers included in OS X. If the 750 isn't in that, update to the new version of Gimp-Print, now called Gutenprint:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
    To setup for the print server, you can get the print server's IP address and queue name from a PC that's setup (go to printer properties > ports tab and click configure port to see the details).
    Read the print server docs carefully to figure out which protocol(s) is supported. The IPP and LPD protocols both require a device-specific queue name (also called port name), which should be in the manual. Common queue names are L1, lp, P1 etc. HP Jetdirect doesn't use queue name. HP Jetdirect equals raw port 9100 printing in PC-oriented manuals.

  • Updated on 12/20 now can not print on HP5520 wireless printer need help!

    Since doing update on 12/20/13 I can no longer print from firefox on my wireless HP 5220 printer. Please advise how to correct or can I revert to the older version of firefox that did print on wireless printer. Worked great before update. Now not at all happy.

    Do you get an error message, or is the printer missing from the dialog, or just nothing comes out??
    To see whether the problem is in Firefox's settings, could you check this article if you didn't already try it: [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]].
    To see whether the problem is that an HP add-on got disabled, you could check your Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled ones cluster toward the bottom. Anything HP or printing related down there?

  • My Mac is no longer printing to my wireless printer HP 8500 A910.

    We have 3 other laptops (PCs) that are having no issues, just the mac?  Initially the connection worked "okay" not great, I would need to "reset" the wireless printer as it would say printing and never print. Now the software stalls when I try to reinstall from either disc or download online and it won't print at all. I appreciate any help you could give me.

    You can try a reset but no guarantees since the printer is not AirPlay compatible.
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try pringint.

  • HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer "Ready" for wireless printing, but gives "error -- printing" message

    This P1102w printer was configured for wireless printing from two computers (WinXP and Win7), both with a network sharing designation, and all functions worked perfectly:
    Printing from the WinXP computer directly, and from a networked Win2K computer as a guest.
    Printing from the Win7 computer directly, and from a networked Win2K computer as a guest.
    Windows Printer Test Pages were printed from both installed computers, showing correct computer names, the printer name, Port names (IP addresses), Data format (IMF), Driver information, etc.
    Several days later (after new boots), the WinXP computer showed printer status as being "Ready", along with the correct printer "Type" (HP LaserJet Professional P1102w), "Where" (IP address), and "Comment" (network printing).  When a print job was submitted from Microsoft Word, the control-panel printer window first showed the message "printing", and then the message "error -- printing".  Nothing was printed.  The same results occurred when a print job was sent to the WinXP computer from the networked Win2K computer.  HP’s troubleshooting routine did not identify the error, its cause, or what can be done about it.
    Successful printing continued, as before, from the Win7 computer directly, and from the networked Win2K computer to the Win7 computer as a guest.
    The printer’s blue “i” network indicator lamp is lit, and all three computers continue to communicate through the hub to each other and to the Internet.
    HP’s printer installation program was executed on the WinXP computer, using the “fix” option, but nothing changed.  The installation program was executed again on the WinXP computer, using the “new install” option (without removing the existing P1102w installation); the “browse” function saw the network, but no printers were found, and the installation could not be completed.
    This is very perplexing.  Any suggestions?
    PS:  The same problem occurred once before, and it was fixed by resetting factory defaults on the printer, hard wiring the printer to the WinXP computer through a USB cable, re-installing the printer’s wireless settings from HP’s installation disk, and repeating all of the networking and sharing setups on all three computers.  This is a lot of work that is not worth repeating, because the successful results have not been permanent. 

    To:  Neonskeleton,
    Thanks for your response -- especially because you are an HP employee!
    My Win2k machine does not use HP software, nor communicate to the HP printer.  (HP did not write a Win2k driver for the P1102w -- and evidently no one else has done this, either.)  My WinXP and Win7 machines use their HP drivers to send print jobs to the P1102w wirelessly, and both machines have the P1102w set up as a shared printer.  Then, when I connect to those machines as a "guest" and submit a print job to those machines, those machines receive the print job and then communicate with the printer using the proper installed printer drivers.
    Everything worked great with this configuration, until suddenly the printer was no longer responsive to ANY jobs coming from the WinXP machine, even though there was a "printer ready" indication on the WinXP machine, and even though the printer responded perfectly to print jobs coming from the Win7 machine.
    When I tried to "fix" the WinXP setup by running HP's setup program on CD, nothing changed.  Then, when I tried to reinstall the WinXP setup for wireless printing, the program insisted that I reset THE PRINTER'S factory defaults and proceed using a USB cable -- even though I wanted to simply ADD the computer for wireless communication to an existing networked printer!  I would conclude that something screwed up the printer's inner settings (maybe an unsolicited and invisible HP update sent to my printer from the Internet?).
    As I mentioned in my original post, I went through this process once before, reinstalled everything on all machines, and all was well.  Until THE SAME non-recognition problem surfaced again!
    I do not want to spend any more time on this.  I went to Staples and bought a second P1102w printer (it is a nice little machine that uses a xerographic cartridge, rather than costly inkjet cartridges that frequently plug up).  I'll use a USB cable for the connection, rather than the installed wireless feature, and set up the P1102w as a shared printer.  I expect that all of my other computers will be able to link as a "guest" through the wireless hub and be able to print.
    Thanks again.
    PS.  I am a retired computer-systems manager from Northrop Grumman. 

  • Printing through Linksys Wireless Print Server

    Ok.. Here is the question.
    I have a Linksys Wireless Print Server (WPSM54G) which is connected to a Canon MX700. In windows this works great. However I cannot get OS X (10.5.2) to print to the printer.
    The print server (with firmware update 1017) supports IPP, LPR, and some other printing protocols.
    I have also pulled down the CUPS driver from Canon's site for the printer.
    At this point I am stuck in getting this working.
    Has anyone out there successfully gotten this wireless print server to work with OS X?
    If so, what is the trick?
    Thanks.

    I hope you're right about supporting the industry-standard protocols after a firmware update - because this print server didn't support those before...
    With the industry-standard protocols IPP and LPD, a queue name is a part of the address to direct data to the port on the print server. Do you know the queue name (also called port name in some documents) for this print server, so you can enter it in print & fax prefs?

  • How can I print to a wireless printer with Ellipsis 7?

    I am hoping it will behave like my phone and recognize that there is a wireless printer in the room. Since I couldn't figure it out, I downloaded Cloud Printer, but for that your computer must be turned on and I can't print anywhere else, even given there is a wireless printer available. Seems new technology would allow this?

    If you are looking for a new printer then make sure to get one off this list:
    https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html
    Looks like you already figured it out but I think you need to have the computer on.
    https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/
    I know they make bluetooth printers too that I have used but it can be slow transfers for photos.  I think HP makes one.
