Print to HP LaserJet 4mp via ethernet on Snow Leopard

Well, after tons of research I have ended up printing thru my OLD mac via shared printer on the network. But I would hope there is a better way. I have a Mac Pro, 10.6.3 connected to a HP LaserJet 4MP via ethernet router via RJ45 cables, works great on ALL my other equipment, even the PC but refuses to show up in Snow Leopard. I tried the standard stuff like giving it an IP address that would match my current network settings, no luck, tried Asante, no luck. I realize it's hard to support a decade old printer but what's all the GREEN CRAP about if I have to keep throwing away equipment that still works, and beautifully. Had to ditch my quad PPC unit because of adobe. Now I can't print. HP was no help, apple support is WAY too expensive since I bought my machine used and they won't sell me an apple care agreement. Anybody have any more suggestions? MIO must stand for missing instant output. ANY suggestions would be appreciated as I've tried all the ones in the discussion forums so far.

Since the 4MP is a PostScript printer, there should be any number of print servers that work with it. It might even work with your router. But it is not going to just "show up" on your computer like it did with AppleTalk. You will need to provide the computer with all the information it needs for an IP connection.
You can get help with that here, but you need to provide information, like the model of the router.

  • Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

    Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
    I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

    No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
    The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

  • Cannot print over wifi but only via ethernet

    Hello,
    i  have c4780 hp printer, i have installed it on laptop via ethernet. All works fine.
    If i unplugg network cable on laptop and use only wireless to connect on my network, the printer cannot print.
    I have a dlink 2740b wireless router. 
    there are particular setting to insert in router configuration?

    just i plug the network cable the printer work immedialtly..
    Why?
    Thanks
    Giulio

    I am confused.  Is the printer connected to your router via ethernet or you computer via ethernet?  If to the router, how was it initially connected (wired or wireless) when you set it up?
    What operating system(s) are you using?
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

    I could not find a MF-4430 at the Canon site. Are you sure the model is correct? They have a MF4450. The Mac drivers are here:

  • Printing issues with HP LaserJet 4000 via ethernet

    I'm trying to connect my iMac with OS X 10.6.8 to an HP LaserJet 4000 using an ethernet cable. My understanding is that Snow Leopard does not support AppleTalk so I was trying to set it up using the IP protocol via HP Jetdirect using the printer IP address. When I try this it gives me a message "Determining Installable Options..." for a couple of minutes and then fails to configure.
    My HP JetDirect Configuration Page reads:
    Host Name: Not specified
    Config by: RARP/BOOTP
    IP ADDRESS:  192.0.0.192
    SUBNET MASK:  Not specified
    My iMac's local IP address is: 10.0.1.83.
    Your help is appreciated!

    I found the answer in another post:
    1.
    In ‘System Preferences’ in ‘Network’, I made sure that ‘Ethernet’ is set to the following:
    ‘Configure IPv4: Using DHCP’
    Two numbers are given:
    ‘IP Address’ and ‘Subnet Mask’
    (you might need to click ‘Renew DHCP Lease’ by clicking ‘Advanced’ and under ‘TCP/IP’ clicking ‘Renew DHCP Lease’)
    WRITE BOTH OF THESE DOWN!
    2.
    Go to ‘Applications’ folder and click on ‘Utilities’ and open ‘Network Utility’. Click on the ‘Info’ tab and from the drop-down menu select ‘Ethernet’.
    The ‘IP Address’ should be the same as that given in the ‘Network’ settings panel for the Ethernet port.
    3.
    On my HP LaserJet 4050N I went through the following menus:
    Click the green ‘GO’ button until the display reads ‘Offline’
    Click ‘MENU’ 7 times or until ‘EIO 2 JETDIRECT MENU’ shows
    Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘CFG NETWORKJ=NO *’ is displayed
    Press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘YES’
    Press ‘SELECT’
    Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘CFG TCP/IP=NO*’ is displayed
    Press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘YES’
    Press ‘SELECT’
    Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘BOOTP=NO’ is displayed (or press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘NO’ and then press ‘SELECT’)
    Press ‘ITEM’ button until
    ‘IP BYTE 1=XXX’ is displayed and where I have put ‘XXX’ using the ‘VALUE’ button enter the first number of the ‘IP’ address given in ‘Network Utility’.
    Repeat this procedure for ‘BYTE 2, 3 AND 4’ by using entering a value each time using the ‘VALUE’ button and then pressing ‘SELECT’ before finally moving onto the next ‘IP BYTE’ value using the ‘ITEM’ button.
    After all of the ‘IP’ values have been entered pressing the ‘ITEM’ button will display ‘SM BYTE 1=XXX’ – this is the ‘Subnet Mask’ value. Follow the same process as for the ‘IP’ address and enter the values given in the ‘Ethernet’ pane in ‘Network’ under ‘System Preferences’.
    After entering the final ‘Subnet Mask (SM)’ value (BYTE 4) press ‘SELECT’ and finally press the green ‘GO’ button.
    As soon as the green ‘GO’ button has been pressed the ‘IP’ value in both ‘Network’ (under ‘System Preferences’) and ‘Network Utility’ (Applications/Utilities) will change to display a new ‘IP’ address. The ‘Subnet Mask’ value displayed in ‘Network’ (under ‘System Preference’s should display the same ‘Subnet Mask’ value).
    4.
    Now close ‘Network Utility’.
    Click on the ‘SHOW ALL’ tab in the open ‘NETWORK’ window.
    Click on ‘Print & Fax’ in ‘System Preferences’.
    Click on the ‘+’ tab on the left of the ‘Printers’ Pane.
    Click on the ‘IP’ tab.
    From the drop down menu ‘Select HP Jetdirect – Socket.’
    Now in the Address field enter the ‘IP’ values that you entered in the printer (and that you wrote down earlier).
    Once entered click ‘Add’.

  • B+W HP LaserJet 5100 via Ethernet in 10.6?

    I have a b+w hp LaserJet 5100 connect via ethernet directly to my Mac Mini. Worked fine in 10.5 and not in 10.6. Can you give me clear instructions on how to get it running again. Have tried the add printer via IP method but so far no luck. I know some people seem to be able to get this working but I've read soooooooooooo many different versions and don't want to totally screw up my computer or my internet connection. What a nightmare this has been. Would never have gone to 10.6 had I known.

    This fixed it for me, see link below:

  • How to print on HP LaserJet 2200 over Ethernet?

    Hi,
    I did an upgrade to Snow Leopard and would like to print on a HP LaserJet 2200 over Ethernet. OS X and the HP printer drivers are up to date now.
    The printer has been cold reset and on the configuration print out there's the IP address 0.0.0.0
    Now my question is how to get this printer to work with Snow Leopard over Ethernet? I did not find a tutorial how to assign an IP address to the printer first so I got stuck.
    Could you give me a hint where I should start with the configuration first?

    OK, now the printer works
    I reset the router and checked if DHPC is running.
    I reset the printer (hold down the GO button, turn the printer on and continue to hold the GO button for five to ten seconds).
    Checked at router that the printer is visible as network device.
    At the router I assigned a fixed IP address to the printer.
    At OS X System Preferences > Printer I added a new printer with "HP Jetdirect - Socket", the fixed IP address and the correct printer driver "HP LaserJet 2200".
    Now the printer has been recognized well by the system (Tray 3, Duplex and printer RAM) and printing works.
    THANKS.

  • How Do I Use My Apple LaserWriter IIg Ethernet with Snow Leopard?

    How do I get my LaserWriter IIg ethernet printer to work with 10.6 Snow Leopard? Cannot seem to find the printer listed in any of the "add a printer" menus. The driver is listed as part of OS 10.6. If I need an IP Address, how do I find out what its IP Address is?

    (OK, I am confused because the Apple LaserWriter IIg has a built-in ethernet card so for the past few years and until last Sunday (thru OS 10.5) I've simply run the ethernet cable through an Asante FriendlyNet Adapter that runs over to my Ethernet hub and everything has printed fine. Plus I was able to share the printer with other computers around the house. Maybe you are saying that internally the printer communicates to the ethernet card via AppleTalk?)
    Unfortunately I cannot find my notes on what IP address I've been using the past few years. I came to the conclusion that I should use the ethernet address which I think is 192.168.0.3, but that hasn't worked. I also tried 192.168.0.1 and 0.0.0.0.
    I am adding these using the LPD option in the Add Printer dialog box.
    In each case, it adds the printer, I can send a job to the print queue but it doesn't send the job anywhere and keeps trying every 15 seconds.
    Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!

  • Cannot print to Adobe PDF from InDesign CS4 under Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

    Hello All,
    Hopefully the subject line says all. Running SL and CS4, and after manually deleting the "old" Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, I am unable to print to PDF — or select "Save As Adobe PDF" under the Mac OS print dialog. This is insanely frustrating on may levels, as this was once a 3-minute operation and now has stretched into two days of futile searching for a solution.
    There is a "tech doc" somewhere out there that offers a "solution". But beware, as it has not worked for me. Once you manually search for and remove the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, you are supposed to magically be able to select the "Save As Adobe PDF" option. This is not the case for me.
    Am trying to print, once again, from InDesign CS4 (NOT via the Export command as that will not allow me to set page size, or print separations). There is no Adobe PDF driver there anymore and there is no option to print PDFs. Of course, I can rest easier with the knowledge that everything is easier now in SL.

    For a long time I was printing out of InDesign CS4 to a PS file and Distilling to a PDF, either composite or separated. Then Snow Leopard came along and that workflow seemed no longer available. It seems some well meaning people didn't understand a professional DTP workflow.
    I had to work between two Macs to create a project and then make separations.
    Eventually I went back to the Adobe InDesign forums and folks insisted that a Adobe PDF 9 printer should be available in my print drivers.
    On that suggestion I completely uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and then reinstalled it.
    It worked, I had the PDF printer back and can now print to a postscript file and do separations as I always have.
    (Another story is that Snow Leopard killed my Epson 2200 printer)
    At one stage I did an update of Acrobat 9 and it caused me to lose the Adobe printer again. Going through the procedure again brought it back and this time after a Acrobat 9 update it stuck.
    In my opinion somebody screwed up. It's not enough to be able to create PDFs out of Microsoft Word. There are people out here trying to make a living and need to be able to create print separations for some offset printers.

  • Print booklet truncates right side of page in Snow Leopard

    I'm trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but my InDesign booklets clip the right side of a spread at 8-1/2 inches. I'm using an 8-1/2 x 11 paper size, landscape, with InDesign pages 8-1/2" tall and 5-1/2" wide.  The booklets print fine in system 10.5.
    I can print regular landscape pages fine. It's just the Print Booklet output. The Preview shows it as being correct.
    I thought it was my 10 year old Laserjet, but I just installed a new Laserjet and it has the same problem.
    I thought it was a problem with InDesign CS3, but I just downloaded a trial of CS5 and it has the same problem.

    Hi writingnorth,
    Is that the right hand side of the page after removing it from the printer?
    Is the text on that side missing or is it compressed? 
    Does the printer show any error messages?
    Also, please try the printhead clean to see what happens.
    I was an HP employee.
    Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"

  • Print Booklet to PDF in Indesign CS5 on Snow Leopard?

    Moving our 200 clients over to CS5 and Snow Leopard and finding out that our one coarse creates booklets and during testing it was noticed that you can't create a pdf from a booklet.
    How does one do this under Snow Leopard now??
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Yea but look right below your circle.  Everything has a white background and looks like it was just thrown there.  Its a wonder they didn't make the "User Accounts and Family Safety" text the same blue color as the other stuff.  Luckily the icon is there to help but its hard on the eyes in my opinion.
    In OS X System Preferences aka Control Panel its far easier to get around in.  If it was Windows 7 it would all be a solid color....see how Personal section is lighter than the Hardware section and it then flip flops as it goes.   Looking at the Windows 7 Control Panel and other things its just a bad visual design.
    But this isn't the place to be talking about this so this will be my last post unless its about PDF printing and Snow Leopard.  Thanks.....

  • Printing problems with Epson R2880, works fine on Snow Leopard

    I have 3 iMacs running Snow Leopard which comes with driver version 8. These can print just fine to the Epson but as soon as I connect it to my Mac Mini running Lion it refuses to print. I get this error "Printing has been canceled because the paper source selected in theprinter driver does not match the paper loaded in the printer."
    This is nonsense, I only use A4 and A3 but both refuse to print, furthermore there is no paper setting on the driver.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Been googling like mad but while I have seen others with this problem I have not seen anyone with a sollution. I can print just fine to other printers. Have started from the emergency partition and repaired permissions, re-installed latest combo update, and even downloaded the whole epson update from Apple, no dice.
    Help!

    First, the error message is probably telling you that the paper source or paper requested does not match what has been loaded in the printer and has been selected in the printers menu. That means you might have chosen the wrong paper when initially loading the printer. This printer relies on the user to chose the proper media when loading and then to match that when setting up to print through whatever software printing the file. Open the queue in System Prefs, Printer, Queue and delete the job that is stopping the printer; close tab. If the printer is stuck on the job, go to the printer menu and cancel job.
    Be sure that you have installed the proper driver. If in doubt, remove the printer from the Printer list in System Prefs. Download the newest driver software from Epson, install and add the printer in the System Prefs, Printers. The correct driver should say something like "Epson SP2880".
    PS.... have the printer's manual handy. It has most of this in there.

  • HP LaserJet P1005 not working with Snow Leopard

    Has anyone managed to get this printer to work with Snow Leopard 10.6? I have installed the latest drivers* from the HP website which BTW do not say they support 10.6 , see http://is.gd/2DfcE
    *Not sure exactly what the version number of the drivers is. The website says they are version 1.0.7, but when installed they show version 1.0.6
    I either get nothing coming out of the printer or an error "PrintJobMgr quit unexpectedly - This report will be sent to Apple automatically".

    From this web page:
    Here are some troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue:
    Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
    Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
    Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
    Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, reset printing system as described below, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, contact the printer vendor and/or visit their website for printer software and support.

  • Fixing Printing for Dell 5210n on OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

    After upgrade to OSX 10.6, printing to Dell 5210n laser printer was no longer working. Drivers are pretty old. Last ones available from Dell website are 2006 (10.4) and were apparently built for Power PC. Running driver install will not fix. Each time printing was attempted the Dell Printer Queue widget reported that: /Library/Printers/Dell/filter/pstopsprinter1 failed.
    After much butt scratching and installing and uninstalling of drivers to no avail... I tried navigating to the folder to see what the heck pstopsprinter1 actually was.... novel solution!?! Turned out to be a Unix Executable File (Power PC)... and when you try to run it you get a terminal session pop up and tell you that you need to install Rosetta from the Optional Installs of the Snow Leopard disk. Do it, Restart and it works!!
    Solution:
    Install Rosetta from the Optional Installs of 10.6 disk.
    Another one bites the dust......
