Print to LaserJet 2200d via a wireless print-sharing computer?

I would like to share an HP LaserJet 2200d over a wireless connection to other clients on the network. The 2200d coonnects to my G4 via USB (no JetDirect card). The G4 is a wireless node on the network. All OSX nodes are 10.3.9.
The printer works fine for the direct connect G4, but it doesn't show up at other machines in the Printer Utility display of available printers.
Can this be done? It would appear that one can print to a 2200 via USB to an Airport Express device, so why won't it work through a spooling client?
Thanks in advance (I hope)

I have run Printer Setup Repair on the G3 (10.3.9) and all the various repair sequences. (e.g. repair file permissions)
I have made a wired connection for the host and the G3 still doesn't see it. I have tried nearly every connecting option offered in Setup Utility. (AppleTalk, IP Printing, LPR, JetDirect, Rendezvous)
I can ping the host machine from the G3.
A laptop trunning 10.4.x can print to the 2200 just fine, via its own WiFi connection to the network. On that machine, the 2200 shows up in Printer Setup Utility under 'default browser' and shows up in the Printer List properly attributed to its host machine.
iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
Thank You,
mholmau

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.

Can't print to HP LaserJet Prof. P1102w_1 wireless printer with my iPad.

I cannot print to HP LaserJet Prof. P1102w_1 wireless printer with my iPad although it appears that this is a compatible printer. My computer prints to this printer. All other components of my wireless options and router are working.

Hi,
Did you updated the printer firmware?
The P1102w only support AirPrint with the latest firmware, not with the version shipped with the device.

If you have any issues after updating the device please clarify your router brand and model.

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past? Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this. I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Can i print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do i have to have an airprinter?

Can I print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do I have to have an air printer?

It depends on the printer and if it is shared on your home network.
I have a wireless HP printer, but it is not an E Printer and cannot print directly from my mobile device. I purchased an Epson all in one E Printer so that I could print from my tablet. THe printer cost me less than $90 at Walmart.
(Epson 600 series all in one)

I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad. What should I do?

I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad3. How do I cure this problem?

If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you need apps like:

Printer Not Connected error with HP Wireless Printer

Hi everyone,
Just bought an iMac, first time ever using OSX and trying to add my new HP 2540 wireless printer. I've spent 4 hours on this so far and now looking for help!
I've followed every instruction to the letter - the wireless connection with the printer is fine as I printed off a report, it will print connected via a cable and it recognises my printer in applications and I have done the set up via disc about 20 times uninstallig each time and starting from scratch again. I've downloaded the latest driver from HP. All I get is a 'printer is not connected/printing looking for printer' endless bar when I click 'print'. It seems to be an issue of it not recogising it over the wireless connection despite it being connected to my router.
What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
Many Thanks!

Connecting a printer is pretty simple if you follow Apple's process, ignore HP's guides!!
You can find Apple's instructions by clicking Mac Basics: Printing in OS X
In the event you still have trouble give AppleCare a phone call, you have 90 days of free telephone support and Apple can help resolve most issues. If you don't know the phone number in your area please click Contact Apple for support and service to locate it.
Good luck and welcome to the light side.

Epson R1800 printer options missing when using AEBS wireless printing- WHY?

I have run into a very odd problem with my Epson R1800 printer. When I install the printer for directly connecting via USB or FireWire the version 6.12 print driver appears with all of the options. When I install the same printer when connected through my AirPort extreme base station the print driver is lacking most of the adjustment features.
Fire wire and USB contain the following menu items in the drop down print dialog"
Print Settings (with basic and advanced tabs)
Roll Paper Option
Expansion
Extension Settings
The AEBS printer options only contains one printer specific selection called:
Printer Features
which has a very limited selection of options, an no options which allow me to turn off color management.
Some additional information
- I installed this same printer driver on one laptop back in the days of 10.5.2 and I was able to install a AEBS printer which allows all of the options. On that same computer if I now install a new printer with the same driver those extra options are missing.
- I just upgraded a second laptop to Leopard today and went straight to 10.5.3 and the wireless driver for this printer only contains the limited menu items.
- I am certain that I am using the Epson drivers and not the Gutenprint drivers. Please do not suggest the Gutenprint drivers, they do not handle color management properly.

This is a real problem for this printer OS combination... I believe due to the crappy Epson driver. I searched the internet and found lots and lots of people having a similar problem. When I contacted Epson today they admitted there was a driver problem, but the tech told me they had no plans to improve the driver 'because the R1800 is a discontinued model'! How's that for support!
Anyway...several people have had fairly decent luck removing the printer and all Epson software then re-installing it. When the 'correct' driver is installed it will say something like "Epson R1800 (sp) 1". My problem is there is no way to profile this printer and have the driver work as it should for proofing and color management. I know that doesn't help much, but if you google "Epson R1800 problems with Leopard" you'll see what I mean.

WRT110 wireless printer connection to Brother HL-2170W wireless printer

New here and I have a question.
I have Linksys WRT110 wireless router that works great. I have 7 notebooks working very well. Assignment were done with WEP connection and made sure that all the MAC addresses are registered and limits that router to recognize only computers with such MAC addresses... no problems at al here.
Recently I bought Brother HL-2170W wireless printer... followed all the instructions in their manual, registered its MAC address in my router, provided WEP key to the printer (via their web browser utility)... and this is where the brain fart started...
I can ping to my router just fine... I can ping the printer from the router just fine... however, I can not get the printer to work with any of my notebooks... It works fine if I connect it via USB or Ethernet connections, but nothing on the wireless side..
I know the IP address that this printer was assigned via DHCP... When I programmed the printer with the correct IP address, it also points to port number 9100... and this is where it falls apart...
Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong or better yet, what step am I missing?
Thank you in advance!

You said "I know the IP address that this printer was assigned via DHCP... When I programmed the printer with the correct IP address, it also points to port number 9100...".
When you programmed the printer, do you mean that you entered the DHCP assigned address directly into the printer, so the printer could use it as a fixed (static) LAN IP address? If so, this might be the cause for your problem. When you manually assign an IP address to a printer (or other network device), by entering that address directly into the printer, then you must use an IP address that is outside the DHCP server range. See "Using Static LAN IP addresses" below, for more info on this topic.
Additionally, to get your printer to work, you must install the network printer drivers on each computer that will use that printer.
Additionally, for WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your printer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
***** Using Static LAN IP addresses *****
Linksys has several rules for using fixed (static) LAN IP addresses. You must follow these rules carefully.
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.

Printer HP Laserjet P1102 unable to set/print into EconoMode

I just purchased Printer HP Laserjet P1102 and the installation was good. But I could not set the Printer Setting to EconoMode. Even the EconoMode check box was thicked, the printer print in normal (bold)... so that waste my toner.

Are you running Windows 7 in Boot Camp, or do you have a Mac with virtualization of Windows 7 on top of some Mac OS X, using some virtualization software? Classic Mac operating systems can't run Windows 7, but can run MS-DOS and Windows 2000 or earlier in emulation.

I have a hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer how can i setup for wireless printing my os is windows7.

how do i setup my hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer for wireless printing my operating system is windows7

Unplug the USB cable. Now go to Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > Deskjet 3050 > Add a Device. Run the program and choose Wireless as the installation type.
Follow the directions. It will ask you to connect a USB cable temporarily. Do not connect until it asks and remove it when it tells you.
Finally, when you are done, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete the USB instance of the printer so you don't get confused when printing.

My hp office jet printer will not scan a document wirelessly print works fine on wireless any thoughts on this problem

my hp printer will not scan a document wirelessly the wireless print funtion works fine i have to plug the usb cable into the laptop to scan a document any thoughts on how to do this wirelessly thanks

i have to plug the usb cable into the laptop to scan a document
This is because HP has not provided network USB drivers to allow scanning when the all-in-one is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
HP has only provided drivers to allow printing when the all-in-one is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. To be fair, other manufacturers who offer all-in-one products do the same thing.
If you need to scan documents, you will need to connect the all-in-one to the USB port on your computer....until HP offers full featured network USB drivers. Check with HP Support for possible progress in this regard.
If your all-in-one happens to offer wireless connection options or wired Ethernet options to connect to your network, you should have full functionality that way.

How do I install an wireless printer, how do I install an wireless printer

I have a HP Envy printer already installed to a lap top, I am having a problem printing form my macbook pro. how do I get my Macbook to recognize printer.

First you have to connect the Printer to the MacBook Pro, then if you are connected to te Internet it should download the sufficient drivers. Then you can unplug it, and connect the printer to your wireless network. If for some odd reason you can't, you can type in Spotlight (the little magnifying glass in the top right corner) and type in (Print and Fax) there you will see a window and at the bottom there should be a plus. And your computer should connect to the printer.
