Printer connected via WiFi, will not print.

I have a MacBook Pro (2008) running Yosemite 10.10.1 and it is connected wirelessly to my Canon MP530 printer (using a print server). Everything is connected correctly, but when I send a file to print, nothing happens. I am pretty sure I have the correct driver installed because this identical setup works on my other Mac (2009) also running Yosemite 10.10.1.
The only thing I can remotely think of is that on the Mac that won't print, it is an older Mac (2008) running Yosemite. On the Mac that wireless printing works on, it is a newer model (2009) also running Yosemite. I suspect it may be a hardware problem, but not sure.
(and yes, I have also tried the Gutenprint drivers, with no result). I can print from the 2008 Mac using the 2009 Mac as a server, but that's it. I just want to be able to print from the 2009 Mac without connecting it directly to the printer or using the 2009 Mac as a "server". Why does one Mac print wirelessly while the other one will not?
Any suggestions?

PRINT DIRECTLY VIA WIFI TO A PRINTER WITH BBZ10

You might, I don't know.

HelloIs there any application that will allow (without having the computer on) print directly via wifi to a printer that has wifi?.I just bought a SAMSUNG ML2165W that supports wifi and all persons who have a mobile android or IOS are able to print directly except me with my BBz10, is frustrating. The application of samsung (upload http:apk2bar.org) samsung mobile print, specific for this type of printer does not work. Anyway, if anyone has a solution to this problem since it seems lie that a mobil specifically designed to facilitate work, office and company actions, do not allow this type of action. A greeting.

My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint.

My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint. I just get an error message when I go to the HP Eprint centre. It does print the cover e-mail but nothing else. The attachment is not secure as far as I can see. I have tried sending an attachment from my Mac and that worked fine.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello krnkln3.
Are you trying to send the PDF as an attachment in an e-mail sent to the ePrint e-mail address of the printer or are you trying to print using the ePrint app?
Try sending the same PDF document to the printer's ePrint e-mail address and let us know if that works. If this works but using the ePrint app is not working, maybe the ePrint app is not working fine with this PDF document (it could be due to it's size or something else). Remember that you can always use the e-mail ePrint address of the printer to send PDF documents as the processing is happening at the HP servers and not in your iPad as when you try to send it using the ePrint app.
Cheers!

LaserJet Pro Scans, prints test page but will not print from a file

I installed a LaserJet Pro200 MFP M276nw on my wife's Toshiba Satellite (Windows 7 64Bit OS) laptop yesterday (Printer is brand new out of the box). I installed with a wireless connection. It will print a test page and also scan wirelessly but will not print from a file i.e. a PDF. I installed it on my HP Probook this morning and it works fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The thought of paying Geek Squad 75 bucks rubs me the wrong way, especially since i just paid them 100 for an extended warranty. Thanks!

Welcome to the HP Forums JBottensek,
I see by your post that the printer won't print a PDF document from the one computer.
I can help you with this issue.
I have provided a document to go through the steps which should resolve this issue for not being able to print PDF documents. Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader.

I'm able to connect via wifi but not via ethernet

I have a iMac, Mac OS X v10.7.5, and recently had a problem connecting to internet. I can connect via wifi, but when I try connecting via ethernet it's not working. When I go to the preferences > network, it shows "green" / connected for ethernet but when I open up Safari or Firefox, it doesn't show a connection to the internet.

Recently updated to mountain lion ,2nd printer I was using will not print

I recently downloaded Mountain Lion. A 2nd printer I was using (sharing) will not print now. Any suggestions, appearently there are a lot of things that we have to redo after this? Was not aware of this before . We had to reset our mail, etc. Any one else with these kinds of problems?
Thank you for any help

karengjbs,
Some Arris routers do not support Multicast, or Bonjour, the service that AirPrint uses. Verify both devices are still attached to your wireless network and Bluetooth is off on your iPhone. You may also want to power your printer and router off, then power the router on fully, then the printer.
If you need any assistance with the above steps or verify that the router does or does not support the necessary service, please advise.
*I work for HP*

I'm trying to get my new airport extreme to print wirelessly to my samsung clx usb printer and not having any luck. I downloaded the bonjour print wizard and I know there's a signal going to the printer, but it still will not print? Any ideas?

I'm trying to wirelessly print to my samsung printer. I've downloaded the bonjour printer wizard and could tell that a signal was going to my printer but it still would not print. Anyone have any ideas?

You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

Airport Extreme connected via wifi -- will remote MobileMe still work?

I have two Macs: a desktop and a laptop. I have the latest software and I have MobileMe. My internet is physically connected to the desktop computer. The laptop is connected via wifi using a non-Apple router.
According to Apple's website concerning the AirPort Extreme, "Say you’re traveling and you need a file on the hard drive connected to your AirPort Extreme back at home. If you’re a MobileMe member using Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, no problem. You can access all the files on your shared drive over the Internet."
My question is this: if I attach an Airport Extreme to the laptop -- which is connected via wifi to the network -- will I still be able to access the attached hard drive via MobileMe while traveling, or does this work only if the Airport Extreme is directly wired to the internet?
Thanks.

Thanks, very helpful.
Say it loud, this is one of the best things of Airport, you control the volume even with the optical output:
¿However, why I can´t do the same with the optical output of my 2008 Mac Mini?
Each one (Mac mini 2008 and Airport Express 2008) have optical link to both receivers (Denon AVR3805 and Denon AVR1905).
But I must control the volume of the mac mini with the remote of the AVR3805.
It seems Airplay makes some magic, but straight driver of OSX over audio device don´t.
What a PIA (Pain in the ***). They can put Gigabits of audio information in the optical link but they can´t add a layer adding a header of some bytes to the packets, adressed to a smart DAC than can control the analog output with two bytes of information.
IEEE, ¿Will you make a layer specification for smart DACs? Life and devices use would be much simpler.
Apple in the meantime makes the magic he is able with Airplay.
Some day.

Printer connected to Airport will not work after update

I recently updated my airport express firmware to the 7.6.1. The printer was working just fine before I did this. It is connected to the airport base station via USB. The error message is " USB write error: Unable to send 1024 bytes of data"
As I said before everything was fine until I updated the firmware. Any suggestions? What can I do?

Suggest that you try the following:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click on the installed printer to highlight it
Click the -- (minus) button at the bottom of the list to delete the device
Close the Print and Scan box
Power down and restart your Mac
Make sure that the printer is plugged into the USB port and powered up
Open Sysem Preferences
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list area
Hopefully, your printer family will appear in the next window that opens
If yes, click the printer name to highlight it
Click Add
Try to print. Be sure to select the correct printer since it may also be installed on your Mac.
Power down and retart the printer if needed

My hp printer and laptop are connected but it will not print...even though it shows hooked up...

HP Officejet J4500 using Windows 7 64-bit
Has printed before but it has been months....I am sure that updates have come thru during this time.
The printer and my laptop do not seem to recognize each other. My husband can print with no problem using his laptop with windows XP. Help!

It sounds like the issue is isolated to the Windows 7 system since it works on a different computer.
Try using the Print and Scan Doctor as it is designed to resolve many printing issues. The site provides some information about how to use the tool.
If it finds any errors, it will usually attempt to fix them. If it is unable to fix the error, it should give some information about the problem and how to fix it.
Let me know what happens.

1505n printer wired to network will not print configuration for IP address

I have a HP 1505n printer that will not the configuration page so that I can get the IP address to set it up. I know it's not the cat5e cable because I've tested it by plugging my laptop to and it works fine. The operating system is Windows 2008r2. I currently have 2 other 1505n printers which work great using a HP universal driver. Cat5e cable unplugged it will print and UBS cable connected to a PC it will print a usb config page. I followed HP's advice on resetting the printer but get the same results. Any suggestions?

Re: My printer is offline and will not print, How do I fix this?

I have a deskjet printer model 4260. I recently replaced one of the inkcartridges, prior to that the printer worked.
Now I can not get the printer on line, no matter what I do. I am able to print a test page with all colors working.
I am running windows 7. I believe I have tried everything, like plug and play, to shutting the system down and
bringing it back on line.
The router I am using is Linksys it is hard wired

Any help???
Thanks.
