Printer for Lion and airprint

Can anyone recoomend a printer that works well and for sure with Lion and also with Airpint for the I pad ? I have been trying to make an HP-CP1025 nw work with Lion and airprint for 3 days (on the phone with HP support) and finally decided to give up. An reccommendation woudl be great. A siple printer would be best. Thanks

hi there,
Thanks for your reply.
I agree there has to be a recurring problem that is not due to hardware. HP has sent me 3 printers as they claim is a 'hardware' issue, but I cannot believe that 3 printers in row are failing ! 
I have a an Apple Airport Express (brand new) plugged into a modem from Time Warner Cable service. The model of the modem box is: Scientific Atlanta 2100 (on the back the unit is listed: DCP 2100R2)
Any suggestions you may have are greatly helpful. I intend to buy a new printer (HP refunded me) but I need to make sure it will work with the configuration I have here). By the way, I do not know what multucasting is, should I call Apple or Time Warner to find out if multicasting is supported by my device ?
Thanks again

    Need new compact printer for lion os, suggestions?

  • Dual boot for lion and SL

    BHow do I set up the dual boot for Lion and snow leopard oon the same internal hard disK
    What does Time machine do  under the dual boot?

    I am also considering putting Lion and SL on separate hard drives.
    Since this is an iMac forum, I assume you will use an external drive as the second drive. Use one that connects via firewire, not via USB.
    Both on a single drive -
    OK. Doing it on a single drive means you will need to partition the internal drive. Although this is straight forward, it is always best to back up the existing drive first, just in case. It's a good idea to have a backup on a different drive, anyway.
    To do that, clone the entire internal drive to the external drive.
    I would suggest, though, that you first partition the external drive. I would suggest four equal-size partitions, provided the drive is big enough - at least 1.0TB, though a 2.0TB drive might be better. You can use OS X's disk utility to do that. Go to the Partition page in Disk Utility, select your external driv in the list on the left, then use the Partition Layout menu to select the number of partitions. Set the format to Mac OS Extended (journaled) GUID for all partitions. Click the Apply button.
    The easy way to do the cloning is to use a cloning utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Clone the entire internal drive to one of the partitions on the external drive. Then test boot to it (use Startup Disk in System Preferences to do that) to verify the integrity of the clone. At that time I would suggest you change the background design/picture for the desktop to aomething other than the one used on the original drive - this can be a handy visual reminder of which volume you are booted to.
    Then add a partition to the internal drive. To do that, run Disk Utility. Go to the Partition page, select your internal drive in the list on the left, but do not use the Partition Layout menu this time. Instead, click the existing volume in the graphic display, then click the plus ("+") button underneath that display -
    This will add a partition without erasing the existing information - i.e., the drive will end up with two partitions, one of which will contain your original boot volume.
    Use Startup Disk to re-select your original boot violume, and restart back into it.
    Now, clone the original drive again using CCC, but this time to the second partition of the internal drive, the one you just added.
    Boot to that freshly cloned volume to verify it. Then, while still booted to it, install OS X 10.7 Lion onto it.
    This will result in your original Snow Leopard on the first partition of the internal drive, and Lion on the second partition of the internal drive.
    The external drive will have Snow Leopard on one partition, one partition will be empty (available for a clone of Lion if you wish, or use it for extra storage). The remaining two partitions can be used for Time Machine backups - one for Snow Leopard, one for Lion.
    If you want to have each OS on its own hard drive, then you can use the first clone of Snow Leopard to the external to be upgraded to Lion, or upgrade the orignal on the internal drive to Lion. Be sure to boot to the volume to be used for Lion before installing it so that Lion is installed onto the correct boot volume.
    You can then use the empty partition on the internal drive as the backup (or Time Machine) volume for the OS on the external drive, and vice versa. In this arrangement you may need only partition the external into two volumes.
    If you have a different scheme in mind for partitioning, feel free to do that. I don't use Time Machine, so don't have the need to make space for it. Carbon Copy Cloner can be used to do incremental backups after the initial backup - but I don't use that, either. I'm old school - after the inital cloning for backup, I do manual backups of files on the fly.
    Comments -
    * I would suggest keeping both Snow Leopard and Lion on the internal drive. Reason - even though firewire 800 is fast, it is still noticeably slower than an internal drive. OS's on an external drive will run slower than those on an internal drive.
    • I don't like the concept of Time Machine. Amongst other things, it seems to want more space on the target volume than it actually needs; and it is not a bootable replication. A clone of a bootable volume is bootable.
    • It was just a few days ago that I went through the same process as you are planning. One slight difference - I used a 1.0TB external partitioned into 3 equal volumes, since I had no need to allow space for Time Machine. I have Snow Leopard and Lion each on its own partition of the internal drive; and cloned backups of each on the external drive, plus one GP partition on the external drive.
    • If you have not yet downloaded Lion, be prepared for it to take a while; it's almost 4GB in size. Probably be a good idea to defeat sleep for the duration.
    • Cloning takes a while, but not that long - it took 30 minutes to clone 45GB to the external drive, and 45 minutes to clone it to the second internal partition.

  • I paid for Lion and downloaded once to my lap top.  Now I want to download to my IMac

    I paid for Lion and downloaded it to my lap top and now want to download it to  my IMac and cant' find it on ITunes anywhere.  Where is it?

    Lion is not in iTunes. It is in the Mac App Store. Be sure to sign in with the same Apple ID so you don't have to pay twice.

  • How do I create 2 Recovery partitions: one for Lion and one for Mountain Lion?

    Well that is basically the question:
    How do I create 2 recovery partitions: one for Lion and one for Mountain Lion?
    Reason is that I would like to keep the option to return to Lion, or even better, have a seperate partition for eacht?

    can I access my programs from the other partition, so I can save space ...
    No, as far as I know, each one is completely separate - especially if you're dealing with two different versions of OS's.
    is it possible to safely make an extra partion on a running drive (it is my main computer ...) The disk is large enough ...
    how large would this have to be
    I've personally never done it on a running drive - have read it's possible, but don't want to suggest it since I've never done it and wouldn't be sure about the steps. This is how I got to two partitions on my iMac:
    Originally, I had just one partition with Snow Leopard. I used CCC to clone that to an external drive. Booted into that drive and used DU to partition and erase the internal. I then cloned the new clone back. Also cloned the same thing to the other partition which I then upgraded to Lion. So I had two OS's - SL and Lion. I've now decided to clone my SL to an external drive for occasional use and installed ML on that partition - so now I have Lion and ML.
    There are two ways to get a "fresh" install: either download the OS again and install it on a partition of your choice or, as I've done as well, copy the installer to a safe place so you don't need to download it again. It does include whatever apps/software is included in the OS.  I've designated two smaller partitions on externals as my "fresh" installs of both Lion and ML for emergency or reinstall purposes (this is my way of dealing with not having install DVDs) - I took the time to install it there and then slowly add fresh installs of my important apps (either via download or install CD) - don't bother with the little/less used stuff, a current copy of that can be downloaded if and when I need it. I don't really update those two - that can also be done if/when I need it since that'll always change.
    So, yesterday, I decided I wanted to start fresh with ML - booted into my fresh install of Lion (on external), wiped the SL partition on my internal and installed Lion. Decided to download a fresh copy of the ML installer and installed that. Then ran Software Update. After that, repaired permissions. Then I methodically opened every third party app and checked for updates - installed those where necessary. After all that, I simply copied (drag 'n drop) my entire Documents folder (which contains all my important data,, photos, etc) over from another backup.
    This took a while, but mostly because of the long download times; the installs weren't all that bad. I should be running a really clean system now, especially since nothing was ported over except my Documents folder.

  • I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone.  See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

  • I have been using my printer for APPS and now it wont print documents and ordinary printing

    Could you tell me why my photosmart all in one printer will not print normal documents and files from my pc or other device I have just been usong the apps on it to try out but now will not print out anything else like normal things from my computer or ipod or iphone.

    Hi, sandie18.
    Does your iPhone say "No AirPrint Printers Found?"  If you check the printer's status on your computer, is it offline?
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.

  • Basic Troubleshooting for ePrint and AirPrint

    Some of our users experience temporary issues with AirPrint, ePrint and in using our Web Services provided through the ePrintCenter website. There can be a number of issues which can lead to these problems, but I am giong to do my best job at trying help figure them out. 
    With AirPrint, you are dealing with just your local network. If you are having issues with AirPrint here are the first few steps you can take to correct the issue. 
    1. Make sure that both devices are on the same network and share the same SSID. Sometimes one device will be connected to a "guest" network, and this will prevent cross communication. 
    2. Turn off Bluetooth. Rarely, but I have seen this happen before, will Bluetooth interfere with communication with our printers. This is because AirPrint was written to use the same channel as Bluetooth. And like having two radio stations which are very close to each other, you will sometimes experience interference which will inhibit the signal. 
    3. Reconnect the printer to the wireless network - simply re-running the wireless setup wizard fixes many connection issues 
    4.  Assign your printer a static IP and Google DNS (at the bottom of the screen the configuration should read 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Here a video on how to set that - 
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llYNMNKJMX4
    5.  After that, if you are still experiencing the same issue I would perform a network reset, so that all the devices reconnect to the servers properly and to your network. First turn off your machine (and other devices on the network you wish to communicate with the printer [e.g. phones/tablets]), then unplug your router, after ten seconds plug the router back in. Once the lights are all back to normal (flashing, steady or otherwise) power the machine back on followed by your other devices and test printing again. 
    With ePrint and our printer enabled apps, sometimes these will not be able to be used temporarily. Like most networks, the HP cloud does go through periodic times when the servers are down for maintenance, upkeep, and updating. These can cause temporary outages in some of the connected apps as well as some of the services that HP provides. 
    However, if you are experiencing long term issues with ePrint or the printer apps, there are a few things you can do to correct the problem 
    1. Reconnect the printer to the wireless network - simply re-running the wireless setup wizard fixes many connection issues 
    2. Assign your printer a static IP and Google DNS (at the bottom of the screen the configuration should read 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Here a video on how to set that - 
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llYNMNKJMX4
    3.  After that, if you are still experiencing the same issue I would perform a network reset, so that all the devices reconnect to the servers properly and to your network. First turn off your machine, then unplug your router, after ten seconds plug the router back in. Once the lights are all back to normal (flashing, steady or otherwise) power the machine back on and test the connection to the server again. 
    4. Lastly, if those steps have failed you can disable and re-enable web services. This will cause you to lose your personalized printer email address and you will have to remove your printer's original information from ePrintCenter and reconfigure the applications and services you desire. However if this is necessary, you can contact our free support at the number below (for US and Canadian customers)

  • I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for Lion, and I have Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow leopard?

    I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for OS Lion, and I have OS Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow Leopard?

    The simplest method would be to ask them for their Snow Leopard version and say you can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8. I'm almost sure they will sell you a copy.
    Generally if your machine can only upgrade to 10.7 Lion and not directly to 10.8 Mountain Lion, then it's best left on 10.6.8. in my opinion as your going to loose too much other software and slow down your machine in the process.
    This rapid OS X upgrade cycle has caused plenty of problems for users and developers alike, so I suspect you will find a sympathizer with the developer.
    In fact I'm not recommending Mac's to anyone anymore because Apple simply has lost touch with reality.

  • Setting default printer for Black and White

    I have no problem setting up my printer to print black and white only using my pc, but am having difficulty setting the default for the printer on my OSX 10.5.2. I've read the posts and can't locate where this setting is done. I even removed the printer and tried readding it without any success. So, how do I set my HP Officejet to print in black and white as a default and allow me to print in color when needed?

    You could use the built-in presets facility to make a b&w setting and a color setting. Then when you print, you simply select the appropriate preset. Also, the last preset that you use will be the default next time you print, so this can also help speed up your printing.
    Reply if you need instructions for creating presets.
    One final point. Some applications, such as MS Office, have a 'Print One Copy' printer icon in the toolbar. When you use this shortcut, the print dialog is not opened - the file simply prints. For these types of application, the preset is not used so that job will print in color if that is the default printer function. But you can change the toolbar icon function so that it opens the print dialog instead of just printing. Again, if you need instruction then please reply.

  • External HD suggestion for Lion and Snow Leopard

    I have a new Mac Mini running OS X Lion, plus a MB Pro running Snow Leopard.  I am looking to buy a new external hard drive to be able to back up both.  Any suggestions?  Any particular pitfalls with Lion and external HDs?

    Basic Backup
    Get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    Synk Pro
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
    Cool Drives
    OWC
    WiebeTech
    Firewire Direct
    California Drives
    NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Force Feedback for Lion and Saitek R440 Wheel

    I just got Dirt2 from the App-Store and it works fine.
    Except my wheel a SAITEK R440 Force Feedback just lets me control the car but there is no force feedback with it.
    So I wrote a mail to Feral and got a simple answer:
    "Apple took out the support for force feedback from lion and so it wont work at all.
    We hope Apple would fix this problem one fine day"
    Is this correct?
    If YES: When will Apple support Force Feedback for Wheels (to play Dirt2 at full range)
    If NO: Whts going wrong with my device?
    Can you help me please.
    Andre

    All steering wheels that have force feedback in Snow Leopard you can fix in Lion by using the hint on the vgp3depot forums. However that solution is not offically supported. I don't know if Force Feedback ever worked on the Saitek wheels on the Mac as I don't think Saitek wrote any drivers.
