Printing from Mac Mini to HP PSC 1215 all-in-one

I have installed the HP Mac driver for the PSC 1215 which is connected to my Mac via a USB. The PSC will scan perfectly to the Mac but will not print. The Print command keeps reverting to stop before the printer activates.
Has anyone encountered this and come up with a solution?

Thanks,
I got round this by setting up the printer in the printer set up utility as two different printers which the Mac now recognises i.e. as a wireless printer and as a usb printer.

Print from Macbook Pro to HP PSC 1215 all in one on Windows 7

If I print from my new Macbook pro wirelessly to the HP PSC 1215 All in One connected to a USB port on a Windows 7 PC, the print job appears in the queue on the Windows 7 PC, the printer on/resume light starts to flash, the printer makes a few clicks, but nothing prints. Apple support say it's the fault of the HP driver. HP support says the printer is more than 5 years old, so tough, buy a new printer. Does anyone know how to solve this problem without buying a new printer ?

Hello,
Thanks for the post. I've attached a link below that may assist with this printing issue. Good Luck!

NOT PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 7 TO MY PHOTOSMART c7180 ALL-IN-ONE (I CAN SEE MESSAGES IN QUEUE)?

CANNOT PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 7 TO MY PHOTOSMART c7180 ALL-IN-ONE (I CAN SEE MESSAGES IN QUEUE)?

Hi,
I think you need to remove the queue. Please try:
    hold down the Windows key and press R.
    from the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
    if the machine asks for Admin you have to accept this,
    look down to the print spooler service, right click it and select properties
    click on the Stop button,
    browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\printers
    delete the job inside this folder
    reboot the machine
Regards.

Mac Mini and the HP Photosmart All in One Scanner

When I got my Mac Mini from MacMall, I got the free HP Printer (C3180 Photosmart all in one) printer works fine, copier works fine, but I am not able to Scan. HP is no help because their chat customer service reps "are only trained on PC related issues". The basic problem is that when I try to scan using the HP Device Manager, it either freezes up and I have to force quit or it comes up with a message saying scanner not found. I already re-installed the drivers, but no luck.
Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem?
Thank you,
Matsonian

Yes, I even reloaded the drivers and reinstalled everything. Interesting part.... when I reinstalled, for the first initial preview scan it worked, gave me the full image on the preview screen, but after that, nothing. Wouldn't re scan, would do a final scan. And from that point doesn't even see the scanner. Worked for 30 seconds, then nothing. Printer works, copier works, but scanner is MIA.

I'm running 10.5.8, trying to print from Word 08 to a HP C5180 all in one, getting random text along top of first page then the printer keeps feeding paper through.

I downloaded the driver and software from HP for my OS, during installation it says HP Monitor Tray? quit unexpectedly, then it says installed successfully. I opened Word 08 for Mac, typed a test page, hit print, and the first page came out with three lines of words and numbers, then the printer continued to feed blank sheets through? I tried printing from TextEdit and it says "Textedit quit unexpectedly." Please help, I am new to the Mac and this is driving me nuts. Thanks.

That happens when the printer driver sends binary when ASCII or something else is expected. It ususally means the driver is goofed up.
If this is an inkjet all-in-one, most of those are "dumb" printers that have a "monolithic" driver that does the imaging on the Mac, then sends the bitmap to the printer.
The default for Mac OS X Printers is to send Postscript to the printer. So if there was any trouble installing the driver or setting up the Printer, it would end up a generic postscript, and that would go badly.

"Stuttered" printing in middle of page on psc 2175 all in one

I have been very happy with my 2175 for several years.
Then today I have experienced all kinds of problems.
A lot of noises, best described as Grinding. Also, the msg "Open door, clear carriage jam then press enter, -- following which I would get a msg to the effect of "Close cartridge Door, etc."
I have went through the procedures (several times) found on the website for trouble shooting the problems including doing the "cleaning procedures", (including cartridges and paper rollers/wheels doing a through search for any paper jams etc . (none found),doing all the power off- power on -- cycling suggestions.
Right now, I have been able to print without strange noises, But I have "stuttered" printing in the middle of page of any printed document -- a MS Word Letter, or a printed webpage for example . By "Stuttered" I mean a slight shift and reprint of characters.
The shift is much less than a standard character width on some documents consisting of only 2 or 3 characters. By middle of page, I mean the stuttering is confined to about 10 per cent of the page width - and right in the middle. The Left and right sides of the printed document appear fine.
Is it time for a new printer? I hope not.
Thanks,

Gently clean the encoder strip as described here. Heed the warnings, the strip is fragile and can be damaged by rough handling.

How to print from mac pro to 7520

Trying to print from Mac ProBook to my HP 7520 all-in-one printer. I don't want to use USB nor WiFi. How do I set that up?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Beverly,
Thanks for clarifying.
So you would like to use a wireless connection without using a Wireless router.. that can be done using the HP Wireless Direct feature which create a wireless network, hosted by the printer itself:
On the printer control panel, touch the Wireless icon ( ).
Touch Settings , and then touch Wireless Direct . The Wireless Direct Settings menu displays.
On the printer control panel, touch Wireless Direct again, and then choose a security option:
Touch On (No Security) if you do not want to use a passcode to connect, Touch On (With Security) if you want to use a pre-assigned passcode to connect and then touch Yes to continue
NOTE: If Auto-Off is enabled, touch OK when the control panel prompts you to disable Auto-Off .
Touch Display Password , and then touch OK to continue.
5. From the Mac click the Wi-Fi icon, select Join Other Network and then click Show Network.
6. Select the Wireless Direct network of your printer, it will include 7520 within its name.
7. Now you may install the Software from the link below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-106189-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
If you leave the truck, I believe the Mac should reconnect to the network automatically but I'm not sure, you may have to click the Wi-Fi icon and select the Wireless Direct network when getting back.

HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer and Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)

I just installed the new OS X (Mavericks) on my mac yesterday, and now my printer, an old but reliable HP psc 1210 all-in-one, will not install. I was previously running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopord) and had no problems with the printer. Is there anything I can do to install my printer on the new OS? My computer doesn't even recognize that there is a printer connected via USB when I try to install it... is there anything I can do?

Hello,
Here is a link to a support document on hp.com on how to install on OS X Mavericks.

Does hp support a HP psc 1500 all in one printer

I can not print in black. I've re uninstalled and re installed my printer at least 6 times, can not find my printer which is a HP psc 1500 all in one listed therefore I used software for 1510 all in one. It prints all text in light blue. I've tried changing my printing preferences many different ways. Nothing seems to correct this problem. I've run a test page and it printed two lines in black( black print read HP PSC 1500 series and my serial number on the second line) and 3 color blocks and the rest was small squares and small lines in 3 columns. My frustration level is at an all time high. I've literally spent an entire day trying to fix this problem. Please help before I do something RASH. Thank You, Greta2

Hey @greta2,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand you're having a print quality issue with your HP PSC 1500 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you in resolving this and have some steps that may improve your print quality. You were correct in using the 1510 All-in-One drivers as they are compatible with your printer. Additionally, you were very diligent in approaching the problem from a software perspective - this rules out printer settings as being the most likely cause of the absence of black ink in your printouts.
From what you're describing with the test-page printout, I would recommend that you troubleshoot the issue at the hardware level. For starters, click on the following article heading and work your way through Steps 2 through 6 to better diagnose the issue:
Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors
As I suspect your print diagnostic page (Steps 3-6) will be lacking black ink in some parts as before, proceed with the following steps:
Run the clean print cartridges utility
Open the Printer Toolbox. There are two ways to do this:
Open HP Director (or HP Solution Center), select the Settings menu, then the Print Settings submenu, and finally the Printer Toolbox.
Open Printers and Faxes in the Windows Control Panel, then right-click your printer icon and choose Properties. Click on Printing Preferences. Click the Services tab, then the Service This Device icon.
The Printer Toolbox opens. On the Device Services tab, click Clean the Print Cartridges , then follow the on-screen instructions. Up to three levels of cleaning are available. Discard or recycle the page that prints.
Clean the contacts
Gather the following items to clean the cartridge and carriage:
Clean distilled water. Use bottled or filtered water if distilled water is not available. Tap water can contain contaminants that damage the cartridge.
Clean cotton swabs or any soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the cartridges (coffee filters work well).
Sheets of paper or a paper towel to rest the cartridge on during cleaning.
Open the cartridge access door and wait until the carriage is idle and silent.
Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
Remove the cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the nozzle plate facing up.
NOTE:Do not leave the cartridges outside of the printer for more than 30 minutes. If the cartridge is outside of the printer for too long, the ink can dry and clog the nozzles.
Dip a clean foam-rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from it.
Clean only the copper-colored contacts
Figure : Clean the contacts
Copper-colored contacts
Ink nozzles (do not clean)
Repeat these steps for the other cartridge.
Lightly moisten another cotton swab with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from the swab.
Use the swab to clean the electrical contacts in the carriage, located inside the printer on the carriage slots.
Figure : The electrical contacts in the cartridge slots
Wait 10 minutes to allow the cartridge and carriage electrical contacts to dry.
Reinstall the cartridges.
Close the cartridge access door.
Reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.
Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
Try to print a page.
If you are still unable to print, repeat these steps to clean and reseat the cartridges. Multiple cleanings might be necessary to restore printing.
Black cartridges only: remove and rest for two hours
NOTE:The procedure below will not fix missing lines or streaked bars printed by the tri-color, photo, or gray photo cartridges, or other color printing problems. Only perform the steps below if the black print cartridge has printed defective patterns, or if you notice non-uniform black text darkness.
In the black print cartridge, this problem may be caused by sediments collecting in the nozzle area. Follow the steps below to solve this problem:
Remove the black print cartridge.
If the carriage has a latch, relatch it and then close the printer - this is important. If the printer is not closed, it cannot adequately protect the remaining tri-color cartridge.
Place the cartridge on a level surface with the nozzles up (label down).
Figure : Cartridge with the nozzles up
Allow the cartridge to sit undisturbed for two hours.
Reinstall the cartridge and print another self test page.
Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Printer and Faxes folder.
Right-click the icon for your printer and choose Preferences.
Choose the Services tab and click Service this Device. The printer Toolbox opens.
On the Devices Services tab, click Print a Diagnostic Page.
Look for defects on the page.
If the self test page shows no defects for the black cartridge, and if the cartridge was new, align the cartridge. To align the cartridge, follow the steps below:
Load fresh, white paper.
Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Printer and Faxes folder.
Right-click the icon for your printer and choose Preferences.
Choose the Services tab and click Service this Device. The printer Toolbox opens.
On the Device Services tab, click Align the Printer.
If the cartridge was not new, there is no reason to align the printer.
If the page still shows defects, go to the next step.
Replace the problem cartridge
If a cartridge replacement was not tried previously to solve this problem, replace the problem cartridge now. Click here (c00206040) (in English) to see if the cartridge is covered under warranty.

Iphone e print/air print issues with HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One A909n

I downloaded the 4.2 upgrade for iphone thinking I would be able to print from my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-In-One A909n. I have upgraded the HP firmware. I have turned my printer on and off. I get an error message that says "No printer found." I am not able to contact HP due to my warranty being expired--even though I bought the extended warranty from the store. Please help. Thanks!

This printer is listed here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01619067&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3857218#N46...
has offering eprint. However, some community messages say that it does not work.
I have not been able to get an email address set up for the printer, or to figure out whether or not it is web services enabled.
It does not have the icon on the touch screen that is shown in the hp instructions.
Any clues out there?

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

Switching from Mac Mini to Macbook Air

Hello, this is my first post in this forum and I hope that I chose the right category.
Right now I'm running a Mac Mini 2011 Base model, that is the one with an 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and I have also upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB.
I know want to take a step further into the Mac laptops and I have my eye on the Macbook Air but I have some questions.
The work I do is mostly writing code and light photo editing with Photoshop, no heavy photo editing or video rendering. I want to know which Macbook Air I should pick to get about the same performance as the 2011 Mac Mini that I'm running right now because I'm very happy with my Mac Mini.
Here are some questions:
1. How do the processors stand up to the Mac Mini? The latest Macbook Air of course runs the new Haswell processors but I'm uncertain if I should pick the upgraded i7 processor that's available. The Macbook Air has a lower clock frequency than the Mac Mini and I was wondering if the Macbook Air can stack up.
2. Should I get the 11 inch or the 13 inch screen? I will be doing most of my work hooked up to an external monitor but sometimes I feel the need to sit down at an more comfortable place. Is there anyone who has any experience with web design/coding on an Macbook Air monitor?
I'm already planning on getting the 8GB of RAM upgrade and probably the 256GB SSD too.
I'm very thankful for any answer whatsoever!
Sincerely,
Fabian Lindfors

Mac Mini is great isnt it? Got a couple of them and typing on one now.
My new base model 2013 macbook Air I5 with 8gig of ram
vs. what im currently using now,... this Mac Mini QUAD CORE with 16 gig of ram.
Honestly on simplex Photoshop editing I notice NO difference between my quad core 16gig RAM Mac Mini and my Macbook Air 13" I5.
Ive had both 11" and 13" macbook Air, I really wouldn't go back to the 11".
Also the battery life in the 13" is a lot more than the 11". Much larger Lithium Polymer battery packs on the 13"
Yes, get the 8gig of ram regardless
Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.
