How can I get my macbook pro running Lion to print on my HP photosmart 309a??

Did you install the drivers? Or have Software Update install them? This printer is supported:

HP Photosmart 309a - the fix for not printing black, resulted in wireless radio not functioning.

My HP Photosmart 309a printer was not printing black, trying various ideas from this forum, I used the #6 reset (after replacing cartridges etc etc). This was successful and the black printed out on a test page, but then I couldn't reconnect wirelessly to the PC.
The Wireless Network Test Report says the Wireless is on, but that the Wireless radio is not functioning. (It seems that the #6 did something to the Wireless on the printer.)
The #6 reset turned the wireless radio off. After I turned it on again its search still did not find any wireless routers.
I have tried various printer resets, #3, #6 to no avail. Would appreciate any further ideas.
This is my second HP printer. I got rid of my last one recently, when I couldn't get it to print black, even though it was stilll quite new. This one is certainly not a year old, but because we are selling our house and have put almost everything in storage I don't have access to the receipts, so cannot get the printer replaced.

Alignment failed photosmart 309a

Hi All,
Suddenly my HP printer (Photosmart 309a) has reverted to the date of January 00 and will not print in alignment.
I get the following message: 'Alignment Failed' evreytime I try to use it. I have changed ink, it has the correct paper and I have just updated the drivers.
Any helpful advice would really be appreciated before I throw it out of the window!!
Many thanks,

I'm sorry you are having this problem with your printer. One more thing you can try is to reset the printer according to this document:

HP Photosmart 309a

My HP Photosmart 309a will not copy in black, I printed in black but it was very light. I checked the vents, restarted the printer, changed my black cartridge even though it was new in case I got a bad one. Tried the cleaning, nothing printed. I copied in color a business card, the red showed up but the black was very faint. Every time I select copy/black I get a blank page from the flat bed and the document feeder.

Hi slandry, and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing ink out issues. I would like to try and help.
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset on the printer.
I would then suggest following the steps laid out in this document on The Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

AirPrint on New HP Photosmart 309a - Will HP PLEASE support this? Still selling them in stores!!!!

OK, so does anybody know if HP will provide a firmware update for the HP Photosmart 309a to support AirPrint? They are still selling them in stores, and pushing sales of them on their Black Friday promotion over the weekend. Completely absurd that there is nothing available for this on a printer that has such an array of features.

Hello,
Only the new 'e-Print' enabled HP printers are AirPrint compatible and there will not be any firmware updates for any previous models.
There is an app on the iTunes store, HP iPrint Photo v3.0, that provides printing with the Photosmart C309 series

Cannot do wireless printing to HP Photosmart C7180 since upgrading to Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit

     I recently upgraded one of my new HP p6150t Pavillion PCs from Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Since then I have not been able to print to my networked printer, an HP Photosmart C7180 All-in-One, which is wireless on my home network. When this PC was Vista, I was able to print. Two other PCs on my home network, both running XP, can access the printer across the network and print. This PC now running Windows 7 64-bit can find the networked printer when I "Add-a-printer", and I am able to finish the installation of the printer.
     I downloaded and installed new drivers for the HP C7180 from the HP website specifically for Windows 7 64-bit, so I have the latest drivers. (The version of the drivers is 13.1.0, date is 10-2009. From the same HP printer driver download site, I also installed " HP Print Software Patch When Upgrading Vista to Windows 7".
     I do not want to install the printer as a shared device on any of the other PCs, but rather want to be able to print from any of them, direct wirelessly, even if the other PCs are offline. And I was able to do this when I used Vista...
     If I open and leave visible the print queue for the printer, and then print a Test Page, I see the print job briefly shown as "Spooling" and then as "Printing" in the print queue display, but nothing ever reachs the printer. There are no error messages, either during the process of Adding the Printer, or when sending Test Pages, or other print jobs to the printer.
     I have McAfee antivirus and Firewall installed on all of my PCs. The Firewall advanced setting for Networks shows that the IP address range for all of my IPs are trusted.
    [Although I just bought this PC from hp.com only 4 months ago, as part of a package of 2 PCs, a MediaSmart server, big hdtv monitor, and all with 4 year extended support agreements, HP provides "NO" support for network printing. That was what a support specialist called to tell me after I sent an email to the HP CEO. HP PCs, HP printer, HP provided upgrade kit for Windows 7, but if you want to actually print from your HP PC to your HP printer, there is "NO" support. (I worked for HP for ten years, but it is clearly a different company now.) So, if anyone in the Community can assist, I would very much appreciate it.]

I have a year old Epson and an HP.. I upgraded to a win 7 64 bit and doing some sharing/networking.. Got some 32 bit XPand two win 7 64 bit.. The Epson ,shares and connects up with no issues.. the HP is just a fiasco... No more HP for me ...

Serious printing problem - HP Photosmart 7350 / Mac OS 10.6.6

Hello to all helpers!
Recently, I encountered a serious problem with my printer, an HP Photosmart 7350. This printer has always worked with my setup over an Airport Express network. However, it suddenly stopped working mid-job last weekend after updating to Mac OS 10.6.6, and I have not found any solutions. The printer has power, plenty of ink and paper, and appears to be connected to the computer, but when a job is sent to it, it tries to initiate printing but it doesn't, and after a few minutes the printer queue pauses itself. The printer will print a test page from itself, but it will not print one sent from the computer.
I've tried many conventional solutions, including:
-deleting the original job and resending it to the printer
-restarting the printer
-restarting the computer
-unplugging the USB cable and power cable and plugging them back in
-replacing the USB cable with a different one
-connecting the printer directly to the computer instead of the Airport Express
-removing and reinstalling the printer driver (Gutenprint 5.2.3)
-repairing disk permissions
-resetting the print system and reinstalling the printer driver
I am completely confused about what happened, but I'm guessing it is an incompatibility issue related to the OS update. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So I have tried the foregoing suggestions and reinstalled with Gutenprint 5.2.6, but I still have the same errors popping up in console, suggesting incompatibility.
Is there any hope for this printer anymore or am I going to Office Depot later today?

Faulty printing through ethernet (PhotoSmart C6280)

Hello, this is my first post. Nice to meet you and happy new year!
My printer is HP PhotoSmart C6280 and I connect it through ethernet to a gigabit switch.
The OS of my main PC is Windows 7 32bit and I use the latest HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers (v13.1.0).
In my LAN, I have manually assigned an IP address for my printer.
I'm facing faulty printing problems: I get 'breaks' in the lines of the printed page. I mean that some portions of the text are printed and other aren't. Also, brightness/contrast of the characters is not the same throughout the page. I tried many times to clean and align the heads but without improvement.
After many tests I have noticed that this problem is more intense when there is network traffic, for example when I download files from the internet (through torrents or rapidshare).
I have another PC in my LAN which I use as a Home Server. This PC runs Windows Home Server and since there are not drivers for this OS, I use Microsoft's drivers for HP 990c, as suggested. The strange thing is that I have no problems when I send the print from this PC (WHS with 990c internal drivers).
Can you help?
Thank you...

Please help!
I suspect that it's a driver issue, since I can print fine through my second PC (Windows Home Server) with the windows internal 990c drivers, regardless of the network traffic.
Are there alternative Windows 7 drivers for my c6280 that I can use?
Better description of the problem: In my main PC (Windows 7) the printing shows horizontal gaps in the text lines and the brightness of the characters is uneven.

All options gone when printing to HP photosmart B8350

This printer, an HP photosmart B8350, used to work with a champ with LR1 (Mac OS 10.5.4).
First time I tried to print out of LR2, all the HP options for selecting paper type, print quality, ink saturation levels, etc. are gone.
All these options are still present if I try to print out of Photoshop.
I updated the HP software, and confirmed that printing functions still work properly on other apps besides LR.
I used Manage by Printer before, and got better results than application-managed (opposite of what others experienced, but hey it worked).
By the way, under Color Management - instead of Managed by Printer or Manged by Application, now it says Managed By Printer or "Other." Selecting "Other" brings up a list of HP profiles for combinations of paper and ink (i.e., Premium Plus / Tri-Color+Grey, Premium Plus / Tri-Color+Photo, etc).
Any ideas? I was already frustrated by the fact that LR2 stopped being able to send files to PS CS3. Now, in order to print from, I have to save files as tifs and then open in PS. Grrr!

When you hit Print, is the dialog that comes up really small? If so, there's a triangle you can hit to the right of the Printer menu in the dialog that'll expand it to full size. This was something Apple added in 10.5 to simplify printing, but it's caused a lot of confusion.
If that's not it, are any of the menu items in the middle menu (the one that starts out saying "Layout") crossed out? If so, you're probably running in 64 bit mode and the printer driver probably does not work in 64 bit. If you're using the latest driver, then try launching Lightroom in 32 bit mode (in the Finder, do Get Info on the application and check Open in 32 Bit Mode).
If neither of those work, let me know.
