I have a new HP OFFICEJET J6480
Hooked into my airport express (USB)
Using my MacBook Air it does show the printer and shows it as idle
when I hit print on a doc. I want printed I get the error message that
"Printer is off line"
Any clue why this is happening or what I may have set up wrong
Thanks in advance

I have found that many have had great luck with the tips from
http://tech.ifelix.net/1004.html
OK I have tried;
Printing from a Windows XP PC to a printer attached to an Airport Extreme Base Station or Airport Express
http://tech.ifelix.net/1004.html
When I set up I breeze through it UNTIL I get to
:CREATE NEW PORT" I select the Standard TCP etc then I get the
"Windows won't let you create it as it already exisits"
I get lost when you say
"if you have already created the port in a previous attempt then use the drop down list to select the previous port"
BTW the printer in question is a new HP model OfficeJet J6480
I have no clue what the previous port was ?
Any tips ?

I have an iPhone 4S. When I try to print pictures, from my Windows computer, it doesn't work. Open Office also gives me an "unknown graphic" message. These are JPEGs, aren't they? Why can't I print and what is the unknown graphic?

Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer using wireless router.
I am having trouble setting this up? help? suggestions?

But it's on the PC right ? So it's a shared network printer with a Spooler (this is how it should be configured using Prnter Setup Utility ...)

Once Disc Utility is launched, select your local hard drive then the [Repair Permissions] button bottom left will light up.

Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.

What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

Print remotely from a IPad to a portable / mobile printer.

Hi
You may be able to advise on something for printing from an IPad. Have searched discussion boards and all the comments are about 12 months old so there may be a fresh solution.
Situation is that my son teaches music at many varied locations, and he wants to print remotely from a IPad to a portable / mobile printer where potentially there is no WiFi.
If a wifi network is needed then he can set up 1 from his IPhone 4.
Unfortunately Apple store staff look at disbelief that you want to print from an IPad whilst you are away from your home wifi network. Is that not the beauty of IPad?
Anyhow is there any after market products that can assist in this situation. Or advise on a compact printer that uses AirPrint, the current printers are bulky, with the current mobile printers from HP and Canon not being capable of solving the issue.
Thank you

HP makes a product that enables their mobile printers for use with iPad. There is a video here describing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zVfCpT4X84

Print Dialog box wont appear when "Print Pages" from Bookmarks Window

When I use the "print pages" option from the Bookmarks window the pages are sent directly to the default printer with the default settings. How do I get the print dialog window to appear if I select "print pages" from the Bookmarks window so that I may modify the print settings?

I wasn't aware that you could get the print dialog box to appear after dragging a supported file to the alias, regardless of where it resided. I've never seen this happen on 10.4.x or 10.3.9 so I tested the Option key and found it didn't force the dialog box to appear either. Tried a few others keys also but no luck in getting the box to appear.
Re the fierycupsfilter issue. EFI have released an updater that replaces the system-provided version and therefore stops the need to modify the ppd.

Printing wirelessly from my Windows 7 laptop to my HP Officejet Pro L7650 Allin One?

Doug

Do you have a wireless router or do you want a direct wireless connection between your PC and printer? A wireless router is a much preferred method.

Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530 get message printer offline

Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530, get error message that "printer is offline"
Thanks for the help.

Hey @Geneferg,
Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Because your printer shows connected on the Wireless Test Report, I am going to have you run some standard Mac troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this issue.
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
First, it's important to have a nice clean slate to work with. Therefore, I am going to have you remove and uninstall the software and drivers for your HP Envy.
To start, can I please have you click here and run through the steps on how to Reset the Print System for your computer. Please run through the steps on 'Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X v10.5.x or 10.6.x'. This will remove every printer from your computer. However, this does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, if you use other printers on your Mac computer simply ensure that the printer is connected through the USB Cable or network connected and (+) add the printer back in via the Print & Scan window. Do not add your HP Envy back in at this time.
Next, please click here and follow through with the uninstall steps under the 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' dropdown.
Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
Once the website opens, select the Download button on the top left
Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to reinstall your wireless printer
Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled please test the printing function again to verify if the 'offline' issue has been resolved.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Print information from a row - Report Builder 3.0 - printer button option?

Does Report Builder have any way of printing information from a row selection onto a page, rather than the whole report? I don't think it has a print button option when you create the report?

Hi KittyCat101,
According to your description, you want to select some particular rows when printing the report. Just as you said, there is no such feature in Reporting Services.
To work around this issue, we can create a parameter with the key field value in the report. Then we can print the particular rows based on the selection in the parameter. For more details, please see:
Create a multiple parameter named filter in the report.
Specify Available Values and Default Values from the dataset key field which is acted as filter when printing the report.
Add a filter as below in the tablix:
Expression: [Key field]
Operator: In
Value: [@filter]
When we render the report in report builder, it displays all data. While we can select the particular rows in the drop-down list when we want to print the report.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

How do I print directly from my iPad to wireless Brother air printer ?

We cannot print directly from ipad1. We have a new Brother pie print compatible (supposedly) printer, given as a gift, model MFCJ825DW. It prints nicely from my MacBook Pro through our home wifi network. The iPad, however, will not connect to the printer directly and print. I have to have the MacBook Pro running also in order to print, and then only through an app I bought off iTunes for $9.99. That app is very difficult to use as well (Pro Center...). Is there simply no way to connect an iPad 1 to print directly to this printer ? I have to take my Macbbk Pro to work, and this leaves my wife and the iPad unable to print. That was the main reason for getting the wireless printer! Am I going to have to buy an HP printer, and to they really allow you to print directly from an iPad? I have spent hours trying to solve this and have tried everything I could find, including Google cloud (unable to load Google Chrome on iPad), iPrint and Scan, etc. Can anyone help us out here, or are we just stuck with an Apple product and a printer we cannot effectively use?

Your printer is on the list of supported printers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
So it should work. I have not used a brother, but the drill for other airprint printers is:
Make sure the printer is on the same wifi network.
From the printer console, check for and install any firmware update that is available. Almost all airprint devices need the firmware up date. Do the update from the printer, not your computer.
Reboot the pad. Recycle the router. If it still is not working, goto the brother support sire and see if there is a discussion there that can help you.
