Printing problems from both wireless iMac & wired XP PC

I have a fairly new (<1 yr old) AE, connected via Ethernet to an XP PC and wirelessly to an iMac purchased at the same time as the AE. No problems with Internet access on either, but printing to the HP DeskJet D2460 connected to the AE's USB has been a nightmare. Wirelessly from the iMac, it will print, but only in grayscale/draft - UNLESS I unplug the printer from the AE's USB, send the document to the printer, and then plug the USB back in, then it prints color beautifully. So frustrating! Also I continue getting a SubSpooler System error from the PC, which recognizes the printer as it should but just won't print to it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers 2x. When I purchased the AE Apple assured me it would work for both purposes...help!

Welcome to the discussions forum Busy_Mama.
Your printer uses HP's LIDIL (Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language) for its interface. As a rule, they *do not work* with the Extreme's USB port, and must be plugged directly into a computer.
Try the drivers available from the link referenced in the second post in the following thread: Resources to determine if your HP printer will work with Extreme or Express
This recent post describes a problem similar to yours: HP Deskjet 3845
Good luck!

I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan

Hi Everybody,
I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan. How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

Printing Problems from iMac G4 to HP Photosmart 7760-photos heavy on pink!

Hello,
We have an iMac G4 Flat Panel using OS 10.3.9 and are connected to the HP Photosmart 7760 Printer. The printer is printing heavy on the pink side photographs.
When we print directly from our camera card, the printer prints fine. True colors. When we print using any software application, (ie Photoshop, iPhoto) the printer prints extremely heavy on the pink side. We have installed new cartridges, have cleaned and calibrated the printer, have unplugged and restarted the printer and still to no avail we have pink tinted photographs.
Could someone help please?
Thank You!
iMac G4 Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.3.9)

It seemed to be nothing involving my printer, a recalibration of the computer display did the trick.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Sometimes you do have to restart everything again, including the Router - even after you have installed the Full Feature Software.
If that does not work (restarting the Router), you might try this:
Remove the Printer software from Control Panel > set icon view > Programs and Features > Right-Click on the program > Uninstall
Shut down the computer
Shut down / Switch off the printer
Switch off the Router
Wait around for 2 minutes...
Switch on the router and wiat for it to boot completely - say, 1 minute.
Boot the computer and log in
Switch on the printer
Install the Full Feature Software for the printer following the instructions:

Windows Sharing problem from WLC 5508 to wired LAN

Dear All,
I'm having problem with windows sharing (file/printer sharing) from Wireless lan client which is connected to AP3500 and
WLC 5508 then to Nexus 7010. It's already using ip command, for example \\192.168.84.65
WLC os version 7.0.116.0 (using AP groups)
Nexus os version 4.2(6)
The weird thing is i can connect using windows sharing from wired LAN to wireless user however not vice versa.
for better explanation, here are the scenarios
1. Wireless lan to wired LAN using windows sharing - failed
1. Wired LAN to Wireless lan using windows sharing - success.
I've been analyzing by making sure that all the to end, there would be no firewall within source pc(s) and destination pc(s) and also
the ACL inside Nexus.
Been dying here to find solution for this, due to the customer is using it for file and printer sharing service.
Anyone has idea to solve this problem, i'm looking forward for any suggestion coming.
Arrai.

Peer to peer within wlc is using default setting which is allowed and as you may know, peer to peer permission only related between wireless client not wired one. CMIIW.

Home network printing problem from Windows 8

I have 3 PCs on my home network:
1.    Windows XP desktop (Pro SP3) with HP 6500 E709a USB printer.
2.    Windows 7 desktop (Ultimate SP1 64 bit) with HP 1018 USB printer.
3.    Windows 8 (64 bit) laptop.
Both printers are NOT Ethernet printers.
All computers can see each other and share folders on the home network.
Computers 1 & 2 can freely print on their own printers, as well as on each other's printer.
The problem is with computer 3 (Win8): it can see both printers, but can't print on either (in fact, I can print a test page on the HP 1018 printer from the printer driver on the Win8 machine, but I can't print anything from any application).
I tried to install HP 6500 driver on the Win8 machine, I turned on Network Discovery in the Advanced Sharing Settings on it, but it still doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any "general puprpose" driver for HP 6500 E709a, something to replace the WIN8 driver that fails?

E1200 stops serving DHCP all of a Sudden (affects both wireless and wired)

Greetings All,
I have a 2 year E1200 router that has given me very good service uptil now. Now, it appears to suddenly stop serving DHCP at least once daily. This results in a situation where all my devices (3 over wifi, 2 directly wired) suddenly all cannot talk over the local LAN or reach the Internet (WAN).
This issue started about a week ago when the build I live in had an issue with its network - they won't give a full explanation of what the exact issue was but somehow some media gateways were requesting MAC addresses (ARP?) from every single device in the building constantly. Since then, my E1200 gets into a funk daily, typically at night when it is idle, though I have seen it get into this condition during the day when I am actively connected to a VPN at work.
My network consists of 3-4 wireless devices, 2 wired devices connecting to the E1200 (wpa2-psk) and the E1200 is connected to a Digital-to-Analog GW that converts fiber input to 100Mb Ethernet. I have the latest firmware on it.
I realize this is very scant information to begin a hypothesis so any suggestions on whether this is a know problem and if so, how to rectify it? If it is not known, I'm all ears on how to debug it.
So far, my work around has been to reboot the E1200 and that clears up the issue but clearly that is not a good long term solution.
Thanks,
H

Hi,
If you have time, you can try to perform a hardware reset on your E1200 then reconfigure it back manually. Since you are running on the latest firmware, there's no need to reflash that. You might still have the same issue if there's really a problem from your gateway.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

Printing problem in cs5 and imac 27

I have been running my Epson Stylus Pro 4800 on a macbook pro and cs3, for a couple of years with no problems whatsoever. I have now upgraded to a new iMac 27"and have had nothing but problems with the 4800. I have made my own profils and used Epson paper profiles but the prints are not as colourful as they used and totally wrong as well. I am also getting totally oversized prints compared to what image seize in ps is set to be.....for example, I have been doing a 10x21 test picture on Premium Lustre paper (photoshop is managing the colours through CS5, but it is printing the image at least 1,5 the size that it should be. All my settings are correct, dpi is 300, I'm printing at 1440dpi resolution on the correct profiles for the paper. I am at a loss to understand why this is happening. Is anyone able to assist me?
I can do the printing in preview and that is looking quite ok. But trough photoshop it is bad colors and wrong size on the print.
Regards Ulfja

I saw you're having a printing problem with CS5 while using an Epson printer. I'm having a problem too. Read my situation and see if you think it's similiar to yours. I posted this about an hour ago but have not heard from anyone yet.
I'm having problems getting good prints when using Photoshop CS5 with my Epson Photo R2880 printer, problems I never had with CS4. Here's the situation:
If I take a PSD file and print it using CS4, everything works out perfectly. But if I take that same PSD file and print it out using CS5, the print is now offset top to bottom, as well as left to right, along with a 1/8" black strip being printed down the right edge of the paper. As far as I can tell, everything is set the same.
I've compared all the print information found in the Print dialog summary box between CS4 and CS5 and everything appears to be the same. I've verified that I'm using the latest print driver with my printer, and I am. It's 8.27. I've verified that I've checked off the box to center the print to the paper, each time I've made a print. And in trying to figure out what's going on, I've discovered that this problem occurs with any paper size when using CS5, but not with CS4.
I'm stumped and frustrated and without any more ideas as to what I should do next, except to always print my projects using CS4. If anyone has an idea for me, please let me know!
I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for you. The colors I'm getting in my prints from CS5 seem to be alright, but not the positioning on paper. It keeps offsetting and running a black stripe down one side. Fortunately I have CS4 on my computer that I can use to print from, but it shouldn't be this way.
Good luck!

Printing problems from iPhoto 6

For some odd reason I just can not print anything from iPhoto 6, it goes through the processes of printing, then brings up the Printer utility as if it's ABOUT to print, but then it fails and the Printer utility simply goes to "Jobs Stopped" without any further details as to WHY it stopped.
I can however print from all other apps, and even saving image to PDF, then print the PDF from Preview works...
What's going on?

Hello--did you ever solve this problem? I am encountering it myself and have not figured out how to solve it. Would appreciate any help.

Printing Problem from LR5.3 to Epson 4800

When trying to print to 13 x 19 paper on either of 2 Epson 4800 printeres, the margins and cell size set are ignored and the printers produce a roughly 8 x 10 image in the corner of the 13 x 19 paper. I've tried from 3 different iMacs and 2 different printers (this is a school lab). Paper setting is Super B/A3, though I've also made a custom 13 x 19 paper size and that produces the same error. If I print to 8.5 x 11 paper (with appropriate settings), it works fine. It's only to the 13 x 19 paper that the problem occurs. Everything looks good in the print preview window. Has anyone had this problem or have an idea for a solution?

Fauxto,
I am having the exact same problem with 13 x 19 paper on my R2880, working in lightroom 5, iMac Osx 10.8.5. I did not have this problem before I upgraded to LR5 and Osx 10.8.5. I am still searching for a solution. The problem is erratic. I got lucky and printed a 12 x 16 on 13 x 19 paper yesterday, but after printing some 8 x 10s the 13 x 19 problem returned. I suspect that LR5 and Osx are not playing nicely. This is unacceptable in terms of inability to deliver the finished product to my customer and a very expensive waste of paper and ink.
There must be someone out there having the same problem. I would think Adobe is aware of this issue. Someone PLEASE HELP !!!

Printing problem from my Dell Laptop to my printer

Hi everyone. I'm new at this, but really need some help. I have a Wireless Dell Laptop, and it uses Vista. When I was with Comcast, I was able to print to the Wireless HP Officejet J6480 All in One printer. However, we changed to Qwest recently, and since then I haven't been able to print from my Wireless Dell Laptop to my printer. When I try to print a Word Document, an error message comes up that the printer is off-line. I went in and changed it to on-line, and now there is no error message, but it won't print either. Hope someone can help.....Thanks Galfriday

I would try uninstalling the printer and then reinstalling it.

Printing Problems with Vista (Wireless)

So I just got the Airport setup for the office network and everything is working perfectly. However, I am having problems printing with my laptop (wireless). Laptop is running Vista. I setup Bonjour and the document prints however whenever there is color, the file becomes corrupt and the actual print comes out distorted. This does not happen when I connect directly with a cable to the Airport.
I bought the Airport specifically for this feature and now that it does not work correctly is driving me nuts. Thanks for the help.

An IP address starting with 169 indicates that the computer did not properly communicate with the DHCP server. Therefore the computer assigns itself a random 169.x.y.z IP address.
Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)? If so the best thing to do is disable it. Or you could add the wireless MAC address of the PC to the list of allowed clients.

Printing Problem from ALV

Hi,
When I run my report, its perfectly working fine with all the data, subtotals, grand totals etc.
But when I print the ALV by clicking the PRINT Button on the Standard tool bar, My first subtotals are printing correctly. From second, its printing ZEROES and my grand totals are printing double the number as I see on the output.
This is strange and am not able to understand why I get those errors.
ANy pointers please.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Roger,
I am using Function Module "REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY"
I am displaying a hierarchical ALV with subtotals, page-breaks & grand totals.
The strange thing is that my first SUBtotal gets printed properly. Its the problem from the second subtotal onwards.
Finally, the grand totals also a problem(Doubling when i print first time and triplling,if i print 2nd time ...and so on...)
ANy more clues please.
Thanks,

Printing problem with new Intel iMac and Indesign CS3

Hi there,
this might not be the right place to ask for, but has anybody here experienced printing problems in Indesign CS3 with Tiger?
I just installed the software and tried to print out of Indesign, but nothing. I can see on the panel that data is beeing received but no printing action. And this is just out of the new Indesing CS3.
Any suggestions?
Best
Rolf

Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.

Odd Printing Problem from BO 6.5.1

Hi, I have been asked to support BO 6.5.1 users and some of them create .pdf files which don't print correctly. The heading boxes, table structures and formatting are retained but the text is replaced with random characters. The docs look fine on screen, it is only when they are printed out that the problem occurs. I am sure I have ruled out printing problems, email problems and Adobe 8.0 problems, particularly because this is only happening with pdf's from BO sent to any printer and so I feel it must be a fault with BO. Has anyone seen this before? Grateful for any advice

Hi Greyhat,
as you refer to the legacy technology VB6 I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,
Falk
