Printing to a Printer connected via HP JetDirect using original HP drivers

Hi,
I have bought a new router (AVM Fritz wlan 7170) which has a printer port that uses an emulated HP JetDirect Server for printing.
Is it somehow possible to use the original HP Inkjet Drivers v2.7.1 for printing to my Hewlett Packard Deskjet 5652? I can't find them when setting up the printer in the Printer Setup Utility. When i choose "Add Printer-> IP-Printer-> JetDirect Socket" the original drivers do not occur in the drivers list.
I can use Gutenprint or HPIJS drivers, but these are not as good as the original drivers.
Any ideas?
I thought that Airport Express used a JetDirect emulation as well and the original HP drivers do work with that one.

Airport Extreme/Express do emulate Jetdirect/port 9100 printing, but that isn't what they use for printing from OS X. OS X and the Bonjour/airport software use USB port redirection, a unique and separate method.
If the HP driver supports any protocol over ethernet, it would be appletalk. Does that router server use appletalk?

Printer won't stay connected via wired router

I have a Deskjet 1512 all-in-one and I'm having some problems getting it to work. I have Windows 8.1 and I'm connecting the printer through a linksys router via USB. The USB Control Center that I downloaded from linksys shows that the printer is connected, but it keeps connecting, then losing connection and I can't figure out how to keep it connected. So far I haven't even been able to print anything.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi @Blends412,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Deskjet 1512 printer will not stay connected via wired router. I am happy to help!
According to your printer's specifications, and user guide, this printer only supports a direct USB cable connection, from the printer to the computer. You will need a USB 2.0 printer cable. The cable looks like this.
Please see this guide, Setting Up the Printer Hardware for HP Deskjet 1510 and 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and 2..., on how to setup the printer.
Hope this resolves your issue, and thank you for posting!

TS3147 connect OS X 10.9.2 macbook air to windows 7 network and share printer (Brother HL-2230) connected via USB to the same network

Would like to share printer Brother HL-2230 on windows 7 network. Using Windows 7 "Homegroup" is not an option.
The printer (HL-2230) is connected via USB to win 7 computer. Before I updated OS to 10.9.2 it (Macbook air) had HL-2230 as one of its' priinters and was able to print. Now a print request hangs on "Hold for authentication".
I have already reset printer system and re-installed printer x2 - no luck.
I have already connected WiFi Epson XP-200 to the Macbook air - runs fine, no problem.
thx for any help that can lead to the resolution of this problem.

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

Facetime "Fails" to connect via Airport Extreme using Comcast?

Greetings,
First time poster... tried researchings specifics on my situation and couldn't find anything so posting here to see if a solution has been found.
I used to have Verizon DSL for ISP with Airport Extreme as my wireless router. Everything worked including Facetime (only issue was the need for speed). Switched to Comcast as ISP which uses cable and had the Tech reconnect it to the Airport Extreme to behave as the wireless router. Internet is on and good... got a green light on the Airport Extreme. However, when attempting to connect via any device using Facetime (it will ring but as soon as it is answered I get "Fail" message and it ends) be it my laptop, desktop or either of our iphones I have IOS7 and IOS6 respectively same error. Did not make any modifications to Airport settings or any of my devices.
When checking the common response to this issue was a potential "Blocked Port" situation... but by digging a little deeper it appears that Comcast does not block ports that are relevant to Facetime (please confirm). I didn't see anything else that would suggest a solution at this point.
Help would be greatly appreciated as we enjoy using facetime to have our 6 month old daughter connect to our grandparents.
Thanks,
Andrew

The USB port on an AirPort Base Station other than the 802.11n model is only for use with an USB printer; hard and flash drives will not be recognized. The compatible base stations include version 5.0 of the AirPort software on a CD.

Can I share my internet connection via wifi AND use my wireless printer at the same time?

Not completely familiar with wifi capabilities. I have this new setup in my office. I want to share my iMac internet connection via wifi so I can text and check emails using my iPhone (no cell service inside the building). Which works fine. However, I now cannot print wirelessly to my HP printer (LaserJet Pro 400 color). Once Internet sharing is off, I can print just fine. Any other wireless options, or just go get a long USB cable?

Hi,
It is not a multitasking printer, other devices may keep it therefore the best option in this case: connect it to your wireless router and all devices which are conntected to this router can sahre the printer.
Regards.

How do I make my printer more secure while connected via USB to my Airport?

So a neighbor (a friend, fortunately) accidentally installed my printer on her computer via the network (her computer showed it as a 'Bonjour' printer) and started printing stuff, even though my printer is connected to an encrypted Airport Extreme.
My printer (an old HP deskjet 5550) is connected via USB to my Airport Extreme, which has a WPA2 secure password protecting it. Also, the "Share this printer" box was unchecked in the printer utility.
The DSL lines for me and my 20 condo neighbors all convene in the basement somewhere into one or several master routers.
I'm concerned about this breach of security (obviously) and wondering about security of my iMac as well. The iMac is connected to the base station wirelessly and has the firewall set to 'Set access for specific services and apps'.
I figured if the Airport Extreme has the WPA2 password set (and no one else knows the password) that no one would be able to gain access to the printer that is wired to it, or the iMac that's wirelessly connected.
What am I missing? How did this happen? and what can I do to ensure my network isn't visible or vulnerable to my neighbors or others with bad intent?

are there settings in the airport utility that you can adjust to make it unshareable from the router?
The "bonjourness" of the access to your printer suggests that your firewall is probably doing its job.
If your DSL connection is connected to the WAN port on the AE then the folks on the DSL side of your set up should only be able to see things on your LAN that you've set for 'access from the internet'. e.g. allow access to my printer/disk/... from the internet.
For printers there's an airport utility setting 'share printers over ethernet WAN port' and 'advertise printers globally using bonjour'. How's that set?

Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8. I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch. I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers. Hit the "+" button. The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it. The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success). I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn. Why is this method not working with this printer?
I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement. Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable. Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer. Successfully printed a document page. While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog. The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I apologize for the delay in responding to you. I was on the road all day yesterday.
OK. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network. That did not work. I swapped out the cable for one that I know works. Still no change. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router. No change. I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?
After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

Can't see printer or shares when connected via Internet Sharing

I recently switched from a 2006 to a 2008 Mac Pro. Rather than do a migration I simply took the hard drives from the old machine and put them in the new one.
I then upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I use Internet Sharing to share my Mac Pro's Ethernet connection via wifi, but the other Macs can't see the Mac Pro's printer or shares when connected in this way. They can access the internet. If I connect a machine via the LAN rather than Internet Sharing, the shares and printer are visible.
This worked fine on Lion on the old machine. Any ideas?

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

Problems with printer and external HD connected via Time Capsule with Windo

Hello everyone!
In January I bought an iMac 27 "(OS version: OS X 10.6.2) and a week ago a Time Capsule 1TB.
I connected the iMac and a laptop with Windows XP SP3 both via ethernet to the TC, and to the USB port of the TC a USB hub to which I connected a Canon iP4200 and a LACIE 500GB HARD DISK.
I reformatted the hard disk file system to Lacie Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and installed MacDrive 8 in the laptop.
Now (after formatting the HD), with the iMac everything works: internet connection via ethernet or wireless, printing via ethernet or wireless as well as hard disk connection via ethernet or wireless.
Laptop, instead, is only able to connect to the internet via ethernet or wireless while it isn't able to see and use printer and external hard drive, even though I installed AirPort Utility for Windows!
The laptop also detects the AirPort disk of the TC but if I enter the (correct) password I get an error message!..
Please, somebody help me, I do not know what to do!
Thanks

Have you run Bonjour on the Win PC's? Do a search on the support page and there's a description on getting things up and running from a WinPC in a Mac environment.

Better to use a printer's WiFi or connect via TimeCapsule USB Printer.

Just a generic question....Is it better/easier/faster to use a printer's built in WiFi versus connecting it via a USB connection to my Time Capsule.
I'm installing an all in one, Epson 810. MBP, 10.5.8, Time Capsule. Would like to use all the functionality of the Epson (scan, fax, copy, print). Previously was printing on an older Epson using the TimeCapsule via USB connection which worked well.
Just looking to not get into a mess setting stuff up.
Thanks
Fabian

There may be no advantage to using the TimeCapsule and USB. The limitation on the speed will be your connection to the TimeCapsule, and that is at WiFi speed. It depends on what the connection speed on the printer is.
You might be able to connect the printer to the TimeCapsule via Ethernet. That should give you all the functions, and if the WiFi speed of the printer is G, rather than N, the connection will be limited by your N speed connection to the TimeCapsule.

I have a printer (HP LaserJet 2100) connected via ethernet to my wireless router (Netgear) and want to use it from my MacBook Pro.

However, the print & scan window just allows me to click on 'add', but then eveything is greyed out and the printer is not displayed.
I was able to connect the printer without any problems to my Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows (Vista) systems and I'm used to having the least problems with Macs up to now.
I've read about similar problems here and followed the advise, but the problem remains.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

For you to "see" the printer in the Default view after you click the plus button to add, the printer would have to support an advertising protocol like Bonjour. For Linux and Vista, you would have added the printer by selecting a protocol and entering the IP address of the printer. You can do the same thing on the Mac. In Print & Scan, after you click the plus button to add, select the IP icon and then enter the IP address of the printer. Change the Protocol menu to HP Jetdirect-Socket (this is called RAW Port 9100 on the other OS's); leave the Queue name blank; change the Name to LaserJet 2100; leave the Location blank and select the supporting model name in the Use menu. Click to Add and then see if you can print.

Time capsule USB printer works when I connect via ethernet but not over wifi

I have a USB printer hooked up to my new Time Capsule. If I turn off my wifi and connect to the Time Capsule with an ethernet cable it works fine. When I try to do the same thing over wifi (even when I'm sitting next to it) it cant seem to make a solid connection. Most of the time it just says Printer Paused, but sometimes it will work, other times the printer just clicks, or starts but then stops. Other than that my wifi connection seeems pretty good.
Is there something with the settings with my older "08 MacBook and the newer Time Capsule?
Any help is very much appreciated,
Thanks

Very interesting one..
Did you upgrade install ML into the MB??
It sounds to me like it has corrupted the wireless drivers.. and I think you will need to do a clean install.
If you have internet working over wireless I see no reason for this to happen though.

Can't connect via aiport after using AOL connect w/modem

When we went to visit family over the holidays, we had to connect to the internet via AOL connect. But now that we're back home, I can't get my husband's iBook G4 to connect to our wireless network. When I look at the network status, it says that AirPort is connected, but has a self-assigned IP address & may not be able to connect.
I have restarted my Airport Extreme base and cable modem several times. I am not having this problem on my MacBook Pro (which used an external modem, btw). I have tried deleting my internet preferences, but that hasn't helped.
I can't find a way to delete the IP address. Is that in the iBook's settings, or the Airport base settings?

Try this on the iBook ...
o System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
o Note the order of the ports that are listed.
o If it is not already, verify that AirPort is checked and that it is at the top of the list.
