Printing to an HP OfficeJet T45 all-in-one

I have an older HP all-in-one model (T45) that is hanging off a PC as a shared printer. I have successfully added it on my Mac (10.4.10). I picked the 'best' print driver -- HP OfficeJet 9100 Series PS v3010.107.
I test printed a Pages document but the first page was jibberish followed by multiple blank pages.
Is there a workaround solution so that I can continue to print to this printer? It's a secondary printer in the house but my only color printer.

You have come accross the infamous CUPS driver problem. The network printing protocols in OS X including Windows Printing are provided by CUPS (common unix printing system). Hardly any non-postscript printer drivers (Brother is the exception) work "with" the CUPS system - they are Carbon drivers that bypass CUPS. You need a CUPS driver. I'm pretty sure your model is supported by hpijs, but you should check to be sure:

How to omit color cartridge and yet be able to print on an HP Officejet 6110 all-in-one

I rarely print in color, but after a while, the color cartridge has to be replaced because, I suppose, the ink dries up. Without the color cartridge in place, the machine says I have to insert a cartridge and will not allow me to print with only the black cartridge in place. Does anyone know how I can bypass the color cartridge requirement?

Hi,
HP do not provide any USB connection solution for iOS.
As Active Print is a 3rd party application which provide this functionality, i believe you may find a better help within Active Print support as they more familier with their application requirement and functionality:

How do I print from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 to my HP Officejet J468 All-in-One printer?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy 4 Tablet and I'm trying to figure out how to print to my HP OfficeJet J4680 All-in-One. Is there an app that I need to download?

Hi,
Unfortunately your printer spec indicates that the printer is not wireless compatabile so you won't be able to use any mobile apps with this printer.

Need generic print driver for Officejet 7210 all-in-one on Windows 8.1

Updated my Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, which removed my print driver for an Officejet 7210 all-in-one. Attempted to reinstall. Error that file not found. Followed detailed process to a tee (deleted temp files, removed startup programs, everything). Driver doesn't work but printer does with other computers. Printer is no longer supported and no help (but is in great working condition).
I'm looking for a generic driver that would work with my printer and Windows 8.1. I really appreciate any help...

Hi LChristofaro,
I have researched your error message and the Msiexec.exe error and it is an issue with windows installer. I recommend restarting your windows installer.
To do this:
1. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
2. Double-click "Windows Installer" in the Services list.
3. Click Stop and click OK.
4. Click Start and click OK.
Restart you computer and try the install again.
Let me know if this helped.
Thank you,

Cannot scan, fax, or copy from HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One E709a

I can print from my HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One E709a, but I cannot scan, copy, or fax. All drivers and updates are current; no recent updates were made prior to the problems occurring. I use Windows 7 64-bit. When the printer is turned on, it always shows Original Loaded, but no documents are in the feeder or on the glass (I have already cleaned the glass and have ensured that the cover sits tightly). I am having problems scanning, copying, and faxing. The automatic document feeder is functioning. I have tried to reset the printer several times.
When I try to Scan a document in the document feeder (it does feed through) or from the glass, I get variable responses – rarely, it appropriately asks how I want to save/handle the doc (e.g., save as pdf), but the document does not actually scan and I am directed to Reload the document OR it displays No Scan Options. The document does not show in My Scans.
When I try to Copy, it shows the document as copying, but there is a long delay before the progress bar occurs. When I copy using the document feeder, I actually get a copy (rarely and always faded-looking) or the copy prints out blank—both results are always followed by an error message to Reload the document. When copying from the glass, the copy prints out blank with an error message to Reload the document
The same problems occur when trying to Fax. Whether trying to scan, copy, or fax, the printer is making a lot of sounds of gears whirring.
Again, I can print a document from my PC without any problems – the problem is limited to scanning, faxing, and copying.
I have tried the HP Print & Scan Doctor. It always stops at the HP Twain Scan step, saying the Scan process was cancelled by the user (not true). When I click on Continue, it proceeds down to the Test Scan step, but nothing happens when I click on the Test Scan button. It will only allow me to Skip at that point. All of the other steps show green checks.
This question was solved.

My first question is really going to get to the core of the issue, I heard you say that the printer makes sounds, but if you lift the lid does the bar A) travel across the screen and B) light up?
Additionally, perform both of these resets and let me know how they go!

How can I use Active Print on my Ipad and print to my usb connected HP officejet 6110 all in one

My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

The Photosmart 5510 is AirPrint capable. You can find that information linked below. There may be something in the network that is preventing communication. To use AirPrint your router needs to support Bonjour services. Run the download below. It will let you test Bonjour services from your Windows PC. If this app can't see the printer either, then the router's Bonjour services are off, or it does not support Bonjour. Let me know what the app finds. If it can't find the printer, let me know what brand and model router you have, and I'll see if it has Bonjour services at all.

HP OfficeJet 5505 All-In-One wireless printing.

I've got a problem getting a HP OfficeJet 5505 All-In-One printer working with a Time Capsule for wireless printing.. I'm not quite sure how to debug this, so I'm asking for a little help.
If I connect the printer directly to the Mac, It is properly recognized when I go to add it into the printers list, and documents print normally.
Now when connected to the TimeCapsule, It looks to be recognized in the Airport Utility, and when I go to add it into the printers list, I can see it connected to the Time Capsule.. One difference is that I have to manually choose the printer driver rather than it being auto selected..
When I print a document, it looks like it spools up normally, and gets sent to the printer.. However the printer never starts, or prints.
After reading a few posts it looks like there might be some compatibility issue between office jet printers and the Time Capsule/Airport Extreme as I am not the only one with issues.
Any ideas?

The OfficeJet 5505 uses LIDIL (lightweight imaging device interface language) which depends on the host computer for low level commands. It will not work with the Time Capsule's USB port.
Technically, neither the printer nor the TC is at fault. The printer will only work when connected directly to a computer's USB port. Searching for drivers will be a futile exercise.
Sorry for the bad news. If you want to get a printer on your network, get a network printer.

HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer - G510g installation windows 8.1 64bit

After operating a HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer - G510g from both an old Windows XP notebook and from an ASUS Windows 8, 64bit laptop, subsequently updated to 8.1; I'm now trying to install it to run from a Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A notebook Windows 8.1 64bit, but without success.
The original installation CD does not provide an installation but on start up (presumably because it is only compatible with Windows XP and 7.
The www.hp.com site offers a download of a full driver for the printer, forWindows 8.162bit. This seems to download fine. The file unpacks, says it is installing, but on completion the driver is not available.
There are no options to uninstall, either in control panel/printers or in control panel/software.
Without the driver, the Windows 8.1 system recognises the printer and allows simple printing ffrom applications. However, it is not possible to use the scan options, giving the error message that the driver is not available. Neither HP Solution Center or HP Document Manager are installed.
I have tried HP Print and Scan Doctor. This recognises the printer on USB link, says that there are missing drivers, downloads, unpacks and installs drivers. But the printer icon in control panel/printers continues to have an alarm icon and indicates that the printer is still missing drivers.
I have also tried the HP Printer Installation Wizard. The result is similar.
Please advise how I can install the scan options of this equipment and confirm that the machine is compatible with windows 8.1 64bit.
Thank you

Hello @monc , welcome to the HP forums!
I read through your post about how you cannot scan on your Windows 8.1 computer as the driver and software doesn't seem to be completing successfully on your system. However, you have been able to install the printer and its functioning fine on other computers.
I would suggest checking the Control Panel to see if there are any printer files to uninstall: Uninstalling the Printer Software
Restart the PC afterwards
Perform a Clean Boot
Restart the PC again
Download and install the printer again: HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver
If you see any error messages or codes during the installation process, make note of the exact problem or error and post me back a screen shot or the details.
Good luck

HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One no longer 'automatically' print double sided

After upgrading my PC from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit my HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One printer no longer prints double-sided automatically. When sending something to print I am presented with only two options: Print One-Sided or Manually Print on Both Sides. If I choose the latter I have to manually reload the paper when prompted. I have tried searching for updates and downloading drivers but nothing has resolved the problem. I've even gone into printer properties printing shortcuts and changed the settings in "Print on Both Sides" to 'automatically' and still I am prompted to reload the paper. It is a real pain when I have to print a very large slide pack especially when the printer decides to pick up two sheets at the same time. I have spoken to HP and they say my printer is old and they cannot help me. It is about 8-10 years old. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hello Toosweet
In Printer Preferences make sure the duplexer is enabled. Do you have the full feature software installed?

Thanks for responding. What I did today was hard wire the printer to computer. then was able to get my original printer icon back and it was set as the default printer. I deleted the other icons, they were ghosted and I didn't what to use them. the one was a online printer going back to HP. Now I have to got my son to fix the remaining problem I have, with my messing around I somehow change the Network Name on the printer. He is a computer eng working on high tech cameras and also is the administrator of my machine. He has me locked out of administrative rights and for good reason, I wrecked a couple computers and when he built this one for me that was the rule. There is a little info that I don't have to finalize the last step in changing the Network Name back. I have run the printer from the printer control panel and it did find the correct Network and Network Name but is seemed like that is far as I could go. So I'm not that far from completing this project.

Hi,
Here are a couple of things to try. I would first start with downloading and running the Print Diagnostic Utility. IF this doesn't clear it up, then try the document on Problems printing from the internet.

HP Officejet 4630 all-in-one printer Cancels Print in Middle of Job

Hi,
I recently bought an HP Officejet 4630 all-in-one printer, and it automatically cancels jobs in the middle of printing. The computer I am using is an HP Envy dv7 with 64-bit Windows 8, and I am printing over a wireless network connection. My computer receives an error that HP Officejet 4630 series couldn't complete print and the printer simply says canceling. I have tried all the steps in the troubleshooting sections, both for printing issues and network connections. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times, I've established a manual IP, and everything else, but nothing seems to work. It also seems to have the issue when using HP ePrint. It happens in all sorts of programs and formats such as word, pdf, and html. Unfortunately, I did not receive a USB cord, so I can't see if that will fix the problem at all. Hopefully somebody can help me with this, otherwise it's obvious that there's a problem with the actual printer I got and I'm going to have to get something else.
Thanks

This is how I fixed it:
Find out what the IP address is that your printer is using.
Then go to control panel and click on "View Devices and Printers".
Look for your printer an right click.
Click "Printer Properties" and a new screen will open.
Along the top you will see some tabs. Click the one that says "Ports"
Click "Add Port"
Highlight "Standard TCP/IP Port" by clicking on it, then click "New Port". A new screen will open.
Click "Next"
Type in the IP Address of your printer and click "Next"
Your computer should find your printer.
Click "Apply" and your printer should work correctly.

I have an HP OfficeJet 7210 all in one printer, have loaded Printer Pro and had a successful test while in Printer Pro. When I try to print and email I get NO AIR PRINTER message, How can I connect my printer to my IPad and print emails.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you're using the Printer Pro app, you're not going to use AirPrint services.
They are not the same thing.
Are you using the 'Open In' option to get the email into Printer Pro for printing?
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/printer-pro/id393313223?mt=8
Once installed, Printer Pro appears in the "Open In..." list on your device. This lets you print documents from Mail, Safari, ReaddleDocs and many other applications on your iPad that supports this function.
Using "Open In..." approach you can print files from many popular online storages: Dropbox, MobileMe iDisk, GoogleDocs. It just a matter of several taps to download your file via free Dropbox, iDisk or Google Docs application and send it to printer.
