You may need to use a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.

Fail to retrieve IP address: Want to print wirelessly to HP C4385 from iMAC

I've gone through so many threads that I'm losing track. Where do I start?
I have my PC downstairs with an HPC4385 printer connected via USB. I have my Intel iMAC upstairs and it is connected wirelessly via my Airport Express (also located downstairs - no issues connecting to the web). I want to print to the C4385 wirelessly from my iMAC (as it has the capability... supposedly), but I can't get past the configuration stage. I can see my network, successfully enter my network password, but then get a "Failed to retrieve IP address" on all counts.
FYI: I don't have setup button to print a report showing my printer's IP address either. I actually don't know if that matters, or not.
Has anyone successfully bypassed this issue to print wirelessly?
Please help.

Wish I could be helpful, but I'll "second," this request for information. I'm trying to do the exact same thing with the exact same printer, and I'm getting the exact same problem.

Printing, Xerox Phaser 3155 on Mac Pro (OSX 10.8.3) and LAN, will not from iMac (OSX 10.6.8) or MacBookAir (OSX 10.7.5) but will print from PC LapTop on Bonjour (Win 7)

HELP Please
When sending print request from iMac or MacBook Air Print Queue Initial displays are printer ready followed by:
* looking for printer
* connecgting to printer
* job printing (printers motor runs) bu no print-out
* job stopped on server
* no pages found comes up somtimes
these messages may be slightly different after "Hold" or "Pause Printer" but print never works.
have already deleted printer from "print & Scan" panel even reset print system and reinstalled printer
-note the printer is seen by the "Print & Scan" panel on using add printer (+ sign)
Before installing Mountain Lion there were no problems printing from iMac or MacBookAir.
Why would it work requesting prints thru LapTop PC on Win 7 but not from Mountain Lion? Apple please!

Answer to self!
Xerox has just released an Update "Phaser_3140-3155_OS_10-8_print_Instaler_v5.0.0" this has resolved all my problems and may be usefull for some other people. Go to Website "http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3140" for download.

When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ?

When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ? Use the same printer with a PC and printed the same picture files- they are printed with high quality- Why can't the IMAC do the same?

Does this involve iPhoto for the Mac?
How exactly are you printing these photos?

Solution for printing Envelopes from iMac Pages FYI

Hello All,
About once a year I have tried to print envelops using Pages. I have been a mac user for 20 plus years, but have also been using windows with Word for just as long.
I try this once a year at TAX time to print my envelops and usually just give up, fire up Parrallels and use Word LOL.
I searched this site and there is no honest to God, Apple Written Solution for this problem with Pages.
You simply cannot print envelops from Pages to an Hp Laserjet printer as the orientation of the envelope will be WRONG at least with SOME printers, although a very common printer.
I am using Pages '09 version 4.3 and an iMac 27 inch running OS X 10.8.3 using an HP Laserjet 3200m connected via the network.
When you create an envelop it looks fine on the screen but when you print it it expects the envelop to be loaded horizontally as opposed to vertically. So you can't print a standard size envelop from Pages.
I found this solution first posted by Ryan K. in 2009 and it is achieved.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1970267?start=0&tstart=0
There is a discussion which follows his post and HIS method does work and is easy....
Just use Preview from the print dialog (it opens your envelop in Preview) the print from Preview and the orientation will be correct.
I read their discussion after his post but there is a lot of circular apple speak but no resolution.
Just use the Preview Program.....
(also I have a wide format Epson Photo Printer, and I have tried to use that for envelops and you can't. It gives an error.)
Just My 2 Cents.

Riddle: Printing from iMAC to printer on networked print server

Here is a Doozy:
I am having trouble printing from my new Intel iMac over a wireless network, through an attached print server.
Here is the layout & issue:
Configuration:
I have a Windows XP PC & iMac in my office.
I have a wireless network connecting the 2.
On this network & have attached the SimpleShare 250GB network HDD, with print server
I have a Canon Pixma 800 attached via USB to the SimpleShare print server.
Issue:
The iMAC cannot print out of the printer.
The iMAC searches, finds & installs the printer (name: MP800, puts it in WORKGROUP, with queue of MP800)
It sends the job & says the job is done (looking good!).
I hear the HDD fire up (a couple clicks). But nothing prints out & the printer does not recognize a job was sent to it. (ARGHH!)
I have:
upgraded to the latest firmware on SimpleShare.
The windows PC prints fine to the printer, through this same configuration.
The iMAC prints fine to the printer when connected directly.
The iMAC reads/writes fine to the HDD itself through the network.
The internet connection works fine through this configuration.
The ONLY issue is getting a print job from the iMAC to the printer.
ANY & ALL help is appreciated, its driving me crazy...

I suspect it may be a driver issue.
It may work with the PrintFab Drivers (but these cost).

Client machine using Windows 7 facing this problems, earlier using windows XP is fine. Thanks a lot.

Hi Gordon,
fyi, I have Turn Off UAC for the client machine (Win 7 32 bit), do the checking from command prompt (srf/scannow), uninstall the printer driver and reinstall the correct printer driver for server (windows server 64 bit), client machine (win7 32 bit), reboot the machine. Do the setting from internet option > Advance>
1. Allow active content fro CDs to run on My Computer*
2. Allow active content to run files on My Computer*
3. Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid.
But all of the above could not resolve the problem happen. It happen only print SAP B1 8.8 crystal report layout. Others PLD layout is able to print. Please Advice.

Epson R2400 print clipping with PowerMac G5 from InDesign

I'm at a total loss here and would appreciate any help.
I'm attempting to print to print a 10x14 inch pages from InDesign on my Epson 2400 on to A3 sized paper.
All goes well until the paper feeds into the machine and and begins printing. The result is a correctly scaled print that's clipped to exactly 213x260 mm, the image is positioned in the top right corner of the A3 sheet.
There has been a lot of discussion on this forum regarding Epson drivers which I have read and followed through, performing my own trouble-shooting. This has included reinstalling the drivers, swapping USB for Firewire and visa-versa, setting up and new user account and even as far as a clean install.
Curiously, this problem not only only specific to InDesign (I can print fine from other apps, including Photoshop) but also specific to the G5. I have two Dual G5 PowerMacs in my studio which exhibit the same problem but there is no issue when I print from our Intel iMac.
I can't tell if it's an Apple or Adobe problem!
Please, if there is anyone out there that can shed some light on this I would love to here from you.
Thanks
Blair

Q: Since I upgraded to Macintosh OS X 10.5 Leopard, some printer driver options are missing. What should I do?
A: Make sure youre not using the Macintosh OS X 10.5 Gutenprint driver. Follow these steps to check if youre using the Gutenprint driver and change it if necessary:
From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
Click Print & Fax.
If necessary, click once on your printers name in the Printer list. (You dont need to do this if only one printer driver is installed).
If you see Gutenprint next to your printer name, go to step 5 to change the driver. (The Epson Stylus Photo RX620 appears in the example below, but youll see your printer or all-in-one name instead).
If you see only your printers name, youre using the correct driver, and you can skip the remaining steps.
Turn off the printer.
Click the button to remove the printer from the Printers list, then click OK.
Go to the Macintosh Leopard Support page and select your printer or all-in-one from the appropriate list.
After you select your printer or all-in-one, the web page will either inform you that the driver for your model is included in Mac OS X 10.5 or give you a description and download option for an Epson driver for your printer.
If the driver for your model is included in Mac OS X 10.5, go to the next step. Otherwise, download and install the Epson driver for Mac 10.5 before continuing with step 8.
From the Apple menu, select System Preferences. If necessary, click Print & Fax.
Turn on the printer. Your computer should add the printer automatically.
If your computer does not add the printer or if it adds the Gutenprint driver again, contact Apple for assistance. You may need to reinstall the Epson drivers provided with Macintosh OS X 10.5.
Note: To check ink levels, click the Utility button, then click EPSON StatusMonitor. The Supply Levels button will not show remaining ink levels for your Epson printer.

Hello Burnhug 54,
Thanks for the post. With this one, I've included a document below that should assist with this one. It was some very good basic t-shooting tips. If after going through these steps, you are still getting blank pages, then be sure to check your driver from control panel and from one of your applications. Ensure that it is indeed the PSC2115. Good Luck!

What brand of printer do you recommend for my imac 27?

What brand of printer do you recommend for my imac 27 from 2009?

I bought a Hewlett-Packard M451dn color laser jet. I'm happy with it.
I selected it after having a horrible experience with a low-cost Xerox color laser jet.
The things I like the best:
Fast warm-up time. No waiting around like solid-ink printers from Xerox have.
No odor. Solid-ink printers have a smell like baked crayons.
Very good print quality - real Postscript.
Duplex printing (both sides of the paper)
I connect to it wirelessly through my Airport; I connect an ethernet cable from the printer to the Airport then my Mac communicates wirelessly.

AirPrint works from iMac but not iPhone

Latest iMac OS
Latest iOS
iMac setup easily and prints fine - wirelessly
iPhone cannot find printer. e.g. Safari, Select Printer - "No AirPrint Printers Found"
AirPort Utilty has no Printer section.
Any ideas?

I have already done all that.
It airprints from iMac and not from iOS. What does that tell us?

Can i send a pdf from imac to iphone or smart phone

can i send a pdf from imac to iphone
other than as a mail attachment?

Hi.
Yes. You can drag the pdf file into the Books display window in iTunes, then sync your iPhone. The pdf will make itself available in the iBooks app on your iPhone.
Look at this... iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
I hope this helps.

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

Check the printer itself. Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac. If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one.
