Printing to HP OfficeJet 5610 connected to networked Windows Computer

I have an HP OfficeJet 5610 connected one of my windows (XP Pro SP2) computers that is on my network. I can see the printer under the Windows Printers tab, but there is not an applicable driver. I have installed the HP Printer software found on this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-55822-2 &lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=441125&os=219&lang=en, but this didn't help. How can I get this to work.

Windows Printing and IP printing on OS X are provided by the CUPS system. You need a CUPS-capable driver to use these built-in network protocols. HP's drivers for non-postscript printers aren't CUPS drivers. You need to install the third-party hpijs driver (3-part set):
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
You also need to get the PPD because your model was left out of the current hpijs:
http://openprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-OfficeJet5610
Unfortunately there isn't a PPD there, either. I don't know how to obtain one. If we're patient, maybe Matt Broughton will come by and help us get the PPD.
You should experiment with the HP officejet 5500 foomatic model choice to see if it works.

  • Is it possible to connect to a Windows computer with Apple Remote Desktop?

    Hey!
    I just bought Apple's Remote Desktop program and I love it!
    The only problem I have is that I can't just conncect to a Windows computer.
    I need to do this!!
    I saw in a screenshot in the Mac App Store that the Apple Employey had connected to a Windows computer so I thought it would work just fine.
    Thanks!

    Should be, though I have no personal experience using it. VNC seems to be touchy with ARD, so if Vine doesn't work, you might want to try another version. Or just use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or a service such as LogMeIn; those would give you the same capabilities and probably be less fuss and bother.
    Regards.

  • Printing to a printer connected to a Windows computer on a wireless network

    In my home I have a DSL internet connection, a Linksys router, one wired Windows computer to the router, and one wireless Mac and one wireless PC. In this configuration, the printer is connected to the wired Windows PC. How can I print directly from my iMac to the printer connected there?
    -- Before purchasing the iMac I had a Windows based Laptop that was able to print this way (I would have the wired computer and printer turned on, and then press print on the laptop, and it would come out of that printer). How can I duplicate this for the iMac? Thanks!

    No, the problem wasn't ever solved. So I compromised and finally hooked up the free printer that came with my Mac. Although I wasn't able to share a printer, I was able to access files and print them kind of the hard way by enabling windows sharing under Sys Prefs > Sharing > Windows Sharing. And then you need to click on accounts and enter your password. Then use the key that the Mac gives you (Should be something like \\192.168.1.1##\shortname) and then on your PC, go to "My Network Places" and click on "Set up a network place." When prompted choose to enter the location yourself and enter the number address given on the Mac. After that a box should pop up asking you for your name and password (which is that of the Mac) and then you should be able to access all of the files that are on your Mac from your PC and print directly that way. Hope that helped someone. And if anyone can still help me print wirelessly, please do!

  • Officejet 6700 connected to network according to network configuration page and network test results

    Office Jet 6700 connected to network according to wireless network test results but I get an unable to connect error when trying to set up web tools or connect to get updates. I have an Actiontec Router with century link DSL. I have tried both manual IP configuration and DHCP configuration. I can print wirelessly from my iphone and can access the web service page on the printer but the printer will not connect outside the network. I do not have a proxy.

    Never mind. I found the answer... I set the dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ( google's dns servers ). Sort of strange that I set the dns servers manually to the ones recommended on my router and it didn't work but when I set them to google's it works...? Spent many hours researching this til I found the answer. Silly printer and silly instrucutions tha never mentioned overriding the dns servers if you couldn't connect.

  • Questions on Drivers & printing to networked Windows computer (CANON)

    I'm trying to print over a network, to a CANON printer connected to a Windows PC.
    My initial attempts resulted in the document being printed 75% smaller on the upper left corner of the page only. (Margins etc. are all fine).
    Sounded to me like a driver problem, so I downloaded the latest driver for OS X(from CANON). I installed the driver, but now, when I try to setup a new printer, I still can't see my printer model (ip5000) in the available list. (The options are either Generic or one of the gimp drivers that came with OS X).
    Where did it put the driver? - How can I make the printer use it?
    And, how do you un-install a driver? (in case it doesn't work)
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    The drivers for the Canon PIXMA range of printers are not designed to work across a network, they are for direct USB connections. As has been mentioned numerous times in this forum, if you want to print to a Canon BJ printer that is networked, ex. shared by a Windows PC, you need to use the CUPS (GIMP) drivers that are included with the OS. The only exception to this is for the R series of the PIXMA printers, which have an Ethernet and wireless connection. There is a Canon network utility that redirects the spooled file to the remote printer.
    Try using the S800 GIMP driver. You will have to open the driver properties and set it to Text to get good quality printing.
    Better still, download the latest release of Gutenprint 5.0.0 and use the iP4000 driver. It works nicely to my iP5200R hanging off an XP SP2 box.

    Paul

  • Iphone4s wont connect to my windows computer over usb cable

    i have an iphone 4s with the latest ios 7.1.2 and have tried to connect it to my computer (which uses windows 7) using the usb port. However, when i plug in the phone the computer doesn't seem to recognise it. The phone buzzes as it still charges, i have checked and made sure i have apple mobile device support installed and have restarted it to see if it would make any difference. The device doesn't show up in the device manger under imaging devices or universal serial bus controller, i have uninstalled and re installed itunes and have the most up to date version. I just want to be able to transfer my photos onto my computer. Can anyone suggest anything?

    It sounds like you have checked most of the things in the following but there are some you didn't mention which may help: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • Cannot print wirelessly USB h/p Officejet 5610 connected to Airport Express

    my iBook G4 is upgraded to Tiger v10.4.11. Can do successful printing tethered to USB printer. Want to print wirelessly. AirPort is active, indicator light is solid green. USB printer is plugged into AirPort Express. I clicked file, then print, then selected Bonjour printers-my printer. The iBk tried to add printer but I got the following message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer".
    Can anyone out there help me? Many thanks. gold75

    Were you able to previously use that same printer via AirPort Express,
    & print wirelessly, with the USB wire plugged into the AirPort base unit?
    Since I have the exact all-in-one HP printer/scanner/copier/fax model
    by number, and have the downloaded HP drivers (a large file) to be
    up-to-date, the HP device has never worked via USB plugged into AE.
    Mine is the older AirPort Express 802.11b/g. All of my Macs see and
    use the Epson printer attached to my AirPort Express; and like the OP
    my HP won't do anything at all and is never seen connected via USB
    to the base station. So I figured it was not supported. After looking for
    about a year, I found little evidence it was capable of working via wi-fi
    through the USB cabling to the base station; unlike some others.
    I do have an Epson 820 Photo Stylus that always works well with the
    same base station via USB cable; except for the ink status utility and
    cleaning head utility, these only work when attached by USB cable.
    The Epson also worked well with the last model orb-shaped AirPort
    Extreme base station to print via the USB port; that is a superior base
    unit with more capabilities, it's the printer & drivers with limitations.
    If you do get the HP 5610xi or similar all-in-one to work, note back
    here what drivers and/or configuration you used to accomplish that.
    An older list, unofficial, of compatible printers that had been used under
    some circumstances (airport firmware updates can change this) were
    noted in this web page: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html
    A second page there suggests trying gimp or other drivers; the issue
    in part may also be the airport firmware update in use. Printers not on
    the compatibility list: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html

  • Printing Wirelessly to a printer connected to a Windows computer.

    Hi,
    First off, I know that this question has been asked a million times before, but I've read all of the other threads and haven't been able to find a solution that has worked for me yet. I've gotten it to work for my Windows laptop, but not for my MacBook.
    Anyway,
    I am trying to connect my MacBook to a HP Deskjet F380. I have installed the driver software for the printer, however I still cannot seem to locate it over my wireless network. I would read the manual but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
    If it helps, my wireless router is a Linksys wireless-G broadband router with a 4-port switch.

    First - The driver from HP won't work. It is a USB-only driver. Either Gutenprint or hpijs will work:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpijs
    Try to follow this - sorry it's for 10.4 but concept is still the same.

  • Connecting to a Windows computer using Remote desktop connection

    I have connected a Windows 7 computer to my network using an ethernet cable to my Time Machine which is configured as an extension to my Airport network. My Mac sees the computer as shared, and I can connect to it using the name and password so I can browse files on it etc.
    Nevertheless Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection will not connect to it, saying there is a network error. It has been suggested that if I use its IP address rather than its name it may work, but how do I remotely find out what its IP address is on the Airport network? I have not found the way using Airport utility or help.
    thanks in advance...

    You are using the Mac version of RDC aren't you?
    If so, please post questions regarding it on Microsoft's own forums for the Mac version of RDC, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products

  • With conversion to Leopard, file problems with networked Windows computer

    Last night I did an Archive & Install from Tiger to Leopard on my Intel MacBook Pro. Today, I had trouble finding the other computers at my office. Once I finally got them to show up, I opened a Word file found on another computer, made some changes, and when I tried to save it, I got this message: "This is not a valid file name. Try one or more of the following: *Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly. *Select a file from the list of files and folders." Since this file already existed and I wasn't changing the name, I thought this was odd, but I changed the name from "Seating Chart 3-8-08" to "SeatingChart3-8-08" in case Leopard didn't like spaces when talking to Windows, but I got the same error message. Finally I gave up, not knowing what to do, then discovered that it had in fact saved my file. Still, every time I try to save ANY Word document from the shared folder of the Windows computer, I get the same error message endlessly until I choose "Don't Save."
    When I try to open an Excel file from that computer, it won't even open; it says " 'File Name.xls' cannot be accessed. This file may be Read-Only, or you may be trying to access a Read-Only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding." As with the Word file problem above, I did not have any problem accessing the files until I converted to Leopard.
    The Windows machine is Windows XP using Microsoft Office 2003; I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my machine.

  • HP LASERJET 4000 PARALLEL PRINTER - CONNECT TO NETWORK

    I have a HP LaserJet 4000 printer with parallel interface currently connected to a desktop computer (WIN 7) via hardwire connection.  I have a wireless home network with another desktop and several laptops that I would like to be able to print to this printer, preferably via a wireless interface.  Does anyone know if this is possible and if so what it would take in additional hardware.  Even though this printer is no longer sold, in terms of usage it is still new, on the first toner cartridge!
    thanks

    Can you elaborate as I'm not that tech savvy but have a similar issue.  I have an HP Laserjet 2100M that I love as a "workhorse" printer.  I previously had this printer and an Epson Stylus Photo R800 "networked" so I could print to either from my MAC.  I recently moved from CT to FL and would like to replicate the network.  In retrospect, I think my network was facilitated by the HP printer being connected directly to an old PC which must have been like the printer server you described.  The old PC did not move to FL so I now have a MAC, a cable modem, an Airport router and a new PC laptop that I would like to connect.  Plus, I'm looking to buy an all-in-one to have the functionality that I had before the move (a separate fax machine and an HP printer-scanner-copier that also didn't make the move.  (As an aside, I was looking at the HP 8600 to buy and was concerned as it doesn't say it supports Windows 8 so I have to find something else.)  
    Sorry for beng so longwinded but I'm at a loss for which direction to go and recognize I'm in over my head but beleive what I want to do can be done (I just don't kow how)

    You will need to turn on Sharing on both computers and specifically printer sharing. I would recommend you contact AppleCare (phone number is in your owners manual) and may be able to help you. Remember they are Apple Techs so there is a good chance they're not trained on MS Windows. I'd recommend Googling something like Printer sharing Windows XP.
