Printing Wirelessly with HP PSC 1410 (or many other HP and other printers)

I had a lot of difficulty and found this in an old forum - other people were complaining that it doesn't work but it worked perfectly well for me, after many months of frustration! Just thought I'd repost it. I downloaded and installed the three programs, restarted the computer, then was able to add and print from my HP PSC 1410v.
Hi! I had the same exact problem that you currently have: PSC 1410v + airport express out of the box = no bueno. I am not tech savvy at all, but I was able to get my airport and my printer to agree. After two days of scouring the internet I found this amazing page that literally saved my and my airport express's life.

So what I did was take their advice on downloading the HPJIS package:

First you need to download their Foomatic and Ghostscript packages. And then you can download HPJIS Package. After downloading these you should be able to print wirelessly. I hope this works!

How do I set up my PowerBook to print wireless with HP psc 2410

Can someone tell me how to set up my PowerBook to
print wireless with my HP psc 2410 all-in-one?
What do I need to do?
I checked ifelx list and check out ok for my model.
Thanks,
Kes
PowerBook G4 15 1.67GHz 10.4.2 512MB AirPort Extreme; iMac G4 20 1.25GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Ensure that the Airport base station is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
On the iMac
System Preferences > Sharing > Printer Sharing
On the PowerBook
Applications > Utilities > Printer Setup Utility
Add Printer
It may work with the HP driver (which you will need to install on the PowerBook)
It may work with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.

Why can't I print wireless with Time Capsule anymore?

I have an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 that I have been printing wireless with for many years by plugging it in to the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule. Not anymore.
I have a MacBook Pro running the latest OS as well as the latest model Time Capsule running the latest software from Apple. I have tried using Airport Utility 5.6 which sees the printer plugged in. But when I try to add the printer to the Print & Scan system preferences, it shows up but says:
Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
When I click "Download and Install" it searches for the software but then tells me:
The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software.
When I plug the printer directly into my MBP, I can add the printer and print without any problems. Per Epson, I have the latest software for my printer, so I'm not sure why Apple needs to search for the software and download it in order for me to print using the Time Capsule.
Like I said before, this all use to work flawlessly. I'm assuming all the updates have "broken" something.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Well, I solved my problem.
I deleted the EPSON folder in Library/Printers as well as Library/Cache and installed the EPSON driver via Softwar Update.
Everything is working fine now.

Can I set up multiple usb hard drives- one for time machine and a second for media? Can one also print wirelessly with an old HP C6280 printer?

Yes.
Can one also print wirelessly with an old HP C6280 printer?
Possibly by using an Airport Express, but depends on what type of port connection the printer requires.

My HP dv4-2045dx won't print wirelessly with my HP Officejet 6500 E709n

My HP Pavillion laptop won't print wirelessly with my HP All In One printer. It will print if it is hooked up, and the printer works wirelessly with my other computer. I've uninstalled the printer and updated the drivers. The print wizard goes through all of the steps to configure wirelessly, finds my printer, tries to connect, and fails at the last minute each time. I believe it may have something to do with the fact that I also can't scan to my laptop.
P.S. It used to print wirelessly. I have no idea what changed.

HT1338 problems with Mac Book 10.7.5 printing wirelessly with HP Photosmart 6510e. I must turn off then turn back on for Mac to print.

HP Photosmart prints with PC, Droid phone but will only print wirelessly with MacBook OX 10.7.5 if I turn off printer and turn it back on. HP has tried, Belkin (router) has opened all ports, the problem persists.

That is great, but I recommend channel 11 instead of 10.

Have a MacBook Pro with 10.8.1 and want to print wirelessly with HP 3054 610a, currently connected via USB. Router is Apple Extreme without WPS button. How do I enter the said and passphrase to the printer. Can't use the cd install-no Mtn.Lion support

Have MacBook Pro, Airport Extreme router, Mtn Lion 10.8.1 and want to print wirelessly with HP 3054 610a which was installed 2 days ago via USB. Prefer to set up the printer on the wifi network, but how do I enter ssid and passphrase. On the printer control panel only has WPS option.

You didn't look far enough .... http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/wireless/printer-setup-help.html
The next thing is to look in the manual that accompanied the printer for how to use the wireless setup wizard!
This is specific to your printer ..... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02217452&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en &product=5109847#N728

How do I get my computer to print wireless with HP6600

I have tried to get my computer to print wireless with the HP6600. I have tried all the trouble shooting things and still does not work. The printer is contected to the wireless network. I can print from my phone and Ipad fine without a problem.

@ minipinny26 - When you downloaded the drivers and attempted to install the software I am guessing the software could not find the printer. Is this correct?
If so, then did you try a power cycle on the circuit?
* Unplug router and wait 30 seconds
* Plug router back in and wait for it to completely repower up
* Restart the PC
* While the PC is restarting: Unplug the printer while the unit is on
* Wait 30 seconds and plug the printer back up for power
Can the software find the printer at this point?
If not, then can you ping the printer?
* Open the Command Prompt screen by typing CMD in the Run command box
* Type ping followed by the ip address of the printer.
Also, take a look at the steps in the document found here. Let me know what happens.

Printing wirelessly with Windows Vista

Alright I just got our Vista laptop successfully connected to the TC wireless network.
Now I'm trying to print wirelessly with the Vista laptop, but when I go into "add printer" in the Vista control panel, it's unable to detect the printer. The printer is on.
My Macbook Pro is currently able to print wirelessly.
Anybody know what I can try?

I was able to add the printer on my Vista laptop with Bonjour on the disk that came with Time Capsule. Previously the laptop couldn't see the printer, but now it can wirelessly print.
This manual was helpful (p. 61).

I cannon get my HP OfficeJet 6700 to print wireless with my Macbook Pro? Any suggestions?

Just found a solution to this problem via HP technical support by changing my Officejet 6700's dynamic IP address to a static IP address:

After making these changes and rebooting my printer immediately started working again.

Airport Express with HP PSC 1410 printer

I have an airport/airtunes express and have an HP PSC 1410 all in one printer. I can't get it to work as my "network printer" I was surfing the Apple website looking at FAQs and it directed me to the HP site. There are a list of known printers that were compatible with airport express. Mine didn't show up....BUT, the information was very vague. Does anyone know if this will work, or is the "all in one" messing things up? I assume you can't scan and receive data via 802.11b from the Airport Ex.
Thoughts?

When connected via an Airport Express or Base Station, basically all you can do with a printer is "print". It is *not possible* for any make/model of printer to do any of the following:
1. scan or fax on with a multifunction printer
2. check ink levels, or any other printer status
3. clean print heads
4. use any printer utility software provided by the printer manufacturer
Paper choices are usually a function of the printer driver, and are therefore always available. Some photo printers won't allow options like borderless printing to work - but issues like this seem only to be known through discussion forums like this since they are rarely publically documented by the printer manufacturers.

Chooser problem with HP PSC 1410 and HP Deskjet 5940 on Classic

Excuse me for my bad english, I am french... !!!
I have just bought macmini with HP DeskJet 5940 promotion. I installed internet last driver for it. Printing is OK with Mac OS 10.4.4 but doesn't work with Classic. Printer is connected by USB port. I tried with another HP printer : HP PSC 1410. It doesn't work too under Classic.
When I try to print under Classic from SimpleText, I obtain the message : "SimpleText ne peut imprimer un autre document pour le moment. Utilisez le sélecteur pour choisir une imprimante". I translate in english : "SimpleText can't print another document for this time. Use chooser to select a printer."
I open chooser and click on LaserWriter8 as indicated in documentation. I obtain a new message : "LaserWriter8 requiert AppleTalk. Assurez-vous que vous êtes bien connecté au réseau AppleTalk." I translate in english : "LaserWriter8 asks AppleTalk. Be sure that you are connected to AppleTalk net.". I click on OK and two new message appears : "Impossible d'ouvrir AppleTalk". I translate in englisk : "Can't open AppleTalk" and "Pour activer AppleTalk, ouvrez les préférences Réseau et cliquez sur AppleTalk". I translate : "To activate AppleTalk, open net preferences and click on AppleTalk". Evidently, that is already made !
But it is absolutely necessary that I can use deskjet printers under Classic with my macmini which runs on Mac OS 10.4.4 !
I turn around the problem and I don't find solution. Have you some ideas ?
Thank you for your help !

Pardon: je parlais Francais comme une vache espagnol et unless HP specifically says so, there is no guarantee that any modern printer will work in Classic - partly because printer manufacturers don't bother with aging software, and partly because some printer manufacturers seem not to understand that Classic over OS X deals with printers very differently from the way pure, bottable OS 9 does.
If you have a freshly installed OS X with a freshly installed Classic 9 and the right versions of HP's drivers and utilities, it should work - but if any of those is not freshly installed, there might be third-party components interfering.
If all-fresh software doesn't work, launch Apple's own Desktop Printer Utility and tell it to create a virtual Desktop Printer with Translator Postscript.
Even though it doesn't actually appear on the Desktop, that will become the default printer for Classic, accessible thorugh Chooer's LaserWriter driver.
Try again to print from SimpleText but set the dialog to Print to File, which should create a .ps file that can be dragged onto any X print queue, where it should just print! (To find an X print queue, Print from any X application and tell the Dock to Keep the icon)
That method is not guaranteed, but it does work for most people with most printers.

HP 7210 cannot print wirelessly with Snow Leopard

After updating to Snow Leopard on my sons Mac Laptop his HP 7210 will no longer print wirelessly via airport extreme.
I am able to print with the printer directly hooked up to my computer with USB.
I reinstalled the printer driver, same results.
Then I d/l the drivers from Apple and still the same results.
Airport shows the printer as being hooked up.
Whenever I try to print wirelessly airport says it cannot find the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

How do you have the Officejet 7210 hooked up wirelessly? Is it plugged into the USB port on your Airport Extreme (which I assume is the case based on your comments, but I'm not 100% sure)? We have been receiving many complaints about this setup not working (as have other vendors) but I don't have a good answer why yet or how to work around it.
Out of curiosity, have you tried creating the print queue using the IP address of your Airport instead of using Bonjour?
Just trying to nail things down.

Can't print wirelessly with HP 7410 printer using Airport Extreme

I've got 3 Macs (2 laptops, one desktop) that I was using successfully with my wireless HP 7410 all in one printer using my old Airport Base (snow) Station (822 b & g). Just upgraded for a variety of reasons to the new Airport Extreme Base station and I have NOT been able to get the printer to print wirelessly.
I have tried all available normal methods, including, but not limited to:
1) resetting and restarting the printer and computer
2) installing new printer software, including driver
3) deleting and reinstalling printers using the "print and fax" system preference
4) using the printer on a non-secure network
5) setting up the printer to connect via IPP and LPP
The end result of all of this is that the printer is attached to the network, but the computer (any of the 3) cannot connect to the printer. When I run the HP setup assistant, it cannot "find" the printer.
Everything was working perfectly before I "upgraded." Why am I not able to print with the new base station?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same proble trying to print. I have a Mac and 2 PC laptops. I tried to print to three different printers and it will not work. I called Apple support and I was told that it was set up and configured correctly, that it ust be my firewall blocking the printer. I'm at a loss after $179.00 and three hours of trying to get it to work.

Printing Issues with HP PSC 750 on Dell Inspiron 3647 using Windows 8.1

Recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 3647 desktop which has Windows 8.1 unable to get my HP PSC 750 to print correctly.
I have downloaded all applicable Win 8.0 drivers and even tried using the HP print & Scan Doctor application. I get partial test pages printed, but the emails, documents, etc. are not complete.
I had one error pop up stating that the USB 2.0 may not work with the 3.0 on the computer, but never how to 'work around that issue'.
I tried calling HP support and they wanted to 'remote' into my computer as that was the only way they said the issue could be fixed...never done that before and was not comfortable with it...
Any other ideas - before I go out and buy a brand new printer (this one by the way still works great!)
Thanks in advance!

Hi there and welcome to the forums
I saw your post about trying to install and use your PSC 750 on your new Windows 8.1 system. After checking the drivers out for this printer, I have discovered that there is no driver available for Windows 8.1. Perhaps try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if that will help with printing. If not, I would then suggest looking into an upgraded printer which will have more up to date software and would most likely function with 8.1.
