Printing with HP 1012 using USB

Good Day;
Has anyone got the 1012 to print reliably with the usb port? There was never any problem before snow leopard. I have tried all the recommendations posted here and nothing has worked. Sometimes it will print, other times, failure to communicate error. Resending the print job the second time so far has worked.
Thanks

I am having this same problem with my HP 1012 and communication failure messages. This is not new to 10.6 it started with 10.5 something. It seems to be getting worse with each update. I have changed USB cables and tried the other USB port. No change. I used to be able to turn off the power to the printer, wait a few seconds, power on the printer, go to the print que and restart the item in the print que and it would print. That workaround no longer seems to work.
The interesting thing is occationally it prints without a problem. Last night I was trying to print a PDF file of 11 pages and nothing worked it just would end up in the print que and I would get the comminication error mesage. If I waited quite a while (estimating 5 to 10 minutes) the file would disappear from the print cue after the communications error was displayed. This morning I started the computer and immediated opened Acrobe Professional and send the document to the print and it started printing a few seconds later.
The HP 1012 is a good printer - it just seems like its print drivers are not getting enough attenttion from HP.
Hopefully there is a solution soon as I've been very pleased with my HP purchases in the past but this is giving me worries about buying another H printer.

    If the message that is displaying is "Network connection timed out", disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the comptuer or check with the company that supports the product on how to modify it to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.

  • Why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.

    why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.
    i don't know why...

    Sometimes it can be something very simple and easy to fix. Before you get into any involved troubleshooting, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and then try to sync again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If this doesn't work, then try the more involved stuff.

  • HELP INSTALLING HP 3110 PRINTER WITH 2.0 COMPOSITE USB TO WINDOWS 8 NOTEBOOK WITH USB 3.0

    Need help installing HP PhotoSmart 3110 All in One Printer with USB 2.0 composite. Errors with message can't work properly with USB 3.0 which is on my new Windows 8 notebook. Read forum support doc for installing device on Windows 8 and ran Printer Install Wizard. Goes thru extracting and errors "the system can't find the file specified".
    HELP please. Have deadline on project.
    Thank you!

    Your V5-122p-0408 comes with only 1 USB 3 port, did you try both?
    If the printer worked fine on another computer then the problem most likely in on the V5.
    Are you running 8 or 8.1?

  • Lightroom 2.5 not printing with main account user but prints with a new use

    I have been troubleshooting all day. My new epson r280 is not printing with LR2.5 though it prints in other applications fine. Called epson and we are sure that I have the latest drivers, etc. Called Adobe and they had me create a new user in accounts in system preferences-accounts. When I tried printing from the "test user" LR printed with my epson printer. Adobe said the problem was with my system permissions and I had to reset my system permissions. This doesn't sound right to me. I ran disk utility and repaired my permissions but LR still doesn't print using my original user. Genius Book suggests going to Library-Preferences and to delete the plist. Does this sound right? And do I delete the p-list for LR or for the epson printer? What happens when you delete a p-list? Will I lose my catalog in LR? I would appreciate any help on this problem.

    Just trying again to see if anyone has any solutions for this question. Thanks

  • Communicating with HID Class using USB RAW

    I'm attempting to communicate with a HID class USB device (not a keyboard or mouse).  I've gotten the USB device to enumerate (with some significant effort) as an NI VISA USB device by using the Driver Development Wizard.  I know that I'm supposed to use interrupt transfers to endpoint 1 (index), the Set_Report HID request is 0x09, and the HID decriptor type is 0x21.  I think the value arguement on Control OUT is 0, but I'm not sure.  It seems like I've thought of everything, but the device still does not respond.  I see stuff happening when I probe the bus.  Has anyone done anything like this before?  Are you supposed to use the USB Control OUT VI for an interrupt OUT request?
    See attached .gif of code.
    Thanks,

    The first answer would be if it doesn't do it when something is one way, then do it that way. Seriously though, what do you mean by corrupted? Gaps in data? How fast are you transfering data? It may be that the processor just isn't keeping up, the UI thread for LabVIEW can take up a fair amount of processor, as do most visual "events" in Windows. It may be that the structure of your data transfer part isn't able to keep up when there isn't enough processor available. There are ways to write LabVIEW code that is more efficient that a similar function written differently. What are you running this on, a multi-core machine by any chance? If yes, then it might benefit from LabVIEW's ability (in the most recent versions) to select which core to run on.

  • Trouble printing with Leopard and Samsung USB laser printer

    I just purchased a Samsung SCX-4200 laser printer/scanner/copier. After installing 10.5-compatible drivers from the Samsung website, I'm unable to get the printer to work. Print+Fax recognizes the printer fine and the proper driver appears in the pulldown menu so all seems good there. But every time I go to print a document (I've tried numerous apps), the job begins spooling to about 6%-8% (depending on document tried) and then I get a message in the queue window that says 'Waiting for USB printer to respond.' and the job just hangs there. The job list shows the document as printing and the Print+Fax window shows the printer as in use, but no matter what I try, this thing just won't print. I've tried restarting the computer, rebooting the printer, an older version of the drivers that came with the printer (says OS 10.3-10.4 only) and myriad other tricks, but no dice.
    Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

    Well to follow up I finally heard back from Epson support...this was the response (note that it says nothing that I did not tell them already).
    Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
    respond to your inquiry. Color management is an art, make sure that only
    the application or the driver is handling the management. Turn off the
    management in the driver if you are allowing Photoshop or other software to
    handle the color management. Also make sure when you are allowing
    Photoshop to handle the color that you select the proper printer profile.
    It's very hard to help with color management via email, you may want to
    check some of the on-line color management websites on google.

    Totally useless as I explained in detail that I had already done all of this and was very familiar with color management and the process of using it. And that it was not until the latest OS-X and Epson's driver that the problems started.

  • Printing with Airport Extreme using PC

    I have an airport extreme network with an Macbook and two windows PC's connected to it wirelessly. I can access the internet with all three, but can only print wireless with the Macbook. I've installed Bon Jour on both the PC's but they still will not print. The printer is an HP L7680 if that means anything. The two PC's are an HP and a Dell, one running XP and the other running Visa. When I contacted Apple Support they said it was printer problem and I would have to contact HP. HP tells me it's a Microsoft Driver issue and to contact Microsoft. Microsoft won't respond with an answer and I have no idea where to look for a driver that I would need to download to get the PC's to print wireless.
    Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    I've had a similar problem and no thanks to apple tech support found a solution using hints from various apple discussions
    here is my system
    hypersonic desktop xp pro ethernet to airport extreme
    dell xps laptop vista wireless to airport extreme
    xerox phaser 6110mfp usb to airport extreme
    both hypersonic and dell had internet access
    hypersonic could print
    dell would print once then would have problem
    here is my fix
    uninstall avg antivirus
    uninstall bonjour
    uninstall xerox programs
    drop vista firewall
    clean registry
    go to control panel/programs/and or remove windows components
    remove any printer services then reboot
    go back to control panel/programs/and or remove windows components
    add all printer services then reboot
    download bonjour setup
    go to control panel/programs/run under compatibility mode
    execute compatibility routine to run bonjour install as administrator
    execute compatibility routine to run xerox driver install as administrator
    go to control panel/printer to delete printer
    execute compatibility routine to run bonjour wizard as administrator
    close firewall
    reinstall avg anti-virus
    everything tested well, no problems so far

  • Getting unknown error when printing with latest version(using HP Laserjet 1200). I can't print at all using this version. Able to print previously.

    I ceased to be able to print when the latest version of FireFox was
    downloaded. I can print from the same websites using I. E.
    My printer is a HP Laserjet 1200 series. I only get the error(an unknown error occurred while printing) when trying to print through FireFox. I can print email fine and any other instance as long as I'm not going through FireFox.

    Hello Josh,
    We are using a couple of EFI (Fiery) controllers with our Canon copiers and I have been told by Canon support that we need to be using the MacTel (Universal Binary) versions of drivers for Leopard. Luckily for us we have mostly new models of RIPs and the UB drivers exist for these models, but I know that they are not available for all models, which I believe includes your X3e.
    To determine if you have a driver or RIP issue, you could save the file as either PS or PDF and then use the EFI utilities, such as Command Workstation, to import the file to the RIP (select Process and Hold) and then see if you can print your multiple copies that way. If that works then you know that the RIP is probably okay.
    The next test would be to create a generic PS queue to the X3e and print using this queue. If this works then you can narrow your issue down to the driver.

  • Unable to connect Brother printer to Airport Extreme using USB

    Hi, I recently bought a Brother HL-2270DW printer, which has 802.11 b/g wireless capabilities.  My airport extreme (2008 model) is set to 802.11 n (5 ghz), so I can't set-up the printer wirelessly to the airport extreme without changing to 802.11 b/g.  Instead I'm fine hooking up the printer to the airport extreme using a USB.  When I first turn on the printer, I can print from my Macbook, but after a few minutes, the printer goes offline and has to be turned off/on.  When I try to Open Printer Utility, there is a connection error.  I have the right driver installed, and I can print fine for a few minutes after turning on the printer, and all the time when the printer is connected to the Macbook directly using the USB.  I would like to use the printer by connecting it to the airport extreme using the USB or Ethernet.  Any help would be much appreciated, thanks,

    Please explain exactly what you're experiencing that leads you to claim that.
    The current firmware of the TiVo Premier is easily confused about whether it's connected to the Internet or not.  In my experience, a TiVo unit will quickly regain its senses and decide that it really is connected.

  • Printing with HP 4215 - Using the scanning feature of the printer

    Is there any work-around in order to be able to scan using my HP4215 with 10.5? This used to work fine with the other 10.x systems of Apple. HP seems to want everybody to just (as usual) throw away their perfectly fine printer in order to recover a feature customer originally paid for and received.

    Hello A:
    Try downloading the latest driver from HP. I have a plain vanilla HP printer (which works fine), but I have read that multi-function printers are not supported by OS X built-in drivers.

  • How can I use Smart Print with IE10 without using the Bing bar.

    I have used Smart Print for a long time but after upgrading to Windows 8-64bit it seems that the only way to get it now is with the Bing Bar. I like windows but I have no use for Bing.

    Are you launching IE 10 from the Start screen, or from the desktop? Smart Print will only work if you launch IE 10 from the desktop.

  • Printing with ICC profiles using CS4

    I recently upgraded my MAC Mini to Mavericks.  My Photoshop  CS4 no longer prints using ICC profiles.  It prints using "printer controls' just fine.

    Many printer drivers (especially Epson) are having problems with printing on MacOS 10.9. Contact the printer maker to see if they have updated drivers available.
