Printing with HP 2100

I am having problems printing using my HP Laserjet 2100. The Mac recognized the printer and installed the driver, however, nothing prints. Instead I get a "Waiting for device" message. I went to HP and downloaded another driver from their site. When i use this driver, I get pages and pages of blank printing followed by about 5 pages of numbers and letters (all this for a print job that should have been less than a page). I also tried the Gutenwhatever driver to no success too.
Thanks

Since you have downloaded and installed printer drivers from 2006 (pre-Leopard) I recommend that you perform an optional install of the hp printer drivers only off of the leopard install disk.
Then click on the below link that outlines what to do based on your install and printer setup.

  • Network printing with HP 2100 TN

    I've been unable to print to a Hewlett Packard networked Laserjet 2100TN. It is not visible under 10.3.9 or 10.4 (MacBook). I have tried using the IP address but without success. I have tried GIMP drivers as suggested in earlier answers, same result. The printer is connected by ethernet cable to the network; the OS X units are connecting to the network via Airport. Older units, still on OS 9, can access the printer perfectly. The OS X units can access a more modern HP 1320 postscript model in a different office without difficulty. Any clues?

  • Printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour setting to Epson Stylus photo 2100

    I have just upgraded my work Mac (G5 Dual 2ghz PowerPC running OSX 10.5.4 and 6gb Ram) to CS3. Brilliant, except when I came to print out a presentation for a client, it keeps crashing illustrator. It always happens when I try and print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2100 using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings. We have previously be using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings (as this gets a pretty true colour representation out of our CMYK printer). All the other settings work fine, but lacks the rich colour of the emulated setting. I don't seem to be able to get even close by adjusting the setting in the colour settings panel.
    Does anyone know of a way round this, or of a patch to fix this? I have been checking out the internet, but cant find the Illustrator settings from version 6 (i'm sure it was very basic - but my boss wont except anything but those settings).
    I have tried printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings to our Lexmark laser printer C522 (basic colour results) but it was able to print. Not sure why it should work on one printer but not another?
    The printer we are using is a Epson Stylus Photo 2100, with the latest driver 3.09.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I wonder if it is a conflict with the system settings or Adobe Bridge settings somewhere. I used to use "Emulate Illustrator 6...", but always had a RIP interpret the information. I can't think of any reason why Illustrator would crash. I'd send Adobe Tech Support a note about it, maybe they can figure out what's going on. By the way, I sometimes switch my settings to "Emulate Illus 6..." and, like you, have had no problems ( but, I'm still in v10 via 10.3.9 ).

  • Is there any way to print wirelessly using Airport Extreme with an older printer (HP Laserjet 2100 TN) - no USB connection.

    I have an older printer and currently use a Cisco wireless router with Network Magic software which allows me to leave my 30 pin printer connected to the desktop computer and share the printer with everything on the network. Does the Airport Extreme allow for this? I am just connecting one that I purchased but can only find documentation on connecting the printer via USB (which my old printer does not have). The printer is late 90's vintage, but its comercial grade and is still one of the best printers I have used so I want to keep it going for now.

    I don't really know much about anything BUT with that said, I have PCs, I have an old commerical work horse HP laser printer that works with the Airport Express as a print server through my wireless router.  But having problems with my wireless router, never my AE, now how to change from WEP to WPA etc.for a new wireless router.  Maybe I need to look into the Extreme.  Good luck 

  • Is printing with ICC profile usable in CS5 and Mac Intel ?

    Hi all,
    I have an Epson Stylus Color 2100 (2200 in USA) which works perfectly in CS3 with a Power Mac G5. I have an iMac (Mac OS 10.6.4) and can't print with my Epson : everything get out greenish when I try to let Photoshop manage color. If I the printer manage color it's ok but since I work with a ColorMunki.... I would prefer to work with my profiles ! Has anyone any ideas ? Thanks for your help.

    Just for your info : there is no solution to my problem (greenish prints) it is a CS5 running SnowLeopard and Epson driver problem.
    I have not seen this issue with the new Epson drivers for the 9600, except when I did not completely remove old drivers.
    For details (and a workaround -not a solution-) you can see Adobe Tech. Note: No color management option missing when printing in Photoshop CS5 http://kb2.abobe.com/cps/834/cpsid_83497.html and for more details you can read in the Luminous Landscape Forums the topics about that ( http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/solving.shtml
    and http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=43352.0
    By far I am not the only one with this problem. I have to wait for the promised Adobe printer Module (which will be available in Adobe Tech Labs someday).
    I have tried to install CS3 on SnowLeopard but with no printing difference hence I will have to print with my G5 and CS3....
    I found that with SL that it was best to use sRGB as the assigned  profile in the workaround, but this did not produce as good a profile as  printing a no CM target with InDesign to create the profile.
    By far I am not the only one with this problem. I have to wait for the promised Adobe printer Module (which will be available in Adobe Tech Labs someday).
    Removing "No Color Management" from CS5 was just a really dumb move by Adobe just because some Epson drivers were not written correctly.  O' and by the way Adobe then releases the new version of Elements with "No Color Management" as an option. So is Adobe going to update CS5 and include the "No Color Management" option? Must be some reason after all this time they have not released the much promised application to print unmanaged targets.
    I have tried to install CS3 on SnowLeopard but with no printing difference hence I will have to print with my G5 and CS3....
    CS3 was one strange beast when it came to printing. Seems it had elements of both Apple printing paths and depending on what OS version you are using you will get different results.  I have no trust what so ever printing from CS3. Now CS4 on the other hand prints just fine, and even prints the "No Color Management" option  just fine with correct drivers, and that includes the 8.19 driver for the 9600.

  • How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

    I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:

    The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

    I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!!  I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
    You should be ashamed!!

  • Unable to print with my Canon PIXMA IP 4700 and JetDirect network appliance

    After many tries I decided to post my question.
    I have a Canon PIXMA IP 4700 connected to the network with a Jetdirect 175X box. So I tried to add a new printer with a "HP Jetdirect Socket" port. I have previously installed the driver from the official website. The test page is staying on the spooler.
    I also tried with LPD port (supported by the Jetdirect box) and IPP but nothing is working.
    When the printer is directly connected with USB, it's working fine. Printing from my others Windows computers is working fine too since many months.
    Thank your for your help.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Your problem is being caused by the Canon driver. It cannot be used when the printer is connected to the USB port of a 3rd party print server, or if shared by Windows.
    The solution is to use a driver like Gutenprint or PrintFab. Gutenprint is preferred because it is free (it ships with OS X) however the iP4700 is not listed as a supported model. The iP4600 is listed so you could try selecting this model in the Print Using menu (shown as Canon PIXMA iP4600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3). If the iP4600 Gutenprint driver does not work that well then you could look at using [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net] which does support the iP4700. It costs €49 but there is a 30 day trial so at least you can try it before committing to buying.
    Another option would be to use a Airport device, like the Express, instead of the Jetdirect print server. With the printer connected to its USB port you can then use the Canon iP4700 driver on the Mac.

  • How to print with HP Deskjet 2510 with Imac G5 on Tiger ?

    Hi Folks
    I desperately need some helping hand....
    Today my old trusty printer died (HP 1510 print/scan/ copy) and I ran to buy another one because I need to finish some tax paperwork.
    In a mad hurry, I didn't pay any attention to tech specs and I went home with brand new HP DeskJet 2510 All In One device. But !!! : ((
    In my home office I still use Imac G5 with 10.4.11 which is still pretty good comp for office work but I found out that the HP 2510 don't officially support my Imac with Tiger. Only from 10.6 and later.... I know that Imac G5 can't run nothing above 10.5.
    So, is there any way to "force" HP 2510 to somehow recognize my Imac G5? In "about my mac" on USB port, the HP 2510 is visible ....
    Many thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Sven

    So, is there any way to "force" HP 2510 to somehow recognize my Imac G5?
    You may be able to get it to print with something like this:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    although i do not see taht modle on the "Supported Printers" page. You might look again.
    BUT that workabout does not support scanning, only printing.
    I think you need to return the printer and look to either Canon or Brother. Brother especially has been better about suporting older Mac OS versions but you'll still need to get a model number and search the maker's site BEFORE buying to see if they show older drivers for download.

  • Remote printing with iPad

    I have installed the HP Print app on the iPad and have no issues printing when I am on the local net work. When I try and print when I am not on the network I receive an error that states: "oops we cannot complete the print job please try again" and there is a retry or cancel selection. My printer is set up with an email address. I can print from my Samsung note 2 using the HP Print app with no issues either on the network or off. Any ideas?

    Have you tried the ePrint mobile app?

  • HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

    I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

    From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it. 
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=3562006&lang=en&cc=us...
    Install that and let me know the result!

  • How to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with bluetooth to my mini mac?

    how to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with Bluetooth to my mini mac

    Does the printer actually support BlueTooth? If the printer is wireless, then most likely it uses Wi-Fi. Did you read the user guide that came with it? Or contact Canon tech support at their website.

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • Report printing with BI pubisher - 500 Internal server error

    Hi,
    I was having problems using BI publisher to print with. I thought we didn't have it at first, however since found we do have BI Publisher Enterprise edition.
    When I put the settings into APEX, reports don't display as expected. I get
    report error:
    ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.Now if I navigate to the URL in my web browser, http://[server]:[port]/xmlpserver/convert, I get a 500 - Internal Server Error page. The requets is definitely hitting something because if I change "convert" to say "convert1" then I get 404 (as expected). So it seems as if convert is found but then a problem occurs.
    If I navigate to just http://[server]:[port]/xmlpserver/ then I see the BI publisher enterprise login screen.
    Any ideas what might be causing this or what I could do to resovle it?
    Our APEX instance is on a unix box and BI on a M$ box if that matters (long story)?
    Thanks

    Dear Cobos, For FQDN related issues : Set profile param "icm/host_name_full" with corresponding FQDN via RZ10 transaction. Also check login/create_sso2_ticket & /accept_sso2_ticket parameters in the profile you have created.  Instead of "http://sesue:50300" you may to have the URL like "http://sesue.domain.com:50300//SAP/BW/BEX/".
