Printing with HP Deskjet printer

I have a HP Deskjet 812C printer, and I have connected it to my brand new MacBook. Everytime I try to print a document, it comes out with half of each line printed then shoots out about five extra pages with a little bit of printing on them.
This printer worked fine for years with my iBook. I have never had this much trouble printing - anywhere. Heck, I could l print from my old iBook to my crappy Dell printer at work when the school's Dell laptop didn't even have the correct drivers to print on the Dell Printers, so this really gets me mad.
I tried deleting the printer and setting up the printer again with the Printer Set Up Utility. No go. I checked all of my settings. No go.
I have trouble printing from any application not just MSWord, so go figure.
Is it a problem with the drivers that came with this new machine?
Help, someone please!!!!!!

I checked for a hp driver and the only one is this one http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=dj-13823-4 &lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=58152&os=219&lang=en
have a look at that and try that driver for osx and hopefully it works.

Two-sided printing with HP deskjet 1050A?

Hi,
How to complete two-sided printing with HP deskjet 1050A? I looked through the properties / options menu at print preview but no options were available for this function.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hello,
You should be able to print on two sides using this method for your product:
NOTE:You can print your document on both sides of the paper, instead of just one side. Click on the Advanced button on the Paper/Quality or Layout tab. From the Pages to Print drop-down menu select Print Odd Pages Only . Click OK to print. After the odd numbered pages of the document have been printed, remove the document from the output tray. Reload the paper in the input tray with the blank side facing up. Return to the Pages to Print drop-down menu and then select Print Even Pages Only . Click OK to print.

Hello dekcanada,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are asking or describing. If you are asking how you would set up double-sided or duplex printing in Yosemite, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article:

Firefox won't print with my new HP P1102W printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer

firefox 3.6.12 won't print with my new HP P1102W laser printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer . I spoke with HP tech support. We reinstalled all drivers. They adamantly say it is a Firefox issue and you should have some modifications for it.
When I try to print from the internet using Firefox, a dialog box pops up which says "preparing to print." However, it hangs and I have to manually shut it down. Doing this terminates the Firefox session, and it will not restore upon restart. This printer will print files on my hard drive, and if I use IE8, which I do not want.
Thanks

It must be a Firefox problem, since it works perfectly in Chrome.

How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

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.

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.

Thanks to hplip changes, I can no longer print with my Deskjet F4140..

Hi. Ever since the upgrade of hplip, I've been unable to print. I searched the forums already and have removed hplip's entry from etc/rc.conf, as well as uninstalling the package. CUPS is up to date, but when I went through the "Add Printer" process, I couldn't figure out what the IP of my printer was. I clicked on the Network Printer link, but it didn't really offer any solid help. How am I supposed to figure out the IP address of something that's connected through USB?
The error I received before I removed the printer through CUPS basically told me that the device wasn't connected and it would retry in 30 seconds. I checked the connection myself (USB) and it was fine.

Scanning, Copying issues with HP deskjet printer 4515

I bought a brand new HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4518 e-All-in-One Printer 2 weeks back and was able to setup the printing facility in the printer quite easily. But I didnt try the scan and copy features. Today when I try to scan a picture, the printer took a very long time and was displaying the message "Scanning in progress" but really nothing happened. Same is the case with copying as well.
I did try the web scan feature from my printer's webpage (I have connected my laptop and the printer through WiFi), but that also didnt help.
Any ideas on how to solve these issues ?

Welcome to the forums @vijaybadri ,
I read your post about your Deskjet Ink Advantage 4518 not scanning or copying correctly for you. I have a couple of suggestions for you to try. If they do not help, I'd then recommend calling HP directly to see what your options are for a replacement or a trade in.
1. Update the Firmware: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
2. Power reset:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
3. Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

Wga600n with a deskjet printer

Does anyone know if I can connect a wga600n to a HP Deskjet printer to make it a wireless printer?

Try a wireless print server. That'll make your deskjet printer go wireless.

Does the 932C HP printer with 2 sided printing accessory work with window 7 and office word 2010?

(model#C6463A-double side, printing accessory), for the HP 923C printer? Is it real slow printing? Does it flip by itself or do I have to flip it? Also will the printer with the accessory work with windows 7 and office word 2010 to type 4 pages per sheet, like a book? Thanks and please help me!

Hi @Happyforhelp
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Deskjet 930/932c Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

IBook printing with Belkin Wireless Print Server

Hi Guys
Ok, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am a windows user (groan!, get a proper computer, yes, I know. lol lol) But trying to set up a simple network consisting of three pcs, one laptop all running windows xp/vista and one IBook. Not the best on macs but can find my way round!! All works Ok as far as seeing each other on the network and communicating/internet etc. Have introduced Belkin wireless print server to network and all ok for windows regarding printing wirelessly over the network. However, the IBook I set up as IP printing and set the appropriate address in the ibook printer setup screen. But when printing from the IBook it says the print has gone but it is actually stuck in the queue and never prints. Can anyone help with what may be a simple entry in the setup or is it some black magic IBook setting that evades us windows users??
All help will be gratefully received and promise to look at conversion!!
Thanks in anticipation of help..........

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.

Prints with caption/description printed on the back

What I want to do is order prints that have comments printed on the back.
Is there any way to do this within iPhoto and using the internal iPhoto print ordering? Maybe using Picasa 3?
If you have to go elsewhere, e.g. upload to Shutterfly, is there a way to upload the comments along with it? In other words, if I fill out the "description" within iPhoto, that info will upload and print to the back through the online service.
The only way I know how to do this is upload to Shutterfly and add the comments in their online system, but I'd rather be able to do it in iPhoto or Picasa.
Thanks so much, hope this was clear enough.

What I want to do is order prints that have comments printed on the back.
There is no way to do this with iPhoto.
As for Picasa and other non-Apple services you'll need to check with their support services.
