Problem in installing a HP network printer

I have a P2055dn laserjet. It is connected directly to the router on my network. I have a computer that uses it regularly and I can install it on another one. It goes thru the installation, finds the printer itself and when it's close to completion, I get a square box with an OK in it, no error message in it. Once you click "OK", it goes into a loop and tries to find the printer again, which it does and than goes back to that "OK" box, an so on.
Does someone have a solution?
Thanks

Installation error 0x00004005 when installing aHP 1220c network printer on a win 7 - 64 bit

I am attempting to install an HP 1220c printer on my new Win 7-64 laptop. The laptop finds the printer connected to a desktop XP computer automatically when I click "Add New Network Printer" but the installation fails with error 0x00004005. If I connect the printer via a USB cable directly to the new laptop, it installs OK.
After the USB install went OK, I replugged the printer into the XP desktop and tried again. I got the same error message even though the laptop found the printer on the desktop automatically.

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes I have tried the CS5 Cleanup Tool - multiple times. Doesn't help.
I am surprised to hear that you installed with no problems in light of Tech Support being adament that it won't work on Windows 7 and is not supported.
I told Tech that I didn't accept that as there are probably hundreds of thousands of users with CS3 who have installed or tried to install on a Win7 machine and not everyone has hundreds of dollars spare to upgrade.
I only really use DW, PS and Acrobat in the Suite so I'm going to have to save to buy those products but it won't be anytime soon.
Thanks.

Problem with installing HP LaserJet 1102 printer driver

Hi there,
I have got realy annoying problem with printer driver installation on HP LaserJet 1102.
Basically I downloaded driver from the website and tried to install printer. When the installation is almost done, the message pops up(image attached).
I've checked printer spooler service, tried almost everything.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks
Minhoquinho

I would suggest going into your control panel and uninstalling everything associated with the p1102, rebooting your computer and trying a fresh install.
If this does not solve the install issue, please repost and error message along with your OS so that we may better help you.

Problems with cupsd and a network printer

After an upgrade, firefox and xpdf print gibberish. It prints a line or two on many pages. I usually end up turning the printer off.
I am using cups 1.4.8-2
The printer I'm using:
Description: HP Color LaserJet 2605
Location:

I've tested on two i686 computers and they print fine. The problem seems to be specific to x86_64 or at the very least two x220 thinkpads.

Can't Connect to My Network Printer Anymore: Brother 7065-DN

I bought my Macbook Pro in 2010 and never had a problem connecting to my home network printer until a few months ago. Ever since I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 I can't see or access the network printer. My daughter, who bought her Macbook Pro at the beginning of the year, pre installed with Mountain Lion, has no issues seeing and printing to the printer. I tried reinstalling the driver from my disk and it wouldn't take. I tried downloading the Brother driver from Apple and the specific driver's and updates for my printer, nothing. When I am lucky enough to see it on the printer list, it won't print, saying that the printer cannot be located. I have tried (when it does see it, which is random and weird) using the IP address and then the driver from the list, I also tried using the post script general. I have tried adding the IP address of the printer in the printer set up, I have tried adding the MAC address, I've tried clicking it when it occasionally shows up under my work group. I tried installing it while it was connected directly to the laptop...Nothing....I've turned on printer sharing, file sharing, and anything else I can think of...I am at a loss!
The two Windows PC and the other Macbook in the house can connect via the network, no problem. I even tried to look at her settings to see what was different but I couldn't figure it out. What is really frustrating is that I am working on my degree and need to print regularly, so everyone else in the house has to stop what they are doing, open the file I sent them through e-mail, download it, and then print it. It irritates them and me!
I have a standard router n/b/g and a comcast modem. One desk top and three laptops connected to it. Internet access works fine. Printer is a Laser Jet all in one scanner/printer Brother 7065-DN. I have downloaded all the updated drivers from Apple and Brother. Someone please help!! I am going crazy and wasting a lot of time messing with this that could be better spent on my homework!! Like I said, it worked fine until the upgrade!!

Problem on installing network printer Officejet Pro x451dw

Problem on installing network printer Officejet Pro x451dw
Hello everyone. I'm trying to install the above printer on my PC belonging to a network of about 7 pc. I should say that on the PC in question is running Windows XP Professional SP3 and that the printer has already been installed on other computers in the network and is functioning. I tried using both the driver CD that can be found on the HP website and they both do not give errors during instalation, indeed, perfectly detect the printer and its IP address, so the installation finishes successfully, but the press the test page, the waiting time extends until the error message "unable to print the document." I also made an attempt with the software "hp scan doctor" and also this does not detect errors up to the test of the final print, that does not go through. At this point the software calls to make a print "internal" that this time occurs. The suggestion is to uninstall and then reinstall the HP software, but this intervention does not have a positive outcome. How else could I do attempt ??? I ask for help! Thank you for your attention. regards Roberto
Problema su installazione di rete stampante Officejet Pro x451dw
Salve a tutti. Sto cercando di installare la suddetta stampante sul mio PC appartenente ad una rete di circa 7 pc. Devo premettere che sul pc in questione è installato Windows Xp Professional SP3 e che la stampante è stata già installata sugli altri computer della rete ed è funzionante. Ho provato ad utilizzare sia il driver del CD che quello reperibile sul sito HP ed entrambi non danno errori in fase di instalazione, anzi, rilevano perfettamente la stampante ed il suo indirizzo IP, così l'installazione si conclude con esito positivo, ma alla stampa della pagina di prova il tempo di attesa si protrae fino al messaggio di errore " impossibile stampare documento ". Ho anche fatto un tentativo con il software "hp scan doctor" ed anche quest'ultimo non rileva errori fino alla prova di stampa finale, che non va a buon fine. A questo punto il software invita a effettuare una stampa " interna" che questa volta avviene. Il suggerimento è quello di disinstallare il software hp per poi reinstallare, ma anche questo intervento non ha esiti positivi. quale altro tentativo potrei fare ??? Chiedo aiuto ! Grazie per l'attenzione. Saluti Roberto

Problem printing from Win 7 PC to AE Base Station connected Network Printer

Hi, i have an AE 802.11g version 5.7 software with an IP4800 canon printer attached via USB.
i can print perfecrtly to it from both my macs (G5 desktop and Intel laptop) running 10.5.8.
recently i connected my girl's Vaio laptop running Windows 7 and it works fine for connecting to the internet but i CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to get the network printing working. we installed the latest drivers for the canon on her PC and downloaded and installed Bonjour for WIndows version 2.02 (link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999) The printer is even "seen" on her PC, shows up with a green arrow and the base station is identified, but everytime we try and print we end up with a "error printing document" message after a minute or so.
i have gone into the prefs and we have enabled the UDP port "5353" just in case her MacAffee or the firewall was the issue. this has not worked either. i have tried the solution proposed by a user on this link (http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/177086-fixed-problems-wireless-printi ng-over-airport-extreme.html) and that has not worked either.
i have spent over 2 hours on this and am at an end to what else could work. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?
thx in advance for your feedback!

I have follwed the instructions provided in the html link but I still can not get my Lexmark 5470 to print. I even tried to add a printer using CUPS but that is not working either. Printer works great on the Mac and it will print if directly connected to the PC. I can not get it to print over my wireless network. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Canon IR 3235 -- snow leopard -- problems with network printer

Hi,
since yesterday I've problems to print to the network printer [canon IR 3235-3245] -- updated to snow leopard ca. 14 days ago, then experienced printing problems, search this list for answers, then downloaded new canon drivers, re-configured the printer in system preferences, send the print command --- and got 100s of white sheets of paper instead of the 2 pages I wanted ...
what was wrong, or can anybody give me a clue to solve this?
thanks, bommelkamp

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
With regards to the printing of 100's of white sheets, this could be a result of using the Canon PPDs but not having the PostScript license enabled in the iR3245.
The iR3245 series is supported by the Canon UFR2 v2.00 driver. This is the driver to download if you haven't done so already. With this driver installed, you create an IP printer using LPD as the protocol and a queue name of LP. Then in the Print Using select the "Canon iR3235/iR3245 UFR II (UK)".
Alternatively you can use Generic PCL Laser Printer for the printer model instead of the Canon UFR2 driver. This will get you printing but does not support any of the copiers finishing options.

Adobe reader XI: doule sided print problem with network printer (windows 8 pro)

Hi, I'm facing a problem with my old printer, the xerox phaser 3160n. It was connected to my notebook through network connection, and everything works well with Adobe X /Win 7 OS (including the double side print, of course) last month, I have upgraded my NB to windows 8 with clean install
clean install my printer driver for windows 8 too, and Adobe reader XI was also downloaded through official website.
However, since I was about to use double sided print in Adobe reader XI (11.00.02) it couldn't obey the order, but just print one side as usual
I have checked the "option" of my printer, and it was correctly set to "double-sided print". I have tried word 2013 to open the same pdf, and choose the same "double-sided print" and it works perfectly.
Is this problem a bug? and would it be corrected in the next update version??
(I remeber I've saw a similar issue too, with network printer, but I couldn't find it)
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Meanwhile, after insatlling the latest driver for printer from the manufacture website, restart the spooler service as a test.
Start > Run > cmd and type "net stop spooler" after that "net start spooler" or start > run > service.msc and restart it over the GUI.
Run Printer Troubleshootor under Action Center\Troubleshooting\Programs\Printer, and check if it helps.
And yes, the manufacture should have more sence about the printer, it's recommended to contact them.

Having network printer connection problems using a Macbook Pro

I hope a "greater mind" can suggest a solution to the following problem:
Up until 2 days ago, I was successfully connected to the network printer at my office using both my Macbook Pro at work and at home (both wirelessly, OS 10.6.8). From yesterday, however, I now only receive the following message when I send a file for printing: "network host (and then its IP address) is busy. Will try again in 10 seconds."
All right, my system admin. advised me to re-install the printer on both computers. I did. In printer set-up, 1) Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD; 2) Address: the IP address of the printer; 3) Queue: secinmac. This is the queue name specifically for Mac use and given to us by the company who installed our network printer; 4) Name: we use the printer's IP address; 5) Location: left blank; 6) Print Using: Generic PCL Laser Printer. Further for 6), in the "installable options" dialog box, I click "Duplexer". Then, finally, I click "ADD". The printer is added.
However, when I try to print a file, I continue to get the "busy" message. The file spools for about 3%, and then the "busy message" appears, and I cannot print. You can imagine how frustrating this is when the problem has arisen from one day to the next! A colleague who also uses a MacBook Pro sent a file to print on the network printer today, and he had no problems! I, however, have no success !
Any ideas that can help me? Thanks, in advance!

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Yes, I tried this when I was reading a bit of Apple communities history on this matter, and it did not work. I also tried this, and then rebooted my Mac, but to no avail! While I was at the office today, my system admin also logged into our network and tried to get something to print on his Mac, but he now has the same problem as I do.
He gets the "busy message", too !
I'll try to see if I can get a solution from APPLE by going through my support service agreement.....From reading the history on this issue, I would have thought that APPLE would have worked on this to come up with a fix by now...!
Thank you again for your suggestion! Cheers.

How to install a network print on solaris 10

How to install a network print on solaris 10?
Thank You!

Thank you Zettabyte!!
Folks, network printers should NOT BE configured like this:
lpadmin -p somequeue -s someprinter
that creates a remote style queue and puts all the I/O and processing capability on the basic LPD listener present on network printer interfaces. This will cause problems down the road, not to mention that you cannot control access, get any logging, filter content, or control banner pages.
Network printers should use any software (or PPD file) supplied by the vendor over the basic lpadmin/netstandard config.
You can install CUPS, but Oracle won't support it until it's part of the OS (S11, apparently).
The "System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing" is highly recommended for those administering printers on Solaris.

Need help installing Canon network printer on Mountain Lion

I am trying to install a Canon MF4270 network printer with my Macbook Air running Mountain Lion.
I added the printer using its IP, and selected the MF4200 driver from the list that came installed with the OS. The printer worked, but it would not allow me to print double-sided (the option was greyed out). Some research showed that other people with similar problems simply updated the printer driver.
I checked the driver version and it said 2.0. I went to the Canon website and downloaded the newest version of the driver, which said 2.43.
I re-added the printer with the new driver. Same problem.
So I deleted the driver and the list of associated files, given to me by Canon tech support (I verified then that the MF4200 driver was no longer on the list), then installed the new driver (restarting my computer at every step). I re-added the printer.
Now, it doesn't work at all. When I try to print, I get the following message: "Canon UFR II Printer Driver / Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information."
I tried adding the printer using the Generic PostScript Printer driver, and when I print, it says that it is printing and I get no errors, but nothing prints.
Now, I can't print at all, and no one at Canon or Apple has been able to solve the problem.
Please help.

First, delete the print queue in the Print & Scan preference pane, if you haven't already done so.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Caches/Canon/CUPSCAPT/CCPD/ccpd.conf
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your login password.
Recreate the print queue.
