Problem printing wirelessly with OfficeJet Pro 8600 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.7.4

I just bought this printer. Setup when perfect, my Mac sees it and when I print, it starts fine, until... it looses contact.
I re-installed everything twice, and I even got the latest installer from HP's web site.
ePrint works fine, so I know docs make their way to the printer.
The router is a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router, model WRT160Nv2, with firmware v2.0.02
Please help!!!
I even make a clip showing the problem.... http://youtu.be/Qlep8ZK8Dv0

Verify the router is on the latest firmware. If not, upgrade it.
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -

- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 1...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
You should use WPA2-AES and reset your TV and all your other wireless devices as it will ask for a new password/paraphrase.

Problems printing wirelessly with Canon PIXMA iP4500

I have a MacBook Pro 15 in 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb RAM and I’m running Mac OSX 10.5.7.
1. My Canon PIXMA iP4500 inkjet printer used to work perfectly as a printer attached to the USB port of my Airport Extreme Model A1034 modem, when my computer communicates with the modem either wirelessly or via an ethernet connection between the computer and Airport, but lately it isn’t working.
2. When I try to print the printer icon shows up in the dock and when I click on it a Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box pops up and says the Printer is Ready but the status of the document is “Stopped”.
3. If I click on “Resume” and error message appears: “Operation could not be completed. client-error-not-possible”. This happen repeatedly.
4. I recycled the modem, turned the printer off and on (and did those things in reverse) and ran Airport Utility, all to no avail. I also deleted the printers in my Print & Fax System Preferences dialog box, downloaded the latest CUPS driver from Canon (ver 10.1.0.0), and recreated the printer (called Canon iP4500 Series).
5. Network diagnostics says it can connect to the internet over either my airport or Ethernet connection but it cannot connect to the Canon iP4500 series.riousbprint.tcp.local.
6. Also when I run the Canon IJ Printer Utility from the Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box a Printer List dialog box shows up with no USB-attached printers listed
7. I can print if I connect the printer directly to my MacBook Pro, so I don’t think it’s a driver or USB cable problem. Curiously, when I connect the printer directly to the computer the Print & Fax dialog box automatically creates a second printer called Canon iP4500 series-1. If I use the original Canon iP4500 Series printer in this setup it says “No pages found”.
Basically I’m stumped at this point and would appreciate some help. Unfortunately, I’m on a 3-mo sabbatical and do not have my original Canon printer software with me so I cannot reinstall the printer app unless someone knows how I can obtain it. Similarly I cannot reinstall Leopard either, though it doesn’t seem likely I should need to. Happy to try anything else though.

Hello Basil and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Reading your post, it would suggest there is a problem with the USB of the Airport Extreme, but I don't believe this to be case as there is not much that could go wrong with them. Instead I think there is something not right with the transport (TCP) protocols that get the data from your Mac to the Airport USB.
At this stage, I suggest you look at installing version 5.23 of the Gutenprint driver. This version supports your iP4500 and will help to narrow the cause of the current symptom.
Before installing the Gutenprint driver, I suggest we trash all the current Canon drivers you have installed - we can add them again later if need be.
Open Finder and navigate to Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter. Trash all the contents of this folder and empty the trash.
Next, navigate to the Mac HD/Library/Receipts folder. You will see the Canon iP4500 xxx.pkg and another one for the CUPS driver you installed. Trash both of these and empty also.
Now open System Preferences > Print & Fax and delete all the Canon printers in the list (highlight and hit ' - '). It would also be handy to reset the printing system, so while in Print & Fax, move your mouse over the now empty printers list, hold down your Control key and click (or right-click if you can). Click on Reset printing system when it appears.
Now install the Gutenprint drivers. When this is done, restart your Mac and try adding the iP4500 again. This time, after you select the Airport shared printer, you will have to open Print Using and search for the 'Canon iP4500 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. Select this and now try printing. Let me now the result.

Printing custom sizes on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus from Macbook Pro

I am having trouble setting up a Word Document (Word for Mac 2011) to print in a custom size on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I'm using a Macbook Pro running Yosemite.
I would like to print on a card stock that is 4.5 in x 13.5 in. I have tried under Page Setup to create a custom size under Manage Custom sizes, however, I'm hitting a brick wall. The printer gets the job but can not feed the paper. I've also tried to set my default paper size under my System Preferences/Printers and Scanners to be this size...still not working.
Please help!

Hi @klinecard
It is important to ensure the paper size you are selecting is a supported size, and make sure the weight is supported too.
Printer Specifications for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Series Printer Series
Please look under paper handling.
If your desired size and weight is supported, you might find the following helpful; Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X
Truthfully, since you are not getting an error message, I suspect you have correctly setup the custom size, this issue is most likely the printers inability to feed the paper you are using.

Problems printing wirelessly with A_Extreme and Canon pixma i4000

Have had a Airport Express network setup with 2 Macs and 2 PCs sharing the printer wirelessly without problem for 2 years. Replaced the AP with an Extreme base station and now the printer is no longer detectable, although everything else is working well ( x one of the PCs can't detect the USB drive. )
2.16 GHz Intel Duo Core, G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1GB ram

Some people have found that the USB 2 port is too fast for some printers.
You can try placing a USB 1 hub in between the printer and the AEBSn.
Another option
I've had an Canon iP5000 printer linked up to my AirPort Express for remote printing. It has never worked reliably: on long complex jobs it would just stop printing in the middle of a page. Well, now some early testing of a possible fix has allowed me to print long, complex jobs without the printer stopping in the middle. I'm happy, and will test the solution more over the next few weeks. Although not yet thoroughly tested, I thought I'd share my solution now, given how well it seems to be working. I set up the firewall installed in Mac OS X to limit the bandwidth of the connection to the AirPort, so that print jobs go more slowly to the printer.

Problem printing wirelessly with MX430 series

Hi there
I got a new laptop and cannot set up to print wirelessly on my MX430 series printer. I can print via the usb cable. I am using Windows 7. I have been to your website and dowloaded all the drivers once more - per suggestions in your forum for others having a similar problem. I don't seem to have the port that starts CNBJNP that you have referenced in similar type queries I have seen on your forum and cannot find it. Help?

Problem printing wirelessly with my mfc-j835dw

Hi.
I have a problem printing to my mfc-j835dw brother printer. I did not experience this issue until our broadband provider changed our modem/router to [echolife hg521] since it was crashed. I am not sure if there is a need to check for the settings of the printer or the modem/router itself. I tried to use my mobile hotspot and connect my printer to it and luckily i could print wirelessly.
Any ideas regarding this issue?
Your response are highly appreciated.
Thanks!

I cannot print wirelessly to an Epson 810 from a MacBook Pro (2010). Stopped working with version 4 and has not worked since. Prints fine to Safari, Chrome, and all other programs. Resetting didn't help.

Prints fine with other browsers and programs. Works with my wife's MacBook Pro.

Took it to Apple Genius, they told me it was my memory (incompatible)
Believe the first one. No one RAM test will reliably indicate RAM is bad. Once indicated, it has to be replaced.
You have to get RAM made for the mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro. Just because it says it 4GB of 1600MHz DDR3 memory does not mean it is compatible with your Mac. You have to buy RAM for Macs with lifetime warranty, that is not ValueRAM, and says the model and its time frame within the year that it was released, and its model number when buying RAM. Both http://www.macsales.com/ (OWC) and http://www.crucial.com/ sell RAM in that means of attributing what kind of RAM it is.
I ran an internet-based free diagnostic tool and it showed that my hard drive did have bad parts (corrupted? possible to fix or not?) and it was acting irregularly...
What tool? Some are known to damage software components of drives. Especially any that address system cache.

Problems syncing photos with two user accounts on one Macbook pro in iPhoto

Hi, I hope someone can help. I've have a Macbook Pro with two user accounts, my wife and myself. My wife and I both have our own iPhones. We log onto our own accounts and sync perfectly with itunes - so far so good.
The only issue is we have a shared iphoto 'database'. When each of us go into iPhoto we're looking at the same photo library (i.e we can both see the same photos, events, etc), although we make sure we don't both go in at the same time as I've heard this can cause issues.
In iTunes if I sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone it works fine. If I then log out and my wife logs in and tries the same she gets a permissions error. We've worked round this by deleting the photo cache folder, however if this is done on my wifes account, for example and then she logs out, when I log in I get the same permissions error until I delete the photo cache myself - and round and round we go.
Is there a way that we can setup iPhoto and/or iTunes so we can both sync with iPhoto to our own iPhomes? If its means me 'owning' the iPhoto database and my wife having some sort of read access/view only access, that would be fine.
We're using the latest version of iTunes (9.2.1) and the iPhone OS (4.0.2) and Snow Leopard (10.6.4)

Yes I moved the iphoto library to a mounted volume, as suggested in the apple support pages, and it works fine now.
I also made sure the volume was mounted at log on automatically. The only downside is that I have to make sure may wife doesn't log on and use iphoto whilst I am logged on.

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!

Is Airport Wireless printing possible with Officejet 4315

I am thinking of getting one of these Officejet 4315s. I'll be using it as a regular sheet feed fax, wireless not necessary, but will need wireless printing.
On IFelix's Unofficial printer compatibility list with AEBS and AX, the Officejet 4215 is listed, as long as only the older drivers are used (thanks HP for those upgrades); so i'm wondering if the 4315 is just a newer evolution of the 4215 and if it too will print wirelessly with AEBS/AX, whether with old or new HP driver or with HPIJS. Any information or opinions about this?

Hi Judy, I posted this in another thread about using an HP Officejet 4215 but have pasted it below since you might find it useful. I have used my 4215 wirelessly via USB on my Airport since OS 10.2 and it works great. Lost it due to my 10.5 upgrade for a few days but now it's fine again. Best of luck.
The solution to using your HP 4215 (and MANY others) with an Airport (print only, of course) is found here:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
You need to install 3 items to make the printer print through the Airport:
1. hpijs-2.7.10-UB
2. Foomatic-RIP
3. ESP Ghostscript
Everything is found or referenced at the above Open Printing link. In fact the hpijs driver will not install at all unless it finds both #2 and #3 so do them first (or try it and find out for yourself ).
It's all explained at the link but here is how I did it:
Installed the 3 items above then go into System Prefs, then Print & Fax, then find and double-click on your printer, select Info, then select Driver, then find the Foomatic/hpijs driver that is recommended for your printer. Voila! Airport printing works again, under 10.5.1 even! Or you could wait for HP to write a new driver...
Hope this helps. Good luck!

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.

Yup, here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-76971-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...

Printing wirelessly with Airport Extreme

Hi, I have an Airport Extreme (not newest model) that I used to use with a PC and I could print wirelessly. Although one day it just stopped and I was never able to fix it. I've since given up on PC's and bought a new MacBook Pro (yea!). Unfortunately, I'm still having problems printing wirelessly. Its prints fine when connected. Can someone tell me how to first see if the laptop can "see" the the printer over the network and secondly how to fix it so that I can print wirelessly? Thanks.
Printer is: HP Photosmart 8150 and I'm using the latest drivers.

The setup manual for the AirPort Extreme suggests.....
Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme and make sure that everything is powered up
On your Mac...
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Fax
Click the small + button at the bottom of the printer list to add the new AirPort Extreme location
Hopefully, your printer will appear in the next window. If not, it may not likely be supported.
If yes, click the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Try to print.
Remember to choose the correct printer location in the print dialog box as you now have the printer installed in two different locations....one at your Mac and the other at the AirPort Extreme.
