Problem setting up HP Officejet 4215xi on network

Hi All!
I can't seem to get my Powerbook G4 (OS X 10.3.9) to "see" my printer on the network. The network is a PC based network, but I've had no problem connecting to the other computers. I tried to download the drivers from HP, and even used one of the links suggested here to set up my printer on my computer. Nothing has worked. If anyone out there has the same system, and is using their HP 4215 successfully, please let me know what you did!
Thanks,
Noreen

Network printing/Windows printing only works with a driver that was meant for network printing. To use the OS X built-in CUPS network choices, you need a CUPS driver. For postscript printers, it's not an issue, because postscript is the native output of OS X, and can easily be routed to the various choices in Printer Setup.
Non-postscript printers are Very Different. Except for Brother, no manufacturer has provided CUPS drivers. Instead, what you get are Carbonized, OS9 legacy drivers, that have the comm protocol written into the driver (mostly USB). They can only print via local connection.
Short version - HP's driver doesn't do network printing.
Install hpijs and ESP ghostscript:

  • Problems setting up Time Machine using a network drive

    I am having problems setting up TimeMachine on my Mac Mini to work with a WD MyBookLive network drive.  The network drive came with a TimeMachineBackup shared folder preconfigured.  When I first connected the drive to the router and turned on TimeMachine, the TimeMachineBackups appeared as an option when I did "Select Backup Disk" from TimeMachine Preferences.
    I managed to successfully connect to the drive and start a backup running.  However the backup hit a problem and I started getting an error that the "disk was already in use".  I therefore tried to remove the disk to try and start again.  Hoever when I now do go into "Select Backup Disk" from TimeMachine Preferences the shared folder on the drive no longer apperas and I only get the option to serach for an Time Capsule.
    If I go into Finder, the MyBookLive shows up as a connected Device with all its shared folders showing (including the TimeMachineBackup folder)  and my Mac is definitely connected to the drive.  How do I get the Drive & TimeCapsuleBackup shared folder to reappear in TimeMachine Preferences so that I can select it as the destination for my backups?

    Check around the forum, you are one of very very many. It doesn't matter what WD say, do you see a Certified by Apple notice on it?
    Go here, most authoritative site about Time Machine you can find. http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html

  • Problems setting up 4 Airport Expresses in network

    I am having problems getting 4 Airport Expresses to speak to one another using WDS. Current settings are one base station and three remote base stations.
    The main base station is connected to the internet via a cable modem.
    Two of the remote base stations are connected to printers, one laser and one inkjet.
    As soon as my laptop is in the vicinity of the laser-connected Express, the entire rest of the network goes off line. I have checked and all of my Expresses are connected to Channel 1.
    Also, I was hoping to use these Expresses to extend the network. In other words, to daisy chain them together to extend the range rather than to use the hub-and-spoke configuration.
    However, one of the remote base stations seems to disrupt the rest of the network whenever I get near it with my laptop (PowerBook G4)... the rest of the Expresses disappear from the Airport Admin Utility window and I am unable to get onto the internet.
    I would very much appreciate any help and guidance.... Thanks.

    Have you tried configuring them to use a different channel? It could be that you are experiencing strong RF interference on channel 1.
    Also, I'm sure that you are aware that each WDS link cuts the available bandwidth in half. So with 3 WDS links your bandwidth has been cut in 1/8 of what would normally be available. The maximum bandwidth possible in that setup is 6.75 Mbps (54/8 Mbps).

  • Problems setting up HP Officejet 8610

    I just bought an HP Officejet 8610 and when I got to the step to calibration, it won't do it.  I can't find out anything on my computer helpful.  Can someone tell me what to do?  

    Thanks.
    Turning off the printer, dsiconnecting from power source and reconnecting worked.
    The reason I didn't do that in the first place is that the printer advised me that it could be damaged by turning off in the middle of calibration. I realised that it wasn't in the middle of calibration as it said it was at 0% of calibration, so I took the risk and tuned off/on. Thankfully it worked ok.

  • HP Officejet Pro L7590 networking problem

    Hi!
    I have the following problem:
    I have an Officejet Pro L7590 All-in-one printer. It is connected to my wlan router (ASUS WL-500G Premium) through its ethernet port.
    I have two desktop PCs, i've installed, and using this printer on them without problems. One of them runs on Vista, the other on Windows 7.
    But i can't get it work with my notebook. It connects to the router through wlan (Intel WLAN 3945ABG adapter), runs on Windows 7. When i try to add the printer, the installer detects the printer on the network, but during the installation of the device, i get an error, that the device cannot be set up.
    I have tried:
    -Other (older and newer) versions of printer software.
    -Updated printer's firmware, doesn't work either with the original, or the newest version, the problem is the same.
    -tried with all firewall settings, it doesn't work even with fully disabled firewall (I'm using Eset 4.0, even tried to remove it)
    Does anybody have some idea for this? Please help!

    The following are the details about network printer problems in Windows 7:
        “Access is denied” Error
         Not getting Add Printer Wizard
         Choose compatible drivers
    “Access is denied” Error
    If the “Access is denied” error is showing up on the computer, just go through the steps to fix the error. First, open the Printer Wizard through the Control Panel. Select the ‘Add printer Wizard’, then click ‘Add a local printer’ and then click ‘Create a new port’. Make sure that local port is there in the list and then click ‘Next’. In the Port name dialog box, type computer name and printer name and then click ‘Ok’. Complete the wizard steps to finish the process.
    Not getting Add Printer Wizard
    In some cases, the Add Printer Wizard may not be available to you. At that time, just open the Printer Wizard through the Control Panel. After that choose the ‘Network Printer’ page and go through the ‘TCP/IP’ page and complete the additional steps in the wizard.
    Choose compatible drivers
    You need to choose compatible driver in Windows 7. First, you have to click the ‘Start’ button and select and ‘All Programs’. Then, go to ‘Accessories’ and select ‘System Tools’ and then click ‘System Information’. Then, you have to select the ‘System Summary’ and then review the OS Name and System type to find out which version of operating system you are running. Then, accordingly choose the network printer driver for your computer.

  • Problems Setting up my wireless network with an Xb...

    Hi, I have had some problems setting up my wireless networking.
    I have everything switched on and am able to go online with the laptop and the Xbox with no problems but when I try to share media with the xbox I have problems.
    I have opened the ports specified in the setup from xbox on windows firewall and have no problem connection Via Ethernet cable but when using wireless the xbox cannot detect the laptop.
    I have checked the network map and both xbox and laptop are connected and have enabled sharing and am running sharing software.
    Below is the network map.
    I have also been having problems with BT software, the free virus protection will not install, The desktop help will not launch although it shows up on task manager and the installation disk does not launch correctly it doesn't get past the loading screen.
    I have had a printer on the wireless network and had no problems printing.
    If anyone knows how to resolve this please help.

    I have this same Motorola modem and I just verified that my 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can get Internet access with this modem without any issues.
    When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

  • Problem setting up Network User

    I am running Mac OS X 10.5 Server with clients running 10.5 also. Currently, there are several users on the server, but in Workgroup Manager, their home directory is set to null. The users have local accounts on certain 10.5 clients which are linked to their accounts on the server. So when they log in to the client, they are authenticated against their account on the server, and various settings (Mail, iCal) are picked up from the server.
    I now need to allow users to log in to any client machine without setting up a local account (and linking it to the server account) first. So I have gone through the procedures specified in the 'User Management v10.5' documentation, specifically the 'Administering Share Points' and 'Administering Home Folders -> Creating a Network Home Folder' sections. I have used the second set of procedures to create a network home folder for a single test user. I assume that this makes the test user a 'Network User', though how to create a 'Network User' is not explicitly specified anywhere.
    The problem is that on a client machine (that does not have a local account for the test user), the test user's network account is not listed on the login screen (though the login settings indicate it should be), and I also cannot log in as the test user by clicking on 'Other...' and supplying the requisite credentials. I should note that the client Mac is 'attached' to the server (eg. through Directory Utility).
    Can anyone provide advice as to what's going wrong? Is there some other (secret?!) step that is needed to create a Network User so that clients see the user and allow the user to login?
    Many, many thanks,
    Jolin

    Hi Leif,
    Many thanks for your reply.

    The only way of "linking" a "local" account on a computer to a OpenDirectory account that I know of is to create the "network" account homefolder on the local/client machine HD when the user is logging in to the OD server for the first time.
    Actually, it is possible to not have a network account or home folder, and link a local user to a user account on the server. When a client computer is bound to the OpenDirectory server, in the 'Accounts' preference pane of the client computer, there is a field called 'Server Account:' with a 'Set…' button. Clicking the 'Set…' button allows one to link the local account to the server account. Even though there is no home directory on the server, when the user logs in to the client Mac, the password and any managed preferences for that account are taken from the server account.
    The client machine has to be bound to OD first and the account should preferably be setup as a mobile account (so the account can be used even if the computer isn't connected to the network - logins are cached locally).
    I have bound the client machine to the OD server, but I have not yet set up the account as a mobile account. I plan to do this eventually, but wanted to get the 'basic' network user account working first.
    For a "true network home" folder residing only on a server volume/share, the OD account should use a share(point) setup in Server Admin for an automount AFP (or NFS) "User home folders" share.
    I have done this. The server has a sharepoint called 'Homes' which is set to automount over AFP, with the setting 'Use for: User home folders and group folders'. This seems to be working, because on the client Mac, the 'Homes' sharepoint automatically appears when browsing the available network volumes.
    Then in the OD the user should be setup to use the automatically created path (afp://<server FQDN>/<shared folder>) as it's homefolder path.
    I believe I've done this as well, using Workgroup Manager. When viewing the 'Basic' tab of the user, the 'Home:' is given as 'afp://<server FQDN>/Homes/jwarren'. That looks right to me, but I cannot login as the user 'jwarren' from the client Mac's login screen (Network Users are enabled on the client Mac). When I log in as a different user on the client Mac, I can browse the network, and the above afp path is automatically mounted.
    Is there some other setting needed so that the client Mac will 'see' the network user I have set up? As I say, the autmount sharepoint is set up, and the user is set up in OpenDirectory (on the server) to have a home folder on the automount. But when I'm at the login screen on the client Mac, the network user does not appear in the list, and if I try to login by typing the username and password manually, the login window just shakes as it does when one enters the incorrect password.
    Any further help much appreciated!

    You can disable or remove that button, but that won't prevent users from making the changes on the about:config page directly.<br />
    You can lock the related network.proxy prefs if you do not want users to change the connection settings.

  • HT4628 My Wi-Fi connection on my iMac drops frequently. The other computers in the house do not have this problem. If I go into the Network Preferences and choose my Network it connects immediately but it does not remember the setting.

    My Wi-Fi connection on my iMac drops frequently. The other computers in the house do not have this problem. If I go into the Network Preferences and choose my Network it connects immediately but it does not remember the setting and I must reselect my network frequently.

    The iMac picks up a wireless signal from the back of the screen, so you would want to avoid having it close to a wall, or in a confined area where the wireless signal cannot easily reach the iMac's antenna.
    We don't know how far the iMac is from your wireless router, or how many walls or other obstructions might be in the signal path that would limit the quality of signal that the iMac receives.
    Nor do we know whether you might have a cordless phone near the iMac, or whether you may be using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse....all of which can interfere with the wireless signal.
    Can you provide some more info on this?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 (Network)' is offline every morning

    I am running Windows 8. I use IE 11 and Chrome on occasion. Every morning I have trouble "waking up" my printer. I get "HP Officejet Pro 8610 (Network)' is offline". Sometimes turning the printer on and off resets it but today nothing seems to work. I even updated drivers. The rest of my network (excluding printer usage) is working fine. I have not been on a public network so that is not an issue nor has anyone else in our household.  I need to correct this every morning problem. Really, any time the printer goes to sleep I have this issue. I'm unsure if I can stop it from going to sleep or not since I can't even see it from any of our computers. Someone please help. I've been dealing with this about a month. I had previously purchased an Epson printer similar and it now sits in a box in my office because of similiar annoying issues. I previously had HP all-in-ones for about 15 years with no problems. This one is starting to make me wonder about the declining quality of HP printers. Please help as soon as possible. My son has a paper due Tuesday and can't print it. Thanks

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your Officejet 8610 is offline every morning and it seems like this printer has trouble waking up. I will do my best to assist you! Please follow this entire HP document on What is Sleep Mode? You can try updating the firmware, which should help, since your printer is losing wireless connection when it goes to sleep: 1) Press the right arrow on your printer2) Press Setup (Wrench)3) Press Web Services4) Press Printer update and check for update now Make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference. Another option you have is setting up schedule on and off. This will help with the sleep mode, as you will determine what time you would like this printer to turn and off. Note-If you decided to go down this route, if you receive faxes all the time, schedule on/off might not be a good idea. If you set a time frame when this printer is supposed to turn off, then you will not receive a fax. Also, if ePrint is enabled, this feature will not work. 1) Press the setup menu (Wrench)2) Press power management3) Press Schedule On Yes and set the time frame4) Press Schedule Off Yes and set the time frame I just want to make sure that your printer isn't going offline because of your router, not by the sleep mode. Just in case, I will provide an HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This will allow you to set a static IP address. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

    I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
    I've made the following configuration:
    - fritz adsl modem / router
    - Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
    - Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
    - Lan-cable from TC to Mac
    - Lan-cable from TC to Printer
    When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
    I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

    Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
    You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
    The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
    But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
    Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
    Have I made the explanation worse??
    Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
    Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
    For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.

  • Problems setting up static routing

    HI
    I'm having a problem setting up static routing.  I keep getting the message "invalid static route".   I have an E1550 router and my frimware is up to date.  I have tried a few different gateway addresses ie 192.168.1.1,  127.0.0.1 and my router's address on the net, but I keep getting the same message.  Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?

    I think the E1550 router supports LAN to LAN routing provided that you have two local networks. If you only have a plain modem and the E1550, I believe you can't do Static routing on that type of setup.

  • Problems Setting up a Direct Debit

    has anyone experienced any problems setting up a direct debit ??
    I've been a BT customer for approximately 20 years and have had the same account number. I've moved house a few times and retained the same account. My last house move wasn't so successful as after moving in and having broadband re set up again... I received a letter in the post saying I had requested a "termination" and a parcel was included to send my router back etc... plus... I'd be charged £100+ for the disconnection...
    Anyway I got on the phone to BT and the advisor appologised for the mix up... and suggested I cancel my direct debit with the bank to make sure the disconnection fee wasn't taken from my account..... 
    Ever since then... I have not being able to set up a direct debit online or by speaking with several BT helpdesk staff.  I email BT asking for an explaination - NOTHING.  BT helpdesk staff assure me that the direct debit will work this time and will contact me if there is a problem... again NOTHING.  I even tried writing a letter to the head of customer services... I think the name Warren Buckley rings a bell..   Someone did email me back suggesting I use the online facility.... REALLY!!  Do BT not have a fault tracking database of customer issues... so they can see I've already tried to set up the direct debit online... 
    Anyway ..... I've just noticed this forum now... so this is my latest attempt to see if anyone senior enough at BT will be embarrassed and try and sort out my account so I can start paying my bill using Direct Debit again... I'm pretty sure all that needs to happen is to be given a new account number or an account alias that can be sent to my bank. Otherwise... I'll just carry on waiting to receive the automated message from BT saying I haven't paid and then go and pay online... But I am worried one of these automated messages will arrive the day I go on a 2 week holiday and I find myself cut off when I get home... giving me more pain....
    PLEASE HELP BT ;o)

    Ro,
    Thanks for the respone, have been playin, with MPLS for last few hours.
    The routing between the loopbacks is now working, can PING 7609 Loopback from AS5350 ,and vice versa. (used static routes).
    Having problem with TDP / LDP on routers,
    mpls label protocol ldp / tdp command works correctly on both routers, but the
    tag-switching tdp router-id Loopback0 force
    command works on the 7609, but when I add it onto the AS5350 , the command "mpls ldp router-id Loopback0 force" appears on the startup script.
    The opposite is true for the 7609 , you add MPLS LDP command, and TAG-SWITCHING command appears instead.
    Any Ideas, as different configs of this leave me with forwarding table with both tags added, but not been able to ping the loopbacks !!!
    When I can ping bot loopbacks, the OUTGOING TAG , disapears.....
    Problem is LOOPBACK Commands on bot routers default to LDP (AS5350) , or TDP (7609). Any Ideas ...

  • Problems setting up WRT54G2 router

    I'm having problems setting up my Linksys WRT54G2 router. I want my mac laptop (iBook G3 running OSX) to use a wireless connection, and the home computer (running Windows XP) to stay connected to the modem.
    I originally tried to set up the router by connecting it via ethernet to my laptop (and by ethernet to the modem), and went into the 192.168.1.1 address to configure it. The internet works fine on my laptop when connected to the wireless by ethernet but it can't connect wirelessly (it has an original airport card fitted, at first I thought I might need to upgrade the firmware but I ran a software update and one didn't come up). I then realised that I would need to MAC clone from the PC, that is connected to the modem? I tried to do this today, but I couldn't access the 192.168.1.1 address from the PC. I have tried resetting the router, and disabling the firewall but still can't access it. This PC also has anti-virus software running too - could this be the problem, or am I setting it up wrong? Thanks.

    If you are trying to Setup your Router with the setup disk, Then you can exit from the setup and configure your Router manually. Before you configure your router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable.....
    You need to connect your Modem to Linksys Router on Internet Port and your Computer to Linksys Router on Port No.1.
    If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
    If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
    Here are the Wireless Settings which you can set on your router, once done you can try connecting your MAC computer to your Wireless network and check if you are Online from MAC computer. 
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1

    - Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
