Problems adding an HP 7210 over the network

I have an HP 7210 connected to my network via a router, and am trying to add it to my mac mini. When adding the printer, on the "Default" tab the fax is discovered fine, but the printer is not. I've tried to force the printer to be added by selecting the discovered "OfficeJet 7200 series (Fax)" and selecting the printer driver, rather than the fax driver, but that did not work (printer is added, but just won't print). I've also tried manually adding it via the IP tab. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the HP drivers, reset the printing system, restarted the printer and mac, etc. Interestingly, I CAN print the test page from the HP Utility when I've tried to force the printer to be added using one of the methods above, but I can just not do it from the print queue.
I'm at a loss... any suggestions.
Thanks!

Well I figured it out, I guess. I manually added the printer on the IP tab selecting "HP Jetdirect", and it worked this time. Not sure why I had to add it manually, but I'm glad it works now.

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

Sound problem while transimission over the network by using JMF API

i had done an application which transmit audio and video over the network by using JMF API in JAVA. All my application work very well but i have a problem with the sound while i transmit it. this sound has a very bad quality (i am using AVReceive2.java) .
has anyone an indication or solution for my problem
it's very urgent, please help me.

sar

you can try modifing de Capture example from JMF Solutions.
change this function:
public int startCapture() {
     int result = -1;
     enableComponents(false);
     buttonStart.setLabel("Pause");
     buttonEnd.setEnabled(true);
     startMonitoring();
     try {
processor.start();
DataSource clone = Manager.createCloneableDataSource(datasource);
     MediaLocator ml2 = new MediaLocator("file://capture.mov");
System.out.println("Content Type " + clone.getContentType());
datasink = Manager.createDataSink(processor.getDataOutput(), ml2);
     datasink.open();
datasink.addDataSinkListener(this);
     datasink.start();
result = 0;
     } catch (Exception e) {
     System.err.println("DataSink Exception " + e);
result= -1;

HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"

I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet. I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address. It is the only thing it discovers.
I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network" Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
This just cycles with no progress. I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV. No change.
I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer. It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
This question was solved.

I am having a similar problem as well. The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility. However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized. I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck. As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues. Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated!

HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!

Hi,
My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
I have connect the printer to a windows XP 32bit SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer but when sharing it over the network it works too slow, for example with print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and for other documents it takes much longer time.
I have installed the latest driver form HP website and upgrade the firmware it the latest version.
It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.
I connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and it works fine (No delays over the network) and it seems that this problem have some relations with the windows XP Driver.
I have used local port trick on remote machines (instead of regular method) like this:
''add a local printer;
'new port'
'localport'
\\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName as port name
but still nothing!
There is nothing wrong with the network, we use to use a Samsung printer on the same machines over the network with no problem.
I Really appreciate your HELP!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

BEHZAD_T, how is the printer connected to the network (wireless or Ethernet)? If it is slow wirelessly, I would suggest trying to connect the printer to your router with the Ethernet cord and install it to the networked computer that way.
Another question is, relatively speaking, how close to your router are the Samsung printer and the HP printer? Depending on the distance (and what stands between the devices) there can be a lag between sending a print job and it being received by the printer.
Let me know!

Airport won't print over the network

I have a basic HP Photosmart C4200 series printer. It works fine when I plug it directly into my computer but when I plug it into the router, it won't print and this message comes up : "Unable to read response header - short read"
When I delete/add the printer from Preferences, it finds the printer and establishes connection but when I try to print over the network, it gives me that error message.
A weird thing I found was that when connected to the airport, my printer shows up under the iDisks tab under the Airport Utilities instead of being in the Printers tab...

Welcome to the discussions!
A number of entry level printers are designed so that they will only work when they are connected directly to a computer, so that may possibly explain your problem.
To verify, you can work your way through Apple's troubleshooting guide to see if this is the case. If you've completed all the steps and still can't print, I think you have your answer.

Pinging a printer to see if it works over the network

I've been printing from a Windows 7 computer to a PSC C6180 over a wireless network. All of a sudden it stopped printing. I don't if a power surge or something blew some stuff out (the fax part is already gone) or if it is something else.
I removed the printer and removed the installed software in order to put it back in its "initial state."
Before I removed the software, I tried to add a network printer to see if that would do it. At the point in the process where it looks for printers, it didn't find it. It makes me wonder if it will work over the network at all, but I do note the blue 802.11g LED is lit.
Before I reinstall the software (AIO_CDA_FSW_Full_Win_WW.130_140.exe is what I have) I want to ping the printer and see if the computer can see it. What's the ping address?

Hello ErnieLane,
Please follow steps 1-4 described in Access the Embedded Web Server to print a configuration page, it will contain the current IP address (if any).
Hope this will help.

Fax over the network with HP LaserJet 400 ColorMFP M475dw

But I can't find any option to just FAX from Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat Reader, going to File ---> Print ---> and select M475dw "FAx", I installed the lasted version of the drivers downloaded from hp.com and there's no way to install this multifunction printer as a FAX.
So I can't see the FAX on Printers in the control panel of windows.
I have never got an error message from any computer during the installation process either.
Does anyone has an idea of what to do here?
Thanks ahead.

Thanks for your quick answer, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately, it didn't resolve my problem
Actually any of the workstations after complete the installation (with the last version of drivers downloaded just now from hp.com) can't recognize the HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw, as a fax. I can print and scan over the network, or connecting the printer with a usb cable. I just can't see the icon "HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw FAX" in Control Panel ---> Devices and Printers. I did a full installation when I were asked during the installation process... I did then I custom installation and neither of them seems to work to me
This is very strange, it never happened to me with any other models of all-in-on (printer/fax/scanner)

HP photosmart C4700 cannot be connected over the network.

my printer was recently unplugged and refuses to print. i have reinstalled all drivers and software but still cannot connect over the network. please help soon as i desperatley need to print off college work. this has happened before but reinstalling the drivers worked.

HP 8450 over the Network

I have been trying to get my HP Photosmart 8450 printer to work under Leopard to no avail. I have it hooked up over the network. When i do the manual install, i do not even see the driver listed. This, despite the HP site which tells me the driver comes as part of Leopard.

i plugged my MacBook Pro into the printer using a USB cable and it saw it. What is odd, is the correct driver is listed, but if i do a manual install of the printer, the driver is no where to be found. THis is a major problem for me as i do not want to have to plug the computer into the printer everytime i have to print.
My Windows XP box can print over the network, why can't my mac?

Time Machine over the Network

Hello,
I've been using Time Machine for over 3 years now with no issues over the network; the destination being a 1TB-limited sparseimage setup as instructed by this tutorial. The image resides on an external HD connected on a network-connected iMac. Everything has been working flawlessly: Every hour Time Machine would MOUNT the disk image on its own, BACKUP the data and UNMOUNT the disk image as well.
Until I upgraded to Lion. The above process is still working per se, however it is PAINFULLY slow! A 50MB backup can take up to AN HOUR! Searching around on the net, advised that there could be an issue with Spotlight as well, however this is not the case for me, since Spotlight finished a new index in under 30 mins.
While testing, I tried to copy a 200MB file ONTO the Time Machine disk (mounted from the sparseimage automatically by Time Machine) and it took OVER 3 hours! I then stopped Time Machine (which tool half an hour) and mounted the image via Finder and the same file copied in 4 secs!
I really don't get it; I bet both times the mounted Volume runes under the same protocol, AFP via TCP, why is it behaving so strangely when auto-mounted by Time Machine?
Next, I read about tmutil has been added to Lion upwards and that setting a mounted disk image as destination is now supported by TM. So I went on and mounted the image via the Finder, set the mounted Volume as the time machine destination via tmutil and gave the backup a try. The process went away really fast, was extremely pleased!
However: As soon as the backup finishes, the Volume EJECTS and TM reports that the next backup is to be made "when the backup disk is connected"! It will NOT mount the image by its own, neither to backup or to access old backups. But wait, there's more: Be selecting "Backup now" via the TM menu item, the Volume MOUNTS INSTANTLY and the backup takes place, with no issues whatsoever!
What I need is a TM that backs up quickly over the network and mounts its disk automatically.
Well, I guess if you had the time and will to read the above text, you may try to help, if you have a clue, that is...
Thank you.

I am afraid that the information on the excellent tutorial (which I have already checked many times) don't help me much... I have two main questions:
1. Why is the TM-mounted volume so slow? Mounting the same volume through the Finder works blazing fast! Is there something special in the way TM mounts its volumes?
2. Is there a proper way to force TM to start an automatic backup, when the backup volume is not mounted? It used to work when the destination was the network volume, but does not work when the destination is set to the sparsebundle volume which inside the network volume.

Error -43 when opening a quicktime over the network

Hi, a really strange one here. I've moved our FTP server internally to a different Mac running 10.5.x Server. Everything seems to be working except when we try and play a quicktime over the network on a Windows PC. The file will play correctly in VLC but trying to open the same file in Quicktime, brings up the error -43. Very strange.
Anyone got any ideas? Do I need to have something enables in the services for this to work? It all works fine playing on a Mac.
Cheers,
Dave.

More results from some testing. If I move the QT file into the root directory of the FTP server where I have this problem, it plays on PCs fine. Must be something to do with the path name, but this has all worked fine before but on a different version of Mac OS X Server. Any ideas?

Sending Connection object over the network

Hi,
How can a Connection object be sent over the network and run on another JVM. I need to hold connection object to execute processes one after other, that require Oracle connection without ever connecting again. I do not have J2EE container or webserver setup to hold connection/connectionpool,but need to run the process on command line. I am using RMI infrastructure to pass parameters/return values but connection object is not serializable and cannot be marshalled and failing. Please explain, if there is another way using JDK 1.4
Sudheer

I don't believe this is possible. A connection object has a number of associated structures on the operating system, which generally makes it impossible to move. From a fundamental networking level, you also cannot, in general, cause a connection to machine1 to start communicating with machine2-- that would introduce all manner of security problems.
Why don't you want to just create another connection on the other machine?

Send BufferedImage over the network

I have already successfully setup a client/server connection. The issue, is when I send the BufferedImage over the network, it says:
"Caused by: java.io.NotSerializableException: java.awt.image.BufferedImage"
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

Like the exception say, BufferedImage is not serializable. You cannot serialize it. The problem will go away if you don't try to serialize it. Of course, that doesn't answer the question you really meant to ask... which I'll leave for somebody else.
