Problems printing over WiFi on Intel MacMini

Is anyone having printing problems over Wireless?
The only way I can print is over Ethernet. For some reason I can only print over wireless to Appletalk Ethernet printers (Magicolor 3300 and LaserJet 4MP). Printing works fine on Powerbook wireless and G4 Mini Wireless, but not on Intel MacMini. The Appletalk seems to switch properly, but I get an error on the Intel MacMini in the print dialog "can't find route to host. Both MacMinis set up with DHCP, both system settings are the same.
Also the print Dialog on the Magicolor Printer is missing a selection "Printing Features" although same driver is installed on both machines. Could there be some issues with printing on the Intel MacMini ???
MacMini   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

This seems to be a recurring problem with the Intel Macs. MBP owners are having the same issue. It think it must be an OS bug.

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    Sometimes you do have to restart everything again, including the Router - even after you have installed the Full Feature Software.
    If that does not work (restarting the Router), you might try this:
    Remove the Printer software from Control Panel > set icon view > Programs and Features > Right-Click on the program > Uninstall
    Shut down the computer
    Shut down / Switch off the printer
    Switch off the Router
    Wait around for 2 minutes...
    Switch on the router and wiat for it to boot completely - say, 1 minute.
    Boot the computer and log in
    Switch on the printer
    Install the Full Feature Software for the printer following the instructions:

  • Cannot print or scan with USB printer over wifi from airport express / time capsule wifi

    Hi everybody,
    I have recently set up time capsule connected to the router from the telephone company but created a new wifi network for the time machine to better work. Now I have bought an airport express to be able to use my USB printer over the WIFI network. I have to laptops, the printing works fine over the mac book air but not over the macbook pro. On top of that I cannot scan with either of the devices.
    I have scanned most of the information out there but this issue seems not to be addressed properly anywhere. Advices given do always repeat itself but no solution worked for me.
    Now I have plugged the usb from the printer directly back into mac book pro and the problem seems to persist here too. The message I receive everywhere is this one:
    The software for the printer was installed incorrectly.
    Would you like it to be repaired?
    When I hit the Repair button a notice says 'repairing permissions' but nothing really happens. In the end nothing has been printed.
    Resetting the printing systems has not really changed anything either. The problems persist.
    This is the screen I get when the printer is directly plugged in through USB:
    Result: printer recognised and installed, I cannot print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly), but I can scan (probably because of the hint ('multifunction')
    When I try to install the printer through the network connection (wifi network over time capsule and airport express) I get this image:
    Result: printer recognised over bonjour but without multifunction (in other words without scanning), I cannot scan nor print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly)
    As I already mentioned any solution I found online would not work. Now the qustions are:
    1) why can't I print? The drivers seem to be there but somehow broken, and I don't know how to repair it
    2) why can't I scan over wifi? It sould possible that any function that can be performed over cable should also be able to performable over air, right?
    I would very much appreciate any kind of help.
    Thank you in advance,
    Cris

    What's up doc?
    HP has not provided "network" drivers to allow advanced features when the the All-in-One is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    Therefore, only the printing function is supported when the All-in-One is connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
    If you need advanced features like fax, copy, scan, maintenance etc., you will need to connect over the WiFI network, or connect the All-in-One directly to your computer.

  • Problems printing over network

    i have a macbook pro and a macbook air running os x 10.5.8 that i usually print with over my wifi network to a kyocera mita fs-1010 that is connected by usb to a powerbook G4 running 10.3.9. the past few weeks there have been problems.
    at first when i printed something it looked like the doc was spooling to the printer but then nothing came out the other end. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and the printer over LPD and IPP but it didn't improve.
    i found this kb article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275 and ran the terminal command
    cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'
    next time i went to install the printer, the fs-1010 was there in the default list, i added it and all worked fine.
    until today, the fs-1010 has disappeared from the printer list & i can't add it back & it's not showing up if i run the terminal command.
    what may be the problem, and can anyone please help with a fix ?
    thanks.

    Well there must be something blocking the cups broadcast. Do you have the firewall enabled on any Mac or router? When the browsing is set to Bonjour, these packets will typically be allowed to pass through the network. But since you had to change the broadcast detection method to include CUPS (to support 10.3.9), then maybe this is being blocked between the PowerBook and the other Mac's?
    If there is no firewall blocking, then another possible cause could be IP addressing. By default, Mac's on the same subnet as other Mac's will receive information being broadcast about shared printers. However, if the Mac is on a different subnet to the Mac sharing the printer, then the packet will not be seen. To resolve this you can ensure all Mac's are set to the same IP subnet (typically the first three numbers of the IP address).

  • Printing Problems - HP over Wifi

    Hi
    Firstly, I'm new to Macs, having worked with PC's all my life.
    I have a HP PSC 2350 printer, connected to a windows XP PC via USB that is shared. I'm able to print to this printer from other PC's in the house over my wireless network.
    I have a new Macbook Pro that I'm trying to connect to the same printer. I've added the printer to the Macbook via Print and Fax, selecting the windows option, and going through Workgroup and selecting my windows PC and then selecting HP.
    However, this particular model of printer is not listed in the drivers list and attempts to download a suitable driver have failed, selecting other HP drivers does not allow me to print to this printer.
    So, I can select the printer, but it does not print.
    Any help apprecaited, as this frustrating the heck out of me!
    Thanks!

    You have to use a "CUPS" driver to use Windows Printing - HP's driver isn't a CUPS driver. Install the three-part hpijs driver from:

  • Very slow printing over WiFi

    Hi everyone!
    One of my clients has uses a 4th generation Apple AirPort Extreme. It's a small network with only 3 to 5 users.
    All users connect via Ethernet cable, but one individual recently moved her iMac 21 to a spot in the office that doesn't have a wired network connection. Although she's able to work fine via a wireless connection in almost every respect, printing to their Canon ir C3080 copier is painfully slow over wireless. It doesn't matter what she tries to print - even a small text file takes up to five minutes to print. When I move and connect her iMac to the network via Ethernet, the printing problem disappears.
    I then tested the other computers in the office and my computer for this problem and found that they all printed very slowly over the WiFi connection.
    Their AirPort base station is up-to-date with the most current firmware, and all the computers are running the most updated versions of Snow Leopard. I'm running Lion on my computer, by the way.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem? I don't have another printer I can test in this office, but I think that may be the next thing I have to do.
    Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

  • HP Photosmart B110 series wont print over wifi after OSX 10.8 upgrade

    My HP Photosmart B110 series worked fine with OSX ML, after move to 10.8 - nothing.  Software update installed an HP update, found the printer which it marked IDLE, then when you testprint/print, is says........Printer can't be found!?!  Have removed the printer in sys pref........then added new printer......no problem, shows available, idle.  When you try and print nada.  Works using the USB cable.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try rebooting your router by unplugging its power for 30 seconds.
    Once the router is up make sure to reboot the printer as well.
    If you still cannot print after those steps you may try resetting the printing system:
    *Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
    Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
    Select Print & Scan.
    Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type your user Name and Password .
    Click OK . The printing system resets.
    Now click the Plus sign, select the printer and try printing again.
    As the issue only appear over the network please let me know your router brand and model if the issue persists after completing the steps above.

  • Problems printing over wireless network

    i gave my parents a macboook pro and wireless router, and i also gave them my old g4 tower. i set the g4 up to print via usb connection to the hp 2410 all-in-one printer....no problems there. the g4 is also connected to the network via ethernet (cable modem).
    then i set up the router so the MBP could connect to the internet...no problems there. wireless router connected to the cavle modem.
    then i tried to print wirelessly from the MBP to the printer....no luck. printer sharing is on and drivers are installed, but the MBP isnt recognizing a printer on the network. any help??

    "drivers are installed"
    Did you check the printer's manufacturer site to confirm the drivers are updated? Besides my printer's own drivers I also use Gimp drivers which can be found HERE.
    Did you repair permissions & then restar your comoputer?
    On all your computers using the printer, check System Preferences>Sharing>Services
    Make sure +Printer Sharing+ is ON.
    Your system info confirms you are only using OS 10.6. Update your OS & check Software Update to install all the other updates that goes along w/it.

  • Unable to print over wifi on CP3525

    Hello,
    we just installed a new CP3525dn in my lab. It is connected to the network via ethernet. We are able to print from computers connected to the network via ethernet, without any difficulties. However, we are not able to print via computers connected via wireless. We are not even able to ping the printer from the wireless network.
    We tried from a MacBook pro running under snow leopard, and another laptop running under XP. Both failed to print wirelessly but were able to print if connected to the cabled network.
    Any suggestions?

    Solved the problem. Router was improperly configured.

  • All settings seem fine but Officejet 8600 pro won't print over wifi

    Hi
    This is my second post concerning this problem. I thought I'd solved it but apparently not.
    The printer shows that it is connected to the network (fixed ip address) and stays connected
    I can access the printer's homepage and settings from my browser.
    I've checked all router settings as per HPs wireless printing website  (MAC filtering off/802.11g/2.4Ghz, channel 6) and they are good
    I'm using WPA/WPA2 with AES encryption
    All looks fine except when I go to print something I'm told "printer not connected" in the print dialogue. Occasionally if I run the Wireless printer setup wizard from the Printer's homepage it will print but then seems to lose the seetings after a while.
    Have tried restarting all devices to no avail.
    The only thing I can't explain is that when I look at my router's connected devices the printer (and its IP address) is not there, even though I can communicate with it through my computer and its showing as connected on the display.
    Someone please help, this is driving me mad. It should be SO simple but it just isn't.

  • Cannot print over wifi but only via ethernet

    Hello,
    i  have c4780 hp printer, i have installed it on laptop via ethernet. All works fine.
    If i unplugg network cable on laptop and use only wireless to connect on my network, the printer cannot print.
    I have a dlink 2740b wireless router. 
    there are particular setting to insert in router configuration?
    i have try to install on other pc via wifi but result is the same. 
    just i plug the network cable the printer work immedialtly..
    Why?
    Thanks
    Giulio

    I am confused.  Is the printer connected to your router via ethernet or you computer via ethernet?  If to the router, how was it initially connected (wired or wireless) when you set it up?
    What operating system(s) are you using?

  • Airport time capsule won't allow me to print over wifi

    I just bought an airport time capsule 2TB. I set it up and almost everything works great. I have a printer that is not wireless. It's a brother 7065DN.  I was told by an apple employee that if I plug the printer into the airport time capsule it will allow me to print wirelessly from my macbook pro.  However, this does not work.  I'm not that big into technology but if anyone knows how I can fix this please let me know.  It would be nice not to have to plug my laptop in all the time to print a short

    You do it the same way you did when you installed the printer on your Mac. 
    Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule
    Power up the printer
    Click System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Click Print & Fax
    Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
    Hopefully, your printer will appear.... IF......it is compatible with the TIme Capsule
    Click on the name of the printer to highlight it
    Click Add
    Now try to print.  When you open the Print dialog box, it will appear as if you have two printers installed......because you do. One is installed on the Mac. The other is installed on the Time Capsule
    You must choose the correct printer at the Time Capsule to be able to send the print command to the printer at the Time Capsule.

  • Problems printing over the network?

    Hello All,
    I recently purchased a new MAC and I am trying to get my printer configured. I have a Canon IP6600D printer connected to a Linksys Wireless G Print Server. I downloaded the appropriate software from Canon to install my printer, which works when I have it connected via USB. However, when I try to install the printer as a network printer the MAC does not recognize the printer as a valid device. I try to add the printer as a Generic PostScript Printer; however, it still doesn't print at all.
    I've tried enabling AppleTalk on the wireless print server, but still I get nothing. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much!!!

    Hello Phil,
    The Canon driver cannot be used this way. It is designed for USB connection only. To get the iP6600D working for your environment, you need a product like Printfab. Check out their web site (www.printfab.net)

  • Problem with printing over wireless network

    Hello. I have a HP psc 2410 all-in-one printer.
    I've recently bought a modem router which has a capability called"printer-server" and I decided to use this feature and print over wifi. I set it up but with a problem. when I print something, for instance, test page, instead of printing just one page, It will print "test page" in 3 pages( something like partial pages and which the last=third page is printed blankly) and then It freezes(printer screen shows "printing" and I have to cancel the job, otherwise it freezes and I have to replug it). I have this trouble not just in test page but at least from IE, office, PDF files. This problem is essentially about Wifi, since If I connect the printer directly to the PC or laptop via usb, it works absolutely fine. also I have tried printing with different laptops over wifi but no go. below are more information which I have to mention:
    1)Router is on WPA-PSK encryption type.
    2)There is no mac-filtering or hiding SSID going on.
    3)one laptop and an iPad is connected to router via wifi and a PC which is connected by LAN cable.
    4)The printer IP address is the same as Router's settings page IP address.(192.168.0.1)
    5)I can't open the printer's internal web page by entering the printer's IP address in browser since it's the same as router IP address.
    6)Firewall on my laptop( windows 7  32-bit) is off and I'm using no Anti-virus.
    7) I have tried HP PRINT AND SCAN DOCTOR, but it says the printer is OK.
    thanks
    Leland
    EDIT: after investigating for hours, I finally managed to get rid of freezing problem. now there is just one problem of that partial printing which happens coincidentally over wifi! I mean, sometimes it happens and sometimes not!
    any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The bottomline is that this printer has no way of connecting other than a straight USB connection.   In order to make it wireless you have to have a device that will give it an network IP address.  The printer by itself can not do this.
    The only way to get this printer on a network is to buy a SEPERATE USB Printer Server.   Or, buy a separate router, like I said, that has a USB connection on the back that will support printers. 
    You can not connect it the way you want as it stands right now.
    However, call your ISP and have them set it up IF their Gateway device has a USB connection and really can support a printer.  It is their issue.

  • Problems tethering using wifi with Twist laptop and iphone

    Hello,
    I have a Twist and works fine, although I have recently moved to an iphone 6.  The phone and laptop combination has problem tethering over wifi, with tethering enabled on the phone, the laptop does not find the wifi signal.  Asking a colleague to see if my phone is broadcasting an SSID, which it was.  The laptop just doesn't want to find my iphone wifi signal.  However, finding any wifi broadcast from a router, it finds it first time!
    Since it was a new phone, I have been speaking with apple a lot and have even replaced the iphone, although problems still persist.
    I am starting to think it is the lenovo twist laptop.  I have checked the drivers and I have the latest ones which are on the lenovo website because the program used to update the software doesn't ask me to install a new driver, but looking at the wifi driver within the device manager it is dated: 13/08/2012. with driver version #: 6.20.55.55.
    I have the 2x2 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter and is based on the Broadcom chipset.
    Do any of you have this problem?  Also, where can I obtain the very latest driver for this as I would suspect it is likely to be a driver issue or I would like to rule this out first.
    Many thanks.
