Problems printing to HP printers using Bonjour and XP

Good afternoon all
I am unable to print from my ThinkPad X61 PC laptop running XP (Service Pack 3) to either of my HP printers (Laserjet 6MP and PhotoSmart C3180) connected to my Airport Extreme via a USB hub. They work fine from my MacBook running Snow Leopard, or when directly connected to my PC.
I am able to install both printers using Bonjour Printer Wizard (and recognize them through Airport Utility). I then print a document, it spools to the print queue, then generates an error saying the document failed to print. I have tried it without the hub with the same result.
I have reinstalled Bonjour and the printer drivers and followed the Printer Troubleshooting Guide procedure to no avail. I have also tried the TCP/IP port creation which did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yours
Sam

Hi Pahu,
Thanks for you reply. Here's some additional information because I'm not quite sure how to resolve the network addressing as you described. The router is set up as a DHCP server, using the standard 192.168.1.1 IP address, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The starting IP address is 192.168.1.100, and I have it set to allow up to 50 connections. (No particular reason, I think that may have been the default.) The printer is set up to check a variety of connection protocols, starting with DHCP. If that fails, it moves to BOOTP, etc. When I print the network configuraton page from the printer, it tells me the IP address is 169.254.18.32, subnet mask 255.255.0.0, default gateway 169.254.18.32, and the IP is configured by AUTOIP.
In the past, when it has been working properly, the printer shows an IP address of 192.168.1.10X, usually .100 or .101, but it depends on which device I've powered up first. This is what I would expect, given that the printer should be communicating with the router and be assigned an IP address by DHCP. What I can't figure out is why the printer reverts to its internal default IP address 169.254.18.32, and why this is inaccessible even if I try to designate the printer as an IP printer and type in the printer's IP address.
Do I need to set the printer to refresh its DHCP lease more often to ensure it doesn't get cut off by the router? How do I make sure the printer stays on the same subnet as the computers if they're all on the same router? Should I assign the printer a static IP address like 192.168.1.100, then set the DHCP range to start at 192.168.1.101? Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm not a network expert and I didn't think this printer would be such a pain to configure.
Cheers,
R

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • Problems with Lion printing to Brother printers via Bonjour

    Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion pre-installed.  It's replacing a G5 tower.  I also have a MBP running Snow Leopard for work.  The non-Lion machines have no problems printing to my Brother MFC-8840DN printer.  I spent several hours trying to get the Mac Mini to print properly though via Bonjour.  I tried installing/uninstalling/reseetting the printer subsystem, etc. numerous times.  I also tried downlolading the drivers direct from Brother and installing those after a printer system reset and a reboot.  No luck.  The printer would just print sheets and sheets of blank or corrupt data (smiley faces and the like).
    So I finally gave up on Bonjour and just tried to add the printer manually via LPR & specifying it's IP address and the correct driver from the pull-down list.  Now it works fine.  So my question is, what happened in Lion to break Bonjour printing but leave LPD printing intact?  Based on the output in Bonjour mode, it almost looks like OSX is somehow picking the wrong driver to use and therefore the printer is choking on nonsense data.

  • HT4356 I checked everything out and had no problem printing from IPAD/MINI using the HP Photosmart 6520 printer, but the next day, using same application, my HP did not show, but was looking for the AirPrint Printer, what am I doing wrong?

    Using IPAD2, IPAD MINi, HP photosmartE6520 set up on wireless network.  No problem printing from my devices, but the following day, it is looking for AirPrint printer, why? 

    Hello lenc48,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having a few issues when it comes to printing from your mac as well as some two sided printing issues.
    I do have a some suggestions that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Please remove the usb cable (if using wireless, disregard this step) from the printer and from the Mac and leave it disconnected until further notice.
    Please click on the first link that will give you instructions on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the software has been removed, please disable any anti virus protection that you may have on the Mac. 
    The next step we are going to take is downloading the HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    The installation will prompt you when to connect the usb cable (You will see a prompt for a wireless connection as well if that is the connection type you would like to use) so please do not connect the cable until prompted to do so.
    If you are still having issues, feel free to write me back or you can contact HP Total care direct.  If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Problems adding my Epson C1100 using Bonjour

    Hi all,
    I have my APE running perfectly and my printers also perfectly running. Last week I had to shut down my network because I am rebuilding my studio. I kept on working on my MAC but deleted my printer.
    Right now I need the printer and I try to add it. Bonjour fond the printer and everything, but when I klik add I get the "beachball". I am waiting now for 8 hrs and stil no printer is added.
    On my Windows machine evrything works just fine!
    So what is the problem?? How do I get my printer working on my MAC?

    I jusr like to add that I am running OS 10.4.4 on a iMac G5 and trying to print to an Epson C1100.
    I can use the printer setup utility to set up and print to this printer just fine when it is direct connected via USB.
    However, when I try to add this same printer via Bonjour hooked up to an airport express, print setup utility sees the printer just fine, indicates that it is connected to my airport, and detects the drivers (the "Print Using" drop down list in the add printer dialog box, after waiting for a period.
    I installed the drivers again, old and new ones. Still nothing. I also downgaded my firmware of APE to 6.1.1, still nothing. Also back to 6.3 doesn't help out.
    The worst is that it worked a fewe weeks ago. When I unplugged my APE for a while and went back to work and tried to add my printer this all happened!
    I'm about to tear my hair out...

  • What current hp printers use 350 and 351 ink cartridges ?

    I have a Photosmart C 4480 all-in-one printer  (2 years old) and am using Windows XP (home version).     My printer has developed problems which do not seem solvable.
    Problem is I have a large stock of ink cartridges 350 and 351 for this printer.   
    Would prefer to find new HP printer which uses 350 and 351 cartridges.    Are there any ?
    Have tried checking HP website but there is no info under 'product spec' what type of cartridges are used.
    There is also added problem in that, looking at e-Bay or Amazon, there is not much info provided about type of cartridge used on any printer for sale.
    In addition I have a horrible feeling that HP may use different model numbers for different countries.     I'm in France and cannot find any French HP printers which appear to use 350 and 351 cartridges.
    Any help to guide me through this muddle would be very much appreciated.
    Regards tifossie

    Hi there, it may be difficult to source a new HP inkjet printer that will take those cartridges as they were released in 2007. Here is a list of models that should accept those cartridge selectability numbers.
    HP Deskjet D4260 Printer (CB641A)
    HP Deskjet D4360 Printer (CB700A)
    HP Officejet J5780 All-in-One Printer (Q8232A)

    HP Photosmart C4280 All-in-One Printer (CC210A)
    HP Photosmart C4385 All-in-One Printer (CC281A)
    HP Photosmart C4480 All-in-One Printer (Q8388A)

    HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One Printer (Q8341A)
    HP Photosmart D5360 Printer (Q8361A)
    You're best chance may be finding one on eBay but satisfy yourself that it is a  new nuit and not a previously used one from antoher part of the world as it may not accept your 350/351 supplies as they are the EMEA regionalised version of these supplies.

  • Windows 7 64 bit ability to print to two printers (same make and model)

    I have several Windows 7 64 bit PC's which just can't seem to print locally using USB to an HP Laserjet 1018 printer.  However, i could get all of the Windows 7 machines to successfully print to the HP 1018 when it was attached to an XP SP3 machine. 
    I now believe, after 8 hours of frustration :-) , that when you have two printers, same manufacturer and same model, windows does not know what to do.  Note that I do not have a seperate unix print server and have not attempted printer pooling.
    So, the first issue I have is that I just can;t print locally to the 1018.  Might this be due to having the same Printer defined more than once with different names?
    WIth the above said, is there any way to define the same model printer so that I may print locally using my USB / printer cable attached to the machine I am using   AND, retain the option to print on the same printer model (different physical printer) when it is attached to the XP machine elsewhere in the house and is shared?
    I'm sure I'm missing obvious steps / facts ... hopefully someone can bring clarity to my issue.  I would think this to be simply but, it's anything but :-(

  • How to print uspto patent images using Safari and Quicktime

    3/18/06
    Do you want to know how to print US patent images using Safari? Read on.
    When you access the "images" link of a specific patent on the www.uspto.gov/ website using Safari, the page you are viewing is only one small upper left tile of a huge patent image that is not sized to the screen. You can scroll and try to read the page but it's almost impossible. Try to print it out and you only print what's on the screen. Bummer.
    The fix:
    Place the cursor on the opened image (it may appear blank), hold down the CONTROL key on you keyboard and click on the image. Two instructions come up. Click on the "Save Image to the Desktop" instruction and a DImg.tiff file will be created on your desktop. Click on the .tiff file and it should open in the Preview program, then simply print out the image. Voila!!!!
    Click the yellow arrow in the left margin to access page 2 of the patent and repeat the previous instructions to create another .tiff file on your destop. Do every page and you'll have the patent available to print out one page at a time.
    You can then rename the files and create a folder for that specific patent so you can access it later without signing onto uspto site.
    It's odd that the ever compatible Apple does not provide seamless compatibility to view and print patent images on the US Patent and Trademark Office's website. Where would they be without protecting their own intellectal property? Let's hope the next version of Quicktime includes the appropriate ITU T.6 or CCITT Group 4 (G4) compression language.
    Even the "throw it out the Windows" operating system is up to speed on this issue for America's hard working inventors.
    Keep on inventing.

    I already convered a frame to an Image object(video format with JPEG and CVID doesn't work) ,
    I can also convert this Image back as a Buffer, It works fine with me .But to use JPEGCodec( provided by com.sun.image.codec.jpeg ) I need to convert an Image to a BufferedImage, I use the following defination:
    BufferedImage   bImage = new BufferedImage(frameImage.getWidth(null), frameImage.getHeigh(null),BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); It seems work, But when I use JPEGImageEncoder to encoder this bImage and save as a jpg file,
    everything is black .
    I also need to cast BufferedImage to an Image: frameImage = (Image) bImage; then I convert frameImage back to Buffer.My video clip still running , but every frame now became black .
    can someone help me? thanks in advance.

    I solved this problem . But I met a new problem.

    you could also try verifying if the jar libraries containing your Document and Paragraph classes are defined in your class path OR if you are using an IDE, did you include that under your LIbraries?

  • Problems printing photographs via Aperture, using Canon MP640

    When printing photographs via Aperture, using my CanonMP640, I am instructed to turn off my color management, but I don’t know how to do this & Canon can’t help me. The color quality is very poor (whites have a blue tinge and reds come out orange)
    Can anyone help or suggest a good quality printer that is compatible with Aperture, and allows me to turn off Color management on the printer.

    I have an Epson R320 and all the Epson's printer driver options are available to me in Aperture. My list is slightly different: Print Settings, Color Management, Page Layout Settings, and Extension Settings with the words separated by spaces and each has a capitalized first letter.
    I'm wondering if Aperture isn't seeing your Epson driver files. You might want to remove the Aperture plist file from your User>Library>Preferences folder and relaunch Aperture.

  • Label printing at Goods Receipt using SMARTFORMS and Zebra software

    Hi Experts,
    Upon designing a functional design for the printing of labels upon goods receipt and a re-print through MB90 I would like to understand the procedure on how the label gets printed. From what I understand the following steps are done:
    A label is designed in the Zebra application tool.
    The file is downloaded from the application and uploaded into SAP
    A SMARTFORM is created in SAP and assifned to a new output type.
    The new output type is assigned to the Zebra Printer.
    Is there any need for an abap program to be written, if so when and what is its purpose?

    Output Type WEE1 uses sap print program  SAPM07DR.
    Can the following data fields be retrieved from this program:
    Material Number (MSEG-MATNR)
    Bin Number (MSEG-LGPLA)
    Material Description (Feed (MAKT-MATNR) Get (MAKT-MAKTX))
    Supplier Name: Feed (MSEG-MBLNR) get (MSEG-EMLIF)
    MSEG-EMLIF=LFA1-LIFNR
    Feed (LFA1-LIFNR) get (LFA1-NAME1)
    Supplier Material Number: Feed (EKPO-EBELN) get (EKPO-IDNLF)
    PO number and Item: Feed (MSEG-MBLNR) get (MSEG-EBELN) and (MSEG-EBELP)
    GRN Date: Feed (MKPF-MBLNR) get (MKPF-BLDAT)

  • Can't print with HP 6980 using Bonjour

    Well I have an HP and it is not working thus far. I can plug it in via USB and it installs the driver and connects just fine.
    However if I connect it to my time capsule via ethernet it does not. I can see it just fine, it shows up as a bonjour printer and picks the right driver and installs it. Anytime I try to print though it just tells me the printer isn't available or is busy and will not print anything. I can't print a test page nothing. Highly annoying.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Message was edited by: Garrett Howe

    I've been having the exact same issue with the same printer. Bonjour printing works fine with a 10.5 machine, but ever since applying the Bonjour and Remote Desktop Updates to my 10.6.2 machine, I can't print to my HP 6980. The 10.6.2 machine sees the printer on the network as a bonjour printer, but will not print anything to it. I've tried disk utility. Re-adding the priter. Re-downloading the drivers. Nothing works. I'm hoping that the soon to be released 10.6.3 update will fix this issue.

  • Problems repairing Main Hard Drive using TechTool and DiskWarrior

    Hello to all,
    I have what appears to at first have been a minor problem, which has blossomed into a major debacle.
    My troubled machine is a "QuickSilver" Dual 880KHz processor G4 with 1.5 GB RAM and OS10.4.3. It started showing problems with browsers not linking to the correct locations, and general slowness of any operation. Upon later power-up, the machine would not boot at all. The problem indicated was at the UNIX level where login was failing for many of the modules (best explanation I can give right now).
    I then put the machine into target mode, and hooked up a laptop (also on OS10.4.3) to see if the main disk was accessible. It did appear on the screen, and allowed me to see all of the files and directories properly.
    Now, at this point I SHOULD have made a copy of the entire disk to the laptop, but did not consider such necessary, as I had been told a backup had been made a week earlier. Likewise, I SHOULD have then considered an archive/install from the OS10.4.0 disks.
    But NOOOOOOO.
    I instead thought I would simply use the TechTool Deluxe disk (that I received from Apple when the laptop was purchased). I booted the desktop from this disk, and per its recommendation, let it perform a repair. It ran for several hours, indicating it was fixing my problem.
    I then tried to reboot the desktop again. This time, all I got was the dark rectangle that says in multiple languages, "You need to restart your computer." After several tries, it did not get any better.
    I then placed the machine back into target mode, so I could see what, if anything might have changed. Now, even though the desktop displays the firewire symbol, the laptop will not mount it. When I ran Apple Disk Utility, and try to perform a Verify, I get "Invalid B-tree node size. The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired." OUCH. Whatever I did, made it all much worse!
    At this point I also was informed the backup of the drive could not be used (for reasons I won't get into). I could have screamed, as before I could have copied the contents to the laptop. Now, such may no longer be possible!
    I then went a purchased DiskWarrier V3.0.2. I updated it to version 3.0.3 (per the instructions on the website). I then went and rebooted the wounded desktop from the V3.0.3 disk, and then tried to run a repair. I got this response;
    "The directory of the disk "Macintosh HD" cannot be rebuilt. The disk was not modified. The original directory is too severely damaged. It appears another disk utility has erased critical directory information. (3004, 2176)."
    (Micromat, take note of the above!)
    At this point, I decided doing what might be intuitively obvious (such as an archive/install from the OS10.4.0 disks) should not be attempted until I GET SOME REAL HELP. Ergo, this posting.
    Anybody got any recommendations?
    Dual 800Khz G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   1.5 GB RAM
    Dual 800Khz G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   1.5 GB RAM

    And what happens if you run a Repair instead of just
    Verify? The latest version of Disk Utility, included
    with 10.4.3 on your laptop, is your best defense for
    these problems before using third party tools!
    Believe me, I understand your point.
    Please keep in mind I thought a utility provided by the Apple Protection Plan was a smart thing to use. (And it was purchased after Tiger was released.)
    I later learned that DiskWarrior is supposed to be superior that anything else. Ergo, I went to the store to purchase a copy.
    DiskWarrior checked to see what version of the OS was installed, and told me to perform an update (since it saw something the developers were not familiar with at final release). This kind of check is very responsible, and should be in all such software!
    I do not think I made that bad of an ignorant decision.

  • Problem when "Checking for Mail" using IMAP and POP

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3G running 2.0.1 and created 3 mail accounts (1 Gmail using IMAP, and 2 using POP).
    When I first set up the phone 2 days ago the installer copied the settings from my Mac and emails on my iPhone showed up correctly.
    Since yesterday something is screwed up because when I try to fetch new email I only see "Checking for Mail" at the bottom of the screen but nothing happens and new emails don't show up.
    Any idea how to fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    FYI you don't actually have to completely reboot the phone. From inside your email program, push and hold the HOME button for 7 or 8 seconds until it exits email and dumps you back at your home screen. That causes a hard-quit of the email program and will reset it. You should begin getting email again immediately after.
    Here's hoping Apple fixes that anomaly on their next release...
