Problems setting up WIFI printing on Mavericks HPDeskjet3050A

I have an HP Deskjet 3050A J611n I can get it to print via USB but wifi is problematic I have had it working a couple of time but wehen I try to reuse it at a later time printer can not be found I am creating my wifi through ethernet to my Time Capsule . I have removed and inserted the printer several times through system prefs the original settings that worked are on my iMac which is currenty been repaired (Graphics issues); so I am using a white macbook I have managed to print off on wifi once I think with this plus do I need to be connected to the HP set up on the wifi all the time to print since this then means I am not connected wirelessly to my normal network? I have been confused by the whole issue is there an easy way to set this up? What information do I need to give it to make it work including airprint? I am so tempted to just run it through the USB port on the time capsule but this is not really how it should function been a wifi printer ! I assume it needs no usb connection to be wirless .
Does anyone have experience with this printer & Mavericks I have my MAC Hardware address my IP Address .I do not know what the network name SSID is or is that simple the name of my network that Time capsule is running?
I have printed off the Printer status report , Wirless Network Test Results what am I missing .
I have tried to seek out the problem in airport utility but I dont think this is it .I have tried adding printers multiple time throus system prefs & HP utility I am chasing my tail here.

Also check whether your wireless router has some security keys like WEP or WPA-PSK, then set that too in your system....

Can i set up wifi printer

Can I set up ip address protected wifi printer to my iphone 4G

There is no such thing as an iphone 4G. There is iphone 4 and iphone 4S.
If the printer is airprint-enabled, your phone will find it. If not, and there isn't an update to make it so, you will have to use an app to print.
If your printer has email address, you can email it whatever you want to print.

Help Setting Up Wifi Printer...

I have gone to my parents house for the weekend and brought my Macbook with me. It seems he upgraded his old Dell printer for the new All-in-one Dell 948 Wifi. I can see the printer on my Network, but I can't seem to add the printer using my Printer Utility, can someone help set-up this printer. BTW I do know the IP Address of the printer and the MAC address, I was told I have to log into the Wifi Network in order to print, or I could do ad-hoc.
Cheers,
Paul

I don't thinl it's Postscript and I don't think there is a Dell Driver for it. Any third party solutions?

Problems setting up wireless printing

I can set up to print from my laptop with a USB connection to the printer. I want to be able to print when away from my desk, so have tried for 2 years, on and off, to get my printer to print wirelessly. I've probably spent 10+ hours trying to get this set up. In the end, I always end up having to reinstall the printer with the same old USB connection.
This is driving me crazy. I'm a tech writer for a software company and am very computer savvy. Yet my non-techie family members have all managed to set up wireless printing at their homes in 5 minutes or less with different brands of printers.
Here are the steps I'm following, though I have also tried numerous variations, such as trying it with my USB cable connected vs. disconnected.
1) Uninstall current (USB) printer installation.
2) On the printer itself, verify that Settings > Network Settings are at the defaults.
3) Using most recent drivers and installation .exe from the HP website, start a new printer installation.
4) When prompted, select "wireless installation."
RESULT: Even though my firewall is OFF, it searches and says there are no printers on the network. (Huh? What network?)
5) Try again, and this time select "network installation."
RESULT: Even though my firewall is OFF, it searches and says it can't detect a network.
If wireless installation requires a network, but network installation does not cause a network to be installed, I'm not sure where to go from here.
6) I've also tried downloading and installing the ePrint utility, but when I get midway through the installation, it tells me it can't find my printer.
I'm suspicious that my model M1212nf MFP may not even allow wireless printing. Some info on the HP website says to check that a particular button lights up to show the printer is online. This light doesn't exist on my printer model. On the other hand, my physical printer's settings has settings like: "display IP address," etc., that would lead me to believe that it can operate wirelessly.
I have read all of the related HP printer help, and there is nothing that explains in simple language what types of cables I need to set up a network and/or wireless connection, when to plug them in, which installations to perform out of the many add-ons available, etc. I am sure this is a 5 minute process if there was just some good explanation in the UP help of how to do it. Assistance would be appreciated!
This question was solved.

Hello @SKYdiz,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you have had issues for the last 2 or so years and spent multiple hours attempting to configure your HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer for wireless printing. At this point I'm going to offer some additional information on this matter. First, are you sitting down?
Unfortunately, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer is NOT a wireless model printer. The 'nf' at the end of the printer name stands for 'network, fax'. Therefore, while your printer is not wirelessly capable of connecting to your router, it CAN connect with an ethernet cable.
All you need to do is connect an ethernet cable from the rear of your printer into your router. Than any devices connected to that same router (either through wireless or wired ethernet connections) would be able to 'see' your printer on the network and print to your printer. For more information regarding the ethernet setup on your printer, please refer to: Setting Up the Printer for a Wired Network in Windows 7 for the HP LaserJet Printers.
Now if an ethernet connection does not work in your specific network configuration, than HP does manufacture other Laserjet models that do use the wireless feature. Here are two Laserjets that are black only, multifunction wireless units that are similar to your current model printer : HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw and HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw.
Please let me know if this clears up any confusion. Should you have any other questions or concerns I will be more than happy to assist you. Happy New Year!

Problem with Cannon i9900 Printer on Mavericks

Printer stops and returns the message, "Filter failed".
The printer was working fine under 10.8 AND under 10.9 ( (mavericks) until I tried to update the Cannon i9900 printer driver!
I've reset the printer system with hope of starting fresh. I've fixed disk permissions (which did find problems and corrected).    I've also tried restoring the Cannon i9900 driver I used in 10.8 from time machine.   I ensure the supplies where full.   I did mutliple restarts.
Nothing works, Cannon jobs stop and return the dreaded " Filter failed" message ....
What is odd, is that I can communicate with the printer and do test sheets, head cleaning, and printer utility functions.    This all runs fine and the printer ink level are good.   Leads me to beleive the printer is fine, but someting in my OS/cups is whacked for the Cannon. My other printer (lexmark 250dn) works fine on 10.9 and I can successfully reinstall it after a printer system reset.
I later dug into the printer update on the apple site (Yes I should have check this first), and subsequently discovered the i9900 wasn't in the supported list.   http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669#canon-inkjet This is why I'm wondering if its a maverick driver problem.   The driver I've currently got installed is version 10.67.1.0, it looks like all supported cannon drivers are now at 10.72.1.0.
Thanks in advance for any help that can restore my printer!
Bon

Problem solved. The Canon i9900 does indeed work again in Marvericks!
Had to remove the new apple drivers and use the older Cannon drivers.    Did the following:
1.) Downloaded the Snow Leopard 10.6 Canon drivers (newest on the Canon website).
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/i_series/i 9900#DriversAndSoftware
2.) Reset my printer system.   This removes most of the files in the /Library/Printers folder; however, there were still hidden files in the folder that had stuff that I think contributed to the driver "confusion". Likely why my earlier resets of the printer system were not successful.
3.) Set FInder so I could see hide files. Opened Terminal and entered:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
4.) Removed the (now unhidden) canon folder from /Library/Printers
5.) Installed new driver obtained in step 1.   In my case this installed the printer in the Printers & Scanner System Pereferences, and my printer was back up and running!
6.) Reset my finder to hide hidden files from Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder

Printing problem with HP LaserJet Printer since Mavericks Installed

Hello,
I'm working on iMac and I have recently installed OSX Mavericks.
I have now printing troubles with my printer HP LaserJet P1102w.
Sometimes it prints, sometimes it doesn't.
When it doesn't print I often need to suppress the file in the printer task and then print again. And there it works.
I have tried to solve the problem by installing all the HP drivers, and also made a Reset printing system, but it does'nt change anything.
Any Idea ?
Thank you for any help.

Problems setting up e-print on Photosmart 6510

When I purchased the Photosmart 6510 yesterday and set it up as per instructions together with log in and password the printer automatically printed a page headed 'HP preprint mobile printing' Get Started and showed a Printer Code. When I then received an e-mail from HP with instructions to set up the e-print it would not let me enter the site because the password / username was 'incorrect' (which it wasn't). I then tried to log into a new account but this would not let me use the Printer code that the printer had printed.
I am very frustrated at this and would not have purchased this product had I known how much hassle it causes. Will not be buying another HP product .
However, now struck with this one - has anyone got any ideas how I can sort this. I have seen lots of posts on the net from customers with similar problems.
Yours -

Hi,
You did not change the printer, only change the router and SSID. I ran few tests to change routers and SSID's and NO NEED to change anything from the ePrint setup. You don't need new claim code, logon to your HP Connected account, your printer is still there UNLESS you removed it.

Problem in connecting wifi printer HP 3545

I have a Macbook Air released 2014, with 10.9 OS. I tried to connect HP Wireless printer, HP 3545. The software is installed, the printer can connect through USB, and print once with wifi. After one printing it refuse to connnect to printer.through wifi.
This has been repeated about four times. Today I installed again after receiving update on the software for the printer. The same happens again.
However, the printer is connecting to the wifi and is able to print through HP laptop.
The printer is enabled for air print, but iphone cannot detect Air pinter, when searched. Iphone can print is it is connected to the direct wireless printing. I feel the issue is mainly on the network with apple product. Non Apple can smothly print through wifi.
Anyone having the same issue or any solve this issue, please help.

iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Problems setting up WiFi in Linux Mint 6

Hey Guys,
I'm running a 32bit version of Linux Mint 6 on my T60. I need a hand setting up my wireless connection. It boggles my mind, I am able to see the wireless network in my 'available networks' option. I am just not able to connect to it. Anyone else have this problem. I know my Atheros wireless device has caused problems for others...
Thanks

Problems scanning with HP printer and Mavericks

I recently installed the GM version of Mavericks and tried to scan some stuff and it came up with this error "An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only." I tried repairing permissions and reinstalling the scanner software, but to no avail.....I'm not certain if it is because of Mavericks or something unrelated to that...any suggestions?

Hi burdell1,
As I am sure you know, OS X Mavericks has not yet been released by Apple. Gold Master is only a version of the Mavericks and was released to developers but not yet to the public. The HP software you are using is not compatible with the OS X 10.9, it was designed for the 10.8. This is likely why you are experiencing the issues you are having.
Maybe try scanning with he system preferences rather then the HP Scan software. How to Scan without HP Software.
Method one: Scan from Apple Preview
Method two: Scan from Apple Image Capture
Method three: Scan from Print & Scan
With any luck on of the above options will enable you to start scanning again. Hope the information I have provided is helpful!

Problems setting up WiFi account

I have just had a new broadband service activated and I am trying to set up the 'out and about' wifi and activate my router accordingly, but sadly cannot get past the first step.
On the very first page it asks me to log in using my email and password. My BT account is set up with my yahoo email address (NOT a BT one) but if I try logging in to the set up using that, it tells me it has to be a BT email address. So, I have activated a BT email address and have tried to log in with that, but it tells me my username is an invalid email address. The email address is valid, because I have logged into BT Yahoo and have received and sent email using that email address, yet it still tells me:
Username is an invalid e-mail address.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should have received a btinternet email address when you signed up to bt and need this to sign in to the btwifi connection. If you were only activated today it can take a few days for your address to become active

Problems setting up wifi with my chromebook

I have just started setting my HP LaserJet 100 colour MFP M175nw printer up with my chromebook and can not get the wireless conection set up at all. All information I find is for all other types e.g window 7, Mac etc. but nothing for a chromebook. PLEASE can you help me as I am unable to work untill I can sort it out.
Many Thank
SilverRoseJewls

Hi SilverRoseJewls,
Thank you for joining the HP Support community. I understand that you would like to setup your Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw printer to be able to use it with your Chromebook.
Chromebooks don't use full feature drivers due to its design. Please use the printer's wireless direct feature so you can connect to the printer from your Chromebook. Once you have connected to the printer's wireless direct network you can follow the steps in Jon-W's post to connect the printer to your home wireless network.
Once the printer is setup wirelessly you can then setup Google Cloud print so you are able to print from your Chromebook. I have included a document on how to set this up.

Problem setting up shared printer between PC and Mac with 10.6

I am trying to setup a shared printer between my Mac and PC. I have a HP K80 attached to my PC (which has Vista Home Premium). I have a Macbook pro with 10.6. I have shared the printer on the PC side. From the Mac I have added the printer via Windows Printer sharing, but for some reason I cannot print to the printer. Everytime I try to print, the job just pauses. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks I installed the gutenprint drivers and tried this, and now all working:
http://guides.macrumors.com/Printingto_a_Shared_PCPrinter
Printing to a Shared PC Printer
This article describes how to print from Mac OS X to a shared printer connected to a Windows XP machine. It assumes the computers are already networked and that you can access the PC's files. These instructions are relevant for Mac OS X 10.2 upwards. The instructions may work with Vista. I don't have the means to try it.
1. Find the IP address of your PC - go on Start > Run. Type in cmd and click run. Now type in ipconfig /all and hit enter. This should give you the machine's IP address.
2. Share the printer. Open up Printers and find the one you want to share. Right-click and choose Share. Now click the 'Share this printer' radio button. Now choose a sharing name. Keep it simple - e.g. HP, Office, PC etc.
3. Open a web browser on your Mac and type localhost:631 in the address bar
4. You should now have the Common UNIX Printing System web interface up. Click the 'Add Printer' link.
5. Type a name for the printer, making sure you don't include /, # or space characters. Click continue.
6. Select Windows Printer via SAMBA from the Device list and click continue.
7. For the URI, you need to include a username and password for an account on your PC. You then need to enter a URI in the following format: smb://username:password@ipaddress/printer. So for example smb://johndoe:[email protected]/HP
8. Choose your printer's make, or if you have a PPD file for the printer, choose that. Click continue and choose your printer's model. Now click Add Printer.
9. Done! You now have a list of options for changing the various properties of the printer.
You don't need to be on the same workgroup or domain as your PC, just the same subnet. If both your Mac and PC are connected to the same router, either wired or wirelessly, then you should be on the same subnet.
Thanks guys

Problem setting up printing in KDE [resolved]

Hi, I'm having a problem setting up my printer in KDE.... everything goes fine right to the end of the KDE "Add printer" wizard, at which point it asks for authorisation... this fails no matter what user/password I use, and even fails with root!
I added myself as an authorised user earlier in the wizard.
EDIT:
Looks like my user name is not authorised to access CUPS, how do I fix this please?
cheers, Renners

is this problem only in kde, or are you also not able to setup printing using the web-interface: http://localhost:631 ?
