Putting my HP laserjet 2420 on my network

I have a HP Laserjet 2420 I would like to put into my network and print from my laptop computer. I plugged the ethernet cable into the back of the printer and the other end of the ethernet cable into my wireless network router and I am not able to print from my laptop. Any idea?

  • HP LaserJet 2420 windows 7 install

    Hi,
    I have been attempting to setup a HP LaserJet 2420 that is connected to a Windows Server 2003 domain controller on a couple new Windows 7 64bit machines.
    This printer connects to XP and Vista machines without issue, but it will not install a Windows 7 driver. When I find the printer in the directory (add a network printer) I cannot install a driver through windows updates, as well I download all the available drivers from the HP website (when I navigate to the download folder it says no compatible driver found). I have tried the 32/64bit drivers.
    I opened a service ticket with hp, 4683371, on friday but received no reply. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

  • HP LaserJet 2420 'Print on both sides (manually)' is missing from the current Windows 7 PCL6

    Dear Support,
    I have a HP LaserJet 2420 printer connected to my home network and I would like to use it from my desktop PC (connected with cable to the network) and from my notebook (connected with wifi to the network). I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (EN) on both of them and I installed the current Win7 PCL6 (v5.7.0) driver downloaded from the official HP site.
    I would like to print on both sides, but the 'print on both sides (manually)' option is missing from the 'Finishing' tab of the Printing preferences option.
    If I turn to 'Installed' the 'Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing)' under the 'Device Settings' tab of the Printer properties it doesn't work because this printer doesn't support the automatic print on both sides. 
    I don't want it work automatic only manual, but it is still missing. I have never experience it with much simple printer.
    Please help to solve the problem! Thank you!
    And what is the difference between the PCL5 and PCL6 and PostScript drivers?
    Kind regards,
    Szilárd Kurunczi

  • How to create HP LaserJet 2420 printer queue on Solaris 10

    Hi Solaris Gurus,
    I am having difficulty creating a printer queue for HP LaserJet 2420 on Solaris 10 (11/9) Sparc (Sun Fire T5220) server. A popular method used is with hppi (HP Jet Direct) tool but it does not have the exact printer driver and alternative printer drivers (e.g. HP LaserJet 4 / 4M, HP LaserJet 2000 series) resulted in only part of the text occupying the wrong side of an A5 page.
    An alternative approach that has worked in the past for simple default paper tray 2 (single paper tray), with tray 1 reserved for manual feed. This method involves creating a working printer queue on a Windows workstation (XP) / server (2000) with the correct driver and having configured to support Unix printing to receive LPR request from Unix systems in general. A remote printer queue would then be defined on Solaris 10 system which points to the Windows system. However, the printing jobs kept going to tray 1 (top manual feed) even though the Windows printer queue was configured to go to tray 3 (bottom tray).
    The earlier method would be simplest but needs the right driver (PDD) but I don’t know where to find it. The latter approach is also not working despite having got the right driver on Windows. A test page on the target Windows printer queue would print to tray 3 (bottom tray) of the printer correctly.
    Printmgr does not work well with HP printers from experience. It is good for serial and local printers.
    Your advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Crystal

    Hi Giogio, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I am sorry to be the bearer of this news, but do the age of the printer, it is not supported by Mac OS X 10.9. I am including a list below of the supported printers from Apple:
    OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download.
    For more information, I would recommend contacting the Apple Support Communities.

  • HP Laserjet 2420 sees jammed papers, but they are not.

    I have a HP Laserjet 2420 printer, I use it with a LAN for work reasons. All the computers using this printer are Apple computer with different version of MacOS X (from 10.3 to 10.6). The printer started stopping randomly and quite often as like as sheets of paper are jammed, but they are not; clicking on the "v" button on the printer is enough to resume work. The printer is apparently fine, so I do not know how to solve the problem.
    Thanks

  • I am trying to restrict color printing on my laserjet 4700dn for my network

    Here is my issue.  I am trying to restrict color printing on my Laserjet 4700dn for my network.  I have configured it for "color if Allowed" and all works perfectly.  I was then going to allow certain users to print in color so I started by configuring my username and allow color.  Every time I print it is still in black and white.  I then decided to look at the color usage log and what I found would explain why.  The color usage log only shows the username of one user on my network.  All other jobs just show the date and number of pages.  So my issue is why can my printer not see all the other users and how do I configure it to do so.  Also why would only that one user show in the log.  It also does not show any applications but it does for that one user.  Is there something else that needs to be installed on the computers for it work?

  • Will not print to HP LaserJet 2420

    Pages will not print to my HP LaserJet 2420 since I upgraded to Yosemite.  I attempted saving as a PDF and a docx document.  Still would not print and I suspect there is some corruption going on that gets passed on the PDF and docx formats.  Pages will print to a wireless printer upstairs.  And that makes me think it is in the Apple developed driver that updated my HP LaserJet when I upgraded.  I do not have the same problem with Numbers, just Pages.  Hopefully Apple will provide an update for the printer driver.
    Thanks.

    It was actually just a commonly used font that had gone bad somehow. Problems like that are always fonts or links. Sometimes they just aren't as obvious. We thought we'd checked everything and it affected so many of her files because she used the font so often.

  • Hi um i have the ipod 5 and my computer seems to be fine with the wifi but when i pressed wifi and my wifi does not pop up it i put it on airplane mode reset the  networks erased my safari history . and it still has not read my wireless internet ?

    If not:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then:
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Canon ir 2420 ufrii LT network printer show only processing but print not receive

    My Canon ir 2420 ufrii LT network printer show only processing but print not receive,i have check its ip and network all is fine i also relode this software but result is same , show only processing print not recieve ,please if you have any trick please share ,  Thaks for you support  

    I can't find that printer on the canon eu support website (canon uses model numbers on that site, not series designations) , and canon printers are not easy to get to work well on archlinux.
    However there are 2 aur packages that provide the UFRII driver :
    - cndrvcups-lb (built from source)
    - cndrvcups-lb-bin (uses the binaries)

  • Connecting HP Laserjet P1102W to wireless network (then getting drivers!)

    Hi,
    My macbook pro and HP LASERJET P1102W seemed to be communicating just fine when I had snow leapard.  Post update to Mountain Lion, problems.
    I have gotten the printer to work when connected via USB, however not consistently.  (Often it cannot recognize when paper tray is filled, cannot do two sided printing and has other issues perhaps connected to the fact that software is missing?) 
    I have read the documentation on HP site, noting that the only way to install drivers is via a network connecton and airprint which requires a network connection.
    Not sure this is the right place to ask this, but I will for now:
    How do I connect my printer to my network, which is a new home network as I just changed from DSL to Cable? 
    Note:  I had not previously ever connected my printer to my wireless network and set it up to work with Airprint, though that is one of the reasons I bought it.  
    Once I do connect the printer to my wireless network, perhaps then I can try to follow the steps on the HP site   http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03425022&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=4142&product=4110396&sw_lang=
    If anyone has experience with the above, I would love to hear it!
    Final question:  Is plugging the printer into the back of the new cable modem via ethernet or USB perhaps a way to put it on the wireless network?  Not a convenient location, but if only alternative, I would try it.
    THANKS!

    Dear Happy-to-Help,
    I appreciate you logging in to help. I shall give this a shot in the next couple of days when I have more time and let you know how it goes.
    I have been quite frustrated by the fact that HP says if the HP Laserjet P1102W has worked fine with Snow Leapord and one upgrades to Mountain Lion, all the drivers will be automatically upgraded/updated (or whatever the term).  That has not been the case at all.   It took quite a bit to even get my computer and printer to talk to one another via a USB connection—with none of the functions of the printer (as noted above) working properly to this day.
    I hope your suggestion works.  Will be back in touch to let you know.

  • HP laserjet 5100tn stopped working - networked

    I have a LJ5100tn and for some reason it just quit working.  It is installed in our small network.  I deleted the printer and reinstalled the drivers and I still get nothing.  When I go to add a printer and browse for networked printers the server sees it there but when I go to print a test page I get nothing.  I tried to power cycle the printer and nothing.  I power cycled the server and get nothing.  Any ideas where to go from here?
    thanks

  • HP color laserjet printer on a networked windows xp Machine

    printer, I have an hp color laser jet connected to a computer on my in house wireless network. How do i tel my imac to use it. I just bought this imac and I am new to apple. I would really appreciate any advice I could get to get the mac to print.
    printer: HP color laserjet 1600 (connected to the xp computer)
    Computer: Windows running XP up to date
    Network: Cisco router wireless network

    You will need to turn on Sharing on both computers and specifically printer sharing. I would recommend you contact AppleCare (phone number is in your owners manual) and may be able to help you. Remember they are Apple Techs so there is a good chance they're not trained on MS Windows. I'd recommend Googling something like Printer sharing Windows XP.
    For example I found this link:

  • New HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw network connection impacts DNS server of my ISP

    Hi,
    i am not well with english, so please sorry
    I have deliverd new HP LaserJet Pro M127fw to my client who have 3 PC-s Win7 64bit, one 4 port switch, and one TP-link ISDN modem-router.
    I have installed the printer over network and everything is done well. Printer is working in printing/scanning/fax/ and copy.
    In few hurs local ISP has called and said that his DNS server is impacted by something from local LAN. After investigating, i have fount that printer is doing impact to DNS of ISP. When i remove LAN cable from printer, everything is fine with network
    I have installed new frimware from HP.com. also I have change Admin pass. The new up to date software is installed.
    Still have problem, and no solution. For now printer is working with USB connection, but that is not a option.
    HP please help!

    Hi @ITMračunari ,
    I see that you are having issues with the printer connected by a Ethernet cable to the network, the printer is impacting the DNS of ISP. I would like to help.
    Turn the IPv6 off on the printer to see if that will help.
    Go to Setup, Network Setup, Network Services, IPv6 and turn it off.
    This is a Consumer product and has been proving to work with a direct connection to a router.
    I noticed in your post that you are also using a switch, which could possible cause other conflicts.
    Hope this helps.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn Network Setup on XP

    Got 4 xp and 1 Win 7 machine on a TP link Archer D7.  Trying to install a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn to be shared over the network.  On 1 xp machine (an HP) the install program crashed.  Another the printer is not recognized and can't find any way to manually install drivers for that situation.  The xp machines can't find the printer on the network.  I can't find the default path. 

    Your post is confusing since it does not tell us if the printer is working on any of the machines and also you do not tell us if you just want printing or other functions from each computer.  If you just want printing and you know the ip address of the printer, just use the add printer function on each machine and then the create port and in the drop down choose standard tcp/ip printer and then follow the prompts.  You can download the basic driver from the link below which should work on all the machines when you get to the makers screen and you will just choose have disk and then browse to the location of the downloaded driver.  When you go to the link click on the basic driver tab on the left and then download the 15 meg driver. http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-LaserJet-Pro-MFP-M127-series/5396666/model/5303415#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1
