Replacement Printer for HP 2100TN

I have an obsolete (according to HP) networked printer which has ceased to function. No one can tell me why it has stopped. It was designed to work with OS9, and I am now using OS10.4.8, and HP will not support it, or even answer questions. I get the following error message:
"Unable to connect (retry in 30 seconds). Cannot allocate memory."
Siince I cannot figure out why it won't work, and need a printer, I would like to replace it. Can anyone recommend a home network printer as a replacement? Color is not necessary, but do wish to stay with a Laser printer.

NEED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PRINTER FOR MY HP A6057C

I HAVE A HP PAV A6057C-B CAME AS A BUNDLE FROM COSTCO NEED TO REPLACE PRINTER THAT CAME WITH IT WINDOWS 32 BIT.

I was going to recommend Brother becasue they held OS9 support longer than just about anyone, but their current printers are now supported back to Mac OS10.3 to 10.4, depending on printer model.
If you can do with a b/w laser, the recently discontinued HL5250DN is very nice and OS9 drivers are still up on Brother support site (just checked). We have that model networked at home and its happily serving five Macs plus any visitors who bring their own computer.
This printer has been absolutely reliable and trouble-free. It has both USB and ethernet connectivity (I prefer the latter), does duplex (two-sided) printing, and 1200 dpi res. If you Google the model HL5250DN, you should turn up some of the model still in stock someplace.
If you need color, I'm at a loss for a recommendation there.

Replacement Model for the discontinued HP Photosmart C4783 All-in-One Printer

Hello,
Can anyone tell if there is a very similar replacement model for the C4783? I need the same forn factor.

I am not sure you can find replacement models for this printer but I will do my best to find out. The entire product line for Photosmart C4600 and C4700 are the last models to use that same printer shape and size. I checked for compatible printers that used that kind of ink and none even looked like the same kind of printer. The next generation was the Photosmart D110 which would have been the possible upgraded version of this printer but it is hard to say if it is going to have the same "forn factor."
Are you referring to the form factor as the chassis or as an electrical component? I found your exact model of printer at the HP Parts Store listed as a replacement model (product #: Q8380B) suggesting to contact one of these available resellers. I hope this answers your questions. If not, define forn factor and hopefully I can help you more.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

What can I do and disable for my previous cartridges with protection in a new replacement printer?

Hi, my previous printer 7610 wasn't in working and I had called the customers service to request a replacement and I just get my replacement printer 7612 yesterday . I would like to using back my previous cartridges whch still have 3/4 , what can I do right now to solve the previous protection for the cartridges? It's still new, somemore there are 4 slots with a rarely use. Should I call the customer service again to get a replacement for these?

Once the cartridges have been marked as "protected" they cannot be used in another printer. I do not think there is any way to disable this once the cartridges have been marked. I suggest you call HP and see if they can offer a replacement cartridge.

Apple's Replacement Program for Macbook Air mid-2012

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know more about apple's replacement program for Macbook Air mid-2012. I updated the said firmware and then my mac air stops working. However, according to the program, they are replacing it free of charge. I just went to an authorized service provider here in the Philippines and I just want to know if I will be paying any. I can't find good discussions in Google. Thanks.

You should not, as the replacement program is worldwide. In case the reseller refuses to repair your Mac for free, print this website and take it with you

Replacement Program for Acrobat Pro 7

I have twice downloaded the replacement program for Acrobat Pro 7 but get an error message when I try to install it. The message asks me to verify that I have access to the directory. The only options are abort/retry/ignore, none of which allows me to proceed past a partial installation. Any suggestions?

You still need to log in as an administrator to install the software, unless there have been changes in Acrobat that I am not aware of. At one point, it had to be the actual Administrator account, not one with admin priv. I think that went away after that one version, but you should still have admin priv.
If you are trying to install AA7 (the one that allows separate activation process), you may still not be able to install it, particularly if you are talking about a 64-bit system. If it is 64-bits, then I have my doubts that AA7 will install at all, but you can try. If you succeed, with the installation, you will probably need to work on some workarounds to get things to operate. You may not get the Adobe PDF printer for instance. There are several things that you might be able to do for fixes in a sense on Win7, 32-bit. I have my doubts that they work on WIn7, 64-bit (I have not tried).
If you are indeed trying to install AA XI, then you can ignore my comments. Maybe I need to try on one of my 64-bit systems at work to see what I can get away with.

Best Printer for Two-Sided Printing?

Hi all,
I do a lot of printing of very long documents (up to 300 pages each) - right now I have an Epson CX4800 Inkjet which works very well, but I fear I am running it into the ground. Also, I am going through tons of paper and ink. I'd like to get an inexpensive laser printer (under $300) that can do duplex (two-sided) printing so that I can use less paper when printing out early drafts of projects. I don't want to have to manually flip the pages over and put them back through the printer because I am a ditz and a klutz and always wind up getting the pages in the wrong order when I do this - thus wasting even more paper. I just want a printer that can do automatic two-sided printing for under $300. Am I delusional?
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

No matter what printer you are going for (please specify if you are looking for a colour or mono laser), the biggest expense you would encounter are consumables: toner, drums, transport belts, fuser unit. The reason you should do that first is that consumers are lured into buying a cheap printer and by the time of the first toner change they have to spend as much money as they did on a printer.
What you have to do first is look around for a printer that has lowest cost for consumables (i.e. lowest cost per page print). The easiest thing to do would be take a supplier of consumables, and write down all the prices for the toner for specific models of printers, then divide them by the number of pages you can print from that toner - in this case you will get a breakdown for each colour: say, a replacement toner costs £50 and yields 4500 prints (with standard 5% page coverage) = 1p per page for that colour. Then compare this costs against the costs of your other candidates and you got yourself the most cost-efficient printer.
Besides that though, you might hav e to spend money on things like drum (lasts for about 25000-40000 pages in SOHO printers) and transfer belt (again, 25000-40000) - but that all depends on a printer, as sometimes toner and drum are separated, so you have to get both, sometimes they are in one set, which cuts your costs.
In my case, I've got a Xerox Phaser 6120, and although it might not be suited for you, it's OK for me as duplex unit can be added on, and I don't do this many prints. In your case my biggest concern would be, as I have said, the prices for consumables.

What is the best wireless printer for new iMac w/Lion?

I just bought an iMac (Lion) and now, I need to buy a new printer since my old one is not wireless capable (HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One). My old G4 is still up and running (using it only for Adobe CS2 until can afford that upgrade) and the printer works fine. However, the iMac will not be in the same place as the G4, so I need a wireless printer.
I would also like the new printer to play nice with a PC laptop (husband's for work) as well as be able to eventually print from an iTouch and iPad.
I may be asking a lot, I know.
I would buy AirPort if I knew it worked with my current printer, which would be great... but from what I've been able to research, that isn't possible with this model. I will eventually end up buying AirPort at some point in the future, but right now a printer is my focus and I would prefer not to buy both right now.
So my question is...what printer would be best for both a Mac and PC without having to buy AirPort also?
Thanks in advance!

Whatever you do - do not by the HP8500. I am about to take a baseball bat to mine and bett the living daylights out of it. I used to have a 6500, reasonably god but slow and woudl not scan when linked to the mac...so I 'upgraded'.
Initially it worked well, quality is good and did everything well ....it still will not scan with the mac but will with every other lap top/PC in my house..but hat did not bother me too much. It is fast and quality is good...UNTIL
- It drinks ink faster than than you can imagine
- you cannot buy non hp replacement cartridges easily and not from Staples of PC World etc
- It sense that ink is running down so keeps sending annoying messages
- if you use a non std cartridge it registers it as empty and send more annoying messages
- the cartridges cost about £50 to replace al four - you can buy a new kodak all in one printer for £55
- it will print perfectly well with non HP or HP remanu cartridges, but still sends the dumb messages
- when using HP catridges it keeps telling you to replace them even though they are not empty and theres plenety of ink (marketing scam)
- This morning, the printer decided that the new (non HP magenta cartridge) that put in yesterday and was quite happy with ...is now empty...it refuse to print even black until i replace that cartridge.
I have no problem buying HP catridges if the price is fine - but the combination of a software blip plus high prices make me seethe. I will destroy this piece of junk and buy myself a Kodak or Brother - but never ever again an HP product - having spent over £3000 on PC/Laptops and printers from these bozos over the last two years they can count me out from next years forecasts

Reliable, Affordable Printer for Macbook Pro w/ Retina??

I apologize ahead of time if this is being posted in the wrong place, but i'm looking for advice on getting a good printer for my Macbook Pro w/ Retina. I currently have an old Dell 1320c and although it setup fine and prints correctly the toner is now printing in gray and the lack of proper driver support makes troubleshooting the printer very difficult. In light of my recent printer troubles I decided to come here for some printer suggestions. As far as price range, I would like to spend no more than $150 for a new printer but if jumping up to $200 or something close greatly improves the quality, i'm open to more suggestions. This printer would only be used by myself at home and strictly for school assignments like word documents, powerpoints w/ pictures, etc. nothing too intense. I would not be printing actual photos and I don't think I need the speed of a laser printer to be honest. I would like a printer with GOOD support, meaning I can easily replace cartridges and not have to worry about replacing my printer for at least 2 years. Dell cartridges were pretty expensive and a lot of people had the same gray output problem that I experienced before the printer even reached 1000 prints. Regardless, this baby lasted me a good 4-5 years before giving me real trouble so I'm hoping a decent printer won't be hard to find.
My main concern is compatibility! I want a printer that is fully compatible with my macbook pro and allows me to utilize their menu services, easily access printer menus, check ink, etc. After that I just want something reliable and consistent with good product support. I will be using the printer every week during school to print notes and assignments, but not photographs and no need for a scanner. I'm not sure what other information to include but I hope I covered enough to give you guys an idea of what im looking for. Ive had trouble with DELL products in general so maybe just a different brand suggestion would be helpful but thanks ahead of time!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I don't mind wireless vs. usb as long as theres not much price difference. Also it might be worth noting that the macbook I have has no CD drive so I would want a printer that I can set up without a CD drive, thanks!

I don't have a specific recommendation, but if at all possible you should choose an AirPrint-enabled printer from the (possibly incomplete) list in the linked support article. It will need no software or configuration, and will work with iOS devices.

HP P1505 laserjet print delays printing for 10 minutes or so - why?

I have a p1505 B&W laserjet on a usb connection on a WinXP printer in my lab - my Vista computer is connected through a hub - to the printer host. Printer sharing is enabled. This P1505 replaced an old 1200 because there were no Vista drievrs from the 1200. What happens now is that I 'print' a file on my computer - 2 print files appear in the monitor box on my computer and the host computer - then nothing happens. The files don't print for 10 minutes then after this long delay the file prints. If I access the P1505 over the network from another XP or 2000 computer - the printer prints instantly. it seems to be a VISTA problem - I have up to date drivers on both computers and have reinstalled (too oftern).
What would make the file simply sit in the printer's job queue?
A priority (1-99) has appreaded in the P1505 driver - we tried setting this to 99 - but if there are no other print jobs why would the priority make any difference? In any case the Vista jobs get 1 as the priority whatever we do.
I can print to a network printer - 3600n - with printing starting the moment I send the file. No waiting.

I have a new p1505n on a workgroup network with 5 other computers, all running WindowsXP Pro. As I installed the drivers on each computer, each started to fail when I try to print. The files show in the print que, but nothing prints. Even other HP printers on the same network fail to print after I install the p1505 drivers. Anything in the print que prints upon startup when I reboot a computer, but nothing else that I've tried flushes the print que. Sometimes a particular computer will work properly for 1 or 2 new print jobs after rebooting, but then stops printing.
In my experience, I've never seen an instance where HP has fixed a bad driver after a product is release. They make great efforts to get there 'Order Supplies' shortcuts everywhere, but otherwise no followup support. I'm going to look for a solution for a few days, but I'm about to give up on HP. I just installed a different HP model at another company, and it occassionally experiences a similar problem.

Printer for DVD's

My Epson R200 just went bonkers and is printing my DVD's off-center. I tried to adjust the location with the dialog box they provide but to no avail.
I'm looking for a replacement... anybody have a suggestion for a reasonably priced inkjet printer for DVD's?

I am guessing the 220 for you behaved like my 200, jams, tray going back and forth "seeking" the proper positioning and having sometimes to reload the thing a dozen times, drivers acting really weird (most of the time had to take stuff over to an iBook to print in OS 9) and the rest.
And so far the 340 has been night and day compared to the 200, an absolute pleasure. Only have had it a couple of weeks (went out and bought it when I could not deal with the 200 anymore) but it works like a charm (touch wood). Almost picked up the 300, but decided on the 340.
Not much difference on price, and some of the extra features such as printing from card not a big deal, but it seemed more solid somehow. The tray does not get kicked out the back either, seems more supported.
The LCD monitor is a nice plus, shows ink levels and other info right there so you get a nice overview of what is happening with the printer. Was about $120 at Staples. Will be using it some more over the next few days and let you know how it behaves if you like. So far it does what I want, printing on proofer DVDs quickly and easily so I do not have to use the perma ink markers (which I resorted to when the R200 just drove me nuts.) Have not done much printing yet of images/art on the DVDs, may run some later to see how it does, though a quick look seems to have the prints in the same ballpark as the 200, not the same as replicated on disc printing, but more than adequate for the most part.
Last thing is I have it hooked up to the DP 2 Ghz Single Core, running OS 10.4.5.

Printer for G3 OS 10.1.4

I have an old G3 with OS 10.1.4 which my son is using. What is a good black and white printer for this model? Where can I find it?

The first printer for the Macintosh was the ImageWriter, later replaced by the ImageWriter II. It is an impact dot-matrix printer. By today's standards it is Loud when printing. The ribbons are cheap, and they tend to fade away rather than quit suddenly. The print quality is not up to today's expectations for business communication. The printers are indestructible. There are probably millions of them, and folks have trouble giving them away. There is a LocalTalk option card available that turns it into a Network printer. Under Mac OS X, Open Source drivers are available for both direct-connect and LocalTalk versions . [The beige G3 is almost the last Mac that can support it as a direct-connect, since it requires a serial port.]
When the LaserWriters first came out, they cost about the price of 1 to 2 entire Mac computers -- US$5,000 to $10,000. To justify that cost, it was made a Workgroup Printer, and attached anywhere on the Network, not to a single computer. Every computer on the Network could print to it, and the print quality was fabulous. The network of the day was AppleTalk/LocalTalk. Later models can be connected directly to Ethernet, and there are converters available for a reasonable price to connect an older model to Ethernet via a converter.
Our household has had multiple computers for a long time. I am strongly biased toward Network Printers, and I hate any machine that needs regular exercise or will not work (because its ink dried up).
I use a LaserWriter IIg for most work, it is a serious printer, but has a fan and is sometimes shut off to keep it quieter. I use a LaserWriter 4/600 PS for occasional jobs. It has a low-power standby mode that is completely silent, so it is always left on. I have recently acquired an HP Color Laser Printer (Network capable) which also sits in low-power mode most of the time. Laser Printer supplies are more expensive, but tend to last 3,000 pages or more.
I also still have an ImageWriter II (with network card), and I use it every week for printing household checks using Quicken. I have an ImageWriter LQ (with network card) but it is used only occasionally for large-format work and banners.
Most people respond to the "I need a Printer" problem by buying a new US$98 USB inkjet printer capable of connecting to a single computer. If you don't print on it for a while (I am told as little as two weeks) the inks will be partially dry when you go to print and you will have to waste ink just to get it to print in the first place, then print your pages. If the computer it is connected to is not on, that computer must be turned on before you can print from its printer. The ink runs out quickly, is not cheap, and has a tendency to grow stale while being stored.
Personally, I am willing to fiddle with things far longer than a lot of people, and put up with a lot to keep things working. But I have no patience with InkJet printers. It makes me crazy that I might have to replace the cartridge for no better reason than I did not print enough this month.

Anyone ???

I just want HP Smart Print for Windows 7 and IE9. Must I also get BING Bar?

I want to download HP Smart Printing for Windows 7 and IE 9. According to the HP website, I can get this download only by also getting the BING toolbard, which I do NOT want.
How can I just get HP Smart Print?
Thanks.

The terse version of the answer would have been "You can't.". The detailed answer is something like the following: HP Smart Web Printing was an add-in supported on versions of IE6-IE8 and at one time on Firefox 3.5. Some time ago this application was retired and replaced with HP Smart Printing. Smart Web Printing (currently) requires IE6 - IE9 and it also requires the Bing bar. There are third party applications that may meet your requirements, but for HP Smart Printing you will need to install the Bing bar. A Google search may turn up some alternatives.
