Samsung CLX3185FW will not print via WiFi since installing Maverick OS

My MacBook PRO recognises failsto connectto teh printer via WiFi despite I have inserted the correct printer IP address when goiong through the process of adding the printer again. I can connect to this multifunction printer/scanner/fax. I can also access the printer itself via the "Open printer utility" in System Preferences > Printer & Scanners > Options & Supplies > Utility printer utilities and see the cartridges toner level but the printer is in "Sleeping" mode. All attempts to wake the printer up or resume existing jobs in the queue fail.
Not sure what else to try.
Thanks for any help.

I have found the solution to this issue.
I connected the Samsung CLX3185FX directly to the router and switched the router on/off (not sure the latter is strictly required). I did not need to reboot the MacbookPro. This worked. Not only I could print but also, upon disconetting the ethernet cable form the printer, it all worked again wirelessly.
Probably this is has to do with the printer using dynamic IP and the inherent instability of this on the WiFi network. The direct ethernet cable connection printer-to-router fixed it. I waited for the printer to go on stand-by to see if it could be woken up for printing from the MacBook PRO, which was one of the issues I had after installing Maverick OS. It all worked fine.

I can connect the printer directly to my computer via usb and it prints fine but wireless it ill not print.
Funny thing is my wifes macbook running 10.4.11 it prints fine wirelessly.
Any help will be useful. Thanks.

You will get far better performance (and often less installation headaches) by connecting this network printer's ethernet port to one of the Base Station's ethernet LAN ports. Setting up this printer to print from a Mac over a network connection is covered in this printer's manual. The only problem is that you need a PC to run the software which can help you assign this printer's IP address - a necessary first step before you can begin to configure it on the Mac - again, this is covered in the manual. I suggest you use the IP address of 10.0.1.251 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. This may all sound somewhat obtuse to you - any chance you could enlist the help of a computer-savvy friend who also owns a PC?

New Officejet Pro 6830 will not print via USB connection. It scans great to PC. It copies.

New HP Officejet Pro 6830 for user to have local USB printer/scanner at desk. User runs win 7 64 bit on a network. Raninstall through setup.exe. Followed steps, connected printer via USB when it said to and it detected it and finished install.You can use HP Scan software and it scans to the PC perfectly. It will not print from any application or even a testpage from the Printer Properties page. If you go to the maintenance application it will print status and test page. If you run HP Scan and Print doctor it does it's thing, gives all Green Check marks and lets you print a test page fine, but it stillwill not print even a test page from the printer properties page (start/Devices and Pritners/right click on Officejet Pro 6830, select Printer Properties for Officejet Pro 6830 (not the Fax 6830), and click print test page. It does not seethe printer. It is a networked PC and has network defined HP network printers as well but user wanted a printer/scanner at his desk. I actually took the unit and connected to my laptop which is same win 7 64 bit platform and it does the same thing. I disable the virus protection to do the install so that is not an issue. It clearly sees and installs the printer, andlike I said the HP Scan works fine so it is connected via the USB to the PC, but it will not print. I have tried to install from the CD, and removed device and tried to install from the new downloaded drivers as well and it just does not want to print.I have conected to different USB ports, and like I said actually tried it on a different PC and had same results. Guidance certainly would be appreciated.

Hi , I see by your post that you can scan, but are unable to print over the USB connection. I would be happy to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help. If the issue persists, reinstall the printer on the Administrator Account to see if you have the same results.Unlock Hidden Administrator Account and install the printer on this account: Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD. CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'. Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter. Next, close CMD and restart your computer. When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it. If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked.Under the Administrator account, install the printer software. Test the printer. To turn off the Admin account start back at step 1 and type in net user administrator /active:no.Please let me know the outcome. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

Will not print black ink after installing new HP cartridge

HP Officejet 4620, Windows 7....installed new HP black ink cartridge and now it will not print black at all. I followed all online tips in the help section, even cleaned the vents on the cartridge itself but only prints blank page. No error messages are shown. Diagnostics ran and says all is working correctly. Also cleaned printheads through 2 cycles still nothing. Any other suggestions? It was working just fine before inserting new black cartridge.
This question was solved.

I just spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with HP Tech Support but it was worth it. They are sending a replacement printer no charge to me (expect I chose to pay extra for next day shipping). Even though my printer is out of warranty!!! I normally buy HP products anyway but will definintely stay with this brand based on their excellent customer service and support. Thank you once again for your initial help online and for directing me on the right path!!!

Pages will not print via network printer

I have purchased and installe Pages and Numbers and neither one will print to my network printer. I have been using my DeskJet 970 on my network without trouble.
I can print from other apps installed on my iPad via this same printer.
In support of printing I have purchased Print-N-Share as well as PrintCentral Pro. I have also install wePrint on my desktop.
When I open Pages and attempt to print I am asked to select a printer. The message that comes up is that no Airprint printers were found. It totally ignores my wePrint server app which connects Print-N-Share and PrintCentral Pro.
I have already requested a reinstatement to my account for $9.99 which Apple has thus far ignored.
Has anyone experience this or found a solution to this problem.

Hi All printers are different. I suggest you contact the printer manufacture. Do you have the installation disc that came with the printer?? Try installing the printer on all computers that do not work?? Also unplug the printer for 20 seconds. Some times I have to unplug my HP to get it to work wireless. It's kind a like rebooting your PC
Dokie!!

My HP8000 ptr will not print via time capsule showing problem as "...short read". I've reset the printing sys on both MacBooks and the iBOOK? Can you help?

I have been using a HP8000 printer via the USB connection on a TimeCapsule using wifi from a MacBook, MacBookPro and an iMAC (ethernet connected to Time Capsule) for a couple years before the printing stopped with a message of ".....short read" The printer still functions when directly connected to a Mac via a USB cable. Help???

Suggest that you work your way through Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see if you can get things going again.
The last item....reset printing system....will often work when all else fails, but try the other steps first.

LaserJet P2055DN - will not print via network

Set up the printer last night as a network printer (replacing an older LJ 2300dn). It would not print a test page. To verify that the printer was good, I loaded the drivers into my laptop and connected via usb. Was able to print a test page via usb. Disconnected usb and reconnected network cable. Released and reset ip address. Verified ip address by pinging from host. When I ping the printer I loose usually half of the packets. There are two other HP printers on the network, a P2015dn and a LJ color 2605dn. Pinging their ip address returns 100% with a ttl=255. Pinging the p2055 produced 4 packets sent, 2 packets received, 2 packets lost, ttl=64 on the 2 returns. I have changed cables to the printer and interchanged ports on the network switch (verified the ports on the network switch by printing to the LJ 2605) with the same result. I cannot get the internal web server to come up, or it partially displays, or combinations of the above. If this had the older style removable print server like in my lj2300, I could swap it out, but it doesn't look like I can do that with this model. When I send a test page to the printer, it displays "printing", the green light on the top is flashing, the activity light on the network card is flashing, but nothing happens. Eventually, I get a "this document failed to print' notification on the host, but the printer still indicates "printing" and the lights are still flashing. Anyone have any ideas? I think I'm looking at a bad network/print server card in the P2055.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I also had problems printing via the network to hp p2055dn. There was no problem printing via USB. All network settings were ok. Can ping, etc...
Many days of wrangling, finally found that the Network Config.Security had to be Reset on the printer's physical control panel.
Press Ok on the printer control panel --> press down arrow, you get to Setup Menu Network Config --> press Ok --> A number of down arrows down you get to Network Config. Security --> press Ok --> you have two options - Keep or Reset --> Choose Reset........ Network printing should be working fine.

Epson xp 202 will not print with wifi

using os 10.7.3. Can ping printer ok but print box indicates printer off line. Prints ok with usb cable but not with wifi
cheers

Fixed.
Thank you Misery. As I am juust starting out with Arch I was unaware of PKGBUILD/makepkg system. You have *greatly* enhanced my Arch experience.
I am, however, still puzzled as to why I got the 'file not found' message from ldd. I checked dependencies with objdump and installed the one (old)libjpeg it wanted, but ldd still refused to run giving me 'file not found'!

Epson stylus pro 3800 will not print via ethernet port

Recently I set up a sling box utilizing my Apple Extreme's singular ethernet port. In order to free up the port for the slingbox I removed the epson printer and directly connected it to my Imac through its ehternet port. I print all my photos from this Mac so i do not need the network accessibility. The Imac does not show the printer at all but does continue to communicate with the wireless usb printer, a Brother. The question i have is how can i get my Mac to recognize the Epson through the ethernet port?

As you probably have noticed this is way out of the range of my apple-knowledge:
Where can I find the coupps-folder?
And how can I reinstall them?
The Printer Setup Repair says:
2 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
I really don't want to reinstall OS X.
By the way, thank you very much for your help.

HP office jet 6600 will not scan via wifi to PC

Hi there,
The scanner is not communicating with the PC (whereas the printing fuction is working as normal), is the device required to be connected by cable for the scanning function to work or how do I get the PC to be recognised?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
