Sharing printer with PC using bonjour but can't print in color

I successfully shared my HP Photosmart C3100 printer with windows XP, got the test page printed out...but no color. I tried changing different drivers as other threads recommended (Apple Color LW12/660PS, Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600, Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS, Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS, and even the HP C3100 driver. Still can't get the color print out. I print the test page in color directly from Mac with no problem though. Have anybody experience this problem before? Please help....thank you.

Hi AppleForum, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not too familiar with Windows, but is there not something in the Printer Dialog that selects B&W , Grayscale, or Color?

  • I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8?

    I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8? Any ideas for a fix?

    iOS devices use AirPrint to connect to a supported printer. OS X will use Bonjour to locate and connect to the same printer.
    With the Epson connected to your wireless router, when you open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add, does the Epson appear in a small box with a heading of Nearby Printers?
    If not and a window appears showing Default, Fax, IP and Windows in the toolbar, do you see the Epson with the Default view selected?

  • 5510 - prints via USB and wirelessly but can't print emails from ePrint on iphone

    Just installed new Photosmart 5510. Prints fine via USB (main computer) and wirelessly (laptop) but I can't print anything from ePrint app on iPhone. HP ePrint Home & Biz works from iPhone but it doesn't have email printing function!

    Hi Andy760,
    From your iPhone, printing email would be from Apple Airprint.  With your email open, touch the action button and select Print.  You might have to select the printer, but it should print fine at that point.
    To send email to print by using ePrint, you would forward the email to the printer's ePrint email address.  Have you registered the printer on www.eprintcenter.com?
    I was an HP employee.

  • I can't print with preview??, I can't print with preview??

    Since I changed to Lion no way to print with preview.
    I am usind a Canon Image Runner Advance C2020i
    Anybody knows how can I solve this issue?
    Thanks

    ... delete your current printers and re-add them under Lion. If they do not appear, you will need to run the manufacturer's special configuration program, usually downloaded with the Drivers.

  • HP210a print jobs fail over wireless, but can still print Test Diagnostic page over network

    Help!  I cannot print over the wireless network anymore.  When I try, the print job queues up and I get "Error - Printer" message.  I can print the Test Diagnostic page just fine over the network.  I can also print fine when connecting via USB port.  I have the latest firmware.  Any ideas?

    i was able  to print with my acrobat before, but I can no longer do it.  the error message says "adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"  How do I activate it?

    I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
    I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
    I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
    Thank you so much for your help.

  • After using my macbook for 2 years with same printer,all of a sudden I can't print a page doc even though printer is working and I can print from I/Mail, etc.Anybody had this happen and have a possible answer?

    After using my MacBook Pro and pages for 2 years with the same printer, all of a sudden I can't print a pages doc even though the printer works and I can print from I/Mail, etc. Anyone have a possible answer?

    Often printing problems are a sign of corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages.

  • New Ink Cartridge but can not print out/copy any document.

    I have HP Printer Deskjet 1050. I've just bought 1 x Original HP Ink Cartridge Colour Black No.61 that can be used as well for my HP Deskjet 1050 (because I could't get No.802 Black Cartridge). I have pulled out the empty one and pushed the new one in until I heard snap sound (I've followed as what is in the instruction poster). Before my old Ink was empty, I was able to print either black or colour. Now, after I've got new one pushed in, I couldn't print nothing, even the alignment page doesn't automatically print out after all cartridges are pushed in and cartridge door was closed. My Black Ink warning light is blinking all the time. I can scan to my computer/laptop but can not print it out or make copy from the printer. This printer is not compatible for my laptop with OS Windows 8.1 (64-bit), but I was able to use my printer for printing thru my laptop by using HP AiO Printer Remote. Please help?

    Hi @KroebY,

  • I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5.  Can this be overcome?

    I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5.  I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

    You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

  • Can see, but can't print to network printer in Panther Server

    I'm running Panther Server 10.3.9 in a vLAN with 16 OS 9 clients. They all
    print to 2 Xerox Phaser 6200 and 6250 network printers. I am unable to print
    to either one from a G4 running Server 10.3.9. I have limited desk space so a USB-attached printer, while
    more convenient, is impractical. When I run Classic from the Server, I can print to the Phasers.
    *> that means that OS X is seeing the printers. When you print in Classic, what*
    *> happens is that the Classic drivers (LaserWriter 8) hands off the print jobs*
    *> to the appropriate OS X drivers, which do the actual printing.*
    Although I'm using OS X Server, I don't have Print Services turned on. I never could get the OS 9 clients to print the way I wanted and I didn't want to have a single point of failure for 16 clients if the Fileserver (Panther Server) went down. So they print to the Phaser themselves using, as you said, Laserwriter 8.
    I can connect to administer them both with a browser.
    *> this definitely means that you can see the printers.*
    Yes. Everytime. I can reset them and anything else I want to do administering them with a browser (Safari).
    I have all the drivers I should need (new re-installs), but print jobs stop every time.
    *> Does this mean that the drivers are installed and are visible in Print & Fax?*
    Yes. I have both a 6200 and a 6250. Both drivers are visible.
    Is there a log file or some way I can see why these jobs fail?]
    *> There are logs, some of which are visible in CUPS using the browser.*
    >
    *> What error messages are you getting?*
    What is CUPS? I've heard of it, but don't know what it is or does. I think when I had ServerAdmin running a lot, there were CUPS files that were taking up hard drive space and I had to periodically delete them in Terminal.
    I'm not getting ANY error messages. It's like the print job just evaporates before it gets to the printer. There are never print jobs showing in the list under the Print Queue.
    FWIW, I can see the Phaser 6250 (but not the 6200) under Rendezvous printers.
    I've tried AppleTalk, IP printing, and Rendezvous. I can always see the printer, but can never print.
    AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
    Do you have any pearls of wisdom?
    Thanks

    I was having the same problem, and basically it comes down to Epson not having driver support for networking. The solution, install better drivers!
    Go to: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php and download the latest version of the drivers. Once you've installed them go to Print & Fax in System Preferences, delete the last print setup (the little minus sign), add the new one but importantly from the driver menu select the Gutenprint driver. That should solve the problem, certainly worked for me!

  • I cannot print on my Canon i550 printer with the used Win7 computer I just bought. I downloaded a dr

    I cannot print on my Canon i550 printer with the used Win7 computer I just bought. I downloaded a driver update from Canon that is supposed to fix the incompatibility issue, but it does nothing. Can anyone help? Can't afford a new computer or printer!

    Hi cjvandeveer, The Windows 7 operating system has a mini-driver built-in for the printer. You can plug in the USB cable of printer into the computer and then turn the printer on. If Windows 7 automatically recognizes the printer, it will appear in your DEVICES AND PRINTERS window, and you will be able to print. You will then need to download the Windows 7 printer driver add-on module from our website. The add-on module will give the printer its full capability, but only after the printer is already recognized by Windows 7. First, to see if Windows recognizes your printer, please follow these steps: 1. Plug in the printer's USB cable into the computer and then turn on the printer. 2. Go to your START MENU on the computer and select DEVICES AND PRINTERS. 3. See if your printer is located in the DEVICES AND PRINTERS window. If it is not, we may need to run Windows Update on your computer in order for the printer to be initially recognized. Please follow these steps to install the latest driver for your printer from Windows Update: 1. Turn the printer on and ensure it is connected to the computer with the USB cable. Please note that your computer will also need to be connected to the internet before performing the next step. 2. Click on your START menu button, and in the text box that appears, type in 'WINDOWS UPDATE', then click on START SEARCH. The Windows Update window should open. 3. Click on the 'SEARCH FOR UPDATES' or 'CHECK FOR UPDATES' link. The computer will search for updates and then display the updates it has found relevant to your operating system and devices connected to it. 4. View the CRITICAL UPDATES and OPTIONAL UPDATES that appear; if you see an update for your printer, select that one and then install it. 5. Once the driver is installed, please restart your computer. Once Windows 7 recognizes your printer, you can then install the printer add-on module from our website to give the printer its full functionality.  Hope this helps! This didn't answer your question or issue? Please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

  • HT2250 I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.
