Slow Printing using AirPrint

I have a P1102w, Mac Mini with 10.9 and a Airport Extreme base station. After I set up the printer, the prints came through fast. After about 2 hours, I went to print a Noodles coupon and the print was in the queue for over 15 minutes. I cancelled the print and tried using my iPad. Same thing. I was using black and white, fast draft. 
Why was the printer so slow to print? The green status light was blinking so the print was processing.
Is there anything I can do to speed up printing when this happens?
After the coupon printed, the other print requests came through fast.  

Hi @allsea, 
I see by your post that you are having slow printing issues using the Airprint driver. I can help you with this.
When the printer is connected to a wireless network, low signal quality or interference might be delaying print jobs.
Make sure printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.
Restart the router.
Since the printer is already on the network, just follow these steps to install the printer driver name instead of using the Airprint driver.
Connect the printer by a USB cable temporarily and run the Apple Updates.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name and click the - button to delete that Airprint driver.
Then disconnect the USB cable.
Then click on the + sign and select Add Other Printer or Scanner.
Highlight your printer, under Use: make sure it shows your printer name instead of Airprint. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in)
Then click on the add button.
Test the printer.
I would setup a static ip for the printer. Follow Step six: Assign your HP product a static IP address from the document.
The Printer is Not Found During Wireless Installation. Disregard the title.
Here is a You tube video of the Laserjet P1102w full wireless installation on Maverick, instead of using the Apple Airprint driver. Laserjet P1102w. For future use.
You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
Have to connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer.
Install the printer as a USB device first and then configure the wireless network.
Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and install the Apple Update that automatically loads.
Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.
Apply the settings.
Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer.
(might take a couple of minutes to appear)
Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
Disconnect the USB cable and try and print.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

    I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4.  Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date.  I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems.  What's wrong with the iPhone 4?

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • I just updated to iOS7 and Pages will not print using AirPrint!

    Like the title says, Pages will not print. It's just a Pages issue. I can print using AirPrint when I print things from Safari or photos stored on my iPad. I've tried rebooting my router, "forgetting" my wifi connection and hooking it up again, I've exited Pages completely (so it's not running in the background) numerous times...nothing is working.
    Strangely, Pages finds my printer just fine and goes through the motions of printing. It will tell me the usual "connecting to printer", "preparing printer", "now printing"...but nothing happens with the printer. It's like the connection between Pages and the printer gets lost somewhere. Pages used to print just fine before I updated to iOS 7. Whether that's just a coincidence or not, who knows. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

    I Also have the exact same issue, did you manage to resolve the issue?

  • I can print, using AirPrint, just fine. But how do I change Printer settings using my Ipad, like page orientation and 2 sided printing?

    When printing an email I get the option to select 2 sided printing but not page orientation. When trying to print a picture from my picture library I don't get either option. I am using a HP printer with AirPrint. Thanks, Dave

    Whow what a shame, I thought this iPad was going to be terrific.  Guess I'll get out my trusty Cannon from now on, lots less hassle.
    Thank you for the reply!

  • How do I get my iPhone 4s to print using AirPrint

    I have a HP LaserJet P1102w printer that has the latest firmware and drivers installed, but I cannot get it to print fom my iPhone 4s.  I am probably doing something wrong that is right in fromt of me.  Both Apple and HP say this printer is AirPrint capable.  I have no problem printing from my MAC Pro Tower.
    Any help and/or direction is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Assuming you answer "Wirelessly" to randers4's question above, can your Mac see the printer?  If so, it's on the network.
    Here's an excerpt from your printer's manual in case it helps:
    To connect the product to a computer on a wireless network, follow these steps:
    Open Finder in the dashboard.
    Click Applications, and then double-click System Preferences, and then click Print & Fax.
    Open Print Queue, click Printer Setup, click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
    Click HTMLConfig.
    Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless in the list on the left.
    Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select a network name from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP.
    Type the WEP key and then click Apply.
    Click OK in the confirmation box.
    Close the HTML Config windows and the Print Queue window.
    In the Print & Fax window, choose the USB option (listed with the product model) and then click the minus - button.
    When the window with the list of printers appears, choose the Bonjour option (listed with the product model), and then click Add.

  • Can't use AirPrint on my brother J615 printer?

    H all,
    I can't print using AirPrint on my brother J615. I tried using the brother app but it only prints from photo albums.
    I want to print from my Mail &amp; Safari on iPad &amp; iPhone.
    Thanks.

    Divyan-
    Your best bet may be an iPad App like EuroSmartz' Print n Share.  If you contact them, they should be able to tell you if they support your Brother Printer.  If the App works for both iPad and iPhone, you can use it on both if they sync from the same Apple account.
    An alternative is to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  Print n Share may also be able to do that.  For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator.

  • When using AirPrint is it possible to select double sided printing

    I am trying to use AirPrint to print from the Pages app on iPad Air running IOS 8.1.1. Is it possible to select any of the printer options, such as double-sided printing, when doing this?
    Many thanks

    Once you start to print using AirPrint, a display appears where you select the printer and options. Presumably the HP is your only AirPrint printer (as the Epson is mine). On that same screen, I can select the number of copies, and I also see an on/off slider for "Double Sided".

  • Cannot print from iPad/iPhone 6 using AirPrint for Canon MG5320

    Unable to print from iPhone 6 or iPad 4 using AirPrint. My Canon MG5320 says Printer is Offline, but I can print fine from my Dell laptop and the Printer's Airprint Firmware is up to date. In addition, neither of the other iPads in the house (iPad 2 and iPad 3, respectively) can print to the Printer using AirPrint. What do I do? Please help!

    Hi StevieB2685,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having Airprint issues between your iOS devices and your Canon printer. It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you continue having issues, you may find the following article helpful. In particular, with regard to item 4 under If you're unable to print, you may want to double check the error message "Printer is Offline" in the available printer documentation, especially if the computer that is able to print is connecting via a different method (Wifi, network, or USB, vs. Airprint).

  • Pages will not print to Airprint from Ipad

    I can print using AirPrint when I print things from Safari or photos stored on my iPad or from Numbers or an email attachment, but not from Pages.

    I am certain, it finds the printer in Print Forte, but if I try to print an email I get the "no airprint printer found"

  • My HP printer on the wireless network and I can not get it to print using my iPad

    Any ideas on how to get my wireless printer to print using my iPad?

    Are you using an Airprint-capable printer?  Is it on this list?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If it is, have you updated your firmware.  Most printers that say they can be used with Airprint need to have their firmware upgraded before they can actually print using Airprint.  HP's support pages provide the FW downloads you will need.

  • PC World HP printer offer AirPrint compatible.

    PC world currently have the HP Photosmart B110 printer on offer for £39.99. AirPrint compatible out of the box. I am able to print using AirPrint. Plus scan documents etc using the HP iprint app.

    For printing photo's the big difference is the C310 also has Photo Black ink, which the B110 does not. The other major difference (although not effecting printing) is the size and functionality of the display on the Printer. The B110 has a small 6.1 cm display with buttons around the display while the C310 has a 10.9 cm touchscreen. Other differences include two sided printing on the C310, and a separate photo tray. And while both scanners do operate at 1200 dpi optical, the C310 has a better scanning mechanism in it. Finally, due to the better paper handling mechanism on the C310, it has a higher optimized vertical resolution for printing color photo's (2400 dpi vs 1200 dpi).
    So while the B110 is an incredible value, the C310 does offer quite a bit to justify the difference in price.
    Just trying to help.

  • When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it.

    When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it. Is this an Apple, Epson, or Foreflight Issue? I just purchased the printer so I can return it and get a different model or brand. I spoke to Epson and the suggestions given did not resolve the issue. I have cut the paper down to the size of the plate roughly 5.5x8 and it still try's to print at 8.5x11. I have also requested help through ForeFlights Tech help but have yet to receive an answer.
    Please help!

    It varies based on what you ordered and whether it is in stock or has to be assenbled and shipped from China. Your email conformation should give an estimate of when the items are expected to be shipped or available for pick up if you are having it sent to a local Apple Store.

  • How do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint?

    how do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint? The iPad does not see the printer.

    Hi RiverBirch,
    What brand and model is your router?
    First, connect your printer to your router.
    1. From printer front panel, press Wireless>Wireless Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the onscreen instructions to successfully connect your printer with an IP address.
    Secondly, connect your iPad to the same router.
    1. Connect your iPad to the Internet and download the free HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the apps store.
    2. Connect your iPad to the same network as the printer. Settings>Network.
    3. Use the new HP Home & Biz app to print and scan photos or docs from your iPad!
    Alternatively, you can also perform Airprint on the iPad thru the wireless network from the Photos menu in your iPad.
    Please click the blue Kudos star in the post that helped you.

  • Can you use AirPrint to print to hard wired printer via your WiFi network?

    Recently I bought an Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One to serve all my PCs in the house and to use the AirPrint functionality for all the iPhones & iPads.
    The printer is located in the basement office where there is poor wireless reception, and therefore connected with a wire (ethernet) to a wireless router one level up on the ground floor. The wireless router covers & connects everything (PCs, iPhones & iPads) in rest of the house.
    I do not seem to be able to set up AirPrint when the printer is connected through the ethernet to the local network. Only when I unplug the ethernet cable and connect the printer wirelessly (with poor reception) to the  wireless network, I get AirPrint to work ...... As soon as I plug in the Ethernet cable the WiFi of the printer shuts off and AirPrint does not function anymore.
    Is there anyway for me to keep the printer "ethernet connected" through the wire and use AirPrint ??
    I underdstand ther is a lot AirPrint is wireless, but why can it not be wireless from the iPhone/iPad to the wireless router and then through the ethernet cable to hard wired printer ? It's all on the same network with proper IP addresses etc. Do not understand why the printer also needs to connect wirelessly to the router to enable AirPrint.......
    thanks for helping out,

    I came across this discussion when looking for a solution to a similar problem. We have an AirPrint certified printer that does not have built-in Wi-Fi. Using a USB cable it worked well with our iMac, but we also wanted to use AirPrint with our iOS devices. In our situation, we cannot run an Ethernet cable from our router (a 4th generation Airport Extreme) to either our iMac or printer. With help from Apple Support, here is what became our solution.
    Using an Ethernet cable, we connected an AirPort Express router (2012 model) to the printer to provide a Wi-Fi capability to the printer. AirPrint apparently will not work with a USB cable. Because the AirPort Express was being repurposed, we reset it using what Apple refers to as a “Factory” or “Default Settings reset.” With the reset completed, the Express became visible within Airport Utility, showing a connection to the Extreme. Within Airport Utility, click on the Airport Express to open its status window; click on the Edit button, then the Wireless tab, and then select “Join a wireless network” within the Network Mode options. This made the Express into a “wireless bridge” between the printer and the Extreme, allowing our iOS devices to see the AirPrint printer. Our iMac also connects wirelessly to the printer.
    Within Airport Utility, we could have selected “Extend a wireless network” as the Network Mode, however because we rely on a wireless connection between the Extreme and Express, doing so has the potential of reducing throughput among Wi-Fi devices because of the resulting network overhead. We had been using Printopia to allow our iOS devices to work with an earlier non-AirPrint printer. To avoid conflicts we turned Printopia off, accessing it within the iMac’s System Preferences. AirPrint is easier to use and provides better printer output than did Printopia.
    When our HP printer sleeps, the iMac computer wakes it up as needed, however the sleeping printer becomes invisible to the iOS devices. We hope to fix this weakness, possibly by resetting the printer's sleep setting.
