[SOLVED] Problem with usb printer HP Laserjet P1606dn

This printer requires the instalation of a plugin for color and two-side printing.
When I execute the commando hp-plugin in root mode, appears this:
"No protocol specified
hp-plugin cannot connect to X server "
And of course, the plugin is not installed and I don't realize how to solve this problem...

make sure you have installed hplip and the hplip-plugin from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44646)
after everything has been installed (cups hplip foomatic-db-engine hplip-plugin ...), run 'hp-setup -i'

Airport Extreme - problem with usb printer and usb disk

I have Airport extreme with firmware 7.1. I try connect usb disk and usb printer with usb-hub to airport. I can't get disk or printer working. Also try connect only disk or printer without usb-hub to airport getting same problem. How I get disk and printer working with wireless network (windows pc computers)?
1)
My printer is HP PSC 1210 all-in-one ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=90764&lc=fi&cc=fi&dlc=fi&lang =fi&cc=fi&y=0&x=0 )
- printer seems working fine after installing bonjour printer installing wizard.
- I get error (in windows) when I try print document from word. Error only says "error printing" in status value.
- In airport utility all seems ok. Airport see usb printer "Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 series"
- printer protocol is RAW and driver manufacture HP (also try with microsoft driver)
2)
USB disk is Targa Databox II 250
- Airport utility says "Disk needs repair. Errors were found with a disk connected to your airport base station. please connect the usb disk to your mac or pc and use disk utility or another disk application to repair the disk"
- I have connected Targa usb disk to windows pc and run scandisk and defreg. No errors found in windows. Result..no help for airport

I have a similar problem to your second issue. Tried connecting a Netdisk to the USB port of the Airport Extreme and it also said there was a problem with the disk. Have performed a low level format on the disk and Airport Extreme still complained the disk had a problem.
After unplugging the disk, my route decided to stop allowing wireless connections even after rebooting. Ended up having to hard reset the Airport Extreme and reconfigure it with my old settings to work again.
FWIW, the first Airport Extreme I purchased today only worked on 802.11a and steadfastly refused to work on b/g so had to get a replacement. I suspect Apple's quality control is not quite as good as it used to be.

Solve Problem with USB Connection / Read this it i...

i can not load maps on my n97 mini. the error 'usb connection lost...' show on the screen in map loader but at the first day i had no problems.
i wonder why. i look for driver, ovi suite, pc suite, usb at the pc, read in the forum and many more. but nothing solve the problem. after 2 days i use accidentally the original cable which comes with the nokia n97 mini (it is a ca-101) and all my problems are gone ! bevor i use an 'old' ca-101 cabel from my n82 and i can not upload a map but the handy is shown in the pc system with all drivers and no problems. only loading big megabytes data on the handy crashes the usb connection. with the n97 mini ca-101 cabel no problem with gigabytes. i look for another ca-101 cable from the 6220 from my wife and i have the same problems (i never used bevor this cable for a connection to any handy ! it was brand new !). it seems that 'old' ca-101 cabels do not handle big data with the n97 mini. i look on the gold spring clips in the micro usb and could see that the are a little smaller and not so high in the jack in the 'old' cables. all three cables are original from nokia and not from china ! if you are also problems look on the produkt id on the plastics. if the letters are gold you have a cable like my n97 mini cable, but if the letters are black on a silver button you have an 'old' cable.
i hope i can help another with this maniac problem
greetings

I can verify this on win7 with latest PC suite.
I was using the cable that came with my 6500s as I didn't want to tackle the rats nest of wiring behind my pc.
This cable is a ca101 with silver writing on the plastic tab, made in China.
Using this cable, my 6620c would not complete a backup, it would just sit for hours on 2-4%.
Tested with the ca101 cable that came with the 6620c (gold writing, made in Thailand).
This time the backup completed in about 2 minutes.
Thank you so much for finding this, it has been driving me crazy!

Problems with my printer HP Officejet pro 8600 Plus + Yosemite

Hi got problems with my printer HP Officejet pro 8600 Plus till I installed Yosemite it is not recognized so what can I do now.. No new drivers found by HP

Thanks for this AnnRT!
I've spent the best part of a day trying to figure this out. Everything was fine and then one day nothing worked! I have narrowed the issue down to Bonjour via WiFi as everything worked fine via USB, and via IP over WiFi.
I've now set a static IP for the printer and things seem to be working fine again
Thanks!

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600+ that is coming up with an error message. This just happened out of the blue yesterday. The printer is just over a year old.
It says:

I have removed and reinstalled ink cartridges, the head, unplugged, cleaned, etc. etc.

Sorry that you are experiencing this problem. Here is a link that may assist you with the ink system.

It seems to be a bad print head, or it needs manually cleaned with lint free cloth and water. If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact HP Support (1800-474-6836).

Problem with my printer "sorry not recognised"

Dispite posting the problem i had after MUCH hard work and searching for how to do this, i never got a reply (i thought this was a support forum), i hate to say it but support from HP has seriously gone down hill, i have a problem with my printer which is in warrenty can i send and email NOOOOOOO cos i have to put S/N and product number i put them in but i get "sorry not recognised" How the hell are you meant to get any support when they make 99% impossible to to post and email them i am sorry HP but your support is a shambles, your heads should be hung in shame.

Same problem and the same printer, Yosemite not recognize the printer (which I think is incredible, Windows was better in these areas to get a new OS).
Some advice from those who have been mentioned here and do not solve the problem?
If I had known I stay with Snow Leopard, worked best on Imac mid-2010.
Very unhappy with Apple, had understood that they were more serious and respectful to customers.

There is a problem with the printer or ink system.

Will not print. Turn it off then back on; will print one document, but not the last page. Try printing only the last page, but will not print. Will not print one page documents at all. Will not print more than one document without repeating this process.
First Error message: "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn the printer off, then on. If you continue to get this message, contact HP." Out of warranty.
Tried this page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03081973
Which led me to this page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03262508
Now that the ink cartridges are removed as instructed, the carriage will not return to the center of the access area.

Hey @KennyBee51,
Thanks again for getting back to me regarding this issue.
I would have to agree that the HP Officejets Printhead system is defective. I would recommend at this time that you contact our Technical Support queue by phone to explore additional hardware options.

I am unable to print a proper playlist in the jewel case format. Lines print on top of one another. No problem with other print formats

I am unable to properly print a playlist in the jewel case format. All lines bunch together. I have no problem with other print formats. Help please.

If it is a USB powered external, no AC adpater, that may be the reason. Mac notebooks are known to have low powered USB ports. You can get around that with a Y USB cable to connect to 2 USB ports at the same time.

Problems with 'Order Prints' from Aperture 2.1.3 Mystery borders

*Some background:*
I've been using Aperture for about 3 months now, importing most of my iPhoto library into the program. I have only recently started shooting in RAW format, most of my photos image files are in JPG format. In the past, I've had no problems with obtaining prints from within iPhoto or to a limited extent Aperture. So, far as I know my program is up-to-date. I have 2 plugins installed: Aperture2twitter and *flickr export Lite* both of which work acceptably.
*The problem:* I ordered 317 4×6 prints from my aperture library.
Every photo has a 1/4″ border on both sides of the image, i.e. the printed image is only 4×5 1/2″. I have never ordered this quantity before, but I don’t believe that was the problem, it appears that the processing machine was misaligned and no one reviewed the prints prior to shipping.
I tried again, on 4 different images ... all JPG files with 3 out of 4 were OK, but one exhibited the "border" issue.
I haven't a clue what is going on here. Apple implied +(via email)+ that I would have to individually crop every photo to ensure proper aspect ratio. This makes no sense to me at all, as I have never had this kinda problem before.
Could the plugin(s) be interfering with the s/w? Is there a trick to having photos printed from within Aperture that was not present in iPhoto?
Any thoughts on what the problem is would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-john

I believe that I've solved this problem, with the help of the folks at Apple who handle Aperture tech support using the Aperture support ID that came with the product.
So the short answer is: Aperture print services REALLY DO REQUIRE the image to be cropped (constrained as they say) prior to the data being sent to Apple Print services.
Here is the link that describes cropping http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1993?viewlocale=en_US
The process as described is cumbersome, but the support tech pointed out that in Aperture, crops are 'non-destrutive' and can be undone simply by removing the check mark on the Adjustments tab of the image you crop. *This means that you do not have to make a duplicate image for cropping.*
So, here is the process that I arrived at to ensure that my "order prints" job turned out:
1. create an album of all the photos you want to submit for printing.
2. for each image call up the Crop HUD by pressing 'c' on the keyboard.
3.select the aspect ratio that you want for your photo. Make sure that it does NOT SAY Master Aspect Ratio, or Main Display Aspect Ratio.
4. Crop the photo
on the adjustments tab you can see the X and Y data and Height / Width information which can be undone.
5. Submit your print request to Apple for all the cropped photos.
When the prints arrive, you can compare the prints with the submitted photos. They should all be good. You can then delete the album (since it really is not a physical thing) or keep it for reference.
It all seemed a bit arcane to me, as I never had to worry about this in iPhoto. It must be that iPhoto sends different data than Aperture. I have just received 200 + prints back from Apple Print Services with about 98% success rate. I just have to adjust my thinking and my process when dealing with Aperture.

Photosmart 7520 error. there is a problem with the printer. turn printer off then on.

I have a photosmart 7520 experiencing the following issues.
Problem #1: Randomly all the lights start to blink off and on and the display reads the following :
Error . There is a problem with the printer. Turn printer off then on.
I cannot find any one action that triggers this to happen.
Problem #2: When the printer is turned on and idle, also at RANDOM times, the printer will "Ding" followed by the wireless light blinking. Then what sounds like the cartridges being cleaned, then a sound like the feeder spinning or the print head running full track from side to side, then ending with a "Ding" and then returning to normal.
When this occurs, the wireless connection is disconnected then reconnected. Also this Disables the "Scan to computer" function to all the computers on the network and requires manually re-enabling all .
From what I can tell the printer is restarting itself.
It is plugged directly into the wall outlet, no surge protector.
Tech support has already run me through the clean the print head steps, escalated me up the chain, and ultimately replaced the printer with a brand new one.
THE NEW PRINTER IS DOING ALL THE SAME THINGS AS THE PREVIOUS ONE.
This printer is connected wirelessly to a Netgear N900 router. My computers all running Windows 7, all are on the same network and workgroup and all are running Mcafee Total Protection.
If anyone is or has experienced the same or similar problems, I could sure use some help.

How did you fix this?
I replaced an HP printer recently for a new Photosmart 7520 after a complete ink container emptied into the printer.
The old printer sometimes had difficulties switching it on and the new printer has the same problem.
Also the wireless connection regulary drops and can only be reenabled by switching of the printer and switching it back on, only this sometimes takes more than ten minutes before a simple push on the power button is translated in a power on of the printer.
Since the previous printer also suffered from these "power" issues, I think the problems are power related, but I have to check this first before I can say anything more about this.

There is a problem with the printer

Every day the printer comes on (out of sleep) and displays "there is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer off then on. ", why is this happening every day??
This question was solved.
View Solution.

This problem got resolved, eventually. Although hp tech sent me to HPInstant Ink and they "reset" my printer, the error message returned in a couple of days, and continued daily. Another call to Tech Support/InstantInk advised me to return the printer for an exchange (it is 60 miles one way to return). We decided to install the Instant Ink cartridges as a last ditch effort to resolve the error messages, and it worked. No error messages. I have put the original ink cartridges back in the printer so I could use those up. Still no error messages and this printer is now working fine. PERSONAL OPINION: When we enrolled in instantink, hp tried to contact our printer via wireless (whatever) and when it was unable to an error message occurred EVERYDAY, after installing the instant ink cartridges a connection was made to hpinstantink completing the enrollment process.

Java update causes problems with color printing in Mac 10.5

Had a big problem with color printing for the last two weeks. Thought the printer was broken because it would freeze and refuse to be "seen", or would generate error messages. Bought new Samsung 315, and had the SAME problem. Bought new HP CP1518ni, and had the SAME problem. Not resolved after talking to tech support at both places.
Looked for software updates around the time of the onset of printing problems. on May 15 installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 update" (1.0) (am running on 10.5.8). Removed the Java preferences files (com.apple.java......plist) and restarted.
Problem solved! Clearly not the printer.

Hmmm. This is about the time my printer stopped printing too. I've now had two printers in my house and had trouble with both of them. What a pain we should not have to delete updates for our stuff to work together.
