Suggestions for all in one wireless printer to work with iMac

I am looking for a new all in one that will work with my iMac & Airport

About a month ago I got an HP Photosmart Premium c410 AIO (print, copy, scan, fax). I don't remember the price, but I think it was about $200. Wireless setup was easy and it works fine so far. I also use it in a Wi-Fi (Airport) network with a Windows 7 PC and 2 Win 7 laptops; the HP software for Windows is _much_ more user friendly, versatile and faster than the Mac s/w IMHO. The software for it on a 2011 27" Intel iMac running SL is more stripped down and slower to connect, but it works OK. I haven't upgraded the OS to Lion yet due to numerous complaints.
The only gripe is that like most current HP printers, it eats cartridges, even the XL ones. The ePrint function works fine with an iPad (version 1). Print quality is OK for my uses, i.e., letters, photos on plain paper and up to 8.5" X 11" good photo paper).
I also connect to a one-year old HP Photosmart c310 my daughter brought home from college for the summer - seems to be a pretty similar ePrinter, but without the fax capability. This works as well as the c410 near as I can tell. It probably cost about $120.

Looking for all-in-one wireless printer recommendation.

Running iPhone 5, iPad Air, MacBook with Snow Leopard and a PC running XP. Anyone???

Primarily for text? For photos?
Is speed most important or quality?
Price range???
For photos highly recommend Epson Artisan or its current replacement which may be called the Expression series. All in one and wireless. May not be speedy enough for text for you

C7289 All in one- wireless printing not working

It looks like all connected for wireless printing, however, nohing will print! Please help

Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer (Setup > Network area). Does the printer have a valid IP address (not 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.x.x)?
Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
What operating system?

Best all-in-one wireless printer for Mac 10.9.2

Looking for best wireless all-in-one for home use. I have Mac OSX 10.9.2, iPhone 5, iPad and a wireless network. Not technically inclined. Any recommendations?

I wish a few more users would take the time to share their experiences with printers. I have had a Canon MX870 for several years that is nothing but a perpetual headache -- it needs to be reconnected to the network three or four times a day or it simply will not print. There are lots of posts on this topic and I have tried every possible solution with no luck. I am reluctant to buy another Canon -- this experience has left me doubting their products. I am also reluctant, based on past experience, to consider an HP product. So that pretty much leaves Epson -- but which Epson? I am looking for an all-in-one wireless printer that will STAY CONNECTED to the network. Top-quality printing would be nice, but frankly, it's not on the top of my priority list. I just want to be able to use the printer, scanner and copier without wasting an hour of my day on maintenance. If you have had positive experience in this regard, please take a few seconds to post your recommendations. Thanks. (I am running the latest version of Mavericks on a new Mac Pro.)

Hp - photosmart e-all-in-one wireless printer cn731a- nothing prints??

HP - Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer (CN731A)
Went through setup on Windows 7 64-bit, printed the test photo, came out great. Thought everything was good to go. Later, when trying to print a document, it wouldn't print. Computer popped up a message saying "Successfully printed" but when I went to the printer, there was nothing there. I tried running a wireless network test on the printer's screen, and once that page printed with the results, immediately after that, the document I was trying to get finally printed. This was an early Christmas gift for my parents, & my mom just informed me that she tried to print again today, but nothing happened on the printer. I am out of town now and am not able to troubleshoot on my own on the printer like I did a couple days ago so came here for advice.. Any idea what the issue might be? Did I maybe miss a step after doing the test print of the photo? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hello,
Try the below steps ..
While the printer is ON, Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
Disconnect all the cables that are connected to the printer.
Wait for 30 seconds.
Plug in only the Power Cord. ( Printer would Power on ).
Try making a standalone Color copy of a document . If it fails to print a copy, then it could either be an issue with the Ink cartridges or the Printer .

Am considering buying a Time Capsule. But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection. Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule. I assume yes...?

A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

Can I get my HP F4500 wireless printer to work with my Ipad?

Can I get my HP F4500 Wireless Printer to work with my Ipad....It is an IOS 4.3.2

Philip-
I don't see a 4500 HP printer on the list of AirPrint printers, so you will most likely need an alternate way to print to it.
One way is to use an iPad App such as Print n Share. It has its own browser, mail, photo and text programs that can print to some non-AirPrint printers. I don't know if it can print from within other iPad Apps.
Another way is to use a computer to share the printer as AirPrint over WiFi, using a program like Printopia for the Macintosh. For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator.
I recommend you try the free iPad App, HP iPrint Photo.

Cannot get printer to work with iMac

I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!

It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
is the printer/scanner listing from Apple.
Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:
Epson, alternate Australian site may have more up-to-date drivers for Epson, Epson RIP and colormatching drivers from iProof Systems, Guten-Print (formerly known as Gimp-print), and Printfab. http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

HP OfficeJet 5505 All-In-One wireless printing.

I've got a problem getting a HP OfficeJet 5505 All-In-One printer working with a Time Capsule for wireless printing.. I'm not quite sure how to debug this, so I'm asking for a little help.
If I connect the printer directly to the Mac, It is properly recognized when I go to add it into the printers list, and documents print normally.
Now when connected to the TimeCapsule, It looks to be recognized in the Airport Utility, and when I go to add it into the printers list, I can see it connected to the Time Capsule.. One difference is that I have to manually choose the printer driver rather than it being auto selected..
When I print a document, it looks like it spools up normally, and gets sent to the printer.. However the printer never starts, or prints.
After reading a few posts it looks like there might be some compatibility issue between office jet printers and the Time Capsule/Airport Extreme as I am not the only one with issues.
Any ideas?

The OfficeJet 5505 uses LIDIL (lightweight imaging device interface language) which depends on the host computer for low level commands. It will not work with the Time Capsule's USB port.
Technically, neither the printer nor the TC is at fault. The printer will only work when connected directly to a computer's USB port. Searching for drivers will be a futile exercise.
Sorry for the bad news. If you want to get a printer on your network, get a network printer.

How do i find the email address assigned to my all-in-one wireless printer?

I am trying to set up my so called"all-in-one" (w/o fax?) to wirelessly print from my mobile or other computers connected to my network. I was referred to the eprintcenter.com site. I then read that I needed to set up an account. while doing so, I was asked to give an email address with the password? (you must be joking?) I went back to read that each device has an assigned email address that I could find by going through the device itself wireless menu.... Uhmmmmm?? I have not been able to find it... Nor, any of the other questions?

Hi IDNTLKHPPRODS,
You can see the email address of your printer on the printer itself. If you tell us the model of your printer, I can point you in the right direction to find that.
For creating an account on eprintcenter.com, you use your email address--the one where YOU receive your email, not the printer's email address. Once you have that account and have added your printer to it, you can customize the email address so it is something easier to remember.
I hope this helps!

I am looking to buy a all in one, multi function network printer.

Thank you.

Installed a few of these just lately. Can't fault them. Good quality at a great price. Built in ethernet 10/100 10-Base T, drivers for Mac and PC, You can Print and Scan to it from both platforms. Drivers compatible with 10.4/10.5/XP/Vista. Good little photocopier as well and supports up to 4 different types/size memory cards. These can be inserted and using the LCD panel (no iinteraction required with Mac or PC) you can print however many photos you want.

Fax: HP Officejet 8600 Plus (all in one wireless printer) OS: windows 7 64bit DSL Router/Modem

this is my second Wireless printer from HP. Main problem and only problem is that every time my phone rings the fax answers which is very annoying, hearing the tone while trying to answer the phone. I followed directions exactly. Have the fax set to answer on 6th ring...have auto answer set to off....yet it continuously answers when the phone rings. I've tried turning the printer off and it still happens...even when the PC and Printer are off it happens.
I am on a DSL line...share line with phone...have voice mail....have a home network.....
This question was solved.

Hi,
Considering the fact taht you have tried turning the printer off and it still happens, I find it hard to believe it is the printer.. the fax should be turned off as any other functionality of the device.
Please try unplugging the phone line from the 1LINE port of the fax and try dialing to your phone line.. Can you hear any fax tone then?
If so, I affraid it is surely not coming from the HP device...
If you can see any change, replug the printer.. make sure you connect the cable into 1LINE and not into any other port by mistake...
Also make sure you connect the phone cable using an ADSL micro-filter.. make sure the printer connected into the Phone port of the filter and not into the ADSL port by mistake.
Please let me know of any change,
Shlomi
