Trouble with connecting 6280 printer to network

I am operating two systems (PC with Vista and MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.5.8). My printer is the C6280 All-in-One and it is hooked up to a router. My PC recognizes the printer just fine, but I cannot get my MacBook to find it. I have gone through the setup routine many times using the CD provided by HP, have uninstalled the software and installed again. I have rebooted every device several times. I have even manually put in the IP address of the printer. Still nothing. During the downloading of HP software I get an error message saying the HPIO Trap Monitor failed but it does it every time so I finally tried ignore and went on. The setup just doesn't complete itself and no printer is located. Any ideas?

First, what router and ISP are you using?
Second, can you type the printer's IP address into your Mac's internet browser to see the printer? (get the IP by printing a Network Config Page from the front panel of the printer).
Finally, try a printing system reset:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Trouble with a Dell Printer on a network with PCs.

I've searched the forum and found only trouble with people getting their files to print on a mac, but I can print, only it's terrible quality while the PCs are printing out high-quality. It's a Dell 5100cn, and I've installed the updated driver from the Dell website, and called them for help, but they said they couldn't help with a Mac problem. I'm connected through an IP address over a wireless connection.
Has anyone help?

It was a simple problem after all. Sadly my hard disc was about to snuff it. I changed disk, reinsalled Tiger and all is as smooth as ever.

Trouble with connecting to an App and restoring In App Purchases

I am having trouble with restoring my in app purchases. I had purchased the full season for crazy night out a while back but when I got the app again after restoring the app the full season wasn't on and it is trying to charge me for it. I had also bought the fantasy date app and the multipacks and unlike crazy night out it recognizes I made the purchase but when I click restore purchases or buy pack it won't download and it says can not connect to server and for me to check my settings and try again also for the ones I do have that were free when I click play or download all videos it says it can't connect to servers and the videos don't play. Is there anything I can do to retrieve these purchases back and get the videos to play.
It's not the Internet everything else works.

ftp doesn't work well in modern network environments, and the design of the protocol itself is basically incompatible with the inclusion of firewalls in modern networks. And it transmits the authentication credentials in cleartext.
Put another way, see if ssh and particularly sftp works here (either directly via the sftp command, or via a sftp GUI tool) works for your requirements.
Failing that, [here is ftp set-up information|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/942].
If it's the DNS set-up, then here is some [DNS server set-up information|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436]. And your Mac OS X client will need to have access to the same DNS information your server is using.

Trouble with LPD & IPP printing

This is driving me nuts.
I work for an external IT company that looks after the macs for a Design Studio in a University.
They have amongst others, 4 Xerox copiers handled by a central RIP server which was no problem when they where in their old studio connected via the same network switch. I would set the printers up on the Macs via LPD, one for Colour & another for Mono. The print jobs go into a Hold queue on the server & are manually assigned to the relevant copier.
All macs on 10.4.11
The studio then moved to a different location on Campus & at first all seemed to be working fine. Then I installed two new iMacs with 10.5 & set up the printers as normal but when I tried to print to the rip server it failed.
If I set up the printer via LPD & try to print, the job sits in the queue with the message "Remote host did not accept control file (1)".
If I set up the printer via IPP & try to print, the job sits in the queue with the message "/Libray/Printers/Xerox/filter/XeroxPSFilter failed Network host ip address is busy, will retry in 30 seconds"
I thought it was something to do with Leopard but then I had to rebuild one of the G5's with 10.4 & I got the same errors except that on IPP I just get "Printer Busy, will retry in 10 seconds".
If I share the printer from one of the Macs that is working normally & print through that from the iMac it works fine. I have the latest PPD's I have reset the print system, pulled my hair out & swore a lot but none of these things have resolved it.
I decided to take one of the iMacs down to the Xerox room so that it was on the same network switch again but all I got was the same error messages. A couple of the copiers have Appletalk enabled so I set them up on the iMac bypassing the central rip sever & the job went straight through. I got onto the other iMac via screen sharing in the design studio & set up the the same printer but got the message /Libray/Printers/Xerox/filter/XeroxPSFilter failed.
If I look in the console it's pretty much full with the messages below.
8/30/08 3:57:21 AM com.apple.atprintd.XeroxMonoHold[73] nbp_send: nbpvalidateentity failed
8/30/08 3:57:21 AM com.apple.atprintd.XeroxMonoHold[73] nbp_lookup: nbp_send failed got=-1
If anybody could help I would be most grateful.
Thanks

If the RIP is an EFI Fiery product, then the LPD queue name has to be entered when you create the printer queue. If it is not Fiery, it still may require some specific queue name to print.
If any Mac is still printing to the RIP, you can check what queue name has been used via a browser. For the URL, enter http://127.0.0.1:631/printers to open the CUPS printer page. Scroll through to the Xerox and have a look at the Device URI. If it shows something like lpd://ip_address/print, then you know a queue name is required - in the case of the Fierys it has to be print or hold and it must be entered in lower case.
As for the IPP, you may find that this service has not been enabled or does not exist on the RIP.

Trouble with connecting with wi fi and cellular

my I-Pad says it cannot connect to the server when in wi fi or cellular although my husband's i-pad is working in both

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Trouble with MacBook Pro finding AirPort networks

I recently bought a new (refurbished) MacBook Pro (15", 1.83GHz), to replace my old iBook, which was one of the early white models, circa 2001.
Everything about my new computer is wonderful, of course, except that every time I boot up, wake from sleep, or turn on the AirPort, it takes up to a full minute for the AirPort to find any open networks. This happens at school (where there are AirPort base stations all over the place), at home (where we have a Belkin router, and several neighbors have others), and at my parents' house (where they have a linksys router). It doesn't seem to matter whether the networks use encryption or not, nor how close or far I am from the nearest router. If I know the name of a nearby open network and type it in, I can get it, usually. On my old iBook, I had a little trouble with some of the networks at school sometimes, but never with this kind of delay across the board, and certainly never at home nor at my parents'.
Also, at home, when the the AirPort finally does find the available networks, it NEVER chooses my router first, even though it's the only one in the neighborhood that I listed under "Preferred Networks."
I've read some similar posts, dealing with problems with accessing encrypted networks, but nothing seemed to address my particular issue. It might be a defect with the AirPort or firmware, but I wanted to check, first.
(Oh, and I'm not a complete newbie, but tech-speak often goes over my head. Please keep it simple.)
Thanks!

This is how I fixed the problem on my MBP.
Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
Delete the folder SystemConfiguration
Go to System Prefrences > Network > Show+Network Port Configuration. Check Airport and Built-in Ethernet and make sure Airport is on the top of the list.
Reconfigure your wep passwords and it should work. Worked for me. Also, you will have to redo your power settings.

Trouble with connection to Airpot Express on new Macbook

Hello my fellow Apple users! I hope one of you can help me. I purchased a new Macbook last week and I love it except I'm having trouble with the connection to my Airport Express. I originally set up the Airport on my old iMac, which is located on the 2nd floor of my house. The Airport is plugged in to the modem on the 1st floor. Since I have a new Macbook, I boxed up the old iMac and put it in a closet on the 2nd floor because I'm not using it anymore.
The weird thing is that my wifi connection works just fine on the 2nd floor but can't find a connection on the 1st floor; where the Airport is plugged in.
So I'm thinking I need to uninstall the Airport on my iMac but I don't know how to do that. Any tips?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Once an Apple AirPort base station is configured it retains no history of the computer that originally configured it. So "uninstalling the AirPort on your iMac" would not accomplish anything useful, even if you could do something that could be described that way.
How is your AirPort Express connected? Is its Ethernet port connected to a broadband modem?

Trouble with connecting Mac with printing Network of PCs

Massive Frustrations. I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro with OS X to my existing PC Network. I matched up the workgroup name and the sharing folders seems to be working. The printers are listed and everything seems to be running, but when I tried printing to my HP Photosmart and my Epson Inkjet printer (both linked to my pc network), it is printing alright -BUT continously with blank pages and a lot of binary jibberish - I do not know what else to do to correct this...everything seems to be configured accordingly, but I'm not getting the correct pages when printing. Any suggestions or oppinions anyone????!?! It would help greatly.
Thanks!

Anyone had trouble with photoshop elements printing to wrong printer when you have lots of printers connected (windows 7)

I have a number of printers connected to one computer via USB/Network
Epson 9600
Epson 7800
Epson 1500
Canon Pro MkII
HP laserjet 4650
regardless of what printer is selected it tries to print to the epson 9600
Originally this started happening on PSE12, so i thought it maybe fixed in upgrade so i bought PSE13, and performed a fresh install - no difference.
so i used a new harddrive, reinstalled windows and then PSE13, it was ok for a few weeks, but now its done the same again
Ive just downloaded the CC trial of "photography" and at present this seems to be working fine.
Anyone have any ideas what may cause this to happen??

Suggest as a test to connect one of the printers to USB port on your computer. See what happens when it is out of the network.

Gnome: Trouble with system-config-printer

Hello all
I have trouble setting up my printers using system-config-printer in Gnome... I added some screenshots to the bottom of this post. When I try to add the Generic CUPS-PDF printer, the "Next" button is disabled and I am not allowed to continue. When I try to add the HP printer that is on my home network (as recognised by the config) the application throws some sort of runtime error (in terminal) and doesn't update the screen or allow me to continue.
Before moving to Arch a few weeks ago, I used Ubuntu 8.04, and it had a very different application for configuring printers (although it was also called system-config-printer). Preferably, I'd just get that application back for configuring printers, it was much more intuitive and above all it actually worked.
I would like to know how to solve my problem of not being able to add the printers I want and how to get the Ubuntu printer config on Arch if that is possible at all.
Thanks

Hmm.. It doesn't really make sense to me that I need a webbrowser to configure a printer, but I gave it a try. When I tried adding the CUPS-PDF printer, it asked me what brand it was in the second step. This can't be right. When I tried adding the HP printer that is on my network, it automatically selected the correct driver from a list, but when I chose to continue it asked me for a username and a password, and providing my own did not work. So this method failed for both printers. I would really love to get back the old configuration menu from Ubuntu at this point.

The GTK theme is a personal modification of Fresh Dark that removes the Aurora style scrollbar, uses bigger icons and has nicer progress bars.
The font I use is Myriad Pro with slight hinting enabled.
The icon theme is my own mash-up of many tango-styled themes and a few custom icons and improved icons from other themes. You'll find icons there from gnome-colors, gnome-icon-theme, ubuntu-studio, and stuff found randomly on the internet and more. I'm not done perfectioning the theme though, but it's come a long way.
