Trouble with findig printer with Bonjour (HP all in one printer)

Hi,
I have a problem with connecting to my HP Printer.
When the printer and the iMac is booted freshly I can connect to the printer without any problems, also I can find the printer trought the printer browser via Bonjour.
But after a while the connection is completely lost with the printer, the only way I can connect to the printer is by IP, the dns name (http://HPxxxx.local.) is also not working anymore.
The only solution is turning off the printer and putting it on again, even sometimes I have to restart the iMac.
Is it possible a new installed wireless modem/router is cousing this odd behaviour ? Because it looked like the trouble whas coming after the new router was installed.
When I ping to the printer I can see there are some timeouts from time to time and when the timeouts take too long, the result is that I can't find the printer trough Bonjour anymore.
Thanks!

Hi cowla1,
I understand you need the drivers for the HP 6500A on a Mac. I can help you but will need some more information.
I have provided a link for the drivers up to 10.8. The 10.9 drivers show the documentation to run the Apple Updates for the driver install. HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in-One Printer - E710a Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
Make sure when you add the printer, it shows the printer name and not the printer name + Airprint.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

IPod Touch conflict with HP 6500 All-in-One printer...

Does anyone know of anyone who has an iPod Touch installed with an HP all-in-one printer and running under Windows 7 64 bit? If so I'd like to hear from them and see if I can pick their brains a bit. In fact, I'd like to hear from anyone who has an iPod Touch working with an HP all-in-one on a desktop system, no matter the OS.
Originally I tried to get them to work together under a 32 bit Windows 7 Premium build on an MSI G31M3-F V2 mobo but couldn't get the iPod and the All-in-One to work together. Either the iPod wouldn't synch or the printer would disconnect.
Yesterday I started with a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit build on an Asus P5Q-EM mobo with just the HP 6500 All-in-One and the printer and all of its functions were working perfectly.
Then I plugged in the iPod, after having installed the newest 64 bit version of iTunes, and it detected the device but wouldn't complete the driver installation. I powered down the HP 6500 and the iPod installation completed.
I then turned the printer on and it appeared to work but the iPod wouldn't complete the sync process unless I turned the printer off.
Then I changed the drive letter of the HP all-in-one's integrated card reader from "E:" to "G:" and rebooted and it appeared that everything was working. I brought the scanner up but didn't actually scan anything but, still, no disconnect messages. Finally, success I thought. Silly me...
Today my daughter tried to send a fax from the computer. It started the scan, stopped after only partially scanning and said that the printer was disconnected.
She then rebooted and tried to scan a photo and it did essentailly the same thing -- a partial scan, froze, and then reported the printer offline.
Uninstalling the iPod Touch device resulted in the printer coming back online and all functions working perfectly.
There is clearly a conflict at the device/driver assignment level and I don't know if its even anything that I can fix.
This should not be this hard.
Has anyone any experience with the iPod Touch running on a desktop that also has an HP All-in-One device installed?

Finally installed a completely new OS and then, before doing anything else, installed iTunes and connected the iPod. Installed everything else with the HP printer being the very last thing.

Hi all, Since I updated to Mavericks I am having trouble with Safari showing all the buttons/clickable options, but they are gray and will not work. Specifically, the Trash Can/Delete and the "Move to" folder button simply do not work. Any ideas?

Can I use ASUS VM60-G072R Desktop (like mini Mac) with my iMac all in one computer? I need to use Windows version of QB and I don't want to buy a PC tower or laptop.

I need to use the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro and I don't want to use Parallel or buy a PC tower or laptop. Can I use ASUS VM60-G072R Desktop (like Apple Mini) with my iMac all-in-one computer?

Thank you Kappy. I guess I have to decide to purchase a separate monitor and keyboard for this mini PC computer then. And also find extra space in my office. I'm happy you answered my question so quickly.

Problems printing envelopes with HP 4480 all in one

I purchased the HP 4480 all in one because I was told it would do the job(we hold a reunion each year and write to over 110 people. However I have had nothing but trouble (30 envelopes wasted already) it jams-jams-jams) sometimes at the back and sometimes at the front lots of messy hands!! Have now started to write the envelopes which defeats the whole idea of speed. Can any one help or shall I bin the printer not a year old yet.

I've had the very same issues with printing envelopes. I'm using standard #10 envelopes, so it should not be an issue. I have a new 4480 printer coming today to replace the one I have, but I am not encouraged about what will happen since I see at least another person has had the same issue.....we"ll see what happens...

New MBP won't print with Wifi HP All-in-one that it cam with from Apple

Hey, all just got a new MBP and the free HP all in one wireless printer.
After installing all the software and drivers I managed to bonjour it through our router or direct through USB.
Same on my iMAc
However, Wifi will hang for a few minutes , then start to print and then finish on the print queue but the page will be half printer etc.. With USB it prints straight away and complete pages.
Is this a bug in the drivers or what?
Thanks all,

iTunes, iPhoto, and Safari all use the same protocol for wireless device finding for shared items as the printer. Bonjour may be holding things up, if other items are attempting to share data over the network.

Printing problem with HP F380 All-in One printer.

My HP F380 All-in One has stopped printing in colour. Don't know if I've accidentally changed a setting but I've unchecked 'Print in grayscale' and no difference. Can anyone please advise.

Hi there,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP F380 has stopped printing in color, and I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please take a look through this guide. Streaks or Lines in the Printed Image.
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

Printing on Printable CD's With Photosmart Premium All in One C309a

I have a Hp Photosmart Premium All in One C309a that has the capability to print CD labels or Print directly on CD's, using Avery design pro label software 5.5, the printer gives an error message saying the CD tray is open. In order to print the tray needs to be closed. I've tried other label software but haven't found one that will communicate with the printer. I'm wide open for any and all suggestions.

Power problem with my 4620 all in one printer / scanner / fax

Hi,
My problem is this. I have a 4620 all-in-one printer / scanner / fax. However, I have discovered this problem.
Scenario:
The printer hasn't been used for a day or two but is plugged in still with the light above the power cord on. I want to print a word doc or whatever. I click print. I obtain a message that the computer (via wifi) can't communicate with the printer. Pressing the Power on button on the printer interface doesn't work.
My solution, I have to disconnect the power supply from the printer, then reconnect and then press the Power On button.
This isn't normal I think. I don't think for one minute that I should have to go and disconnect and reconnect the power suppy for it to print etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!

Print Too Small from Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 All In One Printer

I'm running Windows XP with CS4 and latest patches and drivers. When I print an image to my HP 8500 All in one printer, the printout is too small. Instead of a centered 4 x 6 image on the page I get a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small print of the image in the upper left hand corner.
I re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly as do any other print options, such as word, etc. But from Photoshop CS4 I can find no way to print to this printer without the image shrinking in size. If I print to another printer at the same sitting, the image is fine. So it's a PS CS4 vs. HP 8500 unique problem I guess.
I've see this post in other forms and no help as yet. Does anyone have this one on their radar. I really like this printer, but it's quite annoying.
By the way, If I print to a PDF from PS CS4, the pdf file image is fine. That's another end around for printing also. HMMMM.
I did contact HP and they put the problem squarely back on Adobe. No partnership there.
Thanks,
Glen

Will the printer print from any app?
I know it sounds like a dumb question, but you didn't actually say... And I admit to looking for software problems on an occasion or two when I had forgotten to plug in cables.

Airport extreme base station with Hp 3210 all in one printer

Just bought and hooked up the above. Using with iBook G4. Still dealing with dial-up unfortunately, but got online just fine. When I tried to print on the above, it immediately dialed up when I hit "print". ?? What's going on?

I have a pretty old HP all-in-one (G55) printer/scanner/copier device. Plugging it into my AEBS seems to not let me print to it. I have the most recent driver from HP.
Do you think it's my setup, or is the AEBS somehow not compatible with the older HP devices?
No the problem is with the HP driver.
Try using the HPIJS drivers.
For those with the older base station.
Use the process outlined here:
HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing
http://tech.ifelix.net/1300.html
Also, is it possible to fax, scan, etc through an all-in-one device plugged into an AEBS?
No, not via the USB port.
Can I scan using my all-in-one when it is connected to the USB port of an Airport Express or Airport Extreme Base Station?

Printing with HP PSC1210 All in one printer

Hello all,
Anyone out there had any luck finding a driver for the HP PSC1210xi all in one printer with Snow Leopard? I had basic printing functionality under Leopard and would just like to have the same under Snow Leopard. As a workaround, I am able to still print and scan just fine using Windows XP running in VMWare Fusion, so, I am not dead in the water. However, I would like to just get basic printing capability restored in Snow Leopard.
Thanks all.

OK, so I have some bad news. FIrst, unfortunately the print drivers for the PSC1210 are not available yet. They will be available at some point in the future through an Apple Software Update. Second, since HP never posted a 10.5 driver package for your device, there is nothing for you to download to try to get things at least functioning.
That being said, you may have some luck with the Gutenprint drivers or others. There isn't a driver specifically for the PSC 1210, but the one for the PSC 1215 may work.
HP is aware of the problem, and I know I am trying to do everything in my power to solve it as soon as possible.
Just trying to help.

Coupon printing with a 3054a All-in-one

I have an iMac running Lion (Mac OS 10.7.2) with a HP 3054a all in one. Whenever I try to print a coupon I get an error message that gives the status as "error" and the job message says "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/CouponConvertor_v2 failed"
I appear to have everything else set up correctly.
Can anyone help? I can't live without my coupons....
I've tried printing in Safari and Firefox with the same results.

Hi there,
There seem to be a number of Mac users who have similar problems with coupons. Try this thread on the apple boards as some users have found it helpful.
Best of Luck!
