Trouble with printing wireless

Can anyone help. Up until recently I have had no trouble printing wirelessly with iPad and HP photos mart B210 series. Recently it has become a nightmare.
Printing jobs are left in a que. it connects to the printer, but will not complete print task. The same problem occurs with mac book pro. Printer is connected
To router and so is iPad and MacBook. Iphone4s also a problem sending print jobs. Have spent long hours trying to sort this out .but to no avail.
Then suddenly I van print with iPad and mac book but not phone!,
What is going on!!!

Gotch-
Did you happen to make any changes to your WiFi network at about the time your trouble started?
I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds.  Then reset the network in your iPad and iPhone.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect each to WiFi.
Is it possible you have a neighbor whose Wifi router happens to have the same name (SSID) as yours?  It is possible for a printer, an iPad or a computer to jump to a different WiFi base station with the same name.  This happened to me a few weeks ago when I had trouble printing.  (There are a LOT of WiFi base stations out there named Linksys!)

  • Trouble with printing wirelessly to HP color laserjet 3550

    I am unable to print wirelessly to my HP. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    That is a non-postscript, USB printer. HP's driver is for USB only, because it bypasses CUPS (called a monolithic driver).
    Easiest way to get a CUPS driver is install hpijs + foomatic + ghostscript:

  • Trouble with printing tone from Efex Pro to printer from Lightroom

    I am having big trouble with a photo that was toned in Silver Efex Pro 2. When I print, the tone is not there. I have done the same kind of toning before, but never had this problem. I even tried printing a photo that had a lot of tone... not there when I print. I am pretty sure I have all the setting correct. Printing with Epson 2880, Epson Hot Press Bright, Profile for HPB, etc.
    After 6 hours (really) with Epson and Adobe, the problem is not solved.
    Help!

    Hi bannyx,
    I hate to hear you are having issues.  Does the printer have a valid IP address when connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?  Click Here for steps to take related to this issue. Please see the below information regarding the connection types for this printer.  Also I need a bit more information to proceed if the above link does not resolve the issue.
    Needed information:
    1.  Has the installation been completed from a disk or download?
    2.  Did the installation software detect the networked printer?
    2.  What is the IP of the printer when connected with Ethernet cable?
    3.  Are you able to access the embedded web server for the printer (type IP into address bar of web browser, does printer web page pull)?
    4.  Do you have security software running on the computer?
    5.  Is the router running in mixed mode?
    Connection information:
    1. Ethernet and wireless connectivity are exclusive.  If the device is hard wired with an Ethernet cable, wireless communication is voided (radio disabled) because the printer is networked with a cable. 
    2. Disconnecting the USB cable puts the driver in an offline state due to the fact it cannot communicate with the printer.  This is normal; it basically informs the user the device is not communicating. 
    Hope this helps!

  • CP 1215 trouble with printing

    Hi,
    I have never had any troubles with this product before. My printing machine CP 1215 started to do strange things arround this New year. It is printing with mistake making strips on pictures printed from program MS Word. But not only that. If I try to print some picture in jpg it is printing just black all the space of picture - instead of picture.
    My system is Windows 7 and I am bit suspicious that it is some software trouble because of when I connect printer to another PC with Windows Vista, there are no problems at all. But if I connect to another PC with Windows 7, it makes the same trouble.
    I removed my old HP software and tried new. No changes, same trouble :-/. I was trying to find mistake in HP software for removing software troubles, nothing. I tried to print mistake page, it was printing strips.
    I am sure that my printing machine is not broken as it would not be able to print with another PC without any troubles and mistakes and strips. And why it prints the same mistake with the same operation system on another PC?
    I hope to find help here as I quite need that it will start to work properly.
    Hi Jana

    Forgot to write that it is Windows 7 64 bit.

  • I upgraded Lion recently to 10.7.3. Since that time I am having trouble with my wireless connection. All other devices are fine, but I keep losing the connection since the upgrade.

    Recently I upgraded Lion to 10.7.3. Since that time I have been having a lot of trouble with my internet connection. I keep losing the connect and have to go to diagnostics and turn it back on. Is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks, Pat

    I'm afraid there are numerous threads on here discussing this problem. I posted in this one earlier that has a couple of suggestions, but the real solution will hopefully be provided in an update from Apple:

  • Trouble with Apple Wireless networks

    I have aan extended wireless network in our house, across four apple wireless devices: Time Capsule (which is the lead device), an airport extreme (dual-band), an airport extreme (dual band II) and an Airport Express 802.11n.
    The dual-band II is a new device and since I have incorporated it i have had issues with the wireless network that only seem to be solved if we turn the Express off.  The Express is in a Kitchen, which is beneath a study where the Extreme dual band II is.
    Does anyone have any idea why there might be a problem (seems like some kind of wave interference) and how i solve it.  I put the express in the kitchen so I could connect it to a Sonos device, which then allows me to use airplay with the Sonos.
    Regards
    Edward

    Since all of your AirPorts are 802.11n models, you can only have one base station that will be extended. You can have more than one to extend it. So, in this case, the two 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn) & the AXn would be attempting to extend the wireless range of the Time Capsule (TC).
    Think of it as the TC is at the hub of a wheel and each of the extending base station would be on individual spokes of that wheel. The issue here would be the farther away an extending base station is, the less bandwidth that will be available at that part of the extended network ... and possibly why you are getting the results that you are.
    By default, the AXn (or any AirPort will not be set to extend a network. You would have to set this as an option within the AirPort Utility. If you didn't already do this for the AXn, then it would be in its default configuration of a wireless router that would be broadcasting its own wireless network ... and NOT extending the TC's network.

  • Xp wired machine with printer - wireless vista machine can't see printer

    Installed wrt310n router - install went well - works great.
    Machine A = xp machine with printer
    Machine B = vista machine
    Machine A is hard wired to wrt310n router with usp printer
    Machine B cannot see printer.
    tried several steps including checking firewall settings and making sure workgroup names the same - doesn't work

    This is not a router problem.  It is your computer settings.  Both computers have to be on the same workgroup.  Default in XP is MSHOME while the default in VISTA is WORKGROUP.  Change workgroup to mshome.
    In XP, run file & printer sharing wizard.  Go to Printer & faxes and you should see a little hand under your printers.  Note the name of the printer you want to use.
    In Vista go to network.  You should see all your computers listed.  If not, click on Network & Sharing Centre and turn on Network discovery and file sharing. Set your network from public to private.  Go back to network and click add a printer. Select network printer.
    Your XP has to be online for the vista to connect to your printer.

  • Trouble with my wireless and cable internet connection​s with S05

    I got a Lenovo S205 last month and have been having trouble connecting it to the internet.
    I connect wirelessly to my internet box and sit about 1m away from it. Even though I am so close and my connection shows full strengh on my computer when I am browsing the internet pages often fail to load or miss images or css. I can sit and hit refresh for a mintue before the page loads but my wireless icon never says it has lost connection or signs me out of msn etc.
    I tried a different brower to check it was not that but it is still the same. I also find when speaking on skype that my video feed will stop and start again and the sound doesn't come through smoothly.
    Because of the trouble and how close I am to the internet box I tried with a cabel but when I plug it in and turn off wireless the computer doesnt seem pick it up and says I have no connection. I tried the same cabel in my old laptop and it worked fine so it seems something wrong with my port.
    What can I do to fix it? Thanks
    Stephanie

    hey steffi,
    try uninstalling both the wired and wireless drivers for your unit.
    let windows install its own generic drivers and try again on both wired and wireless connection at your home.
    if possible, try it at a different location and see if it makes any difference. If you are able to connect and have no problems browsing the web on a different wireless/wired connection, then you will need to check the settings of your home's modem

  • I'm really frustraded - Please help - Trouble with printing

    Hello guys, Im programing a software for a parking lot in java. I need to print tickets with an EPSON U220 printer. When I print, the margins of the paper are all messed up. It seems I can only print from the half of the paper to the left. What can it be? also, when I print from notepad the same happens, half of the paper is blank and only the other half prints.
    How could I solve this problem?
    Where could I start reading?
    Thanks ALOT for your time!
    Best regards

  • Troubles with printing text document exported to pdf (edited)

    Hello, I've exported a text document from pages to pdf.  When I open it with adobe reader everything it's ok.
    But when then I try to print the pdf file a small dots grid on the background appears on the paper sheets. Can someone tell me what can I do to make the grid disappear?

    Try Print as Image (Advanced button on Print panel).

  • Trouble with print margins, Adobe 9.4

    I am currently trying to send a 22x34 pdf to my Canon iR5055 printer.  My goal is to get the pdf to print out true half size on an 11x17 sheet of paper.  The problem I am having is that when I do this, the printer adds margins to all four sides of the page, making it not to scale.  I have already tried manually adjusting the margins in the Adobe Crop Pages dialogue box to 0, with no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
    Chris

    Many printers have default margin areas that you can not print to. If you look those up for the printer, you could then put those in with a crop on your copy and then print. That part will still be gone, but the remainder should be scaled correct. The issue is a printer problem, where the printer does not allow any printing within a certain distance of the paper edge. Most of the time, there is no workaround to get all the way to the paper edge.

  • Trouble with Print Jewel Case Inserts

    When I print a jewel case insert, the song list line spacing is not correct.  The second line partially prints over the first and the third line partly over the second.  This happens on all printed lines of the song list. 
    I have read that other users are experiencing this problem.  In fact, it was a known problem in the past and was resolved but the current version of iTunes includes this bug again.  It appears that software releases are not thoroughly tested before releasing to the public.  Shouldn't there be alpha and beta testing that would catch obvious bugs?
    Frustrated...

    That's exactly what's happening with me as well. Evidently a recent iTunes update caused the problem, which is with version 11.0.2.26. Since I asked my question I found a thread on the same topic that is six pages and started last December. Apparently Apple became aware of the problem initially, sent an update that fixed it, then updated again recently without the fix. Maybe they'll get around to fixing it again soon. Check out this thread. One guy posted a picture of exactly what we're talking about:

  • Having trouble with multiple wireless users on WRT54G router

    Basically, there are 3 of us wirelessly sharing the internet via a linksys WRT54G router. I have our router password-protected, to avoid randoms stealing out broadband. I am a Mac user (3 year old computer), the other 2 are on PC laptops.
    At the moment, I have an excellent internet connection, and it's working just fine. However, if my room mate connects with their laptop (a fairly new model), my internet connection stops working. I still have a signal, but it just really slows down/often stops working entirely. It's  as if their wireless connection takes priority and ignores mine (essentially nullifying the router's purpose).
    Has anyone come across a problem like this before? Your assistance would be super helpful and appreciated.

    Hi, perhaps you may try the following steps to improve the performance of your router:
    • Upgrade the router’s firmware
    • Reset the router after the firmware upgrade
    • Optimize the router’s wireless settings
    • Use a wifi analyzer like http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to set a non overlapping channel to the router
    • Relocate the router on a more central location for better wireless coverage
    • Avoid placing the router on a glass or metallic surface

  • Trouble with printing through 10.8 shared printer using lpd.

    Hi, hoping someone will have had a similar issue.
    I am using a OSX 10.8 mac mini as a print server.  I am using it as a print server because because i have clients that print across subnets and bonjour will not work for this application.  Previously with my 10.7 imac I had shared the generic printer aimed directly at the printers IP address.  Client macs aim at the print server using lpd (using ip or host name) and then the printer name (share) for the queue and also use the generic ppd. When a client adds this configuration aimed at the old 10.7 print server the printer would install and printing would be succesfull.  Now with the 10.8 print server a client (reguardless of client OS version) i get the "Unable to verify the printer on your network." when installing and printing fails. I have tried the proper ppd for the make/manufacture of the printer (i didnt think this would make a difference) I have tried using the cups commands as well:
    cupsctl --share-printers
    cupsctl --share-printers --remote-any
    cupsctl 'BrowseLocalProtocols="cups dnssd lpd smb"'
    assuming lpd was just not available and needed to be turned on...
    I am able to ping the 10.8 on the network from clients verifying they can see the server
    also have tried using ipp with no luck.
    Anyone else had this issue and if so is there a work around?  Thanks!

    The Mini prints just fine to the printer.  on a side note, I tried to add a "client" printer to the mini server.  I added a printer using the ip address 127.0.0.1 (self resolving)  and the que name as the share.  This didnt work either.  Im thinking this must be a cups setting?
