Trying to use wireless printing on a windows 8 computer

Everything I have is Apple, and working great with my Airport Extreme. My wife, however, has a windows 8 computer. I sold her on the wireless printing as a reason to get the sweet new Apple Airport Extreme.
Problem:
Research leads me to believe that I have to download and use Bonjour, which I have done. Bonjour detects an HP printer, but cannot find the appropriate driver. The actual printer is not supplied as a way to choose a driver. It is only given as a series number, which doesn't match the printer (ex: Deskjet f4400 series, hers is f380). I think everything would work just fine if I could locate the proper driver within bonjour. Also, her computer doesn't have a disk drive to use and it prints fine while connected by usb directly.
Hardware)))Windows 8 64-bit)))Airport Extreme)))HP F380 All-in-one.
If there is any info that I am not including please tell me and I will try to add.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Laptop won't install drive for photosmart d110! Tried several attempts. Trying to use wireless print

I'm using Windows vista, 64-bit operating system and a hp photosmart d110 all-in-one printer. I have automatic updates installed and recently installed AVG PC Tuneup. I have attempted several uninstall/installs of the printer. I can get the printer software to download from hp website, but my laptop won't recognize it. I've been using this printer with the same Toshiba Satellite A505 laptop for the past year and have had no problems until now. I've also uninstalled the AVG Tuneup, as I thought it may have disrupted something, but still no changes. I keep getting the troubleshoot triangle on my computer image under the device/printer page. When I troubleshoot it says device needs driver installed. I click apply fix, but it is always unsuccessful. I can't completely uninstall the original hp software uploaded last February. Not sure why, but I've tried all morning.
Thanks for your time and I appreciate any help regarding this matter!

No, this was not helpful at all.
I found the solution myself. I kept working on it, as my inital feeling was that HP wasn't going to be very helpful. I'm appreciative of your response, but it may be helpful to correspond back with more than a one question sentence. When presenting our problem, we are to give very descriptive details. As neither one of us, has all day to sit around and wait for emails, it would be helpful to suggest a few things that may be wrong. Thus, the process of elimination could actively be started. Thanks for your time anyway.

Not working right-will not let me type a new emall, pull contacts, also will not let me use wireless printer-kept shutting down windows.

firefox will not let me type in yahoo mail as new email. will not pull up contacts. also, when I use wireless printer-it shuts down windows.

Couple of points...

The thing is, this MUST be an Audition CC issue for two reasons. One, everything worked fine in CS6, which I was using right before I upgraded to CC. I even did a clean install of it by removing CS6 completely.
All versions of Audition can co-exist on the same machine quite happily - there is no interaction between them at all, and the system was designed to be like this. So there's nothing to stop you keeping CS5.5, CS6, CC and even Audition3 on the same machine.
The other thing I'm wondering about is Windows 8. There have been a considerable number of complaints about this doing weird things, including with Audition. I have a system that in many ways is very similar to yours, except that I don't overclock the mobo, and use a professional sound device (or two) with it (RME). The major difference though is that I use Windows 7 pro 64-bit, and I haven't had any of these problems at all. Yes I use it for a living, as well, but I don't bother with multiple DAWs - don't have time for all that these days. But I do use iZotope's RX software in its standalone mode without any difficulty.
I'm not claiming that Audition CC is trouble-free - any number of Mac users will confirm that - but people running it on W7 certainly seem to have far fewer problems with it. It may also be worth trying an uninstall-reinstall of CC - you never know. But differences in preview quality certainly point towards audio drivers, I'm afraid...

I am trying to use a website that requires that my computer have the latest version of Java, which I have updated and installed Java 7 Update 51 (64-bit), however Firefox does not recognize that I even have Java on my computer. My computer is 64-bit
When I run "Verify Java Version" it show nothing is installed... but it is, I know that for a fact because it shows in my "Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features".
When I go back to the Java Download page, the following message is visible:
"We have detected you may be viewing this page in a 32-bit browser. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers."
My question is this:
Is there a way to change my Firefox browser from 32-bit to 64-bit.... because it appears that this is way Java is not functioning properly?

Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

MacBook trying to connect wireless printer via A Express

Am trying to connect my macbook with an existing linksys network to a wireless printer via an Apple Express.
The computer seems to reconize the Apple Express but, in following the instructions to use the Printer Setup Utility to get the computer to recognize the connection, when I designate my printer I get and error message......." An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer Error -9672"
Does anyone know a cure or, at least, where to research "error 9672" ??

Wireless Printing To A Windows Computer

Hello I have 2 windows pcs with a usb switch to switch my printer between the two, without having to use a print server. The 2 machines are connected to my home network with a linksys wireless router. I just got a new Macbook and i can't figure out how to print from it on my wireless network. Is there any way to do this?
Btw I'm not a mac noob i had an ibook g4 before this and have had many a mac.

If the printer has no wireless function of its own, then you will have to connect to the printer share on the Windows box. Now, since you are switching between the printer between two PCs, you will need to have two printer queues on your Mac, one for each Windows printer share. Or, if you only want one PC to share the printer, then you will have to remember to switch the printer to shared PC (unless the USB switch has built-in smarts that lets it change automatically).
Once you have created the printer share (make sure the name is short and without spaces) on the Windows computer, you should be able to open System Preferences > Print & Fax and click the + to add a printer queue. Then select the Windows icon to display the Windows share. Generally you will share the Workgroup name in the first pane and selecting this will show the computers in that workgroup. After selecting the PC sharing the printer, you may have to authenticate using your Windows account to see the printer share.
When you see the printer share and select it, the Mac will look for a printer driver. Now for a number of machines, the vendor supplied driver will not work with this type of connection, so you will have to look at using a compatible driver like those supplied by Gutenprint. If your printer is newish, then you may have to download the latest version of Gutenprint to get support for your model.

Trying to connect wireless printer, asking for password for time capsule?

Trying to use wireless N with iwlwifi & network manager

Have all the h/w necessary to use wireless N:
Intel Centrino-N 1030
Linksys E3200 running Tomato 1.28
Linksys E4200 running dd-wrt 21286
Also updated everything today (pacman -Syu):
>uname -a
Linux hostname 3.12.9-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 31 10:22:54 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So, with either router set up with as an AP at 2.4GHz and N-Only (the centrino 1030 doesn't support 5GHz), and the module defaults loaded, I see odd behavior. First, once connected to either AP, Network Manager still reports the connection to be at B/G.
I checked the module config, and this part is relevant:
>modinfo iwlwifi | grep 11n
parm: 11n_disable:disable 11n functionality, bitmap: 1: full, 2: agg TX, 4: agg RX (uint)
There's a lot of chatter on the forums about earlier kernels not supporting N w/ iwlwifi, and recommending to disable it with '11n_disable=1' in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf. So I tried explicitly enabling it, and assuming it's a binary value:
>cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=0
After reloading the module(s) (and restarting wpa_supplicant & networkmanager), the thing I'm finding confusing is that I can see evidence of this change take effect:
>cat /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/11n_disable
0
...but it doesn't affect the output of modinfo (same as above), nor am I able to connect to either router at N (NM still reports B/G). Also confused how it connects at all when the routers are set to N-Only?

modinfo iwlwifi
That is not supposed to change. It just shows you the parameters and their valid configurations.
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=0
>cat /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/11n_disable
0
Did you check that it was not already 0?
...but it doesn't affect the output of modinfo (same as above), nor am I able to connect to either router at N (NM still reports B/G). Also confused how it connects at all when the routers are set to N-Only?
If the card connects with the routers set to n only, then the card is capable of working with n. I usually check with nm-tools and look at the speed indicated.
Here is the thing: Routers and cards sometimes negotiate a lower speed to prevent intereference with other devices. I usually 'get' N-speed only once I start to saturate the link.

Trying to Connect Wireless Printer

Seems like a silly question to me...but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
I just bought a Lexmark X6570 Wireless Printer, in hopes that it would wirelessly connect to my Airport Extreme. However, the only printer configurations I see for the Airport Extreme are to actually plug the computer into the Airport Extreme.
Is there any way to add my new printer to the network without physically connecting it to the Extreme?

Unable to print multiple copies of PDF using reader X with new Windows 7 computer

I recently upgraded to a new Windows 7 computer. Now when I try to print a PDF I can only print one copy. I have checked that my Mopier Mode is enabled and have tried everything I can think of. Why could I print multiple copies with Windows XP but can't with Windows 7?

How does that manifest itself:
you cannot change the number of copies on the Print panel?
you can change the number of copies, but it prints only one?

Wireless printing HP7350 from Windows 7

I just put Windows 7 on my laptop - do I really have to attach it to a USB to print every time I need to print ?
How do I print wireless? I love my HP7350 printer and there is nothing wrong with it.
Help

Can you print from any other computer or device? Is it just the windows computer that is having trouble?
connected my Canon MP640 over wifi but I cannot now print from my Windows 7 laptop
How were you connected to the printer when it did work?
What model TC is this?
Is the computer able to fully access internet and the TC hard disk?
If you have a previous wrong configuration of the printer.. delete all traces of it, reboot the laptop and start over.
Find out the IP address of the printer and ping it. To be accessible on the network it must be pingable.
