Unable to print to HP 4000tn through hub or switch
Hi,
I have a 4000tn that was working great under Leopard using appletalk.
Now that I've made the upgrade to Snow Leopard I am having printing issues. I've been able to get it configured using HP Jetsocket or whatever it's called.
My problem is that I also run my appletv through ethernet... (less delay than through airport)
So my situation as it stands right now:
With the Mac hooked up to my local network through either a Netgear FS105 switch, or a Hawking PN400TX Hub, the mac and appletv both work fine. appletv shows up in itunes, movies stream fine, and the appletv has no problem sharing my macs internet connection (airport). However, the printer doesn't exist as far as my mac is concerned.
If I unplug the mac from the hub or switch, I of course loose the appletv, but the printer prints just fine.
So I'm sure the printer is correctly configured, but cannot figure out how to get all my devices working simultaneously.
Any ideas would be awesome.
If you have the iMac and printer set to a manual address instead of dynamic (DHCP), then you could do the same to the TV (if you can - never used one so I am assuming you can manually set the network settings). So with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, you could set the TV to 10.0.1.100, providing the iMac stays at 10.0.1.1 and the printer is set manually to 10.0.1.64.

Unable to print with 2 identical printers unless I switch the port setting
I have 2 identical HP Deskjet 6940 printers
(I assume they are identical unless there is a way to verify the guts inside or different)
When ever I want to print to one or the other printer, I have to open into the printer properties and go to Ports and switch between USB001 or USB002.
I have tried uninstalling the printer driver and reinstalling it as well as letting Windows detect the printer driver, but it still creates another Port and one printer always insists on printing to one particular port and the other printer prints to the other.
How do I set both printers to print with the same port so I don't have to constantly go into the properties to switch them back again?cornpops wrote:

What is your operating system? In Vista (and I think XP as well) you can go to the Printers folder, right click on the printer, Run as Admonistrator, Properties, (continue), Ports, check the "Enable Printer Pooling" then check the boxes for the ports for the two printers. In this case the print job will be sent to the first one that is available.

Unable to printer through network
Hi, I am currently unable to print through the wireless network. I set up the printer yesterday, and it printed ok. The printer is a HP Office Jet Pro Preium . When I try to print I get the message "Unable to communicate with printer. Printer unavailable or not connected". The printer says that it is properly connected to the network. Any ideas?
Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having trouble installing your HP Photosmart c4580 printer on Mac OS X 10.5.8. And, I am happy to help! I would recommend to try uninstalling the software again, (in case their is still some software partially installed.) Uninstall the Printer Software. And, then try resetting the print system, and verifying and then reinstall the software using this direct link. Hope this helps! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Unable to print through Java program
Hi all,
I have downloaded a sample java code to print text. When i try to print on solaris, it displays some postscript characters like:
%! PS-Adobe-3.0%%BeginProlog/imStr 0 def /heximageSrc....
But i am able to print the same information through lp command correctly.
I am using EPSON - LP8200. As per my knowledge, this printer doesn't support postscript printing
The sample java code works perfectly on Win2k connected to the same printer.
Please help me out. I am stuckup in this problem for quite a few days

HP Officejet Pro 8610 - Unable to print windows 8.1
Hi ,
I've recently purchased HP Officejet Pro 8610 and unable to print from windows.
I am running 64bit Windows 8.1
I can print from Web via email
I can print using the HP AiO Remote app in windows. This doesnt have full functionality and is also inconvenient if I am working on documents and I want to print.
I have tried the following:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling from CD provided with printer
- Using the HP printer troubleshooter assistant, no success
- Downloading the software direct from HP website
- Updating the firmware using OJP8610_R1416A.exe
-Changing the port to the network port (in this case it is 192.168.0.200, it responds to a ping, also set the printer to have a static ip)
This is the error message that i get when i try to print a test page when i choose printer properties in the control panel
"test page failed to print. would you like to view the printer troubleshooter for assistance"
I have trawlled through other member's issues and i cant seem to find a fix for myself
Please help
Appreciation in advancedHi @binhdai & @JFB2014
I would like to help you both the best I can, and I appreciate the troubleshooting efforts you have both made up to this point. Please try the steps below and let me know the outcome;
1. Uninstall the software - Uninstalling the Printer Software Instructions.
2. Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box.
3. Type in "spool" and press Enter or select OK.
4. Select and open the Drivers folder, select the x64 folder if you have a 64-bit Operating System or the w32 x 86 if you have a 32-bit Operating System.
5. Open the 3 folder, locate the HPBXPSRENDER.DLL file and rename it into HPBXPSRENDER.OLD
6. Reinstall the printer; HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

PDF: Unable to print a document as PDF from APEX when using the BI Publishe
Hi,
From an APEX application, I am unable to print a document in a PDF format when using the Oracle BI Publisher.\
Here is the configuration:
1) Server A is W2K3 and hosts the Oracle BI Publisher server, with IP address ip01.
2) Server B is a OEL5.2 and hosts the database server of the APEX application, with IP address ip02.
3) Machine C is a W7 desktop from which through an URL both the APEX applicationn and the BI server are accessed, with IP address ip03.
4) The APEX application is configured with the following to use the Oracle BI Publisher:
- Printer server: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
- Printer server protocol: HTTP
- Printer server host address: ip01
- Printer server port: 9704
- Printer server script: /xmlpserver/convert
- Network services are enabled (at least I did get any warning/error message)
From C, I access the the APEX application through its URL, if I try to download a page by selecting PDF in the download section of the interative report section for that page, I am unable to open if and get the error:
<file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Yet, still from C, I am able to open any other PDF document.
The same way, still from C, acessing the APEX application through its URL, I have a query report defined with a PDF output format. Then, when I test the report (Test Report in the Report query) for that query, I get the error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
At first sight this could be a wong entry in the priinter configuration for APEX. But with this address, through the URL I can log in to the Oracle BI Publisher server.
Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for any tips.How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12
Hi All,
We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
RajaHi Raja,
I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"

I am unable to print to a Canon iR-Adv C5045 from a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) that is connected to Windows NT computer and shared on the company network. I am connected to the network by ethernet.
I was able to add the printer manually by going to Advanced, Windows printer via spoolss, smb://computer name/printer name and used the Canon iR-ADV C5045/5051 driver.
When I print it appears to be printing but nothing comes out. I checked the completed jobs from the Print Queue and the job is listed. Checked the print log on the printer and it isn't listed. Is there a different driver I should be using for this configuration?You may not have a choice as to what driver you can use. If the ADV C5045 only has the default UFR2 printer kit, then you will have to use the UFR2 driver - which is what you are using now. If you can access the copier, press the Counter Check button on the control panel. Then on the display you will see an entry labelled Check Device Configuration. Select this and scroll down through the pages. You are looking for an entry called PS. If you see it then the Canon does have the optional Postscript printer kit enabled and this will let you use an alternate driver. One suggestion would be to create the printer again using the same setting that you have done already but this time select the Generic Postscript driver included with the OS rather than use the Canon driver. This will help to determine if the driver is the cause.
If there is no PS option you will have to use the UFR2 driver and this could be the problem, as the Canon drivers don't always work well on a Mac via a Windows share. As a test, are you able to create a print queue directly to the Canon rather than via the Windows share? If you can, then this will let you check if the driver currently installed will work, as there can be settings on the copier that can block/stop you from printing. Assuming that you can print to the Canon with a direct connection from the Mac, then we can work on getting the printing via the shared queue. But if it doesn't print directly from the Mac, then it confirms that it may not be the server and more to do with the copier. -
Unable to print to Adobe printer in any program including Office 2010
My sustem is a Windows 7 64 bit. I have Office 2010 installed as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.3. I am unable to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If I select it in Notepad it is Greyed out. If I select it in an Office product like Word or Excel it shows that it is READY. However if I select it so I can print to PDF I get an error message "Word cannot print. There is no printer installed."
If I got to Devices and Printers Adobe PDF is listed. If I right click on it and select "Printing Preferences" I get an error message "Operation could not be completed."
If I select Printer Properties I get an error message "The "Adobe PDF Converter" printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
If I click YES a wizard pops up, the Add Printer Driver Wizard. I select Next, choose either any of the Adobe PDF Converter Versions or HAVE DISK, the NEXT. If I select have disk I go to the proper place "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" and select the file AdobePDF.inf. I then select the top Adobe PDF Converter and select Next. It says You have successfully completed the Add Printer Driver Wizard. You are about to add "Adobe PDF Converter, x64, Type - User Mode. I click Finish and get another error.
This error says "Unable to install Adobe PDF Converter, Type - User Mode, x64 driver. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)." I select OK and Adobe PDF Properties pops up. It has tabs like General, Sharing, Ports, Advanced, Color Management & Security. I can click on any of them and make any changes but once I click on OK and close the window and then Right Click on Adobe PDF there is no change to my results. I still get all of the above errors.
I have tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then selecting in Programs & Featues (Old ADD/REMOVE) the Adobe Acrobat X Pro item and right clicking on it and the selecting Change. It goes through almost a reinstall, it adds the Adobe Printer back but NO CHANGE. I still can't print to Adobe PDF.
Can someone help?Can you try 'Print as Image' (Advanced button on Print panel).

Unable to print to Canon iR 2380/2550 after upgrading to Mavericks
Hi all,
At work here in the UK, we upgraded our machines to Mavericks OS X 10.9 and since then have been unable to print to our office printer. The only work around we found so far was to print through Google Cloud, and only in black and white.
I have ready a lot of posts and tried different options and advice but no joy so far.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
GeorgeFor anybody having the same problem, one of our IT guys found the needed driver in the Australian Canon website - seem they have a lot more clout than US and UK customers.
Printing is now working as it should from my machine.

Edited by: user13536207 on Feb 13, 2012 12:46 AMFound the problem.
Paper size for those documents are actually A5 size.
Solve it by adjusting the Scale to paper size in the printing option to the size that our printer is set to printout
which in my case is 'Letter'
Hope this helps anyone who is encountering the same problem.
