Using Bluetooth on a C8180 All-in-One to print from Mac OS-X

Dear folks,
I have a new iMac and would like to be able to print from it to my 8180 AiO using bluetooth. My Mac sees the printer (it's paired), and the Mac has the latest print driver installed, and I've verified the bluetooth setup on the 8180, but nothing I do has enabled the printer to go "online" with bluetooth so that I can print. Of course, I've verified the printer is fine with a cable connection. Does anyone have any idea if this should work, and if so, what else I may need to do to make it work?
Please feel free to copy your responses directly to my email: <text removed for privacy>
Thanks.

did you ever get a response elsewhere? having the same issue with a c5550. no crash though, and it even shows up in the printer queue, but always say disconnected. tried to edit serial port options. says it's connected for a moment. try to print. still disconnected. green light goes off.

C8180 All in one not printing

I have a C8180 All in one that I can print an alignment paste from the desktop but nothing else. Running on Vista home premium.

HI ,
I noticed that you're experiencing issues when printing to your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer. I understand that the trouble started when you got a new computer. I would like to look into this for you today. We're looking at the possiblity that the new computer is interfering with the printer's IP Address on the Network. Let's see, if we can identify the cause. I see that you mentioned in your post, Wireless and Wired connection. How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/Wireless) Here's a document I would recommend that you try, An 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP Officejet Pro 251dw, 276dw, and 8600 Printer Series.
Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor to help identify and fix common problems when installing or using HP s on your home network. What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages). Note: You might need to follow this guide for both of the computers. I recommend following it to the end, and then try printing from both machines.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck!

Best all-in-one wireless printer for Mac 10.9.2

Looking for best wireless all-in-one for home use. I have Mac OSX 10.9.2, iPhone 5, iPad and a wireless network. Not technically inclined. Any recommendations?

I wish a few more users would take the time to share their experiences with printers. I have had a Canon MX870 for several years that is nothing but a perpetual headache -- it needs to be reconnected to the network three or four times a day or it simply will not print. There are lots of posts on this topic and I have tried every possible solution with no luck. I am reluctant to buy another Canon -- this experience has left me doubting their products. I am also reluctant, based on past experience, to consider an HP product. So that pretty much leaves Epson -- but which Epson? I am looking for an all-in-one wireless printer that will STAY CONNECTED to the network. Top-quality printing would be nice, but frankly, it's not on the top of my priority list. I just want to be able to use the printer, scanner and copier without wasting an hour of my day on maintenance. If you have had positive experience in this regard, please take a few seconds to post your recommendations. Thanks. (I am running the latest version of Mavericks on a new Mac Pro.)

HP Photosmart e-all-in-one NOT PRINTING for MAC 10.9.2

Hi,
I have a HP Photosmart e-all-in-one wireless that I have been using for my Apple devices (Mac, iphone, ipad) for years and recently it started giving me problems.
First month or so ago, out of nothing the MacBookPro would not see the printer connected, in dispite of been connected to the network. During that time I was able to find it connected from my iphone & ipad. Then I was using to print from these last two.
Now, not even from my iphone & ipad. It seems that printer does not exist at all, coz it always says "printer not connected" on the MacBook and "No AirPrint Printers Found" on the ipad & iphone.
I've noticed that on HP website, the most updated version of the Mac is 10.9 and my devices has 10.9.2 Is this the problem? If so, how can I get by and continue to use the printer? I need to print ASAP.
Thanks,
eb

Getting HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One to print from wireless network?

I have the printer, via USB cable, hooked up to my desktop. I have both my desktop and my wife's notebook hooked up to our wireless network via Cisco Linksys WUSB600N USB adapters. Using Cisco Linksys WRT610N router. The Best Buy sales person said as long as I had the printer hooked up to my desktop and my desktop was on or in sleep mode that we could print from my wife's notebook. I have added the printer driver to the notebook. Now I cannot even get a test sheet to print using my wife's notebook. The printer still prints from my desktop. Do I have to hook the printer up to the router via USB cable to get this to work or what? This wireless thing is still a bit new to me. Any help, suggestions and/or answers will be greatly appreciated. I eagerly await your helpful replies. Thanks!

I know I'm likely bumping an old topic...but hopefully this will help someone else.
This *is* possible.
The best way is to enable sharing on the primary (desktop computer that sleeps.) computer after installing it properly on the desktop. Find out the IP address that your modem has assigned to this computer, save it!
Then, on the laptop, go into the "run" menu and type in the IP address of your desktop, starting with "\\."
(So, if your IP is, 123.456.7.890. You would type into the run box of your laptop, "\\123.456.7.890" without the quotes.)
At this point, you may be prompted for a username and password on your laptop. Simply put in any username and password that you have on the desktop when you first start the desktop up. (If a menu requesting username and password does not appear, simply move on.) I would advise you to check the box labeled "Save this information."
At this point a new window should appear, it will show all network resources available to you on the desktop. If you've shared the files properly on the desktop, the printer should be showing in this menu. Simply double-click on the printer that you wish to use, and voila! Your laptop should install all of the required drivers and be connected. Be forewarned, your printer must connect directly through to the desktop computer. DO NOT have the printer connect through a USB hub before it reaches the desktop, this may cause communication issues later on.
There's really a bunch of guides out there on this type thing, but you do have to search for them. I hope that I managed to help you and anyone else out there that's wondering the same but can't drop money on a printer that's brand new.
(Lastly...if it doesn't want to print. Restart both the desktop and printer. Most of the time that fixes it.)

Using HP psc 1210 All-in-One to print from Wordperfect 11

I just purchased a new HP 64-Bit computer and a new copy of Wordperfect 11. I hooked everything up and installed the new program, but I can't get my printer to print correctly. I tried installing all the newest updates and any service packs offered for Wordperfect but it still won't work. It will print, but the image is distorted and it only does it with the Wordperfect program. Please help since I use the program for my small business.

No one can help me!?

How to use Epson Workforce 635 all-in-one to print from iPad2?

Have no idea how to connect iPad2 to the printer and was unable to find printer when chose Print. Wireless networking has been set up (tested w/ a PC). Pls help.

That printer does not support AirPrint, so you cannot print natively from the iPad. You'll have to use a third party app like print n share or Printopia. They are in the app store.

Officejet All In One 6600 - Print from all Laptops but not Desktop

I got this printer for Xmas and have spent hours trying installing, reinstalling using Scan/Print Doctor software, etc. I run a home network through Uverse Gateway. The router is a 2Wire 3800HGV-B. I am not runing a firewall on my desktop just A/v Avira. I can ping the printer successfully from my laptop, but just can't print to it, Running Win 7. Connected to network through Ethernet cable to router.
The printer is gryed out. When I go to device manager I find that it has a Code 28 stating driver is not installed. When I try and install the basic driver the OJ6600 exe file just hangs on Checking Netowork Environment.
In one of my previous installations I did get it to work through a USB cable, but find it totally impractical (distance) and part of the whole reason we got a wireless. I now save docs on flash drive, take them to Laptop to print. Have called support with no luck. Most recently changed ports, but realize something does not allow the driver to install which I can not figure out.

OK, print off a network configuration page.
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
Touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
Touch Setup ( ).
Touch Network .
Touch the Down Arrow ( ), and then touch Print Network Configuration.
NOTE:
Your product's printed configuration page might look different than the example in the following figure.
Figure 8: Example of the Network Configuration Page
Image: An example of a Network Configuration Page
After this open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type in the IP address it gives you on the network configuration page, and then hit enter.
This will bring you to the printers EWS. Once you're on the page go to the tools tab, and then scroll down and select print self-test page.
Let me know if it prints the test page out.

Photosmart premium all in one wont print from SD card

Photosmart premium reads my SD card, and says 398 photos found, then it displays photos for a second or two and then display reverts back to View and Print without giving me tha opportunity to select and print pictures. I performed a power reset and that did not help.

To make sure the printer is reset properly, do these steps:
1. Unplug the power from the back of the printer.
2. Press and hold '3' and '#' buttons.
3. Plug power back in while holding those buttons.
4. Release buttons after about 10 seconds.
Try reading the card again. If it does not read, then try reading a different card. It may have something to do with the individual card if another card reads correctly.

Can my hp photosmart all-in-one 7200 printer connect to ipad 2 via bluetooth?

I have a hp photosmart all-in-one 7200 printer with a hp blue tooth dongle. It works well with my cameras, but I cannot get my ipad 2 to recognize the printer.

Hi,
Printing via Bluetooth from an iPad is not possible due to iOS limitations, as Apple did not include the Bluetooth printing protocol in the iOS.
If your printer is HP Photosmart C7200, you may use the HP ePrint Home & Biz App to print from your iPad through your home network
However for the Officejet 7200 your only option is to look for any available 3rd party printing solution from the App Store.

Hello Gr8fulbuck, I see you are having an issue with your printer and I would like to help.
I just need some information from you first. Do you have your printer plugged directly into a wall outlet? Have you power reset your printer? Have you tried to plug it in to a different wall outlet? Have you tried using a different power cable?
Which model of printer do you have?

Photosmart c8180 all-in-one shuts down-restarts repeatedly

My Photosmart c8180 all-in-one shuts down-restarts itself repeatedly. Blue screen message B367A5E0. Have Window XP. Have not been able to locate a description of this error message.

Hi there 57nomad,
To make sure this is not software related try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

Are there any updates so i can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One Printer wirelessly?

just wondering..are there any updates for the iMac with OS X (10.8.2) so I can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One (Print,Scan,Copy)?

Hi,
An HP Full Feature Software is not available for Mountain Lion, therefore the Wireless configuration is tricky and cannot be done through the software.
To connect the printer to your wireless network you will need to create a temporary wireless ad hoc connection, then the wireless connection to your router can be configured via the EWS page:
Step one: Restore the printer's network default settings
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless / Scan .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Menu .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Settings .
Use the up and down ATM buttons ( ) to select Restore Network Defaults , and then press OK .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Yes to confirm your selection.
Step two: Networkly connect the Mac to the printer by creating a temporary ad-hoc connection
From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Click Join other network.
Click Show Networks.
Select the printer's SSID, it should be listed as HPSETUP or should contain HP or C4700 within its name.
Click Connect
Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
Step three: Connect the printer to your router via the EWS page
Open Safari.
Click the Bookmarks icon ()
Click Bonjour.
Double click the printer name, the EWS page appears.
Open the Networking tab.
From the left pane select Wireless.
Click the Start Wizard button and follow the steps to connect the printer to your router.
Step four: Reconnect the Mac to your router
From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Click Join other network.
Click Show Networks.
Select your router SSID.
Click Connect
Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
Now the printer should be connected to your network.
Open Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and add the printer listed as Bonjour.
btw John Galt - I this it should be spelled as OS X, please correct me if i'm wrong.. ;-)
Hope that helps,
Shlomi

How to get our HP Officejet 7310 All-in-One to print using the network option

The network printing initially stopped working on Win XP. I now use Win 7 Enterprise.
I have uninstalled the printer from my PC, restarted the machine, went through the add new printer device wizard and still no network printing capability.
I currently use the workaround of the USB connection for printing from one PC.

Have you tried running the Network Diagnostics tool to see if your printer is on the network.
The tool is Here
