Wireless connect to HP1025 colour printer via Mac Yosemite (10.10.1)

Since upgrading to OS 10.10,1 I can no longer wirelessly print to my HPCP 1025. i tried connecting my Mac via USB to the printer - that works and prints. Whlst connected to the printer via USB I tried to get an update for a wireless print driver from the Mac App store - it didn't find one.
My Mac is displaying my printer in the WiFi dropdown menu and there is a clear, strong signal but my Mac is not connecting to it. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Have you tried powercycling your printer, router, and Mac? Have you tried updating the printer firmware? Also, you may want to verify that your router is configured to properly forward bonjour packets.

MG8120 Wi-Fi connects (Uverse). PC connects. Unable to print via wireless.??????

The Printer will connect to the wireless (Uverese) router no problem. Same with my PC.  The problem is with printing in the wireless LAN mode.  I can plug in and print via USB, but that defeats the purpose.  I changed ISP recently and had a hard wired cable modem and a  wireless router that I plugged the printer into and printed via the connection from the PC to the router.  Now everything is wireless. The catch is the printer is one room and the modem is in another. The only way I am able to print is to hook up the PC to the printer, not why I purchased a Wi-Fi printer. Windows 8 by the way.
Thanks

Accessing windows shared printer via mac over wireless

So i want to share my deskjet 812c thats attached to my pc and be able to print via my MBP over wireless. I simply shared teh printer in windows, but have yet been able to figure it out, or to get it to work. It seems that the MBP will not see the printer, so any advice or any walk throughs would be appreciated.
Thanks

To connect to a shared Windows printer, open the Printer Setup Utility and click More Printers. For the new window, click the drop-down and select Windows Printing and then Network Neighborhood. The workgroup name that has been configured in the Windows computer should display. Double-click the workgroup name and then select the computer name from the new list. A new window will appear asking you to enter your Windows account name and password. Enter these details and click OK. Select the printer share name from the list and then for the Printer Model, browse to HP and then to the Deskjet 812C. If this model is not listed, download a copy of Gutenprint 5.0.0 for Mac OS X (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3). This has the 812C which you can use for network printing. With the 812C selected, click Add.
Note that if you are not prompted to authenticate to the Windows computer, then this can impact your ability to connect to shares, especially on XP SP2. You will need to either enable the Guest account or create an account on the Windows computer for the MacBook.

Re: Mac OS 10.6 user. New HP P1102w. Cannot get the wireless feature to work. Prints via usb ok

sorry to resurrect this issue, but I have reinstalled all drivers and updated firmware, but cannot connect wirelessly. The set up is fine, but the bonjour version of the printer only lasts 1 second before going away. I have had this product for a while and struggled when I first got it with this issue. Finally i just accepted the fact that I bought a wireless product that needed to be hard wired. Guess i should have saved some money or bought from a different company. Now my 2 year old is mulling around and I need to wirelessly connect my printer in a location he cannot reach.
Please help me with this problem or I will be forced to PC Load Letter this printer.

Printing to windows printer via mac - am i being stupid?

I really don't get this. I've just bought my 1st mac, a macbook pro, to replace my old windows laptop. I also have a windows pc, with an Epson USB printer attached to it, as well as the windows desktop being connect via ethernet to a netgear wireless router/modem. When i have the windows laptop i could print wirelessly via the windows desktop without problems, with the mac! no chance. I can connect to the windows desktop wirelessly so long as i connect via the finder/go/connect to server option as it doesn't show under finder/shared sidebar, but can't access the printer. I installed bonjour for windows today but running the printer wizard on the desktop doesn't show any bonjour printers, yet the printer is connected directly to the desktop via usb. Am i misunderstanding what this is all about. I just want to print from my mac, wirelessly via the PC. And yes the printer is shared.
Can anyone advise, I'm really at a loss

Hi iVirtual, what Mac OS are you running, Leopard (10.5.4) or Tiger (10.4.11)? Also, is your printer directly attached to your pc or is it a network printer directly on the local area network? One last question, do you have a firewall (like Trend Micro or Norton Internet Security) on your PC?
From my Mac running Leopard, I have no problem printing to a printer directly attached to my WindowsXP machine. However, I don't have the same luck from my Tiger Machines.
When I print to any networked printer (by that I mean printers directly attached to the network) from the WindowsXP machine with SP3, I always have to use the IP address. The printer.local name no longer works since I installed SP3.
simonparker, If your printer is directly attached to your PC using a USB cable, I don't think you'll be able to see it with the Bonjour Printer Wizard application. Since your printer is shared, you might check your WORKGROUP name on your PC. Something you might check is this:
Do you have a password on your user account on the PC? You'll probably need a password on your PC account. I don't think you can share anything if you don't have a password (I could be wrong, but it has never worked for me without a password).
On leopard, when I added the printer to the Mac I did this:
1) bring up System Preferences/Print&Fax
2) Press the + sign under the printer list, when the add window pops up, choose the "Windows" icon and you should see your workgroup name in the left list.
3) Choose the workgroup and it should populate with your machine name.
4) Select the machine name in the middle list and you should get a login and password dialog box.
5) Enter your PC's Username and Password.
6) You should see a list of shared printers in the right most list.
7) Select the printer and then select the driver.
Your printer should now be configured on the Mac. I know that I had to enter my PC's user name and password several times before I could print.

Connecting HP LaserJet P3015 printer (via Cat5e) to Extreme base

I've configured my network (thanks to the help of this forum):
Airport Extreme Base station (extended by Airport Express).
My laptops (connected wirelessly) run OS10.7.5. I am using Airport Utility 6.3.1
I am attempting to configure an HP LaserJet P3015n (which apparently is part of the HP3010 series) via ethernet cable. I've connected the ethernet cable from Airport Extreme to printer.
Previously, I had successfully configured the HP3015n via USB cable when my Airport Express was my "main" base station.
But now I'm unable, since configuring the Airport Extreme as my main base station and the printer via Cat5e cable, to get the HP3015n recognized via Print & Scan in the Sys Prefs or through the printer window (e.g. when you print a doc via MS Word).
I read this Apple Support Doc: "OS X Mountain Lion: Set up an IP printer" (even though I'm using 10.7.5) to see if I could glean some info.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11478?viewlocale=en_US
What I've done or noted:
1) removed the old p3015n listing from that I had configured via USB in case something needs to be reset
2) selected the 3015n printer (via the + sign) and tried to add software drivers for it. I select the 3015n printer as the one listed "nearby" printer (and I wonder if that printer is coming up because it was previously configured on my network or if this is a "fresh" "sighting" by my network? When I do attempt to download software for it, Apple at first reports that the software is avail but after what seems to be an attempted download, that it can't be installed.
3) I note that the HP printer address (which I gleaned form the printer's LCD screen) is 10.0.1.9
4) The driver appears to be named 3010 even though the printer is 3015. Previously I had installed the 3010 driver and that is the name by which the printer has previously been recognized.
5) I was able to printer out some pages on the printer via the LCD screen with all kinds of info. Including an "Embedded Jetdirect page," "Embedded Protocol page," and a "Configuration page." My understanding from reading a few Apple Support Docs previously is that Jetdirect is among the ways that I can configure the printer. So maybe that is one way?
Thanks for your time and insights!

Most older HP LaserJets must be assigned a new static IP address any time the router changed. Based on the excellent information in this thread and others, I compiled a complete protocol for doing this and in particular when using a newer (2013) Airport Extreme. My printer is an HP LaserJet 4050N.
Connect the LaserJet to one of the Airport Extreme's ethernet LAN ports using a Cat5e cable.
Open the Airport Utility
Click on the Icon of the base station to confirm the LAN IP address (usually 10.0.1.1).
Click the Edit button and then the Internet menu to display the Subnet Mask (usually 255.255.240.0).
Close by clicking Cancel.
On the LaserJet
Click the green ‘GO’ button until the display reads ‘Offline’
Click ‘MENU’ 7 times or until ‘EIO 2 JETDIRECT MENU’ shows
Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘CFG NETWORK=NO *’ is displayed
Press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘YES’
Press ‘SELECT’
Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘CFG TCP/IP=NO*’ is displayed
Press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘YES’
Press ‘SELECT’
Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘BOOTP=NO’ is displayed (or press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘NO’ and then press ‘SELECT’)
Press ‘ITEM’ button until
‘IP BYTE 1=XXX’ is displayed and where I have put ‘XXX’ using the ‘VALUE’ button enter the first number of the ‘IP’ address displayed in ‘Airport Utility’ (usually 10).
Repeat this procedure for ‘BYTE 2, 3 AND 4’ by using entering a value each time using the ‘VALUE’ button and then pressing ‘SELECT’ before finally moving onto the next ‘IP BYTE’ value using the ‘ITEM’ button.
After all of the ‘IP’ values have been entered pressing the ‘ITEM’ button will display ‘SM BYTE 1=XXX’ – this is the ‘Subnet Mask’ value. Follow the same process as for the ‘IP’ address and enter the values given in the ‘Ethernet’ pane in ‘Network’ under ‘System Preferences’.
After entering the final ‘Subnet Mask (SM)’ value (BYTE 4) press ‘SELECT’ and finally press the green ‘GO’ button.
Open System Preferences and click on "Print & Scan".
Click on the ‘+’ tab on the left of the ‘Printers’ Pane.
Click on the ‘IP’ tab.
From the drop down 'Protocol' menu select 'Line Printer Daemon'.
In the Address field enter the ‘IP’ values that you entered in the printer except change the last digit (usually 1) to 100 (usually 10.0.1.100). (The base station can manage more than 100 IP values and this ensures the first 99 other assigned IPs will not conflict.)
In the 'Print Using' menu choose a Driver/Model (if an appropriate one is not set automatically).
Click ‘Add’.
Close the 'Print & Scan' window.
The Printer name will appear as the IP address you assigned in the 'Printer' pull down menu in the Print window of your applications. Select it to print to that printer.

Photoshop: Printing: via Mac from printer on Windows 7

Hi all,
First off - if you know a better place I should be posting this question, please inform.
I'm trying to print from Photoshop onto a printer connected via a windows computer. I've tried everything and am nearly at the point of paying somebody 40 bucks to just set it up for me. This is a pain since I have to interrupt the person working at the windows computer just to send an order to print.
Printer: Epson Stylus Pro 9600 Ultrachrome Ink
Connected to: Windows 7 Computer
Shared to: iMac 10.8.3
Set windows to workgroup
Made sure workgroup same name in Mac
Set all shared settings in Windows to everyone and allowed everyone to make all changes
Set printer sharing settings to everyone and allow to print/manage.
Tried connecting printer from Mac finder: Go > Connect to Server > smb://[IP address] AND smb://[user@computer]/users
Tried connecting printer from Print & Scan section of System Preferences: + > Windows > workgroup > jim-pc (computer name). It asks me for a name and password at this point. No name and password combination works. Tried "guest" "guest" and that seemed to work until I tried printing. Instead of completing the print job it states something like "Waiting for Authorization". I tried authorizing as "guest" "guest" but the print disappears from the queue.
Tried connecting from Print & Scan: + > Advanced > Type: LPD/LPR Host of Printer, Device: Another Device, URL: "Ipd://[IP Address]. Left name as IP address. Tried Generic PostScript Printer - didn't work. Tried Epson S9600 drive (updated it)- didn't work. Tried Generic PCL Printer and it actually printed a test page! It left the printer running like it was thinking, though. When I went to print from Photoshop it no longer worked and I couldn't print a test page. I tried the same thing with changing the name to no avail.
I'm completely at a loss. I've gone over all of the options I've found on other forums. I spent 6+ hours (yep) trying to figure this out on the weekend. If anyone has any ideas, helpful links and/or step-by-step guides I would be grateful. If you need more information or you're part of a site like crossloops and want that $40... I think I'm at that point now!
Thanks for reading,
Riley

You will need a print server software on your Windows machine. There is no way to print directly via a Windows share from Mac.

Connecting Canon LBP9100cdn Laser printer via ethernet/wifi hub

I have connected my Canon LBP9100cdn Laser printer via ethernet through a modem hub. We can connect either through direct ethernet hard connection or wifi, on OS10.8.3. Occasionally it just stops finding the printer. Have latest CUPS driver, have reset printing system and reinstalled driver and reinstalled printer. Turned printer off and on. Sometimes it takes a few goes to get the right random sequence, but this time I just can't get it to connect. Other computers on the system, both ethernet hard wired and wifi can still connect- all on the same operating system.

When you get this lost connection, try opening Safari (or web browser of choice) and enter the IP address of the 9100 as the URL. This should connect to the internal web page of the printer. If this does connect, then see if you can resume the queue to print again. In theory, if the print queue on the Mac pauses, then the web browser test should also fail to connect to the printer.

Restrict printing via MAC address

I am currently using Mac OS 10.2 server and now we are considering upgrading to 10.4 because of better printer servers. We don't current use the server software for printer serves. We would like to have the ability to restrict printing to the printer via the computers MAC address. Is this possible via server 10.4?
Thanks in advance
Jason
PowerG4 dual G4 - 400mhz Mac OS X (10.2.x) OS 10.2 server

You could use the firewall to block certain IP addresses from printing.
You can ensure certain computers receive consistent IP adddresses via DHCP using Server Admin > DHCP > Settings > Static Maps which depends on MAC addresses.

HP 1220C PS PRINTER WITH MAC YOSEMITE 10.10

MY HP1220C PS WILL ONLY PRINT BLACK WITH MAC SYSTEM (ABOVE) -- IS THERE ANY SOFTWARE AVAILABLE
THAT I COULD USE TO MAKE IT PRINT IN COLOR ?? TKS -- WINJE

I had, and still suffer the exact same problem.
I've got a late 2009 iMac that came pre loaded with Snow Leopard. which supports the printer. The only way to ensure you get colour printing on a 1220C in Yosamite is to wipe the iMac, install Snow Leopard as the base OS, install the printer then go through the life draining steps of upgrading to Yosamite via Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks. A dogs breafast I grant you!
I've tried to locate the printer driver on my time machine, or like you a new or alternate one so I can bypass the whole gradual install process and dump the driver where it needs to live but have yet to find it.
If someone else has a better work around please let me know as I'm almost to the point of throwing out a perfectly good printer if I ever have to rebuild my iMac again.

My wireless connection to my HP printer keeps failing

I recently got a Macbook Pro and upgraded our printer to a wireless HP one. Since I installed it to work wirelessly it has worked for a short time and then the Macbook says it cannot find the printer or cannot connect to the printer, even though the printer is on and connected to the wireless network.
I have removed the printer from my print & scan settings and reinstalled - it connected fine for around 10 minutes and then lost the connection again. This morning having deleted it again, it was detected as a nearby printer and I'm able to print. However this dropping connection and having to keep deleting and detecting the printer is annoying.
Five minutes later and the connection is gone again - the printer is on and functioning perfectly but my print settings show it as idle and when I try to print it just hangs and says cannot connect. I have pinged it successfully and it does appear in my Bonjour bookmarks.
From what I'm reading on this supprt forum it seems that many different makes of wireless printers have this problem with the Lion OS. I'm wondering if this is the case or is it something I'm doing wrong? Until I read all the different threads I was intending to exchange my printer but it seems that may not fix the problem.
Any advice with this would be really appreciated.

With you being able to ping the printer and connect to the internal web page of the HP via the Bonjour bookmark, then I would agree that exchanging the printer may not fix the problem.
If you connect to the internal web page of the printer, does it provide a section where you can see the signal strength and or quality? This may give some clues as to how well it is connected to the wireless network.
Another thing you could do is check if you can connect to the printer using an IP protocol like HP Jetdirect-Socket instead of Bonjour. If the printer does support this then it may prove more stable than Bonjour.

Windows Cannot Connect to Canon MP530 Printer via AEBSn

OK, here's my setup, and my problem:
1. Mac mini, Windows Vista PC, Windows XP PC all connected to an AEBSn via Ethernet.
2. Bonjour for Windows installed on both PCs.
3. Ministack w/built-in powered USB2.0 Hub & Internal HDD connected to AEBSn's USB port.
3. External HDD in USB 2.0 enclosure attached to Ministack via USB port.
4. Canon MP530 Printer connected to Ministack via USB port.
I can read and write to the Minstack's internal HDD and the other External HDD from any computer on the network, no problem. I can print to the printer from the Macintosh. But I CANNOT print from the Windows PC.
I can, allegedly, see the printer from the Windows machines and add it via Bonjour. I have also tried to add it via the method listed at iFelix's website (i.e. adding a printer by creating a new TCP/IP printer port). But nothing works.
Here is what happens: everything "appears" to work and the printer shows up on the Windows machines and in fact quite often once it is set up I can print a test page. However, once I try to use the machine later on, after the initial set-up it never works, this has happened now over about 15-20 cycles of installing, uninstalling, and re-installing the printer.
What I notice happens by looking at the Windows printer queue when i send a document to the printer in Windows is the following:
1. Sometimes the print dialog will simply say something like "Checking printer status" and just freeze there and nothing prints.
2. Sometimes it will add the document to the queue and then immediately delete it and nothing prints.
3. Quite often it will simply say something like "Printer is not responding" or "Printer is offline" and the print job just sits in the queue and nothing prints.
4. Sometimes, and I am not joking, the document will print out minutes later, inexplicably, once ten minutes later after the computer was turned off!
This is maddening and I would love a solution, even if that solution is ditch the Canon and buy "insert printer name" or "known working printer", because at this point I just need to print from the network with some consistency. I can print from any computer if the Canon is directly connected, but that is a horrible process of plugging and unplugging USB cables, and this is SUPPOSED to work.
Also, I would note that I am not adverse to using a switch with the printer, and would prefer an auto switch if anyone knows one that is know to work with PCs and Mac. I would prefer one that did not take an Ethernet port (like the new Belkin one) as I need all three of them for wired connections.
Any help greatly appreciated as I have been battling this problem for many days now with no help, and the Apple Geniuses at my local store could not provide a solution or even recommend a printer that was known to work with Windows via the AEBSn.

Thanks, Arimaris!
Appreciate the response!
Your first link should be: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/8013.html
That is the link for the compatibility list for the NEWER AEBSn, the one you provided is for the older base station. I've seen this list before and the problem is that most of the printers are older there, and hard to find, and there is no certainty that if you do buy that older printer it will workk as the disclaimer on the article reads: "Please also note that due to changes in firmware and software upgrades some printers which are in this list may no longer in fact be compatible."
I would love to see an OFFICIAL lost from Apple about which printers are KNOWN to work with the AEBSn via USB, but I am thinking they might not do that so as not to anger their partners who cannot seem to make their printers function properly via Windows.
I've also tried the method mentioned in your second link, many times, and it does not work for me, either consistently or reliably. I've gotten the printer to work that way (creating a new printer port via TCP/IP w/ AEBS IP addy) maybe once or twice, usually right after I set it up, and then immediately after the test print, or after a restart, it stops working. I've also had it not work after set-up. I've also experienced the "It doesn't work, walk away, and then it prints 15 mins later" syndrome, with this approach. Also, it is a pain to later delete this new TCP/IP port and try again.
Something has got to give, someone has got to know the answer to this problem. I valiantly tried to get answers from the "experts" and "geniuses" at MacWorld this month, to no avail. Sorry you are experiencing the same, I feel your pain.

HT1433 connecting hp 4000 n printer to mac os x 10.6.8

I recently acquired a HP Laserjet 4000 N printer and I cannot seem to figure out how to print.
I have connected the printer to my Imac via an ethernet connection but the computer still does not seem to recognize the printer.
Can somebody help walk me through how to setup the printer?
I know the printer is old but when I look in the drivers, I see HP Laserjet 4000.
Please help!

By connecting this HP printer directly to your iMac by Ethernet, both the iMac and the printer need to be on the same IP subnet in order for the iMac to "find" it. The JetDirect Print Server, a networking interface device for this printer, was designed to be connected to a wired router or Ethernet switch ... not directly to a computer.
Since this printer was built in the late 90's, the installation CD does not include OS X printer drivers, but even OS X Lion has a printer driver for the HP 4000 that may work.
When adding this printer to your Mac, you would need to select the IP Printer option for the printer type from System Preferences. Since this printer is connected directly to your Mac, you will also need to use the printer's control panel to assign it a static IP address that is in the same subnet (10.0.n.n, 172.n.n.n, or 192.n.n.n) as your Mac. Better still, I would recommend that you get a wired router and connect both your Mac and the printer to it.

Wirelessly connecting HP Photosmart 7510 printer to 64-bit Windows 7 computer

I'm setting up a new printer, and I have never printed wirelessly before. The printer is connected to the wireless network, but the computer can't find it. The printer's wireless network test results show that wireless is working. When I install the HP photosmart software on the computer, and it gets to the "Network Check" window, it just stalls there without finding any printers. Obviously, the computer is connected to the wireless network because I'm posting this online. Seems like the problem is with the printer driver software? I also tried downloading the Home Network Diagnostic Utility. From there I was able to go to the printer page and print a test page. However, I still can't print anything from the computer. If I try to add a printer in the control panel, when I search for network printers the same thing happens. It just stalls there without finding anything. Using task manager to end the program is the only way to close the window once it gets stuck. Any ideas?

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE!
I had turned off my virus protection and firewall, and was still unable to connect to the printer, or ping it.
I could successfully ping the printer from my router, so I turned the router off and back on, re-configured the wireless setup on the printer, and I am able to connect and print again!
Even though I could connect the printer to the router, and all of my computers were connected to the internet, something on the router was preventing me from connecting to the printer that was connected to the same network.
So I've learned that I have a printer that works fine, but I own a crappy router. Hopefully this can help someone else.
