Wireless Print failure with 2575/Vista

I am trying to get my wife;s laptop to print through wireless to a 2575.
Network
Netgear 3300 router feeding Cisco swith
MAchines
HP desktop XP  - ethernet
Linux desktop - ethernet
Dell laptop Linux - wireless
HP DVR9000 laptop - wireless
Printers
HP Laserjet 4 -Netgear pc100 print server ( I know it is old, but it keeps on working)
Samsung CLP Color Laser - ethernet
HP 2575 - ethernet
All machines except the HP9000 can print fine to the 2575 including the Linux wireless laptop. All other functions of the 2575 work ok on the HP9000; scanning, scan to, copying from SD, etc. The HP9000 can print to either of the other 2 printers and also the HP 8000 at her office.
Any print job sent to the 2575 from the HP9000 just goes into the spool until it finally errors. I downloaded/installed the Vista install software and the connection patch for Vista from the HP support site.  No luck.
Bad as I hated to, I even used MS Fixit to try to resolve this. Just don't know where to go from here. I am not real great with MS trouble shooting anyway.
Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated, as my wife want's to  print her pictures.

Try installing a wireless print server.

  • Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

    Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

    Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme.  Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE:  The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods.  However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

  • Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

    I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
    Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
    When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
    I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
    Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
    "the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
    and
    "the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
    The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
    Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
    Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
    Thank you

    1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
    2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
    3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
    If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
    FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
    Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
    You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

  • Printing to a Linksys Wireless Print Server with my MAC

    have a small home network using an ATT DSL modem-router. I have several PCs hardwired to the router and 1 older MAC wireless. I have a MAC G4 laptop and a Dell laptop (my wife's) also connected wirelessly and all work well. I have added a Linksys wireless print server today and am able to get my wife's laptop to print easily and reliable as does the hardwired Dell. What I need is to get my MAC laptop to print wirelessly as well. I have tried all the options in the printer set-up but it does not see the print server. Linksys does not support MAC and there are no MAC drivers for the print server to download that I know of. Does anyone know of a fix on how I could configure this equipment so I can print wirelessly from my MAC laptop. Or perhaps bypass the print server and print using the modem-router and the same printer. I would appreciate any suggestions one could lend. Thanks much.
    Power Book G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.10) Virtual PC capable

    Looking at figure 8-5 and the text to its left in the User Guide.
    Click Add in Printer Setup, then select IP printer > IPP. Enter the print server's IP address AND queue name P1. With that info filled in OS X has all it needs to address the printer on the print server.
    Download and install the CUPS driver version 1.1.0, and choose it when you Add in Printer Setup.

  • HP LJ4mv wireless printer worked with OS 10.5.5 but not with 10.6.3 - help!

    My ancient HP worked with 10.4.11 and 10.5.1 thru 10.5.5 wirelessly. With 10.5.6 thru 10.5.8 installed, the printer did ot work and only the Adobe printer appeared in the Printer/Fax setup. With 10.5.5, I was experiencing random horizontal gray lines, polygons with gradient colors (cyan and magenta) flashing on and off and smeared dialog boxes and drop down menues. So, I upgraded to 10.5.8 and lost the artifacts and my wireless printer. All drivers are current (Software Update delivered/installed updated drivers today.)
    10.6.3 is now installed and I still do not have a wireless printer. The Adobe PDF printer pops up and in the Printer/Fax dialog, it indicates "Kind" as HP LaserJet 4V/4MV Postscript. The Default button is active but all other buttons are grayed out and my printer does not appear.
    Summary: the printer works, the wireless router works and the drivers are current.
    Q. How can I get my wireless printer back? I need it badly.
    Thanks.
    Leonard

    Kappy, thx.
    The driver that is appearing now with the Adobe printer worked fantastically with 10.5.5, HP LaserJet 4V/4MV Postscript. This is from Apple, I believe. My printer does not show up when + is selected in the Print & Fax dialog and the Printer Name/Kind list appears. Only the Adobe is there.
    I d'l'd/instld the Gutenprint. I cannot select it until the printer appears in the Printer Name/Kind field.
    What is SL? :S
    Greg, thx.
    The printer is cat 5 to the ISP's wireless router and I am wireless. This has always worked up to 10.5.5. I incrementally d'l'd os upgrades 10.5.6, 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 and found the printer would not appear when I tried to add it. With Leopard, up to 10.5.5, my printer appeared automatically and I just had to make a selection from the "Print Using:" drop down.
    Bruce, thx.
    AppleTalk was a part of the setup and in 10.6, I cannot find AppleTalk. So you may be right about the IP route. Would Apple change this in the middle of Leopard with 10.5.6 (it worked up to 10.5.5) and not with 10.5.0 or 10.6.0? Would there not be an announcement that AppleTalk printer support was ending? No one in these forums knows that AppleTalk printer support was ended (I first posted in the Leopard forums)?
    Sorry for the skepticism. I just did not think this was a possiblity but maybe you are right.
    Is there a way to get an Apple reading on this? Should I set up a print server for wireless access? Any other suggestions?
    Thanks again all. I much appreciate your help.

  • HP Officejet 4500 Wireless Printing Issues with Online Maps & Financial Institutions

    I have an HP Officejet 4500 Wireless printer that I have wireless connection to my HP G72 Laptop running Windows 7 (64 bit) with Internet Explorer 9.  I am having trouble printing online maps from either Bing Maps or Google Maps.  It seems the print jobs get stuck in the print que and always show an indefinite status of “Printing” in the que but never get printed.
    I’ve tested my other applications including Office 2010 and all other jobs seem to print just fine.  I do use the “Print” button located in each of the online Map sites (Bing, Google).  This is when the jobs get stuck.
    I do also have the HP Bing Bar installed with Smart Print.  The Smart Print feature seems to work with the online maps just fine (seems I’ll just use it instead).
    Another separate printing issue is that I can never get any of my online financial transactions to print from any of my online financial institutions with either the Internet 9 print features or the HP Bing Smart Print feature.  I can never get those to print (have to wait for the PDF statements to be available).
    Any ideas as to why I can print the maps or online financial transaction?  I get no error messages either.

  • Wireless printing - problem with MAC integration

    Hi everybody.
    Just bought a Macbook pro and cannot get it to recognize my printer.
    Devices within network:
    - Belkin WLAN Router
    - HP Laserjet CM1312 multifunctional printer - with HP 2101nw wireless G (printing and even scanning works fine wireless!)
    - Acer Notebook with XP Home (used to set up the 2101 wireless)
    - Acer Netbook with XP Home (added later to network, no problem with printing, setup took 5 min)
    Antivirus software: Avira Premium Security Suite on both XP's
    WPA-PSK encryption, no mac filtering.
    The Macbook can access internet, but nothing happens when I try to print. I wanted to stop the hassle that Windows is causing occasionally. Frustrating experience with the Mac so far.
    Can anybody help?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I have removed the printer, and added again - a couple of times. I was not sure what protocol to chose (LPD, IPP, Socket). 
    I took your advice and tried, but with the right click (ctrl pressed), nothing happens. The normal window for the print queue opens, and I cannot select anything like "Reset Printing System".
    This does not work either, no Printer with "Bonjour" is offered for selection: 
    "Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer with Bonjour next to it, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it."
    When I select the plus sign, I can only make settings in the "IP" area. Standard, Fax and Windows have nothing to select or to put in. "IP" offers Protocol to select and Address to fill in. I put in 192.168.2.6 and tried the different protocols. "Print with" offers generic PostScript printer, Generic PCL Laser printer, "other" and printer software - thats where I selected the driver for the cm1312
    Can you tell what I did wrong? Thanks for trying

  • Wireless Printing issues with HP Deskjet 2540

    Hello everyone,
    I am experiencing an issue with an HP Deskjet 2540 printer - it prints if I have connected it to a USB cable; however, it refuses to print if I try to print wirelessly. 
    I had initially solved this problem when I went to System Preferences > Printers and Scanners and noticed two Deskjet 2540 series icons in a window titled 'Printers'. I ended up removing one of these icons and set the other one as a default, which seemed to temporarily solve my problem. Now, I see two icons back in this 'Printers' menu and my printer refuses to print through my wireless connection.
    My printer is connected to my internet connection so I don't think there is an issue here - I also have recently installed the software for this printer to make sure there was not some sort of driver issue; however, this does not seem to give me the permanent solution I am looking for.
    Any Advice? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.5

    Hey @love2dance,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!  I understand you're having difficulty printing wirelessly with your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer.  I would like to assist you with this and may have some steps that will ensure you can print wirelessly from your Mac.  
    I recommend you start from scratch and re-do your printer install and wireless setup for best results. 
    Firstly, make doubly sure your printer is connected to your wireless network by doing the following:
    Step one: Prepare for installationTo gather your network name (SSID) and password (WEP key or WPA passphrase), you can ask the person who originally set up your network, see the documentation that came with the router, or contact the manufacturer. HP cannot set up or change the network SSID or the password.
    Make sure that you have the following requirements before you begin:
    Network name: The network name is the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
    WEP key or WPA security passphrase
    A computer that is connected to the wireless network.
    Internet access. HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL.
    Your wireless-capable HP product. Place it close to the computer during the installation procedure.
    A USB cable (used only during installation).
    Administrator privileges or password
    Make sure the product, access point, and computer are all on, and that the computer is connecting to the wireless network.
    Connect the USB Cable to the rear port of the HP product and to any USB port on the computer.
    Exit all applications running on your computer.
    Source
    Secondly, prepare your Mac by removing any existing printers added:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Print & Scan from the View menu.
    Click the "-" (Remove printer) button.
    Next, click here to download and install your printer's software.  As you work your way through the setup, follow the prompts to convert your usb install to wireless.  With this setup completed successfully your wireless printing capability should be restored. 
    One way to preserve this wireless connection is to make sure your wireless mode/router is left on continually.  If at anytime your network connection is lost, reconnecting your printer will mean that it's being assigned a new IP address.  The significance here is that your Mac will be looking to connect with the printer at an IP address that is no longer applicable. 
    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  Best of luck!

  • Wireless printing works with 10.5.1 but not with 10.5.8 - help?

    TIA
    In 10.5.1 adding my HP printer and printing wirelessly to it was no problem. I upgraded with the Combo 10.5.8, used the printer set up procedure and my printer does not show up in the printer window.
    I now wireless print to my HP printer by booting up in 10.4.11. I.O.W., it is not my HP printer.
    I have searched the net for similar problems and did not find any. I have downloaded and installed, again, the HP drivers.
    In 10.5.8, I can see and select the Adobe PDF printer and, in the printer setup window, I can select my HP printer driver (I.O.W., the driver is installed). The Adobe PDF printer works.

    the cat 5 cable is plugged into the printer's ethernet port with the other end plugged into the ethernet port of the ISP's wireless router. Two computers are hardwired from this router. This laptop uses the wireless.
    Hi Leonard,
    Your printer is indeed connected via Ethernet and your wireless router provides the wireless capabilities to your MacBook Pro. (That is, your printer is NOT a wireless printer.) This is exactly how my network is setup as I stated in my post on February 26.
    Here what I suggest...
    Print a test page from the HP 4MV printer as follows:
    (a) Press the On Line button so the light goes out
    (b) Press the Menu button until the display shows TEST MENU
    (c) Pres the Item button until the display shows SELF TEST
    (d) Press the Enter button. The display will show 06 PRINTING TEST and after 30 seconds, the test page prints
    The test page will show a boxed section. The third column is TCP/IP information and should show the printer's IP Address (ex. 192.168.1.xxx), subnet mask (255.255.255.0), and gateway (ex. 192.168.1.1). The gateway should be that of your router and the first three sets of numbers of the printer's IP address are the same as the router.
    Now, put the printer back On Line.
    Add printer using IP with the LPD protocol (This is for Leopard but should be similar with Snow Leopard)
    Launch System Preferences and click on Print & Fax
    Click the plus ( + ) symbol
    Click IP
    Protocol: select Line Printer Daemon – LPD (click for a pop-down list of options)
    Address: type in the IP address shown on the printer self test page
    Queue: you can leave it blank
    Now, the system will look for the IP and find a corresponding match PPD
    If everything is correct, click the Add button.
    (In my case, "Name" automatically fills with the IP address that I input for address and "Printing Using" auto finds a PPD for my printer. I also have an additional setup for my HP 4MV using a third-party PPD and in that case, I manually "Select a driver to use” by clicking on whatever the system automatically selected.)
    BTW: You may want to take a look at what print guru, Greg Sahli says in another thread at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2117938&tstart=0
    Hope this helps.

  • Continued wireless printing failure

    I have struggled for weeks to get my network printing wirelessly.
    I have a Macbook Pro and an iMac, both on Mountain Lion.
    I can get my Epson PX710W to print with USB but not wirelessly.
    I can ping the router from both Macs. I cannot ping Mac to Mac. I cannot ping the printer from either Mac.
    The Macs have IP Addresses 192.168.1.2  and 192.168.1.5, the priner is 192.168.1.7.
    I have downloaded the latest printer driver and installed it on both Macs, but don't know where to find it. This is a mystery and may be significant?
    I cannot add the printer from the Print and Scan page except as a USB kind.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thank you.
    John

    I am unable to add the wireless printer. The printer will work with a USB cable only.
    2 different contacts at the Epson Online Chat have quoted 2 different driver versions.
    Opening printer utility 3 in applications, shows 6.61 as the version.
    I have also downloaded and installed a 2.12 version, which was also given to me as the version to use.
    However, I am unable to add a printer to both my MacBook and an iMac, both on Mountain Lion.  Nor can one mac ping the other mac.  Nor can either mac ping the printer.  Both macs can ping the router.
    Yes, I was searching in the user library for the driver.  I am not able to find the Mountain Lion Library where the system folder is.

  • Is Airport Wireless printing possible with Officejet 4315

    I am thinking of getting one of these Officejet 4315s. I'll be using it as a regular sheet feed fax, wireless not necessary, but will need wireless printing.
    On IFelix's Unofficial printer compatibility list with AEBS and AX, the Officejet 4215 is listed, as long as only the older drivers are used (thanks HP for those upgrades); so i'm wondering if the 4315 is just a newer evolution of the 4215 and if it too will print wirelessly with AEBS/AX, whether with old or new HP driver or with HPIJS. Any information or opinions about this?

    Hi Judy, I posted this in another thread about using an HP Officejet 4215 but have pasted it below since you might find it useful. I have used my 4215 wirelessly via USB on my Airport since OS 10.2 and it works great. Lost it due to my 10.5 upgrade for a few days but now it's fine again. Best of luck.
    The solution to using your HP 4215 (and MANY others) with an Airport (print only, of course) is found here:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
    You need to install 3 items to make the printer print through the Airport:
    1. hpijs-2.7.10-UB
    2. Foomatic-RIP
    3. ESP Ghostscript
    Everything is found or referenced at the above Open Printing link. In fact the hpijs driver will not install at all unless it finds both #2 and #3 so do them first (or try it and find out for yourself ).
    It's all explained at the link but here is how I did it:
    Installed the 3 items above then go into System Prefs, then Print & Fax, then find and double-click on your printer, select Info, then select Driver, then find the Foomatic/hpijs driver that is recommended for your printer. Voila! Airport printing works again, under 10.5.1 even! Or you could wait for HP to write a new driver...
    Hope this helps. Good luck!

  • Wireless printing failure...

    I have an old MBP running OSX 10.6.8.  Using a Canon MX870.  Previously was able to print wirelessly from my MBP and iPhone flawlessly.  The last few months it has been more and more unstable to the point that now I can't print wirelessly at all.  Prints fine when plugged into the usb port.
    I recently changed the firmware on my Time Capsule and got some improvements in overall stability and reliablitiy with wifi.  Hoped this issue would get better but no such luck.
    I have removed all printers, changed the network, added the printer to the network, added the printer to the MBP.  Then when I print it acts like it will work.  The computer says it is printing.  The printer screen says it is printing.  It does that for about a minute, maybe two, then I get this:
    That's basically what it has done all along since it started failing.

  • Wireless printing problems with Canon iP4300, but USB printing ok

    My MacBook Pro is setup for wireless printing with a printer(Canon Pixma iP4300) connected to my other PC Desktop. The only problem is that when I print anything all the text and images are miniaturized and squished about a quarter of a page large into the upper left corner of an 8.5x11 paper. I installed all the programs that came with the printer installation disk and when I connect my MacBook directly to the printer via USB everything prints out just fine.
    I suspect the problem is with the selection of printer model when you go to "Printer Setup" in System Preferences. The existing list of Canon printer models given to me by the computer does not contain anything specific for my iP4300. I simply chose the option "BJC 4300 Gimp-Print v.5.0.0-beta 2". Does anyone know of a way where I could add to that list of printer models or is there another way to get my wireless printing to work normally? Thanks to anyone who can help.

    I have the same printer and network printing is a pain. Canon decided not to include a network specific driver for this printer.
    You can try getting the latest version of the gimp-print drivers. The latest version has better support for ip4300. If it's worth it to you, PrintFab drivers have been working for me but PrintFab isn't free.
    The latest Gimp-print (Gutenprint) drivers are here: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
    Hope that helps.
