Wireless printing and Mac OS 10.6.8

I have recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.8 (Software Update) and it appears to have removed my wireless connection to my HP Printer All in One C8180.  Computer instructions do not feed into the printer. It was fine before the upgrade. I have a Mac OS X (10.6.8), Mac 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Can anyone suggest what to do?

Unless you've tried this already, before you roll back to 10.6.7 it may be worth re-installing the 10.6.8 update using the combo updater: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
The combo has all the updates since 10.6. Sometimes on this forum people report issues after doing the latest point update to the OS. Using the combo often, though not always, fixes things.
It's worth repairing disk permissions before and after updating.

  • HT3500 I cannot connect Macbook (OS 10.6.8) to Epson XP 400 wirelessly. It works when connected to a USB cable. Both printer and Mac are on the same network and Norton/symantic is OFF. The Epson will not show up in "add printer". is off.

    I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
    Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.

    Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
    It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
    Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
    Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable.

  • Wireless printer and wifi wont connect at same time

    Hello
    I have a Mac Mini with software version 10.6.8  I also have a HP wireless printer and for some reason cannot get my wirless internet and wireless printer to connect at the same time,  to print anything I have to disconnect from the internet and to use the internet I have to disconnect from the printer can anyone help?
    Many thanks,
    Kiera

    It sounds as though you did not configure your wireless printer to join your usual wireless network. It may be communicating directly with your Mini using an "ad-hoc" configuration, bypassing your wireless router. This will be inconvenient at best.
    Refer to your HP printer's documentation to determine how to configure it to join your existing wireless network... the same one you use to connect to the Internet.

  • Wireless printer for mac OSX 10.7.4 any recommendations

    what is a good wireless printer for mac POC 10.7.4,having problems with hp 3050A

    Hello Flajack,
    Thanks for the post.  I did some checking here and the HP 3050a is compatible with MAC OS 10.7 in a wireless environment.  What kind of issues are you having?  Installation? Connectivity?  Maintaining a wireless connection?  I've included a couple of my favorite links below to assist in getting this resolved.  Check the information in these links and let me know how it goes from there.  Good Luck!

  • I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad.  I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

    i have c 6180 wireless printer and an apple ipad2, can the printer print from the ipad? how can i set it up?

    Not with the built-in AirPrint print function.  However, you can download free and cheap print apps that can provide some (limited) printing abilities.  HP's iPrint is one of those.

  • My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up.  It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

    My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause.  I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer.  I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed.  I am so frustrated!!!    This has never happened in the past.

    What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
    What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
    If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3140
    Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

    Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
    While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
    (If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
    Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
    If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
    Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..

    Can I print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do I have to have an air printer?

    It depends on the printer and if it is shared on your home network.
    I have a wireless HP printer, but it is not an E Printer and cannot print directly from my mobile device.  I purchased an Epson all in one E Printer so that I could print from my tablet.  THe printer cost me less than $90 at Walmart.

  • I just got a wireless printer and we followed the directions on how to hook it up to the iPad. Somehow it seems as if we hooed it up to the wrong printer. How do we disconnect this printer from the iPad so that we can connect the correct printer?

    AirPrint finds any air print enabled printers on your wifi network, and won't find any printers that are not.  So if you print from, say, safari, and it finds that printer, then that is your printer.   It may have a different name than you were expecting.
    Turn the printer off, and see if the print job still sees the printer.  That will confirm that the one it sees is yours.
    What happens when you send the print job?
    If you are sharing a wifi network with others, and one of them has a AirPrint printer on the network, you will see that one.  There is not way to have it forget one, so you will need to know your printer from the other printer, and select the right one.

  • Wireless Printing: for Mac and PC

    I am running a home wireless network. The AEBS --> Linksys router --> Modem. In addition, there is an HP LaserJet 2100M attached to the router. So the problem is I need to be able to connect my Macs and my wife's PC to the printer. I have no problem with the Macs - they are running through AppleTalk. Using Printer Setup Utility the location shows up as "Local zone". I think the problem may be that the PC doesn't recognize "AppleTalk".
    So the question is how can I get the Macs and PCs to both connect to the printer?
    I have tried using HP LaserJet Utility (OS9 vers) to change the settings on the printer. When I try to assign a manual TCP/IP address to the printer it states that "valid IP addresses must be entered for manual configuration" (even though the address should be valid: 192.168.150.101 on my network). therefore, I have to use the "Automatically obtain TCP/IP config from the DHCP server". I have also downloaded the HP LaserJet Utility for OSX. This doesn't seem to do much, and doesn't include the same options as the OS9 version - as far as I can tell it just uses the Apple "printer setup utility".
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Thanks
    Rob

    The PC does not have to use Appletalk to communicate with the printer. If Appletalk works with the printer, let the Macs use it. After all, if you never changed anything on the printer, but just used it out of the box, there is no reason why you need to change anything for the PC.
    You should just set up the PC printing on the network as if the Macs were not there, using whatever protocol the printer and PC want. You are probably just having a problem configuring the printer interface on the PC. Be sure that you are trying to communicate with it through your network interface, not through the printer port, although that should work, too, if your PC is connected that way.
