Wireless Printing for Color Laserjet 2505dn

I keep getting emails from HP regarding wireless printing.  So, I'm trying to find out if mine is compatible to do it. I have a Color Laserjet 2505dn printer.  I think it is too old and is not compatible but I was hoping someone can tell me for sure if there is possibly a way to do it.  I have a wireless router to my computer but can it reach my printer?
Thanks
Walter

  • Problems with printing( hp Color LaserJet)

    Printer HP Color LaserJet 1500L under Mac OS 10.4.2 Tiger refuses to work normally. It prints 1 or sometimes 2 sheets of paper and then it stops working. All other tasks just move from the active category into completed one without any printing. Printer's indicator starts to wink but then it stops and nothing more happens. The next printing begins only after switching the printer off and on or after restarting operation system. After this it prints 1 or 2 pages and everything begins again. We tryed to use standart drivers which were attached to the printer and the drivers which we downloaded from the HP official site. There is no difference. We tryed to connect the printer to another Macintosh computer under Mas OS X 10.4.2 but the problems didn't disappear. Also we tryed to change USB cable between the printer and the computer. It also didn't matter. Before it the printer worked under Windows XP normally without any problems.

    Same printer, similar problems. I get stopped jobs that refuse to print even after I hit the start printing button. There is a message on this site tackling this issue for an Epson printer. Haven’t tried it out yet myself.

  • How do I set up e print for my laserjet P1102 for Mac

    how do I set up e print for my laserjet P1102 for Mac? I have downloaded soft ware & ejected disc as directed & don't know next step. Thanks

    Hi,
    As you have setup the printer now you should be having the printers IP address. 
    If not please connect your printer to wifi network with a valid internet network and get the IP address by printing the config page.
    Make sure you connect Mac Book to the same wifi network.
    Now type the IP address on a browser in your Mac Book and hit enter.
    You should be able to see the Embedded Web Server page of your printer.
    Now navigate to Web Services Tab.
    Click on Enable to enable eprint on your printer.
    This will enable the web services on your printer and print the information sheet.
    The information sheet will contain the claim code for your printer.
    The <Claimcode>@hpeprint.com will be your email ID for the printer.
    Kind Regards,
    Oliver

  • What is the best and least expensive wireless printer for ipad2?

    What is the best and least expensive wireless printer for ipad2?

    Do you mean a external cd/dvd drive that connects by usb port? If you do then any brand will work. It does not have to be a apple brand for it to work on your mac. Most go for around $30 in the usa.
    I use a asus brand that cost me just under $30. Works on any computer it is connect to.

  • 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 have an IPad 2 and have been printing to my wireless printer for almost a year , all of sudden it states it's going to print and says its sending to that printer and nothing prints. I ran the reports on the printer and it's fine, please help!

    I have been printing from my IPad 2 to my HP wireless printer for a year, all of a sudden it's states it's printing but nothing will print, wirless printer ran all programs, everything is fine. Does anyone know what s happening?

    Double-click on your home key, find the Printer Control app, hold your finger down on it until the red circle with a white dash appears. Press on the dash, press on the home key and try again.

  • Help.  I have been printing from my iPad to my home wireless printer for months.  All of the sudden it says. No printer found.  Shut off the printer and restarted. Still no luck.

    I have been printing from my ipadto my wireless printer for months. All of the sudden says no printer found.  Restart eyed printer still no luck.  Help

    Have you tried to reboot your iPad? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try agian.
    Also, try power cycling your router. Meaning, unplug it, count to 10, then plug it back in. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

  • What is the best wireless printer for the MacBook Pro?

    what is the best wireless printer for a macbook pro?

    I use an Epson NX430 (inkjet) which uses a wireless card: no issues. Also a Brother HL-3040 (laser) connected to modem by Ethernet cable: no issues. Depends on your printing needs and amount of work space available.

  • "waiting for Color Laserjet 2550L to become available" when trying to print

    I have been successfully printing to a Color Laserjet 2550L for over 4 years yet suddenly within the last 2 weeks each time I try to print I get this message from the printer window: "waiting for printer to become available"?  Oddly enough, if I power the printer off and then back on the printer usually (although not always) prints whatever has not been completed in the queue.  I have tried using different USB cables, deleted and then added this printer again ... not sure what else to try?
    I was messing around with my network in trying to get another Color LJ to work but don't see how that could affect this printer since this one is running direct via USB and seems to be getting the info just not printing without the power down?  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks

    OK, that's strange.  Apple and HP list it as being supported by Snow Leopard here.
    Can you run a self-test from the front of the printer?
    Try downloading updated software from Apple here.

  • Drivers for color laserjet 5m printer (windows XP)

    My computer crashed and burned - had to reinstall Windows XP - can't find right drivers on HP website for my Color laserjet 5  (c30991)   Any suggestions on were to go?

    The windows 8 driver for this printer should be available in late January. Please bookmark this site and visit it for up to date information. Also located on this site are links to documents for the network workaround and the in-os document.
    Laserjet Printers supported in Windows 8
    Install HP print software via a network in Windows 8
    As a test, I did install this using the windows 7 drivers, it printed fine but I received a pop up giving me an error printing but it still printed. I then used the network work around to shut the bi-di off and the pop up went away, again it printed fine. I would suggest if you use the windows 7 drivers, that you upgrade to the windows 8 drivers when they are available.

  • Printing solution for Color LaserJet 3600 & 2600 on new Apple hardware

    This is a followup to my original thread that was archived:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2364735&tstart=0
    I finally found a solution. HP owes me $20,000 in consulting fees.
    To print to a LaserJet 3600 or 2600 from a newer Mac using 10.6, you must do the following:
    Step 1: Install Foomatic HPIJS drivers
    Step 2: Get an AirPort Express or equivalent print server (AirPort Extreme works as well, UFO or thin.)
    Step 3: Connect the printer via USB to the print server, and connect it to your network
    Step 4: Go to Print & Fax, then click the + button to add a printer
    Step 5: Select HP Jetdirect - Socket for the protocol
    Step 6: Enter the IP address of the printer server, followed by a colon and the port number (9100 or 9101)*, i.e. 1.2.3.4:9100
    Step 7: Name the printer, then click on the Print using: drop down menu
    Step 8: Select the Select Other Printer..., and choose the appropriate HPIJS driver.
    * To determine the correct port, open Network Utility in the Utilities folder. Click on Port Scan. Type the IP address of your print server, then check the Only test ports between... and enter 9100 and 9101. It will report back the open TCP port.

    Unfortunately 10.6.3 did not fix the problem.
    I've also, unfortunately, found out that the HPIJS will also eventually fail to print.
    This is beyond frustrating since we invested several thousands of dollars in these printers and we can't use them.

  • Wireless printing for an HP Laserjet 3330 - need print server

    Anyone know of a good wireless print server that will work with an HP Laserjet 3330?  I don't care as much about the full multi function capability as I do simply printer remotely.  Just returned a Linksys that wasn't compatible and don't want to go through that again.  Could buy a new printer but this one works just time.
    Thanks

    Yes, one of the others is an HP LaserJet 1320 and the other is a Samsung ML-2010. I'm using a Canon MF4360 at home and the 1200 seems to be the only one with this problem. All other systems are running the most recent SL and well as Adobe Reader.

  • Cannot print to Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw

    I have a HP Color Laserjet MFP M177fw hard wired to my router. I can print from internet explorer, chrome and other applications such as Office and Notepad, etc. I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I can get to the print dialogue page and hit print but nothing comes out and I can't see any jobs stuck in the print queue. 
    I am using an HPtouch computer with Windows 8.1

    I have the same problem for my 177fw. It does connect to my desktop via wireless connection when I check the control panel, yet no printing job could be done and they just disappear in the queue list. Sorry to say that, Ms. Helen-Hua, but I don't think "trying to print as image" can help to solve the problem no matter what result it is. For most people I don't think they would accept a printer that cannot print a simple text document.
    Look forward to receiving working solution.
    PS. The wireless connection has absolutely no problem for my win 7 laptop and my desktop which is formerly win 7. The problem only happen when the computer is upgraded to win 8.1 and another brand-new win 8 desktop.

  • EPrint for COLOR LASERJET CM3530 MFP

    thanks

    Any update if there will be a firmware update for this model of printer to enable ePrint

  • Snow Leopard Breaks Bonjour Printing (HP Color Laserjet)

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook (newly reformatted) with the newest version of print drivers from HP's website, connected to a HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi, with print sharing enabled and "share this printer over the network checked". It used to work well for Bonjour printing from all my other leopard macs in my house, before I updated to Snow Leopard.
    All of the computers I mention here are fully updated.
    On the other computers....
    The printer shows up in add a printer under Bonjour, but it takes a long time to find the driver. I have tried printing using the "Generic PostScript Printer" driver as well as the HP Color Laserjet cm1312MFP driver, but both get stuck at "Connecting to Printer". After a few minutes of this they peter out and just mark the job as completed.
    This is all while the printer is awake and the host computer is awake.
    Another computer, without the HP Printer solution software installed, but that still comes up with the HP Color Laserjet cm1312 MFP drivers, will say "Connected to printer" then automatically mark the job as on hold. No matter how many times I reset the print queue, on this computer nothing works.
    These computers are all running 10.6.
    I can print directly from the computer that is hosting the bonjour printer without any problems.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Josh,
    First, let me make sure my assumptions are correct. The printer is USB connected to the Mac that has printer sharing turned on, and the other Macs find the shared printer via Bonjour. All the Macs are running Snow Leopard. The computer with the printer connected via USB prints just fine. All of the other computers don't work.
    So, let me ask this. If you open up the Sharing System Preference, and select Printer Sharing, Printer Sharing is turned on, the printer you want to share is listed in the list with a checkmark next to it, and the Users is setup so Everyone Can Print. Also when you open up the Print & Fax System Preference and click on your printer, the "Share this printer on the network" checkbox is on as well.
    Next make sure that all the computer are running the HP Drivers version 2.2 from Apple Software Update (or downloaded from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907]).
    If all of this is true, let me ask if you connect the device to Ethernet (if possible at least temporarily) if all of the computers can find and print to the CM1312? This might help narrow things down.
    Just trying to help.
    Andrew
