Wireless printing problems with Asus router RT-N56U and HP8500

Neew MacBookPro with Lion. Also have HP 8500a 909a printer hooked up to an Asus router RT-N56U Google search indicates MANY problems with HP printers being used with wireless Mac, even with Airport. Of course we know HP is one of the worse customer support companies on earth,, so I came here in hopes to find a solution. I updated my mac and firmware for router. The Mac doesn't find any printers wirelessly at all. If I hook up with a cable it works fine.. Thanks

I own the RT-N56U (best router on the market hands-down), along with an HP LaserJet 1320, however it's connected via USB to my computer instead of the router. While it's true that HP don't have a terrific support record for Mac drivers in fairness it may be the Asus router causing the problem; if you Google "Asus RT-N56U" and "mac os x print server", you'll find complaints similar to yours from other users. From what I understand this is partly dependent on your printer and whether it supports network printing, and partly on compliance with the Asus router firmware. I Googled what appears to be a possible solution to configuring the Asus print server, however I haven't yet tested this myself:

  • Printing problem with Photoshop CS 6 extended and HP printer

    Hi all, long time browser, first time poster.
    This is a weird issue, it should be noted from the first that I only have weird computer issues. I work at a technical High School where we have the whole Adobe CS6 Extended suite installed. We are running it under a fully patched version of Windows 7 and all the CS6 updates have been applied on 25 machines that all have the same issue. The problem is that when the students go to print to our HP Color Laser jet CP6015DN, the job can been seen loading into the queue, it races up to about 45MB, then sort of strolls to load the rest of the document, usually about 59 to 75 MB's in size. Then I watch the message go to processing, the front panel of the printer says processing, then the print job disappears from the printer queue and the printer and there is no print out. I printed out the usage job log and it shows none of the failed attempts to print and I check the event log page which does not show the errors either.
    Looks like a bad printer driver, right? So I download the new HP Universal printer driver, I normally do not do the Universal driver route as so many of my older printers have problems with it, but the CP6015DN seems to have trouble accessing the extended tray 5 with the specific drivers, but I have the same printing issue with the new Universal driver and the PS driver. So I wander through the HP manual and it suggests using profiles to print to the printer and move the color handling from Printer Manages Colors to Photoshop manages colors and I track down the ICC profiles for the printer on the HP site as the link in the book is dead, so try the CP6015srgb_d50.icc, CP6015_cmyk_d50.icc and CP6015.icc, I try all of these profiles with the newest PS printer driver and the same error, goes to the printer and into the bit bucket. Still no printout or error message.
    Strange thing is that if I do a test print, it prints fine, if I open a tif file in Photoshop, it prints fine, now the teacher says if they print to the Xeorx 7760 in the next room, it also prints out fine. It should be noted that we had so many issues with configuring the Xerox and adjusting controls it was the reason we purchased a HP proofing printer in the first place. But the next door lab is all Apple, which doesn't seem to have this issue. So I open the test document and save it as a PDF file instead the native Photoshop format, and it prints fine, which from what I've been reading on the internet may be the preferred way of printing proofs, I don't know, I've never really used Photoshop, but the teacher says this isn't an acceptable fix and the students should be expected to manage a number of revisions saved to PDF format, me I just go up a number at the end of the file name for every correction when editing documents.
    Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
    Windows 7 X64
    Photoshop version 13.0.1 x64

    Yes, Photoshop is up to date at Version 13.0.6.  I have even gone so far as to uninstall CS 6 and put CS 5 back on and still the same thing.  This is really frustrating, the people at Canon try to be helpful but wind up saying it's an Adobe problem and of course you can't talk to real people anymore about CS 6.  My research on the Internet has turned up nothing so I'm stuck.

  • HP Wireless Printing - problems with MAcbook Airport

    I've read through most of the problems related to printers on here and I think I have a unique one!!
    I've just bought and installed a HP C8180 all-in-one printer. Installed as per instructions - on home network and across ethernet. I've reserved an IP address for it so its always in the same place. Works brilliantly (good printer!). However if I then disconnect ethernet and connect to my network via airport - it won't print! It will however, align, print test page (albeit slowly), clean cartridges etc - but no printing.
    If I disconnect from Airport and reconnect to ethernet - no problems it prints fine. If I then connect via airport (keeping the ethernet connection at the top of the list) it works fine. If however airport is top of the list - it won't print.
    Prints fine on USB too.
    So I've deduced that for some reason its the Apple Macbook wireless that's causing the problem.
    So does anyone have a solution - 'cause this is driving me nuts!
    Thanks in advance.

    I have a HP Photosmart 2710 All in One connected to a Aiport Express USB port, it works great, the WIFI in the printer doesn't work because it doesn't support WPA2 so I disabled it. The main router is quite a ways away but I still want to print to the printer wirelessly.
    My suggestion:
    1. Connect the printer via USB directly to macbook to load and test driver.
    2. Use Airport Utility and configure Airport for printer, if it is already listed, remove and reinstall it.
    3. On your Macbook it should change the driver from USB to the name of Airport, sometimes it helps to turn off the printer and turn it back on while connected to Airport.
    Keep messing with it, it can be stubborn with Bonjour but it finally shows up. Make sure the Airport Utility can see the printer when connected to it.

  • 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 problems with 10.5.4 and Epson printers

    Anyone else know about problems with Epson printers such as this no longer functioning wirelessly with bonjour once upgrade to 10.5.4? It appears they are not supporting this with a new driver yet?
    At this time, Epson says they have no drivers for 10.5 and this specific printer but wondered if there are more general problems with 10.5.4 and bonjour with Epson or others?
    Thanks

    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.4) Using Epson CX11-NF printer

    I have 5 computers-G4 PowerPC, two G4 12" laptops, G5 Mac Pro dual, Macbook Pro--with the older computers all running 10.4.11, the new ones 10.5.4. Until Friday, I was able to print with all of them to an Epson Stylus Photo R200 via Airport Extreme. After installing software for my new G3 iPhone on the G5 Mac Pro the printer connections on all the computers stopped working. I have so far been able to get the G4 Power PC to print, but none of the others. I have tried Bonjour, Gimp-print v.5.0.0-beta 2, cleared all the print drivers and restarted, and everything else I have been able to find on both Epson and Apple sites. The Printer Set Utility described by Epson does not exist in Leopard machines, and doesn't work for the older laptops. As soon as I select one of the printers in the "selected printer in print dialogue box" it grays out. I have set up sharing on the G4Power PC that does print, but it is not accessible--it shows up but is grayed out. There is a diamond next to the printers in the Print dialogue box in applications' menus, but it still doesn't work. It either cannot make the connection, cannot find the printer, or keeps spinning with the message that it is finishing printing (but it hasn't even started.) Again, everything worked fine until the new iPhone was added to the mix. My old iPhone didn't cause any problems. This is really a problem. Any suggestions welcome.

  • Canon ip5200r wireless printing problems with Airport Extreme

    I have been been printing from my iBook G4 (OS 10.3.9) using my Canon ip5200r connected to my wireless network for a couple of months without any problems. Yesterday it stopped working. When I called Canon for support, they say the problem is that my Airport Extreme is assigning different IP addresses to my computer and printer despite both being on the same network. I am not sure if it is relevant but the only recent change in my system is that earlier this week, I had a new high-speed internet modem installed. Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks!

    Attached to the airport USB port I have

  • 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.

  • Printing Problem with Epson LX-300+ii and LX-310 in Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit

    I recently installed Windows Server 2012 R2 64-Bit.
    We have Printer Epson LX-300+ii and LX-310 (dot-matrix) that we share among users. Each user access the Server using Remote Desktop. From previous experience with Windows Server 2008, I knew that these printers will be problematic, especially regarding
    the Easy Print driver.
    And I was right, using the Easy Print driver, I got the following result:
    And so, I did manual mapping & disable the "Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first". Haha, what a surprise, I got the following result:
    And so I uninstalled the printer driver, and install it again, thinking that I might chose a wrong driver, but.... same result. I know for sure that I chose the correct driver.
    Next, I tried connecting the printer DIRECTLY to the server. Log-in to the Server directly,
    not using Remote Desktop. And tried printing again, haha... really... what a surprise... I got the same problem here !!!
    So now I know the problem is not the Easy Print driver, not mapping or registry problem either. It's the print driver. This is SUPER FRUSTRATING, I tried the same driver from the same CD in Windows 8.1 64-Bit with no problem. I tried it too in Windows 7
    32-Bit with no-problem either. But somehow, this driver is problematic in Windows Server 2012 R2.
    Any help? Anybody else bump into this same problem ? I'm close to giving up, been spending too much time figuring out this damn thing.
    Andy

    Hi Bulent Sahin,
    Thank you for your reply, I tried IBM Graphics driver, but the result is equally as bad. But your answer inspire me to try different drivers. And so, the closest & best driver that I could use now is EPSON ESC/P 9pin V4 Class Driver
    It's not as good as I would expect, but at least now, it's acceptable & readable. I can't believe that I'm the only one who have this problem
    Thank you Mr. Sahin

  • HP Deskjet 3050A wireless printing problem with Macbook Air

    Hello, I have a HP Deskjet 3050A printer that I have been using with my MacBook Air (2012 OS X 10.8.3) until a few weeks ago when it seemed to hang when trying to print and then say no printer found (even though it showed and was selected in the Printer options). So after a few weeks of this I decided to to remedy this issue once and for all by deleting the printer and 'refinding' it.
    However, upon 'refinding' printer by adding it through System Preferences no printer is found - I have updated all Macbook air software.
    All this time I have been able to continue printing wirelessly using my iPhone 4S and have changed no settings to the iPhone or 3050A which leads me to believe the proble the problem may lie with the Macbook Air?
    Can you help resolving this please? Thanks

    What router are you using?  Have you restarted it by pulling its power plug momentarily?
    If that does not work, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Restart your Mac.
    Finally, reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Wireless printing problem with HP Envy all-in-one 110 when running Mac OS 10.7

    I just bought the HP Envy all-in-one 110. I have a Macbook Air running IS 10.7. I managed to install the software correctly and the wirless network light is showing on the printer. I ran a test page from the printer and all the settings say they are "enabled." But I still can't get the printer to print over the wireless network. When I plugged in a USB cable, I managed to get it to print. I have a wireless router running over the Sonic.net DSL network. Network strength is good. I've switched off and restarted all equipment several times but still no results. Help!

    Hi,
    I believe the router may not support Multicasting, a network protocol used for Apple's Bonjour service to operate as it should.
    Will be helpful to know the exact router brand and model.
    As a workaroung, you may try setting the printer by using standard IP, it should allow you to print, however the router issue (more likely) have to be handled first to allow the full software functionality including scanning.
    Follow the steps below to set an IP print queue, it will also help to better understand the cause for the problem:
    Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    Click the plus sign.
    Click the IP icon.
    Select the HP Jetdirect Socket protocol.
    Enter the printer IP address into the Address field
    Now try printing using the newly created print queue, listed as the printer IP address.

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear you are having problems printing. 
    Are you using the AirPrint or ePrint functions? Is the phone able to see the printer?
    Some things to check would be that both the printer and phone are still connected to the same wifi network and that there have been no wifi password changes.

  • Printing problems with Flash Players 10.1 and 10.2

    I'm having problems when printing "lengthy" reports under Flash Players 10.1 and 10.2. (By "lengthy" I mean 15+ pages, but it seems dependent on the content of the pages.)
    Symptoms: On OS X with Safari (with debug Player 10.2) I get timeout errors. On Windows with IE (regular Flash Player 10.2), the system crawls to  almost a halt, heavy CPU and memory usage.   With Firefox on Windows, the Flash Player will crash. A user with Player 10.1 on Windows also reports The Flash Player crashing in Firefox (he has 8GB of RAM).
    The reports print fine under Flash Player 10.0
    There was an earlier post here about what seems like the same issue. (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3486765)
    There is a bug report (https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-6087), but so far no response from Adobe.
    I'm surprised about how few reports there are about the issue, which makes me think it may be my code. (But it worked under 10.0.)
    I'd be interested to know if others are experiencing the problem.
    Better still, if anyone has any tips on how to resolve the issue.

    This is rediculous.  I have an application in use by thousands of students, and their teachers are supposted to be able to print login sheets for their classroom.  This was functioning fine for years, and now with the latest player upgrades, it's failing to print or printing only a few of the total pages.  I'm even seeing it print one additional page each time... first successfully printing 3 pages, then 4, then 5, when printing with adobe acrobat to PDF.  What happened?  What is this talk of timeouts when printing?  I'm not getting any error messages, it's just completing the file and displaying the PDF with only 4 of the 15 or 20 pages that Flash should have sent to the printer.

  • IPM problem with shadow router management vlan and services vlan

    Hi everybody!
    Im trying to config a shadow router that has 2 vlan int one is for managemt and the other for services.
    Cisco Works server only sees the management interface of this shadow router.
    On the other end i have a cisco device with rtr responder enabled on the services vlan, so shadow router and this device see each other on this vlan.
    In the shadow router i know i can configure the source address.
    Is there a way i can configure the end device as a target that has rtr responder enabled even if i cant reach it from the Cisco Works Server?
    thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply - yes I did save it.  All the other ports have the command.  But when the phone boots up - it ends up disappearing after the above occurs:
    When the phone boots up - it seems to encounter a broadcast storm (???) the port goes from this:
    interface gigabitethernet36
    switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10
    to this:
    interface gigabitethernet36
    storm-control broadcast enable
    storm-control broadcast level 10
    storm-control include-multicast
    port security max 10
    port security mode max-addresses
    port security discard trap 60
    spanning-tree portfast
    switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10
    macro description ip_phone
    !next command is internal.
    macro auto smartport dynamic_type ip_phone
    Then in a minute or two I'm no longer able to ping the voicelan - and when I do a show run - gi36 isn't even visible.  However, the PC that is also on gi36 works fine.
    If I then reissue the 'switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10' to gi36 - the phone is pingable - and works continuously until the phone is rebooted.
    So I'm not really sure what happens during the bootup that causes this to happen, or a way to try and prevent it from occuring.

  • Printer problem with AW 6.2.9

    I have a recurring printer problem with both hp deskjet 5150 and Epson R220. After much work with techs at both, we have determined that it is an AW problem (v. 6.2.9) Other files print okay. I've searched through recent posts and found similiar questions, but the answers aren't specific to my problem. I gather that it involves trashing certain AW files, such as Appleworks.plist and other Appleworks prefs. It will help it I know the specific files to trash and as much detail about how to find them on the HD. I will be infinitely grateful for any help.

    You are correct that deleting the AppleWorks preferences can fix some printing problems. I'm surprised that in finding that information you didn't come across a post with the specific information or a tip to my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, that explains which preference files ot delete.
    Make sure you have the newest printer driver for each printer. Also, use Disk Utility to repair permissions after any system update or upgrade.
