Wireless printing w/Mac and PC

Help!
I can print wirelessly over my AE using Rendezvous with no problem; however, I can't figure out how to adjust my system to allow a PC using Windows XP to wirelessly print over the same local network.
I did check the "Printer Sharing" in my Sharing Folder preferences... but to no avail. The PC setup wizard just does not "see" my HP Desktop 5100 during its search for printers.
Thanks,
Joe

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.

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!

How do I share printing between mac and Vmware Fusion?

I am trying to print from mac and from Windows XP installed in a virtual machine via VMWare fusion on my IMac. If I am able to print from Mac then when I switch over to Fusion and try to print it errors stating the the printer is disconnected. If I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it will print. Same with mac if it is printing okay on Fusion and I try to print from mac it acts like it is printing but it is not sent to the printer, if I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it prints. Printer sharing and window sharing is on. Any suggestions?

I suggest you post your question on the Microsoft Mac Office forums as that's where the Office gurus hang out...

Best all-in-one wireless printer for Mac 10.9.2

Looking for best wireless all-in-one for home use. I have Mac OSX 10.9.2, iPhone 5, iPad and a wireless network. Not technically inclined. Any recommendations?

I wish a few more users would take the time to share their experiences with printers. I have had a Canon MX870 for several years that is nothing but a perpetual headache -- it needs to be reconnected to the network three or four times a day or it simply will not print. There are lots of posts on this topic and I have tried every possible solution with no luck. I am reluctant to buy another Canon -- this experience has left me doubting their products. I am also reluctant, based on past experience, to consider an HP product. So that pretty much leaves Epson -- but which Epson? I am looking for an all-in-one wireless printer that will STAY CONNECTED to the network. Top-quality printing would be nice, but frankly, it's not on the top of my priority list. I just want to be able to use the printer, scanner and copier without wasting an hour of my day on maintenance. If you have had positive experience in this regard, please take a few seconds to post your recommendations. Thanks. (I am running the latest version of Mavericks on a new Mac Pro.)

Where did the window go that gives the choice to connect by bonjour to a wireless printer in Mac OS 10.8?

I am trying to set up a wireless printer to a new macbook pro. Both the printer and the computer are on the same network but are "not connected". The printer works fine connected USB. In previous systems there is a window that gives the choice of how to connect and bonjour is listed along with USB. I cannot seem to find that window in 10.8. I think the computer is just trying to connect USB and needs to be told to look for wireless printers? The printer does not even appear in the add window when it is unplugged. The drivers are updated. I have restarted everything. I have also run the wireless set up app that came with the printer. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks, Barbara

First is the wireless in the printer connected to your router? Is the Mac connected wireless to that same router? Can the Mac ping (/YourHardDrive/Applications/Utilities/Network Utility, ping mini-tab) the printer's IP (that your wireless router gave to that printer)?
Plus in 10.8.x to add a printer is first to get it's "driver" for that printer. Sometimes Apple might have a driver (for certain models) that will get in Software Update (when printer is attched to your Mac). The other way is to go to printer's web page and get their latest OS X drivers.
Then once you have the drive just open System Preferences->Print & Scan pane and use the + button to add the new driver for the printer. For this networked printer make sure you get the IP of that printer because you might need that IP here.

Wireless printer for Mac OS X v 10.5.8

I have a Mac OS X v 10.5.8 - are there any wireless printers that will work with this version? I purchased an HP Deskjet 3520 and it is not compatible. Apparently I need to have a minimum of 10.6. What HP printers are compatible?
Thank you.

I use a Canon MG8120 wireless printer/scanner with computer OS's 10.5 through 10.7.

HP C6180 not responding with wireless print from Mac OS X 10.9

My Printer does not work with wireless printing from my Macbook Air OS X 10.9
I tried all the normal stuff I can find.
The text that is there is: The Printer is not responding.

Hi XavierMaassen,
I understand you have a Photosmart C6180 that you're having issues using in Mac 10.9. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will certainly do my best to assist you.
I'm wondering how you installed the printer. If you had it installed prior to upgrading to 10.9 that could be part of the problem. There are currently no HP drivers available for this printer for 10.9, so you need to uninstall the HP software and install the printer via the Apple updates. Once you do that you should be able to print normally and scan using 3 different methods.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

No way to set up wireless printing in Mac OS X Lion

I just got a CP1025nw color LaserJet, and there appears to be no way to set up the wireless printing feature in Lion. The included HP Installer application on the CD refuses to run on any system later than 10.6.x. The software downloaded through Apple's software update feature allows me to print over USB, but there is no capability to set up the wireless.

Hi zcave,
For products that don't have the option to connect to wireless networks using the front panel, the only option is with the Full Feature software install. Currently this product does not have a Full Feature software solution.
There is a workaround, if you have a windows pc as well (or have a way to get the product near a windows pc - i.e. a friend's house - temporarily).
You can run through the USB setup of Wireless from a windows system, inputting your home wireless network info during this process. Following that, the printer will be on the network (or will be configured for your network, if you brought the printer to a friend's house). Now, after installing the driver on the Mac via USB, you just need to remove the printer from Print & Scan (The USB version) and add the Wireless entry (Bonjour).
Hope this helps

HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit and MacBook

Hi,
I've bought the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit to connect my printer at the wireless network. That printer is HP Color Laserjet CM1312 MFP. I've set the a static IP on the router settings and for the Windows PC, that are in my wireless network at my home, everything works well.
The problem is about the connection with the MacBook (10.6.8) because there aren't some driver or solution to obtain the access to that printer from a user that isn't on a windows.
Do you have some ideas to help me?
Best,
Matteo

Hello Matteo,
Thanks for the post on the upgrade kit. If you have not already, I might recommend posting this question to the link below. Good Luck!

Printing to wireless printer hangs PC and does no print job is output from printer

1) Hi I have the following configuration:
- B110 all in one wireless HP device with a static IP
- AMD 64 desktop running Window XP professional with the latest service packs and patches, also running Symantec Firewall and Antivirus and also a static IP address
2) I can access using HTTP the printer from my desktop and perform a scan, inspect the printer ink levels and configuration all ok
3) I have installed the printer drivers on the desktop and executed all tasks in the setup wizard, when the wizard checks communication with the printer some errors are detected that the some ports may be blocked so I:
3.1) Uninstall the software
3.2) Reboot the PC and printer
3.3) Disable Symantec firewall
3.4) Disable windows firewall
3.5) Re-execute the installation of the HP software
3.6) The install completes with no errors
4) When I attempt to print to the printer using any form of the following:
4.1) Windows test print page
4.2) HP test print page
4.3) MS word document
This occurs:
4A) The printer initalises and tranistions to a state of printing
4B) The PC hangs
4C) The printer does not print anything
4D) The pc requires a hard reset to recover from this
5) I have tried using both wireless and the ethernet port from the PC and each time the above in point 4 happens
6) To test I have a dual core Intel laptop running the exact operating system as the desktop with identical Symantec firewall and Antivirus software that I have installed the printer software onto that works fine with no issues whatsoever.
Any ideas please?

Hi,
Did you try the HP priner diagnostic tool?
If your are running XP 64 bit then your printer is not supported.
Be sure to apply all of the updates that are listed.
The other thing to try is to completely remove all of the HP printer software. Now reinstall the software but instead configure and connect the PC using USB. Does that work?
Please elaborate more on the ethernet connectivity. I am a bit puzzled since none of the B110 printer have ethernet ports.

Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit and Laserjet P1006

Hello,
I am just wondering if the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit is compatible with the HP Laserjet P1006 printer. It is not listed on the compatibility list but I have read several accounts of people who claim to be using them together. I have also read posts that state they are not compatible. Either way, they will not work together for me so I am trying to figure out if it is something I am doing wrong in the setup or if the two pieces of hardware are simply not compatible. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Lauren
P.S. I am using a Dell XPS M1310 Notebook with Vista.

Hi,
I guess that would help:

In turn, I was wandering if one could get away without the PC dongle to avoid the PC looking like a porcupine and rely on the PC's bluetooth or Wi-Fi adapters.

Adding D110a wireless printer to Mac

Hello, I've been working for hours trying to install my new D110a printer to my Mac, running OS 10.6.5. After researching other issues in the forums, I've still had no luck.
• The printer is connected to my Linksys WRT110 router and is working with ePrint services just fine (The router uses WPA2 Personal with TKIP or AES)
• I am able to connect to the printer via a WIFI-connected Dell laptop
• From my Mac, I can always connect to the printer's EWS
• My Mac can find and print to the printer within the first minute of turning on the printer (most of the time), but after that minute, finding the printer and printing to it is impossible (connecting to the EWS is still possible from the Mac, though)
• I have downloaded the newest HP drivers for Mac and have run HP update on the printer
• The printer is set on a static IP, which again has been working with ePrint and my Dell
• When I add the printer to my mac via the IP address, I can intermittently connect to the printer's information via "HP Utility", but when I try to print, it says that the printer is "Paused" (I resume, but it goes back to being paused)
• Trying to connect via Bonjour is just as inconsistent
Again, I've gotten it to work on occasion, but nowhere near consistent. I've disabled Norton and the firewall, but still no luck.
I've gone through the mac troubleshooting info already.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if you need more information.
Joe

All right--I repeated step 2 from (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=40232... again, and tried to install...no luck.
I restored the router to factory defaults, restored the printer to factory defaults, and started from scratch.
Again, I was able to install the find and install the printer within one minute of turning on the printer through the installation. I could print, scan and communicate without any problems, from my Mac. After a few minutes though, my computer wasn't able to find the printer. I couldn't print, scan, or gather information from the printer. I could print via ePrint, but not directly from my computer.
When I try installing again, it won't find the printer...UNLESS I turn off the printer and turn it back on again (then communications are fine for the first few minutes, then gone again thereafter).
Quick question--can the printer be connected to more than one computer? Or do I need to set it up through one computer, and have the computer share the printer? This wouldn't solve my problem, necessarily, because no other computer is turned on when I'm working on this...just curious.
Thanks again for the help,
Joe

Using Wireless printer 4500 series and prints dark from laptop but light when sent from a phone?

I am using a wireless f4580 printer i believe and when I print from my laptop the item print dark but when I send items from my Iphone 4 to the print they print so light you can barely see them and I just replaced the ink so I know it isn't that. What am doing wrong or what do I need to do? thanks in advance.

Do you see any advanced options for managing print quality, like "Economode printing" or changing print speed (draft, normal, best etc.) while printing from Iphone4? If yes, then choose options to give best print output.
If there are no options available while printing document, then you might need to see if you have same document or same document properties & contents (font - size, color, etc.) while printing from different computers.
