My HP 4480 printer shows up on my MacAir but won't print. It is connected by a usb cable. I have tried powering off and on the printer to no avail!  I have installed the latest driver for Apple Mac as well.Â
Info:
MacBook Air
I typically pass along my 'old' macs to my parents or in-laws when I upgrade. They basically use them for email and word processing, so they don't need anything fancy and I can troubleshoot them or walk them through something over the phone. (Please note we are talking 80 year olds here)
We have a Powerbook on 10.2.8 - probably 5-6 years old. The printer failed and needed replacement. So we went to Office Depot (or Office Max) and he liked the HP F-4480.
Here's the problem - when I try to do plug and use, the computer tells me that it doesn't have a driver for the 4000 series. When I put the CD that came with the printer into the Mac, it tells me that I need 10.4 or 10.5.
So is there any way (or a driver available) that I can use these printer with 10.2 - would prefer not to spend the money on updating this computer given its usage ('my' current computer is 10.5.x and I'm waiting on Snow Leopard).
my macbook pro wont connect to the printer properly. sometimes it connects and it prints for a few days but most of the time it wont work. it says that it is connected but when i try to print it says printer offline. how do i connect it to the prtiner permanently?

I'm new to Mac OS X, but have been working with Linux for almost 9 yrs now. I have set up a Linux box with CUPS 1.3.9. I can print from the server, and from other Linux stations to that remote server. However, I can't print from a client MacBook.
I set up CUPS on the client Mac via http://localhost:631 and created a printer associated with the remote queue / printer on Linux (the URL I use on OS X is http://mylinuxserver:631/printers/hpprinter and the driver is RAW).
I have no problems sending a test page from the CUPS web interface on Mac OS X to the Linux server -- the test page gets printed OK. However, I can't see the printer I just defined from other Mac OS X apps, and neither can I see it from the Add Printer Dialog on System Preferences (it's empty).
I tried creating the printer at the Add Printer dialog, but it would neither let me specify an HTTP URL (as far as I know, I had to use the IP icon on the toolbar) nor specify "RAW". So I tried creating a "dummy" printer in the Add Printer dialog, with a basic config, and then changing it from the CUPS web GUI. This didn't work either, since when I went back to the Add Printer dialog, the printer was gone.

I'm using a MacBook, Mac OS 10.5.8. I've downloaded the driver for HP LaserJet m1319f MFP and the printer worked fine when I connect it directly to my MacBook (using USB connection).The problem is that printer is supposed to be connected to our office network users through a TP-Link Print Server (TL-PS110U). I've tried to use AppleTalk to connect to that print server but my MacBook only recognized that HP printer as a HP Fax machine and I can't print anything.

I was having problems printing from my Canon LBP6000. Print jobs remained held in the queue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mac CAPT Ve r340 driver from Canon's website, no improvement. The printer works fine with my Windows laptop. I found an option to remove all printers from the Print preferences section. I can't remember how I did this, but all printers were removed. I reinstalled the above driver, but now in the 'print & scan' - 'add printer' section, I have no printer options. And no idea how to get printer options.

My MacBook, 5,1; OS 10.6.8 can't seem to print directly using my Canon Pixma MP 640htheÂ
It can find the printer as an IJ device via LAN, and it will tell me that the print job is being sent and that it has printed but nothing comes out. Same result when i connected it via USB cable. Have tried installing/reinstalling drivers from Canon and even once got it to print a test page. Â

I have a macbook running 10.5.8 and used to be able to print to the network connected (wired) HP Photosmart 6180 printer until recently. I installed a new driver as part of the trableshooting steps and while I can print a test page and see the status of the printer, I can't print from any applications like Word. I've tried all of the t-shooting steps I can find. What am I missing. The job acts like it's going to print and then the printer queue icon bounces with a caution symbol in front of it and the queue says connecting to print on port 631.... printer busy will try connecting again in <> seconds and there is nothing printing to it and the printer is silent.

I'm trying to print to my wireless Epson Stylus NX430. I want to print in grayscale- when I print something the print que pops up and with an error saying, "looking for printer." The printer is connected to my wireless. What can I do?

I bought an Epson C2800N which is a network laser printer. It is connected to my router with "ethernet" cable. I am able to connect to my printer over cable connection (when i have my MPB network connection with "ethernet" cable) but when I use the wireless connection (airport) I can't connect to my printer. It happens with my MBP17 and my bro's MBP15'.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to print a legal size 4 page document. The first page printed then the printer stopped. I've tried repeatedly to print page 2, but it never gets beyond the 'sending print data'. I tried deleting the job but it didn't go away. I finally had to shut down my MacBook and the printer, then restart them and the job was gone. But I still get the 'sending print data' when I try to print page 2.

I have a Macbook air and my printer is a canon 6150.Â
When I go to print it doesn't always print out properly when I am using word and adobe pdf files. It seems to print ok when I open documents in preview.Â
I have been on the phone to canon and reinstalled the printer drivers and tested the printer by doing a colour copy and printing on my phone. Both of these work. As these work the cannon dude says its something to do with the setting in my computer rather than an issue with the printer.Â

Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again. Then, if the Print dialog box has a [Printer Info] button, acquire the printer information.: 10322

I am running a Mac 10.6.4 with Windows 7 also running through VMFusion There are two printers installed a Kyocera and an OKI C3400. When I first got these set up, both printers worked with Apple applications and with Windows 7 applications. Now, for no apparent reason, the OKI, which continues to work with Apple applications, does not work with Windows apps. - after trying to print, the printer queue shows "error" The Printer Properties shows it to be connected to theTPVM port as is the Kyocera printer I am not aware of having made any alterations to the settings to cause this A long session with a patient adviser on the OKI helpline, including deleting and re-installing the OKI printer has failed to cure the problem. I really do need my colour printer working through Windows
View 1 Replies View RelatedMade a custom TCP/IP port on the PC. Assigned my Mac's IP address 192.16.1.101 as the location of the printer. Made sure protocol was set to RAW. Everything should work but the print job never makes it to the Mac. The print que on the PC shows error and the print que on the Mac never shows anything. I decided to delete all the printers on the PC, plug it in directly to the printer via usb and let it install the drivers, print test page etc... After that I reconnected the printer to the mac, pc to the network and just changed the port on the printer properties to reflect the IP address. It still didn't work. I can't seem to find any more information on what to do next. The PC is running Win XP and the Mac is on Leopard. Another thing, how does the PC know which printer to use if the Mac has two attached? I disabled sharing on the other printer thinking the PC might have been confused.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to figure out how to add a printer, everything on the printer is setup. I can see the printer in my network (see photo, it's the EXROX-ALLINONE), but when I add it, it won't print anything, just waits and waits. I do know the internal ip for that printer if that helps.
I don't get how I can see the printer when I add it, but it just won't print.
I have finally upgraded to BT fibre optics. But it means the ethernet printer I have needs to be set up again using a new IP address.When I go to add printer > IP > IPP > using 192.168.1.10 everything seems ok.... Except I get Print Using > Generic Postscript Printer.When I go to Print Using > Select Printer Software.... All I get is a dialog with no printer software listed.In ~ Library/Printers/ there are lots of printer folders. Why isn't Lion software finding my printer software?

We have a broken networkport on our HP Laserjet P2015dn, and need it to print from 4 macs in the office. 3times osX 10.4.11 and 1time osX 10.6.4 (all except 1 non-intel; running windows XP via Parallels and connected on the general office network). I am currently sharing the printer via USB (broken networkport) connected via a Mac using 10.4.11. I can print from every Mac, obviously. However, I can't print or know how to set this up for use in Windows (parallels).
