HP C4780 wireless set in place with Snow Leopard

So I bought the HP C4780 printer since it's wireless and said it was easy to use.  Well up to now which seems wrong.

Here is my set up: MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard (10.6.2), Airport Express model A1264 (establishing an access point wireless in my office of the ethernet connection) and the HP C4780.  I know that the Airport Express Terminal works since I can access the internet and the rest of the office network.

Can I use the C4780 fine if I connect it directly to the MBP by USB, but I can't understand for the life of me how to connect wireless (and I don't want to connect the USB cable of the Airport Express Terminal... they are too far away without buying more cables and bat so to the point of wireless!).  All the instructions provided with the printer speak to insert the disc in place and following the installation of HP, but there was a big sticker on the box saying NOT to use the drive as all drivers are part of the leopard to snow... so basically, the instructions are useless.  Then when I look online I see no instructions specifically for Snow Leopard.  It's very frustrating!  I spent all day trying to make heads or tails of the instructions and could never make it work.

Does anyone know of some easy to follow set up instructions?  Thank you!

Try to use the method of the WPS (Wi - Fi Protected Setup) button to connect your C4780 to your Airport Express Terminal.  This linkshows how.

To activate button WPS on your C4780 method, press:

  • Scan
  • Wireless menu
  • WPS
  • Push button

  • Photosmart C4780 wireless set in place the question

    Hi all

    I tried to implement the Photosmart C4780 to print on a wireless network. I have a pc running Windows XP SP2. When I go through the process of configuring the network device it seems to pass a number of steps with no problems before you throw the following: "the printer attempted to join the network but does not receive any data. This may be caused by MAC address, filtering... "I checked the router settings, router is a Netgear Wgr614 and MAC address filtering is turned off.  I have a number of other devices connected to the network and all have very well connected without tinkering with the configuration of the router.
    When I run a wireless network test, she spends the first 5 criteria (Wirless on, working wireless, found network name, security, printer settings in line with the wireless router settings) before failing on the 6 criteria (filtering on).
    Any ideas...

    Have completed using the USB connection and which works very well but I would like to run without thread if poss.

    Thank you for your help. Neil

    It's fixed now, everything worked Ok once I changed the WEP authentication type router "Shared key" setting to "open system".

  • HP All in One Photosmart C7280 scan issue with Snow Leopard

    Hello

    I bought my wife a new cool Mac mini. So it comes with Snow Leopard. We use it for our activities with an HP printer all in one Photosmart C7280. Unfortunately the scanner does not work. I did the mistack to install HP driver from the HP website and read after documentation of the HP Web site (probably like all users). So I decided to completely re-installed the machine (as it was new) and follow the installation procedure for HP who, to say that the pilot is coming up with Snow Leopard. After the new re - install, so I installed 10.6.1 patches and last HP driver from the site Web Apple as mentioned in the forum. (version 2.2)

    The printer is correctly detected, but there is no way mak it work the scanner on HP procedures. The scanner is not recognized at all, and the printer configuration window is not appearing the scanning tab as it is supposed to. It seems that the scan part it does not work in one.

    We love HP printer and it will be great to see it fixed.

    My network configuration is very simple:

    -192.168.0.176 is the IP address of the HP printer with 255.255.255.0 netmask

    -192.168.0.106 is the MacMini (3.1) IP address mask subnet even

    All connected using a router D-Link (5 ports).

    Printer/scan function works perfectly on our other Mac systems that are under Leopard. I tried to install Leopard on the new mac mini, but the installation DVD that we have (10.5.4) does not start successfully on the machine. We are so stuck.

    Any help really appreciated

    Hello

    Good news, it worked. But I think that the problem came from the D-Link router that I used. Upnp has been set to allow, and it seems he mistook the discovery of the device. I proceed to turn off and the live showed you me overdrawn the printer on the network. I installed it, and the scanner has been recognized.

    If I turned my back to Activate Upnp, the scan function is dead. Thus, it probably is a problem of compatibility between the leopard to snow and this Protocol. What is strange, is that our whole system of leopard work with upnp enable or disable.

    Anyway thanks a lot for your help!

  • NAT with Snow Leopard issue

    For the poster who will say "Google is your friend", no it is not, or I wouldn't be here.

    I tried for a while now to solve the only problem I have with Snow Leopard Server.

    MySql has fallen lion and, apparently, no one knows how to use postgrl so I installed MySql and plundered with her for a few hours to get this working.  There were various other issues with Lion.  Finally, I went to Yosemite.  Hey Apple, where is the GUI?  Then at el Capitan and finally tried Sierra (no server app at all yet).

    For me, each 'step-up' taking things and running weaker than the last.

    Welcome to Snow Leopard.  I'll stick with it for a while to come.

    The only problem I have with Snow Leopard, it's that when it restarts, the NAT will not start upward.  Other than that, it does a magnificent job to maintain my home network.  I searched high and low for an answer without success.  A few posters who have addressed this problem specifically here never got a response.

    As this seems to be about three years or more, since this question was asked and it seems that some have migrated to the SLS, I was wondering if anyone has found a solution.

    As it is now, as soon as there is a need to reboot, I just disable the NAT service, restart and turn it back on.  In the case of a failure of current (longer than the inverter can maintain) or just a random crash, I have to kill the firewall and NAT then the configuration of the gateway of new service that requires fixing the various omissions and errors and I'm good to go again.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You have posted in the forum of Snow Leopard Client.  I ask that to move this post.  In the meantime, you can see the various forums about this trick:

  • Cannot synchronize my mac with snow leopard 10.6 with my itunes on iphone

    I use MacBook with Snow Leopard, version 10.6 and sync to my iphone with itunes 6.

    For these last months, the computer commented that the itunes on the iphone was not updated and cannot sync.

    But the itunes on the iphone is the latest version. Is the obsolete software in my MacBook? What should I do?

    Operating system of your computer is obsolete. A device running iOS 9 requires Mac OS X 10.8.5 or newer for synchronization; a MacBook must have an identifier of model at least MacBook5, 1 to run a compatible operating system.

  • Is updated to V1.1.00.20 D6200 firmware compatible with Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8)?

    Before updating the firmware, is the firmware upgrade compatible with Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) V1.1.00.20 D620 and there are problems of people had at the time?

    We're already having routing problems (the line is ok, but wifi creates connection problems, loss of packages and huge lag) so I don't want to upgrade my computer will not be able to enter the router system, otherwise it will mess up things more far.

    Yes, you'll be well updated the firmware, it should not affect connection to the modem.

  • OfficeJet 6210 does not work with snow leopard

    My officejet 6210 worked very well on Mac OS 10.5. Now that I have snow leopard, when I try to choose my printer in system preferences, it says some software are absent, and the service program does not open. When I try, I can't print from MS Word and get the error "could not start the filter" / Library/Printers/hp/cups/filters/commandtohp.filter/Contents/MacOS/commandtohp "-operation not permitted.» Stoppage of work because the Scheduler could not run a filter".

    I installed new software/drivers on the web for Mac OS 10.6, even if the software/drivers are supposed to come with snow leopard. I tried all versions of deleting and adding the printer, restart the mac and printer, etc.

    Help! Ideas in addition to give up and go back to the old operating system or buy a new printer?

    You always had the hp for 10.5 software on your Mac.  Either uninstall or install the new software does NOT uninstall the 10.5 software correctly.

    Try this:

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
    Click on continue
    Highlight your device in the left pane
    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click on continue and let it finish

    Restart your Mac

    Now run a software update.

    Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

    If this does not work, install the wrong since the CD software (for 10.5 and earlier versions) and above of uninstall routine to run the extraordinary.

    After you get it to work, I would recommend against installing the HP software for your printer.  Scan by using the Capture of Image application into your Applications folder.

  • Business Inkjet 1200D with Snow Leopard?

    Hello

    I have a HP Business Inkjet 1200D and want to update to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 to 10.6 Snow Leopard. I have discovered so far this printer is not supported by the snow leopard or Gutenprint.

    Could someone please tell me if it will be released a printer for Business Inkjet 1200D driver that can be used with Snow Leopard?

    If so, can you estimate how long it will take until that this driver will be available?

    Thank you in advance!

    best regards mxFred

    If you use the Leopard 10.5 DVD and run the installation of the optional system, you can install the drivers of 10.5 HP and it worked for me. I don't know why HP says it is not compatible because my HP Business Inkjet 1200 works now fine with Snow Leopard.

  • DeskJet 3000 j310a does not work with Snow Leopard

    I have a printer wireless 3000 j310a dj. Until recently he worked well with Win XP, Win 7, and Mac Leopard computers. After that I updated the Mac OS to Snow Leopard, I can't print wirelessly from Mac. I used the re HP Installer - install the most recent driver. I tried to manually configure the printer with a static IP address. I deleted all printers in Mac system preferences, deleted all of the print queues and installed everything from scratch. Nothing works. When I try to print the printer Mac responds after a longer while the IP address of the printer is busy. Still I can log tool set up printer by typing the printer's current IP address and print a test page for that (even if printing is very slow).

    I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?

    What router are you using? You've restarted it by pulling its plug momentarily?

  • HP Photosmart Premium c309a doesn't fully work with Snow leopard 10.6.1

    I don't see any answers in the Forum on my printer model, so here goes-

    The printer is configured for a wireless connection.

    Cannot get IPhoto to print on a photo plate, no matter how I play with the settings in the Menu print.  However, using the keypad of the printer, I can print from the photo tray color photos using a flash drive.

    IPhoto and other apps, IWork 09 and ILife 09 will print to main paper tray, but not in color.

    Using the keypad of the printer, I can copy and print from the glass in BW and color.

    Cannot use Scan function Scanpro HP or the Device Manager, but can scan and print photo tray and main tray (but no computer or a drive - error message says no link found.

    All reports - network wireless, Network Configuration, Fax, printer status, test and HP homepage, say all right.

    I used suggestions from HP website without result, and the very nice fellow HP Chat Line, Manuel, told me in English that I have to contact MicroSoft for help.   I found a Web page apparently new to Mac users (HP printing from a Macintosh 10.5) and HP Mac-connect, but they do not seem to be updated for Snow Leopard.

    I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, nothing helps.  I also tried the suggestion of Forum to use the option installs on my Snow Leopard disc, but when I go through the steps and software options are listed, the printer list shows zero KB and the 'Continue' button is grayed out.  No help there.

    I also used most often suggestions - unplug the printer, restart the computer, etc, nothing works.

    HP is still working for the full feature software and driver for C309a compatible with Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You can check on the HP Web site for updates. What you have there is just the base driver which is preinstalled on your pc.
