HP Deskjet 1280 printing program (Mac)

I'm doing some impression of photos using my my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.8). Deskjet 1280

I installed the driver from here... http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=439174&p...

Later a HP have is 10.6.5 - I guess it should work with later versions. I installed what went well.

In printer "Driver" preferences, "Generic PCL Laser Printer" has been selected. With this selecetd, I could only print in B & W.

I tried to look for Deskjet 1280 in the drop-down list pilot but he wasn't there. The closest I could find was HP Deskjet 1200 C - v5.2.3 Glentenprint.

I tried printing with it and it prints in color. However, when I go to print, there is no options to select the type of paper, printing etc. The qulity that comes out is low.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hello

The pilot below 10.5 and below.

Officially, the unit is therefore more compatible with the new version of the OS.

The 3rd party Gutenprint printer driver does not support the specific printer.

However, you can try the 3rd party HPIJS print driver that support your printer. That's why should provide more detailed options and a better quality.

Below you can download HPIJS and find the installation instructions:

  • Limitation of Deskjet 6840 print with mac OS 10.6.8

    I have a Deskjet 6840, and I recently installed the system 10.6.8 on my iMac.  Since installation, the dialog box that allows me to indicate what pages of a document that I want to print is no longer see printer - which makes it necessary to print the entire document, even if I want only a page of it.  (Formerly, when I clicked 'print' a dialog box appears that allowed me to make a number of choices regarding the pages, the number of copies, collation, etc..)  Now, my only choice is to print or not to print).

    Anyone know what is happening here?  Or how to fix it?  Thank you - jdpv

    Hello

    The print dialog box must contain the required options.

    Make sure that the print details are displayed by clicking on the blue triangle next to the name of the printer.

    If you do not see the options yet, please specify which application you are printing from.

  • DeskJet 2540: cannot convert mac wireless usb printer

    Hello

    I'm having a problem setting my printer all-in-one Deskjet 2540 on my macbook (osx El Capitan). After basic implementation through usb connection, I was able to connect my printer to my router, which makes possible wireless printing. I was then able to print wireless from my phone using remote control all-in-one app.

    However, I now want my macbook to establish a wireless connection to the printer instead of the usb connection that is used for configuration. I can't find the option to convert a usb printer to a printer that is connected to the wifi. When disconnecting from usb, laptop computer notes the connection with the printer is lost. To install my printer, I use the HP Utility software, in which I can't find such an option. Also, when passing through Apple-> system-> printers and scanners preferences I can't find an option "convert to wireless. I also read a method via Finder-> applications-> HP and then an icon for installing the software & should be there? In my case, there is only the HP Utility icon which directs me to the same program in which I could not find the option.

    What I was looking for, and where can I find it?

    Might be a little exaggerated description, but I hope that this makes it extremely clear...

  • Printing from MAC for Deskjet 3050 ALL in one J611n - printer "Not connected" error message

    Good afternoon

    I have problems printing my MAC Book Pro to the printer above.  I said that it is not connected and prints However, when I checked status it shws Networkas "Ready" and the connection as "active"? He doesn't seem to know if it is or isn't?

    I had this problem before on occasions, but now it is a permanent one after upgrading my operating system to 'Maverick '. Now, I have what you call love at first sight bridge on my MAC and don't know what it is for! This has something to do with it? Love at first sight does not appear connected either?

    It's a real pain and I think to get rid of my printer without wire-HELP!

    In addition to the above, I noticed the following error message when I try to print:

    Device status: unknown

    I.D. service: unknown

    I.W Version: unknown

    Serial number: unknown

    Driver version: 2.3.1 HP inkjet driver (why this displays when it's a Deskjet 3050 J611n?)

    Product number: unknown

    I.K no 658

    Watch the device Staus and office as "Unknown".

    3rd update me! In the HP utility is see two printers?  The other has all the full details above with serial numbers and all the info. Watch Staus 'idle' and our 'good '.

    Tracy

    I see that I had 20 veiws and no answer!

    I am new to Mac and not very techno, however I seem to have solved this problem myself.

    I think that after turning to 'Maverick' on my Mac OS Lion, duplicate the printer as 2 showed in 'utility '.

    "I basically deleted that was not'online ' or 'connected '.

    Problem solved!

  • Mac: Problem related to the HP Deskjet D5560 printer

    Hi, I have successfully installed my new HP Deskjet D5560 printer on my Macbook Pro. But I can't stay connected to the printer when I use internet or I can not connect to the printer if im connected to my wireless internet.

    To connect to my printer I have to click airport in the notification area high on the page, then select "hpsetup" in the devices section. This disconects me from the internet.

    It is said in the network settings

    "The airport has the 169.254.246.xxx of auto assigned IP address and won't be able to connect to the Internet."

    Please help because I need to be able to stay connected to the internet and print at the same time.

    Ive been working on the issue. For anyone having the same problem, follow these easy steps.

    (1) make sure wireless is enabled (the blue led is on), then hold down the silver button that has an arrow pointing down, about 3 seconds.

    (2) the printer will print a few pages of stats and look for the SSID address or a network. It will be something like 168.0.124.xx ect.

    (3) type this number in your web browser, such as safari, IE ect. It will open a page to do with your printer. Open the network tab, and then run the Network Wizard.

    (4) select your wireless internet connection and put the password, for example WEP or WAP ect. You will then be able to use your printer and internet through your normal internet connection.

    Hope it makes sense, and if it isn't, answer and I'll go through more carefully.

    Good luck

  • hp deskjet 1510 printing too dark

    Hello

    As says the subject, my HP Deskjet 1510 printer is printing too dark. Does anyone know how to change this?

    Thank you

    Thanks for the reply.

    You try to print a photo, if so what program? If you print word documents, try printing in draft mode.

    I would like you open the printer from the desktop icon or go to Start> all programs> HP> Deskjet 1510> 1510 Deskjet series. The Printer Wizard, click the estimated ink levels> Services> print quality diagnostic report, not this dark printing page as well?

  • DeskJet 3050 has with Mac Ibook

    One month there has been no problem with Deskjet 3050 a with Mac Book Pro.  Now cannot print Pages.  Have done all the troubleshooting recommended by HP.  Printer's default; the supplies are good.  The printer is idle.  Have you tried both wireless (that worked before), and now with a usb connection.  Have spent more hours trying to correct.  Problem started with very slow printing - couple of lines, stops and then repeat until the page is done.  Now does not print at all.  Help.

    Hi again!

    I have a few suggestions that will work if everything goes well for the printing problem. Before attempting any software below, please make a copy or two out of the façade of printers to test the equipment. If the copies appear to work correctly, continue with the steps of software!

    1. Mac OS X: how to reset the printing system
    2. Repair disk permissions
    3. Restart the Mac.
    4. Install the driver full features here: HP Deskjet full feature software and drivers - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8

    Try to print from where ever you and also try printing of text editing. Let me know the results!
