• Mac Book Pro and HP Envy 110F wireless printing problems

  I got my Mac book Pro for Christmas 2013 and initially had no problem printing wireless to my HP Envy 110F, but for some reason, I keep getting problems with printing to the envy of 110. We don't have printing problems with our Ipad for this printer.

  I can connect the printer to my Mac book Pro by putting 192.168.1.72 IP address in a web browser, but I get on the symbol bit offline when I print the urge. Last night I reinstalled the printer to print wireless on my mac pro book using a printer cable, which then worked well, but today the same problem reappeared.

  I'm starting to think that the problem may have started with the latest version of the update of the operating system to the Mavericks 10.9.4.

  All thoughts welcome.

  Hi @UKCheshire

  Since you are able to print from the iPad to the wireless printer, I suspect you have to something. I think that the question has something to do with the communication between the printer and the computer and not between the printer and the router. Please use the following document to solve the problem; "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Mac OS X.

  If the problem persists, do not give up hope, let me know and we will work through it together.

• Printing problems with XP and Lexmark-documents are just stuck in the print queue

  Original title: printing problems with XP and Lexmark

  Until yesterday, I was able to print OK using Windows XP and a Lexmark Printer series 3500-4500 with wireless capabilities.  Reported network test wireless (on printer) and report indicates that there are no reported problem, also did the diagnostic test and which shows no problem either.  I can't print and documents are just stuck in the print queue - please can someone help, it drives me crazy because it's probably a very simple solution.

  I guess you do not have all of the error messages.

  It is possible that comes to mind that your printer has received a new IP address of your router (this could easily happen if you have several computers and other devices that connect to your wireless network).

  Find the IP address of the printer of his network diagnostic page.
  Click Start > printers and faxes, right-click the printer and select Properties
  Select the Ports tab, then click on the button "Configure Port" (be careful NOT to click anywhere in the list of ports)
  Make sure that the IP address in 'Port settings' is identical to that shown on the diagnosis of your network printer page.

  To avoid this problem in the future, you must configure the printer to have a static IP address.  See your printer User Guide for instructions.

  Choose an appropriate subnet address (i.e., has the first 3 groups of numbers the same as the other addresses in your network) but who is not in the range of addresses assigned by the DHCP server on your router.  See the User Guide of your router for more details.

• Printing problems with my printer Epson Stylus NX510 wireless.

  original title: Wireless printer issues...

  Help!  My router died and I work from a Home Office, so I use a wireless on loan from my ISP... it is a temporary solution until they can get out of my house and install a new router. My internet is fine, however, my printer/scanner/copier wireless wouldn't work. So........ I uninstalled and installed using the new wireless 'name' to save it. It allows to copy, but not print from my computer. The computer recognizes it but it says it is offline connection and guard my documents in what. In addition, my Epson Stylus NX510 printer still displays a page with my ink level and tells me that it is printing this page appears but does not read my ink level and it says that my printer is ready to print. My wifi lite is on the printer...

  any suggestions?

  Thank you!

• HP Deskjet 6988 wireless printing problem

  I'm unable to print 'wide' at the HP DJ 6988 files.  The operating system is Vista Home. When it is connected to the printer via a USB cable, no problems.  When it is connected to the wireless printer, I can print small files only.  (a single page of text created in Notepad prints fine).  When I send a 'broad' file, such as a digital camera for example, the 'receiver' (green) blinking merrily away, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then on 1/8th of the photo prints, then more flashes but nothing still happens.  The print queue of the printer displays an error.  My son-in-law has printed a picture of her laptop XP, no problem?  Seems to me it may be a problem of "winding" of Vista, but I can't wait to hear him talk about someone who has solved the problem?

  Unfortunately, I believe that it is the Netgear router. I removed my old trusty Netgear FV318 and replaced it with a Linksys BEFSR81... NOTE! It is a router 'VISTA READY'.  This solves the problem. Something to do with 'stacks' but I can't be bothered, this solved all the problems.

  Hello

  Sorry to hear that you are experiencing printing problems.

  You use the functions AirPrint and ePrint? The phone is able to see the printer?

  Things to check would be that the printer and the telephone are always connected to the same wifi network and that there has been no wifi password.

  Display uppercase is considered shouting & your message is difficult to read and can be ignored by many.

  Say the HP support? Often with an HP printer, the solution the easiest is to unplug the printer, uninstall the HP printer via Add/Remove, runDisk cleaning software and restart. Then download/install latest drivers/software from HP and only connect the printer when the installation says.

  Of course its possible allways the printer failed.

• Printing problems with my HP LaserJet 3200

  I'm having a problem with my HP LaserJet 3200. Or maybe with my laptop? Sometimes when I try to print, it shows an error in the printer status area and no ready button flashing on the printer. If I cancel the print job, disconnect the USB printer for 5 to 10 seconds, plug it in again, and then click Print - it works. I can print, copy and scan, so I'm hesitant delete the printer and add it again. I use Windows 7 64-bit. I have the above work around, and this may seem trivial it will work eventually, but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to solve the problem. Thanks for your help.

• wireless printer problem: error printing

  Ive got a laptop gateway running win 7 with an epson545 all in one printer with a Wi - Fi connection.   There is another computer laptop gateway on the wireless system.  It prints very well and I can print from my iPhone.  When I try the work cancels first page in middle.  It is said in the qeue printing error.  Epson people be remove the printer reinstall with the new drivers and the problem persists.  That is what it is?

  Thanks, but these instructions seem to be for the Epson stylus and not the 545 all-in-one, installed as a printer wireless.

  The problem was solved after that I used the wizard available at Cnet spooler print.  The final resolution after use it is as follows;

  Press "Win + R" enter "services.msc" and press enter on your keyboard. Find the print spooler service and double click the left mouse button. Go to the tab login and uncheck the "allow service to interact with desktop". Click Ok and reboot your PC. Try to install your printer or print the test page, if your installed printer.

• All-in-one HP Photosmart Plus B209a wireless - printer problems

  I plug just this printer 2 weeks ago and there are already problems! A few days ago, I went to print something a TI never printed, so I checkd the queue and it says the printer is offline. I checked and the 'use printer offline' option has NOT been verified. I googled looking for help offline wireless printer and came across some tips to restart the spool.and then unplug and plug back into the printer, so I did and he went online and I was able to print 1 document of 4 pages. But after this document, I tried to print another document, and it said "error-printing" in the queue. So today, after that I restarted my computer, it worked well again - for a document. Then he returned to offline mode. So I watched fo more help online. I tried making sure the correct port with my printers IP address has been verified and he was, and I tried to uninstall and reintalling the drivers that did not help. I basically tried everyting on the HP support on the topic page and nothings worked. But it peprfectly worked well for a week so I don't see why it would be to have these problems now?

  Also, I tried to print a document 2 faces a few days (before the issuance of all offline). I went to the printing preferences, click on 'manual' under duplex print, then ok, and it printed all the odd pages, as it was supposed to. Then the screen came from promting me to take the paper in the output tray and the tray and click on continue so I did. I waited and waited and waited for a good 10 minutes and never even printed pages. In the queue it sad it was printing, but it wasn't. I cancelled the document and just tried to print a document face a regular to see if this works-it printed fine. So I tried printing 2 - against new and it's the same as before.

  The laptop I am I am trying to print from is a Sony Vaio CR320 running on Windows Vista. I have not instaled anything new in the last week, so I know there are no new program interfering. Also, I have not removed any programs.

  Any ideas? I am a student and I am a little lost without a printer lol :/

  OK, time to bring in power tools.  Download, install and run this tool.  He should tell us what is happening.  Run it when the printer shows offline.

• Officejet 6500 wireless printing problem

  Hello. Last week I got an Officejet 6500 Wireless, used. (toll-free from a friend)

  Last week, I installed a new black ink cartridge. Yesterday I printed something for the first time and it worked very well. Today, I sent a print order for five pages to a single page text document (no color on the document). The machine three copies fine, then the last two are out stained as if the ink was running out.

  I went out the black cartridge and it shook a little, used a can of air to eat the area where the cartridge fits inside the printer and I tried again, but now I get only blank pages! Does anyone have an idea of what could be the problem?

  I'm sorry you have a problem with the printing of blank pages. It could be a couple of different reason.

  The print head may need to clean or replace. Sometimes the cartridge needs to be cleaned.

  Print a self-test page and see if you get white pages.

• Envelope printing problems with M401dn

  When you print the envelopes with a M401dn Pro LaserJet, the return address is not properly merged, and there seems to be some random jobs printed in the buffer zone; the main address is printed correctly and properly merged.  I noticed the problem with greeting card envelope, and I've never had problems with before on three printers LaserJet previous (LaserJet II, LaserJet 5 p and LaserJet 2100).  With a few #10 envelopes, the return address is properly merged, but I always get the tasks in the buffer zone.

  I get the same problem if I fold a piece of paper in half and then pass it in the envelope feeder.  If the envelope feeder is empty and the paper feeds from the main Board, the return address is properly merged but I always get the tasks in the buffer zone.

  There no problems when you print just the documents.

  I seem to get the same results using the PCL 6 or the PCL 6 UPD driver.

  Any ideas?

  Hmmm... I could have sworn that I updated the paper type "Envelope", but obviously, I did not; with that restored, the problem seems to be fixed. Apparently, the fuser is powerful picky about the thickness of the paper.

  Anyway, if someone experiencing similar problems, the paper setting could well be the cause.
