Printer LaserJet 4050 for Mac

Trying to get the Pro Mac OS X 10.10.1 office to recognize the printer running. The printer was formerly with an old Windows machine. Connected with the new serial cable 9-pin to USB port.  Mac can't find the printer.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

USB to parallel adatpers are the blind.  Best suggestion I can give is to buy a direct jet EIO card from ebay.  Model 600N, 610N and coming 615N work are very expensive.  Install the card in the printer with the power off and connect to your router or switch, and then reset the cold of the printer by pressing the green button while turning on the printer until cold reset appears in the menu of the printer.  Release and wait for the printer to come on loan.  Wait about 2 minutes for the printer obtain and ip address and see if the MAC can automatically discover the printer.  If she can very well and she not print a printer configuration page and the use of the ip address to load the printer on Mac.

    DeskJet usable with Mac OS 10.5.8 1512?

    Hi Nicotek,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your Deskjet 1512. 1512 Deskjet will not work with 10.5 and below, it is only compatible with 10.6 and above. With your Mac, the software cannot be installed. Sometimes, if you plug a USB for Mac it will print. The only other options would be to consider another model that is compatible with 10.5 obtaining or upgrading the operating system so that Mac can allow an upgrade to 10.6.

    I'm sorry to inform you.

  • Drivers HP LaserJet 1020 for Mac OS x 10.7 Lion

    Hello

    I'm adding LaserJet 1020 Mac OS x 10.7 (Lion).

    According to this page , this printer is supported by Apple and its driver comes with OS. But when I add the printer in the "Print & Scan' it says that the driver for this printer is NOT available at Apple.

    Does anyone know how to use this printer on MacOSX?

    Thank you

    Alexander

    The insistence on the part of HP the 1020 has never supported on Mac is total nonsense. The Laserjet 1020 has been announced and sold as being compatible with Mac. I bought mine from an authorized retailer of Mac and still have the original box with the 'Compatible Mac' sticker on this subject. I have been running the 1020 with my iMac G5 for 5 years and never had any problem of support until I bought an iMac OS X Lion last week. The refusal to support this product is nothing more than a grab for money to force users to buy new equipment, despite owning a printer otherwise fully functional.

    Fortunately, you can run the 1020 on Lion with the 1022 driver. Follow the instructions at the top of the following link and read the extra step for Lion in the #63 comment. Printer driver use the 1.3 1022 and you should have no trouble to get your printer to work.

  • Photosmart HP 6510 cannot print in Parallels for Mac using Windows 7

    Currently, I use the model above the printer with my Macbook (OS x Mountain Lion) and have no problem printing with the Mac.

    The problem is when I'm in (Parallels Desktop 8) mode of the virtual machine and I am trying to print from Windows 7.

    Although it seems to be recognizing the printer it tells me the printer is "offline: 1 document waiting."

    Parallels support pages say that printers should operate automatically.

    Can anyone help?

    Looks a bit like a mixed configuration here, where you are using a Macintosh with Windows loaded on the system. My first question is on the profile that you are working with you have loaded the appropriate drivers on the site for the Windows machine? Here's a link to it:

  • Cannot find the printer Laserjet 5100 for Windows 7 driver

    I have a HP Laserjet 5100 printer installed on a computer running XP that is on a network without internet access working group.  I have a new Windows 7 computer to the same workgroup.  I want to print documents created on Windows 7 computer with the Laserjet Printer, but I need to install the printer driver Windows 7 to do this.  The drivers of HP support site says the necessary driver is built into Windows 7, but it tells me it's name or I would like to download it.  Suggestions on how to find or download the driver or what is called?

    Hi micror,.

    Drivers for Windows 7 are only available online through Windows Update...

    If the specific computer is unable to access the web, you can download the drivers from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

    As you the not mentioned your operating system type, you can find the two options below...

    If you are not sure of your type of operating system, follow the steps below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02033168

    For the edition of 32-bit operating system, use the first result, 64-bit for the third or the fifth option (that very of your processor type, wrong that does not...)

    http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=LaserJet%205100

    To download the Microsoft driver, first add the required file to the basket.

    Then click on view basket and follow the download link...

    Because the packet is compressed, you will need to use any archiver program to extract (for example Winrar).

    Last but not least, as a printer is installed on Windows XP can not be automatically shared with the new client OS you need to add drivers to manually as follows:

    1. After you download the right driver to extract it to a temporary folder.
    2. From the Client (Windows 7) go to printers and devices and click Add a printer.
    3. Select this option to add a local printer
    4. From the port selection screen you can create a new port by selecting a Local Port.
    5. In the port name fill a \\HOSTNAME\Sharename prefix
      • To locate the host name of your HOST computer (XP PC), made a right click my computer and select Properties, the hostname will be listed on this screen...
      • To locate the name of the share go to printers and faxes, click right-click the printer icon and select Properties... Then, go to the sharing tab and appears the share name.
    6. Continue add it an assistant of the printer and the driver selection, click on disk... Browse ocntaining pilots the INF folder from your printer.

    Good luck

    By entering the password, you must press the key several times to switch between its different characters, such as those used to type a SMS with mobile devices...

    for example, each press of the button 2 you place a, b, c, then 2.

  • E:, HP ENVY, HP ENVY 4500 4500 don't scan pdf for MAC, only jpeg; used to work properly.

    HP ENVY 4500 worked fine a month previously, now don't scan pdf for MAC, jpeg only.  Also do not accept the file name.  Is there a doctor of printing & scanning HP for MAC?

    Hi Maryjon , thanks for getting back to me!

    I appreciate the info.

    I suggest to remove the printer from your printing system, using this document: uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once you have deleted, I suggest to check and repair disk permissions: function to fix the permissions of all utility disk drive.

    I also run your Apple updates: OS x: Mac App Store apps and OS X update

    After the updates, I recommend you to reinstall the series HP ENVY 4500 full feature software and drivers.

    Good luck and please let me know how it goes!

  • Printing problems with HP LaserJet 4050 TN

    Hi all

    I have a HP LaserJet 4050 TN and I connected on my desktop Dell (8 64-bit Windows) with a parallel cable / USB (TrendNet 1284).

    When I try to print, nothing happens (eventually I get an error message from Windows 8 on the right that says: "error of HP LaserJet printing...) The printer could not print").

    The printer is on, of course, and it is able to print (for example, test configuration page prints very well).

    From the printer connection, looks like it automatically installed the HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL 5 driver.  I tried to update and it says that it is up-to-date.

    Any ideas what the problem may be?  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    ----

    Edit

    ----

    Just to add that this printer model seems not support a network connection for the HP site. I try the parallel-usb connection since it seems to be the only option to connect the printer to my computer.

    More that likely the IP you have assigned manually whenever you got the printer. The Jet Direct card is when you connect the ethernet cable into the printer. I have 2 screws in the top and bottom.

    What I would do is a cold reset so your home network could affect its own IP address.

    With the printer off, press the big green button, and then turn on the printer. Wait what he say cold reset on the display, then release the button. Connect your network cable, wait about 1 to 2 minutes for DHCP to assign an IP address and print a configuration page. The second page will show you the IP address.

    Then go to your driver, click on Ports and change the port to a Standard TCP/IP port. If it is not available, then create a new port. Enter the IP address of the printer and print a test page.

  • HP LaserJet 4050: Error printing on HP Laserjet 4050 and 4100 Windows R2 2012

    We have recently migrated our Windows Server 2003 environment to Windows Server R2 2012.  Some of our printers, specifically HP Laserjet 4050 and 4100 no longer work with Server R2 2012, even if we downloaded the drivers for Windows R2 2012 from the Internet HP site and made sure the printer was using the new driver from HP.  When you try to print from the server or terminal connection, we get a "printing error" in the status field in the queue.  We do not know what to do to get these printers to print.  We have several of them and redirect users to print to another printer which is further so they can print.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Best regards

    Paul

    If you cannot print from the server, then on the server, the parameters must be incorrect.  You can even ping the printers on the server?  Since you have more than 1 printer with this problem I doubt that all the printers hp all wrong.  Something else in the way that you configure these printers must be the issue.  If you can ping and also access the web server, then I think you have problems with active directory.  If you can not ping so perhaps have changed the ip addresses or the road you take these ip address has changed.

  • LaserJet professional M1217 nf: cannot scan over network with a printer laserjet 1217 on a Mac

    Hello

    My set up:

    Mac with Yosemite

    LaserJet M1217 more wireless

    Description of the problem:

    I can't scan. Preview, the control panel or image capture, I get the same error saying "cannot open a session.

    I have installed and reinstalled the drivers/printer about 100 times.

    I tried to add the printer/scanner like airprint, or with the name of the printer as a proposed post.

    Just what causes the same error.

    I have the 2.0 version of the driver installed right now. Tried with 1.7, same result.

    I can print without problem since my Mac and my iPad.

    Tried it with an ethernet cable and have the same problem in case someone ask.

    I looked all over google and doesn't seem like someone else has the same problem? Many people have problems printing over wireless, but it's ok for me. Is the scan, I can't go to work.

    Pages of HP does not offer any other driver which has of the Yosemite. HP offers no additional program for Mac and scan.

    Don't know what else to try.

    Little help? Anyone?

    Thanks Geminy02,

    Unfortunately, your suggestions did not help, and I have a few comments about them.
    First of all, your suggestion about the router was the problem is quite impossible, as you will need to check if the ports are open only in the case we're talking about two different network segments. If you have your printer and your computer in the same segment you will have problems of ports.
    Second: if I would have chosen IP protocol to add my printer, I wouldn't take the option scan, as you said, which means I could not done any tests that I mentioned in my original post, and I would never have had to the point of getting the error message.
    Thirdly: the drivers that you MENTION for download are exactly the same as you get with yosemite, so, this could help to reinstall the driver, it's kind of a long shot (and yes I tried).

    In fact, I managed to solve my problem by doing a factory reset of the printer, any sign of a printer in my computer, cleaning and reinstall the printer using the airprint driver suggested by yosemite where to find my bounjur printer.

    I tried ro think what could be the reason, or to see all what I had changed, and the only thing I've seen different in the configuration before and after he started to work was the name of the printer. When it did not work my printer was called simply "printer", when he was working he was the full name that comes by default. It would be very strange, that this is the reason, but I just mention it here just in case someone read. I believe that the factory reset was the difficulty, not the configuration itself.

    Just for the other readers, I can confirm that this unit can print and scan over my wiresless and cable network on yosemite, with the help of preview, capture image or scan property in the control panel. It took me several hours to make it work, but it does, and my best friend was all the time the printers web page, where you can change the configuration of the printer.
