The HP DeskJet F4480 is set up for wireless printing?

Hello

When I bought my F4480, I thought it was a wireless printer.  I currently have a desktop Mac Power PC G4 running Tiger (10.4.11) and a computer laptop windows XP Pro running. The printer is connected via USB to a Mac, and I tried to set up printing wireless on the laptop. After several hours of trying, googling and looking for the manual, I finally decided to post here.

Question 1 can we do? (if the answer is no, then "thank you" and I'll be on my way...)

Question 2 in the affirmative and who have already installed the necessary drivers on my laptop, what is the next step?

Sorry to be such a fool. Thanks in advance.

Series F4400 (including your part done F4480) has USB connectivity only.  The series F4500 has USB and wireless.

But, with the printer connected to your Mac, you can share printing works (but not scan) between the computers on your network.  To do this download and install Hello for Windows for your XP from here.  If your XP already has a version of Hello (installed by iTunes), uninstall before installing this version.

Run it and it will find the printer connected to your Mac.  Make sure that your Mac is enabled and that it is set to never sleep (System Preferences > energy saver).

    Hi wimuggss,
     
    Step 1: Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result
    See How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the cursor?
    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.
     
    Important: Enable UAC after you complete the steps.
     
    Step 2: If the problem persists, try to set the parental control in safe mode and check the result. If you are able to apply settings in safe mode, this means that some program is causing this problem, mainly the security software.

    Hello

    Based on the following link, the printer doesn't have a wireless card so you can't use only a router to make wireless unless your router is also a print server, in this case, it is not.

    Ok.  You can 'share' the Canon printer, which means that you will be able to print to it from your laptop when your laptop is connected wireless to your router.

    This is called 'file and printer sharing' and here are some basic tips on setting up, courtesy of the MVP Malke (you have already completed part A, then start with the part B). Read the part in the first paragraph I put in bold.  If you do not understand the last paragraph on sharing the printer, read one or more of the articles from Google search.

    You can also watch all or part of the first 5 links in this Google search: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xp+sharing+printer

    If you want to share your cannon sweep feature, you will have to read the manual to see if it is possible and (b) how to put in place.  He usually just is to use the Canon CD to install the printer and its software required on your laptop the installer knows that the Canon is a shared network resource.

    The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. In this way you
    get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of some
    more security between you and the Internet. Next, you set up your wireless network
    network in any security, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Below you will find
    information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. Looks like
    long but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and local area network
    sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

    Configuration of the router.

    Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with
    the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista may be the
    CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set
    the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet, cable for the
    connection you just put the router to DHCP (or there may even be a)
    cable choice to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you generally
    Select PPoe and enter the username and password you chose during
    initially setting up the DSL connection. So:

    1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
    2 set a course of ethernet cat5e cable (usually supplied with the router)
    the port of the router to port Internet/WAN modem ethernet cable.
    3. connect the CAT5e cable from your computer's network card ethernet cable
    one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable
    (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.
    4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

    To configure the router:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples
    given are for a Linksys router. Check the manual for your router or router
    site Web de MFTR. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a
    browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (this is by default the router address IP, who)
    varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is left
    Blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Come in
    This information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your
    utility of configuration may be slightly different from mine.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new
    password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Enter it again
    password to confirm and click Save settings at the bottom of
    the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again.
    Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to return in the
    configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the wireless
    Network name (SSID) default to something you will recognize. I have
    suggest that my clients do not use their surname as the SSID. For example,.
    You may want your "CastleAnthrax" wireless network name or the
    as. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes have been
    successfully, click the wireless security link which is just next to the
    Wireless settings link base (where you changed your SSID). If you have a
    Newish computer, you will be able to affect the Security Mode
    WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you
    come on all the computers that are allowed to connect to the radio
    network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you are using
    to configure the router normally goes for a wireless connection, unplug
    the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new
    network. Enter the password you created to join the network and launch
    Surf.

    B. file/printer sharing of

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on file/printer
    Sharing in Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files
    and folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the network on all machines (see Setup Wizard
    caveat in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused
    (1) a misconfigured firewall or neglected (including a stateful firewall
    Firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently running two firewall such as the
    Built-in firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall; and/or (3) not having not
    accounts of the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup; (4) try
    to create actions where the operating system is not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow the local area network (LAN)
    traffic as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file / print
    Sharing on the Exceptions tab normally run the Network Setup Wizard on
    XP will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt" is that this
    lights on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a
    third-party firewall or have an Internet Worm antivirus «»
    Protection' (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, then you are
    fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN
    with a range of IP addresses. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Of course, you
    substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DO
    NOT DISABLE THE FIREWALL; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This
    is from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not have
    must be connected to the same account on all machines and passwords
    assigned to each user account may be different. accounts/passwords just
    need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE
    PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to start directly
    on the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you
    to do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.
    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off
    Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not home users sharing
    directories or files of program, but you can share folders inside those
    directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder.
    See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a)
    files between machines), if you want to share a printer connected
    locally to one of your computers, share it to this machine. Then go
    for the mftr printer Web site. and download the latest drivers for the
    correct system. Install them on the target machines. The
    printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this is not
    install the drivers, then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases,.

    Try to put in place a deskjet 3050 610 a in a wireless network. Printer works fine when connected to USB, but it fails with "Error_000057" when trying to print wireless.

    Router is a BT Home hub 2

  • Set up for commercial printing

    I use Illustrator as my program of layout for the cards, which include texts and photos.

    I need to set up a job with a "clear" for printing sheet. E-mail my contact says:

    "will be printed on matte paper and then add clear aluminum for the area of the photo" "we ask that you provide the clear sheet as a layered file.

    This work has a very tight schedule and no time to discuss with the printer advances.

    Can someone help and explain how it should be implemented?

    Looks like you're talking about the project being marked in sheet with a clear paper. If so, the printer must simply be able to print a strong image in the form of the stamp paper.

    This is usually accomplished by using a spot color to fill the paths that will define the shape of the foil stamp. For example, you can simply set a Spot named "ClearFoil" color swatch, draw the shapes that will foil stamped, apply this Swatch to these objects and define their fillings to overprint.

    Even if it's an organizational convenience , commonly used to put these objects on a separate layer, it is not strictly necessary to do so. (This seems to be a recurring misunderstanding in this forum lately that the layers are somehow related to the separation of the colors). What is important is that objects print separations of individual colors (inks). This has nothing to do with which layers these objects are located on.

    But in the case of things like stamps of aluminum foil, varnish or cut out, it is usually wise and practical to put these objects themselves named layer. (For example, name the layer "Map Stamp".) It's just a clear way to communicate the purpose, and it is also easy for the recipient to just toggle the visibility of the layer when you view the underlying work.

  • Canon MX870 - need to reinstall the printer for wireless printing, whenever I reboot computer

    Hello

    I had my Canon MX 870 for almost 4 years now and have always printed wireless. A few weeks ago my printer started to appear offline when I started my laptop and the only way I could get the printer back online was to remove the printer and reinstall the software again. Since then, every day, I have to remove the printer and reinstall the software and driver in order to use the wireless printer.

    I tried all known bugs and nothing has worked.

    Does anyone have suggestions on what could cause this problem?

    Hello.

    The issue you describe seems to be linked to a timeout between the router and the printer.  In this case, he should be advised that you turn the printer off and on again in order to refresh the connection to the network.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

  • What is the best strategy for wireless printing?

    Hello

    I just got a HP 6500 a wireless all in one printer and have connected a cable ethernet to our wireless router. My desktop under Vista Home Premium is also connected to the router. Printing from the Desktop works fine. We also want to print wireless from a couple of Windows computer laptop, an iPhone and an iPad. I installed the driver of HP Mobile E-print on laptops and it works but I think limiting the size (5 MB) is a problem. I could not print a single page pdf, but a Word doc print very well.

    So, it looks as I could:

    R: Connect the printer to the computer by USB and share the printer on the network. Inconvenience - I think that I have to leave the office all the time and we did not have much success sharing our old HP printer.

    B: install the printer on the network via ethernet and use the built-in web server. So I guess I install the printer on every computer software?

    C: connect the printer wireless. Is this different from option B, other than do not use a cable? The printer is located near the router and the desktop computer for the cable is not a problem.

    I know it may just come down preferably individual, but I would be grateful for any advice as to what direction to go.

    Thank you.

    A is not a good solution.  USB sharing printers printers have so many disadvantages, including some you described.  In addition, only print can be shared, not analysis or by fax.

    I like B the best.  Ethernet is superior wireless if you can connect this way - no password, without interference and is usually a faster interface.  Install the printer software on each computer (from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page, not a CD).

    C is OK, but only if you can not connect by Ethernet.

  • HP Deskjet F4480: Pdf file will not be printed

    Until a short time ago, I always been able to easily print PDFs of Web sites (IE forms).  Lately, the same print screen is displayed when I select print but the print option is missing.  The only available options are save or cancel.  I can always print the doc by saving it to my desktop, but many preferred printing in a single step.  Why have changed my options?  Is there a way to get it back as it was?  Here is a screenshot of what I see now:

    Hello

    Same thing: the printer will print saved/downloaded PDF OR file you need to open the PDF files under a reader such as Adobe reader pdf. The file in your screenshot is NOT a pdf file.

    Update: Let's ' make me a bit cleaer. The screenshot page isn't a PDF only the PON. If you want to print the PON, you need a save, then print or (b) on the PON and pdf reader opens and you can print it from there.
