Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008HP LaserJet 3015
I just bought a MacBook Air and tried to connect my HP LaserJet 3015 via the wireless network. The printer is working correctly on the LAN using a couple of Windows pcs. The printer is connected to a print server and then connected to the wireless network. As I am new in Mac OS, can someone give me guidance how to configure the Mac pc to print to the printer. Your assistance is appreciated. Thanks, Scott > I just bought a MacBook Air and tried to connect my HP LaserJet 3015 via the > wireless network.

I had the option of printing using the Bonjour protocol that the printer broadcasts natively or assigning a static IP and printing via CUPS. I chose the latter (old sysadmin habits die hard). Once you define the printer, you should be able to print to it from the printer setup menu. If you can't "see" it, perhaps your system is have a problem with the WiFi network. According HP's site, this printer should just show up as it speaks Bonjour. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/en/WF06b/18972-238444-410636-12004-f 51-378048-378050-378051.html According to the HP site, you're in luck. They have MacOS X drivers for it.

That is very news but HP just told the user that they are lucky but did not tell them how to configure it. The list is placed under How to install and setup the printer on Macintosh but the instruction is for previous OS using Terminal. Where is the Printer setup utility which sounds a user friendly utility rather than Terminal that uses prompt command? As I am a new user of Mac OS, I do not understand Bonjour protocol (Is it similar to tcpip protocol?) and CUPS. I have configured the printer as IP 192.168.0.5 and all other Windows pcs are printing to it successfully for long. I might miss something very obvious and need your further guidance.

I know it works for wired connections because both my printers just show up in the Printer dialog on 10.4.11. I've seen others post on this forum that the WiFi router didn't work for Bonjour printers, making a hardwire connection required to see a Bonjour printer. If you have a Linksys "worthog" WRT54GL: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124190 it should just work. Belkin and DLINK not so much so. I don't know what 10.5 uses to configure printers, so you're going to have to take that up with either Apple (take the printer and your Airbook into your closest Apple store after you setup a Genius Bar appointment and they'll help you) or you might get additional help on this forum. Apple doesn't really do house calls (unless you're Steve Jobs), so you may end up paying someone to come to your business to sort this out if you can't bring the printer into an Apple Store to have them set it up for you.

If ou have the original CDs accompagned with the printer - try the following... - Connect the printer to the prefered method - here network switch. - Turn ON the printer - Insert the CD and run the installer for OS X - Download the latest drivers and software for LJ3015 here and install it http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us &prodNameId=378050&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=378048&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEn vOID=219 - Restart - still with the printer turned on. - Open a document to print - select 'Print' and see, if the printer now is available - If the printer isn't shown as standard, go to the prefspane 'Print&Fax' in the Preference Settings. If the printer is shown under the pane 'Print', select it as standard printer. - If the printer isn't present, click on the 'Add Printer' button and select the printer in the upcoming list. Mark it and click 'Add'. - For the IP settings, just select DHCP, and the TCP/IP settings should find it and add/set prefs automatically. - If the printer still doesn't show up, you could also try to download the latest version of Gutenprint. GP is specific made for use with HP printers (+ some other brands).

I believe I should change to Unicode (UTF-8) rather than a country specific code since this is an international news group and Unicode should be the one going forward. I think we must give up individual liking and adopt uniform standard, otherwise, the payoff is huge and off focus the subject in this group.

Maybe, - but then there are other problems with both 'the soup' and MT-NW - such as recognizing non-ASCII characters like scandinavian and German special characters.

I've seen no one here in the comp.sys.mac.* groups saying this. Or by "here" do you mean in Denmark, and there's a group of people saying it without ever posting to a relevant newsgroup about it? Anyway, here you go changing details again. First you said it wasn't possible to change fonts, and when I pointed out it _is_ possible, you said you meant it's possible but doesn't include all the fonts in your system. When I checked and found that all the fonts in _my_ system are available in MacSOUP, then you said you're talking about using font management programs, whose purpose is to let you use fonts that are _NOT_ in your system. Okay, so now I've just used FontExplorer X 1.2.3 and activated five fonts. All were then available in MacSOUP 2.8.2. I expect that now you're going to say that you were talking about only specific fonts but had not mentioned that before. > Others are also > claiming that 'the soup' looses the ability of using especially the > Scandinavian characters I've previously said I have no experience with Scandanavian characters (speaking only typographically, of course), but you also said it has problems with German characters, which is surprising for a German-made program. > and/or suddenly change from the user defined font to - mostly - > LucidaGrande... I've used MacSOUP from the very beginning and never had it change from my font settings (that's plural, by the way, since there are separate settings for newsgroup lists, subject lists, message text, etc.). Now, of course I will never claim that the way something works for me is the way it works for the rest of the world, but I have never seen anyone post about such problems to the c.s.m. groups, either.

Try this (works for me on several wireless Macs and an HP LaserJet P2015 connected as yours is.): Ensure that the HP is turned on and ready and that you are connected to the wireless network. Open System Preferences and select the "Print & Fax" Preference Pane. I assume that in the window that opens you will see no printers in the left column--where a list of installed printers appears. Click the plus sign + at the bottom of the left column to add a printer. In the dialog box that opens the "Default" tab should be selected. Click it if it is not. Wait a few moments (in my case, perhaps 10 seconds). The name of the HP printer should appear under Printer Name. Click on the name once to select it. Under the Printer Name window are three lines: Name, Location, and Print Using. Information should appear in the first and third lines. You may rename the printer in the first line. You may type a description of its location in the second line. (Both of the above are optional.) The third line, "Print Using:" should show "HP LaserJet 3015 Series" or similar -- the Mac OS has automatically selected the proper driver for the printer. At the bottom right, click "Add." Done. Your printer is ready to use. The above procedure works for me every time on every Mac (we have 10 or so Macs in our house, five of them in daily use.) If the procedure doesn't work for you, please post that information and we'll delve more deeply. Michael Vilain suggested "Printer Setup Utility" in the Utilities folder. M. Vilain must be using an earlier version of the OS, as that utility has been replaced by the "Print & Fax" Preference Pane. Good luck, Davoud Signatureusenet *at* davidillig dawt com Davoud, Thanks for your information. I tried your suggested way with the following result. In System Preferences, I found Print & Fax (quite similar to Windows OS) and clicked into it. There were two printers over there: My printer and Adobe PDF 8.0 and were in idle status. At the beginning, I believe it should be working now. I tried to print a page from Word. The print job showed that the Printer Paused and job status was stopped. I tried to click the button of Resume Printer and the printer became Printer Ready but the print job status remained Stopped. I clicked Resume button (Resume printing of selected jobs) and the printer changed to Printer Paused. My HP LaserJet 3015 is a USB printer and it is connected to a Level One FPS-3003 print server and then the print server is connected to the LAN switch. It works correctly on all Windows pc for long. I now suspect if the print server is working for Mac or not. From the installation menu, it states HP-UX, Unix and RFC-1179 LDP System in addition to Windows under OS requirements. How do I know if it works with Mac or not? Your further advice is appreciated. Thanks and regards, Scott > Scott: > [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > > Davoud |
