Airport Express - HP PSC 2210 All-in-one

Question

Airport Express - HP PSC 2210 All-in-one

Hi there,

I have been trying to figure this problem off and on for about 6 months, but have had no luck. Perhaps somebody here can help out!

I am trying to print from my iBook with Airport Extreme to my HP PSC 2210 printer running through the Airport Express.

I just updated my HP 2210 printer driver to version 7.3.1. My iBook is running OSX 10.4.6.

The printer is recognized as a Bonjour Printer. However, when I try to print wirelessly all that happens is the printer spits out blank pages. Printing connected via USB prints correctly.

Also, the Airport Express seems to recognize the printer just fine. The printer shows up as a "Hewlett Packard PSC 2200 Series."

Does anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Robert,

All-in-one devices are usually a non-starter for printing when attached to the AirPort Express.

Canon has a full compatibility list on their website. HP might have one on theirs. Search their support area.

Thanks for the advice. I checked the compatibility sites, and they all indicate the printer is compatible. Plus, the Airport Express recognizes it. So I gotta think there's something else that I'm not doing.

Is there a checkbox possibly somewhere that says "Work Correctly?" 🙂

Thanks!

Use the process outlined here:

HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing

Using the HPIJS drivers.

Does anyone know how to get around HP's non-support of the Bonjour printing through an Airport extreme when the printer is connected to the base station via usb?
