The HP Utility app did communicate with the printer only to tell me that it was an unknown device. When I tried to print it told me the printer wasn’t connected. When I tried to check ink status it said there was no information available.

I thought it might be some small glitch and went back to the Mac OS X Print Center to check the printer again only to realize that even though it showed up there as connected it really wasn’t. Then I tried out to print to it from the iPad - and the pain and torture began!įirst the iPad just showed that it couldn’t find any available AirPrint devices. Thus far it had been a painless procedure. I tried printing over the network and it worked fine.

I then ran Apple’s own Software Update and it showed me that there was an update for the HP printer drivers available and I installed that as well. I’ve unpacked that hellish piece of hardware almost five hours ago and have struggled with it for the last four or so!Īfter having installed the cartridges I downloaded the latest software from the HP website, installed it and configured the printer for wireless usage. But since we have all kinds of iOS devices here and the HP printers basically still are the only ones supporting AirPrint I caved and bought another one - the HP 3070A this time. And even though I’ve been using (and even recommending) HP printers for a long time now that last one actually made me think I should buy some other brand this time. Last night I bought a Deskjet 3070A to replace the Photosmart printer that kept rejecting the black ink cartridge after a while, again and again. Oh man, where do I begin? Maybe by telling you that the last few hours have been the worst user experience I’ve had in a very very long time! And that comes from someone who has been dealing with computers for the last 25+ years, going back to DOS and Win 2.1, early Macs, Amigas and what not.
