Subject: [tclug-list] OT?  Android printer problem w/ HP 4050
In-Reply-To: <CAMWpi9Awj-XOS2QuPaJG2m1voBNO0Fw0jGKp8FGVE=DAa2uJ3A@mail.gmail.com>

I can't get my Samsung Android Galaxy phone (S5) or my Galaxy Tab S2 tablet
to find or connect to my B&W HP Laserjet 4050 which is on my net (wired and
wireless).  I can ping it, but no more.  The 4050 is my preferred printer
for routine stuff.  It's fast and economical to operate.
 
Both Androids find and connect to my HP Color Laserjet 4650 easily using
either wired or wireless connections via my network.  Both printers work
fine on all of my my PCs under Ubuntu or Windows (XP and Win 10).  The
problem is just Android, and just the 4050.  Neither the Samsung nor the HP
printer apps will find the 4050.  Haven't tried Google's cloud print yet,
but the 4050 previously worked on that from PCs.
 
Anybody know a trick to solve this Android connection issue?

I think you're giving the 4050 too much credit.  That is an OLD
printer.  I'm not sure it's discoverable in the way that the 4650 is.
I'm assuming that since it's networked, it uses a Jetdirect card?  You
might be able to fiddle with the SNMP settings to get the devices to
talk to it.

You'll have to forgive my ignorance in Android printing, as I've never
done it.  If you have the ability, try adding it manually.  You can
get away with a 4000 driver or even an Laserjet 5 driver, if Android
even has such a driver.

Thanks for the comments.  The 4050 is a professional grade laserjet that is
easy to install and use anywhere but my Androids.  I have gotten rid of
newer HP inkjets because the drivers harass and beg over buying supplies and
giving print format help every time they were used.
Perhaps a newer model Laserjet will install and work.  A model 4100 is a
close match and may fool the installer.

The 4000 series LJs came out in the late 1990s. The odds of it being compatible on its own is EXTREMELY slim. Like you?d have better chances running to be POTUS with no financing and winning than you do with a 20-year old network printer.

FYI   The HP LaserJet 4050 series printers were made May-99 Nov-01.
It's reliable, fast enough, enough memory, great B&W images, and it's
economical to feed and house.  Was cheap to buy coming off lease years ago.
Seems to install on my cell phone as a newer family model that was made from
Dec 2002 until discontinued in June 2005 but I haven't tested that yet...
Will later today.

They are great 600dpi printers. I love them. They?re energy hogs but not nearly as much as the LJIII I support at work. We have three of those.

My point is only that it ain't broke, and I have no need to replace it.
Have a setup success that indicates it will work if called another model.
Mine, on standby, only draws a few watts, like a night light, wakes quickly
on a print request, prints, and goes back to sleep in standby mode.
Not an energy hog for me, since I don't print often.

Just put a raspberry pi running CUPS in front of it.  That gives you a
fairly easy way to support Google cloud printing, iOS printing, etc on your
old bulletproof tank.  That's how my LaserJet 4+ is set up.  :)

Precisely the best solution. $40 gets you a Pi3 with a case and an SD card.

Precisely the best solution. $40 gets you a Pi3 with a case and an SD card.

Have a setup success that indicates it will work if called another model.
Mine, on standby, only draws a few watts, like a night light, wakes quickly
on a print request, prints, and goes back to sleep in standby mode.
Not an energy hog for me, since I don't print often.

And. you're point is? It's tech that existed 5 years before smartphones were
even an idea. 

They are great 600dpi printers. I love them. They're energy hogs but not
nearly as much as the LJIII I support at work. We have three of those.

FYI   The HP LaserJet 4050 series printers were made May-99 Nov-01.
It's reliable, fast enough, enough memory, great B&W images, and it's
economical to feed and house.  Was cheap to buy coming off lease years ago.
Seems to install on my cell phone as a newer family model that was made from
Dec 2002 until discontinued in June 2005 but I haven't tested that yet...
Will later today.

FYI..    The best solution seems to be the PrinterShare app.  This Android
app has drivers for several thousand printers and includes most brands.
This and includes the HP 4050 B&W and 4650 color laserjets I have.  So far,
this finds my networked printers with no fuss, and lets me select either and
its advanced options.  Not sure I'll need the extra features of their $4.95
"premium version".
