Can't print from iBook G4 via Windows XP to an HP PSC 1410

Hello,
I realize this question is very similar to others on this discussion but I haven't been able to find an answer to my problem.
I cannot print from my iBook via XP to an HP PSC 1410.
I can print from my iBook via XP to an HP LaserJet 4L.
I was able to print from my iBook via XP to an HP882C that was connected
to the same USB port that the HP PSC 1410 is connected to now.
I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.3
I have a PC running XP with an HP LaserJet 4L on a parallel port and an HP PSC 1410 on a USB port.
I installed the following from http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
hpijs-foomatic-2.02.ppc.dmg
espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg
HP-PSC_1400-hpijs.ppd
I think I correctly followed the instructions at:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html
They worked for the LaserJet printer.
When I attempt to print from the iBook to the 1410 the HP doesn't print at all.
I don't see any error messages on the iBook. The document gets spooled onto the Windows print spooler, the printer even starts making noises, the print heads move about a bit and then stop. The print job just sits there in the queue with a status of "Printing". The print job is then stuck and hard to delete.
I don't need to be able to scan or check ink levels from the iBook.
I would just like to be able to do color printing.
What else should I try? Given the symptoms where might I be going wrong?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I finally figured out what the issue was, Why it fixes it I can not say,
but it does.
On the Shared printer on the Windows side, go to the properties of the Printer.
Go to the Ports tab, and deselect the "Enable bidirectional Support" (do not
have it checked). Once this is done and you also do not have any firewalls
setup on the Windows machine (Windows, MCAfee, Norton, ....). You should be
able to print.
Finally!!!!! I hope this helps many many people. As I have had many
people asking for the solution if I found it.
Thanks,
Steven Stuart

  • Can"t print from iBook G4 to windows HP890c Printer

    I have been trying to print from an apple iBook G4 to a HP 890c Windows printer. I can see the 3 pc's in the workgroup from the apple and can file share with them but cannot print. I can install the HP 890C in windows printing using the dialog boxes but I get the NTStatus_BadName error when attempting to print.
    Which computer do you download and install the hpijs and the ESP ghostscript? I imagine its to the PC which the printers are attached but want to verify.
    Also, even though I added the iBook G4 to the workgroup, it does not show up. It does show up with servers. I cannot see the ibook from any of thje PC workgroup computers. Could this be part of my path problem.

    hpijs and ESP ghostscript are for OS X. But, you have a network-capable driver (Deskjet 890C, Gimp-Print) already included in OS X. Your problem appears to be in the Windows sharing (Samba=smb) system.
    Try adding the printer using the advanced windows printing method: After clicking add, Hold down option key and click More Printers. Select Advanced at the bottom of the first menu. Select Windows Printing via Samba (I think that's what it says). Enter the URI like this:
    smb://[IP address of server]/[printer share name from Windows]

  • Cannot print from ibook on a windows network

    I have a new iBook that is linked to my Linksys Wireless Cable Gateway. On the same network, my Windows XP desktop with attached Epson Stylus Photo R220 is attached.
    I have enabled sharing for that printer via the desktop PC.
    I located the printer, "EpsonSty", on my iBook but when I attempt to print to it, it gives me two errors.... the first is a denied NT access message and later, something about not being able to print to Samba.
    Is there an easy fix so I can print to my Epson from my iBook via the network?

  • How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?

    How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?
    Most new wireless printers won’t have a problem printing from the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT.  All you should have to do for these printers is tell them to print and they will.  Older wireless, Ethernet, and USB printers might not have an officially supported driver in Windows 8 RT, but there is a way to get the printers working.  There are different requirements depending on how the printer is being connected to the Surface. 
    Note:  All steps below are only for PhotoSmart, OfficeJet, DeskJet, and other HP Inkjet printers.  These steps are not for Laserjet printers or printers from other manufacturers.  These steps may not work for all Inkjet printers.  If these steps don’t work, try different drivers from the list until you find one that will work (you’ll understand what I mean once you follow the steps below).  If none of the drivers work, your printer will not work with the Surface.
    For networked printers (wireless or Ethernet), all you need is either the Surface keyboard, or an external USB keyboard to connect to the Surface.  This just makes anything you have to type easier to type.  You will also need to have the Surface and the printer connected to the same network. 
    Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
    Touch Search.
    Below the Search Box, touch Settings.
    In the search Box, type Devices and Printers.
    Touch Devices and Printers.
    Touch Add a Printer.
    Touch “My printer is not listed”.
    Select the TCP/IP option and touch Next.
    Enter the printer’s IP address and touch Next.  Note:  You can get this from the printer’s Network Configuration Page, or from your router’s DHCP list.
    The Surface will locate the printer and try to install it.  The install will fail and the Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver.  Choose to install the driver yourself.
    Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
    If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
    Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
    Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list.  If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver.  (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
    Touch Next.
    Touch Finish.
    Test printing.
    For USB connected printers, you will need a USB cord to attach the printer to the computer.
    Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
    Windows will try to find the drivers but will not be able to.
    Here Windows may ask you if you want to choose the driver to install.  If it does skip to step 14 below.
    Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
    Touch Search.
    Under the Search box, touch Settings.
    In the Search box, type Device Manager.
    Touch Device Manager.
    Touch View and select Show Hidden.
    Search for the printer in the Device Manager.  It should be under Other Devices with a yellow caution sign beside it.
    Select the printer from the list.
    Touch Action.
    Touch Update Driver, or Install whichever one it displays.
    The Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver.  Choose to install the driver yourself.
    Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
    If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
    Choose HP from the Manufacture list.

  • Can't print from windows to shared Canon MX340

    I have a new Canon MX340 on my iMac with Snow Leopard. I'm able to print from this iMac and via sharing, all of the other Macs at home. What I can't do is print from my son's Windows XP netbook. Previously, I was sharing an old HP office jet with no problem, with the new Canon one of two things happens. I used Bonjour to install the printer on the XP side.
    - with Generic Postscript selected as the driver I get the following erros in the cups error_log file
    E [29/Aug/2010:17:08:37 -0600] [Job 920] No %%Pages: comment in header!
    E [29/Aug/2010:17:08:37 -0600] [Job 920] Unable to open raster stream - : No such file or directory

    E [29/Aug/2010:17:08:37 -0600] [Job 920] Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details.
    - using the MX340 driver, I simply get a single blank page
    I am able to print via a network connection (the MX340 has built in WiFi), but I'd like to know how to do with via the old method.
    Any ideas?
    THANKS!

    The XP Netbook should use the Generic PS driver. I've never found the Canon driver on Windows to work correctly when printing to the Mac shared printer via Bonjour for Windows.
    It is unusual you are getting this error. The Mac should be converting the incoming spool file to suit the MX340. Since the Generic PS is not working then you could try the Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 when using the Bonjour Wizard. I've used this on XP to print to my MP980 shared off 10.6.4 and it worked fine for me.
    Personally I would suggest you are better off with using the MX340 wireless. This will remove the reliance on the iMac being available just so that others can print.

  • Can't print from pc to mx922 via usb cable.

    I have a mx922 and I'm running windows 8.1
    Can't print from the pc using a usb cable but the 922 will print wireless.
    Is there a setting I'm missing?
    Thank You.

    Hi mrmustard,
    There is not a specific setting to make it so that you can print via USB; what error or message do you receive when trying to print? Also, do you have another USB cable that you can use to connect the printer to your computer?

  • How can I print from my windows 8 pc to my printer using my 2nd g express?

    I have an hp deskjet 1055. It's just a USB printer how can I print from windows to my printer connected to my 2gen airport express? If it only works with airprint printers than why is there belkin routers that can work with any printer?

    Figured it out. To print wirelessly via airport express 2nd generation you have to do some things. Download the bonjour printer thing mentioned above and have the printer plugged in to the airport express. Then run the bonjour printer thing and select your connected printer and install. Where I went wrong was I tried to print from my hp printer (1). When you install a printer with bonjour to print wirelessly it installs the same printer (2) so it's like there's 2 different printers in word or whatever you use to print.  You have to select the one that says ready. Thanks for everyone's help

  • Can't print from Mac to Windows printer

    I have a wireless network of 3 computers and a printer. One is a desktop running XP with the printer attached. The other is a laptop with XP. And the last is a MacBook with 10.4.11.
    I can print from both computers running XP but I can't print from the Mac. The Mac sees the printer and I can add it and try to print from it. When I try to print I get the error message:
    NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY
    I later get the "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds" message too.

    Be sure the printer name assigned in Windows is not more than 11 alphanumeric characters. Long names with punctuation and the like are known to cause problems.
    Look at:
    Mac OS X 10.4- Can't print to a printer shared by Microsoft Windows;
    Mac OS X- Cannot locate a shared Windows printer;
    Mac OS X- How to manually add a Windows shared printer;

    Tutorial: Resolving common printer problems
    Mac OS X offers a robust printing system with built-in support for hundreds of devices from a wide body of manufacturers. It's not without flaws, however, and printers often become unrecognized or non-functional after a significant Mac OS X update. Printers connected through hubs or AirPort base stations can also exhibit some frustrating issues.
    Below is a run-down of the most generally successful printer workarounds. Keep trying until one of them sticks.
    Use Printer Setup Repair This tool lets you verify properties of the root user, the Printing Services (lp) user, and Print Operators (lp) groups, reset the printing system, perform CUPS maintenance and more. Run through its set of maintenance tasks before delving into further printer troubleshooting. See how to use it in this article.
    Re-install CUPS If you are experiencing printer issues after applying an incremental Mac OS X update, problems may have occurred with your CUPS installation during the update process.
    The file is available from this Web site: http://www.cups.org/software.php, and is labeled cups-1.2.1.dmg
    Delete then re-add printers/Reset printing system Open Printer Setup Utility, located in Applications/Utilities and look at the "Printer List" Highlight and delete all entries.
    Alternatively, go to the "Printer Setup Utility" menu at the top of the screen and select "Reset Printing System".
    Click the "Add" button and re-add your printer(s).
    Gutenprint and usbtb Some users have been able to resolve printer communication issues by installing the excellent open-source Epson printer drivers available as part of the Gutenprint package (formerly known as Gimp-print) and usbtb, a CUPS back-end for USB printing.
    Remove non-required drivers Removing extraneous drivers from /Library/Printers(name of manufacturer) can sometimes resolve printer issues. Remove files that are for other models than your own.
    Re-install drivers Re-installation of printer drivers from original media or from a Web download (either directly through the manufacturers site or via a search by model/manufacturer on VersionTracker) can resolve some printer issues.
    Try disconnecting from network In some cases, LAN-connected printer, seemingly broken by the Mac OS X update can restored to normal operation by simply disconnecting the device from the network then re-connecting it.
    "Communicator Error" -- try power cycling If you receive a "Communication Error" message when attempting to print after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.5, the first workaround you should try is power cycling the printer, as well as disconnecting then re-connecting it to the Mac.
    Connecting directly to the Mac If you are having printer problems and are using an external USB hub, try connecting the printer directly to your Mac.
    One reader who had success with this method writes:
    "Unfortunately the update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 has eliminated the ability to use my Lexmark Z600 series USB printer on my iMac G5 20" iSight (rev C).
    "I resolved the problem via the following: I unplugged my external USB hub and plugged the printer directly to my computer."
    Disconnect from AirPort and reset For those who are using printers connected to an AirPort Express, Extreme or another wireless device with USB connections, you might want to try the following:
    Disconnect the printer from the AirPort unit (or other router)
    Wait a few minutes
    Plug it back in
    Restart the base station unit
    Check for your printer to appear in AirPort Admin Utility (located in Applications/Utilities)
    Print one copy In some cases, using print one copy instead of the standard print command can result in elimination of crashes that occur during printing.
    Try IP printing instead of AppleTalk Some Macs are unable to see AppleTalk printers that are located on the local AirPort (or other wireless) network. Several users have been able to workaround this issue by using IP printing instead of AppleTalk.
    Last resort -- Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing the somewhat tedious Archive and Install process, then re-upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.7. This has solved some otherwise inexplicable printer issues for MacFixIt readers.

  • Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printers

    That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
    If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.

  • Can't print from a windows pc to network printer

    I am having a network printer problem.
    I have a Canon printer plugged into the usb port of my Mac-Mini.  I can print fine from the Mac to the printer.  I have network sharing enabled for the printer.
    I have a Dell PC connected to an Airport Express via internet cable as part of my network.
    I have bonjour installed on the Dell
    Bonjour can see the networked canon printer and will install it as the default printer for the Dell PC.
    However, I can not print from the Dell unless I have the wrong printer driver (an HP driver) installed.  As long as the wrong driver is installed I can print the first page of a document only.
    If I install the correct Canon driver, the printer ceases to function.
    I tried connecting the printer to the airport express via usb.  Once I did this, I was able to print from the Dell pc with no problem using the correct driver.  But then, I could no longer print from the Mac-mini via the Airport Express connected printer.  The Mac could see the printer and identify that it was connected via Airport.  And the Mac will allow me to connect to the Airport connected printer .  But as soon as I trie to print something from the Mac, it fails and gives an error message or pauses and says the drivers may not be correct.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Detective445 wrote:
    I believe that there may not be a solution to this because the printer will only recognize one set of drivers.  Since one set of drivers is for the Mac and one set is for a PC It will only work with one machine or the other.
    Then you should be able to print from the Mini after resetting the printer, e.g. by turning it off and back on after a short while. But it sounds as if this won't help either, and to be frank, it's not an "acceptable" explanation, either...
    So, what's the error message? Unless known, we can only keep guessing:
    You've reset the printer system in the Mini? Eventually consider deleting the Canon drivers manually afterwards, and only then add the printer again and re-install its software.
    If that doesn't help either, the issue must be a communication problem, meaning I'd recommend to double-/triple-check all comm-related things as well.
