Can't print to shared printer any more with Tiger

Hello,
I upgraded to Tiger from Panther on a powerbook 12". My printers (hp 1700cp and hp 920c) are linked to my G5 dual 2ghz by USB, and shared in the sharing panel. I network the two together by ethernet (via a Farallon Netline broadband gateway router/hub).
Since moving to Tiger on the powerbook, when I press the "print" button in the print dialog for any program, notheing happens. Same when I press the "pdf" button in the same dialog.
If I link the printers directly to the powerbook using a USB cable, it prints fine.
I upgraded to Tiger using the archive and upgrade option. I'd like to do a straight re-load of Tiger from the disks, but as I have since upgraded to 10,4,3 via software update I don't have that option any more.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem.
I print to an ancient networked LaserJet at work using LAN. I am not able to do it wirelessly. This arrangement has been working flawlessly. Over the weekend, I did an Archive and (re)Install of Tiger in an attempt to resolve a trackpad issue. Since then, my PowerBook has forgotten all of my printers, which is not a big deal, but the PB only sees the LJ intermittently. For example, Tuesday and Wednesday it worked fine, except each day I had to re-add the printer when I started up in the morning. Thursday, I was unable to see the printer at all, even after fiddling with IP addresses and all that. Today, the printer showed up and I printed a test mail message, but when I went to print an attachment, the LJ was gone.
I have installed all the software updates available through 1/5/06. Why does it come and go? How can I get it to automatically be there? Oy!
Thanks,
Brooke

Pages 2.0.2 won't print to shared printer

help! i'm at the end of my rope here.
pages used to print to my shared printer no problem. but since a hard drive failure in my powerbook g4 1.33 it's been no dice.
since getting the hd, everything has been reinstalled: 10.4.8, epson printer drivers, iworks; EVERYTHING. other apps print to the shared printer fine. (the shared printer is on a home network, connected to a mac pro. access via a wireless router (dlink))
i tried resetting the powerbook's PMU/PRAM. still, a popup window says: "error while printing."
when the PB is directly connected to the printer 'pages' prints fine, only to the shared printer. nothing on the network has changed at all. (except one of my attempts to fix this was to reset the printer system on the mac pro)
i've tried all the suggestions in the forum (searching for 'pages print error'), this includes turning off duplicate fonts with fontbook, resetting the printer system on the PB in various ways as suggested, deleting pref files and the like.
steps to print involve these:
1. open pages.
2. open file
3. select print, select shared printer.
4. click print.
5. a slight pause for about 1sec then the error message comes up: Error when printing.
any subsequent try at printing the same file or another file the message pops up immediately with no delay.
what am i missing? is there something on the network side?
i can't think of anything else to check. i've looked at apple support articles till the wee hours of the morning.
can someone offer any suggestions? you would have my undying gratitude!!
cheers and happy holidays,

hey folks,
i've used app zapper to delete pages and then re-installed it. same thing happens. no luck.
are there any other setting that pages might access? does PMSessionValidatePrintSettings refer to Print Manager?
could it be permissions on the print manager's plist file? i'm just guessing as there was a slight name change on her user name when her settings, etc. were imported thru the migration assistant after the hd failure. it's a guess as i've run into this problem when switching from my PPC to the Intel. my user name went from seanw to sean and some of my apps were still labeled with the old "seanw" as the owner. (this was because i dragged and dropped some stuff instead of using the MA as i didn't know it existed.)
if no solution presents itself how would i go about transferring my wife's user profile to another, new profile with out too much headache?
would i create the new user and use MA to transfer her stuff from her backup?
thanks for the suggestions, you have no idea how much this is appreciated.
cheers,
sean

After Replace queue.llb and notifier.llb for LabVIEW 6.1, I can't use find examples.vi any more.

I believe that by your action, you removed the compatability VIs and it would appear that the Find Examples used the older queue functions that require the compatability VIs. I would suggest you revert back to the LLBs that were distributed with 6.1. The new queue functions are there for you to use in new development and older VIs won't be broken. You could also make a request to NI support to see about an updated Find Example that uses just the new VIs.

I use my phone for work and want to send to multiple staff groups or project leaders the same information at the same time and not all of them have email capable phones so text has always been the best solution.
Please help ?

22ms is a long time for your computer, but I am wondering about your network. Are you 10 base or 100 base? Switch or hub? Have you tried a direct connection with a crossover cable? Just trying to spark ideas here. I use TCP all the time but only at 500 ms intervals.

Are making, editing, and sharing slideshows any easier with 11?

Are making, editing, and sharing slideshows any easier with 11?
I have 09 and a lot of people seem to prefer it to 11.
In 09 I gave up on trying to figure out making slideshows that fit the timing of a song and could then be sent to youtube.
I know it could be done but it wasn't easy like sending movies to youtube from imovie 09.

It's little changed. If you're timing cutting slideshows against a track in a precise way it will always require a timeline, so you will always be better off with a video editor.

Can't connect to shared printer

I have a Brother DCP 7020 laser printer. I've recently changed my ISP, which changed the IP address my TimeCapsule router is using. It use to be 192.168.1.1. Now it is 10.0.1.2. Since the IP change, my Macbook Pro can no longer print to the printer. Here is my setup:
Printer connected to Vista machine via USB and shared. MBP connects to printer wirelessly. I've setup the printer once again on my MBP, which I had to do since the IP has changed. However, when I try to print, I get this error:
Connecting to printer...
Unable to connect to printer...
The printer IP is 10.0.1.15. The Vista machine is 10.0.1.5. Here are my ping results from the MBP:

Can no longer see shared printer

Our home office setup consists of my MPB (now running 10.5.8), a G5 iMac running 10.3, and a G4 iMac running 10.2. The printer (HP DeskJet 970Cse) is direct-connected to the G4 via USB, and is shared.
After upgrading the MBP to 10.5, it can no longer locate that shared printer. Any suggestions?

problem solved. Answer was here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275.

Can't print on shared printer, Alert says "On Hold (authentication required)"

Mac Mini running 10.6.8 can't print using Mac Air running 10.8.5 with HP Laserjet 1022 USB connected. Both computers on same airport network. Both with latest updates and shared printer enabled. Same problem in other direction (Air to mini if printer connected to mini).
This worked fine a few days ago. Whats changed? Anybody?

This might help... I recently upgraded to OS X 10.9.1 and had the same frustrations with "paused for authentication problems. Luckly I just discovered that with the print sharing on in the computer that that has the direct connection with the printer being shared on the network and in this below screenshot, with certain persons selected, even an administrator, it puts a "no access" on the everyone option. In this status I get the "paused for authentication" on the print jobs being submitted from any networked computer. see below
I am taking it that the authentication the neworked computers are looking for is from the computer that is diretly connected to the printer and is sharing that printer to other users.
I've learned when you click the up and down arrow to the right of everyone you get either "no access" or "can print" option.
When the "can print" option is selected all the individual persons added gets droped, but at least now I can do a network print jobs from the other network connected computers and not get the "paused for authenication" problem. Hope this helps anyone with "paused for authent" problems ET

Can't see windows shared printer

Hi,
Just joined a small company that is all windows based. So if I want to keep using my Mac, I need to resolve a couple important issues. One of them is printing to the office printers. The office is set up to use a PC running windows 2000 connected to the printers in question. The printers are all shared by this PC and everyone accesses them through.
The problem I am having is that when I go through the printer utility and select more printers, I can find and connect to the designated PC for printing. However, after connecting to it, there are no printers visible to select for setting up.
The printers that are highest on my list are an HP1300 and HP5000. I believe the HP1300 is connected via USB.
I saw the post mentioning potential problems with the drivers and to get hpijs.
But is that the reason I can't even see the shared printers?

No. While you will need the hpijs, Foomatic RIP and Ghostscript software to print to the USB shared printer, they are not needed to see the shared printer.
When you opened (double-clicked) the Windows 2000 print server, were you prompted to authenticate? If you didn't authenticate, then this could explain why the shared printers are not being displayed, as you are probably connecting as a guest and this account has no access to the printers. You will need to ask for an account to use, or have one created for you so that you can see the printers.
The other thing you may need to check is if the 2000 PC is part of a domain rather than a workgroup. If it is a domain, then the account name that you use to authenticate to it has to include the domain name, such as domain\accountname.

Cannot print on glossy paper any more

I used to be able to print on glossy paper and no longer can do so. Anybody know why. I also cannot scan any more.
I think I am missing some software but I have no idea how it got lost or how to get it back. This has been going on for more than a year and I have been working around it but I need to use it now.
Any help out there. Thanks

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
up’ and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings
are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!
Although I am working on behalf of HP, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

MacBook can't always see shared printer

It's making me nuts. My Epson Stylus C84 is connected to and shared by my G5. When I want to print wirelessly from my MacBook to that printer, it's rare that the printer will show up on the list.
Then, all of the sudden, the "Shared Printers" item will appear and the Stylus C84 is now listed. When it's not listed, there's seems to be almost nothing I can do to "find" it.
My daughter's old beige G3 running Panther sees the shared printer all the time, every time, also wirelessly.
Any cures?

yeah your AIM would be affected if it was airport is what im thinking is maybe the printers wireless card might not be able to handle 3 computers try this....
If theres a reset button
1.If theres is a reset button on the printer press it
2.unplug all cables and plug them in while holding the rest button
If theres no reset button
1.Unplug all cables then go to your wireless router and take the wires out of it and press the reset button on the back
2.try reinstalling the printers software on your computer

Can't connect to shared printer on Windows 7 Pro x64

I have a print server on Windows 2008 Standard and I have drivers installed for both x86 and x64 archs. The ricoh printer seems to work fine on windows 7 pro x64 but the hp printer will not work correctly. It seems to download/install the drivers but when actually connecting to the printer it errors out.
It says cannot connect to printer.
I can add the printer manually if I use tcp/ip printing instead of connecting to the shared printer. I can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone else seen an error like this? I'm not really sure what is causing this issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please also let us know the exact model of this HP printer.
If possible, please reproduce this issue on the Windows7 client and collect the relevant information for further research.
Step 1: Download Process Monitor
======================
1. Please download the Process Monitor at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
2. Extract the zip file to Desktop.
Step 2: Clean Boot
=============
Let's disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start", go to "Run", and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the System Configuration Utility.
2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
4. Click "OK" to restart your computer to Selective Startup environment.
5. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
6. Check whether or not the issue still appears in this environment.
Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.
Step 3: Collect the Information
=====================
1. Open Procmon.exe (Process Monitor).
2. Reproduce this issue.
3. After that, please click Capture in the tool bar (or directly press Ctrl+E) in Process Monitor.
4. Click Save, in the prompt window, selects “All Events”.
5. Click Browser Button (The button is right to “Path”), in the prompt window, click Desktop, type “test” (without the quotation marks) in the File Name box and press Enter.
6. Find the file, right-click on this file, click "Send To", and click "Compressed (zipped) Folder".

How can I add a shared printer USB plugged to the Time Capsule (on a windows vista PC)

Setting up an airport network was very easy, and is very intuitive and friendly working on a mac. However, I tried to install the shared printer remotely on a windows vista PC and... well, that's a diffrent story. Can anybody help? Thanks!

If you have not already done so, you will need to download, install and run Bonjour for Windows on the PC.
If you have already done this, what error messages are you receiving?
