Help with PC and Powerbook G4 wireless printer sharing

Help! I have two PC desktops, one PC laptop and one Powerbook G4. I have a Linksys wireless router, a cable modem, and a D-Link print server. All of the computers, including the mac are on a working home network. The Three PCs work great with print server, but I can not get the mac set up with the print server. I have talked to Apple, network magic (which I use both for the PC and mac) and D-Link. Can you tell me how I can set this up.

I have a very similar problem. I have 4 pcs and a G5 hooked into my wireless router and cable modem. All of the computers are working however, I cannot see my G5 on the network. I do have a printer hooked directly to the G5, but want it to work on the PCs as well. I am assuming that I need to share the Mac with the rest of the network, however, I went to system preferences and I noticed that I do not have a sharing button at all on the list, I know that it is supposed to be under Internet & Network. I am brand new to the Mac world and have no idea of why it is not there. Is this something that I have to load from the software? Thanks for any help you may be able to share.

Need help with IOS commands to see wireless printer

Seems that I'm not asking the question correctly, or providing the right information.
The problem:
I've purchased a wireless printer, (an HP 6500a) and I can not see / ping / use the printer on the wireless network.
Environment:
Cisco 891 ISR in standalone. Single office - Home-office environment. Nothing spectacular. WLAN connected and operational to the internet.
The printer is configured to use a static IP of 10.0.0.3 and reports that it is connected to the AP. However, when I ping FROM the command line at the AP, I DO NOT see the printer. (I did previously, but we lost power last night due to a storm and I'm still trying to reconfigure it...) DHCP is configured on the router to exclude the range 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.0.99
How do I configure the wireless router to allow any connected client to share files / printers etc? Seems that the Cisco router has this shut off
by default and I've found nothing in the user manual or by asking for help on here how to reverse this so that I can share printers / files on the LAN.
Please, I'm not stupid, but I'm only casually familiar with IOS and Cisco's networking terms.
Thanks in advance,
-Mike

Help with timecode and video freeze during Print to Video

This has happened twice in last couple months. Timeline is usually around 22 - 23 minutes. At some point during playback to HDV deck using Print to Video via FireWire, the timecode freezes and so does the video for approx. 2-3 seconds, then resumes on 2-3 seconds later in the timeline. Everything is still in perfect sync. Playing back the timeline on computer reveals nothing. Please, does anyone have any suggestions at all??

You should be mixing down the audio before you record to tape, try that if you haven't done it first...
If that fails, export a self contained QuickTime movie, then see if it doesn't print to video or edit to tape better.
Use the fastest drive you have for the QT movie's playback, and it should be something other than your startup disk.

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
Printer Driver v9.33
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,
C

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

What is the best and least expensive wireless printer for ipad2?

What is the best and least expensive wireless printer for ipad2?

Do you mean a external cd/dvd drive that connects by usb port? If you do then any brand will work. It does not have to be a apple brand for it to work on your mac. Most go for around $30 in the usa.
I use a asus brand that cost me just under $30. Works on any computer it is connect to.

Help with count and sum query

Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
CASE
WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
END
ACCOUNTS,
CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
GROUP BY a.company,
b.district,
a.cost_ctr,
c.category,
a.fiscal_month,
a.fiscal_year;
which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.

I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
     SELECT a.empl_id
     ,     CASE
                    WHEN c.category = 'E'
              THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
                    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
            END          AS accounts
     ,      CASE
                    WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                    THEN 'OH'
                    ELSE 'NA'
            END          AS market
     FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
     LEFT OUTER JOIN mms_dist_copy             b ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
     INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
     WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
     AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
     AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
,       accounts
,       market
,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
,       COUNT (empl_id)      AS head_count
FROM       got_group_by_columns
GROUP BY accounts
,            market
;But that's just a wild guess.
You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

Nothing happens when I press PRINT via wireless printer sharing

I have Mac G5 and Mac Mini, both with Mac OS X 10.4.7, both with Airport Extreme cards connected wirelessly to my Linksys router. I have Printer Sharing enabled on the G5 and selected "shared HP printer" on the Mac Mini. Everything appears to be setup correctly. However, I display the Print... dialog on the Mac Mini and click OK and nothing happens. I can click until I'm blue in the face. Nothing happens when I click Preview either. This has been this way for a long time. I THINK, and I repeat, I THINK there was a known issue with this that was fixed in, say, 10.3.x, and I recall ONE TIME was I able to print. I'm trying to recall, but I think when I upgraded to 10.4 I'm back to nothing happening.
Any clues? I'm Mac savvy and, as far as I know, have everything set correctly--not that it should require much effort. Second, as a possible linked problem, similarly, when the Mac Mini sees the G5 in the Network Browser and I click "Connect..." the connection is made, then disconnected a few seconds later. So I'm thinking something may be hosed in the sharing department of the G5, but I wouldn't know what or where.
Thanx for any assistance!

This thread may be of some help, though I am not completely sure if it applies to wireless printer sharing; it's the same symptom though:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=424795&tstart=0
Another possibility is to make sure the machines have the same version of the HP drivers.
Hope this helps.

Wireless printer sharing with windows 7 and vista operating systems.

hello can anyone help me?
i have a new HP pc with windows 7 OS, and have an epson PX710W 3in1 printer.
i want to connect a laptop with vista OS to share the printer (wireless set up).
the pc will print documents ok via wireless link, but when i power up the laptop it appears to inhibit the printing function (document will not print).
i have set up file/ print sharing but there is the problem. it appears to me that sharing is only possible between pc,s etc with windows 7 OS via the homegroup set up. Has anyone encountered this problem at all, has anyone any ideas? or is it a configuration problem that i'm not aware of?

I found that I had issues with getting all of these to work - individually. I have an XPPro (32) pc trying to print to Win7Ultimate printer - printer is shared with all settings wide open, works great with another 7 or Vista machine, but same errors
as above for XP. I got it to work an old way, and then the "local port" way worked. I don't really know why as yet, but I am investigating.
My Solution -
1. As stated in other posts, install the printer locally on the XP machine. Make sure that it prints.
2. Connect the printer to the 7 machine, print a test, then change the file and print sharing options to "yes". I also installed the "Universal Driver" for my printer - HP1200 Laserjet.
3. Make sure that the Network type that the 7 machine sees is "Work" or "Home", not "Public". - I don't know if this really did anything or not, but I did make the change - mine thought the network was "Public".
4. Go back to the XP machine, if you get errors when you add the "Local Port" as suggested, then do this -
Warning Old Dos Trick -
- Open a Command Prompt, then type (without quotes) "net use Lpt1 \\COMPUTERNAME\PRINTERSHARE " - where "computername" is the name of the computer and sharename is the shared name of the printer
on that computer.
- you SHOULD see "command completed successfully", if not check to make sure that you have rights on the 7 machine. Now you should be able to print a test page to the printer. CAUTION - it took awhile for the changes to
take, so you may have the hourglass looking at you for a few minutes. - Once you reboot this will not work as the connection is just for that session.
To explain: this command is the dos version of what happens when you re-route output to a different destination - thus any traffic to LPT1 goes to \\computername\sharename.
5. After this worked, I then could add the "local port", as detailed earlier and had no errors.
Hope this helps someone else!

Mac Address Filtering Issue with DI-624 router and HP D110 Wireless Printer

Just got the D110 Wireless Printer and cannot connect to the wireless router.
I have a D-Link DI-624 Air Plus Xtreme G 2.4GHz Wireless Router.
The error message that I'm recieving from the printer is that "Mac address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router. This can prevent your HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup....etc."
The D-Link is setup using WPA-PSK security. If I turn off all security than the wireless printer is able to connect. With WPA-PSK or even WEP enabled I cannot connect the printer to the wireless router. There is no connection to hardwire the printer and the router.
I've logged on to the router's admin and have confirmed several times that Mac filtering is turned off by going to Advanced > Filters > Mac Filters > and choosing Disabled Mac Filters. Where else is this setting? Why is the printer not able to connect?
Further, I check the logs on the router and it shows "Wireless PC Connected" and "Authentication Success" with a note that has the Mac Hardware Address matching the printer's mac hardware address on the Wireless Network Test Report. It would appear that the router is letting the Print in but that the printer is not able to communicate for some reason. It even shows under status > wireless that the printer is connected.
When i spoke to HP, they said to contact the router company and that they could not help. When I called D-Link they said tech support is no longer available for the model. I'm stuck, can anybody help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Windows XP, tried both the front of the printer as well as connecting via USB and using the software.
After a few hours on the phone with both D-Link and HP, the issue has been resolved.
Apparently eventhough Mac Filtering was disabled (set to Disabled MAC Filters), the Mac address had to be entered into the router to allow it while keeping the setting to Disabled Mac Filters. To me it appeared counter intuitive to enter the Mac address while it's set to Disabled Mac Filters so I did not try that before getting on the phone with HP. Further on this, the problem did not go away right after adding the mac address but rather after restarting the router as the mac address addition did not take effect without a reboot of the device.
HP was much more helpful than D-Link on this one though it would be nice for HP to add to their instructions and Wireless Network Test Report to add the Mac address just in case. I would have tried that step if it was stated that it's okay to add the mac address and keep mac filters disabled.

Help with Epson and HP All-In-One Drivers

I've been looking through the forums for a day and not really finding what I'm looking for, so I decided to post...
Running an AE-N for a Macbook, a Powermac, and a Powerbook.
I've got two printers...an Epson R200 photo printer and an HP PSC 1410 All-In-One printer/scanner. I'm not worried about the scanning so much as the actual printing, both wirelessly and wired. I have no problem adding the printers...they pop up effortlessly in the printer setup through bonjour. But once I actually try to print to them, they endlessly search for the printer ("Looking for printer Epson R200"). Didn't think this would be a problem because they were found so easily by the AE.
I've read all the iFelix stuff posted and granted, I haven't tried the GIMP method just yet, but the R200 at least should be printing right out of the box, correct?
The printers are plugged into a USB hub and I've got an external HD plugged in as well...no problems with it. Any help would be appreciated...

This is working. I had the same problem with Yosemite and found Hp drivers were not working properly.
No need to delete the HP folder in library- printers because there wasn't any directory.
