LPR Printer via printer policy

Hi,
we should install two LPR printers (standard TCP/IP ports) pointing to the same server with different queue names.
The two printer policies create on the target system only one port named ZENworks_IP.AD.DR.ESS. The last active policy gives the queue name!
(Support | Cannot configure multiple LPR printers on the same IP address)
But there is another bug on creating LPR port via ZCM: The port number will be 9100 instead of 515! So I cannot use the printer policy functionality to create LPR printers!
If I change the Registrykey 'PortNumber' in the hive HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Stan dard TCP/IP Port\Ports\ZENworks_IP.AD.DR.ESS from the value hex:238c (9100) to the value hex:203 (515) and restart the service spooler I can print to the queue!
It would be nice, if in the printer policy would be an option to import printer properties. Actually, I have to import the properties with a bundle and the following command: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /Sr /n "PRINTERNAME" /a CONFIG.dat d

All-in-one printer via Print Server

Hello-
I'm trying set my HP PSC 1610 All-In-One printer up to be shared and get it off the desk and into the closet. I'm thinking that a little printserver would handle this quite nicely but I'm concerned about how scanning would work through the print server. I can't find any information about this online and since the 1610 is not network enabled by default I'm worried I won't be able to scan. Any experience with this?
Thanks.

HP wrote its OS X drivers to ONLY work via USB. If you can find third-party drivers, you may be able to get it to work. Networkable OS X "CUPS" print drivers:

Printing via printer-server fails

I recently bought a Surecom EP-4904AX broadband router to connect a Windows-ME PC and my 15" 1.67GHz Powerbook G4 (MacOS 10.4.8) to the internet simultaneously. The broadband router also has a built-in printer server which connects to a USB printer (in my case this is a Canon S-500).
Now, the Windows PC prints fine via the router/printer-server, but not the Mac. What happens is that I get a progress dialog, but close to 100% it just stops. The printer doesn't respond at all.
Having read that normal printer-drivers don't work in setups like this I downloaded and installed the Gutenprint/CUPS drivers instead (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3).
The printer still doesn't respond when trying to print from the Mac. What am I doing wrong?

Did you say you have this working on a PC?
Yup. Works fine there.
The router came with an installation CD for Windows (but not for Macs as always).
Here's how
to get the needed info from the PC -
(Sorry, this is oriented to Windows XP)
I've got Windows ME, but the principle should be more or less the same I guess.
Go to Printers & Faxes and right-cick on the printer
and select "Properties."
Go to the Ports tab and note the Description
(highlighted in blue on my PC). Standard TCP/IP port
or internet port are most likely.
Nope. It's different here.
It's assigned to the following port:
Surecom_1 (CanonS500192.168.1.1)
If I click on that setting I'm shown a list of all sorts of different ports (COM1, COM2, USBPRN1, LPT1, LPT2 etc.) where "Surecom_1 (CanonS500192.168.1.1)" is one of them.
There's also a button for port-settings which I press and get the following:
Printer server IP: 192.168.1.1
Printer name: Canon S-500
Click on Configure Port.
Here you'll find the IP address, and protocol
selection, and port number or queue name. If Raw is
checked and port number 9100 entered, that equals HP
Jetdirect protocol on OS X.
Hmmm... this seems familiar.
If I click on the button for printer queue settings there's a part for "queue data-format" and this is set to RAW. The only other option available is EMF.
Gimme a few minutes to try this out (using "HP Jetdirect -socket" which I've never used before).
YES, it works!!!!!!
But all's not a joy as the print quality isn't much to write home about. I printed out some text, and it's pretty weak (gray as opposed to black).
I assume this is because of the printer-drivers because I've experienced the exact same thing when I tried installing Linux on the PC. Printing was just as bad there, but within Windows, using the supplied Canon S-500 driver it prints razor sharp and black text is actually black.
Or could something else be the problem?
As mentioned earlier I'm using the Gutenberg/CUPS printer driver package and chosen the Canon S-500 driver, so it should be correct.

Can't connect to printer via usb print server

So I've tried to connect to an EPSON stylus printer from my iMac via a print server with no success.
Here's some info to help focus the questions/help:
iMac running Mavericks, Epson SP R200 printer, Belkin Play router, Toshiba Satellite laptop, Level1 USB print server
Win8.1 laptop prints via print server just fineso IP, port, firewall issues on router/print server side are ruled out.
I have the fire wall off on the iMac
I've quadruple checked IP and subnet numbers of iMac to rest of network, and they all jive.
I can pull up the config page of the print server via Safari on the iMacso connectivity is there
I previously had the printer attached directly to the iMac, and successfully printed.
I've tried to add the printer via IP > LPD method AND Advanced > Windows printer via spoolss
I can get as far as adding the printer, but as soon as I attempt to print a test page the printer has a "filter" error, or some "color" error, the job just goes into nothingness, or the job just sits there and the que is paused.
This is very frustrating to put it nicely.
-Vince

What driver are you using? - Don't know if you remember, but you had to be using Gutenprint, because Epson's driver for USB-only printers, only works via USB.

Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
Thank You,
mholmau

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.

Printing: (old) Lexmark Printer via USB - Router - Arch

Hey Guys,
i am trying to get my printer working on Arch.
Printer: Lexmark T632
Router: (Vodafone) EasyBox 802
System: Arch
The printer is kinda old and does not have a network connection, so it is connected via usb with the router.
Printing works with windows (xp to 8).
At the moment i have cups installed, as well as "lexmark-inkjet-legacy".
Cups is working and i can access the network interface, also i can set up a printer. (i did, and its not working - when i try to print the interface says "Filter Failed")
What i did in windows to get it working:
1. add a local printer
2. create a new interface -> default TCP/IP
3. enter ip of the router, in my case 192.168.2.1
4. select the driver
5. for devicetype select custom and not generic
6. in this custom window select protokoll "lpr"
7. and it works.
So, i tried doing this in cups:
1. add printer, LPD/LPR Host or Printer
2. entered ip: "192.168.2.1/515" (as 515 is his queue name given in the router settings), just "192.168.2.1" did not work
3. enter name etc
4. now i can either choose a specific driver, or upload a ppd file. i did the last one as the list does not contain my printer. The file i used for this is http://support.lexmark.com/index?docLoc … rlocale=EN
Now, if i try to print via "lpr filename", no error occurs. But in the networkinterface under "Jobs" under "State" says "stopped, Filter failed"
Guess this is because i dont have the right driver for my printer.
The Lexmark webside provides a .deb package for my printer, but installing this did not help (see http://support.lexmark.com:80/lexmark/i … id=DR21363 ) or get me more entries in the driver selection.
This download also provides a tool called "lexmark" where you can setup printers - but i did not figure out how to use this to set up an lpd printer.
does anyone has an idea what i could do?

Using a RPI has another advantage, you could setup SANE to act as a server together with xinetd, that way everybody in the house can use the scanner too, could be a lot of walking, though
I seldom use the scanner, so I decided to keep that one local, on the PI.
Btw. Mine is also hardwired..

Printing to older LaserJet Printer via Ethernet Cable

Hi. I've read many posts that don't quite get as basic as I need. I am trying to get an old HP LaserJet 5 printer I love running on my mac running OSX 10.4.11. The printer has an ethernet port (no USB) and so does my mac. Should be simple right? WRONG! I downloaded and installed the correct driver from HP, connected the printer to my mac with the ethernet cable. Rebooted and tried to add the printer via the Printer Utility. I THINK the printer was supposed to be recognized in some way automatically in the add process since it is connected via a cable and turned on, but isn't. I also, following a post here, enabled AppleTalk with built-in Ethernet. Can someone please give me a simple step by step to add this printer? Do I truly need some adapter to use the direct Ethernet to Ethernet connection? That seems crazy to me!

That printer is too old to support Bonjour, so it will not be recognized automatically. You also need to set an IP address for the printer, the gateway address of your router, and the network mask. This is done via the printer's front panel. To add the printer requires configuring it in the Printer Setup Utility as an LPR printer. You will need to enter the IP address of the printer and an optional queue name of your choice (not more than 11 alpha-numeric characters plus the underline. No spaces.)
The IP address you choose for the printer should be one that is within the DHCP range of your router (for example, 192.168.0.2-199 or 10.0.1.2-199.) Preferable to choose an address somewhere in the middle that isn't likely to be used by the router for any other devices.

Photoshop: Printing: via Mac from printer on Windows 7

Hi all,
First off - if you know a better place I should be posting this question, please inform.
I'm trying to print from Photoshop onto a printer connected via a windows computer. I've tried everything and am nearly at the point of paying somebody 40 bucks to just set it up for me. This is a pain since I have to interrupt the person working at the windows computer just to send an order to print.
Printer: Epson Stylus Pro 9600 Ultrachrome Ink
Connected to: Windows 7 Computer
Shared to: iMac 10.8.3
Set windows to workgroup
Made sure workgroup same name in Mac
Set all shared settings in Windows to everyone and allowed everyone to make all changes
Set printer sharing settings to everyone and allow to print/manage.
Tried connecting printer from Mac finder: Go > Connect to Server > smb://[IP address] AND smb://[user@computer]/users
Tried connecting printer from Print & Scan section of System Preferences: + > Windows > workgroup > jim-pc (computer name). It asks me for a name and password at this point. No name and password combination works. Tried "guest" "guest" and that seemed to work until I tried printing. Instead of completing the print job it states something like "Waiting for Authorization". I tried authorizing as "guest" "guest" but the print disappears from the queue.
Tried connecting from Print & Scan: + > Advanced > Type: LPD/LPR Host of Printer, Device: Another Device, URL: "Ipd://[IP Address]. Left name as IP address. Tried Generic PostScript Printer - didn't work. Tried Epson S9600 drive (updated it)- didn't work. Tried Generic PCL Printer and it actually printed a test page! It left the printer running like it was thinking, though. When I went to print from Photoshop it no longer worked and I couldn't print a test page. I tried the same thing with changing the name to no avail.
I'm completely at a loss. I've gone over all of the options I've found on other forums. I spent 6+ hours (yep) trying to figure this out on the weekend. If anyone has any ideas, helpful links and/or step-by-step guides I would be grateful. If you need more information or you're part of a site like crossloops and want that $40... I think I'm at that point now!
Thanks for reading,

You will need a print server software on your Windows machine. There is no way to print directly via a Windows share from Mac.

XP clients can't see printers made available via Print Services on 10.4.10

Hi
Having problems attaching XP clients to an HP4730mfp via Print Services on OS X Server 10.4.10.
I've enabled SMB and LPR for the required queue but when browsing for the printer on an XP machine, while the print server is listed, no printers are available.
I have tried enabling Bonjour and running Bonjour for Windows and, while it claimed to have set up correctly, a print job completes successfully on the XPP machine but never arrives at the print server, let alone the printer.
Any suggestions?

I do not have guest access on, because I want to monitor who is printing, but also have no file shares either - I want to keep separation between file and print servers.
Finally found an (the?) answer.
1. Set up a standard TCP/IP port pointing to the IP address.
2. When the "Additional port info required" message turns up, choose 'Custom'.
3. Set to LPR (and tick 'LPR Byte Counting Enabled" - optional?)
4. Continue...
Strangely, this didn't appear to work will SMB was enabled in the print queue but it did when the queue was LPR only (maybe I just imagined that).
Not the best solution but it works for my situation.

No printing via Bonjour from Windows

Windows PCs can't print via my Tiger server using Bonjour. The printers shared by the server are visible in the Bonjour add new printer wizard. When printing the jobs are sent from the Windows PCs without error messages. But nothing gets printed.
The same queues work fine from Macs.
Looked for the print server logs, but the only logs for the queues are for Appletalk, and they are empty. The server is set not to share any of the print queues via Appletalk.
Tried printing via SMB, but no luck there either.
Printing from Windows directly to the printers using Bonjour works.
Tested turning of the server firewall, but this did not help.
Any ideas waht could be wrong?

Since you can print directly to them from Windows via Bonjour I am wondering how you are sharing the printer from the server. My guess is that it is via 'Print & Fax' of System Preferences. If the printers support LPR, then I would suggest you configure the server printers this way. Go to Server Admin > Print > Settings and enable LPR and 'Show name in Bonjour'. This will give you more control over the printers.
If you have shared the printers this way and since SMB also fails, then I would ensure you haven't enabled print quotas for the queue. This can make jobs vanish.
Even if you are using 'Print & Fax' to share the printer, you still should be able to see the cups error log. In the Server Admin, select Print, then select Logs and then for the Show menu select error log. This is the same log for both methods of shared printers and this should give some clues as to why the Windows spool files are not printing.

Problem consistently printing via new (summer 2011) AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION and Brother wireless printer (model HL5370DW). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer. I'm a newb here and will try to offer as much detail as I can about the dilemma at hand.
Scenario: Home network has been recently set up for wireless internet access via NEW Airport Extreme Base Station (purchased September 2011). Units accessing the network include: 2011 Macbook Pro, 2011 Macbook Air, 2007 Macbook, 2009 Macbook Pro, 2 iPhone 3GSs, and a 1st-gen iPad (and a partridge in a pear tree AEBS is configured to run WPA2 encrypted network, as well as a WPA2 guest network. I am attempting to yoke a BROTHER HL5370DW wireless B or G/ ethernet / usb-capable printer to the main network such that any and all units can print wirelessly or its equivalent (i.e., via printer hooked to AEBS through USB hub)
Problem: Despite configuring the Brother printer to recognize the main WPA2 network I created, I am unable to get wireless printing to work. My workaround was to physically connect Brother printer to AEBS via USB, specifically using a Belkin USB hub (after all, I wanted access to usb drives, as well as the printer). This workaround works ONLY SOME OF THE TIME. Generally, after a fresh boot of any computer or after a restart of the AEBS, any given computer will be able to print (i.e., any computer wirelessly connected to the main WPA2 network recognizes the printer). HOWEVER, at random times, printer access is gone (as is access to USB drives connected to AEBS's usb hub). Wireless networks are still up and running when that happens. IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE USB HUB's devices (i.e., printer and usb drives) to ALWAYS REMAIN AVAILABLE AS LONG AS THEY STAY CONNECTED TO THE AEBS? In other words, what accounts for the intermittent loss of the usb peripherals?
Sometimes, I just shut the airport off on whatever computer is having this problem, and the problem goes away. Sometimes, the problem is present across all computers in the house, sometimes only a few are affected. I can ALWAYS see the AEBS in the Airport Utility if the AEBS is connected to the particular computer via ETHERNET CABLE.
My theories:
- true wireless printing (i.e., without usb hub workaround) doesn't work because the N network somehow isn't backwards compatible with the Brother printer, which, i believe, is B/G. Although...isn't Wireless N networking supposed to work with BG devices? I did find a thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2570774?start=0&tstart=0 ) that explains some of the particulars of WPA2 encryption and Wireless B/G issues, but it was beyond my level of comprehension (I'm a psychologist, but not an Apple Genius
- The usb workaround is only intermittently viable because of some flaw in the Airport or Airport Utility that causes dropouts to happen when a Macbook Pro or Air's lid gets closed or one gets opened after having been at a different network (e.g., at my office).
QUESTIONS:
- Should I try to use my old router (7 year old Linksys WRT54G) as an access point and connect the Brother printer to that G-router? How do I do that?
- I wouldn't mind just relying on the usb hub method if I could just insure more consistency (i.e., no random dropouts of peripherals). How could I do this?
Rule out:
- wireless printing works on my printer - it was being recognized back before the AEBS. I had the Linksys router running a WEP network and had the wireless printer talking with no cables to the router and the computers. (I just don't want to revert to using WEP encryption given its lack of security and my trying to protect HiPAA related health information on behalf of patients)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

13 ASCII characters = 104 (aka 128)-bit WEP
encryption
If turning off WEP works, then you just need to
provide the cameras with the "Equivalent Network Password".
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual
standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit
WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain
algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords
(or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use
of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than
lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different
vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX
key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be
hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice
versa.
You may find the following article helpful:
- Apple article, especially the part about
"Third-party client to Airport".
Brilliant idea about trying the system with No encryption on... that DID solve the problem... almost.. once I turned off the encryption option, and restarted the Airport, I got a dialog box showing that the "Base station needs attention" but it didn't indicate WHAT kind of "assistance" it needed. Nonetheless, I closed out of the Airport program only to find that the indicator light, which had been Green, was now, flashing Yellow and I could not connect anything, including my computer. I opened the Airport program again and found the ONLY way I could get the Green light on was to select some sort of encryption option... then the light would go Green again but my cameras would not hook up again, and when I went back in and ONLY changed the option to NO encryption, I got the yellow flashing light and the "this base unit needs attention" warning...
I think your suggestions are almost on the mark... is there any way of reconciling the WEP coding between the cameras and the Airport??? Or turning off the encryption option and STILL have Airport work?
Thanks again for your help and suggestions... I really appreciate it.

Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

I have a wireless network via cable modem with some PCs attached and a printer but am having trouble connecting my new MacBook to the HP LaserJet 2100 printer via wireless. I do not have airport express and not sure I need it to have the MacBook print to this printer. Please advise.

Hi topgunner,
How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

I cannot find the 'WPA passphrase' to connect my printer via wireless and cannot find it in Airport utility (MAC says it cannot find any open airports)

MAC OS X 10.6.3 - desktop Mac
I browsed similar questions and saw that someone recommended going to the Airport Utility and then selecting manual set up or something- anyways, it could not find any airports. I have brought my printer from my house as my BF's has died - this is the first time it's asked for a WPA passphrase. We tried a very long series of capital letters and numbers as well as the password for the internet and both times the printer said "invalid passphrase"..... ......

Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
I think they're using ethernet.
To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.

Problems Printing to Shared Windows Printer Via SAMBA (foomatic error 255)

I can NOT print from my MacBookPro to a printer that's shared out from my Windows PC. Of course, printing to this same printer from my PC works fine.
Please help me resolve this printing problem.
Read on for more details regarding my printing woes!
I can successfully setup my printer on the MAC side using the Printer Setup utility. I see the shared out printer on my MAC; I can pick the printer's manufacturer and model. Everything looks ok regarding the setup of the printer on the MAC side.
However, when I try to print a file from the MAC, the printer never prints. The print job appears to get queued on the MAC side. However, after a few seconds, the printer queue displays "foomatic-rip stopped unexpectedly with error 255" (if I selected a foomatic printer driver from the hpijs). Otherwise, it says "NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY" error (if I selected a gutenprint driver instead).
The PC's Windows event logs show no problems. Indeed, the Security event log shows successful authentication & access to the printer.
The MAC's CUPS error_log displays the these error messages:
GutenPrint fails with NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY error, then says Cannot connect to SAMBA host
hpjisGhostscriptFoomatic fails with "The process 'foomatic-rip' stopped unexpectedly with status 255"
Later, I will post the exact entries from this log (I am currently separated from my MAC laptop until later this evening).
My Apple MacBookPro is running MAC OS X 10.4.11 ("Tiger"). The printer is an HP DeskJet 5150 connected via a USB port to my DELL 8400 PC. This desktop PC is running Microsoft's "Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2").
Based on reading other posts (here) and at the Linux Open Foundation (printing), I have already done the following:
Installed gutenprint;
Installed foomatic (foomatic-rip v3.42.2.15);
Installed ghostscript (espgs v7.07.1); &
Installed hpijs (hpijs v2.7.10).
NOTE: This is NOT the same problem that I posted earlier regarding inability to print to a shared printer with Leopard (MAC OS X 10.5.0). Today's posting deals with my inability to print to the shared printer from Tiger (MAC OS X 10.4.11).
NOTE: This may be a "red herring" but you may need this additional background to help resolve my printing problem. Originally, I ran "Tiger" (MAC OS X 10.4.10) on my MacBookPro laptop. Of course, networked printing worked fine at this point. On October 28, 2007, I upgraded to "Leopard" (MAC OS X 10.5.0). Leopard was a "disaster" for me (printing, networking & many other problems). On November 9, 2007, I "punted" and re-installed "Tiger" (MAC OS X 10.4.10) from Apple's original CD. On November 15, 2007, I upgraded to MAC OS X 10.4.11 via Apple's software update utility. I vaguely recollect that networked printing was working after I returned back to Tiger.

Again, the system Event logs on the Windows XP side show no error messages. In particular, the Security Event Log shows that authentication was successful; so, the MacBookPro's client process was granted access to the printer on the DELL PC side of the transaction.

Laserjet 200 will print via wireless direct but intermittently (once) via wireless network

Tried various troubleshooters on Hp and Apple websites to get this working consistently.
Installed new drivers for OSX Yosemite 10.10 - thought all would work fine as went through installing, printing test page etc. Then printer becomes unavailable - although it is on the list of printers.
Same thing has happened variuos times after re-installing it.
Will print directly via USB and wireless direct - but I want to print via the wireless network.
tried all the usual things - making sure on the right wireless network, restarting everything etc.
Using an airport router - are there some settings on this that may be causing an issue - odd though as will print once when initially connected to the wireless network.
Any ideas?

Hi @iphonebore,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Laserjet 200 M267NW will not stay connected to your wireless network running Mac OS X 10.10. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
Please see the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print. (Follow the steps for Mac OS X 10.7, and 10.8, as they will work on 10.10.)
Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection. (This will help you with maintaining the wireless connection.)
As well, please see this post, Incoming and Outgoing Printer Ports, by @VisionAiry, and verify that none of these ports are being blocked by your router.
One more place for some more wireless printing information is our HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues website.
Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!
