Need Help Badly With Network Printing

Alright im very new to macs but have managed to catch on quickly, the only trouble im having is adding a network printer.
I go to IP Printing in the Printer Browser then click more printers select Windows Printing then select my My Home Work Group which is what all the PC's in my house use and I click on the PC that has the printer conected to it usb and it asks for me to type in a name and password.
Question is what name and password do i use i tryed using the user name of the user and there password but it doesnt work it gives me and error 256

OK, then you may want to take this up in the Mac OS X Printing forum. You'll probably be more likely to get help there, since it's not a MacBook problem, per se.
For starters, you may find this thread or this thread helpful.
Good luck.

  • I need help badly with my ibook and palm pilot

    Good day. I recently fixed my ibook and my palm to sync with each other. I configured my palm to sync with entourage. I then realized that it would be much better that if I sync my palm pilot with the palm desktop. Gow do I now reverse this? How do i cancel entourage to sync with my pal pilot. please advise. need help badly on this. thanks... i just like to feep my files organized and i find it difficult using entourage...my palm pilot is a palm TX...

    I also have a Palm handheld. I use iCal and Address Book more than Entourage. This is what I did:
    At first, I tried to adapt to Palm Desktop. I didn't like it, so I looked for the *iSync Conduit*. I found it and installed it. Then, I ignored the Palm desktop software (except the HotSync utility) and have used iSync with iCal and Address Book since.
    I know that doesn't answer the question about switching from Entourage, but Desktop isn't that great either. iSync is what I recommend.

  • Need help installing Canon network printer on Mountain Lion

    I am trying to install a Canon MF4270 network printer with my Macbook Air running Mountain Lion.
    I added the printer using its IP, and selected the MF4200 driver from the list that came installed with the OS.  The printer worked, but it would not allow me to print double-sided (the option was greyed out). Some research showed that other people with similar problems simply updated the printer driver. 
    I checked the driver version and it said 2.0. I went to the Canon website and downloaded the newest version of the driver, which said 2.43.
    I re-added the printer with the new driver. Same problem.
    So I deleted the driver and the list of associated files, given to me by Canon tech support (I verified then that the MF4200 driver was no longer on the list), then installed the new driver (restarting my computer at every step).  I re-added the printer.
    Now, it doesn't work at all. When I try to print, I get the following message: "Canon UFR II Printer Driver / Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information."
    I tried adding the printer using the Generic PostScript Printer driver, and when I print, it says that it is printing and I get no errors, but nothing prints.
    Now, I can't print at all, and no one at Canon or Apple has been able to solve the problem.
    Please help.

    First, delete the print queue in the Print & Scan preference pane, if you haven't already done so.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Caches/Canon/CUPSCAPT/CCPD/ccpd.conf
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your login password.
    Recreate the print queue.

  • Need help connecting to network printer using xfce and cups

    Hello
    please can someone assist me with setting up a printer.
    I am running arch and xfce desktop.
    I have an Epson Stylus Photo R800 USB printer connected to a wireless Belkin all-in-one Print Server.
    I do not know how to connect to this printer.
    I am not conversant in CUPS or network printing and would very much like to use the printer.
    My arch box is connected through cable to a wireless router.
    The print server is connected to the wireless router and the router confirms the print server is attached to the network.
    The print server IP address is 192.168.0.100.
    The printer server has a web interface which I used to set wireless and TCP settings. I should say that I went into this interface and configured the print server which is totally usable and fine from a Vista laptop using wireless - vista laptop "sees" the print server and prints over wireless, therefore I know the server and printer are working together and all the print server settings are fine. I dont know how Vista connects, it just does!
    I tried installing gutenprint and foomatic, went into the CUPS server page (localhost:631) and found my printer but I'm not sure if my connection string (socket://192.168.0.100:9100) is correct. I've tried several values and several Epson drivers from the CUPS web interface, all to no avail. I just get this message:
    bash-3.2# lpstat -t
    scheduler is running
    system default destination: Epson
    device for Epson: socket://192.168.0.100:9100

    printer Epson now printing Epson-0. enabled since Sat 26 Jul 2008 22:53:35 BST

    I have no desire to be a CUPS expert nor a networking expert - I was rather hoping someone could guide me through the process, I have tried reading web links (google) but do not understand various pages and instructions.

    EDIT:
    SOLVED!
    the problem was that gutenprint needed to be installed.
    I looked at the rastertops file in /usr/lib/cups/filter and it was very small, handfull of lines, but refered to gutenprint (whatever that is).
    "pacman -Q gutenprint" revealed it was not installed.
    All is fine now.
    GREAT!

  • Help needed to communicate with networked printer

    I have a iMac G5 with Airport card. I am trying to communicate with an HP7660 printer attached to a WinXP machine with a USB cable. I can communicate bidirectionally fine with shared files between the Mac and the PC. I have turned on the file sharing on the printer itself. In the Mac, in System Preferences/Print & Fax, I set up the printer in the Printer Browser window with the following:
    Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD
    Address: I used the IP address of the PC
    Queue: left blank
    Name: hp7660 (same as I gave it on the PC)
    Location: I used the IP address of the PC
    Print Using: Generic Postscript Printer (this was the default since this model was not shown in the printer list.
    In the Print & Fax, under Sharing, it shows the hp7660 checked.
    In Printer Setup, "Printer model" shows Generic Postscript Printer.
    In Printer Setup, "Name & Location" shows correct for both. The Queue is shown as hp7660 and the driver version is 10.4 (the Mac version).
    Now, when I open a Word file and click on "File/Print", the "Printer" is hp7660. When I click Print, I get an error message that says
    "Network host "IP address" is busy, down or unreachable; will retry in 30 seconds..."
    This same thing happens regardless of the Protocol option that I choose: Line Printer Daemon, Internet Printing Protocol, or HP Jet Direct.
    During this time, I get no error message on the PC and there is no other work going on at the PC. As I said, I can easily communicate between both machines, except for the printing.
    If all of the configuration settings are correct, does anyone have any ideas that I might have overlooked?
    Thanks
    Herschel

    Henry,
    Thanks for being so patient with my problem.
    When I follow the efelix directions for setting up the PC, it says that when you press the "Add" button on the Mac, a drop down menu will appear so that one can choose "Window Printing". This is not what happens for me. When I push the "Add" button, a "Printer Browser" window opens.
    This Printer Browser window (in the first box) gives me only 3 options: the LPD, IPP and Socket options. After manually entering the Address (IP address of PC), Name (same as shown on the PC), and Location (IP address of PC), the default in "Print Using" shows up as "Generic Postscript Printer". I then click on the "Print Using" using option to choose the HP Photosmart 7660 printer from the list rather than the Generic Postscript Printer.
    Now, when I click on "Add", the "Windows Printing/Workgroup" comes up in a Printer Browser window. It has only one item under the "Name" column which is my name and under the "Comment" column it had the Mac ID listed. I then choose "Network Neighborhood" as suggested in the efelix website. What appears now is a single choice called "WORKGROUP" under both the "Name" and "Comment" columns. I should have had 2 choices (as efelix shows), one being "WORKGROUP" and the other being a workgroup that contains my remote PC.
    This procedure, according the efelix procedure broke down at the very beginning when he suggests clicking on Add immediatly after setting up the PC. I did not get the drop down window he shows in order to choose "Windows Printing". Rather, this choice did not appear until I went through the configuration procedure of manually choosing the "HP Photosmart 760 Foomatic/hpijs" from the printer list. I don't know whether this may be due to a difference in Panther or Tiger (which I have), but the way I did it does not allow me to make the connection.
    So, in summary, it requires that I take a different path to get to the same conditions that efelix shows. Obviously, it is not getting the results needed. I sometimes wonder whether deleting the "hpijs" and 'ghostscript" and just using the HP upgrade might work? What do you think? Or is there some other way to get the "Add" window to give me the drop down window?
    I know this may be confusing, but I am trying to give you the step by step procedure that is happening.
    Thanks
    Herschel

  • Need help setting up network printer...

    Good afternoon.
    I have an HP 2600n printer connected to my network through my router... I've got the printer working through my Windows Laptop and printing over the network. I have the printer assigned a static IP address.
    I can't for the life of me get it to show up, assign it, or anything on my mini... I've got two more Apple iBooks in my house that I want to set up too, but thought I'd start with the mini. Tried the istallation disc, and it goes through and tells me the install is finished. Gone to print utility, etc... just can't figure this one out.
    If anyone can give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Okay, I just needed to know...
    Another thing you can check is your AppleTalk setting. Go to your System Preference, Network, (Ethernet or Airport, however you're connected to your network), AppleTalk, and make sure AppleTalk is active.
    If not active, activate it and apply the change and go back to printer setup, add, IP Printer and hit more printers button at bottom, it'll give you another window for AppleTalk printers, see if you printer comes up there.
    I hope this helps,
    Alex

    problem is, the phone has a password (kimberly) from the owner before, which i do have but i am unable to enter it to remove it, as far as i got was Ki.
    i read something about ajusting the screws help, and making sure the call button section is securely stick down... which i have been trying.
    other thing too, when i try clicking the sceen, sometime it clicks once, but most other times it sounds like 20 or so clicks...

  • I need help badly with my dream phone. Help me please.

    I just bought my iPhone 4 today. As I charged it tonight it shut down. I tried to turn it on again (with the charger connected), it says "Connect to iTunes" with a picture of a USB cable and an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. So itried to remove the charger and the phone went off again and it doesnt want to turn on without the charger connected. Please help me. Ive been dreanibg of this kind of phone since apple released its iphone 3g. and now that I have my own, this is what happened. Please help me. I'm begging all of u.

    Yes. I have read everything. Like I said sir, it does not want to turn on, it only turns on when the charger is connected. When I'm connecting it to my computer it only turns on for like 5 seconds then shuts down. so I won't be able to do any of those things that I missed if I don't get the phone to turn on. That's my biggest problem.

  • Please i really need help bad with installation

    I bought dreamweaver 8 long time ago worked on my other
    computer wit xp, i bought another computer vista in it and
    installed dreamweaver all it does is I see the logo and then it
    turns off the program, so i tried and downloaded a trial version of
    CS4, of course i uninstalled dreamweaver 8, cleaned my registry and
    hidden folders and installed it and the same deal i only see the
    logo and it shuts off the program, so i downloaded the CS3 same
    deal. could anybody plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help
    me out. whats going on?
    i hate frontpage.

    What version of Vista are you using?
    Also with CS4, if it is not working that is something that
    would be better suited for Adobe support since they do support CS4
    and Vista.

  • Printing dashboard with network printer

    Is there any way to send/print the dashboard page to physical network printer? i am having links to HTML print and PDF print. But i want to print with network printer. please give some suggetion.
    thanks

    Currently there is no out of the box solution. But with some amount of work you can make it very robust by using ibots and BI Publisher Java APIs. You need to basically call the delivery manager API from the ibot. You can pass the output of a dashboard to the API which can print to a local printer. I have an example in my blog entry here http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/01/oracle-bi-ee-101332-calling-bi-publisher-java-apis-from-ibots-storing-reports-in-file-system-using-delivers-and-bi-publisher-scheduler/. Though this talks about storing the reports in a file system, the idea is the same. Instead of a file-system destination use printer as the destination.

  • Adobe reader XI: doule sided print problem with network printer (windows 8 pro)

    Hi, I'm facing a problem with my old printer, the xerox phaser 3160n. It was connected to my notebook through network connection, and everything works well with Adobe X /Win 7 OS (including the double side print, of course) last month, I have upgraded my NB to windows 8 with clean install
    clean install my printer driver for windows 8 too, and Adobe reader XI was also downloaded through official website.
    However, since I was about to use double sided print in Adobe reader XI (11.00.02) it couldn't obey the order, but just print one side as usual
    I have checked the "option" of my printer, and it was correctly set to "double-sided print". I have tried word 2013 to open the same pdf, and choose the same "double-sided print" and it works perfectly.
    Is this problem a bug? and would it be corrected in the next update version??
    (I remeber I've saw a similar issue too, with network printer, but I couldn't find it)
    Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    Meanwhile, after insatlling the latest driver for printer from the manufacture website, restart the spooler service as a test.
    Start > Run > cmd and type "net stop spooler" after that "net start spooler" or start > run > service.msc and restart it over the GUI.
    Run Printer Troubleshootor under Action Center\Troubleshooting\Programs\Printer, and check if it helps.
    And yes, the manufacture should have more sence about the printer, it's recommended to contact them.
