Notebook using Vista and wireless print server and HP5500 printer problem

Installed std vista local driver for hp5550 printer with usb cable direct to printer.  Works ok
Then, disconnected usb copper line to HP labtop and connected it into print server in router (D-link router to HP5500 printer).
Installed wireless network driver in labtop (vista os)(no updated hp driver available for Vista on HP site).
Print jobs just stack up in the que.
Used 192.168.0.1 address (which works fine for my other old win 98 computer).
Driver using the "raw" setting not "LPT"
Print Sharing is enabled.
Any suggestions?
p.s.  The wirless system works fine on an old windows 98SE computer using the original 5550 installation disk. 

Went back and installed the "Windows 2000 Print Server Software (from D-link Router 824vpn).  I assume that this included the USP Shareport program that was recommend in a thread.  I can now access router wirelessly.  However, wireless print jobs go into que for hp5550, que emptys, but printer does not start up.  Copper usb from printer to computer works fine (as separate printer)sta.  Using HPdeskjet 5550 (HPA ) printer, port 192.168.0.1, printer name/ip 192.168.0.1, protocal 9100, raw setting, port 9100, LPR and SNMP are both blank. Any suggestions (OS is Vista).  No drivers from Dlink or HP for this application.  Thanks

  • Wireless Printing with Netgear Print Server and HP Officejet 6110

    Setting up my wife's iMac for wireless printing (Mac is in Kitchen, printer in home office).
    We have a Netgear router and her internet connection (wireless) is fine.
    I configured the WGPS606 via a Vista laptop and have effectively printed through to the server wirelessly from the laptop.
    I downloaded and installed the drivers for the HP printer to the mac and have successfully printed when connected via USB (brought the printer to the kitchen to test)
    In adding the IP printer, I am able to set up an IP printer fine, but the HP driver does not appear in the dropdown menu.
    I have been able to get the iMac to ping the Print Server and choosing another HP driver does spool, but with gibberish of course.
    I believe the problem is that I can't figure out how to get the new driver to appear in the dropdown in the printer settings, which should solve the problem, I think.
    Advice?
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, there are two kinds of driver on OS X (not like Windows), Carbon and CUPS. To use the CUPS standard network protocols like IP printing, you have to use CUPS drivers. HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers (yet). Install the hpijs 3-part set:

  • What's the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?

    Hello!!
    What’s the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?
    I found two things as follows.
    1. MAC support
    2. USB dongle
    Is there anything else?

    Now I’m clear!!
    But there are descriptions for each on your home page over view tab. Due to this forum restriction; I cannot put the URL here.
    They say for each as follows.
    HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit --- Retain full all-in-one wireless functionality: print, fax from your PC, scan, and access photo memory cards access and PC status
    HP Wireless G Print Server --- Get the same functionality with your all-in-one: printing, scanning, photo memory card access, PC faxing, and printer statusSo I got confusion, that’s why I did not get the difference for them.
    And I found wrong description on your HP support document page. I recommend that you correct it, because it put consumer into confusion and break to buy this product.
    The title is “HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit - Setting up the HP Printer with the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit in Windows .”
    The wrong description is “NOTE:  You must turn on the computer with the computer adapter in order to print to the wireless product” at last line of “Step two: Configure other computers to use the printer. “
    You can erase this line!!

  • Linksys Wireless Print server and my Mac G4

    I just set up my linksys wireless print server and it's printing from my PC just fine - not so on my G4. My printer is a Canon Pixma ip5200, and the appropriate drivers etc are installed.
    I know the IP address and have tried setting up the printer via IPP (and pinged it from the mac successfully). Just no success printing. The printer utility looks like it is printing to the printer but nothing comes out.
    Any ideas?

    You won't be able to get this to work.
    The Canon printer drivers won't allow you to connect to and print to a Canon printer attached to a wireless print server.
    There is no solution, there is no way that this can work
    You have three solutions.
    Replace the Canon printer with another printer for which the drivers will work.
    Replace the Canon printer with a networked Canon printer such as the iP4000r (or any other network printer) in which case you won't need the print server
    Connect the Canon printer directly via USB to the computer to print.

  • 2101nw print server (and LaserJet M1132 MFP) – installation problems on Windows 7 (64bit)

    For two years, I've been a happy user of an HP printer (LaserJet M1132 MFP), wirelessly connected to my home network thanks to a HP Wireless G Print Server HP 2101nw.
    A week ago, a new machine came in and – to align operating systems - I had to install Windows 7 (64 bits) also on my laptop (previously we were running Windows XP).
    Then, I went on with the reinstallation of HP software, for the print server and the printer.
    And it was a disaster.
    After the failure of the first installation ("Installazione non riuscita"), I went through a series of attempts of uninstalling and reinstalling, again and again, by various methods. Uselessly. Even Revo Uninstaller did not help.
    Then, looking for information over the web, I read there was a known problem of incompatibility of the print server’s driver with 64-bit environment, and that HP was not going to rewrite it .
    You can imagine my disappointment.
    Now, hopefully, I write in this forum to ask for help. My request is twofold:
    1) I would like to properIy clean up my laptop and remove all that bad installed sw (both of the print server and the printer), so that at least I can successfully reinstall printer software for using it via USB cable.
    For this purpose, can you please give me your suggestions ?
    2) I would like to know: It is true that there is no driver available for use this print server on Windows 7 (64 bit) ?
    I’m asking because I found these pages which seems to give some hope, but I’m not so sure  ... :

  • Deskjet F 4480 and a print server for network printing

    I have a HP Pavilion (win 7) and an Acer netbook ( Win XPsp3) wirelessly networked with the HP Paviion  as the host for the Deskjet multifunction printer. I would like to set up a print server  to alleviate some problems we are having with the Acer accessing the printer. Uaually all is ok, but  It seems that whenever that netbook is put into sleep mode, I have to reboot it, shut down the printer (even to the point of disconnecting the USB and power cords, and then re hooking up all the cables)  to get ithe netbook to print. so, I am looking at installing a print server to get around this annoyance.
    I am using a DLink WB-1310 router, BTW.
    Any suggestions on a capable print server? Not to mention any other suggestions, which i certainly would appreciate.
    Thank you, all.

    HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
    Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
    Good luck.

  • Jetlan Print Server and HP Deskjet

    Hi, I'm a mac newbie (XP convert..haha). I have a Cables To Go Jetlan 3200 print server and an HP Deskjet 5550 printer. I have tried a bunch of different things to try and get my macbook to print but to no avail. It prints from a Win XP desktop no problem.
    I can see the printer when I use the "add printer" utility and according to my Jetlan documentation, it uses appletalk. I have successfully added the printer. When choosing the printer, my HP isn't listed in the various printer types. I have tried using HPIJS and gimp-print beta 2.0 but neither seems to work. Print jobs seem to spool and go to the printer but all I get is numerous pages printing out with various characters. Have to stop the printer manually in order to abort the process.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. So far, this is the only negative expeirience I've had with the mac. It rocks in every other way!!!
    Bert

    I don't have an intel mac, so I may not be able to help - hope someone else has tried this...
    (This may have something to do with running Printer Setup via Rosetta, or something like that.)
    I think the "Deskjet 900 Series Gimp-Print" driver should also work - is that the one you tried?
    Have you tried an IP printing protocol? I would try HP Jetdirect protocol first, because that one doesn't require you to search for a queue name.
    I think appletalk should work, but try an IP protocol for troubleshooting.
    The symptom of printing postscript gobbledygook is definitely a driver issue, so make sure when you select model (using hpijs) that it is the model "deskjet 5550 foomatic/hpijs."
    Good luck.

  • Creating Queue, Print Serve, and Printer

    We are using Novell Netware 4.x.
    We have a HPLJ5 SI printer with a CNET Print Server attached via the LP
    cable port then attached to the network.
    When creating the print queue, print server, and printer via the Netware
    Administrator it appears that nothing is seen on the locally attached
    print server.
    I have reviewed the config on the Print Server, all appears correct, but
    when I add the queue, server, and printer, the system does not see the
    prin server?
    I have been recently introduced to Novell, so please bear with me if the
    info to answer is not all here.
    TIA,
    Bill

    We are using IPX/netware.
    The print server is configured with:
    1. The print server name
    2. The Netware server name
    3. NDS Tree and Context
    I have also created the Queue, Print Server, and Printer in the
    organization. The print queue does have the print server and printer in
    the assignmenets area.
    I guess I am a little confused. If the print server is attached to the
    printer what is the relationship between the print server and the queue?
    And what makes this different between that and a print server and queue on
    the server itself?
    I guess you can tell I am a little (or maybe even a lot) lost!
    TIA,
    Bill

  • HT201320 What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    See applenerd504 previous reply:
    These specifications that allow you to send and receive messages on your iPhone. If you are using iCloud Mail, Gmail, or another service listed in the selector in settings, they should be automatically configured. If not, you may need to look up certain numbers for your email service.
    Putting it in slightly different terms:
    If you are using a web-mail system like gmail (with a gmail email address) all the mail sending, receiving and management is done on Google servers. In these cases you will only need to have a working internet connection to be able to log in to the service to access its data. 
    Supplying mail sever names and port numbers should only be needed if you are using a traditional (non-web) email account where you are accessing the mail servers directly. This would be typical for a email account set up by someone like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), in these cases you will have to ask them for the appropriate settings.

  • WRT350N Print Server? Samba Printer Port

    Issue: I have a hard drive attached and shared out on my WRT350N -- works great.. When i browse the share device from a Vista or XP machine i see a directory (shares) called Config and one called Printers and Faxes -- neither of these two i created during the setup of the router.. So -- i double click upon the Printer and Faxes share and it opens up to a blank page -- right clicking gives me the option to add printer and to view server properties.. the properties show a print server with Samba Printer Port.. plus a ADD PRINTER option.. well i get all excited about sharing my network printer on this thing.. only to add printer and get a error about not enough access rights.. nothing i do will grant me access to add a printer.. is this even possible? Is this a flaw in the product? Or a Windows mishap?

    I did get the direct IP pringing to work, and the Samba, but it has to have the username/password in the string:
    smb://userName:password@workgroup/computer/printer

  • HP Q6236A Wireless Print Server and HP Officejet 5610

    Has anyone really successfully installed the HP Print Server successfully?  I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work and cannot.  I have Vista on my desktop where the officejet is installed and I have XP on my laptop.  I have a wireless network installed using a D-Link router that has been working for several years.  I downloaded the latest drivers for the Officejet and ensured that they were installed on both PCs.  I followed the onscreen instructions for installing the Print Server adapter and the PC adapter on both PCs (actually uninstalled and reinstalled several times.
    I got the PC adapter and the printer adapter to work one time on the desktop and then could not connect again.  I downloaded the updated file for the USB disconnect problem with Vista and still no luck.
    Does this HP Printer Adapter really work?  I have 3 friends that also would like to have this feature and all have HP computers and HP printers but we can't get support from HP.  What a shame!  Any suggestions??
    Thank you in advance.

    I’ve installed it successfully and worked fine so far. I share a printer with other computers.
    My wireless access point is Linksys router and configured with WPA2 PSK AES. And the printer is C4280.
    The installations were tough and easier. It depends on the client computer situation.
    Did you try followings?
    Step1. Configure the wireless setting for Q6236.
    1. Uninstall all of existed the printer driver and the related software, for make sure.
    You can do it that the printer installer run again. Then it should show uninstall option instead of the installation and chose it.
    2. Install Q6236 driver with the PC adapter.
    3. Do the advanced setup and setup wireless connection. Please refer the manual.
    4. Confirm network connection to the Q6236 by the utility.
    The utility icon where it is right bottom corner of the desktop gets green mark when the connection is successful.
     Step2. Install the printer device driver.
    1. Remove the PC adapter from the computer. It is not needed any more. It is only for wireless configuration for Q6236 once. After that, you can store it in the attic.  
    2. Disconnect the Q6236 network connection by the utility. This is important.
    3. Install the printer driver by the installer.
    In middle of the installation, the installer should request you the USB connection to the printer. Then connect the Q6236 network connection. Do not connect it before the request.
     For another PC to share the printer with the Q6236.
    Both of the PC and the printer should be online. And do not put the PC adapter on the PC.
    1. Uninstall all of existed the printer driver and the related software
    2. Install Q6236 driver.
    In the middle of the installation, Q6236 installer should find the printer itself and chose it.
    The PC and the Q6236 should be on same IP sub network.
    3. Confirm the network connection to the Q6236 by the utility.
    4. Do above Step2-2.
    If you do not get successful, please tell me which step was problem.

  • Wireless Print Server and Macintosh

    Hello:
    I am using a Linksys Wireless Print Server WPS54GU2. I have a HP LaserJet 1012 printer hooked up to it. i have a iMac and a Dell Windows PC. From the dell Windows PC, the wireless printing is working fine to the laserjet, however i just bought my mac and i am trying to setup the printing but it is not working.
    When i connect the printer directly to the mac through USB, it prints fine. However when I connect to through the print server wirelessly, i can see the printer through Applettalk and it does a test print (but it prints garbage). The problem that i see is that the drivers for HP LaserJet 1012 are not listed under the HP Model. So not sure what i need to do.
    Also, how do i print to a printer which is shared by a Windows machine?
    Has anyone got any direction?
    Thanks

    HP wrote the OS X driver so that it ONLY works with USB. To get network printing, install the hpijs and ESP ghostscript driver "set:"
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
    Add the printer via LPD or IPP (look through server manual), and be sure to enter the server's queue name, L1 or P1.
    Follow this guide to print via Windows:

  • Netgear WGPS606 wireless print server and HP1006

    I have been trying to setup the Netgear WGPS606 wireless print server with my HP1006.  The setup runs fine, finds the printer etc but when it comes to try to print a test page it is "unable to create a print job".  When trying to print from Word etc I get similar message suggesting print test page/turn printer on/reinstall print drivers
    I have spent hours with Netgear support who eventually said it MIGHT not be compatible 
    Before I bin it does anyone have any suggestions?  I read somewhere it might be the USB drivers only work when connected directly to the PC (they're loaded up real time or something?) and to try using a serial driver instead?
    Might that work, and if so does anyone know where I might find a suitable driver?
    Thanks

    I spent a month chasing my print server last year.   Save yourself a month.  The pad will find and print to airprint enabled printers. Period.  It will not find a network print server.
    Here is the list of printers, and some discussion.

  • I have a HP2101nw wireless print server and it will not connect to my router.

    The status of my wireless print server always says it is not connected and idle on both my laptops.  I have tried to connect through the advanced settings but it does not find my router.  I have tried to connect manually but it fails.  Could a firewall be blocking it?  My router works fine on the internet for both laptops.  Any ideas?

    If other wireless devices are connecting OK, you know that the AirPort Express is operating correctly since all devices are receiving the same wireless signal from the Express.
    It's possible, but extremely unlikely that there will be other Samsung phone users on an Apple support forum, so I would suggest that you check with Samsung support to reset the Samsung phone back to default wireless settings so you can set up a new connection again.

  • Printing on an established network with a linksys print server and an HP

    I am really tired of this. After 4 months of searching through discussions, I still cannot get my new Mac Pro to print to my HP printer on a linksys print server. Nothing I've tried through the discussions works. Every other PC in the network can do so. I would call someone or open a chat, but I can't find either of those on the Apple sites either. Someone please help before I give up on Apples!
