Printing on Network with C4780, Mac OS 10.6.7 Prints eventually but may take 30 min to complete.

I am using am apple router. If I connect the printer via USB it prints fast. On a network connection the printer stops repeatedly depending on the information to be printed. A simple paragraph with 4 or 5 lines is slow but reasonable.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 10.0.1.2 to .200.  Let's select 10.0.1.220 for your printer.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Questions about setting up my network with my Mac Pro?

    I'm trying to set up my network with my Mac Pro. I have two other roommates that need internet and a printer that we all need to access. The modem is with my Mac Pro in room 1, the printer is with another PC in room 2, and another PC with wifi is in room 3. What is the best way to connect all these.
    My idea was to install an Airport card in my Mac Pro, then add an Airport Express station w/airtunes to room 2, to connect the PC and printer. That way, room 3 can access with wifi, and room 2 can physically plug into the Airport Express station. Problem with that is that the Airport Express Card must be professionally installed in my Mac Pro and that $80+ charge on top of the Airport Express and Aiport Card itself, turns this into a $200+ endeavor.
    I also have a wireless Linksys router and Linksys WiFi USB receiver. Anybody have any other ideas?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Your plan wouldn't work anyway. The Mac Pro can not create a WDS compatible wireless network. Therefore the AirPort Express (AX) can not use WDS to wirelessly join the network. Therefore the AX's Ethernet port will not be activated.
    The best solution is to buy an inexpensive wireless router [or the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)]. Connect the Mac Pro via Ethernet to the router. Add a wireless adapter to the PC in room 2. Therefore the PCs will connect wirelessly while the Mac Pro connects via Ethernet.

  • Problem staying connected to my Wireless Network with my HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a

    I just bought a new HP wireless printer replacing my old HP wireless printer which the wireless part worked fine, but the printing died.
    New printer HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a. I have installed and re-installed the software and drivers but can't get my printer to stay connected to my laptop. I have a Linksys "WRT54GL router but have the printer set with a static IP address. When I run tests on the computer and printer everything says it is fine. But every 30 seconds or so.. my printer goes offline on my computer and is especially noticeable when I am using the HP Solution center because it will keep blinking in the windows bar. I have talked to 4 technicians but no one can figure out what the problem is. They keep saying that it is on my end, but the old printer which was also an HP (Wireless 6150) never had any problems and I have not changed anything in my routing. Is anyone else having this kind of problem and has found a successful solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    My computer is running Windows XP SP3
    Currently my router has WEP encryption, but I tried them all just to see if that had anything to do with it. (WEP works best for me since I have some devices which can only use WEP to communicate).
    Thanks.

  • Is there a way I get can my Dell V305 printer to work with my Mac?

    I "inherited" my son's Mac Book Pro but when I tried to hook it up to our printer, Dell V305, it wouldn't work.  I tried downloading the software from the Dell site, since we don't have the disks, but it wouldn't work.  Is there a way I can get our printer to work with the Mac?

    I would start by contacting Dell's tech support to determine if the printer is compatible. They may then be able to suggest what printer driver to use on the Mac.

  • Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?

    Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?
    I want to be able to create a document on my computer and save it on both my MacBook Pro and another MacBook. Also, I want to be able to open documents saved only on the MacBook on my MacBook Pro. Is that possible on the same wirelss?
    Thank you!

    You would not want to use ad hoc networking if you also need to access the internet. I'm not even sure it is possible.
    How are you accessing the internet from these Macs now? If you have a wifi (or wired) network that you both access in your work location, you should be able to use File Sharing across that network, so you shouldn't need the ad hoc network.
    Some general observations:
    You'll need a plan for how to keep straight which Mac holds the most current version of a file. That should probably be to keep each file in only one place (your Mac, the other Mac, a local file server, a cloud server). Even in our home, with one person doing most of the file accessing, I find a central location works best for this; in my case, that's a desktop system that stays on all the time, but a disk attached to my AirPort Extreme base station, a Time Capsule, or a NAS would serve.
    If you make use of the portability of the MacBook[Pro]s to work in different locations, you'll also need a plan that includes that working away from the main work location. If you often work with common files while away from your main work location, a cloud solution may be best even with just two of you. Depending on the size of your files, one of the free cloud solutions may suffice; most offer paid expansion as your needs grow.

Printer is working for both ciompueters when connected directly to the PowerBook (OSX 10.4). It´s also possible to print from both computers if the Printer is connected to an Airport, but doesnt print at the momento the printer is connected to the iMac with OSX 10.5 running. Printer is shown on both computers no matter where the printer is connected. Drivers are new on both computers. The printer ist en EPSON Stylus Photo R300

  • Problem printing thru network with new 8500A all-in-one

    I installed a new Officejet pro 8500a plus on my network.  I have 3 computers on the network set up this way:  DSL modum connected to Linksys router, all 3 computers connected to the router, PRINTER is connected to main COMPUTER and other 2 computers print through the main computer.
    I installed the printer sucessfully and ran the HP network wizard following the dialogs for connecting through another computer.  I can print, and fax fine from the main computer but not from the other computers.  I configured the printer as "shared" on the main computer and the other computers recognize the printer and set it as the default printer.  But when I try to print form the other computers nothing happens.  When I go into control panel - printers - properties - ports on the main computer, the printer is listed as USB002 but when I click on "configure" I get "An error occured during port configuration.  This opperation is not supported".
    Main computer is running Windows Vista with current updates
    Other computers are running Windows XP SP2 with current updates.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Jim

    View Solution.

    Why are you using Windows print sharing with your nice network printer? This mode only supports printing, not scannning or faxing. The better way to do this is to attach the printer to your router with Ethernet or wirelessly so that all PCs (regardless of how they connect) can use all of it's features. Disconnect the USB cable and run the Wireless Setup Wizard (if you want to connect it wirelessly, otherwise, plug the Ethernet cable in to the printer and router) from the front of the printer (Setup >Network menu), then run the HP software to "Add a Device" on each PC.

  • I have Trouble Connecting To WiFi Network with My Mac, while the rest of the technology connects to it perfectly...

    I have used my Mac for almost a year now, and I've always had no problem connecting to WiFi, but today - suddenly I've lost the connection and now I can't see the WiFi Network in the list... I have 2 WiFi's connected together at home - TP Link and Netgear...
    The internet still works on a PC which is connected through Ethernet, and the Mac itself works when it's connected through Ethernet... The first thought I had was the problem with WiFi settings, but my IPhone can connect to internet and work perfectly... So next thought was that it was a problem with my mac, but my dad has the same problem with his Mac (he also used this WiFi Network fine before)... So any thoughts?

  • Macbook Pro 2011 not printing on network with canon pixma iP4500

    Hi
    I am not able to print satisfactorily from my 15" MacBook Pro 2011 to my QNAP TS439 server that has my Pixma iP4500 installed.  I contacted apple support and after 45 minutes the operative gave up and said it was a QNAP problem.  I am fairly sure it is not, so please read on...
    Here is what happens.  I ( myself and Apple) select the correct printer from the menu on my MacBook Pro with the correct path and printer on the server using Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  As soon as I go to print something  it says it is waiting for 10 seconds, very quickly it gets extended out past 30 seconds, but never prints.
    I have tried another driver called the Canon Pixma iP4500 Gutenprint v 5.2.3.  This  will only print in black text.  If I try to print colours, I get a very wishy washy pastel effect that just about shows that there might be some colours there.  This is hopeless and most unsatisfactory.
    In my opinion, this points the finger at Canon's printer driver that has been supplied to Apple, because the printer driver for Windows 7 works perfectly from the Windows 7 x64 PC.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Just a quick reply for others in case it helps....
    First you have to install the Canon drivers for Yosemite from Canon Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X.
    Then since I had reset my Canon MP620 network settings, I had to start from scratch. I connected the printer to my new computer (with Yosemite) via USB and then launched the Canon IJ Network Tool.app (downloaded from the Canon web site) and it found the printer. However it hung on the last step "Searching for printers via access point...". At that point (after waiting a minute for it to give up), I had to read the IP from the Canon printer and enter it by hand in the Network Tool dialog.
    I then unplugged the USB cable, and went to the Printers and Scanners system preference panel. After a few minutes, the printer showed up and I was able to set it up.
    I then tried to set up the printer on a 2nd computer, running Mavericks. The Canon printer would not show up in the Printers and Scanners system preference panel, but after I launched Canon IJ Network Tool.app on that computer, the printer did show up and I could set it up there as well. This is all much more convenient than using a USB cable and sharing the printer, but, dang, is it complicated!

  • TS3147 Cannot print on network with canon LBP 7660 . Mavericks 10.9.2

    Hello since Mavericks Upgrade, no IP print capabilities with Canon LBP 7660 cdn.
    Every thing work fine before.
    Re installing and upgrading with last drivers on Canon Site change nothing. Re-initialize print system several times...
    Nothing works.
    It seems the Printer is seeing busy by the mac.
    PC on Vista do the job
    Apple remains me the the earliest Windows....
    What can I do to made the printer work properly ??

    It sounds like you created the printer using the wrong protocol. When adding an IP printer on the Mac, IPP is the default protocol set, however this protocol is not compatible with the Canon UFR2 driver. So remove the printer from Printers & Scanners and add again, this time ensure you select either Line Printer Daemon-LPD or HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol.

  • Can't print over network with WinXP.

    I have a HP LaserJet M1120 MPF and it's connected to a Windows XP desktop via USB. My MacBook uses the shared internet connection on the desktop through a wireless router, but I cannot set up the printer. I can see it, when I go to add a new printer, but I can't find the driver for it in the drivers list. Please, help.

    I think I figured it out after torchering my self for weeks.
    I had my computers and printers hooked up directly or wireless through a linksys WRT610N router.  I decided to add a linksys switch right after the router and plugged the computer and printers in through the switch and now it works.
    This is very strange, there must be somekind of incompatibility with the WRT610N router that is causing the problem, it works but refused to print for some reason.  I tried changing settings in the router but haven't got it to work.
    Any clues on what it could have been with the router?
    Thanks,
