Problems printing over network

i have a macbook pro and a macbook air running os x 10.5.8 that i usually print with over my wifi network to a kyocera mita fs-1010 that is connected by usb to a powerbook G4 running 10.3.9. the past few weeks there have been problems.
at first when i printed something it looked like the doc was spooling to the printer but then nothing came out the other end. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and the printer over LPD and IPP but it didn't improve.
i found this kb article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275 and ran the terminal command
cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'
next time i went to install the printer, the fs-1010 was there in the default list, i added it and all worked fine.
until today, the fs-1010 has disappeared from the printer list & i can't add it back & it's not showing up if i run the terminal command.
what may be the problem, and can anyone please help with a fix ?
thanks.

Well there must be something blocking the cups broadcast. Do you have the firewall enabled on any Mac or router? When the browsing is set to Bonjour, these packets will typically be allowed to pass through the network. But since you had to change the broadcast detection method to include CUPS (to support 10.3.9), then maybe this is being blocked between the PowerBook and the other Mac's?
If there is no firewall blocking, then another possible cause could be IP addressing. By default, Mac's on the same subnet as other Mac's will receive information being broadcast about shared printers. However, if the Mac is on a different subnet to the Mac sharing the printer, then the packet will not be seen. To resolve this you can ensure all Mac's are set to the same IP subnet (typically the first three numbers of the IP address).

  • C7280 AIO won't print over network. Was working on WiFi, still works on USB.

    My AIO quit printing over the network after 2 years of service. The USB port still prints OK. My Linksys utility still sees the printer, and I even get ink levels back, but print jobs are hung up in the queue with status 'Error - Printing'.  I tried a wired ethernet connection and got the same result, so it's not a wireless problem, but rather networking in general. The network report indicates everything is normal, but I still can't print. I re-installed the driver but that didn't work.
    I am running Vista, and the printer had been working fine till two weeks ago. My wife would use the USB port to print, and she said she got updates for the printer. HP doesn't distribute f/w updates for the printers themselves, does it? It's as if the networking f/w in the printer got hammered.

    No joy.
    I'm connected with Ethernet port. I have disabled the firewall. The IP address matches on the printer's network status report, and on the Printer dialog box on the computer. I can see that the printer is connected when I run a Linksys utility. I can get the ink levels and I can print an alignment page.
    But I can't print a document. About 60 seconds after I initiate the print job, the status changes from 'Printing' to Error - Printing'.
    I clearly have connectivity, but something is preventing me from sending a document. Any ideas to try, or tests to run?
    I think the same behavior occurs in wireless mode, but I think I have a better chance with a wired connection right now. As I said, USB works OK.
    Thanks,

  • New HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP Will Not Print Over Network

    We have a new HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP. I've assigned it an IP address, static, and it pulls up on it's web interface. I loaded the printer for network printing on our Small Business Server 2003 and installed it on several PCs. No matter what we do, it will not accept a print job, even the test page. Nothing sent to it will print. I've checked print spoolers, drivers, etc. Nothing seems out of place. Any suggestions?

  • Windows 7 64-bit cannot find HP C5280 printer over network

    I've had this working under the same conditions for several years, same computers, same printer, same network configuration.  One day, my computer stopped being able to print to the network computer, coming back with errors.  I uninstalled the printer and when I went to reinstall, it cannot locate the printer at all.  Everyone else on the network can see and use the printer, I can see and access the computer that it's plugged into, but going through the add a printer wizard, even specifically going into that computer manually, it sees no printer.
    I've run through the Microsoft Fixit, no results.  I've run through the HP Network Troubleshooter, no results.  I've rebooted all computers in question, no results.  It's not a networking problem, as I said, because I can fully access every other computer on the network.  The printer has been verified as shared and operable from every other computer on the network.
    Ideas?  Thanks.

    Check that printer sharing is still enabled on the host computer.  If it is, let's delete and re-add the printer on the host PC:
    1. Unplug the printer's USB cable.
    2. Go to Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
    3. Plug the printer USB cable back in and wait for the PC to re-add it.
    4. Once it is re-added, right click the printer and enable/setup Printer Sharing.
    Try again from the ohter PC(s).

  • Photosmart D5160 printing over network

    I have a Photosmart D5160 connected to a Dell desktop PC running Windows 8.1 64bit, and 2 laptops, a Toshiba running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and a newer Sony running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.  
    From the Toshiba I can connect to the printer over my wifi network and print happily.  And this used to be the case for the Sony laptop as well, but recently that has changed.  I can still connect to the printer connected to the Dell over wifi, but I cannot print.  The print jobs get stuck in the Sony's spooler and eventually disappear without printing.  If I connect the printer directly to the Sony it works fine.
    I have tried deleting and reconnecing to the printer over the network.  I have tried running the Printer Install wizard, but that doesn't find the printer if it's not USB connected.
    Comparing the properties of the printer on the Toshiba and the Sony, the driver list is different - partly because the Toshiba is 32 bit and the Sony 64 bit.  But the driver list on the Sony is the same for the printer whether it is USB or network connected.
    Help please!

    Oh, and Print & Scan Doctor only finds the USB connected instance of the printer, not when it is connected over the network

  • HP LJ CP1215 Unable To Print over Network Sharing

    I'm having trouble with my CP1215 printing over the network via microsoft sharing. It was working fine and then one day stopped working. I've already removed it and re-installed it on the remote PC with window XP and removed a re-installed the physical connection and the software and drivers on the host PC with Windows XP, as well. The host computer has no trouble printing anything. The remote computer can't even print a test page. When I send a job to the printer from the remote computer it appears in the print queue on the host computer as "Printing" but hangs there for a minute or two and eventually disappears and nothing happens on the printer itself. Firewalls have all been turned off/disabled during tests, as well. Anyone have any ideas?

    No one has any ideas on this? From looking around in Google a bit, this seems to be common, but no one has had any answer for it yet.
    I just talked to HP.  I had to set the cp1215 as the default printer on my wireless laptop for it to print. 
    As long as it is set to default printer it works fine, but if something else is the default, it goes to the cue and eventually disappears without printing.

  • Problems printing over WiFi on Intel MacMini

    Is anyone having printing problems over Wireless?
    The only way I can print is over Ethernet. For some reason I can only print over wireless to Appletalk Ethernet printers (Magicolor 3300 and LaserJet 4MP). Printing works fine on Powerbook wireless and G4 Mini Wireless, but not on Intel MacMini. The Appletalk seems to switch properly, but I get an error on the Intel MacMini in the print dialog "can't find route to host. Both MacMinis set up with DHCP, both system settings are the same.
    Also the print Dialog on the Magicolor Printer is missing a selection "Printing Features" although same driver is installed on both machines. Could there be some issues with printing on the Intel MacMini ???
    MacMini   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    This seems to be a recurring problem with the Intel Macs. MBP owners are having the same issue. It think it must be an OS bug.

  • 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

    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.

  • Can't connect to my printer over network anymore

    We upgraded to ox10.9 and since then we can't connect to the brother laser printer connected to our other computer. I went to brother's web site and downloaded the newest driver and now when I click on "add printer" it's not even there. I don't know what to do. I reset my printers and it's still not showing up... only if I connect it via a USB. Before 10.9 I could connect to the printer over bonjour because I was connected on my other lap top..
    any ideas?

    I figured it out. I had to create a new location on both the Powerbook and G5 and click "Apply Now". Then the PB showed up as a server on the G5.

  • Problems printing over wireless network

    i gave my parents a macboook pro and wireless router, and i also gave them my old g4 tower. i set the g4 up to print via usb connection to the hp 2410 all-in-one printer....no problems there. the g4 is also connected to the network via ethernet (cable modem).
    then i set up the router so the MBP could connect to the internet...no problems there. wireless router connected to the cavle modem.
    then i tried to print wirelessly from the MBP to the printer....no luck. printer sharing is on and drivers are installed, but the MBP isnt recognizing a printer on the network. any help??

    "drivers are installed"
    Did you check the printer's manufacturer site to confirm the drivers are updated? Besides my printer's own drivers I also use Gimp drivers which can be found HERE.
    Did you repair permissions & then restar your comoputer?
    On all your computers using the printer, check System Preferences>Sharing>Services
    Make sure +Printer Sharing+ is ON.
    Your system info confirms you are only using OS 10.6. Update your OS & check Software Update to install all the other updates that goes along w/it.

  • Problems printing over the network?

    Hello All,
    I recently purchased a new MAC and I am trying to get my printer configured. I have a Canon IP6600D printer connected to a Linksys Wireless G Print Server. I downloaded the appropriate software from Canon to install my printer, which works when I have it connected via USB. However, when I try to install the printer as a network printer the MAC does not recognize the printer as a valid device. I try to add the printer as a Generic PostScript Printer; however, it still doesn't print at all.
    I've tried enabling AppleTalk on the wireless print server, but still I get nothing. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much!!!

    Hello Phil,
    The Canon driver cannot be used this way. It is designed for USB connection only. To get the iP6600D working for your environment, you need a product like Printfab. Check out their web site (www.printfab.net)

    Paul

  • Problem printing to networked printer

    I have a strange printing problem:
    13" unibody MacBook running OS X 10.6.3
    Dell dimension desktop PC running Win XP Home Edition (SP3)
    Wireless LAN connecting the two computers above via Time Capsule wireless base station.
    Canon Pixma MP540 printer connected to PC via USB.
    Printer set up on PC as shared and visible to MacBook over wireless LAN.
    Printing from PC to printer OK.
    Printing from MacBook to printer places job in print queue on PC but status never changes from 'spooling' and print job never completes.
    If I connect the printer directly to the MacBook via USB it prints with no problems. I can also then see the printer as a network printer from the PC and successfully print to it from there.
    Can anyone suggest why the job never completes when the printer is attached to the PC?
    Thanks, Ian

    I'm having the exact same problem! It's so annoying

  • Can Printer over network but can't scan over network with Officejet 6500 E710n

    Got an odd problem... I can print all day via my wireless network, I can even ping my printer's IP with no issues.
    I can't scan at all, it keeps giving me connection related error messages (Scanner Unreachable, etc). I checked the "Update IP Address" tool and the IP address was correct. So I figured I would install on a different computer.
    I installed using the software from this website (I have never installed this HP printer on this computer, I always did eprinting from this computer), it worked perfectly, it found the printer almost instantly. Installation worked perfect with no issues, errors, etc.
    Printed the test page perfectly but I still can't scan over the network, I tried both clicking on "HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z" and clicking on both "Scan a document or photo" and "Activate Scan to Computer" and also I get a connection error if I try the "HP Scan" software.
    I ran the "HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility" but it can't find my printer (odd that it found it to install the software and I can print/ping it all day).
     I also ran the "HP Scan Diagnostic Utility 4.2" and it DID find the printer... It also got past the "Connectivity" and "Device Manager" steps and put a check next to them.
    It then failed on the "Windows (WIA) Scan" step. I skip it and it fails on the "HP Twian Scan" after giving me a connection related error message. It will not let me continue the test.
    I have restarted both computers and printer multiple times. I am running Windows 7 on my laptop and Windows XP on my desktop.

    I suggest uninstalling the full feature software from both PCs and re-installing and configuring the software on both.
    Are you using the HP Solution center to scan? It is in Dutch, but the images are the same as what you should see in a correctly installed full feature software package.

  • Can print over network, but scan over network doesn't work

    Scanner communication cannot be established from Windows 7 PC to 1536dnf MP.
    Printing from that computer is fine.  scanning from other computers over the network is fine also.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled HP software, but that didn't fix the issue.
    Scanning worked from this PC previously, but recent networking changes required I rediscover printer via a fresh install.
    With my old router, the HP software would auto-discover the printer on the network, with the new network, that fails, and I have to provide a specific IP address to search, which then succeeds.
    I am trying to understand where communication between win 7 PC and scanner might be misconfigured, when same PC communicates to the printer in the same MFP works fine.

  • Can't print over network get message "Error Printing" in message Queue

    Hi,
    I have 3 machines, xp, vista and windows 7.  I have 2 printers that are configured to print through the network
    1. OfficeJet Pro L7680
    2. PhotoSmart C7180
    For all 3 computers I can go to the web configurations for the printers (so I know the network settings are correct).  Windows finds the printer and properly installs the drivers using the TCP/IP network port.
    I can only print to the PhotoSmart from the Vista computer.  I can't print from the XP or Windows 7 machine, I can't printer to the OfficeJet Pro from any computer.
    Both printers work on all computers via USB port.
    when I try to print a test page the job stays in the print queue and gets a message "Error Printing".
    The funny part is that the computer can communicate with the printers and get the ink levels no problem.
    I have been banging my head on the wall and cannot figure it out.
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ara

    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,
    Ara
