Trying to print on a DNS 323 printer server (D-Link NAS Box).

Hi,
I have a Macbook with Snow Leopard and I am trying to print over a DNS 323 printer server (D-Link NAS Box) in a (Windows based) home network. The printer is a Canon MP190 and I have the latest driver. Whenever I try to set it up in system preferences it does recognise the printer but seems to be unable to connect to it when I try to print.
Also, every time I try to print the connection to the server is lost (as in I cannot access the files on it in the finder).
My flat mate tried printing over the server with windows 7 and it worked immediately.
Any help would be very welcome!
PS: I've tried Guten-print but the MP190 is the one printer that they don't support...

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
The Canon driver for Mac OS X cannot be used when you have the printer connected to a print server other than an Airport device. For these types of connections, you need to use a CUPS based printer driver like those offered through Gutenprint or PrintFab.
Since the MP190 is not yet supported by Gutenprint, you could look at using PrintFab, however you will need to buy this software after your trial period. Or you could wait until the next version of Gutenprint is available - maybe this version will support your model.

  • Trying to network my hp deskjet 6940 printer via a new win 7 64 pc. the printer shows as "offline"

    I am trying to network my hp deskjet 6940 printer via a new win 7 64 pc.  The printer is visible but shows as "offline" and will not respond.
    Can the  hp deskjet 6940 printer operate over a lan using a win 7 64 pc?
    Thanks!

    Borneodiver,
    Since the site says the driver is already in Windows 7, then a different method of adding the printer will need to be performed to get the driver from Windows Update.
    First, uninstall the printer from the Windows 7 system.
    1.  go to devices and printers and select Add Printer at the top.
    2.  Select Add a local printer.
    3.  Create a new port with port type Local Port.
    4.  The port name will indicate where the printer is located.  The format will be \\<computer name>\<printer share name>.  Leave out the < > symbols.  For me, this would be \\mycomputer\printer.
    5.  The next screen will show a list of various printers.  Click the Windows Update button to update the list to the most current.  
    6.  Select your model printer from the list.
    The rest of the prompts should continue from there without any issue.  I do not have a photosmart 7760 to get the rest of the prompts from there, but it should work after these steps are completed on the Windows 7 system.
    If the printer was added using the network option, then it won't work on Windows 7 and there won't be an option for the driver since a network driver doesn't really exist for the printer since it is not natively networked.  
    Selecting the network option is usually selected in this process and it appears to not work with printers that are shared from a computer.  This process tricks the Windows 7 system into running the printer as if it was actually connected to the printer, but the port name directs it to the host computer.
    Let me know what happens.
    I did find these steps here in jimbo45's post.  I did perform the steps with a different computer and printer successfully, but it should work in this scenario as well.

  • Trying to add a DELL (Lexmark) V715w printer to my MacBook Pro

    Purchased a DELL branded Lexmark V715w AIO printer a month or so back.  I was able to install it to my Windows based home system.  When I try and add it to my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, I cannot get it to print at all.  It will show up in the print and scan Queue fine, but will never print anything when a document or picture is sent to it.
    I have tried multiple versions of both DELL and Lexmark drivers, updated the firmware, downloaded the newest MAC Lion drivers to no avail.  I like this printer, and hope that someone can assist me in getting it setup for use.
    When I try and complete teh Lexmark Wireless assistant, it hangs at the Connect USB cable screen and never allows the "Continue" button to be selected (stays grayed out), I found a fix for this on the windows side, but nothing for us MAC users.
    Any assistantance would be greatly appreciated, starting to get tired of saving to a UB Stick and getting on the Windows machine to print items.
    Thanks

    There is a flaw in OS X Lion.
    From this article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
    If the printer is a wireless capable printer and it is connecting to a wireless network, make sure it is properly connected to the wireless network first. The printer may have to be connected to the Mac initially via USB.
    As stated in that article the printer may need to be connect directly to the Mac Via USB during the initial setup.
    What a joke.
    Good luck.
    I have an idea. Sell the Mac, don't look back and by a Windows notebook that actually is easier to use.

    The iPad does not support Bluetooth Printers.    Headsets, Speakers, Keyboards, Hands Free Devices, In car Madia centers but not Printers.
    To use a printer it must be AirPrint Compatible and be on the same Wifi network as the iPad.

    You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

    Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
    If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

  • Trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable

    I am trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 to be able to use the airprint feature but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable. I have tried restarting the macbook, turning on and off the printer, repairing permissions, deleting and redownloading the update what else can I do? The prinyrt works fine otherwise...

    If there are no drivers for Yosemite you might be in trouble.. HP will tend not to support printers once they are EOL.
    Getting it running over wireless rather than USB might be worthwhile.
    Can’t connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    Has the printer been working and now failed after update.. what update caused the failure if that is the problem??

  • Error 9672 when trying to "re-add" HP Deskjet 3900 printer

    Hi, I've seen the discussion about the Error 9672. But the answers don't really help. I get the same errormessage when trying to re-add the HP 3900 deskjet printer that I had to delete because it was not working properly. Now I just can't add it again... I can find it as an available Bonjour printer. But what can I do next? I haven't really been able to find out if this is a commonly known Apple bug, or if it is a bug that HP should be working to fix. Can anyone help? The printer works fine when connected directly via USB by the way.
    iBook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I found the same thing out yesterday and did the same solution.
    One issue should be noted. The quality of the print is much worse since we are not using the correct print driver. Works fine for standard unimportant text printing, but really can't be used for printing photos.
    Connect the printer directly to the computer USB and print a photograph using the real print driver, then connect wirelessly using the above method and print the same photo. The difference is dramatic.
    It also seems to overuse black ink when hooked up through the Airport, and the printer light blinks for a while after printing is done.
    Anyway, I plan on leaving it hooked up wirelessly for convenience sake, but when good quality is needed I will attach it directly to the USB port.
    You can verify my findings and let others know if you find the same thing I found.
    Good luck, and lets hope there are more compatible printers available in the future.

  • Trying to add HP Officejet K5400 network printer

    Adding the printer via cups (1.4.2) simply places a print job in the queue and does not print. The message in cups for the print job says "processing since ... " followed by the time the print job was created.
    If I try to install the printer via hp-setup the printer is detected but at the end of the setup an error message appears that states: "Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again." Not sure on how to restart cups manually but restarting the PC produces te same results.
    Thanks for any help

    Oops! Okay I added myself to lp group, then had to add to sys group, did that and re-ran hp-setup, added printer and printed test page successfully (this is via USB connection of course). I was trying to get it to work wirelessly but it didn't show up in hp-wificonfig, but it normally is plugged into an XP machine which I was trying to connect to via SAMBA to use it as shared. Well I added again to CUPS and it works!
    Question, though: How can I see some kind of status or something in GUI that would show progress for printing, or any error that occurred, etc.? This I mean for printing over SAMBA with CUPS. I opened the hp-systray app and it only will show the printer that I added via USB, I can't get it to show the one I added via CUPS over SAMBA. Thanks for all your help, greatly appreciated!!
