Unable to Print to Shared Printer

Running 10.6.4 on both my Mac Pro & my Macbook Pro. Both computers on an ethernet LAN through Airport Extreme.
HP Laserjet 4000 networked via LAN (Ethernet) & I can print to it from both computers.
Epson Stylus Photo R320 connected to Mac Pro via USB hub. Set up as Shared Printer under Print & Fax and Sharing in System Preferences.
Cannot print to the Epson from the Mac Book Pro. Page is sent to the Epson but the printer will not connect.
Appreciate any suggestions!
Many thanks.
...John

Both computers are up & running.
The Epson is connected (USB) directly to the Mac Pro.
On the Mac Pro, I have turned on Printer Sharing (Sharing Panel of System Preferences) followed by turning on the check box for the Epson.
I then went to the Print & Fax Panel & turned on the “Share this Printer” checkbox for the Epson.
I am attempting to print a document on the MB Pro to the Epson printer.
The Epson shows up in the list of printers.
On clicking on the PRINT box, the Epson Printer icon appears in the dock (bouncing) but the document is noted to be “On Hold (Authentication Required)”
I have gone back to the Sys Preferences, repeated the above steps, restarted both computers.
The problem remains.
Hope you can help!

Unable to print to Canon iR-Adv C5045 from MacBook Pro that is connected to Windows computer and shared on the network

I am unable to print to a Canon iR-Adv C5045 from a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) that is connected to Windows NT computer and shared on the company network. I am connected to the network by ethernet.
I was able to add the printer manually by going to Advanced, Windows printer via spoolss, smb://computer name/printer name and used the Canon iR-ADV C5045/5051 driver.
When I print it appears to be printing but nothing comes out. I checked the completed jobs from the Print Queue and the job is listed. Checked the print log on the printer and it isn't listed. Is there a different driver I should be using for this configuration?

You may not have a choice as to what driver you can use. If the ADV C5045 only has the default UFR2 printer kit, then you will have to use the UFR2 driver - which is what you are using now. If you can access the copier, press the Counter Check button on the control panel. Then on the display you will see an entry labelled Check Device Configuration. Select this and scroll down through the pages. You are looking for an entry called PS. If you see it then the Canon does have the optional Postscript printer kit enabled and this will let you use an alternate driver. One suggestion would be to create the printer again using the same setting that you have done already but this time select the Generic Postscript driver included with the OS rather than use the Canon driver. This will help to determine if the driver is the cause.
If there is no PS option you will have to use the UFR2 driver and this could be the problem, as the Canon drivers don't always work well on a Mac via a Windows share. As a test, are you able to create a print queue directly to the Canon rather than via the Windows share? If you can, then this will let you check if the driver currently installed will work, as there can be settings on the copier that can block/stop you from printing. Assuming that you can print to the Canon with a direct connection from the Mac, then we can work on getting the printing via the shared queue. But if it doesn't print directly from the Mac, then it confirms that it may not be the server and more to do with the copier.

Unable to print to Adobe printer in any program including Office 2010

My sustem is a Windows 7 64 bit. I have Office 2010 installed as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.3. I am unable to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If I select it in Notepad it is Greyed out. If I select it in an Office product like Word or Excel it shows that it is READY. However if I select it so I can print to PDF I get an error message "Word cannot print. There is no printer installed."
If I got to Devices and Printers Adobe PDF is listed. If I right click on it and select "Printing Preferences" I get an error message "Operation could not be completed."
If I select Printer Properties I get an error message "The "Adobe PDF Converter" printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
If I click YES a wizard pops up, the Add Printer Driver Wizard. I select Next, choose either any of the Adobe PDF Converter Versions or HAVE DISK, the NEXT. If I select have disk I go to the proper place "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" and select the file AdobePDF.inf. I then select the top Adobe PDF Converter and select Next. It says You have successfully completed the Add Printer Driver Wizard. You are about to add "Adobe PDF Converter, x64, Type - User Mode. I click Finish and get another error.
This error says "Unable to install Adobe PDF Converter, Type - User Mode, x64 driver. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)." I select OK and Adobe PDF Properties pops up. It has tabs like General, Sharing, Ports, Advanced, Color Management & Security. I can click on any of them and make any changes but once I click on OK and close the window and then Right Click on Adobe PDF there is no change to my results. I still get all of the above errors.
I have tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then selecting in Programs & Featues (Old ADD/REMOVE) the Adobe Acrobat X Pro item and right clicking on it and the selecting Change. It goes through almost a reinstall, it adds the Adobe Printer back but NO CHANGE. I still can't print to Adobe PDF.
Can someone help?

Can you try 'Print as Image' (Advanced button on Print panel).

Unable to print to USB printer over the network

Hi all,
I have an iMac and an Macbook Air, both running 10.6.4, and I've got an HP LaserJet 1200 printer connected to the iMac by USB. Both machines are on my home wireless network (Linksys, FWIW).
I seem to be unable to print to the LaserJet over the network from my Air. I've tried all manner of permutations of printer setup on the Air: IPP/LPD/HP JetDirect; entering the hostname (*.local) and the IP address of the host; leaving the queue blank and not; and leaving "Print Using" as generic vs selecting the LaserJet drivers. The printers appear in the "Default" Add Printer menu as Bonjour Shared, but this doesn't seem to work either.
Following other threads, I've tooled around with CUPS (resetting the configuration file, etc.), with no success. The other threads I've found on the subject seem to be more specifically addressed to folks trying to use an AirPort.
Any suggestions for what to try next?

In that case, let me elaborate on what happens when I try to set up the printer via Bonjour, in case there are any clues in the behavior that I'm seeing. The printer seems to appear twice in the "Default" pane, with Kind as 'Bonjour Shared' and Printer Names as follows:
HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname)
HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname) @ (hostname)
Selecting the first, it displays "Gathering printer information..." for a few minutes, then strikes out, suggesting Generic PostScript Printer rather than the correct driver. Whether I stick with that or select the correct driver manually and then try to print, it hangs on 'Copying print data..." (in the print queue).
Selecting the second, it gathers printer information only for a second or two before settling on Generic PostScript Printer. If I stick with Generic PostScript Printer, it hangs on 'Connected to printer...' but if I select the correct driver, it hangs on 'Copying print data...' again.

Unable to print to printer via WIFI

Hey Guys,
Did a search and read heaps of topics but didn’t find the situation that I have – so I hope one or more of you can help.
HP PC connected in a room about 3m away via Ethernet to Thompson TG782T. HP CM1312 laser connected to the HP PC via USB. Imac connected via WIFI. The Imac replaced an old Dell system also connected by WIFI. The Dell on windows XP could print via WIFI to the printer no problems.
Unable to print via Imac. HP PC running Vista Home premium. Printer sharing is enabled. Unable to even see the CM1312 in the Imac systems preferences.
Any ideas welcomed – thanks for your time..

The following is from Mac Help in the Finder's Help menu. Go to Mac Help/Index/P/Printers, adding and removing/Adding a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB/CIFS
You can print to a printer connected to a Windows computer if it supports SMB/CIFS. The printer’s owner must set it up to be shared and use only the following characters in the name of the printer and computer: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, !, $, *, (, ), _, +, -, ‘, and . (period).
+To add an SMB/CIFS printer to your list of available printers, you need to know the printer’s workgroup name and (if necessary) the user name and password.+
+*To add a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB/CIFS:*+
+1. Select the printer from the browser.+
+a. If prompted, enter the user name and password for the printer.+
+2. Choose the item appropriate for your printer from the Print Using pop-up menu.+

Based on the screen grab your IT wants you to use Windows SMB to connect to the shared printer. As to why they needed to do this via the Advanced tab is confusing, as there is nothing in the queue syntax that would require this method, as the Windows tab provided in the Add Printer browser would achieve the same result.
As for losing the settings, since you are already in the Advanced Add Printer pane, by then selecting the IP > LPD pane you will lose the settings that you have just entered into Advanced pane.
Note that with what they have supplied you, there may be an issue with authentication to the Windows server. Normally when you use the Windows tab to add the printer and browse through the workgroup/domain and then select the server sharing the printer, you get prompted to authenticate. This requires you to enter a Windows user name and password. The same thing would have happened in 10.6. But with Lion it now seems that you don't need to add the domain name prefix to the Windows user name. Doing so causes an connection error.

Unable to print multiple line items in Z-SAP SCRIPT

Hi ALL,
We have a scenario where in we are calling the Driver program (RFKORD50) for Document Extract(F.64), Where in we have attached the Z-Script to the program(RFKORD50),
Unable to print multiple items.
1) Checked with all the elements in STD program for printing multiple items in main window but unable to get all the items we are able to fetch only 1 item .
(&BSEG-BUZEI&,,     &BSEG-SGTXT&,,,,&BSEG-DMBTR&)
2) I have also tried with external subroutine but it also didnot work.it is fetching the latest value.
Ex: if we have 3 items say 1,2,3 first 2 items are not getting fetched it is taking 3rd item and printing it straight away(Problem is it is not going to script for fetching the first item).
see the perform which i have used
/: PERFORM ITEMS IN PROGRAM ZTFI_ZNV20296
/:USING &BSEG-BUKRS&
/:USING &BKPF-BELNR&
/:USING &BSEG-GJAHR&
/:CHANGING &V_BUZEI&
/:CHANGING &V_SGTXT&
/:CHANGING &V_DMBTR&
/: ENDPERFORM
IL &V_BUZEI&,,     &V_SGTXT&,,,,&V_DMBTR&
Please suggest me whetther we can call write_form from external subroutine. or is there any loop commands in SAP SCRIPT Form.
Regards,
Jana

Hi!
The LOOP is always within the printer program. In this case also.
Just check out the RFKORI35 include, the LOOP begins in the 215th line (in 4.6C).
SORT HBSEG BY BUKRS SORTP1 SORTP2 SORTP3 SORTP4 SORTP5
                      BELNR GJAHR BUZEI.
        LOOP AT HBSEG.
*         WHERE BUKRS = SAVE_BUKRS.
          SAVE_BUKRS = HBSEG-BUKRS.
          IF ( HBSEG-KUNNR = SAVE_KUNNR
          AND   NOT SAVE_KUNNR IS INITIAL )
          OR ( HBSEG-LIFNR = SAVE_LIFNR
          AND   NOT SAVE_LIFNR IS INITIAL ).
            CLEAR RF140-ELEMENT.
            RF140-ELEMENT = '521'.
            CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
                     EXPORTING WINDOW    = 'MAIN'
                                ELEMENT   = '521'
                     EXCEPTIONS WINDOW    = 1
                                ELEMENT   = 2.
You might try out to write your code within the 521 elemnt in the sapscript.

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother Printer

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother MFC-6490CW all in one. The photos appear to be in grayscale. I have checked the printer settings, but for some reason I am not able to access the color management on my printer from printer set up. It only gives me the standard option. I have spent hours checking Bother's website and Apple's and I am not able to come up with a valid answer. I know that the color print works. If I print something from the internet of from outlook it will print in color. I know all of my cartridges are in working order, I have cleaned the print head on my Brother, but I am still not able to print photos in color!!!
What puzzles me the most is why I am unable to really access the color management menu on my printer? It just does not come up. I have the option from paper handling to print photos, but this has nothing to do with the quality. I have also tried printing the photo from an Adobe PDF file and I still have the same problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

In the Print dialogue box click on the little triangle to the right of the name of the printer. That will expand the dialogue box.

PDF: Unable to print a document as PDF from APEX when using the BI Publishe

Hi,
From an APEX application, I am unable to print a document in a PDF format when using the Oracle BI Publisher.\
Here is the configuration:
1) Server A is W2K3 and hosts the Oracle BI Publisher server, with IP address ip01.
2) Server B is a OEL5.2 and hosts the database server of the APEX application, with IP address ip02.
3) Machine C is a W7 desktop from which through an URL both the APEX applicationn and the BI server are accessed, with IP address ip03.
4) The APEX application is configured with the following to use the Oracle BI Publisher:
- Printer server: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
- Printer server protocol: HTTP
- Printer server host address: ip01
- Printer server port: 9704
- Printer server script: /xmlpserver/convert
- Network services are enabled (at least I did get any warning/error message)
From C, I access the the APEX application through its URL, if I try to download a page by selecting PDF in the download section of the interative report section for that page, I am unable to open if and get the error:
<file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Yet, still from C, I am able to open any other PDF document.
The same way, still from C, acessing the APEX application through its URL, I have a query report defined with a PDF output format. Then, when I test the report (Test Report in the Report query) for that query, I get the error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
At first sight this could be a wong entry in the priinter configuration for APEX. But with this address, through the URL I can log in to the Oracle BI Publisher server.
Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for any tips.

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…
