Unable to use 1610xi as network printer

I have a small home network and I'm hoping I can get a little help with this issue. I recently got a Buffalo 1.0TB NAS and I have the printer connected directly to the NAS to utilize the print server. One Desktop, connected directly to the router, running WIN 7 recognizes and prints to the printer with no issue. The other desktop running WIN XP and wireless cannot connect directly to the Print Server, I get an error message indicating the print server does not have the correct driver for the printer.
What is particularly interesting is I can map to the WIN 7 desktop and use the printer when its shared via that computer. Buffalo Tec Support indicates the issue may be that XP has no drivers for this printer to translate between XP and Linux.
Has anyone else had this issue, or can anyone lend some assistance in solving the issue?
One other thing, the Issue remains with firewall enabled and disabled.
Thanks!

How to set HP OfficeJet 4500 used as a network printer to print in black not color as a default.

I have my HP officejet printer set as a network printer but it prints color when I had initially set it for B&W as my default during set-up
How do I set my HP OfficeJet 4500 used as a network printer to print in black not color as the default.
Thanks,
Bob

OK, go to Start > Control Panel > Printers. Right click the printer in question and choose Printing Preferences. Set it the way you want, then click OK.
That should set the defaults for all programs using the printer.

HT4356 Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?

Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?
or must the printer I want to use also have a wifi connection ?
I have a home network using ethernet connected devices to a router, also attached to th erouter is a WiFi unit. We are using the WiFi unit to connect to the network and hence to the big wide WWW. We now want to print from our IPads pereferable to our netowk connected HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a series. (not the wireless model).
I was using the HP ePrint app to print from the Ipad, but I do not fully understand how this works. It seems that you must use the app to do the printing which is fine for basic email and photos, but I can not access the drawing package I have, and want to print from it. Please what is it that I do not understand.

You must use an airprint printer directly connected to wifi through it's own wifi card.

HELP - IM UNABLE TO USE MY MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION

guys i need your help. Im unabble to use my mobile network connection in spite of all the directives given by the various institutions. I was told by an expert that this has happened to a few BB10 users and that if I did not receive mobile network connection right after inserting my sim, there's no chance that I'll ever get to use my mobile network to browse . I am however able to use the wifi. Please reply help if you have any idea what i can do

Probably not, for the data plan.
You need to CALL them and MAKE SURE you have the data plan actually on your account, not just assume it.
And this has nothing to do with pins on the SIM card missing etc., since your SIM is actually working.

Unable to use scan with networked HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP using Mac OSX, but able to print.

Thanks for any help.
I'm using an HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP.
It is networked wirelessly via an Apple Extreme and prints just fine over the network but will not scan.
Yet, it scans just fine when I move the printer's USB cable from the Extreme directly to the MacBook Pro (a bit of a hassel).
When I try to scan over the wireless network, I'm able to go through the scan driver interface and see the printer, but when I click on "Scan", I recieve this error message:
"Scanner communication cannot be established."
"HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP is currently unavailabe. Ensure cables are connected.. etc."
I'm running OSX 10.8.3 on an old MacBook Pro (2008)
MacBookPro3,1
Processor Name:   Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:   2.4 GHz
Number of Processors:   1

Hello, DP Photo, sounds like a scanning issue with the software. To start I want you to completely remove the software and then reinstall the programming from the packages available on the website I am going to link you to below. Use the full-feature software if available.

Hp Photosmart 8750 - Trouble printing in color using 8750 as networked printer.

Hi,
I have an HP Photosmart 8750 Professional printer direct connected to a Win XP computer through the USB port. It is designated as a network (shared) printer. The printer works fine printing from the XP computer as I am able to set the print jobs to be controlled by the application I am using.
However, one of the computers on the network has a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. The computer recognizes the 8750 but I am only able to set the color management on the printer properties menu box to either ColorSmart/sRGB or AdobeRGB. There is no option to have the color management 'controlled by application'. Because of this, I am unable to print colored text in documents, at least in those created by Microsoft Office, Wordpad, or Adobe Reader. (Only programs I have tried to print with so far).
Is there a work around for this problem?

Hey @9redsoxfan9 ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand you are on your second HP Photosmart printer and you are experiencing the same issue of not printing color that led you to throwing out your old one. You have done the alignments, cleaning and even replaced the cartridges.
You have done all the troubleshooting I would have got you to do so I recommend you call HP Technical Phone Support.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps. Have a great day!
I worked for HP.

For four years Ive been unable to use my home network as anticipated. I have ADSL connection with O2, airport extreme, three expresses, two minis 10.6.8 and 10.7.3, and two pros 10.6.8 and 10.7.3, and a cinema thbolt display. Id like to use bbc iplayer.

I am unable to stream video and I lose connection frequently. Ive tried it using wireless connection and with ethernet. Ive tried using the O2 router (%series) as a modem for the extreme, Ive tried using the O2 without the extreme - not poss to extend network but MUCH faster, and Ive tried using a variety of other routrers and modems. My flat is 10m x 6m, there are no other wireless devices within or immediately adjoining except for my wireless landline phone that I have changed three times. Every single piece of my home network has been to the genius bar at least three times and the entire network with all devices has been taken twice. Genius bar have found either no fault or no explanation. Applecare dont seem able to tie their own shoe laces and have been worse than useless, suggesting things like checking a plug fuse (good advice but not relevant). I met a chap socially who turned out to be an apple employee home networking specialist. He offered to look at it and came to my flat. I quote him now: "F**k me, its just not supposed to do tha., Theres something seriously wrong with the system. It's an Apple problem completely". However, despite repeated requests I have not been invited to escalate the issue beyond the genius bar. Enen though everything possible is apple (they dont make a modem for ADSL??), all I get from them is it must be the fault of something else.
PS Ive had my O2 connection checked tens of times and paid for a bt engineer to check my line 4 times.
PPS The thunderbolt display was sold to me after I refused one on the grounds that the location of my mini was more than 2 metres from the display, and the salesperson reassured me that the thunderbolt connection was universally available and that would have no problem connecting the display to my mini 5 metres away.
I may well not be too bright when it comes to computers, but with their attitude of there being NO SUCH THING AS A BAD/FAULTY APPLE PRODUCT, ONLY SILLY CUSTOMERS WHO HAVENT WORKED OUT HOW TO USE THEM YET, I wish I will soon see their brand will rot in commercial oblivion ****. I have focused this on home netwrking but that is the tip of the iceberg. However, having invested so much of my life and my money in what I have, please can any of you good people out there show me the foolish error of my simple ways?

Hi Zac, sorry to hear about your troubles, but that's why us other users are here to try to help in these instances.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this connection drop happens.

Thanks for the responses, they have been very illuminating!
This is very disappointing from The Carphone Warehouse. If they had mentioned this when I went into their stores, I wouldn't have completed the purchases. I bought two phones at separate outlets and neither of them told me this.
I have been in contact with T-Mobile already as I thought they had sneakily applied a software update that locked the phone. They have denied locking it and suggest that it is something that Apple do. Their solution was a factory reset.
I have a call logged with Apple this afternoon, so will see what they suggest. Hopefully they will give me something that I can take to The Carphone Warehouse or T-Mobile.

Unable to use Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer

I want to convert a web page (html) to a PDF document. When I tried to do this using my Adobe PDF Pack, I received a message indicating that I would have to do it using the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer. So, I downloaded and installed the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer as directed.   I went to the web page and printed the document to the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer, as directed in the instructions. I received the following error message: Could not open the file. Access is denied.
What do I do now?

I get exactly the same result. It doesn't work. Please note that I am
trying to SAVE the web page as a PDF file. That is, I am trying to convert
a web page (html) to a PDF document.   I am not trying to print it. I want
a copy of the PDF version of the web page to save on my computer.
In any event, printing it does not work.   I get the same error message I
indicated in my first missive. And, yes, my printer is working just fine.
Please: tell me how to use the
<http://forums.adobe.com/message/5836668#5836668> Adobe CreatePDF Desktop
Printer to convert a web page to a PDF document. When I try to do that,
using my Adobe PDF pack, I get this message:
"Adirondack-Wildfl ... ng-Shrub-List.html" is in a format not supported for
conversion to PDF.
You can save the file to one of the supported formats or use the PDF printer
for Windows to convert the file. For a list of supported file formats
<https://createpdf.acrobat.com/redir/cpdf_cpdf_supported> click here"
When I clicked on the link, I received these instructions:

http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-pdfpack.html#main_Convert_a_file
toPDF   This page included the following:
"To convert a file type not listed above, use
<http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-pdfpack.html#main_adobePDF_desk
top_printer> Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer. " So, I clicked on that link
and downloaded the Adobe CreatePDF Printer. I followed these instructions:
"Print To PDF Setup
The Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer lets you convert any file (in a
printable format) to PDF by printing it from an application on your desktop.
The resulting file is saved automatically to your Adobe PDF Pack account,
and you receive an email when conversion is complete. The desktop printer
functionality is available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. You
don't need any special hardware to print to Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer.
To print to the Adobe CreatePDF printer, first install and configure the
Adobe CreatePDF Desktop printer. Then, open a file in its native application
and choose the print function. Select the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer
from the printer list, choose the appropriate print settings, and then print
the file. Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer converts the file to PDF, and then
stores the PDF file in your Acrobat.com account."
So, the instructions say that the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer will
convert a file to PDF and store it in my Acrobat.com account. It doesn't do
that. I tried just printing it (after selecting Adobe CreatePDF Desktop
Printer). I also tried printing to file. In both cases, I get an error
message, and there is no file stored in my Acrobat.com account.
It doesn't work.
Please fix!

Unable to use Acrobat 8 as printer in windows 7 x64

I recently upgrade from windows vista to 7. Then I download all the Adobe patches up to 8.1.7. Now, I cannot use PDF as printer when I am on a website or in other programs such as QB.

You may be able to print to file with the Adobe PDF printer (it is a PS printer). Then you can either try to locate the file in a watch folder for Distiller to watch or simply open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion. I have not heard back from users with AA8 about how well this will work, but it is probably the only way you are going to be successful. The use of the watched folder is probably as automatic as the process can be done with AA8. I do not have Win 7 and can not test the options out. If you get something to work, please report back with the AA version (AA 8.1.7) and what works and does not work. It will be useful for trying to help others.

[Gnome 3] gnome-keyring is not used by secured network printer

Hey people out there
Does someone know, if it's possible to save the username and password of samba printers? Everytime I print over a shared printer with authentication I have to type in the username and password again... that's really annoying. Missing feature or a bug? I don't exactly know, but I thought it was working a time ago...
Here are my system details:
linux 3.5.5-1
gnome-shell 3.4.2-1
gnome-keyring 3.4.1-3
cups 1.6.1-6
Greetings,
Timo

Unable to access Internet using a Mobile Network

Hello friends
I recently updated my SE Xperia mini pro 17i (2011 model) to ICS, initially there were some issues and I had to re-update it to finally get authentic interface of ICS. Even after the successful update I am unable to use the mobile network to access Internet, the only way is to use a Wifi instead. Can somebody please help me out with this issue?
Karan

The first thing I would advise doing is contacting your current network provider and have them send you through the relevant internet settings.

Need Help: Printing on network printer

Hi.
I have computer with shared printer. It has Fedora Core 5 operating system and CUPS.
How can I print from my computer that is based on Solaris 10 to this printer (from Mozilla for example).
I can access printer: print test pages and see it's jobs using HTTP:
http://host_ip:631/printers/printer_name
I tryed to add access to printer using Printer Administrator, in Print Server, I wrote: host_ip/printers/printer_name, but in Print Manager - printer displayed as "Out Of Service".
I was unable to input: host_ip:631/printers/printer_name because of error message: "server name invalid".
Also, I tryed to add network printer from Printer Administrator, I wrote in destination few variants:
1. http://host_ip:631/printers/printer_name
2. host_ip
3. host_ip:631
4. host_ip:631/printers/printer_name/
5. host_ip:631/printers/
It works from Windows and Linux.
How can I print from Solaris to that printer?
Thank you.

http://bigadmin.sun.com is a better place to ask this question.
Here's a /etc/printers.conf file that I use for my network printer, hostname adams, queue lp1.
