1 computer and 3 printers networkable?

I have a wrt54g and want to run all three printers off from one computer. How do I do this? Act as if I know nothing(I don't) and tell me how to do this the best way. Thank you for your help.

Also, all three printers have USB and ethernet ports.

you may have to install the printers software into your pc but yeah thats it.

VRealize Operations Management Packs for Lenovo Compute and Lenovo Network Switches

Lenovo Systems Management Community Members:
Blue Medora is currently developing a two new and distinct VMware vRealize Operations Management Packs aimed at Lenovo datacenter technology -- a vROps MP for Lenovo Compute as well as a vROps MP for Lenovo Network Switches. Our target is to release both vROps MPs in the September timeframe. Both of the MPs will support vROps v6+. If vROps integration with Lenovo Compute and/or Lenovo Network Switches is something that is relevant to you, our product management team is very interested in talking to you about what aspects of the Lenovo-based compute and network infrastructure you like to see surfaced in vROps, models of Lenovo servers and network switches your your organization most commonly leverages, as well as any specific troubleshooting / diagnostic use cases you have around Lenovo compute and network.
Please drop us a line at [email protected] if you'd like to participate in a pre-release program for the vROps MPs for Lenovo Compute and Lenovo Network Switches.

Sorry for being a bit slow in responding. Adapting the settings for my wired ethernet adapter as rdhw suggested solved the problem. (But since I am not using any wake-on features, I simply opted to turn them off instead.)
Interestingly, I had previously looked at these settings in the BIOS and turned them off there (forgot to mention this), but it appears the Device Manager settings were overriding the BIOS settings.
So, I still find Access Connections to be slow (it will take maybe half a minute or so to figure out what is happening when I switch between wireless and wired connections), and also getting the X200 to go to sleep takes more time than it used to do (it used to go to sleep momentarily when I, say, closed the lid, whereas now it will need to think for 10-15 seconds first), but at least everything works reasonably well now.
Which is nice, and I don't want to break anything that I don't have the time to fix, so I think I will leave it at this for the time being. Thanks so much for the help (and for the prompt reply)!

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Obtain Inventory from Printers conected to one computer and conected to the network in SCCM 2012

Hi i have a question how can i obtain information about computers in my network and the printers conected to one computer, i would like to obtain information like manufacturer, model and serial number, what do i have to activate to do this i wait for your
commets thaks.

If you are using ConfigMgr 2012, you can enable inventory of local printers with the Printer Device (Win32_Printer) which will give you make/model and capabilities information. I do not believe it reports the serial number, since this is going to be
handled differently by every printer manufacturer.
If you are using only HP, there are ways to script getting this information.
I hope that helps,

Trying to connect 2 mac mini's as a network, and sharing printers

Hello to all. Please help me as I'm a newbie on these Mac mini's. I am trying to create a network between the two mini's and I would like to share files between them and be able to print from the upstairs mini to the printers hooked up to the downstairs mini.
Mini 1 (downstairs) has 2 printers attached directly, a HP color laserjet and a Epson 800 Artisan
Mini 2 (upstairs)
Mini 1 and mini 2 are both connected via ethernet to the Netgear router.
Here is my problem:
on the mini 1, I can print and even access the mini 2 via sharing. I can screen share and view folders that is on the mini 2.
However, from the mini 2 computer, I cannot get the screen share and folder sharing from the mini 1 computer. I show that it is there, but when I try to connect, I get a message that states: CONNECTION FAILED The server may no exist or it is not operation at this time. Check the server name or ip address and your network connection and try again.
On the mini 2 I also cannot get anything to print. It doesn't even show that the printers that are supposedly shared at the other computer are present. I tried to add them, via default icon or even ip from the print and fax preferences, but I get error messages and cannot print.
ON THE mini 2: When I used the 'default printer' icon, both of my printers showed up using bonjour shared and I 'added' them. But when I tried to print, I got a message stating:
*Connecting to downstairs-mac-mini.local on port 631...*
*Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds....*
I deleted both printers as bonjour shared and tried to make the printers an ip internet shared, and put in the ip address xxx.xxx.1.2 (mini 1 ip address) but I got a message saying that that ip address was being used. I changed the ip address to xxx.xxx.1.5 (mini 2 ip address) and it looked like it was going to print, but it automatically goes to pause. (doesn't matter which printer it is, I can't print from either. I never did get either of the printers to work on mini 2.
I have done the following: On the mini 1, the printers are marked shared. On both computers the shared folders are marked shared, along with screen sharing. I also added all files on both computers to be shared as to who can read only or read and write.
Also, I have also gone to the 'system' icon and on internet sharing, I have made both computers to be shared, with the appropriate check marks done on the list of services I want shared.
ON both the mini 1 and mini 2 I have set the network to XXXXX Home and it automatically configured and states that my ethernet is connected.
On the downstairs computer, I can see the 'shared computer, and am able to access the files.
BUT on the other computer upstairs, I do see the downstairs computer, but it fails in the connection.
I noticed that the ip address for each computers state the same number, except the last digit is different. xxx.xxx.1.2 for the downstairs mini and xxx.xxx.1.5 for the upstairs mini. The router number and dns server along with the subnet mask are the same numbers between both of the computers.
I am going to set the power settings NOT to sleep when idle so that might help when I am trying to view files on each mini's.
So right now I am stuck with how to make the upstairs mini to print on the downstairs printers, and how to see the downstairs mini on the upstairs mini display.
Any help from anyone is very much appreciated. Sorry this is so long. Thanks in advance!

Mini 1 Allow only essential services
Mini 2 Allow all incoming connections
I changed mini 1 to allow all incoming connections
That did the trick for viewing, now will that help me on my printer issue also? YES! wahoo! Thanks so much, I would have not thought about checking the firewall.
Kudos to you and all your help!

I loaded in Lion - but my time capsule will not back up. I get an message: couldn't complete backup due to a network prolem. Also it says "make sure your computer and back up disk are on the same network, and that the backup disk is turned on.

I installed Lion on my Mac Pro laptop. Regarding Time Capsul - I get a messaage as follows: couldn't complete backup due to a network problem. Make sure your computer and back up disk are on the same network and that the backup disk is turned on. Then try again to back up. I have time capsul turned on. bill

I have exactly same problem with my MBP and MBA, after upgrading to Lion. I've tried to fix this issue while cheking key chain issues and network setup, even formating hdd and time capsule firmware upgrade (ver. 7.6.1.). Nothing can help. It is very annoying.

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.

Backup failed . Make sure your computer and backup drive are on the same network. What does this mean?

Backup Failed. Comment is "Make sure your computer and backup disc are on the sme network and the backup disc is turned on". What does this mean?

Just back from the dentist.
Did a hard reset and when i asked time capsule to do a backup it tells
me
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image is already in use"
I think I misunderstand how this back up device works.
Is it to be plugged into the back of the router with an ethernet cable?
I have the Time capsule sitting beside my Imac.
The cable modem and router are in another room
I am new at this stuff. Thank you for patience and help

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors?

How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors? This is for when I am at home, and everytime the computer goes to sleep it essentially loses the connection, only to pick up my neighbors network when it is awaken.

Thanks in advance!

You can make your network the preferred network.

Encrypting network between computer and printer

I would like to encrypt a network between computer and printer but I see references to ASCII and hexadecimal which I don't understand. Please can anyone explain in simple terms how to go about this?

The picture you showed is the settings for a WiFi network. There are four main types of encryption 40bit WEP, 128bit WEP, and WPA or WPA2. (I am ignoring WPA2 Enterprise as it is unlikely the printer is capable of this.)
WEP and WPA and WPA2 have all been cracked although it is still the case that WPA2 is better than WPA which in turn is better than WEP. On that basis while using eny of these encryption schemes is better than nothing if you are really concerned with security you would be better using an Ethernet cable.
WPA2 Enterprise is still somewhat secure but as its name suggests is not general suitable for home or small office setups.
With regards to ASCII and Hex, WEP passwords can be entered in either style, they would in fact be the same just entered differently. It is possible to convert an ASCII value to Hex and vice-versa.
