1 Vista, 2 Mac, 3 XP - Vista Prints, Macs Print, XP No Print!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so in my house i have 1 vista, 2 mac;1 w/ windows, 3 xp;1 wired 2 wireless, all setup with a pretty decent average network: 1 airport extreme w/ 2 printers, airport express bridged w/ home stereo and 1 printer.
Heres the problem:
the vista,2 mac, and wired xp can all print to all 3 printers using bonjour for windows, however the 2 wireless xp systems can not! I dont get it. if you have any ideas please try and help
Also my extreme no longer for some reason does not show up in airport admin utility but the express does if you think that might have to do with it please give me some help with having me extreme be seen again!!!!!!

Abhigyan,
The Java Script hasn't changed in 2 years. It was developed by an Adobe Partner. Adobe Reader and Acrobat have changed.
I'll try to step through the script but haven't had much luck in past.
Here are the lines that Reader likely is throwing the error:
oDoc.print(pp);
if ( bCloseNoSave ) oDoc.closeDoc({bNoSave:true});
As I stated, it works in previous versions of Reader (9.0 through version 9.3.2). The issue began when Adobe released version 9.3.3.

If I can print to a wireless printer from my Mac, wouldn't it seem like I could print from my iPad mi I and iPhone 5?

I cannot print from my iPhone5 nor my iPad mini, to a wireless HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m. I can print from my Mac book pro. Is it my settings or the printer that is not set up correctly?

First check to see if its airprint enabled, it will be listed in the first article link. If not, then there are other options listed below.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

Printing to a Windows Hosted Printer that has NO Mac Drivers

Okay, I'm stumped.
I just inherited a Canon ImageClass MF5730 MFP from my father's home office. Fantastic Laser MFP that is USB connected to my wife's PC running XP. Prints great from her PC, along with Scans, Copies etc....
I went to connect to it from my Mac, and discovered that there are no print drivers for this Canon printer, nor do the standard generics work either.
Is there a way to leverage the print drivers that Windows uses in it's hosted share spooler to allow me to print to this printer? Alternatively, is there another option that may provide some relief to me? I would really like to use this printer, as the quality is amazing compared to the current solution I'm using!
Thanks!

Have a look at the instructions at this web site.
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/macosx/winmacprinter/
This will allow you to print to the Canon using a Generic PostScript driver on the Mac.

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

Can I print to more than one printer from one Mac - at the same time?

Hi,
I'd like to set up a few printers in order to handle large jobs occasionally. But the print jobs are going to be coming from InDesign which I have on only one of the Macs. Can I do either of these...?
a) connect more than one printer to a USB hub and send one print job to each of them so they print more or less simultaneously?
...or...
b) connect one printer to each of my 3 other office Macs and send a print job to each of them (via Printer Sharing) from the Mac with InDesign on it, as well as sending a print job to a printer connected directly to that Mac?
I'd hate to have to spring for 3 more licenses for InDesign just to print faster!
TIA
Rob

Item A won't work.
B will work but there will need to be a fair amount of manual involvement.
For example, if you have one file and need multiple copies, and were looking to have each printer printing the same pages simultaneously (load balancing), then you would have to send a print job to each printer (one locally and one to each of the shared printers). There is no provision in OS X to print the file once and have it print on four machines simultaneously. There may well be third-party applications that can do this (there are several for Windows), but OS X client doesn't have this feature out-of-the-box.
I also believe that the 'classes' facility in CUPS (aka print pooling in OS X Server) cannot do load balancing, as it is designed to send the spool file to the first available printer - not every printer in the pool. However, with printer pools, when the first printer is busy printing the next printer would receive the job when you hit the print button again. It is important that the pool consists of the same printers, otherwise you would get variation in the output.
With regards to the three additional licenses, you could print the ID file to pdf, and then the other Mac's could print the pdf...

Mac cannot see shared windows 7 pc or printer

Recently upgraded to windows 7 (from xp) and now I'm having issues networking with my iMac. The PC can see the Mac just fine. On the mac, 0 items show up under network, even though file and print sharing are enabled on the PC. If I "connect to server" I am able to mount the shared windows folders. I am also able to stream my itunes library from the pc to the mac. However, I cannot add the shared printer connected to the windows 7 pc to the mac. I also have a laptop running windows xp and it can see both the mac and windows 7 pc just fine. It can also use the shared printer.
Basically I need to know why my shared windows 7 pc and windows xp laptop are not showing up as shared computers in finder, and why isn't the mac recognizing the shared printer?

I've contacted both Apple and Microsoft this morning. Apple says that since I can force the connection it must be a MS issue.. something they've changed in windows 7. MS says that since the windows 7 computer can browse files on the mac and because the xp laptop can print to the shared windows 7 printer, this issue is beyond their boundary for support, ie.. it's a Mac issue.
I don't care to point fingers. I just want things to work. As a last resort, i'm going to physically connect the printer to the mac, share it, and see if the windows pc can use it. However, that is not a desirable option for me because of the location of the computers/space in my home.

Canon LBP6000 print driver - no printer appears in the 'add printer' section' I have installed Mac CAPT Ve r340 and nothing shows.r

I was having problems printing from my Canon LBP6000. Print jobs remained held in the queue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mac CAPT Ve r340 driver from Canon's website, no improvement. The printer works fine with my Windows laptop.
I found an option to remove all printers from the Print preferences section. I can't remember how I did this, but all printers were removed. I reinstalled the above driver, but now in the 'print & scan' - 'add printer' section, I have no printer options. And no idea how to get printer options. So very open to advice.
Thanks
T.

The ability to see the LBP6000 in the Add Printer view is not reliant on the printer driver but the USB cable. If you have the printers USB cable connected directly to the Mac, as opposed to having it connected to the Windows computer you mention or to some sort of USB hub, then it should appear in the Add Printer > Default view. If it does not show, then try another USB cable. You can also open System Information on the Mac and select the USB section in the left column. Then in the top right pane you will see all the USB busses on the Mac and the LBP should be seen under one of the busses if the USB cable is okay.
With regards to the action to remove all printers, I would bet that you performed a reset of the printing system.

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8. I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch. I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers. Hit the "+" button. The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it. The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success). I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn. Why is this method not working with this printer?
I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement. Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable. Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer. Successfully printed a document page. While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog. The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

I apologize for the delay in responding to you. I was on the road all day yesterday.
OK. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network. That did not work. I swapped out the cable for one that I know works. Still no change. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router. No change. I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?
After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

Printing to a Linksys Wireless Print Server with my MAC

have a small home network using an ATT DSL modem-router. I have several PCs hardwired to the router and 1 older MAC wireless. I have a MAC G4 laptop and a Dell laptop (my wife's) also connected wirelessly and all work well. I have added a Linksys wireless print server today and am able to get my wife's laptop to print easily and reliable as does the hardwired Dell. What I need is to get my MAC laptop to print wirelessly as well. I have tried all the options in the printer set-up but it does not see the print server. Linksys does not support MAC and there are no MAC drivers for the print server to download that I know of. Does anyone know of a fix on how I could configure this equipment so I can print wirelessly from my MAC laptop. Or perhaps bypass the print server and print using the modem-router and the same printer. I would appreciate any suggestions one could lend. Thanks much.

Hello Bruarong,
It sounds like you are unable to print to your printer from Mac OS X Lion. I recommend the troublehsooting from the article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Boot Camp Mac Pro Vista 32 / 64 Nvidia 7300GT Maya / OpenGL apps freeze?

I have successfully installed Vista 32 and 64 in addition to OSX. I have the latest BootCamp install. (which should not matter) I have installed the latest Nvidia drivers for the 7300GT in both 32 and 64. Whenever I try and launch any openGL application (tried Maya, Mudbox, Realflow so far) they all just freeze on startup. I can play DirectX games just fine. I have tried everything, including re-arranging my RAM, changing every Nvidia setting (exhaustive searches on other forums). I have a Mac Pro (quad core), 5GB RAM, two SATA partitions on the primary drive, and a dedicated drive for Vista 64. BTW - I was having the same problem in Vista 32 as well before I decided to try installing Vista 64. This seems to be a very strange issue, since undoubtedly the Apple team would have tested at least a single openGL app before qualifying Vista for boot camp.
I have already installed the latest EFI update, and when I try and install the update to Nvidia firmware OSX in it's verbose glory tells me "you do not need this update".
BTW - when I install Vista 64, BEFORE I install the Nvidia drivers (using Microsoft Nvidia drivers), I can load Maya just fine. Although, it is not very responsive, which defeats the purpose.

I think it is a shame you don't have the X1900, though. Or 8800 which only works under Windows but interferes with OS X even booting. (I have 8600 which doesn't work in OS X but at least does work in Vista).
Only Business and Ultimate support dual cpus. And only x64 supports 5GB. 32-bit SP1 will see all 5GB but not sure how much it uses. Otherwise, Mac Pro + Vista 32-bit supports 1.9GB RAM - which is paltry.
Does Maya system requirements show the 7300?
