7.3.1 firmware interferes with printing from Windows XP to USB printer

I have a home network consisting of an Airport Extreme, a Windows XP desktop, and a Macbook Pro laptop. After upgrading the firmware of the Airport Extreme to 7.3.1, I can no longer print to my Airport Extreme USB connected printer from my Windows XP desktop. I can print fine from my Macbook Pro, but when I try to print from the Windows machine, the internet becomes unavailable to the Windows machine until the print job is canceled, and the print job never completes. The problem does not occur from my Macbook Pro, and rolling back to 7.2.1 cures the problem.
Ideas? Anyone else find similar problems with 7.3.1?

You might like to try with changing the port number. After I upgraded to 7.3.1, printing from both our XP and Ubuntu desktops stopped working. I discovered that the port number had to be set to 9102 instead of 9101 that we used earlier.

Try to print from windows to a special printer needs to read text

dear sir or madam,
I am trying to print a pdf file with greek text in it to a printer that needs to read the text and process it at some other task.
I can print from any Windows program to that special printer and if I have a document with images and text, the images are striped down and the text is shown to the output file.
When I try to print a pdf file all the text is shown as images. I can copy and paste the text with no problem why it is not printed as text???
I try to do this with the command line. Is there are other switches I could try?

1: I am sorry about the inconvinience.
The reason you find a check mark on a printer icon is to indicate that its a default printer. If the fax icon has a check mark, everytime you print a fax template will come up.
SOlution: Just right click on the other icon and select it as the default printer.
2: Black lines while printing photos.
CLick on the link below and check if the solution helps you.

R-Click print from Windows Explorer doesn't print actual document size.

We publish AutoCAD drawings to PDF routinely. They are setup in 11x17 landscape format. They are published (AutoCAD's way of printing multiple at once) to PDF in 11x17 landscape format. When you open the file with Reader they are in 11x17 landscape format. You can manually print them after opening from adobe reader in in 11x17 landscape format. But, when you are in Windows Explorer, right click these PDF file(s) then click print, they are printed in 8.5x11 landscape format.
How can we get these to print in the documents actual format? We want to be able to R-Click the file(s) and print them from Windows Explorer without having to open Reader.

Does anyone know how they can help me? We could really use this.

Help Printing from Windows 7 to shared printer on Tiger/Mac Mini

UGH! My folks have long been running on a Power PC Mac Mini with Tiger. The Mac has an Epson Stylus CX4200 - works great in this configuration. Unfortunately, we have a need to implement a laptop with Windows 7 running. I'd like to print to the Mac's locally-attached printer from the wirelessly-connected laptop.
Anyone know how to configure windows 7 to print to the shared printer attached to the Mac? Any help, greatly appreciated.
- Brad

Hello Brad,
If you download and install Bonjour for Windows onto the Windows 7 laptop, this will assist you with finding the printer being shared by the Mac.
Note that the web page does not mention Win7 support, but since Vista is supported there should not be an issue.
I also cannot ever remember using it when I had Tiger on a Mac, so not 100% of it functioning correctly (certainly works when printer is shared by 10.5 and 10.6).
In case it doesn't work, you could manually add the printer queue on Win7. The connection used by Bonjour for Windows is IPP and you will need to know the IP address or name of the Mac sharing the printer. You will also need to know the name set for the Epson, which can be found via the Print & Fax pane.
The network queue name on the Win 7 laptop needs to be;
http://maccomputer_name.local:631/printers/PrinterName
or
http://IPaddress_of_mac:631/printers/PrinterName
Then for the Printer Manufacturer and Model you can select the HP Color Laserjet 4550 PS. Don't worry about selecting a PostScript (ie PS) driver. Even though your printer probably does not support PostScript, the Mac will convert the incoming PS spool file into the appropriate format used by the Epson.

I dont have the airport software on the Windows machine its on the IMAC.

Can't Print from Windows Vista Notebook to Printer installed in Mac Mini

I have a home network that is connected to the internet by DSL. My Printer Xerox Phaser 3115 is installed to the Mac Mini.
From my Vista Notebook, I can see the printer shared by my Macmini. However, I can't print coz the printer says "access denied". I installed this Bonjour for Windows in order to print but it says "No Bonjour Printers are available".
Please help me! Thanks!

On Windows, after either method of setup, change the driver (on PC) to Apple Color LaserWriter. Apple print queues expect postscript as input.
If this is unsatisfactory, you can create a RAW queue on the Mac (only for sharing the printer, because it will have no driver associated):

How to print boderless photos with 6525 printer from Windows 7

Regardless of whatever setting I use with the 'Advanced' print menu in Windows or within Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, I STILL get a border around every print. I've even set 'Custom print size' in Photoshop to the full 7 x 5"- and the on-screen preview image shows the paper size correctly filled without a border - but the printer still gives a border, like it or not!
HELP!!!

Hello Suffolkman,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are trying to print a 5x7 borderless photo with the Photosmart 6525, but it will not despite the setting you have entered.
The 5x7 paper does support borderless, I was able to print one fine. You mentioned applying this under the Advanced setting, was this the area?
If not, you can access this by right clicking on the printer from Devices and Printers, then Printer Preferences.
Have you tried to print the photo from Windows Photo Viewer?
Also, the HP Print and Scan Doctor is a great to you can utilize to ensure the drivers and software are functioning as they should.

Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?

Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?
a) HP printer with USB port only (no ethernet port) connected to Airport Express
b) No issue printing from Macs
Tests
1) Installed Bonjour 2 - does not find printer (now uninstalled)
2) Bonjour 3 is listed in programs but no way to access
3) Using TCPIP address (and no Bonjour) gives 'Unsupported Personality' error when printing test page
Regards
Richard
p.s. why are all Windows 8.1 questios n the forum 'Locked' with no reply?

This is possible, but not with Bonjour or any other fixes. It is just a printer set up based on the Port name of the Airport, 10.0.1.1.
I found the answer on YouTube, Title: Windows Printing For Apple AirPort Extreme without Bonjour Wireless wifi.

How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express?

How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express? I have a HP printer and I can print from all my Windows PC and iMAC in the house. How can I print from my IPaD?

You cannot.
The USB port on the AirPort Express allow sharing a printer with Windows and Mac OS X, not with iOS:
"Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7":
http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/#wireless-printing
"AirPrint-enabled printers connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported":
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
The HP ePrint app also does not provide such functionality:
Can I print from the HP ePrint mobile app using USB or Bluetooth?
No. You can only print directly to supported HP printers on a local wireless network.

Error - Printing from Windows Vista to OS 10.5.3

I have an HP Photosmart C3100 printer connected to my iMac by USB, and shared over a wireless network. I have no problems printing from my MacBook to this printer, but when I try to print from a Dell XPS with Windows Vista installed, I receive an error that it was unable to connect to the printer because access was denied.
When I first set up this shared printer on the XPS, I printed a page off the internet to test and it printed fine. Then I restarted the XPS and I can no longer print.

My printer is connected to my Desktop(Windows Vista) via USB and I want to share it to My Macbook(Mac OSX Lion) so that I can print documents wirelessly through my Macbook.

Can't print from Windows Explorer

After installing the "HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a", on a Windows 7 64-bit PC, that is Ethernet connected, I get the following error message:
Script Error
An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 2061
Char: 1
Error: Invalid procedure call or argument
Code: 0
URL: res://ieframe.dll/preview.js
When I try to print from Windows Explorer; however, I can print from other applications such as Word and Quicken OK, and I can print from Explorer OK from a Windows XP PC. Anyone have any suggestions?

The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it. Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
3) Reboot
4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
6) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
Thanks,
Dan

Can't print from Windows XP

I'm a new Mac user with a MacBook Pro, and found I needed to run Windows for a couple of applications so installed Parallels. All applications run fine, except printing from Windows. Have a Canon Pixma MP480 printer at home, and an HP Deskjet at the office. Both print fine from Mac, but no luck from Windows at all. I've tried to troubleshoot the configuration in Parallels, and everything seems set up correctly as far as I can tell (I'm not very tech oriented, though). I have the feeling that there is something very basic that I have missed. Anyone have thoughts on what it might be?

Please post Parallels related questions on the Parallels forums as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

Can't print from Windows to Mac

I've always had trouble printing to a printer attached to my Mac from Windows. Bonjour used to see the printer, but I could only occasionally actually print. For a while everything but PDFs worked, then even text stopped. As a last resort I tried the "reset printing system" option in System Preferences and then re-added the printer, but now Bonjour doesn't see it at all. I can browse to it via SMB at \\macname\printername, but all I can do is print a test page as Administrator. Regular print jobs and non-admin test pages just disappear - not in the queue on either client or server. Setting it up as an IPP printer instead didn't help.
I'm at the end of my rope here, and any troubleshooting tips are welcome. I'm an IT guy, so technical details are very welcome: TCP ports to check for listeners on, services to look for, registry settings on the Windows end, anything.
Details:
Server:
Mac OS X 10.6.2
HP Photosmart D7560 printer connected via USB using HP Photosmart driver
Clients:
Windows XP, Windows Vista (32-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
All on the same LAN (wireless), no trouble with TCP/IP connectivity (can ssh into the Mac from the Windows boxes, etc). Both Windows Firewall and UAC are turned off on the Vista/7 boxes, guest access is enabled on the Mac in Sharing preferences...
Any help welcome.
Thanks!

I followed the instructions at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html and am having the same issue. Whether setting up manually or using Bonjour, it seems that you have to select an Apple Driver. The problem is that the Windows 7 does not provide Apple drivers. Luckily, I have an old XP installation CD so I can access the printer drivers I need, but because I already installed the printer drivers from my printers CD Windows will automatically install with that driver, not giving me the "have disk" option.
So I tried to install with Bonjour again, which allowed me to pull up the drivers from teh XP installation disk, but then gave me an error that I didn't have permissions to install the selected printer.
So I deleted the Canon driver for my printer from Windows 7 and went through the process described at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html again. This time I was able to select the Apple Color Laserwriter printer from the XP installation CD, but I got an error message saying that Windows was unable to find an appropriate driver.
At this point, after a couple hours trying to do a simple file share, which should only take 30 seconds, I'm giving up being able to print to a printer connected to a mac from my Windows 7 laptop. Now I have to open files on the mac from the network file share to print.
Mixed having both Macs and Windows machines on the same network is a recipe for a headache.

[solved]printing from Windows 7 to ArchLinux server.

I have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … er_sharing
but cannot recognizing my printer from Windows 7 machine. I have added the workgroup in smb.conf but i don't know if should i put the password and where, i can go from w7 to archLinuxhost:631 and send a test page to print, but i cannot add to w7 the printer.

solved follow the steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … er_sharing
then go to localhost:631 and share the printer,
next go to the w7 machine and browse in the navigator archLinuxMachineIP:631 and copy the URL for the printer in printers tabs,
then add on w7 this url and select the driver.
you have to add a address reservation in your router to the machine with the printer,
