Add network printer?

i just got a linksys print server (wireless) and it configured without a hitch on my macbook pro, ibook and pc but how do you add a network printer in os 10.2.8?
xelapond

10.2.8 has all the same options in Print Center - just arranged differently (some names are slightly different too). You're going to need to experiment a little - I don't have 10.2.8 handy to refer to.
To get more of the options to show at once, hold the Option key while clicking ADD, then select Advanced from the bottom of the menu.

Can not add network printer

Hi.
I installed HP Laserjet Pro P1102 on win 7, I checked it for sharing. trying to add it on winxp on same router but is not detected. I d/led file The HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility application "HPHNDU.exe" on pc that printer is attached to, can not find network printer.
Please help - Thanks.
Sinan

It might be possible to do this with an Airport Express. Your AE joins the network and the printer is connected to the AE. If you can get it cheap (g speed is OK).

Can't add network printer to my PC

I have an HP Color LaserJet 2605dn connected thru a USB port to a 5-year old computer running XP Home Edition with SP-2. The printer is designated a shared computer. I also have a Linksys wireless home network that operates flawlessly in every respect except for the problem below.
When I try to add the printer to my new HP Pavilion running Vista Home Premium with SP-1 (64-bit), I get a message saying the server for the printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. When I pursue the "add printer" process to the bitter end, I get a Printer driver setup error (error Ox800f0214).
Can anyone tell me the name of the driver file that is missing, where I can find it, and how I can install it?

ON the Vista Home Premium x64 system go to Control Panel -->Printer --> select add printer and select network printer. Stop there. Now Click on the driver you downloaded from here. Once you begin the install with the exe file the wizard(that is already running) should see the driver and install it. Alternatively you could browse for it with \\computername\printername (substituting your own relevant network names for the devices)
Have you tried physically moving it and installing the printer at the x64 system and then phyically moving it back to the other system where you already have it installed? I know that beast is heavy.
Another option; Use universal extractor and extract the drivers from the.exe files. Then you can easily see which one will work when you extract themto a folder and browse there when you add the printer and the location of the driver is needed.

Can't add network printer properly

I have tried to add a printer on my work network that I connect to through a wireless router. I am trying to add a Gestetner DSc 545. I have the proper printer driver for OS X. I added it via LPD protocol. When I try to print a page, it engages the printer, but I get many pages printed and not the one I wanted to print.
Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you've been struck by the "trick Mac users into buying the postscript add-on" hook. Postscript is optional for that printer, but the postscript PPD is what they give Mac users - assuming we'll spend the money for the add-on.
Depending on the version of Gutenprint you have, you should have a Generic PCL 5c driver, which will work. Or, you can get a more specific driver by following instructions here:

Newer version of Gutenprint:

Powershell Add Network Printer Error

Hope someone can assist me in this.
I am trying to add a network printer using PowerShell but I keep getting the error:
Exception calling "AddWindowsPrinterConnection" with "1" argument(s): "The
printer name is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070709)"
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException

Here is my code:
$PrinterPath =\\server.domain.com\printershareName

$netPrint.AddWindowsPrinterConnection ($PrinterPath)

Yes, the name is valid. If I run just a direct PowerShell on my workstation it adds the printer with no issue but when I run the script on a remote computer that's when I get the error.

HT3669 HOW TO ADD NETWORK PRINTER HP LASERJET M1005

HI
HOW CAN I ADD HP LASERJET PRINTER IN MY MAC WHICH WAS ADDED IN OTHER NETWORK PC WHICH IS WINDOW BASE

Hi Vedarajen,
I'd recommend visiting this link:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=1 839459&lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1839458&taskId=135
Select your OS and download the available drivers. Once they are installed the printer should be available to select from as long as the printer is connected to your network.
Hope this helps!

Desperately need help with a networked printer and SMB sharing for windows

Complete xServ newbie here. I'm a windows/novell admin, with limited experience in Unix and Linux.
Against my advice, a client of mine that owns a small office of 20 people bought an XServG5 to act as a server for 20 mixed Windows PCs. File sharing services are working fine. I've created the users, set up groups and rights - that's all good.
I cannot get an SMB shared printer to work from the windows machines. They run through the network printer install just fine, it shows up online, etc. However, when print jobs are submitted they DO show up in the printer queue on the server, sit there for a while, and then get moved to the completed box.
They never print. There's not any indication that the job is even submitted to the printer. I can print to the printer just fine from the server itself, but the windows clients don't work, but they don't return an error message.
Print services are running on the server, I've configured the printer name to be less than 12 characters for the share, and indeed it does pop right up during the "add network printer" routine.
Ideas? I'm not even sure what questions I'm supposed to be asking, such is my ignorance of the OS. I do know that I followed the documentation to a T, and according to Apple this should work.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm extremely frustrated.

We have the same problem. Our printer worked for about 2 years but failed similar to yours after a system update.
Can you go into the Windows service, Logs, Printer Service. Copy and paste the log here. What I am looking for is a line like lpr: CANNOTCONNECTCLIENT or something similar to this.
What I expect is that you have a problem where the cups defined printer is not usable. We can't get our problem fixed either - but am just curious if you have the same thing. We reloaded our server, applied all of the update and still cannot get it to work.
Again, I think it stems from the update.

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.

How do I add a printer connected to another iMac on the network to my printer list?

How do I add an Epson printer connected to an iMac on the network to the printer list on my MacBook Pro? I cannot get it to show up in the list for printers to add.

That only works if the printer is itself a network printer. You can't do it if it is directly connected to another computer on the network unless it is configured to be a Shared Printer on the other computer.

How do I add a network printer to a terminal server for one user?

I have a 2003 terminal server. I also have a network printer accessible by IP. I want one of the users on the TS to print to this printer.
If I log in as the user, all print options are greyed (access denied). There's no 'users' icon in control panel to give the user admin access like I might do on a workstation. This printer is not installed on a print server so even if he did
have access, doing so doesn't appear to be an option. If I log in as Administrator I can add printers but it wants me to specify \\servername\printername and it's not set up that way. It's just a network printer on an IP. Also I'm not trying
to get RDP to map the printer locally for the user, he needs to be able to print from the terminal server to the network printer. Any articles I can find assume the printer is either local to the user or on a print server of some kind.
Is this possible and how?
Thanks!

Cannot add a Canon Network printer to iMac (Intel) OS 10.8.3

I have never been able to connect this mac to the networked printer(Canon ImageRunner Advanced C5045). The printer is detected as a printer nearby connecting through bonjour, but it won't print with the updated drivers, it wont print with generic drivers. I've added it by IP address, by advanced settings with IP address, When I use the canon drivers, it gives me a driver error -50. When I use the generic drivers it says its connecting and says it sent the prints, but nothing comes out of the printer. I'm kind of at a loss. Any suggestions? Please?

been sitting here non stop for two days trying to make it work.
Under Adding it by default:
Ive used the canon driver UFR II (both US and UK) 2.43 which is supposed to work with 10.8. This leads to an error "Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information." Ive used the generic PostScript printer driver and the generic PCL printer driver. These say they have printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
Under adding it by IP
Ive used IPP with canon drivers/generic drivers (canon drivers error -50 - generic drivers say they have printed but nothing comes out) Ive used Jet Direct with canon/generic drivers (no results) Ive used LPD with canon/generic drivers (no results)
Under adding it by windows
I've found what I believe to be the printer, but it asks me to log into the printer with a user name and password - I dont have either and didnt need any such thing to set it up on the windows machine right next to it.
Under adding it by advanced
under canon CUPS BDL - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct IP - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct USB - got error 50 and Printer is not responding.Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again.
under canon UFR - got error 50
under IPP - got couldnt connect would you like to continue - yes - says printed - no results
under IPP (http) got error -50
under IPP (https) - got error 50
under IPP (ipps) got error 50
under Jet direct - got no results
under LPD/LPR - got no results
under windows with spoolss - got log into printer with user name and password - followed by error -50

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.

We are trying to connect a new WPS printer to our network. We go into Airport utilities and then hit the Base Station drop down to access Add WPS printer. However, when you hover over the Base Station menu, nothing is highlighted. Suggestions?

We have tried to add a WPS Canon Pixma-Pro to our Airport Extreme network. However when we are in Utilities and try to access the Base Station drop down menu nothing is highlighted. Therefore we can not click on the Add WPS Printer title. I'm sure it is some user error that we are overlooking, but extremely frustrated. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Open AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Now try the Base Station menu again
