Adding a Windows Shared Printer that I cannot see

In 10.4 I was able to add a windows printer that was shared on my network that I couldn't see by hitting alt-More Printers. It would give me an advanced mode. I cannot find how to do this in Leopard. Can someone help me please.

Hi,
hade said in this thread-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1201487&tstart=0
"When you're adding a new printer right-click on the top bar with all the buttons, then choose customize (or what ever it's called in english) and add the advanced button.
With that advanced button you kind of get a window like the old one, where you can choose the windows printer via samba."
I still need to toggle the printer and I can't duplex unless I connect via USB, but.......

Accessing Windows shared printer, no GIMP driver for Canon iP3000. Options?

I checked a few pages worth of threads but couldn't find a solution to my problem.
Finally accessing my Windows shared printer. I have a Canon iP3000 and it doesn't print when I use the generic driver. I tried selecting the GIMP "Canon BJC 3000" driver but the prints end up shrunken to about a quarter of the paper size (8.5"x11"), my paper was set up and configured correctly. Any options for correcting this?
I had planned on connecting the printer to my MacBook Pro but all the support I could find was for sharing from Windows, so if anyone knows a good resource for such a setup, that'd help too.

There are new versions of Gimp-Print, now called Gutenprint, coming out on a regular basis. Check if the latest has your model:

How to add a Windows shared printer

I was doing everything that Article: HT3049 was saying but i still couldn't print with my windows shared printer from my mac , finally I found out another way, so for those of you who that having problem you can do the steps below:
On the Windows 7 PC
1. Go to Control Panel
2. Select "Programs and Features" panel
3. Click "Turn Windows Features on or off"
4. Click on the "LPD Print Service". Under "Print and Document Services"
5. Ensure printer(s) are shared
On the Mac
1. Open "System Preferences" - "Print & Fax"
2. Click "+" to add a printer
3. Right hand button tool bar to customize and add "Advanced" button
4. Select "Advanced"
5. In the "Type:" field select "LPD/LPR Host or Printer"
6. In the "URL:" field enter lpd://IPserver/PrinterShareName; (e.g., lpd://192.168.1.102/samsung)
Using lpd://ServeName/PrinterShareName does not work, the IP address must replace ServerName
The IP address is the address of your PC, the one assigned by your router
7. Click the "Add" button
enjoy!:)

I had to download the driver for my printer. Depending on the printer you will have to go to that site. In the search engine type 'mac os driver (model printer). I have a dell wireless. After that I went to printers/faxes and hit the + sign and my dell printer was there to add. Hope this helps a bit. I actually just did it today.

How to print on Windows Shared Printer

As I search in Google I found that there are many question about hot to print on windows shared printers. This is the way....
Before you add your windows shared printers in you Mac, sometimes you can not find your printer driver. The only way is directly connect your windows shared printers to you Mac, and connect your Mac to internet. After that your mac will automatically download printer driver. Now you have to add windows shared printers to your mac (this is part is easy..I'm not going to explain this...), and after you select the right driver you still can NOT print to windows shared printers ? You already have user & password for PC that connected to the windows shared printers...but nothing happened in your printer...
Soooo.....
All you have to do is :
1. Go to system pref on mac
2. Click on sharing - thick on "file sharing"
3. Go to "option" and then thick on "share files & folders using AFP" & thick on "share files & folders using SMB (windows)"
4. Dont forget to thick on you account name below...
5. You're good to go...
6. Please note that you have to know the PC Windows user & password that connected to the shared printer.

Hello Greg & Hello PAHU...
Yesterday everything is fine for printing to windows shared printer. But after I update my XP, problems came up again....
And thanks to your link Greg, you are absolutly right about the driver...the problem is the driver...
And your link is solving my problem (until know....) and you are right too PAHU, without thicking File Sharing feature in my Mac, I still can printing with windows shared printer...
And with this reply I admitted that my information above maybe wrong, and the real solver to my problem is to install gutten-print driver :http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Thanks guys you're the best...now I live happily with my MBA

Printing to a windows shared printer (Epson Photo 1400) on a AD Network

Looking for help with printing to a windows shared printer but I believe I need instructions for a domain rather than a workgroups??? Trying to print to a windows shared Epson Stylus Photo 1400 from a Mac running OS 10.4.11. Sharing works fine to other PC's an a network using active directory. (there is no workgroup, and I guess there can't be in the way the network is administered) The "address" used on another pc to print to the shared printer is \\111408nw.

Safari keeps printing that I cannot use it to get and upgrade for OX 10.9.3

Safari keeps printing that I cannot use it to get and upgrade OX 10.9.3?
Yet nothing but Safari shows up on the upper left hand "Safari" word just next to an Apple logo.
I have no way to do anything else as nothing else has or will come up on my screen.
Just getting here involved a great deal of flickering of any images on each screen.
What can I do next?
Or what can you do to help my iMac upgrade to OX Mavericks or better?

First, save and close any active documents, then all active applications you have started. If Safari will not close, find "Force Quit" under your Apple menu and close Safari that way.
Now restart the computer.See if Safari is behaving.
I just joined this community because Aplle screen demanded I show some group.
Have no idea what that means either! These forums have been wacky since a major format change (I can;t call it and upgrade) about three weeks ago. You posted just fine--we can work with that.
Another thought. Navigate this path: Macintosh HD > Applications. Find Safari and highlight it (single-click). Now press teh SPACE bar. What does it show for your version of Safari? If is says version 7.1, that is another issue we need to address.

I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see. The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video. What can I do to be able to get these videos?

Get Flip4Mac (for Windows Media videos):

And Perian for everything else:

You should be able to play most videos with QuickTime player once both are installed.

Why is it that I cannot see my iMessages from my iPad on my iPhone?

Why is it that I cannot see my iMessages from my iPad on my iPhone? I have both on the iCloud, both have iMessage on, and on my iPhone I show to receive at both my cell phone number and my email address that is linked to my iPad. Any suggestions?

If its SD DV, check the following:
· Camera is set to the proper input
· In FCP, Canvas is set to RGB and sized to "Fit to Window or smaller
· View->External Video is set to "All Frames"

Settings>General>Accessibility>Increase Contrast
Settings>General>Accessibility>Bold Text
are some settings that may help.
There are other settings there ...they may not be to your liking but try them all anyways.
But that's about all you can do for now...except to voice your opinion to Apple here:

Adding network/shared printer that's on a Windows box

Hi all,
I was wondering how I could add a printer that is on a windows box;
to be more specific, I know I can add it...but the problem is that os x will only add it as a generic postscript driver...it won't add it as the printer itself (a Canon iP3000). I've tried choosing the appropriate printer driver but it's not listed..I've installed the package manuallly and still nothing.
any help?

The Canon-supplied driver is for USB only. Get Gutenprint from here:

Printing to a Windows Shared Printer in Windows Domain Stopped Working

If anybody can shed some light on the problem below I would be highly appreciative. I have tried every suggestion I've found on ways to fix this problem, including postings found on this forum, without success.
I use able to Print to a Shared HP Laser Jet printer one a Windows 2003 Server machine, which is part of a Windows 2003 Domain. It has been working faultlessly until about a 2 weeks ago. I have had a number of errors including unable to Connect but the Error I get constantly now is:
+Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...ERROR: Connection failed with error NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY"+
I have reset the password of the windows user that originally made the connection when the computer was set up and this password had special characters. After reading various posts I have tried:
1. Reseting that users password without special characters, deleting the printer and adding it back in using the same user and the new password. The same user can map and connect to windows Shared Directories on the same Server and open and edit files
2. I have reset the Keychain to make sure it was using the new password. Again deleted and re-added the printer.
3. Created a new user both on the domain and one the print server deleted and re-added the printer using each user while also reseting the key chain
4. Tried the Advance option on the Printer Setup Utility using the following SMB URL format,
smb://user:pass@Domain/Machine/Printer where, the domain is called "home", the machine name is "Devserver01" and the printer share name is "HPLaser" resulting in a smb URL of smb://shanep:xxxxx@Home/Devserver01/hplaser.
None of the above work!
So as a new MAC user I have absolutely no other ideas of where to look for additional information on what is happening i.e. where do you look for log files that may contain additional detail.
Can anybody assist on suggesting any other things to look for or check?
Thanks
Shane

Hi Greg,
Thanks of the tips. I have just managed to get it working and I didn't use the LPD method but tried a few different smb URI's.
Here's what I found worked.
1. I created a standard user account on the Windows 2003 server on which the printer is connected and shared, i.e. a non Domain user name that is local to the server only and not the domain
2. I then used this user name and password, along with the IP address of the server in the URL i.e.
smb://user:password@IPofserver/hplaser.
3. Printed a test page successfully
I then tried variations of a theme using username and passwords on the domain, changing the @workgroup/server/printer with no success.
I could however replace the IP address with simply the @Server/Printer combinations using he local user name and password successfully.
I also installed apple and Unix printing and file services so whether this made the difference I'm not sure.
Interestingly I tried to add the mac to the LDAP/Active Directory and couldn't successfully bind to the directory. Not that I'm an AD expert, but I have configured a few Java applications to use LDAP/AD authentications and groups of late so this problem is a little unusual, but that aside, thanks for the pointers, Printing problem solved. now to solve the AD one

Printing to a Windows shared printer, keep getting "Hold for Authentication" when I'm on the Windows shared network and can browse the computers.

I have had two MacBook Pros now, and this has been an issue in Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I've got a shared printer on the local Windows network (it's a USB printer shared via the network and the computer), and the other Windows computers in the house can print to it no problem. The Mac sees it no problem, yet whenever I try to print to it, I just get "Hold for Authentication."
Like I said, persists over Mountain Lion and Mavericks. No other computer in the house has any issues printing to it. I've installed the drivers for the printer as well (Brother HL-2240).
I've tried to follow the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23268762#23268762 but the printer isn't listed in Keychain Access.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Well, that isn't too useful. Try this instead: Adding a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB/CIFS.

Rather than use SMB to connect from Lion to the Windows XP printer share, a better method is to enable Print Services for UNIX on Windows XP and then use LPD on the Mac to print via the Windows share.
To install Print Services for UNIX on Windows XP:
Log on to the Windows server with an administrative-level account.
Start the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
Click Other Network File and Print Services, and then click Details.
Click to select the Print Services for UNIX check box, and then click OK.
Follow the instructions on the screen to finish the installation
If you haven't done so already, share the printer on Windows XP and make the name one word - no spaces or special characters
With the print services enabled you can then create the printer queue on Lion.
Open Print & Scan and click + to add a printer
Select the IP icon and set the protocol to Line Printer Daemon - LPD
For the Address, enter the IP address of the Windows XP computer
For the Queue name, enter the share name set for the printer in Windows XP
Name and Location are free text so you can set this to something meaningful
For the Print Using menu, select the supporting printer driver. Note that like connections via SMB, the vendors driver for Lion in some cases cannot be used and an alternate like those offered by the Gutenprint suite must be used.
Click the OK button to complete the queue creation.
Now you are ready to test the new print queue.
