Bonjour finds the printer, still can't print

Ok, here's the situation. I am having no luck with printing from the XP SP2 side of bootcamp. I have the printer connected to an Airport Express (a few years old). The HP printer was purchased with the MBP just a few months ago. Everything works just fine on the mac side. And everything except the printer works just fine on the XP side. On the XP side it seems like everything is set up properly. I can surf the web, airport utility shows the printer, bonjour can find it, it creates the printer. I do a test print and nothing. It just says the document has failed to print. Doing some searching on the forums, it was suggested to use the actual port ID...did that, same error message. I've tried every suggestion I found ....always the same result. Well, when the printer is directly connected to the MBP, it works no problem. Wirelessly through the Express is the issue. Anyone have similar problems? Or more to the point, do you know the solution? I could really use any help on this.

You may have "installed" the printer on your Mac (when it was connected directly to the MAC), but have you "installed" the printer again on your Mac with it connected to the AirPort Extreme?
If you have previously installed the printer on your Mac and now install it on the AirPort using your Mac.....it will appear that you have installed the printer twice on your Mac.
But, that is not the case, you have it installed at the Mac and installed at the AirPort. Be sure to choose the "correct" printer location when you try to print.

  • Should I  be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1?  My iPad can't find the printer.  Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

    Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1?  I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer.  But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago.  Suggestions??

    Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it.  So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
    There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

  • Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
    Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

    I have an iPad 1. I downloaded PrintCentral Pro and also the Bonjour Printer Wizard as prompted. I still can not print. What am I missing?  I am new to this...Please help.  Thank you!

    Depending on what you are trying to print you may have to print from within the app.  For example, to print an email or web page you have to open what you want to print from print central pro.  If your printer is not a supported printer there is another app from the same developer that allows you to print from your iPad to your printer via a wired pc.  You may want to drop them an email.  They have pretty good customer service and respond to emails very quickly.

    I have a Lexmark s405 printer and I've just updated the firmware and still can't print wirelessly from my iPad. Why?

    That model doesn't appear to support AirPrint (those that do are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356)
    Have you checked to see if Lexmark have their own app in the store, or there are third-party apps such as Print Central For iPad and Print n Share which might work with it

  • Still can't print

    Hi Folks,
    I'm having problems printing and creating in Acrobat, per the conversation from another thread that I've pasted below.  I pasted it here because that thread seems to have given out.  The fellow with whom I was corresponding gave me some pretty good ideas and I tried them.  But they didn't pan out.
    Can anyone save me on this?
    Thanks,

    Hi There,
    I was having some problems with Acrobat and with other CS3 components, too, so I just ran the CS5 Cleaner Tool and reinstalled CS3.  As far as I can tell, the only problems I have now are with Acrobat 8 Professional.
    - It appears that I'm able to Save As any file as a PDF
    - I can't Create a PDF, either by opening of dragging a file into Acrobat Professional.   The error message says either the "file type is not supported" or "the file is corrupt".  Word is supported and my files are new.  Then I get another box that says "Missing PDFMaker files.  Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"  If I run that, nothing happens.
    - I can't print a PDF.  The error here is "Error - Printing" or "Error - Sent to Printer" in the print dialogue box.
    Any ideas?  I'm a bit stuck.
    Thanks,
    CS

    Re: Create - No Go
    You gave no indication of the OS or the WORD versions. AA8 has problems with Win 7 and also OFFICE 2010. If you have not updated, you might update AA8 and something like AA8.3.4 or so (did not check lately).
    As far as printing, the most basic process of all the PDF creation processes with AA8 are to print to the Adobe PDF printer with print to file selected. Then open that file in Distiller to complete the process. If that works, you can then at least create PDFs. The next step is to check for AcroTray running in the background (ctrl-alt-del > tasks and you should see AcroTray running in the background. You might try killing it and restarting (from the Distiller folder).
    PDF Maker requires WORD to be activated for the PDF Maker macro. If you have the PDF maker menu in WORD, then opening in Acrobat should also work. The latter simply uses the macro in WORD.

    Re: Create - No Go
    Hi Bill,
    I'm running Windows Vista and, I believe, Office 2007.  Sorry about the omission.
    I'll try your print-to-file trick and see what happens.
    I'll also try what you suggest about the Acrotray, too.
    There's no PDF Maker menu in Word, though I can select PDF as a printer.  How do I activate Word in this case?
    Thanks,

    Re: Create - No Go
    Hi Bill,
    I can create PDFs by Saving As to PDF and then printing, but I still can't Print of Create.  It's a bit of a pain when working with AI.
    I tried your idea of printing to file and then opening Distiller to complete the process.  I couldn't print to file without an error, so I couldn't even get to Distiller.  Or maybe I don't quite understand what you're saying here.
    I killed the AcroTray, got it going again, and that didn't make any difference.
    There's no PDF Maker Menu in Word or Excel.
    Any ideas?  I'm stuck.
    Thanks,

    Well, I found the solution, although it was a trial and error thingy. I have my HP Deskjet 5400 running an apple driver in windows XP. My Brother HL-5140 worked with the proper drivers in XP but I had to reinstall the drivers setup utility in the mac for the HL-5140.
    I don't see any patterns except that it is having software conflicts.

  • "Can't Save the File. Can't Print the File" error in Illustrato CS3

    I get the error "CAN'T SAVE THE FILE. CAN'T PRINT THE FILE". In Illustrator CS3
    According to adobe this is an issue of having more that 28 spot colors, so I went to the swatch palette and pulled the fly-out menu out and told it to remove any unused swatches which took me down to 6 spot colors, but I still get the error when trying to save it to EPS format, which is the format I have to have for the ripping program for the vinyl printer in my sign shop. Saving it in AI format causes no issues.
    Is there still something I am missing?
    Thanks
    Roger

    I appreciate your comment, I see what your saying.
    However...my issue is...I am making a vehicle wrap on a full size van for a radio station and it consist of pictures of a clouds for the background with two pictures of music artist that are associated with the kind of music this station plays, then there is a big round logo of the radio station that involves three spot colors (Purple, white and one of which is technically the black "K" ribbon) along with the web address of the station but it is of the same colors of the radio station logo...then there is the corporate logo that utilizes another spot color (blue)so as you can see I need the spot colors that I'm using.
    So just to make sure I'm clear...I can only have 28 different individual colors, even though I have photos involved in the rendering? How can I make that work because photos obviously have more than 28 colors in them. It doesn't make sense because you can do a live trace on something in literally hundreds of colors.
    Would it help if I flattened the photo work from photoshop before I move it to Illustrator? The reason I ask is because when I go to save and choose EPS the next save dialogue that comes up...down at the bottom there is two exclamations that one says something about embedding fonts, which I'm not concerned about and the other is something about there is some artwork that needs flattening.
    Please bear with me here cause I am definitely a newbie!! My boss threw to the wolves on this adventure and I am learning by reading and trial and error.
    Thanks

  • Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it?

    Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it? Operating system is Windows 7 and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 installed. Adobe Acrobat X Pro just updated to version 10.1.8

    Hi. Thanks for the replyl
    I'm in prepress, working mainly with Quark XPress for advertising files and with Word, Photoshop, everything, for many years. My older computer is the workhorse with Quark 6.5 and CS4 and OSX 10.4.11. Everything is set up for me to produce PDF x1a files by printing .ps files from Quark and Word, and InDesign.
       My newer computer, OSX 10.9.4, must now be used to a greater extent. So I have Quark 9 and 10 and now Creative Suite for the Cloud. But I don't have any Adobe PDF printer which I select when I print .ps files and place into my Distiller Watched Folder. I by pass selecting the Adobe PDF printer in Word and just print straight to .ps. The .ps file just sits in the Watched Folder and no longer flows into Distiller, processed and out. Is this the way of the future? I just want a smooth, fast flow for PDF's. I want them to be PDF x1a compliant for hi-quality printing.
    Thought you might help to give me info as to how one uses Distiller (or not) with the new operating system and latest programs. Can't seem to find any info as of yet by searching the Adobe FAQ's and the Internet in general.
    Thanks alot.

    Yes, assuming you refer to an Android table.. If you refer to Windows 8 tablet please clarify.
    You may print through the local network using the HP ePrint mobile app.

    No printing :I can't print anymore, printing the same file with another program is ok, printing form LR (in the same system and printer of course :-) ): Preparing  and Printing indicatorbar in the left hand upper corner are running and completing, but no output at all to my printer. I have been printing before. Next I upgraded to LR5.7.1 but the problem stays. Perhaps some adjustment is changed by me unintentionally, but I have no idea. Does anybody know what to check? Printing to file is also strange,the canvas only seems to accept A4, and crops any image relative to that size, so a 10x15 cm print on 10 x 15 cm paper is cropped to 10x15/2. Anybody any idea? (system win 8.1 64, printer HP B8550)

    I accidentally solved my mystery.  For some reason it was set to "print to file".  I changed it to "printer" and now I am able to print.

  • Try to save .ai file as EPS it says "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illu

    Windows 8. Adobe Illustrator CS6
    I create an illustration and saved it as an .ai file.  Now that I'm ready, I want to save it as an EPS file, but a window pops up saying "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illustration." I tried saving it under older formats, doesn't work.  Help!

    I don't think it is a Win8 issue per se. I export to EPS from both CS5.1 and CS6 on Windows 8 64-bit. It may well be a user account issue or the CS6 installation itself.
    Try creating a new user account on the Win 8 computer and try it. Only takes a few minutes with the reboot.

  • Major Printing Problem - Can't Print in any App, with Any Printers

    I help my Aunt with her three Macs (2 eMacs, 1 MacBook, all running 10.4.8 right now) at her office, and she had me come to help recently because one of the eMacs stopped printing anything; here's what happens:
    In every app besides Word (e.g. Safari, TextEdit, AppleWorks, etc.): If I click File>Print... or press 'Command-P,' the cursor turns into the spinning rainbow for a few seconds, and nothing happens (meaning I can do anything I want in the application, as if nothing at all happened).
    In Word: If I click File>Print... or press 'Command-P,' Word sits for a minute with the spinning rainbow, then locks up and quits itself. BUT, if I click the little 'print' button in the toolbar (the one that bypasses the print dialog box), the file will print.
    I tried resetting the printing system, setting up different printers on the computer, printing over the network and over USB (directly connected to port 1 on the eMac), and re-downloading/installing the printer drivers for the Brother 5250DN laser printer AND the HP LaserJet 1200 laser printer, but all to no avail.
    I can run the Printer Setup Utility and recognize the printers (via Bonjour over the network and via USB), and the computer can run the printer setup utilities, so I know the printer communicates fine with the computer. I also can print to the printers (both the networked one and the Brother) from any of the other Macs (including my own laptop) over the network. But I can't get the print dialog box to show up for any printer on the one eMac.
    I'm determined that this problem lies within the OSX printing system, but reinstalling the whole OS is not an option, as I would have to re-setup all the software, user accounts, special network settings, etc. (even if I do an Archive and Install). Is there anything I can do??? (I seem to recall someone else having this problem, but I can't find that thread on the forum).

    There's another thread describing this same problem. I am having the issue too. As I posted in the other thread:
    "Well, I did a full Archive and Install, with restore user settings, and the thing still won't print! All apps crash when trying to print (except Mail.app, which is odd). So it appears all of the files required for printing are there since Mail.app works, but I still can't print from Safari, Firefox, Preview, TextEdit, etc etc. ARGH!!!!
    Next step is to downgrade to 10.4.8."
    If that doesn't work, I guess an Erase and Install would be th next step.
