Bonjour Printer Sharing and Window XP with Canon Multifunction

Hi,
I have shared my Canon MP170 and Installed Bonjour for Windows 1.03 on my Windows XP box and it works.I can print to the printer.
However the print quality is strange. It looks like it is in draft mode, where colors or black are not a full saturation. I converted to "Black and White" in the Win XP printing preferences, however it just comes out with a purplish hue, which tells me that it is using color to print black.
Also, even though in the Bonjour setup I selected "Generic/Postscript" driver, the Windows XP printer driver states "HP Laserjet 4550 PS". Is this OK?
I have searched for a solution but I have no idea what could be the issue. I am hoping I just need to tweak the Windows XP Printer config a bit.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
But after about 3 test prints from either the Windows "Print Test Page" or from other applications like IE, the output is all washed out and unsaturated.
Is this what I am to expect? I should have bought a network printer instead of a USB printer!
Crap, I threw the box out already.

  • Printer Sharing and Windows Sharing with Windows Vista

    Today I tired setting up a printer sharing network over my linksys wireless router. I turned the printer sharing on and the windows sharing on my mac. Then I launched my notebook with vista on it and installed Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3. Once the installation finished I ran the wizard and installed the shared Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer.
    Once I finished the wizard I gave the printer a go.
    I tried printing a word document on my Vista machine using the new wireless set up and nothing happens the printer queue gains the document spools it and then it's gone. Then, I tried using Vistas Sharing set up. After setting up another printer icon (the same printer). When I go to print I get an error message.
    Also when I try accessing my shared folder from my vista machine. I use my Username and password for the login. The computer responds that my Mac Mini's username and password is incorrect. Thus, I cannot fileshare between by Mac Mini and my Vista Laptop
    What can I do to get my printer sharing and my windows sharing set up to work.
    (also, my Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Printer is hooked up to my mac mini through USB).
    Please respond
    Thank you

  • File and Printer sharing on Windows 7 Through Group Policy

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to enable File and Printer sharing on Windows 7 Through Group Policy. I have enabled the policy called: Allow inbound file and printer sharing exception.
    But when I go to advanced sharing settings, it's still turned off.
    Windows Server 2003 AD Domain, and I'm using the Group Policy Manager from my Windows 7 machine to edit the policy.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, there is no Group Policy setting for enabling and disabling File and Printer sharing. To do this, you may need to write a script and you can go to our Scripting Forum for help.
    In addition, I would like to share the following with you:
    Enable or Disable File Sharing for a User or Group by Using Group Policy
    Network and Sharing Center Group Policy Settings
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

    You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

  • Canon Pixma MX300 Printer sharing through Windows PC

    I have a canon mx300 printer hooked up to a windows pc and share it wireless throught aiport extreme with a Macbook pro and Macbook. Thing is I can not use the CD that came with the printer to install the drivers on the MACS. They will not work when I try and connect to the printer throught the windows pc. I can not even find the Pixma MX300 on the mac printer list yet they sell it on the apple site.
    I have gone to canon site and downloaded the latest versions of the drivers but when connecting through the windows pc those versions still do not work. Only thing I have been able to do is try a preloaded driver found on the Mabook Pro/Macbook but they do not work 100%. Paper feeds funny and colors do not work correct. Any recomendations.

    The easiest thing to do is install Bonjour for Windows on the PC. Then, your Mac will be able to find and use the printer.
    However, from the Mac's point of view, the printer is no longer a Canon printer. It is a Windows printer and you have to go through the Windows SAMBE printer sharing features.

  • Can't use correct driver for Canon MF4140 USB printer shared by Windows XP

    Hi all,
    I have a Canon MF4140 printer connected to my Windows XP desktop machine via USB. The printer is shared and I can see it over the network with my MacBook running OS-X 10.4.
    I've downloaded the OS-X version of the printer driver from Canon, but I can't select it when adding the printer in OS-X, so I can't access any of the printer settings. I've selected the generic driver but that doesn't allow me to do double sided or 2-up printing.
    Is this because the printer driver does not support network printing, as the printer doesn't have a network interface?

    I guess this isn't clear on the iFelix page. To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in Gimp-Print. You can look around for other CUPS drivers, but Lexmark hasn't been cooperative with driver writers. Here are the CUPS driver sources:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

    You may find it easier to share from OS X.

  • File and Printer Sharing between Windows 7 RC and XP

    I was wondering if any one has successfully networked Windows 7 with XP? I have several machines on a home network, only this one on Windows 7, all the others are XP Pro. While I can browse and access files on the XP machines from Windows 7, I am unable to access files on this machine from any of the XP machines on the network. Also have been as of yet unable to print from this machine to a shared printer on one of the XP machines. When I try to add the neworked printer to this machine, I get an access denied error. There must be some prmisions settings I am missing some where.
    Any help would be apriciated. If this queston has already be ansewared in another post, I apologize as I did search unsucsesfuly for the solution.

    Quote from "Jimbo45" on Windows 7 forum...
    http://www.sevenforums.com/network-internet/4602-xp-7-printer-sharing.html
    I've posted on this before but to share Printers attached to XP computers with either X-64 or X-32 versions of W7 is SIMPLE. These instructions are for the Printer attached to the XP machine (but works in reverse as well).
    ("Stand alone" Network printers can be done slightly similarly BTW).
    assume the computers are call XPMACHINE and W7MACHINE.
    1) Ensure Printer on XP machine is shared - assume it's called SHAREDPRINTER.
    2) On the Network Browsing on your W7 machine ensure you can "See" the Printer share.
    Now on the W7 machine do the following (doesn't matter if it's X-86 or x-64).
    3) Control Panel==> add LOCAL (Yes LOCAL) printer. I know it's on a Network but hold your horses -- what we are actually doing is "Poodlefaking" the W7 machine into thinking it's running the printer.
    4) Create NEW port==>Local port
    5) Portname is \\XPMACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER
    6) Now W7 will load a driver and you'll be able to print on the XP machine.
    Simple
    (For a "Network stand alone printer") at 4) chose TCPIP port
    and at 5) enter the IP address.
    If the printer is on the W7 machine and you want to print on the XP machine then do the same instructions on the XP machine -- 
    port name in this case will be \\W7MACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER
    It worked fine for me, I wonder why Microsoft don´t give this method as default?

  • Cannot print on printer shared by Windows Seven computer...

    Hello,
    I've been experiencing recently an intricate problem:
    I have these devices:
    . 1 laptop Asus with Windows Seven
    . 1 laptop IBM with Windows XP Pro
    . 1 MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.2
    . 1 printer EPSON Stylus DX6050
    My printer is connected in USB with my Asus (connected via ethernet on my LAN), and shared so I can launch printings from other computers.
    When I try to print a document from my IBM laptop (via wifi on my LAN), it's working perfectly.
    When I try to print a document from my MacBook Pro also via wifi, it's not even responding !
    I tried everything, installing Bonjour on my Asus running with Seven, shutting down firewalls and antivirus, everything... still not working... I couldn't find any help on apple.support.
    Please help me solve this problem !
    Thank you...

    There are a number of requirements with the Windows 7 and Mac OS X setup. If one of these requirements is not met, then the printing will not be successful.
    *Windows 7 Setup*
    Windows 7 introduced a new sharing feature called HomeGroup that is supposed to replace the workgroup for home networking. However, the feature only works for Windows 7 connected to other Windows 7. Therefore, if the Windows 7 computer has been configured to use HomeGroup, the first thing you need to do is detach Windows 7 from the HomeGroup.
    The next setting is the network profile for Windows 7 computer. Windows 7 provides four network profiles; Home, Work, Public and Domain. Based on the network location you choose, Windows assigns a network discovery state to the network and opens the appropriate Windows firewall ports for that state. Ideally the computer should be set to the Home or Work profile. The Public profile restricts the network discovery and closes a number of ports via the internal firewall and therefore needs to be avoided for local sharing.
    With the network profile selected, another setting within the profile that can hinder the discovery of the shared printer is the network discovery setting. With this setting turned off, the Windows 7 computer will not appear under the respective workgroup (or if the setting has been changed after the computer was seen by the Mac, then it can appear in the workgroup computer list but will not show any shared printer - this is most likely due to the LAN manager timing). This setting can be accessed via Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings.
    Also, within the Advanced sharing settings for the Work or Home profile, another setting called Password protected sharing can stop the shared printer from appearing. With this setting turned on, the Win7 computer will still be seen when adding the Windows shared printer, but after selecting the Win7 computer, the shared printer is not displayed as no prompt is given to enter user account details. So this setting needs to be turned off. Then when the Win7 computer name is selected, a prompt will appear requesting user account information. The Guest account can be selected here to see the shared printer name.
    *Adding the Printer*
    Now that you can see the printer share, the next step is to add a printer driver that will support the printing via a Windows computer. You need to be aware that some vendor drivers do not support this type of connection. In this case you need to use a CUPS based driver, such as those provided by the Gutenprint driver set included with Snow Leopard. You may need to reload your SL disc and run the Optional Installs package to get all the Gutenprint driver for your model.

  • Can't find printer shared on Windows machine

    I don't know how to connect my MacBook Pro to a printer shared by a Windows machine on my network. I have the Windows path to the printer but I don't know how to get Leopard to see the printer. (I tried the Windows tab in the Print and Fax control panel.) Can someone please tell me what is going on?

    Okay, some things you need to confirm for me.
    What is the workgroup name of the computer sharing the printer?
    What is the ip address and subnet mask of the computer sharing the printer?
    What is your Mac's ip address and subnet mask?
    If your Mac and the PC have the same subnet (usually the first three numbers of the ip address) and the workgroup name is the same, then you should be able to see the share. If not, there is a manual method of connecting to a Windows share.
    What you need to do is customise the add printer browser. After selecting to add a printer, control-click next to the More Printers icon to see a menu. Choose Customize Toolbar. Move the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Now click the Advanced icon to see a new menu. Change the top menu to Windows Printing. In the field after smb://, you can enter the computer name or ip address of the sharing computer, followed by a / then the printer share name. For example,
    smb://192.168.40.12/Canon
    Note that sometimes you have to also use account information in the queue name, especially when the guest account is disabled. In these cases, the queue name would be entered as follows;
    smb://username:password@computer_name/printer_sharename
    Once you enter the queue name you can then select the printer model. For some models of printers, you cannot use the driver supplied by the vendor. So you have to look at using CUPS based drivers such as those provided by Gutenprint.

  • Printing from MacBook to a printer shared through Windows Vista

    Hi Everybody,
    I'm unable to print anything from my Mac laptops to my HP printer which is shared via a Windows Vista PC.
    I have a wireless home network with a PC, a latest model Powerbook G4 15"/1.67 and a MacBook Core2Duo. The PC is connected to an HP PSC 2355 All-In-One printer.
    When I had Windows XP SP2 installed on my main PC, I was able to print from my Mac laptops through Samba (Advanced printer, smb://guest@myIPaddress/printersharename) without any problems.
    I recently upgraded my PC to Vista Ultimate (RTM Technet full version). Now, I can no longer print via my Mac laptops, since supposedly, Vista's implementation of Samba has changed. I can, however, print from my MacBook when it's running Windows XP SP2 without any problems. This leads me to believe that the sharing-side on the Vista PC is set up correctly. The XP to Vista over wireless printing obviously doesn't use Samba. The Vista share does not have a password on it.
    I've installed the Foomatic/HPIJS drivers on both my MacBook and the Powerbook. These are the errors:
    Powerbook: "Unable to connect to SAMBA host"
    MacBook: "The process "foomatic-rip" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
    I've tried all kinds of combinations for Samba, and also via the option "Windows Printing". My PC is in the same network Workgroup as the Macs, and they can see my Vista PC fine. I can also connect and share files with my Vista PC without any problems and connect through Samba using Finder (for file sharing). I cannot, however, see my shared printer through the Windows Printing dialog.
    Can anybody help me out?

  • Turning Off file And Printer Sharing And WMI

    Apart from client push deployment of SCCM Client,is there any reason to leave WMI and File/Printer sharing port opened? Are there any other features in SCCM that requires any of them to be opened
    Can i do a manual installation of the agent without opening both ports?

    Hello There,
    Configuration Manager needs to have the WMI and File\Printer, because it is essential for the installation of the client. Once you go to the console and chose a machine to have the installation if you follow the
    ccm.log you can follow what I’m saying. SCCM Server will try to access the remote machine’s administrative share (\\<remotehost>\Admin$) and it will try to access its WMI.
    WMI is essential for SCCM server, clients and Site Servers to work properly, and you can try to access a remote machine using WBEMTEST, just open a command prompt with admin rights and type WBEMTEST, this will
    bring you the Windows Management Instrumentation Tester, just click connect and before root\cimv2 type
    \\<remotehostname> of the machine you are trying to perform the client push operation.
    This operation can better visualize at the link:
    Configuration Manager Client Deployment Data Flow: CCMSetup Installation Process
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694034.aspx
    This blog is amazing if you want to understand client push troubleshooting, and with that understand why WMI and file\printer share are so critical during installation.

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/sudheesn/archive/2010/05/31/troubleshooting-sccm-part-i-client-push-installation.aspx
    At this blog you will really understand in a troubleshooting\functional way why the WMI and File\Print is so important..
    Still you can check the ports configuration for SCCM and see those you really need to use.

  • Printer disconects from windows networking with Client32

    Hi,
    I have a printer attached to a Windows 2000 box. It is shared with windows
    networking.
    I have a remote client that cannot see the shared printer while the IPX
    protocol is loadaed.
    I unsintall the Novell client, remove the IPX protocol and the printer is
    there.
    If I reinstall the client, the connection to the printer is lost
    Any Idea what may be wrong ??
    I tried installing the client only with IPX and IPX/ip and nothing works
    Thanks in advance,
    ernesto Fox

    It is most likely an MS Browser issue.
    How is the MS Client configured? IP? IPX? Does the network involve
    routers?
    We are really moving beyond NW Issues, but I suspect that Different PCs are
    becoming master browswer and generating different lists of MS Network
    resources.
    While potentionally not the most efficient design, you may want to ensure
    that IPX is loaded for all of the MS Clients, that the IPX frame-type if
    forced on all of the PCs. etc....
    Now that recommendation would be to ensure easy browsing of MS resources in
    a simple network.
    If you can get your hands on some free LPD software for setting up LPR
    printers on your Windows 2000 this would be very easy.
    W2K ships with the ability to print to LPR but not host LPR printers. XP
    comes with both I believe.
    http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?12500000037640 is a free copy or LPD
    software.

  • PL45 Print preview and PDF file with SN

    Hi, we upgraded to PL45 and everything is working well other than one issue.  The issue is with print preview and converting to pdf files when item list with SN is involved in a form (e.g. Delivery and Invoice).  SBO will crash with file dump.
    Is there anyone having similar issue?  If so, how was the issue was resolved?
    If anyone is at PL45 could you let me know the names of the documents when printing "Delivery" form with items tracked by serial numbers?  I suspect it is this document that's giving us problem.
    Thanks.
