Bonjour Weird Printing Issue Windows

I have windows xp ruuning inside of parallels on a powerbook. I'm Running bonjour on the windows side so I can print to my lexmark printer which is hooked up to my G4 desktop via USB.
When I print from my laptop wirlessly from my laptop on the mac side...no problem. When I print from windows side, it talks to the printer ( the lights come on) but nothing prints. Here's the weird part. If I open text editor on the mac side ( you can switch back and forth between mac and windows) and print some basic text, the printer works, then if I immediately try and print a word document from within windows it prints ?
Any ideas ? Is it a port issue > firewall ? Am I opening a port long enough to print through ? Can I fix this ?
This is a workaround, but not veru user friendly.

Hi,
Could you please send the test document to shilpi at adobe dot com for us to investigate the issue at our end?
Thanks,

Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 Print Issues - Windows Crash Error (2 Sided)

Have recently had issueswith our upgrades from 10.1.1 to 10.1.2 in regards to the following:
When printing 2 sided on a Fuji Xerox Firefly C4400 Atheros, application crashes after printing first 4 pages.
Thus, have tried the patch fix that was recommended on cpsid_92870 however this has not fixed the problem.
Have also tried the solution with the duplexing but still same issue, Windows crashes.
Have also tried solution to remove Windows patch KB4332667 and still same issue.
Screen shots will be provided upon request with the errors.
Currently running:
Windows XP SP3
Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2
Printer Drivers are the latest and over 500 users on network. 485 are working on 10.1.1 which do not have this issue.
Is there any solution or 10.1.3 patch release that will address this issue?
Last Adobe user to work on this was Atul.

Sonal2890, thanks for your inquiry and I will try to provide as much information as possible.
1. What happens if inspite of using 'Print on both sides', you check Duplex setting from Properties dialog (As you do previously)?
      The Adobe Reader X Shuts down and is unable to print and displays a message stating it has incurred a problem. Please note, we are running IE7.
2. What happens if you print with any other application (Word/notepad)
     The documents print fine. IT is only when you print this particular document which is enabled in protected mode and double sided. Have tried the patch and the resolution of unticking the duplex methodology and the issue still persists.
     Crash Logs have already been submitted already. Have added the SEnd Error Report that was provided when the error occurs. The PDF stopped printing after page 6 of a 236 page document and provided the error above.

DO you need Bonjour for printing on Windows?

I'm just wondering if Windows PCs connected to the AIrport Extreme need to have Bonjour to print? On our Macs there is no problem. We see the printer as a Bonjour printer. The problem is that we have a lot of clients who come to our office who have PCs and we don't want to tell them that they have to install Bonjour on their laptops just to print. Any ideas?

No you don't. But since AEBS doesn't have DNS support, you will need some kind of name resolution in order to find the printer (or any service) on your network. Bonjour for windows provides this function. If you insist on not installing it, you can assign a static IP address to your network printer, and use this fixed IP address when you add a new printer.

Adobe Reader Update causes weird printing issues

I recently updated my Adobe Reader to Adobe Reader X. I have a Toshiba with Windows 7 68-bit I believe. After updating to Reader X, I noticed that when I go to print a document, the print settings in Adobe are default set to Print on both sides. I was only printing 1 page so I ignored this and just hit Print, but what happened was really bizarre. The printer printed a blank 2nd page, and then Adobe prompted me to reset my even-numbered pages in the printer to proceed with double-sided printing. If I uncheck the Print on both sides option, I have no problems, everything prints fine. I understand there's already attention called to the bug in the update that defaults the print settings to Print on both sides and has trouble saving new settings. I don't care about that. This is what bothers me: Adobe and the computer and the printer and whatever else is involved should be able to communicate properly that if only 1 page is being printed, it need not print a 2nd blank page and basically force me through the double-sided print process if there's only 1 page, right? Isn't that sort of common sense? I don't mind having to uncheck the Print on both sides option when I go to print just 1 page, but it seems ridiculous to me that I should have to.
Just so you know, I installed the same Adobe Reader X update on a much older computer with a much older printer and had the same problem.
I am wondering if this is an Adobe problem or a printer problem. Neither of the 2 printers I tried this on do doulbe-sided printing automatically. They both require manual help to print on both sides. Will printers that automatically do double-sided printing also send the page through twice even if there is no 2nd page? Then this probably wouldn't be such an issue, if the printer did the double-sided printing itself, I wouldn't care if it passed the paper through twice.
But given that not all printers are equipped with automatic double-sided printing, this then becomes a real pain if I forget to uncheck the Print on both sides button because I then have to go through this entire 2-page process for 1 page. And my printer is in a common area, not right next to my computer, so it adds a lot of back and forth trying to print just 1 page.
Also I read up on previous posts about the default Print on both sides setting, and read one employee's comment that Adobe simply retains the last default setting used for printing PDFs. This is not true. Since my printer at home does not do automatic double-sided printing, I never ever ever use any double-sided printing setting. Even when I do print on both sides, I print odd pages first, flip them over and reset them in the printer, then send a second separate job to print even pages. Same with my work printer. I understand that by defaulting to the double-sided print setting, Adobe is sort of tricking you into saving paper and that's great and all, but all printers don't do double-sided printing automatically. I ended up wasting double the amount of paper last night trying to print a document last night while figuring this out, so way to go.

Dear user,
We would request you to check your version from Help-> 'About Adobe Reader X' because we doubt that you are using an outdated version of Reader. Please update it to 10.1.3 because it was a known issue in 10.1.2 which got fixed by 10.1.3.
I would also request you to check your printer side setting from Control Panel-> Devices and Printers-> Right click Printer-> Printing Preferences-> Search for 'Print on both side or duplex printing' option (generally its under 'Finishing' tab)-> Uncheck it there if you are not using it.
Hope this will resolve your problem. Let us know the result.
Thanks

Weird printing issue between reader 7 and 9

Hi, I just was made aware of an issue by one of my users, regarding printing a PDF file. I recently replaced his computer, both the old one and the new one are XP Pro SP3, the old one has reader 7, the new one has 9. The file in question is laid out legal (8.5x14) landscape and I believe it was created in Acrobat 4.x. It's a production schedule, roughly 10 pages. The left half side of each page has a list of items, and the right half has checkboxes for our manufacturing process. The guy printing the file is in shipping, and he just needs the left half of the page and is trying to print it as letter portrait. Under reader 7, we are clicking File, Print, set it to No scaling, uncheck Auto-Rotate and Center. If you look in the preview window, you see the legal/landscape page, but there is a white letter/portrait box over the left side of the page, and the right side is grayed out. Click OK, and that's what it prints. This is good.
Now, in reader 9, if we do all the same things and print the file, what prints is the right half of the page, which is grayed out in the preview. This is happening on his new computer (xp pro sp3, reader 9) as well as on my box (win7 ult, reader 9) and happens on multiple printers. Only thing I see different is the reader version. Has anyone else ran into this?
Thanks in advance,

Weird DFS issue Windows 8.1 clients

One of my users noticed something peculiar when working on text or document from a DFS share.
The user will save changes and leave the doc open. Preliminary tests show that around 10min+ is when user receives an error, "THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE PATH SPECIFIED". The user hits the "OK"
button and is presented with a "SAVE AS" dialog in the same working directory. User hits "SAVE", dialog warns of an "overwrite" and hits "OK" again and text or doc gets saved.
I was able to reproduce the problem myself. I opened an online stopwatch and set a count down of 12 minutes. Every 3 minutes I added some text and hit save. All was well until the last 3:45. I added some more text, hit save and BOOM - error occurred, "The
System cannot find the path specified".
The two servers that hold the DFS share are Windows 2012 R2 boxes. One sits in the LA site and the other in Chicago. According to the output from "get-dfsrbacklog", there is no backlog between the DFS servers - all appears sync'd. Also, logs
appear clean except a few of errors in the event log and DFS replication health report regarding sharing violations.
Anyone seen something like this? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

Hi,
Please run DFSUTIL /PKTINFO on the client to check if the client referred to Off-Site DFS namespace targets and also check if the DFS root information was missing in registry:
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DFS\Roots\Domain"
If so, we could export the same registry from a working DFS server and imported the same on the server and restarted the DFS service to check the results.

Mandy

Bonjour printer on Windows XP's stops working after reboot

Hello!
We have a AirPort extreme with an HP LaserJet 1010 connected to it. AirPort Extreme also serves as a gateway and DHCP server for the LAN.
Installing the printer on the local machines running Windows XP thru Bonjour works fine and all the documents are printed correctly. The printer is being installed as a single default printer on the system.
However, printer stops working after Windows XP machines are rebooted (the next morning). The installed printer keeps accumulating documents in queue and not spooling them to the printer. Issue could only be resolved by adding a new printer (which also works fine).
It seems not to be a connectivity problem as XP machines access the Internet thru the AirPort Extreme without any problem. Bonjour printer setup wizard also instantly sees the printer and is able to install it correctly. Mac's in the same network (iBook G3 and PowerBook G4 with Tiger) are not affected by the issue.
Any ideas on how the situation could be corrected?
- Baglan

Did anyone find a solution to this.
I have a HP Laserjet 1020 attached to my Airport. Using the Bonjour program on my Windows XP computer it found the printer attached, and added it to my printers. When I print all seems ok - it appears in the printer queue, then disappears as though its printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Printing Issues with HP OfficeJet 100 and Windows 8.1

We use HP OfficeJet 100 mobile printers and have a printing issue.When we print the printer acts as if it is going to print and then prints one blank page.Printer will not print even though it is showing as default printer.Printer will just stop printing in the middle of a document, even in the middle of printing out a page. We are printing via the USB cableWe are using Windows 8.1We are connecting to laptopsWe have been using the HP mobile range of printers since 2004 and have only experienced these issues since we moved the laptops onto Windows 8/8.1 We have:Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers – this fixed this issue for a short while and then it reappeared againCalled HP support and they directed us to the driver support page which had the latest print drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with them on the phone. This initially fixed the problem and then it returned a few days laterAfter trawling the support forums found directions to change the print processor to “WinPrint” – No effect as the processor was already on this settingDownloaded the HP diagnostic tool – HP Print and Scan Doctor – didn’t fix anything Any further help would be much appreciated.

Hello there Lawrence, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I noticed your post about the troubles you are running into when you attempt to install your OJ 6100 printer on your Windows 8.1 laptop. I read all of your attempts and seen you have tried several methods to try and get the installation to complete successfully.
I would like to make some suggestions that may help. Let me know how it goes!
1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
Try to install
2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
How to disable realtime scans
Try the install
3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
Try the install
Enjoy your Monday!

Printing from windows Bonjour through imac 10.4.8 to HP6200

I have a Windows XP PC with Bonjour. I have an HP Officejet 6200 hooked to new intel/imac via USB running OSX 10.4.8 I can print from imac no problem. I installed Bonjour on windows xp PC. Bonjour configures print que no problem and I see the printers in the printers and faxes window on XP. I print and nothing happens. The app sends it into the clouds - you dont see it in any of the print queues?? please help
I also tried to print from the imac to the HP when it was connected to the windows XP machine but only garbledy gook came out. I understand that is some sort of GIMP thing thats why I am trying to print from the Windows PC through the iMAC

Closely related problems - driver.
Print queues on the Mac expect to receive postscript as input. Change driver on the PC to a color postscript driver, like Apple Color LaserWriter xx.

HP OfficeJet 2544 Windows 8.1 Printing Issue

Hi there,
I am having a frustrating problem with my HP OfficeJet 2544. It happens all the time if I want to print anything more than one or two pages, and it only happens to me on my Desktop PC (i.e. my wife's laptop doesn't experience the issue).
What is happening is this: I send a document (multiple pages) to the printer, and then after the first page or so, I get a Windows 8 error message popping up saying the document couldn't print. The printer then spits out whichever page it is currently printing, usually half printed. If I want to print a multi page document, I have to print it one page at a time. I can't even send it to the printer in groups of 2 or 3 pages!
The printer is connected wirelessly, but I don't think it is a wireless issue. We have good strong signal in our house, and in any case, if it was a wireless connection issue my wife would have the same issue, which she does not.
I thought there was some bug in my Windows 8.1 installation, so I did a clean reinstall. This did not fix the issue. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers (did not work either) and clearing out the Print Spooler folder (again, no luck).
The only thing I can think of is that a while back the HP Update program said there was a Firmware update for the printer, which I installed. But if this was the problem, I imagine it would be affecting my wife's Laptop too?
I am getting fed up with the issue, and as I am doing a part-time degree I have to print multi-page documents from time to time! Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello @SamuelH82
I have some ideas that come to mind when I read through your post about the printing issues you have solely from your computer, as the other computer works find with the printer.
The printer hardware proves to test out alright, as the other computer does function fine with it.
I would suggest first running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results. This alone could help fix the problem.
Also, try printing from other programs. Do they all appear to have the same problem?
Disable any firewalls and anti-virus' temporarily. Try printing again to see if that helped.
How far is the printer from your computer, and what are in between them that could cause interference? Having the computer and printer too close could cause disconnections.
Let me know the results thus far and your findings.
Enjoy the rest of your day

IPhone 4 AirPrint printing issue (AirPrint Installer 1.3 for Windows)

I have been trying to get AirPrint working on my iPhone 4 (CDMA/Verizon) for a while now without success
I know that the AirPrint feature is designed to work with AirPrint compatible HP WiFi printers (as Apple dropped support for OS X), though I have no plans on buying a new printer when I have 2 perfectly fine printers shared on the network, let alone one specifically designed to work with AirPrint
I have tried out AirPrint Installer 1.3 for Windows (running on WinXP MCE 2005), but can't seem to get it to work properly
After installing AirPrint Installer, I was able to see one printer from the iPhone (from a laser printer shared from another computer on the network), and was able to send a print command from the iPhone to the XP MCE computer, but I kept getting "Error-Printing" from the print que (on XP MCE)
After sharing a printer connected locally (via USB), I was able to print from my iPhone once successfully, but nothing from the iPhone would show up in the que on XP MCE since
Since then I have also shared the Microsoft XPS Document Writer (saves "printed" documents to an XPS file) as a way to tinker around with AirPrint without wasting paper, ink, and/or toner, and was unable to print from it
Now whenever I attempt to print from my iPhone, I have the option of 3 printers, the shared laser on a different computer on the network, the local inkjet via USB, and the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, selecting any of them will then give me a message with an image of a piece of doggy eared paper saying "Printing to "<Printer Name>" Sending to Printer" as if it's about to print, but there is no change on XP MCE, the print cue shows nothing, and nothing prints and I don't get a popup asking where I would like to save (when using the XPS Document Writer), yet I can print fine from the computer itself
Also, I have noticed that after a while, the printers will disappear from the list (on the iPhone) one by one, and I have to constantly uninstall and reinstall AirPrint Installer, only for it to not work again
Am I doing something wrong? I have updated iTunes, I don't have a software firewall, and I am pretty sure I have installed AirPrint Installer 1.3 correctly
I have also tried using AirPrint Activator and AirPrint Hacktivator on my MBA, but I only have Leopard on it (haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard yet, and may not for a while), so AirPrint Hacktivator will close unexpectedly (constantly), and AirPrint Activator gives me an error saying I need at least Snow Leopard, so I would really appreciate it if I could get AirPrint Installer 1.3 to work

I have been having exactly the same problem as Mike's original problem as well as this problem as well. Originally, i couldn't get the iphone to see all my shared printers. I have an Epson RX580 ink jet all in one printer and a HP P1006 laser jet printer. They are both shared printers. Both are able to be printed to from other wired and wireless computers in my network. They are both showing as ready when I look at them in the printer/fax window.
I'm using Window's XP SP3 with all the latest updates. I originally down loaded a german version of this AirPrint Installer 1.3. It didn't have all the bells this version does. After DL'ing this version AirPrint Installer 1.3, My Verizon Iphone 4 with 4.2 OS could see the printers on my network.
When I try to print an email or picture. I takes me to the screen on the iphone to choose the printer I want to use. When I choose either printer and click the "Print" button, it takes me to a screen that says "Communicating with Printer" with an image of a page of paper with the edge turned down. After about 30-45 seconds the screen reverts back to the email or picture. After another min or so, a message will pop up saying that the printer is offline with one button that says cancel and another button that says continue.
If I look at the print que for the printers, there is nothing in the que, but when I high light the printer in the printer/fax window some extra options become available that aren't there if there are really no jobs in the cue. One of the options on the left is the option to cancell all print jobs. When I click this, the computer looks like it does something cause the screen kind of flickers and then the option dissappears.
I would really like to be able to print pic's straight from my iphone and would love to get this working. Would really appreciate any help with this issue.

10.6, Parallels 5, Windows 7 (64), Bonjour and Printing

All
i am having trouble getting Bonjour (1.06)(64) set up so i may print from Windows 7 in parallels to a USB printer attached to my mac mini.
The parallels documentation tells to select the Generic printer and the Generic Postscript.
Bonjour "sees" the printer, however, i am not able to select a Generic Postscript.
suggestions?

The purpose of selecting generic postscript is to make windows send postscript to the Mac side, which then sends the right codes to the printer.
Are you able to select any model/driver? If so, just find a postscript printer model (like HP Laserjets) and use that.

Yet another Windows Printing Issue

I've searched the net and these forums all afternoon trying to resolve my printing issues. I've followed all the common links posted by people who are tired of explaining the solutions to no avail. I do have the Gutenprint 5.1.3 driver installed. It doesn't list the 2100TN, but lists the 2100.
Gear:
Windows 2003 Server
HP LaserJet 2100TN Printer attached shared through Win2k computer on the local network.
PowerBook G4 (wireless)
I've been successful printing in the past with this equipment. I'm not sure what happened, except I do remember resetting the print services on my Mac a while ago. That wiped out all my printers. That must have been because I lost print capabilities to the LaserJet.
Any help is appreciated. This is a work environment and I need to print with my Mac fonts.

Greg
Thank you for trying to help. The work environment is a Windows 2003 Server, about 10 Windows 2k computers on a single domain. The HP printer is connected via the printer port on a Reception desk computer and shared as 2100TN. Let's call this computer Shubunkin. Shubunkin shares the printer to all on the network, including (hopefully) my Powerbook G4, which is connected via a wireless router. The G4 accesses the network folders via Samba - smb. The IP address of Shubunkin is in the same subnet as the other computers.
Long story short, I have spent many hours trying to figure this out on multiple occasions. The last time I was connected was by a $100/hr tech that helped sort out some networking issues we were having after a move. At the end of the day, I asked him if he could take a look at my Mac and get the printer working. It took all of 10 min., but I'm not even sure he knew how he did it. He's a Windows tech. I do remember the printer showing up somewhere in the printer browser (AppleTalk maybe) on my Mac and choosing it. It was late and back last October.
I want to be concise; I'm just not sure what information you all need to help. I do appreciate any efforts!!
