Brother dcp 9040 cn not printing over airport wifi

i am unsure if this is a 10.6.3 upgrade issue
i have a brother dcp 9040 cn which i have been using for the past year very happily over the wifi airport network.
it has stopped printing over the wifi
it works fine with the usb connection
it appears fine with bonjour & selects ok except when i print over the wifi it tries to connect but never does and then always pauses.
i have upgraded the firmware on the printer from the brother site and have loaded the latest drivers from brother for osx
has anyone got any suggestions?
thanks

10.6.3 came with the latest drivers for your printer.
Try resetting the printing system.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
Don't install any print software.
See if your Mac sees that printer.
If so, select it and see if you can print.

Brother DCP-120C does not print

I am having issues with my Brother DCP-120C. It worked well a while, but now i encounter some problems.
When starting the cups daemon i get this error message in my error.log:
E [13/Jan/2010:19:11:25 +0100] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
I installed the brother-mfc210c-fixed-version package beforehand.
Any ideas?

Additional information:
The cups daemon starts anyway, even with the error message. In the cups web frontend i see my installed printer (MFC210). If i print a testpage or something else, a print job is created but never executed. Cups seems to wait endlessly until something happens.

Upgraded to OS X 10.6.4, now lexmark E232 will not print thru airport

Upgraded to 10.6.4. Updated airport software 7.4.2. Lexmark will not print thru Airport. Will print direct via USB.
Airport utility suggests/shows that it's set up properly, Printer shows up in print & fax preferences. Only differences since yesterday are the software updates.

Welcome to the discussion area, bseidenstat!
This has worked for me in the same situation, but with a different printer. Can't say if it will work for you, but might be worth a try to reset the printing system if all else has failed (and you haven't already tried this)
Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
Open System Preferences, then open Print & Fax
Control-click or right-click in the printers box on the left, choose "Reset printing system" and click OK
Click the + (plus) button to add your printer again
Try to print

Tiger on iNtel iMac "Printing" over Airport to HP 2100M

Nice new iNtel iMac 2GHz running Airport Extreme can't print via Airport to a networked HP 2100M. The HP has an EIO card and it's connected to the LAN by that cable.
I have an old iMac that's hardwired to an ethernet hub that's being driven by the AEB and the HP 2100M is also connected to that hub.
The old iMac sees the printer and prints just fine.
The new Intel iMac doesn't see the HP over Appletalk and I'm not able to figure out how to setup the new iMac to print via Airport using the IP address of the HP printer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here's a 30,000 ft level view of my LAN:
Internet Cloud =>Comcast Cable ISP =>Cable Router
AEB =>Linksys Ethernet Hub
•iMac 350MHz (don't laugh. She's still a beauty) OSX 10.2.8
•HP 2100M with Network EIO card
iNtel iMac (sees the Internet just fine via AEB, but can't see the printer for patootie!)
iNtel iMac 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) HP 2100M with EIO network card, AEB LAN,

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I power cycled the cable modem, AEB, router hub, and the printer and the iMac still can't "see" the printer.
I've looked at the Airport discussions and this problem is a larger issue than the iNtel iMacs. It sounds like it's probably an AEB issue.
I'm running the latest firmware to no avail. It almost sounds to me in the Apple literature that they only support USB printing through Airport. This would be a serious blunder as the business world relies more on networked server based laserwriters than USB dot matrix printers.

Need guru assistance printing over airport to unsupported printer

OK. I have an HP 3650 attached to an Airport Express. In my home wireless network (powered by Buffalo router) there are several windows machines and one mac mini, all connecting over 802.11g.
I cannot print to this printer using the Mac mini, and I guess that makes sense, it's not supported. But I configured the Airport using the mac, and I can print to that printer wirelessly using my windows machines.
In fact, technically, I can even print from the Mac mini - when I'm printing from Windows XP home in a Parallels session. So it drives me nuts nuts NUTS that I can't print natively from OS X, even using direct IP printing and CUPS drivers and whatnot.
Anybody out there got the elite skills to get this thing working? I just can't bring myself to buy a new printer just because "the world's most advanced operating system" can only print to it when running Microsoft software.
tl;dr - how can I hack my OSX to print natively to my HP 3650 over airport express?
Thanks in advance
-Kurt

Have you downloaded the latest drivers from HP? It's a Deskjet correct? There are OSX drivers on HP's support page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&produc t=304535&lang=en

Cannot print over Airport using Tiger

I run a Airport wlan where originally two Macs (an eMac and a PowerBook) were running OS X 10.3.9 and printing over wlan to Epson Stylus CX6400 worked fine. I installed 10.4.4 to Power Book and printing works no more: the printe queue is stopped. You can start it but it stops again in two seconds. Printing by using direct USB connection works ok. Also printing from the eMac using 10.3.9 over wlan works ok. No Airport update has helped. Does anybody have the same problem or have suggestions on what to do?
PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I answear to my own question:
I removed the printer and reinstalled it and now it works ok.
Try this if you have printer problems with 10.4.4.

HP C5180 not printing via Airport

Hello - I've been trying to get our HP C5180 printer to print via Airport. After calling the HP helpdesk their view was that if the printer printed via USB then the fault/problem was with the Airport and that they could not assist any further. Hopefully someone maybe able to offers some assistance.
I've made sure that selecting configuration for our Airport, then the Base Station Option tab, then the USB printer section, that the Airport is seeing the printer - it appears correctly.
Printing to the printer it spools a document through then evantually returns an error message of "Opening printer connection failed. Unable to open the printer connection. Please check your printer connections and check for printer errors".
Can anyone help please!? Thanks in advance.

Could be, that if a newer driver for the printer you have exists,
and is available, it may not have been in the software for it; so
maybe some other printer driver may need to be found to work.
There are some compatible drivers available for free through a
web site; the name is GutenPrint (or formerly Gimp Print) and
there may be a newer driver. Not sure if those work with 10.3.
If the OS you have were not so old, another answer may be
in a new driver direct from the printer manufacturer's homepage.
Guten Print - Gimp Print:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Supported printers for use with the AirPort Base Station's USB
port can be spotty; some work fine and others may require an
other way around their unwillingness to function. There still are
some wireless printer servers out there; not sure if they'd work.
Good luck & happy computing!

I want to share my epson printer over the wifi

I have a Apple mac and currently my Epson deskjet printer is connected to it via usb cable.
My wife and I both have Windows XP laptops and I would like to know if it is possible to send word documents to the printer over the home wifi network.
This would save having to take the usb connector out of the imac and plug it into the laptop, also the imac drives the Epson so much better than the HP laptop my wife uses.
If this is possible could someone give me a link to a guide or jot down a step by step here please.
Then just to be brave is it possible to print documents directly from my iphone for super braveness, my wife's blackberry.

Here is an article on Air Print:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Note that it only works with certain airprint enabled printers and only certain devices.
As for the wireless printing, check your Epson's manual (either in your box or available at the Epson support site); there are certain steps that need to be followed to set it up - on mine, one of the first ones was to copy the Epson's MAC address from the setup window on the LCD panel and enter that in the router's setup website (they may ave changed that now, hence my suggestion to look at the manual for your model).

I cant print over my wifi network with Yosemite

Hi, I've just installed OS X 10.10 on my Macbook Pro and my wife's Macbook Air and we've lost our printers on the wifi network. Internet seems to be working fine over the wifi (120 mb/s) and if i plug the computers in to the LAN connections on the router then I can see the printers OK and printing is fine. Any ideas?Thanks

Brother DCP-150C - Scanner not working

Hi!
I am trying to make my scanner scan but it just doesnt work...It isn't found.
This is what i did:
- Downloaded these files:
brscan-skey-0.2.1-1.i386.rpm
brscan2-0.2.4-0.i386.rpm
dcp150ccupswrapper-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
dcp150clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
(Which is scanner and printer-drivers)
- Extracted them with rpmextract so i got a subfolder "usr" which i copied to /
Now: Printer is working flawlessly, only the scanner makes problems.
Here's the output of sane-find-scanner:
sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01cf) at libusb:002:002
but:
scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
(as root)
I have tried to use the brother-program "brsaneconfig2" by adding my Scanner to it, but it didnt have any use.
What am i doing wrong? I can't think of anything more to do, it's frustrating. Damn binary drivers
Thanks in advance,
Hauke

HP PSC 1410 not printing with Airport Express

I have just purchased this printer. I'm running Tiger on a Powerbook G4.
When I set up the printer with a direct USB connection to my computer, the printer is added with the driver "HP All-in-One 3.0.1" automatically chosen. It works just fine.
When I plug in the printer to my Airport Express, the same All-in-One driver is automatically offered. I chose it, and the printer is added to my list of printers no problem. However, it just won't print. It tries to start the print job, and then the printer icon bounces in the dock with a big red exclamation mark. I try to click on start print job, and the same thing happens - it tries to start the job, but then just stops and the exclamation mark appears.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Thanks
Theresa

The PSC 1410 is not on the list of known compatible printers found at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html - which may very well explain the problem.

Windows 8 not printing on Airport Time Capsule

Windows 8 will not connect with a printer through the Airport Time Capsule.

Ok, thank you.
I am assuming that this printer shows up correctly on the Printer tab in the AirPort Utility ... correct?
Have you updated the Windows 8 version of the printer drivers from the manufacturer's support site yet? If not, please do. If, per chance, HP does not have Windows 8-specific drivers for this printer may be an indication that it is not supported, especially when connected to an AirPort router.
Finally, have you installed Bonjour for Windows on your laptop? If not, please do.

Can't print over Airport network while in Windows XP SP2

Install Bonjour for Windows this fixed my ablity to print via an Airport Base station from Windows.
Search Apple Downloads for Bonjour download for Windows.

Appletalk laserwriter won't print over airport wireless. please help.

i have an old apple personal laserwriter 320 which prints plug and play to my G5 (10.4.4) connecting ethernet (appletalk on) with asantetalk adapter. no problems at all.
i like to share this printer wirelessly by connecting it an airport express base station.
i cannot get my network of powerbook and G5 (all 10.4.4) to print to it, they cannot see it.
1. can it be used wirelessly with the airport express base station?
2. what about airport extreme base station?
3.i turned on appletalk in airport under network settings. how about under airport admin utilities?
i must be setting the network configurations wrong, or is it appletalk or the asantetalk ethernet adapter?
can someone please help me through this setup?

Well, I use an HP-6MP with an AsanteTalk hooked to an Airport Extreme Base Station and I use Tiger 10.4.4 and everything works fine. My wife's dual USB iBook, circa 2001, with an internal airport card, uses the HP printer with no problems. The same setup works with OS 9 too.
I also have an Airport Express hooked up to my livingroom stereo that I use with both iTunes and AirFoil. I've never tried using the Airport Express with the AsanteTalk, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't work since it works with the AEBS.
The startup routine is touchy, the printer has to be allowed to fully complete its warmup cycle before powering up the AsanteTalk. Try disconnecting the power to the AsanteTalk for about 10 seconds while everything else is hooked and powered up, then reconnect the power, the lights should flash on the AsanteTalk, then open the Printer Setup Utility, wait about 10 seconds and the printer should then appear, if it isn't there already. When we have power outages from say thunderstorms, I often have to recycle the AsanteTalk's power because when the power comes back on, it completes it startup cycle before the HP does and printer setting disappears.
It's not a matter of adding AppleTalk to the AEBS or Airport Express. There are no options for that. The settings are only in the computer network/airport settings. Both of your computers need to be configured to have AppleTalk active under the Airport network settings.
And as mentioned before, don't use the yellow ethernet cord.

New HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP Will Not Print Over Network

We have a new HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP. I've assigned it an IP address, static, and it pulls up on it's web interface. I loaded the printer for network printing on our Small Business Server 2003 and installed it on several PCs. No matter what we do, it will not accept a print job, even the test page. Nothing sent to it will print. I've checked print spoolers, drivers, etc. Nothing seems out of place. Any suggestions?
