C4210 via printer server connections problem

Hi,
I have a C4210 and I want to use it trough a USB printer server.
The printer server is a D-Link DNS 323 network storage.
I can see the printer in network, I can install it, but doesn't want to print.
This happen in Windows 7.
I already try to run your printer driver removal program and after install driver.
Looks like is a driver problem.
Under Windows XP work with drivers provide with the printer.
If you can indicate me a basic driver to work, I appreciate.
Thanks

Unable to print to HP LaserJet 1000 via Print Server

I have a HP LaserJet 1000, TP-Link TL-PS110U (USB, Ethernet Print Server), TP-Link Modem Router (TD-W8961ND - 300Mbs Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router)
Operating System: Vista Home Edition
I can ping the Print Server (IP address: 192.168.1.110) from the laptop wirelessly.
I can print directly to the printer via the laptop when connected via the USB cable.
However, I get an error message in the job queue when trying to print wirelessly. I have contacted TP-Link for their input, however, they do not seem to be able to resolve the problem.
Can you please confirm is there is a compatibility issue. If it is compatible, could you please suggest how this should be set up?
(By the way, when I tried to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor, I got a 403 error message from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=uk&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/ccdoc/p...
Kind regards

Hi Jools1964,
The HP Laserjet 1000 is an Host-Based printer, as listed on TP-Link's compatibility guide the print server only support the PCL or Post-Script printing languages, therefore the HP Laserjet 1000 is incompatible wit the print server:
http://www.tp-link.com/resources/document/TL-PS110U_Compatibility_List_2.pdf
PCL and PS are supported by our print servers. If the printer is not on the list, please check the
printing language by yourself. If it is PCL or PS, it should be compatible with our print server. If
not, it is more probably incompatible.
As you may find listed within the printer specification it is a Host-Based printer:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/learnUseDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=45674...
Printer languages: Windows host-based printer command language

Printing via printer-server fails

I recently bought a Surecom EP-4904AX broadband router to connect a Windows-ME PC and my 15" 1.67GHz Powerbook G4 (MacOS 10.4.8) to the internet simultaneously. The broadband router also has a built-in printer server which connects to a USB printer (in my case this is a Canon S-500).
Now, the Windows PC prints fine via the router/printer-server, but not the Mac. What happens is that I get a progress dialog, but close to 100% it just stops. The printer doesn't respond at all.
Having read that normal printer-drivers don't work in setups like this I downloaded and installed the Gutenprint/CUPS drivers instead (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3).
The printer still doesn't respond when trying to print from the Mac. What am I doing wrong?

Did you say you have this working on a PC?
Yup. Works fine there.
The router came with an installation CD for Windows (but not for Macs as always).
Here's how
to get the needed info from the PC -
(Sorry, this is oriented to Windows XP)
I've got Windows ME, but the principle should be more or less the same I guess.
Go to Printers & Faxes and right-cick on the printer
and select "Properties."
Go to the Ports tab and note the Description
(highlighted in blue on my PC). Standard TCP/IP port
or internet port are most likely.
Nope. It's different here.
It's assigned to the following port:
Surecom_1 (CanonS500192.168.1.1)
If I click on that setting I'm shown a list of all sorts of different ports (COM1, COM2, USBPRN1, LPT1, LPT2 etc.) where "Surecom_1 (CanonS500192.168.1.1)" is one of them.
There's also a button for port-settings which I press and get the following:
Printer server IP: 192.168.1.1
Printer name: Canon S-500
Click on Configure Port.
Here you'll find the IP address, and protocol
selection, and port number or queue name. If Raw is
checked and port number 9100 entered, that equals HP
Jetdirect protocol on OS X.
Hmmm... this seems familiar.
If I click on the button for printer queue settings there's a part for "queue data-format" and this is set to RAW. The only other option available is EMF.
Gimme a few minutes to try this out (using "HP Jetdirect -socket" which I've never used before).
YES, it works!!!!!!
But all's not a joy as the print quality isn't much to write home about. I printed out some text, and it's pretty weak (gray as opposed to black).
I assume this is because of the printer-drivers because I've experienced the exact same thing when I tried installing Linux on the PC. Printing was just as bad there, but within Windows, using the supplied Canon S-500 driver it prints razor sharp and black text is actually black.
Or could something else be the problem?
As mentioned earlier I'm using the Gutenberg/CUPS printer driver package and chosen the Canon S-500 driver, so it should be correct.

All-in-one printer via Print Server

Hello-
I'm trying set my HP PSC 1610 All-In-One printer up to be shared and get it off the desk and into the closet. I'm thinking that a little printserver would handle this quite nicely but I'm concerned about how scanning would work through the print server. I can't find any information about this online and since the 1610 is not network enabled by default I'm worried I won't be able to scan. Any experience with this?
Thanks.
troy

HP wrote its OS X drivers to ONLY work via USB. If you can find third-party drivers, you may be able to get it to work. Networkable OS X "CUPS" print drivers:

Can't connect to printer via usb print server

So I've tried to connect to an EPSON stylus printer from my iMac via a print server with no success.
Here's some info to help focus the questions/help:
iMac running Mavericks, Epson SP R200 printer, Belkin Play router, Toshiba Satellite laptop, Level1 USB print server
Win8.1 laptop prints via print server just fineso IP, port, firewall issues on router/print server side are ruled out.
I have the fire wall off on the iMac
I've quadruple checked IP and subnet numbers of iMac to rest of network, and they all jive.
I can pull up the config page of the print server via Safari on the iMacso connectivity is there
I previously had the printer attached directly to the iMac, and successfully printed.
I've tried to add the printer via IP > LPD method AND Advanced > Windows printer via spoolss
I can get as far as adding the printer, but as soon as I attempt to print a test page the printer has a "filter" error, or some "color" error, the job just goes into nothingness, or the job just sits there and the que is paused.
This is very frustrating to put it nicely.

What driver are you using? - Don't know if you remember, but you had to be using Gutenprint, because Epson's driver for USB-only printers, only works via USB.

Trouble printing to a parallel printer over a router via a print server

My G5 and my Windows laptop once happily coexisted (past tense) using a Linksys Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41) which also fed a Linksys PPSK1 10/100 Ethernet Print Server connected to my trusty dusty NEC SuperScript 1800, one of the greatest monochrome laser printers ever made (1200 DPI and lightning fast!) featuring only a parallel interface. This nifty arrangement allowed me to print over the router and through the print server to the Superscript. Then one fateful day, OS X 10.4.1 installed itself on the G5 via Software Update. This most recent OS had some kind of personal problem with the Linksys router and nothing I did could not settle their petty squabble. After 45 minutes on the phone with a Linksys guy named "Raj" I gave up. I bought a NetGear Cable/DSL Router (RP614) and magically, my PC and my Mac started getting along, happily cruising the net together once again. But the Linksys print server must have gotten jealous: He refused to work with the new Netgear in town. I have now laid the foundation for my question: Does anyone know how I might get the Linksys Print Server to play nice and let documents printed over the Netgear router find their way to the NEC Superscript?
Thanks loads.

Greg,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I added another printer using LDP protocol, specified the address as 192.168.1.100, Identified the que as "LPT", then, on a hunch, clicked the "More Printers" button. The dialog box defaults to AppleTalk in the Local AppleTalk Zone and after a brief moment the "Name" of the printer appeared as SCF** (Hex) which, lo and behold, is the name of the PPSX1 as printed on the bottom of the device! At this point I selected the NEC's PostScript print driver and VOILA! Super duper 1200 DPI PostScript output, just like the old days!
Man...whew! Thanks again. Your Guru status is well-deserved.
Regards,
Bill

D-link DPR 1260 Print Server nightmare

I have a D-link DPR 1260 print server connected via ethernet to my network. I have set it up so I can print to an Epson Picturemate240 from a PC running XP. This works fine.
I have read all the posts everywhere on the DPR 1260 and so far nothing can make it print from the imac, running Leopard. I can add the printer using LPD and the print servers ip address and printer queue name but nothing happens.
I get the following error /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.1 failed, does this mean there is a problem with the mac before to gets to the print server?
If I cannot solve this problem now it is going in the bin!
I have not attempted to set it up wirelessly yet as there is no point unless I can print from a Mac.

Thanks for the info Greg
I reset the printing system but I still get the same error message. I tried using HP and LPD but still no luck.
If I connect the printer directly to the mac I can print fine and I have two other network printers connected directly to the network which work fine. It is only when I connect a printer to the print server that it goes wrong.
any other ideas?

Linksys Wireless Print server and my Mac G4

I just set up my linksys wireless print server and it's printing from my PC just fine - not so on my G4. My printer is a Canon Pixma ip5200, and the appropriate drivers etc are installed.
I know the IP address and have tried setting up the printer via IPP (and pinged it from the mac successfully). Just no success printing. The printer utility looks like it is printing to the printer but nothing comes out.
Any ideas?

You won't be able to get this to work.
The Canon printer drivers won't allow you to connect to and print to a Canon printer attached to a wireless print server.
There is no solution, there is no way that this can work
You have three solutions.
Replace the Canon printer with another printer for which the drivers will work.
Replace the Canon printer with a networked Canon printer such as the iP4000r (or any other network printer) in which case you won't need the print server
Connect the Canon printer directly via USB to the computer to print.

Mac and Linksys Wireless Print Server

I have a wireless print server connected to an HP 940C that I cannot get my iMac to print to. It finds it on the network, but is not printing. Any ideas??

It is probably a driver issue.
It may work with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.
Though for 10.3, this guide may also help.

6122 printer & ew2400 print server

We have a Deskjet 6122 and EW2400 printer server connected to wireless router. No longer able to wirelessly print from my Thinkpad. A blank page spews from printer. Can print from my Macbook and from our other PC though. When connected directly to printer it does print. I've disconnected/reconnected printer, print server, router. I'vve uninstalled/reinstalled printer driver and rebooted numerous times. I'm able to wirelessly print to another printer (at my office), but cannot print wirelessly here at home. Suggestions????

It appears the product you have is a commerical LaserJet.
I recommend posting in the commercial LaserJet forums.

Powerbook and Linksys print server

Hello All,
I have a question which I believe I know what he answer is. I have a new Powerbook. right now, I am using a Linksys Print Server connected to a Epson inkjet printer. This is networked in my home windows environment. When you add a new pc etc, the Epson drivers are installed first than the Print server drivers. However, it seems there are no Mac driver etc for the Print server per Linksys. So basically, am I stuck with adding a dedicated printer to the powerbook or taking the print server out of the equasion here and letting one of my windows pc be the print server. No an option that I really wanted.
Thanks,
AlRoz

Al,
Before you do all that, try some of the options Tiger gives you. In the Applications folder there is a Utilities Folder. In there there is a Printer Setup Utility. Open it, and click Add. At the top there is a Default Browser and IP Printer. Click IP Printer. In this window you should be able to set up the connections so your powerbook can talk to your printer thru the ethernet printer server.
Hope this helps

Lion 10.7.5 cant connect to printer via Buffalo print server

Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end with this one having spent over 20 hours on it.
I have a Macbook Air running Lion 10.7.5 and a Macbook running OSX 10.6.8. I have a Photosmart 8050 printer attached to a Buffalo Linkstation Live LS-CH1 running firmware 1.60 (the latest version for this model). The Linkstation has a printserver which is attached via USB to the printer, the Linkstation is attached to a wireless router, for amound other things, wireless printing.
The long and the short of my problem is, I can get the Macbook running 10.6.8 to print without a problem, works fantastic, but I can not get the Air running 10.7.5 to print through the print server even though the printers are installed the very same way on both machines. The error from the print que is "unable to connect to printer" even though it seems to connect successfully to the Linkstation, as in my setup a username and password must be entered to access the printer, even though a user is logged in to the file server. Not to get confused, I am 99% convinced the problem is with the Macbook Air running 10.7.5.
I installed the printers using the Windows method, Workgroup -> Linkstation -> Printer then selecting the HP 8000 series driver version 5.0.4. I have also tried every other install method available, however as I understand it, this is the recommended method for this print server setup.
I have checked the network setup, driver versions and even though it does not seem to cover my printer have GutenPrint 5.2.9 installed.
The printer does work when connected directly to USB however.
If anyone has any idea why I cant get the Macbook Air running 10.7.5 to print via the print server on the Linkstation when 10.6.8 works perfectly, then please HELP!
Thank you

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait for few minutes.
Connect the router back to to the wall.
Power the router back on. Wait until all lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Problem connecting to Canon i960 through Dlink DPR1260 print server

With the help from another thread, I was able to install the driver for my Canon i960 for iMac OS X 10.7, and the printer works perfect with USB connection. However, when trying to setup the wireless connection via Dlink DPR1260 print server, I keep getting error:" An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Unable to communicate with the printer at this time.". I believe I followed all setup steps correct for adding printer with IP (LPD, IP address, Queue name, and selected Canon i960), as I was able to get the wireless setup for MacAir without problem. Wondering whether anyone had any tips getting iMac to work with the print server. Below are the screen shot of the setup and error.

Thank you, PAHU, this solved a problem I've been having for quite a while.
I have a Canon Pixma iP4200 connected to a DSL router (an SFR Neufbox 4, issued here in France by the operator SFR). With OS 10.6 on my daughter's MacBook Pro, connecting to the printer through the print share function on this DSL router worked fine using the printer drivers supplied through Canon and Apple. Then when we got an iMac with 10.7, impossible to get it to work. I had exactly the error shown by louiema above.
But now that I installed Gutenprint 5.2.9, I was able to configure the connection instantly, and now I can move my printer back where it belongs, and not have it sitting on the floor beside my desk.
Brilliant ! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I will now share this solution with my francophone community.
