Can see, but can't print to network printer in Panther Server

I'm running Panther Server 10.3.9 in a vLAN with 16 OS 9 clients. They all
print to 2 Xerox Phaser 6200 and 6250 network printers. I am unable to print
to either one from a G4 running Server 10.3.9. I have limited desk space so a USB-attached printer, while
more convenient, is impractical. When I run Classic from the Server, I can print to the Phasers.
*> that means that OS X is seeing the printers. When you print in Classic, what*
*> happens is that the Classic drivers (LaserWriter 8) hands off the print jobs*
*> to the appropriate OS X drivers, which do the actual printing.*
Although I'm using OS X Server, I don't have Print Services turned on. I never could get the OS 9 clients to print the way I wanted and I didn't want to have a single point of failure for 16 clients if the Fileserver (Panther Server) went down. So they print to the Phaser themselves using, as you said, Laserwriter 8.
I can connect to administer them both with a browser.
*> this definitely means that you can see the printers.*
Yes. Everytime. I can reset them and anything else I want to do administering them with a browser (Safari).
I have all the drivers I should need (new re-installs), but print jobs stop every time.
*> Does this mean that the drivers are installed and are visible in Print & Fax?*
Yes. I have both a 6200 and a 6250. Both drivers are visible.
Is there a log file or some way I can see why these jobs fail?]
*> There are logs, some of which are visible in CUPS using the browser.*
>
*> What error messages are you getting?*
What is CUPS? I've heard of it, but don't know what it is or does. I think when I had ServerAdmin running a lot, there were CUPS files that were taking up hard drive space and I had to periodically delete them in Terminal.
I'm not getting ANY error messages. It's like the print job just evaporates before it gets to the printer. There are never print jobs showing in the list under the Print Queue.
FWIW, I can see the Phaser 6250 (but not the 6200) under Rendezvous printers.
I've tried AppleTalk, IP printing, and Rendezvous. I can always see the printer, but can never print.
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
Do you have any pearls of wisdom?
Thanks

I was having the same problem, and basically it comes down to Epson not having driver support for networking. The solution, install better drivers!
Go to: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php and download the latest version of the drivers. Once you've installed them go to Print & Fax in System Preferences, delete the last print setup (the little minus sign), add the new one but importantly from the driver menu select the Gutenprint driver. That should solve the problem, certainly worked for me!

Can see, but can't access Time Capsule

I just installed the Time Capsule. Wi-Fi works. I can't figure out how to access the time capsule hard drive from the desktop that is wired to Time Capsule. I can see it in the work group, but it will not access it. I disabled the firewall and it didn't help. I have laptops connected throught Wi-Fi, but I can't figure out how to make them "see" the Time Capsule either.
THANKS!!

Do you have a computer plugged in by ethernet? If not do so.. press and hold the reset for 10sec if you still have no access.
You may even need to remove it completely from the network.. plug directly into a computer with no other connection.
Once you have access take the firmware back to 7.5.2 as the later versions are specifically for Lion and do nothing but add bugs for every OS.
Then the following need fixing.
1. All names are wrong for SMB.. change to short no spaces no special characters.
2. Fix and lock the wireless. Use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
3. Set a separate name for 5ghz.
4. Use wpa2 private security.. set passkey as above.. no spaces pure alphanumeric 8-12 characters.

Users can see, but can't open image files

We store all of our digital photos (jpg's) on an Xserve RAID attached to an Xserve.
Twice in the last 3 weeks I have started getting calls from staff members to tell me that they can see the files but can't open them.
The jpg files aren't recognized.
If I click on a file from my iMac I get the following message:
"Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that preview doesn't recognize."
If I reboot the server. The problem goes away. The files aren't corrupt and people can access them again. I saw this three weeks and then again today, so it's not like it happens every day.
Even though I connect from a Mac, most of my users are Windows users connecting via Samba.
We are using RAID Admin: 1.5 and Firmware ver.: 1.5-1.5.xfb
Mac OSX Server is 10.4.1
Any ideas why this happens?

Does the same thing happen with files that are on the local drive? That would be the first thing I'd check.
Any reason you're running 10.4.1 server and not 10.4.3? There were tons of fixes in 10.4.2 and 10.4.3 around the file system... I'd recommend the update strongly.

USB Drive Connected to Airport Extreme: I can see, but can't access

Connected one printer and two USB hard drives through USB hub to Extreme. Printer works ok. Both Drives are visible in Finder, but won't show files. Tried to copy files through Finder to each USB drive and got an "Error Code 8058". Tested each drive directly to Mac and worked fine, so it's not a drive compatibility problem. Thoughts on what may be wrong?

Tried what you suggested last night - no change. What is odd, though, is that I can create a new folder on the external USB HDD (through the Hub) and copy a file into it. While I can then close Finder, re-open and see the Folder and file I copied, I still can't see all the data that is currently stored on the drive...Is this a delete and re-copy scenario?
Thanks!

Can see but can't hear

i'm having a problem with the sound when i try to use ichat. i have successfully talked with people over ichat but i usually can't hear and see them at the same time. i can connect with them and hear them over the audio successfully. i also can't connect with people, they have to invite me to chat. it's frustrating because i have successfully communicated over ichat, but i can't initiate it or get it to work on my own.

Hi,
Umm Comcast.
They claim that they offer a VoIP telephone service that DOES NOT use SIP and therefore should not interfere with iChat.
The Netgear may need some tweakes.
Here is a page that allows you to find out the default Access info (As well as Port Forwarding Instructions).
Check the UPnP menu item to see that it is active (it should be by default)
In the WAN page check the item that Disables DOS or SPI (you will have one or the other). They block what they think are attacks based on how much data is coming to you.
IF the modem is in Bridge Mode and passing the public IP to the Linksys then you may also have to disable WAN/Anonymous Ping Blocking.

Can See But Can't Hear YouTube Movies

I am trying to watch YouTube movies, and for some reason I can't hear them. I can hear my iTunes when it's turned on though. All other normal sound functions seem to be working fine, except movies loaded on the internet. Any help is appreciated.

Go to your Utilities directory, go into "Audi Midi Setup"
Make sure your Properties for: is "built in output" (in the middle)
then check to make sure the Audio output format is 44.1khz and not 19.2khz.
If that doesn't wotk open and close Garageband.

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

Can see but not connect to other computers on my home network

New laptop running 8.1 replaces crashed one (also ran 8.1). After setup, can see the other computer on Home Network (uses Windows 7). That one can also "see" the new laptop. ( Both computers appear in the network folder). Neither
will connect to the other. Get "cannot access message, check name etc."
Both computers are in same Homegroup, tried all the tests mentioned in support . . .everything seems set properly. Ran through all the network and homegroup diagnostics fine. Tried connecting with both firewalls disabled.
Is there a solution I'm not aware of? Others seem to have similar if not identical problem.

Hi wrkeen,
Please share more details about this issue：
1. Provide the error messages for better analyzation.
2. What solution have you done to test the homegroup?
If we enable the network discovery, we will be able to find other computers or devices on the network.
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Run the network troubleshooter to exclude the network issues. For more information, please refer to the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-windows-7
2. Go through this path Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings and check if we correctly configure file sharing and other settings.
Please take a look at the following article about troubleshooting file sharing.

Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express? I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection
shows limited. Any help you could provide would be most appreciated. Further, should I simply buy another router for the windows machine? If I did that, would it interfere with the airport?

The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS. This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
You can connect to an external HDD via a USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
Hope that helps!!

i wish it works for you too..
"All you need to do is to open registry editor by going to
Start menu, Run, typing regedit and then Enter. After that, in the
registry editor, walk yourself through the tree in the left pane,
till you reach
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

And then on the right pane, right click and click on New,
select String value, enter "wavemapper" (without quots of course),
ENTER, type "msacm32.drv", ENTER.
Close the editor. No need to restart. Video on Google and
YouTube et al would work fine now."

That means either your graphics card does not support 3D or that there is a problem with your graphics drivers. See if your GPU maker has an update.

Error When Printing on Network Printer

I am trying to connect to a windows network printer through my MacBook Air. I can connect to the printer via the windows network and can send documents to print.
The document goes through to print but at the last second it says there is an error.
When looking on the network windows computer, in which the printer is installed, I can see the document has gone through to print using the printer dialogue box for microsoft, but it details there is an error and the document doesn't print.
It seems that they are connected but there is still an error.
Both Windows and Mac computers are up to date currently and the printer is a HP Deskjet F4180.
Appreciate any help.

The problem is that HP wrote their driver(s) to only use the comm protocol they wanted to support. In your case, bonjour via USB (&/or Wifi?).
You need a different driver - that can use all the standard comm protocols available in OS X, like Windows printing.
(remember that I don't have your printer to test this)
Try the 3-part driver set hpijs from here (it says for 10.8, but others say it works with 10.9):
