Can't connect Bonjour Printer since 10.4.6 Update

OK. I have a Dual Processor PPC G5 and up until the OSX 10.4.6 update, I had been using (without problem for over a year) my HP Officejet 7310 All-In-One Printer, using OSX 10.3.?. This connection is through a LAN at my home via a Netgear Router w/Printserver connection. Immediately after installing the OSX 10.4.6 Update, I lost my printers and when I try to re-install, the utility sees the HP 7310 and indicates it as a Bonjour type. I select it and it acknowledges the printer and automatically finds the driver. When I hit "Add", it gives me the following error message:
"An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer."
"client-error-request-value-too-long"
This happens every time I try to add it. I have gone to HP's website and made sure I had the latest driver, tried resetting printing system and Printer Setup Repair. Still the same result.
Anybody have any suggestions?
BTW, my name's Jim, can't find a way to reset the darn alias.

Shazzi,
Have you repaired permissions on your start-up drive using Disk Utility in addition the disk check and repair that you did? By the way, what kind of errors did DU find when you checked and repaired your disk? Did it complete the repair?

  • I can't connect to iCloud since the iOS 7 update - on either my iPhone or iPad!

    PLEASE HELP!!!!  I can't access iCloud on my iPhone OR iPad since the iOS 7 update!  It asks me to sign in, displays an old email address I don't use anymore and won't give me the option to CHANGE the email address - so OF COURSE my password is going to be wrong! 

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your current password. Turn it off on both of your devices, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

    I have recently changed my internet provider and have tried to reinstall the printer software but it wont find the printer and says that i need a usb cable which i dont have. Can i connect the printer without one? Its a photosmart all-in-one c4380 printer.

    Have no idea, no model number of printer.   You can always buy a USB Printer cable.

  • Still can't connect to WiFi since iO6 upgrade on my iphone 4s

    Still can't connect to WiFi since yesterday's iO6 upgrade on my iPhone 4s.  Plus battery life is horrible!!

    If you are having the issue where it takes you to a login page, goto Settings > WiFi and tap on the blue button to the right of your network name. There'll probably be an option to auto-join and you'll want to toggle that. If it's off, turn it on then back off. If it's on, toggle it off. If prompted to login again, just hit Cancel in the upper-right. Now goto Safari app and you should be prompted to connect to your network at which time it should work. It did for me at least and a friend of mine.

  • Can't connect to yahoo messenger, iTunes, anti-virus updates, etc..

    I have a wireless router and ever since I started using it I can't connect to yahoo messenger, iTunes, anti-virus updates, etc.. but the rest of the internet works fine. I've checked firewalls and everything seems fine.  I've searched on here and have seen some similar posts but no solutions.  Do I just have to give those things up to have a wireless connection??

    I think that the router is blockingthe messaenger or other services to open..... try upgrading the firmware ... once upgraded ...reset & reconfigure the router ....

  • I can't connect or print wireless

    I have the hp photosmart c4780 and I used the USB wire to connect it to my computer after installing the software off the internet as I lost the software it originally came with. So with that being said, on my little Eee asus netbook windows 7 I can print with the printer when it's connected via USB only! Also I use my printer mainly for printing coupons or documents, and if anyone's familiar with <a href="http://www.coupons.com" target="_blank">www.coupons.com</a> then you'll know they have an app for most all tablets and smart phones and so I downloaded it on both my ipad 2nd generation and my iPad mini, and I was able to print coupons wirelessly via the coupons app only, not via the <a href="http://www.coupons.com" target="_blank">www.coupons.com</a> through my safari browser. So I'm just not sure why I can't get it to connect wirelessly, when I went through the installation and set up process I went through the option of switching to wireless rather than USB and I thought it went smoothly but any other way I try to print from my computers or iPads it will say that the printer isn't discovered. I've also made an account with th hp connect, I've got the eprint hp app on both iPads and I'm having no luck! Also, my printer is just now I'm noticing also, offline i dont know how that happened, but when I printed the wireless network test report along the top it's saying that &quot; MAC ADDRESS FILTERING MAY BE ENABLED ON YOUR WIRELESS ROUTER, THIS CANT PREVENT YOUR PRINTER FRIM CONNECTING TO YOUR WIRELESS NETOWRK DURING SETUP. IF YOU DO HAVE MAC ADDRESS FILTERING ENABLED AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT ENABLED YOU MUST ADD THE MAC ADDRESS OF YOUR PRINTER TO THE LIST OF PERMITTED DECICES FOR YOUR WIRELESS ROUTER BEFORE CONTINUING. THE MAC ADDRESS FOR YOUR PRINTER CAN BE FOUND ON THIS TEST REPORT.***&quot;<br>And I can see below on the print out where my MAC address is, however this isn't helpful because I don't know what MAC address filtering means nor if it's bad or good, or how I can change it accordingly. And in the diagnostics summary below it says NO FILTERING: FAIL<br>I'm unsure as to what that means?<br>So if anyone can help me I'd so greatly appreciate it,<br>I also tried to find that claim code that I was supposed to be able to find when i do the print out on my printer and I can't see it on the test report or the configuration page.<br>So, so far I've just reset the printer itself to default settings. And from here...well...as you can see..<br>I NEED HELP!?!?<br>Please and thank you!

    Hi HBS4026,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I think that the root issue you are experiencing is the printer is not connected to your wireless network, and as a result you are running into several issues.
    wikiHow’s How to Find the MAC Address of Your Computer has a nice and non-techie description of what a MAC address is and how to find it.  By turning on the MAC filtering for your router, is a way of telling your router that only the devices with an approved MAC address will be allowed to connect to your network. 
    Most customers with home wireless networks don’t use this feature, as it can take more time to maintain than a person would like to give.  It requires that you add/maintain the MAC address of any device that will be connecting your to network, including, but not limited to, iPads, tablets, Smartphones, iPhones, computers, laptops, etc.
    Please start by turning the router off. If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please disconnect the power cord.  After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn the power back on (or plug the power cord back in).  Hopefully the network test report will give us a pass on No Filtering.
    If MAC filtering is turned on (I suspect it is on) and you don’t want to use this feature, please contact the manufacturer of your router on how to turn this off.    I do think this is the root of your connectivity issues.  
    Once you have confirmed that MAC filtering is off  we should be able to get everything working wirelessly by following the information below.  
    Let’s start with your Windows 7 laptop.  I’ve included the How Do I Find the Best Windows 7 or Windows 8 Driver for My Printer? document.  It will walk you through downloading HP’s Printer Install Wizard.  This will also help you connect the printer to your wireless network while ensuring you have the right driver for your printer.
    Once you’re printing from your laptop wirelessly, please try test printing something from the notes app on your iPad.  If your router supports Bonjour, the communication method for Apple’s AirPrint feature, you should have no problems printing.  If you are unsure, I have included a post by Shirlzz1 that will walk you through downloading an app to check.
    As for printing from coupons.com using the Safari browser on your iPad it comes down that the iPad is considered a mobile device requiring the app as an interface. 
    I think I’ve addressed everything that is plaguing you.  If I haven’t please let me know.  In addition, if anything goes askew while doing the above, please let me know at which step things went wonky and the contents of any error messages and where they were displayed.  
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

  • Can't connect a printer to Mac OS 10.4.10

    Hi
    I swapped over computers from my iMac flat panel (OSX Tiger) to a G4 digital audio running Tiger 10.4.10. I am having trouble connecting a printer. I have 2 printers a Laserjet 4100n and a HP PSC 1402 MFC. Both these printer worked fine on the iMac but when I installed GIMP 5.1.3 and the drivers for the 1402 Print centre found the printers but came up with this error messege:
    An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer:
    server-error-service-unavailable
    Does anyone know what this means? I've tried the HP forums and the Apple forums as well.
    Thanks in advance Johnmac

    Hi,
    I'm having exactly the same problem since more than 4 months !
    One day, all my printers disappaered from my printers list, and when I try to add them again, I get the message : "server-error-service-unavailable".
    All the printers are network printers, so the connections are already Ethernet connections.
    I tried resetting the printing system, but it still doesn't work.
    In the "share" preferences, I'm not able to check the "Printers share" box, nore in the firewall settings... The boxes just don't want me to check them ! I'v got no prooblem with the other options, only with those concerning printers share... Can that be the reason why I can't add any printer ?
    Thank you very much !

  • *** I can't get bonjour printing to work and it's DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!

    I can't get my printer to print through my Airport Express and Bonjour and it is now starting to get really frustrating. Here's my set-up.
    - Linksys wireless router as base station
    - AX joined to Linksys network - green light is solid on the AX
    - Have my Xerox 7750 printer connected to AX via USB
    - Using iBook G4
    - Removed all other printers, re-started and then added the 7750
    The problem is, it appears as though the Xerox is connected properly but when I try to test print a page, the print dialogue opens in the dock but a red exclamation sign appears next to it. It says the print job has been stopped. So, I click start job and the bar goes stripes for a few seconds and then goes back to stop jobs and the red exclamation mark appears next to the printer in the dock.
    So I'm at a loss as to how to fix this. I've use the printer set-up utility, I've re-started the computer, I've re-started the printer, it's properly connected to AX and the AX green light is on.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    try putting the AX in client mode. If your linksys is your main wireless/LAN connection out and your AX is set to extend the existing network, your printing and airtunes may not operate properly.

  • Can't find Bonjour printer from Windows XP machine over wireless

    I have a hard-wired windows PC, a wireless Macbook Pro, and a wireless Windows PC (XP) all on the network together. All have Internet access. Only the hard-wired PC and the wireless Mac have access to the shared disk and printer hanging off the AEBS.
    I installed the "Bonjour" software found here on Apple's site, but when I run the utility on the wireless windows PC, it tells me there are no Bonjour printers available.
    It connects (and authenticates via WPA) no problem, so I know there is network connectivity. Why won't it see the shared printer that the other machines can see?
    Is the "Bonjour Printer Wizard" the right thing to be using?
    Thanks

    Instead of using Bonjour (which may be blocked by having ultra-aggressive firewall software installed on your PC) try using the manual printer setup method detailed at:

  • Can't connect to printer through Router - Help!

    Brand new to Mac & getting frustrated. I have a SMC router with a Pixma ip6600D connected to the usb port on the router. I can connect to the internet without a problem and the printer works fine if I plug it directly into the MacBook. However I cannot get the Mac to find it via wireless. I downloaded the Gimp drivers (there is no ip6600D on the list). Apple has no clue, Canon was no help, and neither was SMC. I have spent over 12 hours on the phone with various Tech support folks with no answers. Nobody can suggest a work around or even whether or not a new router will solve the issue. By the way, my laptop PC and desktop PC's work fine interfacing with the router and printer. So much for the "I'm a Mac and I'm as PC" commercials being accurate! Help, anybody!!! Thanks.

    If the printer setup utility in OS X can't find it automatically, do a manual setup by clicking the + symbol in the printer preferences window, then click the IP option at the top of the panel. You can then enter the printer's network IP address and other information manually.

  • Can't connect any printer to Mountain Lion!

    Hi,
    I have some problems connecting and using my HP1006 printer with my new Macbook Pro. I've bought it a month ago, it is 15' MacBookPro with retina, Lion 10.7 was preinstaled on it. My HP worked with my mac like a charm. Lately I upgraded to Mountain Lion and after that I can not connetct my printer at all! MB simply can not see and even detect it. . I've already checked my cabel with another computer - it works. My usb are also ok, my camera and flash cards detects perfectly.
    I've tried everything:
    - I instaled new drivers from apple, (from 8 August) but this didnt help.
    - I renewed disk permissions
    - I even tried to connect another new printer from the store.
    Please advise how can I solve this problem
    Thank you

    In certain cases, automatic discovery does not work.  In this case you will need to type in the IP address of the printer.  You can get this information in the "Print Configuration" menu on the front panel. 1) Apple Symbol/System Preferences/Printers and Scanners2) Click "+" symbol (Add)3) Choose "IP"4) Type in ip address, Protocol:  HP Jetdirect - Socket5) Fill in the name and location per your preference.  6) The "Use:" field should be filled in with the correct choice.  If not, use the "Select Software" setting and choose "Laserjet 4000 Series" Eric
