Can't Connect to My Network Printer Anymore: Brother 7065-DN

I bought my Macbook Pro in 2010 and never had a problem connecting to my home network printer until a few months ago. Ever since I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 I can't see or access the network printer. My daughter, who bought her Macbook Pro at the beginning of the year, pre installed with Mountain Lion, has no issues seeing and printing to the printer. I tried reinstalling the driver from my disk and it wouldn't take. I tried downloading the Brother driver from Apple and the specific driver's and updates for my printer, nothing. When I am lucky enough to see it on the printer list, it won't print, saying that the printer cannot be located. I have tried (when it does see it, which is random and weird) using the IP address and then the driver from the list, I also tried using the post script general. I have tried adding the IP address of the printer in the printer set up, I have tried adding the MAC address, I've tried clicking it when it occasionally shows up under my work group. I tried installing it while it was connected directly to the laptop...Nothing....I've turned on printer sharing, file sharing, and anything else I can think of...I am at a loss!
The two Windows PC and the other Macbook in the house can connect via the network, no problem. I even tried to look at her settings to see what was different but I couldn't figure it out. What is really frustrating is that I am working on my degree and need to print regularly, so everyone else in the house has to stop what they are doing, open the file I sent them through e-mail, download it, and then print it. It irritates them and me!
I have a standard router n/b/g and a comcast modem. One desk top and three laptops connected to it. Internet access works fine. Printer is a Laser Jet all in one scanner/printer Brother 7065-DN. I have downloaded all the updated drivers from Apple and Brother. Someone please help!! I am going crazy and wasting a lot of time messing with this that could be better spent on my homework!! Like I said, it worked fine until the upgrade!!

Can't connect to a networked printer - Airlink101 USB Print Server

I am new to Mac. I am trying to connect my iMac to a Brother HL-5040 laser printer through an Airlink101 USB print server over my wireless network. The iMac connected to the 802.11g network immediately without any issues which is more than I can say for the other XP machines I own. I have several other Windows PC's networked and they all print just fine. Using the print setup utility, I can find the networked print server and add it to the printer list; however, I can not print. The status monitor indicates that it can't connect. The install directions on the Airlink101 website for the Mac does not seem to match the options that are part of the "add a printer" utilility. Any help would be appreciated.

We try to print but the queue just continuously pauses and nothing gets sent to the printer.
This could be a result of the protocol you selected. IPP is the default listed. If you remove this printer and add again, but this time change the protocol drop menu to HP Jetdirect-Socket, see if this works better for the user.

MBPr 15 2013 with 10.9.4 can't connect to a network printer

One of my users is having an issue connecting to our network printers (Ricoh 5502a) at the office with a MBP retina 15" on 10.9.4 with the latest printer drivers etc. installed. She is set up on one printer that we set up a while ago and it prints no problems. However she moves around the office a lot and needs to be able to print to other printers. When we try to add another one of the printers it finds the printer with the IP, it auto-detected the driver, then when I click next, I get an error stating there was an "error connecting to the printer would you continue anyway?" I would try to continue and it states it is connected to the printer and it seems fine. We try to print but the queue just continuously pauses and nothing gets sent to the printer. This issue is only happening with her system every other mac user on our network has no issue adding the printer including me. Please help!

HT4356 Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?

Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?
or must the printer I want to use also have a wifi connection ?
I have a home network using ethernet connected devices to a router, also attached to th erouter is a WiFi unit. We are using the WiFi unit to connect to the network and hence to the big wide WWW. We now want to print from our IPads pereferable to our netowk connected HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a series. (not the wireless model).
I was using the HP ePrint app to print from the Ipad, but I do not fully understand how this works. It seems that you must use the app to do the printing which is fine for basic email and photos, but I can not access the drawing package I have, and want to print from it. Please what is it that I do not understand.

You must use an airprint printer directly connected to wifi through it's own wifi card.

Upgrading to xcode and can't connect to the network

Hi! I use a C++ library in my application which connects to the network (I suppose it uses sockets). I've been using it for months and I was using xcode 3.2.4. Now, I just had the great idea of upgrading to xcode 3.2.5, and I found out my application was crashing with the error:
If you are encountering this problem running a simulator binary within gdb, make sure you 'set start-with-shell off' first. 3.2.5
Ok, couldn't solve it, so went back to 3.2.4, as suggested somewhere. The application is not crashing anymore, but now the library can't connect anymore to the network. Tried to rebuild it (I didn't write the library but I have the sources) and use the new library, but nothing. Still the library can't connect to the network. I tried with every simulator.
Any idea what there could be wrong and how I may be able to solve this? Can I somehow delete manually everything related to xcode and the simulator and try to start all over again?
Thanks!

I've been able to temporarily solve this problem by removing the entire Development directory and installing again xcode 3.2.4. Even with xcode 3.2.4 however, the same happened, and I had to do this procedure again. Now it seems to be working correctly, but it seems something very strange has happened. Hasn't anyone experienced anything similar?
Thanks!

Hi @OHIMATAS,
I see by your post that you are unable to network the printer to the Windows XP computer, but the Windows 7 computer is connected. I can help you with this.
Make sure the Windows XP computer is connected to the correct network name, not a Guest network either.
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Try and access the printer's Embedded Web Server on the Windows XP computer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
Did it load the webpage?
If you can't access the printer's EWS, then check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer's IP. They have to match to be on the same network.
Go to start, type run in the search box, type in cmd, then type ipconfig.
Check the IPV4 address.
Now check the IPV4 address for the printer.
Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?
Try and ping the printer.
In the same window, type ping printers IP address (space between ping and IP address)
What are the results?
Run the add printer wizard through printers and faxes, if you were able to access the printer's EWS.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Windows 8, Error: "Can't connect to this network"

I have wracked my brain, my colleague’s brains, and used my googlefu to no avail.
I have a Win8 basic (cheapest OS) HP tablet 1000G2 that I am having troubles with. I have a network that requires WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP. It will not connect to this network, it will however connect to a neighboring network without
any security settings. I have fixed this issue once before and the same fix is not working.
The kicker... I have another exact same tablet that we got the same day... No issues connecting
Problem: It does not take the security settings that the server is prompting for. It prompts me for my credentials, but gives this error: "Can't connect to this network"
I did research last time and the collective reason was that the security settings weren't correct.
Solution that worked last time:
Connect to a network with open sec settings.
Open network and sharing center
Change adapter settings.
Right click wireless adapter click status
Wireless properties.
Security tab.
Change my network settings
Reconnect to my network
The tablet has been fine until today. These steps above do not resolve the issue anymore.
THERE IS NO VIRUS PROTECTION BESIDES WHAT WINDOWS OFFERS ON THIS DEVICE!
Troubleshooting steps I have tried: deleting all the wlan profiles with
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/manage-wireless-network-profiles
and used http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-networking/windows-8-laptop-wont-connect-to-the-wireless/256c8bd2-e11f-4746-b3aa-3e6eb8305b56 page.
Change any properties one at a time that I thought might deal with this.
Removed all HP bloatware/3rd party connection managers.
Troubleshooting I tried last time:
Uninstalled and installed adapter drivers.
Tried the windows diagnose
Googlefu "Can't connect to this network" and you come up with a bunch of pages I have clicked on them and none of the solutions have worked.
Please if you have any solutions let me know! I am at my wits end with this dang thing.

These are all logical ideas, but alas I have already checked all of this. We do not have any blocking other than credentials(which are not locked and are correct). The amount of connections would be determined by how many IP Addresses that I have(which is
a ton). Not the wireless router, because we have many other devices that connect to it just fine. No mac filter. No the other pc isn't connected. No it is only connecting to one network.
I should mention that this is in an enterprise and not an at home network. It is a WAP not Wireless Router.

Hey ronniefai,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a prompt that your printer is offline. This may be due to a printing job that is currently in the queue. Are you able to see the print summary when following these steps?:
Viewing the Print Summary
You can view the Print Summary by double-tapping the Home button and swiping to the right to reveal Printer Center. Then tap Print Center.
Note: Print Center is available only while printing is in progress.

If so, see if you can cancel the job. If not, what happens when you re-connect to the network that the printer is on?
Thanks,

Can't connect to wireless network with Apple Computers (WRT54G)

Hi.
I have had a password protected router (WRT54G) for over two years that any pc will connect to if I give them the password. However, my roommate has an apple laptop and he can't connect, no matter how many times we try. I just got an ipod touch, and it can't connect to the network either. We are inputting our password correctly - why can't apple computers connect to my wireless network??
Again, my router is a WRT54G.
Thanks !!!

Make sure you enter the correct password...To check your Wireless Settings follow this link
If your Wireless Security is WEP then use WEP Key1 and not the Passphrase, make sure to enter a dollar sign on your Apple Computer when you attempt to connect...If your Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then use the WPA Shared key and no dollar sign is required...

Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

Windows 10 Build 9926 - Can't connect to this network in certain networks

Hello
I have a Samsung 700T tablet.
Since I got the latest update 9926 I am having issues with my corporate network access. I have to type in my user name and password on the wireless connection. When I do I get "Can't connect to this network" message.
I have tried multiple drivers for the network card a "Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6235". I am currently using latest.
I am able to connect fine with my home Wifi.
On the "System" event log I get the following error message when I attempt to login no the WiFi.
"A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 42"
Any ideas?
I have checked and my card is set to use DHCP.
God bless,
Bruno

Have you tried talking to your system administrator? We had a fun bug in our Cisco wireless access points and wireless controller that would
kick Win 8+ machines from even trying to connect. A very long firmware and software update process fixed it.
--- answered back ----
Hello DatAsian,
Thank you for your response.
This is a very large wireless network, and as far that I know I am the only one having this issue. My other devices on the same cube work fine. The only difference is of course Windows 10. The other machines are Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.
In the past this was caused by a driver, but I have gotten about 6 different version of my wireless driver and they all have this issue.
I read on the troubleshoot about entering the wireless configuration manually by using the "Hidden network" screen. The instructions go:
2. Tax or click to connect to a network
3. Tap or click Hidden network tap or click Connect and then enter the network info.
I cannot find this "Hidden network" text on the "Connect to a network" screen. Am I missing something? Do I need to check something that allows me to connect to Hidden network?
One thing that I forgot to mention. I need to enter my user name and password when I enter this wireless network, since this is Employee Own device network.
Any other ideas?
God bless,
Bruno
When I use an android device I had to do the following changes to the way the device connected to wireless:

Is there a way to set windows to the same type of authentication?
Please let me know.

How do i connect to a network printer or map a network drive?

I have a MacPro on my work network and can only attach to the networked printer via IP address. The printer driver is on the print server and I have a path name but I do not know where in my MAC to input the network path/drive.

First install the printer driver on your Mac. Then add the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. Beyond that, specific settings for the printer & protocol depend on the printer & network. You may need to call your helpdesk for assistance. Exactly what make/model printer is it, and how is it set up on your network?

Can't connect to external network

Switched from a Netgear router to a Cisco E2500 and now my Samsung blue ray won't connect to internet.
It says physical connection established but can't connect to external network.
Thank you for any help in this matter

Before I suggest you for any kind of troubleshooting steps, I would like to ask few questions. Let me know the name of the ISP. Leaving Samsung TV, do you have any computer which can access the internet wired and wireless? If yes, what IP address do you get in the computers?

HT4260 I did everything the article suggests. And for my macbook pro it works perfectly. But all the other devices (iphone 5, 4, Macbook Air) can't connect to the network. Anybody any idea's?

Try resetting your modem. Power it down. Wait a moment, then power it up again. While it resets, do not change what is connected to it.
In another, though unrelated article, Apple recommends the following:
If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.
This step really ought not be considered optional for the configuration you propose. If the problem persists after resetting your modem, reset everything else too.
