Can't connect to wireless print server

Hi
Have just got a new MacBook, am in the process of moving over from Windows but I can't get my Kyocera FS-1010 printer working via its wireless print server (Kyocera SB-70).
The printer works fine via USB cable but says its busy when using ipp.
Have tried to ping the print server but it times out.
Everything works with the Windows PCs on the same Lan.
Any help would be appreciated.

Happy New Year Barry,
Thanks for the info. With the Mac you could use the same settings XP uses. The queue is to add the 'ipp' for the Queue name and don't worry about the 631 port - this will happen when you select IPP.
So far clarity, the settings you need after you select IP > IPP are:
Address: 192.168.11.2
Queue: ipp
Name & Location are free text so whatever you want
Print Using: The Kyocera driver - but you could also try Generic PCL Laser if the printer supports PCL. Some vendors drivers don't work that well with print servers, although I would expect that if Kyocera make the print server then their Mac driver should work, but you may want to check as possibly only the Windows driver works when networked.
However until you can get a response from the print server with the Ping then you won't get very far with the above. Seems unusual you can ping XP PCs and vice versa and they can print fine. Pings can be blocked by firewalls although the default software firewall in Mac will allow you to ping. Are you using any other anti whatever software on the Mac that could block the ping?

  • Can I connect a wireless printer to two wireless networks

    I searched and couldn't find an answer to this exact situation. The answers to similar questions didn't seem to work.
    Can we share a wireless printer over two wireless networks without adding hardware or changing the wiring or doing complicated software modifications?
    Here is my set-up:
    Cable Modem> Linksys Wireless Router “N” on the first floor > older AirPort Extreme “G” via ethernet cable on second floor > Laser Printer via USB Cable on the second floor, plus an AirPort Express to extend the area on the second floor. We have 2 MacBooks and 1 MacBookPro that connect to the internet via either of 2 wireless networks. Generally, for better connection, you choose “N” if you are on the first floor and “G” for the second floor.
    Currently, if you want to print to the USB Printer, you just select it in the print dialog box. It does not matter if you are on Network “N” or Network “G.”
    We just added a new wireless Printer that’s on the first floor. (No, I didn't read the directions, the printer screen said if there is a W?? button on your router, press it. I did and it automatically connected to the “N” network. It also has its own email address for printing without a computer, but that still doesn't solve this question.)
    If you want to print to this printer, you must first change the computer’s AirPort setting to join the “N” network. If you don't, you still get the print dialog box, but eventually you will notice that nothing happens. The document just sits in the Printer’s queue.
    Is there a way to get a computer on the “G” network to find the wireless printer on the “N” network without first changing networks?
    Remember, it automatically finds the USB printer that is plugged into the “G” network router.

    It used to be that if you wanted to wirelessly extend the range of a network, you'd have to set up a WDS. (WDS = Wireless Distribution System.) There was no "Extend a wireless network" option and no "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox—you'd have to fill out lots of WDS information yourself. It was sort of a pain.
    Then, with the 802.11n AirPorts, Apple introduced the "Extend a wireless network" option, greatly simplifying the setup process. It accomplishes the same thing as a WDS, but it's easier to set up and has less overhead. However, it can only be used if every AirPort in the wireless network supports 802.11n.
    Your Express may support 802.11n, but your Extreme is older and does not. So "Extend a wireless network" won't work for your network. That's why you got errors when you set the Express's "Wireless Mode" option to "Extend a wireless network." Instead, you'll have to do things the old-fashioned way* and configure the Extreme and the Express to be part of a WDS. Your network will still work as desired: the Express will rebroadcast the signal from the Extreme, and clients will connect to whichever station has the stronger signal. It's just that you'll be using the older WDS technology instead of the newer "Extend a wireless network" feature.
    "Join a wireless network" is something different entirely. You'd use it if you wanted to connect to a network but not rebroadcast it. This could be useful when, for instance, your main router isn't an AirPort but you want to use AirTunes. In your case, however, this option wouldn't be very useful.
    Look at [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2588489] for more information.
    *Actually, the old-fashioned way would be to use modems. Or to forget about the internet and send snail mail instead.

  • Can't connect to wireless printer

    I cannot connect a wireless printer...I have tried 2 printers. HP photosmart 6510 and Epson SX535WD....the wireless strength appears to be good on the printer but the MAC can't see it and neither can the iPhone or the iPad....Sooooo frustrating. Have brought back printers to shop as thought they were faulty...They immediately signed in to their own wifi and printed no prob from iPhone....spoke to my broadband provider. They suggested might be interference from cordless phone, so switched that off....no success, then they said something about changing the WPA to WEP....this is becoming way too complicated for something that I thought was going to be plug in and go....Should I just give up and buy an old fashioned USB type....will I ever be able to print from the iPhone or iPad as well....HELP!!

    My mother has been using an iPad. She wanted a printer. The media would think you just buy an AirPrint printer and you're good to go. I bought an HP PhotoSmart 6510. It connects to the wireless signal at my mother's home, but the iPad doesn't recognize that an AirPrint printer is available. Cisco (router) recommended disabling SSID, more or less. I disabled the "SSID broadcast" under guest access (I think I went further with the tech attempts than most other people) using the Cisco software (and rebooted the router, I think), but still no go. The iPad still doesn't recognize the presence of an AirPrint printer. Very frustrating. IF the iPad had a USB port we could go back to the era of cables and print that way, but that's obviously not a solution. Feel mislead. Under the current circumstances most people are going to be frustrated and mislead by the media hype that says, "You can print wirelessly from you iPad, especially if you get an AirPrint computer." Things are going to have to get much simpler for widespread acceptance of that notion. Most of us don't have hours to spend trying to sort out tech issues on our computers. Frustrating!

  • Can't connect to wireless printer D110 Photosmart

    I've tried several times now to connect to this printer wirelessly - I'm in college and it is my roommate's printer, and she apparently didn't got through the whole process of inserting the cd and going through installation and so on, but is effectively hooked up wirelessly to the printer. Every time I have gotten the same message.
    "The IP address (my IP) of the PC and IP address 192.168.181.93 of the printer are not compatible. Turn off the power to the router and the printer. Wait 60 seconds. Turn on the power to the router and then the power to the printer. If the printer and PC IP address are still incompatible, reboot the PC."
    I can't turn off the power to the router because it's the residence hall router - dont even know where they are. But I have been through this several time now and just have no idea at all how to resolve it. Ideas?

    You need to be connected to the same network as the printer.  Does she have a wireless router in the room that the printer is connected to?  If not, even though it appears you are on one University network, it is likely many networks, all with the same name.  Each of these networks will have a different subnet (like the 192.168.181.X on the printer).  Look at your PC and find its IP address.  The first three sets of numbers will have to match the printer's.
    Need help?  Let me know what operating system you are using.

  • Can't connect to wireless printer from Mac

    I have 2 wireless printers.  My Macs can connect to one, but can not find the other.  My PCs can connect to both just find. 
    The printer I can't connect to is a Lexmark 4650.  I'm running the install CD, but when it tries to find the printer, it doesn't find it,
    so I can not complete the setup. 

    If you have the printers IP address open Terminal (Applications/Utilities) and at the prompt type: ping {printerIP}. You will get a reply or failure.

  • Can't connect to smb print server

    I have a D-Link DNS-325 NAS with a built-in USB print server, with a Canon printer connected to it. The printer works fine through the Windows 7 machine in the house, but not through my Mac (running Yosemite--also had the same problem when I was on Mavericks). The printer initially looks like it connects, but when I send a job to the printer, it will pause and I'll get an "unable to connect to the printer" error.
    The print server uses Samba, and there aren't any configuration options for it. I've tried connecting through LDP, spoolss and the "Windows" tab under Printers & Scanners. I've added the printer using both System Preferences and the CUPS interface. I've tried connecting as a guest and as the user account on the NAS. I've tried entering the credentials in the pop-up window after installing the printer and in the address when installing the printer. I've checked my Keychain to make sure there are no leftovers to delete. I've used the manufacturer's driver as well as the Gutenprint CUPS driver and the generic PostScript driver.
    I'm completely stuck. Does anyone have any other thoughts?

    Derp. Turns out there was a firmware update I didn't know about. Probably should have checked that earlier.

  • Linksys Wireless Print Server & HP Printer

    Does anyone know if I can use my Linksys wireless print server which is attached to my HP All-in-One Inkjet printer for printing on my MacBook Pro? When I go to add a printer, nothing is detected - neither the HP or the Print Server.

    I am facing the same problem too, except that my printer is a CANON. I can't seem to see the printer over the wireless network. However, when I connect the printer hardwired to my MBP, everything works fine and I am able to print normally.

    I'm sure someone can, but without more information, such as any clue about the type of printer/print server, or some idea about your network setup, this is the kind of task that is impossible to do blind.

    This is something I've done for a long time using an old Airport Extreme base station, with my printer hooked up to it's USB port. Aside from used or refurbished units (not uncommon if you search for them) the current Airport Express ($99) or Airport Extreme Base with Gigabit Ethernet ($179), or Airport Extreme Base with Modem ($129) all allow a USB printer to be shared.

  • Can't connect wireless print server

    I've been pulling my hair out trying to configure a D Link DPR-1260 wireless print server to work with a D Link wireless router on my system. I know I probably should have used Airport devices but then again I've always had trouble getting those things to talk to each other, too. Must be bad wifi karma or something. I've posted at the D Link site as well but they don't have many Mac users who can help with the setup. Anyone got a tip?

  • Connecting to a wireless print server, please help!!!

    i have a canon mp500 connected to a network through a wireless printserver and wireless router. the printer works when directly connected to my macbook, but not when connected to the print server. i contacted linksys and they sent a docment on how to set the printer up using it's ip address. still didn't work (the instructions were for 10.1 and 10.2). i have downloaded and installed the current mac os x drivers from the canon website with no luck. please help

    I'm no expert, but I was able setup HP printer connected wirelessly to AEBS by using Apple's Printer Setup Utility and Bonjour. I was, however, able to install the HP drivers using the software that came with the printer, but it sounds like you could not do so with Canon?
    Anyway, here are Apple's help files for adding an IP printer:
    "Connecting to an IP printer
    An IP printer is a network printer that uses TCP/IP protocols (such as LPD/LPR, IPP, or Socket or Jet Direct) to communicate with your computer. If the IP printer you want to use is not listed when you print, you can add it to your list of available printers.
    To add an IP printer, you need to know its IP address or DNS name. See your network administrator for assistance.
    Open the document to print, and choose File > Print.
    Choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and click IP Printer in the dialog that appears.
    Choose the appropriate printing protocol from the Protocol pop-up menu.
    Type the IP address or DNS name for the printer in the Address field.
    If your printer requires it, type the queue name for your printer in the Queue Name field. If you don't know the queue name, see your network administrator for assistance.
    Enter a name and location for the printer, so you can identify it in the Printer pop-up menu.
    If the Print Using pop-up menu does not display the name of your printer's model, choose the item appropriate for your printer from the Print Using pop-up menu, and then select your printer in the Model Name list.
    Click Add.
    Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them."

  • CM1015 on wireless print server; ToolboxFX Can't access

    (This is crossposted at the Business Support forum as well).
    I have the CM1015 connected via a Netgear WGPS606 wireless print server. Using the Netgear installation util, the IP connection and printing to it work fine. Success there.
    However, ToolboxFX can't access the printer, taking a v-e-r-y- long time to respond before throwing an error msg: The server could not find the request. (404) ...Please cycle power bla bla... Of course cycling power doesn't help.
    The topic at
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=115&prodSeriesId=1846080&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1846080&objectID=c00785211
    seems almost relevant, but not really, as the only IP I have is for the print server, not the CM1015 itself. Needless to say, scan-to-remote computer does not work. Disabling the OS firewall does not solve the problem.
    Anybody run across a solution for what should be a common problem?
    The drift from other frustrated users here seems to be that using a CM1017 connected to a wireless router might get you there. But, like other midrange printers (eg certain Canons), the CM1015 was never really meant to be networked. HP seem mute on the subject...

    I opted to use ".com.na" in which case the Internal Domain Name and Internet Website
    now has the same name.
    This ends up with a split-DNS stup for internal and external resolution which requires extra administration tasks and attention from the administrators.
    When attempting to open the extarnal website eg. "www.company.com.na" from a client PC within the internal "company.com.na" Domain, I keep getting error "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view
    this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
    I should also mention, the website is hosted by an ISP and not locally.
    I added a "www" Host record in the Forward Lookup Zone, I have added the url and ip address to the Hosts file on a client pc (Windows 7) and even tried setting up Split-Brains DNS. Nothing seems to work.
    Running a Tracert takes me to the correct public ip address of the website, but I keep getting this 403 error.
    This means that you are able to reach the Website but it is responding with the access denied error message. That should be checked on the middleware level so if this is IIS running then I would recommend asking them in IIS forum: http://forums.iis.net/
    If this is a Website that is completely managed by your ISP then I would recommend checking with them.

  • I have a HP2101nw wireless print server and it will not connect to my router.

    The status of my wireless print server always says it is not connected and idle on both my laptops.  I have tried to connect through the advanced settings but it does not find my router.  I have tried to connect manually but it fails.  Could a firewall be blocking it?  My router works fine on the internet for both laptops.  Any ideas?

    If other wireless devices are connecting OK, you know that the AirPort Express is operating correctly since all devices are receiving the same wireless signal from the Express.
    It's possible, but extremely unlikely that there will be other Samsung phone users on an Apple support forum, so I would suggest that you check with Samsung support to reset the Samsung phone back to default wireless settings so you can set up a new connection again.

  • HP webservices tab not available when using HP Jetdirect 2700w wireless print server

    I recently bought HP Laserjet Enterprise 500 m551 dn color laser printer with HP jetdirect 2700w wireless print server ( one day old at this time).
    I was able to configure the device and enable/ use eprint services using the embedded server with a wired connection.
    However when I attach a the mentioned wireless print server, the "Webservices" tab disappears from the configuration website, the printer reports that the eprint services are not enabled and ofcourse hp eprint or google cloud print do not work. The printer appears offline at eprintcenter. Everything else works fine.
    On the product website for the wireless server, it clearly states that this is compatible with eprint services.
    What am I doing wrong.
