Can't find printer on print server

Macbook 10.7.4
PS121 print server from netgear
MP500 Canon printer
OK I can print from all my xp computers.
I can access the print server from Safari
I have tried to set up IP printing with the print server ip address 192.168.0.4 and it recognizes it as a valid IP address but does not seem to see the printer behind it.
I have boot camp running and can print from the xp side of things on the macbook. So it has got to be an config problem somewhere.
Any body have the same issue?
Thanks
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7) print server

OK here is how I did it.
MacBook
Netgear Router
Linkstation Network drive acting as print server
Windows network
Canon Pixma MP500 printer
This took about three weeks to solve so I am trying to piece together the correct path you need to take.
Make sure you have ”on” print sharing under your “system preferences”.
Under firewall tab and the advanced tab Uncheck all “UDP,Logging and Steath.” I am going to start to turn these back on for security reasons but this is how I got it to work for me.
First I went to Printfab.net and got the print driver for the Canon MP500. This is good for Mac OSX tiger. I installed the program. At first I was not seeing the print drivers on my system. I had to get the print drivers to install so first I had to try to set up a printer. So I "Add printer" and under the name I typed "Canon PrintFab" This showed me all the the print drivers that were installed with the printfab program. It seems that once I did that they we installed so I can view them all the time in “Printer Setup Utility”.
You need to find out the path for you print driver. I was not able to actually see my print driver in the “finder viewer” but I could view the path to the directories on the networked drive. As I recall I had a netgear print server PS121 installed previously and I was able to see it. So to get the correct path name you are going to need under “finder” select network. You should then see you networked server name. Mine was “Mshome” because I am sharing this computer with three other windows based computers and I am hooking up to a windows started network. Under “mshome” I can see my network drive. Now you need to “mount the drive” so double click it and you we be asked to “select the SMB/CIFS shared volume you want to connect to” I selected the “shared folder” on the drive. Now it shows up as an icon on the “finders” left side. Now highlight it and “get info” from the menu bar. Under the general line I saw “server: cifs://mshome;danr@link/share. This is what it means. “mshome” is my networked name that the print server is on. “danr” is my account name on my mac. This is the name I see in finder that has all my docs and files under. “link is the name of the network drive.
Now I went back to "add Printer" Put the protocol to "IPP" and hold down the alt key and hit the "more printers" button at the bottom. Up pulls the list and select "advanced" option. Select " Windows Printer via Samb". In the device name you will want to enter the device that the printer is called. Mine happens to be "lp" Next under “device URL” after smb:// my line looked like this smb://mshome;danr@link/lp this is the info I got previous from finder. After “mshome” there is a semi-colon no a colon. Now under “model” I selected the Printfab driver for my Canon and then hit the “add” button.
And that was it I printed a test page under the utility program to test it.

I can't find a wifi printer on my imac

Hello,
I can't find a wifi printer on my imac. It's always linked automatically to wifi printers before. It's an HP deskjet, I've tried downloading drivers for it, but still no joy. Any ideas what I should do? Thanks,

In future posts, please tell us more of the details - which printer, which Mac, which OS X version, etc. Have you changed anything lately?
First thing I would try is Reset Printing System (and after, try adding the printer again):
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system - Apple Support
Read here about which printers are supported, and how we Normally get drivers now (Not by downloading directly from Manufacturer):

My mac snow leopard 10.6.8 can not find my 3050a printer wireless

My mac snow leopard 10.6.8 can not find my 3050a printer even though i have added the printer bonjour to my print list, even though the blue and white light s are on on the printer panel.
I have good signal strength
the printer ip is 192.168.1.8
Help

OK, using these instructions: https://www.broadbandadvice.org.uk/Website/Routers/HG532.htm change the channel to 11.
Now, if and when the printer is connected with a vaild IP address, let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

How can I find out the mail server from email address?

Hi:
How can I find out the mail server from email address?
for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
THANK YOU

You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

Where can I find the reports multitier server (reports 3.0)?

Can anyone please tell me where can I find the reports multitier
server 3.0.4.6.3?
When I try to install the reports 3.0.4.7.0 from the patch 0598
(pat0598.exe) it tells me that I must have installed the reports
multitier server 3.0.4.6.3. But I can't find it anywhere, not
even on the original installation CD.
I have on disk the file r30mts32.exe. Is this the so-called
reports multitier server? Is reports multitier server = reports
server = r30mts32.exe? If so, why is that error occurring?
Can someone please help me on this?
Thank you.

I agree and find it odd, but then, there is only the most rudimentary and superficial 'notes' -
iTunes 9 also includes many other improvements, such as HE-AAC encoding and playback, more flexibility with Smart Playlists rules, simpler organization of your media files inside an iTunes Media folder, and more.
Nothing like "fixed bug with using..."

I can't find my 'incoming mail server' menu/buttons on my iTouch 4g

I mean from Home > Settings > iCloud > Account > Advanced Mail I can see where my Outgoing Mail Server is but I can't find my incoming mail server. My Mail does not work (it can only send emails, and cannot receive emails) and I think it's because I don't have an incoming mail server menu/button(s)?

No. That is not the reason. I do not have any information/button for an incoming server and it works fine.I would delete the account on the iPod and then recreate it.

You should find a card (size like a cd jacket) with serial no. It should be put all together with an installation DVD and user manual etc.

Can't find driver for printer

I have an HP PSC 750 connected to an airport express base station. It shows up in the printer browser when I click the add printer button (it says Bonjour under the connection type). However, under the 'print using' drop menu it won't auto select a driver and I've tried several HP drivers that were in the list and they did not work correctly (I just got pages of random letters and numbers when I tried to print). So I installed the software from the HP website and if I connect the printer directly to the computer this works fine. However, not with airport express - the HP setup assistant has a thing that searches for the printer and it can find it when connected directly to the computer (USB) but it can't find it on airport (it has a TCP/IP option for typing in the network address of the printer but I'm not sure what that would be or if thats even applicable to this case). So I guess my question is: Can I even use this software with the printer on airport or do I need to do something else?
Thanks very much for any help!

henry, i've noticed you've solved several users' problems printing over airport. i'm hoping you can solve mine: i have a g5 imac running os v10.4.2 which cannot seem to print via airport express' usb to an hp color laserjet 2600n. when i run printer setup utility there is no driver selectable for the 2600n (however there is when it's connected directly to the imac via usb). when i select a generic hp color laserjet driver, the 2600n shows up via bonjour in my print dialog box, but nothing ever prints. meanwhile, my g4 powerbook running v10.3.9 can print to the 2600n over airport with no problems (and its printer setup sees a driver for the 2600n via rendezvous). i've contacted hp support and they've deemed it an airport issue. any clues? thanks!

OSX can't find shared windows printer

Hi,
I use a shared printer on my windows 7 PC to print from my Macbook. But this stopped working when I upgraded to Mavericks.
To fix this, I removed the printer from my preferences, but now I can't even add the printer anymore. OSX finds the windows computer, but doesn't list the shared printer. I double checked all sharing settings on the PC, all is fine. OSX simply doesn't find the printer...
Is there any explanation (and solution) for this?
Thanks

Hi, thanks. It never asked me for a password until now.
Another issues came up though; the windows 7 PC is a passwordless login.
When I try to set up the printer on my mac though, it doesnt let me log in with the password line empty.
I keep getting the message that the windows computer refused the request.
I double checked though, the user account on the windows PC does not have a password...
Do I need to set up a password for that account to make this work?
Thanks

Can't find any Bonjour printer in XP

On my iMAC, I installed a Canon MP750 printer, which works fine for my iMAC.
I shared the printer on the iMAC via system preferences.
I installed Bonjour 1.4 on the 2 XP machines in the network.
In the bonjour wizzardhowever, I can't find any printers.....
The command dns-sd -B ipp.tcp results om my IMAC in:
Timestamp A/R Flags if Domain Service Type Instance Name
17:07:08.184 Add 2 4 local. ipp.tcp. Canon MP750 @ iMac
On the XP-machines I get no result at all. So for some reason the printer isn't visible for the bonjour wizzard on the 2 XP-pc's.
I disabled the firewall on the XP-machines.
I spend many hours reading tips etc, in trying to get this to work, but without any result yet.
I hope someone can help me to solve this, so I can print from the XP (SP2) pc's to this printer.
Thanks !

I had the exact same problem. Printing was fine via Bonjour in Parallels, but didn't work anymore after switching to Fusion. I solved it, though, by following the instructions from the vmware education site:
http://mylearn.vmware.com/mgrReg/plan.cfm?plan=3193&ui=www
Disable your pop-up blocker, then click on the "VMware Fusion 1.0 Printers" tutorial. If you are using Bonjour, you can skip down to step 9 in the presentation.
For me the crucial step was releasing and renewing the IP address that my VM uses, but there are a few steps, so you should watch the tutorial to make sure you are on the right track.
Hope that Helps

I have a brother MFC-J835DW printer and my ipad can not find it to print? They are both connected to the same wirelss network via a Linksys router. Any ideas?

I have a Brother MFC-J835DW wireless printer (which is on the list of supported printers for Airprint), and have both the IPad 2 and the printer connected to the same wireless network. When I try to select the printer to print fromt he iPad, it cannot find the printer. Any ideas?

The first thing to do is to make sure that your printer has the latest firmware. You can download the firmware updater from Brother:

Restart your printer and your WiFi router by removing power to them for 30 seconds.
Also make sure that the firmware in your printer is the latest from the manufacturer.
