Can"t print from iBook G4 to windows HP890c Printer

I have been trying to print from an apple iBook G4 to a HP 890c Windows printer. I can see the 3 pc's in the workgroup from the apple and can file share with them but cannot print. I can install the HP 890C in windows printing using the dialog boxes but I get the NTStatus_BadName error when attempting to print.
Which computer do you download and install the hpijs and the ESP ghostscript? I imagine its to the PC which the printers are attached but want to verify.
Also, even though I added the iBook G4 to the workgroup, it does not show up. It does show up with servers. I cannot see the ibook from any of thje PC workgroup computers. Could this be part of my path problem.

hpijs and ESP ghostscript are for OS X. But, you have a network-capable driver (Deskjet 890C, Gimp-Print) already included in OS X. Your problem appears to be in the Windows sharing (Samba=smb) system.
Try adding the printer using the advanced windows printing method: After clicking add, Hold down option key and click More Printers. Select Advanced at the bottom of the first menu. Select Windows Printing via Samba (I think that's what it says). Enter the URI like this:
smb://[IP address of server]/[printer share name from Windows]

PDF that Can Import PDFs from iBooks?

Hi. Is there a good third-party PDF reader than can will read from iBooks PDF that'll work with iPhone 3G? Most PDF readers need a Mac to transfer the PDF to it's iOS app.
Thank you.
God bless.

Thanks for the very prompt answer! That seems like it sort of does what I want - however, once I leave the course, I want to have the system continue to work - and future Admins probably wont have access to Acrobat Pro, or the technical knowledge to send out looking for responses. Nor is there a sharepoint (or equivalent drive) to set. Perhaps some further explanation is required.
There are multiple classes going on at one time, and each class gets a folder on a standalone machine, with a different Admin in charge of each class. When one graduates, another one fills in behind them a week or so afterwards. So what I need is a "template" file for student data, and a template "Master list" that pulls from all of the student data PDFs in that folder, locally, without the Master list having to send out requests for information. That way, when a new class starts, the students can email in their student data, the Admin can pop them all in a folder with a blank Master List template, and when the admin opens the Master list, it populates with all the data from the student sheets.
Hopefully that is a little clearer, and hopefully doable! It really needs to be pretty darn simple. We used to do it in Excel, and gave each student a tab where we copy/pasted their basic data - and a crosslinked sheet pulled it into the master list. Alas, that looked unprofessional and sometimes was very troublesome when the students altered the Excel form in any way or put things in the wrong cells.
Thanks!

How can start service from the spfile, on Windows 2003,

On Windows 2003, how can start service from the spfile?
connect to the database as sysdba and startup will start from the spfile.
Once I use wondows Service for shutting down and startup datbase it start from the pfile.
Which defeat my ability to change parameters at the system level.

Hi,
I'm not sure, but maybe your windows Instance service was created with
C:\> oradim -new -sid <SID> -startmode m -pfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\pfile\init.ora
then, you need edit this service with command like below:
C:\> oradim -EDIT -SID <SID> -spfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\spfile<SID>.ora
Take a look on this link before make any changes:

Can't install from cs6 cd on windows 7 64bit

-Can't install from cs6 cd-I have a serial number -I've tried the forums I've even tried phone support which no longer exists for cs6,got the correct specs of pc win7 64bit 8gb ram etc.I worked before.
-I uninstalled cs6 production premium for student/teachers as after effects wasn't burning,writing,making image or dvd folders.
-This forum said uninstall everything and run cleaner. I did now when I part in cs6 first gives "restart needed before install" done it twice then ignored, then the install go to selection of software,click next and error 15 comes up tried all again then said installation can't complete contact forum and back to the beginning.
-Then tried downloading creative crowd while I was signed in on my adobe account, download completed but didnt want to install
-Then went to adobe application manager downloaded, aswell didn't want to install.
WHAT IS HAPPENING? to simplestaright for support.
go here, do this, click there.
Can anyone tell me how to find or get cs6 installed??via download link, new cd something?
Thanks

HI.Tried the link above production premium is only available in French and German no English files.
BUT I got it right.
MAIN PROBLEM:ENCORE didn't want to burn,write,create folder or image.Not the DVD writer error.
If you have tried everything else suggested THEN:
Adobe forum: uninstall and re-install. ONE slight problem not mentioned any uninstalling or format of PC or adobe software.YOU MUST DEACTIVATE the product first.
1. Deactivate and un-install all cs6
2. Download and use the adobe cleaner Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 Point 3 and choose OS-Run it .
3.Clean all
4.Run disk and system file clean up.Restart PC.
5.Let system clean run. Once logged in. Run CC cleaner again. BUT NOW select clean adobe credentials.
6.Restart again.
7.Insert your CS6 production premium disc and TADA! It worked for me.
If this doesn't work go to adobe,sign in,choose a certain product premiere,after effects etc, choose installing or activation, and click contact us. There should be an option of CHAT to us not just the search forum.
Explain that you can't install from disc and ask to see your license and serial number if it can be deactivated and then try activate again.
Not the most elegant but efficient for me. I spent 2 days on this searching,phoning, chatting, restarting
YET I'm still stuck by ENCORE not burning to disc LOL! So actually was all in vain but atleast if you have bad disc and serial number issues this could shed some like.
Thanks for all who helped

Can't print from iBook G4 via Windows XP to an HP PSC 1410

Hello,
I realize this question is very similar to others on this discussion but I haven't been able to find an answer to my problem.
I cannot print from my iBook via XP to an HP PSC 1410.
I can print from my iBook via XP to an HP LaserJet 4L.
I was able to print from my iBook via XP to an HP882C that was connected
to the same USB port that the HP PSC 1410 is connected to now.
I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.3
I have a PC running XP with an HP LaserJet 4L on a parallel port and an HP PSC 1410 on a USB port.
I installed the following from http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
hpijs-foomatic-2.02.ppc.dmg
espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg
HP-PSC_1400-hpijs.ppd
I think I correctly followed the instructions at:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html
They worked for the LaserJet printer.
When I attempt to print from the iBook to the 1410 the HP doesn't print at all.
I don't see any error messages on the iBook. The document gets spooled onto the Windows print spooler, the printer even starts making noises, the print heads move about a bit and then stop. The print job just sits there in the queue with a status of "Printing". The print job is then stuck and hard to delete.
I don't need to be able to scan or check ink levels from the iBook.
I would just like to be able to do color printing.
What else should I try? Given the symptoms where might I be going wrong?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I found the answer to this problem on Linux printing provided by Steve Stuart.

Hi all,
I finally figured out what the issue was, Why it fixes it I can not say,
but it does.
On the Shared printer on the Windows side, go to the properties of the Printer.
Go to the Ports tab, and deselect the "Enable bidirectional Support" (do not
have it checked). Once this is done and you also do not have any firewalls
setup on the Windows machine (Windows, MCAfee, Norton, ....). You should be
able to print.
Finally!!!!! I hope this helps many many people. As I have had many
people asking for the solution if I found it.
Thanks,

Cannot print from ibook on a windows network

I have a new iBook that is linked to my Linksys Wireless Cable Gateway. On the same network, my Windows XP desktop with attached Epson Stylus Photo R220 is attached.
I have enabled sharing for that printer via the desktop PC.
I located the printer, "EpsonSty", on my iBook but when I attempt to print to it, it gives me two errors.... the first is a denied NT access message and later, something about not being able to print to Samba.
Is there an easy fix so I can print to my Epson from my iBook via the network?

Just 'upgraded' to Windows Phone 7, now my contacts can't synch from the PC, and Windows Live has a 500KB limit? Is there a way around this nightmare??

For years I was happily plugging in my Palm Treo Pro, and having my contacts and calendar synch with my PC, WITHOUT the need for that information to be stored on the cloud, where anyone could get at it. When that died recently, I bought a used Windows 7
phone.
So far, it sucks. And it's not the phone that's the problem.
My main issue is that I have diligently exported my (over 5000) contacts from Outlook as a CSV file, and went to import them into Windows Live, only to discover that there's a 500KB limit. That's somewhere around 500 contacts.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? You really need me to set up 10 different files, to import stuff onto the cloud?
Please tell me there is a way around this limit, or (better yet) a way to synch directly with my PC, so I can avoid this whole Windows Live disaster?? I want to use Outlook. It's a Microsoft product!
Please help!
Deb

Hi,
I'm not sure about the Microsoft Account Contact limit, for this issue, you may post the question to Microsoft Community:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
If you still have the contacts in your Outlook Client, I suggest you setup the Microsoft Account(Windows Live) in Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, then move the contacts to the contacts folder of the Microsoft Account, let it sync, then all will be done,
you don't have to export and import the .csv file any more.

Can't boot from CD - code 5 (Windows 7)

Hey gang,
I been searching for the past 2 days for my answer but unable to find it. Maybe you guys can help me which is VERY VERY VERY important that I get Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro!
I have a Windows 7 ISO which I obtain leggaly. When I turn off my Mac and when it boots back up I keep getting:
CDBOOT: Cant boot from CD - Code 5
I have a "early" 2011 Macbook pro, I made 6 diffrent versions of the ISO (which none work), and Im stuck on what to do next.
I have tried to mount then burn, creat new ISO then burn, and I even tried to change the buring speed to x2. I even tried 3 diffrent types of media too...
I been using the Disc Utility which came with my Mac which is ran by Lion 10.7.2
Any ideas on what to do?

This may be the answer. https://discussions.apple.com/message/10499544#10499544
However, if that doesn't work, why bother with bootcamp? Use a virtual drive via Parallels or Fusion, and run both simultaneously. Rebooting is a pain.

Can't migrate from iBook

I just bought my new intel based 24" iMac and i can't get the migration assistant to work betwen my 1.4Ghz Power PC G4 iBook an this new one. It seems like the computers can't understand each other. I've done this procedure a dozen times before with other computers and there's never been a problem. I conect the fire wire, restart the old iBook pressing the T key, the screen with the firewire simbol appears..... but the iMac never detects it. Please Help!!

If you have an external FireWire drive, try using it as a bridge between your old and your new Macs. That's the only way I can get my iMac to recognize my Power Mac G4.

Can't print to AEBS from Windows computer

I have an ibook and a Dell desktop running Windows XP. I'm using an AEBS with a Canon i560 connected via USB. This setup has worked fine for two years but now I suddenly can't print from the Dell. I used Rendevous (now BonJour) when initially setting up my network, and it always worked great. The Dell still seems to see the Canon; that is, it shows up in the menu. But when I print, nothing happens, and I eventually get a printer error message. It still prints from the iBook fine. I've tried everything, including deleting the printer and using Rendevous to re-set up the connection. I also tried turning off my firewall, to no avail. Help!

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately. When same machine is booted into XP the priners share perfectly with both of my iBooks, but when the same machine is booted into Vista with the printer shared etc, the iBooks don't see the printer. Other Windows machines on the newtork do see the shared printers in Vista.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printers

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible.

On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.

How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?

How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?
Most new wireless printers won’t have a problem printing from the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT. All you should have to do for these printers is tell them to print and they will. Older wireless, Ethernet, and USB printers might not have an officially supported driver in Windows 8 RT, but there is a way to get the printers working. There are different requirements depending on how the printer is being connected to the Surface.
Note: All steps below are only for PhotoSmart, OfficeJet, DeskJet, and other HP Inkjet printers. These steps are not for Laserjet printers or printers from other manufacturers. These steps may not work for all Inkjet printers. If these steps don’t work, try different drivers from the list until you find one that will work (you’ll understand what I mean once you follow the steps below). If none of the drivers work, your printer will not work with the Surface.
For networked printers (wireless or Ethernet), all you need is either the Surface keyboard, or an external USB keyboard to connect to the Surface. This just makes anything you have to type easier to type. You will also need to have the Surface and the printer connected to the same network.
Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
Touch Search.
Below the Search Box, touch Settings.
In the search Box, type Devices and Printers.
Touch Devices and Printers.
Touch Add a Printer.
Touch “My printer is not listed”.
Select the TCP/IP option and touch Next.
Enter the printer’s IP address and touch Next. Note: You can get this from the printer’s Network Configuration Page, or from your router’s DHCP list.
The Surface will locate the printer and try to install it. The install will fail and the Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list. If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver. (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
Touch Next.
Touch Finish.
Test printing.
For USB connected printers, you will need a USB cord to attach the printer to the computer.
Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
Windows will try to find the drivers but will not be able to.
Here Windows may ask you if you want to choose the driver to install. If it does skip to step 14 below.
Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
Touch Search.
Under the Search box, touch Settings.
In the Search box, type Device Manager.
Touch Device Manager.
Touch View and select Show Hidden.
Search for the printer in the Device Manager. It should be under Other Devices with a yellow caution sign beside it.
Select the printer from the list.
Touch Action.
Touch Update Driver, or Install whichever one it displays.
The Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list. If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver. (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )

I have a Lexmark Prevail Pro 705 printer connected to my network wirelessly. I can no longer scan from it using Image Capture. I can print to it. I can scan from it using a Windows machine. Most updated firmware. Driver v 11.0 Any ideas?

I have a Lexmark Prevail Pro 705. Latest (as of july 30, 2012) firmware. Mac driver v 11.0
I can no longer communicate wirelessly with the scan feature of the printer. I can print no problem using a wireless connection. Using a window's machine I can scan wirelessly from the printer. It seems that my iMac (OSX 10.8, 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24inch early 2009) is not connecting to it. I can put a USB cord into the computer and scan.
Any ideas? This came up starting 2 weeks ago. I had hoped the operating system upgrade would solve it. It has not. I see nothing on the Lexmark boards about this. Since the printer works fine in both print an scan mode using a windows machine and can print fine from a Mac but not scan I don't have any ideas but I suspect it is the Mac.

Repair your disk permission: http://bit.ly/OeD7U3.
