Can't print from Network

I have an iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.5 and my wife has a Tangerine iMac running 10.3.9. We are connected via built in ethernet I have the printer (HP 960c) attached to my computer. We can access each other's computers fine but she cannot print to my printer. Her system recognizes the printer but printing jobs go off into cyberspace some where. Any suggestions?

Doug - sorry for coming in late.
There are at least 5 ways to connect to a printer on a Mac. Mac-to-Mac sharing is the easiest because you get to use the printer's driver. The other methods rely on the Mac queue's standard functionality - incoming postscript is converted to code for the particular printer and sent to the printer by the driver.
Try this for troubleshooting:
Find the printer queue name by doing Get/Show Info on the printer in the Printer Setup list on the tangerine Mac.
On your computer, Add , select IP printer, then IPP. Enter the tangerine's IP address plus that queue name. Select generic postscript for driver.
Finish and try printing.

  • Can not print from network share.

    When a PDF document is printed from a network share whe're getting this error:
    Windows cannot find 'T:\temp\test.pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    This happens when a user click on the document with a right mouse click and select "print".
    But when the users copies it to his desktop and then select print with the right mouse click. The document print as normally. What could be the problem?
    we are using adobe reader 7.0.0

    Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
    Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

  • Can't print from networked PC running XP

    Hi. I have a Canon IP6700D attached via USB to my iMac. The iMac is running OS X 10.5.5.
    Also attached to my network is a PC running Windows XP SP3. So both machines are fully patched up.
    Printing from the iMac works flawlessly.
    I want to be able to print from the PC so I have shared the printer, turned off the firewall on the iMac set up the printer on the PC. The PC can see the printer and I can send print jobs to it. The iMac can see the print jobs coming over but nothing ever prints. Looking through the logs on the iMac tells me that the printer has worked but obviously it hasn't.

    Your issue could be due to the driver being used on the Windows box. Usually, you have to use a Generic PostScript driver on the Windows computer rather than the supplied vendor driver. This will restrict the options you have for printing but at least you should be able to print.

  • I can't print from network computer while in bootcamp

    Although I can see the network printer while in Windows 7 on bootcamp, I can't get it to print.  I am trying to print reports from Quicken 2012.  Any ideas?  

    Then this could be a driver issue. What brand and model of printer do you have? I want to check what driver options are available for this model.
    The other possible cause is the protocol you have used, although Windows is often better at selecting the correct protocol to use compared to Mac. To check what you are using on Windows, open Devices and Printers and select the printer. Then right-click its icon and select Printer Properties. Then select the Ports tab and then click on Configure Port. Is the queue configured to use LPD or RAW?

  • HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310.  Can't print from iPad iOS6.  They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses.  On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133.  Can I match them? H

    I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310).  They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses!  The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133.  That's the only difference I can see.  Is there a way to fix this?

    fyi:
    you put periods between the numbers.
    Each device needs a unique number.
    for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary.  192.168.1.x
    the numbers you have look ok.
    Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes.  poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
    cross fingers.

    I've got a wireless network with one iMac and a Vista PC, on the Vista PC is through USB a printer connected. How can i print from my iMac to that particular printer ?

    You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

  • Can't print from a windows pc to network printer

    I am having a network printer problem.
    I have a Canon printer plugged into the usb port of my Mac-Mini.  I can print fine from the Mac to the printer.  I have network sharing enabled for the printer.
    I have a Dell PC connected to an Airport Express via internet cable as part of my network.
    I have bonjour installed on the Dell
    Bonjour can see the networked canon printer and will install it as the default printer for the Dell PC.
    However, I can not print from the Dell unless I have the wrong printer driver (an HP driver) installed.  As long as the wrong driver is installed I can print the first page of a document only.
    If I install the correct Canon driver, the printer ceases to function.
    I tried connecting the printer to the airport express via usb.  Once I did this, I was able to print from the Dell pc with no problem using the correct driver.  But then, I could no longer print from the Mac-mini via the Airport Express connected printer.  The Mac could see the printer and identify that it was connected via Airport.  And the Mac will allow me to connect to the Airport connected printer .  But as soon as I trie to print something from the Mac, it fails and gives an error message or pauses and says the drivers may not be correct.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Detective445 wrote:
    I believe that there may not be a solution to this because the printer will only recognize one set of drivers.  Since one set of drivers is for the Mac and one set is for a PC It will only work with one machine or the other.
    Then you should be able to print from the Mini after resetting the printer, e.g. by turning it off and back on after a short while. But it sounds as if this won't help either, and to be frank, it's not an "acceptable" explanation, either...
    So, what's the error message? Unless known, we can only keep guessing:
    You've reset the printer system in the Mini? Eventually consider deleting the Canon drivers manually afterwards, and only then add the printer again and re-install its software.
    If that doesn't help either, the issue must be a communication problem, meaning I'd recommend to double-/triple-check all comm-related things as well.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer?

    How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer. 
    ....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

    Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
    I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
    It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.

  • 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.

  • How can I print from my iPhone to a non AirPrint printer

    How can I print from my iPhone to a non AirPrint printer?  I was told by an Apple tech to do so via Airpot Express USB port. I already have a wired and wireless network and printers connected via Ethernet.  I am just trying to print from my iPad and/or iPhone to my existing printers...if possible. I tried the airport express but that does not appear to do what I need. Any help or a definitive "no way" would be appreciated.

    There are third-party apps that permit this. If on a MAC, get this:

  • How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express?

    How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express? I have a HP printer and I can print from all my Windows PC and iMAC in the house. How can I print from my IPaD?

    You cannot.
    The USB port on the AirPort Express allow sharing a printer with Windows and Mac OS X, not with iOS:
    "Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7":
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/#wireless-printing
    "AirPrint-enabled printers  connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported":
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    The HP ePrint app also does not provide such functionality:
    Can I print from the HP ePrint mobile app using USB or Bluetooth?
    No. You can only print directly to supported HP printers on a local wireless network.

  • Can I print from my had to x64 printer

    The hp2542 is connected but how can I print from my iPad Air? Do I need an App?

    Hello @Leek47,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you would like to print from your iPad Air.
    I would like to help.
    The iOS devices have a built in print driver. This is known as Airprint.
    As long as the printer and iPad are on the same wireless network, you should be able to print.
    Print from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    I like to use the HP ePrint app when printing from my mobile devices.

  • Can't print over network get message "Error Printing" in message Queue

    Hi,
    I have 3 machines, xp, vista and windows 7.  I have 2 printers that are configured to print through the network
    1. OfficeJet Pro L7680
    2. PhotoSmart C7180
    For all 3 computers I can go to the web configurations for the printers (so I know the network settings are correct).  Windows finds the printer and properly installs the drivers using the TCP/IP network port.
    I can only print to the PhotoSmart from the Vista computer.  I can't print from the XP or Windows 7 machine, I can't printer to the OfficeJet Pro from any computer.
    Both printers work on all computers via USB port.
    when I try to print a test page the job stays in the print queue and gets a message "Error Printing".
    The funny part is that the computer can communicate with the printers and get the ink levels no problem.
    I have been banging my head on the wall and cannot figure it out.
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ara

    I think I figured it out after torchering my self for weeks.
    I had my computers and printers hooked up directly or wireless through a linksys WRT610N router.  I decided to add a linksys switch right after the router and plugged the computer and printers in through the switch and now it works.
    This is very strange, there must be somekind of incompatibility with the WRT610N router that is causing the problem, it works but refused to print for some reason.  I tried changing settings in the router but haven't got it to work.
    Any clues on what it could have been with the router?
    Thanks,
    Ara
