Can't print from Tiger to a shared printer on Mountain Lion

Hello,
I have a branch office that's running Mountain Lion on one computer and Tiger on the other. How can I print from the Tiger machine to a shared printer on the Mountain Lion computer? I should point out that this isn't a problem when the printer is shared from the Tiger machine, just the other way around.
Thanks,
Patrick

Printing from Linux to Windows shared printer

I am trying to print from Linux to a shared printer on a Windows XP PC. I installed cups and foomatic, started cupsd and configured the printer (HP Deskjet 720C) in KDE control centre. When I try to print a test page I get the following message:
Catastrophe! - KNotify
A print error occurred. Error message received from system:

I have Googled like crazy but couldn't find a working solution.

Rather than use SMB to connect from Lion to the Windows XP printer share, a better method is to enable Print Services for UNIX on Windows XP and then use LPD on the Mac to print via the Windows share.
To install Print Services for UNIX on Windows XP:
Log on to the Windows server with an administrative-level account.
Start the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
Click Other Network File and Print Services, and then click Details.
Click to select the Print Services for UNIX check box, and then click OK.
Follow the instructions on the screen to finish the installation
If you haven't done so already, share the printer on Windows XP and make the name one word - no spaces or special characters
With the print services enabled you can then create the printer queue on Lion.
Open Print & Scan and click + to add a printer
Select the IP icon and set the protocol to Line Printer Daemon - LPD
For the Address, enter the IP address of the Windows XP computer
For the Queue name, enter the share name set for the printer in Windows XP
Name and Location are free text so you can set this to something meaningful
For the Print Using menu, select the supporting printer driver. Note that like connections via SMB, the vendors driver for Lion in some cases cannot be used and an alternate like those offered by the Gutenprint suite must be used.
Click the OK button to complete the queue creation.
Now you are ready to test the new print queue.

Can I upgrade from snow leopard 10.6.8 to mountain lion? Not sure how old my MacBook is. How can I find that information?

Can I upgrade from snow leopard 10.6.8 to mountain lion on my MacBook?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and compare the model identifier with MacBook5,1, which is the earliest MacBook that can run Mountain Lion and newer.
A MacBook older than that which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by clicking here. Neither Mountain Lion nor Lion support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

How can I update from Os X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8.4?

I am trying to update my Mac from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8.4. I have read online that I can no longer buy Mountain Lion from the App Store, and that I must purchase Mac X Maverick instead, but cannot find that on the App Store either. All I want to use this eBay computer for is for iTunes radio, which needs OS X 10.7 or greater. Could someone point me in the right direction for updating? I'm a grandma, fer Pete's sake! : ) Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Can i update from os x 10.5.8 to mountain lion

can i update from os x 10.5.8 to mountain lion

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Help Printing from Windows 7 to shared printer on Tiger/Mac Mini

UGH! My folks have long been running on a Power PC Mac Mini with Tiger. The Mac has an Epson Stylus CX4200 - works great in this configuration. Unfortunately, we have a need to implement a laptop with Windows 7 running. I'd like to print to the Mac's locally-attached printer from the wirelessly-connected laptop.
Anyone know how to configure windows 7 to print to the shared printer attached to the Mac? Any help, greatly appreciated.
- Brad

Hello Brad,
If you download and install Bonjour for Windows onto the Windows 7 laptop, this will assist you with finding the printer being shared by the Mac.
Note that the web page does not mention Win7 support, but since Vista is supported there should not be an issue.
I also cannot ever remember using it when I had Tiger on a Mac, so not 100% of it functioning correctly (certainly works when printer is shared by 10.5 and 10.6).
In case it doesn't work, you could manually add the printer queue on Win7. The connection used by Bonjour for Windows is IPP and you will need to know the IP address or name of the Mac sharing the printer. You will also need to know the name set for the Epson, which can be found via the Print & Fax pane.
The network queue name on the Win 7 laptop needs to be;
http://maccomputer_name.local:631/printers/PrinterName
or
http://IPaddress_of_mac:631/printers/PrinterName
Then for the Printer Manufacturer and Model you can select the HP Color Laserjet 4550 PS. Don't worry about selecting a PostScript (ie PS) driver. Even though your printer probably does not support PostScript, the Mac will convert the incoming PS spool file into the appropriate format used by the Epson.

Print from iBook to Windows shared printer

Hi
I would like to be able to print from my iBook through my airport extreme base station to my desktop which is running Windows (XP SP2).
The printer is connected to the desktop not via the USB port on the AEBS.
Is there a way for this to work? I have bonjour installed on my windows desktop but it only sees the printers i have installed on my ibook.
Please help...
Many thanks in advance

Hello -- Thanks for the post. I would like to know if you have tried this procedure to connect to a windows printer that is shared via a server on a subnet different from the macintosh's subnet?
Thanks.
Yes.
This is how I did it. There may be an easier way.
But Bonjour sure did not help.
Listen very closely - it is much harder than it
should be.
1) Make sure the Windows printer is shared. Use a
sensible name with no spaces.
2) Go to System Preferences and click on "Print and
Fax"
3) Press on the + button to add a printer. The
printer browser panel will appear
4) Hold down the OPTION button. (no really - this is
how you do it) and click on the MORE PRINTERS button
at the botton of the browser pane
5) A sheet appears - in the top-most pull down select
ADVANCED
6) In the next pull-down (called Device) select
Windows Printer via Samba.
7) Type something into Device name.- whatever you
want to call it.
8) In the devide URL type this.....
smb://username:password@workgroup/computername/printer
name
The user and password have to apply to the windows
machine.
The workgroup is the name of the Windows workgroup
The computer name is the name of the windows machine
and the printer name is..er.. the name of the shared
printer.
If your username has spaces - it could all go
horribly wrong.
9) Then use the Printer Model - to select the printer
manufacturer and model. If your printer is not
there... you may be skrood.
10) Finally press ADD!!!!!
At this point you can select your default paper size.
Remember to select A4 if you are in Europe.
Then try printing something.
Not exactly typically Apple "just works" - but it
does work!

Having problem with printing from xp to mac shared printer (HP LJ M1005).

I have 2 printers - HP LaserJet M1005 MFP, HP DeskJet 3845.
Both are connected via USB to MacPro and shared.
I have 3 laptops - MacBookPro, IBM ThinkPad T42 (winxp) and HP Compaq nw8000 (winxp).
All these computers are connected via router.
I'm able to print from MacBookPro on both printers.
On IBM and HP I installed Bonjour service and added both printers.
Printing to HP DeskJet 3845 works fine, but HP LaserJet M1005 MFP doesn't.
What happens - When I print from IBM or HP, the job shows up in MacPro, but after 1sec status is changed to "Stopped".
I really don't understand where is problem...
I tried different drivers - Generic driver, HP LaserJet m1005 driver, some other LaserJet drivers. Nothing works...
When I connect HP LaserJet M1005 MFP directly to PC and install drivers, it works fine.

Two possible solutions.

Can I upgrade from Leopard(OS X 10.5) to Mountain Lion(OS X 10.8)?

I have a 2 1/2 year old iMac still in the box with Leopard pre-installed. How do I get my iMac up to date with Mountain Lion? Is Mountain Lion too much for my iMac's Intel 3.06GHz Core i3 processor and 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM?

No, you don't have to bother with 10.5.8.
When you have installed Snow Leopard, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:

HT4759 can I upgrade from snow leopard to current version of Mountain Lion on my Mac? So I can use icloud on all devices?

Can I upgrade from Snow Leopard - OS X 10.6 - on my current Mac to Mountain Lion - OS X 10.8.2? Or even up into IOS?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As your Mac is running Mac OS X 10.6, first open  > Software Update and install Mac OS X 10.6.8. This update will add the App Store, so open it and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If your Mac is compatible, the computer will start downloading Mountain Lion.
While your Mac is downloading Mountain Lion, you should make a backup of your files. Also, check if your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If your Mac isn't compatible with Mountain Lion, see if you can use OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If it's compatible, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

No Print Settings when printing from Leopard to a shared Epson on Tiger

I don't know if this is related to the printing problems in Aperture before Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 but I am still experiencing a missing "Print Settings" menu when printing from MacOS X 10.5.2 (Intel) to an Epson 4800 shared on a Mac (PowerPC) running Tiger. The printer is connected by FireWire.
I tried sharing the printer from a Mac running Leopard and the menu shows fine and printing is perfect. When printing from Leopard directly to the printer everything is okay too.
Should the Mac sharing the printer run the same system as the Macs printing to it? (pretty impossible in any company) or is this a persisting bug.
Thanks for your help.

I solved this. At least for me. After spending an hour on the phone with Epson, they said it was Apple's problem. After spending an hour on the phone with Apple, they said it was Epson's problem. Sound familiar? Anyway I searched around the net for answers and I've found something that has worked. I downloaded this program: Gutenprint Uninstaller from this site http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 and ran it on both computers. That got rid of any old gimp or guten drivers. Then from the same site I downloaded this package of drivers Gutenprint 5.1.7 and installed it on both computers. On the Tiger computer I added my printer (Epson 1400) selecting the gutenprint driver as its driver. Now my Leopard can see the printer settings and I can choose the type of paper, print quality, etc. These are all found in the printer interface window under "printer features". Hope this works for you. I'm happy again.

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 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.

YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.
