Can't print from Win XP Laptop

I have an Airport Extreme connected to a G5 running 10.5.5.
One of the reasons I got the Airport Extreme was the belief that I could print from my laptop, running XP, wirelessly. I've installed Bonjour. The manual said to follow the on screen instructions, but there were none. When I launch the utility it does see my network, but not the printer. I have the printer plugged directly into the Airport Extreme.
I normally have the printer plugged directly into the Mac because when I have it plugged into the AE I can't print at all.
I do have a SonicWall installed as well.
The imac is connected to the AE via Ethernet.
Any suggestions?

Finally got this resolved...at least for today by uninstalling bonjour and reinstalling.

  • Officejet 6000 computer connected to windows 7. Can't print from windows XP laptop

    Printer connected by USB to the Windows 7 desktop.  Printing is fine.  I have both computers on the same workgroup network, file sharing is ok.  My laptop finds the printer on the network, but there is apparently a driver problem.  The disc that came with the printer will only install on XP and Vista, so  downloaded the drivers for the new windows 7 desktop.  I either get a "Failed to Print" message or "The handle is invalid".  When I tried to connect with the printer through network sharing, and tried to open it, I was told the wrong drivers were located on the server.  It looked for a file with *.inf.  Do I hve the wrong drivers on the desktop or do I need to install the drivers on the laptop?  I never had this problem with my old Vista desktop.

    If it is not wireless it is USB connected.  So you need to choose USB connected and let the program do it's thing.   Are you trying to share the printer from the desktop to the laptop?  If yes, just go to Add Printer and follow the instruction.  Make sure File and Print Sharing is enabled on the desktop.

  • Can't print from, Win 7 to a XP with 5650 deskjet.

    I need to print  to a desktop with XP (SP3) from my HP desktop with Win 7.  I have treid to install the printer (via Add Printer) but the install fails, stating that it can not find the .inf file.  What driver file will work?

    Oh, OK.  Plug the printer into your Win 7 machine with the USB cable (unplug it from the XP machine).  Turn the printer on and the Win7 machine will download drivers for it.
    When it is done, plug it back into the XP machine and then Add Printer on the WIn 7 machine to add a "network" instance of the printer.  Delete the USB instance of the printer in Control Panel > Devices & Printers when you are all done so you are left with only the "network" instance of the printer.

  • Can't print from HP Win 7 64bit notebook to laserjet 1022 via wireless router

    I've been able to always print from an XP notebook, but now I can't print from an HP Win 7 64 bit notebook to a Laserjet 1022 installed on an XP desktop via wireless router. Looking for a driver that I can't find anywhere. Followed all the forum help instructions that looked like it would work to no avail. Doesn't seem to be a Win 7 64 bit driver for the 1022 model, (not 1022n).

  • Can't print from Ubuntu or Win 7

    Hello. I have an Arch x86_64 box which is my HTPC and print server. The printer is shared from CUPS and SAMBA. I can see it from a Win 7 and an Ubuntu 10.10 box. But I can't print anything from those machines. Not from another Arch box either. I have a strange issue with permissions or path or whatever so I must give su - command to use some commands as root and I'm not able to shut down my computer with sudo halt as an example. I did set up my box as usual a week ago and that su thing is new to me. Can it be related to each other this permission with su and CUPS printing problem?

    Did you tell CUPS to allow remote printing?
    It's been awhile since I've set up cups, and I don't even have it installed atm, but, if I remember right, there are options to allow/disallow remote printing, and also for certain ranges of host ips, and even for specific users.
    So, what does your cups setup look like?
    How about Samba?  I'm thinking that your problem is more with CUPS than SAMBA.
    Can you print from the computer that you have cups set up on as the server?
    CUPS also has a web interface where you can adjust these options.  Sorry, I don't remember the port number that you need to use to access it, but that should be in the man page.
    As for the su thing, definately.  It sounds to me like you aren't in the lp group, which is default for printer access.

  • I can't print from macintosh laptop unless I print first from my desktop. officejet 6500a

    i have a macintosh laptop. I can't print from it unless I print first from my desktop. officejet 6500a.
    it says: "communication failure. the computer is no longer able to communicate with the printer."
    Yet, once I print something from my desktop, I can print from the laptop just fine, until I turn one of the machines off...

    Is the printer connected to your wireless router?  What router?  What version of OS X?

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

    Hi,
    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
    This question was solved.

    Hello boojoo1tw,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
    If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Can't print from my deskjet 3050

    hi, I bought the deskjet 3050 printer and recieved it yesterday. I have not yet been able to print any documents from my laptop. I have correctly installed the ink cartridges and the printer is able to print items selected from the printer screen menu. It is also able to scan items onto the laptop. There are no error messages next to the printer when it is selected on the control panel. However, when i send items to the printer from the laptop they will not print. When I select to view my print list, any item that is sent displays an error message with no explanation next to it. I have also been trying to 'estimate ink levels' but an error message flashes up which reads 'the computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device'. I have installed all the appropriate drivers. Is there anything you can suggest?
    Thanks

    Hi Mryniak,
    I understand that you're not able to print from the web.  I have a couple of questions for you.  Can you print from other programs on your printer?  What browser are you using?  Have you tried a different browser such as Google Chrome?

    installed new 5520 last weekend.  windows keeps shutting down IE.  went through windows suggestions.  says it is due to smartprint.  I do not need smartprint or e-print, just want to print from my laptop.  Can I uninstall smartprint and e-print and just use regular printing?  Also, I can't print from e-mail.  I can print everything else except from e-mail.  Anyone know how to correct this? 

    I am linking you to a video on removing Smart Web Printing.

  • Can't print from Mac to Windows printer

    I have a wireless network of 3 computers and a printer. One is a desktop running XP with the printer attached. The other is a laptop with XP. And the last is a MacBook with 10.4.11.
    I can print from both computers running XP but I can't print from the Mac. The Mac sees the printer and I can add it and try to print from it. When I try to print I get the error message:
    NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY
    I later get the "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds" message too.

    Be sure the printer name assigned in Windows is not more than 11 alphanumeric characters. Long names with punctuation and the like are known to cause problems.

    Tutorial: Resolving common printer problems
    Mac OS X offers a robust printing system with built-in support for hundreds of devices from a wide body of manufacturers. It's not without flaws, however, and printers often become unrecognized or non-functional after a significant Mac OS X update. Printers connected through hubs or AirPort base stations can also exhibit some frustrating issues.
    Below is a run-down of the most generally successful printer workarounds. Keep trying until one of them sticks.
    Use Printer Setup Repair This tool lets you verify properties of the root user, the Printing Services (lp) user, and Print Operators (lp) groups, reset the printing system, perform CUPS maintenance and more. Run through its set of maintenance tasks before delving into further printer troubleshooting. See how to use it in this article.
    Re-install CUPS If you are experiencing printer issues after applying an incremental Mac OS X update, problems may have occurred with your CUPS installation during the update process.
    The file is available from this Web site: http://www.cups.org/software.php, and is labeled cups-1.2.1.dmg
    Delete then re-add printers/Reset printing system Open Printer Setup Utility, located in Applications/Utilities and look at the "Printer List" Highlight and delete all entries.
    Alternatively, go to the "Printer Setup Utility" menu at the top of the screen and select "Reset Printing System".
    Click the "Add" button and re-add your printer(s).
    Gutenprint and usbtb Some users have been able to resolve printer communication issues by installing the excellent open-source Epson printer drivers available as part of the Gutenprint package (formerly known as Gimp-print) and usbtb, a CUPS back-end for USB printing.
    Remove non-required drivers Removing extraneous drivers from /Library/Printers(name of manufacturer) can sometimes resolve printer issues. Remove files that are for other models than your own.
    Re-install drivers Re-installation of printer drivers from original media or from a Web download (either directly through the manufacturers site or via a search by model/manufacturer on VersionTracker) can resolve some printer issues.
    Try disconnecting from network In some cases, LAN-connected printer, seemingly broken by the Mac OS X update can restored to normal operation by simply disconnecting the device from the network then re-connecting it.
    "Communicator Error" -- try power cycling If you receive a "Communication Error" message when attempting to print after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.5, the first workaround you should try is power cycling the printer, as well as disconnecting then re-connecting it to the Mac.
    Connecting directly to the Mac If you are having printer problems and are using an external USB hub, try connecting the printer directly to your Mac.
    One reader who had success with this method writes:
    "Unfortunately the update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 has eliminated the ability to use my Lexmark Z600 series USB printer on my iMac G5 20" iSight (rev C).
    "I resolved the problem via the following: I unplugged my external USB hub and plugged the printer directly to my computer."
    Disconnect from AirPort and reset For those who are using printers connected to an AirPort Express, Extreme or another wireless device with USB connections, you might want to try the following:
    Disconnect the printer from the AirPort unit (or other router)
    Wait a few minutes
    Plug it back in
    Restart the base station unit
    Check for your printer to appear in AirPort Admin Utility (located in Applications/Utilities)
    Print one copy In some cases, using print one copy instead of the standard print command can result in elimination of crashes that occur during printing.
    Try IP printing instead of AppleTalk Some Macs are unable to see AppleTalk printers that are located on the local AirPort (or other wireless) network. Several users have been able to workaround this issue by using IP printing instead of AppleTalk.
    Last resort -- Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing the somewhat tedious Archive and Install process, then re-upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.7. This has solved some otherwise inexplicable printer issues for MacFixIt readers.

  • My 4500 series printer is back in MI. I am currently in AZ with my 1410 series. I can't print from

    I have a laptop that goes back & forth from MI. to AZ.  Mi has the 4500 series, and AZ has the 1410 series.  Now my laptop shows the 4500 as offline & I can't print from my printshop, or Kodak files.  How do I put the 4500 back online???

    Did you want to print to your remote printer or are you trying to print to the 1410?
    If you have Windows 7 you could set your system up to have a different default printer in AZ than in MI.  To do this go to the Devices and Printers folder, right click on the local printer and in the menu bar near the top a new menu item will appear that allows managing default printers.  You would then be able to have the default printer change automatically when you change locality.
    You can also manually change your default printer.  If you have Windows go to the printers folder, right click on the desired printer and select Set as Default.
    If you are trying to print to the remote printer and it has gone offline (perhaps due to a temporary power outage) you may have to physically reset the printer or have someone local do it for you.

  • How can I print from Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8?

    I need to print information from my dropbox that is a .pdf format.  How can I print from ART for Windows8? I can't find the print icon nor does a right click give me the option to print.  I'm using a laptop, not a tablet. (And not loving Windows 8!)

    Please see FAQ: Printing a PDF file in Windows 8.
    If you are running Windows 8 on a laptop with an Intel-based processor, you can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) alternatively.
    Go to your Windows 8 desktop.
    Go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ in your browser.
    Download and install Adobe Reader XI.
    Launch Adobe Reader XI and open a PDF file.
    Select File > Print from the menu.
