Can't print from XP Machine to an OSX Shared Printer

Hi All,
I already configured my Epson RX 620 in OSX, it's printing perfectly. I turned on the printer Sharing and the Windows Sharing in OS X. Then I found my iMac in my XP explorer, connected to the shared printer, set the drivers in XP and print the test page....
That's where the problem started!
The job is submitted to the OS X Printer QUEUE, but it's not being printed.
It said "smbprn.0000000003 Test Page Finished", but I am getting no output from the printer...
Any idea?
Jose Febus

Sorry....I just needed to change the driver in the XP machine to Apple COlor LaserJet!
My only concern is that I am not able to select the quality in the XP machine....

How to set up printing from my mac to a windows shared printer.

I'm trying to print to an HP PSC 1610 All in One printer. Everything is good in the set up while adding a new printer on the mac. The windows workgroup shows up as does the printer. My problem is that the particular model does not show up in the drop down list of HP printers. How can I add it to that list, or basically, how can I get it to work?
Thanks for your help.

So here's how you might be able to do this. I am not 100% if it will work or not, but in theory it sounds promising. HP has printers which support AirPlay and another feature they call ePrint. AirPlay is Apple's standard for allowing you to print from the iPad to an AirPlay-compatible printer. But it requires that both the iPad and printer are on the same WiFi network. You can use the tethering feature of the iPad (it costs extra from AT&T or Verizon so check into that) to create a WiFi hotspot. I assume this would allow you to connect the printer to the hotspot and then use AirPlay to print to it, although I am not certain if the printer is able to connect to a hotspot via the tethering feature. Or you can use the ePrint feature of the printer in which you "email" your document to the printer and it prints it. Again, it would require that the printer be connected (tethered) to a WiFi hotspot first. You'd also need a way to plug the printer into your truck - I know some newer vehicles actually provide a standard 110V recipticle vs. the cigarette lighter style.

Is there any way I can print from my iPad 2 to a shared printer

I have a printer that I share across a Wireless network. Is there any way I can print from my iPad2 using this printer?

Graham-
As Julian mentioned, you may be able to run a program on a network computer that shares its printers over WiFi as if they were AirPrint. Printopia is one, and you may be able to find some free options if you search. This approach requires that the WiFi network supports AirPrint by correctly handling Bonjour data, and that the host computer be available any time you want to print.
Another approach is to run an App on the iPad such as Print n Share. Check out the EuroSmartz web site <http://www.eurosmartz.com/> to see if that might work for you.
If your printer happens to be from Hewlett Packard, there is a free iPad App that may help, "HP iPrint Photo".

Borderless printing from Windows 7 64 to a shared printer on XP Pro system.

I recently bought a new dv7 HP laptop with Windows 7 64 bit to replace a Dell laptop running XP. The XP laptop and other XP systems can print to my HP PSC2410 connected to a XP pro system fine. The XP systems can print both 8x10, 5x6 or 4x6 borderlessly fine. However, the new HP laptop with Windows 7 does NOT even have the option of 4x6 or 5x7size paper! If I connect the printer directly to the win7 system, that works, but when I print to the same printer via the XP pro "shared printer", most of the paper size options go away.
I found a post that shows how to present a 4x6 paper size option to the win7 system which now works, but borderless printing to the 4x6 paper doesn't work. The 4x6 photos all print with thin white borders. Please tell me I don't have to replace my PSC2410 printer in order to print from my new windows 7 system (borderlessly) via a network!

Firstly please check to see if your printer in the 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:

PC, get this:

Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first to print from safari notes print no problem any suggestions?

Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first time i have attempted to print from safari , notes print fine no problems. It is like on a desktop my print is sitting in the queue there are error messages only the usual print dialogue. I've turned the printer off and back on with no luck any suggestions?

That's very strange. See if clearing the cache in Safari will make it work. I'll include the steps below. If that doesn't help, install a different browser, such as Opera, to see if that will print from pages that Safari won't. If it will, then something is wrong with Safari. If it doesn't print, then the web pages might have printing blocked. There are sites that are doing that for copyright reasons. Let me know what you find.
To clear the cache on Safari:
Open Settings.
Select Safari
Touch Clear Cache.
Select Clear.
Touch Clear Cookies.
Select Clear.
Touch Clear History.
Select Clear.

Renamed multiple files iTunes Match. Can I restore from time machine?

Hi
Hopefully someone might be able to assist.
I downloaded a live album from a bands official store on their website.
After importing into my itunes library, I tried to rename the two discs so that they appeared as one album, (I've done this lots of times before).
Stupidly, I was rushing before I had to leave the house, was unaware that is actually selected 50 albums and accidently renamed a large number of files as one album!!!
It's made slightly more complicate because I have iTunes Match and they were all stored in the cloud.
Can I restore from time machine and manually update iTunes Match?
Amy help would be appreciated
Thanks

when i say right clicking, i mean in itunes, right clicking the song and going get info and then changing the properties via the info tab.
yehh i done the grouping tracks together by holding down the command key.
but because i have some smart playlists with the same songs in, i changed both the genre and grouping not realising, this was ok for one smart playlist but totally messed the other up, especially because in for example "dance classics" smart playlist, there also in a folder on my hdd, . and thats the playlist i messed up., but if i drag the folder back into itunes, there all over the show on itunes and in the other playlist too, hence why it isnt as easy to easilly sort and rectify.
so what id like to do is just copy the folder again from my time machine backup, replacing the files but im unsure if this would solve it.

Can you print from a USB Drive on HO HP printer?

I have an HP LaserJet MFP 276np all-in-one printer. Is it possible to print from a USB Drive inserted in the printer. If so, please give directions.
Thank you,

Hi @Coach1966,
I read your post and see that you would like to know if you can print from a USB drive, inserted in the printer. I would be happy to provide that information for you.
Your printer supports flash drives. Supported file types from the front port include PDF and RGB JPEG.
The following information is provided by the printer's manual on page 50. LASERJET PRO 200 COLOR MFP.
Walk-up USB printing:
1. Insert the USB drive into the USB port on the front of the product.
2. The USB Flash Drive menu opens. Touch the arrow buttons to scroll through the options.
Print Documents
View and Print Photos
Scan to USB Drive
3. To print a document, touch the Print Documents screen, and then touch the name of the folder on the USB drive where the document is stored. When the summary screen opens, you can touch it to adjust the settings. Touch the
Print button to print the document.
4. To print photos, touch the View and Print Photos screen, and then touch the preview image for each photo that you want to print. Touch the Done button. When the summary screen opens, you can touch it to adjust the settings. Touch the Print button to print the photos.
5. Retrieve the printed job from the output bin, and then remove the USB drive.

I can't print from iPhoto on my new Epson XP820 printer. Any suggestions?

I can't print from iPhoto on my new Epson XP820 printer. I can print from other applications, like Word or Mail. Any suggestions?

Did you check software update or App Store to see if the printer is among
those Epson models who may have an update download available now?
Of course, some of these printers, even though wi-fi, may require the wire
to set them up for first-use, to be identified. Both my Epsons appear twice,
for wi-fi and again with USB. So I named each appearance, different. So it
is possible to tell in more than one way, which setup that was selected. A few
features do not correctly work in instances where drivers differ.
The latest Epson update helped my newer computer connect to oldest Epson.
Even though a 1.3GB huge Epson drivers file did not help, & OS X didn't see it.
Hopefully the they included an adequate quick-setup guide, though that may
have been for Mavericks, etc. Yet your iPhoto issue may be something else.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I print from my iPad 3 using a USB printer attached to my time capsule via the network. Thanks!

You might want to take a look at an app called Printopia to see if it will do what you want. There is a free trial, so you will know if it will work before you buy.
