Can´t print on my Shared Printers

After Mavericks upgrade I can't print to my shared printers. The shared printer's are one Canon MP210 and one Canon MP 240. They are connected to an iBook with 10.5.8 with the most recent drivers from canon.
Both printers are printing fine with my other computers and I'm also capable of printing with Mavericks computer when I make a direct usd connection,
I also can share files beteween the iBook and the iMac w/Mavericks. I can even share the screen. But when i try to print I get the error: Stopped on server - Unable to write uncompressed document data
Any ideias?
I already reset the printing system
Download the latest drivers

Hi PAHU,
Thanks for your reply.
Both drivers are the same. The ones in the iBook and the ones in the iMac and other computers.
I can print from these drivers on the iMac as long as I do it with a direct USB connection. I can also print with the same drivers from all the others computers to the shared iBook and from the iBook.
It seems a communications issue on mavericks...

Tiger machines can't print to Leopared shared printer

I have an HP Laserjet 1320 connected to my Mac Mini (Leopard) and this works as expected with that machine. I have tried sharing this, and other machines on my network (all running Tiger) can connect to port 631 on the Mini and print test pages. However, they can't actually print anything from any application. Instead, a dialog box saying simply "Error while printing" pops up.
All the Mini's cups logs look fine, but the other machines say such things as:
I [13/Nov/2007:20:09:26 +0000] Added remote printer "HPLaserJet_1320series@utovogh"...
E [13/Nov/2007:20:09:35 +0000] getprinterattrs: resource name '/printers/ ' no good!
Configuring the printer as an IPP printer rather than relying on bonjour gives different effects. The job starts to print but then the printer is stopped. The printing machines' logs say:
I [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Connected to utovogh.local...
D [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Getting supported attributes...

E [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Destination printer does not exist!
Has anyone any suggestions?

Eventually I discovered the following.
When setting up the client machines to print to the shared printer, the machine hosting the printer identified itself with bonjour as $HOSTNAME.local. Upon looking at http://localhost:631 on the client machines I noticed that the printer was identified as $PRINTER_NAME@$HOSTNAME, the ".local" part having disappeared. So, the solution was to add an entry to /etc/hosts on the clients.
Next, to find out why printing is so slow from the clients...

Can't print to a shared printer on 10.6.8 iMac from Windows 7 iMac

I am creating another discussion as I made some changes and hoping PAHU-san will be able to solve this problem. I am using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 iMac and Windows7 iMac. I installed the driver Canon LBP6750 UFRII on each machine and both can print. However, printing from Windows 7 iMac to a shared printer on the Mac OSX 10.6.8 does not print anything and has no errors.
Here are some logs. If you need additional information, please let me know.

PAHU, Thank you for looking into this. I have been working on this for a long time, and hoping that purchasing these two Canon printers are not a mistake. My iMac 10.6.8 is not directly connected to a printer by USB, but through protocol IPP (I have also tested with HP Jetdirect). I am doing this because I would like the iMac 10.6.8 to be a print server and have client machines (iMac 10.6.8 clients and iMac Windows 7) print through the print server. I have tried the following on the iMac 10.6.8 and have the following errors

Can't print to a shared windows printer

My girlfriend's computer is running Windows XP and there is a shared printer connected to it. I've tried several combinations of paths to the printer in the CUPS configuration (lpd://.... smb://.... etc.) but have had no luck. I've been able to add the printer to my configuration locally, but when I try to print, it will say the print failed.
The printer requires no authentication to have print jobs sent to it. What can I do to make this work?

Can I print on non-USB printers connected to Ethernet hub?

I just connected an Airport Extreme base station to my DSL modem and pre-existing ethernet hub. (The old hub connects my old G4 running OS 9.2 to an HP 5MP laser printer and a Canon Pixma IP 4000.) Then I booted my brand new MacBook 13 and established Internet connectvity through the base station. My question is, should I expect the Airport Extreme base station to also recognize the existence of the two printer attached to my old ethernet hub? Or does the Mac Book have access only to printers that are wired to the base station?
Any advice appreciated.
MacBook 13 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
MacBook 13 Mac OS X (10.4.6) pre-existing ethernet hub attaching G4/466 MHz/OS9.2 with HP 5MP laser printer and a Canon Pixma IP

Airport Extreme has a WAN port (should be connected to DSL), and a LAN port - that's where you should connect the hub. Then your network will be mostly like it was before and the printers will be recognized.

How to print on Windows Shared Printer

As I search in Google I found that there are many question about hot to print on windows shared printers. This is the way....
Before you add your windows shared printers in you Mac, sometimes you can not find your printer driver. The only way is directly connect your windows shared printers to you Mac, and connect your Mac to internet. After that your mac will automatically download printer driver. Now you have to add windows shared printers to your mac (this is part is easy..I'm not going to explain this...), and after you select the right driver you still can NOT print to windows shared printers ? You already have user & password for PC that connected to the windows shared printers...but nothing happened in your printer...
Soooo.....
All you have to do is :
1. Go to system pref on mac
2. Click on sharing - thick on "file sharing"
3. Go to "option" and then thick on "share files & folders using AFP" & thick on "share files & folders using SMB (windows)"
4. Dont forget to thick on you account name below...
5. You're good to go...
6. Please note that you have to know the PC Windows user & password that connected to the shared printer.

Hello Greg & Hello PAHU...
Yesterday everything is fine for printing to windows shared printer. But after I update my XP, problems came up again....
And thanks to your link Greg, you are absolutly right about the driver...the problem is the driver...
And your link is solving my problem (until know....) and you are right too PAHU, without thicking File Sharing feature in my Mac, I still can printing with windows shared printer...
And with this reply I admitted that my information above maybe wrong, and the real solver to my problem is to install gutten-print driver :http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Thanks guys you're the best...now I live happily with my MBA

Printing on a shared printer from our new iPad on our home network

How can I send a print job to a shared printer on our home network? The iPad uses this network's WiFi capability.

It depends on the printer. iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are capable of using AirPrint.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

Can I print to a canon ir c3220 from an iPad? If so, how?

I'm a newbie to the iPad and a bit of a Luddite when it comes to tech... I have a canon ir c3220 at home and want to print to it. The printer does not have wireless, it connects to a wireless router/modem via cable. all other computers print ok.

iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are capable of using AirPrint.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint - enabled printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac running handyPrint (donation - supported).

Can you print from the iPad?

I ordered my iPad on 6/7 but won't get it till 6/24, its on back-order, DARN!! Anyway I have what may be a silly question: Can you print from the iPad using a USB cord from the printer? I pay bills online and like to have a hard copy of the receipt. Really looking forward to getting it.

To gloworm: regarding working with only one app open at a time, that should be taken care of when OS4 is available for the iPad - supposedly in the fall. As for using Air Sharing to print, you have to 1st get your files into the app via wifi from your computer. I have Air Sharing for both my phone and iPad and really like it. Once your files are in the app you just bring them up and touch the bottom left corner of iPad to bring up print. You can then print to any shared printer. I also use PrintCentral and like it for printing as well.

Shared printers disappearing after Adding

Every time I try and print to a shared printer on a wireless network, it only works once. The next time I start the application the added printer is gone.

I'm having a similar problem. When I'm at the office I print to 2 shared printers that are attached to other Macs on our network. At the end of the day I take my MacBook Pro home with me. When I come back to the office in the morning and plug into the network, all my printers are no longer listed in my print dialogue windows. I have to "Add Printer" to get them to show up, then they work just fine all day. But then the same thing happens the next day, and the next day, etc. The printers that have been directly plugged into my MacBook Pro are always listed and they never disappear. Solution anyone?

Printing From iBook To Printer on a Vista, Can't see Vista 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. 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. 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.

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.
thanks,

Epson shared printers- can't control print quality

Hi someone,
We have an espon stylus photo 1280, and an epson stylus photo R200.
Both are connected to one Intel iMac via USB.
We have 2 other Macs - one iMac G5, and Mac mini G5 which are sharing these printers. All have the latest Tiger OS 10.4.6.
They print fine, but the problem we're having is that the 2 computers which are using the printers via the network do not have access to Epson's special utilities when in the print dialogue screen - ie: they cannot change the print quality, paper stock, black vs colour etc. when just about to print.
The only one that does have access to Epson's controls is the one which is connected via USB.
We also can not see the printers from the other 2 macs in the Printer Browser when searching for them using appletalk, or epson appletalk etc....only in the Default Browser as "Shared Printers"
Does this have something to do with it?
How can we get the 2 Macs which are using the printers as "shared printers" access to the epson print options?
thanks!
Intel iMac, iMac g5, Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Are your printers "networked" as in using ethernet, or are they simply shared, using the OSX shared printers feature? I think it makes a difference.
I had a similar problem. My printer, an Epson 1280 is connected to mu iMac G4 via USB, and is shared by my MacBook Pro. I was unable to access the Epson print utility features that allow setting quality, borderless prints, etc. I contacted Epson and they sent me the following fix. it took care of the problem. I can change the settings from either the primary iMac or from the shared printer on the Laptop.
To correct the issue you are experiencing, we will perform a complete
removal of the files and reinstall the driver.

HT1150 I have two shared printers and I want to be able to select the printer when it is time to print without having to set a default EACH time. Can I just have a prompt to ask me which printer to use???

I have two shared printers and I want to be able to select one printer when it is time to print without having to set a default EACH time. Can I just have a prompt or dialog box that will ask me which printer would you like to use??? The only options I can find are "default" and "Last printer used" which means I must go into the Print & Fax area and change the default EACH time I want to print??? Seems very low tech.....

In most cases you get this dialog box every time you print. It is called the print dialog and normally when you print, a print dialog appear showing the printer that is to be used. Which printer you see will be based on what you have set in Print & Fax as you mention. But regardless of what you have set there, you still have the option to change the printer via the print dialog.
If you are using an application that does not show the print dialog, like MS Word and that stupid "print one copy" print icon in the toolbar, then you can often change the action the print icon uses so that the print dialog appears.
