Can't see printer

I was able to print to my HP1300n a few days ago. It was connected to an Airport Extreme which was connected to my Verizon FIOS router. Now I can't print to it for some reason. I deciced to connect the printer directly to my lap top but it still wouldn't work. I removed the printer from the printer list completely and now I can't even see it on my computer, the FIOS router if attached to there, nor the Airport Extreme if connected there. to be able to add it to the list. I have several other printers that I can see and print to but not my workhorse HP 1300n. I have swapped the cat5 cable several times. I can still see the HP 1300n on my old desktop silver tower and print to it from there but not from my MacBook Pro and I need to be able to print to it from here.
Suggestions?

So the only question is, why can't I print to the printer when hardwired and the laptops wifi is turned off?

Can't see printer or shares when connected via Internet Sharing

I recently switched from a 2006 to a 2008 Mac Pro. Rather than do a migration I simply took the hard drives from the old machine and put them in the new one.
I then upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I use Internet Sharing to share my Mac Pro's Ethernet connection via wifi, but the other Macs can't see the Mac Pro's printer or shares when connected in this way. They can access the internet. If I connect a machine via the LAN rather than Internet Sharing, the shares and printer are visible.
This worked fine on Lion on the old machine. Any ideas?

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

Data Modeler 4 Can't see printing page grid (page borders) in model diagram

Hello,
I've read that Data Modeler 4 now shows page borders for a diagram, so it would be much easier to prepare the diagram for printing on pages. I can't see these page grid border lines on my diagrams.
Can you please help me with configuring this?
I go to my "Relational Models", I see the diagram, I right-click on the diagram, select "Show" and I see "Grid", "Labels", "Legend", then I select "Grid" and I see dots on my diagram but no page border lines.
I have version 4.0.0.825 installed.
Thank you,
Milan

Thank you Philip.
I guess I was so happy about this new printing feature that I didn't read that last paragraph. You can guess that my next question is "do you know when is next release coming?".
I've been wondering for quite some time now, how is it possible that Oracle allows that printing diagrams in Data Modeler is so complicated. I know that product is free, but still, we are talking about Oracle standards here. They should just task a couple of managers involved in data modeler development to print a 50-table diagram on letter size pages (many people don't have access to a plotter), and they will quickly realize how complicated and time-wasting it is.
At the end, and if I'm not mistaken, blagodaram / благодарим

Xp wired machine with printer - wireless vista machine can't see printer

Installed wrt310n router - install went well - works great.
Machine A = xp machine with printer
Machine B = vista machine
Machine A is hard wired to wrt310n router with usp printer
Machine B cannot see printer.
tried several steps including checking firewall settings and making sure workgroup names the same - doesn't work

This is not a router problem. It is your computer settings. Both computers have to be on the same workgroup. Default in XP is MSHOME while the default in VISTA is WORKGROUP. Change workgroup to mshome.
In XP, run file & printer sharing wizard. Go to Printer & faxes and you should see a little hand under your printers. Note the name of the printer you want to use.
In Vista go to network. You should see all your computers listed. If not, click on Network & Sharing Centre and turn on Network discovery and file sharing. Set your network from public to private. Go back to network and click add a printer. Select network printer.
Your XP has to be online for the vista to connect to your printer.

Can't see printer name in the print dialog box as the printer name is too long

This is actually causing siginificant pain as I am using a tablet and moving around a number of floors/buildings needing to be able to print from where I am.
When printing from Acrobat reader, the print dialog box that comes up does not have a horizontal scroll bar and does not fit in the names of the printers in my organisation. We are unable to change the printer name, so it basically means that when using Acrobat, we can't select a printer.
All other windows applications show more characters and also have a horizontal scroll bar in the print dialog box so you can scroll across to see the rest of a long printer name. Why is acrobat not using the standard windows print dialog?
Has anyone come across this? Help!

This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. In the future you should check there. I am not sure why you can not change the printer name, unless you do not have administrator rights. The name of the printer has nothing to do with where the print copy is sent. It is just for the purpose you mentioned of identifying the printer to print to. If you are not the administrator, ask your IT folks to change the name for you and explain why.

IMac can't see printer connected to Windows 7 PC via USB

Hi all,
I have a mixed PC/Mac (Snow Leopard & Leopard) network and a Canon PIXMA MP780 printer connected to a PC running Windows 7. Last week, when this printer had XP on it, I could print. Since "upgrading" to Windows 7, the Macs can no longer see the PCs on the network. Clearly this is a Windows issue but I opened a support ticket with Microsoft and was told it is a Mac issue. (SOP for Microsoft) I'm hoping one of you has figured out how to get your Windows 7 PCs and Macs talking to each other. I can't manually add the printer to the Macs (can't even see the PCs) so we are dragging a USB around the office until we get it working. Fun all around.
Thanks, Denise

My best recommendation for the last 4 or 5 years has to been to only buy network (ethernet) printers. There are many available for under $100. Why put yourself and your office through constant changes caused by upgrading or changing computers? If the printer manufacturer makes drivers for your printer for the OS you want to use, then you're done.
This way, all of your OS's work with the printer in their own way, without having to make considerations for bugs or new services, or changes in the way the OS works on a particular computer. Also, if a computer dies, it doesn't take down your shared printer with it. The other computers don't have to even be turned on for you to print.

Can't see printer on PC with airport extreme

I've been running an Airport Extreme for a couple of years and the printer and internet work great. Just added a PC running Vista, I have to connect to the internet on my iBook before I can connect on the PC. The PC does not see the wireless printer to add it. Have tried changing printer sharing, but that doesn't help.

Got lucky to phrase my question correctly once which lead me to iFelix posting on the proper sequencing of a TCP/IP port connection. Is that right? anyway, it worked perfectly. Thankyou iFelix!

Can't see printer through windowsxp printer hp

hello. just bought a new imac. i am trying to set up the printer - hp laserjet 3300 - mfp series (usb). I cannot see it through the printer browser setup (more printers ..). All it shows is the windows computer(win1 say). When I choose this win1 name it says "connect to the printer "win1" as: name and password.
But this isn't the name of the printer!! Bit confused. I didn't have to do anything special to connect the other windows xp machine to the printer (oh actually I had to run the hp cd and let it do the network finding thing- I did that on mac but didn't give me the same network setup options)
I can see files and connect to the windows maching through the network and I can print from other connected windows xp machines (both xp pro sp2).
Anyway, I don't expect a response, but if there is anyone out there with similar solved problems,I'd love to hear them
Thanks
Martin

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

Can't see printer connected to Airport

I and an Airport Express (AE) unit as my main router and set up a second AE with the intention of being able to send documents to my printer wirelessly. The Airport Utility says the connection is good, and the printer is connected by USB cable to the second AE, but Word cannot see the printer.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Never mind my post. I found one from Pahu stating that the Canon MF4350d printer that I have is not compatible with Airport Express. He says that the MF4350dn (a different model) will work if connected to Airport express with an internet cable. Other people apparently have experienced this problem also, so I guess it's back to the wires.

Airport Express can't see printer

I have a Brother HL-2040 laser connected to a brand new Airport Express. The AE unit works fine in all other respects but doesn't seem to see the printer. When I go to printer utility and click "add" nothing shows. When I look in the airport admin utility there is no usb printer shown. I have unplugged and replugged the various things, restarted my Macbook etc. Any suggestions? Very frustrating! Many thanks.
PS--Brother's support page specifically says this printer should work with 10.4.x via Printer Setup Utility.

Well I must apologize--I had failed to fully insert the usb cable at one end. When I corrected this the printer was immediately recognized and now works fine.

System can't see printer on APEx USB?

After an HP software upgrade, Printer Setup (Apple and HP versions) can not detect an HP Photosmart 7660 connected to the USB port on Airport Extreme, but can detect it when connected directly to the G5's ports.
Uninstalled the upgrade, reinstalled the old version, but the problem still exists...

I am having the same problem (with a HP PSC 2110 all-in-one) It was working until yesterday morning, I printed something. 2 hours later I tried to print, but it wouldn't.
Please help as I have coursework deadlines soon,
Tom

Can't see printer connected to AEBS

The internet modem is connected to the LAN port, the iMac is connected to one of the ethernet ports and the printer is connected to the AE USB port. The printer shows as offline to the iMac. If I plug the printer into an iMac USB it shows Printer Ready. How do I get the iMac to find the printer on the AE?

How do I get the iMac to find the printer on the AE?
You did not mention whether you had "installed" the printer again (using Print & Fax in System Preferences) when you connected the printer to the USB port on the AEBS.
Did you "install" the printer at the AEBS?
If you did, you will see your printer twice in Print and Fax because the printer has been installed at two locations....one at your iMac and the other at the AEBS.

However, when setting up my printer in the CUPS web interface, there is no option for a Brother HL-2130. Any clues as to why this is?
EDIT: Stupid question, bad research, apologies. The driver was in the list offered by CUPS, it was just not listed in order because of a missing hyphen. My bad.

The Mozilla WHITE start page is blocking the upper left Firefox to Print to Print Preview, so i can not see what is on the Printer Glass

The BIG WHITE MOSTLY BLANK , MOZILLA START PAGE was blocking my use of PRINT PREVIEW, from the orange "Firefox" in the upper left corner.
I was told i was using an out of date version of Firefox.
But no "click here to update".
So i downloaded the new edition of Firefox.
And still, i can not see PRINT PREVIEW, because the large white screen of the MOZILLA START PAGE is blocking it.
I have selected a background wallpaper, so would rather not see ANY of the BIG WHITE START PAGE, at all !!
HEEEELP,,,,,,

Hi,
Can you please post a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot] of the start page when it is blocking the print preview. Please note that you may have to change to the tab of the site to be printed to see the print preview of the page.
