Can't see printers in cups 1.5

Hi,
I have cups 1.5.4 installed and Samsung ML2510 printer which is running (I could print test page), but I can't see my printer in my network.
What can I do for detecting the causes of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Xan.
PS: Please don't say that I have to upgrade to cups 1.6, because I have to have CUPS protocol, and not avahi protocol.

thanks, jasonwryan, but I but clients.conf pointing to my server, I get the same result: I can't see printers.
The configuration is in the client:
$ cat /etc/cups/client.conf

With the same server configuration, I have debian with another cups server (1.4.4 version) and I see printers in this sever, but in the archlinux, not.
I don't know what it fails. The error_log has not any errors:

Have AirPort Utility ver 6.1. Can't see printers or external hard drives. I could in earlier version. What gives?

With Airport Utility ver 6.1 can't see printers or hard drives. Dont' even see where to go for those screens. Was much easier in earlier versions. Question: How do I setup ext hard drives and printers in ver 6.1?

You don't need to "see" the printer for it to operate correctly using AirPort Utilty 6.1. If the printer was previously installed, it should continue to operate correctly. If you have a new printer, just install the device according to the manufacturers's instructions.
As far as being able to "see" a disk in AirPort Utility 6.1. Try the following:
Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort device, then click Edit in the next box that appears.
Click the Disks tab at the top of the setup window.

Can't see printers on TC

I have a TC connected by ethernet cable to my main wireless Linksys router. The first iMac is attached to it via ethernet cable. The second iMac ws just added and is attached to the Linksys router via ethernet cable. There is an HP Laserjet 5M attached to a LAN port on the TC. There is also a USB color printer attached to the USB port on the TC. The new iMac can not see the HP Laserjet 5M at all. It can see the USB printer just fine. Thinking two routers may cause some unusuall things to happen on the network, I decided to set the TC as a bridge. When I set it in this manner I get the following error:
"Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname."
In order to get Time Machine running again and network operations back to some degree of capability, I have rolled the 7.6.3 firmware back to 7.6.1.
It appears I can't share an ethernet capable printer on the network with the TC as a router or as a bridge. Do I need to throw it out and get some real network equipment? I hope to stay the course but am losing patience with Apple. Is there anyway to get access to my printer using a TC?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Your assumption is correct, it is not possible to have everything connected to the Linksys. I think there may be a misunderstanding. The original and current setup in play is that the TC is set to join the current (Linksys) wireless network.
This is your problem.. I thought you had ethernet connection..
You have used join a wireless network.. TC does not change to router.. it changes to nothing much of anything client mode.. In other words, the TC is now a dumb client of the Linksys.. ethernet is turned off.
HP 169.254.111.121
Mac1 169.254.215.89
Hence these are self generated IP addresses. Not allocated by Linksys or TC.
You simply cannot mix apple and non-apple routers in this way.. apple wireless bridge is only for other apple apple routers.
You must connect the two devices by ethernet or ethernet equivalent.. like Homeplug (EOP adapters).
Or you must buy another apple router to introduce it as a WAP plugged by ethernet into the linksys to make the wireless bridge to the TC.

XP clients can't see printers made available via Print Services on 10.4.10

Hi
Having problems attaching XP clients to an HP4730mfp via Print Services on OS X Server 10.4.10.
I've enabled SMB and LPR for the required queue but when browsing for the printer on an XP machine, while the print server is listed, no printers are available.
I have tried enabling Bonjour and running Bonjour for Windows and, while it claimed to have set up correctly, a print job completes successfully on the XPP machine but never arrives at the print server, let alone the printer.
Any suggestions?

I do not have guest access on, because I want to monitor who is printing, but also have no file shares either - I want to keep separation between file and print servers.
Finally found an (the?) answer.
1. Set up a standard TCP/IP port pointing to the IP address.
2. When the "Additional port info required" message turns up, choose 'Custom'.
3. Set to LPR (and tick 'LPR Byte Counting Enabled" - optional?)
4. Continue...
Strangely, this didn't appear to work will SMB was enabled in the print queue but it did when the queue was LPR only (maybe I just imagined that).
Not the best solution but it works for my situation.

CUPS: Can't see any jobs

I can't see shared printers from a Mac with Leopard

Hi there we got a new MacPro that came with Leopard but when I want to add the printers shared by two old Macs it can't see them, it only find and HP Color LaserJet 2600n that was shared on a Mac Book. The other Macs has OSX 10.3.9 (a G5) and 10.3 (a G4), one share a HP LaserJet 1200 and the other an Epson Inkjet Printer. We also have a MacPro (a core 2 duo) with OSX 10.4 that can find all the printers.
I was wondering if the version of the old Macs has something to do with my problem, maybe the Leopard can't reach them or something like that.
Thanks
PERCY

Have a look at this article from Apple
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306984
It covers the issues with Leopard seeing printers shared by 10.3.

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.

After none of these hints worked for me I plugged my Xerox Phaser 6120 into an airport express base station via USB. Even though Apple does not say that the Bonjour for Windows printer wizard works for Vista, it does. Download it from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html and install it on your PC.

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,

Can't see my printers ... jst installed Snow Leopard

My HP 2100TN worked with system 10.5 ... Now with 10.6 there is no way to add another printer
Also I have an HP Photosmart C6280 scanner / inkjet that only shows off line ... It prints directly with the USB connection but not through the wireless network.
Also I bought a Mac pro laptop for my son last year and never did get the Laserjet 2100TN to work ... now with updated syytem software neither of us can see the printer
Apple's support and instruction on this using Bonjour is very very poor

Suddenly can't see any printers!!!

Help!!! I suddenly can't see either of my printers... a very old LaserWriter 5800, and also a Canon color printer. I'm posting this via my Airport network connection, so that obviously works. I'm also seeing one of two other computers on the network under Shared in the Finder window. The other two devices I'm seeing are the Canon printer's Fiery processor and the Airport base station. I upgraded to Leopard almost immediately, and this only happened today. Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance!!!

Updating the situation (still need help!!!)... I restarted everything network-related (cable modem, firewall, switch, and Airport) and now I can see both printers in the Default and AppleTalk windows of the Print & Fax system preference, but ONLY when I'm hardwired into the network. When accessing through Airport instead of ethernet cable, I can only see Bonjour shared printers on a colleague's machine? Any ideas?? Thanks very much in advance!

Can't see any bonjour network printers

I have a MBP 17" running 10.6.8 and I've lost the functionality to see or add any network printers.
It was running 10.5 and I lost the ability to see or add new printers. I reset the printing system and then lost the ability to see any network printers at all. It still recognizes our HP printers when plugged in via USB, but not over the network. So I upgraded to 10.6.8 today to see if that would solve the issue. It didn't.
I go into system preferences and try to add a printer but it shows that there are no available printers. Even though on my MBP 15" I can see both of our HP printers over the network just fine.
I can add the printer via the IP address and choosing the correct driver but I'm still unable to print. I CAN print a test page from the HP Print Utility...so it can see and talk to the printer (HP Photosmart Premium c140), but I still can't see it under the Print and Fax preference pane.
I'm at a loss here.
Does anyone know why I would loose the ability to see any Bonjour devices over the network? Any thoughts on solutions?

I have an HP c309a All-In-One printer and am having a similar problem. After upgrading to 10.6.8, I can no longer scan wirelessly but I can still print. Bonjour seems to have disappeared and is no longer a means to connect to my printer. It will only connect via Bluetooth. My mother has the same printer and OS and she too said she's having problems scanning.
I've tried to scan using HP scan software, Preview and Image Capture to no avail. Of course, the Apple Tech said I should talk to HP which I did. The HP guy said, I should be able to use Bonjour and that there is probably a conflict between Bonjour and Bluetooth. If he gave me anymore advice, it would cost me $20 because the 2 year old printer is out of warranty. Ridiculous.

Mac can not see any printers.

Mac can not see any printers.
I have 2 other computers (1 windows / 1 Mac Book) using the printers just fine but once device can not even find a printer. Any ideas?
Printer is Ricoh Aficio MP C3501
The computer could not find the printers so I cleared them from system preferences. Updated everything, including downloading the most up to date driver, restarted and still can not see any printers.
Thank you for your help,

Hello ddelin,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I realize that two out of your three computers can see your printer, but one MacBook Pro will not. You have also done some great troubleshooting by deleting the printer, installing drivers, and trying to re-add the printer. If the issue continues, I would suggest resetting the printing system. Please use the attached article for more information.
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Best regards,
Joe

[SOLVED] CUPS: Can't see printer driver from AUR

I have installed the package brother-hl2130 frm the aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-hl2130

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.

On Mac OS 10.5, can't print to Linux CUPS printing server

We attached a USB printer to a Linux server, which is CUPS1.3.8 installed.
The printer is Epson Stylus CX5900.
Printing from another Linux with CPUS is OK.
But I can NOT print from my MacOSX10.5 system.
I tried IPP, SMB, no success.
Visit the http://127.0.0.1:631 on Mac, the CUPS on Mac even can not discovery the printer shared by Linux server.
If I add added the printer as samba on MacOS, it will report
/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Filter/rastertoescp.app/Contents/MacOS/ras tertoescp failed
I see many users report printing issues on MacOSX10.5 on the Internet.
What's the matter?
As I know, MacOSX10.4 can print to printer on Linux CUPS server.

Slow down a bit and think this through.
CUPS on linux is nearly identical to CUPS on OS X - but there is no Mac-to-Mac Apple proprietary print sharing. Rather, on linux you are sharing the printer using standard printing protocols. Just like on the Mac (when using the standard protocols like Windows/SMB or IP printing), linux print queues expect postscript input. Try using a generic postscript driver from the mac.
And when you add the printer via Windows Printing or IP > LPD or IPP, you will need to know the queue name for that printer from the linux box. (one computer with one IP address can have multiple printers - so what's the additional address info to print to your desired printer? - queue name.)

Bonjour services disappear - can't see speakers in iTunes

Hi,
I guess this might not be the correct forum but I can't seem to find anywhere else it may sit. I am having issues with certain bonjour services not running on my iMac, this is mainly affecting speakers being shown in iTunes. I don't have a problem with my mac book on the same network, I wonder if anyone can advise what I can do.
Thanks

I run a studio where there are 3 Macs, each one running a different version of Mac OS X (Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard) and only my Mac (Snow Leopard) can see printers, iTunes servers or speakers connected over Bonjour (both the printer and speakers are connected with an Airport Express)...
