Cannot connect to wifi printer

I have a new macbook pro and am trying to set it up to print to a shared canon ip1000 connected to an xp pc . I have a netgear router.
I can access the printer and set it as the default printer on the MBP. When I send a job to the print queue, the job shows as "Printing" for about 5 minutes, then disappears. Nothing comes out on the printer.
I think I have the network set up properly as the MBP can read and write files to shared directories on the xp pc and vice versa. (I can print to the printer over the network using an xp laptop.)
If I enter smbtree in an X11 terminal, I can see the printer as attached to the xp pc.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this greatly appreciated.Thanks

Hello Sylvb369,
It sounds like you have an AirPrint capable printer, but are unable to print from it. I want to recommend starting at step 2 of this troubleshooting assistant:
AirPrint setup and troubleshooting
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/airprint/#section_2
Connecting to your printer
Verify Wi-Fi is enabled and that you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your printer.
Open an application that supports AirPrint, including Safari, Mail, and Photos. Apps from the App Store may require an update to use AirPrint.
Choose the content you want to print and tap the appropriate icon to display the option to Print.
Select your printer and tap Print.
If you are unable to print, the next section can assist with setting up your printer and troubleshooting basic issues.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

My new IPad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of the reception. In the same location, my PC and my smart phone get a full bar connection without any issues. How can I do to fix the issues (can I switch to IPad 2)?

My new Ipad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of reception. In the same location, my Windows 7 PC and Andorid Smart phone can connect to the same WIFI without any issues. How can I fix it? Without WIFI, the WIFI only IPAD is nearly useless. If it cannot be fixed, can I get a replacement for IPad 2?

Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a replacement.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

MY iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi after updating to ios 8.1.1

after updating to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi at all.
at first, connection will show up, but when i tried to connect, i will see the wifi logo but after 15 or 30 seconds, connection will be lost again.
i will try again, but this time, my phone will hang, i need to restart but then, wifi will not work at all.
it will show that its searching for network but its not. then it will hang again,
after this, give up already.
my phone is working perfectly fine until updating my ios to 8.1.1.
the problem is i cannot upgrade again as i cannot connect to wifi.

Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings. If you can't turn WiFi on see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.

Hi
I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.
I have tried the suggested from below;
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=uk&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=507...
I have not tried to assign the static IP address suggested in step 6 on the web link above, I am not that technical & do not fully understand how to perform this task & am surprised HP expect retail client to follow this, if is a bit technical I think you must agree.
Anyway, the WiFi or Wireless blue led is blinking.
If I try to discover my wireless network, it is not displaye like it used , nor are my neighbors, my mobile Samsung Galaxy S displays my network and my neighbors when the phone in placed by my 7510.
When I try to enter the SSID & key, my 7510 times out without connecting to my router.
My pc is connected directly to my router (Buffalo) and I use a Fujitsu Desktop running Win 7 32bit.
By the way, I have done a "Factory reset" to my 7510 & this did not help at all.
Can anyone help?
Is my 7510 faulty?
Thanks in advance.

I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum.

Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access.

MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access. It will connect if I connect to my iPhone hot spot via wifi. Any ideas?

If you follow this video you'll see how to delete your WiFi AP from the OS, this will allow you to select it again which I feel will correct your problem.

My win 7 home premium cannot connect the sharing printer (EPSON L1100) in Windows server 2003 it say "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"

in My office there is a win server 2003 R2 computer, i install a printer Epson L1100 in that computer, and it successfull, and i can print using that printer from that computer..
I already share this printer, but when i try to connect the printer from my laptop using OS Win 7 Home Premium.. it has error
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"...
and then i try connect using other computer but same OS (win 7 Home premium) it still has same error...
i usually connect to the server computer using //(the ip of computer) , for example
//52.30.20.66 .. that is my IP server..
and than i right click in shared printer which appears in windows explorer, and i choose
Connect... but it contain error "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"..
anyone know the solution from this error???
i`m sorry if my english is bad.. i`m from indonesia

Got a local password/username on your Win7 ? Create the same on the 2003R2 as you seem in workgroup
net user /add useraccountname mypassword
net localgroup users useraccountname /add (I think it's users the name, you can validate to be sure) or
net localgroup administrators useraccountname /add in worst case.
nb, or add the user guess in the printer share security

Windows cannot connect to the printer the local print spooler service is not running please restart the spooler or restart the m

We have 7 computers on a local network 3 of them have local printers 2 and are brand new Vista equiped. we shared the local printers on the vista machines but they are unaccessable from one vista to the other... it works from an XP to a Vista, but not from a Vista to a Vista.... go figure.... When we try to add the printers, the error message that we get is: "windows cannot connect to the printer. the local print spooler service is not running. please restart the spooler or restart the machine."
I would appreciate any help...
Thank you

This worked for me. GP
Problem : error 1075 and Local print spooler service is not running.
problem description : I have a Lexmark x4270 all in one. I installed the driver for it in my new laptop running Vista. Turns out the driver is not for Vista but XP. I uninstalled the XP driver and downloaded a Vista driver from Lexmark. When I try to run the printer software I get a message "Local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." I tried all of that. I have looked this problem up on the web and it is quite common with Vista. Many of the "solutions" say it is a problem with an incomplete removal of the incorrect printer driver and they show how to correct in the registry. I am not comfortable tinkering with the registry and thought I'd consult with you first.
I tried "everything" I could to fix the problem of getting "error 1075" fixed in my HP laptop running Vista. HP came up with simple solution below. The regedit part is what fixed mine. I did not need the safe mode part. I think Lexmark should add the solution to your knowledge base.
==============================
From HP: Please perform the below given steps in safe mode to resolve the issue.
Reboot your notebook and press F8. The system will show some booting options select safe mode.
Note: Starting computer in safe mode may take some time.
Uninstall the printer using Programs and Features from the control panel of your notebook.
Uninstalling any software from Control Panel :
1. Click on Vista (start) button
2. Click on control panel
3. Double click on Programs and Features
4. Click on YOUR Lexmark Printer and click on remove.
Download and reinstall the printer software using the below given link :
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:438:0:0&searchLang=en&os_group=Windows%20Vista&target=
NOTE: Clicking the link may give an error indicating it is invalid.
Copy and paste the entire link in a new browser window.
After the installation of drivers, restart the notebook into normal mode. Now plese check with printing any document. If the still persists then perform the below given steps :
Click on Vista (Start) button, and type Regedit.exe in search bar
Navigate to the following branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ Spooler
In the right-pane, double-click the DependOnService value
Delete the existing data, and then type RPCSS
Close Regedit.exe
Restart the computer.
This should resolve the issue.

HT4972 I cannot connect to wifi since upgrading to ios 5.1

Since upgrading to iOS 5.1.1 I cannot connect to wifi. I damaged my last phone so Apple replaced it with my current phone but since I've had it it won't connect. The 'choose a Network' message just has a whirly circle like it trying to connect. I've tried resetting my phone and resetting my router but it doesn't work. Can anyone help? I'm now getting a message saying I need to back up to iCloud but I can't do this without connecting to wifi.

Thanks but this has not helped. I've booked an appointment at the Apple store on Snday. Helpfully they will be able to fix it without charging me alive only had this phone since May this year.

T430 cannot connect to WiFi unless battery is removed then re-installed

Been having trouble with a co-worker's t430. It cannot connect to WiFi unless the battery is removed and then re-inserted. Once connected WiFi is strong and reliable. This seems to have started a few weeks ago without any notice. I'm thinking a power setting? I have also tried replacing the battery and same problem. Both batteries hold strong charges and are in "good" condition. Any suggestions?
Solved!
