Cannot ping or print from MacBook...

I'm having a really strange issue where I cannot print from my MacBook wired or wireless, I can, however, ping and print from my iMac. They are both connected to the same router/wap. I cannot ping anything from the MacBook when it is wired or wireless! All other network functions work normally though, I can access the internet and screen share over my local network... but I cannot ping to or from the MacBook.. weird eh? Can someone please shed some light on this? Thanks!

Have you tried to log in as a different user then trying from there. If you do not have a different user just create one...
Go to Sys Pref/accounts then click on the lock at the bottom left corner put in the admin password then the plus button at the bottom left of accounts window will become active, press it to create a new account.
If the ping and print work from that account then you'll know the problem is not OSX globally, at it may be fix by trashing some .plist? Not sure which ones yet.

Cannot print from Macbook Air to Lexmark x2650 on Windows XP via wireless network (Linksys e1550)

Unable to print from recently purchased Macbook Air via wireless router (Linksys e1550) that is connected Windows XP which is connected to Lexmark x2650 printer. Macbook Air is connected to wireless router and able to access internet. Windows XP printer is set-up for sharing and I am able to see and add printer from Macbook Air. I have installed Lexmark 2600 series driver on Macbook Air. Macbook Air sends print job to print queue and print job is released from queue but does not print on Lexmark printer connected to XP. Any suggestions?

Hi Wade, and Welcome to the dicussions.
I think it's how the PC is setup and interpreting the Mac's drivers, should just pass them on I think, but here's a way to get most any Mac to print to most any printer on an XP machine...

I had Cs2 and Office for Mac 2004 installed on an OS 10.6.3 system. Worked fine. This weekend my computer did an auto update to OS 10.6.8 and now I cannot save or print from any office or CS2 Apps. What happened. Office also freezes and I have to force quit. Any advise. System or Software problem?

Bad timing. Reapply the security update:

What happened is that version 1.0 of the security update was available for a bit of time this weekend, and that disabled Rosetta. Version 1.1 brought it back.

Why printing from MacBook is too slow?

Hello friends,
Does anyone know how to improve the printing from Macbook faster? I have had very bad experience until today about the printing on Macbook using PDF file, it takes more 30 min to print only a 23 K file. Please anyone suggests me to get rid this stupid thing. It annoys us so much. Thank you.

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL when printing from MacBook to shared Windows Printer

Hello Mac gurus,
I'm researching the issue I'm having when trying to print from MacBook Pro (connected to a home network via Ethernet cable) to an HPLaserJet 6MP/PS printer, which is connected to a Windows XP SP2 computer via LPT1 port. This printer is shared and successfully used by another Win PC connected via NegGear router.
I've followed the instructions to install the printer on my Mac here and here . I don't seem to have problems installing the printer. My Mac can see the printer, successfully installs it, tells me it is idle, but when I print it generates this error:
Connection fail with error NTSTATUSUNSUCCESSFUL and then after a few seconds: Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 sec. The printer never received any signals.
I've seen some replies here about workarounds, installing Ghost and other software. Since I have a PostScript printer, is it relevant in my case? I also read that Mac will print only to USB connected printers, is that true and that is where my problem is?
Please help.

Thanks for replying.
1. I shortened the share printer name in my Windows (following the instructions I mentioned above, before I posted my message), there are no special characters or spaces.
2. Mac and PCs are on the same network.
3. Printer Share is allowed on the Windows PC (not blocked). Since other PC can print to that printer, than I guess Print Share is functioning.
4. I found the directory Access on the Mac, but don't know what to do there :confused: I see that smb is used as a Network protocol. The rest I have no clue.

Xerox 8560DN pauses when printing from MacBook Pro (Maverick update)

Xerox 8560DN pauses when printing from MacBook Pro using the printer connected to a Windows XP machine. The printer is fully shared, however when I print, it goes to PAUSE. It displays...Ready to print > Printing > and it pauses.
The Maverick update has changed lots of unecessary setups. What was perfectly working before, not it causes problems.
Any solution?

Carolyn Samit,
I did it several times without any success. I think that the Maverick update damaged something.
I also deleted, added and change all settings... Not working. Xerox does not have a Maverick driver available, but today apple released a Xerox printer software update (Version 2.3). After the installation, nothing changed.

I cannot ping any VIP from within the ACE or from rservers

I cannot ping any VIP from within the ACE or from rservers. Is this expected? I have rservers in other serverfarms that need to be able to communicate with the VIP of other serverfarms. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for you reply. here is the config. I removed other rserver and serverfarm config that does not have to do with this issue.

HP900 Inkjet - Cannot print from Macbook air 2014

Hi
I have a HP900 inkjet printer connected via a Windows PC on my network.
I can see and connect to that printer from my MacBook via the network (by connecting to the PC).
But unable to select the correct drivers. Hence unable to print.
Connected the printer directly to my MacBook air using an USB cable.
Didn’t recognise.
My preference is to use it though the network via the windows PC.
Much appreciated if you could help me to get this issue resolved.
Thank you.

Hi ielk,
Thank you for your reply!
After some further research I found that this printer is not compatible with Mac. That is why you cannot find any drivers.
According to this drivers page, HP 900 Inkjet Printer Drivers, this printer is only supported on, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista (32-Bit and 64-bit).
If you are looking for a compatible printer, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
Hope this information helps you, and have a great day!

Cannot print from macbook pro to printer connected to vista pc

My window PC broke and I changed it. My new PC runs window vista 64 bit. My new printer, connected to my new PC, is a HP Deskjet F4480. I have 4 PCs in the house. All PCs can print on my HP printer thru my home network EXCEPT MY MACKBOOK PRO that, for unknown reasons, cannot see the printer. My macbook pro runs mac os X version 10.6.1 (the new mac leopar). I call apple support. They are telling me that they cannot support me because they dont know anything about windows. Can someone help me?

Printing from Macbook Pro to HP Photosmart Plus B210a

Hi,
I am experiencing difficulty in printing documents from Macbook Pro to HP Photosmart Plus B210a. This has only been a problem for the last 2 weeks.
I think this may be due the most recent update of OS X Mavericks 10.9.3.
I have tried to update printer drivers from HP web, and it indicates that the printer in connected to my network router, and I have been able to run a testprint to the printer.
However when I try to print any documents the print queue seems to be trying to print, but never actually generates an output document.
I am looking for any advice/guidance on how to solve this printing problem.

Hi Eric,
i note that 10.9.4 is Mavericks.I cannot link directly as it is a wireless printer.
I have tried using the Terminal app, and typed the command as you indicated and i got the response attached.

I found that had to break this process. i don't know what this tells you with regard to the status of the printer connection.
Please let me know what I should do next?

Problems printing from MacBook Pro, bug?

For the past week I haven't been able to print from my computer. First I get an error message in the actual printer dialog box... says that there's a 'filter error' and that I need to update the printer software. Tried that, and search for latest OSX update but I've got that too (running 10.9.1). My printer is an HP P1102, thought maybe it's on its last legs or something, but test sheets come out fine. Then I also noticed something strange, which seems like a bug: I can no longer save documents as pdfs properly, 1-2 page documents come up as a blank pages, longer documents are missing the first few pages and also some pages at the end, but the rest of the document is normal. These documents are being saved as pset files (I save it as x.pdf and it becomes x.pdf.pset). As the two issues came up at the same time and are linked to the print dialogue box, they're problably related? Is this a bug, or some setting I need to change on the computer?
