Cannot print from pc/windows xp through time capsule

I currently have my hp printer connected to time capsule by usb, internet modem connected to time capsule by ethernet, my pc connected to time capsule by ethernet, and my mac wireless to time capsule.
I'm printing successfully wirelessly from my mac but I cannot get my pc to print. I've run bonjour and restarted pc and still nothing.
Any suggestions?

I'm running into a similar problem. I recently added a Time Capsule to a mixed-platform network. The TC is configured to extend my existing wireless network, and my HP LaserJet 2015d is connected to the TC by a USB cable. My MacBook Pro found the printer and works with it flawlessly. I downloaded Bonjour Services for Windows this morning, and though Bonjour easily finds and configures the HP LaserJet 2015 it finds on the TC I can't actually print anything. Test pages and everything else generate a less-than-helpful "failed to print" error message.
I'm running Snow Leopard (fully patched) on the Macbook Pro and Windows XP SP3 (fully patched) on my PC.
I found another thread that suggested replacing the name that Bonjour gives the printer with an IP address of 10.0.1.1 (reached using Printer -> Properties -> Ports -> Configure Port (for the TC/Airport printer). That still generates the same "Failed to print" error.
Thanks!

Cannot print to wireless HP 7280 with Time Capsule

I just put up Time Capsule. My windows and mac machines are able to hook into the wireless router portion with no problem. My main problem is that I cannot print to my HP7280 wireless printer. I had a belkin wireless router that I replaced with the TC. The belkin worked fine with the printer but TC does not. I am able to ping the printer and I have deleted and reinstalled the printer on the Mac with no problems. When I go to print it says that it is unable to connect to the printer and will retry in 30 seconds. I can see the items in the queue but they won't print.
One other point. I have a Canon Mp830 hooked in through USB to the TC and it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Setup a typical HP AirPrint Printer
1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer, and then wait a few seconds for the software installer to start.
2. Accept the installation agreements, and then click Next . It might take several minutes for your computer to install the printer software.

7. Setup will then send wireless settings to printer.
8. Once printer is setup, you will be ask to remove USB cable.
9. The printer is now ready for AirPrint.

Suddenly unable to print from Win XP PCs to Time Capsule printer

I have a Canon MP610 printer attached to my early 2009 (dual radio) Time Capsule that worked perfectly on my home LAN until a few weeks ago. Macbook Air and two Win XP PCs could print over the LAN. Suddenly LAN printing for the two Win PCs stopped working - but continues to work fine for the Macbook. The Win problem exists via wired and wifi connections. When I plug the printer directly into either PC's USB port, printing works perfectly. I have set up separate printer names for direct and LAN connections.
The printer is visible to Bonjour. I re-installed Bonjour on one PC and tested using the printer name that it set up, verified that Norton firewall has USB port 5353 open, even disabled the firewall completely. Any print job sent from the PCs simply fails - the printer never gives any indication that it's receiving data.
The only change to the Win systems since before I had this problem have been periodic auto-updates with Windows patches, and updated Safari.
The fact that multiple Windows systems but not the Mac are having problems made me suspect Bonjour, but it can see the printer. If anyone has a clue what might be wrong, let me know.

I was able to solve my printing problem using the instructions at the iFelix site http://tech.ifelix.net/1004.html. The problem was solved after I replaced the printer name with the IP address of my Time Capsule (10.0.1.1) for the existing port that the printer was connected to (instead of creating a new port, I selected the existing port that my printer was connected to and clicked Configure Port). After saving, the next time that I tried to print it worked.
Thanks to AppleConvert2009 who posted the iFelix URL containing the fix in the "Bonjour - printer found but can't print" topic in the Bonjour for Windows discussion.

Printing with an Epson 1400 through Time Capsule

I just got done setting up my new iMac and Time Capsule at my house and ran into a roadblock when trying to print. I have searched and searched these forums and all over the rest of the internet looking for an answer before I asked my question, but found nothing.
I am fairly computer savvy and followed the directions from Apple, Epson and the advice from other people having related problems all with to no avail.
What is going on is I can see the printer and supposedly send files to it to print, but it never actually prints anything. The Epson print monitor show that the job was sent successfully, but there is never a nice little print out in the tray when I go to retrieve my print. The printer doesn't even look like anything was tried to be sent to it. I am trying to do all of this through WiFi.
I have another computer that was on Panther and plugged in directly to the Time Capsule (not Wifi) that was printing fine. I could actually print from my iMac to the printer when the other printer was shared through the Panther computer, but I could never get the iMac with Leopard on it to print directly to the printer.
I tried updating the other computer to Leopard and as soon as I did, it couldn't print either.
I have no idea where to go now other than get a new printer or ask you guys for help, so I figured I come to you guys first.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
Jamie

After Installing Acrobat X Standard, Cannot print from another Windows Program

I am having a strange problem. Once I installed Acrobat X Standard, another Windows based program stopped printing. It now comes up with a usp10.dll error, but most of the time it just crashes the program. Tried reinstalling the program and no luck. The error points at a Helvetica Font being the culprit that was installed with Acrobat. I am not sure how to clear this up.
Thanks

I have not removed it. One of the things I did try was going into the Registry and to FontSubstitutions and change the Helv to Helv,186 or something like that.

Cannot print through Time Capsule to HP P1005

I cannot print to my HP P1005 through my Time Capsule. It has always been flaky connecting from my PCs on the network or my Mac. Now NOTHING can print to it. The Time Capsule shows the printer correctly. When I try to print to it from my Mac, the status just goes from "Printing" to "Stopped". I have tried various sequences of turning it on and rebooting the Time Capsule, but to no avail.

open your system preferences > print & fax
click on your printer, and click the - sign to remove it.
click on the + sign to add it again using bonjour

I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable??? My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.
You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.
iOS: AirPrint 101

USB printing through Time Capsule from Ipad or iphone

I connected my printer thru the USB of my Time Capsule, and I can print wirelessly from my iMac, but my iPhone and my iPad do not see the printer. It has to be air printing enable or is there other way to do it?
Thanks!!

I cannot print from firefox. I can print from open office. It seems to have something to do with when frames open because in IE, I can print a whole page, but when I try to use a print button embeded in a page or frame it does not work.

Cannot print from firefox at all.
In Internet Explorer, I was able to print by pushing the print button, but when opening a frame, like in mapquest, the embedded print button brings up an options window that has print frames options in it, but when hit OK in this box, a second error box comes up with a yellow exclamation point and nothing prints. I have a feeling that it is the same problem with both browsers, but would prefer using firefox. Can you help with this?

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

Cannot print from Firefox

For some time now I cannot print from Firefox. I thought it might be a glitch after an update, but have updated again since and it still does not work. If I try to print to a printer, nothing happens. If choose print and then save to PDF it seems to work, but then when I try to open the file I get an error message from Adobe saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.". On the other hand, I can print and save to PDF from Safari without any problem. I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 6.0.2.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
Please do a CLEAN install:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

I cannot print from Adobe on My Mac

I have tried all I know to do, but I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from my Mac running Mac OSX - 10.5.7. I have two different printers - a Cannon MF4150 & an HP Color Laserjet 2550. When I click print, the preview is not available and it just goes into queue and never prints. I am also running VMware Fusion -- I cannot get it to print from the Windows XP virutal machine either. I am using just the standard Adobe Reader 9 in the Windows side. I don't know what could possibly be wrong. The Windows XP side is printing through a sharing mode with the mac side. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

I've tried that multiple times as well as resetting the printers themselves. I've deleted and re-added the drivers as well. Any other suggestions?
