Cannot print to network printer via router

I have attached my EPSON CX3200 printer to the USB port on my US Robotics router but i cannot print to it from my Mac.
When i try to print on it by wireless from a windows laptop, it works without problems.
I think i tried all settings in printerconfiguration, without succes.
I already found out that i had to select the GIMP driver for IP printing but that didn't help.
What should by the host name (xxx.local) for this printer when it is attached to the router? In my list, the printer attached to the router has the same host name as the local USB printer that is connected to the Mac which seems strange to me.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

thx, i came a step closer now:
i had to choose Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP and enter the device URL (http://...)
When i now try to print i get the message: "printer in use; new try within 10 seconds" but it cannot start printing. Any clue?

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning. You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.

Trouble Printing to Network Printer via Remote Desktop Connection

Specs:
Macbook Pro, early 2013,
Mavericks (10.9.2),
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection v.8.0.5 (latest),
Connecting to Windows Server 2008 standard
Printer, HP LaserJet P2035n, connected via the network
When on the Mac connected to the server, the printers from the Mac are redirected so you're supposed to be able to print from Remote Desktop to the HP printer. However, when you select something to print, the job goes to the print and keeps printing over and over and over again until you cancel the print job, which it usually allows you to do, or turn off the printer, which you have to do when it won't let you cancel the job.
Any advice on how to get the printer connection running normally?

What you haven't told us is what method you use to connect/setup the printer on Windows. There are two ways - Bonjour for Windows (free software from Apple), and TCP/IP raw port 9100. If you have a problem using one, try the other.

I cannot access my network printer under AEBS(Airport Extreme Base Station)

The current network configuration of me is
1. AEBS have static IP address. (e.g., 154.123.12.54)
2. Network printer in my office have static IP address. (e.g., 154.123.12.55)
3. My iMac is connected to AEBS. And have virtual IP address. (e.g., 10.0.1.201)
The problem is that when I trying to add my network printer on my iMac,
it works. I can find my network printer in the list.
But when I trying to print with that printer, I think any packet is not sent to network printer.
I think AEBS block them.
How can I use my network printer under AEBS?
I didn't have any problem with my Belkin wireless router.

When you can, take a look at the old AirPort Express and locate the model number in the faint print on the side of the device.
If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older Express version that is no longer supported by the current version of AirPort Utility that you are using with the new AirPort Extreme.
If that is the case, your Express is at least 6 years old...probably older...so it is about time to treat yourself to a new version with much faster speeds and more features.

Cannot connect to network printer: Canon MX330 series

Hello,
Not sure if this issue has been posted before, if so then please forgive me. I recently purchased my first Mac, a Macbook pro running on Mac OS X 10.6.6.
I have a network printer, a Canon MX330, at home that is connected to the family desktop computer, a PC on Windows XP.
When I connect my printer to the USB on my Macbook, it works instantly and I can print a test page. I can also go on my Desktop PC and print on that printer through the network.
The problem arises when I connect my printer to my desktop PC. The Macbook is unable to connect to the printer. However, I can browse my Desktop's shared folders from my Macbook. The printer also works locally on the Desktop as well as from the other PC's that are on the network, but not on the Macbook.
If anyone can please help, that would be really appreciated. Right now I have no choice but to copy my files to the public shared folder, then go upstairs to the Desktop, open them, and print.
Thanks!
Phil

Hi Phil,
What they have described is the correct procedure for adding a Windows shared printer to the Mac. Given that you can connect to the shared folder on the PC then this process should work but can take some time.
The first thing to ensure is that the printer on the XP PC is shared. In Printers & Faxes on XP, right-click the printer icon and select Sharing. Select 'Share this printer' and set the Share Name to a single name (spaces can impact things). OK this to close the driver properties window.
With regards to the three columns that appear, the first column is for the workgroup name. If you are using XP Professional then the name will be Workgroup. The Home version will show MSHome. This workgroup name can take a while to appear (the Mac needs to determine who is the master browser on the network) but you can help the Mac by opening System Preferences > Network and for the connection type you are using (Airport or Ethernet) select it and then select the Advanced button. With this new view you will see the WINS tab. Select this and you will see the Mac's workgroup name and the workgroup it belongs to, which will most likely be blank. Click the drop menu and the workgroup name will show. Select this name and OK the change.
Now try adding the printer again, selecting the Windows icon. The workgroup name of XP PC should show in the first column. If it does, select it and then second column will show the XP computer name. Select this and you should get prompted to enter the admin user details for XP. After entering the correct information the shared printer name will appear. Select this and then you can progress to selecting the PrintFab MX330 driver.

Cannot print to network printer

Can anyone else print to network printers on build 9879?
I can detect and install my network printers just fine. At the end of the install I checked the box to print a test page. The page disappeared from the print queue, but never printed. I try to send another text page and I get an error
"Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance?"
Of course the troubleshooter doesn't find anything. There are no errors in the Windows event logs. I have tried two different printers both of which work fine from any other computers on the same network. They are both HP printers. One is an HP OfficeJet
Pro 8610 and the other is an HP Color Laserjet M451dn. Both have drivers included in Windows 10.

Hi DS62,
Please download the latest driver file from official website:
HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&product=5367608
Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
Or you can add driver manually:
Alex Zhao
TechNet Community Support
Just my 2cents worth.
With that link from Alex you still need to choose the Windows version.
I guess the newest one is Windows 8.1 and the correct architecture ie 32 bit or 64 bit.
Regards,
Richard
What did you break today ? on second thoughts don't tell me, let me guess.

Printing to network printer from OS 9.2 to OS 10.4

I have an HP Deskjet 810c connected to my Mac running OS 10.4 and want to print from my other Mac running OS 9.2. Both Macs have drivers installed.
The computers are networked via a Linksys cabled router.
I tried doing what Apples suggests in their 10.4 help area (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh660.html) but it still doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Ted

The link you gave is for printing from Classic programs on the same Mac. To print from another Mac running OS 9.2:
1) On the server (with printer attached) enable print sharing both in Sharing prefs and in Print & Fax prefs.
2) again on OS X (server), in Printer Setup highlight the Deskjet and click Show Info and find and write down the queue name. Also find the server IP address in Network Prefs and write it down.
3) On the OS 9 computer, find Apple Printer Utility (usually in Apple Extras) and start it. Create an LPR/LPD printer and enter the IP address and queue name where asked for.
4) Important - For printer model, choose an Apple Color LaserWriter xx as the PPD/model. This entire setup assumes a postscript printer. The good news is that OS X expects to receive postscript input and it translates that for the Deskjet.
PS, it is possible that the HP driver you installed on OS9 could work, in which case you don't need to follow the above postscript procedure. Instead, in Chooser on OS 9, select the appletalk driver for your deskjet and if the printer attached to the server shows up, select it (right side of Chooser) and it may then work. I haven't got an older deskjet to try, so I don't know if it'll work.

Printing to network printer

I have an HP printer connected to a Wireless Router via an ethernet cable / not directly to my desktop PC.
When printing from my laptop (windows XP), the desktop (Windows 7) must be on / not asleep.
Since the printer is connected to the network router / not the desktop, it seems that the desktop should not need to be on.
How can I fix this?

Hello there! Welcome to the HP forums @nhseller ,
I would suggest posting this concern in the Lexmark Printer Forums for your best support with troubleshooting your Lexmark printer.

Can't print to network printer

I can’t print to my network printer. Network Magic shows that the printer is ‘online’, however, when I try to print from Windows, the ‘Print’ dialog box shows the status as ‘Error - Offline’. The printer’s display window shows the printer as ‘Ready’.
Occasionally, Network Magic displays the error; The Platform Service is Not Running. Restarting the Platform Service does not resolve the printer showing as ‘Error - Offline’ in the Windows Print dialog box.
This problem has been ongoing for about a week.

Hi aquaman53,
The problem is that the Router has changed the IP Address of the Lexmark Network Printer. You need to use Static IP Addresses so the IP Address does not change.
I don't know if the DI-524 Router allows one to assign Devices / Computers to Static IP Addresses. I know that you can with the DIR-655 Router.

Riddle: Printing from iMAC to printer on networked print server

Here is a Doozy:
I am having trouble printing from my new Intel iMac over a wireless network, through an attached print server.
Here is the layout & issue:
Configuration:
I have a Windows XP PC & iMac in my office.
I have a wireless network connecting the 2.
On this network & have attached the SimpleShare 250GB network HDD, with print server
I have a Canon Pixma 800 attached via USB to the SimpleShare print server.
Issue:
The iMAC cannot print out of the printer.
The iMAC searches, finds & installs the printer (name: MP800, puts it in WORKGROUP, with queue of MP800)
It sends the job & says the job is done (looking good!).
I hear the HDD fire up (a couple clicks). But nothing prints out & the printer does not recognize a job was sent to it. (ARGHH!)
I have:
upgraded to the latest firmware on SimpleShare.
The windows PC prints fine to the printer, through this same configuration.
The iMAC prints fine to the printer when connected directly.
The iMAC reads/writes fine to the HDD itself through the network.
The internet connection works fine through this configuration.
The ONLY issue is getting a print job from the iMAC to the printer.
ANY & ALL help is appreciated, its driving me crazy...

I suspect it may be a driver issue.
It may work with the PrintFab Drivers (but these cost).

Acrobat XI: Printing to networked printer fails without error message

I'm using Windows 8 Professional.
When I use Acrobat XI Professional or Reader XI to print to a networked printer, Acrobat and Reader throw up the Progress dialog, showing the document is getting spooled. However, nothing appears in my printer's status window and nothing gets printed. There are no error messages.
When I use Windows 8 Pro's Reader app to print to the networked printer, it works just fine.
I thus have a workaround, so not all is lost.
However, how do I diagnose why only the Adobe applications on my computer can't use the networked printer?
-- Tim
Timothy J. McGowan

Thanks for the advice.
The problem is not solved. This is what i have tried.
Attempt 1.
Log-in as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
"Repair" Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installation.
Same failure as described earlier.
Attempt 2.
Log-in as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
Uninstall Acro XI Pro.
Run : acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_040612.zip
Log of "cleaner" shows deletion of very many, but ot all, Registry Acro-associated keys.
At end of uninstall and cleaner processes, re-start machine.
Log-in again as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
Disable Norton 360 and Webroot Secure Anywhere prior to Acro XI Pro installation.
Re-install Acro XI Pro (this time, for "Default" choice, as opposed to "Complete" in previous installs.)
Outcome: NO Adobe PDF printer. HOWEVER, both during the "Repair" and re-install processes, a message did flash: "Creating the Adobe PDF Printer".
Both Repair and re-install: The Adobe PDF printer is not listed under "Manufacturer" when "Add Printer" is executed (see image below).
Proceeding via "Have Disk", C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf, yields the failure to install the driver previously described, for all ten (10) instance of the Adobe PDF Converter options.
Thanks for any insights.

Problem printing to networked printer

I have a strange printing problem:
13" unibody MacBook running OS X 10.6.3
Dell dimension desktop PC running Win XP Home Edition (SP3)
Wireless LAN connecting the two computers above via Time Capsule wireless base station.
Canon Pixma MP540 printer connected to PC via USB.
Printer set up on PC as shared and visible to MacBook over wireless LAN.
Printing from PC to printer OK.
Printing from MacBook to printer places job in print queue on PC but status never changes from 'spooling' and print job never completes.
If I connect the printer directly to the MacBook via USB it prints with no problems. I can also then see the printer as a network printer from the PC and successfully print to it from there.
Can anyone suggest why the job never completes when the printer is attached to the PC?
Thanks, Ian

I'm having the exact same problem! It's so annoying

Evince print to network printer

I'm having a hard time with this and nothing's coming up. I have a printer I'm successfully connected to via CUPS, I can print fine in OpenOffice.
However, evince won't print. The "print" button is grayed out. I -need- to print PDFs and right now literally the only way is to borrow a windows machine and knock 'er out.
Help!

Unless you have a really abnormal printer/network configuration:
sudo mv /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.bak
sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
sudo /etc/rc.d/cups restart
I had the same problem today....there's a slightly different cupsd.conf format, I guess.
Good luck!
Scott
Edit:
You might also change the AuthType line under # All printer operations require a printer operator to authenticate...
to
AuthType none
so it doesn't ask you for a password or fail silently if the program isn't designed to prompt you for a password.

Error When Printing on Network Printer

I am trying to connect to a windows network printer through my MacBook Air. I can connect to the printer via the windows network and can send documents to print.
The document goes through to print but at the last second it says there is an error.
When looking on the network windows computer, in which the printer is installed, I can see the document has gone through to print using the printer dialogue box for microsoft, but it details there is an error and the document doesn't print.
It seems that they are connected but there is still an error.
Both Windows and Mac computers are up to date currently and the printer is a HP Deskjet F4180.
Appreciate any help.

The problem is that HP wrote their driver(s) to only use the comm protocol they wanted to support. In your case, bonjour via USB (&/or Wifi?).
You need a different driver - that can use all the standard comm protocols available in OS X, like Windows printing.
(remember that I don't have your printer to test this)
Try the 3-part driver set hpijs from here (it says for 10.8, but others say it works with 10.9):

Require Password for Printing to Networked Printer?

Hi All,
I have a HP Color LaserJet 3600n on my network of 4 Airport Extreme Gigabit Routers. It is both connected by USB to the router AND CAT6 Ethernet to the router for a direct network connection. I have 5 computers on the network and i would like to password protect the printing to this printer. We also have an HP LaserJet 4100 connected by USB only. That is the regular printer that everyone should print to but if they need color they need to request permission. Is there a way to be asked for a password every time they want to print to the color? It doesn't matter if it is printing through network IP or Bonjour USB.
Thanks
- Harris

It may be possible. On your computer's browser enter the following URL: http://localhost:631/. This should open the CUPS administration page. There is a set of tabs near the top of the page. Click on the tab labeled Administration. You should now see a list of options you can check. You should see one labeled "Use Kerberos authentication (FAQ). Click on the FAQ link which will open a help page on configuring and using Kerberos authentication with CUPS. From here you are on your own because I know nothing about this nor if it will provide the type of password control for which you are looking.
