Cannot print using Bonjour 1.03

This iMac is connected to a HP LaserJet 1022 via USB. My wife uses a Dell desktop and now wants access to the Laserjet. So I have installed Bonjour on the Dell and it has identified the Laserjet connected to this iMac. But when attempting to print a document nothing happens
The strange thing is, if I view the list of completed jobs in system preferences/print & fax/print queue, the doc's that I have attempted to print from the Dell are listed as completed/finished.
The UDP port is open on the Dell and sharing for printer and windows is set up. Any ideas???

This may not be good news but, if you are using Windows Vista on the Dell laptop, then I can sympathise with you. For the past 6 weeks I have been trying to send a print file from a Toshiba Laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium via a MAC wireless network to an iMac running OS X 10.4.9 which has an HP 2410 connected to it by USB.
The Toshiba shows print jobs running & completed but there has been absolutely nothing happening on the iMac. Investigation of the Network shows Port activity from the Toshiba to the iMac so there are quite a few files floating in cyberspace.
(Another laptop running windows XP Pro can easily use the same network to get print jobs to the iMac which then prints them OK on the HP 2410. This can be done using Bonjour or not using Bonjour - details on the iFelix website.)
Delving deep into Vista Windows Registry seems to indicate a bewildering set of conflicting security permissions irrespective of what is set globally. The Toshiba is new & came pre-loaded with Vista. I just wish I'd bought an XP Pro machine; it had to be a Windows machine for school compatibility otherwise I'd never even give Windows a second glance.

Problems printing using Bonjour

Using either a Power Mac G5 or a PowerBook G4 (both running OS 10.4.9), the printing stalls out part way through the first or second page printing from the web or Word (haven't tried other apps). The printer is networked via Airport Extreme Base Station and is a Canon PIXMA i6000D. It had been working fine about a week and a half ago, but we started turning the printer off when not in use. Resetting the Base Station seemed to help at first, but no longer. The driver for the printer is current and so is the firmware for the Base Station. It is version 5.7. The Base Station is the previous model.

I am also having trouble with a new Windows 7, HP laptop. I only found Bonjour for XP and Vista. Is there a Bonjour for Windows 7, 64 bit, Home Edition? Additionally, I cannot find drivers for my older printer, an Apple LaserWriter Select 360. I'm wondering if anyone call tell me if there's a work around? I can get Windows to "see" the LaserWriter Select 360, but it wants the correct drivers.
I saw an article in Support on using Bonjour, but I don't understand what it means to activate SMS in the sharing options.
I'm trying to get the HP laptop, running Windows, on my home network of Apple computers.

HP Deskjet 3550 cannot print using Airport Extreme via USB connection on Windows 7 64 bits

Product Name and Number: HP Deskjet 3550 Inkjet Printer
Operating System installed: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Error message: None
Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: Setting up HP printer using Airport Utility to add a new printer and installed Bonjour Print Wizard.
Problem: My printer is already set up using Airport Utility. When I print something, the printer doesn't do anything. Is there something I haven't done lately in order to get this printer working using my wifi router?
Suggestion #1: Are the print jobs getting stuck in the print queue? You can check this by clicking on the printer icon in your task tray by the clock.
Error Message #1: Yes, the print job got stuck in the print queue, but the moment, it disappeared from the print queue and the printer doesn't print at all. This is frustrating.
Suggestion #2: Does the printer work as expected if you connect it directly to the PC via USB?
Error Message #2: Yes, the printer works if I connect it directly to my PC via USB, but I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the wifi router, though.
Suggestion #3: This has to do with the way the router handles the connection to the printer. I found another thread, regarding this issue, and it has some information that may help resolve it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Print-Problem-Using -USB-Printer-on-Airp...
If that does not help, I would recommend posting on the Apple forums, as they may have more expertise with the router's abilities:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
Error Message #3: After clicking on the first link that you posted, it was very helpful, but the printer couldn't print completely and somehow it would stop at the quarter of a paper. It looks incomplete when I took it out from my printer. It does that every time.

UPDATE!
Problem solved! So this is just a followup in case someone else ever stumbles into these boards with the same or similar problems as mine, that is, trying to run an HP Deskjet D1500 series printer [mine's a D1520] on an Airport Extreme wifi router's USB port as a network printer [with the Airport Extreme controlled by an ancient G4 PowerMac Quicksilver currently running OS X 10.4.11).
Although it probably SHOULDN'T matter, since this type of printer works fine with just the Tricolor cartridge as shipped when hooked up directly to a computer's USB port, on a hunch I got a black HP cartridge (that's a type 21, not type 22 as I had earlier said), slapped it in, tried a test page, and all's well. So, we can call off the technoid hounds. Everything running perfectly.
I hope this message in a bottle may help someone else out there some day soon who may be scratching his or her head with a similar stumper. And just to recap those important Windows printer settings, they are:
* [Printer Properties--> Ports--> Add New Port...] "Standard TCP/IP Port"
* [Configure Port] IP Address "10.0.1.1" and Port "9100"
Best of luck!

Anything printed using Bonjour from Windows to Mac is very light in color

I dont get this at all. And it only started happening very recently. When using my printer connected to my Mac, and printing from my Windows Vista laptop (using Bonjour of course), all of the colors are very light. Black text is light grey, and all of the other colors are very washed out. I have no idea whats going on here. My printer is a Canon MP160.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

I have the same problem after I updated to 10.5.5 yesterday. My Canon MP 780 works perfectly printing from my mac and all the networked macs in the house. When I connect the printer to Vista (on my mac) running in Parallels directly (by checking my printer in "Devices- USB"), it works perfectly; but when I try to print networked from Vista via Bonjour, it uses blue ink for text. Prior to the update it printed perfectly without having to connect it to Parallels.

I can't print using Bonjour on Windows Vista

Hi. I've connected an HP printer to my Airport Extreme. My great MacBook can print using the printer, but my other computer, running Windows Vista (**** IT!) can't do that. When i install bonjour, it recognizes the printer but can't print. Why? Oh, and after i have installed Bonjour, all the other programs run with problems... so i have to cancel Bonjour... why? Thank you

deleted Vista and installed XP
:P

I cannot print using to HP 1025n using Mavericks

I have recently upgraded my Mountain Lion to Mavericks and it works smoothly. I can see all my printers there including HP 1025.
However, when I tried to print either using wifi or direct, it only said printer paused in printer dialog box. No matter how many I resume, it will always stopped.
I have read so many forums and had run ASU and no more update available, yet, my printer still can not print.
I am using single wifi connection and I can re-add printer but once successfull, still it cannot print anything.
Any clue?
Thank you..

First attempt to empty the print queue. IF that doesn't work download the HP drivers from:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
And if that doesn't work, see my page* for open source drivers. I would also report to
Apple - Support - Feedback
that
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 needs to be updated to say your printer doesn't work in Mavericks if the update from DL907 doesn't work,
as it suggests that it should if you keep up with the Apple downloads for the drivers.
Printer related issues are not model specific, but driver by operating system specific. In the future always post on the operating system board if you have issues with printing, not the MacBook board.

Cannot print using HP Officejet 7000

Have just purchased an HP Officejet 7000 and find I cannot print from Firefox. Works OK with Internet Explorer and all other programmes.

Thank you for your help. When I try the "reset firefox printer setting" and type "print" in the search field, I get the settings for the two previous computers and the current one. If I type "print-printer", I get a blank page. Also the menu button disappears. If I click on the setting, "delete" is not one of the options. If I try to"reset all firefox printer setting" and click on "show folder" under application basics, a list of files and folders opens. the prefs.js file is only 23KB (JScript Script File) long and cannot be opened, so I cannot remove any lines that start with "print".

Cannot print using wireless

I am sure this is a simple fix but I am unable to print using the wireless. Lap top uses system for internet but when trying to print I get "Printer is currently off-line". I have an imac hardwired into the wireless and the printer is plugged into that. Can you help?

Yes you made it very clear. At least for me. On the iMac go into System Preferences/Sharing - make sure Printer Sharing is checked and on.
Turn printer off and disconnect the printer from the usb slot. Wait a minute a two and then reconnect printer to the usb slot & turn printer on.
Repair permissions and restart your computer. You should now be able to print wireless with your Macbook Pro.

We cannot print useing the Firefox browser. How can weorrect this problem ?

We have two browsers,Firefox and Internet Ecxplorer.

When we try to print using Firefox we get a window that staes "An error occurred while printing"
Any help would be appreciated .

Can see but not browse to Airport disk, also cannot print in Bonjour

I suspect this may be related to a firewall issue or perhaps the way my corporate PC is set up (logged into Domain with VPN to Internet. What else might cause:

nability to print, Bonjour or otherwise tothe USB attached printer in Airport. Macs work just fine

Can you access scan function of a multifunction printer using Bonjour/expre

I'm using a Canon Pixma 830. It prints fine through airport express. I've hooked up the printer to the airport express using a usb cable.
The question is. Can I use the other functions of the scanner using the bonjour/Express set up? I doesn't seem to work. I'm using a macbook so not hooking up the usb directly to the computer would be helpful. Thanks.

Theoretically almost anything is possible...
(a) The first thing you have to have is the proper hardware support. Only Apple knows if the AEBS's USB port has capabilities to access a scanner. If the hardware doesn't support it, end of story.
(b) (1) You would need to create AEBS firmware that tapped into the AEBS hardware for scanning. (2) This firmware would need to provide a network interface for clients to use to access the scanning capability. (3) The Mac applications would need to be modified to know how to get a scan over a network connection instead of a local scanner.
I have a suspicion that a USB printer interface has been standardized to some degree while the USB scanner interface has very little standardization.

Cannot print using RDP, with a custom page size ,on HP Laserjet M1217nfw MFP

Dear Team,
i have on the server win 2008 R2 standard , i have installed the drivers of HP Laserjet M1217nfw MFP printer ,
on the client i have win pro 7 SP1.
i need to print through RDP the documents generated in my application which i access remotely using RDP.
i know the printer drivers are installed on client and server both.
the issue is of creation of custom pages to print the document in proper format so that it prints in the client PC with proper formatting.
we are currently successfully printing on HP Laserjet P3015 printer but at a different location. and i have 5 branches still to be able to print this document from the application,
I need you advise and assistance as to how do i go about achieving my objective with this printer,
Thanking you in advance
regards
Vibes

Hello JBC666,
I understand that you are having an issue with printing wireless from your M1217nfw. I can understand how frustrating this can be. I would like to confirm a couple of things with you to get better understanding of your setup.
1) How far away from the printer is the router?
2) Has there been an recent changes that could have caused the issue?
As well printing a network test report, is an excellent option to find out if there is any issues with the connection at all. I have included the following steps to print the test.
1) Press the wrench button
2) Press the right arrow until you see Network Config
3) Press Ok
4) Press the right arrow until you see Network Test
5) Press Ok
1) Does anything fail on this test?
2) What is the signal quality?
3) Are you able to view the printers embedded web server?
   Steps to accessing the embedded web server
   1) Open up your internet browser
   2) Type the IP address (from the test report) into the address bar
   3) Press Enter
Thank you.

Cannot print using ShellExecute("printto) by Reader X (10.1.2)

Hello,
My application performs printing PDF documents using Adobe Reader by calling ShellExecuteEx(..., verb:="printto", ...).
It succeeds printing if Reader 8.3, 9.5 is installed. When Reader Reader 10.x is installed call to ShellExecuteEx succeeds also, however:
If Protected Mode is enabled, AcroRd32.exe is launched properly (broker & sandbox), but no print job is submitted in to printer's queue;
If Protected Mode is disabled, document is printed as properly.
Important note: OS is W7-32, ShellExecute is launched in session 0, account is not LocalSystem.
AdobeReaderPatch10.1.2_cpsid_92870.exe doesn't help.
Is it possible to print files using ShellExecute(Ex) when Protected Mode is enabled?
Thanks in advance.
Alexey

Sorry to Alg1976, my answer is non-sensical. I attempted to use the above tool to put back the "printto" verb information in the registry. No dice.
One thing I can say, I am experiencing the same phenomenon in Windows XP and Reader X (10.1.3).
I use ShellExecuteEx with the "printto" verb and I get no errors either, but no document shows up in the selected printer's queue. It was working fine in 9, but not in 10, and I haven't seen any way to fix it. However it was suggested I write my own DDE conversation so that I could make use of the changed Application Server Name (from "acroview" to "acroviewR10").
If you solve this problem, can you post here what you did?
I keep wondering if somehow my Reader 10 installation was faulty. I will explore that possiblity.

I cannot print using clipmarks.

I have used Clipmarks for some time. Now when I go through the steps to use clipmarks it stops working after I choose print, email, or blog. It just closes.

Clipmarks isn't part of Firefox and this forum doesn't provide support for Clipmarks. <br />
