Cannot print with a windows 7 connected printer

Mac Book Pro 13'' Mac OS 10.6.4, windows 7 hosting a Deskjet F370 (F300 series) and there is NO WAY i can print from the mac to the windws connected printer.
1- Printing sharing enabled,
2- LPD & LPR protocols enabled,
3- homegroup disabled,
4- file sharing works via SMB like a charm,
5- password protected sharing disabled.
I think i'm not forgetting anything. When I try to add the printer in my mac -
Sys pref > Print&fax > add > advanced > method 1: LPD/LPR > lpd://IP/ShareName
method 2: Windows > smb:// > I always select the driver F300 from the list (no gutenprint available). Finally the printer is added to the list after a long wait, but it doesn't work in any way. Please......help, thanks!

Hi
I install the three packages in the website you provided and tried again with the new driver, i still cannot print.
Somehow i found two print jobs in the Window's queue, couldn't print them, i thought they belonged to the new driver session, but since i coulnd't get to add new jobs in the queue again i don't know anymore, In the mac i've tried it as a registered user and guest, no difference, it asks for password, i provided it and it keeps waiting for authentication (On hold, authentication required), i even removed the password from my administrator account in windows and nothing.
if i go to job info in the mac it tells me among other things:
Status: On Hold (Authentication required)
Job message: Session setup failed: NTSTATUS_INVALIDPARAMETER
Don't know what to do.

  • How can I share a laser printer with a windows laptop.

    How can I share a laser printer with a windows laptop. I can't install software or drivers on the laptop for a USB switch box, but the printer drivers are already installed.
    It is a work laptop and printer. There is no WiFi to the laptop, just USB.
    Is there a USB switch box that does not need any drivers?
    Thanks
    Julie

    Hi
    Thanks.
    I am not able to install any drivers or software on the work laptop and WiFi is not allowed either.
    Currently I am swapping cables, but it means crawling under the desk and is a bit of a pain.
    I was hoping that there would be a switch box that does not require drivers.
    Crawling and banging my head it is, then!

  • Printing to a Windows Network printer after 10.4.9 upgrade

    Very desperate with this. We have a couple macs at the office and after a move and some software updates all cannot print via a Windows network printer.
    Unable to connect to SAMBA host is the only error we receive.
    I checked my smb:\\ syntax, I have tried IP address, tried picking from the list (which by the way the printers do show up yet you cannot print to them)
    Extremely frustrating and with an Anti-Mac IT director this gives him more ammo to say Macs are irrelavant in the workplace.
    The Macs are bound to Windows Active Directory and the users are Active Directory users. We do not have a Mac OS X server. Our printer server is Windows 2003 SP1, the printers range from an HP LaserJet 4100 to a Xerox WorkCentre 24, all do not work.
    The ONLY network printer that appears to work is the printer associated during the login
    Curious if anyone with 10.4.7 and higher have problems....

    More info...here is the cups/error log when trying to print from a newly added Windows network printer...looking for some help on this....

  • Printing to a windows shared printer (Epson  Photo 1400) on a AD Network

    Looking for help with printing to a windows shared printer but I believe I need instructions for a domain rather than a workgroups??? Trying to print to a windows shared Epson Stylus Photo 1400 from a Mac running OS 10.4.11. Sharing works fine to other PC's an a network using active directory. (there is no workgroup, and I guess there can't be in the way the network is administered) The "address" used on another pc to print to the shared printer is \\111408nw.

    Hi dlori, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I think these may help...

  • I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to allow wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

    I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to enable wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

    I’ve used several wireless printers with a 4510 and 5510 Jetpack and they all print just fine. The MHS890L does not support WPS. The WPS Wikipedia article briefly addresses the reason why you should not use WPS.  If you’re having trouble setting up your printer the manufacturer has a toll free support line to help you. Your Jetpack has the Wi-Fi Password on the bottom, under the battery, and or in the LED display.

  • How can I print with a Windows computer through the AirPort?

    Basically, I'm a college student in a dorm room with a wireless HP printer. I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch with Snow Leopard and my roommate has an Asus Eee PC with Windows XP. I use an Apple AirPort Express router and print through it with my computer wirelessly. Is there any way my roommate can print wirelessly from his computer? So far, I haven't figured out how to set it up and he just uses my computer whenever he needs to print something.

    Since the printer has its own wireless built-in, as opposed to it connecting via USB to the Airport Express, then there shouldn't be an issue for the Asus to connect to the printer, providing it can connect to the Express also via wireless.
    Unless someone here knows otherwise, I suggest you check the HP web site in case there is an additional utility required for XP to add a network wireless printer.
    Usually, a network printer is added by selecting Local Printer, rather than Network as this is looking for server shared printers, and then you create a New Port and select Standard TCP/IP for the port type.

  • Can't print with airport usb connection only

    i have spent the last 3 days searching for help to fix my problem - PLEASE HELP!!!
    using:
    imac osx 10.6.8
    canon image class mf8350cdn
    airport extreme base station
    I cannot seem to print wirelessly with my imac using just the USB connection on the airport router.  I can print with the printer locally when it's "hardwired" directly to a usb on the back of the imac.  I can print if i connect a cat5 network cable from the printer to the airport. i can print wirelessly with a PC when the printer is connected with a usb to the airport.  i just can't do this with my imac via the usb connection on the router.  my error message is a Canon CMFP Printer Driver telling me printer is not responding - check the power.....try sending again.
    I believe i have tried everything!!!  While i am newer to mac and not the greatest at networking, i have manipulated every setting to match up with all of the online help i can get (trying to not have to send this question!!) and no luck.
    i have deleted printers and jobs, reinstalled everything, i changed the cable, downloaded the latest drivers from canon and apple, i updated the firmware on the printer. i even reinstalled my osx and confirmed all is updated on my imac.
    i don't want to scan or fax this way - so that is not my issue -- it's just plain old printing using that usb port.
    i need all of my other ports on the airport for other things, so i cannot sacrific this one for printing - i just want to use the usb as my printer connection to print with all of the machines i have.
    hope my question makes sense and that someone will take the time to give a reply.
    thanks!!
    p.s. the closest discussion that matches my issue seems to be this one:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12367897#12367897
    but, i still can't seem to get there..........

    The most comprehensive set of troubleshooting instructions for printing problems involving Airport printers is found at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107418
    It is possible your printer simply cannot be made to work in this manner, and is more often than not a problem with multifunction printers.

  • Windows can't print to Airport Express connected printer

    installed new Airport Express replacing an old Linksys wireless router. Have a mix of Windoze and Mac clients that need to connect to shared (USB Connected) printer, supported off the AE router.
    All Mac clients are able to see, connect to, and print to the USB attached MFC 440CN Brother printer.
    The Windows devices cannot connect to, see, or utilize the same printer.
    Any thoughts on what setting I might have Ito change in order to correct this problem?

  • Problems printing via AppleTalk with a Windows 2003 print server

    My company is migrating from Windows 2000 Server over to Windows 2003, which is going to be the new acting print queue.
    We have a mix of old and new printers (most of them HP), and our Macs have been printing to the printers via AppleTalk. With the new print server, we could not easily find the printers on the network since AppleTalk was not turned on. However, once AppleTalk was turned on, it was easy to find and add the printers. We are good so far. Before hand, I tried to add the printers via an SMB connection, but kept having problems with NT Authentication errors.
    I tried printing a test page to the newly added printer, and it came back with this error:
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: languagelevel ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    This is about the best reference I've found so far which relates to this problem:
    http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1167812&page=1
    Most of the other suggestions I've dug up so far refer to updating firmware or drivers, but I don't think that is the problem. The drivers on the old W2K print server and the new W2k3 server are the same, so it is my opinion that something on the new print server isn't turned on or isn't installed yet.
    Any ideas on what the issue is here?

    "Supposedly" the same exact drivers were installed for the printer -- the same driver that was used on the old print server. Might something else need to be installed?
    I've found a few other cases where people are having the same error:
    http://www.macfixitforums.com/showflat.php?Board=Forum39&Number=732031
    Below is the error that is printed when I print a test page from http://localhost:631
    SYSTEM Test Page
    %%[Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
    %%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored]%%
    Below is the error that is printed when I try to print a document (I've tried Safari, Preview, and TextEdit).

    %%[Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ]%%
    %%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored]%%

  • Cannot print with a Samsung ML2160 printer (mono laser) and Pages. Print function doesn't work, only drag and drop in printer's queue

    Hello,
    I just purchased a Samsung ML2160 printer and it doesn't work with nor my Pages program, nor the Preview (to print PDF). No matter the way I tried, the Print function doesn't work and I cannot neither print or even enter the printer preferrences menu! My MacBook Pro has worked before with other printers, but now with the Samsung it doesn't work at all... Though, if I drag and drop a document, jpg, pdf in the printer queue, it prints just fine, but that method gives me absolutely no freedom to the printing... Could it be something from the Computer -> Machintosh HD -> Library -> Printers? Because a friend of mine was recently trying to save me some disk space, and therefore erasing part of the HP printer (to remove the previous printer I owned)...
    If anyone has any idea, that would be much appreciated
    Thank you in advance

    Do the sensible thing, as you say neither Preview nor Pages print, try other programs eg TextEdit. If none of them print then it is a System problem and very likely the printer drivers are AWOL or were never installed.
    Go to Samsung's website and download their software for the Mac:

  • Colours in 'Print with Preview' window are wrong

    I am using Photoshop CS on a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS X 10.4.11.
    I usually use 'Print with Preview' to print photographs. I used to get good results, but something seems to have changed (or I have accidentally changed a setting somewhere). When I open an image in Photoshop, the colours on my monitor (which I regularly calibrate) look right. But when I go to 'Print with Preview', the image shown in the small layout window is now much darker, reds are more brown and in general the colours look quite wrong. And what is even worse is that when I print, the results match the wrong colours in the Preview window and not the correct colors that I see when I look at the image directly in Photoshop.
    I attach a screenshot, showing (on the left) a colour test image opened directly in Photoshop CS and (on the right) how it looks in the Preview window.
    Can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong? I should be very grateful for suggestions.

    The words that helped [me] the most to understand Photoshop color management theory are:
    Color Management starts with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and Color Management ends with a good target profile to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
    The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
    +++++
    While this simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
    1) The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
    2) The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
    Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB—or better yet the ProPhoto RGB—PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me identify where the problem is occurring.
    +++++
    BTW, thank you for the helpful and solved hits.

  • With windows 7, when I print with "draft" the verticle printing is squiggly. Why?

    My hp psc 1210 all-in-one is giving me a few problems since I attached it to my new computer whose operating system is Windows 7 64-bit.   It prints fine with my accounting program, but when I try to use any desktop publishing program and print with the "draft" or low ink use setting  the verical columns print out wavy and my company logo is kind of disjointed.  If I print the logo 2" tall, then the second 1/2" isa little to the left of the 1st 1/2" and the 3rd 1/2" is a little to the right of the 2nd 1/2" and so on.  Can someone tell me how to fix this?

    Hi there ilovebaskets,
    Draft mode will lower print quality some but not to the degree you mentioned. This article should get you back on track. Give the steps outlined a shot and let us know if it helps.
    Best of Luck!
