Cannot see HP Laserjet 4600dn on network

I bought this printer used with none of the install discs. I am using a Mac with OSX 10.7. My Wireless router is a Verison 704WTG. The Lan cable is plugged into port 1 and I have green lights on both the router and the network card. I have downloaded and installed the HP Laserjet and Edgeline print only disk image files. I have printed the JetDirect configuation page but I am not good enough at network config to fully interpret it. Help. I need to print my wedding invitations soon.
Thanks

I was able to resolve it myself. Go to System Preferences>Print & Scan. Click the + to add printer. In the dialogue box that pops up choose IP. in the Protocol field select HP Jetdirect - Socket. In the Address field enter the IP address that is shown in the protocal information section of the JetDirect Configuation Page that you printed out. Leave the Queue field blank. I left the name blank nad the loction. In the print Using field scroll down until you find the Prnter model HP Color Laserjet closest to the Model Number you have and select that and you should be good to go.

Cannot see NAS on my local network by its name (Linksys EA4500)

Hello,
I have just bought a new EA4500 and set it up at home. Most things worked like a charm except one. I can no longer see my Synology NAS on my home network byt its name.
I have the router connected to internet (local ISP, PPPoE). I have the NAS connected by wire, two Windows 8 PCs connected wirelessly. There is also a TV (wired connection), a printer, some Windows Phones and Kindles. One of the PC cannot see the NAS (the other can). It can connect to it by its IP (in browser, by ping), it can see its media server (I can play music from the NAS in my Media Player), the TV sees the NAS as DLNA media server... But the PC cannot see the NAS by its name.
If I list connected devices on the router settings, I can see the NAS and its name. But the PC cannot. What is wrong?
Both PCs have file sharing turned on. I have even SSH'd to the NAS ind successfully pinged the PC by its name. For full disclosure, the PC has VMWare installed with Windows 7 virtual machine.
I made no settings to the router other than going through the Cisco Connect wizard and disabling guest wifi.
Thank you very much for any suggestions.
Solved!

Thank you. Restarting everything didn't help. It happed to be solved by itself later on. I was fiddling with wifi settings and set (and unset) FIPS. Then it worked. No idea if it was a coincidence.

Mediasource cannot see my files on a network dr

I have a SAN network dri've that I access wirelessly over my home network. I have set my My Dcuments to point to this dri've and have setup sychronising for offline use. My Music collection is also stored on My documents. The problem is that MediaSource cannot see any of my music. I have setup this folder as my PC Music Library and have setup sniffing on this folder. I am using MediaSource V5. Any ideas/suggestions pleaese?

I assume that the Capsule backed up only what was on my computer, not my wife's computer. She will have to back up her computer separately, correct?
Correct.
where do I go to see what is backed up so I can be sure it worked?
It is going to take Time Machine some time to index the new backup, so wait a day or so for this to occur.
Then, click on the Time Machine "clock" icon down on the dock at the bottom of the screen. A lot of data has to load, so if you are using a wireless connection, leave things alone for 5-10 minutes or so.
Once you have history of backups, you can use the time line on the right of the screen to select a data of a past backup to view how your Mac looked on that date. If you need to restore a file, navigate to the location, click to highlight the file, and then click Restore below the window

Welcome to Apple Discussions:

That won't do anything. That only allows sharing From Mac To PC.
additional information, sometimes, i was able to but see sometimes i wasn't, depends on my luck.
Maverick says Luck has nothing to do with it
router ip 192.168.2.1
target PC 192.168.2.2
Can you ping the PC? That's the first step. In other words, can you see it on the most basic level?
Open a terminal and enter
ping 192.168.2.2
if that's the PC in question.
If you get a non-null response you are half-way there.
On the PCs, be sure you have file sharing turned on and also be sure you choose simple file sharing.
On the Mac, in the Finder Go menu, enter the IP of the PC where it says "Connect to Server" and you should get a login window. Enter the user id and password for an existing account on the PC.
That usually takes care of it.
pls help.
thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English

Cannot see printer and PCs on network

I have a G5 connected through Airport to a Netgear WGR614 v4 router which is connected in turn to a cable modem. There are also two PCs and a wireless printer (HP Officejet 7410) on the network.
The PCs and printer function correctly. The G5 is able to access the Internet through Airport, the router and the cable modem. The router settings confirm that the G5 is an "attached device".
However the G5 doesn't seem to be able to see anything else on the network. When I try to look at the network from within Finder all I see is one server corresponding to my G5. Do I need to do something to Network Preferences to make the printer and PCs visible to the G5?
iMAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I seem to have resolved this, at least as far as accessing the printer is concerned, by installing HP's software on the PC part of the network first, and only subsequently on the G5. It now seems to work.
I'm still unclear about how Finder works as far as showing me what is on the network. I'd expected it to work like Windows Explorer on XP and be able to show me everything on the network. However it doesn't seem to do this. Is this a problem with my setup, or a misunderstanding about how Finder works with regard to networks?

Can't find drivers and can't see HP Laserjet 4100n on network

Please, please, please can somone point me in the right direction.
This is now DAY 3 and I still cannot get my HP Laserjet 4100n connected to either my network using an IP address, or directly to my new Windows 8 PC using a parallel/usb cable.
I have been able to network a Lexmark X543 with no issues - so it has to be with the drivers or printer.
The time I have wasted on this is ridiculous.
I have just found the HP Printer Wizard - but it doesn't seem to recognise paralell/usb cables - so I am still stuck.

vpa-ni,
I am glad you currently have it working. I put the link below to your HP printer software page.

Lion and others Mac 10.6, I cannot see Screen Sharing on the network

Hello all,
Since I've install Lion on the Mac Mini I cannot acces (and see) on the network in Screen Sharing. I can access all other Mac on 10.5.8 and 10.6.x easily. In the prefs all is exactly like before I upgrade this OS...
Is someone can give me an issue.
Thank and have a great day!
Paul Dionne

I'm not sure what you are and are not seeing from which computers on the network.
Note that whatever your prefererences were before has no bearing on fixing your problem.
Which computers can you see, and from which computers.
What type of file sharing do you have enabled on the 10.5.8 and 10.6.x computers, AFP or SMB?

New Router- Internet OK, but cannot see other machines on the network with Windows Explorer

Everything was fine (but slow) with my old Linksys BRFW1154. Ordered and got a new WRT350N. Multiple computers (using Windows XP) on network can all access the internet and the network printer, but when I try to use Windows Explorer to see files etc on other computers (in My Network Places) from any computer, I no longer can see the other computers. I get the error: "Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this ........etc....".
Any ideas out there as to how I get my network working again?

check whether all the computers can ping each other fine...also, the computers should be in the same workgroup

I cannot see my iMac on the network.

This is a new problem as I have been able to share files before and I don't believe that anything has changed in my setup. File sharing is on and I have tried with and without firewall. I have also tried turning things on and off again, and re-detecting the network. No joy. It is set to share files and folders using SMB or AFP in preferences. Any ideas please?

and another thing. The iMac won't connect to my ipad when I try to connect to server that way round. It almost feels as if they don't believe they are on the same netwrok, but they are!

Cannot see Networked computers and problems with WEP sign in

I recently installed a new HD (SAMSUNG HM500LI) into my 2.16GHz MacbookPro running 10.5.5 and transferred all my files using Apple's Migration Assistant.
Everything seems to have been working fine until I tried to log in to a friend's wireless network using a WEP password. OSX gives me the error message "Commection Timeout". I can however connect to other unsecured wireless networks on the list.
I have tried deleting the keychain access for the WEP network and reentering the correct password, but no success.
What I have also realised is that I cannot see other macs on my Network in finder any more.
Another point worth mentioning is that the Parallels NAT and Guest in Network preferences (for Parallels virtualisation software) have now automatically been renamed to Ethernet... (en2) and (en3).
I still have my original harddrive in an external casing and booted from that and everything worked perfectly - I can both log onto the WEP wireless internet and see other macs in my vicinity.
Can anyone help me here please? Are there maybe some settings that weren't migrated with the assistant? Could it be that my file sharing settings need altering? Did I maybe not format the new drive correctly (I just erased the new one and formatted it in Mac OS Extended (Journaled))? Has a recent Apple update maybe upset something, and if so, is there a way to uninstall it?
Thank you in advance.
Robert

Hi Robbie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Have you done any Maintenance since installing?
If not, at start with this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Then delete the orignals & reboot once more.
On the WEP PW, try putting a Dollar Sign in front of it, like...
$xxxxxxxxx
Also, is the WEP PW exactly 5 or 13 ASCII, or 10 or 26 HEX characters?

Cannot see hard drives on airport extreme

Recently I cannot see hard drives on the network that are connected through Airport Extreme . The airport Extreme can see the drives, but the network cannot. I have not changed any settings that I know of. Only a reset of my macbook pro running Mavericks allows me to gives me access to the drives. Airport utility 6.3.2

+I will check when I get home. How do I do that?+
Connect the drive directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Then open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the drive in left hand panel and look for information at the bottom of the window about the disk
Your drive may be formatted as Windows NFTS. If that's the case, you will need to reformat the drive to work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. Be sure to copy any data that you need to another drive (maybe twice to be sure) before you do this as the reformat will erase all data on the drive.
When you are ready, click the Erase tab and then select MS-DOS (FAT) as the format so both PCs and Macs will be able to read the files.
Then copy a small test file back over to the FAT drive and plug the drive into the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Restart everything on your network starting with the modem first, then device attached to the modem, etc.
On you Mac, open Macintosh HD and check to see if your AirPort Extreme icon appears under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window. If so, click the icon and folder will appear to the right representing your drive. Double click this folder to reveal the contents and mount the drive on your desktop. You should see your test file. Make sure it is operable..music plays, video works, etc.
Sorry, I haven't used Windows in 3-4 years and cannot remember how to access drives, but I would start with My Computer and start poking around. You want to verify that your PC can access and play the files as well.
If everything is OK,you can copy all your backup files back onto the USB drive attached to the AirPort Extreme. Keep the extra backup copy handy for awhile, just in case as well.

Can't see HP Laserjet 3055 with Bonjour on wireless network

The printer is an HP Laserjet 3055 with Bonjour and is plugged into the LAN with an Ethernet cable. An eMac which is also connected to the network via Ethernet can see, print and scan without any issues whatsoever.
All wireless computers cannot see the HP AiO which uses Bonjour. However, by manually entering the IP address in the Print Browser and using HP jet Direct - Socket, the printer is seen from the wireless computers. Using IP printing, all wireless iMacs and the MacBook Pro can print but the HP Director doe not see the printer therefore the scanning feature of the HP Laserjet 3055 are not accessed.

Hi Chris
This answer is rather late and you've probably sorted the problem out. At least I hope you have.
I found your post as I was looking for anyne else with an Intel Mac who had successfully printed etc with HP Laserjet 3052/3055 as I'm about to buy these for the office. After having decided on these printers after checking that they work with Tiger I realised that I coudn't confirm on the HP website that they worked with Intels.
So from your post I guess I now know that Intels do print with this printer, but did you ever sort out the scan function?

Never mind, problem solved. When I retunred to the Network tab the message had changed to "connected, no IP address" so I got that from the WiFi tab and configured the Ethernet manually. Have a nice day @:-)#

Moving TM disk from Network to USB: cannot see previous backups

Hi,
I have decided to move my external USB disk from the Airport Extreme USB port to my computer USB port to speed up backups and restores.
Unfortunately it seems that I cannot see anymore previous backups in the disk using TM.
The disk was accessed through the network and it was setup to have user level access to it: each user have his folder on the disk.
So, what I have done is to move back the disk to my computer, I have run disk utility to check and fix the disk since when the drive is attached to the AE with user privileges, it will report errors once you connect back to the computer. Once that permission errors were addressed, I have moved the time machine backup to the disk root and I have told TM to use this new disk as backup location.
Then I have made a new backup to the disk and it seems that TM was able to detect the previous backups because it has added only few GB to the backup.
Then I have moved to a random folder were I have made changes, and I have started TM: when I do that, TM window will switch me back to "MyComputer" where I can see all drives.
I can move around but I am unable to move back in time, like there are no other backups.
TM backup file is about 140 GB and I can fully access it by using finder: I see that all previous data is there, but TM cannot see it.
I have not changed computer name,
I have tried to use the TM option to "open other TM disks" but It doesn't show any other disk in the select window.
Does anybody know what is happening and how I can try to fix?
thanks!

Thanks for the replies,
I would like to move from a wired network TM backup to a local firewire/USB backup.
So the first error I have made is to have deleted the user directory in the Airport Extreme external USB disk: I have moved the TM sparse bundle file to the new location but I didn't noticed that other hidden files were there.
Second, I was unable to browse the older TM backups using TM and it seems that I cannot "browse other TM backups" using such TM option because the window were not showing me any drive.
I have then realized that I have to mount the sparse bundle to see it in such TM option: then it seems to work perfectly.
So there is no need for me to find a solution to use again the same backup with the local disk: if I need something in future I will use the TM option to browse other backups and I think I will be able to recover any file from there. May be I cannot recover mails in this way.
I think it is also possible to fix by using the procedure listed in the previous link: I didn't try just because I don't want to spend more time on this issue and because I have not enough free space on other drives... but...
...it should be enought to:
1- connect a new drive to the computer;
2- mount the old TM sparse bundle image;
3- use SuperDuper to copy all contents of mounted sparse bundle image into the new attached drive;
contents of the sparse bundle image seems to be equal to the structure and names used by a new fresh backup on a local USB disk, so I suppose that it could work... if someone wants to try a tell if it is so... thanks!
