Canon MF4150 over network on Windows 2000

I've been searching but haven't found a solution for my problem, so I thought maybe someone could help.
I'm running a Canon MF4150 laser printer on a Windows2000 server. The printer is shared out and can be accessed nicely through Windows machines on the network. Now I need to print to it from my iMac but can't get it to work.
I have downloaded the latest driver from Canon's website, v1.80, and installed the driver. Interestingly however, there is still no imageClass or MF4150 printer in my list. There are two UFRII printer entries but none seems to be an obvious choice for the MF4150, once called "MF4360-4390 UFRII LT" and the other one "D460-D490 UFRII LT."
So I look up the printer on the network using System Preferences -> Print & Fax" and then select it under "Windows" where the printer shows up nicely. Since I don't seem to have a proper driver despite my installing it, I selected the MF4360-4390 UFRII LT driver in hopes it would work. But no luck.
I never get a peep out of the printer and if I go to the printer monitor and select utilities I get an error message saying, "Cannot find the printer to monitor."
Does anyone have any suggestions what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks
Guido

I had the same problem when I tried, quite stubbornly, to get my USB-connected Canon MF4150 to Vista Home Edition Compaq Presario machine to print over the network from both my iBook G4 and my MacBook Pro, wireless, both running OS 10.5.5.
I tried every iteration of the Canon UF driver, from 1.6, to 1.7, to 1.8, and I tried both the IP Printing feature with and without LPD support. I enabled LPD printing from within Vista as well in case it was a Microsoft issue. I also tried going through the Windows pane in the print panel. It appears that yes, it's a driver coding issue, one of which I've never experienced with HP. It appears Canon just releases a new model of printer rather than effectively update their drivers to support cross-platform network printing.
Hopefully Canon will release a 1.9 or 2.0 that effectively addresses this issue. I'm able to see the printer over the Windows Network via the Add Printer Preferences pane and the Windows tab. However, even though it "sees" it I get an error code.... 45052 or something like that. The printer just doesn't respond to the command.
Why doesn't Microsoft have something similar to Bonjour which would facilitate printers shared on a Windows Network...wouldn't that make it a lot easier? It's too bad Bonjour is only one-directional from a Macintosh to PCs, and not bi-directional. It would solve a lot of headaches like having to load VMWARE or other bologna like that.
Having solved lots of other cross-platform issues in the past, this one was a doozy and I guess all we can do is call technical support at Canon and put in a trouble ticket for them to release a new driver that's coded to handle wireless network protocols in addition to hard-connect USB protocols. That seems to be the solution but apparently it must come from Canon.

Cant open over network from Windows to Leopard, but ok to Tiger

Hi
We have a number of Mac Pro's some running Tiger and others running Leopard. I can open any quicktime file over our network from a PC to any Tiger Mac, but not to a Leopard Mac. Why not? I can see the files I can open any other file type, just not QT. Copy the same file over to one of the Tiger Mac's and I can open it from the Windows PC. This would not be such an issue, but we are dealing with 1920x1080 uncompressed files and it is a real pain to move them.
Get Error 43: a file could not be found
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Tony

Well outside help other than this list has solved this. Seems there is a bug in QT windows that if a QT file resides in a folder on the MAc with a name longer than 8 characters, it wont open over the network.
ie. Running QT Windows 7.5 connecting over network to a Mac running leopard.

Acrobat 9 Pro very slow open files over network in Windows 7

I have installed Acrobat 9 pro on my new PC. It's running Window 7 64bit. I use it for pre-press of high-resolution files for printing. Sometimes the file sizes run into the 100s of MB.The new PC has reasonably high specs, with 6Gb of RAM and a 2.8Ghz Quad core i7 CPU and gigabit networking.
Opening them when on the local hard disk is reasonably fast. For example a multi-page 400Mb file starts drawing the first page withing 3 seconds. But opening the same file when it's on the server of our gigibit network generates a very long pause. The application locks up and dispays a "not responding" message for 2-3 minutes. The bigger the file, the longer the pause. It doesn't completely crash -- eventually it starts to draw the pages and I can work as normal.
I used to have Acrobat 9 pro on my old XP PC which was a cheap low-end machine when bought 3 years ago. (has on-board shared RAM graphics card and only 1Gb of RAM). But what grieves me the most, is this slow old machine will open the same 400Mb file off the server so much faster than my expensive new machine. There is no lock up and it begins drawing the first page after only approx 5 seconds.
The problem doesn't seem to be simply related to slow network speed. I can copy the entire 400Mb file from the server to my hard disk in only 12 seconds. The old PC is actually slightly slower copying to/from the network. If the application was for some reason copying the entire file into memory or to a local cache, this should still only generate an extra 12 second delay -- not 3 whole minutes.
Adobe Reader 9 doesn't have the problem. I can open the 400Mb file off the network on either my new or old machine within seconds.
Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't have the problem on an old G5 mac either. It's somewhat slower than my old PC but will begin drawing the first page after a few seconds,
So what exactly is Acrobat doing for those 2-3 minutes?
I have already tried:
1. changing network ports/cables.
2. disabling anti-virus software
3. disabling "remote differential compression"
4. Patching Acrobat 9 to 9.2
5. Files located on Windows servers and Mac Xserves.
Not improvements from any of these.

I think I have isolated the source of this problem. It's the Pitstop Professional 9 plug in. I un-installed this, and everything opens quicker than greased lightning. I re-installed it and it's back to slowsville.
Unfortunately Pitstop is essential to my workflow.
Until recently I did my pre-press on a Mac G5 with Acrobat Pro 7 and Pitstop 6.5. I never had this problem with slow file opening. But it seems that the delays would occur when I used the plug-in with large complex files.. So it would open files as fast as you'd expect from an elderly machine. But starting to use Pitstop would result in a prolonged period of staring at a spinning beachball.
I wonder is there any way to stop the Pitstop plug-in from initializing until it is used? So the plug-in stays inert until you select the tool from from the menus.

Hp3300 mfp over network with windows 7 pro

My HP 3300 MFP LaserJet Printer connects via parallel port LPT1 to Server running WIn2k. My new laptop with Win7 Pro can find the Server and C:\ drive on Server but can't seem to connect to the HP3300. The add new printer dialog boxes walked thru adding the PCL 6 printer at the correct IP = 192.13.1.100 and got a green check mark on Status and "success" on verification but still can't print on the printer. Any suggestions??

Not an HP professional, but if the printer is installed locally on the server, connecting to it via an IP address won't accomplish anything. An IP address would only be used if the printer is set up as a native network printer. To print to a shared printer (and that's what it would be set up as) you would need to:
Share the printer on the server (right click on the printer, choose "Properties", "Sharing", and give it a meaningful share name).
Set the printer up on your local (client) machine as a network printer, using the naming convention \\Server_Name\Share_Name, rather than attempting to connect via IP. Additionally, once the printer is installed (and shared) from the server, you should be able to browse to it (the same way you got to the C:\ on the server) and it should show as a shared resource. Once you see it there, you should be able to right click on it and choose "Connect".
All of this was done from memory, so some check marks or menus might be in different locations, but it should point you in the right direction if you're still having the issue.

Using jdk1.3 compiler over network on NT SP6 and Windows 2000 is very slow.

We recenlty shifted to jdk1.3 from jdk1.2.2. We compile java files that
are on a mapped network drive. The compiler,source files and the class
files are read from and written to a mapped network drive.
We have noticed that our compilation times have increased 3 times since
we started using jdk1.3. We compile around 4000 files which use to take
4 hours when jdk1.2.2 was used and with jdk1.3 it is taking around 14
hours. This is the case when we compile on Windows 2000 and Windows NT
Service Pack 6 machines. But compiling on Windows NT ServicePack5 it
would get compiled in 5 hours. This is really weird but that is the
workaround we have now that is using a NT Sp5 machine for compilation.
Wondering if anyone else has seen this problem. Please let me know.
Thanks,
VJA.

Well the bottleneck in your build process is always going to be the network regardless of the compiler you use.
Ok, the compiler may be slower but the I/O issues far outweigh the compiler performance.
What affects the build process you have that you can compile on a particular machine but the files must remain on a central server?
There is little difference in copying all the files to a local machine, compiling locally and copying the class files back to the server, and having the compiler read from and write back to a network driver apart from performance. Obviously there may be some issues however very few that cannot be resolved.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

The issue is that i only want the shared folders to be accessed through windows 7.
Whats the point otherwise to have shared folders?
thanks..

How do I connect a Windows 2000 PC desktop to my home network (laptop mac)

Hi,
Sorry to be such a novice. I have created a wireless network with an airport express. My Macintosh laptop can connect to it without a problem and can access the internet. Next step is I want to connect my desktop PC (running Windows 2000) so that it can also connect to the internet using the wireless connection.
Do I need special equipment so the desktop can find the airport express network? How do I set it up on the PC?
Also - does anyone know the easiest way to connect a TIVO to the home network as well?
Thanks for any guidance!
-Lori

Your PC needs to have the ability to join a 802.11b/g compatible network. If it doesn't have that hardware ability, you will need to add a wireless card or wireless adapter.

Window 2000 & RMI client losing network connection

We have a client/server java application communicating via RMI. The application runs perfect when the network is running smoothly. However, once the client loses connectivity with the network, the client runs in offline mode (as expected). However, once the client reestablishes a connection with the network, it is unable to communicate with the Server via RMI. It seems that Windows 2000 reassigns the client's IP address when it goes offline to localhost (127.0.0.1), when the client is reconnected the IP addresses is changed back to the network address, but it is unable to send data to the server running RMI. Any suggestions? We did not experience this problem with Windows NT.

you need to specify the IP address of the server object from the JVM in which it is exported, using -Djava.rmi.server.hostname argument to the JVM (since the client and server run on one machine, you probably want to set this to 127.0.0.1, I think)

MacBook Pro won't detect network printer Canon MF4150

I have a multifunction printer, Canon MF4150, hooked upto a PC Desktop and I have enabled printer sharing. The printer is detected and works fine on my PC Laptop. However, when I try installing it on my 13" MacBook Pro, the **** thing won't show up. It doesn't show up under the Windows category of Print and Fax so I tried to set it up the way Apple has suggested in their support section. It asks you to go to advance and input the IP address and location of the printer and then select the printer driver. I would post the link but I conveniently can't find it right now. The printer driver is obviously not listed on the list, so I go to the Canon website and download a mac version of the driver and install it. When I check to see if it's on the list now, it says MF4360-MF4390, but not MF4150. I thought I had installed the wrong one but I downloaded and installed it again, and I got the same problem. Anyone have this printer or have a similar problem? Another way to hookup this printer would be much more convenient, is there anyway that the Window tab could detect it? Any help is appreciated!

The warranty must be close to running out. Take it ASAP to the Apple Store or AASP and have it checked.

ITunes 7 won't install on windows 2000 (network error) but iTunes 6 works

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I have been trying for almost a week to download the "Idol gives back" videos but I'm not able to with iTunes 6. Says I have to upgrade...sounds easy enough, so I download Itunes 7. I already have the latest quicktime installed and it works fine. The setup for iTunes 7, however, will not work. I get this exact message:
Could not access network location iTunes\.
I read in another forum that editing some registry keys would help but that didn't work. What does this error mean? And why won't iTunes 7 work with Windows 2000 whenever iTunes 6 works perfectly? This is very frustrating, all I want to do is download the Idol gives back videos to help out the children's charities. I never thought they would make it so difficult. I know I can't be the only one with iTunes 7 issues. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

that's normal. a number of the error messages that displayed with a number in 6.0.x and earlier versions of iTunes (like the 1606, the 1316 and certain species of the 1402) no longer get the number showing up with the error message with the 7.x installers. (it seems to have been part and parcel of the change away from basing the installers on InstallShield technology.)
okay, let's try the general advice from the following document to see if that can help:

Windows 2000 laptop can connect to unsecured Apple network, but not w/WEP

I have a PC laptop running Windows 2000 with a Linksys WPC54GS wireless network adapter. I am running two Apple Expresses as one network. This is a healthy network and most everything I need to do works.
However, I can't connect to this network unless I turn off security entirely. Well, to be exact, I know it doesn't work (yet) with 128-bit WEP, and I haven't tried the 40-bit WEP (and don't especially want to). I tried switching to a 13-character password and getting the hex equivalent of it for use as the password on the laptop, but still no joy. The Linksys application on the PC lets you generate 4 different keys from a text password. I tried that too and tried all 4 different keys, and that doesn't work either.
Any ideas?

One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Only Windows XP has native support for wireless networking.
Other versions of Windows do not have native support for wireless networking.
What this means is that, unlike Windows XP, you can not plug in a wireless adapter and expect Windows to recognise it and start working.
You will need to install some kind of software configuration utility that came with the adapter. Each manufacturer has their own software so as a result the process of using these utilities to connect a Windows (non-XP) computer to an Airport wireless network will be different and so no generic guide is available.
Having said that you may find the following information on things to watch for useful.

File loss over network on Mac Pro /windows

Hi I hope someone can help, I have been using my network for over a year with no problems also networked the same for the last 4 years.
I now have files and folders go missing when dragging between computers I have one mac pro and x2 windows computers vista & 7.
The network is set up so I have the windows set up for emails and downloading files - I then transfer to the mac, I work on them and drag them over to the windows vista which runs the rip for my large format printer.
I have a shared folder on each pc which all the computers can read/write.
When i drag files and more often folders from the windows 7 to the mac they will not show on the mac but are sitting in the shared folder. when i drag from the mac to the windows vista I sometimes can't see anything in the shared folder (other times a few things) but I can't add folders or drag files over without them going missing. there is no logic or pattern to what i get so if this make any sense i really could do with the help!
thanks ali

The new user helped a little but not enough to make the customer happy. I have done a bunch of research over the weekend and I have found there is a little known bug in Apple's ACLs. ACL stands for Access Control List and I have a snippet from a MacFixit that describes the issue:
"A disappointing aspect of Repair Permissions in Leopard is that it does not deal with ACLs (Access Control Lists), a secondary layer of permissions control laid on top of standard Unix permissions, tentatively introduced in Tiger and actually used for the first time in Leopard. Repair Permissions will announce that it is surprised to discover that a certain folder has an unexpected ACL setting, but it won't do anything about it (in other words, it won't repair that kind of permissions)."
Anyway it appears to me that if your privileges get hosed in a computer upgrade the only way to really fix the problem is copy all of your data to a second HD and then break out the install DVDs that came with the Mac Pro and do a fresh install and set the user/file-sharing up manually and then copy your data back to the Mac Pro. I did not connect back to the G4 to get the data again, I just copied my many years of correspondence back to the Mac Pro and this time everything works?
The new user idea did let me manually drop files onto the Mac Pro from connected computers it WOULD NOT let me save files to the Mac Pro from network computers. I usually got a bad path message when I would try and save from Word or TextEdit. I figured I had wasted enough time on this problem and erasing everything and starting over was a better idea.
Thanks everybody.

WebLogic as Windows 2000 service over s shared file system

I am trying to install weblogic as a Windows 2000 service over a
shared file system with no sucess
(the shared fie system is provided by windows 2000 cluster services).
I am using the srvany utility to have the script that launches
weblogic be run as a service (I need this
because I must launch 2 instances of weblogic in the same machine
as services, i cannot do this
with the bea service tools, having different configurations for
the classpath, or can I?)
The service works if weblogic is not installed in a shared file
system.
On the shared file system, it fails (The service fails, is unabble
to start). I also made a script on the local file
system, that calls the weblogic script on the shared file system,
but weblogic fails to start (with no
message) when loading from the weblogic.classpath
thanks for your attenction,

I have also tried running the service with the bea tools, with no
sucess when running in
the shared file system.
When i start the service, it seems to start ok, then stops. with
no message.
Nothing is written to the log, any ideas?

Home network - How can I get Tiger & Windows 2000 to connect?

This has been an ongoing annoyance for some time now.
I cannot get my G4 iMac running the latest updated Tiger to connect to a PC running Win2K (home network) through a basic router and junction box.
Both are connected to the internet (DSL) via a router, then one of those "splitter" or junction boxes (what's the right term for this thing?) -- the connection goes from the DSL outlet on the wall, to the router, then into this junction box, which then connects the iMac and the PC to the net.
No problems with the net connection for both machines.
Way back when I first had a different PC connected to this configuration, I COULD see the PC from the iMac, and vice versa. File sharing worked seamlessly.
Then one day, for no good reason, the Mac could no longer "see" the PC ... but the PC could see the iMac. So I resigned myself to swapping files to and from the PC.
Just recently, I changed internet providers for my DSL, resulting in an entirely new IP address setup for each machine. Both machines now get the net. But now NEITHER machine can see the other.
From the Mac, I have tried:
Clicking on the Network icon in the Finder
Typing various different things into the window that results when I click "GO" then "Connect To Server" -- the IP address of PC, the name of the PC, etc.
Ensuring "Windows file sharing" is engaged in the "Sharing" window of the System Preferences
Ensuring "Appleshare" is on
Ensuring the firewall allows traffic with windows file sharing
From the PC I have tried:
Ensuring the main drive is shared
Installed every network sharing device I could (TCP/IP, etc)
From the "My Network Places" window, tried "adding a new network place" (iMac doesn't show up)
Clicking on the "Computers Near Me" icon (nothing but the PC itself shows up)
Clicking on the "Add Network Place" icon (cannot find the iMac no matter what I type into the window, or when I click "Browse")
Why is this so difficult? Why won't it work now when it did before? Why has the machine-to-machine capability of seeing each other steadily degenerated over time?
I know I can go out and buy "Dave" to possibly get this working ... but I shouldn't have to, Tiger has been touted as the most amazing networking thing yet. And, it worked before.
Is there a way to run a diagnostic on the networking function of Tiger? Could it have possibly been damaged?
Any suggestions?

It sounds to me your network needs to be troubleshooted before we can answer that.
I know I can go out and buy "Dave" to possibly get
this working ... but I shouldn't have to, Tiger has
been touted as the most amazing networking thing yet.
And, it worked before.
You don't need Dave at all. Samba is the pc filesharing protocol and that is built into Tiger.
Is there a way to run a diagnostic on the networking
function of Tiger? Could it have possibly been
damaged?
Yes there is away to diagnose your problem we can work on that.
Any suggestions?
What is the make and model of your dsl modem?
What is the make and model of your router? What is the make and model of the box your refer to as splitter.
Also goto the network preferces of your mac and post back what your ip address is and what router ip address you have.
On your pc goto the start menu, click run, enter the work 'command' press enter.
In the dos window type
ipconfig
press enter
and post back the results.
