Cant get chooser to find my network printer!

I was wondering if someone can help me..
I've tried everything on my OS 9 G4, but cant seem to get the Chooser window to select my HP PSC 1210 printer. It shows it in the left window but is greyed out. My ethernet is working perfectly. I have the printer hooked up to my OSX MacBookPro and that goes to my D-link DI 624 router and another Ethernet cable goes to my OS 9.2.1 G4 quicksliver. A printer icon is placed on my desktop but it cant find the network.
I'm stuck ANny help would be greatly appreciated.!!
Thanks / Alexis

  • Please Help: Cant' get Windows computer to see network printer

    Hi,
    I have my printer shared on our network directly into the airport. All of the Macs can use it no problem, but when we try to get a Windows computer to access it, we're having no luck.
    I followed these direction I found on Macworld:
    AirPort printer sharing isn’t restricted to Macs: Windows PCs can also use an Air-Port print server. To set this up, you’ll need the AirPort’s IP number. (By default, it’s at 10.0.1.1.) With the PC attached to the AirPort wireless network, open the Add Printer wizard in Printers and Faxes. Following the steps in the wizard, create a local printer, deselecting the Automatically Configure option. Next, click to create a new Standard TCP/IP Port, and enter your AirPort’s IP number in the IP number field. If the IP number is 10.0.1.1, the queue name should automatically fill in as IP_10.0.1.1. In the next screen, select Standard as the device type, and then specify Hewlett Packard Jet Direct. Finally, click on Finish, and then select your printer make and model from the list of available drivers.
    but had no luck as well.
    I'm trying to connect to an HP Lasterjet 2200.
    Thanks,

    I fixed the problem. I coudln't get the Windows machine to find it on the network unless it was actually plugged into the USB port of the Airport Extreme.

  • Cant get data from text file to print into Jtable

    Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.
    void dbTest() {
    DataInputStream dis = null;
    String dbRecord = null;
    String hold;
    try {
    File f = new File("customer.txt");
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
    BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
    dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
    Vector dataVector = new Vector();
    Vector headVector = new Vector(2);
    Vector row = new Vector();
    // read the record of the text database
    while ( (dbRecord = dis.readLine()) != null) {
    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(dbRecord, ",");
    while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
    row.addElement(st.nextToken());
    System.out.println("Inside nested loop: " + row);
    System.out.println("inside loop: " + row);
    dataVector.addElement(row);

    dataTable = new JTable(dataVector, headVector);
    dataTableScrollPane.setViewportView(dataTable);
    } catch (IOException e) {
    // catch io errors from FileInputStream or readLine()
    System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!" + e.getMessage());
    } finally {
    // if the file opened okay, make sure we close it
    if (dis != null) {
    try {
    dis.close();
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
    } // end if
    } // end finally

  • Couldn't find wired network printer - Reset to factory defaults solved the problem

    In the hopes of helping others who may have this problem - I got a new E3000 router and set up everything fine but could not see my Brother HL5250DN wired printer on the network.  Tried everything including the Brother "network repair tool", nothing worked.  Finally I did a reset of the printer to factory defaults and presto, it appeared on the DHCP table!  So if you can't find a device like this try resetting it according the the manufacturer instructions.  Pulling the plug or turning it off and on may not be sufficient. 
    For my 5250 the reset involved turning the printer on while holding the GO button down, then after the LED's go off, press GO six times.  Pretty arcane procedure but it worked.  Problem solved. 

    How about you try these troubleshooting steps:
    Reboot the router (for 30seconds)
    Wait for the power light to blink TWICE
    Reboot the router again (for 30 seconds)
    Wait for 2-5mins for the power light to get solid
    Check then if you can ping the router ; try to configure it
    Once the router will respond, try to set it up manually. For further instructions to set it up manually, refer to these links: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service & Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection.

  • Photosmart b209a can't find wireless network.

    I've only had this printer for three days. The "Easy One Button" process to get it to find a network failed. It cannot find my wireless network.
    I'm using XP Professional on my laptop. McAfee Virus scanning and Firewall. (Not that it matters if the printer can't find the wireless network)
    I have a DSL D-link router with NO MAC filtering and yet when I print the Wireless Network Test Report it gives me this whole spiel on MAC address filtering and asks to add the MAC address of the printer to the router... but there's no offered solution if MAC filtering is turned off.
    I've changed my router security key from WEP to WPA-PSK.
    I've managed to get it to connect twice... and to print a test page on separate days. I have no idea what it is I do that gets it 'online' but it doesn't seem to last.
    I have spent several hours over the past three days (wasting entire days) trying to work out what the problem is. I have read forum posts; I have googled for solutions. The troubleshooting guide for the printer seems hopeless.
    The printer is on the same desk as the router with only a computer monitor between them.
    When I print the HP Network Configuration Page it states the status of the 802.11 Wireless is "Disconnected". The printer's wireless light is on, showing that the wireless radio is working on the printer.
    I bought HP because my last printer was HP and it was excellent (but not wireless). If I can't get it to go online, seriously, I'll take it back and exchange it for a different brand of printer. All I want is a printer I can print to wirelessly, is that so hard to ask? Yes, I'm getting really frustrated here. I live in a rural area and I don't have access to geek friends or a computer professional or anything like that and returning the printer requires a two hour drive so I have to be as self-sufficient as possible. Please, try not to use too many technical terms. I can understand some but not all and if anybody can help me, please be clear in their instructions (ie, don't just say 'go to setup blah blah blah' without saying which setup you're talking about.)
    Thanks for any help. It is appreciated.

    Yes, the desktop is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
    Yes the laptop is wireless.
    The printer is connected to the router via wireless (which I've already stated, it keeps losing the wireless network).
    If I don't have my printer connected to the desktop via cable, then I won't have any printing capability at all, because, as I just said, the printer keeps losing the wireless network! I need at least some way of printing when the printer can't find the network (even though the wireless network is working perfectly fine).
    So, desktop connected to router with cable.
    Laptop is wireless
    Printer is wireless for laptop use (but it keeps losing the network and therefore is totally useless in that respect)
    Printer is connected to desktop via cable to enable printing because of wireless continuing to lose connection to wireless network.
    In fact my printer hasn't been able to connect to the wireless network for 2 days now... even though I'm currently connected to it on my wireless laptop.
    Sometimes the printer finds the network, sometimes it doesn't and when it does, if I try to print from the laptop wirelessly, the printer loses the network.
    This really is poor product and the installation manual might as well be used for toilet paper for all its worth, same with the 'help' feature on the disk. I only chose HP because I was familiar with it, since my previous printer was HP and reliable (but not wireless). I'm seriously wishing I'd purchased a different brand.
    I'm not an IT tech, but I've managed to be able to connect modems and routers and other peripherals to my network without too much hassle at all... until now.
    I'm sorry if I sound angry but this is completely frustrating. I spent good money for a product that I am unable to use for the main purpose I bought it! I'm reduced to saving things to USB sticks and physically taking them to the desktop computer and having to print from there.

  • Can't connect to a networked printer - Airlink101 USB Print Server

    I am new to Mac. I am trying to connect my iMac to a Brother HL-5040 laser printer through an Airlink101 USB print server over my wireless network. The iMac connected to the 802.11g network immediately without any issues which is more than I can say for the other XP machines I own. I have several other Windows PC's networked and they all print just fine. Using the print setup utility, I can find the networked print server and add it to the printer list; however, I can not print. The status monitor indicates that it can't connect. The install directions on the Airlink101 website for the Mac does not seem to match the options that are part of the "add a printer" utilility. Any help would be appreciated.

    When we try to add another one of the printers it finds the printer with the IP, it auto-detected the driver, then when I click next, I get an error stating there was an "error connecting to the printer would you continue anyway?"
    We try to print but the queue just continuously pauses and nothing gets sent to the printer.
    This could be a result of the protocol you selected. IPP is the default listed. If you remove this printer and add again, but this time change the protocol drop menu to HP Jetdirect-Socket, see if this works better for the user.

  • Network printer just quit was working fine

    HP OfficeJet J5780 attached to USB on Windows 7 Home 64 bit. Wifes HP laptop, Win XP (32) over the network was working fine for the last 3 weeks. Today she gets errors "No printer installed"  it shows in the Printers and Faxes window. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, even totally deleting the driver in printer server. I use the wizard, it finds the network printer on my machine, it says there are no associated drivers in the server would you like to install them? I say yes, it installs successfully but if printer icon is right clicked,  one option is to "Pause Printing" even though there hasn't been a printing job initiated. Also when Preferences is clicked the big error thing pop-s up. The printer shows in printer dialogs but when clicked a message, "a Printer must be installed..." appears

  • Setup can't detect network printer Photosmart C7250 all in one

    I volunteer for our local historical society.  The person who did a lot of the computer maintenance work is not active at this time so I’ve begun to look at things. 
    There is a Gateway PC running Windows 7 64 bit home premium, a Sony Vio laptop running Vista 32 bit  home premium, an HP Laser printer and (of most importance here) an HP Photosmart C7250 All in one printer.
    Internet connectivity is via a dsl line with a combination modem/router.  I think the modem/router is a Westell or an Actiontec through Frontier Communications (formerly Verizon in this area)  but I’m not sure and I’m not at the museum now.
    A couple of weeks ago I was able to connect the laptop to the network via wifi.  My next step is to connect the laptop wirelessly to the printer so we can print wirelessly over the network.  The printer was originally set up through a usb connection so I changed it to a wired Ethernet connection.  The PC now successfully prints to the printer over the network.  I downloaded the software and drivers directly to the laptop from the HP site and began the installation.  When it got to the point of finding the network printer the software couldn’t detect it.  I then put in the ip address for the printer (from the network info printed out from the printer) and it still couldn’t find it.
    This same situation occurred when I tried to set it up on my personal laptop (Win7 , 64 bit) as well.  Setup couldn’t detect the network printer, even after searching for the network ip address. 
    Since the printer is connected to the network (router) via an Ethernet cable, I don’t have the wifi radio turned on in the printer.  This shouldn’t make any difference.   
    I’ve searched the forums and haven’t seen anything that is like my issue.
    I don’t what else to do.  Hopefully someone will give me some advice on what to do next.

    What does it say?
    If the network has Wireless Isolation turned on it will prevent wired devices from seeing wireless devices.  Do you have access to the router?

  • [Solved] Wicd not finding wireless networks

    I have a Belkin Wireless G USB key and can't get it to find any networks.  The wiki said the driver was built into the kernel, so I'm guessing it should work with no problems.  I followed the wiki on installing wicd, and while wicd finds and connects to my wired connection, it's not showing any wireless networks.  Is there something I should be editing that wasn't mentioned (or I failed to notice)?
    Edit: Got it.  Ran 'dmesg > eek' and read through it, found out I was missing the firmware.  What confused me was that the firmware wasn't the one mentioned in the wiki.  Nonetheless, works now.

    Having similar problems with my ageing G5and 10.5.8.
    Sometimes get a 3 band wireless /fast connection to my network but at other times when waking from sleep get nothing. I have to reboot my airport extreme base station and the Netgear router and then the G5 can see the network again.
    Recently had an issue with the G5 not recognizing the wireless password (WPA 2 personal) without logical reason.
    I did a Keychain First Aid verify/repair.
    Now back on a 3 band wireless and for now all seems fine.

    Plus read this Windows 7 sharing printer thread and there is a lot of solutions in that thread.
