Cant set up networked printers by IP address

http://Just migrated to a new Mac that has Mountain Lion OS. when I go to add my printers I do not get the option to set up printing through an IP address. the only Option I get is to add printers through Bonjour. My co-worker did the same thing but does have the option to add printers by IP address. Any one have this problem?

It does not jump up in your face the way Bounjour or similar printers do. You will have to dig a little to get to it. Knowing the IP Address ahead can help a lot:

  • Cant set up network printers

    We have a mac pro running Leopard server 10.5.4. Four leopard client computers (10.5.4 also) bound to the server. DNS is working, and users can log in fine to the server.
    Im trying to set up network printers and I'm totally failing. The first printer is an HP laser plugged into a USB port on the back of the server. I add the printer in the System Preferences window. I've tested printing from the server itself and it works fine. In Server Admin, in the Print service, I create the queue (which sees the printer I just installed), I check IPP, and start the Print service. Heres where the annoyances begin. If I go to workgroup manager, click on one of the user accounts, go to preferences, and try to force the printer to show up in the user's list of printers, the list of AVAILABLE printers is empty! So I cant force the printer on the user.
    Fine, but if I go to one of the client computers, log in, go to system preferences, and try to add the printer, nothing shows up! When I try to set the printer up on the client, Im making sure that Im selecting IPP, putting the server address in, but the queue name never shows up.
    Where am I going wrong? And is this even the right way to be going about this? Is there any step by step process for this?

    Hi, not near one of my OS9 machines right now, but do you have Appletalk ON, and, umm, err, there's a place to Choose Ethernet & connect by IP. Then is Printer Sharing turned only on the one it's connected to?

  • Setting up Network Printers that are available to non-global zones

    I need to set-up a network printer that will be available to all zones. I assume that I need to set-up a print server in the global zone. Thus can anyone suggest the best to set this up or point me to the appropriate documentation?
    Many thanks,
    Jon.

    Hi,
    /zones/oracle-z is my root directory of the zone.
    * add the device to the zone :
    root@mpbxapp1 # zonecfg -z oracle-z
    zonecfg:oracle-z> add device
    zonecfg:oracle-z:device> set match=/dev/global/dsk/d12s0
    zonecfg:oracle-z:device> end
    zonecfg:oracle-z> add device
    zonecfg:oracle-z:device> set match=/dev/global/rdsk/d12s0
    zonecfg:oracle-z:device> end
    zonecfg:oracle-z> exit
    * add FS to NGZ's /etc/vfstab : ( You may omit this step, I don't know why but it works without this step :) )
    root@mpbxapp1 # vi /zones/oracle-z/root/etc/vfstab
    /dev/global/dsk/d12s0 /dev/global/rdsk/d12s0 /global/oracle ufs 1 no logging
    * add FS to global zone's /etc/vfstab :
    root@mpbxapp1 # vi /etc/vfstab
    /dev/global/dsk/d12s0 /dev/global/rdsk/d12s0 /zonefs/oracle ufs 1 no logging
    * set the FilesystemMountPoints property :
    root@mpbxapp1 # /usr/cluster/bin/clresource set -p FilesystemMountPoints=/global/oracle:/zonefs/oracle oracle-hastp
    Whit this configuration you may ensure that the FS is not directly accessible from master zone. Actually, it's accessible but with a different PATH. For example, for Oracle, from the master zone Oracle can not be started/stopped because the controlfile can not be accessed. :)
    Hope this helps,

  • Need helping printing to networked printers.

    I need help setting up network printers that have a code on them for each individual. There is no place to put a code so the printer will know who is printing what. I have installed 3 printers and they will not print, they just go to a paused mode and when you hit resume in reverts back to pause because it is looking for a code. I have tried it another way but it asks for a user name and password and all we have are codes. The workplace is using a windows based server and the copiers are listed as followed.

    I need help to be able to print from my mac. I also have parallels running with xp installed and all the printers are installed on that side and printing fine. Hopefully someone can help me out.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In order to provide the user with the ability to input a user code, the respective printer driver would have to provide the facility. If this feature did exist on a previous version of OS X, then you may have to check the vendors web site to see if there is a driver for 10.6.
    If you are not sure if the function was supported previously, then go through all the user menus for the driver. The function may be present but located in an unusual location. Or it could require an additional file (aka plugin) that could be missing from the driver installation or not compatible with 10.6.
    The other thing to note is that if you have the Mac's printing via a Windows queue, you will have to provide user credentials for SMB print queues. This is typically a Windows user account - not the Mac's account details. If you don't want to create accounts for the Mac users on the Windows server, then you can use LPD rather than SMB to connect to the Windows queues. This does require UNIX Printing Services to be enabled on the server.

    +You may have already done this, but do you have the first AirPort Express configured to "Allow this network to be extended"?+
    Could not find that setting anywhere.
    It's in AirPort Utility, AirPort panel, Wireless tab.
    When I'm within the range of the base station I connect normally, but further away the connection drops despite the fact that the other Airport is very close and light is green. Interestingly, my PB Pro has signal almost everywhere in the house, but my iPhone and Mac Mini don't. Most likely just a hardware difference?
    In AirPort Utility with the second Express, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow wireless clients"?
    The second AP does show an IP address: 10.0.1.3.
    With a "Configure IPv4" setting of "Using DHCP", that suggests that the second Express really is connecting to the first Express. In that case I have no other explanation of your your problem.

  • Windows Networked Printers

    my crappy old works Dell is constantly dieing (sp?) on me!
    i am tired of it so i want to bring my Macbook to work and use that.
    thing is i MUST be able to print to 3 (Xerox, Hp and sharp) printers. all are on a windows server to which the PC can print to any of them. i can gain access to the server with my allocated UN/PW.
    how do i set up and print to these printers?
    IP addresses?
    i cant install more than one driver as tried this before...?

    You should be able to connect to them on your mac by connecting to the network and server at work, then going to *System Preferences*, *Print & Fax*, and then click the + under the box on the left and looking in the Windows tab. The networked printers should be listed there, and you should be able to add them.

  • Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

    Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
    -Andrew

    Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
    It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.

  • Solution for Network Printers who've lost Appletalk?

    Figured out what appears, so far, to be a solution to those having issues with older network printers and the loss of Appletalk in SL.
    After trying everything recommended to make my HP 4050n work under SL, and just about to give up and start shopping for a replacement printer (much to my disgust - my 4050n has been a workhorse and is still in perfect working order, even at 10 years old!), I spied the $29 Apple USB Ethernet Adapter I purchased for my MB Air sitting on the corner of my desk.
    Well, I had tried everything else to no avail (because my ethernet IP had to remain unchanged from its DHCP settings for my cable modem to work), I figured, what the heck, and moved the printer's cat 5 cable from my e-net hub/switch to the adapter plugged into a USB port. Lo and behold, SUCCESS!!!
    The OS recognized it as a separate "USB Ethernet" device, allowing me to set a separate IP Address for the printer than the modem. Following the steps below, some as outlined already by others, I now have my legacy 4050n working and available as a network printer. Yay!
    1. Cold Boot your printer to reset to original factory settings (see manual or mfgr.'s website for method).
    2. Print out a configuration page using the printer's menu and note the new IP address (apparently, it's often 192.0.0.192).
    3. Plug in your printer's cat 5 cable into the adapter and the adapter into an open USB port.
    4. In System Preferences > Network, configure the new "USB Ethernet" selection's IP address manually (I used the "DHCP with manual address" setting) - I found that it's best to set it one number down from the printer address, so, in my case, at 192.0.0.191.
    5. Go to Print & Fax in System Preferences and click on the "+" button to add a new printer.
    6. In the drop down window select IP for the connection type at the top, then a protocol (in my case, I have the HP with a Jetdirect card, so the choice was the HP Jetdirect socket), the enter the printer address from the configuration printout and type an identifying name into the Name box. When I did this, it almost immediately found the correct Printer driver (something that had alluded me in all my previous attempts!) and I was back in business.
    Here's the link in the Apple store to the adapter:

    Hi George,
    Does this happen for every Network Printer or specific one?
    Did you find any network performance problem during your issue?
    Firstly, please check your printer driver, update to the latest version on both client side and Terminal server. If you are using Easy print driver then you can try to disable that and check the result. For that you need to disable the option “Use
    Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first” under below path.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection
    In addition also check there is no any network issue. More information:
    1.  Printer Redirection
    2.  Bandwidth Allocation for Terminal Server connections over RDP
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Network printers take long time to show in control panel - devices and printers

    G'day,
    an annoying effect both on Win 8.1 and Win Server 2012 R2: after installing/connecting a network printer for a user, it takes about 10 minutes (sic!) till printer is shown in devices and printers...
    Printer is shown and can be used immediately after connect in word/notepad, but properties of printers can only be managed via devices and printers. Work around for setting standard printer: open notepad, click
    print and right-click printer.
    But we have to choose a special printer profile, which cannot be done else than devices and printers.
    Sometimes even previously installed printers do not show for minutes after logon...
    Restarting spooler: no effect
    Changing drivers: no effect
    Printers are Konica C554 series and 4700P series with Konica PCL drivers.
    Print server for network printers in Win Server 2012 R2 (VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2)
    No other network issues.
    Thanks and regards.
    McButtonn

    Open the printer folder the spooler team built. It's hidden but available and will list just the printers not the devices.
    If the print shows up immediately, the spooler has the information.  You will be running the shell command to invoke the old UI.

    Enumerating into the Devices and printers UI is then the issue.

  • Help to set my network...

    Hello, I've got troubles to set my network correctly...
    Let me explain the configuration:
    1. The router is connected to the internet, the WiFi is turned off.
    2. Time Capsule is connected to the router with an ethernet cable, it's in Bridge Mode, the WiFi is set to 802.11 n only, the 5GHz is set to channel 36 and the 2.4GHz is set to channel 8.
    3. Airport Express is connected to the network created from Time Capsule, it extends the network in 2.4GHz (this AirPort Express doesn't support dual bands).
    4. Apple TV is connected to the network in 5GHz.
    5. iPad 2 is connected to the network in 2.4GHz.
    6. iMac is connected to the network in 5GHz.
    7. iPhone 4S is connected to the network in 2.4GHz.
    8. MacBook Pro is connected to the network in 2.4GHz.
    9. The printer is connected to the network in 2.4GHz.
    The troubles are:
    - When the iMac is in sleep mode, after a few hours it dissapear from the network. So I cannot access it while on the go with my iPhone through 3G network, neither from my Macbook Pro on the same network.
    - Sometimes the IP address of the Time Capsule becomes the same as the Apple TV.
    Well, I hope everything is clear to understand...
    Thanks in advance

    And if you don't have luck on the SL forum then I'd recommend posting on the Airport forum. You can find that at:

  • Set up Network Load Balancing on an Azure VM

    i have an VM on Azure, on which I have two AD LDS instances. I want to set up Network Load Balancing to have fault tolerance between the two AD LDS instances. when i start to create a new cluster, it shows me a message that DHCP will be turned off. i ignored
    that one time, and what conspired was that i was unable to access the VM only. i had to set up my AD LDS instance on a different VM again. 
    is there any way which will enable me to set up the AD LDS instance properly on the VM?

    Hi,
    Firstly, if I understand correctly, you set up a cluster with only one VM? Based on my experience, you need to use two Azure VMs running AD LDS to configure Failover cluster.
    In addition, did you mean that you cannot RDP into the VM after you created the cluster? If yes, which kind of error message you have received? Please check the Quick Glance of that VM on the
    Azure management portal to make sure that all the parameters for that VM are displaying, especially for the internal IP address.
    Furthermore, it seems that the question is related to Azure Virtual Machines, I recommend you to ask in Azure Virtual Machine forum below for further assistance:

  • RDS & network printers best practices

    We are in the process of designing a multi site remote desktop solution for a customer, they have around 80 users with 5-10 users per site. I've been searching for some recommendations about the best way to deploy their network printers.
    The RDS farm is located in a single site, the other remote sites will not have a local server. Traditionally we've used site-site VPN's and just set the printers up as network printers on a central file/print server. Doing this works but you lose the benefits
    of Easy Print and potentially we may struggle with bandwidth at some sites.
    Is there a better way to do this?  One train of thought is to add the printers locally to the thin clients, then use individual printer redirection so that it utilises Easy Print. This seems to work but from a management point of view it's pretty unfriendly.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks
