Connect Macbook to printer shared on Mac from a different subnet

I have 2 printers shared from a Mac Mini (OS C 10.8.4) and I need to setup a Mac on a different subnet to use them.  The Mini already has shared folders that I can access from either location.  The printer only shows up when I am on the same subnet as the Mini.

It will help us to give better answers if we know the printer models.

  • Connecting MacBook to printer in an XP Microsoft Small Network

    Hi: I have working my Home Network in all my PCs and printer with windows XP Prof. The MacBook is connect to the printer using its MS OS and works very well in MS environment, wireless or directly connected.
    How could I set up my MacBook in this Network throughout the Tiger Mac OS 10.4.11??
    (I need connect my MacBook to this network and its printer, but from Tiger OS)
    Thanks

    I think he means that he is dual booting (or using a VM) and the Windows partition on the MacBook can connect to the shared printer.
    To connect your Mac running Tiger 10.4.x to a printer being shared by a PC, read the following article;

  • How to create print sharing for Mac and PC computers

    Hello~ I hope someone can answer these questions... Thanks!
    We are a small design office. We have trouble printing recently after we upgrade our Mac OSX v10.4.
    We have:
    2 PC computers (Window XP Home Edition)
    1 Power Mac G4
    1 Power Mac G5
    1 PowerBook G4
    1 Epson Stylus Pro 4000 large format printer
    1 hp laserjet 3030 fax/copier/printer
    We used to transfer the PC files to the server and print from Mac. We were able to print with 'shared printer' if one Mac computer is connected to the printer. After we upgraded 1 Power Mac G4 to OSX v10.4, we can no longer use the 'shared printer' for the other Mac computers. We cannot find the printer under 'shared printer' in the Adobe application, such as Illustrator and Photoshop.
    We would like to set up the print sharing system that both Mac and PC computers can send files to the prints without putting files to the server or switching the printers. Can anyone help please? Many thanks!

    There are a couple of disadvantages with formatting a
    disk as FAT32. Firstly, there is a limit on the file
    size for FAT32. I think it like 2 GB so if you
    capturing video the results will probably not fit
    into this file limit. Secondly FAT32 will not be
    bootable. I alway clone my system to a backup disk as
    bootable. That way if anything goes wrong with my
    system, I can just boot from my backup disk and fix
    it.
    The problem with doing this though is that the drive will not be usable with Windows (which was in the original posting) unless you use the third party MacDrive software on the PC.

  • Printer Sharing with Mac on a Windows dominated network

    Hey guys,
    So basically, for the past few weeks I've been trying to get my printer connected through the network so I can print wirelessly. Basically, from my research, I need to get my Mac connected on the "homegroup" of the Windows network. However, when I try to connect, it asks me for a username and password. My computer doesn't have a password -- and I don't want to put one because it's a shared computer. Is there a default password? Or am I forced to put a password on that computer?

    If a Windows computer was sharing the printer that you want to connect to, then this would be the correct action to take. But if the printer is networked, either wired or wireless, and not shared by a Windows computer then you could connect your Mac directly to the printer if you connect to the same network.
    As for the "homegroup" this is a WIndows only setup introduced with Vista. Your Mac cannot connect to a homegroup. So do mean workgroup?

    When you want to connect to a Windows shared printer you will get prompted to enter a Windows username and password before you see the shared printer. So you do not enter your Mac user details. Have you been provided with a Windows account you can use?

  • Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

    I have a wireless network via cable modem with some PCs attached and a printer but am having trouble connecting my new MacBook to the HP LaserJet 2100 printer via wireless. I do not have airport express and not sure I need it to have the MacBook print to this printer. Please advise.

    Hi topgunner,
    How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

  • Connecting Macbook to printer in wireless network

    I recently got a Macbook. I have a pc downstairs that is connected to an HP officejet printer, and one upstairs connected to the same printer via the wireless network. My Macbook uses the same wireless network but I don't know how to find and connect to my home printer. It is already connected to one printer - an unopened one I will use at college. Can I connect to two? I searched via spotlight (I'm new to Macs and finding everything) and it brought me to the printer utility set up thing, but I just can't find the printer even when I tell it to add one. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me!
    Thanks,
    Kerry

  • Problems with file/print sharing between macs

    I just recently created a network between my mac pro and my imac. I discovered that the only way that I could share files/printers between the two is if I shut off the firewall on both machines. If I let the firewall 'allow only essential services ie, file and printer sharing, the machines would see each other and the printers, but would not allow either to connect. Any suggestions?

    Thanks a lot Frank.
    The firewall has always been disabled, since I baught my iBook.
    There's two issues, the irc app and the videocam app.
    Guess the videoapp is an easier issue. The port is 2000-2002
    The irc application is I think a little more complicated, it has two settings in the prefs file (the app is IRCLE):
    1. In the DCC prefs I flagged the "ADSL, Airport, IPNetRouter and have flagged the auto configure for the Public IP Number (151.51.138.131).
    2. There is also a Firewall prefs. I haven't done anything with this. There's an areal called "Ident Settings (OS X only)". There one can flag the "Run Ident on a different port than the usual 113" If one flags that, then you can choose the port (it says it must to be 1024 or greater). "Note: you may need to change your firewall rules to make ident work this way, redirect incoming ident data for TCP port 133 to the port set above"
    Does this make any sense?
    Thanks a lot again, really,
    Emmanuel

  • Can you access your iPhoto on your MAC from a different device?

    My Mac, which is my housing source for all photos from the past 7 years. Is there any way to access my iPhoto and it's contents from a different device WITHOUT using iCloud? I have iCloud, but I don't believe that I ever connected it with my MAC.

    Where is your laptop?  You might be able if you have file sharing setup and remote access enabled on it.  However the laptop whould have to be setup to allow you access remotely.  You can learn more about that by asking in the forum for the system that is running on the laptop.

  • Setting Up a New Mac From Two Different Time Machine Back-ups?

    Greetings Apple People,
    I am planning on getting a new iMac. Right now my wife I are still using our separate MacBooks from college. Both of them have Time Machine back-ups. We would like to setup our new iMac to have two different users. Is it possible to setup each of the users on the new iMac from our respective Time Machine back-ups?
    I know you can do this seamlessly with one Time Machine back-up, but can you do it from two different back-ups, essentially merging the two, while keeping the separate user profiles?
    Thanks!

    Follow the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide using one computer as the source on first boot. Then, hook up the second computer and use the Migration Assistant to transfer the second user account and nothing else. Don't use the TM backup because it's much slower doing it that way than directly from each machine.

  • Can home sharing be used from two different homes?

    I was wondering if you connect Home Sharing from two different homes is it possibly to share the music?

    The primary constraint is that Home Sharing uses the same wifi network for sharing/streaming between computers/devices. So if the wifi network stretches across multiple houses, it should be possible. But if the houses are on different wifi networks, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

  • Windows xp printer sharing to Mac OS 10.6.7

    Hello everyone?
    Im mac newbie. My small office network have 2 computer. 1 computer is a windows XP and another one is macbook. My network solution is wireless. I'm installing and configure canon mf4680 printer on my windows xp computer. Then sharing and I wanna add printer on my macbook. I was following this guide
    http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/sharewinprinter.htm
    all installation and configure succesfully done, but im printing on macbook i recieved error code. This error is printer driver error -50 etc, sorry im missed.
    Pls help me guys how can install sharing printer on my macbook?
    Pls apologize my english skill

    Unfortunately it is not possible to use the Canon MF series from a Mac when the printer is being shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of Canon's UFR2 driver for OS X.
    But if your wireless router has an Ethernet port then you would be able to print from the Mac and from Windows if the MF4680 Ethernet port was connected to the Ethernet port of the wireless router. All the printer will require is an IP address, which the router can assign automatically (DHCP). If your wireless router does have an Ethernet port and you need information on how to set the MF4680 to DHCP then please reply.

  • How to share an usb-connected Windows Vista Printer with a Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I own a laptop Sony with Windows Vista (64) which has a printer connected via USB. I recently purchased a MAC MINI (middle model) and wanted to use my laptops printer for printing from my Mac mini. is this possible? thanks. Mx

    Hey there Max,
    If you can’t find the printer in the network browser, it may be easier to add the printer manually using the URL field, as shown in the article below.

  • Connecting a network printer to my mac

    I have a macbook pro(OSX 10.8) and recently a bought a D-link DNS-325 nas. The nas has an ability to connect printer to it. I have a brother mfc-7420 connected to it. I managed to connect the printer from the windows computers so I know it works. I have a problem connecting it to the mac. When I add a new printer and put the IP address of the nas and specify the driver it go through. The problem is when i am trying to print it doesn't print at all and shows the printer as paused all the time.

    The best action will be to use the printer information for the Windows printer as a guide.
    So in Windows, if you select the printer and right-click and select Properties (or Printer Properties on Win7) and then select the Ports tab and then click the Configure Port button, this will show the connection settings being used by Windows to the Brother. Of importance is the Protocol being used and if RAW, what Port is used, and if LPR, what Queue Name is used. With this information you can then configure the Mac to connect using the same settings.

  • Connecting to hp printer shared over network

    my roommate has a pc, and i've figured out how to add his hp photosmart 7150 from the printer setup utility by manually doing option-click on "more printers..." and then selecting "advanced" and "windows printer via samba" and manually putting in the device URI.
    the problem is that the photosmart 7150 is not present in the list of printer models from hp (and the hp printer drivers are installed).
    i thought it was kind of strange because when i directly connect the printer to the iMac, my computer knows that it's a photosmart 7150, so the drivers are floating around somewhere on my computer.
    how do i setup the printer over the network and make the printer setup utility understand that it's a photosmart 7150?
    thanks.

  • HP printer shared between Mac & PC

    After searching the forums I am having to post.
    I have a Deskjet 5550 connected to the mac.
    I cannot get the printer to print from the PC.
    I know they see each other as I am able to access the PC files from my MAC.
    I am in the process of making the switch so if you wouldn't mind dummy up any suggestions.
    I must be missing a major step??

    Major step - on the PC, use a color postscript driver (Apple Color LaserWriter is good). This sends postscript from PC to Mac - the Mac print queue expects postscript input.
