Connecting printer to a different computer

We can't connect our Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175 to another computer in our office.  We have one computer connected and running properly and another one that is displaying a printing error w/ an excamation mark by the printer saying 4 documents  in queue.  And we are wanting to set up yet another computer.

Here is a link that will help you run the Print and Scan Doctor that can clear the print queue.

  • Sending a book for printing from a different computer

    Hi everybody,
    I'm an Aperture registered user and I live in Italy. At home, I actually have a quite slow internet connection. On the other hand, my office one is very fast but our lan does not accept a mac so I can't connect my macbook pro. Is it possible to "send" the book from a different computer? I mean, once Aperture have created the pdf-x, is it possible to carry the file from my macbook pro to my office pc and send it to Apple for printing?
    Thank you!
    Paolo

    Boot into Safemode and Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If it is good order while in safe mode

  • How many times can you connect ipad to a different computer?

    I have an Ipad 1 and when connecting it to my new laptop (not Mac) it told me the device could only be connected one more time to a different computer. Are there limits on Ipads as to how many computers or times we can connect them to? Is there any way to reset this or not?

    When it comes to apps, this is right, unless you use the Windows version of iFunBox (the Mac version, not even the latest version, doesn't work for direct IPA transfer). However, you can transfer / sync music / videos from several computers using third-party tools (without jailbreaking!!) with tools like SyncPod / FreeSync.
    You may want to read the section "A side remark: put music / videos / other media on your iDevice without iTunes" at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/ios-contact-management-duplicate-removal-impor texport-etc-tips-and-tricks for more info.

  • If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

    Hi Folks,
    I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my  Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
    So is that doable?
    Thanks in advance

    And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

  • I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

    I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

    You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off!  Thank you dwb!

  • HP office jet 4620 has good wi-fi connection but, cannot print directly .via my computer?

    I  have spent 2 full days trying to print from my computer (also wi-fi enabled) through to my HP Officejet 4620.
    I have had splendid downloads from HP trying to sort the problem but no luck so far. 
    I have windows Vista and my computer is a  faithful old Toshiba Satelite L300 and, I have not connected to a printer before on this computer.  To enable the printer to engage with my wi-fi rovider was easy and successful. It prints test papers great.
    Any help would be so appreciated.

    Hello missmoneypenny,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you are unable to print over a wireless network with the Officejet 4620 with a Windows Vista computer. When you try to print, what happens? Is there an error, is the printer not found, does the software not install, etc?
    Have you tried the Print and Scan Dr, if not, run it and let me know the results.

  • Trying to print from a Vista computer to a printer connected to an XP computer

    I am trying to print from a Windows Vista computer to a shared Laserjet p2035n printer connected via USB cable to a Windows XP computer.  When I try to print a test page 2 files are sent to the spool/printers folder on the XP computer but nothing prints.  The printer prints fine when printing directly from the XP computer.  When I found the printer on the network and told it to connect it installed automatically.  I thought maybe the wrong drivers were somehow installed so I downloaded and ran the Vista drivers file for this printer from the HP site but it didn't change anything.
    I have cleared the spool folder and reinstalled the printer but still no joy.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Here is some additional information... The printer does print from other networked XP computers, just not from the networked Vista computer. This makes it seem like it must be a driver issue. Is there some way to totally remove the HP drivers for this printer from the Vista computer so that I can do a fresh install?  When I uninstall the printer from the Vista computer it obviously doesn't remove the drivers because when i reinstall the printer it goes in automatically without giving me a chance to specify where the drivers are.
    Are there any known issues regarding printing from a networked Vista machine to a printer connected to an XP box?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone out there has!

    The only way out of Recovery mode is to connect to iTunes and restore. If you cannot access the computer you normally sync with, you will lose all of your content, unless you sync to iCloud. With no backup present, your content will be lost.

  • During setup HP PSC 2175v printer locks up XP computer when usb cable is connected.

    During setup HP PSC 2175v all-in-one printer locks up XP computer when usb cable is connected. Only hard shutdown and restart to get computer working again works. How do you fix this issue?

    The USB port on the PSC2175V may be defective or the XP USB port is defective.
    Can you try the PSC2175V on another computer?
    Check the XP device manager for any problems, do other USB devices work ok?

  • Use an external hard drive - want to connect to a different computer...

    Hi, pardon my ignorance but...
    I keep all my ipod music on an external hard drive since I only have my work laptop, but the programs are on the computer. I used to never have a problem accessing itunes through my work laptop once I plugged the hard drive in.
    The last time I synched my ipod there were about a dozen songs that I got a message "Some of the items in the itunes library, including..., were not copied to the ipod 'My iPod' because you are not authorized to play them on this computer". Some of the songs were explicit content, some weren't. Some I bought on iTunes, some were loaded from cds.
    If I take my external hard drive and plug it into a different computer what will happen? Is there a way to get those songs back on my ipod? Again, sorry for not being too saavy. I have a 30GB video iPod.

    +yes, when my external hard drive is plugged in, it lets me play the songs...+
    So, were you expecting them to play when the exHD isn't plugged in? Because they won't!
    Also, you need to have the exHD plugged in before you even start up iTunes, or your library file will get messed up.

  • Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.

    Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to. 
    I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
    The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
    You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
    application and the selection is stored in a config file in 
    C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.  
    In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
    users.
    Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
    services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
    So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
    in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A. 
    SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
    physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
    SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
    C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    they actually get 
    C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    and user "B" gets
    C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?

    I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
    I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
    printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
    Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
    (a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
    After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
    This was clarified by the following series of comments:
    I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
    and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
    USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 –  James

    @JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. –  Nathan
    C Mar
    17 at 16:28
    You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... –  James
    NewtonMar
    17 at 16:35   
    @JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. –  Nathan
    C Mar
    17 at 16:51
    Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… –  James

  • Can't connect to my Windows XP computer

    Everything worked flawlessly with the MacBook, but of course now that I bought the MacBook Pro and reformatted my MacBook, I can't get into my Windows XP computer. I turned off the Windows firewall to help in troubeshooting.
    I get the message: "The alias __ could not be opened, because the original file cannot be found." I can either hit delete alias, fix alias, or OK.
    It tells me I don't have sufficient privileges for deleting the alias, fix alias ask for me to choose which document I would like the alias to open (which is irrelevant because I want to connect to the Windows shared printer), and OK doesn't do anything.
    Please help, I'm pulling my hair out over this issue.

    If we could get some more information on the following:
    Windows XP ??(pro or home?)
    Anti Virus or Firewall applications installed (McAfee, Zone alarm, Norton, etc?)
    Your goal: File and printer sharing? Having the new Macbook Pro access the Windows XP computers files and printer.
    With Windows you have to setup the file and printer sharing wizard, so that it opens the ports on the computer to accept incoming commands from other computers.
    To accomplish that, you do the following:
    *Open up My Networking Places (by going to Start, then clicking My Networking Places)
    *On the left hand panel (Network Tasks), click where it says "Set up a home or small office network"
    *Follow the steps, hitting next
    For the first option, you could select Other, then....
    Select the option at the top "this computer connects thru network port, hub..."
    *click next
    *now, for the Workgroup name, you could put what you want for this. I'd prefer to have it named WORKGROUP, then click next
    *then choose the option to turn on file and printer sharing, click next, and let it do its thing
    *You might have to reboot after its done.
    <====>
    After doing that, now, on your Macbook:
    *Open up Your Hard Drive -> Applications -> Utilities -> and open Directory Access
    *Make sure the Lock is unlocked
    *Double Click on SMB/CIFS
    *In the Workgroup: type in the name of the workgroup you choose. In this case it was WORKGROUP
    *Hit okay, and close out the program.
    Now you should be able to click on your Network Icon, and you will see the windows xp computer name, and you will be able to click on it do what you wish.
    As far as the printing, I am going to look into it. I know that the printer requires some drivers to print thru the different operating system.
    What type of printer is it?
