Connecting to a printer in a Windows network

I recently upgraded to OS X Lion without too much hassle or problems, except that I am now unable to print using the office printer. It is a fairly 'old' model, Kyocera FS 2000D, and since I upgraded it asks for authentication every time I attempt to print. The printer is shared from a Windows computer and it was setup without requiring authentication. Needless to say, logging in with my user name and password does not work.
I tried checking the Kyocera site, and unfortunately they only have the driver for OS X 10.5 (which also worked with Snow Leopard).
Is there a way I can print using this printer, in the absence of an updated driver?

To add a Windows shared printer to the Mac, regardless of what OS X is running, you will be prompted to authenticate using a Windows account/password. If the Guest account is enabled on Windows you can select to authenticate with that.
Then when you print the first time you will also have to enter the Windows account details. But if you save this information to your Mac Keychain, then the next time you print you will not have to provide the authentication details.
As for the driver, if the Kyocera supports the Postscript or PCL printer languages, then you could use the Generic PS or Generic PCL driver that is included with Lion to print until Kyocera releases a driver update.

  • Printing to a Windows Network printer after 10.4.9 upgrade

    Very desperate with this. We have a couple macs at the office and after a move and some software updates all cannot print via a Windows network printer.
    Unable to connect to SAMBA host is the only error we receive.
    I checked my smb:\\ syntax, I have tried IP address, tried picking from the list (which by the way the printers do show up yet you cannot print to them)
    Extremely frustrating and with an Anti-Mac IT director this gives him more ammo to say Macs are irrelavant in the workplace.
    The Macs are bound to Windows Active Directory and the users are Active Directory users. We do not have a Mac OS X server. Our printer server is Windows 2003 SP1, the printers range from an HP LaserJet 4100 to a Xerox WorkCentre 24, all do not work.
    The ONLY network printer that appears to work is the printer associated during the login

  • CUPS won't allow printing in a Windows network

    I just spent five days trying to get printing working in my OSX 10.9.2 (iMac). Here's the thing: the printing network is a Windows smb network. Everything works fine on my MacBook OSX 10.9.2. I can manually install the smb://xxxx/yy printer and it works just fine there. So what's wrong with my iMac? I have no idea, but this is what happened. First I tried installing through Printers & Scanners / Advanced. And it worked fine on OSX 10.9. I used guest/guest credentials for the Windows network printer when asked.
    But after upgrading to 10.9.2 it stopped working. The queue window says Ready to print and refresh or Resume does nothing. In the error log it says "ERROR: error in CUPS Filter - : Broken pipe". And also there are possibly problems with authentication.
    Then I tried installing the printer through the CUPS web interface. Had weird problems with it, as it's very hard to control users and authentication. At one point I thought I had cracked it, I was able to print with my Windows network credentials. But the next print did not work anymore. I had to uninstall the printer and install again to get just one print. After trying to set users right with different sudo commands I am now at point where I can't even get one print through.
    What can I try? I have done Reset many times from Printers & Scanners, no difference. What does the broken pipe mean? And how to set the printing CUPS user to what I want (it needs to be different than my OSX user or "root")?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select

    from the hierarchical list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • MacBook to print on a windows network

    I have proceeded with the install process to enable my mac to print to my windows network. However, when I attempt to give my username and password, nothing works. "Administrator" or my XP login will be accepted. Are there settings on the XP machine that need to be revised? Any assistance is appreciated.

    The apple link I provided above has the same procedure it is: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301397 I would like to know why following the regular install method does not work for a lot of people. It will not authenticate unless you provide the IP user name and password in the advanced manual way. It is easy enough to do it manually with good instructions. The people helping need to be careful, they all seem to post the first iFelix site and do no get that it is the authentication that is messed up. I searched this site and many others and people just don't get that some of us for what ever reason have to use smb and install the user name and password manually. It almost drove me nuts. BDAqua helped me figure out the smb protocol on the networking thread.

  • Java source which makes connection to IP printer on TCP/IP network. URGENT!

    I want to develop a Java application which makes connection to IP printer on TCP/IP network and sends data to be printed as string. The printer can be at other location or in other country but it should be able to print the data in the string. It should not be necessary to install printer on the machine, when you open your printer attached to your computer from control panel you will not find the printer. Programming should be in socket programming. When connection is been made between machine and the printer, what ever you write in your string gets printed automatically at printer. I don't want to use printer name just its IP address. Printer can be of any type postscript or pcl. Thank you.

  • Can't print to a windows networked Gestetner printer

    I can not print to a printer on a Windows server. I am connected to the server and can see other printers on Appletalk and Bonjour.
    I can see the Gestetner Dsc535 multifunction printer unders "Windows Printing" in the printer set up utility.
    I get as far as setting it up and selecting the driver I downloaded for the Gestetner Dsc535 but when I print all that comes out are pages of what looks like a Hex Dump?
    I seem to be able to send some sort of data to the printer but it isn't printing.
    I am connected to the network through my Airport Express and can print to the HP printers in the office network by IP, Appletalk and Bonjour.
    I have read on the Gestetner web page that a Fiery set up might be needed. Can i use the Fiery driver that came with the OS?
    At a complete loss here as is the Admin personal (all windows I a the only Macintosh)
    Help.
    Macbook-Intel 2 Ghz 1gig RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    What you call hex dump is likely postscript code. The printer has an optional postscript card - maybe you don't have that card. Manufacturers assume Mac users will buy the add-in card, so the driver downloads are always for the postscript version.
    The printer is also HP-compatible (uses HPs PCL page language). You should be able to print using the generic driver "HP Laserjet 6 Series Gimp-Print," included in OS X.

  • Can't connect my P1102w printer to my wireless network (using Mac OS 10.6)

    I have a vanilla home wireless network (D-Link to a cable modem), and a MacMini running OS 10.6.8. My Mac laptop and 4th. Gen iPad work seamlessly. But my hours-long attempt to connect my new HP P1102w to the network has been totally frustrating, despite close study of the pdf documentation, the printer's self-test/Device configuration sheet, browsing this forum, watching a slew of YouTube/HP videos, and  following all manner of directions.
    The only consolation is the printer works fine on its USB connection. 
    Here are some issues I've encountered that have stopped me in my tracks:   
    Carefully following both the pdf instructions and HP's online how-to video, I get through Step 6 w/ no problemn. but then I go to Step 7, which says:
    " Under Communication Mode , click Infrastructure , select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button."
    Problem is there's nothing of the kind in that window. All I see is a status of the Wireless: enable or disabled (depending on a choice). And even if I try selecting Enabled, it switches right back to Disabled. Aside: I note the printed instructions show a copyright date of 2011. That's ancient history in the CPU world.  
    Other issues: The only IP address I can find for the printer is the IPv4 address, but that's only for Direct Print Configuration. Is that the IP address I'm looking for?
    The printer's hardward address, I assume, is its MAC ? Boy, I could sure use clearer use of language here. 
    So, needless to add, I'm stuck. It seems it should be THAT hard, but so far nothing I've been able to find on HP support or the forums seems to help. Thanks for any advice you can provide.
    PS. I'd hate to have to return this printer because I'm a two decade HP printer lover, but, alas, I may have to if I can't find a solution.

    Hi @Northwest-John, 
    I see by your post that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network. I can help you.
    Update the printer's firmware by the USB connection just to make sure that isn't causing any issues with the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS) not allowing the proper changes. HP LaserJet P1102w Firmware Update Utility.
    The newest version is 20130703, which you can compare by printing the configuration page.
    Power cycle the router and restart the Mac.
    The printer won't recognize the network name if there usually is any symbols or spaces in the network name.
    Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometimes the Embedded Web Server (EWS) won't open in other browsers. Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
    Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
    (hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)
    Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Mac.
    Go to the Apple, system preferences, print and fax.
    Double click on the P1102w.
    Open the utility.
    Click printer setup.
    Click HTML config.
    This should open the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
    Click the Networking tab.
    Click Wireless from the list on the left.
    (Click Enable if you have this option)
    Under Communication Mode , click Infrastructure.
    Select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list and then click the << button so the network name moves over to other box.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication , click WEP, WPA/WPA2 or open . Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
    Make sure you select either hexadecimal or alpha depending on your password. (very important)
    Apply the settings.
    In the confirmation box, (changes have been saved) click OK.
    You should get a solid blue light on the printer shortly.
    Then all we have to do is delete the USB driver and add the network driver.
    Click on the Apple.
    Click system preferences.
    Click the print and fax icon.
    Highlight the printer and click on the - sign to delete the printer. (USB driver)
    Disconnect the USB cable.
    Then click the + sign and select the printer from the list and click add. (P1102w bonjour)
    Test the printer.
    If you have any issues with the HTML config opening then do the following steps:
    Close any applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, computer, MAC harddrive, Library, Printers, HP, LaserJet, click on folder for your printer, click on EWS browser or HTML config, click the Networking tab, click wireless on the left and fill out your information. (make sure infrastructure is selected) Apply settings.
    Then delete the USB driver and add the network printer.
    Let me know if you are still having issues with filling out the EWS for the printer.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Connecting HP990Cse via print sever in Windows 7 64bit

    I want to install the drivers for an HP990Cse printer which is connected through a printer server built into my WD Netcenter network drive. Windows 7 (64bit) can find the printer but not the driver. Also, this printer is not found in the list provided in Windows. It asks for the location of the driver files (browse button), however, I am unable to download any driver files from the HP website. All they have is a wizard to allow hookup via USB or instruct the user to simply hook the printer to Windows and let it provide the driver. I am not hooking up via USB, so I not sure what to do.
    When installing a Brother printer, I had no issue since I could download the driver files, put them in a folder and then point Windows to that folder. Where can I get the driver files for this printer or what procedure should I use to install this printer?
    Thanks,
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I will answer this question myself for the benefit of anyone who may find themselves in this position. Following some advice I found on the Internet. I did the following:
    I installed the printer as a local printer on the USB port allowing Windows to provide the driver. It worked find plugged into a USB port.
    I then moved the printer back to the print server in the NetCenter.
    I then went into the printer driver on the ports tab and added a new port with the network path for the printer. For example \\printer_server_name\printers\DESKJET-990C.
    This did not work, however. So I went to the Network and Sharing Center and chose the option to View Computers and Devices which showed the print server. I double clicked on the print server which then displayed the connected printer. I double clicked on the printer to connect to it. I got a message saying that the driver could not be found. I clicked OK to install the driver. When the driver list appeared, I selected HP in the left column and guess what? The 990C printer driver and a bunch more HP printer drivers were listed. I selected the 990C and everything worked fine.
    I not sure if installing the printer locally caused Windows to populate the list with more HP drivers, but it seems as if it did because those drivers were not in the list before.

  • Printer disconects from windows networking with Client32

    Hi,
    I have a printer attached to a Windows 2000 box. It is shared with windows
    networking.
    I have a remote client that cannot see the shared printer while the IPX
    protocol is loadaed.
    I unsintall the Novell client, remove the IPX protocol and the printer is
    there.
    If I reinstall the client, the connection to the printer is lost
    Any Idea what may be wrong ??
    I tried installing the client only with IPX and IPX/ip and nothing works
    Thanks in advance,
    ernesto Fox

    It is most likely an MS Browser issue.
    How is the MS Client configured? IP? IPX? Does the network involve
    routers?
    We are really moving beyond NW Issues, but I suspect that Different PCs are
    becoming master browswer and generating different lists of MS Network
    resources.
    While potentionally not the most efficient design, you may want to ensure
    that IPX is loaded for all of the MS Clients, that the IPX frame-type if
    forced on all of the PCs. etc....
    Now that recommendation would be to ensure easy browsing of MS resources in
    a simple network.
    If you can get your hands on some free LPD software for setting up LPR
    printers on your Windows 2000 this would be very easy.
    W2K ships with the ability to print to LPR but not host LPR printers. XP
    comes with both I believe.
    http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?12500000037640 is a free copy or LPD
    software.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a windows network

    Hey... I have used my MacBook outside of the office all the time, but know we are going to use it for business purposes. We have a "basic" windows network to share files, folders, printers and scanners.  How do I start connecting my MacBook to this network. 

    Hi alex,
    It probably depends on which OS you're on; the following is for 10.6.8.
    If you're trying wirelessly, I think you can open System Preferences > Network > click on the lock and enter your password if it's locked > select AirPort > in the dropdown menu next to Network Name select Join other network and enter the info asked for > click Apply if it's not grayed out.
    If ethernet, click on Ethernet > Advanced > click on the Ethernet tab > select Automatically in the Configure dropdown menu > click on OK > click on Apply.

  • Can I connect a wireless printer to two wireless networks

    I searched and couldn't find an answer to this exact situation. The answers to similar questions didn't seem to work.
    Can we share a wireless printer over two wireless networks without adding hardware or changing the wiring or doing complicated software modifications?
    Here is my set-up:
    Cable Modem> Linksys Wireless Router “N” on the first floor > older AirPort Extreme “G” via ethernet cable on second floor > Laser Printer via USB Cable on the second floor, plus an AirPort Express to extend the area on the second floor. We have 2 MacBooks and 1 MacBookPro that connect to the internet via either of 2 wireless networks. Generally, for better connection, you choose “N” if you are on the first floor and “G” for the second floor.
    Currently, if you want to print to the USB Printer, you just select it in the print dialog box. It does not matter if you are on Network “N” or Network “G.”
    We just added a new wireless Printer that’s on the first floor. (No, I didn't read the directions, the printer screen said if there is a W?? button on your router, press it. I did and it automatically connected to the “N” network. It also has its own email address for printing without a computer, but that still doesn't solve this question.)
    If you want to print to this printer, you must first change the computer’s AirPort setting to join the “N” network. If you don't, you still get the print dialog box, but eventually you will notice that nothing happens. The document just sits in the Printer’s queue.
    Is there a way to get a computer on the “G” network to find the wireless printer on the “N” network without first changing networks?
    Remember, it automatically finds the USB printer that is plugged into the “G” network router.

    It used to be that if you wanted to wirelessly extend the range of a network, you'd have to set up a WDS. (WDS = Wireless Distribution System.) There was no "Extend a wireless network" option and no "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox—you'd have to fill out lots of WDS information yourself. It was sort of a pain.
    Then, with the 802.11n AirPorts, Apple introduced the "Extend a wireless network" option, greatly simplifying the setup process. It accomplishes the same thing as a WDS, but it's easier to set up and has less overhead. However, it can only be used if every AirPort in the wireless network supports 802.11n.
    Your Express may support 802.11n, but your Extreme is older and does not. So "Extend a wireless network" won't work for your network. That's why you got errors when you set the Express's "Wireless Mode" option to "Extend a wireless network." Instead, you'll have to do things the old-fashioned way* and configure the Extreme and the Express to be part of a WDS. Your network will still work as desired: the Express will rebroadcast the signal from the Extreme, and clients will connect to whichever station has the stronger signal. It's just that you'll be using the older WDS technology instead of the newer "Extend a wireless network" feature.
    "Join a wireless network" is something different entirely. You'd use it if you wanted to connect to a network but not rebroadcast it. This could be useful when, for instance, your main router isn't an AirPort but you want to use AirTunes. In your case, however, this option wouldn't be very useful.

    *Actually, the old-fashioned way would be to use modems. Or to forget about the internet and send snail mail instead.

  • Why won't my Macbook Pro recognize (and connect to) a printer on same WiFi network as my Mac.

    My Macbook Pro was connected and printing to my WiFi network just fine.  However, I started getting an error message saying my printer was not connected.  I checked my printer and it is still connected to wirelss network and the printer test confirmed it was with a strong signal. I have turned off and restarted both the printer and Macbook but I am still getting the same error and it will not print. I decided to delete the printer and add it back, however, when I tried to add it my Macbook didn't list this device or my label maker that is also connected to the network.  It is as though my Mac is not recognizing any devices on the network.  Could I have a setting wrong on my Macbook?  My notebook is connected to the network and it is working.  Both my printing devices show they are connected to the same network.  Help!  I would appreciate any suggestions !

    I had almost the same thing happen the other day - kept getting a message that my printer was not connected. I went to the printer setup on the printer's panel and the IP address was correct, everything looked as if it should be working. So I just reset my router - figuring that would fix the problem. No go. What I finally ended up doing was resetting my router to factory settings and setting it up anew.
    And that's what worked for me.

    If the printer is connected to a Windows Vista computer, you will need to share it using the steps in this article.
    This article will help you connect to the printer once it is set up.
    Best of luck.
