Connecting to USB printer on Extreme from Windows XP - what worked for me.

See this post which I found here in the discussions but somewhat buried: : http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html
The key difference in the above to what is in the Apple Support listing is that one must insure that the protocol for the port setting is RAW and not LPR. Mine was set to LPR by default (?), and after I changed it, printing from XP worked.
After setting up three Macs in minutes, spending hours on getting XP to work is more evidence of why Macs are superior.

Actually, if you had used Bonjour for Windows, you won't have run into the above problem.
Actually, I would use Bonjour for Windows to resolve the printer name rather than type in the IP address manually. This way, if the IP address of the print does get moved later on, Bonjour can keep track with the changes, so you don't.

  • Problem Connecting to Shared Printer on Leopard from Windows XP

    Hey guys,
    Just installed Leopard yesterday, and I have a Canon PIXMA MP160 printer connected via USB.
    I have set the printer to be Shared, and enabled Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
    However, when I try and connect to the printer from a Windows XP laptop, it says: Access Denied, Unable to Connect.
    I imagine that this is because I would have provide a username / password combo in order to access the network resources on my Leopard machine. I just can't figure out how to send the credentials, or disable the login necessity if needs be.
    If this isn't the problem, or if it cannot be fixed then the alternative is to connect the printer to my router, which shares it via SMB. Now that's fine when I want to connect to it from Windows, but I can't figure out a way to set it up on Leopard.
    The MP160 driver that comes with Leopard isn't marked as "Modern" which, according to the documentation means that it cannot be used to install IP or Windows Shared printers.
    So my question is, to sum up, is there a way to fix the access problem when trying to access a shared printer on Leopard from Windows, and is there any way I can install and use the printer from Leopard while its shared from my Router via SMB?
    Thanks in advance.
    Edit:
    I just thought it would be helpful to say that I'm able to connect and browse through SMB shares from Windows Systems, and I'm able to connect and browse through shared volumes on Leopard from Windows. It's just the printing that's not playing fair.

    I had Bonjour for Windows working on two XP machines before I upgraded to Leopard. After that when the Bonjour printer would not work I deleted it from the XP machines and re-ran the Bonjour Setup App. It can find the printer every time, but it will not finish and will give me an error instead.
    I've also verified that I have Printer Sharing turned on and the printer is specifically set to be shared. I'm out of ideas.
    Has anyone heard reports of Bonjour 1.0.4 not working with Leopard or just being buggy under similar circumstances? If that's not the problem, then I must be missing something. Suggestions welcome.

  • Wake from sleep problem: what worked for me

    My 15" 2.2G late 2007 MBP (OS 10.5.5) started doing the "black screen when you open the lid from sleep" thing last week. Before that, it had always "gotten out of bed" in a good mood.
    I checked the system log and saw the "AppleYukon2" Error but later found it does that every time anyway, even with normal wake-up behavior. That may be a red herring in the troubleshooting path.
    Then I saw something else. We had travelled the weekend prior to the problem showing up and used the computer on the hotel's wireless network. The log showed the MBP was stalling trying to find that now-distant network. I went to System Preferences and deleted that network, and unchecked "Remember Networks."
    That was about noon yesterday. I've put the computer to sleep and closed the lid about a dozen times since then and it's awakened properly every time.
    Offered for you consideration. Your mileage may vary, but it fixed my problem.
    Allan

    Hi fa1con,
    It worked for a while but has slipped back in although the MBP has not been out of the house. However, I've encountered some minor power issues during the last week that might be at play. I plan to have an AASP look at it before the warranty runs out next month.
    The syslogd process started working overtime writing very large logs so it's harder than it was to scour for hints. However, I thinlk I've figured out the root of the log problem so I'll do some more log diving.
    I'm currently back to the old place: sleep the computer and then close the lid and it wakes up fine; close the lid to sleep and it hangs.

  • Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Sorry, but this article is about 4 years old, and was printed based on preliminary information at the time.
    The bottom line here is that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    If it works for you, great.
    You might want to review the Apple Support documents below, which are far more recent than the article you reference:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    It is supported.....
    This is NOT correct. Please do not post false information on the forums.

  • TS1253 I am connected to internet through  modem. How can I use Time Capsule as a wreless harddrive and connection to USB printer

    Can I use a Time Capsule as a part of my network> I am connected to internet through modem and want to use Time capsule as  a wireless harddrive and wireless connection to usb printer. How can I do that? Please help

    This type of setup is not officially supported by Apple.
    It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule this way, but please take a minute to consider a few things that you may not have thought about, as this is...frankly....the worst possible way that you could configure the Time Capsule.
    Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless.  Why? The signal must make a "double hop".
    Hop "one" would be from your Mac to the wireless router, then the signal must make hop "two" to get back to the Time Capsule.
    In addition to doubling the time for backups to occur, this doubles the chances for an error to occur during a backup.
    The Ethernet ports are not enabled at all on the Time Capsule when it is configured this way, so backup over much faster Ethernet is not possible.
    The USB port is enabled, so assuming that the printer is compatible, it could be configured to connect that way. Keep in mind that only printing is supported. If you have an All-in-One device, advanced functions like scan, copy, maintenenance will not be supported.
    So, do you really want to try this?  There are no guarantees here that things will work at all.

  • EPrint won't print web pages from Windows 8 Microsoft Surface tablet

     ePrint won't print web pages from Windows 8 (x64) Microsoft Surface tablet Any ideas?

    Hello JereTanner,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to print web pages from a Surface tablet. What model of printer are you trying to print to? Also, Is there an error, message, etc, when you try to print? Typically, ePrint is used when printing eMails or forwarding documents / pictures to the printers eMail address, is this how you are trying to print the web page? Since this is a Windows 8 Operating System, you may be able to install full feature software and print that way. When I know more about how you are trying to print, what happens when you try and what printer you are using, I will be able to better help. Cheers,

    Hi:
    You have to load the applicable SATA AHCI or RAID driver either by slipstreaming them, or by using the F6 key and installing the driver from a USB floppy disk drive.
    See this guide for how to slipstream the drivers.  Read the intel section and then follow the instructions in the downloadable document to slipstream all of the drivers.

  • HT4437 I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by neither iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Any clue? Thanks!

    I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by either iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Anybody a solution for this?

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

    My ipod ejects itself, immediately after connecting with usb cable, before synchronizing could start. What’s wrong?

    Have you tried plugging the iPod in with a different USB sync cable to verify the issue is not with the cable?  It might not also hurt to connect it to another USB port as well.
    Otherwise, try manually placing the iPod into Disk Mode and then connecting it to your PC.

    I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

  • Snow Leopard Printing Woes - what worked for me

    I found many print problems posted EVERYWHERE from every printer manufacturer and model and many solutions and some worked for some people. None worked for me.
    I have a HP Laserjet 2100M, which is old, but is listed as compatible with SL. I cannot part with it, as it is a true laser printer, not a monochrome, which means when I need to colour separate say a blue and red document, it prints as solid, not grayscale. It has printed 44,820 pages for me over the years, with only laser cartridge replacement as an expense. As well, I cannot find anything but monochrome for a replacement.
    It worked on my old iMac G5 running Leopard, however, when I got my new iMac running Snow Leopard, I got "Printer Offline" message and it would not go online and while some solution ideas got it to print, sometimes, it was only good for one or two jobs and then would stop again, or it would say printing and nothing would print.
    Here is what worked for me:
    I disconnected my printer's usb and power supply, reset printer system.
    Went to Macintosh HD-Library-printers-PPDs-contents-resources and deleted all of the HP Drivers.
    I got my HP 2100 series driver from my old iMac and put that back in the resources folder and emptied trash.
    I shut down my computer.
    Replugged in power to printer.
    Started up computer.
    After fully launched, I connected my USB cable for the printer. I went to add printer and it came up right away and said new software update was available for my printer AND I SAID NO to updating. In selected my driver, and...
    My printer and I have reached a compromise!
    It still says offline, however, everything is printing anyway... this I can live with.
    I also found this link, which I will only try if I encounter any other disruptions

    At some point I printed a Self Test/Configuration page which has I/O Port Status as
    USB STATUS - not ready
    and Appletalk Status - Ready
    which is probably a good clue, however, I have been printing successfully for 15 hours and my hair is starting to grow back.

    The HP document appears to solve your issue. When your hair starts falling out again, use it.

    I have been unsuccessfully trying to extend the wifi of my Time 2T Capsule with an Airport Extreme 2nd Gen. It works for a while and then loses configuration. I have done everything possible, disconnected it, reset it but it keeps failing, what to do?

    What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
    What firmware is the AE?
    Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
    Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
    Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
    I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
    I would do a couple of things..
    1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
    3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
    Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

    Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.
