CUPS not printing to network printer.Printer visible to avahi and cups

Hey. Printing seemed to be working fine last time I checked (which, granted, was a while ago...I don't print that much). I have a networked Canon MG4100 class printer. Avahi sees the printer just fine, as does cups (I can add and modify the printer without any troubles). However when I try to print, it starts printing but then the Cups interface notifies me 'Unable to locate printer "canon.local".'
1. The printer works fine from a windows laptop
2. I reset the printer and the wireless router it's attached to
3. I restarted my laptop
4. Here are the /var/log/cups/error_log (debug level) logs
5. /etc/cups/cupd.conf

8. Oh, and I tried downgrading cups and cups-filters to the previous versions from the beginning of September. Same issue.
What the heck am I missing???
Thanks!

I'll look into that when I get a chance. I'm just using the Gutenprint drivers. They were working fine up until recently...I just don't know at what point because I rarely print! I'm a little leery of adding the printer with a static IP address, because it's not a static IP setup...I know it should stay the same for the most part, but I thought that's why we used Avahi...to get away from having to know the IP address!
Thanks for the input!

Windows 7, 64 bit OS can't print to networked 1300n printer

I have a 1300n printer directly connected to a home network. Seveal computers successfully access and print to this cprinter using OS XP PRO and Windows7 32 bit.
When I downloaded and installed the 64 bit drivers on the new computer and printed a test page the following comes out of the 1300n
A single page with:
PCL XP error
    Subsystem: Kernel
    Error: UnknownProtocol
    Operator: 0x0
    Position: 0
Is there fix available or have I installed an incorrect driver for this printer?

Hi Xiao
I just came across a solution for 1100 and 1200 HP printers I have on the network (on XP machines) and trying to connect with a Windows 7 64bit. It came from a Microsoft forum with credit to one of the HP forums. Give it a try, it worked for me. Good luck!
Control panel then Settings then Add Printer
Choose "Add a local printer". Click on "Create a new port". Use Local Port.
Next dialogue box is "Enter a Port Name."
Type in the path to the printer: \\(computer name)\(printer name).
Then select the proper driver, and print a testpage.
**** Xiao I got \\(computer name)\(printer name) exactly from trying to connect to the Network printers and then went back to adding the printer as a "local printer

Printing via Network USB print server suddenly not working any more

I have always been able to print with my USB
printers connected through a small, pocket-sized Keyspan USB Print server, Model US-4A, very easily and seamlessly, - until the very latest update to Snow Leopard.
This server is connected to my router and the rest of my in-home Mac network by means of an ethernet port, and it has four USB device ports, 1 each for my various printers and a flatbed scanner. It worked well under OS 10.6 until just now.
Now, all of a sudden, though the server hardware can still easily "see" and connect to
the printers, when I actually hit 'PRINT', then the Mac OS
print dialogues are showing some of the printers as "offline." They show up as 'unavailable' in the dialogue where you choose which printer to print to and the print dialogue boxes show the print jobs cused but then report - 'printer offline'
When I bypass the print server - and connect the same
printers directly to the Mac's USB ports, they print fine.
It suits my setup to be able to continue printing via the print server, however, and I am wondering what sort of new issue could now begin fooling the MAC OS into thinking printers are not connected when it has had no trouble with the same print server and exactly the same physical connections previously ?
I've already tried 'deleting' and uninstalling the printers and then reinstalling, and this attempted fix does not work.
Any suggestions here ? Is this a known issue with 10.6.3 ?
What has happened to suddenly bring this about ? Any ideas ?

It appears that 10.6.4 has essentially broken the US-4A usb server. Keyspan's (now Tripp-Lite) response is that the latest driver is for 10.5.x and Snow-Leopard is still not supported. (1 year after 10.6.0 was released to the public). In fact, their response is that they do not even know if they will continue to produce the US-4A. Note that the U2S-2A (2 port USB 2.0) server does not support 10.6 either. Shame on Tripp-Lite for continuing to advertise, and sell a product that does not work with the current version of OS X.

Can not print with networked brother printer on my iMac

I am not sure why but both of my printers on my wired network computers can not communicate with me any longer.
Any suggestions?

I have a very similar situation. Only the hardware changes.
•Brother fax2820 attachced to the iMacG4 via USB which it wired to Linksys wireless router.
•MacBook built-in airport connected to LAN via Linksys wireless router.
Same symptoms - I can find and install the shared usb printer but it won't print.
Can't, of course, use your solution - Linksys router doesn't have a usb port.
So, what next?

Laptop with window 7 won't print to network HP printer

purchased a Toshiba Laptop and cannot get it to print to my HP PSC 750 network printer. I have downloaded the drivers and made sure it was compatiable with that printer. It installed the printer with no problem. It shows "ready" but when I send a test print or any other type of document to it it will go to the que and shows "printing error" When I troubleshoot it shows that there are jobs in the que and needs to be cleared....but when I do that and try another test page I get the same scenario. I have also turned off the firewall to my desktop and tried to print. I have a desktop with XP home and 2 other laptops with XP and all three of them will print to that printer. I contacted the Geek Squad and they don't have a fix either. Is it something with the new Window 7? HELP! I have spent about 10 hours trying to get this printer to work and about have given up!

Many Vista driver are compatible with Windows 7, have you tried installing these? Then, have you tried to make windows search for new drivers? It has even compatible ones, they could work. You can force your windows to search for new drivers even pluggin your printer directly to your pc, once the're installed, you can make the connection procedure to the printer in LAN.
Excuse me if my English is not perfect..

Printer on Network with both Win 7 32 and 64 bit PCs

I'm confused about how I'm supposed to set up my F4180.
I have it directly connected to a printer running Windows 7, 64 bit.
I have 2 other computers on the netwrok running Windows 7, 32 bit.
I have an F4180 directly connected to a PC with Windows 7, 64 bit. I've installed the Windows 7, 64 bit drivers on the directly connected PC and everyting works fine on that computer.
Am I supposed to use the install additional drivers thing and install the Windows 7, 32 bit driver on that PC too so that the Windows 7, 32 bit PCs can properly print?
Or do I install the Windows 7, 32 bit driver on the other PCs themselves?
Whether I install the 32 bit drivers on the 32 bit PCs or not, it doesn't seem to matter. Both of the printers do print fine, but when I click on customize your printer and then preferences, I get a windows protection fault error. So, from the remote PCs, I can't change the print quality and that kind of things.
What's the right way to be doing this all?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK, the solution was written for the case of sharing a printer from a 64 bit machine to a 32 bit machine, so the instructions may have been confusing for your case. Please do the following: on your 64 bit Windows 7 computer click Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then click on Windows Update and then select HP for the manufacturer and HP Laserjet p2050 series PCL6, Next, Next, Next, Next, Finish.

HT4993 If my iphone 5c is locked under sprint and i do not want that network.How can i unlock it and change?

So i bought this iphone 5c off of amazon and it locked under sprint and i dont want to use that network and i do not know how to unlock it and i want to soo what should i do

You bought the wrong phone. Sprint will normally only unlock for existing customers, so it's highly unlikely that you will be able to get that iPhone unlocked. Return it to the seller and buy an iPhone that is either locked to the network you wish to use, or is officially unlocked.
Note that many private sellers and unauthorized dealers lie about the unlock status, so you need to proceed with extreme caution. You may well end up with a phone that's locked to someone else's Apple ID, quite possibly stolen, and hence useless to you. I'd strongly suggest you buy your iPhone only from an authoried reseller, of which none of Amazon's affiliates are.
Regards.

Does this mean that I have to upgrade my plan to the 4G fleix cap to receive a cellular compatibility?
Or do I have to purchase a locked in contract with them for this issue to be resovled?

CUPS can't locate network printer

I don't know if this is a network issue, or a PKGBUILD issue.
I have a Brother printer that is not one of the ones for which there is an AUR package already. So I just copied a PKGBUILD and .install from a similar model's AUR package. Here they are:

So, then I open up the CUPS web interface and voila, I see MFCJ435W ready to go! So, I print a test page and it fails with "Unable to locate printer "BRN0080928DFDD8.local"."
I have no idea what to do to diagnose and fix my problem. Help?

Do you have a mdns service configured? I am not sure if this is related, but zeroconf/avahi's .local domains get resolved by a multicast dns infrastructure:

Cups / HP Laserjet 4200 network printer

Cups can get on my nerves bigtime.
at first, I just installed cups, and soffice (libreoffice) would , in the 'print dialog' show me a bunch of network printers it found, but when i printed to any of them,
the job would just stick to 'in process' in the cups webinterface, even though the printer was idle.
I then installed hplip 3.11.1-1, hpoj 0.91-15, avahi and a whole bunch of other packages:

Add to that the fact that even though I go to localhost:631 or 127.0.0.1:631, cups generates links to my external ip, which is the interface cups doesn't listen on.

those errors are from *before* I installed avahi, after installing avahi I can't even select the printer :x

a bit more info: after a reboot i somehow magically see the printers again (both in the webinterface and in soffice), but when I send it a print job, I notice the printer status is
Idle - "Connecting to printer..."
so maybe this is some kind of networking problem? weirdly enough location is set to "location unknown" so I cannot do a ping test.
and the only errors in the logfile are "SSL shutdown failed: Error in the push function" (probably because of using https on the webinterface), so I'm clueless

Trouble connecting iMac to wireless networked HP printer -- printer not seen in

HP Photosmart Premium 410
Operating System: OS X 10.9
I am trying to connect a new Mac with OSX 10.9.5 to an HP Photosmart Premium c410, which is on an existing home wireless network and functions properly with other (Windows) computers in the house. I am following online instructions to enter the Apple System Preferences>Printers and Scanners>+ menu in order to add the printer, but the printer is not visible. If I use the "print sheet," the HP printer shows as a grayed out option and a message that the printer has been offline for more than a month. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Always try to establish a USB connection with the printer first, then try the wireless option.

Need help connecting to network printer using xfce and cups

Hello
please can someone assist me with setting up a printer.
I am running arch and xfce desktop.
I have an Epson Stylus Photo R800 USB printer connected to a wireless Belkin all-in-one Print Server.
I do not know how to connect to this printer.
I am not conversant in CUPS or network printing and would very much like to use the printer.
My arch box is connected through cable to a wireless router.
The print server is connected to the wireless router and the router confirms the print server is attached to the network.
The print server IP address is 192.168.0.100.
The printer server has a web interface which I used to set wireless and TCP settings. I should say that I went into this interface and configured the print server which is totally usable and fine from a Vista laptop using wireless - vista laptop "sees" the print server and prints over wireless, therefore I know the server and printer are working together and all the print server settings are fine. I dont know how Vista connects, it just does!
I tried installing gutenprint and foomatic, went into the CUPS server page (localhost:631) and found my printer but I'm not sure if my connection string (socket://192.168.0.100:9100) is correct. I've tried several values and several Epson drivers from the CUPS web interface, all to no avail. I just get this message:
bash-3.2# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: Epson
device for Epson: socket://192.168.0.100:9100
Epson accepting requests since Sat 26 Jul 2008 22:53:35 BST
printer Epson now printing Epson-0. enabled since Sat 26 Jul 2008 22:53:35 BST
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
I have no desire to be a CUPS expert nor a networking expert - I was rather hoping someone could guide me through the process, I have tried reading web links (google) but do not understand various pages and instructions.

EDIT:
SOLVED!
the problem was that gutenprint needed to be installed.
I looked at the rastertops file in /usr/lib/cups/filter and it was very small, handfull of lines, but refered to gutenprint (whatever that is).
"pacman -Q gutenprint" revealed it was not installed.
All is fine now.
GREAT!

Error: EPrint not Enabled, Also: Printer not connected to Network

I have been using this printer and EFax until recently when EFax wont work. I am connected to Network, I can use printer for printing from laptop, IPAD and Iphone. Have good connection. When I attempt to send EFAX, I get "Your printer is not connected to Network" Then I am told to enable EPrint, IT IS enabled. Printer is great, EFax wont work.

This reply may be late for this user, but it might be helpful for any current users.
I managed to change the modem's IP address to match that of the printer. In my case the printer worked fine wirelessly until I moved to a new place and installed a new modem. Here is what I did to solve the problem:
1. At the printer, click on the wireless button, wireless settings, print network configuration page. This will print a page with the printer's IP address (in my case: 192.168.0.13)
2. I accessed my modem via the internet browser, typing 192.168.1.1 (this is one of the default addresses (192.168.0.1 is also common). Default user and password is admin (usually). There I changed the modem's IP address to 192.168.0.1 and the range to start at 192.168.0.13 (my printer's IP address).
3. I saved the settings (the modem will reboot and you will be offline, it may take some 20 seconds before the modem is visible again).
4. Reconnect to the modem and check if internet is still working. Then try to install the printer again.
This worked for me after I read several other postings.
Good luck!
