Determining IP address of SMC print server

I have three OS X Macs and one Windows XP PC in my house and I'm trying to get an SMC print server (SMC2621W-U) working with my Samsung ML-1210 printer so I can hide the printer away in a closet. I need the server's IP address to access its web interface.
The server's manual says: "You can use your DHCP server, if I have one, to determine the IP address allocated to the Wireless Print Server". Unfortunately I have little idea what that is or how I'd find it. Is it a part of my router (Linksys WRT54G)? Is that on my ISP's side of things? Is there any other way to determine my print server's IP address? The server is hooked up to the router and the printer as instructed in the manual.
ps: SMC has a Windows utility which is supposed to find the print server on the network and give you it's IP, but unfortunately the installer I downloaded keeps crashing. I also tried holding down the Diagnostic button to print a test page, but while the printer's data light flashes, nothing prints.
I'd be grateful for any tips/suggestions/info/work-arounds. Thanks!!

Update: I found the print server web setup page by trial and error. It says it is running, and under "printer info" it had the correct model name for my printer. However when I send print jobs or try to print a test page, the data light on the printer still lights up but nothing else happens. Anyone have any idea why this is so? Is it possible that the ML-1210 just isn't compatible with this print server?

  • Fixed IP address for local printer server?

    I have five computers sharing (LAN) one printer. The computer connected to the local printer, at present, the IP address changes depending which computer first start in the morning. In other words, today its 192.168.0.102 and tomorrow 192.168.0.105, etc. How to config the printer server to maintain a fixed IP?

    just to be polite:
    - your are a mod
    - you did more than 2k posts
    - you ask such a question?
    is the print server you are talking about the computer with the local printer attached? then address the computer with a fixed ip.
    if it is attached to a print server, then you have to configure the print server. either by web interface or the way it has to be configured.
    almost every router can be configured to assign fixed ips to computers, i.e. by the mac address.
    otherwise provide more information.

  • Resolution - Printing HP LaserJet & Linksys Wireless Print Server WPS54GU2

    Hello Guys:
    After trying to figure out for 10 days and calling HP, Applet and Linksys support, i finally am able to print to my printer.
    I have iMac running Tiger 10.4.8. I have a HP LaserJet 1012 Printer connected in a USB Port to the Wireless Print Server WPS54GU2. This is what I did to get it working.
    First install the following drivers:
    1) Go to http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/ and download hpijs-foomatic-2.0.2.ppc.dmg and espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg file. Install hpijs first and espgs second.
    2) After that Go to Server Preferences, Double click on Print/Fax.
    3) Click on the "+" sign, select Line Printer Daemon - LPD
    4) In the Address field, enter the IP address of your print server.
    5) In the Queue name (This is very important). I used L2 for USB. You can try P1, L1 as well. Not sure how you have connected to the print server. For me L2 worked. I had tried using L1 and P1 and it didn't work for me.
    6) The Name field should automatically be populated.
    7) In the Print Using, select HP and then select "HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs" as the printer or whatever driver you have for your printer.
    8) Click on Add
    And now open up text edit or something and you should be able to print.
    let me know if there are any questions.

    Try Repairing permissions (Disk Utility). Then restart, then add again.
    What do you mean by the printer doesn't show up - the driver (print using:)?
    You can try the generic HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver that comes in OS X.

  • How to print to Canon irC5051 with Print Server?

    [edit] I am using 10.7.5 not 10.6.8 sorry [\edit]
    My company recently upgraded to Canon Image Runner C5051 units.
    They added print servers with authentication for follow me printing (print at any machine around the building by authenticating).
    I have read tons of discussions, forums and google articles on how to get image runners to print with os x - yet to no avail.
    I have downloaded both the recent drivers from canon (the PS and URII) updates.
    I can only seem to connect to the printer using the "Windows" domain feature in the add printer settings.
    The Windows URL is \\printARL\ARLC-Secure.
    I can ping the \\printARL and retrieve the IP address.  But I cannot do the same with the full path (\\printARL\ARLC-Secure)
    Trying to LDP print to the printARL ip does not work.  I have no way of figuring out the full path ip address of the print server.
    On my windows computer it shows "null" in the port/ip address on the PORTs tab.
    So with URII I cannot identify the LDP ip address to use so if I connect via the windows domain it keeps returning error -50.
    I guess this makes sense because its not LDP.
    Using the windows search to connect and applying the Canon 5051 PS driver it seems to function.
    It connects, allows to me authenticate, moves the file to the print server, and shows up at the printer.
    But when I print, it does nothing.  No output.  ...sometimes it even makes the sound like it is printing, but then no dice.
    If I try and Generic PS or PCL driver, it sends the document.
    But when I print, it seems to produce a paper format error (thinks it LGL)
    So if you force the printer to print to LTR, it spits out reems of giberish.
    There must be something I am missing.

    Sorry for missing your post. I don't check the 10.6 forums too often.
    Reading your post it sounds like your are using uniFLOW, which is the follow-me printing app. So if you want to continue using this with the Mac there are a few things to note.
    1. The Mac UFR2 driver wants to communicate directly with the copier. With print jobs being routed via the Windows print server (uniFLOW secure input queue) there is no chance of there being two-way communication and this often causes the -50 error you mention.
    The solution is to use the Canon PPD, but this would require the ADV C50xx to have the optional Postscript kit. And given the gibberish output you mention it would seem that this kit was not purchased. So I would be talking to the Canon rep. If they had scoped your business correctly and saw the Mac/s then the PS kit should have been ordered.
    2. You cannot ping the printer queue on the Windows server. So pinging \\printARL\ARLC-Secure won't work as you have found. But you can ping the Windows server, which you did and this worked. And, your issue is not due to an inability to connect to the Windows queue. It is a driver issue.
    3. Using the PS driver appears to work. Lets you authentice but does not print. This is due to the lack of the Postscript kit in the copier.
    4. Re the Generic PS, no PS kit means no printing. And the same goes for PCL.
    So, in summary. The UFR2 driver is not designed to print via a Windows server. For your setup, the Postscript kit in the copier would solve your issue.

  • Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

    I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
    Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
    When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
    I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
    Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
    "the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
    and
    "the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
    The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
    Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
    Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
    Thank you

    1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
    2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
    3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
    If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
    FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
    Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
    You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

  • Can't print from Mac to DeskJet D1530 over Linksys print server

    The print job and printer both hang when trying to print to the DeskJet D1530.
    I am using the drivers downloaded directly from HP and specifically for Snow Leopard.
    When connected directly via USB, the printer installs itself and prints reliably.
    However, this is a shared printer. The Mac has a wireless-G connection to a Linksys router, the router is connected to a Linksys print server via Ethernet. Then the printer is connected via USB to the print server.
    I have 2 Windows laptops that print reliably via this configuration.
    With the Mac, I configured it to use LPR over the IP address of the print server. It seems to connect to the print server and appears to be communicating with the printer. It even reports the ink levels in the cartridges. But when a print job is sent to the printer, the print status reports "Sending data file (0 bytes)" and the job just hangs unless a "cancel -a" is sent via terminal. It also prevents any other system from printing unless the printer and the print server are power cycled. I have occasionally coaxed a job out of the printer after the print server is power-cycled, however from the Mac's printer status, the job never completes and any subsequent print jobs will hang. I have to reboot the Mac to completely clear the print queue.
    I have look online for instructions on configuring the printer, but all of them so far have yielded the same result.
    This is not exactly an exotic setup, and it works with Windows systems. What am I doing wrong?

    It usually comes as a surprise to Windows users that there are two kinds of print drivers on OS X. The older type are called monolithic drivers because they have everything in one package - postscript interpreter and communication device (USB) driver. With this type, the manufacturer gets to include exactly the components needed for the printer. The driver you got from HP is this type, and it is limited to USB Only.
    To do network printing to a USB printer, you need a driver that allows more than just USB direct connection. You need a CUPS driver. One CUPS driver is Gutenprint, included in OS X by Apple. It may not include your model yet.
    Get updated Gutenprint or hpijs drivers from:
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx
    or a commercial CUPS driver, printfab from:

  • Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

    I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
    Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
    I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
    Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
    Thank You,
    mholmau

    Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
    For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
    But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
    Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
    There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
    Hope this helps.

  • Printing a PDF document from a network printer hosted on Windows Print Server

    Hi
    We have a use case where a XFA form needs to be merged with the XML file and later be printed on a printer hosted on Windows Print Server.
    While I know the first part of merging the template with the data file, I am stuggling to get my document printed.
    Here are the options that I have already tried -
    1) Used the generatePrintedOutput to render a flat PDF and convert it into a PS format.
    2) The output of the above service was input to the "sendToPrinter" service with following configuration settings
        Input document     : <Document variable referencing to the output of the GeneratePrintedOutput service>
        Printer Protocol     : DirectIP
        Server URI            : \\ <IP address of the Print Server>     NOTE: The Print Server is hosted on a different domain & is a Windows Server
        Printer Name        : \\ <IP address of the Print Server>\<name of the printer>
    Some more information about our LC servers -
    OS -> Unix
    Application Server -> JBoss
    When I used these settings and invoked the process, I got the following exception -
    2011-03-07 11:13:39,047 ERROR [com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException] ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>.

    Therefore I tried to check if I am able to Ping the Printer Server from my Livecycle Server and found that the ping was successful.
    Next - I changed the Printer Protocol from DirectIP to SharedPrinter keeping the rest of the settings same. In this case - when I invoke the process, it did not throw any error , but it did not print any document as well.
    Any suggestion where I have gone wrong? Pls let me know if you would need more information to help me resolve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Priyank

    Well I found the answer......
    I had to do the two steps below -
    1) Go to Admin UI, "Trust Store Management -> User & Password Credentials" and add a profile for my Printer server with login ID and password which can access the printer.
    So in the "User & Password Crendentails" page, I click on "add" and fill the following values
    Profile : \\ <IP address of the print server> ....... (It is important that you write the name correctly..for example " \\10.10.234.212"
    USername : <user id who has access to the printer>
    Password  : <password for that user Id>
    2) In the sendToPrinter service, I used CIFS as the protocol and I have the proper Server URI as below
      \\10.10.234.212\<printername>
    And it worked ! .....

  • How to connect to Linksys Wireless Print Server (WPS54GU2) from WIndows 7

    I tried the Print Server Utility that was loaded from the WPS54GU2 user install disk. Ended up with an AddPort error.
    Went ahead and created local printer for printer I was trying to get to (Epson Color Stylus 400). Did a "Printer Properties" on the printer after it is was created and clicked on the "Port" tab. Clicked on the "Add Port" button and selected "Standard TCP/IP Port" from list. Clicked on "New Port" . Wizard came up and clicked "Next" on this screen. I typed in the IP address of my Print Server (with no Port Name) and let it search for a while and it eventually failed. A screen came up requesting "additional port information" so I clicked on the "Custom" button and then clicked on the"Settings" button. Here I typed in the correct port name (which in my case was like LKxxxxxx where the x's are numerics). The IP address is already filed in. I checked the LPR button and made up a Queue Name and typed it into the Queue Name text box.
    After clicking OK I tried printing to the printer and everything seemed to work correctly.

    Corleone
    I have the same issue as I have a new Windows 7 machine that is hardwired to my Linksys WPS54G.  This is my main office PC and I have other computers throughout the house that are connected wirelessly to the WPS54G.  I've tried to create a new port for printing based on the posts from other users but it still won't work.  I've run the Linksys configuration and my PC sees the printer server.  Am I missing a step?
    Here is what I've done
    Go to ports
    Add new port
    Standard TCP/IP Port 
    Click new port (Wizard comes up)
    Enter printer name and IP address ( I enter my IP address for the Print Server 192.168.1.x)- Port name is same as IP Address (does this matter?)
    Go to custom settings and set for LPR with Queue name of LP1 (or should it be L1?)
    LPR Byte count box checked 
    Click next and finish
    Do I need to restart my computer?
    What am I missing

  • Laserjet 5P to wireless print server

    I have Laserjet 5P. I want to connect to this wirelessly from my new HP laptop. Wireless print server (e.g. Netgear WGPS606) has only USB or ethernet sockets. Is it possible to connect 5P via an adaptor? Or is parallel port connection incompatible? I don't mind if print speed is reduced, just so long as I can make the connection. Please help.

    I too had this problem. I'm posting this because the technique described didn't work for me. This may help someone else. I could login to the print server's admin page through Safari using its IP address. However, I could not get a straight answer from Linksys "we don't get trained on Mac" on how to make it print. Here is what I did:
    Problem: difficulty printing from an iMac (wireless Airport) to a USB printer connected to a Linksys WPS54G v2.0 print server:
    Under the Apple Menu, go to System Preferences>Print & Fax
    Click + to add a new printer
    Select IP from the top list of printer types
    Under Protocol select Internet Printing Protocol - IPP
    Under Address type in the IP address of the print server (e.g. 192.168.1.12)
    Under Queue - leave blank
    Under name - type in IP address of the print server (if not already filled in)
    Under Location - leave blank
    Under Print Using - select "select a driver to use" and choose the make and model of the printer connected to the print server.
    Click Add
    The printer should now be visible in the Print & Fax dialog box on the left hand side. Now test it by opening an application like TextEdit, type something and hit print. If the pages come out with little text or blank, you've got the wrong driver.
    This worked for me, however I still don't have the functionality I had with printing from my PC based laptop (i.e. duplex, draft, normal, best, etc, B&w only). I'll probably find a way to do this later. For now I can at least be productive at work again.
    Cheers,

  • Help needed to setup to Network Print Server

    Hi,
    I am trying to configure the following to print from my Mac:
    D-Link DP-301U USB print server
    HP Color LaserJet 3500
    MacBook Core Duo OS X 10.4.8
    Very little information is available on both D-Link and HP website.
    The D-Link installation guide says to install via AppleTalk.
    AppleTalk has been activated on my AirPort as well as on the Web configuration of Print Server. However I cannot see any printer on adding a printer.
    In the Add Printer Browser, I can see my print server on Bonjour. When selected, I am supposed to choose my HP printer, but it is no on the HP printer list.
    Only Generic PostScript can be selected, however when printing, it prints our garbage.

    A long time ago, I worked on a print spooler and was lent a JetDirect
    box from HP to test with. A JetDirect card is in your LaserJet, I believe.
    (One of the protocols it supported was localtalk, BTW). I think the
    d-link isn't forwarding your localtalk packets. Anyway, one of the
    things I remember is that the JetDirect spoke PCL, so that's another
    consideration a driver has to deal with. The garbage you're seeing
    is raw postscript. It needs to be rasterized and translated to PCL.
    Please bear with me, my experience is very old, and there are gaps
    in my knowledge. But I think this is do-able. I think the first step is
    to add the printer directly by clicking here,
    The location of the printer should be the address of the print server
    (or canonical name if you're ever going to change addresses). The
    device should be appsocket/jetdirect. The device uri should be
    socket://nameoripaddressofdevice. The make should be HP and
    the model/driver should be one of the Laserjet series, gimp-print.
    I don't know which one, my experience ended around Laserjet 5, and
    so do the drivers! But fundamentally they have to do the same thing.
    They use the gimp-print package to rasterize the postscript and
    encapsulate it into PCL. So I would bet the LaserJet 6 driver will work.
    I'm sure everything posted here is correct, and that my experience
    is too old and I don't know enough to know why this won't work,
    but it's not a lot of effort, and if I were you I'd give it a try.

  • Print Server WPS54GU2 and Widows 7, x64

    I am trying to use my WPS54GU2 print server with Windows 7, x64. I get the following error: err=1805 AddMonitor Fail
    Need any help available!

    Is your print server already configured?
    If it is already configured and working on other computers then you just need to add the printer port on Windows 7.
    If you know the IP address of the print server then follow  this link to add printer port on Windows 7 computer.

  • Has anyone got a belkin f1up0002uk print server working with OS X 10.4.10

    I've got an HP all-in-one printer and want to share it wirelessly with my Macs and PCs. I've got a netgear wireless router/access point. I've just bought a belkin print server (model # f1up0002uk) but this appears to be windows only compatible.
    Before opening the belkin box I did a search on the internet - I couldn't find anything specific on this model of router working with a Mac.... however, from my research I get the feeling it should be possible to get it working on a Mac through IP printing.
    Has anyone used this print server with a Mac and got it working? Failing that, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Greg,
    Thanks for your response. It turns out that my original fears were unfounded.
    Installing the print server was very straight foward and after getting it working on one of my XP boxes I was able to install it on my MacBook using *Print & Fax* ---> *IP Printer* ---> Protocol ---> _Line Printer Daemon - LPD_ ---> Address ---> _Belkin Print Server IP Address_.
    I checked to see if OS X provided a driver for my all-in-one printer (HP PSC 2175) and the following page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057 said there was one but it wasn't available in my printer pull down list. Further research through HP revealed that other drivers could be used and fortunately there were Gimp-Print 5.0.0 beta 2's available so I used the HP 500C driver.
    I also had to reserve the IP address of the print server on my wireless (Netgear) router but I left DHCP on for the rest of my devices.
    The end result is that the Belkin Print Server now works across my mixed Mac and PC network. Unfortunately I'm not able to use the scanner through my Macs but this isn't an issue as my priority was to share printing. I should also mention that the Belkin manual also includes instructions for Unix/Linux and OS X, although this is not stated on the box.

  • Print Server WPS54G

    Successfully connected my HP930C to my network but PC can't talk to it.  Get an error -132.  Is the PS firmware not compatible with Windows 7??
    Thanks

    Whats the model number of your Router?
    Hardwired the Print Server to your Router, login to the setup page of your router and under the DHCP Client table list your will find the IP address of your Print Server... Using that IP address you can try to login to the setup page of Print Server...
    Once login to the setup page of Print Server, Input the wireless settings (SSID, Security Key) on it and click on Save Settings, then assign a Static IP to the Print Server and click on Save Settings..
