Do not print over the network through XP

Hi! I purchased the printer. Establish normal. On the local machine prints without problems. The computer has XP SP3. On all computers installed in the office, too XP SP3. All are in the same workgroup. There is a problem, share the printer. I add it to the other computer (in any). He put the driver are tightened correctly. But when you print out a test page with an error message: The test page is printed correctly, open the Help topic. And when you print any document simply the task without error stupidly it goes into a queue and immediately leaves the queue. C computer that is running Windows 7 is printed without any problems! Please help !!!!

Airport won't print over the network

I have a basic HP Photosmart C4200 series printer. It works fine when I plug it directly into my computer but when I plug it into the router, it won't print and this message comes up : "Unable to read response header - short read"
When I delete/add the printer from Preferences, it finds the printer and establishes connection but when I try to print over the network, it gives me that error message.
A weird thing I found was that when connected to the airport, my printer shows up under the iDisks tab under the Airport Utilities instead of being in the Printers tab...

Welcome to the discussions!
A number of entry level printers are designed so that they will only work when they are connected directly to a computer, so that may possibly explain your problem.
To verify, you can work your way through Apple's troubleshooting guide to see if this is the case. If you've completed all the steps and still can't print, I think you have your answer.

Access Denied error when trying to print over the network

I just upgraded my Internet service and leased a new modem. My laptop is connected to the network and is able to browse the Internet. I have file and printer shared tuned on on both the desktop and the laptop. The printer is listed on my laptop, but I cannot print over the network to my HP PSC 1401 All In One. I get an Access Denied error even though the printer should still be connected to the network.

Before I had Mavericks I was able to print over the network to a Windows PC. Now I receive the message, "connection refused." Any ideas?

Before I upgraded to Mavericks, I was able to print over the network to a printer attached to a Windows PC. Now, I receive the message, "connection refused." any ideas as to why this may be and what I can do about it would be appreciated.

I had reconfigured all of the settings the same as in the previous OS X. The only thing I can think of that may be causing this is that the printer is an older Canon Pixma iP4300 and the Canon site doesn't have a driver for the new OS X. The Canon site said that the new OS X may supply the driver. Is there any one with the same experience as mine?

What does it mean if I get blank text messages from someone but they are not coming from number they appear and disappear they are not coming over the network also emails have been moved around, has my phone been hacked?

I Have been getting blank texts from a number, but the person who owns the niumber is not sending them, they appear then disappear, they are not coming over the network, they come even though number has been black listed, also emails have been moved, I believe by someone who is cyberstalking me but don't know how to prove it, what can I do ?

Hi,
When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
I would contact Apple Support and check with them. (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

Unable to print to USB printer over the network

Hi all,
I have an iMac and an Macbook Air, both running 10.6.4, and I've got an HP LaserJet 1200 printer connected to the iMac by USB. Both machines are on my home wireless network (Linksys, FWIW).
I seem to be unable to print to the LaserJet over the network from my Air. I've tried all manner of permutations of printer setup on the Air: IPP/LPD/HP JetDirect; entering the hostname (*.local) and the IP address of the host; leaving the queue blank and not; and leaving "Print Using" as generic vs selecting the LaserJet drivers. The printers appear in the "Default" Add Printer menu as Bonjour Shared, but this doesn't seem to work either.
Following other threads, I've tooled around with CUPS (resetting the configuration file, etc.), with no success. The other threads I've found on the subject seem to be more specifically addressed to folks trying to use an AirPort.
Any suggestions for what to try next?

In that case, let me elaborate on what happens when I try to set up the printer via Bonjour, in case there are any clues in the behavior that I'm seeing. The printer seems to appear twice in the "Default" pane, with Kind as 'Bonjour Shared' and Printer Names as follows:
HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname)
HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname) @ (hostname)
Selecting the first, it displays "Gathering printer information..." for a few minutes, then strikes out, suggesting Generic PostScript Printer rather than the correct driver. Whether I stick with that or select the correct driver manually and then try to print, it hangs on 'Copying print data..." (in the print queue).
Selecting the second, it gathers printer information only for a second or two before settling on Generic PostScript Printer. If I stick with Generic PostScript Printer, it hangs on 'Connected to printer...' but if I select the correct driver, it hangs on 'Copying print data...' again.

Remote Downlevel Document - printing over the network

I have a PSC (Printer Scanner Copier) HP F380 connected to a windows pc in my network.
I'm trying to print trough the network over Airport.
I can add the printer (it's found under the WINDOWS TAB when I'm adding the printer) and I sucessufuly login using the windows usr/pass ... (I have the correct permissions set in the printer).
The thing is all the documents I sent from my mac (Leopard) are showing up in windows as REMOTE DOWNLEVEL DOCUMENT, and tough they have the right size (it's not 0kb), they never print.
I tried desabling bidirectional support as I read on the web, but it was no help.
Any ideas ? Thanks in advance,
Felipe, Brazil.

When it finds the drive automatically what driver name is displayed? That's the one you look for. If the PC printer is properly shared, then you should see a list of shared printers. Select the shared printer and the driver should be found. If it isn't, then select the one that was used when the printer was directly connected to your Mac.
If that doesn't help then see: iFelix's Technical Pages for XP and the Mac.

Can you share a USB hard drive over the network through an Airport Express?

After asking a few individuals at my local Apple Store, I have been consistantly told that I can plug in a usb hard drive into the bottom of my airport express and share it over the network.
However, after making sure my airport express has the latest firmware (6.3) and even donwloading and installing the airport disk utility I still am not having any luck getting my HFS (journaled) usb 2.0 hard drive to be visible on the network.
I have also noticed that when following the instructions on this apple support document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AirportUtility/5.1/en/ap2108.html) that when I get to step 3, the option to click disks is grayed out. I assume this supports my theory that the airport express won't share hard drives, can anyone confirm?
Am I doing something wrong? Or were the reps at my store mistaken and the only hardware that can share a hard drive is the airport extreme not express?
Thanks

Thanks for the swift reply.
Continuing my investigation I started to come to the conclusion you just mentioned. I am surprised none of the staff at my store realized this. However, at least I know now.
The basis for me looking to this is... With leopard on the eve of its release, I wanted to get a large network accessible storage solution that would allow my wife's and I's Macbook pros to use time machine on the network drive when we were at home. Since we rarely use our laptops while sitting at a desk connected to an external drive, I figured this would be a great idea and started to look into various NAS solutions.
Surprisingly, most generic (netgear, western digital) network drives require you use proprietary software to connect to them, and are only compatible with windows xp. After seeing the options the airport extreme opens up in terms of network storage I figured it would be the best bet.
Do you have any other suggestions besides getting an airport extreme? I would rather not have to buy a full blown mac that I have to leave on 24/7 to share the drives. Or do you see any possible pitfalls to this idea? Such as, would time machine forget to use the network drive after a while since it wouldn't always be available to it when away from home?

Hp 1320n will not connect over the network

Hi,
I'm trying to get my macbook pro to with 10.6.8 to connect to my HP 1320n printer through the network. It works fine when I have it connected directly via USB. I'm trying to get it to work through the network. I have the printer connected to the router and My macbook pro is using wireless. It can detect it with bonjour but when I try to to print it says trying to connect then can't. I tried setting it up with the IP address that the printer has but it can't connect to it either. I got the printer address by pressing the green button on the back of it. Also is there anyway to reset the printer? it has an old host name which I can;t figure out how to change. I tried holding the green button in the back for 3 sec. I also tried turning it off and then back on while holding the green 'GO' button on the top, both failed to reset anything.
ultimatily I'm trying to get my two 1320n printers work work with my 2 computers in the office. My other is an imac with the latest version of software.
Any help is appreciated.

try making certain that you have the latest drivers installed, which you can caget fron HP. After downloading do to system prefs>>print/fax. hightlight the HO1320n (use the - key). then use the add 9+) key ang select the HP1320n icon to add the nem printer. Set the HP as your your default printer. When you go to print for the first time, make sure that the selected printed is the the HP1320. It should go. Sometimes it need to be re-created when there are multiples.
Good luck and hope this helps

HP C6180 All in One Not Printing on the Network

I have 3 wireless laptops and an HP C6180 on a wireless network. This week all 3 computers had issues intermittently trying to print. The print job would go to the que, but then it would just be an error and not print. Now today, none of the laptops have been able to print. I tried to connect to the wireless network with the printer an it did find the wifi sometimes and did not other times. (Oh, and it's not about it being too far away, they were right next to eachother). I actually plugged an ethernet cord into it and it did the same thing. So, I assume there may be an issue with the wireless, but I can't print when is wired with an ethernet cable either. I am completely stumped. Been working on this issue for about 5 hours now, and figured I would just post it here. If anyone has any idea what this could be, please let me know. Also, 2 computers are Vista, 1 is XP. No changes have been made to any of them lately.

If you can connect with an Ethernet cable, do so and turn off the wireless function of your printer. Only have one connection method live at any one time or things will get very confusing.
OK, once you choose your connection method, it will be best if you can set a static IP address for the printer (outside the DHCP range).
Need help? Tell me about your router.

Problems printing over the network?

Hello All,
I recently purchased a new MAC and I am trying to get my printer configured. I have a Canon IP6600D printer connected to a Linksys Wireless G Print Server. I downloaded the appropriate software from Canon to install my printer, which works when I have it connected via USB. However, when I try to install the printer as a network printer the MAC does not recognize the printer as a valid device. I try to add the printer as a Generic PostScript Printer; however, it still doesn't print at all.
I've tried enabling AppleTalk on the wireless print server, but still I get nothing. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much!!!

Hello Phil,
The Canon driver cannot be used this way. It is designed for USB connection only. To get the iP6600D working for your environment, you need a product like Printfab. Check out their web site (www.printfab.net)

Paul

SL can't print over the network to Epson AcuLaser CX11NF

I create a bonjour print queue in snow leopard to the Epson AcuLaser CX11NF and it fails to print with with Yellow Triangle Unable to connect ot printer; will try in 30 seconds
Then I get the following error
/Library/Printers/EPSON/LaserPrinter/GD2/filter/pdftoescpage.app/Contents/MacOS/ pdftoescpage failed
On the same network with another MAC running OS X 10.5.x it an print no trouble. Also if I connect to the 10.5.x shared printer I can print from SL.
I just updated to 10.6.1 and it didn't fix a thing.
I can print if I directly connect via a USB cable to the printer.
Why is printing so broken in SL, did they ship it before they completed development and testing ?

This may or may not be of help to Snow Leopard users, but printing to my CX11NF via the USB port on my Airport Extreme (the first n version, not the current one) is problematic but workable from both my Dual G5 and my wife's 15 inch MacBook Pro (late 2008), both running Leopard. There were no issues with Tiger, but Leopard introduced an incompatibility with Epson Status Monitor3. ESM3 crashes or freezes after any print job (or queue of print jobs), and this usually results in having to restart either the Mac or the Airport Extreme. I've found that manually quitting the Epson AL-CX11 driver, then quitting or, more often, force quitting the ESM3 after a print job allows subsequent printing without having to restart. (I do this using Dock menus.) The workaround isn't 100 percent successful, but it comes reasonably close. As this printer has been discontinued for a couple years now, Epson is extremely unlikely to update drivers for it. So far, I'm reluctant to upgrade my wife's MBP to Snow Leopard, as there's no way to know in advance if it will defeat the workaround. If anyone using Snow Leopard has success printing through an Airport Extreme's USB port to the CX11NF, please post it here.

Cannot find my printer over the network

Hi,
I've been using my printer (HP Photosmart C6100 All-in-one) for some time... till today. I tried to print one document and got an error, that printer cannot be found. System and printer restart - no effects. I removed the printer under system prefs, reset printing module and tried to add the printer - no printer found. Then I tried to add the printer manually using IP address - it was found as Universal PS Printer and test page was printed correctly, but that does not solve an issue as scanning and faxing do not work, moreover I loose many settings like HP paper selection, etc. Next - I removed HP software - no effects as well. Installed 2.5.2 HP package from Apple - did not help to.
I've run out of ideas.... Please help.
Kal

Tried everything and... as the result I cannot open Printer settings in Mac Preferences. When I try to open it I got Beach Ball and Preferences process being stuck.
What should I do? I cannot print, scan, fax, now I cannot even choose another printer or configure anything.
Should I reinstall my system then?????
Please help.

HP 932C PRINTER DOES NOT WORK OVER A NETWORK WITH TWO DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS.

I have a 932c HP printer connected via USB to a Windows XP desktop computer (Dell E520), which is part of a home network.
I also have an HP Pavilion dv5 notebook, running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, connected to the same network. This notebook can find the printer over the network. However, when I try to capture the 932c printer, the following dialog box appears:
"The server for the `hp deskjet 930c series` printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipmente manufacturer for the correct printer driver."
When I click OK, another dialog box appears:
"The file `*.INF`on (Unknown) is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK."
However, I can't find any workable *.inf file in the HP notebook Hard drive (both partitions).
I have already tried to download the driver from the HP website, but it says that Windows Vista already has the driver for such printer! Well, now I'm stucked!
I'd like to point out that the printer works fine if I plug it directly to the HP notebook's USB port. But I want to operate the printer via the home network, keeping it hooked to the Windows XP desktop computer.
How to solve this problem? Thanks.

This is the HP notebook forums. I would recommend posting this in the printer forums for better coverage.

HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"

I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet. I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address. It is the only thing it discovers.
I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network" Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
This just cycles with no progress. I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV. No change.
I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer. It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am having a similar problem as well. The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility. However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized. I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck. As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues. Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated!
