Firewall "on" no network printer, firewall "off" network printer works great.

When I turn my firewall on my network printer (via ethernet AEBS) is no longer available.
Printer sharing is turned on.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the Airport Admin Utility cannot automatically "see" your Base Station, you have a big clue as to the cause of your problems. On a private LAN, it should never be necessary to select "Other" and manually type in the Base Station's IP address.
The most likely cause for the Airport Admin Utility not being able to automatically "see" an Airport Base Station - is a firewall on the Mac that is blocking it. Any of the following are possible:
- you have installed non-Apple firewall software on the Mac
- you have installed so-called "internet protection" software on the Mac
- you have installed "internet monitoring" software on the Mac (like "Little Snitch")
- you have installed VPN client software on the Mac - and many of these applications install their own firewall
All this stuff needs to go, since it will cause all sorts of trouble with communication between a Base Station or Airport Express, and a Mac.
I'd also be very worried about what this "Cocktail" utility is really doing to your system.

My printer works great but I keep getting error messages from HP Solutions Center

I'm using an HP Officejet J6480 All in One Printer on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine. The printer works great but I kept getting error messages from the HP Solutions Center every 15 seconds that popped up making it impossible to do work on my laptop so I uninstalled the Solutions Center to try to fix the problem. Now the printer won't print. Is there a way to re-install the Solutions Center and get rid of the pop up error messages?

hello Danagriz, unfortunately the plugin check page lags behind. adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection.
https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p794
please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).
in order to update java, go to java.com (or if you don't need the plugin you can also uninstall it though the windows control panel)

I Am looking for an app free app that will allow me to type and edit my homework. I am using a 7.1.1 version of I pad. I have a wireless printer from Walmart hp envy 4502 which is working great. Appreciate any input

Only two devices on our plan, so not so much an issue. And I have found myself using it much more than I thought I would when we got them (also first smart phones for both of us). Even got my wife to use hers for checking email while we were out of the country (big step forward for her ). I'm very interested in the ApplePay, but will want to wait a bit before diving into it. And since both phones are still in great working order, will likely wait a bit for the upgrade (sometime next year?). Will depend, I suppose, on the kinds of deals we see and what the plans turn out to be for updating my iPad and getting here one.

Bought SCS-2U01 network extender - worked great for 10 days...

now the system light is slow blinking or steady red. Read the manual online and it says that means "abnormal". Failure communicating with Verizon Wireless.
All other lights are blue. It's plugged into my wi-fi modem and my laptop works fine, so there's nothing wrong with my wi-fi. Any suggestions??

Mine usually does this for 15-20 minutes when it's first powered on, or when it's connection has been reset. Have you contacted Verizon Customer/Technical Support (800-922-0204)? If you purchased this unit from somewhere other than Verizon or as a refurbished unit, it's MAC ID may still be associated with the previous owner's account. Verizon Support can also assist with this.

Smart print worked great on first use now only generates a blank page

Using IE8 on XP Pro SP3. Installed Smart Print(SP). Activated. Opened new IE browser session. Got web page I wanted to print. Hit Smart Print(SP) button. Exact text wanted was select by SP. Hit Print Preview. All selected text present on PP. Printed.
Got next page. Hit SP. Exact text again selected. Hit PP. Got preview with Header-Footer only. Hit Print. Same Header-footer printed.
Closed all IE browser sessions.
Opened new IE browser session. Got page to print. Hit SP. Exact text selected by SP. Hit PP. Still got preview with Header-Footer only. Print same also.
Used >>File>Print Preview. All of printable webpage on PP...just not with SP?

Hello Dave,
Its nice to see such a explanatory question. As per my understanding of your problem, event on sort begin triggers for the first record of the internal table and making the flag as TRUE. So you just put another condition in the COMMAND node as SY-TABIX NE 1. So it skips for the first record.
COMMAND generate a new page if condition new page switch = TRUE " & SY-TABIX NE 1

Printing to a shared Windows printer - worked on PB not on MBP

On my old Powerbook, printing to a shared printer on a Windows workstation was a breeze. Open the printer utility, browse for a Windows printer, select it, pick the right driver and done. Printing works great.
MacBook Pro, same process, sees the printer, creates the printer object. Printing never works. I wiped the PowerBook to give it to my wife so the old settings for this remote location are gone. I've tried printing with the firewall off and the firewall on. I don't have any local sharing turned on. The only thing I can think of is that I used to use SharePoints from Hornware because at one time it made connecting to Windows shares simpler.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

DRChevalier,
Hmmm. Shouldn't matter whether it's a MBP or PB. OK, so it's Windows Printing. Perhaps you need to place the Macbook Pro in the PC's "Workgroup." When you enable sharing on the PC, you will have also created a Windows "Workgroup." Determine what that is, then use Directory Access on the MBP to include it in this workgroup. Do you know how?
Beyond that, make sure your printer queue isn't stopped, or delete it and try again. Sometimes this helps, and sometimes this gives you the opportunity to catch some small setting that makes the difference (which you overlooked before).

I have turned firewall off but my iphone will still not update. it still says 'network time out' i am using a dell laptop

i have turned firewall off but my iphone will still not update. it still says 'network time out' i am using a dell laptop and i want to update my iphone4 to iOS 5.

HT203163 I am not able to access to iphone updates/store; as secure link to itunes store failed. I tried to turn firewall off, reinstall itunes and other troubleshoot options but none of them works.....

I am not able to access to iphone updates/store; it displays the message under diagnostics 'secure link to itunes store failed'.

Please help.

Update: I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure?

Mac does not appear to be accepting any incoming connections (firewall off)

Hi, all.
I've been desperately trying to get my PS3 to talk to my Mac with zero success. I've tried a large range of software, from Twonky to MediaTomb to PS3MediaServer to EyeConnect and to MediaLink. All fail to recognise the PS3, and vice-versa.
Firewall is turned off, router appears fine (seems to work with other computers on network), but the problem persists.
The apps listed above are not the only ones which will not receive incoming connections from the LAN: VNC does not appear to work, and Transmission bittorrent client is telling me that my ports are on 'stealth' (though this could be a router issue).
If you think it may be a router issue, my router is a DG934G router provided by Sky Broadband.
I've recently re-installed the OS (harddrive failure, replaced), but the problem won't seem to budge.
Thanks very much in advance. I look forward to hearing your insight and wisdom.

You must have a third party application or some startup files in place that specifically enable ipfw on your system, as the firewall in Mac OS X Leopard no longer uses ipfw. (ipfw still exists, but you must configure and start it manually.)
Could you have set up ipfw in a non-standard way on Tiger and those scripts are still being run now that you're using Leopard? Have you set up ipfw using a third-party app
Good catch. I suspect that this is the problem.
Not being extremely familiar with ipfw, would the command
sudo ipfw disable firewall
do the trick?
Or at least verify that it is or is not the issue?
Hurray! My faith has been restored in all things networked! The command "sudo ipfw disable firewall" seemed to do the trick.
I've just tested Twonky and VNC, and for the first time ever, they're working! Next is to try streaming to the PS3....
Thank you all
Actually the real credit goes to William who discovered the problem from your log report. I merely followed up on his surmise and posted the firewall off command for you to try. However, the important thing is that your system is now working properly, which, after all, is the primary purpose of these forums.
Enjoy

Tried both ways in the Wiki, still can't get network printing work

Hi,
I have tried both the client and server ways following the Wiki, still could not get network printing work.
For the first way, I tried to put either the host name or the ip address (starting with 192) of the remote printer into /etc/cups/client.conf. But both Okular and Evince failed to see the printer in the dialog.
For the second way, with cups-browsed running, it only managed to discover printers in my local network (ip starting with 137) which I have no access. I tried to manually add the printer using its ip, but it still did not work.
What can I do? I have spent hours trying to work it out but failed. I would appreciate a lot your help. Thanks.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"? Ones with a green checkmark are solved.

I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it. The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac. Any suggestions?

Hi Clark
There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up.
From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

When i try to order prints i get an error message saying there is a problem with my network and my network is working

when i try to order prints i get an error message saying there is a problem with my network and my network is working. How can i solve this problem?

Try a different media. I have good luck using Maxell discs.

I have an HP Photosmart Premium C410. It worked great with Mountain Lion, but it doesn't with Mavericks. Can't install any printing s/w even though it's on the network. Anyone know why????

So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst.

Firewall "on" no network printer, firewall "off" network printer works great.
