From windows 7 laptop, "Insufficient access to connect to selected printer!

I am frustrated trying to setup printer sharing from Windows 7 laptop. Bonjour printer wizard keeps returning error message " You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer" HELP PLEASE

Sorry, your advice did not solve the issue. To be more precise:
I have a HPLaserjet1010 and Brother MFC-240C connected to the iMAC which runs on OS X 10.6.2.
The laptop runs on Windows XP. I was able to print via wireless network before, using the Bonjour software to connect. (This needs to be the 32bit version as the laptop runs 32 bit.)
The software was able to find the printers under \\Macintosh.local
Since several weeks, this connection does not work anymore.
I tried to delete the printers and run Bonjour again. The software can detect the printers and installs them, but they just don't print.
On the iMAC, I did not change any settings. The printers features are defined as "shared" printers.
Any idea how to solve this issue?

    I assume you have rebooted the router and the printers?  I'd start with that.  Have you replaced or swapped the Ethernet cables?  Does the light near the 2600n's Ethernet port blink when you plug it in (as if there is traffic between it and the router)?

  • I am switching to Apple macbook pro from Windows laptop.  Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?  How can I transport from Windows to Mac?  What I have saved on external hardrives, will I be able to open it on Mac?

    I am switching to Apple macbook pro from Windows laptop.  Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?  How can I transport from Windows to Mac?  What I have saved on external hardrives, will I be able to open it on Mac?

    Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?
    Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
    How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
    You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
    If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
    The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
    Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

    Office for Mac, http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products, can open/edit/create Office documents.If your external drive is formatted NTFS then you can copy the Office documents to your computer and work on them. You won't be able to save the files back to your NTFS formatted drive. But you will be able to save the documents to your internal drive. You can move all the external files to your internal drive then format the external drive for Apple. Then you can copy the files back to your external drive for ongoing use.

  • Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files?

    TC late 2008. I want to give Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files? I have tried to locate "Guest" accounts in my Airport Utility with no luck and I do not understand my options. Example: Could I add a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway router before or after my TC and not have a security problem?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Guest networking requires a "simultaneous dual-band" AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. Those weren't introduced until 2009.
    Are the files you want to protect on your Time Capsule or on your Mac? You can protect files on your Time Capsule with a password. In AirPort Utility look at the Disks panel, File Sharing tab.

  • I have to delete all Apple drivers from Windows 7 every time I connect via USB

    Hi,
    Every time I connect to itunes via USB cable on my Windows & Laptop, the iphone DOE'S NOT SHOW UP IN MY COMPUTER. It shows up in iTunes and syncs ok, but I cannot access my photos from the phone in 'My Computer' !
    As a consequence, I have to uninstal both the MTU driver (or Apple iPhone driver) from "Portable Devices" and the "Apple MObile Device USB Driver" from the USB Contollers tan from within "Device Manager". I then immediately scan the comuter for changes and everything works again and my iphone is listed in "my Computer" again. Eveything is fully functional at this stage.
    HOWEVER, as soon as take the phone off the |USB cable and try to reconnect the iphone again to the PC, the very same thing happens again and I have to go through ther same procedure all over again!
    I have never had these problems before updating my iphone and itunes the last few times, not sure exctly when the problem started, but it was at least a couple of updates ago!
    Another thing I noticed since the one from last ios update for the iphone 4, is that my phone mutes itself at random times and I have to restart or respring the device to get sound back!
    Not related to the previous problem, but I thought i'd mention it
    Since the last ios update a few days ago, it hasn't muted itselld yet but as I have not read anywhere anout anyone experiencing the same problem, I am not too hopeful that it has been fixed!
    If anyone can help with a more permanent solution to the USB problem, I would be very grateful.
    By the way, I have changed USB cables, restarted iphone and laptop several times, completely removed iteuns and reinstalled it as per the instructions on the itunes site, made ure everything is updated to the very latetest firmware and software, in short, I have tried EVERYTHING, so please don't state the obvious in your replies, I have pretty much tried everything before coming onto this forum.
    Many thanks in advance,

    Sorry, just to confirm, I DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION!
    I replied to the previous message from my iphone and I managed to hit the link to "This has answered my question" by accident!
    I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE ALSO NIW TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THE GREEN TEXT TGAT SAYS TGAT MY QUESTION IS ANSWERED? That is a pain! It should at least ask you to confirm that your question is actually answered and you didn't hit it by mistake, like I did!

  • Unable to print from my laptop using the wireless connection..

    I have configured my HP 3540 series as Wireless printer. The diagnostic tools can detect the printer wirelessly on my laptop and a test page is being printed out without issues. However, when I try to print a document from the same laptop I am unable to get it printed.
    I am sure the printer IP is getting detected on the laptop and is configured properly.
    What else can I check to resolve this issue.
    Note: I get the same issue if I connect the printer through the USB cable provided.

    Hello naveen8549,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issues.
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.

  • Migrating from Windows laptop to Macbook Pro - HELP

    How do I keep my current iTunes settings/music/phone backup/etc. when going from my Windows laptop to my new Macbook Pro? I moved the "itunes" folder to replace the one on the new Mac but itunes didn't recognize that it was there...The main thing I want to keep is my phone settings/purchases. Please help. Thanks!

    These directions tell you how to move your iTunes library from one computer to another computer. While they talk about using an iPod, if you ignore that part & follow the directions, you'll be OK:

    Or, you could make an appointment at an Apple store, take both computers & your phone, and the geniuses will do everything for you, make sure all is working properly & explain everything to you. There is no cost for this service.

  • HT1925 When i plug my iPhone 4S into my Windows laptop, it won't connect to my laptop or iTunes, how do i fix this program? Thanks!

  • Continued issues with printing from Windows laptop to Mac

    I have an iMac running Tiger (10.4.8) with a Brother MFC-8640D attached via USB. The iMac is connected to a Linksys wireless router via Ethernet cable. I have two Windows laptops (Sony Vaio and Dell Inspiron), both running XP; they connect wirelessly to the Internet and to the iMac.
    I used Bonjour for Windows to set up the Brother printer. Initially, I used the Windows driver, but my print jobs would show as completed but not actually print. Following the suggestions in several posts, I used the Apple Laserwriter PS driver. What happens now is that the print job stops and can't be restarted.
    Can anyone tell me what I should try next? Someone mentioned setting up a "raw queue" on the Mac, but I don't know how to do that.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Take a look at this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2231.html
    Also make sure you have set up your windows computer to share your printer. I have my mac mini printing wireless through my us robotics router on my windows xp printer. Print with it all the time, never had a problem.

  • IMac wont boot after file transfer from Windows laptop

    Hi folks,
    I am looking for some advice if anyone can help?
    Sunday evening I transferred asome data off an old knackered Windows laptop via my home network. During the transfer, my 2013 iMac 27" started to really slow down and became unresponsive (i tried to cancel the data transfer and restart). In the end I have to force shut down by holding the power button in. Now, upon reboot of the machine, it won't get passed half way of the progress bar - and I've left it an hour at the most and given up.
    I have attempted a verify and repair in Disk Utility, and even though I have managed to Verify Disk and Repair Disk, they took an absolute age to get through - I was chatting to an Apple Customer Care person, and they told me to chat back once it was done, which was probably 20-30mins after I started.
    I then went on to Verify Disk Permission, which I left running for around 2 hours until it finished, and then moved onto Repair Disk Permissions, of which I cancelled after about 4 hours worth of it doing not a lot!
    When I try and boot, it gets to a stage where the hdd is making a repetitive noise, as if it is stuck in a loop somehow.
    I am running Yosemite 10.10.1, and have reset the PRAM to no avail.
    I am fearing the worst tbh, but my main concern is the data on the drive - any tips on how to attempt to recover that data - or to fix the drive itself?
    Thanks
    Andy

    The correct way to restart in Safe Mode is when you hear the "Bong" sound hold down and continue to hold down the Shift key until a progress bar appears. Here are Apple's instructions on how to correctly restart in Safe Mode.
    I would recommend that you also look over Gray screen appears during startup.
