Gnome 3 reports a network printer as "not connected",but prints fine

Hi,
I got the same problem mentioned here as "Other issue": https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119248
When I print on my network printer it always says "printer is not connected" at first (popup in gnome shell) but then it prints fine.
I think it has something to do with CUPS or some settings of the network card (inside the Kyocera FS-1020D) -> I have disabled the whole apple things like Bonjour etcpp.
In the mentioned thread there are several perople reporting this issue - did anyone solve it?

That's intresting .. maybe it is a gnome bug? I am also using Gnome 3.2.

  • Can not connect to printer

    My Mac (running OS X 10.9.1) will NOT connect (find) my HP C410 printer when I send a print job!  I have re-booted and un-installed/re-installed everything multiple times.  I can connect to the scanner and scan but I cannot print!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I have always printed with this printer, network, mac system with NO problems.  I do not know why I suddenly cannot print!.
    Regards,
    Jon

    Thanks MACkeral,
    Reset print system and NO success!  I have literally tried all I can think of.
    Verified update software/driver, etc.
    Reset: Printer, Mac (multiple times), as well as wireless modem.
    un-installed and re-installed printer multiple times:  Most the time the mac will not even see the printer until I go and re-boot it or take it on/off network.  Then once I have the mac recognize and install/setup printer (and all looks good).  I send a print job and it immediately goes into que and just sits there, and then get the error message -  "Printer is not connected" (in print que window).  Funny thing is if I leave it and walk-away.  Hours or days later I will find my print job sitting on the printer!
    Any help much appreciated! Very frustrating for a new Mac person.
    Best regards,
    Jon

  • My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network

    My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened.

  • Printer suddenly "not connected" according to computer, but configuration report says "connected"

    Our computer has always worked fine on our wireless network. Suddenly, though, we are unable to print. The status of the computer shows as Idle, with a green light, in System Preferences (Mac OSX). However, when I try to print something, I get the status "The Printer is Not Connected". We printed a HP Network Configuration Page from the printer; it states that it is connected to our Wi-fi network. We have tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in and restarting.
    Any other ideas?

    Hi @W1984,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
     For further assistance, I will need to know some further information:
    The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    The version of Mac OS X you are using. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    Please see this post, Want Good Answers? Ask Good Questions, by @Bob_Headrick, so you can get the most out of these forums.  
    Hope this helps, and have a great day!

  • How can I fix my MacBook Pro losing wireless connectivity with Epson Stylus NX625 printer.  It will work once and then I get an error saying the printer is not connected.

    I can connect to my Epson Stylus NX625 through my wireless network and print a page or two, but then the next time I go to print it says that the printer is not connected.  Any fixes?  I have tried deleting the printer and re-adding it to my MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.4, but sometimes it doesn't even find it, and other times it says it is connected, but when I go to print it says not connected.  Very frustrated.  I have also installed the latest drivers, etc.
    What now?

    Your computer is going to run hot while playing CPU/GPU intensive games - it should heat up and the fans should be noticably loud. As to why it's 'crashing' - can you post a kernel panic log? You may have some third-party kexts that are causing the problems.

  • Officejet 6700 error while searching for updates: 'Printer could not connect to server'

    I recently purchase the Officejet 6700 Premium. While setting the printer up, I received the error 'The printer could not connect to the server.' I first received this while the printer was searching for updates. I later received the same error while trying to set up ePrint from my computer.
    The printer is connected through my wireless router. All other print services function normally. It is connected to the network, and I have printed several times over the wireless network.
    Though I don't think it matters, since the on-board print set-up gave me the error, I run Windows 7 64-bit on my computer.
    Thanks for any help!

    What is the IP address of the printer?  What is the make and model of the router that you use in the wireless set up? Is the router firmware up to date? 
    I would first try power cycling the router and the printer. Turn off/unplug the router and then power down the printer. Then plug the router back in and wait for it to be fully up and functioning before turning the printer back on.  After you have both pieces of equipment back on and functioning attempt to connect to web services again.
    If still having problems I would attempt to set a static DNS on the printer through the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address into the address bar of  a browser on a computer. 
    Once that computer displays that page click on the Network tab.
    Then look in the column to the left and find the Wireless section
    Click on IPv4
    Then on that page look at the 2nd section that is labeled DNS Address configuration
    Change the radio button to the manual option
    Then for the manual preferred fill it out and make sure it reads 8.8.8.8
    Secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4
    Then hit Apply
    Read the next screen carefully. That message with the "OK" button below it  is one that states to click that button to undo the changes you  just made.  Just navigate away from that page by clicking on another tab.
    Then reattempt to connect to web services.

  • Officejet Pro 8000 wireless printer is "not connected."

    My Office Jet worked like a dream until I had to change my network settings, specifically my wireless network password.  I reconfigured the printer with the new password, but now whenever I try to print, I get an error message saying the printer is 'not connected.'  If I connect via USB cable, it works fine.
    The network configuration printout shows that the printer is connected to the wireless network and the diagnostics (wireless on, wireless working, etc) all read PASS.  
    I am using a MacBook.
    Help?

    try this on the touchscreen of your printer ...
    - go to "Setup"
    - select "Network"
    - make sure the "Wireless Direct" feature is enabled
    I was having the same problem(s) and this solved my issue

  • Printer showing not connected

    My  HP photosmart 7520 series printer has been fine for 8 months now in control panel it shows NOT CONNECTED but it still prints and scans fine. The printer panel shows it connected to network and the the network map in Norton shows it connected and online. Scan doctor says everything is fine. Help

    Hello agroves,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer showing that it is not connected when in the control panel,
    I do have a couple suggestions for you to try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    The other step is to disable the Norton anti virus protection and then reboot the computer.  Once the computer is back on, check the control panel and see if it still reads that it is not connected.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thanks for your time.

  • My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer?  My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2.  How do I get it connected?

    My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer.  The old airport did.  I recently updated to OS 10.9.2.  I have since bought a new
    HP 6700 all in one wireless printer,  got the latest Comcast router.  None of which connect to my computer wirelessly.  Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac?  Help

    Contact HP for support.
    Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
    Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
    Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

    Hello jbsarts,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with a connection error.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document that deals with A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning.  The document may have "Scanning" in the Title, but it will troubleshoot the issue just the same.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • What do I do when I get the message my printer is not connected? HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One

    What do I do when I get the message my printer is not connected when I want to print wirelessly.? HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One.  I have a macintosh computer using snow leopard.  I have used the printer for 6 months.  Nothing has changed.  I shut off the printer and turned it on.  The internet is working altough I will turn it off and on.  What do I do next?  Thank you.

    The easiest and fastest thing for you is to reset the printer to its defaults and then just install the printer again following the instructions in the manual when you received it.  If you don't have these you will find this on the HP web site.
