Having trouble with dell printer and bonjour

Hi,
We recently got iMac computers for our office, however we still have a windows computer we need to be able to use to print. I have the printer, a Dell 1320c, installed on my Mac, and it prints just fine.
I also have Parallels and Windows 7 installed on my Mac. I can print just fine from within Windows (Bonjour was not needed) Curiously, when I print a Windows Test Page from within Parallels, it says that the printer name is the Dell Color Laser 1320c, however, the Printer Model says: HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS. I have no clue where that came from, but I wonder if that may be causing a problem.
Within OS X 10.8.2, I have enabled Printer Sharing to everyone. I turned off sharing in Parallels, though that didn't make a difference.
On the Windows 7 PC, I have tried to manually add the printer with TCP/IP, but it wouldn't recognize a printer. I installed Bonjour, and was able to install the Dell printer, however, when I print, I get a bunch of pages that starts like this:
-12345X@PJL JOB MODE=PRINTER
@PJL SET STRINGCODESET=UTF8
@PJL COMMENT DATE=12/26/2012
@PJL COMMENT TIME=17:02:04
@PJL COMMENT DNAME=Test Page
@PJL SET JOBATTR="@LUNA...........
and so on...
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I saw several posts about disabling bi-directional support, but that didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas of what else I could try?? Thank you!

Hi,
No, you can't connect direcly from your computer to your printer using network cable. It has USB connection:

I believe your Macbook Pro also hae USB port(s). Please use a cable which is similar to the follwing cable to connect them:

    I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.   When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del.   When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway.   I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
    This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.
    Cheers for now,

  • Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

    Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy 

    You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

  • I am having trouble with my FaceTime and imessage?

    I Am having trouble with my FaceTime. When I try to FaceTime some one I am getting no ringing and then I get a message saying lost connection try again. It has been like this since yesterday. I also tried to send a iMessage and it did not go. This is all new to me, has anyone had the same problem? Please help. Thank you.

    Turn FaceTime off in Settings>FaceTime>Off. Reboot your iPad. Turn FaceTime on again and see if it will work.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    having trouble with ringtone and ringback tones ..i followed all directions for home sharing.  does anyone have a real solution???

    Hello sairdoor123
    From what I understand the issue seems to be with the hardware, obviously since the phone was dropped that could cause undesired results.
    If all your data is backed up to a computer then I would recommend doing a hard reset: http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
    If a hard reset is done then I would caution you with the following choices:  ( Should I have the audio circuit repaired as suggested by one of the repair guys? Or would that be risky?) - I would say this is risky because the person repairing the devise could easily sodder the wrong part of the hardware.
    If you really do think repairing the circuit board is more cost effective then I would recommend researching all your possible repair shops before doing any work. Make sure they have the credentials and experiences.
    Hopefully things work out for you.

  • HT1689 I am having trouble with my appleid and password. I have changed to a new id and password, however whenever I updat an app it continues to give me my old applid and i  do not have a password for this account because it no longer exists

    I am having trouble   getting my updates on my apps. The email address no longer exists. I have set up a new appleid and password. However my old email address keeps showing up and I do not know the password. Can anyone help me?

    Items are permanantly associated with a single AppleID used at the time of the purchase.
    You will have to contact Apple about the non-working e-mail and forgotten password.  It's kind of like going to the police and saying you know that red car in the corner of the parking lot is yours but you don't have the papers for it and you have lost the key to the door.
    http://www.apple.com/contact/ - many contact options, including web site feedback and legal.
    Apple ID Support - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/  -> Apple ID FAQ -->
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • Problem with Dell Printer and Wireless Router

    I have a new Linksys Wireless Router (3100) and it handles 3 laptops, PS3 fine.  But I have a Dell 715w network printer (also new).  I have it set up on the network, and it works fine upon setup.  The problem is the printer does not work all the time.  Sometimes I can get an error message, sometimes it says it is busy, and other times it literally takes a long time to load and then does not print.  I usually can get it to work again by rebooting and turning off the router and printer and laptops, but this hit or miss is very annoying and I never know when it will do this again, usually after a week or two. I wonder if the problem is that the 3 laptops all have different OS - XP, Vista and Windows 7.  Dell tech support won't help as they say they don't support routers, but I am wondering whether the problem is ina s etting or if this printer is malfunctioning.  any help would be appreciated

    Yes. You have to key-in the IP address to the printer.
    Basically, if the printer is set to obtain IP address from the router, it will be provided with a random IP or any IP available for the next device that will connect, on this issue, your printer. So there's no permanent IP address for the printer, making it a little hard to find at times. Compare it with the a static IP, your computer can easily map it since it doesn't change.

  • Trouble with HP printer and network

    Just upgraded to SL on my MBA. I have a small office network with only a few computers and 2 HP printers. They're both old, one HP Color Laserjet 4600n and one HP Laserjet 4000TN. I've been printing to both of them for over 1 yr on MBA with Leopard (10.5). 10.6 does away with appletalk, so I install the first printer, HP4000, through IP protocol with HP Jetdirect Socket. I input the printer's IP address, SL finds it and installs perfectly, no problems. But the MBA now cannot see the HP 4600. I find the printer's IP (192.2.2.188) and input it into the add printer (IP protocol) boxes and it cannot find the printer. I tried using the terminal and "pinging" the printer at that IP address and it cannot find it. So my MBA is not communicating with the printer somehow. I know the cables work, I know other computers (PCs) can find and print to the HP 4600. I can't figure it out. Please help!

    I am having the same problem. I first hooked up my old printer; an HP 7760 deskjet. It printed fine for a day or two. Then it just stopped and it would say "jobs stopped." I kept clicking on "start jobs," but it just wouldn't print. It would go back to "jobs stopped."
    I reinstalled 3 times. On the third time it worked and I started printing again. After 5 or 6 print jobs, it stopped again.
    I decided to hook up the HP that I bought when I bought the new iMAC G-5. The HP Deskjet 5740 began printing right away with no problems..... until the next morning. Back to the same "jobs stopped" problems! I can't seem to get any answers. Some have suggested that using the new OS X v10.4 Tiger is too new and I need to download new drivers. I tried that, but I wasn't able to get the new drivers installed.
    Super frustrating!

  • Having trouble with the File and Folder Objects (PSCS3 javascript on Win)

    I'm having trouble successfully creating a new folder on my windows platform, using javascripts in photoshop. In ExtendScript Toolkit 2, set to Adobe Photoshop CS3, I've tried:
    var myFolder = new Folder("/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents");
    myFolder.create();
    and
    var myFolder = new Folder("/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents");
    is this right? what am I doing wrong? It's pretty basic stuff, I know but I can't figure is out... any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yep.

    The "/c/Documents and Settings/vcastelo/My Documents/data" form works, too, and
    should be preferred.
    Here's an extreme example as to why this is a good idea:
    I work in an XP/cygwin environment, so I added links to all of my drives in my
    root cygwin folder. As a result, the path /p/Pictures/2008-05-05 is the same on
    the bash command line (and other tools) as it is in PSJS. I carried this over to
    my Mac, as well. I mount P: drive in OSX then setup links so that
    /p/Pictures/2008-05-05 is also the same on the Mac. This has vastly simplified
    my work. The only time I use system-specific pathnames is in a script's UI.

  • I am postin a message but no one seems to answer it . Plse I am having trouble with adobe 5 and I wr

    I am hjaving trouble with adobe 5 not compatable with my computer so how do I get rid of it and up grade  to a newer verson, hopfully a free one

    There is no application named Adobe 5, so you might have to provide the correct name for the application.  If it happens to be Creative Suite 5 (CS5) there is a good chance it is compatible with your computer but you might have to install it in a compatibility mode.  If you want to remove it you should first deactivate it. YOu might also do well to use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool...
    Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
    helps resolve installation problems for CS3 thru CS6 and for Creative Cloud
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    As far as I know there are no free upgrades, especially if the reason would be lack of compatibility.  It might be true if you were to have purchased one version when the next version was just about to be released, but CS5 is well beyond being considered for that.  Software is not freely upgraded to match newer machines - that's part of life.
    Just in case... if the lack of compatibility is due to your machine not meeting the tech specs of CS5, then it will most likely be true that your machine does not meet the tech specs of anything newer than that.

  • Having problems with HP6980 printer and Windows 7, please help

    I just replaced my XP computer with a new HP computer running Windows 7.  Each time I turn on my HP 6980 printer, it won't print.  When I go to Devices and Printers, I see that it is offline.  I have to delete the printer and reinstall it to make it work and this solution is only good for the session.  I have to repeat the process each time that I turn on the computer.  Please help.

    Try running this next time you get the issue:

  • Having trouble with browser scrolling and master volume key

    I just got a Blackberry 9350 and I've run into some trouble. My master volume and mute key doesn't work at all. Scrolling up and down on some web pages doesn't work but works when not on the browser. I've tried messing with settings and turning the phone off and on. Any help would be appreciated!

    IE6 has many, many bugs: double margins bug, the 3px gap bug and expanding box bug.
    As a test, increase your #container width to 790 or 800px and see if that makes IE6 behave.
    As for the other IE browsers, you have conditional comments in your page that adds 30px of top padding to your #sidebar1.  Try adjusting or deleting that.
    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
    /* place css fixes for all versions of IE in this conditional comment */
    .twoColFixRtHdr #sidebar1 { padding-top: 30px; }
