Help - can't see shared printer on MBP

Hello,
I'm trying to share a printer on our wireless network. We have 2 MBP, the printer is plugged into one via USB. The option to share the printer is ticked. When I go into the add printers on the other MBP it's no where to be seen?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Replace old router with WRT110 and now I can not see shared printer on network

Replaced a BEFW11S4 with a WRT110. Now I can not see a shared printer on the network any more. I have not changed anything on the computer that has the printer shared. I can see the internet on all the computers, but not the shared printer. can you help?

First which you need to check, is your printer is working Offline on your computer. In this case you need to Re-map your Printer on your Computers back again. First check if you have any Firewall or Antivurs Installed on your computer try to disable it and check if you are able to print from your computer. If not then try to Remap the printer on your computer.
Go to Network connections window and if you are able to see your computer name on which the printer is installed, then right click on the Printer and click on "Connect" or "MAP" once done you will be able to print from your computer.
Note down the IP address of the Computer on which you have Installed the Printer. (Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok, now in the command prompt type "ipconfig" and note down the Ip address, Then go to your other computer and Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and now in the Command prompt type "ping (IP address of your main computer) and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies. If yes, then again click on "Start - Run - type ( \\ip address of your main computer) and click Ok, and now you will be able to see your printer name then right click on it and click on "Connect" or Map, once done, now check if you are able to print from your computer.

Can't see shared printer with IOS 6 on ipad 3rd generation

I just upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to iOS 6.0 and now it won’t see the shared printers at my office. The printers are shared on a Mac mini server running OS X Server Lion 10.7.4. I can still see the shared printers and can print to them from a 3rd generation ipad with iOS 5.1.1.
Does anyone know what apple changed with iOS 6.0 that makes it where the shared printers aren’t showing up and what I might need to do to get them back working on my ipad with iOS 6.0?
Thanks -

iOS printing to a non-AirPrint printer is not supported. There's more information here: AirPrint 101
If you had iOS printing working through yout OS X Server then you must have had another piece of software running in the server emulating AirPrint. That software isn't compatible with iOS 6.

Can't see shared printer over wireless network

I currently have a newer HP F340 injet printer connected to my emac which is on a wireless network (Linksys) so that I can share internet connection with my MacBook Pro. Both are running Mac OS 10.4.8. When I try to print on my MacBook Pro, I don't even see the shared printer, in fact, there isn't even a separate chioce for shared printers. I used to have a Lexmark printer that actually worked on the network.

After following some advice from a different posting, I loaded the gimp print drivers and recreated the printer in the printer listing using the gimp printer. This worked! The only problem I had was that I had to load the whole Mac OSX base system and then the print drivers. This messed up my system and I had to reset a bunch of user preferences, etc. It took me a couple of hours.

Can't See Shared Printer

I'm having trouble printing to a printer shared by my Mac Pro running 10.6.8 from my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 Printer sharing is turned on on my Mac pro, they are connected to the same network, the MacBook via Airport and the Mac Pro via ethernet. I can quite happily swap files between them.
When I try to add a printer on the MacBook the Canon iP4300 simply doesn't show up under the list of available printers as I think it should do. ANyone have any ideas?

OK, I found out what the problem was. The CUPS server on the Mac Pro had 'Share printers connected to this system' unchecked so even though I had checked 'share' in Printing & Fax prefs nothing was being shared. To get to the CUPS interface I opened a browser and typed:
http://localhost:631/
The page opened and I checked the relevant box. The printer showed up immediately when trying to add one on the MacBook Pro and I have succesfully printed a page from there.

Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printers

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.
thanks,

You need to update the printer's firmware to 2.0.
Go to http://www.canon.ie/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/Ink Jet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG6250.aspx?type=download&page=1
It is really hard to find what you need but it is at canon Ireland.

Can't see Shared icon

Hi,
I have latest updates installed on my Macbook and iPad, but can't see Shared icon. I have tried to search for answer, but it helped not much. I'm new with this "sharing" stuff. I have Home Sharing turned on, but seem to have the same issue like some others, that no Shared icon is visible.
Also, strangely enough, when syncing, most of the apps from iPad have been removed, so I see them in Apps section in iTunes on my Mac, but they are no longer on iPad.
Any help please?
Michal

Although that was a very helpful hint that I can in fact play Mac's iTune Music on iPad without syncing, it's not solving my primary issues, which are:
1. I bought some music via iTunes on iPad and I can't get them to Mac, because that Shared label is not present in my Mac iTunes
2. I want some of my Mac iTunes music to sync to iPad anyway, because I want to play it also when not being on home share network.
3. When I synced iPad, many apps have been removed from it and are not there anymore, but appear in Mac's iTunes in that Apps section under iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Apps, but are not below in iPad Apps - I don't know how to get them back to iPad and how to prevent this to happen again
These are maybe trivial questions, but I wasn't able to find answers and don't have so much time to search more.
Thanks.

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.

Ok I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.

OS X 10.8.3-Safari 6.0.4 Can't see or print Chase bank statements

Everything has worked just fine prior to installing the latest version of Adobe Reader. I could log on to my Chase credi tcard account, view and print from Safari anything I wanted. Subsequent to the Reader installation I can't see or print the statements. Printing other stuff hasn't been effected as far as I can tell.

Disable the Adobe Reader PDF plug-in.

If you want to use Adobe's plug-in, make sure you open Adobe Reader and accept the license agreements, if you haven't already.

Can't see MFP printer attached to AE (in Bridge mode)

Can't see MFP printer attached via ethernet cable to 2nd AE (in Bridge mode extending wireless network) on local wifi network.
Printer is set to static IP adress (192.168.0.50).
Upstream Router is: 192.168.0.1 (this is connected to first AE).
When the printer was previously attached (by ethernet cable) to 1st AE, everything was working fine and I could login to printer Admin page via Safari by typing IP Address. I have since moved the printer to the back of the house and leaving all previous settings, the printer is not visiable on the wifi network.
Normal process to setup is:
System Prefs > Print & Fax > Add > IP > 192.168.0.50 (currently just hangs not seeing the printer).
Normally the printer name appears and the correct driver is shown at the bottom as Use: Ricoh 2020D Driver

Have you verified that the Ethernet port is functioning correctly by temporarily connecting a laptop, turning off the wireless, and connecting using an Ethernet cable to see if the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way?
The all-in-one device should also be reset back to factory default settings, then reconfigured again with a new static IP address. In other words, start all over again on the printer including a complete power cycle of the main and extending AirPort devices..

I can't see "shared" on sidebar... everything is checked though

everything is in place for my home sharing however i can not see "shared" on my mac laptop but i can see it on my pc desktop

Hi Mariah ~
It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
I'll do the same for you.
Enjoy your day and good luck.
Shaunn

Can't see the printer queue

Hi,
I can't see the printer queue in Snow Leopard.
Either if I go to the Printer & Fax setting in the System Settings and try to open the printer queue it doesn't open.

I have the same problem and I'd like to attach my issue to this thread.
I use a Brother HL5250DN printer connected via USB cable to an Airport Express base station. The model is supported by 10.6, drivers are installed and the printer appears properly on all the lists. I can print on it, I can set all the options, but I have no access to the queue whatsoever. I can print without problems, I just can't access the queue.
It doesn't appear in the Dock during printing.
Pressing the button in the Printer & Fax preferences window produces no result, error or feedback of any kind.
What's wrong? I tried reinstalling the drivers and the entire system, but without "Archive & Install" option I can't do much to ensure there are no left-overs from 10.5. Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I have my printer email address, but I can not see my printer listed when I login to hpeprint.com

I will need some more information in order to assist. What model of printer do you have? Different printers have different features such as the ability to display the printer's ePrint address on the front panel of the printer. The website that the printer can be viewed at is eprintcenter.com. Click on this link here to see the sign in page. Have you signed up and register the printer at this site? Is the email address for the printer one that you have customized? Or is one consisting of what appears to be random letters and numbers?
