Help please, Printing to HP1100 via Dlink DP300U server mixed results

First off, We are new to Mac.
We have an I Mac, and our trusty old HP Laserjet 1100 printer which we are going to share with the pc.
We installed a D-Link DP-300u print server, as the printer requires a parallel cable.
We set up the print server according to D-Link's instructions.
Using Apple Talk, and the port address "PS-772D-P1" for LP1 on the DPU300u.
Initial print test page worked fine, as did a letter printed from pages.
However, printing emails, and many other documents are not working.
When printing emails the message prints at about 1000%, printing say directions from google maps the print job ends up looking the same. both instances, the print preview window displays all things nice.
I am assuming that the print driver for the HP 1100 is good. and is intended to be used through a print server?
Has anyone successfully installed an HP Laserjet through a DP-300U?
Thanks,
Leif

After a bit of searching, I found this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6467845&#6467845
I've instaled the three linux hpijs files,
removed my printer,
rebooted,
installed the printer using the three Linux hpijs drivers,
and....
So far printing has been working, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is the solution. now, what is shown in the print preview window appears from the printer, emails, PDF files, Web pages and a power point presentation. As silly as this sounds, it is quite satisfying.

  • Help please - printing !!!!!!!!!

    I wrote the below test code to print to a printer. It displays print dialog. But once i click on the ok button it throws below exception.
    java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 >= 0
    Here is the code
    public class PrintTest
    public static void main(String[] args) throws PrinterException {
    try{
    String path = "C:\\milife\\test.java";
    PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    pj.setJobName(path);
    pj.setCopies(1);
    pj.printDialog();
    pj.print();
    catch (Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
    Can anybody pls tell me what is going wrong?
    Thanx,
    Neha

    First of all you cannot throw an Excpetion from the main() method. It makes no sense since the main() method that is used as a "GUI" even that it is a prompt. Therefore you have to handle the exceptions yourself without parsing on any exceptions to the user. (the person that is using the main() method)
    If you really need to throw the PrinterException then make a method on a Class which you instantiate and call from the main() method.
    Following these guidelines should solve your problem.

  • (HELP PLEASE) ISL connection fails with a visibroker server

    Hi all,
    I developed a tuxedo-corba client to use a non-tuxedo orb, my test in Tuxedo were fine, because I was using a Tuxedo-Corba Server with a DUMMY corba method.
    I'm using Name Service and ISL who connected to a //localmachine:xxyy
    But, when I'm trying to connect to a external Corba Server, (//111.222.333.44:14000) non-tuxedo, it fails.
    Maybe I need something more, can you help me please...
    Thanks a head for your help.

    You need to explain a little more what you are doing and what configuration you are using TOBJADDR does not work with foreign ORBS, you have to use standard CORBA urls, e.g. corbaloc:iiop:host:port/NameService

    Hi SQL gurus,

    Hi Olaf,
    Why do you add ItemPos +7 and then TypePos +9? And is it always going to be 7 and 9? Thank you
    SELECT SUBSTRING(val, ItemPos + 7, TypePos - ItemPos - 9) as [Item]
    ,SUBSTRING(val, TypePos + 7, MatPos - TypePos - 9) as [Type]

    I can get emails on my IPad but can't send them.Help,please.

    Did you check the outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • Help! - Printing via Photoshop CS3 to a Canon ip1800 printer

    Hi
    Please be gently with me as i'm new to a Mac............
    Prior to my purchase I would print images via Adobe Photoshop CS using Windows OS to a Canon ip 1800 printer and would be sufficiently happy with the results for home printing.
    Since purchasing a Mac things have all gone horribly wrong! I am now either producing washed out prints or one's with weird and wonderful colours.
    The only reasonable results I have been able to obtain are by either printing in iphoto or by letting the printer manage colour.
    This is my current workflow
    Photoshop Cs3 edit image
    File print
    Colour management Document: Select profile Adobe RGB/ SRG (tried both)
    Colour handling: Photoshop handles colour
    Printer profile: Canon ip1800 series SP2 (For photo paper plus Glossy 11 pp-201)
    Rendering intent: Perceptual (tried all to be fair)
    Black point compensation: /
    Print
    Printer: Canon ip1800 series
    Preset:Standard
    Colour matching (no control all greyed out but led to believe this is correct)
    Colour Sync (circle with a dot) Canon colour matching (circle)
    Print
    Awful result !
    I may be doing something completely obviously wrong but this is the same workflow I have previously followed but without the options in the printer driver. I'm guessing but think there might be some double profiling going on. I have had a quick try in lightroom 2 with very similar results.
    Any help would be appreciated as its driving me mad!!
    Many thanks in anticipation of your help

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply
    I'm currently using OSX 10.6.5 Snow leopard with what assumed was the latest Canon driver 10.30.3.0..........should I be using 10.26?
    Kind regards

  • New printer Apple AirPrint - I'm lost, can someone help please, thanks!

    Hi, I've just bought an Laser Printer HP1606pn, specifically so that I can print from an ipad, iphone and Mac.  I believe that eprint is a new function for this printer but I can't work out what to do as there don't seem to be any specific instructions.
    At the moment, I have it set up to work on Windows 7 with a USB cable; however, I haven't a clue what to do to get the Apple products working with it.  Can someone help please? 
    Thanks very much!

    Hi there Liz2,
    Here are the steps you'll need.
    1. Airprint works on wireless or networked printers. Your printer is network capable - meaning, you can plug in a cat-5 ethernet cable from the printer to your home router, and then Apple devices will be to wirelessly connect to it.
    2. Once you have it connect to the router, you'll need to update the firmware inside the printer, to enable it's eprint and airprint features.
    3. When that is finished, here is the guide for how to print via Airprint: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=ca&​dlc=en&docname=c02623193&lc=en&product=4110410&tmp​...

    @puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
    After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
    Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!

  • I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
    My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

    Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
    I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

    Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac, restart the printer...
