Hook 10.3.9 up to d-Link DPR-1260 Print Server?

I have added a d-Link DRP-1260 Print server to my home LAN so I could print to my HP 5550 from my Windows laptops and my desk-top Mac. Lap tops work fine, but I don't seem to set the Mac up correctly to communicate with the Print Server.
Anyone know the magic trick or where I might find it?
Thanks, Ron

Joe, I've now downloaded and installed the drivers you pointed out and I have a driver for my HP 5550 now installed so I can select it when I add a printer. But I still can't print through my print server. It seems like I am very close to success, but not quite there.
Unfortunately, all this is "cookbook" to me as I don't actually understand how it is supposed to work. For instance, how does my d-link DWL-122 USB Adapter know to transmit printer info to my print router rather than to my LAN router? or, how do I find out my print server queue name?
To me, it's all magic. Do you have any further advice for me? Is there a "Hooking your print server to your Mac, for dummy's" book?
Am I just on a bad path here and should be using some other technique to get connected?
Thanks, Ron

  • D-link DPR 1260 Print Server nightmare

    I have a D-link DPR 1260 print server connected via ethernet to my network. I have set it up so I can print to an Epson Picturemate240 from a PC running XP. This works fine.
    I have read all the posts everywhere on the DPR 1260 and so far nothing can make it print from the imac, running Leopard. I can add the printer using LPD and the print servers ip address and printer queue name but nothing happens.
    I get the following error /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.1 failed, does this mean there is a problem with the mac before to gets to the print server?
    If I cannot solve this problem now it is going in the bin!
    I have not attempted to set it up wirelessly yet as there is no point unless I can print from a Mac.

    Thanks for the info Greg
    I reset the printing system but I still get the same error message. I tried using HP and LPD but still no luck.
    If I connect the printer directly to the mac I can print fine and I have two other network printers connected directly to the network which work fine. It is only when I connect a printer to the print server that it goes wrong.
    any other ideas?

  • Getting an "uncaught exception" error when trying to Scan a document via D-Link DPR-1260 print sever (worked in prior versions of Firefox)

    I'm using the interface (Firmware V1.24) on a D-Link DPR-1260 Print Server, connected to an Epson Printer/Scanner. When I hit the "Scan" button, I get an "uncaught exception" error. This firmware has been working for years (at least back to Firefox 3.x), but no longer works with Firefox V6.0

    Nothing really, but... The firmware runs in a web browser. It's been working fine for years and no longer works since I got the latest version of Firefox. It does, however, still work in IE (V9) so I do have a way to use my existing hardware.
    I tried D-Link and Google search for any information about this, but came up empty. I was hoping that there might be similar problems with other software with Firefox 6.0.2 and someone might have a work-around or there might be a patch coming soon. At the very least, someone associated with Firefox might be interested that they've apparently broken something that used to work.

  • HP PSC 1315, Brother HL-2040 & D-Link DPG321 wireless print server

    Hi all...I've had the D-Link wireless print server for awhile, and originally had an ancient Samsung attached to it.
    Now though, the old Samsung printer is gone and I'm using the print server in my office with my new Brother HL-2040, which connected to my Mac effortlessly...super easy.
    The problem comes in hooking up my HP PSC 1315 AIO to the wireless print server's second port. I've read a ton of postings in the last couple of days indicating the HP driver won't support this, so I downloaded the hpijs driver.
    The Brother printer is hooked up to queue 1 (ps-5c714d-u1) per our documentation, and I'm trying to get the HP hooked up to queue 2 (ps-5c714d-u2), but absolutely nothing will print to it. One note - I'm not getting any error messages. When I pull up the printer to view the jobs, it looks like it's completed printing, so I'm not sure if it's stuck somewhere in the print server or what.
    The HP works fine when connected directly via USB to my MacBook Pro - so the issue isn't with the printer itself or the cabling.
    We CAN however, manage to print to the HP from our Windows XP desktop in the other room, interestingly enough.
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    No, I didn't. Originally when I was doing all my research, I thought I only had to download that if I had Mac OS 10.2 or below...in retrospect now I'm not sure why I thought that.
    I've now downloaded the file though, and have no idea what to do with it. In reading all of the installation info, I'm thinking it might just be easier to walk over to the printer and plug it into the USB port of my MacBook when I need to use it!
    Thanks for the suggestion...not sure I have the constitution to keep fighting the good fight on this.

  • Any Idears on how to use my D-Link Router with Print Server on my mac ?

    I just got recently a D-Link Router with Print Server.
    The Model is a DI-704UP. does anyone know how i can access the printer to my G5 ?
    talked to D-Link and Apple and they have no solution.
    IMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    According to this page on the D-Link website about your product, the router includes a print server for Windows and that the software is for Windows only.
    However, this page also on D-Link's website does offer you an unsupported solution.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Will a D-Link DP-301P+ print server work with an HPLaserJet 5MP

    Setup includes the following:
    HP LaserJet 5MP (90's model and this thing is a true workhorse!)
    Apple Airport Extreme wireless router
    Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 (OSX.4.11)
    iMac (OSX.6)
    Mac Mini (OSX.6)
    I purchased a D-Link DP-301P+ Fast Ethernet Print Server, with the intent to plug it into the printer's parallel port (36 pin) and then plugging an ethernet cable between the server and the wireless router.  The only catch is that in order to plug the server into the printer, I will have to dremel out a small portion of the exterior casing of the printer (this is on the back side so it won't be noticeable).  Thus my two questions......will this setup even work?  Are there any special software settings needed?  Thanks for helping out with this.

  • Wrt610n v2 usb links as a print server?

    Can the usb link on 610n be used as a print server (and not just for storage)? I know 160NL cannot be used for printing, so wondering if the 610n can.

    even with an alternative firmware? then what linksys router can be used in such a way? I mean if I connect my printer to it via usb, would I be able to print on it off my, say, wireless notebook?

  • Will D-Link DPR-1260 wireless print server work with Leopard?

    I am fairly new to Mac and have a HP Photosmart 7350 printer and would like to use this wirelessly with my new Imac with Leopard as well as my laptop with Windows XP.
    I know it will work with Windows but keep reading that print servers are not working well with Leopard and do not want to open the box if it will not work. I noticed on the D-link website that it says software is only supported on 10.2-10.4 systems.

    You have two issues going at once.
    Driver - There are two kinds of print driver on OS X (not like Windows) - Carbon and CUPS. CUPS drivers are required to use the standard network print protocols provided in OS X by the CUPS system - IP printing and Windows printing. But HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for non-postscript printers. They provide Carbon drivers where they have limited the driver to USB only. To get a CUPS driver for your model, install the 3 part hpijs:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    Print & Fax prefs setup -
    I call your attention to page 19 of the print server manual. Dlink simply has "no clue" about OS X. The easiest comm protocol for you is HP Jetdirect, which equals TCP/IP raw port 9100. That is for USB port 1 -- for the other USB ports you will need to use advanced setup in Print & Fax.
    So, plug the printer into USB port 1 and set up using IP printer > HP Jetdirect protocol, selecting your new hpijs driver.
    Good luck.

  • D-Link Wireless Print Server

    I have tried to set my MacBook Pro utilizing my D-Link DPR-1260 print server. I get the following warning when I try to use the setup wizard:
    Unsupported Operating System
    The Printer Setup Wizard supports only Windows XP/2000/98/ME operating systems. Your computer uses the MacIntel operating system.
    Troubleshooting Tips
    Refer to the documentation that came with your print server for printer setup instructions specific to your operating system.
    I have read and reread the printer manual and nowhere does it say anything about Mac setups. I have sent two e-mails to D-link and both have been ignored. The computer recognizes my HP and will print if attached to it. When I attach the printer to the server it will work wireless when I use a Windows based laptop and I really don't want to load Windows if I can get away with it. I have a D-Link wireless router and it works perfectly with the Mac.
    Ideas in lay language???

    Yes. Think this should be posted on the printing board. That said, I have a similar set up, D-Link wireless router and wireless print server.
    I found that I could not rely on Bonjour getting the printers to work. I suggest you take the following steps:
    1. Open the printer browser and click on add a new printer.
    2. Select the IP printer
    3. As the protocol select Line Printer Daemon
    4. Input the IP address for your wireless printer. I found I had to assign my print server a static address, which was 192.168.0.10
    5. Input the Queue. This is probably takes the form of something like "PS-xxxxxx-U1" where the x's are numbers and U1 represents the USB printer you've assigned to the U1 port when you set up the wireless print server.
    6. Select your printer at the bottom of the browser window and click Add.
    This is the only way I was able to get my HP's to print.

  • Need help getting my MacBook to work a with a D-Link print server

    I'm trying to set up my MacBook Pro running OS X Ver 10.4.11 to print to a HP PSC 2210 All in One printer attached to a D-Link DP-301U print server. I'm actualy a Windows user and set this up and it works fine on the Windows side. My brother in law here is the Mac user and I can't seem to get this going.
    I did install Gimp Print Ver 4.2 and the printer is listed as a support device at their website. But, the printer model doesn't appear in the list when I try and add the IP printer. I did try a LaserJet 4l driver and DeskJet 860c - they don't work. In the print queue, the status says "Network host '<IP address of D-Link> is busy; will retry in 30 seconds."
    Any ideas? D-Link support was horrible, claiming that they don't support Macs - despite what it says on the box.
    Any insights on next steps would be appreciated.
    TIA

    Thanks, Greg. GutenPrint lists it as a supported printer but as I said, I don't see it. I'll try the other site.
    There is some stuff on Macs at teh D-Link site, but its not verry useful. But, re: the queue, name it appears to me that the PS-<servername>-P1 convention comes from a print server with a parallel interface and this is the LPT port name. This is a USB printer and that's why we get the PSC2210 name which I think is the Windows name I gave the Printer. At any rate, the D-Link doc claims that you should leave the queue name blank for a single port server. I beleive that the issue is that this is not a postscript printer which hopefully I can get at the alternate site.
    I am curious why this is different on a Mac than in Windows. If the printer works if direct connected, why does the Mac OS need the special drivers to extend the connection through a network? I'm curious as I mooonlight setting up home networks and I don't want to be a "windows only" solution. Oh, and would this work on the Mac if I had selected an Apple print server or wireless router with printer port built in?
    Thanks again.

  • Lpr printing to Print Server (D-Link DP-G321)

    Am using a D-Link DP-G321 Print Server to make two printers available to home network of PCs and an iMac-10.3.9. The printers are an HP DJ 952C and Canon PIXMA iP8500. Printer Setup Utility is working fine, allowing an lpr connection to the hp printer queue, using the Apple supplied HP DJ 900 series driver. What I lack is a Canon PIXMA iP8500 driver. How is a Canon PIXMA iP8500 driver added to the list of supported printers.....

    Network printing requires a CUPS driver, like the Gimp-Print driver you used for the HP. Canon doesn't provide CUPS drivers and hasn't cooperated with the open source community, so no Canon newer than 6 yr old is supported with a free CUPS driver. You can buy a CUPS driver for the Canon from www.printfab.net.
    Good luck.

  • How to set up new MBP to use D-Link print server

    New to Mac.  MBP found 2 of my 3 printers right away.  Tried manually configuring the 3rd which is an older HP Laserjet 1320 connected via USB to a D-Link print server.  In Win you config using the IP address and port name.  Configuration appeared to work but nothing gets sent to printer.  If this is an easy fix I would like to go that route  but if the print server hardware is too old please suggest good alternative that will work for both Windows and Mac systems as I have both in the house.
    Thanks

    I was able to resolve this by rebooting the print server.

  • Creating Ejb link to another Weblogic server

    I am trying to create a EJB jndi link to another weblogic server from a weblogic
    server.
    Basically I have a web application that uses an EJB that is deploed on another
    weblogic server and I would like to connect to it.
    One way I can do is the remote lookup using the Hashtable and the context factory,
    something like this
    Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
    props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
    props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://localhost:7001/");
    Context context = new InitialContext(props);
    I used a jndi-link in resin previously, that did not require me to do a remote
    lookup and rather created a link at the server level and allowed me to do a direct
    InitialContext() lookup.
    <jndi-link>

  • Printing Thru D-Link Print Server?

    I have PC/Mac environment, and am having trouble with printing from my Mac. Both Macs are running latest OS X Leopard. Setup is:
    Epson Stylus Photo R280
    Canon Pixma IP90
    D-Link DPR1260 Print Server
    MacBook Air
    New MacBook Pro 2.5
    If I use the supplied Epson Driver, I cannot communicate with the printer
    If I use the Mac supplied driver for the R260 model (same driver according to Epson), I cannot communicate with printer.
    If I use the Mac supplied R260 Gutenprint v5.1.3, I can communicate and print a test page. But, the printer will not accurately reproduce photos. The photos come out with visible lines. How do I configure the Mac's to use the correct drivers.
    Of course the PC's can print a photo with out issues. I am kinda new to Mac, but
    have been working on PC's for quite a while.

    The standard Epson drivers will not work when printing to a network printer. They will only work when the printer is directly connected to the Mac via USB.
    You will need to use the Gutenprint drivers. There is a problem with OS X 10.5.x and the Gutenprint drivers that came with OS X 10.5.x. The printer driver defaults to Draft quality unless you select the resolution manually. This problem is fixed in later versions of Gutenprint. I would suggest that you download and install the latest version of the Gutenprint drivers v5.17 from _http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3_. The v5.0.2 drivers will also work fine.
