How can I configure a printer which is connected to a Windows PC

How can I configure a printer which is connected to a Windows PC.
I have a I-Mac with OSX lion ver 10.7.2 installed.
The printer is a Canon IP4200.

The first thing you need to ensure is that the printer is being shared by Windows. Hopefully you know how to do that but if not, reply with the version of Windows you are using.
With the printer shared by Windows you then add the printer on the iMac by opening Print & Scan and clicking the plus button under the Printers list. With the Add Printer browser displayed you can select the Windows icon. A window appears showing three columns. The first column is for the workgroup name. You may already see a names here such as Workgroup or MSHome. Selecting the workgroup the Windows computer is using will then show the computer name. And selecting the computer name will show the shared printer, although you may need to enter your Windows user name and password to see this printer share. Select this printer share name will then let you select the printer driver to be used on the Mac. Note that you will not be able to use Canon's driver for this, as it is not designed to work with a shared printer from Windows. Instead you will need to download and install Gutenprint. This will provide you with another iP4200 printer in the Print Using menu and this version will let you print via the Windows share.
If you don't see the workgroups on your local network or the computer name, or something else does not function as described above then please reply with details of what is not happening.

    How can I download Photoshop CS5 which I bought for a Windows PC onto my Mac as the second computer?

    It's not possible. Serial numbers are platform specific. Even if you install the CS5 trail version, it won't activate with your PC serial. Your only option is to upgrade to Creative Cloud.

  • HT4356 How can I configure the printer to print only grey tones from my iPad 2? Printer=Hp6520

    How can I configure printer with iPad to print only grey tones? This works fine from my laptop - not air printing from that one though.  I can't find anywhere on the iPad how to do printer settings and this also seems not to be available as an option when doing a printout.  In fact, no options seem to be available.  Thanks in advance for reacting!

    There is currently no option for this. You can give Apple feedback here:

  • How can i check the devices which are connected with my AirPort Express?

    I saw an unknown device in the app 'Who Uses My Wifi?', how can i check it through AirPort Utility and can i remove this device by the app?

    Open AirPort Utility
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double click the picture of the AirPort router
    Currently connected wireless ciients will be displayed
    Don't forget about the wireless printer you might have, baby monitor, wireless thermostat and other items that connect using wireless. They will appear on your check.....not just computers or iPhones, etc.
    If you have 3 wireless devices, and you see 4 devices connected, you may have an unwanted guest.
    If you are using good wireless security, like WPA2 Personal, and a good password, it is extremely unlikely that another device will be on your network

  • How can I find my printer's ip connected (ethernet cable) to a time capsule which is in network extending mode ?

    I got a network printer connected to a Time Capsule which extends my wireless home network. But I can't manage to find out it's IP address nor i manage to find it on the network ! Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a way to tell Time Capsule which is the IP of the network printer ?
    Hope somebody can help me out !

    Most printers can print their status page.. on the status page is the current IP. I personally don't buy network printers that don't have a small LCD with enough menu to set things like IP address. And reveal the current IP.
    Is the printer set to dhcp? If so it will get an IP from the TC.
    Apple removed useful aspects of the old v5 utility which would give you a listing off all IP addresses passed out by the TC or connected to it.
    You can however do a netstat scan from your computer.
    In finder type in network utility into the search (apple have hidden it in a stupidly obscure location)
    In network utility run a netstat scan which should pick up the printer.
    One aspect of this, is that if the printer is in a deep sleep, power saving mode.. you may not pick it up.. certainly you should make sure the printer is awake and ready to run.. even if you need to reboot it.
    There will be a problem if the printer is manually set to the wrong IP range.. then it won't come up at all. To fix that you will need to actually read the printer manual.. and find out how to reset it to its defaults and start again.

  • How can I configure an airport express to connect extra speakers to those on my Apple TV?

    Hi,
    I'm using a net gear router to play music on speakers connected to my tv via Apple TV. I want to set up another set of speakers upstairs mot play the same music throat the house. Can I connect another set of speakers to the airport express and have all speakers running in harmony? any advice gratefully received!
    Cheers, Dean

    You can connect (up to five practically) AirPlay Speakers and stream to them simultaneously from a single iTunes host. Your Apple TV would be one of those AirPlay Speakers.
    Each additional AirPlay Speaker would be configured to join the existing wireless network. For additional details on configuring an AirPort Express for AirPlay, please see the following Apple Support article.

  • FAX through HP laser jet 3050 which is connected on a Windows Network. I m also connected to this Network and i print through HP LJ 3050. How can i sent fax through HP LJ 3050?

    HOW can i sent FAX through HP laser jet 3050 which is connected on a Windows Network.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Apparently there is no HP software support for the HP 3050 fax or scan functions with OS X 'Lion' 10.7:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02950970 #A1
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c0292511 4
    Alternatives?
    1) Run a Windows client on the Mac using Boot Camp or one of the available virtualization programs like Parallels, VMware Fusion, and others so you can run the latest Windows print/fax/scan driver.
    2) If your Mac hardware supports an older OS X version, downgrade to one (Snow Leopard?) that still had support for print, fax and scan.
    3) Buy a newer printer. A 2007 model is 5+ years old, and should now be fully depreciated in a business.

  • How do I Configure Desktop Printer to scale to fit?

    I love the feature of drag and drop printing and I often need to print many pdfs. However when I drag pdfs to the desktop printer icon it prints them on letter sized paper without scaling them to fit. I have configured the printer in the setup utility to print on tabloid but it still prints on letter with no scaling. How can I configure the desktop printer to scale to fit and select paper size? booya

    Hi Daniel, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Doesn't your printer have a setting for the default size in it rather than just on the Mac?
    What size are these in the first place?
    I think the secret is to save the Tabloid size as a Default, but I don't have a Tabloid to test with, so I used Preview, (which you may end up having to use to drop on or Script to, dunno yet).
    I made a new Page size of Tabloid...
    Then saved as default...
    You'll have to test this... not even sure it works to Scale to Size, but at least you could drop them on Preview then +p to see.

  • How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected (on non-Storage-Spaces volumes where data integrity streams are enabled)?

    According to William Stanek, in his Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out: Configuration, Storage & Essentials book, this is apparently possible: (pg. 615 - here it is on Google Books: https://books.google.ca/books?id=0IyfBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT819&lpg=PT819&dq=read+operation )
        Integrity can be enabled when the system is not running on Storage Spaces. When
        integrity is enabled and ReFS detects a checksum mismatch, ReFS logs an event and
        fails the read operation by default. If you don’t want the read operation to fail, you
        can configure ReFS to continue with the read operation. A related event will be logged
        regardless.
    So then how do I configure it to do that???
    (And just to make it super-clear, I'm NOT using Storage Spaces, so there is no redundancy via mirroring/parity, and I'm not expecting any file repair - just detection of corruption. It's just a basic volume formatted with ReFS and
    with integrity streams enabled, via format E: /fs:ReFS /i:enabled
    For those who want more details, here's the situation: 
    I try to perform a read operation on a file with corrupted data (purposely done for testing using a low-level disk editor), I get a the following error message:
    And an event ID 133 from ReFSv1 gets logged in the System log:
    Clicking "Try Again" just brings up the same message, and clicking "Skip" skips the operation entirely.
    This is indeed the correct default behaviour.
    What I want instead is for the read operation to be allowed to complete, with corrupt data and all, and ONLY for the event to be logged. And according to William Stanek, this is supposed to be configurable somewhere - and after hours of searching, I haven't
    been able to find anything.

    Hi Tommy,
    >>How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected
    We can use PowerShell command Set-FileIntegrity to configure this. The specific parameter for controlling this behavior is
    -Enforce <Boolean>which indicates whether to enable blocking access to a file if integrity streams do not match the data.  
    Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to as reference.

  • How can i configure STMS with out physical systems

    Dear Experts ,
    please solve my doubts
    here i installed one system in AIX and named it as DEV system in that system i need to perform post-installaion Activities
    and i started some activities also
    presently my doubt is in STMS configuration
    here i have only one system (DOMINE CONTROLLER) and we need to other systems while configuration but we dont have other systems like quality and production how can i configure that systems in my landscape
    this is my first implementation Experience please suggest me with some valuable suggestions
    my doubts:
    while creating systems we need to take for virtual systems or Extended systems
    which transport routes can i prefer for Dev to Qly systemand also Qly to Prd
    please reply me
    Regards

    Hi,
    If you have decided the SID's of the QUA and PRD systems then you can configure TMS with the virtual systems. Here are the steps to do so.
    Login to the domain controller
    Execute tcode STMS
    Goto the menu overvie --> systems (Shift+F6)
    SAP SYStems --> Create --> Virtual system
    Enter the SID and description and then save ur entries.
    Now the new virtual system will be created. Do the above for the others systems in the landscape.
    Again execute STMS and then click SHIFT+F7. You will goto the transport route window. Now you can configure TMS for the systems in the list as usual.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I configure NI PCI 6221 and DAQ SCB-68 for pressure sensors?

    Hello
    everybody,
    I am using the measuring board (NI PCI 6221) and DAQ
    SCB-68 for the data acquisition.
    With the DAQ-Assistant I created AI for the voltage of
    pressure sensors. In a big indicator panel from this DAQ-Assistant I see the
    voltage for both sensors in the correct size. But if I set sensors in the
    blockdiagramm to control the signals for sensor one I get a wrong voltage size
    and for sensor 2 nothing.
    How can I configure this data acquisition equipment to
    get the correct signals?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    I do not know the type of sensor you are using. But pressure transducers may have a very low output voltage(in the mVolt range). They also need an excitation voltage. Here is an introduction. http://focus.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/an/sloa034/sloa034.pdfThen working with pressure sensors I always use 3 stages in the circuit.
    1 Instrumentation Amplifier as a preamp
    2 filterstage
    3 Final amp and output buffer
    (you may combine stage 2 and 3)
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • How can we configure or control records go into single idoc thru BODS?

    Hi,
    Our case is -
    IDOC format has three segment. Each segments has child nodes -
    1. CONTROL SEGMENT - This is required only once per idoc.
    child1
    child2
    2. SEGMENT1 - sinlge source record to be broken into two segments.
    child1
    child2
    3. SEGMENT2 - sinlge source record to be broken into two segments.
    child1
    child2
    we have a single source (lest say having 100 records).
    In the current design which does generates IDOCS but as many as the no of records in source. Currently we use a row generation transform as dummy (with row count as 1) to pass to the IDOC parent nodes's from clause to escape the error - invalid input to the parent nodes.
    Child nodes are either mapped to the source table or are null.
    Question - How can we configure this in a way that we control how many records go into single idoc. Ex - lets say 50 per idoc so only 2 idoc should be created if 100 records are there.

    HI,
    this sounds to me like Data Services. If so I would suggest to post this into the Data Service forum.
