HOW! Macbook + Macbook Pro And A WGPS606 Netgear Print Server

Hi there, having a spot of bother, lol
I have a pc laptop and 2 mac laptops.
set the print server up with pc laptop, and it works a treat, no problems! thou i did conenct 1printer and its in port 2, but following the instructions on the web i changed everything where necessary and pc lappy works a treat.
Now the macs.
1stly i installed the printer to work with a usb lead and it works on them both fine.
Then
I followed the instructions available from http://kbserver.netgear.com/kbwebfiles/N101570.asp
and when i get to select the printer type and model, the one i'm wanting to setup isnt listed, even thou its installed, and when you use the autodetect it comes up with a generic somet or other that doesnt work.
How do i get my printer listed or where do i find the file containing the driver info?
Ive seen a few of these problems crop up, but never the answers,
any help would be greatly apreciated!

Do you have a postscript printer? - otherwise this is going to be a two-step problem.
Driver - Only CUPS drivers can use OS X's built-in network printing protocols. (postscript printers don't need a driver, just a PPD) Of all the non-postscript manufacturers, only Brother is making CUPS drivers available at this time. (Apple included Gimp-Print drivers because they are CUPS drivers - a limited number of printers are supported)
For the others, you need a third-party CUPS driver from these sources:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
http://www.printfab.net/
http:/www.easysw.com/printpro/
Next - print server setup. Since the Windows setup software doesn't work on OS X, we need to find the setup details ourselves. Your print server probably supports a couple of protocols- LPD, maybe IPP, and HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw in most manuals). LPD and IPP require that you enter the print server's queue name in Printer Setup. Find the Queue name in the manual. L1, P1 and lp are common queue names.
Good luck.

Hi, G.
Have you enabled AppleTalk in the System Preferences > Network > Show: AirPort > AppleTalk tab?
I'd recommend posting your question on one of the AirPort & AirPort Express Discussions as that's where the experts on third-party wireless routers tend to be found. Try searching that Discussion first as it is very likely someone has already asked about the Linksys device you cited.
I agree with sig that you should provide complete details about your Mac, AirPort card, the printer, and the exact model of the Linksys device.
Good luck!

I am using a MacBook Pro and am trying to print double sided copies on the HP Deskjet 3054 that came with it. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I am using a MacBook Pro and am trying to print double sided copies on the HP Deskjet 3054 that came with it. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I am a total MacBook nube and can use any help you may offer! Thank you so much.

How you enable double-sided printing can depend on the applications from whick you wish to print. Example: if I print to my HP PhotoSmart from Safari, I get this print dialog box:
(Edit: OOPS! Note that I forgot to switch printers when i took the scene-shots, so ignore the "Brother" reference. It's should look the same for your HP.
Note the selection labled "Safari" near the bottom. If I change that form "safari to "Layout: I get this:
Note the option for two-sided printing appears for your selection. If I print from Word, the box is different:
The "Copies & Pages" option can be changed to "Layout" when you click it, again allowing the selection of two-sided printing.
If you tell us what applciaiton is vexing you, we may be able to give better-focused information.

I have a Macbook Pro and a HP 5510 printer. And suddenly a problem printing.

I have a Macbook Pro, fully updated et cetera, and a HP 5510 printer, with all the updates as well. When I lived in my old place, I never had a significant problem getting the computer and the printer to work together. But I moved in January and even since then I haven't been able to successfully print anything. I've run every diagnostic on the printer, and it is connected to the right wireless network. The macbook pro is connected to the same wireless network, but will not connect to the printer.
Of course at first I blamed it on the printer, but since January I've been trying everything - I even got a friend to bring over her Macbook pro, and it connected and printed just fine. So obviously this is a problem with the computer.
So what can I do?
Terribly sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, but I've been searching and no one that I've found has the same, or similar enough, situation going on.
Thank you, and help me please!

I have a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to connect it to my Dell AIO 948 printer. However, I know Mac and Dell are not compatible and I know I have to download some sort of compatible software, but I have no idea where to begin with that! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, I need to get this connected as soon as possible! I am a college student and I already have homework that needs to be printed!
Thank you in advanced!

Printing from macbook pro and iPad using same printer

Have a macbook pro and an ipad. Can print from either using my epson XP-310 but not from both without resetting settings for whichever device I wasn't printing from . Is there a way to set up my Epson 310 wifi so it can see both devices and let either ipad or macbook pro print vs having to switch settings back an forth?

I have a macbook pro and aphotosmartD110 wireless printer. I was told that if I install the printer software on my computer, it will no longer print wirelessly. Is that true and how do I scan wirelessly without loading in the software?

I have a macbook pro and a photosmart D110 printer. I was told that if I load the software for the printer onto my mac that it will no longer print wierlessly. Is that true and how can I scan wirelessly without loading the software? Also, can I just connect my mac to the printer with a cable and scan or do I need that software loaded onto the mac? Thanks for all help!

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly.
