How to get Leopard to print to shared XP printer

Guys, I have a simple question that I can't understand why I can figure it out. I have an XP machine with a shared printer (it is not on a domain, just a workgroup) and I want to print to it with my MBP running Leopard. How do I set this up? In 10.4, it took about 2 min, but in 10.5, I have no idea. Any help would be great.
Thanks!

I think WWJD's suggestion is very good and should work -- have you tried it? More details are available here and here.
Otherwise, you need to share your printer in xp, and then in Leopard's Network section in system prefereces duplicate your default location and then change the wins zone to be the same as your xp box (e.g. HOME or WORKGROUP), go into Printers&Fax, click on Windows printer, pray that Leopard sees your shared printer, select it, and then pray again that it prints without giving you a connection refused message, at which point you will need to use the CUPS system that you tried to avoid in the first place. Or wait for 10.5.1, which some posters mentioned fixed this problem.
Good luck.

  • How to get existing (Dlink) printer servers working with Snow Leopard

    I have a new macbook. We have two existing Dlink 1260 print servers serving 3 Windows machines. Both connect to our network via CAT5, we have a Buffalo router and cable modem service. One print server has a HP inkjet ands the other has a Canon inkjet printer. I know the IP addresses (static) and TCP ports of the two print servers. Apple's support people told me they arent trained to help me on print servers.
    How does one install these print servers in Snow Leopard 10.6?? I am out of ideas other than Geek Squad :>(

    I would imagine you need to connect via IP, LPD, put the IP address of the server in for Address and the Port Name in for the Queue.
    You will need Postscript drivers for the printers, based on info on the D-Link site.

  • How to get consistent colour prints from different Macs?

    Hello Forum,
    we are unable to get consistent colour prints from the various Macs in our office. There is only one printer, and for the sake of this discussion only one PDF file to be printed. The Macs have various OSes, from 10.4.11 up to 10.9.5; most are Minis of one vintage or another.
    The printed results *should* IMHO be identical no matter which computer issues the "print" command, but they are far from that. Some computers print with a reddish tint, others with too little saturation or too much brightness (to put it in Photoshop terms).
    What exactly must we do to get identical results no matter which computer does the printing?
    Thanks in advance
    John
    p.s. May I just say what a ridiculous pain in the neck it is to have to choose from that list of purchasable Apple products aka communities? Some questions, like this one, do not belong in a single community or at least there is no community whose title describes our problem. I am uneasy filing it under "Mac Mini" because there is absolutely no reason to believe that the problem is a misbehaviour of *one* of our Minis. In the old days, when help was geared to users rather than to pushing the sale of further Apple products, there used to be forums with titles like "Printing problems".

    Thanks for the suggest, which didn't solve the problem — because it wasn't a Mac problem at all. Acrobat Reader was getting the colours wrong! Setting "Print as image" in the Print dialog extensions solved it.
    Resolved, case closed.

  • How to get colors to print correctly

    I've been creating some ads for print. I noticed that the solid colors in the ads (ie. boxes, vector logos...) are a lot different in print than they appear on screen. (For example, a "teal" comes out as a blue, and a "taupe" comes out as a green) I realize the difference has to do with the screen colors being RGB and print is CMYK. I design the ads in CMYK mode.
    So, what is the best way in Illustrator to get the printed color as close to the screen color as possible? Should I be using spot colors?
    I suppose the same question can be asked about designing logos in Illy. How do you select the appropriate colors so that they print as close to as they appear on screen?
    Thank you,
    Ron

    >There are two issues that have not been addressed. The quality of the monitor affects how colors are displayed. If you have a poor LCD, and slouch when you're using it, the viewing angles might throw off your color sense.
    Nobody reads post #5.
    >If you're doing big print runs, you might want a color test page shown to you before you print out a million copies.
    Hector, what you call a "color test page" is known as a
    contract proof here, and it's something on which you should
    absolutely insist, whether the print run is large or small. Once you sign off on the proof, it becomes the printer's responsibility to get the colors right. This is S.O.P.
    With unlimited budgets, an unlimited number of custom (e.g., Pantone) colors are possible. But even that road has bumps. Use too many colors and, aside from the expense, you're looking at multiple passes through the press with attendant potential registration problems. Plus, if your document contains photographic images, colors can come out wacky no matter how many Pantones you specify.
    CMYK is a real-world solution for those with cost constraints. It behooves the designer, therefore, to invest in a decent monitor and calibrator and take the time to understand modern profile-based color management.
    >The printer might be using a diffrent color profile
    Of course, they'll be using a different color profile
    if they know what they're doing. The standard SWOP profile you might use for your document, for example, is a
    generic profile. The printing company should be making a conversion to a custom profile that represents their output device, namely their particular printing press with the paper and inks in use.
    The entire point of your embedding a profile is to enable the output service provider to apply an appropriate device profile at press time without having to guess what the CMYK "numbers" (values) mean in your particular document.
    If they
    don't use a "different" profile, you're in trouble.

  • How to get my C309a printer to only use black ink cartridge?.

    I have changed my ink cartridges 3 times.  ALL of them.   I haven't had the printer for that long.  I only print TEXT so only BLACK INK. And not that much of it either.  SO why does all of the cartridges get used up?  I cannot find anything where you can adjust or fix this problem.  HELP as I don't have the money to keep buying all this ink.

    PTGillan wrote:
    [snip]   Decent thing to do would be to allow printer to do what they have done from time immemorial - print faded docs to give us time to get cartridges and avoid total failure.  Not a good or decent system.  Not a good way to treat customers.
    The Photosmart c309a does allow printing in black if a color ink is depleted - I have one here.  What is your printer model?
    HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs. 
    Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges.  These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example.  
    Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads.  An example would be the Officejet 6500 printers.  The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out.  Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
    Other printers have permanent printheads.  To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.  
    The document here has information on how ink is used.

  • How to get beyond the error installing Shared Technologies in Photoshop Elements 12

    I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on my Dell Precision Workstation T3400.  During the installation, I get the message 'The installation process has encountered an error while installing Shared Technologies.  In accordance with the online advice, I renamed the OOBE folder OOBE.bak and ran the installation again.  Once more it stopped while trying to install Shared Technologies although it had created a new OOBE folder.  I deleted the new OOBE folder and also deleted PDAppFlex.swf and PDAppFlex-app.xml but agin the installation sopped when trying to install Shared Technologies.  I looked at the installation log file but found no reference to 'error' of 'fatal'.  I then tried moving all installation files from the DVD to the system drive but again installation stopped at Shared Technology installation.  I seem to have exhausted the website information .  How do I get over this Shared Technologies blockage?  Many thanks.  Glenn

    Hi,
    Thanks for the update.
    If you can scan with the HP software then at least we know the system can see the scanner.
    Can you try the organizer to see if that works any differently. Once you load the organizer, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences -> Scanner - see if that sees it.
    Since you are on Elements 12, you still have the twain option available to try. See the following document which describes moving the twain driver.

  • How to get Leopard ssh agent to work if you previously used "SSH Agent" App

    Hi Everyone,
    I had previously been using the *SSH Agent* application from http://www.phil.uu.nl/~xges/ssh/ and wanted to get rid of it and use the built-in support for ssh-agent in Leopard.
    However, it didn't work. Doing "env | grep SSH" it would show /tmp/501/nl.uu.phil.SSHAgent.socket and ssh'ing from a terminal window would request your passphrase every time. Executing ssh-agent would say "no agent is running." Even deleting the *SSH Agent* app and rebooting, it would still have this phil socket.
    The solution is to use terminal, go to your home directory, cd to .MacOSX and look and see if there's an environment.plist file. In there will be some XML to set this persistent string for SSHAUTHSOCK. You need to take that out. If there's other stuff in the file, like a CVSHOME entry, hand-edit the XML to take out the SSHAUTHSOCK entry. (How to do that is beyond the scope of this post.) If the only thing is that entry, just delete the environment.plist file.
    Afterwards, reboot, or maybe just log out and log back in, open a terminal window, and you should be able to ssh out and the system will start ssh-agent behind your back and find your .ssh/id_dsa file or whatever.
    Karl

    The man page for ssh-agent provides the following documentation:
    -a bind_address
    Bind the agent to the unix-domain socket bind_address. The
    default is /tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXXXX/agent.<ppid>.
    The system ssh-agent's startup arguments are in /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist so you could add something like the following to array that defines the ProgramArguments:
    <string>-a</string>
    <string>/whatever/the/path/is/that/you/want/to/have</string>
    Note that since these mods are being done in /System, they could be wiped out by any system update. You could try making a copy of the file and putting the copy in /Library/LaunchAgents; perhaps files in that directory take precedence over files in /System. Certainly, stuff in /Library shouldn't be wiped out by a system update, though.

  • How to get Leopard's new visualizers into Tiger?

    Leopard's version of iTunes has some great extra visualizers like Jelly and Stix.
    I still run iTunes on my old mac which won't take a leopard upgrade. Does anyone know if it's possible to get these new visualizers into Tiger somehow?

    Leopard keeps its visualizers in /System/Library/Compositions/
    Tiger, I believe, keeps it in /(yourusername)/Library/Compositions
    find the one you like from leopard and copy it to tiger and see if itunes recognizes it. you'll have to restart itunes if it was already open.
    they are all quartz compositions (.qtz), and since quartz composer got an upgrade with leopard i'd say you're lucky if any work.

  • How to get illustrator to print like photoshop

    Currently running on CC, printing to HP z6800. Majority of the company uses ai files. however, when printing from illustrator, it will not match the colors, and becomes super saturated. however, if I import it to photoshop, it is true to color. Please help! I have matched color profiles and ideally it should all be the same when it comes out.
    Dinh Tran
    OSX 10.9.5
    2x2.4ghz Quad Core Intel
    32gb ram
    Adobe CC (2014)

    We are using a PS drive that is built in with the printer, and letting the printer determine the colors.
    Color settings are perceptual on both ai and ps since if we go relative color metric,and letting ai determine the colors,  it gets even more neon.

  • How to get my photos printed with the full image?!

    I just bought iLife and when I select certain cropped photos to print, the top of someone's head gets cut off in the the photo. If I change sizes of prints or rotate the photo, it cuts off different amount of head but never gives the full image. I did not have this problem with iphoto before I installed this new version. I need to have access to printing photos. I use Canon MP500, ibook G4 and Airport Express for wireless printing. I think the prob is iLife cuz it didn't do this before in iPhoto and I have no prob with other applications. Help!!!!!!

    Select the photo you want to print, and click on Edit. Then click on Crop, and a drop-down menu will appear. Use this menu to select the photo size that you want to print. Then use the cropping frame to get the photo the way you want. It is important to select the correct size of the printed photo because the ratios of length to width are not the same from one size to another. For example, a 4 x 3 is closer in shape to a square than is a 5 x 7. You might have to try different photo sizes from the drop-down menu to get he result you want.

  • How to get sqlplus to print the current date/time

    From a unix command line I can type:
    prompt> date; <any_Cmd>; date
    This will result in a timestamp being output before and after the command you inserted. Is there a way to make sqlplus print the current date/time after it is done executing an sql statment. This would be useful for me to know how long it took to execute and sql statement without watching it.
    Something like:
    SQL> select * from table; date;

    u cld set the following statements in sql*plus :
    sql>set time on
    sql>set timing on
    hope this solves ur problem.
