How to print from a Mac to a PC by WiFi

I have a printer (Canon MF6530) connected to a PC Windows XP ServicePack3, i want to know, how can i print from my mac (MacBook Black Intel Core 2 Duo(/Lion)) to the PC by using WiFi, i´ve been trying several times, made my research and cant make it. I don´t know how can i use the PC´s IP, in order to connect the computers. Beside i don´t understand the difference between the Options IP and Windows when i try to install the printer in my mac.

It should show up in the available printers list when you select the "+" button in the Print & Fax section of System Preferences then. If it doesn't you can try selecting the IP pane and entering the IP address of the PC and use either LPD or IPP.
Sorry, if it's still not working I would have to say "I don't know."
Best of luck.

I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

I have purchased a new printer. It is the same make as my old printer. How do I remove the old printer from my Mac?

you could see if that make of printer has an uninstaller (may come with the installer)
or go to preferences, print and fax, and press the minus key ( - ) which should maybe remove it. Or ,do a a find, then type in the make of printer, and anything that looks like a printer driver for that make, well, maybe it's gotta go
just an idea

Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

How do i print from my mac book using printer connected to my Imac

I am trying to print from my Mac book by using the printer connected to my Imac however i keep getting a notice which says
Authentication required.what am i missing? I set them up to share printing but something is wrong

Before trying to figure out if I can help or not, a bit more specific information is needed:
1. You list an iMac G5 in your profile - is that the iMac you are using? In that case, you'd get more knowledgeable answers in the G5 forums (this is an Intel iMac forum). If you have an Intel, please give more details (model, etc).
2. What model/make printer? Does it have wireless capabilities?
3. What model/make router? Or are you simply trying to use the built in Airport from your iMac? In that case, do you have printer sharing enabled on both machines? If so, did you create a network? For detailed info on that, use the Help Menu in Finder and type in Network - one of the subjects available will be "creating a computer-to-computer network". It contains instructions on how to create it including a password (authentication).
You might also try to use the search function on this forum and type in "printer sharing". There are many threads, some of which might be useful to you.

How to print from mac to windows 7 printer?

I have a wireless home network with a workgroup where I share the Canon MF4150 printer with networked pc's. PC's print just fine.
Just got a MacBook Pro and I cannot get the darn thing to print.
I have connected the printer directly to the Mac and it prints fine.
When I try to print from the Mac across the network, I get: "Canon UFR II Printer Driver - Connection Method not supported.: -9786"
This seems to be so basic, yet after an hour with phone support the best I got was contact Canon or Microsoft. Heck they'll just say it's a Mac problem.
Suggestions??

Unable to print from my Mac system, but my other computers work

Have you encountered a problem printing from your Mac computer and it seems to work from everything else?
I have looked at several posts regarding to printing from a Mac. PrintDoc seems has a solution that can resolve most of the printing issues from Mac when other devices work.
1. Reset the printing system by clicking on Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system and following the steps exactly. This will reset just the printing system back to a fresh start. This works for 10.5 to 10.7.
2. Download and install the driver package Apple has here. This driver package will work for most HP printers. There is a link at the bottom of the driver page to verify that your printer is included. If it is not, check HP's support and drivers page at www.hp.com to download the right driver package for your printer.
This will resolve printing issues on Mac systems when the problem is isolated to the Mac.

If I can print to a wireless printer from my Mac, wouldn't it seem like I could print from my iPad mi I and iPhone 5?

I cannot print from my iPhone5 nor my iPad mini, to a wireless HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m. I can print from my Mac book pro. Is it my settings or the printer that is not set up correctly?

First check to see if its airprint enabled, it will be listed in the first article link. If not, then there are other options listed below.

Anyone know how to print from Win2K or WinXP to shared printer on iMac?

Help! Anyone know how to print from Win2K or WinXP to shared printer on iMac? I have a new IMac hosting a Canon iP4300, a pc running W2K & a pc running WXPsp2. All computers recognize each other and the iP4300 on the network and can share files. All Mac "Windows Sharing" & "Printer Sharing" preferences sre set correctly. Apple says the printer must be configured on the Windows computers as an SMB/CIFS network printer using a Postscript driver. I can find lots of pages on the net telling me I what needs to be done, but nothing stating how to do it. All the info I've found is either overly simplistic and or relates to the 10th dang of enterprise server administration. Would VERy much appreciate any help at all.

Can i print from my mac to a win 7 printer?

I have done a search and was unable to find the answer to my question. I have tried to figure out how to print from my MBP to my wifes printer that is attached to her windows 7 computer. I am able to print to that printer over the network with a windows computer but not my mac.
Does anyone know how to get this done or if it is even possible?

Printing from your Mac to a printer attached to a WIndows 7 printer can indeed be done.
It use to be quite easy under Windows XP or even Vista, But Microsoft changed the SMB code in Windows 7, making it more of a headache.
Here is how to share your Windows 7 printer:

Printing from a Mac to a Windows XP printer through a wireless router

I have searched through many posts and still cannont come up with an answer.
I have a Lexmark X5100 printer connected to an XP PC in my home. My iMac is recieving internet wirelessly from a router connected to the PC. I am trying to figure out how to print from my iMac to the printer connected to the PC. I have turned on printer sharing on the PC and the Mac, and when I go to the Printer Setup Utility>Add Printer>More Printers>Windows Printing>mshome, it gives me a list of printers, but none of these printers is the one that I want to print to.
I have also tried windows printing via SAMBA, but the printer driver is not listed in the menu, even though I installed it from the internet.
Am I able to print to this printer wirelessly, or is this just an impossible task?
iMac 2 GHz 20' Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2 GB RAM

I just went thru this with an HP Wireless Printer 6980. I had to originaly set up the printer with Windows. Once I had the windows machine working wirelessly with the printer ; I installed the software that came with the printer to the iMac. After the software was successfully installed ; I went to Utilities , and Printer set-up Utility and the iMac found the wireless printer and all I had to do was add it to the list at that point. It can work .... but it did take some trial and error to get it working. Good Luck !!

I can't print from my Mac wirelessly

I have to use the cord to print from my Mac. But surprisingly others in my home can print to the HP Office Jet Pro 8600. What gives?

Hi MaryEtta, and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are having issues printing. I would like to help.
I am including a document to help determine whch version of the Mac OS you are using:
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a Drivers.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
