How to print from a macbook to a shared printer hook up to pc

Hi,
How I could be able to print wireless from my macbook to a shared printer hook up to a pc. The printer is a DELL 1320C and the pc is a DELL Inspiron. Please help me out with this issue. I do all my stuffs in my mac and when I to print my job, I get a nightmare.

As long as you have a wireless router connected to your Dell and the printer is set as a shared printer...Just go and print a document and it will ask you what printer you want to use. Use finder to locate the printer from your Dell as it should show up under "shared". I think thats all i had to do when i had a Sony Vio and wanted to print from my MacBook. (You may need to log in as a guest to gain access to the printer.) Its been a while having since upgraded to a new iMac.

Printing from wireless MacBook to iMac shared printer

I have an HP PSC 2350 connected to an iMac in my office. I am using my MacBook via a Linksys router, in another room, and would like to print to the PSC 2350. The iMac and printer are turned on - but the printer does not appear on the MacBook. Something simple, I'm sure - but I need a little help! Thanks!

I have had a similar issue. First I plugged the printer into my macbook and made sure I could print directly to the printer. After this worked, I tried printing via the wireless network. Things work with this caveat. When I print for the first time after starting up the macbook and select print from an application ( say MS Word,) I have to select 'add printer' under 'printer' in the dialogue box. It searches a little bit and then the shared printer shows up. After this is shows up as an available printer until I restart my computer.

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.

Trouble printing from a MacBook to a network printer wirelessly

I have a Samsung printer connected to a Windows 7 machine and am attempting to print from a MacBook. I try the usual AdvancedWindows+SMB-addressShare-name technique. When I go to print, the MB asks for My Username and password for the W7 box. Upon entering the information, I receive an NTSTATUS_CONNECTIONREFUSED message and no printing takes place.
Curiously, a Mac mini (10.5.8 also) which is connected to the network by wire (the MB is connected wirelessly) prints just fine to the same printer using the same configuration.
Does Anyone have any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue? Can Anyone point Me in the direction of documentation which could help?
Thanks in advance.

I figured out the answer using this excellent Web page: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3000.html.
The problem was that when I used the "Wizard" on the PC to install the shared printer, it picked the Deskjet driver by default. But the iMac needs to get the printer data in Postscript, which its own driver then translates into Deskjet speak. So after creating the printer on the Thinkpad I had to go into its Properties and change to the Apple Color Laserwriter driver.

Printing From My Macbook to My WinXp Printer

I just bought a brand new Black Macbook for myself (which I love!) but I have seem to run into a little issue with Network Printing.
I have a Hp PSC1350 All-In-One on my Hp Pavilion desktop downstairs and I would like to be able to print from my Macbook to that printer.
Can someone please provide me with instructions with network printing on a mac and how to set it up? Thanks!

First - driver. The driver provided by HP was written to support direct USB printing ONLY. If your model is compatible with the PSC 1300 or 1310, you can use the hpijs + ghostscript driver set:

Next - setup. Follow this guide:

Printing from linux machine to Mac shared printer?

I have a brand new Brother MFC 6800 that is connected to my Mac (10.4.4) via USB. I have a Linux box at home (Mandriva 2006), and I'd like to be able to print through the network to this printer.
I've been searching the web for instructions for how to set up CUPS and/or SMB to allow me to print this way, but have only come up with a few tangential references. Almost everything I've found is how to print from a Mac to a Linux print server. I want to do the opposite.
I'm handy enough with Un*x to edit config files, but not handy enough to know what to put in there. I'd appreciate anyone who can point me to a site that might show me how to do it.

Hi Chris,
   I've not done this with a Mac but CUPS is CUPS. Open the /etc/cups/client.conf file on your Linux machine and change the ServerName line to point to your Mac. That may be all you have to do because the Mac's CUPS automatically adds the local printer for you. You may have to define a queue for it; I'm not sure but I don't think so. Also, you will probably have to authorize it on the Mac. The /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file on the Mac should have a line in it that look like:
Listen <Mac_IP>:631
where <Mac_IP> should be replaced by the IP address of your Mac, (not 127.0.0.1) and similarly for <Linux_IP> below. Such a line should already exist for 127.0.0.1. Just copy-and-paste in a new copy of this line and change the IP address. Inside the definition of root directory you similarly may need to add an "Allow From" statement:
<Location />
   Allow From <Linux_IP>
</Location>
The directory definitions are modeled on similar definitions in Apache's httpd.conf file. There may be more that is necessary; I'll see if I can find more specific information that I've saved. If you have to do more, please post it to this thread so that there is complete documentation for others. Of course a consistent configuration depends on having static IP addresses on your local network.
   I'm not really surprised that you didn't find much if you searched for strings including Mac or Apple; this is a purely UNIX question. The CUPS administration documentation can be found online at cups.org or even on your own machine at http://localhost:631/ or on your drive in the /usr/share/doc/cups directory.

Printing from Windows 8 to a shared printer on a Windows 7 machine

WE have a a user that has a laser printer on A windows 7 machine that others in the office can access EXCEPT the one person on a Windows 8 machine. We have tried everything, but cannot get her to print to this printer. Says it cannot be found. What does
Windows 8 need to see a printer on a Win 7 workstation. She does have access to network printers and her own.
Thanks.

We have the same kind of problem but a bit different.
Dell Printer (used for years shared on a network) was moved to our Windows 7 machine plugged in via USB. We only use a plain workgroup with no Domain as we also have Macs on the network.
I have Macs using shared printer, a Windows XP using the shared printer, and even Windows 7 under Parallels on the Macs using the shared printer no problem.
I had the lone Windows 8 laptop using the shared printer but then it just stopped working. So I deleted it and now when I try to add it is want credentials and none work. It will not connect to the shared printer on the Windows 7 machine.
I have Windows 7 (which also has a couple shared drives that do work) set for No Homegroup and No Password for sharing - pretty much open as we are behind a Cisco Firewall to the outside. No firewalls on the pcs.
Not sure where to go from here...

I am trying to print from my macbook pro to my printer ricoh mp 2851?

So i can connect my printer and everything is successful, but when i try to print out something it keeps saying the job is paused. Why is that? I NEED HELP!!!!

The information below will help you troubleshoot your printing issue. If the printer is not showing up in the Printer and Scanner preferences, you may need to add it again.

Replace a corrupted printer queue window
Open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Printer & Scanner preferences), then delete and set up your printer again.
If you still can’t print, reset the printing system.
I hope this information helps ....

How do you setup a canon mp620 to print from a Macbook Pro?

How can i print from my MacBook Pro with a canon mp620 printer? I have the printer setup with a PC via USB and want to add the MacBook as a new computer and print wirelessly. I have tried the installation cd and updated drivers from canon website but it still wont work.

I have managed to get my working. Firstly, I googled the CUPS drivers for the printer and then downloaded those from canons website. I then went to print and scan in system preferences and noticed that the printer had appeared there. I believe it was those drivers that made the difference but i was fiddling for hours before that so i cant be 100% sure how i got it to work.

Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.
