How to print from  network

I have a printer connected to an Imac, I bought a Macbook pro now also. I can't get the printer to print from the Macbook pro on a network (wireless). I have the Imac set to share and can get it to show up on the Macbook but cannot find the drivers for it. I downloaded the newest drivers from the Canon website and tried again, but it finds the printer but never prints. Do I have to put the entire program from the printer on the Macbook or do I need just the drivers. They do not show up in the list when it asks for the printer drivers. Canon IP6600D,

According to the web site at Canon I see that they released a new driver in November which would be newer than the one that was included in the OS, is this the one you installed?
iP6600D Printer Driver Ver. 4.8.3 (Mac OS X)
ip6600dosx483ej7.dmg
Photo Inkjet Printers - Photo Inkjet Printers - PIXMA Pro Professional Inkjet Printers - Photo Printer - PIXMA iP6600D - Canon USA Consumer Products

You need to include more information about your network before someone can help you set it up. "I have an imac I want to share printers with" is not enough info.
Since this is an ip printer I might assume that you have the printer connected via firewire or ethernet to the imac.
The imac is then connected wirelessly to what make and model of wireless router or modem?
Direct connecting the printer to the computer and seeing if the driver is recognized and can print will tell you if you have the right driver.
Trying to set it up in reverse will tell you if it is the wireless network, since the imac obviously can print to the printer and recognizes it.
You can also set up a computer to computer wireless network in the airport menu to see if it is the router.

  • How to print from iPhone 3GS with OS 4.2.1?

    Hello,
    I have searched and read through the discussion forums, but I'm not sure I understand how to print from my iPhone.
    In reading the manual for the iPhone 3GS, specifically on page 44, it says the following:
    AirPrint uses your Wi-Fi network to send print jobs wirelessly to your printer. iPhone must be connected to the same wireless network as the AirPrint printer.
    My HP printer (Officejet Pro L7555) is plugged into my Airport Express so that I can do wireless printing. (I am also using an Airport Extreme for the WiFi network in my house).
    When I have, for example, an email on my iPhone that I am reading, if I tap the "reply" button, I do see the "Print" option appear. When I tap on "Print", it brings up a screen where it says, "Select Printer". I then tap on that, and it will then say, "Looking for Printers".
    The final outcome is "No Printers Found".
    Since I am following the instructions on wireless printing as found on page 44 of the iPhone 3GS handbook (with OS 4.2.1 software), I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong. I can print wirelessly with my iMac and my MacBook Pro to my HP printer just fine. Everything in my home is on the same network (my iPhone, iMac, iTouch, and MacBook Pro) that the printer is on.
    I'm sure I'm missing a big chunk of the puzzle somewhere that the manual is missing. Can someone please let me know what additional steps I must take in order to print from my iPhone 3GS while I am at home on my own network?
    Thank you very much.

    From one Andy to another Andy (LOL):
    Okay, thank you for the information. I even searched the Store web page before asking my question, and somehow missed this.
    Well, I'm not about to go and buy ANOTHER Apple toy just to print from my iPhone. For now, I think I can stick to the old-fashioned way and just forward it to myself so that I can print it from the iMac. I just got Apple TV a few days ago, so I'll have to wait a little bit for the next toy.
    Thank you very much for the prompt answer.

  • 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.

  • I have an MFC J410W Brother's printer, and I need instructions on how to print from my IPAD 4.

    I need to know how to print from my IPAD 4 on my MFC J410W Brother's printer.

    Printing from an iPad or iPhone
    To print directly from an iPad you need an AirPrint - enabled printer on the same wireless network as the iPad. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are AirPrint-enabled. Your Brother MFC-J410W is not an AirPrint printer.
    If you do not have an AirPrint printer, a number of workarounds exist that enable the use of any printer you normally use, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades. Search for the following products:
    handyPrint (Mac only, donation-supported)
    Printopia (Mac only, $19.95 with free trial)
    These are utilities you install on the Mac you normally use for printing, enabling it to act as an AirPrint print server. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. The iPad needs nothing else, no iOS apps need to be installed and no configuration is necessary. If your computer can print, so can the iPad, using one of these utilities on your Mac.
    Equivalent utilities may exist for PCs but I have no experience with them - I suggest https://www.collobos.com
    You can also buy this standalone hardware print server, bypassing the need for a computer altogether:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.
    The following are my recommendations
    AirPrint compatible Brother laser devices
    and
    AirPrint compatible Brother inkjet devices
    Read the reviews and choose wisely.

  • How to print from iphone to hp color laserjet CM1017 MFP printer

    How to print from iphone to hp color laserjet CM1017 MFP printer

    In order to AirPrint from your iPad/iPhone, here's all you need to do:
    1. Make sure the printer and iPad/iPhone are connected to the same local network.
    2. Open something you want to print (on the iPad/iPhone).
    3. On the iPad/iPhone, tap the "Action" button (arrow curving out of a box).
    4. Tap "Print".
    If you have any issues with printing, below are some steps that should help you out!
    1. Power off the printer.
    2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
    3. Power the printer back on.
    4. Power the iOS devices back on.
    5. Try to print again.
    Those steps usually resolve the issue. If they do not, try this additional steps:
    6. Power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the router’s power cord, waiting 20 seconds, and plugging it back in).
    7. Make sure that the iOS devices and the printer are all connected to the same network, then try to print.
