HT1218 What causes error "Network Host 192.16x.0.1 is busy. Will retry in 30 seconds."

Wireless Printer error shows network host as busy. Cannot reconfigure to re-connect. It was printing ok. Then I tried to scan a doc and then it wouldn't print again. I have internet access. Receive email, etc. Tried reinstalling the printer software several times. Printer says it has successfully completed connection to the Router. But I continue to get the error "Network Host is busy. Will retry in 30 seconds." And it never prints. Also, printer config option is greyed out.
1. What root cause generates that error message?
2. What settings should I reconfigure?
3. How do I re-configure settings?
I am not a techie...a busy frustrated Grandma at home. Need step by step, just to get to the right menu.
Thanks for help.

Hi Greg:
Thanks for the response.
Sorry, I'm using IPP. As an experiment, I printed a test page from Firefox running locally on the server, and that prints fine. So I have pointed CUPS at the right printer driver.
The other thing I've tried is to reset the printing system on the iMac by control-clicking in the area below the listed printer in the Print & Fax dialog and saying yes to "are you sure" when it warns about resetting the printing system. That leaves a blank pane. Then I started Word,
and invoked print. It came up with no printer selected, but offered a choice of the HP. When I select that, I see messages about gathering printer info (I expect that's Bonjour doing its thing), and the printer re-appears in the Print and Fax pane. When I "Print", I'm back to the usual problem.
Do you think I have something set incorrectly in the router?
Thanks.

Printing problems - Network host is busy, will retry in 30 seconds . . .

Configuration: 3 machines on the network
1. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (wired connection)
2. Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) server on IA64 with CUPS 1.4.6 (machine is called tusko)
3. MacBookPro with Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (wireless connection)
4. The server has a fixed IP address 192.168.1.10, the iMac is 192.168.1.12 (static also)
5. The MacBookPro is getting an IP address from the DHCP server in the router (Linksys e4200)
6. I can ping any machine from any other machine.
Procedure:
1. I set up a HP LaserJet 1012 on the Linux box using the CUPS GUI (http://localhost:631/)
2. CUPS shows the print queue as "idle, Accepting jobs, Shared, Server Default), I can print a test page properly from the server
3. The printer shows correctly as "HP LaserJet 1012 @ tusko" on both macs in System Preferences - Print & Fax
4. If I print a file to this printer from either Mac, I see "Network host 'tusko.local' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds . . ." this message repeats until I finally kill the print job
Since this is an all-Apple setup (CUPS being out of Apple), the solution is going to be something very basic that I am doing wrong (btw everything IS powered up) -- question is WHAT?!
I also tried connecting the printer directly to a USB port on the iMac, sharing it, and printing to the shared printer with the MacBookPro - same problem.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Network host is busy; will retry in 10 seconds..

tearing my hair out... I am operating an Imac 10.5.8 leopard and I have the following problem. Firstly I have 3 printers connected in my small business. 1 is an HP photosmart via USB straight into the Imac (no problems). The other 2 - an EFI Fiery which in turn operates a Olivetti MF450 and a Xerox Work Centre 7435 both connect to my router. I get the following message in the print queue when trying to print to the Fiery: Network 192.168.1.121 host is busy; will retry in 10 seconds.. and from the Xerox the printer queue pauses each time I push print. I have spent all day trying to sort this, with every combination in LPD and IPP and still no success. I am still fairly new to Macs. I have a PC also networked to these printers and they print from the PC no problem.

Sure I can do this but as I have 5 other pc's connected via the network to our HP printer and they all work fine so it seems like a Mac issue. Also since I have seen a number of issues on this site as well as on others regarding this particular msg and problem.
I can print with my USB cord, I can ping my router, my mac can see the printer (as it tells me what printer it is) so I rather think its a mac related issue. I will try powering down my router and try again.

After I started using Airport Express, my HP LaserJet 5000 won't print. I get the message "Network host '192.168.0.4' is busy." How do I fix this?

After I started using Airport Express, I get the message " host '192.168.0.4' is busy" andmy HP [ethernet] printer no longer works.

OK, I found this thread which answered my question.

"Network host '10.0.1.1' is busy; will try again in 30 seconds" message

We have an HP 6MP printer connected to our new Airport Extreme, and it was working correctly (finally) after trying the workaround suggested in the discussions, but it no longer works. Instead all we get is the above message. Tried disconnecting the Extreme, restarting it, restarting the printer, the computers, all to no avail.
Suggestions?
iMAC 24" Intel, G4 powerbook, 17" non-Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

That error message indicates you have added the printer in printer setup using IP printing. Is that what you intended? If that's what you intended, then be sure you Add the printer using IP printer > HP Jetdirect protocol. That's the one the AEBS can use.

What cause searching network problem after updating iphone 6 from iOS 8.1.2 TO iOS 8.1.3?

what cause searching network problem after updating iphone 6 from iOS 8.1.2 TO iOS 8.1.3?

SSince Apple does not support downgrading the iOS I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

"Network host is busy, will try in 15 seconds..."

A user that I support has a MacBook Pro 15" running 10.5.8. He is on a LAN in a small office that has two ethernet networked printers and he has been able to print to both of them since January. He recently was in another office in Colorado where he forgot and tried to print to one of the printers but of course it didn't work because it wasn't on that office' LAN.
Now back at his local office when he tries to print, the printer looks like it is online and ready (shown in the Print&Fax Preference page as being Idle, no jobs queued) but when he prints he gets the warning message "“Network host is busy, will try in 15 seconds...”. He is on the wired LAN, not wireless. Windows PCs in the same office can print to the printer without a problem.
I remote connected to his MBP and deleted the printer both manually and by resetting the printing system. I added the printer back as it is detected by Bonjour but still get the error. I deleted it again and tried adding by using its IP address and specifying the CUPS driver, leaving the queue name blank (this is btw a Brother 4070CDW laser). Still get the error.
The other printer I added back by using it's IP address and CUPS driver. That one (a Brother DCP8045D) now works for printing.
I used http://localhost:631 to access the CUPS Administration pages but didn't see anything that indicated what might be the problem.
I'm wondering if this is some left over cache problem from when he was traveling or a firewall issue?
Any help is welcome.

Hello Larry,
Generally the 'network busy' message generally indicates that the selected printer port is not available. As to why this would be happening when selecting the Bonjour advertised printer, I am not sure. But I would try pinging the printer to ensure you have a connection to the Brother. If that is okay then I would add the printer queue again, but this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket (which is the same as Port 9100 printing which Windows will often default to and since they are printing it is worth setting the Mac the same way).

How to resolve "network host busy; will retry" message?

There was a thread on this question about a year ago but it didn't look like it was clearly resolved and I am running into the situation...
Prior to yesterday, my configuration was as follows: an iMac and a Windows laptop connected to a wireless network via an Airport Extreme Base Station; connected to the Extreme Base Station is a Brother printer.
Yesterday, I extended the wireless network with an Airport Express.
Now, I can still print on the Brother printer via the Windows laptop, which is located close to the Airport Express. However, I can no longer print from the iMac, which is located very close to the Extreme Base Station. Whenever I try printing, I get a message stating that the network host is busy and it will retry in 30 seconds.
Has anybody been able to resolve this issue?

I incorrectly set up the printer to use IPP , rather than LPD.

SharePoint 2013 - Cannot connect or Register WorkFlow Manager with error "The data or messaging layer is unavailable. Please retry after 300 seconds"

Hi
I have SharePoint 2013 farm and installed Workflow Manager 1.0 and configured it and have been runing fine for several months. I upgraded this farm to SP 1 and then started having some issue with publish WF 2013 with task in SPD.
I re-Registered using Register-SPWorkflowService command and that fixed the problem and WorkFlow Manager running again OK. It has been couple of monthle and now I am having the problem again but with a different error on SPD
So doing what I did before, I tried to re-Registered WFM but this time getting the error below
Register-SPWorkflowService : The data or messaging layer is unavailable. Please retry
after 300 seconds.
The only possible resolution that I found is to add the -AllowOAuthHttp in my Register-SPWorkflowService cmdlet but that didnot not resolve the problem. I tried that anyway eventhough we do not allow http.
I did some checking for status and configuration and Get-SBFarmstatus showing all WFM services are running OK
I browsed to the WFM server https://servername:12290 and get the same error
- <Errorxmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Code>UnexpectedError</Code>
<Message>The data or messaging layer is unavailable. Please retry after 300
seconds.</Message>
</Error>
If anyone have advise / suggestion to resolve this issue, please share
Thanks in advance for all comments

What causes 8310 network to turn off

It doesn't happen often, but every once in a while I'll notice there are no e-mails and the signal display is no longer visible. When I check the network connection (AT&T), it's off. What might be the cause for this?

This has been an issue for quite some time across all devices and carriers. As long it's not happening that often I wouldn't worry about it. Just turn it back on. Do make sure that your device's OS is up to date. Check with your carrier for the latest handheld software for your device.

Short of dismantling and recreating a page how do i find out whats causing [Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]

Hi,
i received an indesign file to include in a folio that had links to the creators desktop where they had the assets for the web content overlay. When i try to update the folio i get the error message:
"Content generation error.
[Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]"
Which is fair enough.
The problem is, i have gone through and changed all URLs that I can see, but there is one somewhere, that I just can't find.
Is there a way to get a list of all web content overlays in a particular file? otherwise i will need to recreate the whole page again, and it has some pretty complex interactions which i rather wouldn't do.
I also cannot ask the original doc creator to just change the links as i'm sure he'll have the same issues as me, at not being able to track down the erroneous link.
The problem I have with DPS is that its not very transparent. you'll have to click on everything, and into every group to see what actions are on it, which can be extremely time consuming and frustrating when complex interactions are included.
thanks in advance for any assistance

I’ve found watching the process helpful to narrow down the page.
Working off a duplicate of the file, delete one layer at a time until you figure out what layer the problem is on.
From there it’s a bit easier to narrow down.

What causes error EX11 when downloading/installing Indesign?

I have downloaded CC app and Photoshop with no problem, but when trying to download In design I keep receiving the error "unable to extract to temp directory (Ex11)"

TThanks for taking the time to reply. I manually extracted the files and finished the install. I have administrator privileges so I'm still not sure why the error occurred. I'm using windows 7 OS and 7zip to extract files.

What causes error code (-3)

37 gigs songs random skip, when I try to convert I get unknown error occured (-3). Some songs have played multiple times and then skip usually about 1:00 in or about 1:00 from the end but not always. Long term problem and I am ready to chuck the whole mess and go to Music Monkey or something else, frustrated.

If you are referring to your iPod Classic, it may be a dying hardisk.
Do a disk diagnostic on your iPod hardisk as posted here earlier by tt2
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
If you refering to iTunes, check if the same song skips on Windows Media Player or MMonkey, if Random on these also, then disconnect the Internet and stop your Antivirus, and try again.
Have a Nice day!

When attempting to print with HP P2015 cabled to AirPort Extreme, error message is "Network host (name) is busy". What's happening?

When attempting to print with an HP P2015 cabled to an AirPort Extreme, the network won't connect to printer. The Print Que message is "Network host (name) is busy; will retry in (number) seconds." When I delete the file to be printed, the Print Queue screen says "Printer Ready".
More Information:
The printer's Queue Name is Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet P2015 Series
The Location is "(my name) AirPort Extreme"
URL is "Hewlett_Packard%20%HP%20LaserJet%20P2015%20Series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local./ ?bidi" (for whatever that means)
Driver Version is 18.4
Printer Software is HP LaserJet P2015 Series
The printer is listed as a printer on System Preferences/Print&Fax screen
If I connect the printer cable directly to the iMac, the printer works fine.
Any helpful directions would be greatly appreciated.

I came across an Apple article last modified 6/2/08 (Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule). It suggested the old standby, i.e., disconnect the AirPort Extreme Base Station from its power source, turn off the printer, turn on the printer, and reconnect the AirPort to its power source. It worked. I guess disconnecting the AirPort cleared out the network host. Yea.
