I can't get printer to work on iMAC!

It was working until I used the airport utility (1.3.3) on my iPhone to reconfigure my airport extreme to allow printer to connect to wifi via PIN. Now it works on phones and iPads and windows laptop but not iMAC. I have an HP Officejet 4622.

Go to > OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system and use those instructions to reset the iMac's printing system.

Can't get printer to work (Windows - Arch)

I have an XP box and my Arch box on my home network, have Lexmark X1100 connected to XP box (USB printer). It worked fine on Ubuntu, I know it can work but I haven't gotten anything going using the Arch wiki on CUPS. Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf:
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example

And I followed this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS specifically http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP … rinter_PPD and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP … s_to_Linux. But I run OO and I still only have Generic printer.
I was using the Gnome cups manager on Ubuntu, but I cannot find this package on my system now. I see it in AUR but shouldn't it be in pacman? I have searched and searched but can't find it. And I installed gtklp, but upon startup it just gives me "No printers found!" and exits.
EDIT: I have just built gnome-cups-manager from AUR and am at the point where I select a driver, however in the Manufacturer list there is nothing showing, and when I hit Install Driver and select the .ppd I got from the CUPS site for my printer, it just says "The PPD /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark-X125-drv_x125.ppd is already installed" I can't get past this point??

Help - using windows 7 and bonjour and can't get printer to work!

Hi, I recently upgraded my wife's pc. Previously I had a wireless printer set up using bonjour and the airport express. My mac and the old pc (windows xp). I had no problems printing. I upgraded her PC and now it uses windows 7. I installed bonjour and tried to print but no success. The PC can see the printer. It says that it sends the file to print. I get no printer error or anything on the PC, but nothing happens. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks
Kris

Re: Can't Get Printer To Work on Wireless AEBS Network

I have two Macs: a iMac G3 and an iMac G5. The G3 is connected by ethernet cable to an AEBS which is connected to the internet via cable. The G5 is in another room and is connected wirelessly to the G3. I have an older Epson Stylus Color 740 that I've tried to connect via the printer port on the AEBS in order to set it up as a shared printer, but, for some reason, I've been unable to. I have the sharing option turned on in System Prefs>Print and Fax and System Prefs>Sharing on both computers. Can anyone tell me what I'm not getting?
I can get the printer to work off of either the G3 or the G5 if it's connected directly to them via a USB cable.

My Airport Extreme keeps losing my printer and the settings in print dialog change even with the lock closed. The printer still appears as being on the AE network in the print setup screen but the computer is unable to find it when printing..
This means that several times each day I have to change the settings back to what they should be and re-install my printer after restarting. I can only do this by deleting the printer completely and starting again from scratch.
The base station is often not registering in Airport Admin Utility until reset and the computer is restarted. It is okay for a while then is not available again.
Also my network settings change without asking for authorisation (and the lock changes from closed to open on its own). This seems to mostly happen while I am logged on and close Safari then re-open it, the internet is not available. Upon checking, the padlock is now open and the settings have changed.
This is extremely frustrating! What am I doing wrong? I am ready to chuck the thing out the window!

Can't get printer to work for my life

CUPS
Even if printer is on at boot, printer won't work.
This has happened before, and I can usually get it working after fiddling with it for 10-15 minutes, then it stops working promptly.
I had it working a few nights ago, now it has stopped again.
dmesg

usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x0557 pid 0x2006

sdhci: Secure Digital Host Controller Interface driver
What should the URI for a usb printer be?
USB is not an option for "Device for PrinterName" in the CUPS web interface
I can print from vbox on this machine, so this is slightly less urgent.

There is no hub. The laptop has 2 ports on the front, 2 on the back, with the printer plugged into the back.
If it matters, this is a parallel printer, with a parallel to usb cable connecting it to the machine.
Now that we know the usb port number the printer is plugged into, we should be able to figure out the uri.
EDIT: lsubs shows the same whether printer is on or not.
An adapter, my mistake.
I had a parallel printer plugged into a USB port through an adapter for a while, and it exhibited the same behavior. My "solution" was to delete the printer and then recreate in CUPS. Sometimes the interface would reappear and sometimes it wouldn't.
Dusty started a thread about this a while back, and I was the last one to answer. Maybe you can get a hold of him and see if he had any success.

Can't get printer to work wirelessly since adding timecapsule

I have just added a Time capsule to my BT Home hub network just to back up all the different computers in the house wirelessly. Since adding it I can not get my HP Officejet J4680 to print wirelessly. Any ideas anyone?

Launch AirPort Utility and put the Time Capsule into "manual setup" mode. Pull down the "Base Station" menu and select "Logs and Statistics". Select the "Wireless Client" tab. Do you see the printer there? (If you have trouble identifying the clients you see there, enter their "MAC addresses" in this Web site

to identify their manufacturers.
It would be good to configure your printer to be a DHCP client, but it's not clear from its manual

that the printer supports that.

Cannot get printer to work with iMac

I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!

It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
is the printer/scanner listing from Apple.
Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:
Epson, alternate Australian site may have more up-to-date drivers for Epson, Epson RIP and colormatching drivers from iProof Systems, Guten-Print (formerly known as Gimp-print), and Printfab. http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

It works now. I'm not 100% sure what fixed it, but my guess is that it was blacklisting usblp
Here are the steps.
delete the printer using cups if it is already installed (this is what I didn't do at first, and what caused me to waste a couple hours screwing with other config files).
open /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and add this line to it: blacklist usblp
reboot.
add the printer using CUPS (this time "Local Printers" showed my Canon MP730 as an option)
Cheers,

[solved] can't get printer to work. HP deskjet 710c

i follow this guide from the wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS_Setup
i have installed cups and ghostscript.
also i have installed, foomatic-filters, hplip
i also download from here
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_print … skJet_710C
the PPD file, that suit my printer.
after that, i copy the file to /usr/share/cups/model/
after that i did:
modprobe lp
modprobe parport
modprobe parport_pc
no errors
started CUPS:
/etc/rc.d/cups start
go to:
http://localhost:631/
and added my printer using the PPD file, i downloaded before.
(i used LPT 1 for the printer, its a parallel printer, not usb)
this is the web interface with my printer details and status. also you can see the error, that said: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"
http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/6605/hpyj2.png

Can't get printer to work

I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 on a wireless network and I want to print on a HP laserjet 1320 connected to another computer on the network. My laptop sees the 1320, but cannot print. The error message says "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Some driver files are missing or incorrect. Reinstall the driver or try using the latest version." I have downloaded every driver for the 1320 and none are working.

Hi ... i have exactly the same problem with my newly installed W7 PC which has HP deskjet F2180 attached to it.
I have another W7 laptop which simply cannot print as i cannot add the printer ... i get exactly the same message as you have put here .... did you ever get a resolution to this?

I can't get printer to work

I sent email from my droid it gets to my computer saying its ready to print never does.

Try pulling the power cord from your cable and plugging it back in after 10-15 seconds. We've seen a lot of cases where this will fix the issue. Also, please inform us of which printer you're using.

Hi edhones,
Please update Acrobat to v11.0.09 and check.
You might want to repair Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check if it installs the pdf printer back or not.
