I can't print from network computer while in bootcamp

Although I can see the network printer while in Windows 7 on bootcamp, I can't get it to print. I am trying to print reports from Quicken 2012. Any ideas?

Then this could be a driver issue. What brand and model of printer do you have? I want to check what driver options are available for this model.
The other possible cause is the protocol you have used, although Windows is often better at selecting the correct protocol to use compared to Mac. To check what you are using on Windows, open Devices and Printers and select the printer. Then right-click its icon and select Printer Properties. Then select the Ports tab and then click on Configure Port. Is the queue configured to use LPD or RAW?

How can i choose a lower quality print density when printing from firefox on my Mac. I cant move the slider along the scale ( I can when printing from the computer).

I can't change the print density when printing from Firefox. It is set at standard and although there is a "slider button" to use for choosing less or more density, it can't be moved. I can tick "grayscale". I can choose the density when printing from the computer. I have a Mac

I also have this problem where I used to be able to shrink a 2 page doc to a single page. Since upgrade to FF4 it no longer works - but you can choose say 60% and it will work. All used to work fine in FF3

Can't print from networked PC running XP

Hi. I have a Canon IP6700D attached via USB to my iMac. The iMac is running OS X 10.5.5.
Also attached to my network is a PC running Windows XP SP3. So both machines are fully patched up.
Printing from the iMac works flawlessly.
I want to be able to print from the PC so I have shared the printer, turned off the firewall on the iMac set up the printer on the PC. The PC can see the printer and I can send print jobs to it. The iMac can see the print jobs coming over but nothing ever prints. Looking through the logs on the iMac tells me that the printer has worked but obviously it hasn't.

Your issue could be due to the driver being used on the Windows box. Usually, you have to use a Generic PostScript driver on the Windows computer rather than the supplied vendor driver. This will restrict the options you have for printing but at least you should be able to print.

Can not print from network share.

When a PDF document is printed from a network share whe're getting this error:
Windows cannot find 'T:\temp\test.pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
This happens when a user click on the document with a right mouse click and select "print".
But when the users copies it to his desktop and then select print with the right mouse click. The document print as normally. What could be the problem?
we are using adobe reader 7.0.0

Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

How can I print from an iPad while off the grid?

Is there any way to simply print from an iPad without there being a wifi network available? I mean, If I get a printer with AirPrint or blue tooth or something, can I just connect my iPad up directly to that printer and print from it? I am planning to set up events where there is no wifi signal, such as at a fairgrounds, and I would like to be able to print art and information out for visitors. It sounds like a great idea and would really help expand my work. But I am not finding any good solutions. I would even take a printer with a dock for the iPad if possible.
Has anyone ever come across anything like this? If not, why haven't they made something like this yet? It seems to easy to create and work with and would make printing very hassle free for many people.

Can't print from Network

I have an iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.5 and my wife has a Tangerine iMac running 10.3.9. We are connected via built in ethernet I have the printer (HP 960c) attached to my computer. We can access each other's computers fine but she cannot print to my printer. Her system recognizes the printer but printing jobs go off into cyberspace some where. Any suggestions?

Doug - sorry for coming in late.
There are at least 5 ways to connect to a printer on a Mac. Mac-to-Mac sharing is the easiest because you get to use the printer's driver. The other methods rely on the Mac queue's standard functionality - incoming postscript is converted to code for the particular printer and sent to the printer by the driver.
Try this for troubleshooting:
Find the printer queue name by doing Get/Show Info on the printer in the Printer Setup list on the tangerine Mac.
On your computer, Add , select IP printer, then IPP. Enter the tangerine's IP address plus that queue name. Select generic postscript for driver.
Finish and try printing.

After update to Snow Leopard, I can no longer print from my Mac Book using my HP D110 but can still print from the web

Hello -
Earlier this week, I updated my Mac Book to Snow Leopard and am now having printing problems. I have an HP Photosmart D110. I have downloaded and installed the driver update. I have deleted and re-installed the printer. I have run the wireless network test (everything passed). I configured th settings on the HP EPrint website. I have shut down and re-started the computer several times. I checked for software updates.
The printer is *recognized* on the Mac Book, iPhone and the iPad. It shows up under the SysPref menu. I have been able to print coupons from the Coupons.com app using the iPhone and iPad, but I can't print from the computer itself. The printer icon opens and it indicates the document was sent but nothing comes out. I'm not sure what I'm missing?!

Also try powering the printer off for about 10 minutes.

Can't print from Ubuntu or Win 7

Hello. I have an Arch x86_64 box which is my HTPC and print server. The printer is shared from CUPS and SAMBA. I can see it from a Win 7 and an Ubuntu 10.10 box. But I can't print anything from those machines. Not from another Arch box either. I have a strange issue with permissions or path or whatever so I must give su - command to use some commands as root and I'm not able to shut down my computer with sudo halt as an example. I did set up my box as usual a week ago and that su thing is new to me. Can it be related to each other this permission with su and CUPS printing problem?

Did you tell CUPS to allow remote printing?
It's been awhile since I've set up cups, and I don't even have it installed atm, but, if I remember right, there are options to allow/disallow remote printing, and also for certain ranges of host ips, and even for specific users.
So, what does your cups setup look like?
How about Samba? I'm thinking that your problem is more with CUPS than SAMBA.
Can you print from the computer that you have cups set up on as the server?
CUPS also has a web interface where you can adjust these options. Sorry, I don't remember the port number that you need to use to access it, but that should be in the man page.
As for the su thing, definately. It sounds to me like you aren't in the lp group, which is default for printer access.
HTH,

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home. Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached. Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

Can't print from a windows pc to network printer

I am having a network printer problem.
I have a Canon printer plugged into the usb port of my Mac-Mini. I can print fine from the Mac to the printer. I have network sharing enabled for the printer.
I have a Dell PC connected to an Airport Express via internet cable as part of my network.
I have bonjour installed on the Dell
Bonjour can see the networked canon printer and will install it as the default printer for the Dell PC.
However, I can not print from the Dell unless I have the wrong printer driver (an HP driver) installed. As long as the wrong driver is installed I can print the first page of a document only.
If I install the correct Canon driver, the printer ceases to function.
I tried connecting the printer to the airport express via usb. Once I did this, I was able to print from the Dell pc with no problem using the correct driver. But then, I could no longer print from the Mac-mini via the Airport Express connected printer. The Mac could see the printer and identify that it was connected via Airport. And the Mac will allow me to connect to the Airport connected printer . But as soon as I trie to print something from the Mac, it fails and gives an error message or pauses and says the drivers may not be correct.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

Detective445 wrote:
I believe that there may not be a solution to this because the printer will only recognize one set of drivers. Since one set of drivers is for the Mac and one set is for a PC It will only work with one machine or the other.
Then you should be able to print from the Mini after resetting the printer, e.g. by turning it off and back on after a short while. But it sounds as if this won't help either, and to be frank, it's not an "acceptable" explanation, either...
So, what's the error message? Unless known, we can only keep guessing:
You've reset the printer system in the Mini? Eventually consider deleting the Canon drivers manually afterwards, and only then add the printer again and re-install its software.
If that doesn't help either, the issue must be a communication problem, meaning I'd recommend to double-/triple-check all comm-related things as well.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1? My iPad can't find the printer. Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1? I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer. But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago. Suggestions??

Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it. So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310. Can't print from iPad iOS6. They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses. On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133. Can I match them? H

I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310). They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses! The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133. That's the only difference I can see. Is there a way to fix this?

fyi:
you put periods between the numbers.
Each device needs a unique number.
for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary. 192.168.1.x
the numbers you have look ok.
Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes. poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
cross fingers.

I've got a wireless network with one iMac and a Vista PC, on the Vista PC is through USB a printer connected. How can i print from my iMac to that particular printer ?

You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

I rebooted my Airport Extreme.
Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.
