Im on a Windows Network and I cant use the printer!

When I try to print It says authorization required please help!!!
Im using Snow Leopard

If you have connected to the Windows shared printer using SMB (Add Printer > Windows) then the prompt will be for a user name/password set in Windows. This same prompt should have appeared when creating the printer queue on the Mac.
Some things that could help get you printing.
1. The Windows computer enables the Guest account so that the Mac can use that (although you will have to select the Guest account each time you print
2. The Windows computer sets you Mac user name and password so that you don't get prompted (but not the preferred option as you have just given out your personal details.
3. Enable LPD Print Services on Windows and then you can create a print queue on the Mac using LPD instead of SMB.
I would recommend action 3 as your best solution.
Note that all three require the administrator of the Windows computer to setup this actions and if that person is not helpful or outsourced then you will have a challenge.

  • I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

    i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?

    First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.

  • I am using windows 7 and can't get the print drives to load for F2210 printer

    I am using windows 7 and can't get the print drives to load for F2210 printer and I keep receiving different fatal error codes.

    Welcome to the forums!
    I read about how you're attempting to install your Deskjet F2210 on your Windows 7 system and receive Fatal Error codes. I will do my best to help and make some suggestions for you to try. 
    To being, try a standard copy from the unit to see if it will copy. If copies work, continue troubleshooting. If not, let me know what happened when you made a copy.
    Next:
    Perform a Level 3 uninstall.
    There are 2 ways you can run the uninstall:
    From Original installation CD:
    1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
    2. Click Start and open 'Computer', and then right click on the CD drive and open
    3. Open folder Util
    4. Open folder CCC
    5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
    6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
    7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
    8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    9. Download the full feature software and drivers: HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
    10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
    If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
    1. Click Start and type %temp% in the run field
    2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356) (If there is more than one, choose the most recent folder)
    3. Open folder Util
    4. Open folder CCC
    5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
    6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer

  • Need help cant use the printer

    Does the printer you get for free with the macbook work with airport....
    i dont know why but it is not understanding it by the way the printer is hp photosmart c3100.
    -Nick

    There is an option, but it's a rather complicated process. If you feel you're up to the task, read on.
    You can try using the hpijs driver. You won't get access to printer status or the card reader, but you can at least print over the network. In addition to downloading and installing the two packages from this page, you may have to download the PPD file for the 3100 from this page and install in the /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj folder (or the .lproj folder connesponding to your primary language). A new printer model called "HP Photosmart 3100 Foomatic/hpijs" will be available in the Print Using popup.
    If Bonjour printing doesn't work, the process gets even more complicated: you may have to use the Advanced mode in the Printer Setup Utility to configure the printer for AppSocket/HP JetDirect printing to port 9100 of the Express. To get access to the Advanced settings, go through the motions of adding a printer in Printer Setup Utility but instead of selecting a printer from the browser, hold down the option key while pressing "More Printers...".
    In the resultant dialog, select "AppSocket/HP JetDirect" from the Device popup, give the printer a name, enter a Device URI of "socket://<address>:9100". Replace <address> with either the Express's IP address or its Bonjour host name, which will be the Express's name with punctuation removed, spaces replaced by dashes, and ".local" appended. If you want to be sure to get the right address, use a utility like iStumbler to get the Bonjour host name (minus the ".local", which will still need to be appended). Finally, select the printer model and click on Add.
    Whew!

  • HT2292 I want to update my songs in my ipod 3rd g. itunes said it need to be restore. The problem now is it can't be restore due to  an unknown error (2003). And i cant use the ipod at all. it keep show up apple logo and the usb and itunes logo. please he

    please help

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    Only the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it.
    If the phone is displaying ICCID unknown, then it's a brick. That's a critical failure, usually caused by jailbreaking/hacking. It can not be fixed.

  • Loss of Windows Networking and Network Printing

    I am having an issue with an older G4 i-book running Tiger (I have installed the latest updates). Recently I have been unable to print to my network printer (HP 2605 dn)which has been running smoothly for over 2 years. Additionally I can no longer see any windows network folders (Workgroup, MSHome) within the network icon in Finder. I cannot even see the i-book from the 2 other macs in my home which again worked flawlessly up until now. I can connect to the Internet fine and also use Mail with no issues at all. I am connecting to the network using airport to a D-Link access point a short distance away. I must be missing something basic but I cant seem to resolve this one. Any help is appreciated.
    Message was edited by: Molaram

    Ok, do I ever feel like an idiot. After looking at your response (which I thought would be a complete waste of time)I noticed that the i-book was not even connected to my wireless network! It had grabbed my neighbors WiFi and I didn't even notice. Thanks for waking me up out of the fog. Problem solved. Boy do I feel like a noob.

  • Existing Windows network and a new MacPro?

    I am currently running a home network as follows:
    2 ea. Dell PCs running XP Pro, ethernet wire connected to a LinkSys cable modem/router, connected to Comcast for internet access. I also have an HP color laserjet 3500 printer hardwire connected to the LinkSys as part of the network. I have external hard drives on each PC connected to USB ports on the PCs but made available for accessing to either PC for storage and/or retrieval. I run MS Office 2003 on each PC and use Outlook for my email on each PC.
    I am contemplating replacing the older PC with a new MacPro and have the following questions:
    1. Will I simply remove the old PC from the network and connect (ethernet cable) the new MacPro to the LinkSys cable modem/router? Will I have internet access at this point oon my new MacPro or will I have to do something else (configure the MacPro or whatever) to gain this internet access?
    2. Will the new MacPro see the networked HP printer and will I be able to print to that printer thru the network from my MacPro? Any special software needed on my MacPro to print to that printer?
    3. I assume that it is possible to physically connect my current external hard drives to the new MacPro thru a USB connection, but will the MacPro see the files on these ext drives and can I access them?
    4. I plan on installing MS Office on the MacPro. If I create a file (Word, Xcel or PowerPoint document) and email it to a non-believer (PC-user) will they be able to open and use the file, assuming they are running MS Office 2003 on their PC?
    5. I understand that I can install up to four hard drives on the MacPro, all internal. Is there any advantage to using two internal hard drives to provide back up capability as opposed to using one internal hard drive and then buying a separate external MacPro compatible hard drive for my backup? That is - should I go with two internal hard drives or one internal and one external - thinking that if something bad powerwise should happen to the MacPro maybe the ext hard drive would have been spared. (I do have surge protectors on all of my equipment.) I assume that I would NOT be able to access files from the Mac ext hard drive from my other PC. Is that a good assumption?
    6. I understand that I can download BootCamp and run Windows programs on my MacPro. Can I run BootCamp and MacOS concurrently? Can I run BootCamp and MS Office for Windows on my MacPro, prepare a PowerPoint presentation, store it on my MacPro hard drive, then run Mac OS X, PowerPoint (MS Office for the Mac) and open the recently created PowerPoint file that I had created under BootCamp, MS Office for Windows? Can I go back and forth between the two operating systems creating files, opening and storing them? Or is this all a moot point in that any MS Office for Mac file creeated on the MacPro will be fully compatible with any PC system should I email them the file and I don't even have to worry about BootCamp?
    7. I understand that Apple will release their new operating system, Leopard, next spring 2007. Should I wait to buy a MacPro until that new OS is on the market? If I did buy the MacPro now, is it a big deal to upgrade the MacPro to new OS?
    Thanx in advance for any advice you can give me.

    1. Should work as soon as you plug in the network cable.
    2 Just install the drivers and setup the printer
    3. Yes. Macs can connect to Windows file shares.
    4. Yes. Office files are Office files, no matter the platform.
    5. "I assume that I would NOT be able to access files from the Mac ext hard drive from my other PC."
    Use SharePoints fro hornware.com to share the drives to your PC.
    "That is - should I go with two internal hard drives or one internal and one external"
    How you want to configure your backup scheme is up to you, as your computing needs are different than ours. Internal drives are cheaper, while external drives are portable.
    6. "Can I run BootCamp and MacOS concurrently? "
    No. If you want to run Windows and OS X at the same time, use Parallels.
    "Or is this all a moot point in that any MS Office for Mac file creeated on the MacPro will be fully compatible with any PC system"
    Yes.
    7. "Should I wait to buy a MacPro until that new OS is on the market?"
    Your call. We can't make that decision for you.
    "is it a big deal to upgrade the MacPro to new OS?"
    No.

    I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
    I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

  • When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

    When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem?  My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine.  I shouldn't have to buy a new one.  Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

    I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected?  That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
    How is your network configured?  Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary.  If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
    You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router.  If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation.  The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router.  But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
    Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.
