IMac can't recognize Bonjour network printer

I'm having problems getting a Samsung CLP-610 to be recognized via a network connection. The add printer wizard shows it as a Bonjour printer, however it can't locate the driver. I downloaded the latest drivers from the Samsung website. I had success printing with it connected to the USB port on my iMac. It's recognized immediately and the driver installed.
How do I get the new driver to appear in the add printer wizard when attempting to add via Bonjour.
Is this a case of there being no network driver available?
iMac 2.8Ghz, OS X 10.5.2, linksys wireless router with printer connected via Ethernet port

I am also having this exact problem, though it is with an HP photosmart c4180 printer. I installed the driver for it last night, but the driver is not recognized by bonjour. Is there anyone out there that can point us in the right direction?

Doesn't Recognize my Network Printer

My new MBP will not recognize my network printer. I loaded the drivers by pluging the USB directly into the computer, no problem. But when I changed the location of the printer by specifying the IP address it still could not see the printer. I've tried installing an IP printer, but the drivers for my HP PSC 1610 do not appear. I've tried most of the other drivers but to no avail. Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone solved this problem? Thanks

I am having the same problem with my Intel MacBook and AEBS. My Canon MX700 is attached as a network printer via ethernet to an AEBS. It always prints from the iMac (connected directly to AEBS). It only prints from the Macbook (wireless to network) when the iMac is active (i.e., not off and not on stand-by). I have had to start and restart all the hardware a few times to figure out that I can keep the printer in the Macbook preferences, but it will only print when the iMac is on. It does not show an error message -- the print dialog just states that it is looking for the MX700, it lists the MAC address, and then adds "@ iMac" which I assume has something to do with Bonjour. It will hang there until you click on the iMac mouse to bring it out of sleep. I tried to connect the printer as a USB AEBS shared printer (this printer has both connections) and it installed on both the iMac and Macbook, but would not print from the Macbook (received an error that I do not remember). Any thoughts or recommendations?

AIO Remote wont recognize my network printer deskjet 3050

AIO remote app (IOS) did not recognize my network printer (Deskjet 3050), other apps (printer pro lite) did recognize the printer flawlessly, both the printer and the iphone are in the same network, I can print from my PC and my mac but not from AIO remote app (not even recognize the printer).
Can you help me?

Hello MrCrysis,
With the Printer Pro Lite app working to printer, this is excellent to hear. Although this is not an HP app. So to explain as to why the AiO Remote app is not recognizing your printer, and not being able to scan. Your printer does not have AirPrint capabilities according to the 'HP Deskjet 3050 (J610) and 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications'. AirPrint is a requirement for the HP AiO Remote app to work, and because the printer does not have AirPrint the app can not see the printer.

Westell 327W gateway does not recognize Brother network printer

The Westell 327W gateway does not recognize Brother network printer model MFC-490CW. Any idea?

I took a look at the Brother www site and would recommend the following:
Temporarily Connect the Printer to the Network with an Ethernet Cable
Run the Brother Installer Application to reconfigure the printer for Wireless (CD That Came w/ Printer)
You will need the Network Name (SSID) and Passcode (WEP Key) from your Router.
Once configured you will be able to disconenct the Ethernet Cable and use it wireless.

My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video camera (Canon GL2) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable.

My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video cameras (Canon GL2 or Sony) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable. I've tried two different cables. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Is your DV camera plugged in to AC power (not batteries only)? When you step down from 9 pins to 4 pins, you lose the "power" pins.

Can't get WiFi network printing

hey there all,
i recently swapped out my AXg base station for the new AEBSn. i have 2 H-P printers; 1 an HP Photosmart(circa late 2006) directly connected to my DP G5. the other, a PSC(circa mid 2004) was connected to my AXg. my problem is that now w/ the PSC connnected to the AEBSn USB port, it acts as though it is connecting & starting to print, but it does 1 line then quits. i've done all the things suggested in the Airport help as well as from H-P's website.
i've dl'd & reinstalled the driver, turned things off/on, unplugged/re-plugged all to no avail. so far i can get printing from 2 of my other Macs(a MacBook & a 17" iMac CD) from the PSC, but only by having the PSC printer connected via USB through a hub to the DP G5 & used as a shared printer, but neither can see/connect to the Photosmart even though it appear as option in the Print Dialog. i need to have the Photosmart as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 & the PSC as the AEBS/WiFi network printer. this is the way things were setup w/ the AXg, but if they were even reveresd, w/ the Photosmart as the WiFi network printer & the PSC as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 that would work. also, i can not get the other Macs on my network to connect to the Photosmart to print & i can't get my 17" iMac G4 to connect to either printer. i'll keep plugging away w/ trying the "Help" in the meantime as i really need to be able to print to @ least 1 printer from all the Macs. anyone w/ more thoughts or ideas than those available in Airport Help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have two HP photosmart printers, 7700 and 7900 series. They both worked before over the old airport extreme. Now, neither work over the new airport extreme. They act like the are starting to print and then stop. Can someone resolve this problem. They main reason I upgraded was to support multiple printers on the network. Now I don't even have one.

Imac can see all the network

I am new to mac and switch after my pc died. I have put the imac onto a windows network. Our network has 2 domains. The imac can see one but not the other. One server issues dynamic IP and the other is static. I have email accounts on both domains and via entourage they both appear to be running properly. The network runs XP pro machines and the servers run windows 2000. Can anyone please give me some pointers as to what settings to check. I have seen a file and print share utility for 2000 that isnt installed - does it need this to work ?

Thank you very much once again for trying to help with the two problems that I am experiencing. Unfortunately, following your advice and having creating a new administrator’s user account on the same work group ,I am still unable to connect to the windows XP pc other than as a Guest.
I have additionally entered “Network access: Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts” on the XP and changed “Guest Only” to “Classic”.
I have also disabled “Simple File Sharing" ( My Computer…Tools…Folder options…View).
The oddity remains in that when I click on the Shared column item on my iMac to open the connection to my laptop running Windows 7,the first screen to appear identifies “USERS” and not the list of shared folders (without USERS) as when I connect to the XP.
Please have you any suggested remedy for removing the message:-
“Operation can’t be completed because the original item for “xxx” can’t be found”
Thanks once again…. much appreciated. Colin.

Can't connect to Network Printer

I just bought a laptop with Vista. I have wireless router connected to a wired router. My two desktops are conneted to the wired router and the laptop is wireless to the wireless router.
My printer does not have a wireless card, so I have it plugged to one desktop, and I have the other desktop using it as a network printer.
I can't seem to get the wireless to see the printer. I have enabled file & print sharing on all computers, and the print spooler service is started on all computers. When I do "Add a printer" it doesn't see the printer. I tried doing "Add a network printer" and entering the name as \\computername\printername (where computername is the computer the printer is attached to), but I alternately get these two errors:
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. The server print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler on the server or restart the server machine" or
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Makes ure that you have typed the name correctly, and that the printer is connected to network."
I have not been able to see the desktop computer at all in the network options, but I do see the wired router listed, but no computers connected to the router.
Can anyone help with this? I am at my wit's end. Dan

"Windows cannot connect to the printer. The server print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler on the server or restart the server machine" or
see the tail end of my thread here, it sounds a LOT like your problems and my own are similar:

Hello,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-US;2388142
Might be the right hotfix!
I will be trying this hotfix this week. I have this problem SO bad right now. The only slight difference is that my print server is running Microsoft Storage Server
2003, and all my clients are now windows 7. The problem hits users at seemingly random times, random 5% of the company per day, and all printer pools...it made no sense at all!
I'll keep you posted as to whether the asyncronous RPC reg key helps, or if your hotfix does.
There is also something i found that works (for 48 hours straight anyways):
On vista/7 client, go to Devices and Printers and click Add Printer
Then choose Local Printer. I know your printer is shared on a print server, just stick with me here!!
Choose Create New Port and select Local Port...
When it asks you for a port name, type in the UNC ADDRESS of the printer (ie \\printserver1\HPLaser5000n).
When it asks you for a driver, point it to the right location where you downloaded a clean set of drivers matching your client OS and printer. Or press the Windows Update button.
finish adding the printer. You will notice the name of the printer doesn't have a "...on [printserver1"
anymore, BUT it will still print!!
I have done this for 4 printer pools and for the last 2 days the 1 user i set it up for has had no printing problems. May be total coincidence, but at this point i was willing to try anything. I'm not sure if this constitutes fooling windows 7 into setting
up a remote printer as a local printer, and i'm also doubting this will be deployable via GPO or script...but still, i hope it helps.

Officejet 6600 All But One Laptop Can Connect To Wireless Network Printer

One windows and 2 macs can connect to the wireless printer over the newtwork just fine but one (Windows 7) will not. HP Print and Scan Doctor can discover the printer from that laptop as "visible" but repeatedly says " need to install full software" which I've done, and after, it runs install wizzard reports, the IP address I've entered is wrong, which it's not. Firewalls are off. I've un and re installed, tried windows add device which can't connect either. I've had this problem before with this laptop but just can't remember how I fixed it. I remember getting to a screen that offered the option of installing over a nework or wireless directly to the printer and over the network fixed it, but I can't remember how I got there. Any ideas as I'm at wits end. Thanks

Welcome to the forums @Davidchicago ,
I read through your post about the installation troubles you are having with one of your Windows 7 computers and your Officejet 6600. I am here to let you know what my suggestion is for you!
There could be a program blocking the installation and causing the problem. I'd recommend a Clean Boot, restarting your PC, disabling your firewall and running through the installation again.
Hopefully that will get you through the install. Let me know the results!
Have a great weekend

IPad can't recognize wifi networks

Recently purchased an iPad 2. On 3 occasions it has been able to see my home network, has connected and worked fine for a few minutes, then disconnects and can't see the network. All gaming devices, multimedia devices and android devices in my home have no problem seeing at least 14 available networks in the surrounding neighborhood. The iPad has seen only mine, which I have had to manually enter...it has seen no other available networks.
I registered an Apple ID, Bluetooth works, have not yet connected to Verizon.
how do I get this iPad to recognize available networks and stay connected once it has recognized the network?

I realise that you've stated all your other devices are working ok, but have you tried rebooting your router to rule this out as an issue? I had a similar issue with my Netgear router in that my iPad would lose connection to it, yet my Xbox 360 would still be connected, but rebooting the router did the trick.
If you have tried this and still aren't having any luck try an iPad reset. With the iPad powered on hold down the Sleep/Wake & Home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then try reconnecting again.
Regards,
Steve

IMAC can't find N network with TC firmware 7.4.1 and 7.4.2

Hello, I have a problem since I upgraded my TC from 7.3.2 to 7.4.1 and 7.4.2.
both my two IMACs can't find the TC N network, only if I downgrade to 7.3.2 they actually find and connect to the TC N network.
please let me know if the only solution is not to upgrade the firmware.
thanks
Fabrizio

Same here: 7.1.1 works but 7.2.1 & 7.3.1 do not with the same symptoms.
In fact there are now several threads reporting the same loss of internet connectivity. Happily reverting to 7.1.1 restores connectivity.

Mac Mini won't recognize Apple Network Printer

My Mac mini (1.42 GHz, 2005) suddently stopped recognizing my network printer. It's a printer run off of an Airport Express card, and works perfectly with my other two Macs on the system. I have deleted and reinstalled the driver on the mini, the rest of the network seems to work fine, but when you go to print to the printer, it goes to la-la land and then sets another printer as the default.
Any ideas?
Todd

I figured it out. Had to reset the router.

How can I get my network printer to print in color?

I have a Dell 3110cn color printer on my network. Since I did the Maverick update the printer will no longer print in color only b&w. It's using a generic printer driver. I had no problems before the update. It's a great workhorse printer. How can I get this connected properly?

Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
Bruce's instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
- delete any previously set up printers
- scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
- remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
- reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
- print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
- got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
- go to the sys pref > print scan
- add the HP 8000 printer
- click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
- click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
- finish (this page may freeze up. close the browser)
- go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
- go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). Check that the SSID is your network
- go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
- try printing something to your printer. It might take a little time the first print.

IMac can connect to wireless network automatically

All of a sudden, my mac won't automatically join my wireless network. I can find the network easily and connect to it, but it doesn't connect automatically like it used to. This seems odd as iphones have no problem finding the wi fi network and connecting. This seems to have cropped up after I added another user account, but that may be totally unrelated. Any ideas how to fix this? Let me know if there are more details I can provide. Thanks.

I've had this same thing for months now and I have no idea why. I do know that it started right around the time that I upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard, but laptop (Pro) is still just regular old Leopard and it happens with it as well. I've tried everything - the approach in the previous reply to your question included - and have still had no luck. I tried all the old (2008, etc.) apple discussion forum stuff too. No joy. Please let me know if you figure it out because at this point in time I've tried everything I know. Granted, selecting a network every time I power up or wake a computer from sleep is not going to kill me, it's just....annoying.

My iMac can't find my network/TM but wireless works for 3 other computers

All of a sudden my Mac couldn't connect to my wireless network. I ran the Network Diagnostic and my network can't be found...but my two PCs and my iBook in the house are connected to the network and are working...I tried Airport Utility but it doesn't "see" my Time Machine at all...is this an iMac problem or a Time Machine problem? I've rebooted my iMac and nothing...i've rebooted my TM and nothing...

Having you tried shutting everything down, waiting a few minutes, then turn on your cable modem, wait, turn on your TC, wait, then turn on your Macs and peripherals one at a time.
Of course check cables, too.
