Install of HP network printers failing.
OS- Windows 7 32bit
Printers- Laserjet 2605dn and deskjet 6840
I had to reinstall Windows 7 because the spooler would not stay running. That's working now. When I try to install either printer through
"devices and printers" it finds the printers on the network just fine. When you say install you get the page that lists all the companies and models. These two do not appear there, so you have to pick windows update. It comes back and says it can't download the list of devices, to try again later. Two days now and it still doesn't work. Tried downloading the drivers.cabs form Windows.update.catalog and manually put them in, but that fails also. I have a dual boot 32/64 system and the 64bit worked not problem. Microsoft gives you circular fixes that don't work. Any ideas? I went to the logs and it throws a error that just says it failed when I manually install. Nothing on the auto-install. I really don't want to go the port route. Have always had problems with that as the ips change every power on. Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.
Well here's the bottom line. After reinstalling windows 7, down loading stand alone drivers for my HP printers, asking questions on multiple web sites, reading countless pages of computer chats, here is what finally worked.
The spooler started working properly after the reinstall for local printers but the network printers would not load.
Finally, I ran a long usb cable from machine to laser printer and it installed automatically with no errors.
I removed that device.
I added a new network printer the normal way and it installed correctly.
I then added the other network printer and it installed correctly.

Installed 2 new network printers and can't see old network printer
I installed an Hp2055dn(wired) and an HP Officejet 6000 e609n(wireless) this week for a group of classrooms to share in an elementary school. They work perfectly. My problem seems to be that another printer, HP 2600n(wired), has disappeared from the network and can't be seen by any computers on the wireless network. It still can print from our wired computer lab though. I'm assuming there must be a conflict somewhere but am at a loss to start to figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
It sounds as though you may not have gotten Aperture updated to version 2.1.4, which is required to work in Snow Leopard. There are numerous topics about updating to 2.1.4 after attempting to run an earlier version in SL Read some of those:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10578088�
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10840115�
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10737633�
Having updated to 2.1.4 while running Leopard, and before Upgrading to Snow Leopard, I cannot provide a clear path to what to purge in order to get the update done in SL, if you find all is correct regarding the location of the application, etc. Removing Aperture and installing again, but running Software Update before ever launching Aperture may work, and downloading the current trial version (which is 2.1.4) and then applying the Serial number of the package you bought will also work.

Is it possible to create a configuration profile that will install multiple network printers and their associated drivers?
I was not able to find profile manager on my employer's installation of 10.6 Server. Is this only a feature of 10.7/10.8 server?10.6 server does not have profile manager, profile manager is only available in 10/7 and 10.8 server
for 10.6 server you'll need to use wgm and server admin
printer management with 10.6, I recommend you read the relevant server manuals regarding
print server and user management, printer management -

Lists workstations wchich a=have some network printers installed
Hi to all,
I really need help. My boss asks me to write a powershell script wchich can list all the
windows workstations which a have some
network Lexmark printers installed.And where the name of these network printers start with "BO" for example.
I'm learning Powershell by myself and i'm not an expert.
Any help please.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Regards,
LeBalboNetwork printers are not installed to the workstation. They are usually installed to the user account.
If there are any attached fromm Group Policy this is how to find them
get-printer -Name BO* -ComputerName PC01 |where type -eq 'Connection'
I also recommend that you ask you boss what his definition of "Network Printer" is?

I can't see my network Printers when i installed Time Capsule
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I had a wireless network using my NetGear router so i can share internet and two network printers. The network printers are connected to the router using ethernet wires. Now that i installed Time Capsule i can't get the Network Printer to print.
I did what you said, made sure that both network printers where turned on connected to TC and ready to print, then i opened my system Preference, Print & Fax, i removed my two printers that where there before and working, then hit the plus sign, add printer, here's what's different, my MacBook Pro, under AppleTalk and one of my printers can up and it now works but the other didn't. So on my iMac i tried the same thing but no printer showed up under AppleTalk, i did find the two printers under "Default" and Bonjour was under "kind" i said install to both and it did. I just tried printing to both printers and now i have two bouncing printer icons on my doc with a massage " Attempting to connect to host 192.168.1.10" for one of the printers and the second "Attempting to connect to host XRX92CABD.local." i'm starting to think that i didn't set up the TC correctly or i have some option in TC setup wrong.

We have a mac pro running Leopard server 10.5.4. Four leopard client computers (10.5.4 also) bound to the server. DNS is working, and users can log in fine to the server.
Im trying to set up network printers and I'm totally failing. The first printer is an HP laser plugged into a USB port on the back of the server. I add the printer in the System Preferences window. I've tested printing from the server itself and it works fine. In Server Admin, in the Print service, I create the queue (which sees the printer I just installed), I check IPP, and start the Print service. Heres where the annoyances begin. If I go to workgroup manager, click on one of the user accounts, go to preferences, and try to force the printer to show up in the user's list of printers, the list of AVAILABLE printers is empty! So I cant force the printer on the user.
Fine, but if I go to one of the client computers, log in, go to system preferences, and try to add the printer, nothing shows up! When I try to set the printer up on the client, Im making sure that Im selecting IPP, putting the server address in, but the queue name never shows up.
Where am I going wrong? And is this even the right way to be going about this? Is there any step by step process for this?Hi, not near one of my OS9 machines right now, but do you have Appletalk ON, and, umm, err, there's a place to Choose Ethernet & connect by IP. Then is Printer Sharing turned only on the one it's connected to?

Need helping printing to networked printers.
I need help setting up network printers that have a code on them for each individual. There is no place to put a code so the printer will know who is printing what. I have installed 3 printers and they will not print, they just go to a paused mode and when you hit resume in reverts back to pause because it is looking for a code. I have tried it another way but it asks for a user name and password and all we have are codes. The workplace is using a windows based server and the copiers are listed as followed.

I need help to be able to print from my mac. I also have parallels running with xp installed and all the printers are installed on that side and printing fine. Hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks in advanceHello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In order to provide the user with the ability to input a user code, the respective printer driver would have to provide the facility. If this feature did exist on a previous version of OS X, then you may have to check the vendors web site to see if there is a driver for 10.6.
If you are not sure if the function was supported previously, then go through all the user menus for the driver. The function may be present but located in an unusual location. Or it could require an additional file (aka plugin) that could be missing from the driver installation or not compatible with 10.6.
The other thing to note is that if you have the Mac's printing via a Windows queue, you will have to provide user credentials for SMB print queues. This is typically a Windows user account - not the Mac's account details. If you don't want to create accounts for the Mac users on the Windows server, then you can use LPD rather than SMB to connect to the Windows queues. This does require UNIX Printing Services to be enabled on the server.

Network printers take long time to show in control panel - devices and printers
G'day,
an annoying effect both on Win 8.1 and Win Server 2012 R2: after installing/connecting a network printer for a user, it takes about 10 minutes (sic!) till printer is shown in devices and printers...
Printer is shown and can be used immediately after connect in word/notepad, but properties of printers can only be managed via devices and printers. Work around for setting standard printer: open notepad, click
print and right-click printer.
But we have to choose a special printer profile, which cannot be done else than devices and printers.
Sometimes even previously installed printers do not show for minutes after logon...
Restarting spooler: no effect
Changing drivers: no effect
Printers are Konica C554 series and 4700P series with Konica PCL drivers.
Print server for network printers in Win Server 2012 R2 (VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2)
No other network issues.
Thanks and regards.
McButtonnOpen the printer folder the spooler team built. It's hidden but available and will list just the printers not the devices.
If the print shows up immediately, the spooler has the information. You will be running the shell command to invoke the old UI.

Enumerating into the Devices and printers UI is then the issue.
thanks

Adobe version checker : Network connection failed
Hello all,
I recently wanted to try the new "Adobe Mobile Packager" to publish a FL application.
I succeeded in making the .sis file, with an empty certificate. When installing the .sis application, all went fine.
But when I wanted to launch it, it asked me to install the "new" other "Adobe Version Checker" application... but when it tried to connect, i have a great "network connection failed" prompting to me. and the application could not be launched.
Any idea to solve this ?
Thanks.Hello,
Thanks for the feedback.
The device is a Nokia N95 8Go. The network I want to connect to is SFR
(French Network).
I didn't try with another network like Orange or Bouygues, I can try
this and report you the result.

The vm and host networking components failed to negotiate protocol version '4.0'
Hi,
I have the problem that when I start a VM with windows server 2012 on a hyper-v v2 host, it takes very long till the VM get bind the static or dynamic ip adress. I tried both, static and dynamic. In every case I see at the event viewer the following error:
the vm and host networking components failed to negotiate protocol version '4.0'
After a few minutes the VM gets bind the IP an everything works fine. But at the next time I reboot the machine the same failure appear.
Trying to use legacy network adapter results in the same problem. After this I tried to export the vm to a hyper-v v3 host. At first boot time
the problem didn't appear and the vm get's bind the ip adress without problems. Then after upgrading the integration services to hyper-v v3
version the same problem appears but without register it in the event viewer.
Does anybody know how I can fix this problem?
Kind Regards,
MarcusHi,
A MS KB records an issue when you run Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 based Virtual machine in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Server 2008R2:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2744129
There is a Microsoft update in this KB, you may install this KB in your Windows Server 2008 R2 and check the result.
While about this issue after you migrate the guest VM to Windows Server 2012 host, will it still has such error message after you remove all network adapters of the guest VM?
Install Windows update for the Hyper-V host, after that upgrade Integration service for the guest VM again to check the result.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

my crappy old works Dell is constantly dieing (sp?) on me!
i am tired of it so i want to bring my Macbook to work and use that.
thing is i MUST be able to print to 3 (Xerox, Hp and sharp) printers. all are on a windows server to which the PC can print to any of them. i can gain access to the server with my allocated UN/PW.
how do i set up and print to these printers?
IP addresses?
i cant install more than one driver as tried this before...?You should be able to connect to them on your mac by connecting to the network and server at work, then going to *System Preferences*, *Print & Fax*, and then click the + under the box on the left and looking in the Windows tab. The networked printers should be listed there, and you should be able to add them.

Winprint.dllI also have this problem that Adobe Reader will not print, but this only occurred for me after installation of MS Office 2010.
The proposed solution of changing default printers does not work for me!
Does anybody have a real explanation as to what causes this problem and a real solution for it?
I have already tried re-installing Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and this had no effect. I am using Windows XP with SP3.

PS CS4 doesn't see network printers
Hi. I have installed some network printers on my PC, and PS CS4 doesn't list them. It only lists local printers installed on my PC and the Adobe PDF (I have Acrobat). That is under File > Print... and also under File > Page Setup... > Printer... . All the other applications do list the network printers I have installed. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
