Intel iMac printing to LJ 2600n

Has anyone figured out how to get the HP Color LaserJet 2600n to work with an iMac core duo? Printer works fine with G5 DP and Toshiba laptop and Windows XP Pro all on the same network. Installation goes normally except no driver shows in the print using entry of the Printer Setup Utility. Same holds true with USB or Ethernet direct connection to the iMac. CLJ2600nOSX.dmg is the HP download for Universal Binary Full Software Solution. Any help out there?

This area is for G5 iMacs.

  • Tiger on iNtel iMac "Printing" over Airport to HP 2100M

    Nice new iNtel iMac 2GHz running Airport Extreme can't print via Airport to a networked HP 2100M. The HP has an EIO card and it's connected to the LAN by that cable.
    I have an old iMac that's hardwired to an ethernet hub that's being driven by the AEB and the HP 2100M is also connected to that hub.
    The old iMac sees the printer and prints just fine.
    The new Intel iMac doesn't see the HP over Appletalk and I'm not able to figure out how to setup the new iMac to print via Airport using the IP address of the HP printer.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Here's a 30,000 ft level view of my LAN:
    Internet Cloud =>Comcast Cable ISP =>Cable Router
    AEB =>Linksys Ethernet Hub
    •iMac 350MHz (don't laugh. She's still a beauty) OSX 10.2.8
    •HP 2100M with Network EIO card
    iNtel iMac (sees the Internet just fine via AEB, but can't see the printer for patootie!)
    iNtel iMac 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   HP 2100M with EIO network card, AEB LAN,

    Unfortunately, that didn't work. I power cycled the cable modem, AEB, router hub, and the printer and the iMac still can't "see" the printer.
    I've looked at the Airport discussions and this problem is a larger issue than the iNtel iMacs. It sounds like it's probably an AEB issue.
    I'm running the latest firmware to no avail. It almost sounds to me in the Apple literature that they only support USB printing through Airport. This would be a serious blunder as the business world relies more on networked server based laserwriters than USB dot matrix printers.

  • Printing with a networked Canon iR 3220 and my Intel iMac

    I am at my wits end and I hope someone can help.
    I am the sole Mac user in my company. I have a brand new, shiny 24" dual processor (intel) iMac running OS 10.4.9, that is connecting wirelessly to our network. We have a mixture of IIS and Linux servers (I believe the IIS is solely for the Windows Exchange server) Ther are 30 or so printers on the network and the one I am supposed to be printing to is a Canon Image Runner 3220 (iR 3220).
    I am no Mac newbie, but I can't get the thing to print correctly. I have updated the driver from Canon (v. 1.70PS) and the PPDs (v. 2.25), followed the instructions and it will not automatically select the correct PPD. When I reset the PPD manually, it spools to the printer, but then stops all my print jobs. I try to resume and it spools and stops.
    I have tried adding the printer via CanonIP, LPR, Appletalk (which gets me a message that I am connected incorrectly), setting up a sacrificial altar to the printing gods...nothing seems to work. I've tried using the iR 3200 driver and that doesn't work either.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate any help I can get at this point.
    Mike

    Hello Mike,
    The first thing you need to do is determine if the iR C3220 is using the Canon printer board or the imagePASS-C1/C2 print server option. If you look at the back of the iR C3220, and there is a rectangular box with an Ethernet cable connecting to the copier, and what looks something like a SCSI-2 cable also connected between the white box and the copiers interface board, then you have the imagePASS controller. This device requires a different driver to the PS v1.70 and PPD v2.x you are currently using. It also requires a queue name of 'print' or 'direct' (or 'hold' if you don't want the job to print) and it must be entered in lower case.
    Since it sounds like there are PC's on the network, have a look at their printer setup and see which driver they are using. You can also check their port config to see how they are connecting.
    If the iR C3220 doesn't have the imagePASS print controller and the PC users have the PCL5c driver installed, then you may find that the iR C3220 doesn't have the PS option - it may be PCL5c only. The easiest way to tell is to open the printers web page (called RUI) by entering the printers IP address in your browser of choice. With the default page open, select Additional Functions and then Custom Settings (you may be prompted for a system ID & password). If you get past this the new view will show if you have PS as well as PCL. If there is no PS, then you will have to look at installing the latest version of Gutenprint and selecting Generic PCL5c as your 'ppd'.
    If the PS option is installed, then the v1.70 driver should be okay, although there is a trick to adding it. In the Printer Setup Utility, after clicking Add, select More Printers and then Canon IP (PS). In the new window input the IP address and a queue name of LP. When you click Add the copier is queried by the driver to determine what model it is, meaning that once it is displayed in the printer list it should show the iR C3220. Given that this didn't happen for you (and if the imagePASS is not being used) then a likely cause can be the disabling of SNMP in the copier setup. You may have to get the IT guys to enable this (or at least explain why it is off).
    If you go the other way of manually selecting LPD as the protocol (AppleTalk is not supported by the PS v1.70 driver) then you need to ensure that for the print using you select iR C3220 CanonPS for the ppd. If you see Canon iR C3220, don't use this as it is the wrong ppd for the PS driver - it is there as part of the PPD installer.
    If you want to try using the PPD, then you can use AppleTalk but of course this has to be enabled in the copier, and if your the only Mac then it is likely that it is disabled. Again the RUI page can tell you this or you can print a Config page from the copier (I think you go Additional Functions > Report Settings > Network > User Data List).
    Hope something above is helpful and if not, please reply back.

  • I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library"  what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

    I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported.  the file is in the iphoto library folder"  also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
    not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

  • Printing problems with HP laserJet 1320 and new Intel iMac

    My new Intel iMac won't print to my HP 1320 from Eudora or from web browsers. The applications "quit unexpectedly". From Safari, nothing happens.
    I can print PDF documents and Office documents with no problems. The Intel is connected to a router via Airport. The printer is connected to the router via Ethernet. My old G4 iMac prints fine (connected to router via Ethernet) as does my G4 laptop (connected via Airport).

    A post from another threat that might help.

    Solution!!!
    Just spent 90 minutes with some nice folks in level 1 and level 2 support.
    Problem seems to be that I used migration utility to import the soul of my old machine into the new machine. When you do that, you bring along the old print system (PPC vs Intel).
    I had upgraded to 10.4.5 after the migration and assumed that it would correct any problem like that, but it had not.
    After a great deal of trial and error, the solution was to go to move disk/library/printers to the desktop and restart the system
    Then use the the install disk 1 that came with the iMac and use the OPTIONAL INSTALLS package to reinstall the printer drivers.
    Worked like a champ.
    Suspect similar problem might happen for any of you with I/O drivers.

  • Intel iMac/PowerMac G4--Sharing a Printer

    I've been reading a bunch of posts, and just get confused, so hopefully someone can help me out with a simple answer. Have a PowerMac G4 running OS 9.1, with 2 printers connected with a USB hub (HP LaserJet 1320 and a Canon i860); have just added an Intel iMac (OS X 10.4.9) to the office. What do I need to be able to use both printers from either computer? It seems like a router is the answer, but I'm not totally clear on that. It would also be nice to be able to access the internet with both as well (Verizon DSL), but if only the iMac can do that, that's ok. We have an Asante FH305 ethernet hub, so I don't know if that can be used in some way . . . I'd like to do this the simplest way, for the least amount of $$ (doesn't everyone?)
    Thanks.

    Let's take a quick breeze through networking 101 for non-majors (grin). Some printers are made to be shared over a network - they have an ethernet interface and are generally called network printers. Other printers, generally known as dedicated printers, are made to be connected to a single computer. Today the preferred interface for these printers is USB. A USB printer cannot be connected to an ethernet hub, only a network printer can.
    Recognizing that lots of us have multiple computers but no pressing need for multiple printers, Apple built into its OS the ability to share a dedicated printer with other computers that are on the home network. That's what I recommended to you.
    There is a second option that can work for some printers. There's a device called a USB print server. It connects to an ethernet network and, as its name implies, lets you connect USB printers to it. It doesn't work for all printers though. I used to own the same Canon printer you do and I have an Airport Extreme which includes a USB port for printer serving. It worked fine. Whether your laser printer would though, I cannot say.

  • Intel iMac + USB Printer

    Hi,
    My HP Deskjet 845c Printer no longer works with my new intel iMac.
    (previously it did work with Powerbook G4 1.67, also running 10.4.6)
    I checked the Apple support document :
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057
    for printers supported with intel macs & this printer IS listed as supported.
    I've also followed the steps described, including reseting the print manager.
    I AM able to print a test page, using the HP Driver utility via Printer Setup Utility.
    This works fine.
    However, if I attempt to print anything else (textedit, photoshop, preview) i get a badly garbled printout, letters large or streched & broken up onto several pages.
    I'm confused why the test page works fine from Printer Setup, but anything else is junk - Any ideas?

  • Intel iMac/Canon printer problew

    I have just upgraded from an old Grape iMac (which I had updated to OS X)to a new intel machine. I have a Canon Pixma printer which worked fine with the old iMac but with the new one it prints everything a quarter size, even when it shows it full size in print preview.
    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.1)   Not sure which version of 10.4, but it's a new machine.

    I have a CanoScan LiDE50 scanner that isn't even recognized by the Intel-Mac. I get a message that it is not connected, check the cable (but it does work fine on older Macs, I have checked). Canon says to open the driver in Rosetta, but that option does not show up in Get Info.
    I went to the SourceForge site and found an updated driver for my old Epson 777i printer. Maybe that site can help you.

  • 20" Intel iMac and Samsung Laser Printer

    I ordered my new 20" Intel iMac last Saturday, the 14th. From day one, it said estimated ship was Jan. 24th. Yesterday I checked the status and it still said the 24th, but it also said estimated delivery for Jan. 31st. I was sad because when i ordered it, it said estimated ship 3-5 business days. Jan. 24th would be longer than that. So I checked my e-mail this morning, and lo and behold, I have an e-mail from Apple saying my new computer shipped out this morning, making it 5 business days since I ordered it (4 if they considered Monday a holiday). I just wanted to reassure others that the ship date may not be as late as it's estimated.
    My question is this... I have a Samsung laser printer (the ML-1740) hooked up to my fiance's Windows XP machine. My Sony Vaio desktop (which I'm giving to my mom) can see the printer just fine. It prints just as if it was hooked up to it. My Powerbook however, cannot see the Samsung printer over the network. I'm a nursing student and print out tons of text only stuff, so I really need to use the laser printer with my new Mac. I've see a lot of different discussions on Mac drivers for this particular model, but I haven't tried any of them on my Powerbook, and I'm curious as to whether or not any of them would even work with the new Intel Mac. My other question is whether or not there is any way I can get my iMac to see the printer on the Windows. I don't necessarily have to install drivers on the Mac if I don't need to. I just need a solution to make it work. If I have to install something, that's fine. If I can just make it print over the network, that's great too. I don't ever use any of the settings the Samsung software provides, so just basic printing is fine. I just don't want to have to e-mail all my documents to myself and then go to the Windows machine to have to print. I apologize if any of this is confusing. What are some of the things I can try to make this work? Or can someone point me in another direction to get the answers. I was stupid in not realizing that the printer didn't support Mac OS X when I bought it, even though I already have one Mac. Thanks so much! I love these forums!

    My shipping was the same way, maybe they had a supply shortage of RAM or just a long queue of computers waiting for upgrades and not enough people to perform them. Mine shipped today with an estimate of for the 25th.
    I have looked around on Apples site and couldn't find anything about supported printers. You will have to install some form of driver on the Mac. You will have to make sure the PC has it shared correctly. Read about printer sharing in the windows help files. I don't know any more off hand.

  • Intel iMac Postscript printer support

    Am considering a new Intel based iMac but have read that not all device drivers in the PPC version of OS X 10.4.4 are supported by the Intel version. Specifically, I have an Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS and an Imation USB SuperDisk that I wish to continue using. I've heard that the necessary PPDs for the LaserWriter are not included with the Intel based systems. Anyone know if they are supported by the Intel iMac or of a documentation from Apple on that subject? Will buy an iMac G5 if the support isn't there for the Intel. Don't want to find out after I open the box.

  • Performance issue with brand new intel iMac extreme

    I am at a loss to explain a problem I've been having and I thought I might put it out to you guys.
    In September I purchased a macbook Pro (2.4 ghz, 4 GB RAM) to use in video editing with Final Cut Pro, and for the most part I've been thrilled. I use 1TB LaCie external drives connected via FW800, and perform Multiclip editing with 4-5 video streams at a time and only on occasion have dropped frames during the editing process.
    In December I determined that I needed to have an additional system, and thought a 2.8Ghz Intel iMac extreme would be an excellent choice, since for the same price I could get a little more power in the processor, more hard drive space and a bigger screen to work on. When we picked up the new system in the store (The Grove Apple Store in LA), we had them upgrade the memory to 4GB.
    Since day one we have had performance issues, including problems playing streaming and DVD video, severe delays mounting and unmounting drives (firewire and USB) and application images, and freezing while doing even simple tasks like printing or checking email. These problems occur even while there are no external drives are connected. I have none of these issues with the Macbook Pro, which has virtually an identical set of programs installed, and both running the same version of Leopard.
    I already took the original iMac back to the store, and they exchanged it, but did not have 4GB sets of RAM in stock so they took the RAM from the original machine and put it in the new one. They said if I continued to have problems then it was most likely the RAM and I should come back when they got more in stock. I DID have the same problems with the new machine, and took it back to the Apple Store and they swapped the memory. It seemed to improve the issue, but now I'm seeing the same severe performance issues again.
    All tech support can do is tell me to do a PRAM reset, which seems to improve things very temporarily (but that may be my imagination) or have me restart, which at least has the ability to make the printing of documents capable.
    What I'm wondering is if it is likely that the RAM is the issue and I just got another bad batch, or if the iMac has some weird glitch that isn't present in the macbook Pro...?? Or could I have possibly gotten 2 bad systems in a row? It's extremely frustrating, and I KNOW it shouldn't be this way! It's so bad I get better performance out of my single-core G5 tower! How do I get a good working system that operates like it should? Am I better off getting another Macbook Pro? I'd rather not for several reasons...
    I have xbench on both the MBP and the iMac and can provide test numbers if they'll help, as well as any other info.
    Thank you so much for reading my novella of a post and also for any insight you have!
    Best,
    Travis

    Hi!
    I got the same problem with my MacBook when it still was new in may 2006. It was supposed to be one of the faster Laptops around but it was soooo slow it drove me nuts. I can only advise to have a look if there is something hugging up your RAM and run some tests using these programs on your machine:
    Xbench:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10081
    MenuMeters:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10451
    If they show any unusual results you might have your problem...
    As to my problem with the MacBook: I did a complete re-install (writing the harddisk over with zeroes) and suddenly everything was just fine. (But be sure to back all your files before that, I learned this one the hard way.) I know it is just a standard answer, but it worked out for me this time...
    Hope this helps in some ways.
    Cheers,
    Rene

  • Intel iMac will not boot past gray screen

    Intel iMac will not boot past gray screen
    my system:
    new (month old) 24" intel imac, 2.8 ghz, 4 gb ram.
    running: leopard (upgraded from tiger, which was pre-installed at purchase), installed 10.5.1 update right before this huge problem occurred.
    install discs on-hand: two-disc tiget set, single leopard upgrade disc.
    what led to this:
    i wanted to install windows using bootcamp on a 50 gb partition.
    at this point i was running leopard 10.5
    i followed all bootcamp instructions, printing out the guide, as well. once i got into the windows setup, i was prompted to choose a partition to install windows. unlike the bootcamp guide, which showed three partitions, one clearly labeled "bootcamp", i saw only one partition. not wanting to risk writing over my mac partition, i quit the setup and rebooted the mac os. after some googling around, i looked for firmware updates (didn't need any), and then software updates. i decided to try updating to 10.5.1.
    i then ran through boot camp again, deleting my previous windows partition, creating a new one, and moving forward as before. once again, i was only shown one partition to choose from in the windows setup. i exited the setup again to reboot through the mac os, but this time, i was only given a blank gray screen.
    here's what i have tried so far:
    booting from a CD, holding down the C or D keys: no response (in fact, i have to restart the computer holding down the mouse button to be able to eject the CD)
    booting with option key held down: gray screen
    booting with option key held down with external bootable firewire drive attached: the firewire drive appears as a boot icon, and i can click on it within a five second window, but then the screen freezes after that time period, and nothing changes
    booting into target mode while attached to another mac: gray screen (no firewire icon, and drive never shows up on other mac)
    resetting NVRAM: i'm able to hear the boot chimes, but no difference in performance. gray screen every time
    Safe boot: nothing but a gray screen
    Verbose mode: gray screen
    Single user mode: gray screen
    Single user mode with firewire drive attached: occasionally (not every time), i am able to get the white on black terminal to show up. from here, i'm able to run fsck, but it appears to only be checking the firewire drive. i have tried several times to boot from here, and once it took me to a blue screen with movable arrow cursor, but it never went beyond this.
    is there anything else left to try before taking it to apple?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

    I'd call Apple support at this point. You'll need
    to put this issue on the record.
    Call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
    The wait may be long for an agent to come on the line
    so expect that and have some other stuff to do in the meantime.
    If you have the applecare protection plan, I'd ask about "onsite"
    service.

  • HP Color LaserJet Problems with intel iMac

    Can anyone give me advice on the following:-
    When I try to print from my wife's new intel iMac 20" to our HP Color LaserJet 2550L, it doesn't work and print center gives me the following error message ... "The process "hppostprocessing" terminated unexpectedly on signal 5" .
    The printer is connected directly to the iMac via USB. It's not on a network.
    I ran the HP Color LaserJet installer from the original CD that came with the printer and when that didn't work I downloaded another (latest) Color LaserJet installer (dated 2004) from the HP website. Still getting the same error message from PrintCenter.
    When I look at the HP installer log, it appears that the installer tried several times without success to install plugins into the PPD folder (HD->Library->Printers->PPD).
    After trying installation and checking out my PPD folder (above) there is nothing in it.
    This printer has been (still) working fine with our older 20inch iMac.
    Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Same happened with my photosnart. Here is part of the email from HP
    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
    I understand from your email that you are not able to print to your
    photosmart 1218 printer from your new imac.
    I believe you are correct when you mention the glitch between the new
    Intel processor in the iMac.
    I have checked the Apple website and noted the pre-installed printer
    drivers that ship with this operating system, do NOT include drivers for
    the Photosmart 1218 printer. There are Gimp print drivers available for
    the Photosmart P1000 printer. They may work, but provide only basic
    printer functionality. (see the Apple document listed below).
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057#hpdrivers
    I understand that our engineers are investigating the driver issue with
    the Intel-based Macs, however, I cannot provide you with an expected
    date of resolution. Your printer was manufactured in 2000, and the most
    recent drivers are from Aug 2005. These drivers were created before the
    Intel based macs were available.

Maybe you are looking for
