Jetdirect 300x print server wont print from my imac

I have an iMac running 10.6.8 and I would like to print over my newtwork using a hp jetdirect 300x which is attached to a hp 5p lazerjet printer. The windows xp notebook i have works fine through it. I can see a jetdirect socket on the list on my Mac when i am trying to connect to it using the add a printer function and i printed out the pcl config page using my windows notebook. I used the ip address from there but nothing i do gets a print order through. either it unendingly tries to connect and doesn't or it shows a printer in the selection window but registers a busy will try in 5 seconds or does not connect. I understand apple discontinued appletalk with this operating system and I could find no drivers or printserver software on hp's website for apple to download to make this work. can anyone suggest something to do to make my iMac and printserver work together. I have another hp color lazerjet 2600n that works with the iMac just by plugging it in and loading the cd that came with it. I don't have a cd for the Jetdirect 300x. Could i get one somewhere and would it have the apple drivers to make this work if I could?

vic11,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
I hope this helps.

Creating Queue, Print Serve, and Printer

We are using Novell Netware 4.x.
We have a HPLJ5 SI printer with a CNET Print Server attached via the LP
cable port then attached to the network.
When creating the print queue, print server, and printer via the Netware
Administrator it appears that nothing is seen on the locally attached
print server.
I have reviewed the config on the Print Server, all appears correct, but
when I add the queue, server, and printer, the system does not see the
prin server?
I have been recently introduced to Novell, so please bear with me if the
info to answer is not all here.
TIA,
Bill

We are using IPX/netware.
The print server is configured with:
1. The print server name
2. The Netware server name
3. NDS Tree and Context
I have also created the Queue, Print Server, and Printer in the
organization. The print queue does have the print server and printer in
the assignmenets area.
I guess I am a little confused. If the print server is attached to the
printer what is the relationship between the print server and the queue?
And what makes this different between that and a print server and queue on
the server itself?
I guess you can tell I am a little (or maybe even a lot) lost!
TIA,
Bill

PowerShell Print Server remove checkmark from print share "List in the Directory"

I needed to remove the checkmark in the "List in the directory" box under printer queue sharing for several hundred print queues on multiple Windows 2003 print servers. I ended up doing it manually because I could not figure out how to do it with
PowerShell. Would like to be prepared for next time and learn a bit more about PowerShell. Scripting newbie. Anyone able to get me started? Couldn't find the registry key pertaining to the setting though I could find it under get-wmiobject
- class win32_printer ... -property published. Have googled for 2 days. Most of the scripts suggestions that seem to apply are a bit more extensive and complicated than I am willing to tackle with my experience level.

Great code. I wanted the opposite (to enable it) so I wrote this - which checks to see if the printer has a . in the portname (which for me shows it has an IP address) and to see that it's not already shared.
$printers = Get-WMIObject -class Win32_Printer -computer localhost
foreach ($printer in $printers) {
IF ($Printer.PortName.Contains(".") -and $printer.published -eq $false) {
$printer.Name + " : " + $printer.published
$printer.published = $true
$printer.put()

Print Server - network printing

I would like to share a printer in my network. I installed the printer as shown in the manuel. The printer is connected via usb to the server. I can print locally but not from the network.
If I send a print job from a max os x client the printer management tool will open up and displays the job correct, the only unusual is that it's showing me that he is searching for printers. Sometimes is takes longer, sometime it's quicker. But at the end it shows always "Connecting with printer". After awhile it tries to rebuild the printer and finally it tries to print again after 5 seconds.
At the CUPS the printer is installed and shared properly. At the server management tool SMB and LPR is enabled- Ipp and printer quote are disabled.
At CUPS the following options are marked:
Show printers shared by other systems ; Share printers connected to this system; allow printing from the internet; allow remote administration
thank you in advance.
Kind regards Marc

As John suspected, the LaserJet 5L is a non-Postscript printer, which was never supported by HP for use with Macs. No MacOS 9.x printer drivers exist for the LaserJet 5L. It can be made to work with MacOS X only because of the availability of the third-party printer drivers provided by either HPIJS or Gimp-Print.
What you could do - enable printer sharing of this printer on your Mac mini. Then set up printing from the iMac to the shared printer created by the Mac mini by following the advice at:
Printing to a Mac OS X shared printer from Mac OS 9 via LPD/LPR.

I want to know if Ican connect a print server (to print with several wireless printers) to the new airport express given that it has wan and lan ports. Tks!

The print server that I want to connect allows me to choose among 2 usb printers and 01 serail port printer. It needs to be connected to a router through a lan port. Given that the all new airport express now come with a wan and a lan port, i want to know if I can connect this device to the airport express.

You're welcome.
Beware that while USB print servers are commonly available and inexpensive, finding one with a serial port is more of a challenge. Apple Stores in the US do not sell them. Call the iStore before going there.
If you need recommendations for obtaining a print server with a serial port, let me know.

Linksys Wireless Print Server & HP Printer

Does anyone know if I can use my Linksys wireless print server which is attached to my HP All-in-One Inkjet printer for printing on my MacBook Pro? When I go to add a printer, nothing is detected - neither the HP or the Print Server.

I am facing the same problem too, except that my printer is a CANON. I can't seem to see the printer over the wireless network. However, when I connect the printer hardwired to my MBP, everything works fine and I am able to print normally.

Vitrual Print Server to Print Standard Support

Can a Vitrual Print Server be used for Print Standard Support or Advanced Support.
Are there different Print Server Script that I should use other then:
/xmlpserver/convert
Any information would be great. Thanks

Inplace upgrades (As Christopher said) are a bad idea, they bring along with them all the old patches and other cruft that you want to avoid since the old system has been maintained. Upgrading the server should bring along all the old settings, so
yes this should work as you hope. The one bad thing if you were to rebuild you would have to re-add all the print shares.
This really isn't an AD question and would suggest in the future you post in the General Windows Server forum.

Hi @Salsify,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Deskjet 3050a will print an internet page but not any documents on Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this but happy to help!
How is the printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Are you able to make standalone copies with the printer? Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
In the meantime, I would recommend to try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you soon!

HP Printer 1606DN Wont print on Network

I have installed an HP Laserjet 1606DN on my network but can not print to it. I can ping and get to the web interface but no printing.
If I put the printer on to a small switch with a laptop the printer works.
Any suggestions?

Hi paulplatyp
I understand you can access the embedded web server for the printer but you can't print but when the printer is connected to a small switch with a laptop the printer works.
The printer should be connected with a ethernet cable and going directly into a router. (not a switch)
Make sure the printer isn't in a error state.
Print off a new configuration page.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02005918&lc=en&product=4110410&tmp...
Turn off any firewalls and antivirus software temporarily to test the printer.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor to fix common printing and scanning
problems.

Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What is the IP Address?
What network setup do you have? (Modem/router/2 routers/booster/airport/switch)
What brand are they?
How many devices are already setup on the router? (computers, printers, ipads)

Printing to airport express from multiple imacs

I have two Intel based iMacs that share a Canon ip4300 printer via Airport Express (connected to the USB port on the airport Express). One of the iMacs prints perfectly and very fast. The second (and closer unit to the AE) prints extremely slow and can take an hour to print one photo. I disconnected the AE and plugged the USB directly into the second iMac and it too prints perfectly and very fast. So it seems to be something to do with the WiFi connection between the second iMac and the AE that is causing the problem. I have downloaded new firmware for the AE and drivers for the printer. I have reconfigured that AE from scratch. What should I do?

When you say that you installed the "drivers" for your Dell laptop, does this mean that you also installed Bonjour for Windows, which is on the CD that came with the AirPort Express?
If you haven't installed Bonjour for Windows on the Dell, you can download it here:

Printer C6180 wont print

My Photosmart C6180 will not recognize that the new maginta ink cartrige is full, I have tried two new ones. And it will not print with black only. I shut the printer off and started over with no success. Also shut it down again, removed all ink cartriges and installed them after turning printer back on. No success. Any ideas what to do?

Hi @MeaMoe
Let's perform a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for 1 minute. While it is unplugged, hold down the power button on the printer for 10-15 seconds to release any built up power, then after the minute has passed, plug the printer back in.
If the issue remains unresolved after following all of the steps above, I recommend contacting HP. Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. HP will, at HP's option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
They could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
I hope this helps.
