Knocked out wireless compatibility with network printers?

I'm having this same issue with my 2008 MacBook running 10.7.5. Reading some other forums, it seems as if Lion knocked out wireless compatibility with network printers...
I have rebooted my machine, uninstalled and reinstalled all my drivers and continue to have this issue while not having the same issue with my Dell (work issued) laptop. First time a PC has ever performed better than my Mac.

I still have questions about how to connect the Brother printer through ethernet. When connected does the airport utility have some area where you can identify the printer as a network printer as opposed to USB?
The AirPort Utility would only come into play if the printer was attached to the TC's USB port. Printers, attached by Ethernet, would have to "network-ready." Controlling these types of printers would be through the printer driver that you would access through the operating system interface.
In my HP example, the HP printer driver does provide access to a number of features particular to this printer model. Most manufacturers include an installation CD that provide useful utilities ... albeit most are written for Windows. I would suggest checking out the Brother support site to see if they have Mac-specific drivers or utilities.

  • Web JetAdmin 8.1 compatibility with newer printers.

    Has anyone had experience with Web JetAdmin 8.1 compatibility with either an M9050 or an M4555?  I don't use it myself, but our development people do and they don't want to upgrade to 10.2 unless absolutely necessary.  Thanks.

    LarryDGoodman,
    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.

  • Time Capsule compatibility with network (ethernet) printer

    Does TC support connecting a network printer (all in one) via an ethernet connection?
    The manual doesn't show anything on this just usb descriptions. I have Time Capsule mainly used as a router connected to my modem. 1 Imac, 2 wireless mac laptops, and 1 wireless pc using the network - no problems w/internet or file sharing etc. However, I don't see through airport utility that there is any spot to set up network printer just USB. I would like to use my Brother MFC-5840cn to network print and scan to folders. Please help solve this question if you can. Previously I did this with a linksys router. Thanks!

  • Issues with macbook and wireless compatibility with netgear router

    my macbook wireless is extremely spotty with my netgear router at home.
    the connection is sometimes very good, but other times, extremely unreliable.
    the wireless connection to the router is perfect, 4 bars. and it is actually within 10ft of the router itself.
    i use my macbook constantly at my college student center, and the connection to the network and internet is perfect...
    is there any way to fix my internet connection in regards to the netgear router?? (all other PC + PC labtops are perfect with it. its just my macbook that has issues)

    I have to agree with you.
    I have a Netgear Cable Router, my iPhone & my wifes iPhone, my Vista PC & my older Vista Laptop connect with out a problem and are rock solid to boot.
    My new MacBook Aluminium seems to be very tempremental at best. Dont get me wrong, i love my new macbook but i am a little unhappy that this is happening. Looking at others on this forum, it seems to be across the board so will happily await a firmware/driver update from apple.
    With any luck, this should be resolved shortly.

  • Ref.: Setting up Macbook Pro to work with network printers.

    I am tired looking for an answer for my issue. I am 5 hours going in and out of blogs and foruns trying to set my printers on my recently bought Macbook Pro with Mac X (10.6.2).
    At home I have a home network with on Windows Vista PC and one Epson TX105 Series printer, and I have a Windows Network at work where I am trying to set a HP Laserjet 1505n.
    Both cases my notebook tries to reach the printer without success.
    I've added the printer all the ways possible and I couldn't get my Mac to print. I've tried every configuration possible.
    Anyone could give me a hand?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    2) Have you tried attaching the second to your Mac and printing from there.
    No, I haven't. The Office's network administration does not allow me to do that yet. We scheduled to do that next week. (The other printer is installed at home).
    You are very welcome. And on what's above, good, hope it works.
    3) On your network, what is the printer attached to?
    In my home network, the Epson TX105 is attached to a Windows Vista Home Premium PC ....
    I couldn't tell if the printer works when attached to the Mac at home. Yes? Are you able to share files at home with the Vista machine? Here are some Vista settings that are likely to work across the board for you.
    1. Select a folder (and your printer) to share, right click on the folder, choose sharing, and, using the remaining menus/options, share the folder with everyone allowing read and write (later, after getting things working, you can change who is allowed to share the folder).
    2. Go Control Panel > Network and, turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing, and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on). Turn on allow network access if there is a box to do so (can't remember).
    3. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).

  • Troubles printing with networked printers

    I have a printer connected to a Mac Mini (with Leopard installed) and am trying to send something to print from my G5. The computer sees the printer but it always comes back saying "com.apple.print.recoverable-warning". Apparently it is having trouble communicating with the printer. The computers are connected through a wireless connection using a airport extreme base station. The printer is physically connected to the Mini since the usb has a external drive connected to it. There are no problems printing from the Mini but only when trying to do it from another computer on the network.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    D.J.

    I get the same message (com.apple.print.recoverable-warning), but my printer is on, plugged in to a USB hub which is plugged into the TC. I've re-started the printer, plugged it directly into the TC USB port, added it as a new TC printer to my printer list and selected it, but no change. I'm about to give up on shared printing with the TC and just plug the printer back into one of my Macs.
    Anyone have any other ideas? (Despite high hopes, the new Airport Utility update did nothing for me.)

  • Have you fixed the compatibility with HP printers and Symantec yet for the latest Firefox? I am waiting before installing.

    You told me to install the 3.7 version in April. It messed up both my printer and my Norton security. I downgraded successfully. I am waiting to hear that HP printers and Symantec are now compatible. You said this was their responsibility, but it is your responsibility to inform us when you have become compatible with the most common devices, security and other programs. How else would we find out except by bombing our computers by upgrading you?

    It seems like Symantec has.Hope this helps-

  • Creative Audigy 2 ZS digital OUT connector compatibility with Bose Lifesytle Series

    Hi all,
    I am a SoundBlaster fan and have been using their SB cards for a long time.
    I recently got a new SoundBlaster 2 ZS Card from my friend, I hooked it up to a 5. Logitech Speakers (analog), it works fine.
    I tried connecting it to my Bose LifeStyle (35) Series II system.
    I bought a Phono plug to /8" Mono Plug Cable and connected the Digital Out (of Audigy) to the Coax digital-In of Bose System.
    There's no sound.
    I tried many combinations like,
    SPDIF passthru,
    Changing Sampling Rate
    Re-installing the Drivers
    I know well that the BOSE system works fine, as I am using the Digital Coax connector to connect to my DVD Player and I also connect it to the SPDIF connector on the ASUS System (onboard 5. audio). I have'nt faced any problems there.
    The only difference between the DVD Player / ASUS system and Audigy is the the first two use a standard SPDIF while Audigy does not.
    I am wondering if this connector difference is a problem or is it a compatibility issue between Bose Lifestyle 35 and Audigy 2ZS.
    I am posting this to see if anyone had similar experience, or have any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Bobby

    Hi everybody, I have a similar question:?I'm building a mediacenter pc, and I need a Creative audio card for carry out 5. surround signal from the pc to my Bose Lifestyle SPDIF connector... case is similar to above, except for I don't have a Soundblaster card embedded in the motherboard... ?I've read something in the Forum, but still can't figure out which sound card should be the best for me AND which cable should I use to connect them... Any help will be really appreciated...
    Many thanks and sorry for my english... :smileytongue:

  • Wireless compatibility with G3

    hi there,
    I have just upgraded my apple G3 from 9.0.4 to 9.1. i have cable broadband attached to my desktop and i am using DLink wireless router to connect wirelessly through my MAC. i am using Cisco Aironet 5Ghz Wireless Adapter for MAc (i hope its compatible). can some one please tell me how do i configure my MAC so i can use wireless internet through my wireless router?
    thank you
    sunny

    donny - since I haven't had any luck with my ethernet port, I've been looking into wireless usb adapters. I'm hoping the Asus wl-167g takes the place of the dlink 122's. Asus has drivers for osx 10.3 and 10.4 on their site as well. (http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=WL-167g)
    found this article on silvermac.com discussing the wl-167g
    http://www.silvermac.com/2006/asus-wl-167g-on-mac-os-x/
    Think I'll be ordering one soon, after a little more research. If it works, it'll be a great deal for $30 shipped.

  • Samsung CLX-3175 printer (not wireless) compatability with

    I have a Samsung CLX-3175 printer (not wireless)Am i right in understanding that if i connect an airport extreme to it, that it will become a wireless printer? any issues i should know about this before buying an air port? thanks all

    You might want to check with Samsung support to verify if your model will work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.  If it does, then you will be able to print from your computer using the wireless connection.
    There is a good chance that the printer will work because it does appear on Apple's list of compatible models:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
    Important Note......If your printer is an All-in-One type device, only the print function will work when the printer is connected to the AriPort Extreme.  Copy, Scan, Maintenance, etc will not be supported.  You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your computer for those features to be available.
    If you are asking about printing from an iPad, even if your printer is supported, you will likely not be able to print from the iPad unless you install an App like Print Central on the iPad.

  • Macintosh Compatibility with Networkable A/V Receivers (Yamaha, Sony, Denon

    My trusty HK 8000 died and I researched high end receivers such as the Sony 6400Es. In every instance, they all said their receivers are not Macintosh compatible and I could not stream audio or video thru the receiver via the network but it would work on PC based computers. The manuals all said the same thing. At least they never mentioned the MAC. Am I missing something? Anyone trying to stream form thier mac to a receiver? What brand/model?????

    Hello,
    Have you tried the Onkyo SR-607, its 7.2 channels and supports DTS HD and Dolby Digital HD.  Otherwise if you want  you can look at Anthem:
    http://www.anthemav.com/NewSitev2.0/Product2.html
    or B&K:

    Outlaw Audio also makes a reciever, its discounted but you may still be able to find it:

  • Is anyone having issues with printing to network printers with 10.8.4?

    I have upgraded our schools to Mountain Lion. Ever since the beginning of the year we have had issues with network printers. They are all HP printers, when they go to sleep a user has to turn off the printer and turn it back on then resend the print job. Now users are being asked to put a password itno the Print Operator group. This never happened before. Cups is changing the queue names to MCX_1 or 2 etc. Not keeping the queue name. All these people are in WGM and have printers set for their group. So I have reset the printer settings on the machines, then restart relog in and get the list of printers they can print too and within 1 day they are unable to print. I am trying my very best to get this issue fixed and all solutions have been exausted. So without having to go to every computer and going into the Ldadmin group thru a terminal, is there anything that anyone has done to fix this issue with out visiting every computer. Thank you.

    The printers failing to wake from sleep is an issue. A print request should be waking them.
    You have not mentioned what printer server is involved. I could assume it is OS X Server since you mentoned WGM, but it would be nice to have you confirm this. Then I can start to suggest some actions.

  • Network printers taking approximately 15 minutes to appear in Devices and Printers

    Found an issue with network printers. When they are installed either manually or via Group policy preferences, they don't appear in Devices in Printers for around 15 minutes, sometimes longer. However they can be seen within Applications such as Word,
    Excel etc.
    If we reboot the workstation immediately after installing the printer and log back in, the printers are visible.
    The issue doesn't occur with local printers.

    Hi,
    This problem can be caused by Network proxy problem. So, first of all, please check if you had setting any proxy in your computer.
    In addition, If you using any security software, please try to disable them temporarilly for test.
    If no use, try to following method for test.
    1. In Control Panel, goto System [WIN+X -> Y]
    2. Click "Advanced system settings"
    3. Click "Hardware" Tab then "Device Installation Settings" 
    4. Select "No Let me choose what to do" and "Never install driver software from Windows Update"
     (Optional) Uncheck "Automatically get the device app and info provided by your device manufacturer"

  • MacBook Pro and Leopard knock out my wireless network

    I am new to Mac, just having purchased the MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.1. installed. I have a Netgear WPN824 router that works perfectly with windows based computers. I use WEP 64 bit security. The MacBook connected with no problem and surfs the web fine until I try to download certain files on the MacBook (such as the HP drivers for my all in one printer) or try certain video feeds online , such as a cnn video. The download not only stops midstream but actually knocks out my entire network causing me to have to unplug my cable modem and router and restart everything. This is a real problem. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I can download the same files on a Windows laptop with no problem. Help.

    Hmm. It might not be the MBP. Are you using Safari? I've noticed that Safari at times is incompatible with many websites. Try downloading Firefox and try the same downloads.
