Labelwriter 400 sharing on Snow Leopard

We are moving from a 10.2 client that was sharing printers to a 10.6 server.
On the 10.2 client it was easy to share a Labelwriter 400: add the printer, turn on sharing, access it from other machines.
On the 10.6 server something is missing. We can install the Labelwriter 400 on the server and print from it, no problem. We can share the printer using LPR and Bonjour, again no problem.
When we add the shared printer on the client however the only driver available is a generic Labelwriter Driver, which means the labelwriter software does not work because it wants a specific Labelwriter 400 driver. So when we launch the Labelwriter Application on a client it says it cannot find a printer, tells us to re-install the driver, and quits.
We can, if we connect the Labelwriter 400 directly to a clients USB port, add it and everything works with it as a USB printer.
So the question is how do we get the shared printer to use the specific Labelwriter 400 printer driver instead of the generic one that is on the 10.6 server ?
Any pointers would be helpful, even just where the heck is the specific Labelwriter 400 driver stored on the server ?

I have a Dymo LabelWriter 330 that works under Snow Leopard. Make sure you have the latest
firmware update from Dymo installed (unfortunately this can only be done from Windows on a computer with a serial port - the required cable did come in the box with my 330).
Occasionally the 330 will disappear from the printers listed on my iMac. If it does not recover by uninstalling the Dymo software and re-installing the Dymo software, hooking the 330 to a Windows
machine and attempting the firmware update again (usually it just connects to the 330 and reports no update applied) seems to reset something in the the 330 so that the iMac will allow it to re-install.
Process takes some time and some reboots which is a PITA but the 330 will come back.

Apple has broken Windows file sharing in Snow Leopard

Hi Folks,
Having a serious problem here.
Apple has broken Windows file sharing in Snow Leopard. Many others on the forums are experiencing the same thing. I was almost ready to fully switch to the Mac, then I thought I would upgrade to SL, then this happened...
OK so I have a Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server. It's pretty much the same as the standard Windows 2k3 server except that it throws in a few extras (And takes some things away). I'm also lead to believe, that there is a difference w.r.t. password signing/encryption or something?
Anyways, if I try and connect to my SBS server with the correct username and password (In different formats: Domain\username or just username), I get a "Unable to connect to server. Check IP..." blablabla. This happens after the password prompt has come up.
If I try and connect to my standard windows 2003 server box, it does work, just very slowly (Again, referring to the whole thing about how SBS treats password security differently).
So I ask a couple of things:
1) It would be appreciated if any other forums members could maybe help me get this going?
2) A plea to Apple - please fix this. It all worked perfectly in Leopard!
Apple probably haven't tested SL against SBS 2003 server. A lot of companies don't do this either as they think that it is just the same as the standard 2003 server (Which i hope Apple have tested against!)
Thanks guys

File Sharing between Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and Mac OS 8.6 Powerbook 1400

well ok, for some this might sound ridicule. Why should I still be using a 13 year old PowerBook. Let me tell you, this is writing/typing heaven, Zen-like; no distractions at all, no twitter, no internet (although possible), no emails just pure you and your text and if you spin down the HDD, absolute silence. as said before pure Zen writing heaven. and on top of that you're typing on the best keyboard ever on a laptop.
As you might see I love my vintage masterpiece of a laptop and use it on a regular basis. Just one Problem.
Since I Installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 17" I just haven't been able to establish a connection between the two machines.
I have to admit, I'm not that versed with OS 8.6 but with 10.5 I had absolutely no problems accessing the shared folders on my MacBook Pro and vice versa.
My first thought was to activate Appletalk on the ethernet on my Macbook, which I failed to find anywhere. The Apple Discussions Forums revealed that Appletalk has been dropped with the introduction of Snow Leopard but all the entries where regarding printing issues with shared printers, I didn't find anything about actual file sharing and thus did not get any clues how to share files between my two machines.
My PowerBook 1400cs/166 runs on 8.6 and I use a Global Village Platinum PCMCIA card (modem and Ethernet combi card). this setup worked perfectly with 10.5 but I have not been able to make establish a connection since running 10.6 on my MBP.
I am really desperate since I heavily depend on being able to exchange files between those two machines through an ethernet connection.
So I kindly ask anyone who might be able to help me to please consider posting any solutions or at least ideas which could help me with my problem. I really would greatly appreciate any effort whatsoever.
Thank you very much for your time.
EDIT:
What I forgot to mention: strangely enough, when I enable Internet Sharing on my MacBook Pro (through Airport) to Ethernet, my PowerBook 1400 can connect to the internet without any problems.
Message was edited by: Apolloss

First of all let me thank you very much. It actually works (partially).
There seems to be a problem though. While I can connect perfectly from my MBP 10.6 to my PowerBook 1400, the other way round doesn't work.
My MBP does not show up in the Network browser of OS 8.6 but I could life with that.
The problem is that if I try to connect to my MBP from my PB1400 by entering the IP directly a alert message appears reading that the "User Authentication Method required by this server can't be found, please check the AppleShare folder in the Extensions folder and try again".
Do you have any clues what I'm doing wrong or where the problem may lie?
PS.
Even if you may not be able to further help me with this problem, I ow you a great deal of gratitude and am very thankful for your help so far. At least I can exchange files between the two machines and that's what I needed in the first place.

File Sharing between Snow Leopard, Lion

Today, I successfully installed Snow Leopard and Lion on separate partitions. Did a clean install of Lion and it is running 1000% better than when I installed it as an upgrade over Snow Leopard. Additionally, I also have Windows 7 running in Boot Camp.
My question is this: How do I access my files in Snow Leopard from Lion? Both are installed on separate paritions on the same hard drive in my MacBook Pro. I don't want to use drop boxes or anything. I simply want to navigate to my folders in SL and access them. However, it is saying I don't have permission to access them. I have tried sharing and have tried adding users with permission rights. It's possible that I just haven't done it correctly. And, I suppose it may not be possible at all. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Have you solved this problem yet?
just got a new MBP and am having the exact same issue!
I just posted this thread about it:

Screen sharing across snow leopard macs is unpredictable

Ok,
This is independent on the wake on wireless setup.
I have successfully upgraded 3 macs at home - one 2007 generation mac mini (connected to TV), one 2009 generation mac mini (in the office), and a 2009 mac book pro that roams with me. All have been upgraded to Snow Leopard. The two mac mini's did a standard SL upgrade; the mac book pro did a fresh SL install (I reformatted the disk first).
Here's the problem = regardless of whether the mac's are sleeping or not, I get intermittent problems when trying to use the 'Share Screen" features. I do have Back to Mac turned on on all three. On each of the two mac minis I have one account that can screen share, and when I try to connect from my MBP to share the screen, the login box pops up and I put in the right credentials. Then, that little wheel in the lower left corner of the left hand box starts spinning, but it never connects. The connect and cancel buttons are grayed out - so I can't cancel. Even after 15 minutes, it never connects and there is no way to kill the login box without restarting - even relaunching the finder does not cause the login box to quit (nor does quitting the screen sharing application in the dock).
Is this a bug?

There is definitely a problem - all three macs are on SL and each of them is experiencing this problem. I am running a 2008 1tb time capsule that has the current firmware. The only way I can connect is if I go directly to the mac I'm trying to connect to and change the 'share screen' permissions to 'all users' and then back to the 'just these users' that have permissions. Then, I can connect ok for another 10 or fifteen minutes, but after that the problem happens again.
The firewalls are turned off on all machines.
I can't kill the login screen that continues to try to connect without restarting the machine. If I kill the share screen program, the program terminates but the login box continues to show on the screen and it sits on top of all windows. Very annoying.

Big Black Blank Screen Sharing on Snow Leopard

I have upgraded all three systems in the house to Snow Leopard (MBP, MP, iMac). I have always been able to use screen sharing between them. I've checked the System Preferences for Screen Sharing.
I can connect (clicking "Share Screen" from Finder), but I get a black/blank screen. Moving the mouse in the screen does not move it on the other system. Doesn't look like any possibility of sharing screens...
Any idea what to do to fix this? When I next travel this is going to be a really big deal! Thoughts?

Screen Sharing between Snow Leopard and Leopard not working

I have Leopard on my old G5 Tower and just put Snow on my Intel Mini now Screen Sharing no longer works, file sharing works my network drives chatter back and forth with no problems I just can't get a Screen Share connection. On the G5 I put in the mini's location the "communicating" barber pole churns away for about 2mins then comes back with "Connection failed. Please make sure that Screen Sharing is enabled on the computer..... Also make sure your network connection is working properly. On the Mini Screen Sharing either crashes on launch or when it does launch does the same thing as the G5. Screen Sharing is on on both machines. I was using it just mins. before installing Snow on the Mini. I did install the remote desktop update from Apple on the Mini, it seems to be for Snow only as the update isn't mentioned on Software Update on the Leopard G5. So I'm thinking of going back to Leopard on the Mini, can I do it by just doing a "restore" from Time Machine or should I dig out the old install disk?
Am I the only one out there with this problem?
Netgear router on wired Gigabit Ethernet Network, several Firewire drives, and Network Storage drives.

The G5 is running 10.5.8 with all the updates. Screen sharing on the Mini 9 times out of 10 crashes on launch when it does load the computer list shows but none on it can be selected and connected to as before. When I put the G5's name in and try to connect I get the same cannot connect make sure sharing is on message I get on the G5 trying to connect to the Mini. I have tried making new network settings and rebooting that didn't work. File sharing works works fine all network drives show up. This and Front Row being now slow jerky and audio being out of sync (I've seen this complaint else where on this forum) are the only problems I've found. But these two are just enough to send me back to Leopard on the Mini. It is my media server. I don't use iChat but I did check to see if Screen Sharing is on after it finally opened, crashed over and over, I see that it was enabled there as well. My network is wired not airport, I only use wifi for my iPod Touch.

How to set up file sharing in Snow Leopard Server?

Apple had SLS for just about free when I needed SL, regular SL not yet then, so I grabbed it. I have been using it for quite some time for legacy applications and never needed to move files to that machine over the network. Tonight I needed to and noticed I could only do screen sharing. I went the control panel and there is no settings to do it. Can anyone tell me how to "turn it on". Can it be?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
. . . guy

Open the Server Admin program (in the dock if nowhere else). It's there.

Home sharing does not work after update to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9

I am using home sharing since about a year without any problems. After updating to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 it suddenly does not work anymore.
On my iMac and my Mac Book Pro I get error code 3259 and it tells me to check my firewall and to enable Port 3689.
I did not change anything in the firewall settings, itunes on both allows data traffic in both directions. I also do not find any option to activate a port ( also wondering why this is suddenly now necessary)
I deactivated home sharing on both machines and enabled it again. It still does not work.
On both machines iTunes displays the the library on the left side but like said it is not accessable
With Finder I can access the other computer from both machines without any problem.
Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated

first of all, if you are behind a router firewall, and have your network secured (WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers), you don't need the software firewall on your Mac(s).
@ least turned if off for troubleshooting purposes.
turn home sharing off on both computers, and make sure
(a) both Macs have access to the internet
(b) iTunes on both machines is authorized for the same iTunes account.
turn home sharing back on on both Macs.
does it work ?

After Loading Snow Leopard, printer sharing no longer works

I have 3 macs in the house. Printer sharing always worked until I loaded Snow Leopard.
Now the 2 remote macs just continually say "looking for printer". The primary iMAC prints fine.
I've doubled and triple check the preferences on all 3 machines.
Please help!

Deleting the printer queues didn't work for me. What did work is deleting the print preferences (anything with "print" or "Printer in the name in user/library/preferences) and deleting anything in the user/library/printers folder on both machines. Then I setup the printer again on both machines. Also, I noticed printer sharing was on on the machine I was trying to share to, so I turned it off, not sure if it matters.

DVD Sharing issue between Leopard and Snow Leopard

Today started out pretty straight forward.. I was going to finally upgrade to Snow Leopard. Turns out I have a bad optical drive (only reads CD's not DVD's). No problem... I will share the drive off my husbands laptop which is already running snow leopard. Well 4 hours and a whole lot of swearing later... it was still not working. The drive would not mount under devices and it seemed no amount of coaxing would work. I also was not getting the option of choosing a network after I rebooted with the option key (maybe that is MacBook Air only???) when I tried the remote install. I even went so far as to try to share the DVD drive of a windows vista system I have for work.
As a last ditch effort I threw the disk in an old PPC iMac also running 10.5.8 and Viola!!!!!! the disk appeared as it should and all seems to be well for an install. I post this for anyone else who finds themselves in this position... stop banging your head against a wall if the disk is not mounting with DVD/CD sharing. Try to find another leopard machine to use or use a different technique all together. (target disk mode, making an image on usb.. I've seen them, never tried them). Hopefully you won't lose hours tilting and windmills like I did.

This solved my problem.
In Leopard in System Preferences I opened Security. In the Firewall tab I clicked on "Set access for specific services and applications"
Once I had File Sharing (AFP, SMB) added I was able to access my Macpro on my PowerBook G4.

Snow Leopard Finder's Get Info fails to show Owner and Group for some files or folders which reside on a Shared Volume, hosted by G5 Server w/ OS 10.4 - why?

Frustrations with file permissions abound, as certain co workers are unable to manually determine their level of permission or who to ask to make changes to files and folders belonging to others. Users of Snow Leopard desktop OS get unhelpful feedback via Finder's Get Info, seeing only the permissions listed for "Everyone" and a statement that "You have custom access". The custom message exists, presumably, because ACL's are employed on the shared volume in an attempt to give managerial control over these volumes to specific users, even if all users can create files and folders on those volumes.
Shared volumes are partitions of an external RAID which are set up as sharepoints on a G5 tower running Server 10.4. Other persons in the office, using machines that are running desktop OS 10.5, can correctly see the assigned Owner and Group permissions (although the "custom access" still shows). This at least lets the 10.5 user know who created a given file or folder, so that they can resolve permissions-restricted issues if they come up (i.e. User A wants to delete file X, but as it was created by User B, A must contact B and have them delete it. In 10.6 it appears that A cannot determine who B is).
I know that ACL's are functioning (enabled on the drive) since we have been making use of ACL-granted write privileges for quite a while (and the custom access seems to be evidence too).
An error I encountered, pertaining to this, is that I used a 10.6 machine to create a working folder, then generated and saved several files in this location. Expected permissions thus would be Owner = me (i.e. the user I was logged in as), R/W, Group = staff, R only, Everyone = R only. However, immediately the permissions shown in Finder / Get Info consisted only of Everyone = R only, with no entry for Owner or Group. Moreover, clicking + to add either an Owner or a Group resulted in error message that I had entered an invalid user or group, even though I typed in correct info (such as trying to add "staff" as a group).

FireWire 400&800 (IMAC Core2) NOT WORKING after Upgrading to SNOW LEOPARD!

My FireWire 400&800 (iMAC Core2) are *NOT WORKING* after Upgrading to SNOW LEOPARD!
Any Solutions?

I'll try your suggestions....Thanks!
Recently, I try to Re-install Snow Leopard, unfortunately, still unsuccessful.
The Mybook Icon only appears if it is connected via USB.
After using Firewire and getting used to the speed...USB 2.0 is like a Corvette racing a Veyron...lol
I am not upset on these issues, it is normal for new OS to have these problems...unfortunately, even OSX is not invincible.
I'm sure Apple/Steve is on every Programers A*s for a solution.
I still think APPLE'S OSX will still be the future of Operating system!
For now, still waiting for the patch and hopefully soon.
Suggestions are still Welcome for a Solutions:-)

ITunes 10.4.1 crashing on lion while home sharing with 10.4.1 on snow leopard.

Hello,
I have a Macbook pro 2010 that was just upgraded to lion. While streaming content via home sharing from our 24 inch iMac with snow leopard, iTunes will crash on the MacBook pro. Both machines have iTunes 10.4.1. Our 2008 MacBook air with leopard streams from our iMac just fine via home sharing. Tried re-installing iTunes on MacBook pro and logging in as root to see if that would help. No dice. iTunes keeps crashing with either movies or music. Anyone have this issue?

Bump. Also an update: I found out that iTunes doesn't hang all the time when I tell it to close, only when I have the visualizer going, not in full screen mode. Hope that might help anything.
Thanks,
Carter

External iSight mic not working with facetime. Snow Leopard, mac mini w/ firewire v1.0.2, 800/400 firewire adapter

External iSight camera connected via Firewire adapter 800/400 to a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard - a visual signal comes up for iChat and FaceTime, only sometimes does a video signal comes up for PhotoBooth, always no sound for any of the applications. System Preferences "Sound" shows "Input Level" set around 75%, however only periodically do I see blue bar move, almost like a short in the cable, but the adapter is new. Firewire firmware is v1.0.2. Tried to use firewire updater to get 1.0.3, but updater won't update for Snow Leopard. For being advertized as the world's most advanced OS, seems like Apple OS could at least work with Apple External iSight camera ! Any help much appreciated on fixing the missing sound.

This means that my Firewire 400 ports on the display are no longer supported by the computer?
They need a FireWire connection to the computer. With older computers, the FireWire cable from the display would plug in to a computer FW400 port to provide the connection. With FW800 only computers, you need the adapter.
