Leopard - M.I.A. Printers on Wireless IP and Flashpaper?

Hi folks,
The only main glitch so far with my upgrade from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.2 is my printer situation. Before, my system saw my printer on the wireless router system by default (a Xerox 6200DP) and its IP address. Now, I'm having as much trouble finding my printer as I do with my Windows Laptop, where the dynamic IP causes me to lose the printer upon reboot.
However, I am able to find my Xerox using Appletalk and local network. The IP of the printer is now assigned, apparently, by my Mac instead of my wireless router (the printer had an IP of 192.168.1..1xx but now is a 169.254.xx IP). And the printer is not seen in my Wireless DHCP clients panel.
I think the printer is too old to use Rendezvous.. but it was so easy before... I'm curious as to what has happened. I reinstalled printer drivers, but it didn't help. I'm still using it through appletalk.
The other problem is that while Adobe CS3 works just fine, I seemed to have lost my Flashpaper ability. I was able to reinstall my PPDs from my Previous system folder, but while the printer says it is printing the docs, they are no where to be found. They should print to the desktop.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

Heidi-
On the iPad, go to Settings-General-Bluetooth. Set Bluetooth to ON and a new window appears while the iPad searches for Bluetooth devices.
To get the keyboard into a discoverable mode, you may need to remove its batteries for a while. If it is not possible to get it to appear on the iPad, could the keyboard be defective? Can it be discovered by other computers?

2 printers on wireless, any issues 7520 a4 and 7612 a3

Hi,
I have an a4 printer; photo smart 7520, which I use primarily for a4 related documents. It is connected wireless to my laptop. I am now planning to purchase a3 printer office jet 7612 primarily for a3 documents.
I would like to know can I have both printers connected wireless to my laptop?
And are there any issues when doing this.
Much appreciated, as always

Scan for nearby networks in your neighborhood using a tool such as InSSIDer or Vistumbler and see if there are any other networks operating on the same channel as your Wireless network. If there are, see if you can set the router to broadcast on the least busy channel in your neighborhood. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the best to use.
Oh, and I would switch to WPA2 if possible.

Leopard wireless issue and responsibility

I've seen a bunch of posts here saying that the wireless problem many are having with Leopard isn't a 10.5 software issue--it's a hardware/third party issue, and Leopard is merely exposing a fault with routers or whatever.
I just wanted to say that even if that's true, it's Apple's responsibility. I've seen many posts where folks say they can connect with Windows and Tiger, but not with Leopard. If there's a router flaw that only shows up with Leopard, and not with Tiger or Windows, even if it's technically not Leopard's fault, it makes Apple look bad, and could hurt their reputation. If I was an IT person at a place with many Windows and Mac machines, and Leopard breaks the wireless while Tiger and Windows continue to work, I wouldn't get rid of the routers, I'd get rid of Leopard (again, even if technically Leopard isn't at fault).
Also, does anyone know definitively if the fault lies with Leopard or not? If anyone has any hard evidence either way, please provide it. I think there's a lot of speculating going on.

i was pretty mad when i started dropping signals and getting the "self-assigned ip" message from my d-link router after the 10.5.2 update.
but then i went out today and bought an apple airport extreme base station. i can't believe how easy it was to configure. i was up and running in 5 minutes or less.
and now my connection is stable (so far, anyway) and my download speed has jumped by a massive amount. yesterday, i was downloading a .dmg file and my transfer rate was 46 KB/s. i tried the same download just now and it was over 1.2 MB/s. i'm sure that's not the average speed boost, but it was certainly significant.
as for responsibility - well, yes, apples should play well with others. but now that i have an apple router - if i ever have to call applecare, at least they can't blame it on a 3rd party router!

How do I eject a stuck Leopard installer disk with only a wireless keyboard

Today I bought a brand new mini at the Apple Store, with Tiger installed and the Leopard disk "in the box". On install, I decided to erase the disk and start fresh. I aborted after it started because I wanted to go back and partition. Sadly, it had already wiped Tiger, and now it refuses to install Leopard because it's a bare-metal install, and not an upgrade.
Fine. Understood.
Problem is, my Leopard disk is stuck inside and I can't get it out. I've only got a wireless keyboard, and it isn't recognized during the boot, so I can't press the eject key (C?, Eject? Doesn't matter, it only sees the mouse). HELP! I'm in a Catch-22 situation.
Sure I could go wake the neighbors in the middle of the night, but isn't there some way? What happened to the paperclip trick? No more?

I did not realize that Apple had two kinds of Leopards - upgrade and full.
I would go back to the store where you bought it and demand they fix it immediately.
They also should have supplied you with a Tiger disk.

IBook, Gateway Laptop, 2 epson printers, existing wireless, need more?

I have an iBook G4 with an Airport Card, my wife has a Gateway Solo with a wireless card. We have an existing wireless internet connection. We have two Epson printers that we would like to be able to print to wirelessly.
I'm assuming that I need to connect both printers to a wireless router, and I assume it may be another router and not the one we're using for internet. What do I need to do to get both of us to be able to print wirelessly to either printer from our laptops?
Would appreciate some help. Thanks!

Running Boot Camp in Windows 7 with Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse

NOTE: I was installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional on a 27" iMac mid-2010 with a Processor Speed of 2.93 GHz, a Core i7 Processor Type, a Quad Core Processor Configuration, 8GB RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 5750 Graphics Card. I run Snow Leopard so it is a 64-bit OS. I have a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse as well. In order to install Windows 7 you need a Wired Keyboard and Mouse. You will also need a Wired Keyboard and Wired Mouse to update Boot Camp.
Updating Boot Camp Assistant (VERY IMPORTANT)
First, plug in a wired keyboard and wired mouse. The Boot Camp Assistant version that came with my iMac was 3.0 so I upgraded it to 3.1 and then to 3.2. I'm not sure if only the upgrade to 3.1 is necessary, but I took it a step further. I was told by Apple Tech Support that you first needed to upgrade to version 3.1 before being able to upgrade to 3.2 These upgrades will not be found using Software Update on the Mac. However, they can be found at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
They also have software updates for 32-bit machines as well and MacBook Pro updates.
NOTE: Before updating the version of Boot Camp, but after installing Windows 7 and after putting in the Mac OS X Install DVD to run Setup.exe to download the Mac drivers, run Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update for any additional updates.
Next I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336
I then ran Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update
Then I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979
I then installed Boot Camp 3.2 Update for iMac (early 2011) found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979 but I'm not sure if this was necessary.
Once Boot Camp 3.2 has been installed I ran Software Update for the Mac again while logged into WIndows 7 to make sure I had all the updates.
Configuring a Bluetooth device on a Windows-based computer
(from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952818)
How to make sure that the Bluetooth service is started (MY COMPUTER WAS ALREADY SET UP TO RUN BLUETOOTH, SO THE NEXT 8 STEPS COULD BE OPTIONAL)
Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Services. To do this, follow these steps.
Windows Vista or Windows 7Windows XP
Click Start, and then click Run.
Copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:services.msc
Click Start , copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Start Searchbox, and then press ENTER:services.msc
In the Programs list, click Services.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
Double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.
On the Startup type list, click Automatic.
Click the Log On tab.
Click Local System account.
Click OK.
If you prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
How to connect the Bluetooth device to the computer
1. First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add them back in later (see 9) below).
2. Boot into Windows using a USB connected Mouse and Keyboard.
3. Go to Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Device and Printers – Add a Device
4. Turn on the Mouse to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer
5. Run 3.) again except select the keyboard.
6. Turn on the Keyboard to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer by typing in the 8 digit number into the wireless keyboard and hit ENTER/RETURN.
7. To see if everything was added go to Devices and Printers and see if they were added to the list.
8. Shutdown Windows 7 and Restart using Mac OSX. If you adjusted the Boot Camp settings while in Windows 7 you will see a Boot Camp icon in the system tray located at the bottom right of the screen. From here you can logoff and reboot in Mac OSX. If you don't, do a RESTART and hold the Option key down after hearing the GONG and select the Mac HD option while logging in. Now it's time to add back the wireless mouse and keyboard to be recognized by your Mac.
9. Go to System Preferences – Internet and Wireless – Bluetooth
10. Hit the “+” button to launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to find the devices sending out the signal.
11. Highlight the device found and hit “Continue”
12. Do this for both the keyboard and mouse. You will be prompted to type in the 8 digit code into the wireless keyboard in order to pair it with your computer.
13. Click on the pinwheel next to the “-“ sign to rename the wireless devices if you'd like.
I then logged back into Windows 7 to see if the mouse and keyboard were functional and had no problems. For some reason, Windows has problems pairing bluetooth devices that are already paired under a Mac OSX. Many people have updated Boot Camp, yet still were not able to pair their wireless devices because they didn't break the Bluetooth connection on the Mac side first. So both steps are necessary (1) Updating to at least Boot Camp 3.1 if not 3.2 and (2) Deleting the Wireless mouse and keyboard link while running Mac OSX before trying to pair them in a Windows OS.

I found the answers by trial and errors.
@ is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 2
# is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 3
(without shift or caps lock)
These two signs are critical and I fail to understand why this information is not readily available from the help function or from the Apple support.

C4580 All-In-One suddenly lost wireless connection and I can't get it back.

I have a replacement C4580 after HP replaced the old one because of their dmaned regionalisation of printers.
It has been working fine through my wireless router, and I have been able to use it wirelessly on 2 different laptops, one running XP and the other running Win 7. both have the printer showing as USB and wirless, normally being used wirelessly. THhe USB is there 'just in case' like now apparently.
It seems that my wireless printer has disappeared from my Printers and Faxes in the XP machine, so I try to add it again. Can't detect any printers, so when it asks to be connected via USB it appears to be going through the setup, then I get Error #201 VSA.
Googled for an answer but haven't found anything useful. Seen a couple which suggest that the router is hiding the SSID (it's not) or that MAC filtering is being used. Again, it's not.
I went to the Win7 machine, and it shows the wireless and USB printers (2 versions of the same thing) but when I attempt to print a test page tot the wireless version, it says that it has been sent, and I can see it in the printer queue, but after a while I get Error-Printing which in typical HP software is as usual bloody useless as it doesn't tell you why it failed, or where to even start looking to correct whatever error there was.
I have altered nothing on any of the computers (knowingly, anyway) and both laptops communicate quite happily with the outside world through the wirless router.
I really am getting rather pi**ed off with HP and their latest software. I had a PSC 1210 prior to this and no problems with it at all. The hardware seems fine but the latest software leaves a lot to be desired.
Any ideas anyone, on what has happened here, and how it can be fixed - or do I just cut my losses and buy another printer, this time anything but HP - unless they're all doing the same sort of stuff.
I have tried turning the wireless function off and then on on the printer, but also no difference.
Additional info. As suggested in another post somewhere, I have done both a Network Configuration and a Wireless Network Test printout. The test report shows PASS against both Wireless On and Wireless Working, and FAIL against Network Name (SSID) Found, but then shows the Network Name (SSID) correctly under Configuration Summary!
The configuration page shows Netwok Status as offline, and under 802.11 Wireless it gives a MAc address then Status as Disabled.
I don't really know what it is trying to tell me?
Oh, accidentally I printed 2 Configuration pages. On one it says that the 802.11 Status is Disabled and on the other it says that it is Disconnected. Unfortunately, I don't know which one was done first. The Disconnected one may have been done when I turned the wireless off. Nope, I just did again with Wireless turned on (at least the light is showing) and it still showing as Disconnected.

Hi there KR,
Sorry to hear the reset is not working for you on your PS C4580. The steps for the reset are all correct and should have worked if the printer is in good functioning order.
I would suggest calling in to HP directly to see what your options are with them.
If you decide to call them, this is their contact info:

I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad. I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up. It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer. I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed. I am so frustrated!!! This has never happened in the past.

What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document

Trouble with wireless n and smb shares

I have a bit of a per-plexer here.
I have a personal mac that up until a little while ago, ran 1.5.8 flawlessly for six months since i had it.
This included a lot of mounting my windows 7 file server and watching movies or listening to music over wireless G. Every night in fact I would fall asleep to a movie, then wake up and play some music from my music folder on the same server.
The battery would die nightly of course. Morning, charge it up with some music on.
I picked up a copy of snow leopard upgrade for 30 bucks when it was released or there about and installed it. Went fine and I continued happily using the machine for about 2 months.
Then I bought a belkin wireless N gigabit router, to replace my wrt54g. It worked alright and I continued my daily/nightly routine, watch a movie, sleep, listen to music.
However the first morning, and every morning subsequently there after I have run in to a pain-in-the-butt problem.
I awoke to find, like always, my server shares still mounted (or at least they appeared to be). But opening any of them would present a blank finder window, like no files were available.
Unmounting and re-mounting the shares would fail, with a message saying unable to connect to the PC.
So, what do you do next? I reboot. My programs close, the dock, finder, my background turns to the blue solid.
System stops re-booting... it sits here, with a plain cursor and I am unable to do anything but hard-power it off.
After a hard-reboot,everything functions normally until it hibernates or sleeps with the samba shares.
I took the router back and got a dlink n/gigabit router instead, cussing out belkin on my way to the store. No change!
So I reinstalled (I didn't even archive, i just blew it away) - installed 10.5.8 again, upgraded to SL, and connected to my wireless. I can still reproduce the issue.
So, i'm bummed, i've tried a lot of things I wont bother listing here but one more important detail i wanted to add is:
I work at a company that has blanket wireless b/g coverage using multiple access points and a controller to do load balancing and access point switching.
Recently, we got a few N access points from the provider and I set them up around the office in a new, isolated SSID on the subnet i do my work on. Using WPA2 Psk, like at home.
So, now to be fair I've got a slightly-newer mac at the office, same unibody but late 2009 instead of early 2009 (sd slot instead of express slot). I threw SL on it, and connected to the new SSID i setup and finally connected to our netapp and left for the night.
Come in in the morning and I can reproduce the issue on the work mac.
So, two different macs, 2 very different N wireless networks and 2 different file server platforms. But same prob, **** thing chokes overnight.
I have been able to reproduce this issue with a slough of late 2009 macs at the office now, as I handed out the SSID key to those with SL as my unwitting test subjects. Everyone's coming up with the same problem.
Has anyone out there run in to this? It's such a huge issue i'm surprised i can't find anymore information about it!
Thanks,
Josh

I took a look at the logs and copy and pasted a lot, these are a few before and many from AFTER the hibernation last night.

Followup question about wireless scanning (and many thanks to PaHu)

Hi,
Got my Canon MP980 communicating properly with my macs AND our linux machine now!
I'm having no luck using the bundled MP Navigator EX to scan documents and photos.. everything appears to be turned on and initialized correctly, the printer is on and idle on the home screen. but when I hit the scan button I see the error message:
cannot communicate with scanner. cable may be disconnected or device may be turned off. and an error code of 1.0.0
Is it possible the scanner (or this app) won't do it wirelessly? I can't use a cable without re-arranging a lot of furniture, lol.
Best regards,
Chris

Hello Chris. I believe the MP Navigator software should work across the network, however it may have to be configured to do so. (Personally, I don't use the application - I've never found it to be that reliable. I prefer to scan directly into Acrobat using the Create PDF > From Scanner).
I would think that in order to get Navigator working, you need to ensure that the network scanning utility is working and correctly configured. When you installed the IJ Network Tool, it should have also installed the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility. Often it will add an icon to your menubar that looks like an art-deco desk lamp. If it hasn't or you aren't sure which icon this is, you can open the application by navigating to Mac HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter > Utilities and opening Canon IJ Network Scan Utility. This will display a pane that lets you set the MP980 as a network scanner. Once you have the MP980 you can then start scanning from an application to test.
You can use Preview, but you will need to register the scanner first via Image Capture, located in Applications. When you first open Image Capture, you may see a message stating that no image capture device is connected. To register the scanner, click on Devices > Browse Devices. This pane will show 'Canon MP980 series Network'. Click on the 'Use TWAIN UI'. Another pane will now appear asking where you want to scan the file to, what name to call it and the format to save it as. Enter/select your desired settings and click Scan. The ScanGear window should now appear letting you preview the image and select a variety of other settings. Select Preview, highlight the section of the image you want, and press Scan to finish the scan.
Once you get the above working, then you can try and get Navigator working, but as I have said, I don't think you need it unless you want to initiate the scan from the machine.

Trouble with keys on apple wireless keyboard and MBP

I have attached my Apple wireless keyboard to my MBP and I want to use it with the onboard screen. It properly synced, and I know it reads the keyboard because the F keys work, and the delete button works, and it even can wake the computer from sleep mode. However the problem is quite simple, the alpha keys do not work. I can turn up my brightness, or volume cycle through my "spaces" on leopard but am still unable to type. I have looked all over for other cases of this and can not find it. Is it possible that the apple wireless MUST be used with an external monitor only? I have not attempted that yet because I have been away from my studio for a few weeks.
If anyone could shed some light on this situation it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

The "wireless mouse/keyboard firmware update 1.1" is for the old white plastic wireless mice and keyboards , Sean. Is the one you are trying to use one of these, or is it one of the aluminium ones?
If it is the aluminium one, then the update you might need is Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 - http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/aluminumkeyboardfirmwareupdate10.html
None of the updates should be needed to prevent the sort of problem you report though.
Is this keyboard newly purchased, or one that you have had for a while and that ahs worked in the past? It may simply be defective.
The only other thing I can think of, apart from conflict with a third party keyboard driver or the like, is a corrupted system file of some kind, in which case an "archive and install" of the OS might be needed to fix it I'm afraid.
Cheers

Does VM Ware Support Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

I downloaded VM Ware from Apple.com. I got to my Windows XP Home login screen, but I could not move the mouse to login to the XP Computer. I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button because I was, "stuck." Does anyone out there know if VMWare is compatible with the wireless keyboard and mouse? I'm using Leopard and Windows XP Home SP 2.
Thanks,
David

Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
(If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..
john galt - Am I spelling OS X correctly?

I just put snow leopard 10.6.8 on my macbook pro and I was told that I could purchase Apature for photo management- now its says I need a different version.... is there an older version I could get? so frustrating.

The current version of Aperture requires 10.7.5 or later.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
