Leopard, Netgear router with printer server and Epson Aculaser C1100

Hello!
After updating to Leopard (10.5.1) all my printers were deleted. I've two printers connected to a Netgear FWG114Pv2 wireless router. My HP Photosmart is connected via ethernet to the router. It was easy to reinstalled this one.
But I still can't get my Epson Aculaser C1100 back to work on my MacBook. The printer is connected with the USB port of the Netgear router. This setting worked fine before Leopard. On Tiger I only had to set up an IP printer with the IP of the router (no queue settings requiered) and to select the correct driver.
If I try this now, my printer doesn't respond. If I choose the default postscript printer driver the data signal on my printer blinks for a short time, then the printer stops. Two Windows machines can properly print on the Aculaser. Even my WinXp running with Parallels Desktop on my MacBook can print to the Aculaser.
If I connect the printer directly to the Mac and setup the printer, everthing works fine. I called the Apple support three weeks ago (1 h) with no result. We tried all advanced options in the printer settings and I send communication protocols to Apple (recorded with a little tool from them). Untill now I've no response.
I also tried setting up differnet drivers as discussed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6382269&#6382269
Thanks!

Any Idears on how to use my D-Link Router with Print Server on my mac ?

I just got recently a D-Link Router with Print Server.
The Model is a DI-704UP. does anyone know how i can access the printer to my G5 ?
talked to D-Link and Apple and they have no solution.
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

According to this page on the D-Link website about your product, the router includes a print server for Windows and that the software is for Windows only.
However, this page also on D-Link's website does offer you an unsupported solution.
Hope this helps! bill

Netgear WGPS606 wireless print server and HP1006

I have been trying to setup the Netgear WGPS606 wireless print server with my HP1006. The setup runs fine, finds the printer etc but when it comes to try to print a test page it is "unable to create a print job". When trying to print from Word etc I get similar message suggesting print test page/turn printer on/reinstall print drivers
I have spent hours with Netgear support who eventually said it MIGHT not be compatible
Before I bin it does anyone have any suggestions? I read somewhere it might be the USB drivers only work when connected directly to the PC (they're loaded up real time or something?) and to try using a serial driver instead?
Might that work, and if so does anyone know where I might find a suitable driver?
Thanks

I spent a month chasing my print server last year. Save yourself a month. The pad will find and print to airprint enabled printers. Period. It will not find a network print server.
Here is the list of printers, and some discussion.

Wireless Printing with Netgear Print Server and HP Officejet 6110

Setting up my wife's iMac for wireless printing (Mac is in Kitchen, printer in home office).
We have a Netgear router and her internet connection (wireless) is fine.
I configured the WGPS606 via a Vista laptop and have effectively printed through to the server wirelessly from the laptop.
I downloaded and installed the drivers for the HP printer to the mac and have successfully printed when connected via USB (brought the printer to the kitchen to test)
In adding the IP printer, I am able to set up an IP printer fine, but the HP driver does not appear in the dropdown menu.
I have been able to get the iMac to ping the Print Server and choosing another HP driver does spool, but with gibberish of course.
I believe the problem is that I can't figure out how to get the new driver to appear in the dropdown in the printer settings, which should solve the problem, I think.
Advice?
Thank you.

Unfortunately, there are two kinds of driver on OS X (not like Windows), Carbon and CUPS. To use the CUPS standard network protocols like IP printing, you have to use CUPS drivers. HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers (yet). Install the hpijs 3-part set:

Mac Printing with a printer server and Windows XP desktop

I have the following configuration:
Dell Desktop running XP
Apple iBook G4 running 10.4
Linksys Router
Linksys Print Server
I can't get my iBook to print through the print server. I have tried IP Printing and provided the printer server IP Address and correct printer driver "HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs (which I think is now part of 10.4). When I try to print I get the following message, "Printer Busy; will retry in 10 sec. I have also had Connecting to 192.168.1.78 on port 630... and nothing happens.
Any suggestions? I am at wits end because nothing is working. I know that my wireless router and print server are working because I ping'd them from the PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On windows, the setup software fills in required info like print server queue name - but we don't have that software on the Mac.
Look in the print server manual and check the supported protocols - LPD and IPP require a queue name which you can find in the manual. HP Jetdirect protocol doesn't need a queue name, and is called TCP/IP raw or socket 9100 printing in some manuals.
Good luck.

New Apple Convert - Printing With Print Server

I am having trouble printing.
I just bought my first Apple iBook G4 using Mac OSX 10.4.6. I have a Netgear Wireless Router with a Netgear PS121 Print Server plugged into one of the router ports. The print server is connected to my Brother MFC9700 Laser Printer.
I went through the process of adding the printer. I used the following settings:
IP Printer
Protocol: IPP
Address: The IP address of the print server
Queue: Left blank
Name: Laser
Location: Left blank
Print Using: Brother MFC-9700 CUPS v1.1
When I attempt to print (from .Mac Word) the printer box shows I am connected to 192.168.0.3 (IP of the Print Server) and the activity indicator (looks like a sideways barber shop pole) is moving but nothing happens on my printer.
Can someone please advise me?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Try using the following URL instead
192.168.0.3/P1
The P1 is important.
Or try this instead
Start Printer Setup Utility
Click Add
Hold down the option key and click More Printers
Select Advanced from the drop down menu.
Select LPD/LPR Host or Printer
Enter this as the Device URI
lpd://192.168.0.3/P1
The P1 is important.
Note though that your Brother printer is not on the Netgear Compatibility List.

How to print to Canon irC5051 with Print Server?

[edit] I am using 10.7.5 not 10.6.8 sorry [\edit]
My company recently upgraded to Canon Image Runner C5051 units.
They added print servers with authentication for follow me printing (print at any machine around the building by authenticating).
I have read tons of discussions, forums and google articles on how to get image runners to print with os x - yet to no avail.
I have downloaded both the recent drivers from canon (the PS and URII) updates.
I can only seem to connect to the printer using the "Windows" domain feature in the add printer settings.
The Windows URL is \\printARL\ARLC-Secure.
I can ping the \\printARL and retrieve the IP address. But I cannot do the same with the full path (\\printARL\ARLC-Secure)
Trying to LDP print to the printARL ip does not work. I have no way of figuring out the full path ip address of the print server.
On my windows computer it shows "null" in the port/ip address on the PORTs tab.
So with URII I cannot identify the LDP ip address to use so if I connect via the windows domain it keeps returning error -50.
I guess this makes sense because its not LDP.
Using the windows search to connect and applying the Canon 5051 PS driver it seems to function.
It connects, allows to me authenticate, moves the file to the print server, and shows up at the printer.
But when I print, it does nothing. No output. ...sometimes it even makes the sound like it is printing, but then no dice.
If I try and Generic PS or PCL driver, it sends the document.
But when I print, it seems to produce a paper format error (thinks it LGL)
So if you force the printer to print to LTR, it spits out reems of giberish.
There must be something I am missing.

Sorry for missing your post. I don't check the 10.6 forums too often.
Reading your post it sounds like your are using uniFLOW, which is the follow-me printing app. So if you want to continue using this with the Mac there are a few things to note.
1. The Mac UFR2 driver wants to communicate directly with the copier. With print jobs being routed via the Windows print server (uniFLOW secure input queue) there is no chance of there being two-way communication and this often causes the -50 error you mention.
The solution is to use the Canon PPD, but this would require the ADV C50xx to have the optional Postscript kit. And given the gibberish output you mention it would seem that this kit was not purchased. So I would be talking to the Canon rep. If they had scoped your business correctly and saw the Mac/s then the PS kit should have been ordered.
2. You cannot ping the printer queue on the Windows server. So pinging \\printARL\ARLC-Secure won't work as you have found. But you can ping the Windows server, which you did and this worked. And, your issue is not due to an inability to connect to the Windows queue. It is a driver issue.
3. Using the PS driver appears to work. Lets you authentice but does not print. This is due to the lack of the Postscript kit in the copier.
4. Re the Generic PS, no PS kit means no printing. And the same goes for PCL.
So, in summary. The UFR2 driver is not designed to print via a Windows server. For your setup, the Postscript kit in the copier would solve your issue.

Wireless Computer, Wireless Router, Wireless Print Server

I am having difficulty with a specific configuration trying to print wirelessly.
I have no problem printing from my iBook G4, Power Mac Dual G4 750, Dell Notebook, or Compaq Presario Desktop using this configuration: Linksys Wireless-G router and Linksys Wireless-G Print Server.
As long as the Print Server is connected to the Router via an ethernet cable, the network works fine - I can print from any computer.
The problem I am encountering comes from the fact that I now want to use the Print Server with another printer that is a seperate room from the router (I don't want to connect it with an ethernet cable). This shouldn't be a problem since it's a wireless print server.
I had always used a static IP to access and configure the router, but now that I have removed the ethernet connection I can't log in. In fact, when it is plugged into a different port on the router (via ethernet) I can't log into it either. When I reconnect it the original way, it is not problem.
Running the original install software on my PCs doesn't help either.
How can I make this work?
Can my wireless computers (e.g. iBook with Airport Extreme wireless card) talk directly to the Print Server, or does it talk to the Print Server via the wireless router?
I don't have an Airport base.
Any help would be appreciated.

I do not think I can help you with your question however I have the same router and print server and I too have never been able to get the print server to work wirelessly. It's a real kick in the head too because the linksys tech nubs just talk you around in a circle saying that the deivce is wireless but that you have to use the wire. I don't know maybe its me...
Nonetheless I now have a mac laptop that works the the router but I can not get the powerbook to connect the the print server. I would be interested to know how you go your mac to work with you first printer.

Netgear PS121 USB Print Server

I have a Netgear ps121 usb print server that is set to a static address. I also have an Epson R300 printer hooked up to it and it runs great in windows but I am unable to get my MAC to print to it.
I went to the printer setup utility and addes an IP printer and set the static IP address. I selected the Epson R300 from the driver list and clicked add. Documents will not print to it.
Any body have a clue what I can do to get it to work besides going through my windows xp parallels VM and using it that way?

I haven't got it to work (properly) yet either. There's a firmware upgrade to v. 6033 on the netgear website (which is supposed to fix printing under Mac OS X), but the installer is windows-only!. Grrr!
I've contacted netgear technical support and am waiting for a reply from them.
It also helped when I set the print queue to lp0, instead of leaving it as "default".

2101nw print server (and LaserJet M1132 MFP) – installation problems on Windows 7 (64bit)

For two years, I've been a happy user of an HP printer (LaserJet M1132 MFP), wirelessly connected to my home network thanks to a HP Wireless G Print Server HP 2101nw.
A week ago, a new machine came in and – to align operating systems - I had to install Windows 7 (64 bits) also on my laptop (previously we were running Windows XP).
Then, I went on with the reinstallation of HP software, for the print server and the printer.
And it was a disaster.
After the failure of the first installation ("Installazione non riuscita"), I went through a series of attempts of uninstalling and reinstalling, again and again, by various methods. Uselessly. Even Revo Uninstaller did not help.
Then, looking for information over the web, I read there was a known problem of incompatibility of the print server’s driver with 64-bit environment, and that HP was not going to rewrite it .
You can imagine my disappointment.
Now, hopefully, I write in this forum to ask for help. My request is twofold:
1) I would like to properIy clean up my laptop and remove all that bad installed sw (both of the print server and the printer), so that at least I can successfully reinstall printer software for using it via USB cable.
For this purpose, can you please give me your suggestions ?
2) I would like to know: It is true that there is no driver available for use this print server on Windows 7 (64 bit) ?
I’m asking because I found these pages which seems to give some hope, but I’m not so sure ... :

Linksys Wireless Print server and my Mac G4

I just set up my linksys wireless print server and it's printing from my PC just fine - not so on my G4. My printer is a Canon Pixma ip5200, and the appropriate drivers etc are installed.
I know the IP address and have tried setting up the printer via IPP (and pinged it from the mac successfully). Just no success printing. The printer utility looks like it is printing to the printer but nothing comes out.
Any ideas?

You won't be able to get this to work.
The Canon printer drivers won't allow you to connect to and print to a Canon printer attached to a wireless print server.
There is no solution, there is no way that this can work
You have three solutions.
Replace the Canon printer with another printer for which the drivers will work.
Replace the Canon printer with a networked Canon printer such as the iP4000r (or any other network printer) in which case you won't need the print server
Connect the Canon printer directly via USB to the computer to print.

Jetlan Print Server and HP Deskjet

Hi, I'm a mac newbie (XP convert..haha). I have a Cables To Go Jetlan 3200 print server and an HP Deskjet 5550 printer. I have tried a bunch of different things to try and get my macbook to print but to no avail. It prints from a Win XP desktop no problem.
I can see the printer when I use the "add printer" utility and according to my Jetlan documentation, it uses appletalk. I have successfully added the printer. When choosing the printer, my HP isn't listed in the various printer types. I have tried using HPIJS and gimp-print beta 2.0 but neither seems to work. Print jobs seem to spool and go to the printer but all I get is numerous pages printing out with various characters. Have to stop the printer manually in order to abort the process.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. So far, this is the only negative expeirience I've had with the mac. It rocks in every other way!!!
Bert

I don't have an intel mac, so I may not be able to help - hope someone else has tried this...
(This may have something to do with running Printer Setup via Rosetta, or something like that.)
I think the "Deskjet 900 Series Gimp-Print" driver should also work - is that the one you tried?
Have you tried an IP printing protocol? I would try HP Jetdirect protocol first, because that one doesn't require you to search for a queue name.
I think appletalk should work, but try an IP protocol for troubleshooting.
The symptom of printing postscript gobbledygook is definitely a driver issue, so make sure when you select model (using hpijs) that it is the model "deskjet 5550 foomatic/hpijs."
Good luck.

What's the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?

Hello!!
What’s the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?
I found two things as follows.
1. MAC support
2. USB dongle
Is there anything else?

Now I’m clear!!
But there are descriptions for each on your home page over view tab. Due to this forum restriction; I cannot put the URL here.
They say for each as follows.
HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit --- Retain full all-in-one wireless functionality: print, fax from your PC, scan, and access photo memory cards access and PC status
HP Wireless G Print Server --- Get the same functionality with your all-in-one: printing, scanning, photo memory card access, PC faxing, and printer statusSo I got confusion, that’s why I did not get the difference for them.
And I found wrong description on your HP support document page. I recommend that you correct it, because it put consumer into confusion and break to buy this product.
The title is “HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit - Setting up the HP Printer with the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit in Windows .”
The wrong description is “NOTE: You must turn on the computer with the computer adapter in order to print to the wireless product” at last line of “Step two: Configure other computers to use the printer. “
You can erase this line!!

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

Transaction control with DI Server and B1WS

Hi everyone,
recentily I started working with DI server and B1WS, and talking with friends and with a brief research in the foruns Its seens to be impossible to have a Rollback in database transactions performed with DI server and B1WS.
Its really true? I mean, I receive the Session ID when I use the login service, it shouldn't be so difficult to have a rollback function with this info...

Really? Anyone knows?
