Lexmark Wireless Printing - Mac OS 10.6 Driver

I have a Lexmark 2420 Wireless printer that I have been using w/Windoze. Just bought a MacNotebook Pro and upgraded to 10.6. Added my printer but the 10.6 driver failed. Installed the Mac version from my Lexmark CD and replaced the driver w/ 10.5 and still no luck. Contacted Lexmark Support and set up chat and was informed of new driver. Unfortunately I no longer have that on my clipboard but you can get it from Lexmark Support. The good news is it works!
Lexmark has a new driver for 10.6. Go to their support and chat.

Wifi printing w/ OS 10.6 requires Lexmark 10.6 driver that is now available from their tech support.

How do I connect my ipad2 to a lexmark wireless printer?? Please help

I need some help syncing my iPad2 to a lexmark wireless printer. Can someone please help out on what I can do to sync them together?

You will need to install the LexPrint Application on your iPad2 so you can print to your Lexmark printer. Please check this article for more info: Introducing the LexPrint Mobile Print Application. You can also download the LexPrint application by visiting the Lexmark website.

Airport express - Lexmark wireless printing

I have used AE for wireless printing with a Lexmark printer ( X1195) with no trouble. AE recognized printer and added software for it immediately. Recently I've gotten a new Lexmark printer, model X2580, and since this is similar to the previous printer I thought it should work. However AE does not recognize this printer is attached via the USB port. In the past I've tried to set up an HP printer which was not successful but even then the AE recognized the printer was attached via USB port.
AE appears to be working fine and has been reset. Printer works via direct USB connection to the iMac.
Any suggestions

I'm not sure if that link will work. If you go www.hp.com and click on support and troubleshooting link, indicate your product, click on solve problem, click on error, lights. Click on messages displayed on your computer, click on Macintosh errors. You should see the -9762 error message listed. Click on that and follow the instructions.
I literally had my printer working in two minutes.
Good luck,

Problem with Time Capsule and Wireless Printing (Mac+PC Mixed)

I have a time capsule that is the wireless router for the house and my iMac and laptops use the wireless network beautifully. I installed a Dell 1320C color laser printer by connecting it to the usb port on the time capsule. The airport express utility did NOT recognize any USB printer connected to the time capsule. I was however able to wireless print from my iMac by asking the printer utility to find all available printers which it did and then installing the printer drivers (thanks google). So, while i cannot find my printer as being connected to the time capsule through the airport utility, i can find it through the print utility as a connection through bonjour and i can print just fine to it.
Now i installed bonjour on my laptops and found and selected the 1320c just fine. When i try to print through the laptops (pc), nothing happens and the file stays in the print queue.
I am willing to live with the first quirk as I can print wirelessly from the iMac. I however need help to print from the laptops.
Any suggestions?
thank you so much in advance

1) see the printer on my iMAC - what utility do I run etc?
It is connected to your network. Check your printer setup manual on how to set it up. Or go the the Dell website for printer support if you can't find your manual.
2) can i then run bonjour from my windows laptops and see the printer through the network?
Via ethernet, it shouldn't need Bonjour to set up.

Lexmark wireless printing

Has anyone had any success with printing wirelessly to Lexmark printers after the upgrade to Snow Leopard? I have a X4550 printer and I am having no joy. The driver for the 3500-4500 series is included as part of 10.6 but CUPS is reporting the following error:
"Backend /usr/libexec/cups/backend/lexnet3 does not exist!"
The port that it is set up to print to is prefixed lexnet3://x.x.x.x:1

I have been able to get my Lexmark X7675 to print wirelessly with Snow Leopard, every time.
I have both a Brother MFC-9440CN (Ethernet) and the Lexmark X7675 (WiFi), and in both cases in SL it's clear you are better served NOT installing the manufacturer's software at all, but rather use the capabilities built into SL. Of course, I installed both manufacturer's packages first, so the first few steps here were to ensure I "undid" that step:
1. From the SL DVD, optional installs, install ALL the printer drivers for all brands. You can be more selective if you like, but it's not that much space for less future headache. Find the Lexmark utilities on your Mac, and delete them. Find Lexmark pref files under user/library/preferences and /library/preferences and delete them.
2. Open System Preferences: Print and Fax. Delete the Lexmark printer there if there is one. Then right click in printing list and select "Reset Printing System"
3. Go to your Lexmark printer, and use its menu system to determine its IP address. On the X7675, it was printed out in a settings page.
4. With this information in hand, return to System Preferences: Print and Fax. Add a printer. Protocol = LPD. Address = the IP for your wireless Lexmark. Name = what you want to call it. Under Print Using, "Select Printer Software" and find your printer name from the list. Add the printer.
5. Believe it or not, open your browser. Enter this URL: http://localhost:631 Select "Printers" from the top menu bar. In the new page, click on the name of the printer you've just added. In the second drop-down list which now says "Administration" select "Modify Printers" and enter an Admin username/password when prompted.
6. Select "LPD/LPR Host or Printer" and then enter lexnet3://ip.address:1/ where ip.address is the IP you've already identified for your printer. If it's 10.0.1.14, this should read lexnet3://10.0.1.14:1/
7. Save. Go to /Library/Printers/Lexmark/PDEs folder and delete the entire PDEs folder.
8. Open up Software Update. It may find a "new" Lexmark driver package. Install it.
9. You should be good to go. Print a test page from your computer. Tip: in SL, when you've sent a job to the printer and its icon opens in the dock, I like to right click/options/"keep in dock" for future easy access.

Wireless printer problem w new canon driver

I have a Canon Pixma MP980 connected that I access through wireless connections fro two computers. It worked fine until the recent Canon driver update. Now every time I try to print a dialogue box pops up asking if I want to allow incoming connections. It goes away after a few seconds. If I do not move fast and click yes, printing fails because communications between the printer and driver are cut off - at least coming back from the printer. If I do click yes, then it works fine.
I have seen the "allow incoming connections" dialogue when using new programs for the first time, but once I click yes or no, it does not ask again and works appropriately. With the Canon diver, I am asked every time I try to print.
In the security>firewall preferences printer sharing and all Canon entries are set to allow incoming connections.
The computer that does not have the "updated" driver continues to work fine.
Is there a cure or a way to undo the driver update that Software Update just installed? Reinstalling the driver that came with the printer is a real pain that I would like to avoid.

Canon Pixma MX868 Scanning Issues
Interesting, I am using Canon MX868 printer with Driver 10.67.1.0 (latest driver from canon for OSX 10.8.2) and have the same problem. When I initially installed software all worked fine but when I activated the firewall and removed the “Canon IJ Network Scanner” from startup (login) services I started getting the error message
I am not convinced that removing exceptions from firewall will make problem go away (as they are needed for firewall to work and will be added back in by default next time you allow permission). Nb Pahu was not using apple firewall
Anyway here is what I did to cause and then resolve the problem
I updated the driver and software to use Canon MR Navigator Ex 2.1 scanning software. I prefer the canon software as I can scan from printer by pressing buttons with more advanced scanning PDF JPG features (than basic bonjour scaner which creates big files and is clunky to use).
After reviewing above, I removed exceptions from firewall (see below). However every time I restarted the computer or restarted the Canon MR Navigator Ex 2.1 scanning software I still got the "allow incoming connections" window and scanner would not work until I allowed this.
Here are the changes I made to Firewall Settings (the firewall options is under System Preferences / Security & Privacy you will need to press unlock button and use admin password to show firewall options):
- block all incoming connections - not ticked
- automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections (ticked)
- enable stealth mode - unchecked
- I kept then removed all canon utilitiy permissions in firewall (nb if you remove but then "allow incoming connection" the exception will reappear in the firewall exceptions), also if you remove other apps exception permission eg iphoto you will need to add permission back in)
After I had done above and restarted a few times to test (unsuccessfully) I tried adding the Canon IJ Network Scanner app back into the login items (login items under system preferences/ User & Groups). When I restarted it asked for permission once more and from then on the Canon IJ Network Scanner loaded and allowed full scanning from computer and from printer buttons
To add the Canon IJ Network Scanner app to login items, press “+” button then browse to the following file under the Main Library of Mac HD: /Library/Printers/Canon/IJScanner/Utilities. Nb the main library has full range of apps where as the User Library (located under your User profile /Users/[USERNAME]/Library) does not have the “Canon IJ Network Scanner app” (this confused me for a while)
Another way to resolve the problem was to turn the firewall off (but I prefer it on)
After several restarts with Canon IJ Network Scanner running in login items with out problem, I rechecked enable stealth mode and selected “allow applications downloaded from” “,mac store and identified developers” (under General Tab). The scanner and network tool still worked fine with no error messages

Wireless printing mac 10.8.3

Hello there
I currently have a fantastic HP PHOTOSMART PREMIUM C309a printer, and have been using it wirelessly on an iMac, MacBook Pro and my partners Windows 7 PC.
I recently upgraded my macs to 10.8.3 from 10.8.2 and now my printer can't be found wirelessly.
The windows pc is still ok so I know it's not the printer but can only think its the mac software update.
The macs find the printer via Bluetooth but that's not ideal as the printer is upstairs.
Can anyone please help me?
Regards
Steve

Here is what I would do first.
I would perform a whole network reboot and also a hard reset on the printer.
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Unplug the power supply to your wireless router.
3. Next, unplug the printer from either the wall or the back of the printer, while it is still powered on. This is a hard or "dirty" reset.
4. Wait about 30 seconds and then plug the router back in.
5. Wait for all the lights to stabilize on the router so that you know it is back connected to the network.
6. Plug the printer back in. It should power back up on its own, but if it doesn't, go ahead and press the power button.
7. Boot your Mac back up.
See if it recognizes it now.
Try that and report back to me if it helps. If it doesn't, I have some other steps that we can try.
If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it!
Best of luck,
Kyle

Lexmark 6570 Wireless printing. Can't add printer

Hello,
I have set up a 6570 Wireless printer following Lexmark instructions and installing the soft on the Mac and doing the USB configuration. All good and the printer can connect to the AP and is pingable.
However, the printer is not defined in the Printers System Preferences. If I add it as a remote printer, using eithter lpd, ipp or hp direct, it says OK and defines the printer. However, it is not really defined, as when opening the printer settings and trying to print a test page, the name of the printer does not show up in the window header, it shows the printer icon in black, with a red cross on it and sending the test page results in nothing.
I am not sure how to proceed. I have rerun printer wireless setup, tried to see if it was blocked by the firewall, tried to use "Other printers" instead of the IP printing, but all to no avail.
Anyone knows how to do this ?

I returned my sparkling new Lexmark wireless printer to the store as I discovered that Leopard was not supported, even though Tiger was. I spent a number of frustrating evenings trying to get it working, only to find out from Lexmark Tech Support that I stood no chance. They suggested waiting for a few months for the driver - I didn't. As soon as I heard the news I replaced it with regular, wired printer. It was not a Lexmark one!

I have a imac and a pc laptop set up with my wireless lexmark x7675 printer through my bthome hub network, but cannot get macbook pro to work

i have a lexmark wireless printer, its connected to my imac via wireless bthome hub connection, works fine, so does my pc laptop. but when it comes to connect my macbook pro aswell it wont work. i have installed lexmark drivers on macbook, i have follwed the wireless connection setup and plugged in via usb port. it says it has connected successfully, but it will not print. i had it connected at one point, but would only print if the imac was on, but now it wont even do that.
please help, it seems like instead of connecting through bthome hub it wants to connect to my imac, how do i change this?

Well there would probably be different settings for the wireless.
For example, with a Lexmark printer although I needed to do nothing to get it to work via USB, to get the wifi working I had to use a special setup option for getting the wifi to work on my pc.
You can probably download the manual for your printer from the manufacturers website, and it should tell you how to get it to work with your printer.

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:

How do i set up my wireless printer to work with my ipad 2

My ipad will not reconize my lexmark wireless printer what can I do

In UK BT generally use PPPoA authentication only so you will have to keep using the home hub as the main router. Put the Time Capsule.. TC.. in bridge mode. To do this go to the airport utility, on menu selection go to internet, and make sure it is set to ethernet for method of connection, and in connection sharing, select bridge. Then select update.. it will probably list some issues like password needing changing and access via wan etc .. almost all of which you can simply ignore.. as you are not using it in router mode.
The TC will save the setting and restart.. it will now exist as a wireless access point and switch on the network. The WAN is swapped to LAN, so there is no WAN port as such but it is still convenient to use WAN port marked <...> ethernet between home hub and the TC. Then setup wireless as you like. You can turn off the wireless in home hub, and just use the TC.. or use both, on different channels. That is no big problem. Set the security for the wireless is important and I would also manually set wireless channels and use different name for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless. But just start and learn what you need to as you go along. Getting the basics working should be fairly easy. Some of the more complex stuff you just need to read carefully the instructions..
And read this site.

Lexmark x4850 Wireless Printing isn't working...

Hello,
I have a client with a new Macbook pro and a Lexmark x4850 wireless printer. I found this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8299637
I tried the things people had suggested and can't seem to get anything working. They are using WEP lowest encryption because someone had mentioned that had worked for them. USB works fine but they want to print wirelessly. Lexmark support doesn't mention anything on this issue. I discovered that the "driver" for the Mac also includes the utilities to setup certain things including wireless printing. I tried the software and still, no good.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Dru

Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
"the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
and
"the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
Thank you

1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

Printing to a Linksys Wireless Print Server with my MAC

have a small home network using an ATT DSL modem-router. I have several PCs hardwired to the router and 1 older MAC wireless. I have a MAC G4 laptop and a Dell laptop (my wife's) also connected wirelessly and all work well. I have added a Linksys wireless print server today and am able to get my wife's laptop to print easily and reliable as does the hardwired Dell. What I need is to get my MAC laptop to print wirelessly as well. I have tried all the options in the printer set-up but it does not see the print server. Linksys does not support MAC and there are no MAC drivers for the print server to download that I know of. Does anyone know of a fix on how I could configure this equipment so I can print wirelessly from my MAC laptop. Or perhaps bypass the print server and print using the modem-router and the same printer. I would appreciate any suggestions one could lend. Thanks much.
Power Book G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.10) Virtual PC capable

Looking at figure 8-5 and the text to its left in the User Guide.
Click Add in Printer Setup, then select IP printer > IPP. Enter the print server's IP address AND queue name P1. With that info filled in OS X has all it needs to address the printer on the print server.
Download and install the CUPS driver version 1.1.0, and choose it when you Add in Printer Setup.
