Lion; how to print on a shared 10.6 printer

I'm trying to set up a printer (Brother HL-2030) connected to my MacBook (Snow Leopard). That works. It's shared and I also went into the sharing preferences and checked. On my other MacBook (Lion) I can se the Bonjour printer on the first MacBook and I can create the printer driver on the second MacBook. When I then try to print I get an error message saying something about a rasterfile and the print job is then automatically stopped at the server.
This should be possible I assume. Any ideas on what to do?

OK. Parna's answer suggests that someone got it working. Rusot then suggests the action to be taken. I therefore deleted the print queues on both; while both Macs were on the internet added first the shared print queue on Mac-1 (Snow) and the the print queue on Mac-2 (Lion) through Bonjour. When printing from Mac-2 I get the (same) message:
/Library/Printers/Brother/Filter/rastertobrother2030 failed
The print driver (Brother HL-2030 CUPS) that is loaded with the print queues on both Mac-1 and Mac-2 is the same, which was recently updated on the Brother homepage and they claim it is both 10.6 and 10.7 compatible. To confirm this I have successfully tried to print through the USB from both Mac-1 and Mac-2.

In Mountain Lion, how to print email message without the attachments.

Would like to print only the transmittal part of the email without printing the attachments - tried reply or forward and printing, but still wants to print the attached pdfs. I know someone out there knows how - help please?

Not sure if this will work, but could try this: select the message then hit Cmd-Shift-S. My thinking is this will save it as a Text Edit document (save it to the Desktop), text only, without the attachment. Then, in Text Edit, select Format>Wrap to Page and print.
EDIT: just checked this with an email with an attachment. Came up as text only, minus the attachment.

Anyone know how to print from Win2K or WinXP to shared printer on iMac?

Help! Anyone know how to print from Win2K or WinXP to shared printer on iMac? I have a new IMac hosting a Canon iP4300, a pc running W2K & a pc running WXPsp2. All computers recognize each other and the iP4300 on the network and can share files. All Mac "Windows Sharing" & "Printer Sharing" preferences sre set correctly. Apple says the printer must be configured on the Windows computers as an SMB/CIFS network printer using a Postscript driver. I can find lots of pages on the net telling me I what needs to be done, but nothing stating how to do it. All the info I've found is either overly simplistic and or relates to the 10th dang of enterprise server administration. Would VERy much appreciate any help at all.

How do I correct File Sharing problems between 2 Lion installs?

I have having a strange problem with file sharing between 2 mac's that have Lion Installed. One is a MacPro with a clean install of Lion and the other is a MacBook that was upgraded with Lion. Both systems have file sharing enabled (just public folders for now) and I cannot connect from the MacPro to the MacBook. The other direction works fine (MacBook to MacPro).
The MacBook shows up in the finder of the MacPro, but when I click on it, it says "Connection Failed". It does then even when I "Connect As" and explicitly put in the user and password of a user on the MacBook.
The only way to connect is to use the "Connnect to Server" optin in the finder window and use the IP address of the MacBook and explicitly use a valid user and password (guest will not connect from this method either)
I have rebooted both machines and the router and have "repaired permissions" on the MacBook HDD.
Any ideas?
(I'm sure I can do a clean Lion install, but this is a real pain to get all of my wife's data backed up properly)
Thanks!

I get the same thing -- this post makes me feel a bit better, actually .
Please see my post here: Idiosyncratic File Sharing Failure with Lion

How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

Hi,
I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
It is listed here.
First, I go to "show presets."
Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
Does anyone know how to turn it on?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi nat.the.musical,
If you are having issues selecting two-sided printing from the Print window, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Mountain Lion, but should also apply to Mavericks):

How to print a BLOB (image) on a PDF report using Oracle APEX Listener as Print Server

Hi,
I use APEX 4.2.
I have the following query as SQL text for a Report Queries in Shared Components:
select
    customer_id,
    cust_first_name,
    cust_last_name,
    cust_street_address1,
    cust_street_address2,
    cust_city,
    cust_state,
    cust_postal_code,
    phone_number1,
    phone_number2,
    credit_limit,

    '" height="75" width="75" alt="Photo Customer" title="Photo Customer" />') customer_image,
    mimetype,
    image_last_update
from
    demo_customers;
I am unable to have the image printed on the PDF report. Even when the P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE is defined as session state item.
Does someone knows how to print such image/BLOB in a PDF report?
Thanks by advance.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
Indeed, I would need a custom layout.
Unfortunately, it seems (according to this white paper) not possible with the APEX listener only. I would need a third pary tool. A pity...
For me strange, that I cannot generate such a report having images or pictures in a pre-definied report layout... Maybe a future enahancement for Oracle.
Kind Regards.

Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions. I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue. I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

Lion and wireless printing set up

How do I set up my brother mfc 9970cdw laser printer to work wirelessly with lion 10.7.4?

I can think of two possible ways, depending on how that printer is configured:
1) If the printer is connected to another computer, configure that computer to share the printer.
2) If that printer has built-in wireless capability, use the printer's documentation to configure it to join the local area network. Then in the printer panel in System Preferences add the printer.

Lion address book prints extra page

For years I had no trouble printing envelopes straight from Address book. But since I upgraded to Lion, when I print an envelope, it prints (1) the envelope just fine, but then also (2) a blank 8.5"x11" page. How do I get it to stop printing the extra page?

HP printers for years have had a problem printing an extra envelope from the Apple Addressbook Application with the # 10 envelope.
Solution: Select a #9 envelop. This prints about the same size and does not have an extra envelope.
How to: From Address book, select print, Style: Envelopes, Layout: Layout pulldown Official 9 then print
Interestingly the two smaller and two larger sizes only print one envelope. You can test this by clicking pdf and open pdf in preview.
On System 7.4 I cannot find a way to change the orientation to verticle as described above.
I have told Apple.

How to print or save a webpage report?

Hi all,
How to print or save a webpage report? Not using the save spreadsheet?
When I create classical report (no form link) I can see still see an edit (pencil button) . When I click the pencil button i gives me a page
that is not updatable but the display is better to view for single record viewing. Unlike using spreadsheet which is not good to look and share to a user or client.
How can I print this page please? or save it to file?
In contrast to a classical report when I made one, it does not show this view pencil button. How can I configure it to display?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
you can do this by two ways
1)If you want to print only current page,
then go to region definition of your report
In region header copy this code,
<input type="button" id="PrintButton" value="Print this page" window.print()">
this option helps you to print only the current page.
2) If you want to create print button which is applicable for all pages of your application,
then go to shared component->navigation bar
create navigation to url
Under Entry Display
In Entry Label = print
Under Target
Target type = Page in this application
Page = &APP_PAGE_ID.
and check the Printer Friendly option
Hope this will helps you,
thanks

How can I subscribe to shared mail folder

Hello,
I have added shared IMAP folder to my account on the mail server, but still can't see it on my MAC mail.
I can't see any shared folders to subscribtion list to subscribe to unlike having the same account on thunderbird-windows which I am able to see it perfectly.
How can I see the shared IMAP folder on MAC mail client too?
Thanks.

The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
- at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
- a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
- a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
- OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
- iPhoto 9.4
...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
[ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]

How to print a HTML file in browser look using DocPrintJob

Hello guys,
Does anyone know how to print HTML output/file into browser look?
I'm using DocPrintJob and the DocFlavor set to DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE.
posted below is my code :
public class BasicPrint {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Open the image file
            String testData = "C:/new_page_1.html";
            InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(testData));
            DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
            // Find the default service
            PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
            System.out.println(service);
            // Create the print job
            DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
            Doc doc= new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
            // Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
            // see e702 Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
            PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
            // Print it
            job.print(doc, null);
            // Wait for the print job to be done
            pjDone.waitForDone();
            // It is now safe to close the input stream
            is.close();
        } catch (PrintException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    static class PrintJobWatcher {
        // true iff it is safe to close the print job's input stream
        boolean done = false;
        PrintJobWatcher(DocPrintJob job) {
            // Add a listener to the print job
            job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobAdapter() {
                public void printJobCanceled(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent pje) {
                    allDone();
                void allDone() {
                    synchronized (PrintJobWatcher.this) {
                        done = true;
                        PrintJobWatcher.this.notify();
        public synchronized void waitForDone() {
            try {

                    wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
}the printed ouput for this code will be look like this
<html>
<body>
<div style="page-break-after:'always';
            background-color:#EEEEEE;
            width:400;
            height:70">
     testPrint</div>
ABCDEFGHIJK<p>
</p>
</body>
</html>however, the output that i want is the HTML in browser look not HTML code itself.
i've tried to change the DocFlavor into any TEXT_HTML type but it gives error:
sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor if you guys has any idea or solution, can you share with me... already search in Google but still not found any solution
Thanks in advanced.

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

Multiple users, devices & Apple IDs in the house. Can we, and how would we, use Home Sharing?

We have three users in the house, each with their own Apple ID, using multiple mac/PC devices. Can we and how would we use Home Sharing to share music, apps, etc?

Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.
