Lost part of Printer connection using a WRT600n

I have a WRT600N router and have lost part on my printer connections. My PC desktop(XP PRO) is connected using a WUSB600N, my MAC laptop is connect via wireless and my iMac is connected via Cat6 cable. The network printer is connected to the WRT600N via cat5 cable. Here is my problem - my Windows destop PC cannot print, my MAC laptop prints only using the MAC side, connot print via VM/Windows(XP PRO) and the same holds true for the iMac. Everything worked fine until I had a power outage, when everything re-booted thats when the problem started.

Remove and Add Printer again...Check if the trick works...

Wireless printer connection

I lost my wireless printer connection. It keeps telling me the printer is "offline" What do I do?

WHAT TYPE OF PRINTER DO YOU HAVE????
Try doing the "wireless setup wizard"
-this usually found in the SETUP menu> wirless(network)> Wireless

I lost the lan ethernet connection of an older windows 7 pc to my 3 Terabyte router when adding a new local printer to the pc. How do i set this up again so the PC is recognized and can get to the internet again through the time capsule?

I recently added a new printer to a 2005 vintage PC that is running windows 7. It used to go through a router in my wifes upstairs office to the time capsule by wired ethernet (cat5) but when I added her new local printer thought I would network it, big mistaked, lost all my ethernet connection and she cannot get to the internet. Wireless not an option. How do i set up again the ethernet connection and i will only USB the printer locally this time for the windows pc?
Tried windows diagnostics, and besides telling me to reset everything and turn router off and on etc. I am in an endless loop.
Other Mac products are not impacted by this issue.

I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

Printing using a printer connected to a router - IP Printing

Greetings:
I am trying to assist a friend of mine with a technical problem. Let me first describe the environment:
- US Robotics MaxG router with wireless network and USB port to plug a printer.
- MacBook Pro with Tiger 10.4.11
- Canon MP210 printer.
Some basics:
- Printer works fine if attached to USB.
- Connectivity between MacBook and router is fine - in facts no problems to surf the Internet.
Problem:
We connected the Canon printer to the USB port on the router. The router configuration software indicated us the printer address: http://192.168.1.1:1631/printer/canon, it also indicates the printer is ready.
On Tiger we used the IP printing to configure. The problem is that there is no clean mention on how to write the address, we tried this:
- http://192.168.1.1:1631
- http://192.168.1.1:1631/printer/canon
- 192.168.1.1:1631
- 192.168.1.1
Once entered, the printer is all the time off-line - no communication with it.
To further complicate the things, the MP210 driver is never listed in the pulldown menu for available printers, despite the printer package has been installed.
Did anyone come across this problem before?
Best regards
Claudio

The issue you are having is partly a driver issue. You must use a CUPS driver to use the standard CUPS network protocols in OS X. I think Canon released a CUPS driver in December for the MP210 - do you have that?
Then, about the address. USRobotics uses a non-standard port for the IPP protocol. Usually it's :631, but you'll notice that it's :1631 for USR. To do that in OS X, you need the "Advanced" protocol selections. In Printer Setup (10.4), click Add, then hold down the Option key and click More Printers. At the bottom of the first menu you will find the new item Advanced. Select that. Then in the second menu, you will find Internet Printing Protocol using http (or IPP - on OS X these are identical). Enter the URI:
http://192.168.1.1:1631/printers/canon -- in this case canon is the queue name.

Lost printer connection when upgraded Finality connection

Upgraded Xfinity Internet connection. I have wireless printer (HP deskjet 3051A) and lap top Toshiba - and use windows 7. With the upgrad I received a new netwrok name and password for my wireless connection. There is no isses accessing the internet etc, but when I upgraded I lost the printer connection on my lap top. Xfinity said they couldn't help. It appears like something needs to be reconfigured but I have not been able to do that. Any easy solution to fix this problem?

Hi,
From the cotrol panel select Devices and Printers, right click and remove any listed HP Deskjet 3050 printer by selecting Remove Device.
From the Start menu go to Programs > HP > HP Deskjet 3050 and click the printer icon to launch its software.
Select Conenct a new printer by selecting wireless connection, follow the steps on screen to configure the printer for your new router.
Note: the installation might require a temporary USB connection in order to configure the printer for your new network.

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

Hi,
I am currently replying to this as it shows in the iChat Community.
I have asked the Hosts to move it to Snow Leopard (you should not lose contact with it through any email links you get)
I also don't do Wirelss printing so I can't actaully help either.

Printing to a Printer Connected to TIme Machine when using Remote Desktop

Hi,
I am having trouble printing to a printer connected to our wireless network via Time Capsule when I am on my remote desktop connection. Printing from all other programs work. I downloaded Bonjour on our Windows based server, and it did not detect any printers. When I am connected directly to the printer, I can print when using remote desktop. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Airport Extreme/Express do emulate Jetdirect/port 9100 printing, but that isn't what they use for printing from OS X. OS X and the Bonjour/airport software use USB port redirection, a unique and separate method.
If the HP driver supports any protocol over ethernet, it would be appletalk. Does that router server use appletalk?

Is there any way to print wirelessly using Airport Extreme with an older printer (HP Laserjet 2100 TN) - no USB connection.

I have an older printer and currently use a Cisco wireless router with Network Magic software which allows me to leave my 30 pin printer connected to the desktop computer and share the printer with everything on the network. Does the Airport Extreme allow for this? I am just connecting one that I purchased but can only find documentation on connecting the printer via USB (which my old printer does not have). The printer is late 90's vintage, but its comercial grade and is still one of the best printers I have used so I want to keep it going for now.

I don't really know much about anything BUT with that said, I have PCs, I have an old commerical work horse HP laser printer that works with the Airport Express as a print server through my wireless router. But having problems with my wireless router, never my AE, now how to change from WEP to WPA etc.for a new wireless router. Maybe I need to look into the Extreme. Good luck

Adobe Reader X update - printer connection lost

After I updated to Adobe Reader X the other day I lost my printer connection online. Offline printing is fine. The printer does not appear in the print window as before. I thought it was the site I was trying to print from (Barclays) - after lengthy discussions with them it appears the problem resulted from the Adobe update. Very annoying. How do I fix please?

How does one delete the installer cache files? I couldn't find them in 10.7.2 I IDID find Cache files in the Library, and deleted them all. Still broken.
My 10.1.1 installer from Adobe runs and immediatly stops about 40% of the way through, and then sits there. The last time I started the install before lunch, and after lunch the installer was in the exact same spot, but said it would take an hour and 45 min to install! I'm running OS 10.7.2 on a 2009 MBP.
Update:
OK, I put Adobe Reader 9.4.6 back in my Applications folder. I open it up, and do "check for updates". It says I am up to date, and that there are no new updates.
The 10.1.1 installer I downloaded DIRECTLY by going to Adobe.com and following the links for my Mac. I even deleted the installer once and then redownloaded it just to make sure I had a good copy. This is the screen I get when I run the installer. It gets to this point in about 30 seconds, always between the "r"and "i" in scripts, and the time remaining just keeps going up. HELP!

Try deleting the printer, restarting, and trying software update again.
If that doesn't work, you can download the entire HP package here:

Can I print wirelessly using my iPhone to a printer that I have connected to a time capsule?

I have a printer connected via USB port on the time capsule, and I have the printer shared throughout the network. The printer is not an ePrint model. Since the printer is in my network, can I use my iphone or ipad to print documents?

If you have a Mac running on the network, try Printopia.
There is a free trial, so you will know if will work before you buy. There are other apps that can do this as well, but I cannot offer a specific recommendation.

HT4356 Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?

Can I use a 'pc' network printer connected via ethernet to the home wifi network ?
or must the printer I want to use also have a wifi connection ?
I have a home network using ethernet connected devices to a router, also attached to th erouter is a WiFi unit. We are using the WiFi unit to connect to the network and hence to the big wide WWW. We now want to print from our IPads pereferable to our netowk connected HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a series. (not the wireless model).
I was using the HP ePrint app to print from the Ipad, but I do not fully understand how this works. It seems that you must use the app to do the printing which is fine for basic email and photos, but I can not access the drawing package I have, and want to print from it. Please what is it that I do not understand.

You must use an airprint printer directly connected to wifi through it's own wifi card.

How do i print from my mac book using printer connected to my Imac

I am trying to print from my Mac book by using the printer connected to my Imac however i keep getting a notice which says
Authentication required.what am i missing? I set them up to share printing but something is wrong

Before trying to figure out if I can help or not, a bit more specific information is needed:
1. You list an iMac G5 in your profile - is that the iMac you are using? In that case, you'd get more knowledgeable answers in the G5 forums (this is an Intel iMac forum). If you have an Intel, please give more details (model, etc).
2. What model/make printer? Does it have wireless capabilities?
3. What model/make router? Or are you simply trying to use the built in Airport from your iMac? In that case, do you have printer sharing enabled on both machines? If so, did you create a network? For detailed info on that, use the Help Menu in Finder and type in Network - one of the subjects available will be "creating a computer-to-computer network". It contains instructions on how to create it including a password (authentication).
You might also try to use the search function on this forum and type in "printer sharing". There are many threads, some of which might be useful to you.
