Lost printer on Macs not PC
Don't really know where to post this, so here goes- I am running wireless on my iMac and on my Macbook Pro, and my Sony VAIO. The base station is Apple Express with Bonjour for the wireless. Also Bonjour for the PC. I lost the ability to connect my printer, Canon IP3000 on only my Macs. I cannot add the Canon IP3000 printer. I can connect directly thru USB port but no wireless on any Mac. I can still print wirelessly with the PC, no problem there. Have reloaded the drivers and corrected permissions. In the printer dialogue box it shows the printer I want to add, but will not add it. It says "adding printer" but spins intermenably. Worked alright up until last nite. Strange losing printer on both Macs at the same time.
iMac Intel Duo/MacBook Pro 2 Gigs RAM ea. Sony VAIO/ 3 keyboards 2 hands Mac OS X (10.4.7) iMac 20" Intel core duo-250Gig HD-2Gig RAM/Bootcamp-Macbook Pro Parallels

Lost print capability on Mac 5 years after install
Yesterday my home office network lost print capability with both my Windows and Mac computers. I was able to re-enter a new IP address for Windows - up and running. I have been trying all tricks I know which aren't many due to the reliability of my AirPort Extreme mushroom router. I was able to print once, one document at a time on my Mac but have to reset the network single IP address each time. What's up?

Not sure what you mean by that. What have you tried?
First things first, if your Extreme is 5 years old, the proper forum to ask post is in this one: Airport Extreme (non-802.11n model).
Next, if you're really running OS X 10.4.5 you ought to update it to the latest version of Tiger, which is 10.4.11. I know of no reason not to update.
You might be successful by simply deleting the printer from your printer list and adding it again. I've also found it's best to assign the printer a fixed IP address. If your network suffers a power failure causing your Extreme to reassign IP addresses, your printer won't receive a different one next time it boots. When that happens, it makes the printer hard to find, network-wise.
I've assigned my network printers an address of 10.0.1.100, 10.0.1.101, etc, which leaves plenty of available addresses on that subnet, so consider doing that. -

Hp laserjet printer pro m1217 print file was not accepted Mac
Hi
I connected my printer wirelessly via Bonjour. It is connected but for some reason doesn't print, giving me an error message: "print file was not accepted."
Any help is greatly appreciated.
DavidHi Djcain
I understand your HP Laserjet m1217 is setup wirelessly but wont print from the the mac and you are getting a error message "print file was not accepted".
If your are using 10.8 then make sure when you added the driver you added the printer name m1217 and not the airprint driver that is preinstalled on the mac.
Please provide the Mac operating system you are on for further assistance.

Office jet 6100 series not printing from Mac OS X 10.9.3
office jet 6100 series not printing from Mac OS X 10.9.3. This seems to have happened suddenly. USB hardwired to a new Macbook Pro. HP Inkjet 6 Driver 2.0.3 Any ideas?
This question was solved.
View Solution.I would recommend resetting the printing system, then rebooting the mac to allow it to scan for the usb connection to the printer. It should then automatically add the printer back, and if any other updates are needed, it'll ask you to install htem

Mac not able to command Printer - Printer is able to command Mac
The Mac cannot command the HP printer to print. Print is somehow not able to work by either clicking " print " or using file/print while in iphoto8 or any program for that matter.
The Mac will recieve into iphoto a scanned image from the HP printer but for some reason cannot command the HP printer to print.
The Mac and HP successfully work via the router connection that enables the HP to send scanned images to the Mac's iphoto8 software without error.
How do I run a diagnostic on the Mac so it can find the HP printer and restore the file/print command ?
ThanksFollowed your recommendation and even designated this printer as default.
Went back to document in Word and selected file print. As soon as I selected this printer the program shut down and Word quit.
Fortunately this document had been named and saved. Because it is not listed in " recent documents or in open. Only able to find in Spotlight.
When I bring it back from Spotlight it is a " recovered document " of course because of the quit sequence I am sure.
When I go again to file/print I only have to select this printer name ( which by the way is also listed under Bonjur ) and the document vanishes and Word quits.
Any suggestions further are appreciated
Imagine I will have to take this Mac to Apple store in the morning. -
After updating my mac to the new operating system I have had several problems. Now my printer program is not working.
Do you have any suggestions?Start by telling us what printer you hope to use.
Look at the printer manufacturers site to see if they have a 10.9 print driver.
Assuming you have tried to delete & re-add the printer it's possible that the model is no longer supported.
You can also try the printing system reset…(I think 10.9 is the same as the Lion instructions).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
If the model is supported you should be able to add it & the driver will be downloaded. -
I want to install a printer hp laser pro cp1525nw on my macbook air with mountain lion 10.8.2 . I download the drivers from the apple site and install them . I resart the macbook . I just can not add a new printer . the computer dos not start a research
Can you help me?hi . I had the simalar problems of my HP b209a-m printer not being seen on my wireless network> I could not add the printer and could not get the printer to join my network, I found this post at HP discussion and it worked!
Each printer has different options/settings but it seems like the general idea should work ok if you can reset printer back to factory settings and find Printer IP Adress.
This is for HP printers
1. On the printer navigate to the Wireless or Network menu.
2. Select Restore Defaults.
3. On your computer look for a wireless network named 'hpsetup' and connect to it.
4. Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to see its IP address. (on my b209a-m Printer the IP info was found by pressing the Wireless Icon)
5. Type the IP address into the address bar of a web browser to see the printer's internal settings.
6. Click on the Network tab and look for the Wireless Setup Wizard and run it.
7. The Passphrase is the password you use on your wireless connection.
8. Now change the network name on your computer back to your wireless network.
The printer will now be connected to your network. With your the computer backyour wireless network network, you can re-add the printer from System Preferences.
Hope this works--- it did for me.

I opened and edited a pic from my Olympus camera onto my mac (not in iPhoto). I zoomed in and rotated the pictures and when I tried to click out of them, I got a message that the file was locked because I hadn't used it recently and "If you want to make changes to this document, click Unlock. To keep the file unchanged and work with a copy, click Duplicate." I clicked "unlock" and then another message came up with the options of OK, Cancel, or Revert. If I hit OK, I couldn't go back to my original picture. I clicked OK.
Then later I tried to open the picture in iPhoto and it doesn't recognize it, even though it is still a JPEG file. It still shows on my camera, but shows as a bland square in iPhoto. Have I lost the ability to open it in iPhoto? Will I be able to go to a store and print it out from my camera?No one can answer that since you only provide problems and questions
we need to know exactly what you have, what you did and what happened including exact error messages

What software did you use and exactly what did you do and what exactly was the error message? There is a good chance that you will need help for the support for the program you used. Where was the photos you were editing not using iPHoto?

What version of iPhoto Had you imported the photo into iPhoto - iPhoto is not a photo viewer and can not open photos that have not been imported
as to how your camera and the store work - those are qestions for them -

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion
Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.
