Mac mini can't find laserjet 5000 printer

My Mac Mini is linked to my printer via ethernet through a router. The computer doesn't "see" the printer. I've gone through print utility in system preferences and the only printer it shows in Adobe pdf. I've tried resetting and still the printer doesn't appear. I've tried turning the printer on and off and running the ethernet directly to the printer, bypassing the router. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Mac mini can not find the NAS

    In my network I have a Mac mini, AirPort Extreme base station and a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v2. Everything is connected by cable. The problem is that the Mac mini can not find the NAS. Mac mini is looking for wirelessly connected devices, type TimeCapsule. How do I get my Mac mini to find the NAS and set the NAS as a source of data storage?

    I have a ReadyNAS and use it as a Time Machine destination with no problems, even over WiFi. The ReadyNAS and Mac are both on the same LAN (even though the Mac is on WiFi), please check to see if your WiFi is on a different LAN to the Ethernet side of things, I have my Airport set to bridging mode so both sides of the AirPort count as the same LAN.
    Next you need to check you have actually configured Time Machine in the ReadyNAS, as shipped it is initially turned off. You need to go to the ReadyNAS web management interface (FrontView) and then click on Backup on the left, and then select Time Machine. You also need to make sure Bonjour is enabled for the ReadyNAS, this is accessed by clicking on Services on the left and then selecting Discovery Services, make sure all the Bonjour options are ticked on.

  • Mac Mini Can't Find my Printer Hooked Up Via Firewire?

    My Canon i9900 printer has both USB 2.0 and FW400 ports. When I hooked it up to my Mac Mini via USB, it recognizes it fine. But when I tried to hook it up via a FW400 to FW800 adapter cable, it doesn't show up in the list of printers in System Pref's "Print & Fax." Not even when I do a search for "more printers." But when I check the Firewire port in the Mini's System Profiler, there it is listed as being connected, a Canon printer.
    Thinking it may be a problem with my adaptor cable, I hooked it to an external FW400 HDD and turned it on. No problem, the HDD was immediately recognized and showed up on my desktop as an external firewire drive.
    How can I get the Mini to recognize my printer hooked up to my FW800 port? I sure would like to free up one of my USB ports, as well as get better printer performance via firewire. Thanks.

    Recognizing the printer over Firewire would require the proper class driver, which I'm guessing doesn't exist.
    I seriously doubt there would be a speed increase using a FW interface. Printing is not that data intensive and the speed bottle neck would not be USB. USB hubs are not expensive if you need more ports.

    Only with a whole lot of effort and instability.  As the new Minis have
    hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
    The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
    running 10.6.8.  I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
    be enough to be unusable is the question.

  • My mac snow leopard 10.6.8 can not find my 3050a printer wireless

    My mac snow leopard 10.6.8 can not find my 3050a printer even though i have added the printer bonjour to my print list, even though the blue and white light s are on on the printer panel.
    I have good signal strength
    the printer ip is 192.168.1.8
    Help

    OK, using these instructions: https://www.broadbandadvice.org.uk/Website/Routers/HG532.htm  change the channel to 11.
    Now, if and when the printer is connected with a vaild IP address, let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

    When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem?  My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine.  I shouldn't have to buy a new one.  Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

    I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected?  That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
    How is your network configured?  Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary.  If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
    You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router.  If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation.  The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router.  But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
    Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

  • Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive.  How do i fix this?

    Hi,
    Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive.  I've tried several Terminal commands to kill/quit/relaunch it, but nothing seems to work.  Once my Mac has been put to sleep there is nothing I can do to get it back after I have woken it up.  I always have to restart my computer, and even then, I have to hold the power button to shut it down because it will never fully shut down from the restart.  I have a feeling that Finder is still running in the background and not allowing the mac to shut down.  I'd rather not have to reinstall my OS.  Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew, what all is connected USB wise?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for Sleep/Wake problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • I can't find a wifi printer on my imac

    Hello,
    I can't find a wifi printer on my imac. It's always linked automatically to wifi printers before. It's an HP deskjet, I've tried downloading drivers for it, but still no joy. Any ideas what I should do? Thanks,

    In future posts, please tell us more of the details - which printer, which Mac, which OS X version, etc. Have you changed anything lately?
    First thing I would try is Reset Printing System (and after, try adding the printer again):

    Generally YES.
    It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
    Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
    Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
    Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
    After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
    iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
    Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
    That's all.
    Lupunus
    PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

  • 2005 Mac Mini, can this connect this wirelessly to my home network as an iTunes server

    I have acquired a 2005 Mac Mini which appears to need direct cable connection to my router to access the internet.  Is there a way around this that  I can modify to access my home network wirelessly so I can use this as a stable location for my itunes library rather than my macbook pro.  The Mac mini is located in a room upstairs but my router is situated in the lounge alongside my Apple TV.  I want to try and get the mac mini to be the storage location for itunes that my apple tv will use.
    Would the addition of an airport express or the like be a solution or am I barking up the wrong tree.  Due to the age, is it likely that the mac mini can be used as a mini desktop only rather than as a file server?
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as you have probably gathered, I am an apple novice

    Per this
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini
    an internal wifi card was optional.
    You need a USN wifi stict that is compatible with your Mac. This one shuld work

    It says:
    Supports Windows , ME, 2000, XP, vista , windows 7,MAC OS 10.X, Linux
    Just mak sure that what yo get works with OSX 10.4.11 or 10.5.8. Your G4 Mini can only go to 10.5.8

    moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

    When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
    If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.
