Macbook on longer connects with shared printer

Whenever I try to print from my Macbook using a shared printer I see this error message :
can't open `/private/var/spool/cups/tmp/50d23352019a8'.
The shared printer is attached to a PowerMac G5. The G5 printer sharing is on, and the correct printer is selected.
This problem just recently started.
In the Macbook's Systems Prefs Print&Fax pane it shows the G5 shared printer by name and its location.
I believe something is wrong with my Sharing Pane in my Macbook's System Prefs.
This pane shows the printer's name and the G5's location, the Printer sharing box is checked and the Printer Sharing green light button is on
However the two rectangular boxes marked Printer and Users are both empty, and the + - signs are both grayed out.
They used to contain the printers name in the Printer box and everybody in the users box.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this? Do I need to make a change in CUPS?
Thanks,
Walter
PowerMac G5 running OSX 10.5.8 with Epson Stylus C120 printer attached by USB cable.
Macbook Running OSX 10.6.8

Try Add a Printer.
In System Preferences / Print and Fax, the padlock has to be unlocked to get access to + and -.
Remove the old printer name etc. (the - sign), then click on the + sign to add the same one back again.

My macbook said it can no longer connect with my iPhone 5c

I got a pop-up window that said iTunes could no longer connect with my device (iPhone 5c), and now when tethered via USB cable iTunes doesn't recognize my phone as a device. I've restarted my Mac and phone, reinstalled and updated iTunes, and checked for any physical problems with both (of which there are none). I've browsed the various answers other users have given but none have helped.
This phone is less than two months old. I'm hoping this is somehow a mishap on my part but if anyone could offer some advice I'd greatly appreciate it!

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My wireless keyboard no longer connects with my iMac since changing the batteries. It now shows as not connected, not paired and not configured. A friend recently connected his iPad to the iMac and since then the problem started. Any ideas to resolve this

My iPad is no longer communicating with my printer

My iPad is no longer communicating with my printer. I get a message that it is contacting printer and then eventually it tells me that my printer is off line but it's not.

First, follow these steps:
Turn off internet modem (DSL)
Turn off wireless router
Turn off printer
Turn off iPad
WAIT THREE MINUTES BEFORE TURNING THEM ON
Turn on previous items in the EXACT order they were turned off
Allow Third Party Access
After the rebooting, go into your computer or printer's network connection, and make sure that third party devices have permission to have access to the printer.
If you're having problems after that, I deduct that the problem is not with the iPad, but with the printer itself.
Is the printer connected to Wi-Fi? Or, is the printer directly linked to your wireless router?
In the event that the printer IS connected to Wi-Fi, either refer to the user's manual that came with it, contact customer service, or let me know below!
In the event that the printer IS NOT connected to Wi-Fi but to a wireless router, resort to the following steps:
Check the (ethrnet) cable linking your printer and wireless router for any damage.
Make sure the ethernet cable is connected.
Check the wireless router's lights. The cable that was plugged in should have a matching light that turns on and off when plugged in, and removed.
If the light is off, try plugging the ethernet cable into a different port. Repeat this step until a light turns on.
If none of the port lights turn on, your wireless router is the problem.
If the port light does turn on, a connection between the printer and router is established.
Try to connect your device and the printer again.
After following these steps, and it's still not working, post another comment and let me know! My life is now dedicated to helping you get your iPad and printer connected!

Macbook can't connect with/to iMac

I've got an Mabook and an iMac, plus an airport extreme. Both can connect wireless to the internet, my iMac sees and connects with the macbook just fine, but when I try to connect my macbook to my imac it sees the imac (it shows up under 'shared' in finder, but it won't connect. It keeps on trying and after a good few minutes it just tells me the connection got reset or something like that. What can I do to have my macbook establishing a connection with my imac?

I've had this problem before... hopefully your fix is as simple as mine was.
You should double check the iMac's "Sharing" preference pane and make sure that file sharing is enabled. It's confusing because there is a "Guest" account set up so that everyone can get to the publicly accessible "shared" folders (that's why the iMac shows up on your MacBook's finder) but you won't be able to actually log into the iMac unless it has file sharing turned on.
I hope this helps!

Mail App no longer connecting with Hotmail accounts

I have had my hotmail accounts connected to my Mail app on my iMac for years, no problem. As of yesterday the Mail App wil no longer connect with any of my hotmail accounts. It is connecting with my gmail accounts.
The error message I get is: "UNable to receive Mail: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “EKRDL” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “pop3.live.com” refused to allow a connection on port 995"
Hep anyone? What is happening here?

You're welcome.
How the heck did you figure that one out?!
I didn't, actually. Someone else in this forum (and probably other people in other forums as well), figured it out by looking at the changes introduced by the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update, and checking his/her own settings accordingly:

TS1398 My iPod connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with airport or hotel routers. This model is no longer supported by Apple. Is there any way I can boost its ability to pick up Wi-Fi in public places?

My iPod Touch connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with Wi-Fi at airports or hotels. Is there anything I can do?

First what you want to do is connect to your wireless connection .
Click On Settings>WiFi>Turn WiFi ON. Make sure you are connecting to YOUR wireless connection , check what is the name of your ssid(wireless name) on your router.
Before you connect to your wireless connection check if your connection is secured or not. To do that follow, the steps above once you found your wireless.
If there is a LOCK image that means your connection is secured, from this point you want to get that WEP or WAP key from your wireless router.
Connecting to your wireless network with Ipod Touch
If asked for password enter your WEP or WAP key and click on Join button, wait few moments and then see if you are connected. Test with your safari browser.
Can't connect to wireless network?
Few things you can check:
Did you get an IP address from your wireless router?
Unplug the power from your router shut down your ipod touch. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your Ipod Touch.
with the router been in a cafe airport etc you need to ask them to reset there router
You are not getting an IP at all?
Are you sure you are connected to your wireless router?
Does your router have MAC address filtering On?
Did you enter correct Password (WEP-WAP key)?
Few more things to check...
Does your homepage work?
Did you try yahoo.com google.com ebay.com etc?
How about your YouTube do you get any videos?

Spooler.exe tries to communicate with shared printer on TCP:47546 port

Hi,
We have:
1. AD
2. Win7 Pro Workstations
3. Symantec Endpoint Protection - allowed only SMB ports (135,137,138,139,445), denied all other communications incl broadcast.
4. WS2 - computer with shared printer
Issue: As I can see in WS1 SEP Logs spooler.exe tries to communicate with WS2 on the TCP:47546 port. SEP blocks those communications and shared printer stays "grayed". The solution I found is to restart spooler. Sometimes it helps
Why does it happen? What should I do to force spooler to comunicate on standard SMB ports?
UPD: Printer shared and as \\WS2\Printer and as \\IP\printer - in both cases the issue persists

Hi,
I am Chetan Savade from Symantec Technical Support Team.
You can either add printer to excluded host.
To add the printer to "Excluded Hosts":
1. Open your Intrusion Prevention Policy.
2. Choose to Settings on the left.
3. Check the box for Enable excluded hosts and then click the
Excluded Hosts... button.
4. Add the IP address of your printer and choose Okay.
Can refer the following article to create remote port exception.

Is your HP printer wireless? If so, no wire.
If it isn't plug it in using the cable it came with. Simple.
