MF4770n Linux Printing Over Wired Ethernet

Having a problem printing from Linux over the wired network to my MF4770n. CUPS finds the printer over the network just fine (I've tried all 3 connection options offered). CUPS reports the test prints finished OK. The printer wakes up from sleep and does nothing. No error messages on printer nor CUPS log.
Distro's tried: Debian Wheezy & Jessie, Ubuntu 14.04
Drivers installed: Both latest CUPS & UFRII DEB's from Canon website.
Any help would be appreciated

I'm no expert but I don't think you can print from your wired Mac via the router- I had a similar problem a while ago. Now I have my printer connected to the express via usb that is shared by my laptops wirelessly. I also have an iMac connected to the express via ethernet that works fine too.
I think the printer has to be connected directly to the express, not through a router.
Hope this helps!

Implementing IEEE 802.1X Standard over wired Ethernet LAN

I'm trying to implement the 802.1X Standard on a wired LAN. Basically it is the EAP authentication mechanisms (like EAP-TLS, PEAP-MSCHAPv2) over the LAN(EAPOL). I've included the EAP Catalog items into my project but found out that the api's exposed by the
eap DLL's are used by RAS. Remote Access service(RAS) I believe uses the Point to Point protocol which is different from EAPOL.
Comparing to wireless, it seems there is a 802.1x Authentication module within the
Native 802.11(Wireless) framework(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg158436.aspx)
I would just like to know if any Platform\BSP changes or implementations can be made to support EAP Authentications over Wired LAN?
Thank You

AirTunes over Wired Ethernet Port

I seem to be finding conflicting information on this so I hope to ask a simple question. Can the AE be configured as a Wireless AP (but also wired back in to the home network in bridged mode, NAT off, DCHP Off) and still allow users on the wired side or on other APs to see AirTunes.
To date my testing finds this is not possible as I can see AirTunes from any client connecting through the AE but can not see AirTunes from any client on the home network either wired or wireless. Everything is the latest version and I can ping the AP from any device on the home network. Simple test result is Laptop connect wireless to AE works fine, same Laptop connect to other AP or wired directly does not work.
I do understand I can configure the AE as a client, but then I loose the AP functionality of the AE. Am I missing something or is this simply not possible?
John

If you configure the AirPort Express as a bridge connected by ethernet to your main router, and set the Express up to create a wireless network with exactly the same wireless network name, security and password as your "main" network, you will in effect have a larger wireless network and you should be able to "see" all your devices.. Computers will automatically connect to the access point with the strongest signal, which will normally be the closest device.
Be sure to enable AirTunes, of course on the AirPort Express.

Unable To Print Over Ethernet Network on HP 6520 all in one

All computers are on windows 8.1. My question or issue is this: Prior to purchasing a Mediabridge wireless router, wireless-n broadband 300 mps router, I had a Zyxtel wireless access point router. I am both Ethernet and wireless. Prior to the Mediabridge I would network print to my HP printer both wireless (iPhone) and over an Ethernet network (PC's and Laptop).
There is an improvement in printing wirelessly on an iPhone. I cannot print over my Ethernet network any longer. I have to unplug my laptop prior to printing before my laptop can see the printer online. With my second PC in another room I am unable to print over the Ethernet network. The printers are installed, drivers and such, but as with the laptop, I would have to unplug the Ethernet cord to print.
My error messages are showing as cannot find printer or or my control panel printer devices show as offline. If I unplug my laptop I can see the printers online. However I don't want to have to take disconnect a second PC in another room to print.
Can you offer any suggestions. Do I need to plug my printer directly into the Mediabridge wireless router?
Nancy

Hi Nancyh1030,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Photosmart 6520 Printer and getting the error and not printing. Here is a link to the HP Print and Scan Doctor. The HP Print and Scan Doctor will run a check on your system and connect the printer to same network as the computer. You do have to be connected to the same wireless as the printer to print to it. Unless you are using Eprint. If this does not help you contact Mediabridge.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Printing slow on HP LaserJet 4100 MFP wired ethernet

When I try to print to our deparment printer HP LaserJet 4100 MFP - it is extremely slow. Printing a document of 10 pages takes about 20 seconds per page. Our printer has harddisk embedded and around 100 MB Ram.
I first noticed printing from Pages was slow (printing a MS Word document), but also first printing to PDF and letting Preview print it was slow.
I am connected to the printer using wired ethernet - and the jetdirect protocol. I am using the latest driver.
regards,
Anders

I have the same problem with a new, firmware updated, HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP. Curiously, two-sided printing works fine with "Paper size: Letter" whereas it fails for "Paper size: A4". For A4 paper size every second page is a mess of stripes.

Cannot connect to printer over network from Linux

When I run hp-setup, I can get the printer listed but it appears to refuse to communicate with the device. Same problem for wired ethernet as well as wireless.
Please help, I think I have tried everything by now...
Firewall disabled on the workstation does not help. Talking to the printers web interface (:8080) works perfectly. The printer works perfectly via USB. Also works fine from another windows PC (networked)
System:
Linux Mint 17 - X86_64 (up to date)
uninstalled the mint hplip package and installed the latest from HP manually....

Printer Sharing works over wired network not over Airport - Why is this ?

Computer A (eMac, 10.2.8) has HP Laserjet connected via USB. Settings : Printer Sharing On, Firewall Off.
Computer B (G4 iBook, OS 10.3.9) when connected via ethernet cable (via router which shares my DSL line) can see and print the HP Laserjet.
Computer B when Airport turned on to join network via AX (plugged into router) cannot see any shared printers. Nor can I add Rendezvous, Appletalk or other printers.
I only just added Airport capability to the iBook, other network features (internet access, file-sharing with eMac etc) all seem to work fine.
If I plug the Ethernet cable in, computer B can now see the shared printer. If I then unplug the Ethernet cable, reverting the computer B to Airport access only, I can see and print to the shared printer.
Clearly, therefore I can print over Airport to the shared printer, but the mechanism of plugging in and then unplugging the ethernet cable isn't exactly an advert for Apple simplicity and elegance.
Would anyone care to enlighten me as to what is going on and how to fix it properly ?
Kind Regards

Greg,
many thanks for the prompt reply, and this looks a good suggestion. To clarify; I have a wired router (Netgear, can't remember exact model) and 2 Airport Express (which I call AX-A and AX-B). I use AX-A as a wireless access point and it is wired into the Netgear router. AX-B is used to provide internet access to an older iMac in a remote part of the house (not that my house is very big or anything, and is not (I believe) relevant to my printer sharing issue.
I am now using AX-A to allow my iBook to join the network. I will check when I return home, but believe the AX is already set up not to distribute IP addresses - these are from the (wired) router.
Cheers
Eoin,

IMac G5 no longer prints to laser printer over ethernet network

I have a small office with 6 iMacs networked via ethernet with a Netgear Router. Printers are connected to one machine and people send to print over the network.
3 iMacs are G5. 3 are Intel. All run OS X 10.5.8.
A month ago one of the G5 iMacs stopped being able to print to a Brother laser printer (which is connected by USB to an Intel iMac). I believe this happened after we downloaded a periodic Apple update. About 2 weeks ago a second G5 iMac developed the same problem. The 1st G5 iMac still prints fine to an inkjet printer connected directly to it by USB.
We have tried re-loading drivers, but no improvement.
Any suggestions as to how we can resolve this?

Hi DaddyPaycheck
The iMacs that can't print can see the printer. We have deleted and re-installed via the printer system prefs too. There weird thing is that you can select the printer and send to print, but for some reason the printer then automatically pauses and you can't resume it. The file is listed by the status is 'stopped'. When you open the printer queue on the Intel iMac that the laser printer is connected to, no print file shows up at all...
We also ran the network diagnostic that you can do when in printer system prefs and that reported that "the G5 iMac could connect to the internet, but not the Server "brother HL 4040CN series-1@ben's-iMac-2.ipp.tcp.local" "
Hope there's a clue in there somewhere...

Help needed with printer settings for wired ethernet connection

I'm hoping someone can help me with a network printing issue. I have a large format color laser printer (Tektronix Phaser) and since moving to OS 10.6 I can't figure out how to configure the printer so that the system sees it. I have a simple wired ethernet network with a couple of Macs and a couple of printers. All devices are connected via a switch. When using earlier OSs I was able to connect to the Phaser using Ethertalk. Obviously this is no longer supported and I can't figure out how to set the printer so the OS can see it. I have lots of options which can be turned on or off and in some cases set up in other ways: Ethertalk, IPX, Netware, TCP/IP, DNS, LPR, HTTP and remote internet printing, I've tried messing with these but the result is always the same--system doesn't see the printer. Currently Ethertalk is on, IPX and Netware are off, TCP/IP is on, DNS and LPR are on, as are AppSocket, HTTP, FTP and remote internet printing. I can change the IP address but no matter what address I've tried I cannot ping the printer. (I'm using a Gutenprint driver for this printer.)
I don't really know enough about all this to get anywhere and I haven't been able to find help anywhere even from tech friends. Xerox won't help me and neither will Apple. Any help would be appreciated. I can supply more detail on specifics where necessary. Thanks, Bob

Old Phaser models may becoming more and more difficult to use, but you can give this a try.
1. Configure the printer via front panel to use TCP/IP and enable DHCP if it's supported. If not then you will need to configure an IP address for the printer together with your local network's mask, and gateway IP address. Except for the first the others will be provided by opening Network preferences to see what those settings are. The printer's IP address needs to be set somewhere within the range of IP addresses your router provides locally.
2. You need the PPD file required for your printer. If you have the Phaser driver installer you can use it to install the PPD or you can extract the specific PPD from the installer package. This part is tricky because I don't know where you may find the driver now if you don't have the installer. The older installers can be accessed through the Finder by selecting the package then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. You can then rummage through the package to search for the PPD for your printer. Then navigate to the /Library/Printers/PPD/Contents/Resources/ folder and drop the PPD file inside.
3. Open Print & Fax preferences and click on Add [+] to add a new printer. Click on the IP icon in the toolbar. Select Line Printer Daemon - LPD from the Protocol drop down menu. Input the IP address you assigned the printer in the Address field. You can file in the optional fields that follow. Then from the Print Using drop down menu locate the listing for your printer and select it.

Using a wired shared printer over bluetooth

With MSI 6967, the user manual says that you can only print directly to bluetooth-enabled printers. This must be untrue? Surely it would be relatively easy to construct simple SW that could send print jobs over bluetooth 'Network Access' to the other pc's local shared (and wired) printer?
I have seen utilities that do this on Mac, and I have seen something for pc altho it prints a watermark over everything until you buy it (I think it was £20, which seems a lot).
I'm only after something simple and freeware/open source. Any ideas?
If there is nothing I may build something myself, if there is enough interest.

I seem to have managed this with my desktop PC running XP Home with an Epson parallel printer and a laptop also running XP Home. I can't claim to understand exactly how I did it but would be more than willing to share any network setting information with you.
Basically I set the printer to be 'shared' under printer properties and both PCs to belong to the same workgroup (MSHOME is the default name).
After experimenting with all sorts of Bluetooth settings to no avail I eventually decided to explore My Network Places, View workgroup computers. Much to my amazement I could see the other PC with the attached printer and could make it the default printer for the laptop!! Needless to say I had to connect the laptop to desktop for network aceess (right-clicking the icon in systray)
The only drawbacks are that 1) it doesn't start printing straight away - maybe 20 second delay and 2) the print monitor doesn't update (it won't tell me how much ink is left etc)
I was pretty sure it should be possible but took me many attempts before I succeeded.
You need to keep an eye on your firewall settings as I found this was blocking some of the attempts to print over the network.
Hope this helps or at least gives some encouragement

Hello,
My Grandad got his new printer today, I went to help him set it up we followed all the instructions the printer works because it prints over wifi from my Iphone but when we try to use the printer on his computer it doesn't print, I have installed all the software and uninstalled any software that could conflict with it but it is not working, it doesn't print over wifi or wired with the computer but does when I use my phone.
Printer : Hp Officejet 4360
Computer : Emachines running windows vista 32-bit
Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Sometimes you do have to restart everything again, including the Router - even after you have installed the Full Feature Software.
If that does not work (restarting the Router), you might try this:
Remove the Printer software from Control Panel > set icon view > Programs and Features > Right-Click on the program > Uninstall
Shut down the computer
Shut down / Switch off the printer
Switch off the Router
Wait around for 2 minutes...
Switch on the router and wiat for it to boot completely - say, 1 minute.
Boot the computer and log in
Switch on the printer
Install the Full Feature Software for the printer following the instructions:

C7280 AIO won't print over network. Was working on WiFi, still works on USB.

My AIO quit printing over the network after 2 years of service. The USB port still prints OK. My Linksys utility still sees the printer, and I even get ink levels back, but print jobs are hung up in the queue with status 'Error - Printing'. I tried a wired ethernet connection and got the same result, so it's not a wireless problem, but rather networking in general. The network report indicates everything is normal, but I still can't print. I re-installed the driver but that didn't work.
I am running Vista, and the printer had been working fine till two weeks ago. My wife would use the USB port to print, and she said she got updates for the printer. HP doesn't distribute f/w updates for the printers themselves, does it? It's as if the networking f/w in the printer got hammered.

No joy.
I'm connected with Ethernet port. I have disabled the firewall. The IP address matches on the printer's network status report, and on the Printer dialog box on the computer. I can see that the printer is connected when I run a Linksys utility. I can get the ink levels and I can print an alignment page.
But I can't print a document. About 60 seconds after I initiate the print job, the status changes from 'Printing' to Error - Printing'.
I clearly have connectivity, but something is preventing me from sending a document. Any ideas to try, or tests to run?
I think the same behavior occurs in wireless mode, but I think I have a better chance with a wired connection right now. As I said, USB works OK.
Thanks,

Add Device sees wireless but printer is wired and can reach the HTTP page on wire

I installed my new Officejet 8000 Pro A809 with an ethernet but when I run the HP "Add Device" Wizard, it trys to install it as wireless even though I select wired and the install fails.
I can see the http page for the printer and it shows all sane information about my printer so I believe the ethernet is actually working.
I am running WinXP with the FW off. The printer is on the same switch as my PC & of course I can see the http page
In the wizard, although I selected "Wired" of course the wire is working, the "Found Network Printers" page shows that its connection is wireless. None-the-less I click next and a screen comes up for "Starting Network Services" & it rolls though topology, wireless strength, etc. and to sending an SLP request to the IP then it fails & shows an picture of a wireless signal and a big red X.
The HP Home Network Diagnostics Utility says that software to connect to printer over network is missing BUT I ran the Wizard all the way though a second time, I selected that my device was not online and it finished OK. I ran the UPDATE from the Utility & it did a security update; I rand it again and it did not find any.
Although my FW is off, I checked the ports that the FW Guide says are needed:
I can telenet to the printer on ports 9100 & 92200
I cannot telnet on ports 137,139 or 427
Ideas?
Thanks!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK, plugging the Ethernet cable into the printer should turn off the printer's wireless radio, but in case it did not, click the button near the blue light (or go to Setup > Network > Turn off wireless radio on the front panel).
Now, don't bother with the Add Device wizard, let's just add it manually:
Verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address. If you cannot, disable your security system's firewall (not Windows firewall, it is usually not in the way).
1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
11. Click "Next"
12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

Want to bridge two wired ethernet connections

I have a Core Duo based Mini that was just replaced with a new aluminum MacBook. I am going to re-purpose the mini as a media center device. I already have a TiVo HD unit hooked up to the same TV. The TiVo is hooked up through a wired ethernet connection, to better support streaming and the transfer large video files. Due to the visibility of the location, I would prefer not to place a hub there, and I would prefer to avoid having an extra power cord around for a hub.
I'm considering getting a USB ethernet device. Then I can connect the TiVo box to the internal ethernet port (en0) and connect the usb ethernet port (en1?) to the remainder of the network. I would then bridge the connections. Note that routing is probably not sufficient, because the other TiVo units would not detect the one on the different network. I need a bridge, which would allow all the TiVo units, including the one behind the Mini, to be on the same network and discover each other via broadcasts.
This is normally a fairly trivial thing to set up within a unix environment. I can find tons on information on how to do it in Linux. But I cannot find any info on doing this within Mac OS X.
Also, where can I find information on USB ethernet devices supported within OS X?

GdayBruce,
Even though you don't mention it, I am assuming that somewhere in this gordian mix you have a router. Beyond that, I cannot fathom what it is you are trying to do here. You may be making things way more complicated than they need be.
I think I get that you want to connect the Mini to the network (what network, though, and created by what device??? How many "networks" are there, and what are their purposes?), then connect the one and only TiVo unit you mention to the Mini, using the Mini as a "bridge."
OK, let's just start this whole thing over. You need a router. Full Stop. One router. Full Stop. That router will be connected, no doubt, to some type of modem (cable or DSL) of course, and everything else will connect to it, either wirelessly or via ethernet. One router, one network.
Now, one way to avoid having to route cables all over the place in order to connect devices via ethernet is to create a wireless network and use additional wireless devices as "bridges." THese devices would be configured to connect to the wireless network, then provide a wired ethernet connection to that wireless network. In other words, they "bridge" the two. Older Airport Express units could bridge ethernet to wireless, but no the other way around. I'm not sure if the current AEs can bridge wireless to ethernet (they might, but I'm not sure).

Wired Ethernet Deskjet Pro 8500 failed after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Following an upgrade to Windows 8.1 my ethernet wired Deskjet Pro 8500 A909g disappeared from my installed printers. This printer/scanner had worked successfully on this computer under Windows 8.
I have tried several suggestions including uninstalling all HP software and starting over with a fresh install. I can see the printer on my network by using a browser and going to the printers web address. I have downloaded HP's Print and Scan Doctor and can see the printer on the scan conducted.
When I download the latest HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Drivers, Version14.8.0, and run it, the setup cannot see my printer on the network. When I select the choice of a wired network setup, the software searches for a device then returns to selection screen. If I select a wired ethernet setup again the same cycle repeats.
I have gone through HP Solutions for Install Errors (Windows 8) Troubleshooting wizard without finding a solution. Once, during my efforts I successfully installed this printer using an USB cable, but this is not the solution I desire.
This printer is successfully installed on a second Windows 7 computer on the same wired ethernet Workgroup.
Are there any solutions available?

I have patiently waited a week for any suggestions but have heard nothing. I have searched the forums and support sites without finding a working solution. I have purchased and successfully used many HP products both at home and in business for many years. This incident is discouraging and does not speak well for HP product service. Is anyone listening?
