Need to print simultaneously via the network/TCP/IP & also print parallel from stand-alone PC

1. HP LaserJet 4200 Q2427A
2. Win7 - 32bit
3. When I print from the Networked PC (which is on same subnet as printer) Prints come out. No problems. Then I need to print from a PC( which is a standalone PC w/ no connection to the corporate LAN, but does have a separate DSL connection to the internet) connected via the parallel cable. Prints fine no problems. When I try to then go back to the networked PC and print, The job takes 10-15 minutes print if at all- which sometimes it does not print at all.
4. The stand-alone PC was replaced with a new windows 7 PC. The previous stand-alone PC was running windows XP. We did not experience any issues when PC was XP. PC was replaced due to Hard drive going bad and age. The windows 7 PC has a PCI parallel card installed for the parallel connection.
Have also tried using a parallel to usb adapter with same results.

That would be Wireless Distribution System (WDS). That is to say Wireless to Wireless. And if I recall correctly that option is not available to you.
Bridge Mode is bridging between ethernet and WiFi.
One way you could maybe do what you want without ethernet over powerline adaptors is to get an Airport Express (more money), attach that to the Pirelli via ethernet. Put the Express into Bridge Mode. Now have the Express provide the WDS server to the Airport Extreme Base Station. Of course you now have 3 WiFi transmiters in your home just so you can print something, but just think of the coverage in your home.
NOTE: If for some reason you decide to try this Express to AEBS WDS system, you can create a roaming network by giving all 3 WiFi systems the same SSID and password. When everyone is using the same SSID and password you can roam around the house and your laptops will automatically switch to the base station with the strongest signal (assuming that is worth something to you).

Macbook will not connect to printer via the network

I have my G5 computer connected to my home network airport extreme with an ethernet cable. I have a new Canon MX 860 (which will work over a network) which is also connected to the airport extreme with an ethernet cable (wired lan connection). The G5 and the Canon work well together; printing and scanning etc.
I have a Macbook that will not connect to the Canon via the network. I have checked and rechecked the setup and am stumped. I get various failure notices:
"The "Canon..." printer could not be found in your list of printers" (altho it is listed)
"Unable to get printer status (forbidden)"
"Status: In use, Default" (altho the printer is ready and not in use)
"Operation could not be completed -client-error-not-possible"
Both computers are setup for printer sharing and the printer list allows the Canon to be shared.
The network works well supporting Macbook and several Tivos.
Any help on what I should try next?
Thanks for any suggestions
John

Hello John,
For starters, you don't need printer sharing enabled. Since the MX860 is connected to the extreme via Ethernet, then the MacBook should be able to connect directly to the MX860 via wireless or wired.
For either type of connection, you need to add the printer via More Printers > Canon IJ Network. You should not connect via the Default browser view, as this will only show the shared printer via the G5 (which you should disable). In fact, based on the errors you are getting, it does sound like you have added the printer by selecting the shared offering.
So I would delete the current printer queue and add again, using the More Printers > Canon IJ Network menu. This window should show the MX860 with its MAC address in brackets. When you select it and press Add, the printer will be created with a name something like 'Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)'.
If the printing still fails with the printed added as above, then please reply.

Syncing via the network, is it possible?

Hey all,
We have a client that would like to be able to sync 9iLite to 8.1.7 via the network. I.e. plug an ethernet cradle directly into the network (no host machine) and sync.
Does anyone know if this can be done? Perhaps if activesync was installed on the server?
Any thoughts, suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
Darren

Hi there,
Yes you can do this with just a TCP/IP connection between the device and server, no need for ActiveSync at all - we're doing a project along these lines, check out www.portsmith.com for Ethernet cradles.

I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I am trying to get connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer.

I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I use for my work and I have had this printer for ever and it is one heck of a work horse! I am trying to get it connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer. I have tried to reconfigure the printer using the JetDirect menu giving it a new IP address but still no luck. If anyone could help me through this issue I would appreciate it.

Second, seeing "connecting" and connection failed is normal. You must click on "Connect As" in the Finder window and then enter the username and password for the admin account on the other computer. That should fix things.
Thanks for responding.
When does clicking on "Connect As" happen in the process above?
After step six? Seven?
After the connection has failed?
Is this the FInder window that shows the icon of the computer you want to copy the file from?
You should see "Connect As" in the Finder near the top right of the window as shown below:

Font management on a Mac Server for use via the network

Can font management be done on a Mac Server through Font Book so that other users can have one place where they can access our organized fonts via the network?

Ok found a sollution, i tried a couple of things, it boils down to this.
login as admin user
1. demote the network user to a local user,
     use workgroup manager for it use export in menu to export user from LDAP
     import to Local directory, reset the password and delete the LDAP user.
2. you chould now be able to localy login to the account, do that.
3. open the terminal and run the following commands (probably need sudo for it and you need to change <username> to the user you want to change)
     chmod -R -N /Users/<username>/
     chown -R <username>:staff /Users/<username>
     chmod -R 700 /Users/<username>
4. check that every thing in you're account is working again as should.
5. promote local user to network user.
use workgroup manager for it use export in menu to export user from Local
     import to LDAP directory, reset the password and delete the Local user.
this did the trick for me, hope it helps.

Changed wireless providers, now Wireless Printer is off the network

I recently switched wirless providers and the printer dropped off the network. I don't see a way through the printer itself to establish a new connection, and I can't connect it to my mackbook air through a USB and have any luck either. I reinstalled the disc and as soon as I select the option for a wireless printer in the setup, an "unexpected error" quits the process and I'm back to square one. How do I get the printer back on my new network? Thanks!

I appreciate the reply and understand needing every bit of information possible to increase the likelihood of a detailed answer. Going through everything I need to provide, however, will take me some time to find all the answers.
Is there just a short and simple way to reconnect a wireless printer to a new network? If it doesn't work, I understand it was a simple attempt and I'll get all the additional information like the kind of network, etc., but don't know all of that right now. It would seem reasonable that HP had a way to reconnect a wireless printer if you got a new network (or switched providers, etc.).
Thanks in advance!

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

How do I get my HP CM1415fmw printer to retain the network login information

A post on this forum suggested there might be a firmware update that would enable the printer to retain the network login information. Will that work, and if so, how would I do it? My current firmware version is 3/2011.

Please follow the instructions here in order and answer all questions in detail.

Go and use my phone and in the top left hand corner it says no service. i have tried restoring the pone, resetting the network settings and also a hard reset as well.

I have an iphone 5s and updated it to the new 7.1 software. A day later I go and use my phone and in the top left hand corner it says no service. i have tried restoring the pone, resetting the network settings and also a hard reset as well. It gains service for a short amount of time but then it loses service. Everyone else on my plan has service and their phones are completely normal but they never did the update... what can i do to fix this problem?

Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

I'm using the latest version of firefox, but unable to print any downloads. I've tried using the print icon on the downloaded form and also control P

I've tried using the print icon on the downloaded form and also control P, but only get a blank page. I've even changed printers, but it didn't help. My print menu looks the same and I do not have trouble printing anything else, only with downloaded files.

If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.
