NetWare Queues and USB Print Servers

Hello good people,
We usually use HP JetDirect en3700 (J7942A) USB print servers when we have
to, which work well.
However, there is severe constraint in the supply chain at the moment.
Do any of you have a suggestion for an alternative USB print server that
supports printing from a queues environment? Willing to look at any brand
or manufacturer.
Thanks.
Andrew

You need to install and configure NDPS (iPrint). The procedure is covered
in the docs and queue-based and NDPS can coexist. You then create a
printer in NDPS, have it service the queue. For output you use ypur
printer, configured as LPR.

Usb print servers?

Hello, I have a question on usb print servers. I got the D-Link DPR-1260 wireless print server but couldn't get it working even after calling tech support and being on with them for several hours. Also, they had me trying to set it up through XP on my intel laptop which I didn't like. I have a G5 tower non intel and an intel laptop. I want to connect to my printers which is a brother HL-5250DN and an epson r300. The Printers are not close to my desktop for space reasons and the only way I can connect to them right now is by placing my laptop next to them and connecting through the usb.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good wireless(preferable) or wired usb 4 port hub that I can get that is very compatible with my macs as well as PC's. I thought the D-Link DPR-1260 was it but was disappointing.
Thanks.

Hp 3915. vista 32 "print queue issue" and i have to clear print queue and redo print.

hp 3915. vista 32 "print queue issue" and i have to clear print queue and redo print. I think it may be a driver issue. Is there a driver for 3915 using Vista. Mine says only 2000 and XP. Thanks.

Hi there ken4863,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

AE and USB Print / Scan / Copy with HP PSC-2410

My Airport Express finds my HP printer immediately upon plugging the printer into the AE USB port. Printing to it from various macs around the house has been wonderful...but...In order to use the HP's other functions, such as scanning and copying, it seems that the printer must be directly connected to a mac in order for these functions to work.
Another poster said that he could not check his ink levels on an Epson printer through an AE USB connection, but could once he directly connected the printer to his Mac.
It seems that the AE will only act as a print server and will not allow for any other features to be shared.
Anyone else find this to be the case? Is there a fix? It is a pain to have to unplug from the AE and plug into the Mac every time I want to scan something.
Thanks!
STEVE

...but...In order to use the HP's other functions, such as scanning and copying, it seems that the printer must be directly connected to a mac in order for these functions to work.
That is true. The USB port on the AirPort Express suppports only printing.
Another poster said that he could not check his ink levels on an Epson printer through an AE USB connection, but could once he directly connected the printer to his Mac.
That is also true. Those utilities depend on a direct USB connection to the printer. See KB 107430, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express: Can't use USB printer utilities while printer sharing.
It seems that the AE will only act as a print server and will not allow for any other features to be shared.
That is exactly correct.

Jobs stay in queue and keep printing until you cancel them--then stops the print spooler...why?

My Printer: HP Photosmart C309a
My Laptop: HP G71 series
Operating System: Windows 7 (64 bit) but runs a lot of stuff on 32 bit
Problem: I print ONE copy of a multiple page document in Adobe Reader 9. I select even pages only (after which I would reinsert the pages and tell it to print odd pages only, to get the other side). The printer makes a sound indicating the job is finished, I remove my pages to collate them, and then the printer continues to print the job again without so much as a keystroke.
Naturally, you find the printer in the devices on the control panel, click "see what's printing" and highlight the job and cancel it.
Then somehow it turns off my print spooler.
I have tried everything suggested on other forums, like
restart the laptop/restart the printer
going to c\windows\system32\spool\printers and deleting whatever is hung up in there (usually a shockwave file).
Going to Services\print spooler \properties and making sure the settings are set to automatic
Uninstall\reinstall latest driver and software
Switching from Adobe Reader 10 to Adobe Reader 9
Use System Restore to try to reset the system to a previous state.
Run Trend Micro to check for viruses and spyware--nothing shows up.
I am positive the pdf doc is NOT the problem, because I can print it on my husband's laptop multiple times over with no problems.
Does anyone have this problem as well? Has anyone found a genuine solution other than manually canceling print jobs in queue and constantly restarting the print spooler?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
I believe your printer is wirelessly connected to your computer, right?!
What's the current printer software version installed in your laptop computer?!
to see: click start>control panel>uninstall a program under Programs then it will tell you the software version like HP Photosmart c309a v13 or v14.
If the software version is v13, click here to download and install the current software.
IF all things still fail, try to use the workaround provided by HP in this link. It says:
Workaround
Your HP printing product can operate sufficiently using an alternate print driver, although there might be some limitations. For instance, some buttons on the product control panel might not function, but the product prints normally from the computer. If the solutions in this document do not solve the issue, download and install an alternate print driver.
Follow these steps to install the HP Deskjet 990C print driver.
NOTE: These steps install the new print driver using the same port that the product already uses. The product functions normally with multiple drivers on the same port.
Find the port that the product already uses.
Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel . The Control Panel opens in a new window.
Click Hardware and Sounds .
Click Printers . The Printers folder opens.
Right-click the product icon ( ), and then click Properties . The Propertieswindow opens.
Click the Ports tab. A window opens with a list of ports. The port for the product has a checkmark or a highlight.
Note the name of the port indicated for the product.
Close the Properties window, and then continue with the next steps.
Click Add a Printer in the menu bar at the top of the Printers window. The Windows Add Printer Wizard opens.
Click Add a local printer .
Select Use an existing Port .
Click the drop-down menu next to Use an existing Port , and then select the port that you noted earlier in these steps.
Click Next .
In the Manufacturer pane, click HP .
In the Printers pane, click HP Deskjet 990c , and then click Next . (IF YOU CANT FIND DESKJET 990C, JUST CLICK WINDOWS UPDATE WITHIN THIS WINDOW. THEN FIND DESKJET 990C and then click next)
Type a name for the new printer in the Printer name box, or keep the default name.
Select Set as the default printer , and then click Next . A window opens with a progress bar as the printer installs. Then a new window opens.
Click Do not share this printer , and then click Next .
If you want to print a test page, click the Print test page button.
Click Finish to complete the driver installation.
Try printing again, but select HP Deskjet 990c from the Print dialog box.
If this solves the issue, follow these steps to use the HP Deskjet 990c print driver whenever you send print jobs to the product.
In the program you are using, select the option to print. The Print dialog box opens.
Click the Name drop-down menu, and then select HP Deskjet 990c .
Change print settings as desired in the Paper size , Quality , and Paper type drop-down menus.
Select the Print range and Copies options as desired.
Click OK . The product prints the file.

HP t510 Thin Client and USB Printer Redirectiion

We have HP t510 thin clients connecting to server side XenCenter and running Windows 7 virtual sessions hosted on the server. We are trying to connect a USB lablewriter printer to one of the thin clients. On the t510 device, XEN Connection General Settings Manager/Local Resources/Local Device Redirection is selected for Printers/Printer Mapping. Also on the t510 device under Peripherals/USB Manager, Protocol/All USB is set to Citrix and Devices has the USB printer selected/checked and set to Redirect.
We have also tried within the assigned Windows session, a registry key has been created under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\GenericUSB\Devices, using both a generic redirect for all usb printers as well as device specific using the VID and PID hardware information of the printer.
When we have booted into the Windows session and have installed the USB drivers/printing software and physically conencted the usb printer, it is not being recognized by Windows at all. Device Manager is not showing any unknown devices or anything.
Has anyone seen this same issue? Is there an easy workaround? Will there need to be a hardware policy written in XENCenter?
Thank you,
Gregory Hall

Bt Infinity hub and USB printing

Hi all.
I have recently got BT Infinity and the new homehub required. I am liking the service though the new hub does not allow me to plug a printer into the USB port on the back.
I know the homehub does not officially support printing, but my previous homehub (version 2) allowed me to plug a printer into the usb port and use 192.168.1.253 as an ip address.
When I plug the same printer into the new infinity hub the homehub page says that nothing is connected to the usb port. If I plug a flash drive into the port it is recognised straight away.
When I plugged my printer into the usb port of the old version 2 homehub the hub page recognised the printer was plugged into the usb port and even gave the name and model of the printer.
Has anything changed that for the infinity hub that would make adding a usb printer impossible? Does anyone else with infinity have a usb printer plugged into the back of their hub? If so how did you get it to work?
Any help/info on this matter would be grately appreciated.

Having the same issue.
What a shame I have to leave my old wireless router plugged in just so that I can use the shared printer.
Is there a reason this is disabled?

DSL-2750B and USB Printer Support

I just got a DSL-2750B modem/router. In the specs on this page it says it supports a USB Printer:
https://teleproducts.verizon.com/fileshare/plm/brochure/DL2750BVOL_brochure.pdf
On the D-Link Site the manual for this router shows screens to configure it. but those screens don't match the screens I get when I log in to the router. The ones on the router are all branded with Verizon.
If I open the Verizondrive icon showing up in my network I see a folder for Drives and one for Printers. I have tested a USB drive in the USB port on the router, but can't configre a USB printer.
I have talked/chatted with the DSL support folks and they can't help. They told me I had to go to premium support and pay for the call. That doesn't seem right that I have to pay for information on how to configure a device you sold me for a feature that your web site says the device has.
Please tell me how to configure a usb printer for this DSL-2750B

I have spent a couple of hours looking for the same information without success. I agree: this seems to me to be basic iinstruction, and Verizon support should provide it without charge .Is anyone at Verizon support listening? Thanks in advance for your help.

Compatible Wireless and USB Printer Lists using AirPort Extreme

Long night researching this issue. I bought a new AirPort Extreme (802.11n) yesterday and I LOVE IT. Very fast and no lag whatsoever. Then I tried to setup our printer via the USB port and BAM - issues.
Here is a short summary of what I learned (thanks to all the guys who posted a lot of this info on separate posts)
- Unfortunately not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. - The AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
Go to iFelix for a "short" list of compatible and incompatible printers:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/index.html
Please note, there is a workaround for "some" printers - trial and error is the only way to see if your printer will work:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html
I believe most retail printers that use Postscript, PCL3, PCL4, PCL5 and PCL6 interfaces should work.
I learned the hard way that printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to the computer directly and will not work via the AirPort Extreme USB port.
Here is a list from IBM support of HP printers and which interface they use:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1ba0863cfa6463903862569c10078c9 03
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Remember that when you attach a USB printer to the AirPort, the AirPort will perform the function of a Print Server. As you can imagine, if the server cannot locate the printer (for whatever reason), it will treat it as unavailable and not attempt to share it out.
However, like you expect, you wouldn't have to restart a dedicated print server, and thus, you shouldn't have to do the same with the AirPort. Of course, anything is possible.
I would suggest a couple of things to see if they would help: 1) Even though you have a single printer attached, I would suggest in investing in a powered USB hub. Plug the hub into the USB port first, and then, the printer into the hub. You can then power cycle the printer as required. 2) Completely remove the printer and associated printer drivers that were installed and reinstall it.

How to Network a G5, G4, internet, and USB Printer

I am waiting on a new G5 to arrive and want to be ready to connect it to my home office when it does.
I need to connect it with my current G4 466Mhz so they both share my cable internet connection and a USB printer (Canon pixma mp500). What is the best way of doing this?
Do I need to buy a router to connect the computers and a USB switch to share the printer? A guy at the computer store told me that the printer should be accessable by both computers if they are networked and I don't need a USB switch.

Hello Aaron_8, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!

Bt homehub and USB printer

I have been trying to use the USB port on the BT wireless hub to connect a printer (Epsom Picturemate).
No luck . Seems to be plenty on the web about PC fix for this, but nothing for Macs.
Any help gratefully received.
Gidon

For network-capable print driver, get the latest version of Gutenprint:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
As for the BT hub, I haven't been able to find a user manual on the web. If you know of one, can you give me the link?
Most print servers use standard comm protocols, so my thought is if we can figure out what is supported, we can make it work.

WDS with Win 7, 10.6 and USB printer

I've tried many times to get this to work.
Here's the setup I want to happen:
Westell 7500 as the DSL router hub.
Apple Airport Extreme working as a WDS.
USB printer plugged into Airport.
Win 7 desktop wired with ethernet to airport.
Win 7 and Apple laptops print to USB printer.
Here is what doesn't work:
Mac wireless computers cannot print.
Win 7 Desktop cannot connect to internet.
Win 7 so far unable to print.
AIrport is b/g, Westell is also b/g. UPNP is enabled in Westell.
Win7 64, 10.4.11, and 10.6.3.
Win 7 has the Airport Utility on it.

i think i figured out a solution. i downloaded the mac osx 10.6.8 combination update and installed it. the devices now work perfectly. i am wondering if there was some corrupt code or something somewhere. i would have liked a precise solution but atleast this will work for whomever finds this post. thank you for your reply.

HH 3 and USB printer

Hi
Has anyone successfully used the USB port on the HH 3.0 to share a USB printer (not wireless) between 2 PC's (with BT Infinity)?
I have seen this post, which implies it can't be done
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11523/kw/home%20hub%203%20usb%20printer/c/346,1887,18...
but we did have it working with the previous set up of BT Broadband and HH 2.0.
Thanks

I managed to get this working, although only for test purposes, so ive never hammered it hard! Have a look at this article, this was the method I used...

EA3500 and usb printer

Hello.
I read this manual Connecting a USB printer through the Cisco VUSB software on a Windows-based computer.
And i have last firmware on device.
But when i run CISCOVUSB, i see empty window and error: server is unavailable.
Firewall if off.
What is wrong?
I have Windows 8.1 and HP M1214

Hi 5exi!
I believe it's not supporting yet Windows 8.1. However, you can select the compatibility that you're going to use.
After downloading the Cisco VUSB on you desktop, right it, choose Compatibility, then select Windows 7 or XP.

Can you have both Wireless and USB printing configured simultaneously on HP Laser mono 1102w

Hi Guys / HP,
Just wondering if you can have the HP Printer mono laser p1102w setup for both USB2 cable hard-wired to notebook and for wireless connections concurrently.
Trying to install printer with both setups via install CD on my HP notebook Pavilion dv6.
Because when installing the printer CD it asks for one or the other i.e. USB or Wireless.
Is there an easy workaround.
Regards
Mike

Hello,
You should be able to connect both, but not Ethernet and wireless at the same time.
