Network Printer Latency issue

Dear All,
i am posting for the first time in this forum, i usually go through other peoples similar issues and see the solution they are provided, but this time i have failed and decided to ask my own question,
i am taking care of a small network in our office, we have about 20 users connected and 5 printers on the network, but lately we have latency issues when printing something from any computer to any printer on the network, it will take 4-15 minutes
untill the document is printed out, weather a page of text or anything smaller,
i have everything connected to a Dlink DGS 1210-48 Gigabit switch, i have tried changing the cable to the printers, i have updated and reinstalled drivers still no luck,
and i have noticed that its not the driver problem because when i ping the printer ips it gives me a consistent <1ms reply and then suddenly there is one destination host unreachable reply then it proceeds with <1ms reply for maybe 1 or 2 minutes then
again destination host unreachable reply,
please if any suggestions i will really appreciate

Hi,
For this problem, its hard to identify where the problem it is, but firstly, it would be better to confirm if it is every client PC had this problem.
Then check Firewall settings if it caused the problem.
If we still couldn't find the reason of this problem, it would be better to use Netowrk Monitor to capture network trace if it is DNS resolution or other unknown reason cause the problem.
Using Network Monitor to capture trace, you can set filter to IP address, then make a trace both Client PC and the computer which connect with printer.

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

HP Laserjet 4250 Network Printer Connection Issues

Hello
We have a HP 4250 Laserjet network printer set up as a shared printer on our Windows Server 2003 32-bit print server.
We are using the latest PCL 5e 32-bit drivers and have now added the PCL 5e 64-bit drivers to accomodate a new Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Laptop. However, although it appears to pull the driver across properly, it fails to communicate and complete the installation with the following error:
"Printer Cannot Connect Operation Failed' error 0000007e
I have apoplied the hotfix addressed which addresses a similar problem but this made no difference. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981070/en-gb
Any ideas what I could try next?
Kind Regards

Smartform -Network printer format Issue

Hi,
I can print fine using my YPCC default printer.
But When i do through network printer FORMAT is getting Disturbed( Values are printing in next line).How can we handle this? Do we need to do some driver program modifications?
Here are the parameters in Driver program
CALL FUNCTION fm_name
      EXPORTING
        archive_index        = toa_dara
        archive_index_tab    = arc_ind_tab
        archive_parameters   = arc_params
        control_parameters   = ls_control_param
        mail_appl_obj        = ls_recipient
        mail_recipient       = ls_recipient
        mail_sender          = ls_sender
        output_options       = ls_composer_param
        user_settings        = space
        wa_itab              = wa_header
      IMPORTING
        document_output_info = document_output_info
        job_output_info      = job_output_info
        job_output_options   = job_output_options
      TABLES
        wa_dep               = item_itab
      EXCEPTIONS
        formatting_error     = 1
        internal_error       = 2
        send_error           = 3
        user_canceled        = 4.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      WRITE: / 'ERROR in passing vars to the smartforms '.
    ENDIF.
    ls_composer_param-tdnewid = space.
    ls_control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

YOu need to modify the smartform not the driver program to print all lines the way you want by changing font size, reducing line length...etc..etc..
It's printing fine on the default PC printer, because, it uses windows printer driver to render the output, where as SAP network printer uses SAP printer driver to generate the printer commands, there's always difference in the output between the two drivers.

Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 network print issue after installing XP SP3

I administer a network of 30+ workstations, and since installing Acrobat 8.1.2 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, I've been experiencing odd behavior from the print function in the reader.
Staff can open a pdf document with no issues, but when they try to print to a network printer, nothing happens. I then in turn open wordpad on their workstation, do a "File, Print", and the print functions properly.
I then can go back to the reader, and the print job will work.
Nothing has changed on my network in regards to previous settings, with the exception of installing reader 8.1.2, and XP SP3.
Any ideas, or potential solutions?

You are not alone. I hope you get some response. We have seen nor heard anything.
See: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/?13@@.59b56569/6
Title: Adobe Reader v8.1.2 Compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3
One ray of hope is that it seems to be getting quicker. I don't know why but I'll take it!
When I go to this Windows XP link,
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsxp/default.mspx
it says I am running SP2 instead of saying I am running SP3, which is what my System Properties says is installed. Just something to think about and perhaps check.
Good luck!

Basic tiger server printing to network printer issues - HELP :)

Hi everyone, Im after some help as im running out of ideas, here is my basic setup: (sorry i have rambled on a bit
current 192.168.0.x network that has ADSL, PC's HP Laserjet 5Si network printer.
Connected to that is my Tiger server with 2 lan ports, one is connected to that network and the other connected to a switch where I run all my macs - the server is a basic file and software update server.
macs connected to the server get a 192.168.2.x address and can access the internet and each other etc - all is happy.
now - I had my personal macbook pro connected directly to the first network to access the printer, works fine and fairly quickly but was unable to access the server (i imagine because the server thinks i was from the big bad internet from the .0.x range
once i connected to the other network served by the mac server i could access all the files fine but printing would not work, so i thought I would have the server access the printer as it has access to both networks and just share it to the local macs.
well when i add it and put in the 192.168.0.71 address it connects and loads the GIMP HP5si driver, but when it tried to print it takes up to 5 mins to show that its finished, but only sometimes does the printer actually fire up, and the times it did it never printed the whole page...
The only thing i can think of is that the server is trying to print to the .0.x address'ed printer but using the .2.x address range, possibly confusing the systems.., im not too familiar with all the firewall/NAT settings ,i think i have everything turned off, but its still not working..
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, im not sure what else to do.
Thank you for your time

This sounds more like a protocol or a driver issue rather than an addressing issue. Which protocol is being used to connect to the printer? You mention the GIMP driver gets loaded, which I read that it's an automatic function rather than you having to manually browse to the driver.
Also, I would look at trying the Gutenprint drivers from Sourceforge rather than the included GIMP-Print.
The other thing would be to check the cups error log on the server. It could give some clues as to why the spool file is taking so long.

Printing issues on network printer (Sharp MX-N700N)

Hi all,
Well my issue is twofold really. Primarily, I need to be able to print to a network printer which is the Sharp MX-M700N. Now it's on a windows network, so I added it to my printer list via it's IP address. So far so good...so now I have the latest driver avaialble from the Sharp consumer website (sharp-usa.com) and what happens is anytime I try to print anything, the job automatically goes on pause. Even if I click resume, it then pauses again immediately.
Now the second part of my issue, is that other people in my office who are also on Macs running 10.5.2 have added this printer via it's IP, but they used an older driver (for version 10.4.x) that was downloaded off of the Sharp service site, accessible only by authorized technicians. Now here's the thing....they can print to it perfectly.
So immediate thought is...use the driver they're using right? Well, when I try to install that driver, it's telling me it can't because a newer version is already installed. I've gone into Macintosh HD > Library > Printers to find the driver to try and delete it, but there's tons of stuff in the Sharp folder there and I'm worried about just randomly deleting files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Reading through your post, you may find that the latest driver you have will work, you just might have to ensure you have the correct protocol selected and queue name entered. If you look at one of the other Mac's that is working, you can select the print in the list, select 'Open Print Queue' and then select the Info icon. This will display the General tab and in the lower section next to URI will be the protocol and queue used; ex lpd://ip_address/print.
If you do have the exact settings in your Mac, and you want to look at removing the driver, then check that an uninstaller is not included with the driver installer. I've seen with the Canon copier drivers, you have the option to Uninstall and this removes all the files located in /Library/Printers/Canon/PS. Hopefully you have something the same for the Sharp.
If not, then copy the contents of the Sharp folder to another location and then delete the original folder contents.

HP deskjet 3520 network print issues

Getting towards the end of my rope. I have an HP deskjet 3520 with wireless print capability from the network and have successfully been able to send jobs to the printer to print for the last 11 months. It can no longer print jobs from the network despite having an IP address and being visible by all machines connected to the network.
Each time I try to send a document to be printed.
I do not have MAC address filtering enabled on the router. I've updated the firmware via USB connection and re-installed the drivers and software to no effect. I've power-cycled the device, restarted the computer(s) that would print via the network to the printer, etc. I've done everything that I know how to get network printing fixed with no success.
I've also run the print doctor 4.5 program which can find the printer on the network, but then gets no response from the device when trying to access it.
Has anyone else had a similar problem with this model? Any ideas as to what can be done to get it to start printing documents that get sent to it form the network? I've been directed to this forum off web searches, but there are a lot of responses with links in them that have ether been relocated to a different web address, or have been deleted.
Any help is greatly apprectiated.
Thank you for your time.

Hey @Tom801,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like assist you today with resolving the network communication issues you're experiencing with your HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer. As I understand, you are able to 'see' the printer through the Print and Scan Doctor and from the other computers on your network. But, you are not able to print to the Deskjet. I have a few troubleshooting suggestions to start with.
Gather the IP Address:
1. Select the Wireless Button on the front panel of your printer.
2. Your IP address should now display, please note down what this is.
Open the EWS Browser:
1. On one of the computers that you would normally use with this printer, open your Internet Browser.
2. In the website address bar at the top of the page type in your IP address (do not include www.)
3. Select enter on your keyboard to search for the printer Embedded Web Server.
Does a website open for your printer?
If the printers website opens than that proves that the printer is in fact still connected and communicating with your wireless network. If the website fails to open than the printer is being blocked from the network.
You noted in your post that you have Mac Filtering disabled, updated the firmware for the printer, and powercycled the printer and computer. Did you ever powercycle the router? If not, can I please have you do that now.
How to Properly Powercycle your Network:
1. First, unplug your routers power cable
2. Power off your printer
3. Power off your computer
4. After 30 seconds to 1 minute plug in your router
5. Turn on your printer
6. Turn on your computer
Once the network connection is re-established on your computer and printer please check your IP address once again on the printer using the steps I provided above.
Can you open the printer website now with the IP Address?
If yes, than it seems like your router had blocked communication to the printer. To avoid this in the future you can:
Open the Router Ports:
- Incoming (UDP) Ports:
137, 138, 161, 427
- Outgoing (TCP) Ports:
137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
Also, you can refer to the steps within Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection for additional configuration options. Focus on Solution two for assigning a static IP.
Please let me know if the steps provided resolve you issue. Good luck!

Formatting issue with network printer

I have a bitmap report with a repeating frame (1/2" X 2") that
prints 3 across and 10 down per page in Reports 10g(9.0.4)
Text inside the frame is size 8 Helvetica. I am getting a huge difference
in formatting when I send it directly to network printer(in Unix) versus
when I do STD Screen in Pdf format and send it to local printer in windows.
Output in network printer is bigger and wider, it almost overflows from the
page, where as its perfectly fine when I display the output in Pdf and send it to
local printer.
Is there a way to fix this problem so the output looks exactly the same whether
you send it to network printer or to pdf?
thanks
arniko

Hi Arniko,
Have a look at : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/bi.904/b13673/pbr_font.htm I think it offers a good starting point to troubleshoot the issues when printing fonts in reports on Unix.
Thanks,
Adina

HP 1200 Network Printing issue

I am a Mac user on a Windows Network. We have an HP 1200 that I have always been able to print to on the network. Our Tech guy upgraded the network this summer and now the HP 1200 doesn't show up when I run Printer Set Up Utility. What do I need to tell the Tech guy to do to get the printer to show up?

My guess is that it is no longer shared out the way it used to be. Since it is not (it has a USB and paralel connection, but no ethernet connection) a true network printer, you'd really need ask him what he changed about the way it was shared out, and then report back if you two can't figure it out from there. It could have been accessible a few different ways, so folks here could only guess what has changed.

Network printer issue - User can't print once logged back in. Windows 7

Hello
I have a bit of a mystery. We have a networked printer which everyone can printer to a part from one user. When you try printing from any application the "print" gets sent then nothing, not even in the print queue.
However in the same office everyone else can print.
I have tried the following.
Made sure the printer is set to default.
Sign in as Admin - I can print
Other users - Can print
Removed the device in the users profile re-added the device user can print.
But when the user logs out and logs back in they can't print.
Restarted print spooler. - No luck.
No errors and printer always showing online.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
Windows 7 machine
Thank you
Adam

1. Have you used the printui.exe tool to remove the print drivers? 2. If you sign the user to other machine can he print there? 3. Have you tried to recreate the user profile on that machine?

Printing issues on network printer (Xerox Phaser 4500DT)

I need to be able to print to a network printer which is a Xerox Phaser 4500DT. It is simply networked from its IP address. I have the latest driver. Every time I try to print anything the job automatically goes on pause. If I click resume, it does print, but this takes time, every time I print. The URL is "pap://*/Phaser%204500DT/LaserWriter".
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I can no longer print multiple jobs to any of my Phaser 4500 machines(N/DT)? If the printer is clear, the job will spool and print.
If more than one job is sent or multiple users print at the same time, the local print queue is changed to 'PAUSE PRINTER' - I have tried printing via Appletalk, Bonjour & IP printing, the same problem occurs.
Why does 10.5.6 not allow you to spool and queue a print job any more? This is VERY frustrating in a busy office with multiple users attempting to print at the same time! - Any advice would be gratefully received!

Issue : Automatic Barcode Printing on network printer .

Hi everybody ,
              I am printing barcode through network printer(zebra) , this is working fine .
             But my requirement is whenever i will print barcode i have to open SAP LPD on network printer , so
             is there any code through which i can directly pass my barcode file to SAP Comm Port and it prints bar automatically .
             It's very ...........................................................
Thanks 'n' Regards ,
Nilesh

Hi Aidan ,
      Thaks for your reply .
      My requirement is :
       " Whenever user scan a UPC no. into SAP System ( or our SAP Prog) should not create any Spool Request for barcode
          printing , it directly pass data to SAP Comport and print label "
          Because there thousands of UPC can be scan so thousands of spool will stored into SAP System , which decrease the
           performance plus extra space will consume by system .
        Is that possbile without creating a Spool data directly send to printer .
Thanks 'n' Regards ,

Network printer to imac g5 issues

I'm trying to network my 'sharp' printer/scanner to the imac over an local IP,.. do I need to have another computer connected & turned on with the printer for this to work? I don't see an ethernet data jack in the back of the printer. Thanks.

Which specific printer (model) do you have?
Unless it is a native network printer you will need to connect it to a computer.

HP LaserJet - network printer problem FIXED

Hi,
I'm aware this may not work for all, but I've sorted my own problems, which I suspect are common to many who still have a really solid HP (or other) network printer that was no longer available since Snow Leopard did away with Apple Talk.
The answer is to do a cold reset on your printer, give it a new IP address, find this IP by printing a configuration page and enter this IP when you go to set up a new printer. In my case, it automatically found the correct drivers. The drivers were never the issue with vanishing printers; it was all about the network IP address. A quick search online and you will find how to do the cold reset and config page. For my 2100TN, it was a case of holding down the cancel button when powering up the printer until the lights flashed for a new IP, and to print, press both buttons.
Hope this helps.

Problem solved.
I upgraded the printer's firmware which resolved the issue.
Thanks anyway! :-)
