Network Printers go to offline status

Windows 8.1 32bit
shared network printers go to offline status, but are not offline.
when I reboot it resolves the issue

Hi,
Please check if the printer spooler service is running when this issue occurs. I suspect it is corrupted somehow, you can check the event log to see if there is any clue.

Network.manage-offline-status ineffective in FF4.0.1 on OSX 10.6.7

After Firefox automatically updated itself to version 4.0.1, it always starts up in "Work Offline" mode. network.manage-offline-status was set to true on about:config, so I set it to false, and that made no difference. I tried running FF in "safe mode", and that also made no difference.
It's annoying to have to uncheck the "Work Offline" option every time Firefox starts up.

Greetings,
The log suggests there is something wrong with the media browser on the computer.
Download and install the 10.6.7 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
If the issue persists after installing the combo update then reinstall iPhoto:
1.) Remove the following to the trash:
/Applications/iPhoto
/Library/ApplicationSupport/iPhoto
/Library/Receipts/iPhoto -- there may be many iPhoto files here there may be none. If you find any here remove them.
2.) Reinstall iPhoto from the iLife 11 install disk, or from the App store, or from the disks that came with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3415
3.) Run all your software updates after reinstalling.
Cheers.

Go to Offline status after sending print in HP

Hi everybody.I have two HP Laserjet 4100. Both of them after sending print from windows go to offline status and an error message appear (Yellow Error BOX in notification area).Printer screen show Ready message. The light on the printer is green and fixed. I connect printer with LPT cable to PC.I can get test print from printer menus without any error. I test printer on windows XP 32bit and windows 7 64bit. I get driver from HP Support And Driver Download Center. I install any type of driver (XP 32bit/7 64 bit/ Universal PCL5)I try to use Doctor Hp to find problem but this application is not support LPT connections. I do Cold reset and reset maintenanc counter (With holding left arrow of Items and Value keys).I used 3 diffrent and new LPT cable. I confused and tired!Please help me to solve this problem.Thanks

Right now it appears you are having communication issues from the computer to the printer since the printer will print test pages. The first thing you will want to do is use one of the 32bit computers attached with parallel cable to test communication from the port to the printer. With the printer connected to the port and I assume the lpt port is lpt1, go to start and run and type command and hit enter. At the prompt that appears in the black box type cd\windows and hit enter. Now at the C:\windows prompt, type dir >> lpt1 and hit the enter key. Does the printer data light start to flash and does the printer start to print pages. If it does, then communication is fine and you need to remove and reload the printer using the correct driver. If it does not print then you have an issue with the port on the computer, the cable or the port on the printer. Since it happens with two printers I would think that would eliminate the port on the printer. You may want to check the port setting in the BIOS of the computer. Most ports are Standard, ECP and EPP. Best to set the port for Standard when using an old legacy printer. Good Luck.

Problems printing to network printers from Mac OS X 10.6.2

I have three network printers connected to my Mac by IPAddress. When I send any print job except a PDF to any of the printers I get 20 copies of my document. This is true no matter what application I am trying to print from, including printing a test page from the printer settings. I have reset the printing system by [Control] clicking in the Printers list box. I have tried different drivers, including the Generic print driver. All printers HP printers. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Same issue on my WRT610N V2. I am using iMac Intel running 10.6.2. Error -36 prompted when copying files to the USB share disk from the Finder. Working fine when on PC running XP.
Another issue is DDNS can't report the router IP to DynDNS.com although it status that the update is successful and completed. After updated, the router's IP is still different to the IP shown on the DynDNS.com. I need to type the IP manually to the DynDNS.com
Hope the new firmware would fix these problems.
Thanks

HP 6490 running on windows 7. Cannot get printer from offline status. prints ok from laptop.

I have a 6940 printer running on windows 7. Went on vaction and had everything turned off for a week. Turned everything back on and now printer will not come out of offline status. Printer is on home network plugged into a router. Printer will print from my laptop using XP. Everything was fine before.

Thanks for the reply.
When I use Remote Desktop and use the Public IP of the router without the port number (49250), I am able to get into the server. However, when I try to use RDP with the [Public IP]:49250, it will not connect to the 192.168.0.30 workstation.
Right now the router is program to forward port 49250 requests to the 0.30 workstation.
I am going to work on the Inbound/Outbound Firewall settings today and see if this will resolve the issue.

2540 offline status

My newly bought HP Deskjet 2540 fails to print because it is listed as "offline".
I've followed the steps given by HP according to other forums and posts. I have reinstalled the device, downloaded scan doctor etc. I AM able to print a test page, however everything else is impossible because of the status "offline".
I am really becoming desperate, because of the lack of solutions I can find online for this problem.
Help is very appreciated.

ICloud showing offline status

I have enabled the "FFM" in the admin account...
But the thing is.....even though i am logged into the admin account and go to the icloud website and search for my mac....it is giving me offline status (I am
connected to wifi)..
Any insights on that???

I have a printer not being found on our network on one of our Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit systems (system has been in use a while but comes from same base image as working systems). Printer is on, network configurations are correct. Other systems print no problem. One strange behavior on the system was the printer was installed but would show as "Offline" - resetting print spooler would fix issue but within 5 minutes printer would go offline again - I assumed I could uninstall, remove print driver/port, etc and just re-install but upon that attempt I was met with the attached image. Have rebooted/cold started of course, checked for strange power settings on NIC, re-verified configuration on printer in question, test printed from various sources with no problem. I know the problem is with the Windows 7 system but I'm just not sure of...

Offline status yet I can connect

I manage 40 machines across Canada. 10 (including one local to my network) show with a status of 'offline'. Yet I can double-click and take control of the machines. But, with the offline status, I can not copy files to or from my machine to any of the 10 machines.
So, how do I get it to show the proper status? I tried with a Mini running 10.6.3, fully updated OS and ARD, and the one machine I really need to copy documents from still shows offline even though I can control the machine.

I'm seeing this same thing here. I manage multiple locations but I'm only seeing this issue with one new installation. I've tired deleting and re-entering the entry for this system and still reads as OFFLINE but I'm able to connect and control. The 3283 and 5900 ports are open. Any other suggestions? Could it be something with the router/firewall not reporting the status correctly?
thanks in advance,
Rick

Need helping printing to networked printers.

I need help setting up network printers that have a code on them for each individual. There is no place to put a code so the printer will know who is printing what. I have installed 3 printers and they will not print, they just go to a paused mode and when you hit resume in reverts back to pause because it is looking for a code. I have tried it another way but it asks for a user name and password and all we have are codes. The workplace is using a windows based server and the copiers are listed as followed.

I need help to be able to print from my mac. I also have parallels running with xp installed and all the printers are installed on that side and printing fine. Hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In order to provide the user with the ability to input a user code, the respective printer driver would have to provide the facility. If this feature did exist on a previous version of OS X, then you may have to check the vendors web site to see if there is a driver for 10.6.
If you are not sure if the function was supported previously, then go through all the user menus for the driver. The function may be present but located in an unusual location. Or it could require an additional file (aka plugin) that could be missing from the driver installation or not compatible with 10.6.
The other thing to note is that if you have the Mac's printing via a Windows queue, you will have to provide user credentials for SMB print queues. This is typically a Windows user account - not the Mac's account details. If you don't want to create accounts for the Mac users on the Windows server, then you can use LPD rather than SMB to connect to the Windows queues. This does require UNIX Printing Services to be enabled on the server.

Network printers take long time to show in control panel - devices and printers

G'day,
an annoying effect both on Win 8.1 and Win Server 2012 R2: after installing/connecting a network printer for a user, it takes about 10 minutes (sic!) till printer is shown in devices and printers...
Printer is shown and can be used immediately after connect in word/notepad, but properties of printers can only be managed via devices and printers. Work around for setting standard printer: open notepad, click
print and right-click printer.
But we have to choose a special printer profile, which cannot be done else than devices and printers.
Sometimes even previously installed printers do not show for minutes after logon...
Restarting spooler: no effect
Changing drivers: no effect
Printers are Konica C554 series and 4700P series with Konica PCL drivers.
Print server for network printers in Win Server 2012 R2 (VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2)
No other network issues.
Thanks and regards.

Open the printer folder the spooler team built. It's hidden but available and will list just the printers not the devices.
If the print shows up immediately, the spooler has the information. You will be running the shell command to invoke the old UI.

Enumerating into the Devices and printers UI is then the issue.

Is it possible to create a configuration profile that will install multiple network printers and their associated drivers

Is it possible to create a configuration profile that will install multiple network printers and their associated drivers?
I was not able to find profile manager on my employer's installation of 10.6 Server. Is this only a feature of 10.7/10.8 server?

10.6 server does not have profile manager, profile manager is only available in 10/7 and 10.8 server
for 10.6 server you'll need to use wgm and server admin
printer management with 10.6, I recommend you read the relevant server manuals regarding
print server and user management, printer management

Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
-Andrew

Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.

Solution for Network Printers who've lost Appletalk?

Figured out what appears, so far, to be a solution to those having issues with older network printers and the loss of Appletalk in SL.
After trying everything recommended to make my HP 4050n work under SL, and just about to give up and start shopping for a replacement printer (much to my disgust - my 4050n has been a workhorse and is still in perfect working order, even at 10 years old!), I spied the $29 Apple USB Ethernet Adapter I purchased for my MB Air sitting on the corner of my desk.
Well, I had tried everything else to no avail (because my ethernet IP had to remain unchanged from its DHCP settings for my cable modem to work), I figured, what the heck, and moved the printer's cat 5 cable from my e-net hub/switch to the adapter plugged into a USB port. Lo and behold, SUCCESS!!!
The OS recognized it as a separate "USB Ethernet" device, allowing me to set a separate IP Address for the printer than the modem. Following the steps below, some as outlined already by others, I now have my legacy 4050n working and available as a network printer. Yay!
1. Cold Boot your printer to reset to original factory settings (see manual or mfgr.'s website for method).
2. Print out a configuration page using the printer's menu and note the new IP address (apparently, it's often 192.0.0.192).
3. Plug in your printer's cat 5 cable into the adapter and the adapter into an open USB port.
4. In System Preferences > Network, configure the new "USB Ethernet" selection's IP address manually (I used the "DHCP with manual address" setting) - I found that it's best to set it one number down from the printer address, so, in my case, at 192.0.0.191.
5. Go to Print & Fax in System Preferences and click on the "+" button to add a new printer.
6. In the drop down window select IP for the connection type at the top, then a protocol (in my case, I have the HP with a Jetdirect card, so the choice was the HP Jetdirect socket), the enter the printer address from the configuration printout and type an identifying name into the Name box. When I did this, it almost immediately found the correct Printer driver (something that had alluded me in all my previous attempts!) and I was back in business.
Here's the link in the Apple store to the adapter:

Hope this helps!

Hi George,
Does this happen for every Network Printer or specific one?
Did you find any network performance problem during your issue?
Firstly, please check your printer driver, update to the latest version on both client side and Terminal server. If you are using Easy print driver then you can try to disable that and check the result. For that you need to disable the option “Use
Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first” under below path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection
In addition also check there is no any network issue. More information:
1. Printer Redirection
2. Bandwidth Allocation for Terminal Server connections over RDP
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

CM 4.4.7 Online and End Devices 4.2.3c Offline status

Hallo all,
I am running WAE-512-K9 and the Central Manager was upgraded to 4.4.7 and the Some Application Accelerators are running 4.2.3c and they seem to be showing "offline status " but they are still optimizing save for the status being "offline"
What could be the Issue here ?

Hi Erasmus,
Are all accelerators running version 4.2.3c showing offline or just few? If all on same version are showing offline it could incompatibility issue between versions.
You can also go to the application accelerator CLI and execute the command:
show cms info
See what it shows. Check the connectivity between accelerator and CM. If it is fine and nothing has changed (like FW rules in between accelerator and CM) try doing the below and see if that resolves the issue.
cms deregister force.
Once deregistered go to config mode and do "cms enable".
Check the show cms info again.

Kanwal
