Network Printing from Tiger to Mavericks

I have an older printer ... HP 940c ... that works fine and better than my newer printers. I have this printer hooked up to my Mac Mini running Mavericks via USB. This works fine using generic or HP Deskjet driver from that computer.
How do I print to that printer over a network from a Tiger (10.4.11) computer? I tried using LPD, but couldn't seem to get it to work. The location name seemed to work, but not the printer name. I was able to see the Mac Mini on a menu using Windows printing, but I clicked on it and was asked for a username/password and my admin password didn't work.
Got any ideas?
I'm not sure if the printer supports IP printing or not. I c

Greg -- check the printer URL on your Tiger machine in the web interface. My guess is that you will see the device URL contains "printers/Mavericks_queue". That is what is working here and the only way I can get it to work.
C G -- Try adding "printers/" to the queue name when you set up the Tiger printer. A screenshot of my setup is as follows:
As long as you are using a driver on Mavericds that is not identical to the one on Tiger (generic drivers may vary between systems), you will have to set up the Tiger queue as Generic PostScript Printer.
One thing not mentioned earlier in this thread is that printer sharing must be turned on on Mavericks and the printers you want to share must be selected on the Maverics machine.
If this gives you all that you want for your HP DeskJet 940C, fine. If you want more control over the output, I would suggest using either the Gutenprint drivers or the HPIJS drivers for Mac OS X

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.

Can't find network printer from Windows XP and Bonjour

Does anyone else have a problem printing to network printers from Windows XP machines? I have Bonjour for windows installed and had been printing fine from my Windows XP machines, but lately the XP machines can't seem to find the printers. They work fine from all the Macs (Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.4). I'm wondering if some recent Windows XP patch broke the network printers or the way the printing system deals with ports that reference hostname.local or how hostname.local works on Window XP. I suppose it could have been a Norton Internet Security update too.
It seems like the XP machines can no longer find printers when they use printerhostname.local for their printer port name
Bonjour can see the printers when it initially starts up an looks for printers. Bonjour even sets up the printer port as:
PrinterName.local using port 9101 /* for an Airport Extreme attached printer */
The only way I can get the printers to print is to create another port with the actual IP address like:
192.168.1.123 using port 9101
which kind of defeats the purpose of the PrinterName.local naming convention.
This doesn't just happen on Airport Extreme attached printers. It also happens on any printer's host name that is qualified with a .local tag.
The weird thing is that I can ping the printer using the printer.local hostname.
I'm stumped. Any clues?

I am also unable to access my printer through Bonjour after updating XP to Service Pack 3.

Migrating photos from Tiger to Mavericks

I'm attempting to migrate over 4,000 photos from Tiger 10.4.11 on my old G4 to my new iMac with Mavericks 10.9.1. I lose all of my keywords, events, etc. Is there any way to get around this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Does this involve iPhoto in some way?
If so:
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Printing from Tiger to Ubuntu linux machine

Hi,
I have an iMac with Tiger installed on it and a PC with Ubuntu linux installed. My printer (HP photosmart) is connected to the linux machine and prints fine. I have a home network with a Belkin wireless router.
I used to be able to print to the printer from the iMac, through the router when the PC had WinXP installed. When i try it now, i get a Samba connection error.
Is there something i need to change on the Mac to get it to work through linux?
Many thanks.
Joe.

You don't need to mess with samba, or create users, etc. to print to a Linux box. OS X can print right to CUPS. Just replace your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf in Linux with this one below, and browse to the network printer under OS X print utility to add it.
# /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
# Simple CUPS configuration file for a print server
# which serves printers within a private local area network.

Wireless network printing from macbook to windows XP

We have a wireless router (netgear) setup with 3 XP computers. A canon i900d printer is directly connected to the main computer. All computers share the internet and printer perfectly. I have the macbook recognizing the network and sharing the internet. And after two days of reading these forums and making changes I finally got the macbook to recognize the computer on the network that has the printer. I still can't get the macbook to show my true printer model and had to choose one of the ?gimp-print? models.The macbook prints but......
Now the problem is the pages print to about 1/4 scale.
I checked the preferences and they are set to 100%.
I downloaded the driver directly from canons website.
What now???

Well, i have seem to isolated the issue..I can't find the EXACT gutenprint driver for the printer. It's not listed in the driver drop down list..With my printer at home that wirelessly prints fine to my xp computer, i have the exact driver listed and installed. What really drives me crazy, is that this printer is fully supported by leopard if its plugged into the USB port! It detects and prints perfectly..but there just isnt a supported driver to print from the mac over the wireless network to the xp PC.. From my searching, there may be a way to use another 3rd party driver using ghostscript, but all this mac stuff is new to me, so it's a bit beyond my mac skills for now...

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium - wireless home network printing from multiple devices

We have a wireless home network with several desk tops, lap tops and tablets using the network for internet access. There is only one printer in the home, our hp Officejet pro 8600 Premium. Right now everyone who has access to the network can print. We want to prevent printing from specific devices while allowing printing from others. How do I password protect the printer so that only certain devices may print? Or alternatively, remotely prevent devices from printing?

Well this is a little tricky. You have a 'home' network so we assume you want everyone to print went they want. If you are talking about 'guest' that come over and use the printer, the best thing is to get a router with a Guest Network which isolates your home network.
That being said there is no 'password' you can put on the printer , however you can add security.
Start/Devices and Printers/ Right click on your printer and select Printer Properties , select the Security Tab. Now you can set security.

Printing to network printer from OS 9.2 to OS 10.4

I have an HP Deskjet 810c connected to my Mac running OS 10.4 and want to print from my other Mac running OS 9.2. Both Macs have drivers installed.
The computers are networked via a Linksys cabled router.
I tried doing what Apples suggests in their 10.4 help area (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh660.html) but it still doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Ted

The link you gave is for printing from Classic programs on the same Mac. To print from another Mac running OS 9.2:
1) On the server (with printer attached) enable print sharing both in Sharing prefs and in Print & Fax prefs.
2) again on OS X (server), in Printer Setup highlight the Deskjet and click Show Info and find and write down the queue name. Also find the server IP address in Network Prefs and write it down.
3) On the OS 9 computer, find Apple Printer Utility (usually in Apple Extras) and start it. Create an LPR/LPD printer and enter the IP address and queue name where asked for.
4) Important - For printer model, choose an Apple Color LaserWriter xx as the PPD/model. This entire setup assumes a postscript printer. The good news is that OS X expects to receive postscript input and it translates that for the Deskjet.
PS, it is possible that the HP driver you installed on OS9 could work, in which case you don't need to follow the above postscript procedure. Instead, in Chooser on OS 9, select the appletalk driver for your deskjet and if the printer attached to the server shows up, select it (right side of Chooser) and it may then work. I haven't got an older deskjet to try, so I don't know if it'll work.

Can't print from Tiger to a shared printer on Mountain Lion

Hello,
I have a branch office that's running Mountain Lion on one computer and Tiger on the other. How can I print from the Tiger machine to a shared printer on the Mountain Lion computer? I should point out that this isn't a problem when the printer is shared from the Tiger machine, just the other way around.
Thanks,
Patrick

PLEASE HELP:printing to network printer from MacBook to PC

Greetings,
I have a desktop running XP with a HP PSC 1210 attached by USB. Last week I upgraded from an old Windows laptop to a shiny new MacBook. Love it but can't print through the wireless network.
I have:
Followed the ifelix guide and was able to see the printer though the network and add it.
Followed the ifelic guide for troubleshooting and installed the unix tcp/ip printing component of windows. Still no printing.
Installed both the hpisj and esp drivers and added printers on the MacBook selecting each of one of these driver. No printing.
What happens:
The print job becomes active then finishes on the MacBook. It is then sent through the network where it appears as a print job in the queue with the status as 'printing' and then it just sits there and does nothing never going away and doesn't allow other jobs to print after it.
I also tried travelling over 100 kilometers this weekend to the Apple store in Toronto and spoke with a Genius at the Genius bar who, without even trying said that some printers just won't work. When I asked him which printers definitely would work, he had no idea. His only suggestions was to turn print sharing off on the Mac side. Not exactly worth the 3 hours of driving.
So, while I love my MacBook, I have actually lost a much used function that I had on my old crummy laptop; a function that will be dearly missed.
Please, if anyone has any suggestions, I would be greatly appreciative. If I need to provide any more details, let me know.

Network printing from my new windows pc using a HP 710 attached to a networked Vista pc

My setup worked perfectly when I had an xp pc and a vista vc.
The xp pc had a samsung 6060 laser printer connected by a parallel cable and the vista pc had a HP710C also connected by a parallel cable. I also have a laptop running ubuntu linux. The pcs are networked peer to peer and connected to the internet through a wired router. I was able to share files between all three machines, and print on any printer from any pc.
I now have a new pc running windows 7 (64)and one of the many problems I am having is getting the printing to work.
The two pcs can share files ok, I can find and install both printers on both pcs and they both print through the pcs they are attached to. What they won't do is print through the network. though I can select the printers in an application and press print nothing then happens (not even an error message) I am not a pc 'teckie' and don't really understand how it should work, but have tried a variety of things like 'permissions', 'firewalls' and all the automated fault finding fixes, and so on but have struggled trying to understand what kind of driver should go where, or even to identify if this is a network issue or a printer driver issue
I'm tearing my hair out! And I've given up on networking the linux machine, and parked all the issues I am having with user account control, permissions and file ownership.
Can anyone help on the printing front please? Thanks.

One, have the printer shared (it sounds like you've already done that) and under the share name...make sure that it is less than twelve characters and includes no spaces or special characters (underscores are okay). Then, you should have no trouble adding it to your Mac.
On the Mac, go to System Preferences, then go to Print & Fac, then the "+" button, then on the pop-up window, select "More Printers". The top drop-down menu should say "Windows Printing", on the second one, select your Network Neighborhood, then the workgroup your host computer belongs to, then select the name of the computer and the printer shoudl show up. Mac OS X has a multitude of drivers preinstalled for printers, so one it is detected, go to the "Printer Setup" and select your printer model.
Hopefully that helps

Network printing from MacBook (10.5.5) to HP3210 via Powerbook G4 (10.4.11)

The long winded title maybe says it all, but here's the problem.
We have two Macs; an older Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 that has an HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-one printer/scanner hooked up via USB (and previously via Ethernet).
In another room we have MacBook running 10.5.5. This machine has successfully been set up to find the HP printer via Bonjour / network printing. However it has never been possible to send documents to print from within an application (i.e. File > Print within MS Word, for example). Attempting to print causes all applications we've tried to crash immediately on clicking File > Print or the shortcut. We have only ever been able to send documents to print by exporting them as PDFs and then dragging them on to the printer queue.
This is not so much of a huge problem, except that we often need to set Borderless printing etc from within the document, and dragging/dropping files onto the print queue doesn't seem to support these.
No such problems exist on the Powerbook, which prints fine with no crashes.
Could anyone suggest any possible causes? I'm happy to provide more info if needed; wasn't sure if this is enough.
Many thanks in advance
James

I can't tell exactly what's wrong, since you attached only
snoop log.
But since you're using DHCP, I guess you are trying to
do PXE boot to install. When you use PXE boot, you need
to configure some vendor options (like SrootIP4, SrootNM
etc) and also create macros with dhcpmgr.
there is documentation at
http:docs.sun.com
so check the documentation to see what is missing.
If you've already done these, check NFS configuration
if all directory are correctly shared.

Xerox 8560DN pauses when printing from MacBook Pro (Maverick update)

Xerox 8560DN pauses when printing from MacBook Pro using the printer connected to a Windows XP machine. The printer is fully shared, however when I print, it goes to PAUSE. It displays...Ready to print > Printing > and it pauses.
The Maverick update has changed lots of unecessary setups. What was perfectly working before, not it causes problems.
Any solution?

Carolyn Samit,
I did it several times without any success. I think that the Maverick update damaged something.
I also deleted, added and change all settings... Not working. Xerox does not have a Maverick driver available, but today apple released a Xerox printer software update (Version 2.3). After the installation, nothing changed.

LasterJet 1022n network printing from wireless

The institution network configuration is such that there are two types of connections - wireless and wired.
As of now, the printer is connected via wired connection and has its own internet IP address of "142...". All computers that have a wired connection in the building can print to this printer just fine.
We would like to be able to print as well from a wireless connection. The wireless connection IP addresses begin with "132..." and so far can't connect to the printer.
Is there a way to print from a wirelessly connected computer?

What model printer?
What operating system?
What kind of router, encryption and ISP?
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

Printing from tiger to win2k3 print server in AD

Hiya all
I have a win2k3 domain to with a couple of win2k3 print servers, we have mostly win xp boxes but have a Mac population of about 100-140.
I am having problems printing to the print server from a Tiger workstation, it is a full member of the AD domain and will pre-authentiucate me to shares no problem, if add a printer listed under 'open directory' or browse to the print serve then select the server it all goes through fine and the print is then listed.
When you run a print job it comes up with the error:
Unable to connect to samba host, will retry in 60 secs.
Connection failed with error
NTSTATUS_ACCESSDENIED
I am using the Tiger AD client not AdmitMac so it is a all apple install..
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Laurence
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hiya All
Have solved myself, It is a bug in the AD client in that it does pre-authenticate samba shares on AD domain machines but NOT print shares on the same machines..
It has been reported but as to when it will be fixed...
The way round it is manually map them.
Go into print and fax then add a printer.
click the more printers button, change the top drop down to windows printing then change the other drop down to network neighbourhood.
select your AD domain from the list and then scroll down to your print server and click choose.
You will then be prompted for a username and password, enter your domain username and password (no domain prefix needed) and tick the option for the keychain.
Select the appropriate print share and change the make and model to reflect the printer.
click add and thats job done.
The only caveat I will add to this is that when your domain password expires and you change it this obviously will invalidate the connection, this means you must delete the keychain and re-add the printer.
Thanks
Laurence
