Network printing with an HP LaserJet 4 on a D-Link DP-301P+ Server

I have been trying in vain to connect my MacBook to my HP LaserJet4 printer using a D-link DP-301P+ print server. I have OSX 10.4.6 and have tried both the default browser and IP address options. The system finds the D-Link server, but when I load the Gimp driver for the printer, the print test page is grayed out and when I try to print a page, the page is sent to the que but the job immediately stops without generating output. There is no error message, just the stop octogon over the printer and the print job. I have been able to use the printer over the network with a PC. Any advice?

LPD requires the device queue name/port name - try P1, or the port name which I think is listed on the label of the print server (looks something like PS-12345-P1). I see no evidence that IPP (=Internet Printing Protocol, not IP printing) is supported by this print server.
The default IP address for the print server is 192.168.0.10. Have you set it to be in the same subnet as your router and computer(s)? same subnet means only the last part of the IP is different - 192.168.1.xxx.

  • Networking printer with HP Laserjet and Linksys wired print server

    I have an older Laserjet 4 Plus that is networked via a Linksys 3-port wired print server.
    My Windows-based PCs print to it fine but I can't print with my iMac. It gets there but gets an error at the printer and never prints.
    I'm new to the Mac world as of 6/16 so am still learning.
    Thanks for the help.

    Paul, I am amazed you were ever able to print via the Linksys wireless server on your mac. I have the identical router and print server, and only the Windows PC's on my wireless network have been able to share the printer on that wireless server. I've been unable to find a driver for my iMac, and could never get the iMac to find the server. Finally gave up and bought an HP 2600n color laser and connected it directly to the iMac via USB. You're right about lack of help from Linksys. There is an Apple folder under "unsupported" on the print server installation CD, but there's nothing helpful in there.

  • Unable to print with HP Color LaserJet 2605dn since Upgrading to Mavericks

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I've had nothing but problems printing to my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.
    I'm having this problem on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
    I get errors like:
    "unable to write pirnt data broken pipe"
    "unable to send data to printer"
    "printer not connected"
    I've been reading responses to others with similiar issues and I've tried
    deleting and re-adding my printer.
    reseting my printing system
    Installing Guenprint.
    re-adding my pirnter with a generic PCL driver.
    None seem to correct the problem.
    This problem happens both when connected directoy with USB and when connected through the network.
    I have no problem printing with my work (Wondows) laptop.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, a brody.
    Yesterday (before I read your response), I downloaded the latest firmware (20140413.) (What do they say about great minds?)
    I thought the issue may have been resolved.
    I was finally able to print my bank statement on both the iMac and MacBook.
    Today, I'm back to the the same issues.
    Very frustrating, even though I've had the printer for five years, I've printed less than 20,000 pages.
    In my mind, it's pointing more and more towards a hardware issue.

  • Unable to network print to HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to Windows PC

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to print on my network to a HP Color LaserJet 2600n that is connected and shared on a Windows PC. I have carefully followed the instruction posted on http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html and I am still unable to print. I made sure the printer name on the remote PC has no spaces. After I enter (on my Mac) my user name and password to access the user account on the remote Windows PC, I get the following error message:
    Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name. Error: 256

    The Windows PC is running the Windows XP Firewall, the Avast Antivirus, and Windows Defender. I have deactivated all these applications and the issue persists.
    I called Apple today (I am still in my 90-day free support since this is a new MacBook Pro). After some basic troubleshooting with a tier one rep, I was transfered to a tier 2 rep who told me after making sure that I was following the right steps to try to add the printer, that since the HP LaserJet 2600n printer is connected to a Windows XP computer, my set-up is not supported by Apple and declined continuing troubleshooting the issue. According to this person Apple will only support network printing when the printer is directly attached to a hub/router.

  • How to configure network printer with Linksys WRT54GL router network

    I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL router and I am planning to build the following home-network around it:
    1. A desktop computer connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
    2. An HP Network Printer (Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP) connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
    3. A notebook connected to router via Wi-Fi.
    I want both computers (desktop and notebook) to be able to share files, and also to share the same network printer.
    a. How do I do this?
    b. Do I need to install the printer drivers in both computers as if the printer was local for each one?
    c. What settings do I need to include in the Linksys router settings (and also the printer settings) to allow all this? I've read on the internet about DHCP configs, IP address, etc. but I hardly understand anything.
    A step-by-step ("for dummies") explanation will be extremely appreciated.

    You will need to install the printer driver on each computer that will be using the printer.  You will need to have a printer driver that is designed to be used on a network.   Many of HP's drivers (but not all of them) can be used for either a USB or a network connection.
    Usually, when you use HP's printer installation software, it will walk you through the printer installation procedure, and install the printer drivers.  This software is normally located on a CD that came with the printer.  Some installation software demands that you setup a USB connection first, then switch to a network connection.  Other installation software might install a network connection directly.  Just follow the HP directions.
    There are no special settings in the router.  Simply wire (using an ethernet cable) your printer to a LAN port on the router, when the installation software (or instructions) tells you to do so.
    Your printer will likely get a different LAN IP address (192.168.1.x )  from time to time.  Some printer drivers can handle this and still work properly.  Other printer drivers get confused, and cannot find your printer when it changes addresses.  If your driver has this problem, then you will need to assign your printer a fixed LAN IP address.  This will force the printer to have the same LAN IP address each time you boot up your network.   If you need to do this, you will need to enter the LAN IP address directly into your printer (Sometimes this is done using the printer's buttons and display panel, and sometimes this is done using HP printer software).  Note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside your DHCP server range (defaults are 192.168.1.100  thru  192.168.1.149 ) , and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.  If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, I would suggest you use 192.168.1.13 , which should be easy to remember by looking at the model number of your printer.   If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, you will also need to enter the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 , and DNS Server 192.168.1.1 , into your printer.   If you use a fixed LAN IP address in the printer, you do not need to change any settings in the router.  The router will automatically find your printer when you turn your printer on.   Even if your printer is using a fixed LAN IP address, your computers can continue to get their address automatically from the router's DHCP server. 

  • Windows 7 and network printing with printers with "built-in" win 7 drivers

    I'm trying to get network printing (i.e. printing to a printer not attached to the
    PC) working.
    This works fine for newer printers that have a specific, new Win-7 64-bit driver
    written for them, but I can't get it to work for any printers (generally older printers) that just
    use a driver that supposedly "comes with" Windows 7.
    The problem is, the Windows 7 "Add a Printer" wizard does not automatically find  the driver
    for these older printers (like the DeskJet 950c or LaserJet 4300n) and so it wants you
    to specify the .inf file for the driver package. This is fine when HP supplies a downloadable
    driver package, but for these older printers, they do not. Instead HP just says "no
    download is needed because the driver is included in the operating system"  and to just
    plug in the printer (via USB or serial cable) and the OS will autodetect it and set up the right
    driver. Unfortunately this plug-and-play solution does not work when you're trying to set up
    a PC to print over the network.
    What can be done? Is there a generic driver package that one can download so as to
    satisfy Windows 7's need for an .inf file?
    Thank you very much,
    -Chris

    When the printer list comes up click on the "Windows Update" box in the lower right.  This will update the list of drivers available and will likely take several minutes.  Once the update has been done the available drivers will show up.

  • Partial page printing with newer HP Laserjets and Xerox printers

    Post Author: lazytrbar
    CA Forum: .NET
    I have been using Cyrstal Reports Developer 9.2 with .NET 2003 for a couple years now with no problems.  We recently installed some new printers.  HP Laserjet 4250 and Xerox Phaser 6300N.  On both of these new printers the crystal report printout comes out as only a partial page.  The area of the report printed is only about 4 inches x 4 inches in the upper left hand corner.  The rest of the page is blank.  It is not a margin setting on the printer.  All other printouts work correctly from web, office products, etc.
    If you force the 4250 to use the older 4100 printer driver the problem goes away but that is not a good long term solution.  What do I need to do to get my Crystal Reports to work on these newer printers???
    I appreciate any advice.

    Had similar issue with my HP Deskjet F4500C All in one printer, here's what I did:
    make sure these packages are installed or install them
    pacman -S cups cups-pdf hplip pyqt3 python2-pyqt
    pacman -S system-config-printer-gnome
    rc.d cups start
    To add device and install hp driver:
    1. Run ‘hp-setup’ as root.
    2. Click ‘Show Advanced Options’ button and check-enable ‘Manual Discovery’.
    3. Enter IP address 192.168.59.63 in the ‘…device ID…’ entry and click ‘Next’ to install driver.
    run system-config-printer as root, to add printer
    # system-config-printer
    click “Add”， Select Device -> Network Printer -> input the IP address of the printer such as “192.168.1.3″, click “Find” -> “Process”
    you should be ok from here, if not some further steps:
    If you encounter the following error:
    File “/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py”, line 1531, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel
    debugprint (host + “: ” + args)
    TypeError: cannot concatenate ‘str’ and ‘list’ objects
    You should comment out the error line at 1531 of newprinter.py, and then continue to add the printer.
    4). Finally, you can run hp-check to see what problems exists for the printer.

  • Network printing with HP 2100 TN

    I've been unable to print to a Hewlett Packard networked Laserjet 2100TN. It is not visible under 10.3.9 or 10.4 (MacBook). I have tried using the IP address but without success. I have tried GIMP drivers as suggested in earlier answers, same result. The printer is connected by ethernet cable to the network; the OS X units are connecting to the network via Airport. Older units, still on OS 9, can access the printer perfectly. The OS X units can access a more modern HP 1320 postscript model in a different office without difficulty. Any clues?

    Since you have downloaded and installed printer drivers from 2006 (pre-Leopard) I recommend that you perform an optional install of the hp printer drivers only off of the leopard install disk.
    Then click on the below link that outlines what to do based on your install and printer setup.

  • Can't print with HP Color LaserJet dn2605

    I haven't been able to print my HP Color LaserJet from Early 2008 Mac Pro using 10.9.4.  I have attempted to print on the network and USB to no avail.  I have deleted the printer, reset all printers and scanners.  Once I delete or reset the printers, I always have to recycle/rebounce the printer so it can be found.  Once found and I select it by the "Use" drop down, there are two(2) HP Color LaserJet 2605 profiles.  I can select either one and sets-up the printer.  Once I attempt to use the printer, the print job goes to the queue and few minutes later the printer starts initiating and sounds like that a paper is getting ready to move and it stops or quits.  I then receive the yellow light a problem occurs, thats all the farther it goes.  I have the latest printer driver update 19.9..  I also have reloaded the OS 3-4 times.  Here is what I receive the print queue when it fails: "Stopped - Unable to write print data: Broken pipe".

    That's sounding like a printer problem, not software.
    But just in case, try deleting the HP folder from /Library/Printers, then Reset the Printing System and add the printer again.
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    If that doesn't work, use a browser and connect to your router, and see if you can identify the printer in "connected devices."
    (a printer that changes IP address whenever there is some change on your local net will give symptoms like that)

  • Printing with my HP Laserjet 1100 in Snow Leopard & hpijs

    I have the DB25 to usb cable connected to the mini-centronix to db25 cable that is attached to my printer.  I have downloaded the hpijs packages from the linux foundation.  I think this should work except, after adding the printer and send a job to it, the printer is paused.  I suspect it has something to do with the protocol - its not a network printer.  What are the steps to add the parallel printer directly attached to my macbook pro?
    thanks in advance for your help.

    Try using the alternative communications software usbtb.  Y:Ou can get it from http://buymelunch.org/printing/usbtb/   THis usually works better with the parallel to USB adapters.

  • Problem to print with HP Color LaserJet CP3525 (PCL 6) on Server

    Hi,
    I have a printer HP Color LaserJet CP3525 in a server, and I installed with the correct drivers for that but the printing output is strange. I'm trying to print in A4 paper, and everything is just printed in 1/4 of the page. The most strange is that the graphics are scaled to the 1/4 of the page while the text is exactly with the same size than the complete page, but all the letter are overlapping each other.
    I also tried to print with a generic configuration and print in all the page but I can't print with color, just the black toner is used, so the quality is really bad.
    Please, help me!

    This sounds like a driver issue. You mention the printer being PCL6. Can you confirm which driver you are using when the 1/4 page prints occur. My guess is that it would be one of the Gutenprint drivers included with SL and this sort of output can occur when the printer driver is not supported by the printer.
    Also, with regards to the Generic, which I assume is the Generic PCL Laser Printer driver included with SL, this by default is set to 300dpi. You can change this print quality setting to 600dpi, which will improve your output, especially the graphics. However this driver only supports black & white printing. So if you want to print in color from the Mac and the printer does not support PostScript, then you should look at installing the pxlmono package.
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o
    Note that you will need the pxlmono, Foomatic and Ghostscript packages to use this driver suite.

  • Network Printing with Snow leopard

    Since installing Snow Leopard I have been unable to select my Officejet J6410 as a wireless network printer. I have followed the advice, selected Print & Fax in System Preferences, selected + and the printer comes up in Bonjour and after a few seconds it then adds HP-Fax and not, as in earlier versions, HPC012D7 Network Printer (HP IP). If I select the HP-Fax version I cannot wireless print. I know the wireless and printer are working because I have yet to install Snow Leopard on all of my computers. How to I get Snow Leopard to recognise and communicate with my printer?

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Go to the Officejet site and do a search for drivers that are compatible with 10.6.

  • HELP!!!  My MacBook & Printing with an HP LaserJet P1006

    I've been trying to print using an HP LaserJet printer, but everytime I go to the print window, there is an exclamation point next to the listed printer which doesn't allow me to print.
    All help I've read about suggests going to the "print center" to fix this. Which is what I would do on my old powerbook and ibook, simply deleting print jobs and starting over.
    However, I can't seem to find the Print Center on my macbook. It's just not there. When I go to Utilities, there's no printer access links there either. Nor does the printer icon show up in my dock as it used to do with my other printer and on my other computers. Am I missing something in my system?
    What's going on? Can anyone suggest a fix?
    Much thanks in advance...

    I had this problem. The computer wasn't recognizing the location of the printer in all MS Office 2004 documents. You need to delete and add the printer.
    To delete and add the printer, follow these steps:
    1. On the Sys Pref menu, click print & Fax.
    2. In the next window, you will see the HP Laserjet P1006 listed in your list of available printers.
    3. Click to select (i.e. highlight the HP P1006) in the Printer list.
    4. Click Delete.
    5. Click Add.
    6. In the Connection Method list, click the connection method that is used by your printer.
    7. In the Printer list, click the printer that you want to add, and then click Add.
    Go back to your Office document and try printing. Hope this helps.

  • Default Network Printer With Roaming Profile

    I have one user, only one out of 50+, whose roaming profile keep changing the default printer upon log in. I have verified that it is her profile, not her computer, as when I log in to a different computer the same issue happens. I have verified her
    roaming profile is uploading the registry key for the default printer correctly so I know that is correct. The problem is with the default printer being a network printer.
    To explain better lets say she has 2 local printers, Local1 and Local2, and 2 networked printers, Network1 and Network2. If she has Local1 set as default, log off and log on, Local1 is still the default. In the same way if Local2 is the default, log off
    and log on, Local2 is still the default. If either Network1 or Network2 are set as default, log off, check the ntuser.dat hive and ensure that the registry key still states that Network1 is the defaulter, log on, and Local1 is now the default. I assume there
    must be something in her profile that is forcing the local printers to default rather than the networks. 
    The local printers not not physical printers but rather virtual such as Adobe PDF Converter or Send to One Note. If I remove all these local printers, set Network1 as default, log out and in, then Network1 is the default rather than no default. So I know
    it isn't the fact that the profile is not connecting to the network. The problem is the user uses those virtual printers so they need to be installed.
    There is only one user that has this problem so I assume it is a setting/registry key that is causing the roaming profile to pick a local printer rather than what is stored as default. 
    We do not use GPP to push printers so I cannot edit a GPO for this users and set her default that way. I need Windows to be able to natively set the printer, without log in scripts or anything of the sort.
    Does anyone have a clue what would cause this? If I can explain better or provide any more information please let me know.

    Hi，
    This problem caused by Registry key problem, you can access to the path below and clear all the subkey of the registry：
    HKEY_USERS\USERS_SID_HERE\Printers\Connections
    HKEY_USERS\USERS_SID_HERE\Printers\Settings key
    Note: to identify the User SID, please follow the steps below:
    Open Registry Editor and navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \ProfileList
    Under the ProfileList key, you will see the SIDs. By selecting each one individually, you can look at the value entry and see what user name is associated with that particular SID.
    After remove all the subkey, restart your computer to check the problem.

  • How to duplex print with HP 200 Laserjet?

    I'm having trouble duplex printing with my new Macbook Pro. Any suggestions? I have reloaded print drivers- Originally I was not able to select double sided printing but now I can, but it does not actually print double sided.

    For cases where there is no hardware duplexer and the manufacturer's driver does not support manual duplexing, you could try HP's two-sided printing PDF workflow.  I have not tried that for quite a while, so I can't guarantee it still works with the latest version of OS X.
