Networked Printers on Win XP

I have an HP Photosmart D7360 connected to my Gateway tablet (running WinXP) via USB Cable. I have enabled printer sharing but do not know how to access the printer from my Macbook Pro over the network. How do I access and then print to that printer while it is still connected to the Gateway?

  • 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.

  • Cannot Delete Bonjour Created Printers On Win 7 PC

    I have thoroughly deleted Apple's "Bonjour For Windows" application from my Windows 7 Home Premium PC because it simply would not work. It would not allow me to access or use my Canon MP530 printer which uses a USB connection to our desktop iMac. I tried to delete the "printers" created by Bonjour prior to uninstalling the software. That did not work. Now I cannot delete the printers after the software is thoroughly gone either.
    Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of these Bonjour-created printers from my Devices and Printers container? I suspect they are interfering with my ability to access and use the printer using a strictly Windows 7 configuration / setup (Which is NOT easy to establish. Contrary to Microsoft advertising, working through a network setup like we have is unclear, the printer is not discovered or discoverable, and the network administrator I'm supposed to check with is ME.).
    Other Factors Which May Have A Bearing:
    1. The iMac and Win 7 PC are connected to the Internet and each other via a Siemens Speedstream Gigaset SE567 router. The iMac and PC are connected to the router via ethernet. The router also provides wireless access to a Windows XP laptop and a Macbook Pro.
    2. No, it is not possible to directly connect the printer to the router or PC. It must remain connected to the iMac (family preferences and politics rule here).
    3. Bonjour worked very well for us to enable printing from the PC through the router then the iMac (providing the wife had not turned it off or to sleep) when the PC was running Vista. Bonjour printing under Win 7 beta and RC was flaky and intermittent. I also could not delete Bonjour created printers under Win 7 beta or RC. I could only create new ones to try out different configuration options.
    4. Windows 7 was a clean install. The version of Bonjour attempted with Win 7 is the latest (1.0.6) I could find and freshly downloaded and installed.
    5. Other commentators found on PC forums are now warning that Bonjour is not compatible with Windows 7. This is not too surprising as all of the Bonjour related help available on this Apple site assumes the user is running an Airport router. Which we are not.

    Update: I made many attempts to create a working printer following Microsoft's (and Microsoft supportive blogger's) instructions for adding a printer under Windows 7. I tried to create both various local printers and network printers. While each attempt did create a printer in "Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Devices and Printers" none of them worked. Either the print job would vanish in thin air or I would get an error message of the obscure kind. And every time I followed up on the error message by allowing Microsoft to diagnose and fix the problem I would always end up receiving the direction to consult my administrator. The only good thing that came from these efforts was that these malfunctioning printer setups, unlike the Bonjour-created ones, would delete themselves when I told them too.
    One of the things I did not mention before is that my home PC (HP Media Center [m8120n]) is set up to offer dual booting. If I do nothing for about 40 seconds after I turn it on it boots up as a Windows 7 PC. Or I can choose to have it boot up as a Linux PC running Ubuntu 9.10.
    So guess what happens when I tell the Linux PC it to print a page originally created on the Win 7 side in Microsoft Word but loaded into OpenOffice under Ubuntu? Or a web page loaded into Firefox? It prints! Beautifully and quickly! From the PC, through the router, then the iMac and out the Canon MP530 printer.
    This told me that port UDP 5353 was not being blocked by my internal router and the iMac was not raising any internal security blocks against print jobs coming from the PC under Ubuntu. Examining the settings under Ubuntu I confirmed the printer was identified as "mp530" and it was printing to my network's internal IP address xxx.xxx.254.3:631.
    I decided to boot up as a Windows 7 PC and try Bonjour once again. This time a more thorough investigation of the Windows firewall confirmed that (after re-installation) Bonjour was identified as a recognized application allowed access.
    But none of the printer setups previously created by Bonjour worked. Nor could I delete them. New ones I tried to establish would not allow me to specify they print to internal IP address xxx.xxx.254.3:631. (One created by Bonjour did report it was set to internal IP address xxx.xxx.254.3:631\printers\mp530. But that one would not work either. Trying to eliminate the "\printers\mp530" portion of the setting generated a "you can't do that" error message.)
    I finally gained some success when I decided to try non-Canon drivers offered by Bonjour. HP drivers also would not work. The setting "Generic" and "MS Publisher Color Printer" does. At least for now.
    Does this mean Bonjour successfully works with Windows 7? Not by my standards. More work on both of those needs to be done. Particularly when it appears CUPS works where Bonjour or Windows 7 print services do not.
    Oh, and I'm still stuck with five non-working Bonjour-created printers I cannot delete from my Windows 7 "Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Devices and Printers".

  • "The system cannot find the path specified" error when installing a network printer running Win 7

    Some of the end users are having issues when trying to install network printers. We have created a portal where they can locate the printer they want to connect to, click connect, and the printer will download with the correct drivers on their PC's. The
    entire company is running Win 7 for their operating system. One end user in particular has had issues installing multiple printers from the portal, when I go to test installing these same printers on my PC, they all install successfully. trying to figure out
    why some end users hav issues with installation and others do not. They will get the error, The system cannot find the specified path. Any help would be great

    Hi JeffWilko,
    What is your current situation?
    To receive better analyzation, please provide more details?
    1. Could you explain a bit about the sentence ‘installing multiple printers from the portal’ ?
    2. Check the event viewer and share us the related error log.
    Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Ping the printers
    2. Check if there are network firewall to block the access

  • Network printers taking approximately 15 minutes to appear in Devices and Printers

    Found an issue with network printers. When they are installed either manually or via Group policy preferences, they don't appear in Devices in Printers for around 15 minutes, sometimes longer. However they can be seen within Applications such as Word,
    Excel etc.
    If we reboot the workstation immediately after installing the printer and log back in, the printers are visible.
    The issue doesn't occur with local printers.

    Hi,
    This problem can be caused by Network proxy problem. So, first of all, please check if you had setting any proxy in your computer.
    In addition, If you using any security software, please try to disable them temporarilly for test.
    If no use, try to following method for test.
    1. In Control Panel, goto System [WIN+X -> Y]
    2. Click "Advanced system settings"
    3. Click "Hardware" Tab then "Device Installation Settings" 
    4. Select "No Let me choose what to do" and "Never install driver software from Windows Update"
     (Optional) Uncheck "Automatically get the device app and info provided by your device manufacturer"

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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:

    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.

  • How do I print a document from my win 8.1 computer via my home network thru my win 7 computer?

    I am trying to print a document from my win 8.1 computer via my home network thru my win 7 computer which has the Deskjet 3054A All-in-one printer connected to it.  I can see the printer from my win 8.1 computer and when I send a print command I see the document in the printer que but it does not print.  I have not installed the printer drivers on my win 8.1 computer.  Do I need to do this?

    Hi GeneLund,
    I understand you have a Deskjet 3054A printer and are currently unable to print to it from your Windows 8.1 computer. I will certainly do my best to assist you with this.
    I just need to ask a few questions to start.
    1. Is your printer setup to print wirelessly from your Windows 7 computer?
    2. Are you able to print successfully from the Windows 7 computer?
    You definitely want to install the drivers for your Deskjet onto your Windows 8.1 computer, and you can do so by going to HP's website (just click the blue Next button and then download the option under Driver - Product Installation Software) and downloading the drivers. If you're printer is on the wireless network you should have no issues, if it's not on the network yet though that needs to be done first and it is done through the software.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!

  • RDS & network printers best practices

    We are in the process of designing a multi site remote desktop solution for a customer, they have around 80 users with 5-10 users per site. I've been searching for some recommendations about the best way to deploy their network printers.
    The RDS farm is located in a single site, the other remote sites will not have a local server. Traditionally we've used site-site VPN's and just set the printers up as network printers on a central file/print server. Doing this works but you lose the benefits
    of Easy Print and potentially we may struggle with bandwidth at some sites.
    Is there a better way to do this?  One train of thought is to add the printers locally to the thin clients, then use individual printer redirection so that it utilises Easy Print. This seems to work but from a management point of view it's pretty unfriendly.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Editing Configuration.MOF For Network Printers/Mapped Drives SCCM 2012?

    Question is in Configuration Manager 2007 I would edit the SMS Def MOF file and then run Datashift.vbs on all the clients to add a WMI class for mapped drives for inventory.  So most of my clients that I upgraded to 2012 already have that class added
    to WMI. I just need to figure out what I need to do on the new server and Configuration.MOF (since SMS Def is missing in 2012) to tell it to collect the newly added classes during hardware inventory. I see that you can click on Set Classes in the client settings
    but I don't see where you can check mapped drives or network printers there.

    There is no out-of-box solution to handle this task.
    But try this. This has worked for us really well. We've got 22000 machines inventoried.

  • Windows Networked Printers

    my crappy old works Dell is constantly dieing (sp?) on me!
    i am tired of it so i want to bring my Macbook to work and use that.
    thing is i MUST be able to print to 3 (Xerox, Hp and sharp) printers. all are on a windows server to which the PC can print to any of them. i can gain access to the server with my allocated UN/PW.
    how do i set up and print to these printers?
    IP addresses?
    i cant install more than one driver as tried this before...?

    You should be able to connect to them on your mac by connecting to the network and server at work, then going to *System Preferences*, *Print & Fax*, and then click the + under the box on the left and looking in the Windows tab. The networked printers should be listed there, and you should be able to add them.
