New Mac Network - DHCP Won't assign IP to LaserJet 5M Printer...help?!?

I just moved office locations and have a newly configured network. My network consists of 2wire 2700hg DSL modem which has a 1000mbit router connnected directly to it (and hardwire network hub distributing from there). There is also a new Time Capsule plugged directly into the DSL modem.
I've plugged my LaserJet 5M both into the DSL modem and the Time Capsule to get network connection. This printer is supposed to receive an IP through DHCP, but it is now always reading 0.0.0.0. Before I moved, the network assigned it 192.168.0.101.
Why can't the printer receive DHCP with this network? I thought that maybe it's due to not being plugged into the hub, but Time Capsule surely shows and works on the network? I wouldn't think that this would matter.
I did cold reset the printer, but still nothing.

I just resolved the problem, but not in a way I was expecting. While plugged directly into the Time Capsule, I configured the printer through AppleTalk and the printer showed up and worked fine. In the past I had to assign it through the JetDirect card a specific IP address, but for some reason it's showing up without this anymore.
I don't understand it, but I like that I can now print!

    Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox account, no password prompted and account is online and enabled... Thoughts?

    Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored.  Otherwise, try reblooting.

  • I have just installed PE13 on a new Mac. When I try to open photos it crashes. Help!

    I have just installed PE13 on a new Mac. When I try to open photos it crashes. Help please.

    If you haven't already done so, then try closing the Message app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the iPad's home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Message app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    Hi rustyg12,
    Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
    You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
    Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
    Fire up DW. See if it works.

  • New mac mini server won't start up

    Hi I've had the new Mac mini server for 2 day now and it was workinf fine untill I tried to restart it. When I turn it on I just get the apple logo and the gray processing wheel.
    I've have used disc utility to check the disc. But that did nothing.
    It is picking up the startup disc fine.
    Is there anything I can do or will I need to re-install.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Greetings Richard, I ran into a similar situation recently with my mini server. although I believe it to be a problem of my DNS settings getting hosed. I couldn’t log in no matter what log I used-even as the root user.
    I had a back up on the second drive of the mini. I did buy the USB drive when I bought the mini, so I was able to boot off the install disc. Then from the menu I choose the back up partion as the start up drive. After restarting, I was at least able to recover and copy my important files to the back up partition. I have not been able to work out the login issue yet. I’ll probably just do a reinstall on the corrupted drive.
    In any event, it maybe worth it for you to buy the USB drive and boot off of it.
    The verbose mode is for you to be able to login through the command line and trouble shoot from there.
    Also, in safe mode, any files that you may want to change permissions, you may need to change the owner and then change the permissions. This is done with the chown command and then chmod command. You’ll need to use the sudo command so you can become the root user to use the commands and make any changes.
    Hope this will at least help you get further in troubleshooting this issue.

  • Old iMac numbers 08, new Mac Book pro won't let me open numbers without converting to Numbers 09

    I bought a new Mac Book Pro and when moving my Numbers and Pages files to the new computer it will not allow me to open the files until I update them to Numbers 09 first.  On my iMac I was running Numbers 08.  Any suggestions how to tackle this issue? 
    Thanks,

    Hi onnygirl,
    Numbers 3 will not open Numbers '08 documents.
    On your iMac, open and then export your Numbers '08 documents to Excel.
    Transfer the Excel documents to your MacBook and they will open in Numbers 3.
    Numbers is not an Excel clone, so there will be some glitches .
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • After transferring applications and documents to my new mac, the applications won't open?

    I transferred pages, keynote and photoshop from my old white macbook to my new macbook pro through the use of a hardrive. At first the applications came up as question marks on the dock and clicking on them had no response. I then tried transferring them again and when i clicked on them it saying i need to check if it works with this version on OS X and that i may need to reinstall the application. Both computers have all updates downloaded and the newest software and it still doesn't work? My friends have the same macbooks and did the same thing to their new macbook pros and the applications work for them? What do i do?

    All three of the apps that you name have auxiliary files installed when you install the application - is you just copied the application files only, they likely aren't going to work.
    You really should just install the apps anew - redownload Pages and Numbers from the App Store and reinstall Photoshop from your PS disc or disk image. I doubt that the apps will even work if you simply copy the app file from one Mac to another.

  • New Macs with Mavericks won't open Photoshop CS3

    I upgraded my desktop and laptop and am having trouble with my licensed version of CS3.  I spent over an hour with the Adobe Chat line to try to resolve the issues.  My desktop computer (iMac) says: "Licensing for this product has stopped working."  It quits the program after that message, so I cannot deactivate CS3 on that computer.  My laptop says that I need to deactivate the software on the other computer in order to activate it on the laptop.  After an hour on Adobe Chat, it abruptly ended unresolved with: 
    Bopanna N B: Thank you.
    Please wait while I transfer the chat to the appropriate group.
    You are not currently connected to a chat representative.
    The End.
    Can my licensed version be deactivated from all current computers so I can reactivate on my new computer?  I'm in the middle of a project with a deadline and need this program.  My Adobe account shows that I purchased it, so it's legitimate.  I just can't access it now.

    On this page you should be able use the Chat Now button at the bottom of the page and then adobe can reset your activations

    Also, this might fix the error your seeing in case you want to use cs3 on your desktop, because you are allowed to have cs3 installed on two of your own computers.

  • I have a Toshiba external hard drive that i used to back up my Windows 7 HP -- I want to transfer files to my new Mac and it won't accept. Help?

    I have a Toshiba external hard drive that I used to back up my Windows 7 HP -- I am not able to get the files off of it (pictures) onto the Mac. I am NOT a very technical person. IS there a simple easy way to explain and do this -- OR a simple way to just say it is not possible?

    If you connect the external hard drive to your Mac does it show up in the Finder? If so, do the files you are trying to transfer show up? What happens when you try to move them over?
    What kind of Mac are you using and what operating system does it have running on it?
    Let us know, we'll keep helping you.
    Best of luck.

  • HT1338 My brand new Mac Book Pro won't download the new iTunes or 10.7.4 update. I get this message The update "MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0" can't be saved. I am using a Verizon MiFi which is my only internet.

    I would try doing it again (running Software Update), immediately after doing a Restart.  If it still does not work, both of those updates are available as stand-alone installers.
    The latest iTunes (10.6.3) can be downloaded here
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    This is the updater for 10.7.4, assuming the current Mac OS X version is 10.7.3

    If the current Mac OS X Lion version is earlier than 10.7.3, this is the "combo" updater
