PC not detecting printer connected to iMac

My PC is not detecting the printer I have hooked up to my iMac. I've activated printer sharing, and file sharing on the iMac. In fact, my PC does not even detect my iMac, though my iMac detects the PC. Thanks in advance.

Someone help? PLEASE?

Photo Downloader does not detect Thunderbolt connection. Help!

I am using Bridge CS5.1 on MacBook OSX 10.8.3. I bought a Seagate Thunderbolt Adapter which works with 2.5" eSATA hard drives (Seagate Backup Plus). Instead of connecting a 2.5" eSATA to this Thunderbolt Adapter to my Mac, I am doubling this thunderbolt connection as a CF card reader by swapping the eSATA portable drive with a CF to eSATA Adapter instead. Photo Downloader does not detect anything connected through thunderbolt!?
When the CF card or portable drive is connected via the TB adapter, it appears in Bridge and Finder. The Canon's Image Browser (Memory Card Utility) detects only the CF card (not the portable drive) as a Camera and downloads the images from the CF card via the thunderbolt adapter with no issues. I would prefer Bridge to download the images due how the folder names are created by Bridge. (I have been using Bridge for few years now and dont want to change the naming convention. Can't seem to find a way for Canon to name it exactly the same as Bridge. It does YYYY_MM_DD amd I cant get rid of the underscores in Canon's software)
How can I get Photo Downloader (File: Get Photos from Camera...) on Bridge CS5.1 to detect the Thunderbolt connection as a Camera?
Excuse my messy desk, here's a pic of the set up with the CF card plugged into the CF to eSATA adapter : and onto the Seagate TB Adapter. and the TB cable goes into the Mac

It works perfectly well. My issue is getting Adobe Bridge 5.1 to recognise the CF card via thunderbolt in photo downloader.
Despite having bought a MacPro just a few months ago I still have no Thunderbolt connection so i can't confirm this.
I do know Photodownloader has not changed a bit since it was presented long time ago and definitively needs a lot of improvement.
It is very possible that Photodownloader is not capable detecting thunderbolt connections and Canon software doing so does almost proof APDL does not do so.
You can try to dive in the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go and press option to reveal it) and in the folder preferences find and delete the Photodownloader plist file manual.
restart photodownloader and try again.
The other option is to use a USB 3.0 or Firewire (both also pretty fast).
The third option is to use Bridge itself for renaming the files you imported manual. Using the sort order creation date and batch rename use the option for shot date (yymmdd-number or other info) and either organize with stacks or create folders.
There is also a nice app (not free but cheap called 'big mean folder machine" from the same team that offers 'A better finder rename'.
Both offer plenty of options that makes life easier, such as producing folders with specific naming and order in no time

Printer connected to airport extreme very slow to print but when printer connected to iMac it is very quick to print

Early version of Airport Extreme station, 802.11g, saucer shaped model. iMac wirelessly connected to internet via space station and modem and Canon MX700 printer connected directly to Airport space station and also printing wirelessly. When try to print wirelessly, it takes about 1' 10" before printing starts. When the printer is connected directly to the computer, printing starts almost instantaneously. Because of internet disconnect which occurred occasionaly, reset the Airport station and so far no internet disconnect problem but the printer is slow to start printing. Printer software current but now have the slow printing problem. I think I have set up the printer properly but do not know why it takes so long to start printing but so quickly when the printer is connected directly to the computer.

I know my post may be late, anyway I hope I can help.
The one main reason I can think of that ethernet is preferable to USB is who wants to run 20 or more feet of USB to network a printer. The cost of the USB cable would make it cost prohibitive. The Airport or generally any router/hub is not always nearby the network output devices. However small office/home setups where the devices and router are within a small area, reachable by USB, then your point is valid.
In any case, don't expect any help from AppleCare to assist you with the settings on the Airport side, Apple doesn't support connecting printers via ethernet . . . pretty lame response. I am really disappointed with the response and very shortsighted.
On the printer side, you need to set a static IP for the printer . . . one within your internal LAN IP numbers.
Before proceeding you will need the MAC address or Machine Address or Ethernet Address, it should look be a series of that will look like 12:32:00:00:21:02. If you print out your printer config page you should be able to find it.
From the Airport app, choose the Internet tab(icon) on the top of the window, then choose DHCP then hit the + key under the DHCP Reservations window. This will open up a series of windows, provide a description of the device, reserve by Mac Address>click continue> type in the Mac Address in the window, and then the IP address that will be static or reserved for only the printer.>Click Done.>Click Update> Router will reboot.
You will need to go to Printer Setup to make sure you have a printer looking for that IP address, and will need to do this on each workstation.
My experience with other brand routers are that they don't require the Mac Address, which caused the delay in figuring this out on my own, (a few hours) but it is working now . . . WHEW!

IPod 4th gen grayscale will not detect usb connection.

Hello everyone, I have a iPod 4th gen grayscale and I'm running Ubuntu, everything has worked well for about a year now, I have been syncing my iPod through VirtualBox with Windows XP for as long as I have been using Linux, though, for some reason, my iPod has stopped noticing my usb being connected, I know it's not the usb cable, or the usb ports, I have restarted my iPod and put it into disk mode, still no luck, restarted my computer, Linux will not detect anything plugged in, nor will Windows, though my iPod shows the battery charging when plugged in, but iTunes will not detect the iPod.
I have switched the hard drive of the iPod out seeing if that was the problem, still no luck, my car dock will pick up the iPod and play music, so will my other docks, I thought it might of been Linux at first, so I plugged it into my desktop with Vista, it also will not detect it.
Does anyone have an answer to this riddle?

A bad USB hub will cause the problem ... are you using it ??

Can not print from my pc using time capsule's printer, but the mac in the office will. PC sees the network just not the printer connected to the capsule.

I can't get my pc to see the printer connected to the time capsule, it sees and connect to the network but will not see the printer. The mac in the office see both the network and the printer connected to the capsule.

Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

T420 - external 24" monitor DVI- Displayport : not detected when connected via KVM switch

Hi,
I've been using a 2port USB KVM Switch from InLine for a long time connecting a mac mini and a macbook pro
to a 24" LCD. Recently I had to replace the MacBookPro with a T420. Unfortunately the T420 does not detect the
monitor, when connected via the KVM switch.
I tried:
A) T420 -> Lenovo Displayport to DVI-Adapter -> KVM-Switch -> 24" monitor: NO SUCCESS
B) T420 -> Thinkpad miniDock Series 3 DVI Port-> KVM Seitch -> 24" monitor : NO SUCCESS
C) T420 ->Thinkpad miniDock Series 3 DVI Port-> 24" monitor - > SUCCESS
D) T420 ->Thinkpad miniDock Series 3 VGA Port -> 24" monitor - > SUCCESS
So I have a workaround, but leaving out the KVM switch is not a long term option.
This is all on Win 7 professional / 64bit
Using config (A) I then installed the Intel HD Graphics Driver version 8.15.10.2342 16 May 2011
SURPRISE: during driver install, the monitor WAS detected!!!
SECOND SURPRISE: after reboot I was back in the old situation where the monitor was NOT DETECTED
CONCLUSION:
Seems like a software issue with the Intel HD Graphice driver.
ANY HINT/COMMENT/HELP highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Michael

hey mgold,
as the T420 works correctly with the external monitor and with the miniDock ; it is sad to say the the KVM switch is non-compatible.
I would recommend that you get in contact with the manufacturer of the KVM. At the same time, try uninstalling the current video drivers of your T420 and see if it makes any difference with the KVM if the T420 is running on a generic driver

Easylink does not detect internet connection

Please help. I have a wireless G broadband router model wrt54g. I've had it for about a year in a half and used it maybe twice. I just ran the setup and got an error saying easylink does not detect your internet connection. I went on line to make sure I was connected and followed the steps to resolve this issue. I got a message saying congratulations your router was configured succesfully but you are not yet connected to the internet. I went online to try and get help with this issue and downloaded firmware. My comptuer won't even allow me to run the download, it just does nothing when I click on it. Could someone please advise me as to how to get this router to detect my internet connection. Thanks

Printing from Vista to printer connected to iMac

Wireless network (2Wire router) setup with Vista PC, NEW GREAT iMac intel pc (OS X 10.4, and Windows XP Pro pc. Epson Stylus CX3200 connected to iMac. Can print from iMac, print from XP laptop via network (after using Bonjour), but can't get very far with Vista laptop. Understand no Bonjour for Vista.
Does anyone know how to resolve this dilemma....I am new to Mac, so be kind. Much thanks in advance.

I just learned that Mac's printer is shown to network as a *PostScript printer* regardless of its type. The guide http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html (for Windows XP) tells how you have to define your printer's name. But you must select a driver for a Apple printer (b/w of color matching yours), don't use the printer's native driver (unless it is a PS printer).
There is no Apple drivers available in my Vista Premium. But fortunately PostScript is well standardized and you can select from any of PS-drivers. i took +HP Color LaserJet 4700 PS+ and now my +Epson Stylus Photo 870+ works fine!

C4580 Does Not Detect Printer Cartridge

My C4580 is flashing an error message on the LCD screen that says "Print Cartridge missing or not detected." I printed several pages within the hour before this message appeared. Both cartridges are there and printed the earlier pages with no issue. Any ideas what's causing this? I did take out both cartridges and re-inserted, no change in error message.

Welcome back to the HP Community, @Bacalhau
I read your post about your Photosmart D5360 not detecting an ink cartridge, and I am responding with my suggestions for you.
I would first recommend troubleshooting the issue by following all of the steps found in this guide:

If the message continues, your next step of action would be to contact HP's Technical Support to discuss printer replacement options with you.

SB Live Value!(Ct4780) not detected when connected--WinXP Pro--Dell Dimension XPS T8

heya, i recently went down to the US Virgin Island to work on my cousins charter yacht as first mate(from Jan '05 - Aug '05). Anyways getting back on topic, I come home to my desktop PC the way I left it with the case always off because i lost many of the screws for the PCI slots and i would frequently need to reseat the cards; and because i frequently would mess around with an ultra66controller trying to get it to work. now when i got back i booted up my pc and did a quick checkup(devmgmt.msc, msinfo32, services.msc, etc) and for some reason my sound card is not detected. sound & audio devices in the control panel listed no audio device. There is no listing of anything related to the card in sound, video & game ctls.(no WDM compatible entry or anything). I tried to change the PCI slot of the card, but each time to no avail. i am thinking it has something to do with the integrated BIOS sound, or this old Yamaha driver for Dell(i was messing around with an old resource cd and i think i may have installed it a few weeks to a month ago, my memory is blurred thanks to some xanax that night so im not sure if i did. anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Does the BIOS detect the card? depending on the mboard you do sometimes get a summary of all PCI devices in the system so I'd be checking here to see if it is appearing. After that I'd be checking another computer to see if the card has failed.
If the card passes onother system then there may be a problem with the BIOS NVRAM - some sort of problem that is preventing the card from being detected. Resetting the NVRAM (usually involves moving a jumper on the board) and then restarting after the reset can sometimes do the trick. This is a last step though and I'd suggest verify the card is actually working.
Hope this hel
ps.
John
