Photo Printing from Networked Windows 7

My HP Photosmart Printer is USB connected to a Windows XP machine which is directly attached to the home network. Also have a Windows 7 64 machine wirelessly connected to the home network. The Photosmart printer was added to the windows 7 machine and selected as the default printer and I have no problems printing to it from the Windows 7 machine except that I only recently found out that I cannot select from various photo paper sizes to print photos from the Windows 7 computer. All various printing programes only give me a limited selection of paper sizes to choose from when configuing the printing - Letter, A4, A5 Envelope, Legal, etc. The same programs on the XP machine offer the choice of various photo paper sizes to print to. It seems as though all of the Photosmart configuration options are not available via the Windows 7 computer. Should I try to install the printer on the Windows 7 machine again, directly from a downloaded HP installation file?

Hi,
Well, looks like you have to install drivers on the Windows 7 machine (if supported) but I how do we know your printer to find out ?.
Regards.

Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

Hi Mukesh,
I'd like to help, but can you clarify the issue? Are you asking how to print a photo from your printer? Also, can you confirm that your printer is a HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 e-All-in-One Printer?
Thanks!

I am not able to print to my usb airport extreme attached printer from my windows aptop or window desktop

I am not able to print to my usb airport extreme attached printer from my windows aptop or window desktop

Your post did not really provide any details on what you have done in the way of troubleshooting or printer software that you have installed, so we don't have much to go on here.
For starters though, you will not be able to print unless you have installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC(s) and run the program.
So, if you have not done this, that would be a good first step.

How can I print from a Windows PC to an AppleTalk networked printer?

I have a Windows Dell laptop (NT w/SP 2) that normally prints on a Windows network at my office.
At home, I have an AppleTalk network that includes a cable modem, router, various Macs connected by either Ethernet or wireless, and an HP 2100TN printer connected to that router via Ethernet. My AirPort Extreme also connects to that hub, so the network is a combination of Ethernet wired and wireless devices. When I connect the Windows laptop to this network (either wirelessly or by Ethernet), it cannot find the printer (although I am able to get to the Internet). I've tried to install Bonjour (Bonjour64Setup.exe) on the Windows machine, but it refuses (comes back with a message saying that "Bonjour is not a valid Win32 application").
I am trying to find out how to get the Windows laptop to find and use the HP networked printer.

Thanks for the various suggestions (the successful one was the HP Wizard).
I couldn't find the IP address of the printer (the test page-- when printed directly from the printer-- does not show the IP address, nor does System Profiler), and the method used for the Airport Extreme USB printer was not necessary (although that may come in handy, some day).
I downloaded the HP Network Printer Wizard which made the whole process fairly easy and worked. The HP Wizard found the printer and got the printer up on the Windows printer list. It really didn't need for me to give it the IP address (it found it on its own).
Thanks.

Trying to print from a Windows XP laptop to a Mac Home Network

Help! I have a home wireless network (netgear) using a DSL line. I have an iMac G4 and an iMac G5 cabled to my wireless router and I have an iBook G4 running wirelessly on the network. In addition, I have an Epson C84 cabled to my iMac G4's USB port. All the computers can print flawlessly to the C84 using printer sharing in OS X 10.4.6. My problem is this: I also have a Windows XP laptop that uses this home network for internet access (which it does with no problem) but I want to be able to print to the C84 printer as well from the Windows laptop. I cannot seem to make it work. I have turned on "Windows" and "Printer" Sharing in OS X preferences and I have also tried loading "Bonjour for Windows" from Apple onto my XP laptop but that doesn't work either although it seems to "see" the printer - but gives me a connection error message and won't print.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Can't print from a windows pc to network printer

I am having a network printer problem.
I have a Canon printer plugged into the usb port of my Mac-Mini. I can print fine from the Mac to the printer. I have network sharing enabled for the printer.
I have a Dell PC connected to an Airport Express via internet cable as part of my network.
I have bonjour installed on the Dell
Bonjour can see the networked canon printer and will install it as the default printer for the Dell PC.
However, I can not print from the Dell unless I have the wrong printer driver (an HP driver) installed. As long as the wrong driver is installed I can print the first page of a document only.
If I install the correct Canon driver, the printer ceases to function.
I tried connecting the printer to the airport express via usb. Once I did this, I was able to print from the Dell pc with no problem using the correct driver. But then, I could no longer print from the Mac-mini via the Airport Express connected printer. The Mac could see the printer and identify that it was connected via Airport. And the Mac will allow me to connect to the Airport connected printer . But as soon as I trie to print something from the Mac, it fails and gives an error message or pauses and says the drivers may not be correct.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

I believe that there may not be a solution to this because the printer will only recognize one set of drivers. Since one set of drivers is for the Mac and one set is for a PC It will only work with one machine or the other.
Then you should be able to print from the Mini after resetting the printer, e.g. by turning it off and back on after a short while. But it sounds as if this won't help either, and to be frank, it's not an "acceptable" explanation, either...
So, what's the error message? Unless known, we can only keep guessing:
You've reset the printer system in the Mini? Eventually consider deleting the Canon drivers manually afterwards, and only then add the printer again and re-install its software.
If that doesn't help either, the issue must be a communication problem, meaning I'd recommend to double-/triple-check all comm-related things as well.

Can not print from network share.

When a PDF document is printed from a network share whe're getting this error:
Windows cannot find 'T:\temp\test.pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
This happens when a user click on the document with a right mouse click and select "print".
But when the users copies it to his desktop and then select print with the right mouse click. The document print as normally. What could be the problem?
we are using adobe reader 7.0.0

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.

How to print from network

I have a printer connected to an Imac, I bought a Macbook pro now also. I can't get the printer to print from the Macbook pro on a network (wireless). I have the Imac set to share and can get it to show up on the Macbook but cannot find the drivers for it. I downloaded the newest drivers from the Canon website and tried again, but it finds the printer but never prints. Do I have to put the entire program from the printer on the Macbook or do I need just the drivers. They do not show up in the list when it asks for the printer drivers. Canon IP6600D,

According to the web site at Canon I see that they released a new driver in November which would be newer than the one that was included in the OS, is this the one you installed?
iP6600D Printer Driver Ver. 4.8.3 (Mac OS X)
ip6600dosx483ej7.dmg
Photo Inkjet Printers - Photo Inkjet Printers - PIXMA Pro Professional Inkjet Printers - Photo Printer - PIXMA iP6600D - Canon USA Consumer Products
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDeta ilTabAct&fcategoryid=257&modelid=11864#DownloadDetailAct
You need to include more information about your network before someone can help you set it up. "I have an imac I want to share printers with" is not enough info.
Since this is an ip printer I might assume that you have the printer connected via firewire or ethernet to the imac.
The imac is then connected wirelessly to what make and model of wireless router or modem?
Direct connecting the printer to the computer and seeing if the driver is recognized and can print will tell you if you have the right driver.
Trying to set it up in reverse will tell you if it is the wireless network, since the imac obviously can print to the printer and recognizes it.
You can also set up a computer to computer wireless network in the airport menu to see if it is the router.

Can't print from networked PC running XP

Hi. I have a Canon IP6700D attached via USB to my iMac. The iMac is running OS X 10.5.5.
Also attached to my network is a PC running Windows XP SP3. So both machines are fully patched up.
Printing from the iMac works flawlessly.
I want to be able to print from the PC so I have shared the printer, turned off the firewall on the iMac set up the printer on the PC. The PC can see the printer and I can send print jobs to it. The iMac can see the print jobs coming over but nothing ever prints. Looking through the logs on the iMac tells me that the printer has worked but obviously it hasn't.

Your issue could be due to the driver being used on the Windows box. Usually, you have to use a Generic PostScript driver on the Windows computer rather than the supplied vendor driver. This will restrict the options you have for printing but at least you should be able to print.

My hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175 just stopped printing last week. I have tried everything recommended but nothing works.

It even does not print the test page. Please dont recommend to update drivers etc. as I have spend 2 whole days on this and nothing works!

Hi @einar1854,
I see by your post that you are unable to print by a USB or Wireless connection on 3 different computers, but the printer will print the hardware self tests. I can help you with this.

My office jet pro l7590, prints from network router. one pc can connect but it remains "offline"

OJ Pro L7590. Connected to my network via router. All Win 7 PC's. One laptop connected wirelessly. Constantly shows Printer Offline.
I'm able to access the printer's web server from this PC. (on the network) It shows up as "ready" on the Device Information tab. However from the PC's printers menu, it is showing up as offline. When I go throught the HP Officejet Pro AiO "add a device" menu, it fails to connect in the very last step. This has been extremely frustrating.
It obviously "sees" the printer on the network. Windows connect a printer will work, but yields same result. Have latest full feature driver/software download.
Print Doctor does not see any problem. truly baffled. Wife's PC and she is the heaviest print user in the house. Son's apple Mac book printed wirelessly with no effort. (I'm not even sure he did anything special to make it work.)

Make sure you have only one securtity system on your PC (for example if you have an old version of McAfee that you just left on there and added another system), uninstal the old, unused security system.
Go to Start > All Programs > HP > [your printer model] > Uninstall. Run it.
Restart your PC.
Download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
