Please Help: Cant' get Windows computer to see network printer

Hi,
I have my printer shared on our network directly into the airport. All of the Macs can use it no problem, but when we try to get a Windows computer to access it, we're having no luck.
I followed these direction I found on Macworld:
AirPort printer sharing isn’t restricted to Macs: Windows PCs can also use an Air-Port print server. To set this up, you’ll need the AirPort’s IP number. (By default, it’s at 10.0.1.1.) With the PC attached to the AirPort wireless network, open the Add Printer wizard in Printers and Faxes. Following the steps in the wizard, create a local printer, deselecting the Automatically Configure option. Next, click to create a new Standard TCP/IP Port, and enter your AirPort’s IP number in the IP number field. If the IP number is 10.0.1.1, the queue name should automatically fill in as IP_10.0.1.1. In the next screen, select Standard as the device type, and then specify Hewlett Packard Jet Direct. Finally, click on Finish, and then select your printer make and model from the list of available drivers.
but had no luck as well.
I'm trying to connect to an HP Lasterjet 2200.
Thanks,
-Tim

I fixed the problem. I coudln't get the Windows machine to find it on the network unless it was actually plugged into the USB port of the Airport Extreme.

  • PLEASE HELP cant get online.

    Hello,
    I am having trouble getting online with my other lappy. I have 2 computers, one for me and one for my girlfriend. we have a wireless network and it works on one and not on the other. safari opens but only the "you are not connected to the internet" appears.
    I have reset the PRAM and NVRAM
    and i also reset the system management controller.
    If someone can suggest something please do.
    Thanks in advance

    Greetings,
    First of all, PRAM and NVRAM have nothing to do with connectivity, so fiddling with that won't help you. If one of the laptops connects but the other doesn't, the most logical conclusion is that there is something different in the settings on the one that doesn't connect. You should check those very carefully and be sure they are identical in every way.
    Instead of using wireless, try plugging both of them into an Ethernet connection so you can verify that they both work normally using that method, too.

  • Please Help, cant get 8i Enterprise working on my system...cant get into sql plus

    Hello,
    I am trying to get my oracle 8i working. I installed it, and it went ok, except two optional programs didnt work, though it was recommended to get them working, i didnt know how and just went on. Also some of the programs are not working either...which i dont understand since the software installed successfully.
    I am using 8i enterprise on my win2k system. I am not on a network and am using it only on my local machine. I CANNOT get into Sql Plus as it is asking me for a user/password/host string. i tried so many combinations. scott/tiger, system/manger, sys/system_change_on_install and various other things on this discussion board.
    Nothing is working for me and I have no idea whats wrong. I have used installed Oracle systems before and used to just login those systems as scott/tiger and no problems. This is the first time i have installed it from scratch and i havent been able to get into the system.
    Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Thank you.

    the programs that do not work are:
    Database Configuration Assistant
    INTYPE File Assistant
    Net 8 Assistant
    Net 8 Configuration Assistant
    Net 8 Easy Config
    I click the programs and nothing happens. Not sure even if something is supposed to happen though.
    the error when i type in the pass/user is:
    ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error
    thank you for helping.

  • Cant get chooser to find my network printer!

    I was wondering if someone can help me..
    I've tried everything on my OS 9 G4, but cant seem to get the Chooser window to select my HP PSC 1210 printer. It shows it in the left window but is greyed out. My ethernet is working perfectly. I have the printer hooked up to my OSX MacBookPro and that goes to my D-link DI 624 router and another Ethernet cable goes to my OS 9.2.1 G4 quicksliver. A printer icon is placed on my desktop but it cant find the network.
    I'm stuck ANny help would be greatly appreciated.!!
    Thanks / Alexis

  • After updating my computer, my iweb is not opening...please help me get it back!

    after updating My computer, my iweb is not opening...please help me get it back!

    Verify that your domain file is located in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder which will be invisible. However, 
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For  Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    Next:
    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    Since iWeb has discontinued by Apple the new systems don't handle the iWeb preference pane as it was in earlier.  The script corrects that situation and once you open the domain file the first time you can just use iWeb to open it from there on.  However, you'll need it if you plan on using more than one domain file. And adhear to the warning above.

    You don't need any software to run the router at all.  Connect with your wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password admin and configure your router manually like everyone else.

    Hi friends, I have a Mac Pro OS X 10.5.8, I want to upgrade newer version its possible, please help to get a solution
    thanks

    See options below:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Error 213.5 Please help me get DW working again. Thanks CaptJim4685

    I have a Mac OS 10.10 used the Migration Assistant to move all files from old computer to new computer yesterday. Now can not use my Dreamweaver CS 5.5 program I have my original install disk. Tried that. get error 213.5 Please help me get DW working again. Thanks CaptJim4685

    Hi Nancy O.
    Thing is, I was using it on my old MacBookPro, also w/ yosemite. No problem. So I think it should run on the new one with the same OS.
    I did figure out how to find the CC cleaner log file. It had a lot of stuff in it, but did not indicate any kind of failures. I did not see the word “failure in the log file at all.
    After your suggestions, I went thru all the steps again - twice - very carefully emptying the trash between steps and restarting. Got the same error message at the end.
    Now, I still have 5.5 working on the old computer. That was my first and only install. My notes suggest  I installed it in 2011.
    If I knew for sure that if I deactivated it (if I knew how to do that) on the old computer, and uninstalled it, AND I could then count on the install working on my new computer, I would do it, but I am afraid to do that for fear that then I wouldn’t have it to use at all.
    I had expected it to transfer over, and then I would clean the old computer, as my son wants it for his wife, They have no use for DW.
    I also had trouble w/ MS Office, but they allowed me to call them and get a new install code. Now that Works fine.
    I wish Adobe were as accommodating. I have my original install disk & code. I never expected any of this trouble.
    I hope you can come up with a new plan. I really can’t afford to buy a new copy, especially when I know that this one should work, if it would just get rid of this blocking action.
    I only use it for editing my own personal family website: http:www.americanfenner.com.  I am not a webmaster/webwriter/ computer programmer or anything like that. Just an old guy doing personal stuff on my mac.

  • I cant get my computer to update the os x software

    i need help!!! i cant get my software to update anymore. and now i need to update to a newer version of os x (10.5) but i cant get my computer to do it. can anyone help me?!!!!

    OS X 10.4.x won't update to 10.5
    10.5 won't update to 10.6
    and 10.6 won't update to 10.7
    Not without paying for it and meeting the hardware requirements.
    Please tell us your hardware so we can tell you how far you can go.
    Sometimes older versions of OS X are no longer supported even though the computer still works perfectly fine.
    You might have to accept what you got or buy a new machine and use the older one for something else that doesn't need to be updated anymore.

    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
