Print issue over network with Vista

Hello,
hope this is the right place for this message. I have a dymo 400 turbo installed and working properly on my imac. I want to be able to print to it from my wives vista home laptop. In Vista I goto add it and it does see it on the network and show the imac it installs it but will not print says its unable to connect.
Any suggestions? I m assuming this a is Vista issue not seeing the imac correctly? I have a HP Officejet connected to my router directly and that prints on both machines fine.
Thanks,
MARK

Can't be 100% sure - I don't have one of those.
Mac print queues expect to receive postscript, so try changing the driver on Vista to a postscript one, like Apple Color Laserwriter.

Hp Laser Jet 1020 network printing fail over win7 and Vista

Printer prints fine when is connected to computer trough USB but when shared over the network between Vista or 7 and another PC tries to print. Jobs stays in the queue labelled 'Printing' but nothing happens.
Printing over the network only works when 'Print Spooler' is manually stopped and then restarted on the PC the printer is connected to for each job!
Printer used to work fine under XP with network sharing.
On local and networked PC, the printer use port "USB001"
Searching trough many forums i found this problem sill remains unsolved for 1020 and some other printers.
I have to admit that i had test all available versions of a driver.

Have you tried to setup the Local Port using, \\Win7Computername\Printername on the other computer?

"Error while printing." over network

I am trying to print from a mac mini running 10.4.11 to a printer on a macbook pro running 10.5.3. The printer is using the Laserjet 4 Gutenprint driver. When I connect the printer directly to the mac mini, everything works fine. I can use the PDF export options on the print dialog just fine. When I try to print over the network "Processing..." flashes up and I immediately get "Error while printing." I have tried resetting the print queue on both machines, (turning sharing off and on) rebooting, deleting and installing the printer on either machine multiple times. I've repaired permissions on both machines and the cups error_log gives me literally no information when that message pops up. Help!?

I've also noticed that while the network printer is selected, I can't use the preview feature in the print dialogue, nor do the PDF features work. I get the same "Processing..." then "Error while printing." In addition, with the network printer selected, when I try to print from page 1 to 1 of a multipage document it tells me "Error: Invalid Page Range. The number is out of range. Resetting back to last known valid entry." it resets it to 1 to 1 and gives me the same error if I click print.

Sharing across network with Vista

iTunes on my new computer with Vista can see iTunes library on older XP machine on my family network, but no "arrow" appears next to library name, and when I select the shared library, it just disappears. I'm sure I missed something. Anyone got any insight?
Thanks

I had the same problem, installed Bonjour on the windows computer and was able to print right away... no reboot required using the generic driver for a canon mp470 printer on the mac pro.
Thanks!

Printing stopped over wifi with AirPort Extreme

I've had an Epson and Brother wifi printers setup to print wirelessly using an AirPort Extreme. This worked fine for over a year. Now, however, neither will print. I've reinstalled all drivers, reset the AirPort and I still cannot print to a Mac with 10.8.2 or an iPad 3 with iOS 5 or 6 with either printer.
I either get a printer error message that says "filter failed" or "printer offline".
However, when I create an ad hoc wifi network on the Mac, I can connect and print to the printers wirelessly on both the iPad and Mac with no problems.
I've also tried to print with a new Time Capule and was also unable to print.

I found the problem. I had an ethernet cable connected from the AirPort Extreme to my Comcast digital cable box. This caused the printer to be assigned an IP address in the range of 192.168.* instead of the correct range of 10.0.1.*. Simply, unplugging the ethernet cable from the AirPort and cable box and restarting the printer fixed the problem—I can print again.

Printing issues on network printer (Sharp MX-N700N)

Hi all,
Well my issue is twofold really. Primarily, I need to be able to print to a network printer which is the Sharp MX-M700N. Now it's on a windows network, so I added it to my printer list via it's IP address. So far so good...so now I have the latest driver avaialble from the Sharp consumer website (sharp-usa.com) and what happens is anytime I try to print anything, the job automatically goes on pause. Even if I click resume, it then pauses again immediately.
Now the second part of my issue, is that other people in my office who are also on Macs running 10.5.2 have added this printer via it's IP, but they used an older driver (for version 10.4.x) that was downloaded off of the Sharp service site, accessible only by authorized technicians. Now here's the thing....they can print to it perfectly.
So immediate thought is...use the driver they're using right? Well, when I try to install that driver, it's telling me it can't because a newer version is already installed. I've gone into Macintosh HD > Library > Printers to find the driver to try and delete it, but there's tons of stuff in the Sharp folder there and I'm worried about just randomly deleting files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Reading through your post, you may find that the latest driver you have will work, you just might have to ensure you have the correct protocol selected and queue name entered. If you look at one of the other Mac's that is working, you can select the print in the list, select 'Open Print Queue' and then select the Info icon. This will display the General tab and in the lower section next to URI will be the protocol and queue used; ex lpd://ip_address/print.
If you do have the exact settings in your Mac, and you want to look at removing the driver, then check that an uninstaller is not included with the driver installer. I've seen with the Canon copier drivers, you have the option to Uninstall and this removes all the files located in /Library/Printers/Canon/PS. Hopefully you have something the same for the Sharp.
If not, then copy the contents of the Sharp folder to another location and then delete the original folder contents.

Has anyone figured out how to print through Airport Express with Vista?

My wife has Vista on her laptop and everytime we try printing through the Airport Express/Bonjour it doesn't work. It might print one page and then stop, but never any further.
The latest Bonjour is installed.
Is there anything else?

Was this printer ever at one time connected to the Vista PC directly ? also with Vista ive seen issues with bonjour printers. Its due to either the firewall of this new junk they added in called windows defender. This application ive seen various results from it like it thought my install of Gears of War was a virus and etc. One thing you could even try doing is turn off the windows firewall and see if this resolves this issue. Seeing as this computer is behind a "hardware" firewall such as a router anyways you wouldnt really need to have the firewall on unless you had a strong need for the extra security

Laserjet 1012 on network with Vista 64 bit laptop

I am currently trying to connect to a Laserjet 1012 that is set up on our home network with a laptop running 64 bit Vista. I have tried to just rght click and drag the printer from the networked computer it is directly connected to and then try the install option. This brings up a dialog box stating that it cannot find the correct inf file or drivers to install the printer. I have tried downloading and extracting the Vista 64 bit drivers from the HP support site but I can not find the inf files needed to complete the install. Had been running an XP laptop with the printer installed the same way and am currently using another laptop with 32 bit version of Vista that was installed the same way with no problems. I have tried several different things to get this printer installed but still can't get it up and running.
Any help will be appreciated.

HP LaserJet M1120 MFP will not print on wireless network with Windows 8.1 operating system

The printer worked on the wireless network with Windows 8.
I have been advised that it does not work with windows 8.1 because a driver is required. However this is not available to download.
It is ridiculous that by having the latest operating system I am unable to use the HP printer on the wireless network
When will HP have the driver to download?

Check the support site here.

Make sure you have the firmware update also.

How to setup peer to peer network with Vista machine.

Hello,
I just got my very first Apple computer last week and I'd like to copy some files from my Dell PC with Vista Premium installed. I don't have a wireless network setup yet (hopefully soon), but I'd like to copy some files from my PC to my Mini. I was wondering if it were possible to network the two systems using just an ethernet cable between the two.
Might someone know how to set this up or refer me to a document that explains all the steps needed to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Apple have a page that talks you through doing this:

Probably a good place to start.

Printing issues on network printer (Xerox Phaser 4500DT)

I need to be able to print to a network printer which is a Xerox Phaser 4500DT. It is simply networked from its IP address. I have the latest driver. Every time I try to print anything the job automatically goes on pause. If I click resume, it does print, but this takes time, every time I print. The URL is "pap://*/Phaser%204500DT/LaserWriter".
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I can no longer print multiple jobs to any of my Phaser 4500 machines(N/DT)? If the printer is clear, the job will spool and print.
If more than one job is sent or multiple users print at the same time, the local print queue is changed to 'PAUSE PRINTER' - I have tried printing via Appletalk, Bonjour & IP printing, the same problem occurs.
Why does 10.5.6 not allow you to spool and queue a print job any more? This is VERY frustrating in a busy office with multiple users attempting to print at the same time! - Any advice would be gratefully received!

Last several upgrades, I cannot PRINT. Nothing happens! Wife can print, same home network, with older version.

Neither the menu Print nor Ctrl-P will bring up a print dialog from FF. My other programs work fine. This started a couple of months ago. I update whenever possible and go to Beta as requested. Shows I'm in 6.0 and the "Beta Update Channel".
Just now, I pasted that diagnostic info and saw that advice! OH!!

Thank you, Edmeister! That HP software has been useless since the day it was installed. I don't much use that printer, now, but, when FF was printing, it would print to either network printer, as selected, when that dialog used to pop up.
SINCE posting my problem, I have determined that I can "work around" by rebooting FF in Safe Mode with none of the add-ons. I tried deleting a couple I suspected but that hasn't helped, so far. Some, as you know, don't seem delete-able unless, maybe, through Windows. So, I'll keep experimenting until I can identify which one is causing my print dialog not to appear at all. Guess I'm the only one in America with this problem! :/

Can Printer over network but can't scan over network with Officejet 6500 E710n

Got an odd problem... I can print all day via my wireless network, I can even ping my printer's IP with no issues.
I can't scan at all, it keeps giving me connection related error messages (Scanner Unreachable, etc). I checked the "Update IP Address" tool and the IP address was correct. So I figured I would install on a different computer.
I installed using the software from this website (I have never installed this HP printer on this computer, I always did eprinting from this computer), it worked perfectly, it found the printer almost instantly. Installation worked perfect with no issues, errors, etc.
Printed the test page perfectly but I still can't scan over the network, I tried both clicking on "HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z" and clicking on both "Scan a document or photo" and "Activate Scan to Computer" and also I get a connection error if I try the "HP Scan" software.
I ran the "HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility" but it can't find my printer (odd that it found it to install the software and I can print/ping it all day).
I also ran the "HP Scan Diagnostic Utility 4.2" and it DID find the printer... It also got past the "Connectivity" and "Device Manager" steps and put a check next to them.
It then failed on the "Windows (WIA) Scan" step. I skip it and it fails on the "HP Twian Scan" after giving me a connection related error message. It will not let me continue the test.
I have restarted both computers and printer multiple times. I am running Windows 7 on my laptop and Windows XP on my desktop.

I suggest uninstalling the full feature software from both PCs and re-installing and configuring the software on both.
Are you using the HP Solution center to scan? It is in Dutch, but the images are the same as what you should see in a correctly installed full feature software package.

Need help with duplicate print jobs over network that I can't cancel

I have the Photosmart Premium All-in-One on my home network. My kids who each have laptop running Windows 7 and are connected via wireless to the printer via a DLINK DIR-655.
They hit the print button too many times and it keeps printing over and over again.
Is there a way to get the printer to stop printing these duplicates. I tried turning off/on but they just keep printing.
We're wasting paper/ink and I need help with a solution.
Please let me know. Thanks.
Angelo

There should be a button with a red 'X' on it on the front of the printer. This is the print cancel button.

Can't print over network with WinXP.

I have a HP LaserJet M1120 MPF and it's connected to a Windows XP desktop via USB. My MacBook uses the shared internet connection on the desktop through a wireless router, but I cannot set up the printer. I can see it, when I go to add a new printer, but I can't find the driver for it in the drivers list. Please, help.

I think I figured it out after torchering my self for weeks.
I had my computers and printers hooked up directly or wireless through a linksys WRT610N router. I decided to add a linksys switch right after the router and plugged the computer and printers in through the switch and now it works.
This is very strange, there must be somekind of incompatibility with the WRT610N router that is causing the problem, it works but refused to print for some reason. I tried changing settings in the router but haven't got it to work.
Any clues on what it could have been with the router?
Thanks,
Ara
