Print server doesn't grap ip or show on dhcp clienttable

I have a dlink dp-101p print server attached to my printer. Ethernet cable out of the back of the print server is attached to my wrt160n router. For some reason the print server doesn't grab an ip or show up under the dhcp client table.
This connection worked with my previous router.
Help please!

It could be possible that your Print Server is not compatible with the router...However, when you reset your Print Server for 5 secs you should get a test page...If not you can conclude the Print Server and the router are not compatible...

LaserJet 1018 shared on Printer server doesn't print

Hi, I'm a multi HP owner (notebook, desktop a Photosmart printer and the LaserJet 1018)... I recently bought a Iomega NAS with the printer server service and I tried to share both of my HP printers on it. The PhotoSmart 7260 works perfectly, but the LaserJet 1018 does not: it says that it have a job pending but the print doesn't start. I've passed the same nightmare when I've tried to share the printer on the Desktop PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit: job pending but no printing unless I restart the PC... on startup the print stated. I've found the way to share it with Ubuntu Server 9.10 by installing HP linux driver.Now, having this nice NAS I would like to use it as my printer server (energy saving reasons).
I've read a lot of people with the same problem but havn't find the solution. Somebody even says that the 1018 is a low budget printer and is not enabled for sharing, but it sounds bull**bleep** to me (it prints under linux). Somebody knows if and how to solve this problem? My clients are both Win7 x64 (I have to test my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop)... should I install 32bit version drivers? ore something like that? Or should I buy a new printer (!HP)???
Thanks
Alessandro

If the printer is not postscript, and you are using 'generic' then the printer is likely not understanding what is being sent to it, so it is dumping the job.
HP printers default to HPs own page desription language called PCL (Printer Control Language).
If you did not install all the 'additional printers' when you installed your OS, might want to do so.
If not, check HPs site for Mac drivers, or check out GIMP & GhostScript from SourceForge.net to see if they support that particular printer

WPS54G Print Server doesn't print wirelessly

I am using the setup wizard, but when it is checking for the wireless setting I get a message that the connection failed. please help!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi quack thanks for your answer , unfortunately everything is correct and turned on... when I unplugged the ethernet cable just before the last step of the wizard and it is on the screen of "Now your wireless is connected" a little box appeares saying "connect fail"... But if I leave the ethernet cable plugged, the process goes "perfect", because I can print, but the server must be connected to the router wirely...
I'm starting to think if it is because the WPA key of my router, I use a WPA2:AES+TKIP,and I'm not pretty shure if the server is compatible.
Thanks for your commment!!! I wish that exist a solution!!

CUPS printing to remote server doesn't work under Leopard

So i have an ubuntu system running cups 1.2.8 as a print server. i have an epson stylus colour 760 plugged in and configured and working.
i also had a macmini running tiger printing to it fine via ipp. now it didn't occur to me that something as simple (and important) as printing would be severely broken under Leopard. basically, after the upgrade, i can't print at all to the remote cups server.
the symptoms are that the job queue will pause; even after clicking on 'resume', it will start the progress bar, and then after 100%, it will just pause again.
i have on the cups server (qbic)

Printer Driver Doesn't Show Up.

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 (Multifunction). It's only about two months old.
Up until last weekend, I was still running Jaguar. My printer worked perfectly. I upgraded to Tiger on Saturday and didn't try to print anything until today. When I tried to, I saw my printer was no longer installed. However, it was detected. When I tried to add it, the correct driver was not listed. I put in the install disc that came with the printer, re-installed the software and restarted. The correct driver still didn't show up. I went to Canon's site, downloaded the drivers, installed again and restarted. They're still not listed. I tried to choose some of the drivers that are listed to see if I can print an email, but anything I spool just sits there in the queue.
What do I do next? I know it's plugged in correctly. I haven't touched it since I set it up two months ago and it was working perfectly fine just before I upgraded to Tiger.

I've same problem, same Pb 17'
the difference is that my printer was working in TIGER till yesterday. Unexpectly yesterdey I lost drivers, MP500 disappeared, I've reinstalled drivers but...nothing.
Pb find printer, but doesn't find drivers; drivers are installed.
I think I need help.
p.s.:Same problem with PIXMA ip1600.

Resolution - Printing HP LaserJet & Linksys Wireless Print Server WPS54GU2

Hello Guys:
After trying to figure out for 10 days and calling HP, Applet and Linksys support, i finally am able to print to my printer.
I have iMac running Tiger 10.4.8. I have a HP LaserJet 1012 Printer connected in a USB Port to the Wireless Print Server WPS54GU2. This is what I did to get it working.
First install the following drivers:
1) Go to http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/ and download hpijs-foomatic-2.0.2.ppc.dmg and espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg file. Install hpijs first and espgs second.
2) After that Go to Server Preferences, Double click on Print/Fax.
3) Click on the "+" sign, select Line Printer Daemon - LPD
4) In the Address field, enter the IP address of your print server.
5) In the Queue name (This is very important). I used L2 for USB. You can try P1, L1 as well. Not sure how you have connected to the print server. For me L2 worked. I had tried using L1 and P1 and it didn't work for me.
6) The Name field should automatically be populated.
7) In the Print Using, select HP and then select "HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs" as the printer or whatever driver you have for your printer.
8) Click on Add
And now open up text edit or something and you should be able to print.
let me know if there are any questions.

Try Repairing permissions (Disk Utility). Then restart, then add again.
What do you mean by the printer doesn't show up - the driver (print using:)?
You can try the generic HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver that comes in OS X.

Connecting printer through wireless Print Server

Wireless Dlink DPR-1260, hooked up to network. ( using Linksys wireless router and Windows XP Home)
Two usb printer ports. Loaded HP laserjet 2300 series using the print server software wizard.. works fine...prints remotely.
The P.S. created the tcp/ip ports and loaded the drivers after requesting the HP driver disk.
But, when loading the HP color laserJet 2550 series, it asks for the disk, but says the driver inf files not available. I downloaded from the HP web site the XP drivers, and when I pointed to the unzipped files, said the same thing.
I used the XP driver... should I have used the Universal Print Driver?
On the P.S. screen the HP 2300 shows up as HP LaserJet 2300 series, and the LPR Queque name is : LaserJet 2300
But when I manually loaded the 2550, The name shows up as HP color LaserJet 2550 ser and the Queque name is color LaserJet 25.
Both printers work fine connected directly to the printer, but the 2550 will not print through the P.S.
Since the drivers for the 2550 are loaded and it prints when hard wired, tell me how to find the drivers installed on the computer, so I can point to them there.
Thanks

Printing with the built-in network protocols (Windows Printing, IP printing) requires a CUPS print driver. HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers (yet) - their drivers are written to only use USB. You can try the HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver included in OS X.
There is no CUPS driver for your specific model, that I can find.

Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
Thank You,
mholmau

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.

Printing through a wireless print server

I've got a Macbook running 10.4.11 that connects wirelessly to my home network. I recently purchased a Buffalo LinkStation Pro Duo NAS that has a built-in print server. I connected my printer to the NAS and can print wirelessly from all my PCs, but not my Mac. The Mac sees the printer as a "generic postscript printer", however, when I try and print, it goes "ding" and doesn't do anything. I've tried changing from "generic" to my printer model, but my model (Canon MP160) doesn't show up on the list. I've gone and installed the drivers from Canon, but it still doesn't show up in the list of available Canon models.
Otherwise, the NAS works fine from all computers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whew! After researching and researching, I tried downloading and installing the latest Gutenprint package. It included CUPS drivers for a Canon printer very close to mine and when selecting this printer in the setup, it seems to work OK. Not perfect, but it does work.

OSX and wireless (third party) print server problems - 'host is busy' again

The setup:
MBP running OSX 10.5.2
Zyxel NSA-220 (with latest firmware) hardwired to a Lynksys wireless router (running Tomato firmware)
Canon PIXMA iP4500 with CUPS+Gutenprint v5.1.7 drivers
I'm trying to set up the NSA as a print server. I can ping the NSA, it shows up fine in finder and I can access the shares on the discs - all wirelessly.
However the Canon setup program can't locate the printer when it tries to align the print heads, so I tried using Print & Fax to set up IP printing, with LPD as protocol and the IP address of the NSA, selecting CUPS drivers rather than the Canon ones.
The issue comes when I try to print and get locked in a 'Network host x.x.x.x is busy' cycle that never ends. I switched from M$ about 12 months and think I'm reasonably computer literate but feel like a mac newbie when problems like this hit. Grateful for any advice.

I helped another postee with a SimpleShare NAS. Reading the user documentation for the device, it showed the Windows connections using smb, ie you simply browse to the device via Network Neighborhood, double-click then select the printer name.
To use smb on the Mac, you select Windows Printing when you add the printer, then browse to the workgroup, then the Zyxel computer name and then the printer share name. Note that if the printer share name has spaces and too many characters, it can cause problems so keep the name short, such as iP4500, and don't have any spaces.
With regards to the current use of LPD as the protocol, this will be the cause of the network busy error as the device probably doesn't support UNIX print services (which btw is what you need to enable on Windows Server if you were to connect the same way).
One final note. The recent Security Update 2008-002 stopped some users from connecting to their current Windows share. One workaround has been to add the user account information into the queue name. This can be done by modifying the view for the Print & Fax Add Printer dialog box, so that the Advanced Printing option appears. Control-click on the icon bar in the Add Printer dialog box and then select Customize then Advanced. Within this selection will be the option to use Windows Printing via SAMBA. This lets you add the printer with all the necessary info, such as the example following.
smb://NSAusername:password@NSA_IPAddress/iP4500
Once you have entered the queue name, you can then browse to the Canon Gutenprint v5.1.7 iP4500 driver.

Deskjet D4260 does not work with an ethernet printer server

I am attempting to attach a Deskjet D4260 printer to a home ethernet network using a StarTech PM1115U printer server. The printer has been connected to the network through a desktop computer, and worked perfectly. The printer server will also work with a different printer (Canon i550). However, it doesn't work with the D4260. The server's port will not go online, and it does not appear to recognize the printer.
This occurs regardless of OS (Windows XP, VIsta, 7, and 8 preview all don't work).
StarTech says there is no incompatibility issue with the server and host-based LIDL printers in general or the D4260 in particular. Does anyone know of any issues, or how to get the D4260 to work with this printer server?

Yes, that is how the instructions with the server tell you to install it. The server is connected to the network via ethernet cable and the printer to the server via USB. The server's instructions (as well as those given to me from StarTech support) say to install the printer as a local printer using a TCP/IP port using the server's IP address, which must be on the same subnet as the computer you are installing the printer on. All this I have done. There are a number of settings for the port. It can be raw or LPR and there are other options. I have attached it as instructed, and I have tried both raw and LPR, and tried various other settings. I was able to install a Canon i550 on the server with no difficulties. I was able to print to the printer, and the server, when I accessed it using either StarTech's server management software or a browser pointed to the IP address, showed the server's port on line and identified correctly the printer attached to it. When I attach the D4260, however, it shows the port off line and does not identify the printer. I got this server as a replacement for one that I bought without knowing that, according to its own documentation, it does not work with LIDL orinters. StarTech did not have any such warning, and the StarTech support people said that there should be no problem with a LIDL printer. They told me to consult HP support (to which this forum is the closest thing I can find). It looks to me as if either there is something about the printer that needs to be reset, or the server does not work with this printer. So far changing the driver does something, but not enough to print.

Printing to a Canon i9100 on a 3com wireless print server

I hope that some one can shed light on this.
I have a Canon i9100 printer, and have bought a 3com wireless print server.
I've installed the printer on the Mac Mini via USB fine, but now I want to go via the print server I can't figure out what is going on. The print server supports both apple talk and IP address printing
I click add printer, and it sees the print server, but when I click to select a printer from the list, the i9100 doesn't show up (only printers using the GIMP server)
I've trird both automatic, using apple talk and specifying the IP address of the printer, but there seems no way to tell it to use the i9100 driver. I've downloaded the latest OSX driver from the canon site. the 3com site is less than helpful on the subject.
Any pointers would be gratefully received. I'm a newbie to OSX so be gentle!
Thanks

Canon doesn't make drivers for OS X, for non-postscript printers*, that work for network or Windows printing. Their drivers bypass CUPS, the OS X print system, so the only comm protocol that works is what is written into the driver - USB.
Canon doesn't cooperate with the open source community, so the newest Gimp-Print drivers for Canons are for models more than 5 years old (Apple included Gimp-Print in Panther and Tiger because Gimp-Print drivers Are CUPS drivers).
The only drivers that do work (CUPS drivers) for newer Canon models are from www.printfab.net.
* (except for models with built-in networking - ethernet or WiFi)
When you set up IP printing >IPP, don't forget to enter the 3com-specific queue name in the setup - it's a part of the address that gets data to the printer. (find in the manual)
Hope this helps.

IBook printing with Belkin Wireless Print Server

Hi Guys
Ok, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am a windows user (groan!, get a proper computer, yes, I know. lol lol) But trying to set up a simple network consisting of three pcs, one laptop all running windows xp/vista and one IBook. Not the best on macs but can find my way round!! All works Ok as far as seeing each other on the network and communicating/internet etc. Have introduced Belkin wireless print server to network and all ok for windows regarding printing wirelessly over the network. However, the IBook I set up as IP printing and set the appropriate address in the ibook printer setup screen. But when printing from the IBook it says the print has gone but it is actually stuck in the queue and never prints. Can anyone help with what may be a simple entry in the setup or is it some black magic IBook setting that evades us windows users??
All help will be gratefully received and promise to look at conversion!!
Thanks in anticipation of help..........

Wireless Print Server Compatibility

I have a Netgear WGPS606 wireless print server and I was wondering if anyone knows if I can connect to it with OS X. Netgears site didn't say anything about it. Anyone know?

I had the same problem with my Netgear Print Server and there is no help directly on the Netgear website. However, a search on Google revealed the following link from one of the Netgear forums:
http://kbserver.netgear.com/kbwebfiles/N101570.asp
After following all the instructions I still wasn't able to get it to work until I did the following:
1. I use Netgear's WNR854T wireless router (RangeMax) and it doesn't seem to recognize the default IP (192.168.0.102) of the Print Server (PS). In my case, I had to change the PS's IP address so that it fell within the range set on my router; in my case it was 192.168.1.102.
2. Next you need to set the new IP address for the PS as a static address in your wireless router. Do not rely on the router's DHCP settings (if you have your router set-up this way) to properly route the printing information.
Check to make sure your Mac can now ping the PS with its new IP address. The terminal screen will show the PS continually being pinged, so once it successfully transmits its few bytes of data you can close the terminal.
3. Now follow the directions as stated in Netgear's document noting the change in the PS's new IP address. Make sure you don't input the IP address stated in the document as it was your old default address.
You should now be able to print documents.
