Print to LaserJet 3150 Shared by Windows XP Pro

I have an older, but servicable LaserJet 3150 hooked to my Windows XP Pro desktop at work.
A long time ago, I set it up to share with OS X by creatign a virtual printer using GhostScript and some other queuing utility - this made is look like a PostScript Laserwriter. Worked great!
Alas, as common with Windows, the system decided to blow iteself away, and had to be rebuilt. I did not keep recipee, and cannot find it online.
Has anybody seen it? The problem is that the LaserJet 3150 is a impure PCL printer using its own format.
Thanks,

SCCM 2012 R2 and client content sharing on Windows 7 Pro

Is it possible to use "Allow clients to share content with other clients on the same subnet" option on Windows 7 Pro clients? It's bit confusing because based on documentation, branch cache is only available on Windows 7 Enterprise and
Ultimate editions. Why does Windows 7 Pro have branch cache service when it's not usable?

Hi,
Is Branch Cache working with Windows 7 Professional?
No, it will not work with Windows 7 professional . Only Windows® 7 Enterprise and Windows® 7 Ultimate will support it.
We can confirm that form the official link below:
Client computer. A computer at a branch office that is running either Windows 7 Enterprise or Windows 7 Ultimate and that has BranchCache enabled.

Print to Laserjet 1020 hosted by Windows 7 64 bit via network from Windows 7 32 bit

I am trying to print from Win 7 32 bit to a HP 1020 connected to a 64 bit Win 7. (the 64 bit is a new computer).
I have tried all the suggestions posted:
Downloaded updated 32 bit driver to the 32 bit PC.
I have also assigned the printer to a port on the computer.
I enabled on the 64 bit printing from a x86 computer.
Nothing helps.
When I print, the job gets stuck on the computer connected to the printer. When i release the spool, it then prints the page.
I was able to print when all the PCs were 32 bit (and XP before that).

Hi NDK
The host base driver is the same for both Win 7 32 & 64 bit operating systems.

Can't connect to shared printer on Windows 7 Pro x64

I have a print server on Windows 2008 Standard and I have drivers installed for both x86 and x64 archs. The ricoh printer seems to work fine on windows 7 pro x64 but the hp printer will not work correctly. It seems to download/install the drivers but when actually connecting to the printer it errors out.
It says cannot connect to printer.
I can add the printer manually if I use tcp/ip printing instead of connecting to the shared printer. I can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone else seen an error like this? I'm not really sure what is causing this issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please also let us know the exact model of this HP printer.
If possible, please reproduce this issue on the Windows7 client and collect the relevant information for further research.
Step 1: Download Process Monitor

Unable to connect to HP PSC1510 shared at Windows XP

As the title suggests I've got a HP PSC1510 All-in-one printer attached by USB to a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine. The printer has been shared in Windows.
I've tried following various articles on the Apple Support site, but nothing seems to work. I can't locate the printer on the network, and as a result I can't connect to it.
Is there some trick that I am overlooking? Any help would be very welcome.

There are two issues here - connection protocol and driver. For driver, look up your model here and install the recommended driver:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
(You need a CUPS driver because HP's driver was written for USB only)
Then follow this guide:

Reader does not print from Windows 7 Pro 64.

When I try to print on a PC running on Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit I get the message "First install a printer.. etc"
I have two printers installed, one directly attached to the PC, the other through a home network. From the other PC 's no problem. They rum W7 home premium 32 bit. Printing goes fine with other applications on all PC 's.
Who knows the solution?

HI,
Look at Wifi Guy's post on 10-15-2009, titled Solved Photosmart C7280 All in One. Worked for me. Had been running around in circles for the last two weeks. Hope it works for you.
Good luck!

Printer sharing with Windows 7 64 bit

I am trying to install an HP laserjet 1320 printer connected to a Windows XP Pro 32 bit machine. Windows 7 goes out and tries to find the approriate drivers but reports that a suiable driver could not be found. The printer installs fine when connected to the Windows 7 machine via USB port. Downloaded and unzipeed the Universal print driver HP's site says is the correct driver - no luck. Tried installing using the share name - same error message.

I found that I had issues with getting all of these to work - individually. I have an XPPro (32) pc trying to print to Win7Ultimate printer - printer is shared with all settings wide open, works great with another 7 or Vista machine, but same errors
as above for XP. I got it to work an old way, and then the "local port" way worked. I don't really know why as yet, but I am investigating.
My Solution -
1. As stated in other posts, install the printer locally on the XP machine. Make sure that it prints.
2. Connect the printer to the 7 machine, print a test, then change the file and print sharing options to "yes". I also installed the "Universal Driver" for my printer - HP1200 Laserjet.
3. Make sure that the Network type that the 7 machine sees is "Work" or "Home", not "Public". - I don't know if this really did anything or not, but I did make the change - mine thought the network was "Public".
4. Go back to the XP machine, if you get errors when you add the "Local Port" as suggested, then do this -
Warning Old Dos Trick -
- Open a Command Prompt, then type (without quotes) "net use Lpt1 \\COMPUTERNAME\PRINTERSHARE " - where "computername" is the name of the computer and sharename is the shared name of the printer
on that computer.
- you SHOULD see "command completed successfully", if not check to make sure that you have rights on the 7 machine. Now you should be able to print a test page to the printer. CAUTION - it took awhile for the changes to
take, so you may have the hourglass looking at you for a few minutes. - Once you reboot this will not work as the connection is just for that session.
To explain: this command is the dos version of what happens when you re-route output to a different destination - thus any traffic to LPT1 goes to \\computername\sharename.
5. After this worked, I then could add the "local port", as detailed earlier and had no errors.
Hope this helps someone else!

Wireless printer sharing with windows 7 and vista operating systems.

hello can anyone help me?
i have a new HP pc with windows 7 OS, and have an epson PX710W 3in1 printer.
i want to connect a laptop with vista OS to share the printer (wireless set up).
the pc will print documents ok via wireless link, but when i power up the laptop it appears to inhibit the printing function (document will not print).
i have set up file/ print sharing but there is the problem. it appears to me that sharing is only possible between pc,s etc with windows 7 OS via the homegroup set up. Has anyone encountered this problem at all, has anyone any ideas? or is it a configuration problem that i'm not aware of?

I found that I had issues with getting all of these to work - individually. I have an XPPro (32) pc trying to print to Win7Ultimate printer - printer is shared with all settings wide open, works great with another 7 or Vista machine, but same errors

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

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw doesn't print under user account. Windows 7 Pro x86

Dear Sirs,
We found a bug using HP CLJ Pro MFP M177fw on windows 7 pro 32-bit edition.
In our company we use custom folder to keep temporary files of all user accounts. It is C:\temp. So in the environment variables window we have user variables TEMP and TMP with the C:\temp path. System variables TEMP/TMP are the same.
After installing MFP's driver, under accounts with administrator rights we can print normally. But when we use account with user rights print doesn't work. Trying to print windows test page, we receive error message "Test page failed to print" and spooler state is clean. When we change user variables TEMP/TMP on default %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp, we can print testpage successfully.
With older model HP CLJ Pro MFP M175 we have no trouble at our customized operating systems.
Can we hope on fixing print driver with regard to this problem?
Regards,

Unable to print to Canon iR-Adv C5045 from MacBook Pro that is connected to Windows computer and shared on the network

I am unable to print to a Canon iR-Adv C5045 from a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) that is connected to Windows NT computer and shared on the company network. I am connected to the network by ethernet.
I was able to add the printer manually by going to Advanced, Windows printer via spoolss, smb://computer name/printer name and used the Canon iR-ADV C5045/5051 driver.
When I print it appears to be printing but nothing comes out. I checked the completed jobs from the Print Queue and the job is listed. Checked the print log on the printer and it isn't listed. Is there a different driver I should be using for this configuration?

You may not have a choice as to what driver you can use. If the ADV C5045 only has the default UFR2 printer kit, then you will have to use the UFR2 driver - which is what you are using now. If you can access the copier, press the Counter Check button on the control panel. Then on the display you will see an entry labelled Check Device Configuration. Select this and scroll down through the pages. You are looking for an entry called PS. If you see it then the Canon does have the optional Postscript printer kit enabled and this will let you use an alternate driver. One suggestion would be to create the printer again using the same setting that you have done already but this time select the Generic Postscript driver included with the OS rather than use the Canon driver. This will help to determine if the driver is the cause.
If there is no PS option you will have to use the UFR2 driver and this could be the problem, as the Canon drivers don't always work well on a Mac via a Windows share. As a test, are you able to create a print queue directly to the Canon rather than via the Windows share? If you can, then this will let you check if the driver currently installed will work, as there can be settings on the copier that can block/stop you from printing. Assuming that you can print to the Canon with a direct connection from the Mac, then we can work on getting the printing via the shared queue. But if it doesn't print directly from the Mac, then it confirms that it may not be the server and more to do with the copier.

Printer sharing with windows

I'm having some issues with sharing a printer through my mac mini. When I first tried, it was as easy as checking the little "Share printer" box in the system prefs. All of a sudden though things just decided to stop working. I couldn't even print on the mac itself.
I've now got back to the point where I can print fine on the mac, and I've got file sharing going with samba too. But when I try to print from notepad on my windows XP box I just get the error message "A StartDocPrinter call was not issued." If I try to print with vim I get no response at all, just nothing happens.
Something also struck me as a bit odd, and that is that now in my printers list on the mac I have "i560" (my normal printer), but then two others both named "i560-1". I also get another printer to choose from on the windows machines in the print dialogue called "Auto i560 on MAC".
this is all on tiger 10.4.3.
any help much appreciated, would love to get this working finally. the mini is great for a server, so quiet!
cheers.

thanks alot buddy. seems i just had to remove all the printers+settings and do it all over again. I wish that page had a better page rank, i was fishing through google for ages. definately a bookmark.
cheers.
