Printer/networking question

I have a Canon ip4500 printer connected to my Time Capsule. Time capsule is connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme. My PowerBook G3 (running latest OS10), sees the printer just fine but when printing to it I consistently get a message "network busy, try again in "X" seconds." (little yellow triangle with exclamation mark shows on printer icon), but the job never will print. I have reinstalled the correct printer driver, deleted and re-added the printer in the printer preferences, ran disk utility to fix preferences, and tried restarting several times. What is causing this "networking" issue and how do I fix it?
Thanks

krlytle,
Try this...
Unplug the TC from the wall outlet.
Wait 10-15 seconds.
Re-plug in the TC again.
After it has restarted (30-60 seconds), try printing again.
Otherwise...

    Hi
    Iam facing a problem in printing Network shop papers
    T-code CN22/CN23
    after entering in to network in CN22/CN23 select menu path as below
    path : Network - Print - Shop papers
    we have many network in a project , there we are printing shop papers for all network as shown in path.
    After taking print shop papers the system status PRT(print) is updated in one network and in all remaining network PPRT(part print) is updated , but we are unable to take print shoppapers of the network which is having PRT status.
    But the question here is how the PRT staus is updated in only one network since we are taken print of other network also.
    can we change this system status , or is there any other way to tek print of that particular network having status PRT.
    expect your early help on this as this critical issue.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • Switching from internet network to printer network to print

    I have a Macbook Pro that I use and also a new Macbook that my grandparents use. We share an HP printer. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust snow leopard so that when i decide to print i don't have to go to the airport menu and change to my printer network and then when i am ready to continue browsing the internet i have to switch back to my internet network which is my dsl box which is wireless to be able to browse the internet. I hope i have explained this clear enough but if not write me back and i will try and explain it better this is my first time on here. Any help would be much appreciated
    ElijahBlue

    You need to connect the printer to the dsl modem/router if possible.
    This way both of you can use the printer.
    There only needs to be one network for all devices.

  • Hey Everyone...  I have a networking Question...

    Ok well its more then just one networking question...
    I'm working on a game engine (2d) and for the time being it just has two blocks in a 600 by 480 area, both controled by user input on a single comp. I would like to change this so that i can have the blocks be controled by sepeart computers. I know this is possible I just dont know how, any help would be great.
    My experience with Java is some what limited i've only been programing for the past 6 months and i've never messed with any network code before.
    Any and all help would be great
    Thanks
    Mike

    Boy, that other poster was really helpful, yes? :-P
    What you probably want to do is open a "socket" between one computer and the other. (TCP is probably the easiest/best for your application, as opposed to UDP). This is actually pretty simple, and basically consists of:
    (this client/server arrangement is the easiest. Peer-to-peer would work too, but is generally more complex.)
    1. Computer A decides to become the server and opens a java.net.ServerSocket on port 1234.
    2. Computer B opens a java.net.Socket to computer A's port 1234.
    3. Computer A accepts the connection and gets a java.net.Socket from the ServerSocket.
    4. Now anything computer A writes to the Socket is recieved by computer B, and vice-versa. This is a TCP connection and is stream-based, so it should be familiar if you've done any Java I/O before; in face, you can use java.io.Reader's and Writers, and so on with your Socket.
    See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/ for a good introduction to sockets.

    How To Disable A Wireless Printer Network Setting (SSID) On A HP L7700  Previousley Set Up

    Hello @flamek2,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are trying to disable the wireless settings on your Officejet pro L7700 series printer.
    I would like to help.
    To erase the printers network information, go into the Setup menu.
    Then go into the Network menu.
    Select restore network defaults.
    If you want to disable wireless altogether, then go into setup and choose network.
    Select wireless radio, and turn it off.

  • Share files in ibook - networking question

    Hello, I have a networking question.
    I have a brand spakin' new 13' MacBook Pro and an older 14' iBook G4 (with a broken airport wireless card).
    My internet is set up so that I have the modem connected to a "wired" ethernet hub, then to an airport express. This way I have wireless for my new MacBook Pro, and I can connect my old iBook to the internet with a ethernet cable.
    Herein lies my question: I want to access all my files on my ibook from my MacBook Pro. I've tried the file sharing and etc on system preferences, but for some reason it still doesn't work. I believe its because they are on different networks? (one wireless, one wired?)
    Any ideas to make my ibook a simple file server.

    Try repairing disk permissions.
    *"The external HD has two partitions, one is a backup of the ibook, and the other has mixed media. When I access my ibook over the network, Only the backup partition appears, and not the mixed media partition. "* Try repairing permissions but not sure if that's going to work. Can't hurt to try.
    Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Also, your profile indicates you are running 10.4.3. If that is the case, you might want to run Software Updates (from the Apple Menu , then click Software Updates.

  • Where do i find my hp Officejet 4500 G510n-z printer network name (ssid) ?

    How do I make my printer work?  It stopped responding 2 weeks ago and will not print from the print command.  It will print a wireless test report, so it is capable.  Please help...

    Your printer network name (ssid), is the name of YOUR network.
    When you print out the wireless test report, does it show connected, or gives IP address?
    Here is a link below that may help you resolve this issue.

  • Wireless printer network

    My cell phone and tablet sometimes lock onto the wireless printer network instead of the Internet wireless network in my home. This occurs randomly and it has nothing to do with printing. I have to manually chose the correct network. Any suggestions to configure the printer so the phone doesn't pick that nerwork automatically? The phone is a LG G3 from Verizon.

    You need to disable Wireless Direct in the printer.

  • Wireless Network/printing Newbie Questions....

    Okay, first of all I love Airport and OSX Tiger on my new MacBook. I recieve a strong wireless internet connection in my Los Angeles apartment, and I have NO idea where it's coming from! (my neighbors? The police station across the street,? Just in the air?!?)
    I want a wireless printer. My apple store highly recommended either an Airport Extreme or Express with a printer attached to the USB port...
    My question is this: If I just buy a laser printer with built in wireless (802.11b/g) network capability (say the HP LaserJet 1022NW), can I just set up my MacBook to communicate directly to the printer with Airport via the 802.11b/g standard? I notice the Airport menu gives me a "Create Network" option...?
    Is it this easy?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I notice the Airport menu gives me a "Create Network" option...?
    This option is for creating computer-to-computer (ad-hoc) networks utilizing either the AirPort menu or Internet Connect for creating and connecting to this type of network.
    It may be possible for a wireless printer, which supports the "ad-hoc" network type, to connect to the "computer-to-computer" network. (With "ad-hoc," as opposed to an "infrastructure" network type, the wireless network would not require a router or access point.)

  • Wireless Network Printing; "Network is Busy", Cannot ping printer from my Macbook Pro

    I have a MBP (Mac OSX 10.6.8, Intel i7) connected wirelessly to a Actiontec Q1000 wireless router.  The wireless router has a printer connected via a LAN ethernet cable.  I am able to log in to the router (192.168.0.1) and see the printer (192.168.0.8), and from the router's Utilities I can ping the printer using the router's ping tool.  I am unable to ping the printer from my MBP.  I am unable to log into the printer's IP address by typing in 192.168.0.8 in my browser window.
    I also have a Windows laptop connected to the same wireless network.  From the router, I can see the Window's laptop (192.168.0.10) and the Windows laptop can ping the printer (again, 192.168.0.8).  Additionally, from the Windows laptop I can log into the printer's IP address by typing in 192.168.0.8 in my browser window.
    The printer is a Dell 1700n and I am using the "Generic Postscript Printer Driver".  I am able to delete the printer, and then add it back in as a USB connected printer and print fine.  I then delete the printer and add it back in as a network printer (192.168.0.8) and am then unable to print.  I am getting an error that says "Network is busy, will retry in ___ seconds".  I then get a error message that says the "Printer is busy".
    Using the MBP's "Network Utility's" ping tab, I am able to ping the router (192.168.0.1), the other Windows laptop (192.168.0.10), my Roku (192.168.0.7), etc.  I am unable to ping the printer (192.168.0.8).
    From my Window's CMD prompt, I am able to ping the router (192.168.0.1), my MBP (192.168.0.5), my Roku (192.168.0.7) and the printer (192.168.0.8).  I am also able to print wirelessly from my Window's laptop (192.168.0.10).
    I have looked for a CUPS printer driver for my Dell 1700n printer, but there is only a CUPS printer driver for the Dell 1710n printer (which is different).
    I have also googled around and found that the Dell 1700n is an old Lexmark E322 printer, so I installed the CUPS Lexmark E322 printer driver.  I then try to print wirelessly from my MBP and nothing.
    This is clearly a network MBP issue, and I have searched the forums but have been unable to track down a solution.  I would appreciate anyone's help to enable me to:
    1.  Be able to ping my printer (192.168.0.8),
    2.  Be able to log in to my printer via a web browser (http://192.168.0.8), and
    3.  Be able to print wirelessly to the printer from my MBP.
    Does anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance,
    MC

    So I spent almost 3 hours on a share session with Lexmark, who I must say I was incredibly impressed with their patience.  Long story short, my wife and I have the exact same MBPs.  Her MBP was printing fine to the same printer.  The tech and I verified that all of our network settings were identical.  At the end of the day, the solution was power cycling the router.  Poof.  Magic.  No idea why the power cycle worked, but it worked and I now have a solution.  Let me know if anyone has any questions about all of the steps in between.

  • Networking Question

    I have a T400 with Vista Business that has a couple of networking issues.
    First, I have a lot of trouble of dropping connections using wireless, probably related to other threads here about the Intel 5300 AGN adaptor. This does not happen when wired.
    More annoying is a problem I have when either wired or wireless where "Network discovery and file sharing" is always turned off, every time I want to access the network. I turn it on and then "make this network a private network" and I can see other devices on the network, HOWEVER they still can't discover my T400. I have several other "Vista" PC's running on the network without this issue.
    I realize this might be more of a Vista issue than a T400 hardware issue, but thought I would throw it out here since the wireless dropouts do appear to be hardware or T400 driver related and I suppose the network discovery issue might be related too, I just don't know.

    You need to change the power saving settings in the properties of your WLAN card, not to save power, and also disallow windows from turning the card off in order to save power.
    There is a setting in Access Connections which can influence file
    and printer sharing. If you look at the profile's further settings,
    there is an entry for network security, file and printer sharing needs
    to be activated.
    I think this is a great feature of AC as it
    will override the windows settings, you can choose to allow or block in
    each profile; e.g. allowed at home, but blocked at the Airport or Hotel.
    Hope this helps

  • Printer networking issue between 32 bit and 64 bit windows 7 computers

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909G printer that I'm trying to network between 2 pcs, both on Windows 7.  One is a 32 bit and the other is a 64 bit.
    The printer won't stay available to both pcs.  I've tried having it directly connected to the router and directly connected to one of the pcs (done with both computers).  It will work initially but won't stay available to both pcs.  Right now I've given up and just unplug and plug in the usb cable for whichever pc wants to be able to print, which is becoming a pain.
    Help!
