Printer server connection

I have a PBG4 12". I use a Samsung ML-1740. The printer is connected to my AEBS, I have been able to use it finesince I got this printer a year ago. However, since a couple weeks ago, the printer was not responding. >When I go to Network Diagnnostics, says: Network diagnostic was able to connect to the internet, but not to the serveer "Samsung ML-1740.PDL-datastream.tcp.local"
Any ideas?

C4210 via printer server connections problem

Hi,
I have a C4210 and I want to use it trough a USB printer server.
The printer server is a D-Link DNS 323 network storage.
I can see the printer in network, I can install it, but doesn't want to print.
This happen in Windows 7.
I already try to run your printer driver removal program and after install driver.
Looks like is a driver problem.
Under Windows XP work with drivers provide with the printer.
If you can indicate me a basic driver to work, I appreciate.
Thanks

Mac and Linksys Wireless Print Server

I have a wireless print server connected to an HP 940C that I cannot get my iMac to print to. It finds it on the network, but is not printing. Any ideas??

It is probably a driver issue.
It may work with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.
Though for 10.3, this guide may also help.

Linksys Wireless Print server and my Mac G4

I just set up my linksys wireless print server and it's printing from my PC just fine - not so on my G4. My printer is a Canon Pixma ip5200, and the appropriate drivers etc are installed.
I know the IP address and have tried setting up the printer via IPP (and pinged it from the mac successfully). Just no success printing. The printer utility looks like it is printing to the printer but nothing comes out.
Any ideas?

You won't be able to get this to work.
The Canon printer drivers won't allow you to connect to and print to a Canon printer attached to a wireless print server.
There is no solution, there is no way that this can work
You have three solutions.
Replace the Canon printer with another printer for which the drivers will work.
Replace the Canon printer with a networked Canon printer such as the iP4000r (or any other network printer) in which case you won't need the print server
Connect the Canon printer directly via USB to the computer to print.

Trouble printing to a parallel printer over a router via a print server

My G5 and my Windows laptop once happily coexisted (past tense) using a Linksys Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41) which also fed a Linksys PPSK1 10/100 Ethernet Print Server connected to my trusty dusty NEC SuperScript 1800, one of the greatest monochrome laser printers ever made (1200 DPI and lightning fast!) featuring only a parallel interface. This nifty arrangement allowed me to print over the router and through the print server to the Superscript. Then one fateful day, OS X 10.4.1 installed itself on the G5 via Software Update. This most recent OS had some kind of personal problem with the Linksys router and nothing I did could not settle their petty squabble. After 45 minutes on the phone with a Linksys guy named "Raj" I gave up. I bought a NetGear Cable/DSL Router (RP614) and magically, my PC and my Mac started getting along, happily cruising the net together once again. But the Linksys print server must have gotten jealous: He refused to work with the new Netgear in town. I have now laid the foundation for my question: Does anyone know how I might get the Linksys Print Server to play nice and let documents printed over the Netgear router find their way to the NEC Superscript?
Thanks loads.

Greg,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I added another printer using LDP protocol, specified the address as 192.168.1.100, Identified the que as "LPT", then, on a hunch, clicked the "More Printers" button. The dialog box defaults to AppleTalk in the Local AppleTalk Zone and after a brief moment the "Name" of the printer appeared as SCF** (Hex) which, lo and behold, is the name of the PPSX1 as printed on the bottom of the device! At this point I selected the NEC's PostScript print driver and VOILA! Super duper 1200 DPI PostScript output, just like the old days!
Man...whew! Thanks again. Your Guru status is well-deserved.
Regards,
Bill

6122 printer & ew2400 print server

We have a Deskjet 6122 and EW2400 printer server connected to wireless router. No longer able to wirelessly print from my Thinkpad. A blank page spews from printer. Can print from my Macbook and from our other PC though. When connected directly to printer it does print. I've disconnected/reconnected printer, print server, router. I'vve uninstalled/reinstalled printer driver and rebooted numerous times. I'm able to wirelessly print to another printer (at my office), but cannot print wirelessly here at home. Suggestions????

It appears the product you have is a commerical LaserJet.
I recommend posting in the commercial LaserJet forums.

Powerbook and Linksys print server

Hello All,
I have a question which I believe I know what he answer is. I have a new Powerbook. right now, I am using a Linksys Print Server connected to a Epson inkjet printer. This is networked in my home windows environment. When you add a new pc etc, the Epson drivers are installed first than the Print server drivers. However, it seems there are no Mac driver etc for the Print server per Linksys. So basically, am I stuck with adding a dedicated printer to the powerbook or taking the print server out of the equasion here and letting one of my windows pc be the print server. No an option that I really wanted.
Thanks,
AlRoz

Al,
Before you do all that, try some of the options Tiger gives you. In the Applications folder there is a Utilities Folder. In there there is a Printer Setup Utility. Open it, and click Add. At the top there is a Default Browser and IP Printer. Click IP Printer. In this window you should be able to set up the connections so your powerbook can talk to your printer thru the ethernet printer server.
Hope this helps

D-link DPR 1260 Print Server nightmare

I have a D-link DPR 1260 print server connected via ethernet to my network. I have set it up so I can print to an Epson Picturemate240 from a PC running XP. This works fine.
I have read all the posts everywhere on the DPR 1260 and so far nothing can make it print from the imac, running Leopard. I can add the printer using LPD and the print servers ip address and printer queue name but nothing happens.
I get the following error /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.1 failed, does this mean there is a problem with the mac before to gets to the print server?
If I cannot solve this problem now it is going in the bin!
I have not attempted to set it up wirelessly yet as there is no point unless I can print from a Mac.

Thanks for the info Greg
I reset the printing system but I still get the same error message. I tried using HP and LPD but still no luck.
If I connect the printer directly to the mac I can print fine and I have two other network printers connected directly to the network which work fine. It is only when I connect a printer to the print server that it goes wrong.
any other ideas?

I want to know if Ican connect a print server (to print with several wireless printers) to the new airport express given that it has wan and lan ports. Tks!

The print server that I want to connect allows me to choose among 2 usb printers and 01 serail port printer. It needs to be connected to a router through a lan port. Given that the all new airport express now come with a wan and a lan port, i want to know if I can connect this device to the airport express.

You're welcome.
Beware that while USB print servers are commonly available and inexpensive, finding one with a serial port is more of a challenge. Apple Stores in the US do not sell them. Call the iStore before going there.
If you need recommendations for obtaining a print server with a serial port, let me know.

Problem with scanning - printer display shows "Server connection error"

My printer has been working great and I have had no problems with scanning. But two days ago, all of a succen I rec'd message "server connection error". I tried to send to email as well as computer. Got the same message. As usual, I don't recall any action on my part that could have caused this problem. The copying and printing functions work fine. Detailed advice to someone technically challenged will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Ran
into a problem with connecting to the DB on the SQL server from the IPAM server. The Dba and I checked the target SQL instance was enabled TCP and listening on a valid TCP port. SQL server was set to use port 1443 for incoming connections.
IPAM was set by default to use 1433.
Also used
netstat-n to identify issue and verified 1443 on SQL server was
being used. Made the correction under the IPAM provisioning wizard and connected to the database. Fixed.
Important note I was able to connect to the database with a .udlfile
without any issues
Also note that 2012 R2 IPAM only supports 2012 SQL Enterprise. Why?

Windows 7 client can't connect to Server 2008 R2 Print Server VM (ESXi 5.5)

I have an issue today that is driving me bonkers.
I recently came on-board to a company in my area as the system administrator and this network has everything and the kitchen sink wrong with the network layout, probably the worst I've seen and I'm slowly but surely fixing it day by day.....
Well today I decided I was going to spin up another VM from a template and make a Print Server, seems harmless right? --- I thought so too, added all of the printers to the server and did test pages, all was dandy, but then I tried to add the printers to
clients and other server and the real fun has begun, I'm truly perplexed now...
I added a VM to my esxi 5.5 cluster at work that is a 2008 R2 server with only print management on it. I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via
DNS. I can test printers directly from the print server successfully printing out test pages however whenever I try to map printers you know from the directory in 'devices and printers' from any of the Windows 7 clients or any of the other 2003/2008 servers
I get the classical "Windows cannot connect please check the network connection and make sure sure the printer is turned on". I disabled the windows firewall and I made the point to print GPO set to disabled and still no luck. Again I can print to
all of the printers internally inside of the VM (so I know it communicating to all of the printers), I just can't connect to the printers listed in the directory on any of external desktop/client, it's like so annoying. spent about 6 hours until my brain just
couldn't think anymore, was about to go BS on the VM.
The only thing I can think of, as I was driving home, is that there is a GPO on one of the DC that has a desginated print server policy set. But prior to last week the forest leve was 2000 and now it's 2003. I just don't know Server 2000 enough to know if GPO's
worked in the same way they do in 2003.
Right now printers are connected to other servers in a ad hoc mentality it seems, there has never been a true print server.
Anyone ever have this problem before?
I'm truly puzzled...

Hi Mid.Hudson-IT,
Before we begin ,we should ensure we have configured the printer server correctly .
Here is a link for reference of configuring the printer server .
Print server role: Configuring a print server
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775791(v=ws.10).aspx
"I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via DNS"
From this sentence ,I can`t figure out whether you have tried to ping the server both with the IP adress and name adress from the client ?
If we can ping the print server from the client,we can ensure the connection to the printer server is good .
Then we can try to install the printer driver directly to have a check .In the adress bar of Windows Explorer ,input "\\server name \the printer name"
If we cannot ping the print server ,we should troubleshoot the network issue firstly.
We also can check the event viewer for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
Best regards

Lion 10.7.5 cant connect to printer via Buffalo print server

Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end with this one having spent over 20 hours on it.
I have a Macbook Air running Lion 10.7.5 and a Macbook running OSX 10.6.8. I have a Photosmart 8050 printer attached to a Buffalo Linkstation Live LS-CH1 running firmware 1.60 (the latest version for this model). The Linkstation has a printserver which is attached via USB to the printer, the Linkstation is attached to a wireless router, for amound other things, wireless printing.
The long and the short of my problem is, I can get the Macbook running 10.6.8 to print without a problem, works fantastic, but I can not get the Air running 10.7.5 to print through the print server even though the printers are installed the very same way on both machines. The error from the print que is "unable to connect to printer" even though it seems to connect successfully to the Linkstation, as in my setup a username and password must be entered to access the printer, even though a user is logged in to the file server. Not to get confused, I am 99% convinced the problem is with the Macbook Air running 10.7.5.
I installed the printers using the Windows method, Workgroup -> Linkstation -> Printer then selecting the HP 8000 series driver version 5.0.4. I have also tried every other install method available, however as I understand it, this is the recommended method for this print server setup.
I have checked the network setup, driver versions and even though it does not seem to cover my printer have GutenPrint 5.2.9 installed.
The printer does work when connected directly to USB however.
If anyone has any idea why I cant get the Macbook Air running 10.7.5 to print via the print server on the Linkstation when 10.6.8 works perfectly, then please HELP!
Thank you

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait for few minutes.
Connect the router back to to the wall.
Power the router back on. Wait until all lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

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.

Unable to connect wireless print server while using wireless modem to ISP

Unable to connect an HP Laserjet 1320 thru the JetDirect ew2400 External Print Server to an imac G5 that uses the 2WIRE352 modem for ISP access thru ATT. Either the ISP is connected and works, or the printer works but no internet access. HP (after 1hr 15 min.) said I need to change/access the "infrastructure" in the OSX. Is that correct? & if so, how do I do this? Do I need to hire Apple Tech Support to do this? How much will that cost. I'm ready to send the Print Server back to HP for a refund.

I would post your issue in the Printing & Faxing forum area. More chance for some of the gurus like Greg Sahli to respond.

How to connect to Linksys Wireless Print Server (WPS54GU2) from WIndows 7

I tried the Print Server Utility that was loaded from the WPS54GU2 user install disk. Ended up with an AddPort error.
Went ahead and created local printer for printer I was trying to get to (Epson Color Stylus 400). Did a "Printer Properties" on the printer after it is was created and clicked on the "Port" tab. Clicked on the "Add Port" button and selected "Standard TCP/IP Port" from list. Clicked on "New Port" . Wizard came up and clicked "Next" on this screen. I typed in the IP address of my Print Server (with no Port Name) and let it search for a while and it eventually failed. A screen came up requesting "additional port information" so I clicked on the "Custom" button and then clicked on the"Settings" button. Here I typed in the correct port name (which in my case was like LKxxxxxx where the x's are numerics). The IP address is already filed in. I checked the LPR button and made up a Queue Name and typed it into the Queue Name text box.
After clicking OK I tried printing to the printer and everything seemed to work correctly.

I have the same issue as I have a new Windows 7 machine that is hardwired to my Linksys WPS54G. This is my main office PC and I have other computers throughout the house that are connected wirelessly to the WPS54G. I've tried to create a new port for printing based on the posts from other users but it still won't work. I've run the Linksys configuration and my PC sees the printer server. Am I missing a step?
Here is what I've done
Go to ports
Add new port
Standard TCP/IP Port
Click new port (Wizard comes up)
Enter printer name and IP address ( I enter my IP address for the Print Server 192.168.1.x)- Port name is same as IP Address (does this matter?)
Go to custom settings and set for LPR with Queue name of LP1 (or should it be L1?)
LPR Byte count box checked
Click next and finish
Do I need to restart my computer?
What am I missing
Thank you
