Printer setup question

Hi all,
we want to use loftware label printing and setup all in ME and in loftware so far.
When use a windows printer there is now alias for the printer available, so the printer in Loftware is :
servername\printer01" but unfortunatly this name is not allowed to use with me because of the backslashes.
Any idea how het the right name in *.pas file or to setup #Printernumber in ME?
regards,
Karsten

Hello,
As per the setup we had used our printer name were never like "
server name\printer name"
The simple reason behind it was we need to have network printer with ethernet port available, these printer have to installed directly on network. (Zebra) so we always have the printer name directly available in network.
I guess this is the only solution to this problem.

Canon MP 620 printer setup question

Hi, I have installed the network and drivers for my Canon MP 620. I have used the wireless connection utility to see how good the connection between the time capsule and the printer. I use the printer wirelessly but every so often I can't print to it so I have to plug the printer back into the computer, put the Canon Install disk into the Computer, re-install the network and drivers, restart the computer, follow the wireless connection wizard and then I can print to it.
My question is: Do I have to do this every time I want to access the setup wizard? Is the setup wizard already on my computer? Also is there some way of accessing the wireless connection tool without having to put the install disk in the computer?
Thanks guys

Update: I found it: the network and printer tools are located in Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter and it's in Utilities

Bran New to Mac - Printer and Printer Setup Question

I am very new to Macs, and I'm getting a Macbook Pro when Leopard comes out.
Would I need a certain printer for the laptop and a certain connector that I would need to buy seperatly for it?
-Shaun

Hi Shaun
Congratulations on the Macbook Pro!
Almost every modern printer will work just fine with the laptop. Most commonly, you would get one with a USB connection, which will attach directly to the laptop. Such a printer could also connect to an Airport Extreme/Express, and then you could print wirelessly. Make sure that the printer comes with a USB cable, or buy one - it'll likely have a "square" USB connection for the printer, and a "flat" connection for the Macbook's USB port.
Some printers also have network connections, so they can attach to a network device (like a router) and the Macbook would be able to discover and print to it, but this is more common with larger printers such as office laserjets.

That was the next question. I just went through 5 hours of frustration with a new printer and cable on a Canon MP780. The cable was bad. It works great with a good cable.

How to get a newHP driver to appear in the Printer Setup Dropdown box?

I asked this question in a slightly different way in another thread, but I think it was too specific. The problem is that I installed the new driver for an HP OfficeJet 6110 and it works fine via USB, but it is ultimately a remote printer. The wireless Print server works fine with another windows PC and I can ping it via the Mac and get it to spool with the generic driver (gibberish). HP mounts the driver like an application and it doesn't appear in the Printer Setup as one of the options, and I don't know how to get it to appear there. I've searched the forums and Gimp appears to work on Epson/Canon, etc., but not HP, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Attempting to add a printer, Stylus Photo R200 (USB OS 10.4.11) to the Printer List I get the same error message, "client=error-request-value-too-long". I've reinstalled drivers multiple times to no avail.
Somebody out there know what to do?

Printer setup utility- driver not appearing in list

Hi - I have installed a Canon printer driver (latest version as I checked), restarted my new MacBook (with updated OSX) but the driver does not appear in the list when i try to set printer up. Printer is connected to USB. It is a Canon Pixus iP7500. Latest driver is 4.1.9 - I checked.
I think my question is - how do i get the driver to appear in the Utility's list?
Thanks.

For the Canon PIXMA drivers (or PIXUS in Japan), the Print Using menu is meant to automatically change to Canon IJ Printer when it detects the USB connected printer. If it doesn't change, you cannot manually browse to it like you can for other drivers.
Often the cause of the correct driver not being selected is that the software hasn't installed correctly. Following is some steps that I have used myself and offered to others that has resolved this problem.
1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the file Canon iPxxxx xxx.pkg
5. Empty the Trash
6. Restart the Mac
7. Install the latest version of the Canon driver (which you have).
8. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
9. Open Printer Setup Utility. If the printer is not already displayed, click Add.
10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
11. Click Add to add the printer.
If the Canon IJ Printer doesn't appear automatically then please reply.

AE found in admin utility but printer not in printer setup utility

Have Linksys wrt54g with AE connected via ethernet cable (only way I've found to connect to the existing network). AE light is solid green and it is in the admin utility. I see the printer listed in the summary page in the admin utility. At this point I would think that I could find my printer listed in the printer setup utility. It was not there under bonjour or any other place. I down loaded a new driver. The printer is an HP photosmart 7760. I must be missing a step... oh and by the way I did not select connect to my existing network, that did not work. I guess my question is this. Is there some "trick" or step that I need to do so my printer shows up?
Thank you, msw3636

If the HP 2.7 driver is not available then...
Use the process outlined here:
HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing

Using the HPIJS drivers.

go to applications/utility/airport setup utility and configure your express. If the program finds your Linksys then your good to go. Bonjour will take care of the rest.

Having successfully reinstalled hp inkjet printer Photosmart 6520 it doesn't show up anywhere on the computer; not can I find Printer Setup. Help! newo

Having reinstalled an accidentally deleted HP inkjet printer Photosmart 6520, I can't find it anywhere on the computer, nor can I find Printer Setup. Your help valued,

Eric, I'm sorry not to be much help. As I'm not technically minded I was finding it hard to follow Paul's questions and he sorted it himself, but did say that it was to do with configuration.

Epson 785EPX Photo printer setup in Tiger

A customer of mine has an Epson Photo 785EPX, and when they upgraded to Tiger, it appears that it switched to the Gimp-Print 5.0.0 drivers. Nowhere in Print Setup nor Page Setup could I find a place to clean the ink heads. Three questions, does Gimp-Print give that ability somewhere?
Do the drivers on:
ftp://ftp.epson.com/drivers/epson10505.sea.hqx
Work with Tiger? I wasn't about to test it on my customer. Someone with a backup or someone who uses these drivers which are only rated as good through 10.2.1 in Tiger, it would be helpful to know if they are compatible with Tiger, or there is a better place to get them? And will these drivers give me control over the printer's inkjet head cleaning?

It appears Epson may be updating the drivers for this printer after all:

We'll see what happens when they do.

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.

Need help to find printer setup utility

I recently bought my first Mac and have slowly been adding to it over the last couple of weeks. Today I added a new printer that I wish to connect wirelessly. The printer is a Brother MFC-3360. I installed the software that came with the printer and had the printer connected directly to the Mac Book. It printed just fine.
I then disconnected the USB cable and plugged it into the Extreme Base station. It failed to print. According to the Extreme manual, I need to open printer setup utility, located in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Then from there I need to add the printer.
The problem is, I have no printer setup utility. Is there another place where it might be located?
Any other ideas will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Found problem. Went to Sys prefs -> Printers and Fax -> removed my printer and re-installed. Works like a charm.

Printer Setup for HTML reports (Landscape)

I'm trying to print an HTML report in Landscape, the Report Orientation VI only works with Standard Reports, and I can't find anything that will let me modify the "Printer Setup"
Anyone done this?

Jeff,
To print an HTML report it first has to be rendered. To render HTML, you need a browser. For example, you can render HTML in either Internet Explorer or Firefox or Opera, and all three might render the same data slightly differently. To simplify the situation let's say that you're using IE. Once IE renders the HTML, you then have to get it to send the rendered output to the printer. So you can see why it isn't time or cost-effective for NI to try and necessarily support these functions. For the end user however, I'd guess that quite a few people have had this problem.
I have had to do a lot of digging around to get HTML reports to print right. My solution has been to use an ActiveX container with an IWebBrowser2 object (Internet Explorer). This will let you load and print HTML reports programatically however (glancing back over some old code) I don't see immediately how you can print a report in Landscape. With an ActiveX container however you can call the IE print preview function which will let you (the user) modify the report printing to Landscape. It's not a programmatic solution since you have to interact with the GUI but it works. Also, once you set the setting to Landscape, everything printed afterwards using your ActiveX container will also print in Landscape.
Something else which may not apply to you (but maybe--I'll at least mention it) is printing a landscape single image... that's usually why I needed to print landscape... to print out a full page screenshot of a graph or something. I do this in portrait mode by just attaching the control image but rotating it first and adding the HTML code to make it 100% of the vertical page.
Last but not least, if you are 100% set on using a programmatic implementation to print a landscaped report (no user interaction), the best thing to do would be to build on an ActiveX implementation so that your report is being loaded and printed from an embedded IWebBrowser2 object. With the IWebBrowser2 object there is an option for using a pre-defined print template. This option is NOT for the faint of heart and requires you basically to re-program the whole IE print-preview functionality. However, it's not impossible either, it just takes the time of learning basically how the IE print preview interface works and then adapting it to your application (in this case, landscaped printouts). This is also the ONLY way to change HTML report headers and footers. The print preview interface in IE is written entirely in javascript--you can get details on msdn (search for "print preview templates"). However, there isn't really enough info there to do things with any ease. So....
If you get to the point where you get an ActiveX container working and want to fool with the IE print preview javascript templates, let me know. I have extracted the entire template and associated images from the windows DLL it is stored in so I could adapt it and change the headers and footers for my reports and things of that nature.
Now that I mention it, I believe that is the only way also to actually set landscape or portrait--by programmatically changing the printing margins (so it prints 11x8.5 instead of vice versa).
Anyway, hope that helps...

Why doesn't the HP printer show up in the printer setup utility?

Can't understand why the HP2100 TN laserjet printer that is networked(ethernet) via a Snow basestation does not automatically show up in my list of printers. I also downloaded HP's drivers for it.
My boyfriend's Powerbook running 10.3 is able to automatically see it, and it showed up as "shared" on my computer when his laptop is up and running. I tried Appletalk etc. He got it running using IP printing and having the IP address, but he told me it should have just showed up.
I'm new to the Mac so I don't understand this. According to the config page he printed Appletalk is active on the printer its selected on my networking page.
Any help apprciated.

My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printer can no longer find my wireless network. My MAC is, Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and Canon LAN printer setup routine many time. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printercan no longer find my wireless network. (It worked fine until recently) I have a Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and the Canon LAN printer setup routine many times. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.
