Printer sharing stopped working on two macs

Sonos support i, n diagnosing a problem on my primary iMac , asked me shorten my system name on the iMac that controls my HP printer. I did  that. As a result, the printer sharing on my Mac Air ceased to work.Sure enough, the Mac Air was looking for the old IMac name. So I changed the " system name" for shared printing on the Mac Air. But that doesn't seem to restore shared printing. Anyone got ideas on what else I have to do ?

I recommend deleting your existing printer from System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, and adding it again. Better yet is to "reset the printing system" as described here: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
After you do that you will need to add the printer again according to the instructions here:

  • Printer Sharing stopped working with 10.5.4

    I was able to print remotely via Sharing to my Epson x8400 printer connected to my G5, no Isight iMAC, until I ran the latest update to 10.5.4. Epson sad the following:

    This issue seems to be with the Mac update, since this problem did not occur until after you updated. Please contact Apple.
    For optimal performance Epson tests and supports a direct connection from the printer to the Host PC/MAC. Although other methods are offered by third-party vendors Epson does not support or recommend this. Epson cannot guarantee consistent data transfer through any intermediate third-party devices. Because of the amount of information sent to the printer during a print job, it is necessary to have uninterrupted and consistent data flow. If you are experiencing communication errors while connected through any such device, you may want to contact the manufacturer.

    Problem. Mac OS 10.5.4 Printer is not accessable for remote printing. when accessed from a remote computer two printers are presented in the printer shared window one is not acessable to print and the when the other one is selected it reports an error. I have loaded and run your 10.5.3 update I have confermed this problem on one other system, also a powerPC MAc running 10.5.4.

    I'm having the same problem.
    My Epson CX-4200 printer won't print via printer sharing over my wi-fi anymore.
    I have the printer hooked directly to my intel iMac running 10.5.4.
    When I try and print from my Macbook via the default printer; the app I'm in at the time will crash before the print dialogue box opens up.
    My Macbook is also running 10.5.4. I have a US Robotic Max-G router.
    Network works great. File sharing still works.
    I've made no changes to my setup. I was able to get a couple docs to print yesterday after deleting an adding the printer back to each system. It printed very slowly but did work.
    This morning. Same problem; wont' print again. I tried repeating what I did yesterday. Still won't work.
    Whenever I try and print from my Macbook; the app I'm printing from will crash. Very annoying.
    This used to work without any problem before.

  • My Epson Printer has stopped working with my Mac Air

    I have asked Epson for support but they keep telling me the obvious about deleting the printer via settings and reinstalling again. There have been several updates from Epson at the same time so there is obviously a problem but this is getting ridiculous now. Has anyone had the same problem and how have you sorted it out.
    My Epson is Office Stylus BX635FWD.
    Thanks

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

    Is the printer attached to the computer or is it a network printer?

  • HT2463 Home sharing stopped working. Windows 8 Netgear wndr3700 router

    Have two AppleTv's that home sharing stopped working on. Windows 8 Pro, Netgear WNDR3700, Dell 9100 XPS. Have gone through two calls with Appletv support but no permanent fix. Homesharing says it's on. on the appletv's and itunes, all with the same id. One call had me power cycle my Cox cable modem, Netgear router, PC and Appletv's but no go. Second call had me disable Port scan and DOS protection plus change NAT filtering from Secured to Open.This worked for a couple day then nothing. Windows firewall is on, inbound trafic allowed from itunes.
    PS3 and iPhones work fine on wireless
    Anyone have other ideas? Thx.

    This definitely helped. Trying this pointed to my PC. Turned out airplay was not loading when iTunes was started up. Had to restart my PC and then airplay loaded when I started up itunes. Once airplay was active home sharing worked on all my ATV's. I'll have to monitor and see how long this lasts.

  • Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

    but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
    Instead they are greyed out now.

    If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
    So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

  • Screen sharing stopped working after last update

    Hello all,
    I have run software update yesterday, and there were about 10 downloads (I run this weekely, so these must have been new ones). The thing is that after installing all the updates, one of the features that I use more frequently, screen sharing, stopped working properly. I have a Mac Book Pro and an I Mac, both running on Snow Leopard, and screen sharing has always worked just fine, but not after the latest update.
    I checked passwords and they are all right, and also checked sharing properties and all seems to be fine. I can share files all right, but for screen sharing now is only possible by setting the option "anyone may request permission to control screen" (under sharing>screen sharing>computer settings) to on, and ask for authorization each time I need to share screens, not good, mainly if you have the computers in different rooms.
    Finally, I own an Me account, so I tried sharing screen via Back to my Mac, but it didn't work either.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks a lot,
    Luis

    Problem solved!
    After working with Apple, I have an answer. It looks like the 10.10.2 update changed your firewall settings. Try this:
    System Preferences>Security and Privacy>Firewall Options
    Scroll down the list till you find "screensharingd". If it's marked as block in coming connections, change it to allow incoming connections.
    Be sure to reboot your computer and you should be good to go!

  • My Canon Pixma iP8500 printer has stopped working with Mavericks

    Hi, my Canon Pixma iP8500 printer has stopped working in the past few days and I made no alterations that could explain why this might happen. I am using OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks on a Mac Pro desktop computer. I can print a test page when selecting it on my Canon Printer Utility from my desktop so it seems that there is contact between the computer and the printer but it will not print from iPhoto, Preview or Mail. When I select Print from any of these nothing happens and there is nothing on the Print List. I have checked the Printers & Scanners in my System Preferences and my Canon iP8500 is listed and highlighted as  Idle Default and Share this printer is ticked. I have tried deleting this printer then adding it but it still will not print. I would appreciate any helpful suggestions bearing in mind that I am fairly elderly and have a limited knowledge of IT and some of the terminology.
    Thank you,
    Colin.

    Hi, might try this...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
    Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.

  • HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006

    I just installed Windows® 8 Consumer Preview and my HP printer has stopped working. I am using the Laserjet p1006 and I have tried everything, reinstalling the printer, re-downloading drivers etc. but to no avail. Are there new drivers available that work with Windows 8?
    Update:
    The printer is installed and driver has been picked up by Windows but every time I try and print something, it gives me an error that the document could not be printed.
    Any suggestions

    Really Thanks God
    i Found solution of this problem Randomly only by praying
    The solution
    Connect The p1005 printer to a pc have windows 7 and print a page with it and get the cable connected to windows 8 after that and go to control panel > hardware and sounds > Device and printer > hp laser jet p1005 Right click > Printer properties > ports > uncheck bidirectional support then press ok and print ,, it works
    Note : after doing the pervious steps if u turned the printer off u will need to connect it to windows 7 pc again and print and connect it to windows 8 it will work without the pervious steps //

  • I own and work on two Mac computers.. a MacBook Pro and an iMac. Am I required to "purchase" the one-time in-App purchase of $4.99 TWICE, one for each computer..??

    I own and work on two Mac computers.. a MacBook Pro (dual core, 3.06GHz, 8 GBs RAM) and an iMac ((dual core, 3.06GHz, 4 GBs RAM). Am I required to "purchase" the Garageband one-time in-App purchase of $4.99 TWICE, one for each computer..??

    The answer to your question is not about the GarageBand content but the concept of downloading any apps (or in-apps purchases) from the app store. The Key is your Apple ID.
    Whenever you download an app (it doesn't matter if you pay for the app or if it is free) you have to to be logged in to the App Store with a valid Apple ID. That becomes your "Online License". Whenever you are logged in to the App Store with that Apple ID you will see your Purchase History, what apps you downloaded and also what apps have updates available. As you see, this procedure is independent from your actual computer. The App Store is only interested in your Apple ID for verification.
    To download an app or content on a different computer, just make sure you are logged in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you did for the initial purchase.
    The button will now display (instead of Free or the price tag) "Install" because the App Store knows that you purchased the item before (with that Apple ID) and that you computer you are on at the moment oesn't have th app installed. Just click the "Install" button to download the app.
    Here is how the Button looks like depending on the condition.
    The same principle applies to in-app purchases. With GarageBand, when you try to restore Purchases, make sure you are logged in in the Apple Store with the Apple ID you made the original purchase.
    One more thing: You don't need to be logged in to actually run an app, only for online activities (downloads, updates)
    Hope that helps

  • I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an iMAC. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe about this.  What do I do? Ed

    I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an IMAC and it doesn't work on that either. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe. What do I do? Thanks, Ed

    That because the activation servers were retired. Now for the good news:
    Adobe has provided a non-activation version of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for their CS2 license holders.
    Download the Mac version of Photoshop (not the suite) and copy down the serial number next to it.  Do not use your original serial number or cs2 disc.
    Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
    Uh... one more thing CS2 is PPC only.  OSX 10.6.8 has Rosetta to run legacy PPC products. 10.7 and above will not.
    Good luck,
