Printer Sharing to XP Network

Sorry if this has been covered before but I've searched high and low and just can't find a straight answer for this.
I have an HP 2575 All-in-One that is currently attached to my network via the router although it comes up on a submenu of the desktop PC. I think this is because I have only installed the HP software/driver package on the PC due to it's bulk (and would prefer not to have it installed in 3 places).
When booting XP, I can print through the network (only when the desktop is online) but am having great difficulty in getting OSX to print successfully. I have tried to connect it several times via the printer utility but this model doesn't appear on the HP drivers. I have downloaded Gutenprint 5.0 but that doesn't show this model either! I have read the iFelix pages but I don't seem to get the same response from my system that he does so can't get through it - I've also seen that some others have used a different driver (one from the HP drop down menu) but then can't use the scanner/copier and full functionality of the device.
Now my questions:
1. Is there any way to avoid installing the whole HP package and still have full functionality of the AiO?
2. In order to properly network the printer (so the desktop doesn't need to be there) am I going to have to install the software on OSX anyway, and then fully install the XP package on the Windows partition?
Thanks to those who have any knowledge in these matters...
MacBook 2.0 Core2Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Do you mean the printer is plugged into a USB print server port on the router?
You always have to install a driver to get the functionality...
But unfortunately the driver IS THE PROBLEM with your network plan.
FYI:
Network printing/Windows printing only works with a driver that was meant for network printing. To use the OS X built-in CUPS network choices, you need a CUPS driver. For postscript printers, it's not an issue, because postscript is the native output of OS X, and can easily be routed to the various choices in Printer Setup.
Non-postscript printers are Very Different. Except for Brother, no manufacturer has provided CUPS drivers. Instead, what you get are Carbonized, OS9 legacy drivers, that have the comm protocol written into the driver (mostly USB). They can only print via local connection.
**An Exception - when printing via an Airport/Bonjour enabled print server, where the software does a port redirection, USB output from the Mac gets routed to the USB port on Airport Express/Extreme. But only printing works with Express/Extreme...
With OS X, the only way to get the networked AIO functionality is to buy an AIO with ethernet or wireless built-in. In that case, the manufacturer provides a driver that can give you the functionality over the network.

File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks on Windows server 2008

Hi Expert,
I found that the properties of File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service disabled after I install the windows server 2008 64bits. I tried to install that service via adding the file and printer sharing services in the properties of local area connection, but it doesn't contain any service in the popup box. Also, no such service file available in the disk when I tried to install the service from installation disk of windows server 2008 64bits. Is the file "sacsrv.dll" corresponding to the service name of file and printer sharing? I found it is in the directory of "Windows\system32". I have no idea about where is the problem? Do I miss some components? Please tell me what can I do for it? Thanks!
Best Wishes,

Do any experts know the reason of this problem? Thanks!

Script to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks

Hi, I am trying to find a way of using a batch file or vbscript to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks on a Network Interface Controller.
I've done some searching on the internet and I can see some suggestions to locate the Setting ID of the NIC and then remove the value from the "Bind" string under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Linkage" and "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Linkage"
I tried this but it didn't seem to uncheck itself from the NIC properties under NCPA.cpl
Can someone help me?

How to uncheck File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks by Command!!

Dear everybody,
I meet a problem with my System now, and I need your help!!!
As mentioned in title, I need uncheck on File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks by Command for Security purpose.
Could you show me the way to do it by command line
I think GPO can solve this but My Boss want to do it by command line
Thanks for your help!!!

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Network Discovery" new enable=Yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=Yes
To disable these functions in Windows, use the same command and replace 'Yes' to 'No' in the above commands.

X301 "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" removed at re booting (XP SP-3)

Even if I run the “Network Identification Wizard” (under System properties/Computer Name) to join a Workgroup, the box ‘File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks’ remains unchecked. If I ticked it manually, it remains checked for the current session, but it is unchecked at booting.
The same occurs with the Windows Firewall (I am running that from Symantec). I switch the Windows Firewall off, but after rebooting, it appears selected again!.
This happens only with my brand new ThinkPad X301, which came with Vista. The package included a kit to convert to XP, but this installed a ‘naked’ XP, which required downloading from Lenovo and Windows about 1Gb of files (bad service, Lenovo guys!).
I wonder which “safety” issue of the X301 causes this, but how can I stop this happening? (It does not occur with any of my two old ThinkPads, also running XP SP-3 and Lenovo software).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

See -> http://www.vistax64.com/vista-networking-sharing/72537-file-printer-sharing-turned-off-reboot.html Here is the text. Re: File and Printer sharing turned off on reboot
I FOUND MY SOLUTION!!!
In my case, it was in Lenovo's "ThinkVantage Access Connections" applet. It
is additional security that is applied at the CONNECTION level.
Here is how I fixed it:
1. Double click on the ThinkVantage Access Connections applet in the
notification area.
2. Click on the MANAGE button on the toolbar
3. Select the SSID where you want File Sharing to work, and click EDIT
4. Click on the ADDITIONAL SETTINGS tab
5. Next to "Network Security", click the SETTINGS button
6. The first option in Security Settings is "Disable file and printer
sharing". UNCHECK this box. Click OK for 3 levels of dialog boxes, then
close Access Connections
Although these directions are specific to ThinkPad notebooks, the same
principle may apply for other manufacturers' connection managers.
Best of luck!

File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is missing

I have a Server 2012 Hyper-V VM that is missing the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. When I try to Install the service it is not listed. The only service listed is Windows Network Virtualization Filter driver. I have the install media but
I don't know where the driver would be located. I'm hoping someone can tell me where it is located.
Update:
I am trying to run Enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name Ethernet -ComponentID ms_server but it's not working and it's giving me this error.

Ok, fixed it, I found the netserv.inf file in c:\windows\inf and tried to use it to reinstall File and Printer Sharing. However File and Printer Sharing was not listed. I copied the netserv.inf file from another Server 2012 VM and was able to install File
and Printer Sharing using the copied NetServ.inf. After rebooting the server I was able to access network shares on the server.

Printer sharing problem in Network Magic

I have a desktop computer running Windows XP connected to a HP Photosmart 1115 printer. I have a laptop running Windows 7. I installed Network Magic on both machines. The network map is showing the printer with a yellow directional arrow going both ways. When I right-click on the printer and choose "Complete printer setup" a pop-up screen appears "Connecting to hp photosmart 1115 series on (name of desktop)." Then another screen pops-up "No driver found". Then another screen pops-up "File needed: Printer driver INF for Hp photosmart 1115 series". Not sure where to look on desktop? I tried some inf printers drivers but I get "Windows cannot connect to printer". I also get error 0x00000214 which tells me to set-up the printer by creating a port with \\desktopname\\printername. This changed the look of the printer icon in the control panel but the printer did not work on either of the machines. The only way I can print from the laptop is to save my files into a shared folder and then go to the desktop and open the shared folder and print. Is there any other solution to this problem besides buying a new printer that is compatible with Windows 7? There are no drivers from HP available to work in Windows 7. I also am using Norton Security Suite with Comcast.

Hi jamhome,
You will not be able to use the Printer from your Windows 7 Laptop without compatible Windows 7 Drivers. I purchased a Lexmark X6570 which is Wireless and works in Windows 7 Utlimate 64-Bit Version Computer.
You need to purchase a Printer or All-in-One that plugs into the Router or is Wireless to each computer.
You also need to open up Windows 7's Network and Sharing Center which may or may not help.
If you need additional help include the information that the posts at the top of the Forum asks for.

Script to install and enable file and printer sharing windows 7

Hello
I posted this question on the Microsoft Partner Windows 7 forum and the support person told me that I should post it here.
I have a Customer that was running Novell. We will migrate them to Active Directory.
The question I have is. they did remove the file and printer sharing service on their Windows 7 workstations.
Is is possible to have a command line or a script to install and enable the file and printer sharing for Microsoft Network?
We need this enable in order to install the SCCM client remotely
Greetings
Gaetan Labrecque

How are you going to connect to the workstations?
File and print sharing are not needed for Group Policy to work. GP can be used to re-enable file and Print Sharing.
You will also need to start by joining the machines to the domain. That will be very difficult unless all have PowerShell and are configured for WinRM.
This can be somewhat accomplished by using VBScript remotely but will require a very sophisticated admin to set up and debug in your environment. I recommend hiring a consultant who has experience in conversions or is a master VBScripter in a domain.
There is no easy answer. It is not about File Sharing.
Here is how to add roles and features with PowerShell:

Shared printer not visible on network

I have an Epson WF-3520 and i originally tried connecting it directly to the internet but everytime it went to sleep the computer would no longer be able to connect to the printer and i would have to turn off the printer delete it from the computer and re-add the printer everytime i wanted to print! I gave up on that and connected it to my iMac via USB and then turned on printer sharing on the iMac. When i try to connect to the printer from my Macbook Pro it is not listed anywhere. Does anyone have a solution to either of these problems? Preferably the second as even Epson didnt know what was wrong with the first issue...
Thanks,
James

Besides turning on Printer Sharing, you also have to check the box marked Share this printer on the network in the Print & Scan preference pane. If you did that, disable the built-in firewall and also all third-party firewall or security software that you may have installed.

How to assign the proper printer driver for a network shared HP PSC 1315 on the client side

Hi,
For the sake of simplicity I'll start with the simplest part: I have successfully got the above mentioned printer to work on the PC where it is connected to via USB (running MS Windowx XP SP 3). I recently downloaded the latest install program for the printer drivers to do that. I connected it then to another PC (also MS Windows XP SP 3), and also installed the printer drivers using the HP install program and could also print on that one.
Now I wanted to share. I shared the printer on the PC connected to the printer, and on the other one I started the "Add printer" dialogue, chose network, and found it, and selected it. However, I am then told, that the host doesn't have a printer driver so I have to choose one on the client. And this is the problem, as I don't have the printer driver file. As I mentioned, there are no individual divers on the HP home page, only this install program, which I did run on both PCs, but this doesn't help me for the case of assigning the correct printer driver on a network client. Of course I also checked the list of available installed models, but it doesn't show up. So, what do I do?

just so u know I was not trying to print directly to the HP PSC 2355 from my iBook G4, I wanted to print to it over the network, wirelessly. So installing the HP Printer drivers would not serve that purpose. As I tried to explain in my email.
By the way I did find a solution that has worked for me.
The solution is to go to Print & Fax in the System Preferences.
This is assuming that you have shared the printer from the PC.
Then click on the + to add a printer to the iBook G4.
Then click on the More Printers button at the bottom.
You should then ensure that you have Windows Printing selected
You should then make sure that the drop down below is Workgroup I think
Then you should select the computer that u have your printer shared from
Then you should press the Choose button.
Your shared printer should be listed there
You should then select that printer and choose HP from the Model drop down
Then under Model Name pick HP DeskJet 900 series and press the Add button
This model is not for an HP PSC 2355, but it is the appropriate driver for this
printer, if you choose this print driver, everything will work and you can
print wirelessly from your iBook G4 to a HP PSC 2355
I have tested it on several different things including just text and color
graphics as well, and it all worked beautifully, I am so happy now, that I
figured it out.

Printer Sharing with Mac on a Windows dominated network

Hey guys,
So basically, for the past few weeks I've been trying to get my printer connected through the network so I can print wirelessly. Basically, from my research, I need to get my Mac connected on the "homegroup" of the Windows network. However, when I try to connect, it asks me for a username and password. My computer doesn't have a password -- and I don't want to put one because it's a shared computer. Is there a default password? Or am I forced to put a password on that computer?

If a Windows computer was sharing the printer that you want to connect to, then this would be the correct action to take. But if the printer is networked, either wired or wireless, and not shared by a Windows computer then you could connect your Mac directly to the printer if you connect to the same network.
As for the "homegroup" this is a WIndows only setup introduced with Vista. Your Mac cannot connect to a homegroup. So do mean workgroup?

When you want to connect to a Windows shared printer you will get prompted to enter a Windows username and password before you see the shared printer. So you do not enter your Mac user details. Have you been provided with a Windows account you can use?

Network with WIN XP - PRINT SHARING

Hi All. I have a brand new Macbook running 10.6. I am on a wireless network with a PC running XP which is attached to an HP officejet 4300 MF Printer. I have enable print sharing in XP. I can see the printer on the Windows Network on my Mac. I have even installed drivers on my Mac for the remote Printer. However, I am unable to send a print job. Any ideas? Thanks.

You need a CUPS printer driver in order to use the standard CUPS print comm protocols (Windows Printing/smb, for example). The driver from HP is for USB only.

File and Printer Sharing on Network

I have a wireless network using a Netgear router on which two PCs and two Macs are connected.
I currently have no file or printer sharing enabled between the various systems.
I have a HP psc 2450 printer wired to one of the PCs via a USB cable, and I'd like to access this printer from the other systems.
Would somebody walk me through how this can be done?

Printer sharing problem: printer not found by other Macs over network

We have 2 iMacs and 1 PowerBook, all connected to network through a Belkin router. One of the iMacs has an Epson Stylus hardwired (USB) to it. Printer sharing is ON. In the past, the other two Macs found the printer over the network and printed fine. Recently, they can no longer find the Epson over the network, indeed, when we try to "add printer" in their Printer Utilities, they no longer find any printer at all. Why did it use to work and then stop for no apparent reason, no changes were made (except for occasional need to restart the router if we lost our connection)? What are we missing?

As you suggested, I repaired permissions in all my Macs. That helped; the other Macs could find the shared printer. Then later on I needed to shut off both the host iMac and the printer. When I turned them back on, once again the other 2 Macs couldn't find the printer?! Since I had just repaired permissions earlier in the day I didn't think it could be that again. Then, I printed one page from the hardwired host iMac, and voila!, right after that page printed the other two Macs could spot the shared printer over the network again. I'm glad they came back online, but wish I knew what the heck was going on?! Why would printing one page from the host bring the others back, and did the earlier repair of permissions really have anything to do with it??

Printer sharing through Classic over network

Hello,
Have a G4 desktop running 10.3.9 and an iMac running 10.4.8. There is an Epson printer connected to the desktop via USB. These 2 computers are networked through a wireless router.
I would like to print from a Classic app on the iMac to the printer connected to the desktop. I have read the Mac Help articles on USB Printer sharing and desktop printing under OS 9, but am still having problems. (By the way, this Epson printer, Stylus CX7800 has no OS 9 drivers available.)
Thanks,
Marc

Sounds like the identical problem!!
My shared printer is hosted by my "Panther G3 laptop (10.3.9)" via a USB to parallel converter cable.
I have no problem in printing an OS X document from my "Tiger G5 desktop" to the shared printer over my (Ethernet) network.
But when I try to print a Classic document from my "Tiger G5 desktop" over the network as per Mac Help, i.e. "Choose Apple menu > Chooser, and then select one of the following: To print to a Mac OS X printer, select LaserWriter 8," I just get an error message "LaserWriter is waiting for paper".
Then I am forced to copy my Classic document to the host computer and to print it from there. This is no longer "shared printing", it's just a pain in the neck.
Does any one have a suggestion? Do I need a printer driver on the iMac as well as on the host iBook?
