Printersharing over my local network does not work anymore

I cannot figure it out.
'all of a sudden' (so it seems) my 2 printers in my network do not print printjobs from other macs in my network. It dit work. Nothing really changed, exept some system-updates.
print-share is on, awake out of sleep is on (network-tab). Really there is no reason that it would not work.
Still, ... it doesn't.
config:
- imac 27" 2011, software updated
- macmini 2010, software updated
canon ip4200, works standard on imac.
brother HL-2030, works standard on imac
The charm of the set-up was that I could have my printers in the office and still print from the livingroom (mac mini)
To try to solve the problem I moved the mac mini temporarily to the office, so I have it next to the imac.
Opening the section 'printers and scanners' and then pressing the '+' does however give me 2 differentviews:
- on the imac I get a sub menu, dropping down from the '+'
- on the mac mini I get a new window named 'add new printer' (this is hopefully the right translation - I am on a Dutch system)
This strikes me as odd. I never noticed this before. Maybe this is where the problem lies?
Anyone, Please???
thanks,
Jo

I did that. I think I did all I could think of: restart macs, adsl-router, the only place I did not look was my switch.
I use this thing because the build-in router in de ADSL-'modem' is 'only' 10/100 Mb. I want full use of my LAN, so I bought a switch. (I have a NAS for photo's, video and itunes. It is still awaiting to be used fully, but that is another matter).
I just solved the problem partly. ...
I just found out that the mac-mini was attached to the router, and the imac to the switch. I just connected both to the switch which solved the problem. Also connecting them to the router solved the problem.
So, ... my next question would be: is bonjour using a special port on my router that I should open, or is there some other reason possible? (... it has a build-in firewall ...)
It appears to be that the problem lies in the communication between the router and the switch.
... Just checked that, ... and it seems to work.
So next analysis would be ... bad connection? loose cable/connector/etc?

  • Wrt610n wireless network does not work after firmeware upgrade

    Hi
    I just updated my Wrt610n hardware version 1 to the newest firmware, it did finish with sucess, I did factory reset reboot and reconfig. But the wireless network does not work , cant connect computers to it. Did downgrade the firmware to the same it was and restore my settings but still wireless does not work. But router works fine with lan.  Any suggestions? maybe the firmware tosted the router?
    Regards
    Stefan

    Update -
    After last reset and reupgrade with the newest firmware for hardware version 1 I could config the router and connect 2 computers with wireless - but only for about 15 mín - then they lost connection and could not reconnect.
    I did then get the newest update for hardeware version 2 - just to try and upgraded with that and got success, and now I have reset the router again and config it and those 2 computers are connected and have been for 1 hour now. So seems to be working - is it okay to have the firmware for hardware version 2 on my version 1 router?
    Any thought what is going on - could it be that the other firmware had not loaded compleytle or?

  • Primary network does not work, guest network does work

    I updated the firmware on the Time Capsule, after which we had a power outage. When the Time Capsule came back up, after a bunch of fiddling around we discovered that although the primary network cannot connect the Internet through our phone system router, the guest network works fine. The primary network does not work with the guest network turned off. Resetting the Time Capsule had no effect.

    After an entire day of messing around, we went into Airport Utility, selected Internet, selected DHCP, and changed DHCP Beginning Address to match the one showing on the guest network (172.16). Now the primary network can see the Internet.

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

  • Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

    Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
    About a year ago I purchased a laptop
    TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
    with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
    For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
    As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
    I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
    the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
    Gan you help me?
    Graziee

    Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
    At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
    Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

  • TV does not work anymore on Qosmio G10

    Good morning,
    TV does not work anymore, may be due to an update. It has been working OK before.
    When selecting TV option 'TV direct ' with MCE menu, I get the following error message: "necessary files for video display are not installed or do not work properly, restart MCE or the computer". Restarting MCE and / or G10 does not solve the problem.
    -Intervideo WinDVD creator is installed.
    -TV PCI tuner seems to work properly (as per hardware status)
    Which files can be missing? What needs to be done?
    Any help, suggestions, well appreciated.
    Thank you to anyone answering this message.

    Hello Luciano
    Like you know on this way it is not easy to give you precise answer because we dont know what did you done exactly with your Qosmio.
    Please try to use System restore tool at first and roll back the operating system to earlier time. Maybe this will help you and the MCE configuration will be as before.
    Try it at first.

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

  • While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

    I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question. 

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

  • After update Mac OS 10.9.1 Trim Enabler does not work anymore!

    After updating from Mac OS 10.9.0 to 10.9.1 the program Trim Enabler does not work anymore and my 4 SSDs from Samsung and Kingston are no longer supported.
    What can I do?
    Should I scrap my SSDs?
    Why does Apple do such things?
    Will Apple that I switch to Windows? There Trim works with all SSDs and BluRay will not boycott!

    Apple does not support TRIM for SSDs that were not factory
    installed and TRIM Enabler is a hack to get around this.  Any
    hack is always subject to being disabled, or worse, with any
    system update whether it is OSX or Windows.
