Printing from 10.5.6 to a Mac on ethernet network running 10.3.9

Hopefully someone will be able to help out with this problem - after upgrading our G5's to Leopard (10.5.6) we are trying to print to an Epson printer that is connected via USB to a G4 running 10.3.9 - the G4 and G5s are on an ethernet network and connect to each other via a hub.
We have tried typing the Terminal command cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"' as recommended here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275
however that hasn't helped the issue - has anyone else got any ideas?
TIA

Can you please tell us more about your network? Is that really a hub? Is there a router that gives the computers IP addresses by DHCP? Please compare the IP addresses of all computers - they should all be in the same subnet - like all start with the same first three parts - 192.168.1., etc.

Printing from imac over airport express connected to an ethernet network

Hi, My home ethernet network shares an ethernet connected printer, and web connection via a switch and worked fine. What doesn't now work is my rearrangement that now includes an emac, and imac connected to this wired net via an airport express, they connect to the web just fine, but the printer isn't detected. I can hookup either mac to the switch directly using cat5 cable and detect the printer but not over the airport express that is wired to the switch. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to avoid more holes drilled in the floor so near where the plastic waterlines run to the second bathroom.
Thank you,

Hello again,
I'm guessing that the problem is maybe that both the switch and the express are duplicating some of the same things, and that the airport express should maybe be setup as strictly a bridge. Would one be able to set it up as a bridge and be able to handle 2 macs, or would it just handle one correctly at a time?
Thanks

Print from Win XP to printers on Mac 10.4 network

I have a small home network consisting of an iMac and two G4 Powerbooks all running OS 10.4.4 with three printers all connected to iMac host computer. Powerbooks are connected via DLink DI-524 wireless router. I have no trouble printing to any of my printers(Epson Stylus 740, Lexmark X75, HP Photosmart 8250)from any of my computers (either wirelessly or directly conected). I just purchased a notebook running Win XP(SP2)and tried to connect to my printers using Bonjour for Windows. Of my three printers, I can only get one (Lexmark) to print using the Bonjour address. So the other printers I tried configuring to print via the 631 port; however, when I attempt to print this way, the material spools and says "printing" (on both printers) but nothing happens. Any help will be much appreciated.

Did you ever solve this? I have virtually the same problem. I have an HP Deskjet 895 C connected via USB to a G4 running 10.3.9. Two ibooks connect via Airport flawlessly, and I can even share files between them and a Dell running XP professional, but no printer.
The solution you used for your Lexmark might be good enough to solve my problem, but I'm not sure how to do even that.

How to print from XP to HP attached to Mac Mini usb

Hi,
I have attached the HP F4280 Printer via usb to my Mac Mini. Printing my MacBo Pro wirelessly to it is okay already as answered on the other topic that I started as well. I can actually print now using my client mac.
My problem now is that I have a pc notebook as well running on XP. I want to print wirelessly from it to HP attached to Mac. I have configured all print sharing etc on Mac host. but can't add in XP.
I have downloaded already Bonjour for windows on my PC but can't seem to find the printer when I entered \\192.168.1.105\computer name.
Any help would be appreciated. No XP forum I could find.
Thanks
Jingo

You need a third party printing app or an app that lets your computer act as the print server. Your printer is not an AirPrint printer from what I can see. You can double check here.

Printopia for the Mac or Fingerprint for Windows will let you use the computer as the print server.

Cannot print from InDesign v3.0.1 on Mac Pro

I am attempting to print from InDesign v3.0.1 to a new Epson R3000 printer. Last week the connection and prints were fine. Now, when I select the "Print" dialog box, Indesign crashes. Is there possibly a conflict between my older InDesign and running OSX v10.6.8 on a Mac Pro? I re-installed InDesign and also re-installed the Epson print driver, with no luck. Since I originally bought InDesign as part of the Creative Suite package, the "upgrade" cost to either the latest CS package, or stand alone ID, is $599.00. Adobe sales told me my CS package serial number would not work with the $119 ID stand alone upgrade. It is hard to justify $599 for a software I use at most four times a year.

Well folks, I downloaded the latest version of InDesign (CS5.5) and now I can at least print from my InDesign document. Using Epson Profiles and Epson paper stock I can make decent prints on the new Epson R3000 printer. But when I attempt to print InDesign documents (my photo portfolio pages) onto Hahnemuhle German Etching paper, using a Hahnemuhle ICC Profile, the photographic images are far too saturated and have a red/magenta cast. I tried everything, including spending almost an hour on the phone with Epson support. But, we could not come up with a solution. Has anyone else had similar problems printing from an Epson R3000 and InDesign? I can print TIFF photo files from Photoshop CS5 just fine, so clearly it has something to do with InDesign. Suggestions are most welcome, thanks! Mark W.

My wireless hp 5660 envy printer prints from my iPad but not my mac book pro

I can print from my ipad but not from my mac book pro, when I try to print from my Mac Book Pro the page just comes out blank...

Hello @leafgirl ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand you can't print from your Mac book pro. I would like to help.
Since your iPad can print I think it is a software issue.
Go into system preferences and remove the printer.
I would also uninstall the HP software if any is present.
You should then verify and repair the disk permissions.
Then do an Apple update.
Reboot your Mac book pro.
Then install the HP software.

HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310. Can't print from iPad iOS6. They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses. On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133. Can I match them? H

I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310). They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses! The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133. That's the only difference I can see. Is there a way to fix this?

fyi:
you put periods between the numbers.
Each device needs a unique number.
for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary. 192.168.1.x
the numbers you have look ok.
Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes. poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
cross fingers.

Why can i not print from my ipad i do not have a wireless network

How do i get my ipad 2 to print to Hp 6500A without wireless network

Hi,
In order to print from an iPad 2 to the HP Officejet 6500A (E710a), a wireless router is required.
While the printer only support ethernet network connection the iPad support wireless connection only, therefore you will need to use a router in order to bridge among the different connection types.

Print from Windows XP to a shared Mac printer

My Mac is using OS 10.3.9 and I want to share my ML-1210 with a PC. I attempted to use CUPS but the PC claims the ML-1210 cannot be "shared". Is there a step-by-step process for sharing a Mac printer with a PC? Thanks.
1) I have installed the latest Samsung-GDI with foomatic and ESP ghostscript driver combination for my ML-1210 (which apparently is supposed to assist in sharing).
2) I added the printer on my PC linking it to my Macintosh as sharing;
3) When I attempted to print nothing happened. I opened the PC Print Center and found there was an error. When I opened properties/sharing on the printer I received an error message "Sharing is not supported for this kind of printer".
4) I'm almost positive I've seen postings on the web claiming that this printer has been shared. So I'm obviously still doing something wrong...
Thanks for your assistance

Printing from Windows 8.1. laptop to Mac printer

Hi all,
I just got a new Windows 8.1. laptop and I'm trying to find an application that will allow me to print to a USB connected printer on my iMac 27" computer. Could someone direct me to a version of Bonjour download that could help here?
Thanks,

Hi,
You can share the folder on the server and map the shared the folder by using
Net use.
Then configure the mapped folder to work offline.
This should be worked fine.

Problem printing from Win 7 PC to AE Base Station connected Network Printer

Hi, i have an AE 802.11g version 5.7 software with an IP4800 canon printer attached via USB.
i can print perfecrtly to it from both my macs (G5 desktop and Intel laptop) running 10.5.8.
recently i connected my girl's Vaio laptop running Windows 7 and it works fine for connecting to the internet but i CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to get the network printing working. we installed the latest drivers for the canon on her PC and downloaded and installed Bonjour for WIndows version 2.02 (link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999) The printer is even "seen" on her PC, shows up with a green arrow and the base station is identified, but everytime we try and print we end up with a "error printing document" message after a minute or so.
i have gone into the prefs and we have enabled the UDP port "5353" just in case her MacAffee or the firewall was the issue. this has not worked either. i have tried the solution proposed by a user on this link (http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/177086-fixed-problems-wireless-printi ng-over-airport-extreme.html) and that has not worked either.
i have spent over 2 hours on this and am at an end to what else could work. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?
thx in advance for your feedback!

I have follwed the instructions provided in the html link but I still can not get my Lexmark 5470 to print. I even tried to add a printer using CUPS but that is not working either. Printer works great on the Mac and it will print if directly connected to the PC. I can not get it to print over my wireless network. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Can't find my printer from my MacBookPro. Canon MX870 connected via ethernet to my Airport Base station

I have a MacBookPro3,1. My Canon MX870 is connected to my Airport base station via ethernet. It was working fine until two days ago. I restarted my computer, the printer and the airport and router. Reinstalled the driver for the printer and even reset the airport. Best I can tell it's something with my MacBook. My girlfriend was over yestrday and she has a newer MacBookPro and I can find my printer fine on her MacBookPro but I can't find it at all on mine. I'm at a complete loss. Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder if one of the “printing” plists has become corrupted. Find your preferences file in the library under your user name. Scroll down to the series of printer plists starting with “com.apple.print“. There are a series of them, even one specifically for the mx 870. You can delete a plist with relative impunity as they are rebuilt when you restart your MBP. I would delete 1st the one that has 870 in the name, put it in the trash, but don’t empty the trash, and restart. If that doesn’t solve the problem you can delete others- like the “print add“ plist or print center plist. Restart after each deletion and see if that solves the problem. You can always drag the deleted plists out of the trash and put them back where they came from as long as you don’t empty the trash.
Good Luck!
