Printing from a Mac Book Pro to a Windows 7 64 Bit Box

Before I upgraded to Win 7 I have no problem printing from my MBP (snow leopard) to my Canon IP4300 hooked up to my Vista Ultimate Box. Once I upgraded it to Win 7, I can no longer print. We have 2 Mac Book Pro's and this error can be duplicated on both.
When I set up the printer everything appears to work fine. My MBP see's the Windows computer, see's the printer, and add it's after asking me for my username and password to access the Windows PC.
However, when I try to print I get this error:NTSTATUS_INVALIDPARAMETER and the job says it is waiting for authorization. So I enter the username and P/W again and same thing happens again.
I am going to assume that this is a Windows issue but does anyone have a work around or a setting that works?
Has anyone else seen this error?
Thanks in advance

Had to laugh about this. Of course it's a Windows issue (this time...). You didn't change your Mac's, you've installed a new OS that is only a week or so old, that probably won't get updated for a year (based on past performance from Microsoft). Could have just as easily been the other way if you had installed Windows 7 first and then MacOS
Meanwhile, Windows 7 has new features that you might need to turn off. I've read that the "Home Group" feature interferes with File and Printer sharing to non Windows 7 computers. I'm not an expert with Win7 yet, so I'm guessing...
I got sick of this years ago and just make sure that all of my printers have an ethernet port. Every OS I can run can print to an IP number. SL changed it's printer system, Vista changed it's printer system, Win7 changed it's network share system. None of this matters at all with a network printer.
Are all of the machines on the same workgroup? Here's an earlier post with similar issues and errors: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1217688&start=15&tstart=0
Good luck with the problem.

  • How can I transfer photos from my Mac Book Pro to my windows computer?

    How can I transfer photos from my Mac Book Pro to my windows computer.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
    If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"

  • Printing from a mac book pro to HP envy's

    I have a macbook pro 10.6 and I have tried to print on a HP Envy 7640e and cannot get it to print. Can someone take me through the steps I am so frustrated!  When I try and set  up the printer  it does not show the envy 7640, so how do i do it? my desktop mac can print from it. I need someones help! 

    Evening , I can see you are frustrated with trying to get your ENVY 7640 connected to your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and I may be able to help you with this. I've looked into the software available for this model, and it looks like it only has HP drivers for 10.7 or higher - but you should be able to Install a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update. The best way, I find, to get the driver installed is to connect the printer with a USB temporarily to get the update. Once the update is installed then you can do the following;
    Remove and add a printer:  Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System PreferencesClick Printers & ScannersSelect the USB printer, Click the minus (-) symbol,Click the plus (+) symbol, and Select Add other Printer or Scanner                                                                                                        Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver If it still isn't working correctly, try this; Reset Printing System: This will remove all printers in the Printers & Scanners, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System PreferencesClick Printers & ScannersRight-click (or  Ctrl- click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…Click OK to confirm the reset.If prompted, type the correct Name and Password for the computerClick OK to reset the printing system * The window should be blank, do not re-add the printer yet. Repair Disk Permissions: You can watch this YouTube Video to learn how to repair your disk permissions.
     Add a printer:  Now add the printer back into Printers & Scanners.Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System PreferencesClick Printers & ScannersClick the plus (+) symbol, and Select Add other Printer or Scanner                                                                                                        Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help.  I look forward to hearing from you!  Thanks,

  • How can I delete files from My Mac Book Pro safely to create more space?

    Hi,
    I need to delete files from my Mac Book Pro and I am not sure how to do it safely without affecting my computers drivers or operations.
    In my Finder - All Files Section there are certain files in the Preview, marked as "PNG Image", Window Image, GIF image, XLM. when I look at them they seem scripted or sections of an image. How do I know which files are safe to remove
    I seem to find a lot of duplicated files - is there a way of stopping this from happening?
    Thanks from a little frustrated Mac Book user.

  • How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
    The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
    Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
    Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
    Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
    Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
    We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
    Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
    As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

    Entourage is a third party app so stop down to the Microsoft support forums. In any case I would suspect in its preferences there would be a selection as to when (parameters) incoming mail should be deleted from the server.

  • How do I reinstall Leopard on my mac pro from my mac book pro?

    How do I reinstall my Snow Leopard os into my mac pro from my mac book pro?  I have the disks, both run on Snow Leopard.  I am have a grey screen problem and nothing has fixed it yet, so I was told to reinstall in from another computer because when I tried to load from disk to mac pro the mac pro would start to load, but then stop at the same place.

    Once you get it to work, be sure to download and apply the lastest SL COMBO updater. for 10.6.8 (or any later version). This will ensure that the latest drivers & such for that newer hardware gets installed and the resulting OS can run optimally.

  • Problems with volume when streaming a Netflix movie from my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2009) to my flat screen TV?

    Hi!
    Does anyone know what I need to do in order to turn up the volume when I’m streaming a Netflix movie from my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2009) to my flat screen TV?
    I hooked up the HDMI adapter from my Mac to my TV and it is currently in Mirror Mode, but I can’t turn up the volume, the only audio I’m able to adjust is on my Mac.
    I’ve already tried: System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers Built in output.  That’s the only option my Mac gives me.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello jguti,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your external display connected via HDMI is not being detected by the computer.  At this point, the best bet for your next troubleshooting step would be to reset the system:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.

  • I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?  i use OS X

    i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

    I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

    Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.
