Printing from a Mac with OS X Mavericks to a printer on Windows Network

I am having trouble printing to a espon WP4530 that is connected via USB to a windows PC running XP on a wireless network
I see the printer - to add it over the wireless network (Add Printer - under the windows tab), but nothing prints when I select it.
I did connect the printer directly to the MAC and downloaded all the epson drivers and was able to print ok.  
But when I go back to the network it does not print.

This solution worked for me using a samsung 1640 printer on a XP computer networked.
In Windows XP Pro:
1. Add some Windows components that are not added by default.
          Start Control Panel
          Select Add or Remove Programs
          Select Add/Remove Windows Components
          Check Other Network File and Print Services
                    - may require access to XP Pro Install CD (need lpdsvc.dll file)
2. Verify installation of additional components
          Start Services and find TCP/IP Print Server
                    - make sure it is started, then right click and select Properties
                    - change Startup type: from Manual to Automatic
                    - while in Services, make sure IPSEC, Print Spooler, and RPC are started with Startup Type of Automatic (these are dependencies)
3. Configure Firewall (necessary)
          Go back to Control Panel and select Network and Internet Connections
          Select Windows Firewall
          Click Exceptions Tab and check File and Print Sharing if not checked
          Click Add Port... (most likely LPD port is not in your exception)
                    - Enter the following...
                    - Name: Line Printer Daemon
                    - Port Number: 515
                    - Leave TCP selected then press OK
                    - You can optionally click on scope and select My Network (subnet) only
Windows XP shared printer should now be ready for LPD.

  • How do I print a configuration page from a Mac with Snowleopard?

    How do  I print a configuration page from a Mac with Snowleopard?  Printer is workinhg fine, but I just put in a new cartridge and I'd like to know how many pages I'm printing.

    Hi there Dave, aka @dewanio , welcome back
    I saw that you are looking to print off a configuration page.
    The printer itself will print a test page however, the model depends on how it will print. Let me know which printer you have and I will get back to you!
    Thanks!

  • Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

    Hi
    Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
    I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
    of the above setup as it is a requirement.
    When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
    "httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
    I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
    500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error. 
    The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
    Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
    http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
    In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
    to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
    Please check below article for more information.
    Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
    In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.

    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

    Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks in advance.

    I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
    Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
    If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be  adjusted.
    I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

  • HT3049 Why do I keep getting "Connection failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" when trying to print on Windows networked printer over wi-fi?

    Why do I keep getting "Connection failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" when trying to print on Windows networked printer over wi-fi?

    If I run the following (on the machine I'm trying to set up the share)
    smbclient -L localhost -U%
    I got the following output
    Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
    so I thought it might be something incorrect with the iptables side of things, however I haven't really touched that at all and it seems to look correct
    iptables -nvL
    Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 667 packets, 79977 bytes)
    pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
    Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 157 packets, 20724 bytes)
    pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
    So from my (very little) knowledge this appears correct (I think)... However it appears that something is blocking access somewhere.

  • Cannot see my PC Vista from my Mac with OS-X Leopard but can the other way

    I just upgraded to OS-X Leopard from Tiger. I had a good networking and file sharing going on with my PC running Vista before that. Now I am able to fully get to my Mac files from my PC but my Mac cannot even see the PC at all (nothing shows up when I click on "Network" in Finder). I have a wireless connection with Linksys. I can get to the internet and to my printer wirelessly from my Mac, but not to my PC.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks.

    I set up both machines identically.  When I go to see my shared drives the MacBook is there I just cant log in to see the shared files.  From the Mini it doesn't event give me the option to sign in under a specific user it just tries to connect and I get the message.

  • Why is my Late 2006 iMac arbitrarily excluded from the Macs allowed to run Mavericks?

    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    My Mac:
    has a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
    Is currently running OS X Lion
    has 3 GB memory
    has a 250 GB hard drive (most of which is empty)
    was built in Late 2006
    Why is my Late 2006 iMac arbitrarily excluded from the list of Macs allowed to run Mavericks?
    I called 1-800-MY-APPLE to find out what change was made in 2007 that was not present the year before. No one had an answer for me, they just shuffled me around to different departments while I listened to the same lame songs repeat over and over again.

    (The phone hold system at Apple should really get an iPod.)
    I eventually spoke with CPU Senior Advisor, J.T. Thornton, and I asked him to explain which mandatory feature was added to the 2007 iMacs that wasn’t present in the 2006 models. He pulled up the technical specifications of the 2006 iMac next to the 2007 iMac, and even he was unable to identify what changed in 2007 that would cause the incompatibility. He went on to explain that it was probably an algorithm that caused my Mac to be incompatible.
    I asked (somewhat facetiously) if the algorithm was if build year<2007 then FAIL, and then to my surprise, he agreed with me.
    Why isn't there a smarter algorithm to determine compatibility? I can clearly see that my system exceeds the minimum system requirements, with the exception being, of course, the year it was built.
    Planned obsolescence, anyone?

    Then you do not need to upgrade.
    But if you do remember that your needs may not have changed, but technology has. 32 bit machines are vintage now, they will not run moderns operating systems. So unless Mavericks has something that you must have don't upgrade. And if you do, a new Mac will be needed.
    $1199 divided by 8 years is a cost of about $3 a week, a pretty good rate for a machine that works as well as it did 8 years ago.

  • How do I make a phone call from my mac with yosemite?

    How do I make a phone call from my MacBook Pro on the Yosemite operating system?

    The following quotation is from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    There is more information in the link, including supported hardware and that you must have Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls set to on on the iPhone.
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Make a call
    To make a phone call on your Mac, iPad or iPod touch tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari.

  • Can I use migration assistant from a mac with leopard to a mac with tiger?

    My old mac was upgraded to leopard, (don't ask me why), and I just got a new mac with tiger, although I ordered leopard up to date. Can I use migration assistant to move stuff from the old mac with leopard to the new mac with tiger, or do I have to wait until I get the copy of leopard? Plus, if I move files over now- like through email and/or network connection, and then when I get leopard and archive and install, what happens to my files?

    That is correct. You'll need either an ethernet cable or a firwire cable and a firewire to thunderbolt adapter to connect the two macs together. Here's info on Migration/Setup assistant

  • Transferring info from a Mac with multiple accounts to a Mac with one

    Hello -
    I have to install a new Tiger installation on my wife's iBook. I want to make my life easier, and her entire iBook has been backed up to her account on our shared PowerMac G5. The question I have is this - After I install Tiger on her iBook, I will be given the option to transfer information from another Mac. I want to transfer her information from her G5 partition, but I do I do that? If I start the G5 up in Firewire Target Disk Mode, how can I select only her account to use for the transfer? I haven't tried this yet, and maybe the solution will be obvious. But if not, can someone advise me how to do this?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

    I figured it out.
