Printing from a WinXP PC to an iMacG5 USB connected printer

My iP4000 is attached to my iMacG5 computer via USB and prints well when the print message is engaged from the iMacG5. The problem is that the printer refuses to print when the print request is made from my WinXP PC via home network. The WinXP PC is conneced to the iMacG5 via a Linksys wireless router. I followed the WinXP directions and used the "printers and fax" add printer wizard. It found the correct printer name and engaged file sharing. The canon printer utility says a print was being completed with no errors, however, no print has been made and nothing comes out of the printer. I have removed the print driver program and reinstalled it on my WinXP PC with the same results. How can I correct this problem?

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.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

    Can you see the CD ripped songs in iTunes itself? Can you then right-click and select "Show in Windows Explorer"?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you have a Mac running OS X, try AirPrint Activator.
    http://netputing.com/airprintactivator/airprint-activator-v2-0/
    It's "donation-ware."
    Free to download and try. If it works and you like it, the developers do appreciate a donation, but the app continues to function, even without a donation.

    How can I print from the iPad 2 using an Epson Artisan 810 printer.

    You said HP in your post title and Epson in your body text, but I think it is actually an Epson Artisan 810.
    If that's right, then the free Epson iPrint app should work for you - it lists your printer as one that it supports: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/epson-iprint/id326876192?mt=8

  • Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

  • Hi....is it possible to print from iPad to a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 printer?  Thanks for any help!

       Hi....is it possible to print from iPad to a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 printer?  Thanks for any help!

    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 is not an AirPrint printer, if that is what you're asking. HP has proprietary apps that may be suitable for your needs.
    To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

  • Printing from a macbook pro to an HP psc 2355 printer

    I need helping printing from a macbook pro to an hp psc 2355 printer. The printer is connected to a pc which runs Windows Vista. The pc is connected to a wireless router (so the PC has to be on to print). Hope this is simple!

    You could start by resetting your printing system and then see if the computer sees the printer. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
    Is your wireless network protected by a password? Does it have a name?
    I have a wireless HP AIO that I connect thru my wireless router. In other words the wireless router is the hub for the printer so the three notebooks and iTouch can print to it from anywhere in the area.

  • Can i print from my ipad to a kodak hero 5.1 printer which is not an airprinter?

    can i print from my ipad to a kodak hero 5.1 printer which is not an airprinter?

    If the printer has WiFi, Kodak has an app in the iTunes Store that allows printing to at least some of their WiFi-equipped printers. Third-party printing apps such as PrintCentral are also available. All such apps have limitations, so check them out thoroughly before you pay for any such app.
    For other printers, you can route the printing through your computer. If you have a Mac, Printopia would be worth a look. Fingerprint is another option that is available for both Mac OS X and Windows system. You could also consider an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

    By the way, you originally posted in the forum for asking questions about the Communities themselves. There are forums specifically for Apple products, including the iPad, and normally you'll get the quickest and most applicable responses if you post there.

    I just got a Hp Deskjet 2540 and when I try to  print (direct print) from my iPad, I get the message that the printer is busy.  Can anyone help?

    Exactly what is the message you get and when. Presumably you are using IE9 to download the Firefox Installer file.

    Hi,
    Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
    Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

  • HT204023 How do I set up to print from my iPad directly to a wi-fi direct printer WITHOUT going through my household  wi-fi network/modem?

    How do I set up to print from my iPad directly to a "wi-fi direct" printer WITHOUT going through my household wi-fi network/modem? I want to get rid of my household internet service/modem and only use my iPad, but need to be able to print. Please help! Thank you!

    Depending on the printer, you may be able to connect/print by creating an ad-hoc (Wi-Fi direct with no router) connection. Check with your printer manufacturer to see if this is supported.
    There's a ton of info out there. You could google "ipad print ad-hoc" for some useful info. But the number one thing for you right now is to verify that your printer model supports an ad-hoc connection.
