Printing from Mini to HP2100 via USB

I'm new to the MAC world and having an issue getting a HP Laserjet 2100 printer to communicate properly with a MAC mini (OS ver 10.5.4).
The first job sent to the printer prints correctly, any subsequent jobs seem to hang with the following message displayed by the print queue, " Gutenprint page 1, 26%..."
If the Mini is restarted the job completes printing after the restart, but the next job sent to the printer hangs with the same message.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion.
Loaded and installed the Gutenprint 5.2.2 drivers, unplugged printer, deleted the printer, plugged in back in, and the printer was automatically discovered and configured with the new drivers. Works like a champ.

Can't print from pc to mx922 via usb cable.

I have a mx922 and I'm running windows 8.1
Can't print from the pc using a usb cable but the 922 will print wireless.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
Thank You.

Hi mrmustard,
There is not a specific setting to make it so that you can print via USB; what error or message do you receive when trying to print? Also, do you have another USB cable that you can use to connect the printer to your computer?

Printing from iPad to airport express USB printer

Printing from iPad to airport express USB printer

Exactly my point: it's not a problem of not having the right printer, it's a matter of iOS not allowing it because Air Print is blocking it, probably because of a deal with HP.
But, I've solved the problem so now I can print from my iMac, my Mac Air, my iPhone and my iPad. No thanks to the folks at Apple who purposely blocked that functionality.
Can you print from your iPad directly to the printer without involving an intervening computer, yes or no.

TS3147 connect OS X 10.9.2 macbook air to windows 7 network and share printer (Brother HL-2230) connected via USB to the same network

Would like to share printer Brother HL-2230 on windows 7 network. Using Windows 7 "Homegroup" is not an option.
The printer (HL-2230) is connected via USB to win 7 computer. Before I updated OS to 10.9.2 it (Macbook air) had HL-2230 as one of its' priinters and was able to print. Now a print request hangs on "Hold for authentication".
I have already reset printer system and re-installed printer x2 - no luck.
I have already connected WiFi Epson XP-200 to the Macbook air - runs fine, no problem.
thx for any help that can lead to the resolution of this problem.

Can't print from mini with mountain lion to To printer being shared on ppc with 10.5.8

Since installing mountain lion on my mini, I cannot print to my shared printer connected to my iMac running 10.5.8. Works fine from another iMac with 10.5.8.

OK, here's more info
The printer is a Canon MP160 that is connected via USB to 17" imac running OS 10.5.8. After installing Mountain Lion on the Mac Mini, I cannot print to that shared printer on my network. I can add the printer to the mini but when i try to print, i see the file in the print queue on the mini, and it processes and looks normal but there is no activity on the imac and nothing prints.
This worked perfectly with previous operating systems, ie snow leopard and then lion. I have done everything I could do to fix this including resetting the printing system on both computers.
I tested the shared printer from another imac that i have that is running 10.5.8 also and it works perfectly.

How to det if HP printer is communicating to Airport via USB or wireless

Been using my new iMac and Airport base station for only 1 week. I have the Airport base station connected via a USB cable to an HP all in one 3300 series printer/scanner/fax. The printer has built in wireless capability. However, it is on the old 802.11g/b technology. Representative at the Apple store instructed me to hook up the printer to the base station via the USB port, instead of using a wireless network. Apple store representative mentioned that having one product on the wireless network which communicates using the old g/b format, will slow down all of the other communications on the network (internet, iMac, etc). So how do I determine if the HP printer is communicating with the network via the USB or using the built in wireless protocol??
One more issue - I am trying to get my old Windows XP based HP PC to communicate with the same printer. I installed a NetGear transmitter (with the 802n technology) on the old PC. The old PC communicates fine to surf the internet. However, printing does not work? The HP printer software is still on the old PC - did not remove it while moving the computer to a different room.
Help with either issue would be much appreciated.

If you want to scan then you will need to use the wireless connection.

Did you connect the printer to the wireless network? It won't generally do this automatically.
Unplug the USB if you can still print then the printer is connected wirelessly.

How do I make my printer more secure while connected via USB to my Airport?

So a neighbor (a friend, fortunately) accidentally installed my printer on her computer via the network (her computer showed it as a 'Bonjour' printer) and started printing stuff, even though my printer is connected to an encrypted Airport Extreme.
My printer (an old HP deskjet 5550) is connected via USB to my Airport Extreme, which has a WPA2 secure password protecting it. Also, the "Share this printer" box was unchecked in the printer utility.
The DSL lines for me and my 20 condo neighbors all convene in the basement somewhere into one or several master routers.
I'm concerned about this breach of security (obviously) and wondering about security of my iMac as well. The iMac is connected to the base station wirelessly and has the firewall set to 'Set access for specific services and apps'.
I figured if the Airport Extreme has the WPA2 password set (and no one else knows the password) that no one would be able to gain access to the printer that is wired to it, or the iMac that's wirelessly connected.
What am I missing? How did this happen? and what can I do to ensure my network isn't visible or vulnerable to my neighbors or others with bad intent?

are there settings in the airport utility that you can adjust to make it unshareable from the router?
The "bonjourness" of the access to your printer suggests that your firewall is probably doing its job.
If your DSL connection is connected to the WAN port on the AE then the folks on the DSL side of your set up should only be able to see things on your LAN that you've set for 'access from the internet'. e.g. allow access to my printer/disk/... from the internet.
For printers there's an airport utility setting 'share printers over ethernet WAN port' and 'advertise printers globally using bonjour'. How's that set?

Sync droid mini with pc via USB?

HT204207 Sync podcasts to iPod from iTune in full via USB, no streaming, no WiFi download, good old USB sync transfer.

I want to sync my podcast from my MacBook to my iPod via USB. I do not want to download them individually over WiFi due to a large number or podcasts.
I do not want to stream as I listen to my podcasts offline. I want my podcasts to sync like they use to. I just want all the podcasts that are on my MacBook on my iPod, not in a list ready to stream or ready to download. I want the actual podcast to copy to my iPod in full via USB. I don't understand why apple have chosen to take this option away. I do not want to covert all my podcasts to "music", because then I don't get the advantage of the podcast app where I can listen to podcasts a 1.5x or 2x speed, among other features.

I'm installing a printer on a MacBook Air via USB connected DVD drive. The computer asks for my password. I don't hink we ever had one. Is there a default password ("admin"

I'm installing a printer on a MacBook Air using an external DVD drive via USB. The computer is asking for my password to authorize changes to the system. I don't htink I ever put one on the computer and "admin" and "password" don't work. Is there a default password? Or a way to change a password that has been forgotten, wothout resetting the computer and wiping everything out? Thanks.

Many thanks. As it happens, I wen to the local Apple Store today for an appointment with a "genius". She helped me reset the password. And as I look at the screens on the page that you connected me to, they're the same as the genius used. So your suggesstion was right on the money, and now I'm all set. Thanks again.

How do I print from mini I pad to wireless HPOfficejet printer 4620

Is your printer AirPrint compatible?

I cannot print from windows xp to a usb printer using airport extreme v5

I just bought the new airport Extreme, loaded Bonjour on a lenovo t400 running win xp sp3.
I can print with the printer plugged in to the computer but cannot print using the bonjour setup. I can print from my Imac connected to the airport extreme (hard wired) and wirelessly from my macbook.
I have no issues connecting to the web through the Airport Extreme with the PC.
I have all the proper drivers installed.
the Printer in question is a lexmark P910 Series and the drivers loaded with bonjour.
Any thoughts on why I cannot print using the PC?
Thanks

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.
