Printing from my mac - problems

I have upgraded my NM to 5.5 on my XP desktop, Windows7 laptop and Mac BookPro Snow Leopard - I can share files no problem and can print from both windows machines, but I cannot print from my mac. The Canon MP480 is directly connected to the desktop with XP. I have installed the drivers from my Snow Leopard installation CD and also went thru system preferences and added it in the IP section with the IP address of my desktop - 192.168.1.107 -- any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, did you try using the NM Mac Add on? It does work on Snow Leopard now.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Unable to print from my Mac system, but my other computers work

Have you encountered a problem printing from your Mac computer and it seems to work from everything else?
I have looked at several posts regarding to printing from a Mac. PrintDoc seems has a solution that can resolve most of the printing issues from Mac when other devices work.
1. Reset the printing system by clicking on Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system and following the steps exactly. This will reset just the printing system back to a fresh start. This works for 10.5 to 10.7.
2. Download and install the driver package Apple has here. This driver package will work for most HP printers. There is a link at the bottom of the driver page to verify that your printer is included. If it is not, check HP's support and drivers page at www.hp.com to download the right driver package for your printer.
This will resolve printing issues on Mac systems when the problem is isolated to the Mac.

HP Laser Jet 400 Color Printer won't print from my mac but will from others on the network.

My HP laser jet 400 color printer will not print from my mac except when I send a test page. The other printers on the network are printing with no problems. Has anyone else had this problem? Help?

Printing FROM a Mac TO a WinXP machine/printer

Hi,......my brother and I have run into a problem we can't get around. He just got an old G4, but his main computer is a WinXP machine. (I'm trying to convert him) He has an Epson R220 printer hooked up to the XP machine, and wanted to print from the Mac to the R220 via his wireless network. We have tried all the things they suggest and are still getting the NTSTATUS_ACCESSDENIED error message. I know it possibly has something to do with SAMBA, but we can't figure it out. There are tons of articles on the net about that error message, but none of the possible solutions we have tried, have worked. I was wondering if anyone has done this and got it to work.....and/or what is the best way to make it possible to do this.
I told him he could use Bonjour on Windows and hook the printer up to the Mac, but he has no room upstairs to put a printer on the Mac.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Scott,
Xchaserr's link is a non-Samba (Windows Printing) method.
There are literally 1000's of responses regarding NT_STATUS here in the forum. Be sure to look in Keychain and delete any entries related to connecting to the PC. And yes, I do have this working. I don't have a firewall running on the PC (I figure the router's firewall is good enough). Back when WinXP SP2 was installed was the only time I got NT_STATUS errors.

Colour (Color) Mis match printing from iPhoto/Mac

I have just purchased an Epson R340 and, while it prints perfectly well from the memory card, printing from my Mac results in poor quality prints. The photos are reddy tinged and (from photoshop) out of focus or blurred. This is also the case when I print from Quicktime. I have tried unchecking ColorSync in iPhoto as well as playing around with a few other set ups but nothing gives me the same quality as printing from the memory card. I am running iPhoto 6 and Photoshop CS. Has anyone encountered or managed to fix this problem?

Also note that you don't want color management turned on with both Photoshop AND the printer driver, as the colors will be managed "twice". This will cause that red shift you are seeing.
This is from Photoshop's help:
"If Photoshop is handling the color adjustment or color management options during printing, turn off all printer driver color adjustment options. If not, specify the color management settings to let your printer driver handle the color management during printing. It's important not to color manage in both Photoshop and the printer driver simultaneously during printing. This results in unpredictable color."

If I can print to a wireless printer from my Mac, wouldn't it seem like I could print from my iPad mi I and iPhone 5?

I cannot print from my iPhone5 nor my iPad mini, to a wireless HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m. I can print from my Mac book pro. Is it my settings or the printer that is not set up correctly?

First check to see if its airprint enabled, it will be listed in the first article link. If not, then there are other options listed below.

How to print from a Mac to a PC by WiFi

I have a printer (Canon MF6530) connected to a PC Windows XP ServicePack3, i want to know, how can i print from my mac (MacBook Black Intel Core 2 Duo(/Lion)) to the PC by using WiFi, i´ve been trying several times, made my research and cant make it. I don´t know how can i use the PC´s IP, in order to connect the computers. Beside i don´t understand the difference between the Options IP and Windows when i try to install the printer in my mac.

It should show up in the available printers list when you select the "+" button in the Print & Fax section of System Preferences then. If it doesn't you can try selecting the IP pane and entering the IP address of the PC and use either LPD or IPP.
Sorry, if it's still not working I would have to say "I don't know."
Best of luck.

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.

Can i print from my mac to a win 7 printer?

I have done a search and was unable to find the answer to my question. I have tried to figure out how to print from my MBP to my wifes printer that is attached to her windows 7 computer. I am able to print to that printer over the network with a windows computer but not my mac.
Does anyone know how to get this done or if it is even possible?

Printing from your Mac to a printer attached to a WIndows 7 printer can indeed be done.
It use to be quite easy under Windows XP or even Vista, But Microsoft changed the SMB code in Windows 7, making it more of a headache.
Here is how to share your Windows 7 printer:

Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600

Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600. Upgraded from OS 10.4 and printer showed on printer list along with an Epson scanner. but continually shows printer as offline. I finally deleted the HP Color Laserjet 2600n from the printer list. When I attempted to re-install it, it doesn't find the printer at all. I haven't attempted to use the scanner. I also went to HP and downloaded the driver, no luck. I've restarted the computer multiple times, tried it with the printer on, and printer off, as well as pulled the usb cable in and out both ends. No error message on the printer display and it gpes through normal warmup until it shows the green light. I run software update and it shows no updates needed. Help!

When you press print the first window is pretty basic.
When you select print on that the next window should have an advanced option.
Click that and see if any of the options in the 3rd dropdown box allow you to specify the 'paper tray'.
AC "
In this new windaow, click "advanced", go to "paper type/quality" and choose " best" and a photo paper. Then you will be able to choose a paper source (photo tray).
Once you have these settings, under presets do "save as", and you can choose the preset instead of going to advanced.
If you have the latest software and drivers downloaded from HP, this will work.

I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.
