Printing From Powerbook to HP on WindowsXP Workgroup

I am new to the Mac world. I have an XP network. My new powerbook connects fine.
I have followed the instructions posted by iFelix in another thread about how to connect.
I see the printer, I connect to the printer. When I go to print, however, I get a message:
Connection failed with error
NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY
which changes to:
Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds....ERROR: Connection fialed with error.
I have reset the printing system several times. What am I missing?
Thanks.

The plot sickens.
Prompted by your suggestion that the problem my reside somehow in the fact that I am not being prompted for a password when I choose the workstation that is sharing the printer...
I went into KeyChain Access. I found the "server" name and double clicked. I clicked on Access Control. I changed this from "Confirm before allowing acccess" to "allow all applicatsions access to this item."
From a blank printer system (having been reset), I followed the steps you've outlined. When I came to selecting the server under Windows Printing -- I was Ta-DA! asked for a user name and password.
I had high hopes.
I finished the selection of my very vanilla HP Laserjet 5M and printed an email message.
And the error was once again
NO MEMORY
folllowed by the
Unable to connecdt to SAMBA Host...
Will now try the direct address using SMB URL format.

Printing from 10.5 on canon ix4000

I cannot get as good, ie fully saturated and solid, prints from new MacBook pro as from old PowerBook running 10.4.11 - exactly same printer & latest (4.83) driver
Printer - Canon pixma ix4000 photo software Nikon NX2
The only difference in the dialogue boxes is that the 10.5 printer sequence has dropdown 'color matching'>colorSync or 'vendor matching'(what is that???) instead of colorSync followed by standard & quartz filter. Choosing ColorSync in 'colour matching' cuts out Color Options>driver matching, ie no further colour management.
Not that the various slight differences in the 10.5 options make as much difference in the print as between printing from PowerBook or MacBook.
Anyone any ideas please?
PS I know I can print image files on the MacBook from the PowerBook via network, but was hoping to save PowerBook for when I need a key Classic application (Microstation, never supplied for OSX, just robbed Apple of good ideas then dumped)

Vendor Matching will use the colour profile installed by the iX4000 driver. If you open the ColorSync application, then select Profiles then expand Other, you will the Canon BJ printer profiles. You will also see additional profiles with your printer model followed by an alphanumeric code, such as PR1. These are related to the different paper stocks you can select via the 'Quality & Media > Media Type' menu.
The letters in the code are as follows;
MP = Matte Photo Paper
PR = Photo Paper Pro
SP = Photo Paper Plus Glossy
You will see each has a different gamut, with the SP having the largest. I recommend leaving the Color Management at vendor and then use the media menu to select the appropriate paper stock you are printing on.

Network printing from MacBook (10.5.5) to HP3210 via Powerbook G4 (10.4.11)

The long winded title maybe says it all, but here's the problem.
We have two Macs; an older Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 that has an HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-one printer/scanner hooked up via USB (and previously via Ethernet).
In another room we have MacBook running 10.5.5. This machine has successfully been set up to find the HP printer via Bonjour / network printing. However it has never been possible to send documents to print from within an application (i.e. File > Print within MS Word, for example). Attempting to print causes all applications we've tried to crash immediately on clicking File > Print or the shortcut. We have only ever been able to send documents to print by exporting them as PDFs and then dragging them on to the printer queue.
This is not so much of a huge problem, except that we often need to set Borderless printing etc from within the document, and dragging/dropping files onto the print queue doesn't seem to support these.
No such problems exist on the Powerbook, which prints fine with no crashes.
Could anyone suggest any possible causes? I'm happy to provide more info if needed; wasn't sure if this is enough.
Many thanks in advance

I can't tell exactly what's wrong, since you attached only
snoop log.
But since you're using DHCP, I guess you are trying to
do PXE boot to install. When you use PXE boot, you need
to configure some vendor options (like SrootIP4, SrootNM
etc) and also create macros with dhcpmgr.
there is documentation at
http:docs.sun.com
so check the documentation to see what is missing.
If you've already done these, check NFS configuration
if all directory are correctly shared.

Wireless printing from a PowerBook G4 through a router to an hp printer

I'm able to hook the usb cable directly to the printer from the powerbook and it prints great.
My hubby and I ran through the mac book and was able to to connect the mac to the router and then at some point it printed, but it was computer language... what could we be missing?
Oh (since this was a while back after giving up) I remember when selecting the printer model we were not given the choice to load a driver...so I'm thinking there lays the problem... however... we went to the website to even download the driver (since this mac should already have the driver preloaded from what I remember reading).... i have no idea if a CD came with it, it we found one and tried there or what... it's been that long since we tried... but then again, I had lunch yesterday and I can't remember what I ate?
Anyone want to try and help? There's a reason why I've got my user name as conehead. wink

I would like to try this again. Thanks for anything you can give. I've gone through several pages of posts and didn't see anything that could help so now I'm posting my much needed help.

Network printing/Windows printing only works with a driver that was meant for network printing. To use the OS X built-in CUPS network choices, you need a CUPS driver. For postscript printers, this is not an issue, because postscript is the native output of OS X, and can easily be routed to the various choices in Printer Setup.
Non-postscript printers are Very Different. Except for Brother, no manufacturer has provided CUPS drivers. Instead, what you get are Carbon-type, OS9 legacy drivers, that have the comm protocol written into the driver (mostly USB). They can only print via local connection.
**Exception - when printing via an Airport/Bonjour enabled print server (Airport Express/Extreme), where the software does a port redirection, USB output from the Mac gets routed to the USB port on Airport Express/Extreme.
Short version - the driver provided by HP doesn't do network/windows printing.

How do i print from my mac powerbook 15.2 to my hp c-4180 printer

Hello @COOP1950 and welcome to the HP Forums!
I'd be happy to lend a hand, I just need to ask a few questions to get a bit more information
1. Which version of Mac OS X is on your computer?
2. How is the printer connected to the Mac?
3. Do you have the HP software installed (if it's available for your printer/operating system)?
4. What program are you trying to print from? Do you get the same result from all programs?
With that information I'll be able to have a deeper look into things for you!

Printing from OS 9.0 on G4 Powerbook 10.3.9

When I print from OS 9.0 environment I get an error message of -3158. Stating I need to be connected to a network to print. I don't think this is true. I used to be able to print. I have never used a network. Proper recent driver has been downloaded and entire system has been reloaded. HPs suggestion does not work and the Apple care packaged I paid for said they cannot help me. What do I do?

Printing from MacBook to a printer shared through Windows Vista

Hi Everybody,
I'm unable to print anything from my Mac laptops to my HP printer which is shared via a Windows Vista PC.
I have a wireless home network with a PC, a latest model Powerbook G4 15"/1.67 and a MacBook Core2Duo. The PC is connected to an HP PSC 2355 All-In-One printer.
When I had Windows XP SP2 installed on my main PC, I was able to print from my Mac laptops through Samba (Advanced printer, smb://guest@myIPaddress/printersharename) without any problems.
I recently upgraded my PC to Vista Ultimate (RTM Technet full version). Now, I can no longer print via my Mac laptops, since supposedly, Vista's implementation of Samba has changed. I can, however, print from my MacBook when it's running Windows XP SP2 without any problems. This leads me to believe that the sharing-side on the Vista PC is set up correctly. The XP to Vista over wireless printing obviously doesn't use Samba. The Vista share does not have a password on it.
I've installed the Foomatic/HPIJS drivers on both my MacBook and the Powerbook. These are the errors:
Powerbook: "Unable to connect to SAMBA host"
MacBook: "The process "foomatic-rip" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
I've tried all kinds of combinations for Samba, and also via the option "Windows Printing". My PC is in the same network Workgroup as the Macs, and they can see my Vista PC fine. I can also connect and share files with my Vista PC without any problems and connect through Samba using Finder (for file sharing). I cannot, however, see my shared printer through the Windows Printing dialog.
Can anybody help me out?

Cannot print from hp DeskJet F4580

I have just bought my first MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.4. Great computer.
However I cannot print from the wireless hp printer. I downloaded the latest driver from hp (maybe a fault) and started to install. Everything went as expected untill the setup process of the Printer Queue. Here I add the printer in order to create the Printer Queue, but when I click on the continue buttom I get this warning: Are you sure you want to continue without adding a Print Queue? I finished the installation with a congratulation sign.
Therefore there is no doubt, that the printer queue is missing. However I cannot found out to install the printer queue.
The printer is a socalled all-in-one printer. The scanner function is perfect with the wireless connection. But not the printer function.
I have also tried to connect via usb cabel. The result is the same. Scanner okay. Printer not okay.
The printer works perfect under Windows.
I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem ! The wireless printing works using OS 10.5 on a G4 PowerBook but not OS 10.6 on an intel MacBook. I'm going to get in touch with HP as have used the latest drivers (as you have) - I've re-installed the HP software using Software Update for the latest version - still can't print. USB printing is also faulty so must be their drivers.
I'll let you know if I have any luck !

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

I am going to assume that this is a Windows issue but does anyone have a work around or a setting that works?
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.

Officejet 6000 computer connected to windows 7. Can't print from windows XP laptop

Printer connected by USB to the Windows 7 desktop. Printing is fine. I have both computers on the same workgroup network, file sharing is ok. My laptop finds the printer on the network, but there is apparently a driver problem. The disc that came with the printer will only install on XP and Vista, so downloaded the drivers for the new windows 7 desktop. I either get a "Failed to Print" message or "The handle is invalid". When I tried to connect with the printer through network sharing, and tried to open it, I was told the wrong drivers were located on the server. It looked for a file with *.inf. Do I hve the wrong drivers on the desktop or do I need to install the drivers on the laptop? I never had this problem with my old Vista desktop.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If it is not wireless it is USB connected. So you need to choose USB connected and let the program do it's thing. Are you trying to share the printer from the desktop to the laptop? If yes, just go to Add Printer and follow the instruction. Make sure File and Print Sharing is enabled on the desktop.

Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.

I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!

I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names.

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

How to print from mac to windows 7 printer?

I have a wireless home network with a workgroup where I share the Canon MF4150 printer with networked pc's. PC's print just fine.
Just got a MacBook Pro and I cannot get the darn thing to print.
I have connected the printer directly to the Mac and it prints fine.
When I try to print from the Mac across the network, I get: "Canon UFR II Printer Driver - Connection Method not supported.: -9786"
This seems to be so basic, yet after an hour with phone support the best I got was contact Canon or Microsoft. Heck they'll just say it's a Mac problem.
Suggestions??

Print to Windows Shared Printer from Mac on wireless network

My set up is: HP Deskjet 1050 410 USB to a WIndows 7 PC. The PC has 4 users, each password protected for login and public (not protected) folders. The Macbook is running OS X 10/6/8. I have downloaded the latest HP drivers.
I found the printer on the workgroup network and installed it as the only printer on the Macbook. When I send a job to print, I am prompted to either login as a guest or as a user with a password. Either way, I get an eror message "On Hold (Authentication required)" Under Job Info is the following message "NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER"
THis is an improvement over what was happening before when I could not find the printer in the list and had to manually use the IP address. Even then, I could not print, I would get a communication error.
The first time I installed the printer driver (an earlier driver and earlier release of OS X 10.6) I had no problems printing from the Macbook. It found the printer and printed without any password authentication. Nothing has changed on the PC, the printer is shared with all users on the network, but I can't seem to print.
I noticed many postings with similar issues but I did not see any resolution. Help! (Thanks!)

hey just want to say thanks to you guys... I just this week switched to Mac after 14 years of heavy PC use. Mac's been awesome except for that I couldn't print to my PC based printer... now I can... and I couldn't of done it with out this apple discussion thread about HPIJS.

How to print from Macbook Pro on a Cannon MP610 printer?

I have recently bought a Macbook Pro, and I have a wireless network set up at home.
I have no problems connecting to the internet or the network. But I can't seem to access the printer. I have a Cannon MP610 Printer. This printer is connected to the PC, which is connected to the modem. The printer is unable to connect directly into the modem which is unfortunate
It's a fairly big network. We have a master pc that is connected to the modem. This master computer also has a usb printer. We have a secondary pc ethernet linked to the master pc, which can connect to the internet and the printer via the ethernet.
The modem is a Thomson TG782T ADSL.
We have 3 windows O/S laptops, and 2 MAC O/S laptops.. No laptop can access the printer. Only the internet.
Can you access a printer from a laptop through the modem through the master computer the the printer?
The printer is turned on, and the PC is always running. The printer and file sharing is turned on.
What would be the least expensive way I could go about fixing this problem?
I have heard about people downloading Gutenprint; so i downloaded it, but couldn't get it to run.
I have tried many different ways, and after adding a new printer and finding it on the network.. is then says it is in the queue list.. but won't print. It just sits there until you cancel it.
Thanks in advance

How can I use the Gutenprint driver on my Mac? All it does is downloads and installs, but it wont allow me to use it. (Like it doesn't come up under applications or anything).
Installing printers on Mac's is usually a two step process. The first is to install the driver software if it is not on the Mac already and the second is to add the printer queue. OS X 10.6 comes with Gutenprint v5.2.3 already so would be no need to download and install again, unless you customized the OS X installation and selected not to install the printer drivers or you have a model of printer that only a later version of Gutenprint supports. Since your MP610 is listed as a supported model with v5.2.3 then the downloading was probably a waste of your time.
To add the printer when it is shared by Windows you open Print & Fax, select to add ( + ) and then select the Windows icon. This will open a pane showing three columns. The first column is for workgroup names and since you mention you're using XP Home then your workgroup name will be 'mshome'. If your Mac does not see 'mshome' in the first column then we need to look at the IP addresses being used by your computers.
IP address:121.222.186.51
According to "what is my ip address.com" it says my MacBook Pro and master desktop PC has both the same IP addresses. Is this meant to be correct?
Looking at the IP address listed this is going to be the address of the Thomson router. If all computers were using the same address then this would be a problem but given that you used a web service to tell you the address then this won't be the case.
To see what IP address, subnet mask and gateway address you are have configured, you can use Command Prompt on XP and type "ipconfig /all" (without the quotation marks) and press Enter. This will give you a list of all the network settings in the PC. Write these down for later reference.
For the Mac you can open System Preferences > Network and select which port you are using (Ethernet or Airport). Then in the right pane will be the current IP address. To get more information you can press the Advanced button and then select the TCP/IP tab in the next pane.
How do I create a PMB queue? And how do I find out if I can ping the master PC? (what's your definition of ping?)
It's an SMB queue and I suggest that we leave that process for now. Besides you will need to know the IP address of the XP sharing the printer before we can try that process. So let's just try to get the computers appearing in the Windows Add Printer browser and using the Gutenprint driver instead of the Canon.
