Printing from two computers

is it possible to link a hp printer with a mac and a pc ( sorry ! ) ?

Hi John,
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, of course it is
If the printer has an ethernet port you can add it to the network; you'll nee to have the print drivers installed on both computers with this route. Failing that, or alternatively, you can connect it to either the Mac or PC and enable print sharing.
For step by step instructions on print sharing look here:

I have a HP printer 8600 and airport extreme -- want to print from two computers - does not work

I just bought HP 8600 -- run Lion -- have airport extreme want to print wirelessly from both computers won't work

How are you trying to connect the printer - wirelessly or Ethernet or USB to the Airport?
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Can I access printer from two computers?

I would like to print wirelessly from my new Windows laptop to the printer which is currently connected by USB cable to my iMac. I tried the Netgear boards first but the response they supplied was Windows-specific.
The PC is connected wirelessly via a Netgear DG834Gv3 router to AOL (UK) and my Mac is connected wirelessly via an Apple Airport to a different, cable network. Ideally, I''d like both computers to print wirelessly and I was hoping the Netgear router would provide the solution.
It may be pertinent to add that the Airport is stuck in the room the cable comes in, the iMac and printer are stuck in another room but the Netgear router can go just about anywhere.
Am I right thinking settings need to be tweaked on the Mac and a cable will connect the printer to the router?

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
Thanks!

No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished

I want to order prints from two different albums but don't want to pay shipping twice?

I want to order prints from two different albums but don't want to pay shipping twice- How do I do this?

Select all the photos in both albums and order - or make a temp album containing all photos you want to order prints of and select all and order
The easiest way is the second suggestion -- make a temp album containing all of the photos and select all

When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

Hi!
Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

[HELP] I use Skype from two computers and i notice...

Sorry for reposting this topic, but it didn't appear on the forum.
Hey there.
I use skype from two computers.
Last week i blocked a contanct from computer1 and yesterday i unblocked it from the same computer.
So i noticed that after i unblocked this contact, it still appears at my homepage with his picture, info and everything, BUT only from computer1.
When i use computer2, this contact appears at my contacts, but only with his skype name (the one he uses to log in) and not with his display name. Also, i can't see his picture or any other information. It just appears offline, with his log-in name and with no picture. That's all.
So what's going on? Why can i see everything normally from computer1 but not from computer2?
P.S.1 99% he blocked me too, but i have no idea whether he unblocked me or not.
P.S.2 I know my english is horrible, sorry for that.

Working from two computers

How do folks work from two computers? I use an MBA on the road and out of the office and an iMac at home. Is there a way to sync my site on both computers? Or to download changes to my site onto the other computer? I haven't seen an obvious method for managing the site and keeping it on both computers.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Aaron ~ I haven't used Dropbox, but it offers file syncing and gives you 2GB of storage free. The problem is that iWeb's Domain file is a single unit, so that even if you change just one character on your iWeb site, the whole Domain file will be re-synced — not just the changed page.

I'm trying to share a new Canon printer wirelessly between my HP laptop and my iMac. I've successfully printed from both computers, but, I get errors trying to print on one after I've printed on the other. Any ideas on how to get them to both to print?

I installed a new Canon printer several months ago that I was told by the salesman could be shared between my iMAC and HP laptop. I have successfully used the printer wirelessly from both computers, however, it gets hung up switching between the two and I'm not sure what to do to get it to be consistent. Any ideas?

You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

How Can I Combine Podcasts from Two Computers Into One ?

I download podcasts on two computers - my home PC and my work/travel laptop. My IPod syncs to my home PC. What I would like to be able to do is transfer all the podcasts I have downloaded from my laptop to my home PC (as my internet speed at home isn't great), then sync it all to my IPod. Is this possible ?

Well it works.....sometimes. It works OK with audio podcasts, but not with *.mov video podcasts. It DOES work with *.M4V video podcasts. I found this out by trying to add all the Tiki Bar TV files, and only the Boomerang episode transferred OK.
The strange thing is this - while the *.MOV vpodcasts don't show up in the Podcast window in ITunes, they DO transfer over and show up in Library>Genre 'Podcasts'>. How can I force them to appear in the Podcasts window ?
Cheers

How to import songs onto iPod from two computers?

this probably was posted before, but is there anyway to upload songs from two different computers?
i have songs on my mom's computer that i dont have on my dads.

Try turning off auto-update. Right click your iPod, and go to iPod Options. Under music, click 'manually manage songs and playlist.' It should work after that. You will probabl have to do it on both computers.

Usb connection printer, router, two computers on LAN?

I recently got a TP-Link WDR4300 (N750) router with two usb jacks. I have a HP OfficeJet 5610 printer's usb output plugged into the router usb jack. On the network I have an Imac 10.4.11 and a Macbook 10.5.xx. The Imac recognizes the printer and will print. However, the Macbook sees the printer, but will not print. Both computers are plugged into the router by ethernet cables.
There are many posts regarding setting up printers with macs in various configurations. But I have not seen any where there are two computers on the LAN and one computer will print and the other does not.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Richard

You could try [iStat Menus|http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25230/istat-menus].
I use this to monitor temps, fan speed, disk usage, read/write speed, CPU usage and of course, network throughput.
Hope this helps...

Can I swap the CS2 registration numbers from two computers?

Is there a way to swap two CS2 registration numbers on two computers without reinstalling the whole lot? Thanks!
Paul

I'm not so sure it can't be done. I don't remember the way CS2 worked
but once you deactivate you may be prompted to remove the serial number
from the machine. Go ahead and do that for both and then reactivate
entering the correct serial number on the opposite machines.

Is it possible to sync to/from two computers but only sync from a third (no upload to third/work computer, but download from it)?

Is this possible:
Two directional sync (to/from) of history, bookmarks, etc on two computers and only unidirectional sync (from only, not to) on a third? I have sync set up on my work computer and I like knowing my work history when at home or on my laptop, but I don't want all of my home history being sent to the work computer. Is there a way to have a two directional sync between 2 computers but only send history from, but not to, a third computer?
As it stands now, if someone at work would get on my history it would look like I have been looking up flights and buying things on the internet at work, but I only do that at home.
Thanks.

As far as I know, you can only access the iTunes store of the country you are currently in.
