Printing from Win PC to a Mac Printer

Hi all.
I have an Epson R300 connected to the USB port of my iMac, and shared through the System Preferences -> Printer and Fax -> Sharing options, and a Win 2000 PC in local network with the iMac through the ethernet ports.
The PC can see the iMac and exchange documents with it, but I am having problems when printing from the PC to the R300. That is, when I try to set up a network printer using Bonjour for Win, everything is OK, except that at the end of the procedure a message warns me that I have not the rights to use the printer. I am logged as administrator on both computers, which additional rights do I need. Also, I restored the disk privileges where some printer file access privileges were corrupted, but had no change.
I also tryed to use the procedure suggested in MacHelp, but I don't know what a SBM/CIFS printer is and how to set up it on the PC.
Thanks a lot for help. Regards.

Upgrading CS 3 from Win to CS 5 Mac

OK. Here's the situation.
I've got a copy of Design Premium CS 3. It's the windows version. I have since bought a macintosh and no longer have the Windows PC (which was wiped of all software).
So I have a valid unused CS 3 here, which I want to upgrade to CS 5. Obviously I can't install the windows version on a mac to do an upgrade though. However; the license certificate I have has a Mac serial number on it as well as a windows one.
Is it possible to use this license key to install an upgrade version of CS 5 on my Mac? If so, does CS 3 have to be installed on the Mac first (which is an issue because I don't have the OS X media) or does the upgrade installer just ask for the product key from the old version?
Thanks.

I am also trying to do the same thing. My license certificate has both Windows and OS X product keys on it. I bought a single license for WPCS3 for Windows from our reseller in India. He must have put us under the AVL (Volume Licensing), the reason why our license has both the keys on it, even though the registered products under my Adobe Account (Adobe ID) says WPCS3 for Windows (and displays only the Windows Key).
I am currently using Web Premium CS3 for Windows and want to upgrade to Web Premium CS5 for Mac.
My reseller in India says that I am eligible. What does Adobe say about the Upgrade Eligibility in this case? Your telephonic conversation with Adobe could shed some light on this.
Thanks

How can I print from my iPad through my Mac Book Pro which is connected to a printer? I was told I could do this.

How can I print from my iPad through my Mac Book Pro which is connected to a printer? I was told I could do this when the iPad and Mac Book Pro are synched together.

No.
Printopia (running on your Mac) connects the iPad to your printer.

How can I print to Officejet 6700 from Win XP x64 computer?

Purchased the 6700 and conencted to network and prints from Win 7 laptops fine.
My desktop workstation in HP Z600 running Win XP X64, but cannot seem to get a driver to suit to print over the network.
I would prefer not to have to trash and replace the OS on the workstation!
Is there a work-around or some sort of interface that I could use?
My home network does have a little HP server, but it runs Win Server 2003, which is also incapable to connecting to the printer.
This question was solved.

Double sided printing from an Epson sx425w in mac

Hi everyone,
I've been reading posts by others regarding problems with double sided printing on mac. Since I changed to a mac, I havent been able to print double sided from my epson sx425w printer. This can be quite annoying if you a lot of pages to print. The double sided print option is just disabled so I cant even select it and I dont have the option of "Duplexer" or "Duplex Printing" as suggested in other posts. Besides, I've not been able to use my scanner since upgrading to Mavericks-I know others have had similar problems too.
Anyone come across similar problems?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I think epson has just released a new scanner driver which I've downloaded and is now working. As for the printer, they said it's not possible to print double sided from this particular model in mac as it does not have the duplex unit. Hence the only solution is to print from windows or buy another printer with a duplex unit. I only found out after posting the question. Here's a link to the scanner software-http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=FCFfEfoyEiFBBDU 002FXyeTVD1rAPvGEp+uonLZf8Ez0bAEU003D&id=377764

When I send a pages file from my ipad to my mac i can edit the file but when i try to print it shows blank why

when i send a pages file from my ipad to my mac, i can edit the file but if I try to print it shows blank and will not print anything

Is there a reason you are not storing your Pages documents in iCloud? That would work for both your MacBook and iPad if you choose to use it (assuming your MacBook is new enough to support an OS X version that supports iCloud).
If you choose this method, any updates you make on one device would immediately be made available on the other (once you close the file).

Issue while printing to A4 from Xerox J75 (fiery) through Mac OSX 10.9.3.

I've encountered an issue while printing to A4 from Xerox J75 (fiery) through Mac OSX 10.9.3.
The document and printer settings are set for A4 but the print job goes to the printer as A3.
The problem only occurs while printing through Adobe Photoshop CS6.

I get into trouble if I choose A4 borderless instead of A4 in the Photoshop Print settings.
There, Tray 2 is dimmed out
To be honest, I don't see borderless in your settings, but my doing that on my printer causes a default to the larger Tray 1.
That's all I have tonight. If I think of anything else, I'll post it. Here's thread on this issue as well.
Wrong paper size sent to the printer

When i try to print from Parallels Desktop to my mac printer, it cannot convert the prescript file. what should i do?

i use Quickbooks accounting for windows and when i bought my new mac i had to buy parallels desktop so that i could continue to use my accounting software. it has been working since then and i dont know what happened, but now when i print something i get a message saying that states "Unable to Convert The ProScript File".
Help Please!!!
Niko96
i need this fixed a.s.a.p!!!!

I don't have Parallels; I use Fusion. And in Fusion you have the option to use the installed printer is OS X to print. I have seen printing from Windows 7 to the Mac printer result in errors and there is a chance you are having the same issue.
If Parallels has the same facility where you can use the Mac's printer then I would suggest that you install a Windows driver for your printer in Parallels and not use the Mac printer. This should stop the conversion error you are getting.

Upgrading from CS2 Suite (Win) to CS5 Suite (Mac)

Over the last few days I have twice called Adobe UK sales and have been assured that I can easily upgrade my Windows CS2 suite to a Mac CS5 suite.
I was told that all I have to do is enter the CS2 Windows serial number during the CS5 Mac installation and it will be accepted.
However I have found no mention of this anywhere on the internet.
Has anyone been given the same or conflicting advise by Adobe for this type of scenario?

Adobe are even contracdicting themselves re CS5 upgrades.
I was told by the UK sales team that I wouldn't need to submit a letter of software destruction upgrading from CS2 Windows to CS5 Mac.
However, the Adobe on-line representative said I would.
I can understand this requiurement for a straight platform swap of the same version.
However, if I am upgrading, I surely need a valid suite to upgrade from?
If I destroy my CS2 I will no longer have a valid suite any longer!
I have also found out that PhotoShop Mac CS5 will apparently no longer have the ability to print printer profiling targets with colour management disabled. Supposedly Adobe labs are developing a separate utility for printing profiling targets but with no ETA. This means that I will have to continue to use an earlier version of PhotoShop anyway!
With these uncertainties, contradictions and complications I have now cancelled my order.
Thanks again for your help.

How to share mobile wireless connection from Win XP to mac?

Hi,
I have two comupters,one mac and one PC (win XP). I am trying to share the mobile wireless broadband from my PC to the mac. I set up the sharing from mac to PC successfully quite a while ago, but now I need to work extensively on mac. So I tried to set up the sharing in the other around and nothing worked at all. Here is what I did.
1. I enabled the sharing of the mobile wireless connection on PC.
2. I tried to set up a small/home network, but it didn't work on Mac as the windows softwares can't be run on mac
3. I also tried to set up a peer-to-peer connection from PC to Mac which also didn't work.
Does anyone how to do the sharing from PC to Mac? Thanks a lot!

Okay, firstly some routers or mdoems come with 2 ports on the back so you can connect two different computers so simply plug them both in
if not, then i advise you buy a router which allows you to add numerous computers to the same network via wires or add numerous computers wirelessly
i have one computer connect to my netgear router -wired
i have one computer wirelessly connected with a Netgear USB wireless reciever
then i got my laptop which is connected via wireless
i have xbox live which i connect to the internet via my laptops wireless connection, this can be done with any pc or laptop aswell
what you do is
wireless networks - where it showws any detected networks
change advanced options - on the side
advanced tab
then allow other computers to use this computers internet connection
simple as
all you do is plug in your other pc or whatever

Upgrade AA3 to CS5.5 _and_ from Win to Mac?

I am almost ready to make the big step, away from Windows and onto the Mac. I own AA3 for the Windows platform, can I simply purchase the Mac upgrade and expect the licensing to be alright or do I need to purchase a full version of AA 5.5?

According to the product FAQ about Macs and converting to Windows (the sensible thing to do!) in the Information section, you can transfer CS products between platforms, so I would imagine that you should be able to do this with an Audition upgrade too. However you look at it though, you have to contact Adobe directly to find out what the options are.

Transfer CS3 from Win to Mac - no upgrade?? really??

Hi
I've just had a chat with an adobe Rep, and I'm 95% sure that what they told me is wrong (cos it sounds too good to be true!) so thought I'd ask if anyone can verify it....
I have CS3 Design Premium for Windows. I have a Mac on the way, and want to switch.
I was under the impression I'd have to pay to updgrade to CS4, and then switch. But what I was told was that:
- I send in the letter of destruction and they'll email when effective
- Apart from that, I just put my install CD in the mac (it works on both) and use my current serial number.
So - no need to upgrade, no cost, no new media - just email over a copy of the letter of destruction.
I've attached a copy of the transcript if anyone's interested.
Can anyone verify this?
Thanks
Kieran

Cheers
My Mac arrived yesterday, so I put the DVD in (it's a download only version, rather than a shipped box) and there didn't seem to be a Mac installer. In sheer naiveity even tried running setup.exe (!) but no joy.
Other info I've read since does seem to imply that this rep was wrong. Does anyone else know more about the process, or, if the rep was right, how I go about installing from that DVD?
Cheers - Mac noob...

Switched from Win to Mac, need CS4

New here, I appreciate any help!! I have just switched from a windows machine to Mac. On the windows machine I had an education version of CS4 Design Premium. Now I need it to work with Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3. I downloaded the mac version of the software, but the installer would not take my old windows serial number. What can I do??
I sincerely appreciate any help you are able to give. I am working on a project, and I don't want to have to rebuy CS4 again!! Thanks!

You upgrade to CS5.5 and make the platform switch. If you're still eligible for education pricing, you just buy anew. Until then you can always run your Windows version via Bootcamp or Parallels.
