Printing from windows 2k server, Canon MP600

Hi, I have a mostly pc home based network, and my wife would like to be able to print from her mac to the networked printer. I can get the printer to show up in "Windows Printing" selection box, and comes up as CanonMP6 with generic postscript printer labeling. If I try to print it appears to send it to the server, i can see the print queue in the server receive something, but never prints. I know it works from windows based clients, so I guess I am wondering if there is a driver issue? I've installed the drivers to the mac, the ones that came with the printer. Any help would be appreciated. Getting tired of swapping the usb cable every time my wife wants to print.
Thanks

Definitely a driver issue. Canon-provided driver doesn't do network.
Two choices - buy third party driver:

or, set up PC to be postscript translator/server:

  • Can't print from windows to shared Canon MX340

    I have a new Canon MX340 on my iMac with Snow Leopard. I'm able to print from this iMac and via sharing, all of the other Macs at home. What I can't do is print from my son's Windows XP netbook. Previously, I was sharing an old HP office jet with no problem, with the new Canon one of two things happens. I used Bonjour to install the printer on the XP side.
    - with Generic Postscript selected as the driver I get the following erros in the cups error_log file

    - using the MX340 driver, I simply get a single blank page
    I am able to print via a network connection (the MX340 has built in WiFi), but I'd like to know how to do with via the old method.
    Any ideas?
    THANKS!

    The XP Netbook should use the Generic PS driver. I've never found the Canon driver on Windows to work correctly when printing to the Mac shared printer via Bonjour for Windows.
    It is unusual you are getting this error. The Mac should be converting the incoming spool file to suit the MX340. Since the Generic PS is not working then you could try the Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 when using the Bonjour Wizard. I've used this on XP to print to my MP980 shared off 10.6.4 and it worked fine for me.
    Personally I would suggest you are better off with using the MX340 wireless. This will remove the reliance on the iMac being available just so that others can print.

  • Cannot print from MS Office using Canon MP600

    I recently upgraded from a Powerbook to an iMac. The normal Apple migration tool worked wonders and everything was working fine.
    Last week I was no longer able to print from MS Office. I try out demo's etc. so I'm wondering if something got broken. I've uninstalled as much as I can think of but still no luck. I tried uninstalling Office and the print drivers and then reinstalling everything over again - that didn't work.
    Word gives the following error message:
    Word cannot print due to a problem with the current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings.
    When I look in the console I see the following errors:

    Anyone have any idea what I've messed up? Any thoughts on how to fix this would be appreciated.

    Looks like I solved this. Unfortunately I don't know why it started doing this.
    I tried a number of things - uninstalling Office, reinstalling Office, uninstalling the print drivers, reinstalling the print drivers, removing all caches, etc., etc.
    After doing some sniffing around on some other questions it seems like this is a problem with a number applications. The repeated solution mentioned reinstalling Mac OSX but to maintain and archive the user accounts on the computer. I did this based on the following link:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
    After doing that I reinstalled the print drivers, completed the install of Office 2004 and everything worked. Doing the reinstall removed all my Haxies. I'm starting to think it had to do with that. I'll likely apply them one at a time and see which one breaks it.

    solved follow the steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … er_sharing
    then go to localhost:631 and share the printer,
    next go to the w7 machine and browse in the navigator archLinuxMachineIP:631 and copy the URL for the printer in printers tabs,
    then add on w7 this url and select the driver.
    you have to add a address reservation in your router to the machine with the printer,

  • Can't print from Windows to Mac

    I've always had trouble printing to a printer attached to my Mac from Windows. Bonjour used to see the printer, but I could only occasionally actually print. For a while everything but PDFs worked, then even text stopped. As a last resort I tried the "reset printing system" option in System Preferences and then re-added the printer, but now Bonjour doesn't see it at all. I can browse to it via SMB at \\macname\printername, but all I can do is print a test page as Administrator. Regular print jobs and non-admin test pages just disappear - not in the queue on either client or server. Setting it up as an IPP printer instead didn't help.
    I'm at the end of my rope here, and any troubleshooting tips are welcome. I'm an IT guy, so technical details are very welcome: TCP ports to check for listeners on, services to look for, registry settings on the Windows end, anything.
    Details:
    Server:
    Mac OS X 10.6.2
    HP Photosmart D7560 printer connected via USB using HP Photosmart driver
    Clients:
    Windows XP, Windows Vista (32-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
    All on the same LAN (wireless), no trouble with TCP/IP connectivity (can ssh into the Mac from the Windows boxes, etc). Both Windows Firewall and UAC are turned off on the Vista/7 boxes, guest access is enabled on the Mac in Sharing preferences...
    Any help welcome.
    Thanks!

    I followed the instructions at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html and am having the same issue. Whether setting up manually or using Bonjour, it seems that you have to select an Apple Driver. The problem is that the Windows 7 does not provide Apple drivers. Luckily, I have an old XP installation CD so I can access the printer drivers I need, but because I already installed the printer drivers from my printers CD Windows will automatically install with that driver, not giving me the "have disk" option.
    So I tried to install with Bonjour again, which allowed me to pull up the drivers from teh XP installation disk, but then gave me an error that I didn't have permissions to install the selected printer.
    So I deleted the Canon driver for my printer from Windows 7 and went through the process described at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html again. This time I was able to select the Apple Color Laserwriter printer from the XP installation CD, but I got an error message saying that Windows was unable to find an appropriate driver.
    At this point, after a couple hours trying to do a simple file share, which should only take 30 seconds, I'm giving up being able to print to a printer connected to a mac from my Windows 7 laptop. Now I have to open files on the mac from the network file share to print.
    Mixed having both Macs and Windows machines on the same network is a recipe for a headache.

  • Failed to issue print from win7 laptop to Canon MP230 which is connected to mac mini os x 10.8.3

    HI
    I have recently bought a Canon MP230 printer and connected to my Mac Mini 10.8.3 usb port.
    To setup the printer I downloaded the latest driver from canon web site and install all of them
    When I issue print from my mac mini it works fine.
    Next step was to issue print from Windows 7 laptop .
    To do that I intalled Bonjoure in my Windows 7 latpot and set the printer connected to MAc Mini as default printer.
    Upto this point every thing works fine.
    When I tried to issue print from my Windows 7 laptop the printer gets activated the power button start blinking . But it just pass a page from
    input tray to out tary without printing  a single line. I have looked into cups server page at my mac mini. It shows that the job fired from windows
    laptop was done.
    I treid a lot debug it myself . But no luck yet.
    Please help me. I am very upset.
    Thanks
    Anirban

    I just updated to 10.8.3 today, and my computer and Apple TV won't even recognize each other now.  I have absolutely no advice, but wanted to throw this in so you (and Apple) know you're not the only one. 

  • Can't print from Windows XP

    I'm a new Mac user with a MacBook Pro, and found I needed to run Windows for a couple of applications so installed Parallels. All applications run fine, except printing from Windows. Have a Canon Pixma MP480 printer at home, and an HP Deskjet at the office. Both print fine from Mac, but no luck from Windows at all. I've tried to troubleshoot the configuration in Parallels, and everything seems set up correctly as far as I can tell (I'm not very tech oriented, though). I have the feeling that there is something very basic that I have missed. Anyone have thoughts on what it might be?

  • Slow network printing on Windows 2008 Server

    Hi,
    We are just testing/configuring a Windows 2008 (x64) server to replace an aging Windows 2000 file & print server.
    I have added the print services role and added a network TCP/IP printer (a HP Laserjet 2200).
    When I print to this printer from either the server (via print test page) or from a client, it takes around 30 seconds before the print will start to print. On our Windows 2000 server, this would print immediately.
    I have insalled the HP 2200 driver that came with Windows 2008.
    Anyone any ideas where to find the problem causing the delay?
    Thanks,
    Kenny

    Hello,
    I have done some research and I find firewall component of the antivirus software such as Mcafee might cause similar network delay issues.
    If you have installed AV softwares on Windows Server 2008, please try uninstalling it temperately and test whether this will make any difference.
    Moreover, You could also try disabling TCP Chimney Offload, RSS, Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level on Windows Server 2008 one by one to see whether it makes any difference.
    To disable TCP Chimney Offload, follow these steps:
    a.   Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
    b.   At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
           netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
    To disable RSS, follow these steps:
    a.   Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
    b.   At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
           netsh int tcp set global RSS=disabled
    To disable 'Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level', follow these steps: :
    a.   Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
    b.   At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
           netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    I hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?

    Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?
    a) HP printer with USB port only (no ethernet port) connected to Airport Express
    b) No issue printing from Macs
    Tests
    1) Installed Bonjour 2 - does not find printer (now uninstalled)
    2) Bonjour 3 is listed in programs but no way to access
    3) Using TCPIP address (and no Bonjour) gives 'Unsupported Personality' error when printing test page
    Regards
    Richard
    p.s. why are all Windows 8.1 questios n the forum 'Locked' with no reply?

    This is possible, but not with Bonjour or any other fixes.  It is just a printer set up based on the Port name of the Airport, 10.0.1.1.
    I found the answer on YouTube, Title: Windows Printing For Apple AirPort Extreme without Bonjour Wireless wifi.

  • Can't print from Windows Explorer

    After installing the "HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a", on a Windows 7 64-bit PC, that is Ethernet connected, I get the following error message:
    Script Error
    An error has occurred in the script on this page.
    Line: 2061
    Char: 1
    Error: Invalid procedure call or argument
    Code: 0
    URL: res://ieframe.dll/preview.js
    When I try to print from Windows Explorer; however, I can print from other applications such as Word and Quicken OK, and I can print from Explorer OK from a Windows XP PC. Anyone have any suggestions?

    The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
    We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it.  Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
    1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
    2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
    3) Reboot
    4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
    5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
    6) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
    Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
    Thanks,

  • Upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011

    Even though Windows Server 2012 Essentials is being mentioned as a replacement for Windows Home Server 2011, there doesn't seem to be any documentation or mention of can you upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
    Will this work with the beta download and will we then be able to upgrade this version to the RC and/or release version?
    As you may guess I have a Windows Home Server 2011 and am interested in looking at Windows Server 2012 Essentials to see what it offers me. The storage spaces sounds exactly what I want to replace the drive extender on the previous home server version. The
    problem is that I don't mind sacrificing my present server box by installing the beta but it would be nice if it actually retained what settings it could via an upgrade option, which I could then have a chance of using with a proper release version.
     

    Just clarifying about the 'upgrade path' and 32b vs 64b.
    Yes, no in-place upgrade. However, one could theorise about some form of 'migration' being possible, where the list of users, the content of your shares, the current backups, would be 'moved' from old box to new.
    I was in fact pretty sure no such process existed. (Wouldn't it be neat though? AND in future _at least theoretically_ possible, using processes similar to SBS AD migration.)
    From this perspective putting the new box onto the network is similar to replacing WHSv1 with WHS11, in that nothing is carried over. No gain, but no lesser. Working on currently available information.
    The later comment about the work laptop is, TTBOMK, a resounding 'NO'. When attempting to join a member of another AD the 'connect' process stated 'You must 1st remove the PC from the other AD'. I haven't tested this extensively but believe that PC's _capable_
    of operating in an AD (Pro, vs Home, versions) will be made members of the WS12E AD. It is only PC's that do not have 'domain join' capability that are left in workgroup mode.
    TTBOMK, AFAICS, so far, etc...

  • Printing from Windows XP - indirect connection to printer

    I'm trying to print from Windows XP/Boot Camp from my MB Pro. When I print from OSX, I use the printer sharing option and print through my roommate's Mac which is directly connected to the printer (Epson).
    In browsing the threads on this issue, I have yet to see one that addresses an indirect connection to the printer.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Set it up and printing is a breeze.
