Printing from windows 8.1 pro

i can't print form a windows 8.1pro computer
on network
it seams to send the information but the imac do nothing
i installed bonjour in a win7 and it runs ok
but on win8.1 pro dose not work
what can i do?

Printing to Mac printers from Windows computers sometimes doesn't work right over Bonjour. Usually, you can get it to work without Bonjour by putting the Mac and the PC on the same Workgroup, and adding the printer like any normal network device.
Before you do this though, may I ask if you attempted to connect this printer directly to your network, and circumvent the computer altogether? Also, what kind of printer is it?

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,
Dan

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?

Please post Parallels related questions on the Parallels forums as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

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.
(Apologies if I'm posting on the wrong section of this forum.)

I used Bonjour for Windows available from here;

Set it up and printing is a breeze.
Good luck.

Use printer from windows 7

I have a PC using Windows 7 plugged into my AirPort Time Capsule (2TB). My Canon (model MF4370dn) is plugged into the USB port on the AirPort Time Capsule. I have downloaded Bonjour from Apple.
I can't print from my PC. This was my printer before I purchased the AirPort unit, and it will print if I plug it directly into my PC. It is set as the default printer.
I also can't print from my new MacBook Pro laptop. The MacBook is communicating with the AirPort wirelessly, and I set the Canon as the default printer on the MacBook. A popup box told me that the driver for the Canon printer was unavailable from Apple, so I went to the Canon website to download a driver and it said that a driver was unavailable for MacBook.
Help!

Do not use USB.
This is a network printer.. plug it in via the network.
I looked it up and there are drivers available here.

Look at drivers on the latest Mavericks.. but they are universal.

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

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 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.

Can't print from Windows....

Using Windows 7 over Parallels Desktop, I can't print from Windows applications....
The driver was download, but Windows keep asking to connect printer.

Hi,
since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be better to ask such questions in the Parallels support forum.

[solved]printing from Windows 7 to ArchLinux server.

I have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … er_sharing
but cannot recognizing my printer from Windows 7 machine. I have added the workgroup in smb.conf but i don't know if should i put the password and where, i can go from w7 to archLinuxhost:631 and send a test page to print, but i cannot add to w7 the printer.

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,

Windows 7 Professional downgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro OEM

Hi,
I purchased new computers for a small business with Windows 8.1 Pro OEM licenses and disks. I was intending to install windows 7 Pro using downgrade rights but when I enter the product key that came with Windows 8.1 it gives me an error with "Invalid
Character".
How can I activate Windows 7 Pro using downgrade rights from Windows 8.1 Pro?
Thank you.
André Gomes

You cannot use a Windows 8.1 product key with a Windows 7 installation. You must "activate by phone" and hold on to speak with a Microsoft Activation
Specialist and explain your desire to invoke your downgrade rights to Windows 7. The Microsoft Activation Specialist will then review your request and if approved, will issue you an activation code for Windows 7.

Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)

Subject: Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)
I am also getting exactly the same problem, highlighting multiple pdf files right clicking and choosing "print" prints the first document, fails to close the adobe x window and sits there patiently untill it's manualy closed and then the next document prints - repeat - loop.
Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.

CANNOT PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 7 TO MY PHOTOSMART c7180 ALL-IN-ONE (I CAN SEE MESSAGES IN QUEUE)?

Hi,
I think you need to remove the queue. Please try:
    hold down the Windows key and press R.
    from the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
    if the machine asks for Admin you have to accept this,
    look down to the print spooler service, right click it and select properties
    click on the Stop button,
    browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\printers
    delete the job inside this folder
    reboot the machine

Hi,
Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:
