Printing in Classic mode, no USB ports?!

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a repeated topic, but I couldn't find the answer. I have a Blue and White G3 running OS X.2 and I can print with my USB Epson CX4600 in 10.2, and I can print in 9.2 when I restart in 9.2, but I can't print in OSX from any application running in classic environment. It seems that 9.2 doesn't see the USB ports in the chooser.
Any advice??
Joey

This will sometimes happen when switching back and forth from OS9 to OSX and back again. The only way I have found to fix this is normally you have to eiter reset the Printer and sometimes the Computer and sometimes you have to do both.
I find that Unplugging the Printer for a minute and shutting off the computer, ( NOT RESTART) OFF.
Check all your cables then Plug back in your printer and then restart your computer and you will be good.
Remember switching back and forth or working from one Operating System to another and back again will sometimes cause this.

  • Cannot print from Canon MF4412 through USB port of Time Capsule

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently purchased a new Canon imageCLASS MF4412 and cannot print while connected to the USB port of the time capsule. I can print and scan perfectly when connected directly to the mac.
    This is the exact steps I took:
    1.After connecting the usb cable to the back of Time capsule, I go to the sys pref pane to add a printer.
    2.It shows up as a 'Bonjour' and I had to manually select the driver.
    3.It added fine and I thought everything was setup.
    4.However, when i go to print something, there's an error. "Canon URF II Printer Driver"
    "Cannon communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again. Then, if the Print Dialog box has a [Printer Info] button, acquire the printer information: 10322"
    Anybody know of a solution?
    Thanks.

    I got a similar problem on MF4412, the canon 4412 is connected the newest airport extreme , it get configured. But I got same problem described about on my leopard, lion, even worst on iOS, it does not find the printer. But I got a Windows 7 starter NetBook ...haha it works, I can print it from Windows. what is the problem then,it works on Windows but not Apple's OS??????

  • Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

    I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
    I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
    Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
    Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
    Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

  • I have a HP Laserjet P1102w printer hooked up to the USB port of my Airport Extreme. I'm able to print to the printer wirelessly from my MacBook Pro. My iPad (2nd gen) can't find the printer. What do I need to do?

    My iPad is on the same network as the Airport Extreme. The HP printer is on the list of Airprint printers but I'm not using it as a wireless printer, per se, as it's hooked up to the USB port on the Airport Extreme.
    I installed the HP ePrint app on my iPad. Unfortunately, the app could not find the printer either. 
    As mentioned earlier, I'm able to print wirelessly to the HP printer via my MacBook Pro.

    Since I'm able to print to the HP printer from my MacBook Pro using this configuration, shouldn't I be able to print to the printer from my iPad, especially when all of the devices are on/using the same network?
    Not necessarily. AirPrint uses a protocol separate from the communication protocol used for the Extreme's USB port. The HP printer may disable AirPrint when its USB port connected to a valid device, which is my reason for recommending you use it wirelessly.
    From AirPrint Basics:
    AirPrint printers connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported.
    AirPrint printers connected by Ethernet are supported in OS X.
    You may get more competent assistance from HP. See this HP support forum topic: iPhone & iPad can't Airprint to p1102w LaserJet
    HP's Mac support has always been miserable though. I have been much happier since I abandoned HP and started buying Brother printers. They just work.

  • HP6110 printer connecting to wireless router USB port

    I have an HP Officejet 6110 all-in-one printer, a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7, and a Hitron wireless Router CGN3ROG.
    I am trying to get the printer on to my home network by plugging it into the USB port on the router. I cannot get it to work. Has anyone succeeded in doing this?

    Hello @Derek_W,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're trying to connect the Officejet 6110 to your home network by plugging a USB port to your router. I will do my best to assist you! If this is your printer here, you cannot do this. You have to use a USB cord to your printer and computer. I will provide the Manual here. On page 55, explains on how to connect your printer.
    If you have a different model number, then please let me know. If you have any further questions let me know as well. Have a great night!

  • So i have a 32gb ipod classic and the usb port is never recognized??

    So my ipod is a 32 gb classic but i can't really use it because the usb port will not connect to my computer or anyone else's. the only reason why it's not completely useless is because i can still charge it using the firewire port but i can't restore it or put new songs on it or anything. i can only charge it. the usb port on my computer works just fine so i'm thinking the problem is with my ipod. any suggestions on how to confront the problem??

    What you maybe missing are the cables, the current USB iPod Dock cables dont work on this iPod, the
    M8948LL/A* - A1040 was designed before Apple switch over from Firewire to USB2.0. for all iPod interface.
    If you want to use it on a Windows PC, you got to format to FAT32, and your PC must have Firewire (IEEE 1394 port), for syncing or
    else you got to get a special "iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 + FireWire Cable" from Apple store (I dont think they have it in stock but you can try eBay or Amazon. But these are meant to be used by connecting the Firewire to the Wall Charger and the USB end to the Windows PC USB2.0 port. If your PC has both USB and Firewire, and you connect them both simultaneous, it will corrupt your iPod formware.
    It can connect to Macs that have Firewire ports, you can try Mac with USB2.0 port, but I dont think it will work.
    Stick to Mac, it will give you less problems.

  • Epson Printing in Classic mode using a wireless network

    I have an OS X powerbook connecting to a wireless network. The user I'm working with has a Classic application that she needs to be able to print from. I am able to set her up to print fine in OS X wirelessly, but can't figure out what to do for classic. She is trying to print to an Epson C86, and the problem is that I can not find a PPD file for this printer. I was going to set her up using the desktop printer utility and LPR. The problem is that the generic driver doesn't work for her, and I can't use the chooser to select this printer with the wireless network. Any suggestions?? I have been told that AppleTalk will not work over a wireless network so I'm sort of at a loss of what to do next. Thanks !!!
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Ended up not printing wirelessly! Couldn't find a work around

  • Documents won't print in Classic mode

    My machine is running OS 10.3.9. I have two programs on this machine that require classic to run and I can't print from either program. I get a Laserwriter 8 error -5751. I have used these same two programs on OS 10.2.8 and they print with no problem. I have tried printing to an HP LaserJet 4200 and a HP Color LaserJet 4500. I have updated my printer driver and re-installed Laserwriter 8. Does anyone have any ideas?

    This may or may not be your problem,but
    It depends on how you are set up.
    I have the printer set up utility for OS9 in Classic
    And I also have the same in OSX.
    I have an older HP that I downloaded from the disk to OS9 and the exact same in OSX.
    Be sure that when you download any updates or upgrades from HP's site they are in the correct Operating Systems folders, for the printer to work in both..
    OS9 or Classic drivers and setup will not work in OSX. Likewise the same is true of OSX to Classic or OS9.. Sometimes it can get a little silly but you can make it work...Don

  • Printing from iMac using bonjour to a printer connected to netgear wifi router USB port

    Wondering if someone could help provide advice. I have just purchased my first iMac and a new NetGear W600 wifi router. I have connected my Canon multifunction MX310 printer directly to my iMac and it prints and scans perfectly. However when I connect it to the USB port of my new NetGear W600 wifi modem the only thing I can print is the test page on the iMac, ... nothing else prints. I receive the message that my iMac has connected to the printer but nothing prints out, except the basic test page.
    In stark contrast, when I install bonjour on my Dell notebook PC, running Vista, it prints perfectly to the same MX310 printer connected to the NetGear wifi router!

    Hi, Thanks for your help. I am trying to get documents printing to the canon printer in wifi mode, via bonjour, when the printer is connected to the USB port of my NetGear wifi router. I have a wifi internet connection via the same NetGear wifi router so it doesn't seem to be a network connectivity issue. ... any other ideas?
    Many Thanks

  • Printing from MacBook Pro to a Printer Connected to the USB Port on A MacG5

    November 17, 2009
    Apple Tells Me: It is completely valid to connect the HP 4360 printer (not wireless) to the USB Port of my MacG5 and print pages from my MacBook Pro if I select Print Share in the Apple Preferences of my MacG5. The MacBook Pro and MacG5 are connected through a Router and a wired Local Area Network through a Router.
    HP Tells Me: Since the D4360 is not a wireless printer and since it is not supported to print from a MacBook Pro on the same wired local area network also connected to a MacG5 computer. In particular, they said that use of the Print Share option on the MacG5 to print from the MacBook Pro will cause damage to the HP D4360 printer or print driver and when this occurs it will invalidate the warranty on the HPD4360.
    Questions:
    1. Is there any validity to the HP answer on this subject??
    My analysis to date says that the Apple statement is 100% true, with the exception that if the driver is damaged it can be restored without any damage to the printer.
    2. Is there any documentation of the HP concern?

    Is there any validity to the HP answer on this subject?
    No. It's very difficult for any software to damage a hardware component, and on the rare case the driver becomes damaged, which is also highly unlikely, it won't affect the printer's warranty.

  • USB ports don't work after resuming from standby with Windows 8 on X230 tablet

    I have just done a clean install of Windows 8 on my X230 tablet.  Before installing Windows 8 I installed the most recent BIOS for this machine (version 2.50).  After installing Windows 8 I installed System Update from the Lenovo Website and downloaded all the recommended drivers and other files.  I've also installed all the latest Windows 8 updates.
    Here are the symptoms of my problem: After resuming from standby/sleep mode, my USB ports do not work.  My computer has two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 ports.  All exhibit the same behavior.  After resuming from standby mode I have tried inserting both my mouse and a USB thumbdrive, but neither are recognized.  After restarting Windows, the USB ports work again... until I resume from standby mode again.
    I hope there is a solution to this issue.  It is very frustrating.

    Thanks for the suggestion about tweaking the "Allow this computer to turn off this device" feature.  I un-checked that box for every entry I could find under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" in the Devide Manager.  Unfortunately, the same symptoms of my problem persisted.
    I went back and looked at the README file associated with the BIOS 2.50 download on Lenvo's support site.  At the bottom of the file it gives a "Summary of Changes".  Under version 2.03 of the BIOS (the version just before version 2.50), it says:
    - (Fix) Fixed an issue where USB device might not detected when system resume from sleep mode.
    This indicates that Lenovo support was already aware of such issues.  The problem was intended to be fixed in version 2.03 of the BIOS.  However, the issue persists on my machine, even with the latest BIOS.
    Hopefully someone from Lenovo can comment here.

  • Q190 USB Port Power

    I have had a Q190 for about a month. In spite of the reviews/comments that I have seen on the Q180, I am greatly satisfied with this machine. I've even become accustomed to Windows 8! :-)
    Here's my issue: When the machine is in Sleep Mode, the USB Ports seem to go into a reduced power state. I want to charge my Iphones. etc., but the USB Ports (which will charge it normally) will stop charging in Sleep Mode.
    I know that there is SOME power to the ports during sleep mode, because I have an LED Backlit Keyboard, and THAT remains lit during sleep mode. So, presumably, the USB Ports are going into some sort of "reduced power state" on System Sleep.
    I have made (what I think), are all the proper OS changes (usb controllers are set to not allow the PC to turn off the usb, (box unchecked) and the usb selective suspend mode in advanced power settings is set to disabled). I'm also using the High Performance Power Plan. I see NO option for USB Power in the BIOS.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the USB Ports on Full Power during system sleep. I know this can be done on many Windows Systems, as I have colleagues who do it regularly.
    TIA! :-)

    hi LeonS,
    Can you try to:
    1. Press the Winkey+R > type devmgmt.msc
    2. On the Device Manager, navigate to Human Interface Devices
    3. Do a right click > properties on all HID-compliant device and USB input Device and enable Allow this device to wake the computer under the Power Management Tab.
    4. Close the device manager, put the computer to sleep and try to connect a gadget that supports USB charging
    Let me know your findings
    Cheers

  • Problem when plugging in M-Audio into USB port

    Hi there,
    Whenever I plug in my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra into the USB drive, the screen greys out and it comes up with a message that I have to restart by holding down the power button.
    Once I've done this it works fine, and there are no issues while using the interface (with Logic 9), and I've tried it on both USB drives.
    Any ideas of what I can do to stop this from happening/whether it's a problem with the computer or the interface?
    My laptop  specs are below.
