Printing issues on network printer (Sharp MX-N700N)

Hi all,
Well my issue is twofold really. Primarily, I need to be able to print to a network printer which is the Sharp MX-M700N. Now it's on a windows network, so I added it to my printer list via it's IP address. So far so good...so now I have the latest driver avaialble from the Sharp consumer website (sharp-usa.com) and what happens is anytime I try to print anything, the job automatically goes on pause. Even if I click resume, it then pauses again immediately.
Now the second part of my issue, is that other people in my office who are also on Macs running 10.5.2 have added this printer via it's IP, but they used an older driver (for version 10.4.x) that was downloaded off of the Sharp service site, accessible only by authorized technicians. Now here's the thing....they can print to it perfectly.
So immediate thought is...use the driver they're using right? Well, when I try to install that driver, it's telling me it can't because a newer version is already installed. I've gone into Macintosh HD > Library > Printers to find the driver to try and delete it, but there's tons of stuff in the Sharp folder there and I'm worried about just randomly deleting files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Reading through your post, you may find that the latest driver you have will work, you just might have to ensure you have the correct protocol selected and queue name entered. If you look at one of the other Mac's that is working, you can select the print in the list, select 'Open Print Queue' and then select the Info icon. This will display the General tab and in the lower section next to URI will be the protocol and queue used; ex lpd://ip_address/print.
If you do have the exact settings in your Mac, and you want to look at removing the driver, then check that an uninstaller is not included with the driver installer. I've seen with the Canon copier drivers, you have the option to Uninstall and this removes all the files located in /Library/Printers/Canon/PS. Hopefully you have something the same for the Sharp.
If not, then copy the contents of the Sharp folder to another location and then delete the original folder contents.

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

  • Samsung Galaxy S3 Issues - No Network Connection! Please Help.

    I have had my S3 for a few weeks now with no issues.
    Suddenly in the last two days, my phone is silent for a while, which is uncommon. I generally have a consistent stream of notifications, emails, texts, etc.  So when I picked up the phone, the 4GLTE signal is usually located, I saw a Ø icon.  I thought that was weird but thought maybe I was in a bad coverage area.  So I walked around outside the office building and got a notification when I clicked the Internet app, "No Network Connection."
    Of course, I initially thought the SIM card was maybe messed up.  I restarted the phone, and all was well.  Then yesterday, the same thing!  Now this morning my alarm goes off at 4:30am like always - only I get up to get ready for the gym and I see it's only 3:30.  The auto-detect for time zone is wacky.
    Upon googling no network connection with the galaxy, I see some S2 users had this same issue.  Is this a phone issue?  Network issue?  SIM issue?  It's done it twice in the last two days, so I don't know if I need to contact Verizon or what!
    Thanks for any advice you can give.

    It's really funny that anyone believes Verizon when they say an OTA is coming "soon" or "next month" or "next week".  They only tell you these things to placate you and get you off the phone.  They have no idea when an OTA is being rolled out!!!
    Verizon is the absolute worst provider when it comes to timely phone updates.  How long did it take for Verizon to update the Nexus compared to the GSM version?  6+ months!! 
    Be prepared to wait that long for an OTA to fix the dropped call issue, the data reception issue, the SIM card issue and the time zone issue.

  • Print issue over network with Vista

    Hello,
    hope this is the right place for this message. I have a dymo 400 turbo installed and working properly on my imac. I want to be able to print to it from my wives vista home laptop. In Vista I goto add it and it does see it on the network and show the imac it installs it but will not print says its unable to connect.
    Any suggestions? I m assuming this a is Vista issue not seeing the imac correctly? I have a HP Officejet connected to my router directly and that prints on both machines fine.
    Thanks,
    MARK

    Can't be 100% sure - I don't have one of those.
    Mac print queues expect to receive postscript, so try changing the driver on Vista to a postscript one, like Apple Color Laserwriter.

  • Printer issue with network printer model # laserjet 4350tn

    printjobs of multiple pages is inserting blank pages in the job ex. if its an 6 page job it will mix in 1-2 blank pages in between.
    Is it mechanical a setting on the printer itself or the printer properties on the network that is causing it.
    Users experiencing issue have windows xp

    after perhaps 1/4 page of print I get an "out of memory" error message.
    You are probably using background printing. Your print image is written to a spool file and the keyboard is freed up for your use, while the de-spooler (such as Print Monitor, Espon3 Background, or whatever that printer uses) works in the background, sending your document to the printer.
    The out-of-memory message is likely coming from the de-spooler, not the Mac OS. To fix, either allocate more memory to your de-spool program, or print "live" and endure not being able to use the keyboard while your document prints.
    I have max ram installed (384MB)
    Contrary to what the knowledgebase says, all models and all revisions of Beige G3 can run 3*256 MB RAM, for a maximum of 768 MB total, provided you install the correct 256 MB modules for a Beige or Blue & White G3. There are module height limits for the desktop model, modest ones for the tower, and for all practical purposes none for the All-In-One.
    If I boot straight into OS 9, ... the USB port doesn't show up in the port list.
    If you are using the same image for Classic and Mac OS 9, you may not have the correct Mac OS 9 drivers for the USB card installed. The simplest fix is to re-install Mac OS 9, taking care to Re-install all Networking items. It is not destructive, and generally takes only a few minutes.

  • Formatting issue with network printer

    I have a bitmap report with a repeating frame (1/2" X 2") that
    prints 3 across and 10 down per page in Reports 10g(9.0.4)
    Text inside the frame is size 8 Helvetica. I am getting a huge difference
    in formatting when I send it directly to network printer(in Unix) versus
    when I do STD Screen in Pdf format and send it to local printer in windows.
    Output in network printer is bigger and wider, it almost overflows from the
    page, where as its perfectly fine when I display the output in Pdf and send it to
    local printer.
    Is there a way to fix this problem so the output looks exactly the same whether
    you send it to network printer or to pdf?
    thanks

    Hi Arniko,
    Have a look at : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/bi.904/b13673/pbr_font.htm I think it offers a good starting point to troubleshoot the issues when printing fonts in reports on Unix.

  • Printing issues on network printer (Xerox Phaser 4500DT)

    I need to be able to print to a network printer which is a Xerox Phaser 4500DT. It is simply networked from its IP address. I have the latest driver. Every time I try to print anything the job automatically goes on pause. If I click resume, it does print, but this takes time, every time I print. The URL is "pap://*/Phaser%204500DT/LaserWriter".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I can no longer print multiple jobs to any of my Phaser 4500 machines(N/DT)? If the printer is clear, the job will spool and print.
    If more than one job is sent or multiple users print at the same time, the local print queue is changed to 'PAUSE PRINTER' - I have tried printing via Appletalk, Bonjour & IP printing, the same problem occurs.
    Why does 10.5.6 not allow you to spool and queue a print job any more? This is VERY frustrating in a busy office with multiple users attempting to print at the same time! - Any advice would be gratefully received!

  • Issue with network printing after installation of 10.5.6.

    Ehhmm, sorry if I disturb, but can you help me? I cannot print/scan over wireless time capsule since I have installed 10.5.6. The printer is connected to a windows cable network. Before everything performed perfectly. The printer is a HP Photosmart 3210 all in one. I have already installed the newest software.
    Thnk you. CP

    i tried the firewall settings, but that didn't help.
    after reading for hours, downloading useless drivers, resetting the printer, plugging and unplugging and on and on, i uninstalled and then reinstalled by HP printer software (the disc that came with the printer years ago) for the second time. Configured the printer with the printer USB plugged into my Airbook. That was never the problem - always worked fine.
    Then I turned the printer off, plugged the USB into the Airport Extreme Base Station, unplugged the Airport Extreme Base Station, plugged it back in, turned the printer on. And lo and behold when i went to my SysPrefs, Print and Fax, and added another printer, it was recognized as a bonjour printer (that was always the case - the hold up was that it wouldn't find an appropriate driver), and when I chose AutoSelect for the driver, it came up with one! This was where the hang up was before. It selected a 2.2.9 driver, and when the printer is plugged directly into my computer via USB it uses a 4.0.1 driver - who knows why. but it's printing.
    i had also read that it might be impossible to run this particular HP officejet all-in-one (5510v) wirelessly, so i'm very happy. hope this can help someone else.

  • Aperture 3.01 Not printing sharp

    Hi.
    I have noticed that when I print from inside Aperture to my Canon MP990 (using Canon Photo Paper Pro II and the relevant Colour Profile), the pictures do not look as sharp as I would expect, based on what I see on the screen.
    As I am a newly convert to Mac (and therefor not 100% sure what to expect really), I had a play with different paper/profile combinations, but was still not happy.
    I then tried an "Edit With External Editor" (Photo Shop CS4, TIFF 8bit 300DPI). After the export to Photo Shop ALL I did was print (i.e. no sharpening or tweaking), using same paper/color profile as from within Aperture. I was amazed to see a perfect print. They are much sharper and look crisp, with perfect colours.
    I understand there has been/still is some issues with the "print" functionality in Aperture, but I would like to know if anyone else has similar issues. At least I now know NOT to print directly from Aperture if I want crisp looking pictures
    Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.

    Hello Ernie and thank you for your inputs.
    Using the Canon Printer Driver there is not as such a "Color Management OFF" function (that I am aware of). However to quote Canon Help;
    +"*For Mac OS X v.10.5.x*+
    +When you want to print by using the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data effectively or _by specifying a printing ICC profile from your application software, select ColorSync_+."
    It goes on to say;
    +" Select color correction - Select the item below that matches your purpose.+
    ColorSync
    +You can print by using the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data effectively.+
    +Depending on the application software, when a printing ICC profile is specified from that application software, Vendor Matching cannot be selected because ColorSync is selected automatically.+"
    As far as I understand This is the same as "Color Management OFF", as it is managed by the application. By the way these settings are the same when printing from both applications.
    Regarding Proofing Preview, I've set the profile to match the Printer Profile for the paper I use and then tried printing with and without the preview on.
    Cheers
    Henrik

  • How I install printer sharp al-2050cs??

    I would like to know how I install a Sharp AL-2050cs printer in my apple computer.

    There is no software to enable this device to work with a Mac.  The printer language is proprietary (SPLC Sharp Printer Language with Comprression) printer language.  I cannot find where Sharp ever supported this printer on a Mac.

  • Photosmart 8750 won't print sharp black and white photos

    I am trying to print some black and white photographs using my photosmart 8750 printer.  Up until now, I have just done color photographs.  After printing my first black and white photograph, I'm very disappointed.  While it is definitely gray scale, the dark black colors in the photo aren't coming out black at all...just a shade of gray.  I have the gray photo cartridge installed.  Is that my problem?  Everywhere I read, it says that is what should be used.

    Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. Does the diagnostic page print properly?

  • Many issues with network of 2 AE and one AEBS

    I have a well functioning small WDS network of two airport express (AE) stations, a wireless printer, a G4 iMac and a 12" PB. One of the AE is hooked into the cable modem with an ethernet cable and is set-up as the main base station. The other functions as a remote to extend the network.
    I bought an Airport Extreme N base station (AEBS). My intention is to use it as a a file server. I've attached a powered USB hub and two USB hard drives to it. I'd also like it to be available on my existing WDS network, so I needn't change networks everytime I want to access files through the AEBS.
    The AEBS has version 7.0. I haven't been able to update the version in Airport Utility, because it kind of hangs up (stays at 0%) and then fails.
    Problems:
    1) to solve the firmware update issue: Do I need to set-up the AEBS to access the internet first? When I'm on my small WDS network, I can't see the base station, since it is setup as a separate network. When I switch to the AEBS network, obviously I do not have internet access. So how do I update the firmware? What could be the reason for the update error?
    2) The AEBS file sharing network was available yesterday, but today I can not access it from my Mac (neither the Mac nor the AEBS was put to sleep or powered down during that time). I was in the process of erasing the whole HD so I could do a fresh wireless backup. The menu bar icon for the airport disc shows my AEBS disk, but I can't connect to it. I enter my password to access the AEBS network and then the connection fails. What could be the cause? Do I need to reset the AEBS everytime? Is there an automatic logoff somehwere I need to disable?
    3) I tried manually setting up the AEBS to join my WDS network. I followed all the instructions: i.e. adding the MAC address of the AEBS to my main station setup and indicating the AEBS to participate in a wireless network as a remote relay and adding the main station MAC to the setup. Channels are set-up automatically. DHCP is also automatic. However, I get an eror message when updating it. Basically it will say someting to the effect that the AEBS can no longer be found. What could be the cause of this?
    (Airpot Utility worked great when I added my second AE to the WDS network. But when doing exactly the same for the AEBS, I get error messages as above.)

    I solved all my problems mentioned above. It took a while to figure out.
    First I discovered that connecting the Airport Extreme N Basestation (AEBS) to an existing WDS network gave me continuous errors: I couldn't update the firmware from 7.0 to 7.1.1 etc.
    So I reset my Airport Express (Ax) which was previously acting as a remote and I reset the AEBS. I kept the Ax (which was acting as a main station and is attached by ethernet to the cable modem) as is. I set up all 3 near each other.
    While keeping the reset Ax and AEBS in default settings, I selected my existing Network in the airport menu icon and then I selected the AEBS in the Airport Utility and was able to update the firmware of the AEBS.
    Settings for the Ax acting as a main station: WDS settings: Participate in WDS; allow wireless clients. Internet: I set connection sharing to "share public IP address". DHCP and NAT at default settings. Channel 6. ( I discovered that the main station and the two remotes need to be on the same channel!). Set up as a main station, allow wireless clients and and added Mac addresses of the Ax and AEBS. Updated.
    Then I started by adding the AEBS the WDS Network created by the main station: participate in network; allow network to be extended = off. Set up as a WDS remote. Allow wireless clients. Added main station Mac address. Internet connection sharing = off. File sharing enabled. Channel 6. Updated.
    Same set-up for the Ax as a remote.
    Now I can access my two USB drives wirelessly over the network and each remote has an IP address.
    I did a speed test over my wireless connection for internet speed. Results: Download: 9442 kBit/s
    Upload: 1006 kBit/s
    Answer time: 13ms
    So everything is OK!
