Printing Issues on PSC 1210xi with Vista thru DI-724U Router

I have a D-Link DI-724U router that has a built-in print server function. I have used it for several years with XP machines, and it works perfectly for running my HP PSC 1210xi printer. I just bought a new Vista machine, and I set up the printer. However, the printer freezes at the bottom of the first page every time I print.
I tried setting up the printer a few different ways on the vista machine:
1) I first set it up using the router's printer setup utility. No luck.
2) As a check, I connected the printer directly to the vista machine via USB, and it printed fine.
3) Then I tried setting it as a network printer through vista's print wizard. No luck.
4) Then I connected the USB directly to the vista machine again, set it up, verified it worked, then moved the printer back to the DI-724U and changed the printer port configuration to go through the IP port. No luck.
5) I also borrowed a 2nd vista machine to try it again to make sure it wasn't a problem specific to the machine. Same issue.
Any other ideas?

In case anyone else has this same issue, I found the following solution for a linksys printserver, and it ended up working for the d-link printserver as well. It was posted by flatlander on http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecarefirewall/thread/7b00d5f4-ca5e-40bb-a27d-6f37fa553b10. Here it is:
On LinkSys blog at http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Print_Servers&message.id=859 the following work around was posted by Mermaid3193 on 12 19 07:
After trying for several hours to get the Wireless printserver WPS54G installed under Windows Vista, I finally made it work. Below is the step by step process...
1) Download the setup utility
2) Run the utility and record the IP address it lists is for your printer
3) Add your printer
   A) For your install type it is a Wireless/Bluetooth/Network Printer
   B) Select my printer is not displayed text
   C) Select TCP/IP under the connection type and make sure the device type is set to TCP/IP. (Also, uncheck the option to automaticaly determine your printer driver)
    D) Fill in the IP address you used and make the port name IP_(your IP address)
   E) When it asks about the device type select custom and set the printer type to LPR with a que name of P1 or possibly L1.
   F) After the printer is installed, right-click on it in the printers folder and goto properties.
   G) From the properties page goto Ports and disable bi-directional printing.
   F) Still in the properties page goto advanced and select print directly to Printer.
4) Run a test print and ensure that everything works as it should.

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same problem with my Deskjet 960c and Vista OS. I really want to know how to clean the ink cartridges by using the Toolbox, which is inaccessible with Vista. The print quality has not improved with newly store bought HP ink cartridges, so I think they need to be cleaned. Hopefully someone has a solution to this issue.
Thank you!

Shared Printer Woes -- HP PSC 1210xi

Hey--
I keep trying to print on an HP PSC 1210xi printer that is shared from an XP machine. It shows up fine when I'm adding printers, and when I print on it it even shows the print job as completed, but I get an error on the XP computer in the print spooler window:
"Remote Downlevel Document -- Error-Printing"
I've tried Generic and HP Deskjet 900 as drivers, and to no avail. The most recent installer on the HP website doesn't detect my printer on the network. The only (complex) workaround that I've tried--involving a Ghostscript printer on the XP machine--is fickle and only works some of the time.
Please help if you could.

Any help would be greatly appreciated APPLE? I would love to print wirelessly to my computer. In Parallels, i have no problems printing in XP. But I guess, the term, "IT JUST WORKS" is so very much flawed.
No, IT DOES NOT JUST WORK!
C'mon Apple! What is it in XP that OSX can't do when it comes to printing.

Printer driver is not compatible with Vista

The software with my hp psc 1210 printer is incompatable with my new laptop with a Vista operating system. Loading this screws up my laptop shut down! How can I find a driver to download which suits Vista?

and why you post this here in forum for Toshiba notebook if your printer is not even a Toshiba product?
The driver for printer should be requested from the printer manufacturer and not from notebook/computer manufacturer.
I assume this is an older printer and the drivers were compatible only with Win XP and older.
So contact the printer manufacturer to get the drivers for Vista or Win 7
PS: How about these driver:

How do I set up a printer icon on my desktop with vista using an officejet pro 8500?

Help please, I have looked and looked for some file that will take me directly to the print screen to make a shortcut on my desktop, with no luck at all.

grrr .. please ignore. I updated my drivers on the powerbook, and all was fine. Very embarrased I am! I have been hunting for months and months cos I thought my drivers were up to date. Straight after I posted this question a cold shiver ran down my spine .. my drivers were up to date .. on the desktop ... only.

I have installed Windows Vista 64-bit on a new computer (HP of course) and want to be able to use HP's "Smart Web Printing" software. I have used it quite a bit on a Windows XP machine and love it. Looking at the download page, it appears that the Smart Web Printing software is not compatible with Vista 64-bit. Is this correct? Will a new version be coming out that will be compatible?
Have you tried installing it anyways and see what happens?

PSC 500 With Parallel Support In Windows 8

I have a neighbor that has to replace an older computer but would like to keep costs down by keeping the working printer/scanner, a PSC 500 with parallel port(no USB). The new PC she bought with Windows 8 has no parallel port, so I borrowed a Parallel to USB adapter from work. The adapter driver loaded successfully, but when I plugged in the printer cable and tried to add the new device Windows was unable to detect it.
According to the manual the adapter I have supports IEEE1284-1994. Would a different adapter possibly work better? HP claims to support this printer in Windows 8 but tech support on the phone wasn't familiar with the term "parallel port" and reminded me that the printer was well past its support lifetime.
If anybody has a working configuration for this or suggestions about how to get there I would love to know about them.

WRT110 crashes with Vista SP1 and Intel 3945

I have a WRT110 with the latest firmware 1.0.4, an a Dell XPS1330 with the Intel 3945abg wireless card and the latest drivers in Intel. When ever my laptop tries to connect the router crashes and drops all other connections with other wireless devies and wired devices. I also have another laptop running XP that works great on the wireless connection. It's same to say the problem is limited to the Vista machine and the Intel 3945 wireless card. Now sure what to do?

I have the same problem. Took me a while to figure out that when i connected my Toshiba laptop with Vista and Intel 3945 Router and network crashed couldnot even get the router accessed on hardwired computer. Everything returns back to normal when laptop disconnected from wireless network
Customer support was not able to help, called them twice. I solved by connecting an old wireless router to one of the ports of Linksys and connect my Vista laptop on that wireless network. That is not really a solution but if you'd like to, return the router until they can at least admit that there is a problem with compatibility, upgrading firmware on wireless adaptor did not help.

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.

Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2. I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440). I am unable to print pdf files. About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything. I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one. I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue. When in Reader, everything seems normal. When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens. I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print. I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem. I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation: it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc. I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong. It just will not print. Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

Hi,
Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
Is there a workaround for this issue?

Elements 4 Compatibility issue with Vista

Everything was fine 'till my old faithful pc, and Windows XP, went belly up. Now the new pc, with Vista won't allow the complete Elements program to operate. I'm told, "This program has known compatibility issues". If the issues are known, can someone please tell me how to resolve the issue. I can't seem to find any answer. I'm operating on a Hewlett Packard - HPw1707, and have an HP Photosmart C6270 all-in-one printer. 465 GB capacity. I'd really like to be able to work with Elements 4 and hope for help. Thanks

What exactly the problem is?
Is this printer not accessible through PSE4 or what?

Has anyone figured out how to print through Airport Express with Vista?

My wife has Vista on her laptop and everytime we try printing through the Airport Express/Bonjour it doesn't work. It might print one page and then stop, but never any further.
The latest Bonjour is installed.
Is there anything else?

Was this printer ever at one time connected to the Vista PC directly ? also with Vista ive seen issues with bonjour printers. Its due to either the firewall of this new junk they added in called windows defender. This application ive seen various results from it like it thought my install of Gears of War was a virus and etc. One thing you could even try doing is turn off the windows firewall and see if this resolves this issue. Seeing as this computer is behind a "hardware" firewall such as a router anyways you wouldnt really need to have the firewall on unless you had a strong need for the extra security

Please help with printing issues...

I used the "Real estate" template for newsletters in Pages '08, and the newsletter looks great, but when I print it out, the top box, the "real estate" box, prints just a blue box...not at all what I am looking at on the screen, everything else is great, and even when I click on preview after print, it looks great, but does not print out the right box...I even printed just the pages template, wondering if I had edited something wrong, but even the pages template does not print the top box as shown...I have also had a difficult time printing out coupons with bar codes on them...I know it is not the printer, as it is shared with a pc, and the coupon and pdf file print fine thru the pc...what am I doing, or is there a setting I have missed?? Thanks so much.

If its a problem printing from program AND Preview, that might imply a system problem, not a program issue. You said it was one of the template files.
Send me an email this weekend (so I can get your email without posting it up here). I will produce a pdf from my machine of the same template and email it back to you. See if that one prints correctly.
If it does, then we eliminated Preview or the printing subsystem as the problem, it is with Pages producing the pdf.
If it still prints bad, then its a system issue.
I see you have printed over and over with different methods, but I don't think I saw if you exported as a pdf and printed that. have you?
Get in touch and we can try it to help narrow down your search of where the problem resides,

Printing Issues with HP OfficeJet 100 and Windows 8.1

We use HP OfficeJet 100 mobile printers and have a printing issue.When we print the printer acts as if it is going to print and then prints one blank page.Printer will not print even though it is showing as default printer.Printer will just stop printing in the middle of a document, even in the middle of printing out a page. We are printing via the USB cableWe are using Windows 8.1We are connecting to laptopsWe have been using the HP mobile range of printers since 2004 and have only experienced these issues since we moved the laptops onto Windows 8/8.1 We have:Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers – this fixed this issue for a short while and then it reappeared againCalled HP support and they directed us to the driver support page which had the latest print drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with them on the phone. This initially fixed the problem and then it returned a few days laterAfter trawling the support forums found directions to change the print processor to “WinPrint” – No effect as the processor was already on this settingDownloaded the HP diagnostic tool – HP Print and Scan Doctor – didn’t fix anything Any further help would be much appreciated.

Hello there Lawrence, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I noticed your post about the troubles you are running into when you attempt to install your OJ 6100 printer on your Windows 8.1 laptop. I read all of your attempts and seen you have tried several methods to try and get the installation to complete successfully.
I would like to make some suggestions that may help. Let me know how it goes!
1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
Try to install
2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
How to disable realtime scans
Try the install
3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
Try the install
