Printing on printers shared on XP box

this is to do with two printers I have at home. a HP 1010 and a Cannon iP5000. When I plub then into the mac they are detected and pick up the correct drives. However when I share them on the XP box (I'm using it as a file and print share box for the rest of the network) I can't seem to find the right drivers for it. I downloaded the GIMP drivers but they still don't appear. Alot of other posts suggest holding down the option key when clicking more printers which will give and advanced option - I've tried this but nothing happens - it just goes to the select printer page.
I'm sort of running out of ideas.........

I don't think "Advanced" will give you any option you need -- but if you can't get to it, that may indicate a problem with your OS X installation. When I hold down the option key and click More Printers, I get the printer browser window, and the only change is that the very top pull-down menu has the "Advanced" choice at the bottom of the list.
I think you were on the right track by downloading/installing the Gutenprint 5.0.0 drivers. There is definitely a Laserjet 1010 driver there. Unfortunately, the only newer Canon inkjet in there is the iP4000. (PAHU is pretty knowledgable about Canons - he'll probably respond here, too. Maybe the iP4000 driver will work for your iP5000?) I know for certain that the iP5000 is supported for network printing by the printfab drivers (www.printfab.net).
If you haven't already, Repair permissions and restart the Mac and try Adding the printers again.

Sorry for late reply i was not at work
I have a default set excel is still throwing error. Interestingly winword , powerpoint and publisher are working fine. I am able to print from all office applications except Excel.
Probably excel behaves differently from other office applications.
Probably it is a bug in excel
Workaround : Log on to a system once using newly created account then runas excel using this account then print works fine.
It means something in user profile should be configure to run excel print operation. Could you please somebody help what I need to configure in user profile that makes print operation success?

Help Acrobat Pro XI will only print to "all files" even though printers show up in box

I have acrobat pro XI and now even though my functioning printer(s) show up in the box where you chose the printer you want to use, matter what i chose it always tries to save the print job as an"all files" format. The printers are fine they work with everything else. It is strange no matter what I pick all it wants to do is save as an "all files" file. Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks

Make sure the “print to file” option is deselected in the “Advanced” options of the print dialog.

Can´t print on my Shared Printers

After Mavericks upgrade I can't print to my shared printers. The shared printer's are one Canon MP210 and one Canon MP 240. They are connected to an iBook with 10.5.8 with the most recent drivers from canon.
Both printers are printing fine with my other computers and I'm also capable of printing with Mavericks computer when I make a direct usd connection,
I also can share files beteween the iBook and the iMac w/Mavericks. I can even share the screen. But when i try to print I get the error: Stopped on server - Unable to write uncompressed document data
Any ideias?
I already reset the printing system
Download the latest drivers

Hi PAHU,
Thanks for your reply.
Both drivers are the same. The ones in the iBook and the ones in the iMac and other computers.
I can print from these drivers on the iMac as long as I do it with a direct USB connection. I can also print with the same drivers from all the others computers to the shared iBook and from the iBook.
It seems a communications issue on mavericks...

Adding network/shared printer that's on a Windows box

Hi all,
I was wondering how I could add a printer that is on a windows box;
to be more specific, I know I can add it...but the problem is that os x will only add it as a generic postscript driver...it won't add it as the printer itself (a Canon iP3000). I've tried choosing the appropriate printer driver but it's not listed..I've installed the package manuallly and still nothing.
any help?

The Canon-supplied driver is for USB only. Get Gutenprint from here:

Tiger machines can't print to Leopared shared printer

I have an HP Laserjet 1320 connected to my Mac Mini (Leopard) and this works as expected with that machine. I have tried sharing this, and other machines on my network (all running Tiger) can connect to port 631 on the Mini and print test pages. However, they can't actually print anything from any application. Instead, a dialog box saying simply "Error while printing" pops up.
All the Mini's cups logs look fine, but the other machines say such things as:
I [13/Nov/2007:20:09:26 +0000] Added remote printer "HPLaserJet_1320series@utovogh"...
E [13/Nov/2007:20:09:35 +0000] getprinterattrs: resource name '/printers/ ' no good!
Configuring the printer as an IPP printer rather than relying on bonjour gives different effects. The job starts to print but then the printer is stopped. The printing machines' logs say:
I [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Connected to utovogh.local...
D [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Getting supported attributes...
E [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] PID 412 stopped with status 1!
E [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Destination printer does not exist!
Has anyone any suggestions?

Eventually I discovered the following.
When setting up the client machines to print to the shared printer, the machine hosting the printer identified itself with bonjour as $HOSTNAME.local. Upon looking at http://localhost:631 on the client machines I noticed that the printer was identified as $PRINTER_NAME@$HOSTNAME, the ".local" part having disappeared. So, the solution was to add an entry to /etc/hosts on the clients.
Next, to find out why printing is so slow from the clients...

Parental control problem printing to a shared printer

Hello chaps,
Here's an annoying one.
Two Macs, both running OS X 10.6.3. They are both on a wireless LAN, once has a Canon Pixma 4200 printer directly connected via USB with Printer Sharing turned on - Everyone allowed to print.
The problem: When my wife prints to the shared printer from her machine it works fine. When my kids try to print from their Parental Control-controlled account it doesn't.
The job comes up in the print queue but with On hold (authentication required) next to it.
The account has the box ticked to allow administration of Printers.
I can find no place to Authenticate, to get the job to print, even via the CUPS Web interface (that I'm not an expert in).
All clues gratefully received.
Anyone have anu clues

Cannot Print to a Shared Windows Printer

I posted about this in a similar thread, but I was told to create a new post since it is a slightly different problem.
I have a Canon MP150 printer, hooked up to an XP desktop on my home network. I have almost no problems with filesharing, etc. with the XP computer from my Macbook. But printing is a different story.
In the course of setting up the printer in the Print Setup Utility on my Mac, I was not asked for a username or password during the setup as various forums and guides said I would be. I don't password-protect my Windows account, so maybe that's why.
Nonetheless, I could see and select the printer I had shared on the XP computer. I selected the Generic model since the MP150 isn't listed. Gimp-print doesn't support it either. Everything seemed fine. Then I tried to print. I received no error message at all, but nothing happened. The print dialog box went away on the Mac's screen, but the printer did nothing.
I looked in the print setup utility, and it still had the job I had told it to print sitting there obstinately not printing or even giving me an error message so that I could find out what's going on. Any ideas?
Macbook 2.0 Ghz 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hmm, thanks for the link... it sounds like a really
useful app. However, the Canon MP150 is not in its
list of supported printers, and I'd hate to shell out
the cash if it's not going to work.
If it is not in their list then there are NO solutions for that printer.
Though at this
point I'd shell out any amount if I know it WILL
work. Any other possibilities?
Personally I would get rid of that printer and but a Canon printer with integrated print server.

Remote App, Printer properties opens behind redirect dialog box

We noticed an issue in July 2013 with all redirect printers using RemoteApps on Server 2008R2.
When you clicl on File>Print and sleclt properties, the dialog box is opening behind the Windows windows telling you the printer has been redirectd by RDC. You can see the Printer Preferences and the only way to bring the window the front is
to click on the Window Title bar of the window.
I've seen others posting the same issue, but I haven't seen a resolution.

Hi,
I had the same problem in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
I downloaded the fix KB3036965
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3036965
and installed it on 2 test pc who had the problem. After I Installed the hotfix I worked.
But as Shimon Adimor say’s it is very annoying with the dialog box that appears, that informs you that the printer has been redirected. The KB3036965
does not fix this dialog. So if there is some solution to disable this dialog box it would be nice.
Thanks

Printing to a shared Windows printer

I can't seem to print to a shared Vista printer on my home network. I've scoured the Internet and this support site and have run into brick walls. According to the Apple web site: "Shared Windows printers automatically appear in the Mac OS X Printer Setup Utility so they can be added to the Macintosh as a local printer queue."
This isn't happening for me. When I bring up the Printer Setup Utility, I get the "Printer List". I click on "Add". I get the "Printer Browser". In the protocol selector, there are three protocols, none of which relate to Windows. So I click "More Printers..."
A secondary printer browser appears. I select "Windows Printing" in the top selector and "Home" (my Windows workgroup name) in the selector below that. I see three entries. These are the three computers on my home network (1 iMac, 2 Vista PCs). There are no printers.
There should be one printer, but there isn't. And that's the roadblock. I can access the shared folders on the computers in the network from my MacBook Pro and the Vista computer with no local printers can print to the shared Vista printer.
At work, I can print from this MacBook to a printer that is served by a Windows server of some kind. But on my home network, my iMac, my MacBook Pro, and my son's PowerBook are all equally unable to detect and print to the shared Vista printer. I should add that when the two Windows computers were running WinXP, the same problem existed.
My gut tells me that there is one tiny setting on either the PC or the Macs isn't set right. If anyone can enlighten me, I would be forever grateful.
Thanks,
Mike

I have a similar problem trying to network two Macs and a PC for printer and file sharing. I too have the nagging feeling that there's one simple setting somewhere that would cure the problem. I posted a query a week ago (4/21) and got a response from iFelix who directed me to web pages he's posted with step-by-step instructions on setting up Macs and PCs for printer and file sharing:
Sharing files between an XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x
http://tech.ifelix.net/3020.html
Printing to a printer on a XP PC from a Mac running 10.4.x
http://tech.ifelix.net/3015.html
Printing to a printer on a Mac from a PC running Windows XP

The instructions didn't solve my problem but perhaps they will yours.

Printing to a shared printer on Windows 7 from 10.6

I have two MacBooks running Snow Leopard and I'd like to print to a shared printer on a Windows 7 desktop PC. I've tried putting all three computers on the same WORKGROUP but I still don't see the Win7 box. Help!

Windows 7 introduced a new sharing feature called HomeGroup that is supposed to replace the workgroup for home networking. However, the feature only works for Windows 7 connected to other Windows 7. Therefore, if the Windows 7 computer has been configured to use HomeGroup, the first thing you need to do is detach Windows 7 from the HomeGroup.
The next setting is the network profile for Windows 7 computer. Windows 7 provides four network profiles; Home, Work, Public and Domain. Based on the network location you choose, Windows assigns a network discovery state to the network and opens the appropriate Windows firewall ports for that state. Ideally the computer should be set to the Home or Work profile. You don't want the Public profile - it is designed for places like Internet cafe's so the sharing is very restricted.
With the network profile selected, another setting within the profile that can hinder the discovery of the shared printer is the network discovery setting. With this setting turned off, the Windows 7 computer will not appear under the respective workgroup (or if the setting has been changed after the computer was seen by the Mac, then it can appear in the workgroup computer list but will not show any shared printer - this is most likely due to the LAN manager timing). This setting can be accessed via Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings.
Also, within the Advanced sharing settings for the Work or Home profile, another setting called Password protected sharing can stop the shared printer from appearing. With this setting turned on, the Win7 computer will still be seen when adding the Windows shared printer, but after selecting the Win7 computer, the shared printer is not displayed as no prompt is given to enter user account details. So this setting needs to be turned off. Then when the Win7 computer name is selected, a prompt will appear requesting user account information. The Guest account can be selected here to see the shared printer name.
*Adding the Printer*
Now that you can see the printer share, the next step is to add a printer driver that will support the printing via a Windows computer. The Canon drivers do not support this type of connection, even the so-called CUPS drivers. For this type of connection, the user must have the Gutenprint driver set installed, which may not be installed by default depending on the type of install they performed with Snow Leopard.
It is important to note that not every model of Canon inkjet and AIO is supported by the Gutenprint driver set. This is especially the case with the later models. In this situation, a user will either have to wait or check out the other CUPS application, PrintFab. Because there is a cost involved with PrintFab, users will typically avoid this application however the software does keep up-to-date with newer model releases compared to Gutenprint.

Cannot print to a shared printer on Windows

Hello,
I am a new user to Mac OS. Since ive bought it, about 2-3 months id say, im unable to print to a shared printer (via LAN) from my MBP. I have tried a lot of things and even tried Apple Support in my city (which isnt any good) and Printer Company support (Canon), they both are blaming on each other. Leaving my problem unsolved.
Here is the set up:
Win XP PC
Mac OS X 10.6 MBP
2 Printers;
1. Canon LBP 2900
2. Canon MF4350d
both shared over LAN to other PCs.
Basically, Id like to ask a few question I think might help me.
1. What kind of driver should i use while printing ? Im using the Generic one. I tried printing with 4350d driver, didnt help either. No driver available for LBP2900.
2. Do i need to make any settings on my Win XP or Mac OS X ?
any help would be appreciated. as this is really getting under my skin.
Thanks.

I didnt mean to upset anyone. Its really cute to see every MAC person getting so upset even with the slightest negative comment for Apple. .
See as far as I am concerend I perceive this problem as a MAC related problem. Because my other Windows PCs arent having the same issue. I know MAC has some advantages over Win, Im not debating that.
Try to look at it from my perspective. I have used windows for about 12-15 years untill I got my MBP a few months back. The reason why I chose MBP was because I was impressed with what Apple did with iPhone 4 so I thought I should try an OS which is so hyped to be better than Windows. Truth is I am having a lot of problems with it.
1. Compatiblity is a major issue. Maybe not in North America. But I am from a small place in India. Printers, websites, etc.
2. Support/Service is pathetic. No ones knows whats going on. They are blaming each other (Apple & Canon)
3. It really over heats ! upto 80 Degrees C ! I always heard MBs are super cool and all that. Truth is I cant use it on my bare lap. Whereas I got a HP Notebook at least 5 years old that hears up less than my MBP.
4. Resoltion is so high I cant read text properly. OS X isnt a resolution independent OS, unlike Win.
These are just few. I am not saying Im competely unsatisfied with the product. I do like its style. Its battery performance. Keyboard. Trackpad.
But If an average consumer gets irritated in day to day tasks, then that OS isnt for the majority out there. Thats all I am saying. I have to look up for so many tweaks into Mac OS to make up for some basic things that Win has over Mac.
Anyways, dont get offended. nothing against you. ITs just im not a fan of Apple. If could Id return my MBP, but I cant so. Here I am

How to print on Windows Shared Printer

As I search in Google I found that there are many question about hot to print on windows shared printers. This is the way....
Before you add your windows shared printers in you Mac, sometimes you can not find your printer driver. The only way is directly connect your windows shared printers to you Mac, and connect your Mac to internet. After that your mac will automatically download printer driver. Now you have to add windows shared printers to your mac (this is part is easy..I'm not going to explain this...), and after you select the right driver you still can NOT print to windows shared printers ? You already have user & password for PC that connected to the windows shared printers...but nothing happened in your printer...
Soooo.....
All you have to do is :
1. Go to system pref on mac
2. Click on sharing - thick on "file sharing"
3. Go to "option" and then thick on "share files & folders using AFP" & thick on "share files & folders using SMB (windows)"
4. Dont forget to thick on you account name below...
5. You're good to go...
6. Please note that you have to know the PC Windows user & password that connected to the shared printer.

Hello Greg & Hello PAHU...
Yesterday everything is fine for printing to windows shared printer. But after I update my XP, problems came up again....
And thanks to your link Greg, you are absolutly right about the driver...the problem is the driver...
And your link is solving my problem (until know....) and you are right too PAHU, without thicking File Sharing feature in my Mac, I still can printing with windows shared printer...
And with this reply I admitted that my information above maybe wrong, and the real solver to my problem is to install gutten-print driver :http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Thanks guys you're the best...now I live happily with my MBA

Printing date in the cheque date box column

Hello all,
I want to print the date in the cheque box column automatically.I used sy-datum.but its not coming in the proper field of day,month and year.can anyone please help me to do it .
Thank in advance.

Check user master records for date format. Which tool did you use SapScript or Smartforms, you could alsop look for date formatting in those tools.
Smartforms : Smart Forms, Using SAP Smart Forms, Using Parameters in a Form, Using Fields in the Form, Output Options for Field Contents
Sapscript : BC Style and Form Maintenance, Formatting Options, Date Mask
NB: Better use sy-datlo if your systems have users worldwide.
