Printing on Shared ColorLaser 1600

Hi,
I've got a ColorLaser 1600 connected to a PC via USB. Local Printing is fine, but I'd like share the printer with other PCs, so I made it available through WindowsSharing. However, when printing from a connected PC, the jobs get sent to the PC the ColorLaser is attached to (I can see the job in the local print queue), but it does not get printed.
The only way I can get it to print is by stopping and restarting the print spool service. I'm seeing the same behaviour regardless of whether I connect the printer to my Windows Home Server (basically a Win2k3 server) or a Vista PC.
I can't find any information on what might be wrong or what I can do to make print work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thorsten

Nothing from HP.  I threw in the towel myself & resorted to giving the user admin rights.  However, I gave the user admin rights to SEVERAL things simultaneously - so I'm not sure which one / what combo finally did the trick.  When I originally tried giving the user local admin rights to the PC (but nothing else) that did NOT work - so I don't necessarily believe that had anything to do with my success.  The last few steps of troubleshooting that got it working were as follows:
-- Stopped printer spooler service
-- Deleted everything from c:windows\sys32\spool\printers
-- Gave the user full admin rights to the printer spooler service (C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe), printer spooler folder (c:windows\sys32\spool\printers), local admin rights and then ran a spyware scan (which actually came up with a few nasty hits - not the 'usual' ones - could that have been the culprit all along??)
Sidenote: Did you find that logging in as the network admin on the other PC would print aok?
I'm annoyed that HP never stepped in here.  Then again I'm already in the process of stepping away from HP altogether.  I swore OFF their systems years ago but always swore BY their printers.  And now those are going downhill fast & their support for all of the above has always been lackluster, at best.  Other HP users have been far more helpful than any HP tech I've ever worked with!
I'll get off my soapbox now... It's just a shame that the 'fix' isn't an answer at all but just a lucky combination of changes that coerce something to work. 
This scenario is actually at a client & as much as I would love to hammer it out there is the issue of her paying for me to just 'play', if you will.  Understandable from her perspective - especially since it now 'works', but a bummer from the I-WANT-A-REAL-ANSWER side!  If you figure it out do post back!

  • Pages 2.0.2 won't print to shared printer

    help! i'm at the end of my rope here.
    pages used to print to my shared printer no problem. but since a hard drive failure in my powerbook g4 1.33 it's been no dice.
    since getting the hd, everything has been reinstalled: 10.4.8, epson printer drivers, iworks; EVERYTHING. other apps print to the shared printer fine. (the shared printer is on a home network, connected to a mac pro. access via a wireless router (dlink))
    i tried resetting the powerbook's PMU/PRAM. still, a popup window says: "error while printing."
    when the PB is directly connected to the printer 'pages' prints fine, only to the shared printer. nothing on the network has changed at all. (except one of my attempts to fix this was to reset the printer system on the mac pro)
    i've tried all the suggestions in the forum (searching for 'pages print error'), this includes turning off duplicate fonts with fontbook, resetting the printer system on the PB in various ways as suggested, deleting pref files and the like.
    steps to print involve these:
    1. open pages.
    2. open file
    3. select print, select shared printer.
    4. click print.
    5. a slight pause for about 1sec then the error message comes up: Error when printing.
    any subsequent try at printing the same file or another file the message pops up immediately with no delay.
    what am i missing? is there something on the network side?
    i can't think of anything else to check. i've looked at apple support articles till the wee hours of the morning.
    can someone offer any suggestions? you would have my undying gratitude!!
    cheers and happy holidays,

    hey folks,
    i've used app zapper to delete pages and then re-installed it. same thing happens. no luck.
    are there any other setting that pages might access? does PMSessionValidatePrintSettings refer to Print Manager?
    could it be permissions on the print manager's plist file? i'm just guessing as there was a slight name change on her user name when her settings, etc. were imported thru the migration assistant after the hd failure. it's a guess as i've run into this problem when switching from my PPC to the Intel. my user name went from seanw to sean and some of my apps were still labeled with the old "seanw" as the owner. (this was because i dragged and dropped some stuff instead of using the MA as i didn't know it existed.)
    if no solution presents itself how would i go about transferring my wife's user profile to another, new profile with out too much headache?
    would i create the new user and use MA to transfer her stuff from her backup?
    thanks for the suggestions, you have no idea how much this is appreciated.
    cheers,

  • Printing to shared windows printer - used to work, doesn't now

    Once upon a time I was able to print from my powerbook to the HP LaserJet 1300 connected to my father's windows computer. I was wireless and the windows pc is wired to the network. I could see all the computers on the network and i could print and file share "normally."
    Last year we made several changes to the network, which should have just simplified it, but now I cannot see the printer or any other computers on the workgroup from my mac. My windows desktop can do it fine (also wired) and my fathers wireless windows laptop can as well. I can connect to file share with my mac if I use the IP of the computer, I can no longer just browse the network like i could before.
    I am not sure how to access the shared printer now. I have tried different things over the past year and I am just tired of having to get a USB cable and stand next to the printer with my laptop.
    I have tried to just connect using the ip of the computer the printer is shared from but that does not work.
    "smb://username:[email protected]/printersharename"
    doesn't work.
    I have theorized that it might be that there is now MAC address filtering enabled for wireless connections but I cannot turn it off to test.
    Has anyone else encountered this (being able to, then unable)?

    It sounds like maybe you have a wired router and
    added an Airport base (or other wireless router) for
    wireless? If I've guessed wrong, please describe your
    network and check whether the wired and wireless
    computers are in the same subnet (that is, only the
    last part of 192.168.1.x can be different, the first
    three parts are the same on every computer).
    The some of the wired computers go through a switch, but some go straight into the router (because they are closer to the wireless router than to wall jacks). This doesn't seem to affect my ability to see them on the network because I can't see any from my powerbook. Everything is on the same subnet and the only devices are the router and the switch, but I can't see stuff hooked directly to the router either.

  • Unable to print to shared windows printer (lexmark)

    My Windows printer is shared on the network through an XP machine. Other XP PCs can see and print fine to the printer , but not my OS X (tried it with tiger and Leopard). The printer is Lexmark P6250, and the mac driver for that printer works fine because the printer works fine when it is directly connected to my mac via USB.
    When looking for the printer through my MAC OS X, it can locate the printer on the windows network , no problem, but when I try to print anything from the mac to the windows network printer, Mac os x returns a communication error indicating that it cannot communicate with the printer. I have all firewalls on my windows PC disabled , and port 139 is open.
    Can anyone help in resolving this problem ?

    That is a limitation of the Lexmark drivers. There are no network capable drivers for this Lexmark printer either from Lexmark or from the open source developers. You can, however, print to the printer on the Windows comptuers by using a redirected printer as outlined in the following web page

  • Problems Printing to Shared Windows Printer

    After upgrading to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), I can no longer print to my HP DeskJet 5150 printer from my Apple MacBookPro laptop. This Deskjet printer is NOT directly connected to the laptop. Instead, it's directly connected to my Windows PC (via USB port). This printer is shared out from the Windows PC.
    I see the following error messages in the Printer Queue display every time I try to print something to that Windows shared printer:
    "Connection failed: NTSTATUS_CONNECTIONREFUSED"
    "Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."
    In addition, every print attempt requires me to enter my Windows authentication credentials:
    userid (on my Windows PC)
    password (on my Windows PC)
    I am absolutely sure that I have entered those credentials correctly. Yet, the error message above would seem to imply that Windows rejected my credentials for some reason. On the Windows side, the Security Event log entries appear fine (no corresponding failure gets logged when the print attempt fails).
    Of course, my printing to the shared out from Windows PC WORKED FLAWLESSLY under "Tiger" (Mac OS X 10.4.x). My problem started immediately after I upgraded to "Leopard" (Mac OS X 10.5) on October 28, 2007.
    Please advise me how to resolve this printing to a Windows shared printer problem.
    Thanks in advance,

    I'm having the same problem. Sharing an HPLJ5MP on WinXPSP2 box, and printer sharing was working fine under Tiger. After installing Leopard, can see and set up printer, but attempts to print test page are thwarted. Log:

  • I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family

    I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my IOS apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family.  My son has my old iPod touch so I erased it so he could put whatever games he wants to play on that I used to play with.  It is difficult to download every game at one time because there is too much to download at one time.  I have many hundreds of apps.  One way I found was to create a screen grab of each page in iTunes  then open it in Preview contact sheet but that is really tiny unreadable image of each screen.  I also tried importing a screen shot of the contact sheet into Paint 2 and magnifying it on several pages but that is really blurry.  The ideal solution would be to import the icon and text to another app or to provide a print list of apps solution within iTunes.

    Create iPad screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together.  You will hear a shutter click sound and find a screen shot on your iPad's Camera Roll.  You can then print these screen shots as you would any iPad photos.
    UPDATE: I assumed you had an iPad.  Hopefully your iOS device does have an on/off and home button and is capable of producing screen shots.

  • Can't print on shared printer, Alert says "On Hold (authentication required)"

    Mac Mini running 10.6.8 can't print using Mac Air running 10.8.5 with HP Laserjet 1022 USB connected.  Both computers on same airport network.  Both with latest updates and shared printer enabled.  Same problem in other direction (Air to mini if printer connected to mini). 
    This worked fine a few days ago.  Whats changed?  Anybody?

    This might help... I recently upgraded to OS X 10.9.1 and had the same frustrations with "paused for authentication problems.  Luckly I just discovered that with the print sharing on in the computer that that has the direct connection with the printer being shared on the network and in this below screenshot, with certain persons selected, even an administrator, it puts a "no access" on the everyone option.  In this status I get the "paused for authentication" on the print jobs being submitted from any networked computer.  see below
    I am taking it that the authentication the neworked computers are looking for is from the computer that is diretly connected to the printer and is sharing that printer to other users.
    I've learned when you click the up and down arrow to the right of everyone you get either "no access" or "can print" option.
    When the "can print" option is selected all the individual persons added gets droped, but at least now I can do a network print jobs from the other network connected computers and not get the "paused for authenication" problem.  Hope this helps anyone with "paused for authent" problems ET

  • Printed a shared calendar with tasks

    I need to print my boss's daily calendar with the tasks listed on the right side, but although both his calendar are tasks are shared with me and I can view them, it won't let me print the calendar with the tasks from my outlook.  From other
    discussions I saw people recommending the Calendar Printing Assistant for Outlook, but it looks like that only works in Outlook 2007 and it won't work on my Outlook 2013. 
    Is there any solution for this besides adding his mailbox to my computer?

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to print a shared calendar with tasks, please follow these steps: -
    In Outlook 2013, you need to ensure the print settings are correct first.
    Go to the
    Calendar; enter Day view by clicking the Day button above the Calendar.
    File tab >
    Print. In the list at the right ensure Daily Style is chosen under
    Settings. Then click the Print Options button just above the
    Settings list. In the Print Dialog box that opens, right in the middle is a button that says
    Page Setup; select that.
    Print setup dialog box that opens, in the
    Format tab, find the Options block on the lower left. In that block, the second item down is labeled
    Tasks. From the drop-down menu to the right of Tasks, choose
    To-Do list.
    In that same dialog box you probably want to clear the checkmark next
    “include: Notes area (blank)” to make more room for tasks.
    Now click
    OK first and then Print on the next screen. That’s it. The setting should be saved.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • IMac to print to "shared" printer on Windows XP Home

    I have just returned to the Mac world. My first MAC was one of the first MACs ever made (1984) - it's in the basement and it still works.
    I have a new iMac G5. I was able to transfer all the files I wanted from my laptop (Windows XP Home) to my iMac without any problems.
    What I can not do is get the iMac to access the HP DeskJet 932c printer that is connected to my DELL (Windows XP Home). The printer is "shared". My laptop has no problems connecting to the printer.
    When I follow the instructions with the iMac, the iMac finds the DELL computer, I'm able to access (login) to the DELL computer but no printers are listed.
    I suspect it is because it is not really a Windows "workgroup" as the Apple documentation talks about, but a "shared" printer within Windows XP Home.
    I'm sure that there is a solution, after all, this is a MAC!

    Depends on what Mac software you have?
    Currently nothing other than that which ships with the Mac - I have had it for less than a week.
    Also the G5 iMac is pretty well proven technology,
    these are first revision Intel Macs.
    Good point and this is the one potential drawback to the switch.
    Personally I would go for the Intel Mac, as Steve
    Jobs said, it is the same as thew G5 iMac, jsut twice
    as fast!
    I'm going to do this and that's why I'm going to mark my question as answered. Hopefully the next Mac will work with my XP printer!
    Thanks again for all your help.
    Your website for help about the printer is excellent. It is rare to find something as well explained and perfectly documented. I give it a 4+ (I'm a teacher and in our education system we "level" student work - level 4 is the highest level!)

  • HP Printer from shared XP Machine

    Hi,
    I've got a HP deskjet 1280 printer which is hooked up to a windows XP machine. I want to access the printer through the network.
    The printer is shared & I can see it on my Mac in the Windows Printing Dialogue. However, when I go to select the driver I cannot find the right driver in the drop down list. I've also installed the printer locally on my mac with the usb cable, & it hooks up straight away with the correct driver, no problems.
    The closest driver I've got to on the Windows Networking is the 1220, which prints, but not at a fantastic quality. Any thoughts as to how I can get printing with the correct driver through my windows share?
    Thanks
    T

    You will probably need to use the hpijs drivers found at _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs_. Most printer drivers from HP do not support network printing.

  • Trouble printing to shared Win printer

    At work there is an Oki C3200 laser printer connected via USB to an XP machine. I set my MacBook Pro running 10.6 to the same workgroup as the windows computer (via WINS tab of the Network pref pane) and set the printer as shared. My mac connects to this network wirelessly and has full signal strength and Internet access. I try to add the Oki printer by adding a new printer in the pref pane, selecting Windows, and selecting the correct workgroup name, computer name, and printer share name. Ultimately I can not print. Perhaps I am choosing the wrong driver (I pick the generic laser printer). The error on the printer's screen says "invalid data or timed out." Any ideas?

    Printer model: hp envy 5530, operating system: Windows 8.1. Trouble shooter didn't find any actual errors, it had me unplug everything (router, printer) and restart my computer, it had me re-install my printer which i did successfully, it had me verify that my computer and printer were connected to the same network (which they were). It had me verify that wasn't another network near by with the same name (which there wasn't) and also it had me test print for connection directly from the printer and everything printed saying it passed....

  • Windows won't print to shared Lexmark

    Hello,
    I've read several topics on the issue but none seem to have my specific problem.
    Basically I have my Lexmark X1150 attached to my Mac (USB), printer sharing is on, and my Windows XP box has bonjour installed. I've followed all the instructions on setting this up and am pretty confident its all how it should be.
    The Windows box sees the printer, and prints to it.
    The mac queue accepts the file, starts to spool it, but then suddenly stops. (as though the pause queue button had been pressed.)
    If I try to start the queue again the file then disappears and nothing happens.
    Suspecting that it was a printer driver issue I tried a few different ones on the Windows box, most won't even allow the file to get to the mac, they just disappear.
    The only driver which would at least get the file to the mac queue is the actuall X1150 printer driver, but that's as far as it goes.
    Any thoughts? Specifically is there a priter driver I should be using (I've tried the Apple laserwriter drivers, and various Lexmark ones, to no avail.)
    I've looked through http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/ but there doesn't seem to be anything on 'what to do if the printer queue stops'.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Thanks Greg
    Unfortunately doesn't work (yet). It does now say "printer not responding" instead of just stopping, which seems like progress.
    Just a couple of questions...
    When I went to the files...
    /etc/cups/mime.convs and /etc/cups/mime.types
    the lines that started with: #application/octet-stream'
    already had the'#' removed. Was I reading this right? I thought I was meant to remove the '#'. They looked like this when I opened them...
    # Raw print file support...
    # Uncomment the following type and the application/octet-stream
    # filter line in mime.convs to allow raw file printing without the
    # -oraw option.
    application/octet-stream
    # End of "$Id: mime.types,v 1.2 2005/02/25 19:31:50 jlovell Exp $".
    Second question, with the serial number in the URI,
    ?serial=MO7P104xxxxxxxxx40
    Do I just replace the 'MO7P104' and leave everything else in there? Or do I replace the whole thing 'MO7P104xxxxxxxxx40'.
    Thanks for your continuing help.

  • Problems Printing to Shared Windows Printer Via SAMBA (foomatic error 255)

    I can NOT print from my MacBookPro to a printer that's shared out from my Windows PC. Of course, printing to this same printer from my PC works fine.
    Please help me resolve this printing problem.
    Read on for more details regarding my printing woes!
    I can successfully setup my printer on the MAC side using the Printer Setup utility. I see the shared out printer on my MAC; I can pick the printer's manufacturer and model. Everything looks ok regarding the setup of the printer on the MAC side.
    However, when I try to print a file from the MAC, the printer never prints. The print job appears to get queued on the MAC side. However, after a few seconds, the printer queue displays "foomatic-rip stopped unexpectedly with error 255" (if I selected a foomatic printer driver from the hpijs). Otherwise, it says "NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY" error (if I selected a gutenprint driver instead).
    The PC's Windows event logs show no problems. Indeed, the Security event log shows successful authentication & access to the printer.
    The MAC's CUPS error_log displays the these error messages:
    GutenPrint fails with NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY error, then says Cannot connect to SAMBA host
    hpjisGhostscriptFoomatic fails with "The process 'foomatic-rip' stopped unexpectedly with status 255"
    Later, I will post the exact entries from this log (I am currently separated from my MAC laptop until later this evening).
    My Apple MacBookPro is running MAC OS X 10.4.11 ("Tiger"). The printer is an HP DeskJet 5150 connected via a USB port to my DELL 8400 PC. This desktop PC is running Microsoft's "Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2").
    Based on reading other posts (here) and at the Linux Open Foundation (printing), I have already done the following:
    Installed gutenprint;
    Installed foomatic (foomatic-rip v3.42.2.15);
    Installed ghostscript (espgs v7.07.1); &
    Installed hpijs (hpijs v2.7.10).
    NOTE: This is NOT the same problem that I posted earlier regarding inability to print to a shared printer with Leopard (MAC OS X 10.5.0). Today's posting deals with my inability to print to the shared printer from Tiger (MAC OS X 10.4.11).
    NOTE: This may be a "red herring" but you may need this additional background to help resolve my printing problem. Originally, I ran "Tiger" (MAC OS X 10.4.10) on my MacBookPro laptop. Of course, networked printing worked fine at this point. On October 28, 2007, I upgraded to "Leopard" (MAC OS X 10.5.0). Leopard was a "disaster" for me (printing, networking & many other problems). On November 9, 2007, I "punted" and re-installed "Tiger" (MAC OS X 10.4.10) from Apple's original CD. On November 15, 2007, I upgraded to MAC OS X 10.4.11 via Apple's software update utility. I vaguely recollect that networked printing was working after I returned back to Tiger.

    As promised in my initial post regarding my printing problem, here are the actual error messages displayed in the Print Queue (Hp5150) and the "cups" error_log when I try to print any file to my HP 5150 that's directly connected to my DELL PC (Windows XP Pro) but shared out so that my MacBookPro should be able to print to it.

    Again, the system Event logs on the Windows XP side show no error messages. In particular, the Security Event Log shows that authentication was successful; so, the MacBookPro's client process was granted access to the printer on the DELL PC side of the transaction.

  • Printing to Shared Windows HPDJ1220c?

    Hello,
    I have an HPDJ1220c attached to an old win98 laptop in the basement. I'd like to print to it from my powerbook g4 via the home network. I have sharing set up on the win98 machine and can find & connect to it from the powerbook. However, when I add the printer and look in the list of HP drivers, I can find one for the HP DeskJet 1220c. If I connect my powerbook directly to this printer, it will find the appropriate driver. I'd rather not trek to the basement every time to print, so I can I get this set up correctly?
    Thanks,
    Jaeson

    I have NO experience with Windows98. This "may" be helpful:

    You can't do any network printing with the original driver from HP. It was written in Carbon and is for local connection (but "some" older HPs got a driver with HP appletalk protocol - try that after clicking More Printers in Printer Setup).
    Get CUPS drivers (network capable) from:

  • Printing to shared windows printer over wireless network

    Hi,
    I just bought my wife a MacBook and recently updated it to Leopard (OS X 10.5). I have a Lexmark X5150 printer connected to a desktop PC running Windows XP. I can share files between the two computers no problem either wirelessly or through an ethernet connection through my router. But, I'm having troubles accessing the shared printer through the Macbook wirelessly. If I connect the printer directly to the Macbook, I can add the printer with appropriate drivers no problem. However, when I try to add the printer as Windows shared printer, the appropriate driver doesn't show up in the drop down list. I can navigate to and find the printer over the network fine, but I just can't find the right driver. I'm a newbie to Mac and was wondering if there is anyway to find the driver using Finder or something similar to determine where it physially resides on the Mac. I know it's there because it is automatically selected when I directly connect the printer to the Macbook and add the printer. Any thoughts??

    Couldn't figure things out, so I'll just stick with connecting the printer directly to the macbook.
