Printing only works from one computer

I have an Epson Stylus C60 connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme. There are two computers on the network, a PowerBook G4 and a MacBook Pro. Both computers connect to the network very reliably and have internet access. The problem is that the MBP cannot print to the connected printer. The G4 has always printed fine.
The MBP sees the printer as a Bonjour printer, and I can add it to the printer list without problem. When I try to print, I get a message in the print queue that there is a communications error with the printer.
In the airport configuration window, the printer is recognized and remote printing is enabled. Any idea why printing only works from the G4?

Thanks for your help. Yes, the driver is a universal binary and the printer works great when plugged directly into the computer. I just can't figure out why it won't work over the airport.
Any other ideas?

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,

  • Nokia 6600 only works from one cell tower

    I have this weird problem with my phone where it will only work off one cell tower. Once I leave the coverage of that cell tower it will not work anywhere else.
    It started a few months ago and i'm not to sure why?
    The funny thing is it's the cell tower on top of my building at work, so when i'm at work it will work (calls/txt/etc) but as soon as I go home or even go to another city it will not.
    Any ideas?

    The first thing I'd recommend you do is to reset your phone, but I can't tell from the 6600's webpage what OS you're running so I can't give you instructions on how to do this.
    Have a look through your menus to see if you can find an option to reset to factory defaults, but please remember that doing so will wipe ALL data from your phone.
    If you wish to backup your data you can do so using the PC Suite application which you can find here :

    Hope this helps.

  • I have a new macbook pro hooked up to a belkin wireless router. My HP officejet printer is also connected to the router. I cannont get the printer to work from my computer without restarting my computer evertime I want to print. How do I fix this?

    I have a new Macbook Pro hooked up to a new Belkin wireless router. I can connect to the internet without a problem. I have an HP officejet printer hooked up the the router to work wirelessley, The router is reading it as connected. My computer reads it as offline. If I reset my computer it will print whatever the first thing is in the que but nothing else and does not work after that. Is there some sort of setting that I am missing? I am trying to set this printer up to work wirelessly from three mac laptops in my house but I can't even get it to work on one right now. Any help would be awesome

  • Can't communicate with HP8600 from ONE computer only .. all others work

    I'll try to provide as much detail here as I can . But ... my HP8600 works well with all devices in my home but one desktop. Unplugging my wireless router solves the problem ... but ... only temporarily . problem returns . Three other wireless laptops and devices communicate just fine. Desktop computer is connected to Wireless Router via ethernet cable.
    OS = Windows 8.1 , 32 bit
    Wireless Router = Netgear Nighthawk R7000
    HP 8600 N911g, SW Version = 028.000.1315.000, Driver = 09.84.00.1173, firmware=CKP5CN1334ER,
    uninstalled and reinstalled HP software with no luck.
    Wirelss router shows device connected and active... and all other devices can print to it
    Windows updates , Netgear updates, and HP8600 updates are ... well .. all up to date.
    This is driving me crazy !!! Great printer , but ... geez ??? Any help is DEEPLY appreciated

    Hi mjeguitar,
    I understand the printer is working wirelessly and wired with all of your computers except for one. Are the others computers 8.1 as well or just the one that is not working well?
    From what you described, the printer will work with the computer after you unplug the router and plug it back in, but only temporarily. For diagnostic purposes, would you be able to connect an Ethernet cable from this computer to the router as you have done with the desktop? I just want to be able to eliminate the wireless within that computer.
    I can't help but wonder if for some reason that particular computer is loosing connection to the network, thus loosing connection to the printer. Because the other computers continue to communicate with the printer, I feel the issue is related to the computer and not the printer.
    Let me know how this works out, and post back with the answers to the few questions I have asked, I will gladly follow up with our next troubleshooting steps.

  • How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer.

    How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • HT4356 I can't get air print to work from my iPhone 4. I've verified everything. Th phone gets WIFI from AT&T. Computer's WIFI through Netgear, Charter.  How do I resolve this?

    I can't get air print to work from my iPhone 4. I have newest phone operating system, and the phone is air print enabled.
    The phone gets WIFI from AT&T.  My computer, to which my printer is wirelessly connected, gets WIFI from Charter Communications and a Netgear router. 
    That must be the problem.  How do I resolve that?

    For Airprint to work your iPhone and printer must be on the same local network. Your printer must support Airprint (see here for list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356).
    Can you connect your iPhone to the Netgear router WiFi?

  • Hp 3510 is printing horizontally from one computer and normally from the other

    My printer HP 3510 has been printing horizontally from one computer and normally on another.  Why does this happen and how can I correct the problem?

    You try to print portrait, but it comes out landscape.  When you checked that setting, was it at the document level or at the default level?  The document setting overrides the default level setting. 
    If the document level setting is on Portrait and the document is coming out Landscape, I recommend downloading and running the  HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows.  Does that help?

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

  • Two office jet pro 8500 printers set up to operate wirelessly from one computer

    I have two office jet pro 8500 Wireless printers in my real estate office. I would like for them to both operate wirelessly from one computer, but can't get it to work.  I do not have any firewalls enabled. I can get only one to work.

    Do you have a network (wireless router) in your office that you are trying to connect the printers to or are you connecting directly to each printer via its "hpsetup" network?
