Printing over print server

Help , I am trying to set up on my imac os10 x to print on my canon i990 which is connected via a linksys print server to my xp network .
I get as far as printer browser , see my print server and the it asks for a name and password. Which user pasword should be used I have tried the print server name and password but that does not work .
Sorry if I am missing something easy but I am new to this mac stuff !!!! but loving it
Martin

Hi Folks,
I'm pretty much a Mac newbie as well but I think I have the same problem only worse. I have the same set up as the person above (linksys print server, etc) but I have a Canon i900D printer. I have gone to printfab.net and it doesn't appear that they support my printer. I can get it to print via the print server now but its very, very small.
Should I assume that I'm pretty much out of luck with this printer set up? Since no drivers seem to support my printer in this config maybe I need to find a new printer...
Any thoughts are most appreciated, thanks!

  • Unable to print to local Printer over RDP - Windows Server 2008

    Hi,
    Windows 2008 Foundation R2.
    Started to have issues with printing to a Local printer over RDP.
    The problems started on Friday 11th April. The only possible issue I can identify is that around that time LogMeIn was updated on the server, including the LMIPrinter DLL's.  I have contacted Logmein for instructions on how to uninstall LMI completely
    and followed these but am still experiencing the problem.
    When attempting a Test Page print the confirmation that the Test Print has been sent to is displayed and the print appears then disappears in the Print queue but nothing appears on the Local PC print queue or event logs.
    On the server the Event Log shows the following error;
    The document Test Page, owned by admin, failed to print on printer Canon MG7100 series Printer (redirected 2/copy 1). Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.
    Data type: RAW. Size of the spool file in bytes: 142691. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: \\ONESTAGE-TS01. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 2147500037. Unspecified
    error
    I have searched for possible solutions to RDP printing problems and where relevant implemented them but no change.
    I have access to a second customer who uses RDP and am able to log onto that and print to my local printer so am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the local printer or settings.  On the Server with the problem the problem affects all RDP users
    and all printers (including Adobe PDF printer and MS XPS printer).  All printers are defaulting to the EasyPrint Drivers.
    Grasping at straws I think the LMI update has banjaxed something with the RDP remote printing and an LMI uninstall hasn't fixed it.  Is there a way to reinstall the RDP Printing?  Would uninstalling & reinstalling .NET have that effect?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    What’s your client OS and RDP version in your environment?
    First of all suggest you to run “sfc /scanow” with this link to check whether which file causing the issue. Check the RDP version on the RDP client computer as well as the .NET framework version with respect to the operating system used (as explained above).
    Also verify that the RD Session Host / Terminal Server role is installed if the host computer is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008.
    The setting “Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first” must be set to “Enabled” for Easy Print redirection, and it has to be “Disabled” for Legacy Print. For “Not configured”, Easy Print is chosen by default.
    Check The Remote Desktop Configuration Tool (tsconfig.msc) settings to ensure that the “Windows Printer” option is not disabled (it is not disabled by default). 
    Make sure that the “Printers” check box in the client (mstsc.exe) window on the “Local Resources” tab is checked. The corresponding setting in the associated RDP file is “redirectprinters:i:1”.

  • Trouble printing to a parallel printer over a router via a print server

    My G5 and my Windows laptop once happily coexisted (past tense) using a Linksys Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41) which also fed a Linksys PPSK1 10/100 Ethernet Print Server connected to my trusty dusty NEC SuperScript 1800, one of the greatest monochrome laser printers ever made (1200 DPI and lightning fast!) featuring only a parallel interface. This nifty arrangement allowed me to print over the router and through the print server to the Superscript. Then one fateful day, OS X 10.4.1 installed itself on the G5 via Software Update. This most recent OS had some kind of personal problem with the Linksys router and nothing I did could not settle their petty squabble. After 45 minutes on the phone with a Linksys guy named "Raj" I gave up. I bought a NetGear Cable/DSL Router (RP614) and magically, my PC and my Mac started getting along, happily cruising the net together once again. But the Linksys print server must have gotten jealous: He refused to work with the new Netgear in town. I have now laid the foundation for my question: Does anyone know how I might get the Linksys Print Server to play nice and let documents printed over the Netgear router find their way to the NEC Superscript?
    Thanks loads.

    Greg,
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I added another printer using LDP protocol, specified the address as 192.168.1.100, Identified the que as "LPT", then, on a hunch, clicked the "More Printers" button. The dialog box defaults to AppleTalk in the Local AppleTalk Zone and after a brief moment the "Name" of the printer appeared as SCF** (Hex) which, lo and behold, is the name of the PPSX1 as printed on the bottom of the device! At this point I selected the NEC's PostScript print driver and VOILA! Super duper 1200 DPI PostScript output, just like the old days!
    Man...whew! Thanks again. Your Guru status is well-deserved.
    Regards,
    Bill

  • My iPhone and my iPad are connected by wi-fi, but I can't print on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. On the other hand, I can print over wi-fi from PC. What can I do?

    Hallo, thank you for trying to help. Here is my problem:
    In the past, the airprint was possible without problems from iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Since today it doesn't work anymore. My iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 is connected by wi-fi and I can serve in the internet. But I can't print on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. On the other hand, I can print over wi-fi from PC.
    There are low ink-levels and therefore a message comes to indicate this by printing from PC. iPhone and iPad are accepting the print order without any messages after, but does't excecute the print.
    What can I do?

    Hey helmut,
    You can also try the ePrint method listed here if you can't get AirPrint working:

  • IMac G5 no longer prints to laser printer over ethernet network

    I have a small office with 6 iMacs networked via ethernet with a Netgear Router. Printers are connected to one machine and people send to print over the network.
    3 iMacs are G5. 3 are Intel. All run OS X 10.5.8.
    A month ago one of the G5 iMacs stopped being able to print to a Brother laser printer (which is connected by USB to an Intel iMac). I believe this happened after we downloaded a periodic Apple update. About 2 weeks ago a second G5 iMac developed the same problem. The 1st G5 iMac still prints fine to an inkjet printer connected directly to it by USB.
    We have tried re-loading drivers, but no improvement.
    Any suggestions as to how we can resolve this?

    Hi DaddyPaycheck
    The iMacs that can't print can see the printer. We have deleted and re-installed via the printer system prefs too. There weird thing is that you can select the printer and send to print, but for some reason the printer then automatically pauses and you can't resume it. The file is listed by the status is 'stopped'. When you open the printer queue on the Intel iMac that the laser printer is connected to, no print file shows up at all...
    We also ran the network diagnostic that you can do when in printer system prefs and that reported that "the G5 iMac could connect to the internet, but not the Server "brother HL 4040CN series-1@ben's-iMac-2.ipp.tcp.local" "
    Hope there's a clue in there somewhere...

  • Can no longer print over my wireless network

    We haven't changed our drivers for a month or so, but suddenly we can't print over our home network any more.
    We have a Canon MP500 connected by USB to an Intel iMac, which acts as a print server (as long as it's awake). Usually it's quite happy to print over our network from either our MacBook or MacBook Pro.
    What's happening now is that it says it's printing but then doesn't. There is no explicit error message. It says 'print job accepted - printing'.

    Thanks. It turns out the problem is indeed some kind of conflict between the driver of the MP500 and CD-LabelPrint, a Canon program which it uses to print discs.
    What was happening was that when I tried to print over the network onto a DVD the blockage occurred, with everything just hanging. Connecting directly by USB did the job, but the queue on the iMac (to which the printer is connected by USB) remained blocked. I had previously tried deleting and re-adding the printer on the MBP which had sent the job, but now I've done the same on the iMac and that's worked.
    What a hassle - so much for Canon's driver update :roll:

  • Problem with printing over wireless network

    Hello. I have a HP psc 2410 all-in-one printer.
    I've recently bought a modem router which has a capability called"printer-server" and I decided to use this feature and print over wifi. I set it up but with a problem. when I print something, for instance, test page, instead of printing just one page, It will print "test page" in 3 pages( something like partial pages and which the last=third page is printed blankly) and then It freezes(printer screen shows "printing" and I have to cancel the job, otherwise it freezes and I have to replug it). I have this trouble not just in test page but at least from IE, office, PDF files. This problem is essentially about Wifi, since If I connect the printer directly to the PC or laptop via usb, it works absolutely fine. also I have tried printing with different laptops over wifi but no go. below are more information which I have to mention:
    1)Router is on WPA-PSK encryption type.
    2)There is no mac-filtering or hiding SSID going on.
    3)one laptop and an iPad is connected to router via wifi and a PC which is connected by LAN cable.
    4)The printer IP address is the same as Router's settings page IP address.(192.168.0.1)
    5)I can't open the printer's internal web page by entering the printer's IP address in browser since it's the same as router IP address.
    6)Firewall on my laptop( windows 7  32-bit) is off and I'm using no Anti-virus.
    7) I have tried HP PRINT AND SCAN DOCTOR, but it says the printer is OK.
    thanks
    Leland
    EDIT: after investigating for hours, I finally managed to get rid of freezing problem. now there is just one problem of that partial printing which happens coincidentally over wifi! I mean, sometimes it happens and sometimes not!
    any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The bottomline is that this printer has no way of connecting other than a straight USB connection.   In order to make it wireless you have to have a device that will give it an network IP address.  The printer by itself can not do this.
    The only way to get this printer on a network is to buy a SEPERATE USB Printer Server.   Or, buy a separate router, like I said, that has a USB connection on the back that will support printers. 
    You can not connect it the way you want as it stands right now.
    However, call your ISP and have them set it up IF their Gateway device has a USB connection and really can support a printer.  It is their issue.

  • Can't connect to my printer over network anymore

    We upgraded to ox10.9 and since then we can't connect to the brother laser printer connected to our other computer. I went to brother's web site and downloaded the newest driver and now when I click on "add printer" it's not even there. I don't know what to do. I reset my printers and it's still not showing up... only if I connect it via a USB. Before 10.9 I could connect to the printer over bonjour because I was connected on my other lap top..
    any ideas?

    I figured it out. I had to create a new location on both the Powerbook and G5 and click "Apply Now". Then the PB showed up as a server on the G5.

  • Tiger on iNtel iMac "Printing" over Airport to HP 2100M

    Nice new iNtel iMac 2GHz running Airport Extreme can't print via Airport to a networked HP 2100M. The HP has an EIO card and it's connected to the LAN by that cable.
    I have an old iMac that's hardwired to an ethernet hub that's being driven by the AEB and the HP 2100M is also connected to that hub.
    The old iMac sees the printer and prints just fine.
    The new Intel iMac doesn't see the HP over Appletalk and I'm not able to figure out how to setup the new iMac to print via Airport using the IP address of the HP printer.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Here's a 30,000 ft level view of my LAN:
    Internet Cloud =>Comcast Cable ISP =>Cable Router
    AEB =>Linksys Ethernet Hub
    •iMac 350MHz (don't laugh. She's still a beauty) OSX 10.2.8
    •HP 2100M with Network EIO card
    iNtel iMac (sees the Internet just fine via AEB, but can't see the printer for patootie!)
    iNtel iMac 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   HP 2100M with EIO network card, AEB LAN,

    Unfortunately, that didn't work. I power cycled the cable modem, AEB, router hub, and the printer and the iMac still can't "see" the printer.
    I've looked at the Airport discussions and this problem is a larger issue than the iNtel iMacs. It sounds like it's probably an AEB issue.
    I'm running the latest firmware to no avail. It almost sounds to me in the Apple literature that they only support USB printing through Airport. This would be a serious blunder as the business world relies more on networked server based laserwriters than USB dot matrix printers.

  • Networked HP K5400 printing everything backwards, server computer Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate

    Our networked HP K5400 printer has just started printing everything backwards, (word, notepad, Adobe reader, web). The server computer is a Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate.
    Configuration has been working fine since we got the printer over a year ago. I do not believe there have been any recent updates or new software installed since it's been printing backwards. A new router (Cisco Linksys E4200) was added but pretty sure it was printing fine even after router added a month ago. I have checked the properties and made sure Mirror Image IS turned off.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Carol

    Okay, couldn't find any HP software on the server computer.
    I DID however recheck all the settings and still only able to find MIRROR IMAGE set to OFF everywhere I looked..
    UNTIL I clicked around and found one setting a little buried and it was set to ON.. Did a test print on something that was printing backwards and it printed correctly.
    Thanks for your suggestion. When the printer gets moved to the router I'll have to recheck all the settings but until then I hope this fixes the problems.
    Carol
    Oh here is what I had to do.. The first part are the same directions that I found on here and other places but didn't work for me, second part is what fixed my problem.
    START>CONTROL PANEL>HARDWARE AND SOUND>PRINTER
    Rt. mouse CLICK on selected printer
    CLICK PROPERTIES
    CLICK button on bottom of GENERAL tab PRINT PREFERENCES
    select OFF for MIRROR IMAGES
    if that is alread set to OFF (which mine was already set to OFF)
    CLICK on ADVANCED tab
    CLICK on PRINTING DEFAULTS button at bottom
    select OFF for MIRROR IMAGES (which mine was set to ON)
    CLICK OK/APPLY to exit

  • Remote Printing over IPP

    Hello Mac OS X Server Community,
    I am having trouble setting up remote printing over IPP for my Mac Mini (2009) Server. Let me explain the hardware I am working with, and the steps I have attempted to achieve remote printing thus far.
    Hardware:
    (1) Cisco WRVS4400N Router
    (2) Mac Mini (2009 w/ Mac OS X Server 10.6.4 installed)
    (3) MacBook Pro (2008 w/ Mac OS X 10.6.4 installed)
    (4) HP LaserJet CP2025 printer
    Note:
    • All firmware, drivers, and software is up-to-date on all devices
    • Cisco Router acts as a gateway
    • MM Server handles printing service and queues
    • MBP acts as client for printing
    • HP LaserJet CP2025 is connected to the LAN via an ethernet cable (not a USB cable)
    Steps to setting up remote printing:
    (1) Mac OS X Server Initial Setup complete
    (2) Printing service started and HP printer added to printer queue.
    (3) IPP and other pertinent ports allowed to pass through in Mac OS X Server Firewall
    (4) On the router, forward IPP port 631 to the server's LAN IP address.
    (5) Add printer to client by adding printer via bonjour shared printer. (I've tried to add to printer specifically over IPP with the server's fully qualified domain name, but this has been unsuccessful.)
    Issue:
    I can print locally while connected to the LAN, but I can't print remotely, even though the necessary services seem to be running and the necessary ports seem to be forwarded correctly. Is there a setup step I'm missing, error in my setup, or any other advice anyone can contribute? Much appreciated in advance!

    +"I don't bother with it nowadays as (along with the VPN Service) it can become unreliable."+
    Are you saying here that the VPN Service is unreliable or that you don't bother using the VPN service?
    +"For quotas to work effectively (IMHO) you really need an OD environment with all that that means. It can be made to work over a WAN connection but the question is do you really want to? Again just an opinion but better to print to it directly and leave it at that."+
    Right now, the forwarded LPR port works, but I have a problem that this is still an open port. Anyone who knows the address of my router can print to my printer. I don't think that is going to happen too often, but it's still a problem all the same. Do you know how to set up OD authentication for printing on Mac OS X 10.6 over the LPR or IPP protocols?
    Also, hypothetically if you were to have multiple printers on your LAN, then the server would need to handle the print requests, correct? (i.e. - the IPP or LPR port would need to be forwarded to the server). This method has been unsuccessful for me with even one printer on my LAN.
    +"Your printer looks like it supports IPP in which case have you contacted HP Tech Support yet? Ask them the question as they may be able to help?"+
    I have not contacted HP Tech Support yet. I think it may have something to do with my router. I've been in communication with Cisco about some other issues. I'll try to talk to them this weekend about the IPP port and others not seemingly being forwarded to the server and/or printer.
    Any other help you could provide in the meantime is appreciated.

  • Printing Speed thru Server

    I've setup my ML Mini Server as a print server using Airprint to share a printer over wifi with my iPads.  The reason i'm using airprint is because i've used the CUPS print server to create 2 virtual printers, each one is directed to one of the printers 2 paper bins which each have different special papers.  Airprint let me share the virtual printers over wifi, allowing me to print on the special papers from the iPads.
    Problem is that its SLOW.
    First page out from a computer printing to that printer (not using the ML server) is about 8 seconds.
    First page out from an iPad is 30 seconds. 
    This is really slowing down our workflow.
    Questions:
    Is it slow because its an ipad printing over wifi?
    Is it slow because of the ML server acting as the print server?
    Is it slow because of Airprint?
    Not sure how to troubleshoot this. 
    Any ideas?

  • Can't find printer over and over again

    Every time I try to print, I have to use the Wireless Setup Wizard AGAIN and type in my network password AGAIN until my computer finds my printer AGAIN.  Then I can print.... until I can't AGAIN and I have to do all this AGAIN.  This has become a royal pain.  I can only print consecutively IF it is still printing while I send it the next thing to print.  If my printer is finished printing one page, and then a minute later I send it something else to print, the computer can no longer find the printer so I do all these steps over again.
    I'm on a Mac that is about a year old, if that, runniong Mac OS 10.9.5 .  My HP 7520 used to print with no issues when I got it a few months ago.  I don't think I was running 10.9 at the time, or at least not 10.9.5 .  At some point I upgraded my OS so I wonder if that's when the problem started - but I don't know for sure.  Another issue is that my ipad can no longer find my printer, either, so I can no longer use Air Print to print from that device directly.
    Please give me the steps to correct this once and for all.  This is my third HP and I'm starting to regret this purchase.
    Thank you.

    Hello ctphd ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer keeping a wireless connection to the Mac.
    I do have few suggestions that we can try.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document that deals with when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Try these steps first and if you are still having an issue, write me back and I will be happy to assist further.
    Cheers,

  • C7280 AIO won't print over network. Was working on WiFi, still works on USB.

    My AIO quit printing over the network after 2 years of service. The USB port still prints OK. My Linksys utility still sees the printer, and I even get ink levels back, but print jobs are hung up in the queue with status 'Error - Printing'.  I tried a wired ethernet connection and got the same result, so it's not a wireless problem, but rather networking in general. The network report indicates everything is normal, but I still can't print. I re-installed the driver but that didn't work.
    I am running Vista, and the printer had been working fine till two weeks ago. My wife would use the USB port to print, and she said she got updates for the printer. HP doesn't distribute f/w updates for the printers themselves, does it? It's as if the networking f/w in the printer got hammered.

    No joy.
    I'm connected with Ethernet port. I have disabled the firewall. The IP address matches on the printer's network status report, and on the Printer dialog box on the computer. I can see that the printer is connected when I run a Linksys utility. I can get the ink levels and I can print an alignment page.
    But I can't print a document. About 60 seconds after I initiate the print job, the status changes from 'Printing' to Error - Printing'.
    I clearly have connectivity, but something is preventing me from sending a document. Any ideas to try, or tests to run?
    I think the same behavior occurs in wireless mode, but I think I have a better chance with a wired connection right now. As I said, USB works OK.

  • 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.
