Printing problem on laser printer attached to Windows XP

Hi,
I am trying to print a test page on Samsung ML-2510 laser printer connected and shared on Win XP. I have a green dot for this printer in Print & Fax on Mac, all looks cool. But I get the message 'On Hold (Authentication required) with red circle in printer status window on Mac. When I hit 'resume printing of selected jobs' it asks me to enter username and password for XP. I do, I hear the printer starting to print something but no page is printed. I have no problems using this printer from other XP machines.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

THIS WORKS, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
I just purchased a vista home premiun computer and was having the same issue making my hp 5150 printer work through a networked xp system that the printer is physically attached to..It now works.. procedure= ( on the vista computer ) remove all old printers and printer drivers from previous attempts.
Go to this address and download this driver http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?os=2093&softwareitem=dj-46093-3&lc=en&cc=us... HP_Vista_SF_Ph1.exe ,,click on it and let it install. when it ask if installing a local or network printer (choose network ) continue install. It may tell u the drivers may not install properly, ( install anyway ) It may again tell you the drivers did not install correctly ( do not fix just keep them installed incorrectly ) now leave the print test page window open.
Go to add printer wizard and install new printer ( network printer ) add a local port and type EXACTLY the same path to the xp based printer EXAMPLE= \\lisajunk\printer .....finish wizard and print test page...
I done nothing to the xp computer, my printer and drivers work good on my other networked computers which use xp operating system.
I believe creating the correct port and having the correct path on the vista machine is the key to making this work. I use xp pro SP1 on an old antique 400mhz gateway that my printer is physically attached to.. You need to make sure the printer is being shared on the machine it is physically attached too.

Canon MG6220 wierd zooming/cropping printing problem, only when printing with Windows XP?

The printer in question is a Canon Pixma MG6220, connected to a WindowsXP printer. I've printed this same document on a Brother laser printer, that is connected to the same computer, and it prints correctly. I've printed this same document on a Epson inkjet printer, and it prints correctly. I've printed this same document at Staples, on one of their big laser printers, and it prints correctly. So, this printing problem is only occurring with this Canon printer. One other thing that may help you with this, is that last night I moved this Canon printer to another computer, except this one had Windows 7 on it, and it printed flawlessly! So, it seems that it may have something to do with Windows XP printer driver.
I'm printing a one page document from Word 2002 which consists of about 10 pictures, no text. All the pictures on the page are the same height but a different width. When I print the document, some of the pictures print correctly and some of them do not.
Essentially, what is happening is that some pictures are zoomed in about 50%, yet still print in the same area that is set in the document. So, the image looks like it has been rudely cropped.
The oddest thing is that this only happens to some of the pictures. There is nothing special about these pictures. The pictures that print correctly are from the same source as the ones that don't print correctly. I’ve done other Word documents like this, with the same format but different pictures, and they printed wrong too, some pictures correct and some zoomed/cropped.
Here is a summary of the pictures from the files I attached, and which ones printed correctly, and which did not: The first one is a screen capture of the Word document, and the other is a scan of the printed document.
Row 1
    Pic 1 – error (zoomed/cropped), Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
Row 2
    Pic 1 – correct, Pic 2 – correct, Pic 3 – correct
Row 3
    Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
Row 4
    Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct
One observation of the incorrectly printed pictures, is that the upper left corners appear unaffected. It is the lower right corners that get the weird zooming/cropping effect.

Urgently restore a backup of the registry.
Urgently do not use the word 'urgently' in a forum of volunteers.
Also it can not be urgent, as Forms 4.5 dates from the Flintstone age, and probably isn't even certified on XP.
However, the error message is very clear: Apparently Forms 4.5 uses the registry to store printer info: you need to get that entry back. That kind of info is usually documented. Documentation is likely still online.

Windows 8 printing problem with 2575 printer

My Photosmart 2575 printer worked ok with windows XP on my old Dell computer. On my new Lenovo Windows 8 computer using the usb printer connector there is a problem.
When I try to print a word document it prints the first 6 to 8 lines of the document and then displays "printing" and hangs, so I have to cancel the print. When I re-try the printing, it again prints 8 or so lines of the documentand, ejects the paper and says "out of paper". When I reload the paper it prints the document successfully.

@dave_sk, Welcome to the forums!
I read about the troubles you are now having when trying to print from your Photosmart 2575 to your Windows 8 system. I sure hope I can help you through this obstacle and have you printing again!
I would first like to mention the error message you see when trying to print. Here is the troubleshooting guide to work through the "Out of Paper" error, please try all the steps:
HP Deskjet, Photosmart, and PSC All-in-Ones - 'Out of Paper' Error Message and the Printer Does Not ...
Hopefully you can print without the error message however, if you see it again, run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Please write back with the outcome and also the results from running the PSDr.

Cannot get reports printed on a laser printer

I installed a new laser printer on the PC with Lookup loaded on it. Lookout does not recognized the printer attached to the LPT port. Windows XP is the OS and it prints a test page with no problem as does the other programs on the PC. The only printer it communicates with is a dot-matrix printer. There is a printer key (dongle) attached to the PC. Is the dongle/key specific to the type of printer that is attached? Is the dongle/key necessary for the Lookout program?

For older versions (Georgetown era), AND in only certain countries Lookout did require dongles. I am guessing NI did away with them in recent years. (Wouldn't the next logical step be to open the source up, eh? )

Major Printing Problem - Can't Print in any App, with Any Printers

I help my Aunt with her three Macs (2 eMacs, 1 MacBook, all running 10.4.8 right now) at her office, and she had me come to help recently because one of the eMacs stopped printing anything; here's what happens:
In every app besides Word (e.g. Safari, TextEdit, AppleWorks, etc.): If I click File>Print... or press 'Command-P,' the cursor turns into the spinning rainbow for a few seconds, and nothing happens (meaning I can do anything I want in the application, as if nothing at all happened).
In Word: If I click File>Print... or press 'Command-P,' Word sits for a minute with the spinning rainbow, then locks up and quits itself. BUT, if I click the little 'print' button in the toolbar (the one that bypasses the print dialog box), the file will print.
I tried resetting the printing system, setting up different printers on the computer, printing over the network and over USB (directly connected to port 1 on the eMac), and re-downloading/installing the printer drivers for the Brother 5250DN laser printer AND the HP LaserJet 1200 laser printer, but all to no avail.
I can run the Printer Setup Utility and recognize the printers (via Bonjour over the network and via USB), and the computer can run the printer setup utilities, so I know the printer communicates fine with the computer. I also can print to the printers (both the networked one and the Brother) from any of the other Macs (including my own laptop) over the network. But I can't get the print dialog box to show up for any printer on the one eMac.
I'm determined that this problem lies within the OSX printing system, but reinstalling the whole OS is not an option, as I would have to re-setup all the software, user accounts, special network settings, etc. (even if I do an Archive and Install). Is there anything I can do??? (I seem to recall someone else having this problem, but I can't find that thread on the forum).

There's another thread describing this same problem. I am having the issue too. As I posted in the other thread:
"Well, I did a full Archive and Install, with restore user settings, and the thing still won't print! All apps crash when trying to print (except Mail.app, which is odd). So it appears all of the files required for printing are there since Mail.app works, but I still can't print from Safari, Firefox, Preview, TextEdit, etc etc. ARGH!!!!
Next step is to downgrade to 10.4.8."
If that doesn't work, I guess an Erase and Install would be th next step.

Can no longer properly print to colour laser printer after latest update

Hi,
I've just updated my iLife '08/Leopard software using software update. It would appear that I can no longer print greeting cards etc. from iPhoto to my colour laser printer since this update. All photos are printed in a very pale yellow colour that is hardly visible.
I've tried a couple of things to diagnose the problem:
1. Saved the file as a PS and printed it from a different machine running Tiger. Same result as before: Pale yellow.
2. Viewed the PS file using Preview on the Tiger and Leopard machines. The colours were normal.
3. Saved just the image (i.e., no greeting card pattern) to desktop and printed it from my Leopard machine. The picture printed out perfectly on the colour laser printer.
4. Printed the greeting card to an inkjet. That seems to work, too.
5. Just in case there was a problem with the new greeting card, I tried to print an old card that perfectly printed before. It, too, came out in a pale yellow.
So there appears to be some problem printing from the latest version of iPhoto to my colour laser printer. I did update the printer driver, just in case, but still have the same problem. Any ideas what else I could try?
The printer is an HP Color Laserjet 2550L

I have just discovered that I can properly print pictures from iPhoto to the colour laser, as long as I don't put them in a greeting card. So that seems to be the trigger.

Printing problems using a print server

I am having trouble printing across my local network to some printers. This is a mixed wired and wireless LAN.Lan works fine as the windows machines print with no problems.
Printing takes place using a Trendnet TE 100-P21 Print Server. This box is connected to my network with a CAT6 cable. It has 2 USB and one Parallel port.
The Mac can print to the parallel printer with no problem. Installation was easy and painless. It found the other two printers (the USB ones) just as easily, installed drivers, etc. It even knows when they are idle or not.
_It can print to the HP 6L, which is the only one that has a parallel connection._ (I think that must be important)
_But it can’t print to the other two, both of which have USB connections._
Here are the Queue Names that the Mac reported. (In the below notations, P3 denotes the parallel printer port, U1 the first USB port, and U2 the second USB port on the print server.)
HP6L (parallel)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-P3._printer.tcp.local.
*Cannon i9900* (USB)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-U1._printer.tcp.local.
*HP ColorLaserJet 3500* (USB)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-U2._printer.tcp.local.
Windows machines on the network can print to all three printer with no problem, so we know printers, print server, network and cables work. When hooked up directly to the printer (at least the HP 3500) the Mac can print as well. But not when connected via the print server.
Eventually the job times out and the HP 3500 spits out a page that reads
PCL XL error
System: KERNEL
Error: IllegalTag
Operator: Vendor Unique
Position 8
Any thoughts?

I assure you that changing print server will not fix this issue. You MUST have a CUPS driver to print to a non-postscript, not-intended-for-network printer via the standard comm protocols available in OS X and on nearly all print servers. The Gutenprint drivers included by Apple are CUPS drivers, as opposed to the old Mac-style "monolithic" drivers.
* It is true that using a postscript driver to print to a postscript printer would work for the TrendNet as well as nearly All other print servers. Postscript is the native output (well, along with "packaged postscript" = PDF) of OS X, so a postscript driver IS A CUPS driver by default.
I hope this helps you avoid the hassle of buying another brand of print server, only to find out out it is the same.

Printing Problem on Canon Printer

Hi Gurus,
Greetings and Thanks in advance!
I have problem in Invoice printing on new Canon LBP 2900 B printer. Whenever I print on this printer the one character from right side does not print. Whereas if the same printing we are doing on HP Laserjet printer it comes perfectly.
I tried to create a new output device through SPAD in which I have used following:
Device Type: SWIN Windows printing via SAPlpd (since i didnt find Canon printer in the list so i used windows standard)
Device Class: Standard Printer
Host Spool Access Method: G:Front End Printing with control Tech.
Host Printer: _Default
But it was giving the same problem. Please suggest the solution.
Regards
Rajesh

Delay in printing with HP laser printer query

I use a I Mac as well as a Ipad and Mac Air. My printer is a HP 1525nw laser printer. My network is via a Time Capsule Router/back up. When I print, there is a long delay before the printer starts. The Imac printer app says it is printing, but it doesn't seem to be reaching the printer. My printer is connected to the Time capsule with a USB cable, but my computers are all connected via my Airport wireless. When I check an hour or so later, the printing is usually finished. Why the delay? Any help from the Apple nation would be appreciated.

Printing problem - no such printer installed

Dear sirs,
today I write to report another issue with printing. It sometimes happen, completely random, that after a print with a printer (no matter which printer) if I select another printer and press "Printer preferences" from your "amazing print dialog"(TM), an alert appear with the message "no such printer" or "no such printer installed" (I use a localized version of PS5 so I don't know the exact message in English, but I'm sure you can understand).
The solution is to shut down PS5, open it again, open the file again, open the print dialog again, select the printer again, select Printer Preferences again, and it finally works (ok, there is still the number of copies issue, so I have to do the whole process one more time to print correctly).
Please check this too.
Don't you have a tool to make debug file to allow you to check what is happening?

Windows 7 has a built in Problem Step Recorder. You can use that (if you have Windows 7).
Wait a second you wrote you have Photoshop 5 (PS5)? That is way old software. What Operating System are you trying to run that on?

Printing problems with CS3- Prints dont match what is on screen

My prints dont match what i am seeing on the screen when using CS3. I am using windows xp and printing on a epson 7800. I never had this problem before i started using CS3. I have calibrated my monitor.
I have the standard version of CS3 not the extended.
I read a arctical that CS3 prints darker then what is on your screen. The solution if you have CS3 extended is to increase lightness just before printing, but what if you dont have the extended version, what do you do?
I couldnt find this topic on the forum here. I am sure others must have had this problem too. What is my solution?
Thanks in advance
KB

There are a bunch of things that can affect the difference between what you see on screen and what you get in print. It is not enough to just look at calibration. Calibration is a starting point. Here are some things that may affect your result:
* Your monitor type
* Your PC type (laptops may not be best for image correction)
* Your calibration device
* The lighting in the area you work in
* Choices made while calibrating
* Proper setup for using the ICC profile (e.g., you aren't running conflicting software)
* Proper color management setup
* Smart choice in color space / working space selection
* Sensible choices for any other color management changes (if any)
* Careful use of on screen proofing settings
* Sensible choice for color management in capture (on camera or with scanner)
* Smart use of color profiling
* Good choice of printing materials / inks (as applicable)
* Good choice of equipment for printing
* Proper maintenance of printing equipment
I'm probably missing a few there, but I'll work on it. The best scheme I think is to keep things as simple as possible. Especially if you are having trouble, eliminate variables. When you get things working as you expect, then you can try to get a little more fancy. However, every variable you add will come with drawbacks in one form or another. Freeagent seems to make some sense here...

PS documents prints on one laser printer but not on another

I have had to replace a Laser printer with a new one due to hardware failure. Old printer was able to print fonts etc. New printer is not printing the fonts. All that seems to print out is the font and spacing information.
Apart from the printer change nothing else is different.
Was using HP LJ4000 now using HP LJP2015N
Any ideas?

Hi Rebecca,
Please check which ppd file have you used to configure the new printer.
You can use the recommended ppd file to configure your printer(HP LJ 2015). You can download the post script ppd from :
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_P2015
Please let us know if this does not resolve your problem.

Print problem. trying to print a document in Preview, the start of the text prints half way down the page not at the top of the page?

Print problems. Printing out an email the text starts half way down the page. I tried taking a picture of the text I wanted to print, tried to print from Preview and have the same problem. If anyone has any ideas I would really apreciate it. Thanks Penny

One more thing to check: System Preferences/Print & Scan. Make sure your printer is set as Default.
I'm using OS X 10.8 and I don't see Page Setup anymore. If you have access to Page Setup, check to see if there are any adjustments to make there.
