Printing problems with 10.4 and 10.6 on same airport network

We have an HP LaserJet 1160 connected by USB to a Mac wireless hub (Airport). On the wireless network there are three Mac computers, two of them pre-Intel running OS 10.4 and the third an Intel machine that has recently been upgraded from 10.4 to 10.6. A consequence of the upgrading is that after we have printed to the 1160 from the OS 10.6 machine we cannot print to the 1160 from the 10.4 machines: the printer status window states 'Opening printer connection' for an indefinite period and no printing occurs. On the two 10.4 machines I have updated the 1160 driver to version 2.0 . The work-around is to power-down and restart the Airport hub after printing from the 10.6 Mac and before printing from one of the 10.4 machines, but that doesn't feel like the 21st century! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Johnny,
Is it possible to put on 10.5/ 10.6?
Nope G3s are left out for 10.5, and every G3,G4, & G4 (PPC) is left behind by 10.6.

XP - Win7Pro(64bit) network printing problem with both D2660 and B8550

Everything seems to be working but the printing. I can enable sharing on win7, even add the x86 drivers. I can 'Add Printer' on XP and browse and find either printer. It installs fine and can be made the default printer. I can select printer preferences and I see the user interface unique to each printer and can adjust page layout/quality/whatever. But when I push print, it fails. Likewise if I just try to print test page, I get a failure.
Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance?
I tried the troubleshooter, but no joy.
I also tried the HP Print Diagnostic Utility and it immediately returns and says connection could not be established-- reboot the computer. Seems like it thinks it is a local printer?
Any thoughts?

Problems with win vista and an AX to AX extended network

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me out with a problem I'm having. I have a house with several floors and had patchy coverage from the Airport Express unit serving as a base station, at least down in the basement where my desktop is located. I decided to put a 2nd Airport Express unit halfway between, and choose to extend the network (using the Extend a Wireless Network option from the dropdown box, rather than WDS). For some reason, my pc won't connect properly to the 2nd AX, I get an IP address assigned, but can't ping anything. When I check the log, I see these entries for the mac address of the desktop:
Apr 25 14:18:18 5 Associated with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c
Apr 25 14:18:22 5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c (reserved 2).
Apr 25 14:18:22 5 Disassociated with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c
Curiously, I have a laptop that works just fine, and I can confirm that it's connected to the extending station using the AirPort utility by seeing the wireless clients attached.
On several occasions I have managed to get the desktop to the base upstairs (in spite of the patchy reception) and reception permitting, it works ok. Very strange!
Other info:
my setup is adsl+ > thomson modem/router (from the isp, O2) > airport express base station (via ethernet cable) > airport express extending station
the desktop uses a linksys wireless g pci adapter, latest driver downloaded
the laptop is a sony vaio running vista business, the desktop vista ultimate
I am using WPA/WPA2 PERSONAL with AES encryption.
I have an integrated modem / router from my ISP that acts as a dhcp server and is connected to the AX base station via an ethernet cable.
My iphone also connects to the AX extending station
The AX base station is broadcasting 802.11n (b/g compatible mode)
Am I stretching the windows compatibility with this setup?

Sounds like it should work to me. I run the following for a network: AExt Dual Band on 2.4 & % Ghz, AExp as extender on 2.4 Ghz, AExp on 5 Ghz as extender, an HP Notebook with Vista 32 connects on 2.4 Ghz, Older IBM Notebook runs XP connects on 2.4 GHz, a new DELL Intel Quad running Vista 64 connects on 5 Ghz. It all works without problems.
I did have some connecting issues when I was using Norton 360 release 2.something. I upgraded to version 3, free with active subscription, and all issues have seemed to go away. Release 3 seems to be much more Apple aware.
Would encourage you to call Apple Support. When I called, I found them to be pretty knowledgeable and they actually speak US English as their native language.
Another tip, if you go to "Network & Sharing Center", you can see signal strength. I found this useful to tell where a particular system was connecting.
Hope this helps, Good Luck!

Printing Problem with Pro 8 and Reader

I have this problem where when I print to any printer, from Acrobat pro, or reader, any sort of graphics/image in the PDF doesn't come out properly. For example, most of the graphics/image part looks solid black, or blocky. I usually take the same PDF, open it up on another computer, and print it to the same printer i normally print to, and it prints fine. I also can print from any other program other than acrobat/reader just fine.
So far, i have uninstalled Reader, and reinstalled Acrobat, with no result.
Any ideas?

Not alot of information to go on but you might check to see if Print Color As Black is checked in the lower left corner of the Print dialog.

Printing Problem with Pro-100 and Photoshop

This is my setup: using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6. I have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up OK. First thing printed was a page from a document from MS Word on 8.5X11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up Photoshop and open a 4X6 inch image (just a snapshot in jpeg, landscape format) to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as 4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print.
Now, when it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and it starts printing on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image, it doesn't matter), and it does it printing from Nikon’s Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either. I want to be able to print from Photoshop. I have the most recent Canon driver, and Photoshop is up to date. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same problem? I don’t think I’ve overlooked anything. Thanks JMDavis!

Major printing problem with Epson R1800 and 1.5

I have an Epson R1800 and Aperture 1.5
Any page that I try to print borderless has a quarter inch border around 2 edges. I've tried to calibrate but the two borders are way outside what the calibrate option can deal with.
This happens on all paper sizes. There is no option that I can find anywhere to fix this.
Every other app prints just fine, including iPhoto. It seems limited to Aperture.
Thanks, Bill

Behold the power of asking a question.
It fixed itself.
I have no idea how or why. But after 3 hours of working, it fixed itself in less than 5 minutes.
Thanks, Bill

Printing problems with Canon MP600R (and zathura)

Hi, I've been trying to get my printer working properly. I've installed cups according to the wiki article, and adding the printer worked as expected. This is where I'm at: When printing from zathura, the resulting page is really low resolution. When printing to cups-pdf from zathura, the resulting PDF is of very low resolution. However, when using
lp -d Virtual_PDF_Printer test.pdf
the resulting PDF is just fine. When printing with
lp -d Canon_MP600R test.pdf
the page is much better in resolution, but still not ideal. Also, it seems that the font comes out too bold?!
However, the cups test page I've printed looks fine to me.
Not sure if this is related, but sometimes the printer does not react to a print job, and /var/log/cups/error_log contains lines like this:
Got USB transaction timeout during write.
Thanks in advance

Anyone having printer problems with adobe cs5 and mountain lion

I can print one copy in adobe cs5 but if I hit the print button it shuts down the program. Anyone having this problem besides me?

Are the drivers for your printer are up to date? You probably can print one copy cause it doesn't access the option window in your application.

Printing problems with macbook pro and canon 4150

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8. I also have a Canon imageclass MF4150 printer. I downloaded from the canon website the driver Mac-UFR II Printer Driver V2.25. When I try to print, I get an error message.
Can anyone suggest a generic printer driver that would work?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a NetGear WGR614 that has worked without issue for a macmini, my MBP and direct-wired PCs and Linux towers. It only has issues when ATT DSL causes connectivity issues what require them fixing things in their connection centers.
WGR614 is a few years old, but they still sell it.
I was warned years ago against DLink.
LinkSys was recommended almost as more reliable then NetGear.
But then Airport Express is an Apple product and Apple has direct links to set them up from your Mac.

Print problem with InDesign CS5 and Power RIP-X

Problem with ipod mini and nano hooked on same computer

Last year I bought a mini and hooked it up to my computer. It works great. So great that I decided to buy a nano recently. The problem is...When I hooked up the nano to the same computer, I was unable to create or add playlists, and Itunes simply took some of my library from the mini and added it to my nano. The software that came with the nano won't install either because I have a previously installed version of Itunes. Anybody with more than one Ipod who can help me with this problem?? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I have 2 ipods connected to one PC. Seen this?

Problem with outgoing email and 1.0.1

Outgoing email seems slower, especially with SSL enabled. I am configured with IMAP to exchange, BUT use smtp.dslextreme.com for outgoing. The email will send out but it will take over a minute. I did not have this problem with 1.0 and I had the same configuration with 1.0.

Well, i decided to use my gmail account for my outgoing smtp configuration and that works great, and with ssl. So i am going to say my problem is with dslextreme and use google for outgoing now. Thanks Apple, this phone kicks ***.

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Problem with java, ASCII and Linux

Hi Friends,
I has a Linux RedHat 9.0 with a jre1.5.0_04 (rpm package of Sun).
I has a problem with ASCII , for example :
import java.io.*;
public class HolaMundo
public static void main (String[] args)
System.out.println("Hol� M�ndo");
this programs runs ok on my windows jdk so it prints "Hol� M�ndo", but when i run the same HolaMundo.class program on my linux redhat it prints "Hol�� M��ndo"
I think the problem is with the ASCII table that uses the linux version of jre, but i dont know how to solve this problem. I need a Spanish-European ASCII table on my application but i think it is working with a US-ASCII table.
Then i has installed a kaffe 1.0 (rpm) java machie on this linux and this solve the problem but i has another problems of compatibility with this old version of java kaffe.
Do you know whats happening?
Thanks in advance.

The problem doesn't have to do anything with Java or Linux as far as i can see. It's more likely a problem with Windows XP and IE. Be assured that normally downloading the Linux JDK in windows is not a problem.
