Printing through the network

I have heard the I can print through my wireless network. Just where do I have to go and what do I have to do to get that going ? I want to be able to print to a printer upstairs from a pc downstairs. The pecee recieves a signal from my wreless router by my macpro.
thanks

This whole thing began when I asked the tech at school if he had ever used a bluetooth printer. He reponded by saying, "Why would I ? I can just print through the network," I had been thinking of getting a bluetooth printer so my partner could print from downstairs, The printer upstairs prints through the usb cable from the mac pro. No ethernet connection no blutooth on this printer. So this is what leads me to the question.
So it's the printer sharing I need to look at in system preferences ! Thanks. It's got to be possible to go cross platform. I print from both pc and mac to a printer in the room next to mine at school. I've never done anything but add printer from an available printer list which is identifiedby room number or entering the ip address for the printer. I've not needed to do anything about sharing printer in settings. Would this mean the mac pro which it's connected to needs to be on to print from the pcee downstairs or just that the network be active ?
Thanks

HT4356 Printing through a network on an iPad how do I download from hp , I have an older hp printer and just bought a Cisco n900 router I want to have my iPad print to the router USB

I am trying to print from my iPad through a network using a Cisco n900 router, any Ideas on how to do this I have hp printers older version c4480

FrankieG-
You have three potential problems. First, your printer is not on Apple's list of AirPrint printers <iOS: AirPrint 101>. Second, AirPrint does not work through a USB connection. An AirPrint printer must be connected to the network either by WiFi or by Ethernet. Third, some WiFi routers do not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.
To make your setup work, you can use an iPad printing App such as PrintCentral or Print n Share. Either may work for you if their built-in text, browser, mail and photo programs meet your needs. However, they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option. You might also try the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz.
Another approach is to run a program on your computer, that shares its printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Printopia and FingerPrint can do that, and are reported to work well. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

Can Connect to Printer through ethernet network cable, but not through Time Capsule connected to ethernet

I am a lone Mac user in a very large, unsympathetic institution. If I plug my MacBook Air into the ethernet cable in my office directly, I can print through the office printer. If I plug the ethernet cable into a Time Capsule and connect my Air to the capsule wirelessly I cannot print to the office printer. I can access the internet, so I know it isn't a problem with any of the hardware or the wireless connection.
Is it possible that the network, because of Time Capsule, shuffles me into a different subnet than the printer? Why would it do this? How would it know? Is there any kind of fix possible? (I use the Thunderbolt port to connect my Air to a monitor, so I can't use it to connect to an ethernet cable).
Thanks.

Thank-you very much for this. How do I tell if it is in routher and bridge? How do I change it?
Tell me the IP address when you plug into the main network and can print..
Tell me the IP address when you connect wirelessly via the TC.
If they are the same IP range.. then you are on a bridged TC.. if they are different. Then you are on router mode TC and should bridge it.

Setting up a Printer over Wirless Network

I have a MacBook Pro and a Old G4 Mirror Door connected to a Linksys Wirless Router in my home. I only have one phone jack in my house and its in the kitchen.:( So I put an Airport card in the G4 so I could have my computer in my office. I have a hp Deskjet 3650 connected directly to the G4 via USB. What I'm wondering is.. is there a way that I can print to this printer from my MacBook Pro over the network? Or does the printer have to be connected directly to the wirless router?
Hope someone can help.
Cheers,

You certainly can set up a printer this way. Go to the Print & Fax preference pane in the System Preferences. Click on the Sharing tab, enable "Share these printers with other computers", and make sure that the check box next to your printer is checked.

Sharing a Printer Through Network

I have a PC and a MacBook which share the same internet connection. I'd like to be able to share the printer through the network and share files if I can.
Is there any way of being able to?

You sure can do that. In fact, I have 2 Macs and 3 PCs doing just that. I followed iFelix's excellent instructions found HERE to get it all up and running.

Simple printer for my network (connected to windows pc)

I'm looking for a printer to connect to a windows PC that will let me print through the network from my MacBook and iMac.
I just want a simple and cheap printer, nothing too fancy.
I've got a HP3650 now, but I cant get it too work like this (tried everything from standard osx drivers to cups, foomatic, gutenprint etc..) But nothing seemed to work for me.

I would recommend you purchase a printer that has its own network card (wired or wireless). That way you don't need to share it from Windows, allowing the Mac's to connect directly to the printer using their provided driver.

Problem with OS X.5 Leopard and printing through Airport USB printer

I have just upgraded to Leopard from Tiger and now I can't print. Previously, all 3 of my computers could print to my Samsung printer that is connected to the USB port of the Airport Extreme base station. They could see the Samsung printer through Bonjour and it worked great. Now my computers running Leopard can't see the printer on the wireless network. I've downloaded the latest driver from Samsung and that didn't help. When I connect the printer directly to my Mac tower it prints fine. However I don't want to have the tower on all the time, sharing the printer through the network. It seems to be an issue with Leopard + Bonjour + Airport base station.
Details:
I have a G5 Tower connected via ethernet to the Airport router.
I also have an intel Mac Mini and a G4 Powerbook 1.67 connected to the Airport through wireless.
The Samsung laser printer is connected to the USB port on the Airport base station.

I too have been bit by the Leopard/wireless printing bug....
Originally, we had two older iMacs running Tiger; both printing to a Lexmark X502n wirelessly via an Airport Express. The set up worked flawlessly for approx. 15 months. A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded to a new (beautiful!) 24" iMac running Leopard. I can print one document, and then like the other posters, the printer shows it's printing, but the printer goes to pause and says it can not connect with host. The Express is on green light, and all the settings are there in the Airport Utility. If I go through the process to "discover" in the Airport Utility, I can then print another page.
But - once the new iMac goes into "printer pause" and needs to be reset, the other older iMac can no longer print. If I reset everything on the new iMac, the other iMac can print as usual - until I print from the new iMac. Lexmark still has no drivers available for this model and Leopard. Past postings on various boards projected they would be available by mid-2008. Obviously, that has not happened. I have contacted Lexmark and they tell me they don't know when drivers will be available. I spent most the day yesterday on the phone with 3 different people at Apple Care. No help other than to say I need the new drivers.
I'd move the laser printer over by my computer and connect via USB, but it is also our fax machine and on a dedicated line. Since we only have the one jack for the second phone line, moving the printer is not an option.
Any help appreciated! I'm ready to go out and buy new cartridges for my old trusty HP inkjet....
The new iMac is connected to a D-Link WBR-2310.
The airport express is connected to the Lexmark X502n via USB.
The wireless network is not secured.

Printing to a Canon MP490 from a Windows 7 laptop through a networked Mini

I have a new MP490 hooked up to a new Mac Mini. I've downloaded the new drivers that allow operation with Snow Leopard and the printer works fine in this configuration. My problem starts when I try to print to the printer from a PC running Widows 7 that's connected to the same router as the mini. I installed the newest Windows drivers for the 490 on the laptop and connected to the printer via a network connection. When I print the printer goes through all the motions of printing but only sends a piece of paper through the printer without try to print anything on it. I hooked the printer directly to the Windows laptop and was able to print normally. The problem obviously lies with network printing through the mini. Any suggestions?

If you upgraded to Yosemite from a previous OS X then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will remove all devices from Printers & Scanners preference pane, but not the supporting drivers, so you will just need to add the devices again.
If the reset does not help then you may have a driver version issue. The latest v11.7.1 driver installer should overwrite the older installed version, but is some cases this does not happen and you need to manually remove the driver files and run the installer again. Before removing the files, open Printers & Scanners and remove the MP560 printer. Then to remove the printer files, open Finder and select Go > Go to Folder. Then type /Library/Printers/Canon and press the Go button, The Finder view should show the BJPrinter folder and possibly and IJScanner folder. Open the BJPrinter folder and trash the contents. Then empty the Trash, restart the Mac and then run the v11.7.1 driver that you got from the Canon website. Add the printer and see if this prints correctly.

HT2495 I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences.

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.

Problem with Printing through Deskjet F4288 on Network

Need suggestion to sortout the problem with HP Deskjet F4288 All in one Printer. This printer is installed on Windows XP OS System and when we try to give print on the network through other WinXp OS system then the spooler stopes working on the main system on which this printer is connected.

This sounds like the same issue on another post.

Go to the computer that the HP F4280 printer is connected to.
Click on Start --> Printer and Faxes
Right click on HP Deskjet F4280 and select Properties
Click on Advanced tab
Uncheck "Enable advanced printing features"
click OK

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Apparently there is no HP software support for the HP 3050 fax or scan functions with OS X 'Lion' 10.7:

Alternatives?
1) Run a Windows client on the Mac using Boot Camp or one of the available virtualization programs like Parallels, VMware Fusion, and others so you can run the latest Windows print/fax/scan driver.
2) If your Mac hardware supports an older OS X version, downgrade to one (Snow Leopard?) that still had support for print, fax and scan.
3) Buy a newer printer. A 2007 model is 5+ years old, and should now be fully depreciated in a business.

Unable to printer through network

Hi, I am currently unable to print through the wireless network. I set up the printer yesterday, and it printed ok. The printer is a HP Office Jet Pro Preium . When I try to print I get the message "Unable to communicate with printer. Printer unavailable or not connected". The printer says that it is properly connected to the network. Any ideas?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having trouble installing your HP Photosmart c4580 printer on Mac OS X 10.5.8. And, I am happy to help! I would recommend to try uninstalling the software again, (in case their is still some software partially installed.) Uninstall the Printer Software. And, then try resetting the print system, and verifying and then reinstall the software using this direct link. Hope this helps! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

When I try to install my Brother MFC-8810DW printer through a wireless network I get error:-30886

When I try to install my Brother MFC-8810DW printer through a wireless network I get error:-30886. The computer recognizes the printer, and asks me to identify the software, but I get the same error message repeatedly.

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.
