Printing to a Dell 1320c (via LPD) in Mac OSX 10.5.4

Ok , yes its not at all a Mac friendly brand, yes I probably should just get another printer, but I have a mixed environment some with Windows, and they work well off the printer.
I CAN get it to print using the FX driver for the xerox c525 1.4ap, BUT the issue is it only works on the manual feed. I can also get it to work if connected USB but again the same issue.
I CANT change the settings to select the paper tray, in the Info / Driver section. But alas it still will only do manual feed.
HELP PLEASE

Thanks for the link, but no the only drivers given are for OS X 10.4, if I download the Mac package it does not work at all, just fails to load, as it checks the os version and comes back (in OS X 10.5 saying cant run).
I can download the linux drivers but have NO idea how to install them, or even if you can ??? and following the directions given does not work either...
BUT a big thanks for the reply, but alas no joy, so back to being stuck again

Issue while printing to A4 from Xerox J75 (fiery) through Mac OSX 10.9.3.

I've encountered an issue while printing to A4 from Xerox J75 (fiery) through Mac OSX 10.9.3.
The document and printer settings are set for A4 but the print job goes to the printer as A3.
The problem only occurs while printing through Adobe Photoshop CS6.

I get into trouble if I choose A4 borderless instead of A4 in the Photoshop Print settings.
There, Tray 2 is dimmed out
To be honest, I don't see borderless in your settings, but my doing that on my printer causes a default to the larger Tray 1.
That's all I have tonight. If I think of anything else, I'll post it. Here's thread on this issue as well.
Wrong paper size sent to the printer

Print Preview is missing from Firefox 6 on Mac OSX Lion in both File Menu and Print Dialog Box

The question says it all really. Print Preview option is missing from both the File menu and from the Print dialog box when you select Print. I use Print Preview a lot to avoid wasting paper.
A relevant issue might be that the Mac OSX app Preview is currently having trouble with various printers including my Xerox and so, temporarily, the default application for all Preview items is now Adobe Reader until Apple get their act together. Perhaps this is affecting things?
Thanks for any help

It's moved to the PDF dropdown, "Open PDF in Preview"

Kerberos via Bonjour fails (Mac OSX Server 10.6.2)

we setup an test-environment with server and clients (all running 10.6.2).
we had added also "non apple" server-machines (debian linux, windows) successfully.
the desired setup is to have SSO via Kerberos and managing users in the open directoy on a mac-server. A sync with "mobile accounts", timemachine etc. works.
anyway I am stucked with the Bonjour advertisements under "shares" in Finder. It seems that Bonjour does not advertise the "FQDN" of the mac-server but only the hostname. So connecting to the server in Finder via browsing fails although a Kerberos ticket availiable.
Using cmd+K and connect to "afp://server.domain.com" (so using the FQDN) works, the connection is established via the Kerberos ticket.
I had a similar problem when integrating the linux boxes. Here "Avahi" is used to broadcast the FQDN so the connection can be done (aka the Kerberos ticket is used).
How can I have the same thing in Bonjour, mostly just changing the advertised hostname for an entry ?

Reco,
In thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=647522&#647522 , Nemesis talks about "Inherit permissions from parent" requiring restarting the server. I don't know if you have tried that.
You have probably seen this in your searches, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/322/322391.html, where Adobe states,
"If you use Photoshop CS without Adobe Creative Suite or Photoshop 7 or earlier, Adobe Technical Support strongly recommends working in Photoshop directly on the local hard disk to prevent data loss. Save files to your hard disk first and then transfer them to the network or removable drive in the Finder or in the Windows Explorer. To retrieve files, copy them in the Finder or in the Windows Explorer from the network or removable drive to your hard disk then open the files in Photoshop. This will also avoid problems that may come from differing network system setups (for example, Windows NT Server, Netware, or AppleTalk) and removable media device drivers not being completely compatible with the operating system or Photoshop."
If you are just supporting Apple boxes what about this as a work-around?
1) Attach an action to a local folder. That action would copy any aded file to a network folder of your liking.
2) Set up an Applescript to copy the file from the network to the local directory set up in step 1. You could go further and even have the Applescript open the file in the appropriate application.
Additionally, if you are supporting just 10.6 clients, you could set up a File Service using Automator so that the client could just control-click on the network file and trigger the Applescript.
I imagine a similar type work-around could be setup for Windows boxes also.

Remote Desktop via F5 Firepass (Mac OSX 10.7 Lion to Windows XP Professional)

Hi Everyone
I'm trying to log-in to my Windows XP Professional PC at work from my OSX 10.7 Lion Mac using F5 Firepass.
On both Safari and Firefox I can access the 'Terminal Servers' page. There are two links on this page to my machine, one of which uses java and the other uses something else.
On Safari, clicking on either of the links just loads up a sort of 'template' page with unclickable links like 'Datopic's Office Computer' and 'Full Screen Mode' along the top.
On Firefox, I have the same problem as Safari with the non-java link, but using the Java link I can actually see the log-in screen for my computer. Unfortunately, although I can move the mouse cursor and click on things (e.g. the 'Username' box), I can't type anything - I just get a sort of 'beeping' sound from the computer as if I'm trying to type on a screen with no input fields.
Can anyone tell me from this what the issue is? Please bear in mind that my technical knowledge in this area is limited beyond belief, so the solution could be really simple.
Thanks
Datopic

Sounds like you are looking for some support on the drivers for this laserjet. Here is a website with those drivers. Try these and let me know if you have any trouble or if this successfully answers your question.

Mac OSx Full Drivers with Printer Options

Hi,
Is there a way to deploy full drivers with iPrint. The PPD driver deployment works well, but it lacks any of the printer functions that is needed by the clients. The printer is a Xerox WorkCenter 7845 (Color, HolePunch, Stapling. . . )
The PPD driver only does grey scale printing and none of the other features work. I would love to do the following with iprint:
1. Set printer options.
2. Deploy the full Mac OSx Driver package of Xerox for this printer.
Hope there is a reply out there.
Thanks.

Unable to print after upgrading to Snow Leopard (Dell 1320C) - Network

This recently started after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
The OSX drivers worked well with Leopard 10.5.xx but after upgrading to Snow Leopard, i keep getting "network host busy" or "could not connect to printer".
I've tried completly removing printer, reinstalling (IP based), drivers etc etc I even resetted the printing system (right clicking and reseting in the printers list).
This works fine with Leopard but it fails on Snow Leopard..

I had the same problem not being able to print to Dell 1320c after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Here is a work around for the Dell 1320c printer to work on Mac with Leopard 10.6.2
Do not use the printer driver from Dell. Delete the Printer Setup from your Mac.
Locate Mac Driver Suitable for 10.5 (Version 1.7) at http://www.fujixeroxprinters.com.au/en/support/Downloads.aspx?product=5452&categ ory=5726
Double click the icon to install after it downloads. It should create file DPC525AAPv17x5.dmg. When the install is finished you can delete the installer.
From the Apple menu open System Preferences and select Print & Fax.
Click the + to add a printer.
Select IP Printer.
Select for the Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD
Type the IP address: 192.168.1.xxx or whatever your printer is assigned on your network. (If you don't know, go to your printer and hold down the Green button until the configuration sheet prints. You can see the IP address once printed.)
Name the printer "Dell Color Laser 1320c" or whatever you'd like to call it.
For Print Using select: FX
Next select FX DocumPrint C525 A-AP v1.7 in the box below.
On the next screen you must select 250 Sheet Feeder as an option. Otherwise it will only be able to manual feed.
Click Ok.
Go to Print something, File... Print... but don't click the Print button yet.
Under Pages: go to the Drop Down and select Fuji Xerox Features.
Find the Paper Source Drop Down and select Tray 1 (250 sheets),
then go up to Presets: Drop Down above and select Save As...
and under Preset Name, type Standard-1, leave This Printer Only and click OK.
Now you can click the Print button. This will set the Dell 1320c printer to print from the document tray and not try to manually feed all the time.
Anyway, that's the work around to use the Dell 1320c Color Laser printer under Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.x.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck
P.S. I guess eventually Dell might come out with an updated driver, but don't hold your breath...

Dell 1320C Printer

I have downloaded install software for Dell 1320C printer. It is not communicating with my mini mac. I am using an IP Address of 10.0.0.1 - this might be the problem. Everything else seems fine.
Any suggestions?
Aussie Tony

Hello Jaskent,
It sounds like you do not have all the software installed with the printer. Please uninstall/reinstall using either your CD or the driver package listed below. That should get you back to where you want to be.

How do I find a driver for a Dell 1320c Colour Laser Printer for a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.2

How do I find a printer driver for a Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer for use on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks OSX 10.9.2?

Ask Dell who made the printer and what model is it. Then you can see if there is a matching driver provided with OS X or that can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.

Dell 1320c Laser Printer

Which driver do I use for a Dell 1320c laser printer? Fusion can see and install the driver on Windows 7 but Lion doesn't see the printer.

I inherited a Dell 1320c from my father in law (too big for his study). My heart sank when I read about the lack of compatibility of Dell printers with Mac Osx. So I hit the web more in hope than expectation. After an hour or 2 of searching through some rather complex explanations of how to connect the printer using IP, I almost gave up as the inherited printer doesn't have the optional ethernet port. I then came across a usefull discussion forum, which did the trick for me by enabling me to link the colour laser using USB to my Airport Extreme.
If you are using an Airport Extreme it is very straightforward. I downloaded what appears to be the normal driver from this page http://www.justanswer.com/mac-computers/437pf-hi-need-connect-dell-1320c-printer -new-imac-27inch.html
I plugged the printer into the USB port on the Airport Extreme. I then installed the printer in the same way as any other printer through the Print & Fax option in System Preferences. I simply selected the + sign on the printer list. I then chose the Dell Color Laser 1320c whcih was on the list shown. I could then select the right driver in the Print Using pull down list, Dell Color Laser 1320c v1.1 - the one I had downloaded.
Voila!
If you don't have Airport then this might be a good excuse to upgrade to an Airport network. That way you get to keep using a fully functional colour laser printer and get the Extreme for the price of a fully Mac compatible printer. No page feed problems, nothing.
It is also worth noting thst through the addition of an old 4 port USB hub I had languishing in a box from my days of using a pc that by plugging that into the Extreme USB port I was able to continue using the HP Photosmart printer I used to have plugged directly into the Extreme USB port in tandem with the Dell laser.
Technology tales rarely end so simply and sweetly for me, so I thought I would share it.

Drivers for Dell 1320c Color Laser

Can the drivers be downloaded? The Dell download site offers only Windows XP driver downloads for this printer. The Dell guy (sorry I buy Dells for my workplace) said it would work with a Mac if I downloaded the drivers.
Thanks,
Steve

To talk to a networked Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer using OS X 10.4 follow these steps.
Download the driver for the DocuPrint C525 from here: http://www.fujixerox.com.au/support/drivers/307
Double click the icon to install after it downloads. When the install is finished you can delete the installer.
From the Apple menu open *System Preferences* and select *Print & Fax*.
Click the + to add a printer.
Select *IP Printer*.
Select for the Protocol: *Line Printer Daemon - LPD*
Type the IP address: 192.168.1.177 or whatever it happens to be assigned you network. +You may need a Windows machine to configure an IP address OR you can look at your routers DHCP table for where it was assigned. After you know this you can actually log into the printer from your web browser to change any settings.+
Name the printer "*color laser*" or whatever you'd like it to be.
For *Print Using* select: FX
Next select *FX DocumPrint C525 A-AP v1.2* in the box below.
On the next screen +you must+ select *250 Sheet Feeder* is as an option. *Otherwise it will only manual feed.*
Click Ok.
Print something.
*Paper Source is not automatically selected on this printer.* It won't print unless you set it. This is found in the printer options called Printer Features. The paper should menu should be set to Auto or 250 Sheet Feeder.
Do a Save As... for the Printer Profile. So you don't have to check this every time the set that Profile as the Default.
*The steps for OS X 10.5* are nearly the same. The difference is that you don't have to download the driver from the website.

Network printing Printer Pauses /usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed

Morning,
I wonder if anyone has encountered the following problem?
NETWORK SET UP
We have a network of 8 macs & a Fuji Xerox c2255 printer all connected to a gigabit switch.
The Fuji Xerox has an fixed ip address 192.168.1.122 All devices have fixed ip address.
PROBLEM
Only one mac (Mac Pro) can print direct to the Fuji Xerox Printer. This Mac Pro is on 10.5.8. and it is sharing its printer connection with the rest of the studio. Oddily enough, the Appletalk function is turned on. When the appletalk function is turned off on the ethernet port, it can not longer directly print nor share the Fuji Xerox with the rest of the network
The remainder of the Macs are all on 10.6.4 or 10.6.3. When the printer is first installed on the an iMac client, it can print from text files, offices docs, from safari or firefox with out any problem. But when it attempts to print a pdf file (preview) or Indesign files then it pauses the printer. Within the printer queue, if attempt to restart the printer, the printer pauses. It remains in this state indefinitely. When looking at the CUPS logs via the console, the error is printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed". This is the message displayed on all the clients that attempt to print directly (via LPD) to the Fuji Xerox. Once this error message is logged, the iMac can no longer print out text files nor word documents.
The following console log is typically of what all the 10.6.x clients are reporting,

APPROACHED USED TO DATE
1. I have reset the Printer subsystem for all clients
2. I have reinstalled the latest PS drivers for this model of Fuji Xerox c2255. I have been on the phone with Fuji Xerox Technical support, FX DocuPrint C2255 v3017.104PS , and confirmed that this is the latest (and only) availible drivers for 10.5-10.6
3. I have had the Studio manger arrange to have the Fuji Xerox printer fully serviced and had the firmware updated to latest version.
4. Via Fuji Xerox Technical support, they advise I use the following settings for LDP printing for FX c2255,
Latest driver for 10.6 : 3017.104.ps
Setting to check :
Queue name : PS
Enable EtherTalk
LPD port : from auto to PS
Software version :
Controller plus PS role 1.100.21
5. I have (manually) deleted the all the FujiXerox drivers from /Library/Printers/ then repair permissions, then reinstalled the latest version of the Fuji Xerox driver from 10.6
WEIRDNESS
1. With the 10.6.x client, when the drivers are first installed, if I create a simply indesign file, I can print directly to the Fuji Xerox. If I then attempt to print out a previously created indesign document, it will pause the printer and the console (CUPS error_log) will display the above result. If I switch my printer to the Mac Pro 10.5.8 sharing the printer, the same document can print out via the hosted Fuji Xerox.
2. The Mac Pro 10.5.8 can print all documents directly to the Fuji Xerox regardless of the format of the document. It is also able to share the printer with the dept. This is the sole means of the dept being able to print out artwork.
3. Prior to the firmware upgrade I have tried an iMac printing/hosting the Fuji Xerox via direct USB cable. The same behaviour as above were experienced.
4. This model of Fuji Xerox only supports LDP or direct USB connection.
5. I have tried using the Bonjour address to configure the printer but the results are no better nor no worse. At one stage, all the iMacs were able to print sucessfully for a day but then 'stopped working' (as reported by the studio manager). They then switch back to the Mac Pro hosting the printer to continue working.
6. I discovered that if the drivers are installed and then a Permission repair carried out (via Disk Utility), it would change all the driver permissions for the files in the /Library/Printers/FujiXerox. When attempting to print (with the revised permissions), the 'print' button would not 'work'; the print dialog would present until Cancel was selected. It was almost like changing the permissions has lock out the functionality of being able to print. Manually moving the FujiXerox to Trash and reinstalling the drivers reverted the printer back to the above behaviour.
7. I discovered that when installing the printer, using LPD, it is better to allow the default settings. If I stuplated that the Fuji Xerox is a two bin set up, rather then a single bin set up, I can not print out from any application. If, I left settings as default, my assumption is that the apps can mange the printer features.
I've been working on this for a while now and this is driving me crazy. I would appreciate any suggestions. Has anyone come across this issue before ? Any ideas ?
Thank you,
Fred

Hi Pahu,
Thanks for your reply. I noticed that you have replied to a number of other postings as well - you're a good sort !! Your knowledge and contribution to this forum is much appreciated and very welcome.
Yes, this is a curly problem. I've actually been trying to resolve it for several months. Interesting the c2255 is not stated as being supported under Apple's Fuji drivers release for SN. The driver has to be downloaded directly from Fuji Xerox. The following is from the c2255 Config page,

What is interesting is that this problem occurs with all the 10.6.x macs. There is a Mac Pro that has been upgrade to 10.6; an iMac that has had a complete rebuild with 10.6; two iMacs that have been upgraded from 10.5.x and two new iMacs that came preinstalled with 10.6.2. None of these Macs can direct connect to the Fuji Xerox c2255. Only the 10.5.8 Mac can direct connect to the FX c2255 and can host (or share) the FX c2255 printer to the rest of the network.
One of the bizarra aspects is that the all the Macs can print text files, offices docs, web pages, etc, etc directly to the Fuji Xerox c2255 without any problem. BUT try to print a pdf file from preview or from Indesign and it resorts back to the status described earlier. Oddily enough, if I create a simple pdf in Indesign (circle, squares, a paragraph of text), I can print out the file using Indesign, directly to the printer. If I import one of the previously created documents, the printer reverts to the status described earlier. HOWEVER, if I take the same document and print via the Mac Pro 10.5.8 hosting/sharing the printer, the document will print without any problem. What the... ??!?!?!
I thought it might be a firmware problem but following the onsite service of the printer, I think I can rule that out.
Can you see anything that I might be missing ???
Thank you,

Printing via a Print Sever from MAC OSX 10.5.2

Hello all,
I recently purchased a powerbook, (i'm loving it!), and have got a D-Link wired print server that is connected into my network, (DP-301U).
I have a pc with xp pro and a laptop with Vista on -both of which i can print successfully from via the print server.
Regards the mac, no such luck and I'm at my wits end with this now!!! -the instructions that cam with the print server are confusing and of no help, and I've yet to find any conclusive answer on the internet.
When adding the printer in all the various ways I tried, the printer either says "printing" and nothing happens or it comes back with a "Communication Error", or when I try use the Generic Mac driver reams and reams of garbled writing are spewed forth from my printer!!!-arrgh!!
Can someone please provide the guidance I need to get printing from my MAC?, it's probably someone really silly that I'm missing?
Thanks and regards.
Lobby.

I still have a problem with the new Imac. I did the same installs and chose the foomatic printer from the list but still do not see the two sided option and the printer freezes during the spooling with say, 21% completed. Sometimes it is 21% other times 55%, but no printing begins. What might cause the spooling process to stop cold? Any ideas?
This sounds like a communications issue between the print server and the iMac. It would appear from your first post that you are using the LPD protocol to communicate with the print server.
Items to check:
1. If used the same printer queue when you installed the new drivers, you should quit open applications and restart them. The applications will not pick up the new driver until they are restarted.
2. Double check all the configuration settings on the new iMac. Make sure they match the printer settings that you use on the other Macs. Are the printer address and queue name the same?
3. Look at the Firewall settings. Open the Security preference pane in System Preferences. Click the Firewall tab. The radio button for "Allow all incoming connections" (not recommended) or "Set access for specific services and applications" (recommended) must be selected. If the radio button for "Allow only essential services" is selected, outgoing signals to the print server are being blocked.

HP 4500 won't print from my Dell Inspirion Laptop

My new HP 4500 wireless all in one printer won't print from my Dell Laptop running Vista Home Premium. It did for awhile but
only if I left the printer on. The IP address kept changing for some reason. Now, it will not print from my Dell laptop at all. It will
print from desktop computer running XP but it is connected via a USB cable. This printer is definitely not "plug and play". Anyone
have any ideas how I can get it to work with my laptop? I bought this wireless printer for that reason only.
Best Regards,
Mike

It looks like the printer is not on your network properly. The clue is that the printer's IP address is 169.254.x.y.
You are running a ADSL connection, right? Who is your ISP?
Turn off the printer and your computers and finally turn off the Netgear router. Unplug the telephone line (this is important) from the Netgear, wait 30 seconds and turn on the Netgear. Wait another 60 seconds and turn on the printer.
What is the IP address of the printer now? If it starts with 169.254.x.y, then the printer is not properly on the network. If you got a different IP address (one that starts with 192.168.x.z or starts with 10.x.y.z), turn on one of your Macs (but leave the telephone line disconnected).
Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address. Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11). Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address plus an offset. For example, if the printer's IP address is currently 192.168.0.5, then use 192.168.0.30.
For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank. This is important.
Select Manual DNS Server:
Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty. This is important.
Press Apply.
Turn off the Netgear wireless-router and reconnect the telephone line. Now turn off the printer and all computers connected to your network. Wait 60 seconds then turn on the wireless-router and then turn on the printer. Then turn on the computers.
Finish up by installing the SW on the Macs. Since you're running Snow Leopard, simply go to the Print & Fax System Preference and press [+] to add the printer.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,
