Printing to a LaserJet 4M via network. All aps work but can't from internet i.e. UPS

It seems to have started when I upgraded to OS 10.6 from 10.4.11 now running 10.6.7. The printer prints from all applications i.e. Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc. but when I try to ship from UPS or USPS I get an error that the printer is busy. Has anyone else seen this? But I can print the labels from my DeskJet L4700 at home but I need to be able to do this in the office.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated,
Cheers,
Jeff

Pahu,
Thanks for the reply. We are a 1-1/2 person office so our network is quite small. I saw a postin on the "More Like This" board and followed it and found and answer that works. I guess in OS10.6 Apple dropped the drivers for these older printers from the GPP. Being such a small office our network doesn't have proxies, etc.
I wanted to thank you for your help, it was much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeff

Printing to CP1525nw via wireless connection crashes AutoCAD 2009 on a WIndows 7 Home OS + Sony VAIO VPCL21M1E

The attachment bar at the bottom of incoming emails has no ''paperclip'' to select and open attached documents

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent

New PC laptop - can get on Airport Network but can't access internet

Just got a new HP laptop for real estate reasons (MLS is only available through a PC).
All of my other computers are Macs and my wireless network is on a Airport Basestation.
I can access the network with the PC but can't get on the internet even though I'm on the network.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, you have a completely different situation than that of the Originator of this post. In your case, you're using your Mac as a software base station and not a wireless router.
The following would be the setup steps...
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
Enable Software Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac > (wireless) > PC
Setup Port Order
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection
System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
- To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- AirPort Options
-- Network Name: <anything you want>
-- Channel: Automatic
-- Enable encryption (using WEP) (optional)
-- Password: (optional)
-- Confirm Password: (optional)
-- WEP Key Length: (optional)
-- Click OK
- Click Start

I installed windows 7 on my macbook pro. all is working but lan adaptor and sound od laptop is not working. please help me or send the link where i can download the these drivers.I have lost my resource cd .

If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.
Read the Bootcamp Install Guide for your version of OSx. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Bootcamp questions should be asked in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Hi Rachel,
Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

Hi - I created a form in Adobe Livecycle and have a button on it to send the form via email. It worked, but only for those with PC.

LiveCycle = XFA forms.
afaik - These cannot be used in Apple OSs.
Be well...

I have all the documents, but can't locate my discs - need iphoto and can't get without the original.

I have all the documents, but can't locate my discs - need iphoto and can't get without the original.

If you buy used you have to be careful. I am not sure what software came with which system versions and which computers but the iLife application history is complex. If you end up looking for "original" discs such as those that came with your computer, make sure iPhoto was part of it, and make sure the discs you buy are really identical to the ones for your computer model. A lot of people sell gray colored discs as installer discs, but the versions are machine specific so getting any old Tiger installer may not work on your computer. Unfortunately the universal Tiger installer may not have iPhoto. Maybe somebody more familiar with the iPhoto history can provide specific advice.
An alternative is to look for a used iLife series that will work on your computer. Again, this will have to be used. Apple's staying ahead of the curve basically means those of us with old machines are left to fend for ourselves as best we can.

Hi sambanyc,
What version of Adobe Reader have you installed on your Mac?
Please try installing on a different Admin user account and check if that makes a difference.

Print to HP LaserJet 4mp via ethernet on Snow Leopard

Well, after tons of research I have ended up printing thru my OLD mac via shared printer on the network. But I would hope there is a better way. I have a Mac Pro, 10.6.3 connected to a HP LaserJet 4MP via ethernet router via RJ45 cables, works great on ALL my other equipment, even the PC but refuses to show up in Snow Leopard. I tried the standard stuff like giving it an IP address that would match my current network settings, no luck, tried Asante, no luck. I realize it's hard to support a decade old printer but what's all the GREEN CRAP about if I have to keep throwing away equipment that still works, and beautifully. Had to ditch my quad PPC unit because of adobe. Now I can't print. HP was no help, apple support is WAY too expensive since I bought my machine used and they won't sell me an apple care agreement. Anybody have any more suggestions? MIO must stand for missing instant output. ANY suggestions would be appreciated as I've tried all the ones in the discussion forums so far.

Since the 4MP is a PostScript printer, there should be any number of print servers that work with it. It might even work with your router. But it is not going to just "show up" on your computer like it did with AppleTalk. You will need to provide the computer with all the information it needs for an IP connection.
You can get help with that here, but you need to provide information, like the model of the router.

Has anyone fixed wireless printing to HP LaserJet 1015 via AEBS Snow

Dear All
I've searched the forums, read numerous posts by HP Mac Architect (thanks BTW for your amazing efforts), tried various things, and still can't get wireless printing back on my HP LaserJet 1015.
My set up is:
Intel Core Duo 20" iMac, 10.6.1, running latest version 2.2 HP drivers (383Mb download)
Airport Extreme Base Station Snow, running firmware 5.7
HP LaserJet 1015 connected to the USB port of AEBS
Worked in 10.5.8. Absolutely nothing in 10.6.1 - not an initial page, nothing after resets or restarts, nothing. It has also scuppered wireless printing to the 1015 from another iMac on the network running Leopard 10.5.8.
I have tried the following:
1) Usual stuff - restart AEBS, restart computer, switch off printer, unplug AEBS 30 seconds, reconnect printer
2) Deleting all HP stuff from Library/Printers, Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/Resources, System/Library/Extensions, restarting, reinstalling HP drivers version 2.2, re-adding printer
3) Add the printer via Bonjour, using plain driver, Gutenprint driver
4) Add the printer via IP printing, HP JetDirect - Socket, using address of base station +/- the port, using either plain driver or Gutenprint driver
5) Tried the ipstat stuff in the terminal to get CUPS to accept the URI
6) Tried downgrading firmware of AEBS to 5.6 then 30s off, then back to 5.7, 30s off, then re-add the printer
The error messages I get:
Initially 'communication failure'
Then 'client-error-not-possible' from the other iMac
Now mainly 'unable to open device (read failure)'
I have yet to try the HPIJS drivers but before I do so has anyone else had any success or tried any other things I've not mentioned?
Do I need to wait till 10.6.2 or buy a new N base station or buy a new printer or what?
Thanks in advance

mwong,
At the moment, there is no way I know of to get the LaserJet 1015 printing through the USB port any Airport base station that isn't running a firmware version of 7.4.2 (ie an 802.11N compatible Airport). Some people have had some luck on newer G's running 6.3, but I haven't seen anyone report success with 5.7 yet. At the moment, there is nothing we can do from our end to fix the issue.
Just trying to help.
Andrew

Printing to HP Laserjet 2100 via Time Capsule very very slow

If I connect the above printer directly to my Macbook (OS 10.5.2) it prints fine, at reasonable speed and quality.
Connected via the Time Capsule a half-page text document takes about 4-5 minutes to print.
I have updated the printer driver from this link http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs - the driver name is HP Laserjet Foomatic/hpijs
Using the standard 2100 Kaserjet driver offered by the operating system didn't work at all.
The printer is connect via USB using a USB to Parallel converter cable which again works fine when connected to my Mac directly (and to my PC).
I have restarted the Time Capsule.
What else can I try?
Richard
