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 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

  • Test print works but can't print from programs

    I have installed an Officejet 6500A. Install went as expected and drivers were loaded ok. I can print a test  page and the maintenance utilites will print fine but it will not print from any of the Windows programs. I am connected via USB. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    So if I understand you correctly, the switch works with everything on the wired network (including the MacBook Pro). You can't see the wired network when connecting wirelessly on the MacBook Pro.
    So you must have the switch attached to the airport extreme ethernet port. All of your other computers are attached to the switch.
    Try to use the UNIX command ping in terminal.
    Example :
    Start terminal
    ping 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
    where 10.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip of a computer on your network
    This will tell you if the computer on the network is visible.

  • Networks seen by airport, but can not connect to internet

    Hello,
    This is for a powerbook G4 running 10.5.8 that previously connected to our time capsule without issues. Recently, it stopped connecting to the internet although our two macbooks, phones, etc. have no problem.
    It can see our network and also an open network and will "connect" with full signal strength but will not connect ot the internet. When running diagnostics it will come up with 'network change detected' and then will go through turn off modem and router and will then continue in a loop with turning off modem or router and not let me past the "network settings (yellow tab in front of network settings)" portion of network diagnostics. I've tried setting up a network and this did not work. I have also tried connecting to the time capsule which was not recognized either. I like the powerbook for traveling and since the ethernet source was fried years ago, it is pretty much useless without the airport functioning.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Once I had a very similar problem and took it to the Apple Store. I'm not entirely certain what they did, but I believe it was to remove some corrupted .plists. Maybe someone here would know which ones would be the relevant ones to look at.
    In the meantime, you might consider one of these as a workaround:

    It's not the most elegant solution, but I have a couple of these and they seem to be very reliable, and cheap enough at the sale price.
    Good luck!

  • Can see, but can't print to network printer in Panther Server

    I'm running Panther Server 10.3.9 in a vLAN with 16 OS 9 clients. They all
    print to 2 Xerox Phaser 6200 and 6250 network printers. I am unable to print
    to either one from a G4 running Server 10.3.9. I have limited desk space so a USB-attached printer, while
    more convenient, is impractical. When I run Classic from the Server, I can print to the Phasers.
    *> that means that OS X is seeing the printers. When you print in Classic, what*
    *> happens is that the Classic drivers (LaserWriter 8) hands off the print jobs*
    *> to the appropriate OS X drivers, which do the actual printing.*
    Although I'm using OS X Server, I don't have Print Services turned on. I never could get the OS 9 clients to print the way I wanted and I didn't want to have a single point of failure for 16 clients if the Fileserver (Panther Server) went down. So they print to the Phaser themselves using, as you said, Laserwriter 8.
    I can connect to administer them both with a browser.
    *> this definitely means that you can see the printers.*
    Yes. Everytime. I can reset them and anything else I want to do administering them with a browser (Safari).
    I have all the drivers I should need (new re-installs), but print jobs stop every time.
    *> Does this mean that the drivers are installed and are visible in Print & Fax?*
    Yes. I have both a 6200 and a 6250. Both drivers are visible.
    Is there a log file or some way I can see why these jobs fail?]
    *> There are logs, some of which are visible in CUPS using the browser.*
    >
    *> What error messages are you getting?*
    What is CUPS? I've heard of it, but don't know what it is or does. I think when I had ServerAdmin running a lot, there were CUPS files that were taking up hard drive space and I had to periodically delete them in Terminal.
    I'm not getting ANY error messages. It's like the print job just evaporates before it gets to the printer. There are never print jobs showing in the list under the Print Queue.
    FWIW, I can see the Phaser 6250 (but not the 6200) under Rendezvous printers.
    I've tried AppleTalk, IP printing, and Rendezvous. I can always see the printer, but can never print.
    AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
    Do you have any pearls of wisdom?
    Thanks

    I was having the same problem, and basically it comes down to Epson not having driver support for networking. The solution, install better drivers!
    Go to: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php and download the latest version of the drivers. Once you've installed them go to Print & Fax in System Preferences, delete the last print setup (the little minus sign), add the new one but importantly from the driver menu select the Gutenprint driver. That should solve the problem, certainly worked for me!

  • I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5.  Can this be overcome?

    I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5.  I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

    You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

    Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025.  So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3).  When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr.  I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports.  This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

  • All my pdf files can be printed in low quality on my Brother printer but can't print in high quality in the printer menu.

    My problem is that all my pdf files can be printed when I choose "low quality printing" in my Brother printer menu but cannot be printed in "high quality". When trying to print in high quality, the documents load in the printer tray and it says 1 document then disappears and 0 document printing is showing. I have some pdf files that I want to print in color in high quality and black and white but I'm unable to do so. It only prints in low quality for both color and black and white.

  • Can access Apple TV via airplay, but can't get to internet or iMac from Apple TV

    Can access Apple TV via airplay, but can't get to internet or iMac from Apple TV. Whenever I try to put my info in it says to try later. When I test network it says network time has not been set. It has worked previously.

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.
    If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

  • New Ink Cartridge but can not print out/copy any document.

    I have HP Printer Deskjet 1050. I've just bought 1 x Original HP Ink Cartridge Colour Black No.61 that can be used as well for my HP Deskjet 1050 (because I could't get No.802 Black Cartridge). I have pulled out the empty one and pushed the new one in until I heard snap sound (I've followed as what is in the instruction poster). Before my old Ink was empty, I was able to print either black or colour. Now, after I've got new one pushed in, I couldn't print nothing, even the alignment page doesn't automatically print out after all cartridges are pushed in and cartridge door was closed. My Black Ink warning light is blinking all the time. I can scan to my computer/laptop but can not print it out or make copy from the printer. This printer is not compatible for my laptop with OS Windows 8.1 (64-bit), but I was able to use my printer for printing thru my laptop by using HP AiO Printer Remote. Please help?

  • My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

    My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

    Welcome to the support community group.
    First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
    Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
    First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop.  Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back  for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power.  Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
    Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop.  Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility.  Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
    Check back if you're still having problems.
