Printing to network printer and pdf

Hi,
At my office I have a Canon, Oki and HP printer's to connect to the network, how I can configured the iPad to use does printer's ? I need to add app to my iPad ? What is the best app for that ? And I need to print/convert web pages ... to PDF too.
Thanks,
JProveta

JProveta-
Apps on the iPad that can print to network printers have their own mail, text, photo and web browser. Therefore they do not enable printing from the iPad's other Apps. The only solution I know of is to run a program on a nearby computer that shares a network printer over WiFi as an AirPrint printer. Printopia is one example for a Macintosh computer.
What you really want is for the iPad to work like a laptop computer, which it is not. Something like the small MacBook Air or a "netbook" computer may be better for your use.

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning. You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Printing Differences btwn IDCS2 and PDF

IDCS2 and Acrobat 7.0 Professional - Vista Home Premium.
I am working on a book, with planned dimensions of 6 x 9. The text block is 4.5 x 7, with a 1/2 inch inner and a 1 inch outer margin. I save all files as both Indesign and as a pdf.
When I check the output of a given file, the Indesign file is faithfully followng the preset. However, I've noticed that sometimes the PDF text block is only 4.25 x 6 5/8. There doesn't seem to be any obvious pattern to the deviations, because other sections of the book print PDFs that do follow the preset dimensions.
I've looked at the settings on the PDF print dialog but don't see anything amiss. The preset dimensions haven't changed.
I need to straighten this out before I can send the final output to the printers.
Where have I gone astray?
Thanks,
Ed Bebee

Bob:
I've set the print dialog to print out the margins and text box guides. That is what I'm measuring. This does not seem to bother ID CS2, but the same file prints about 1/4 inch less width for the text box and about 1/2 inch for the height of the text box when printed with Acrobat.
I'll check the scaling setting, but don't recall setting it. I assume that it should be "off" or "zero" or whatever means that it isn't set.

Problem printing photos in Pagemaker and PDF

I publish a newsletter that contains lots of photos. I do layout in Pagemaker. The last issue when I printed out the document to proof it all the photos printed in solid bright blue, even the black & white photos. The same when I converted to PDF. However the file is fine. I burned it on a disk to take to my printer and he had no trouble. Photos print fine in preview and in photoshop. Old Pagemaker documents are also fine, just anything new or anything I make a change to and then save. My non-Mac son seems to think it could be a corrupted printer driver, but I'm nervous to download a new one for fear I won't be able to print anything.

Not sure what's causing this, but you'll get more exposure of your question in the Tiger printing forum at http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=756
Suggest you repost there.

CUPS not printing to network printer.Printer visible to avahi and cups

Hey. Printing seemed to be working fine last time I checked (which, granted, was a while ago...I don't print that much). I have a networked Canon MG4100 class printer. Avahi sees the printer just fine, as does cups (I can add and modify the printer without any troubles). However when I try to print, it starts printing but then the Cups interface notifies me 'Unable to locate printer "canon.local".'
1. The printer works fine from a windows laptop
2. I reset the printer and the wireless router it's attached to
3. I restarted my laptop
4. Here are the /var/log/cups/error_log (debug level) logs
5. /etc/cups/cupd.conf

What the heck am I missing???
Thanks!
Scott

I'll look into that when I get a chance. I'm just using the Gutenprint drivers. They were working fine up until recently...I just don't know at what point because I rarely print! I'm a little leery of adding the printer with a static IP address, because it's not a static IP setup...I know it should stay the same for the most part, but I thought that's why we used Avahi...to get away from having to know the IP address!
Thanks for the input!

Acrobat XI: Printing to networked printer fails without error message

I'm using Windows 8 Professional.
When I use Acrobat XI Professional or Reader XI to print to a networked printer, Acrobat and Reader throw up the Progress dialog, showing the document is getting spooled. However, nothing appears in my printer's status window and nothing gets printed. There are no error messages.
When I use Windows 8 Pro's Reader app to print to the networked printer, it works just fine.
I thus have a workaround, so not all is lost.
However, how do I diagnose why only the Adobe applications on my computer can't use the networked printer?
-- Tim
Timothy J. McGowan

Thanks for the advice.
The problem is not solved. This is what i have tried.
Attempt 1.
Log-in as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
"Repair" Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installation.
Same failure as described earlier.
Attempt 2.
Log-in as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
Uninstall Acro XI Pro.
Run : acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_040612.zip
Log of "cleaner" shows deletion of very many, but ot all, Registry Acro-associated keys.
At end of uninstall and cleaner processes, re-start machine.
Log-in again as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
Disable Norton 360 and Webroot Secure Anywhere prior to Acro XI Pro installation.
Re-install Acro XI Pro (this time, for "Default" choice, as opposed to "Complete" in previous installs.)
Outcome: NO Adobe PDF printer. HOWEVER, both during the "Repair" and re-install processes, a message did flash: "Creating the Adobe PDF Printer".
Both Repair and re-install: The Adobe PDF printer is not listed under "Manufacturer" when "Add Printer" is executed (see image below).
Proceeding via "Have Disk", C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf, yields the failure to install the driver previously described, for all ten (10) instance of the Adobe PDF Converter options.
Thanks for any insights.

Reader 9.4.0 on Win7 x64 won't print to network printer

I have Adobe Reader 9.4.0 installed on Windows 7 x64 and I am trying to print to a network printer attached to a Windows 2008 x64 server. The printer is a Kyocera CS-4035 and has the most recenter driver available installed.
When I open a PDF and attempt to print, I get the "you need to install a printer" error. This same error occurs when I change the default printer to any of the HP or Kyocera printers we have available. We have one Konica Minolta printer that appears to work when it is the default.
As I said previously, I have already verified that we have the most current driver installed on the print server. Any suggestions?

SOLVED: Instead of using the most current driver for the specific printer, I switched to using the manufacturer's more current universal driver, and this solved the issue.

Evince print to network printer

I'm having a hard time with this and nothing's coming up. I have a printer I'm successfully connected to via CUPS, I can print fine in OpenOffice.
However, evince won't print. The "print" button is grayed out. I -need- to print PDFs and right now literally the only way is to borrow a windows machine and knock 'er out.
Help!

Unless you have a really abnormal printer/network configuration:
sudo mv /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.bak
sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
sudo /etc/rc.d/cups restart
I had the same problem today....there's a slightly different cupsd.conf format, I guess.
Good luck!
Scott
Edit:
You might also change the AuthType line under # All printer operations require a printer operator to authenticate...
to
AuthType none
so it doesn't ask you for a password or fail silently if the program isn't designed to prompt you for a password.

Problem printing to networked printer

I have a strange printing problem:
13" unibody MacBook running OS X 10.6.3
Dell dimension desktop PC running Win XP Home Edition (SP3)
Wireless LAN connecting the two computers above via Time Capsule wireless base station.
Canon Pixma MP540 printer connected to PC via USB.
Printer set up on PC as shared and visible to MacBook over wireless LAN.
Printing from PC to printer OK.
Printing from MacBook to printer places job in print queue on PC but status never changes from 'spooling' and print job never completes.
If I connect the printer directly to the MacBook via USB it prints with no problems. I can also then see the printer as a network printer from the PC and successfully print to it from there.
Can anyone suggest why the job never completes when the printer is attached to the PC?
Thanks, Ian

I'm having the exact same problem! It's so annoying

Pages will not print via network printer

I have purchased and installe Pages and Numbers and neither one will print to my network printer. I have been using my DeskJet 970 on my network without trouble.
I can print from other apps installed on my iPad via this same printer.
In support of printing I have purchased Print-N-Share as well as PrintCentral Pro. I have also install wePrint on my desktop.
When I open Pages and attempt to print I am asked to select a printer. The message that comes up is that no Airprint printers were found. It totally ignores my wePrint server app which connects Print-N-Share and PrintCentral Pro.
I have already requested a reinstatement to my account for $9.99 which Apple has thus far ignored.
Has anyone experience this or found a solution to this problem.

Hi All printers are different. I suggest you contact the printer manufacture. Do you have the installation disc that came with the printer?? Try installing the printer on all computers that do not work?? Also unplug the printer for 20 seconds. Some times I have to unplug my HP to get it to work wireless. It's kind a like rebooting your PC
Dokie!!

Basic tiger server printing to network printer issues - HELP :)

Hi everyone, Im after some help as im running out of ideas, here is my basic setup: (sorry i have rambled on a bit
current 192.168.0.x network that has ADSL, PC's HP Laserjet 5Si network printer.
Connected to that is my Tiger server with 2 lan ports, one is connected to that network and the other connected to a switch where I run all my macs - the server is a basic file and software update server.
macs connected to the server get a 192.168.2.x address and can access the internet and each other etc - all is happy.
now - I had my personal macbook pro connected directly to the first network to access the printer, works fine and fairly quickly but was unable to access the server (i imagine because the server thinks i was from the big bad internet from the .0.x range
once i connected to the other network served by the mac server i could access all the files fine but printing would not work, so i thought I would have the server access the printer as it has access to both networks and just share it to the local macs.
well when i add it and put in the 192.168.0.71 address it connects and loads the GIMP HP5si driver, but when it tried to print it takes up to 5 mins to show that its finished, but only sometimes does the printer actually fire up, and the times it did it never printed the whole page...
The only thing i can think of is that the server is trying to print to the .0.x address'ed printer but using the .2.x address range, possibly confusing the systems.., im not too familiar with all the firewall/NAT settings ,i think i have everything turned off, but its still not working..
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, im not sure what else to do.
Thank you for your time

This sounds more like a protocol or a driver issue rather than an addressing issue. Which protocol is being used to connect to the printer? You mention the GIMP driver gets loaded, which I read that it's an automatic function rather than you having to manually browse to the driver.
Also, I would look at trying the Gutenprint drivers from Sourceforge rather than the included GIMP-Print.
The other thing would be to check the cups error log on the server. It could give some clues as to why the spool file is taking so long.

Printing to network printer from OS 9.2 to OS 10.4

I have an HP Deskjet 810c connected to my Mac running OS 10.4 and want to print from my other Mac running OS 9.2. Both Macs have drivers installed.
The computers are networked via a Linksys cabled router.
I tried doing what Apples suggests in their 10.4 help area (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh660.html) but it still doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Ted

The link you gave is for printing from Classic programs on the same Mac. To print from another Mac running OS 9.2:
1) On the server (with printer attached) enable print sharing both in Sharing prefs and in Print & Fax prefs.
2) again on OS X (server), in Printer Setup highlight the Deskjet and click Show Info and find and write down the queue name. Also find the server IP address in Network Prefs and write it down.
3) On the OS 9 computer, find Apple Printer Utility (usually in Apple Extras) and start it. Create an LPR/LPD printer and enter the IP address and queue name where asked for.
4) Important - For printer model, choose an Apple Color LaserWriter xx as the PPD/model. This entire setup assumes a postscript printer. The good news is that OS X expects to receive postscript input and it translates that for the Deskjet.
PS, it is possible that the HP driver you installed on OS9 could work, in which case you don't need to follow the above postscript procedure. Instead, in Chooser on OS 9, select the appletalk driver for your deskjet and if the printer attached to the server shows up, select it (right side of Chooser) and it may then work. I haven't got an older deskjet to try, so I don't know if it'll work.

Can't print to network printer after application is built

All computers are Windows 2000, LabVIEW 5.1.1. While the application is run from Labview, printing to a network printer works fine(using the Easy Text Report.vi). The application was then made into an exe using the application builder. The development system was removed from the computer and network printing still works ok. When the exe is installed on a different computer (along with AccessHW and CVIRTE5.5) network printing does not work from the application. Other programs on this computer can do network printing.
It appears the development system has installed some files that are retained even after the development system is removed. What am I missing.

Did you create an installer and choose to include NI Reports Installer on the Advanced settings? NI Reports uses an ActiveX component that must be installed.
