Printing to Remote Printer in another state

Not sure I am in the right section of this discussion board, but can I print to remote printer via the internet? Instead of faxing or emailing, can I send a document to a printer through the web but without additional software, will Leopard let me do it?

Only if the remote printer is accessible over the Internet, and the remote site provides you with the information needed to access it. Otherwise, you'd be better off emailing the document to the remote site and let them print it directly.

CUPS: Printing to remote printer

Hi,
I need help with setting printer using CUPS.
I have laser printer (that supports only PCL) connected to one of LAN computers.
This computer has Fedora Core 5 Linux with CUPS.
Linux and Windows computers are printing to that printer without any problems.
I would like print to that printer from Solaris 10 computer that has CUPS.
I have access to remote printer using:
http://localhost:631/admin
and can watch it's jobs and print test pages.
I downloaded suitable PPD file for the printer and put it to:
/opt/sfw/cups/share/cups/model
and executed command:
/opt/sfw/cups/sbin/lpadmin -p le232 -E -v ipp://10.0.0.201:631/printers/e232 -m Lexmark-Optra_E-hpijs.ppd
Now I see this printer on:
http://localhost:631/printers
After I tryed to print a test page, printer status changed:
Description: le232
Location:
Printer State: stopped, accepting jobs.
"Print file was not accepted (client-error-bad-request)!"
Device URI: http://10.0.0.201:631/printers/e232
Whats wrong?
What should I do to solve this problem?
Thank you.

I found solution on: www.lengers.com/?p=12
That works.
But now I have a new problem: instead page what I sent, it prints some junk text (it's probably PostScript).
I added printer using lpadmin command and use it with lp command.
maybe should I use lpr command?
I user the same *ppd file as on Fedora Core 5 print server and there it prints correctly.
Do I need some kind of convertor or filter (my printer understands only PCL)?
Thank you.

Can't print to remote printer

I currently have a printer connected to my desktop as server. I use this with other computers on the local network with lprng on all. On the clients I have a simple printcap pointing to the printer on the desktop.
I'm currently running Arch on a laptop connected to the lan (and am much impressed apart from the printing question).
I tried to compile lprng from AUR but it failed. (Comments indicate problems with this.)
So I installed libcups as suggested by the Arch wiki and configured /etc/cups/client.conf to point to the desktop (arcadia). This should be enough to be able to print, if I've understood right. But nothing prints.
I wasn't clear how to print things with this arrangement since there is no lpr. I I tried with a2ps on a file but nothing was printed.
Question 1: is it essential to have CUPS on the remote machine? I don't like CUPS, but if I must use it ...
Question 2: how are you supposed to print a plain file with this arrangment, since there is no lpr? I seem to be missing some piece of information here.

What language does the printer speak? You don't need cups installed.
If it's a postscript printer, save your document as a .ps file, which most linux editors and office suites will do, then cat it to the printer. You need ghostscript. You'll need to be root.
# cat /path/file.ps > /dev/usb/lp1
If it's a PCl printer then you'll need to convert the .ps to PCL first.
#! /bin/sh
# Takes a postscript filen and convert it to PCL
# Output is suitable for an hp laserjet printer that does NOT have
# the extra postscript option installed
# You MIGHT want to tweak this between "laserjet" or "ljet4" or whatever
# Specify Ghostscript device.
DEVICE=laserjet
# Ouput file name
OUTFILE=output.pcl
GS='gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE '
GS="$GS -sDEVICE=$DEVICE"
echo "Usage:"
echo " ps2pcl file.ps"
echo " ps2pcl file.ps -o output.pcl file.ps"
echo ""
echo "Will convert PS to PCL and dump to output.ps"
echo "or the specified output file"
echo ""
while getopts "o:h" flag ; do
case $flag in
o)
OUTFILE=$OPTARG
h|*)
usage
exit 1
esac
done
shift $(($OPTIND - 1))
INFILE="$1"
if [[ "$INFILE" == "" ]] ; then
INFILE=-
fi
$GS -sOutputFile=$OUTFILE $INFILE -c quit
If it's a win printer then throw it away. No, you'll need cups and support for the printer. Use your own device nodes. That device=laserjet just worked ok with a Brother printer. If you want to can add to that script and send the .pcl file to the printer after the conversion.

Printing to Remote Printer via Internet

I travel a lot and would like to print to my office while on the road. I know I can email, but I also would like to have this capability if it's possible. Is there a way to set up the two computers to achieve this? If so how would I do it? Any help would be appreciated.

(Need more details to give better instructions. what printer - is it connected to a computer?)
You will have to enable port forwarding through the office router's firewall. This involves telling the router to send requests for a specific port to a specific local IP address. (and could be a security risk) Since most routers get their internet IP address by DHCP (it can change at any time), you'll probably need to subscribe to a service that keeps track of that, called dynDNS.org, so you can always use a (stable) domain name instead of IP address to print.
Does it sound like what you want to do?

Aio remote print app challenge

I am unable to use the Aio remote print app with either of hp printers which are e-print enabled to get the app to allow me to print more than 10 copies at a time and make the copies double sided.
Would someone please help?
Thank you,
Naeco

Hi Naeco,
Welcome to the HP Support forums.   I understand that you have encountered a difficultly when using the HP AiO Printer Remote app.
To better assist you would you please provide some clarifying information:
1)       What make/model/product numbers of HP printers do you have? Guide to finding your product number
2)      Are you trying to print 10 copies of a double-sided document that is stored on the device? Or are you trying to make 10 copies of a document that is on the printer?
3)      What is the size of the document that you are trying to print? I’m wondering if the size of the file might be the issue.
Thank you.

Remote printer is recognized but message says can't find printer? It worked great before installing OSX Maverick

Remote printer is recognized but message says can't find printer? It worked great before installing OSX Maverick?

Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately I have already rebooted the router and that did not fix the problem. The weird thing is that the computer is connected to the network, it just won't connect to my computer. I have printed the network configuration page to confirm this, and it says the wireless signal is strong.
I have not changed anything at all recently in terms of routers, networks, etc. The printer stopped working completely randomly.
Is there a part in the printer that like emits a signal which computers, phones, etc are supposed to detect? I don't know enough about the mechanics to really theorize about what is wrong, but it seems like that is the only thing that stopped working.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Remote Printing on 2012 from Mac

Hi all,
I'm having an issue trying to setup remote printing from a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 using the 'Remote Desktop Connection' app and connecting to my Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services server I have configured.
The Mac is sitting on a completely different domain and network to the Remote Desktop Services server. I have turned on the 'Use a printer that is connected to this Mac' function within the Mac's Remote Desktop Connection application preferences however I cant
see the printer on the Remote Server.
I've made a few changes to Local and Group Policies to try get it working and had no success but perhaps I am not configuring these Policies correctly.
Is anyone familiar with setting this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've manged to get the printer to actually print however regardless of what I print from the RDS server the printer only printers out,
%%EndDocument

HP Remote Print Drivers

Hello,
Just to give you some background, I have a HP PhotoSmart 6180 multifunction inkjet machine. The printer has been wirelessly attached to my home network for about two years now (Linksys WRT54G). All print functions work (printing to photo tray, using the document feeder, accessing the scanner, printing via bluetooth dongle, etc) when I am home on the network. I even have on my Windows Mobile phone an application called HP iPhoto which allows me to wirelessly print to the photo tray. You see, there are no problems on this end.
Here is my problem: Using my Windows-based PC, I have the ability to print to it remotely via the internet. I use the HP Remote Printing, v 2.323.0.0 driver and Instant Share through HP's site. I can also print remotely using any program that has a print function, i.e... Internet Explorer, MS Word, Adobe PDF, HP Solution Center, etc.). However, I cannot choose the photo paper tray. I am only able to change the size of the print job, for instance: 4x6, 8 1/2X11, Hagaki. In the HP Remote Printing Preferences, only two tabs are available: Paper/Quality and Basic. In the Remote Printing Properties, the Device Settings tab (which is one of the tabs available when I look at the properties of the actual printer) is not available. This is where I would add the available trays. I believe it has to do with the driver version.
It would help me tremendously if I can have the ability to choose the photo paper tray when printing remotely. Most of the items that I send to my printer are photos. I've tried and tried to get help from HP, but to no avail (my printer is out of warranty, not applicable for free support, etc.). Please help. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi again.
You're quite correct, it is CUPS (Common UNIX Printer System).
Is http://www.linuxprinting.org/database.html what you were looking for?
There are many '1100' HP printers listed.
OSX also installs Gimp print drivers, I'm a total ignoramus as to how you set them up though, sorry.

Printing Exception when print to printer on a remote location

Hi, I have a weird printing problem for a report created from report designer and printed from a JSP page created using CR4E. Any help or suggestions are very appreciated.From CR4E and uses Tomcat 5.0, I'm opening a report created from report designer, and print the report to a specific printer using getPrinterController().setPrinterName(...). We have printers in several facilities on the same network. Printing to network printers in one location works perfect. But printing to a network printer (in the same network) in another facility generates PrinterException. I added those printers to the server and it prints ok from other applicaitons like IE so it probably have access and can connect. I tried to print the jsp page code from Eclipse and it enters the queue but hangs, the print job cannot finish. I'm cluelss now and don't know where to start to troubleshoot. Thanks in advance. Celia

Hi Thierry,
Thanks for your response.
I know it sounds like a java printing problem, butÂ I'mÂ wondering if Crystal Report's JRC need any setup before I call setPrinterName when the printer is located under a different IP gateway.
The weirdest of all is after I tried to print from Eclipse, although not suceed, printing the crsytal report to that printer suddenly works.
Is there anything I need to initialize or initiate in order to print the crystal report on a remote printer, and that Eclipse just happened to do that for us?
Thanks,
Celia

How to print from internet to remote printer?

The wife recently has a need to print from corporate LAN to a remote HP Laser @ our house. Mainly to save time. She wants to be able to run her reports at the end of the day from the corp LAN connection and spool it to a HP Laser at the house. This will get her out of work @ least 30 minutes early everyday. She can then review the report when she gets home. Is this possible? Home network is a OS X with AEBS connected via USB port on AEBS. Wife's laptop is a WIN XP. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The latest printers provide remote printing by the HP ePrint feature,
If your printer is the HP Officejet Pro 8500 (A909) as i can figure from your description, the ePrint feature unfortunately not supported by your printer.

HP 1300 wont print from Remote Desktop applications

I have an HP 1300n attached via USB to a windows 7 computer. I log onto a clien'ts windows 2003 server using remote desktop application. I have installed the driver to HP 1300 PCL 5 on the remote server and of course it's installed on the windows 7 machine. I can see the HP via port TSXxx on the remote server but when printing, nothing happens. The document is sent to the "printer" but doesnt print in my office. I've tried many solutions and nothing so far works. I have 3 other windows 7 computers and 3 others HP 1300 and all are experiencing the same thing.

Printing to a Printer Connected to TIme Machine when using Remote Desktop

Hi,
I am having trouble printing to a printer connected to our wireless network via Time Capsule when I am on my remote desktop connection. Printing from all other programs work. I downloaded Bonjour on our Windows based server, and it did not detect any printers. When I am connected directly to the printer, I can print when using remote desktop. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks!
Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Airport Extreme/Express do emulate Jetdirect/port 9100 printing, but that isn't what they use for printing from OS X. OS X and the Bonjour/airport software use USB port redirection, a unique and separate method.
If the HP driver supports any protocol over ethernet, it would be appletalk. Does that router server use appletalk?
