Printing to Shared PC Printer - Primer?
I have read many of the useful threads about configuring a Mac to be able print to a Windows shared printer. However, I was wondering if any of you experts out there can point me to (or provide) a summary or tutorial that describes the relationships of the various pieces (e.g. Samba, CUPS, ...) that seem to be necessary to make this work for a non PS printer? I think this would help me debug problems I encounter.
E.g. I am having trouble making this work for an Epson Photo printer. I follow the numerous technical notes to set up Windows printer sharing, add the printer on the Mac, but I do not see the authentication screen (userid and password)? When I try to print, I get the message, "Unable to connect to Samba host". I don't know if this is an authentication problem or a driver problem.
thanks
That particular error is a Windows or Mac setup problem. Is it possible you have a third-party firewall on the PC?
For troubleshooting, I suggest you open a Terminal and type this:
smbclient -NL {put IP of PC here}
This is a "no login" query of what shares are available on the PC.
To read some CUPS docs about Samba, use a browser and go to
http://localhost:631/

Problem outputting to the screen using FileDescriptor.out
I have the following program that reads prime numbers from a binary file. The issue is that the numbers are not printing to the screen using
FormatWriter out = new FormatWriter(
new BufferedWriter(
new FileWriter(FileDescriptor.out)));The numbers are being read from the file as if I unblock the line
// System.out.println(primes[j]); the numbers are printed to the screen.
I have pasted the code below and the code that creates the prime numbers file.
Thanks for any help.
package readprimes;
import java.io.*;
public class ReadPrimes {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File myPrimes;
DataInputStream primesIn;

// catch(EOFException e){
// EOF = true;

out.print(primes[j]);
out.println();
out.close();

Class that creates the prime number file
package bufferedoutput;
import java.io.*;

public static void main(String[] args) {
long[] primes = new long[200];
primes[0] = 2;
primes[1] = 3;
int count = 2;
long number = 5;
outer:
for(; count < primes.length; number +=2L)
long limit = (long)Math.ceil(Math.sqrt((double)number));
for(int i = 1; i <count && primes<= limit; i++)
if(number%primes[i]==0)
continue outer;
primes[count++] = number;
try
String dirName = "c:\\JunkData";
String fileName = "Prime.bin";
File myPrimeDir = new File(dirName);
if(!myPrimeDir.exists())
myPrimeDir.mkdir();
else
if(!myPrimeDir.isDirectory())
System.err.println();
return;
File primesFile = new File(myPrimeDir, fileName);
primesFile.createNewFile();
DataOutputStream primesStream = new DataOutputStream(
new BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(primesFile)));
for(int i = 0; i <primes.length;i++)
primesStream.writeLong(primes[i]);
primesStream.close();
catch(IOException e){
System.out.println("IOExcetoptj");Indeed. It isn't obvious to me what the result of new FileWriter(FileDescriptor.out) would result in, but your test appears to show that it doesn't result in something which can be used to output to the console.

Big-OH and Big-Omega question?
I am looking for some inputs regarding Big-OH and Big_Omega of a method that I wrote. This method implements queue data structure and its purpose is to find primes of a number using Sieve of Eratosthenes. I am thinking it is a Big-Oh of N^2 (upper bound), since it is a nested while loop, but I am not sure of the lower bound, which Big_Omega. Any comments guys? Thanks
public static void printAllPrimes(int max)
LinkedQueue qNum = new LinkedQueue(); //list of numbers
LinkedQueue qPrime = new LinkedQueue(); //list of primes
LinkedQueue qTemp = new LinkedQueue(); //temporary list of numbers
Integer object = new Integer(0); //prime number
Integer temp; //temp holder for comparison
//copy all numbers to qNum beginning with 2.
for(int i = 2; i<=max; i++)
Integer num = new Integer(i);
qNum.enqueue(num);
//checking for multiples of next prime until qNUm is empty
do
//remove next prime from qNum and store it to qPrime
object = (Integer)(qNum.dequeue());
qPrime.enqueue(object);
//check for multiples of a next prime value

How to write this code ?
Please Help me!
Thank you so muchhh ?????Looks like The Sieve of Eratosthenes.
A google search for that should help you with some logic.
Wikipedia has a really nice animation of how it works.
Post back when you have some source code that you need help with.
Thanks k???? lullzz??? -
Why it is wrong when the number is 121
This are the codes to show it is a prime number or not.i don't know if i enter 121,it get wrong result.
//Java core packages
import java.awt.*;
//Java extension packages
import javax.swing.*;
public class P3 extends JApplet {
//initialize the mod result
int result = 0, //result after mod
ponumber, //number to loop
input; //the number to be mod
//initialize applet by obtaining valuse from user
public void init()
String number;
//get number
number = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( " Please enter number to confirm " );
//convert it to integer
input = Integer.parseInt( number );
}//end first method
//draw the result
public void paint( Graphics g )
for ( ponumber = input -1;ponumber >= 2;ponumber--) //begin loop
result = input % ponumber;
//if the number is 2,its result also 0,but 2 is a prime number
//so the input number should out of 2
if (( result == 0 )&&( input > 2))
g.drawString( " Number " + input + " is not a prime number ", 25, 25 );
else
g.drawString( " Number " + input + " is a prime number ", 25,25 );
}//end second method
} //end P3 classIt seems to me that your answer will always be that it is a prime number.
try somthing like this:
boolean prime = true;
for(ponumber = input-1;ponumber >=2;ponumber--)
if(input%ponumber!=0) prime = false;
if(prime)
//print prime
else:
//print not primeI haven't tested this, no time now, but there is a little difference between what I have and what you have. Try to see what that is and see if this works for you. I'll check back later. -

Mixed Mac & PC PCs no longer showing up in "shared"cant add windows printer
Hi all,
I have noticed that none of the PCs on my network at work are showing up in finder under the 'shared' section, hasnt really been a big deal, i have shortcuts to all the network folders/printers i need to access (main printer is shared from a XP machine)
but with the recent installation of an SSD drive i thought rather then clone old stuff id start fresh
installed 10.6.5 on my late 2009 Macbook, no worries
have done all the updates.
went to print, oh thats right i need to set it up.
it is not showing the printer in the 'windows' section of add printer.. Hmm i thought, thats odd, I booted off my old drive, yep, could still print but there is nothing listed if i try to add a new printer.
jump onto a windows 7 machine, yep, there is all the PC's and macs on the network.
jump onto the iMac based 10.6 server, Hmm IT cant see any PC's or shared printers either.
now if i goto the addresses manually they mount and i can access them, but unlike windows, i can only mount volumes, i cannot mount the networked system and then select 'add this printer'
I have looked around, from editing DNS settings, changing my samba.conf file etc, nothing works.
the odd thing is that when im at home, my laptop can see the NAS, networked PC's ect no problem, so its somthing here, not this mac, but on the network.
I run an IPcop based firewall for the sole purpose of cacheing microsoft and Apple updates (I run a computer repair shop , these updates are a killer on the 'ol download allowance)
i have restarted the modem, firewall, network hubs etc, still no joy.
it was probably just over a month ago i remember adding the front counter printer to this mac on its old HDD without issue, so something in the last month has gone kaplewie.
Any suggestions are welcome but unfortunatley the network structure is a bit too involved to disconnect all systems and plug into a basic hub :/ - this setup has been working for 3 years with very little issue
what gets me, while my MAcbook is fully up to date and may be the target of blame (failed update or somthing) the iMac server has not been updated for 9 months since we put 10.6 server on it, so it wasnt not an update that caused this.
is there some odd chance that a new PC on the network maybe causing some issue?
wow, long post.. sorry..
any help greatly appreciated!

Problem with HP Printer Sharing?
I have an HP laserjet 1022 printer that has always worked shared. It's connected to my iMac via usb, and I have always been able to print to it with printer sharing. A few weeks ago however, the print sharing with my macmini and macbook wasn't working. Usually I delete and then readd the printer, but it didn't work this time. Also, now it recognizes the printer, but its trying to use the wrong ?driver? It's trying to use Generic PostScript instead of the normal 1022 it used to use. After my macbook was stolen, I tried to set the printer sharing up with my new macbook pro. That didn't work either. I called HP, but they said there was nothing they could do because it isn't a network printer, it's just printer sharing, and therefore a mac thing. What do I do?
Hi there, I just wanted to let you know what has happened with my printer since.
I called hp, and they said that because the printer didn't have some sort of extended care plan, that they would charge me $45 or I could call Apple. They said specifically that it was Apple's problem (yeah right).
Talked to the most friendly techies ever, and they spent hours on the phone with me trying a bunch of different ideas. Apparently, from what we can figure out, hp simply stopped updating the drivers. When I did try to download the 1022 driver from the website again, it downloads, says its installing, but never actually functions and just disappears. So after everything, even trying the original install cd, we determined that we just can't get it to work.
One interesting thing though:
The printer is plugged into my imac, and I was trying to print to it (using printer sharing) from my macmini, macbook, or macbook pro. None worked.
But, if I plugged in the printer to any other one of those computers via usb and tried to print wirelessly from the imac, it worked perfectly!
Hope things work out for you! -
Printing from Windows 8 to a shared printer on a Windows 7 machine
WE have a a user that has a laser printer on A windows 7 machine that others in the office can access EXCEPT the one person on a Windows 8 machine. We have tried everything, but cannot get her to print to this printer. Says it cannot be found. What does
Windows 8 need to see a printer on a Win 7 workstation. She does have access to network printers and her own.
Thanks.We have the same kind of problem but a bit different.
Dell Printer (used for years shared on a network) was moved to our Windows 7 machine plugged in via USB. We only use a plain workgroup with no Domain as we also have Macs on the network.
I have Macs using shared printer, a Windows XP using the shared printer, and even Windows 7 under Parallels on the Macs using the shared printer no problem.
I had the lone Windows 8 laptop using the shared printer but then it just stopped working. So I deleted it and now when I try to add it is want credentials and none work. It will not connect to the shared printer on the Windows 7 machine.
I have Windows 7 (which also has a couple shared drives that do work) set for No Homegroup and No Password for sharing - pretty much open as we are behind a Cisco Firewall to the outside. No firewalls on the pcs.
Not sure where to go from here... -
Can't connect to shared printer on Windows 7 Pro x64
I have a print server on Windows 2008 Standard and I have drivers installed for both x86 and x64 archs. The ricoh printer seems to work fine on windows 7 pro x64 but the hp printer will not work correctly. It seems to download/install the drivers but when actually connecting to the printer it errors out.
It says cannot connect to printer.
I can add the printer manually if I use tcp/ip printing instead of connecting to the shared printer. I can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone else seen an error like this? I'm not really sure what is causing this issue.
Thanks!Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please also let us know the exact model of this HP printer.
If possible, please reproduce this issue on the Windows7 client and collect the relevant information for further research.
Step 1: Download Process Monitor
======================
1. Please download the Process Monitor at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
2. Extract the zip file to Desktop.
Step 2: Clean Boot
=============
Let's disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start", go to "Run", and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the System Configuration Utility.
2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
4. Click "OK" to restart your computer to Selective Startup environment.
5. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
6. Check whether or not the issue still appears in this environment.
Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.
Step 3: Collect the Information
=====================
1. Open Procmon.exe (Process Monitor).
2. Reproduce this issue.
3. After that, please click Capture in the tool bar (or directly press Ctrl+E) in Process Monitor.
4. Click Save, in the prompt window, selects “All Events”.
5. Click Browser Button (The button is right to “Path”), in the prompt window, click Desktop, type “test” (without the quotation marks) in the File Name box and press Enter.
6. Find the file, right-click on this file, click "Send To", and click "Compressed (zipped) Folder".

Can't find printer shared on Windows machine
I don't know how to connect my MacBook Pro to a printer shared by a Windows machine on my network. I have the Windows path to the printer but I don't know how to get Leopard to see the printer. (I tried the Windows tab in the Print and Fax control panel.) Can someone please tell me what is going on?
Okay, some things you need to confirm for me.
What is the workgroup name of the computer sharing the printer?
What is the ip address and subnet mask of the computer sharing the printer?
What is your Mac's ip address and subnet mask?
If your Mac and the PC have the same subnet (usually the first three numbers of the ip address) and the workgroup name is the same, then you should be able to see the share. If not, there is a manual method of connecting to a Windows share.
What you need to do is customise the add printer browser. After selecting to add a printer, control-click next to the More Printers icon to see a menu. Choose Customize Toolbar. Move the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Now click the Advanced icon to see a new menu. Change the top menu to Windows Printing. In the field after smb://, you can enter the computer name or ip address of the sharing computer, followed by a / then the printer share name. For example,
smb://192.168.40.12/Canon
Note that sometimes you have to also use account information in the queue name, especially when the guest account is disabled. In these cases, the queue name would be entered as follows;
smb://username:password@computer_name/printer_sharename
Once you enter the queue name you can then select the printer model. For some models of printers, you cannot use the driver supplied by the vendor. So you have to look at using CUPS based drivers such as those provided by Gutenprint.

Shared printer from a pc does not show up on my printer list.
I have a macbook air and the shared printer from a pc does not show up on my printer list. I know it's available on the network as I have a another pc that has access to it. The Mac did find it at one time but it has since disappeared. Appreciate help.
RichCan you see the CD ripped songs in iTunes itself? Can you then right-click and select "Show in Windows Explorer"?

For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.
The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem? -
Best Practises for File Sharing and Print Server on Windows Server 2012
Is it better to have File Sharing and Print Server installed on the same Windows 2012 Server ?
Or, they should be installed on 2 different Windows Servers ?
Hussien SheriefIt will work just fine to combine them.
But most people would recommend keeping functionality separate... if the budget allows. That whole "single point of failure" concept. If that server dies, you've lost both of those functions.
