Printing trough a printer attached to Windows

Hy,
I'd like to print trough a HP printer attached to a Windows Home SP2. When I go to system preferences he can see the network and the printer where it is attached to, but if I click on the network it asks me to "connect as" Guest or User, I've tried guest an User with the Username from the Pc (no password) and then tried with a password (changed it on the PC). To connect to SMB shares, I don't need a password or Username, what must I enter in the box "Username" and "Password" do I need to set up anything to the network?
My network (SMB) name is: casaclavel
My Macbook name : TheM4inframe
Thanks in Advance,
TheM4inframe
PS sorry for my bad English

I have the same problem. I have a windows desktop computer running XP which has an HP PSC 1315 connected to it via USB and I am trying to use my MacBook to the printer via the home network. After trying several things, my MacBook won't let me install it. Any ideas?

  • Printing attached to windows workstation - can't print from mac

    Here is my setup:
    I am trying to print to a Canon MF6500 printer attached via USB to a Windows XP Pro computer in a Windows 2003 SBS environment. I enabled Unix printing, set the printer up for sharing and installed the Mac driver on my computer. I went to "add printer," then "windows printing" and found the workstation with the target printer, however nothing was available to select.
    I then added the printer to the server hoping that I could just share it from the server, but I got the same result - no printers to add.
    So as a last ditch effort, I installed the 3rd party App DAVE. I opened the "Dave Printers List" and it actually found the printer, but I could not find the driver now. The Canon driver is in the list of drivers (as I can see it when searching for Bonjour/appletalk printers), but not there when searching for other printers. So I can add the printer, but I can only use a generic print driver.
    Anyway, here is my question: How do I add the printer without using DAVE (if possible) with it's correct driver? If not possible, how do I add the printer using the correct driver with DAVE? Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!
    Thanks

    have you resolved your problem? Please forward me any tips that you may have received.
    I have a new iMac with OS X V 10.4.10 - all software is up to date.
    I have a HP OJ 7680 linked into my airport network through Bonjur. When I try to print, Word (and all other applications) tell me to select a printer, I select the HP OJ 7680 (designated as a Bonjur printer) and my iMac instantly tries to install the printer. After about 5 - 10 minutes the install fails.
    Where can I get help on this? Doesn't apple offer any on-line or phone customer service?

  • Can't print to printer attached to Windows 7 machine

    When I send a document from my MacBook to the printer attached to my Windows 7 desktop, it shows up on the print queue as a document but lags and shows as "spooling". I have yet to get this to work. I successfully networked the computers together for file sharing and whatnot, but printing refuses to work. Like I said, the documents make it to the print queue, but won't actually print.
    Router is Linksys WRT54G2 firmware version 1.0.04
    printer is Cannon MP240
    Mac OS is Snow Leopard version 10.6.4
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if a suggestion doesn't work, thanks for taking the time to reply!

    To print to a Canon inkjet when it is being shared by a Windows computer, you need to use a CUPS-based driver such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. Note that the Canon drivers cannot be used - even the versions that have CUPS in their name.
    Gutenprint is the preferred driver as it is free however the MP240 is too new and is currently not listed as a supported model. So you could look at using a different Canon model, such as the MP220 or some users have found the MP150 to work for their non-supported model.
    If you cannot get any of the alternate Canon models to work correctly then you could try [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net>. There is a 30 day trial available so you can check that it works before paying the €49. Also your MP240 is listed as a supported model.

  • OfficeJet 8500 Printer attached to Windows XP system via USB prints partial pages

    I have an OfficeJet 8500 printer stationed at the desk of one of my users and is attached to her Windows XP system with a USB cable.  The printer has started to print partial pages and will not complete a full page of text or images, color or black and white.
    I have attempted to reset the printer by removing power from the printer via the power cord, and holding # and 6 while turning the printer on (after reconnecting the power cord, of course).  The alignment process took place after this procedure, but it has not resolved the issue.
    I have not yet upgraded the firmware from what was installed at the factory.
    What might I do?  What am I missing?  Do I need to upgrade the installed driver on the system?  Is the printer able to be salvaged?  It doesn't appear to be hardware, as the portions which print are perfect; I just don't get the entire page.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    The USB to parrallel cable will work just find if you don't mind plugging in the laptop to the printer when required. If you want to modify Win XP to be able to print to an AppleTalk printer follow the instructions below.
    "To install AppleTalk protocol to Windows XP
    Required files: (Get them from any system running Windows 2000 Professional or Server)
    netatlk.inf, sfmatalk.sys, sfmmon.dll, sfmatmsg.dll, sfmwshat.dll, sfmpsprt.dll
    If they can not be found you need to unhide hidden and system files.
    Copy the files to their respective places:
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\INF\netatlk.inf
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\sfmatalk.sys
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmatmsg.dll
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmmon.dll
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\sfmwshat.dll
    C:WINDOWS(WINNT)\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRTPROCS\W32X86\sfmpsprt.dll
    AppleTalk Protocol should now be available under the list of Protocols you can add in Network Connections - Local Area Connections Properties
    This is only good using AppleTalk printers attached to the network. The AppleTalk printer will show up, if it's turned on, under Add Printer-Local printer attached to this computer - create a new port - AppleTalk Printing devices.
    For more info see: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/s agadd_appletalkport.mspx (you do not need to capture the port for the printer to work)
    If you can not get access to these files, make your email address visable in your user profile and I will send them to you."

  • Print from a mac to a printer attached to windows

    After installing Leopard I lost the ability to print to a printer attached (wired) to a PC in my home office. My MacPro is wireless and has no trouble finding the network I have set up to enable printer sharing. When I was running Tiger there was no problem getting this to work. I remember going into Printer Browser and selecting the workgroup MSHOME or something else. Everything seems fine in System Preferences. Under Printer & Faxes my Epson printer is showing and I have downloaded the latest Epson Drivers. All printing goes into the queue and never hits the actual printer. Please help.

    I found a series of articles under Apple Mac OS X: Cannot locate a shared Windows printer. The first article said a remote printer must have 12 or less characters. That opened the door to the solution. The rest of the material was also useful. I can now print remotely.
    Who would have thought that Apple would have been limited to 12 characters for a printer. Thta's the stuff you expect form Microsoft.

  • Printing problem on laser printer attached to Windows XP

    Hi,
    I am trying to print a test page on Samsung ML-2510 laser printer connected and shared on Win XP. I have a green dot for this printer in Print & Fax on Mac, all looks cool. But I get the message 'On Hold (Authentication required) with red circle in printer status window on Mac. When I hit 'resume printing of selected jobs' it asks me to enter username and password for XP. I do, I hear the printer starting to print something but no page is printed. I have no problems using this printer from other XP machines.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    THIS WORKS, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
    I just purchased a vista home premiun computer and was having the same issue making my hp 5150 printer work through a networked xp system that the printer is physically attached to..It now works.. procedure= ( on the vista computer ) remove all old printers and printer drivers from previous attempts.
    Go to this address and download this driver http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?os=2093&softwareitem=dj-46093-3&lc=en&cc=us...  HP_Vista_SF_Ph1.exe ,,click on it and let it install. when it ask if installing a local or network printer  (choose network ) continue install. It may tell u the drivers may not install properly, ( install anyway ) It may again tell you the drivers did not install correctly ( do not fix just keep them installed incorrectly ) now leave the print test page window open.
        Go to add printer wizard and install new printer ( network printer ) add a local port and type EXACTLY the same path to the xp based printer EXAMPLE= \\lisajunk\printer .....finish wizard and print test page...
    I done nothing to the xp computer, my printer and drivers work good on my other networked computers which use xp operating system.
    I believe creating the correct port and having the correct path on the vista machine is the key to making this work. I use xp pro SP1 on an old antique 400mhz gateway that my printer is physically attached to.. You need to make sure the printer is being shared on the machine it is physically attached too.

  • Difficulty connecting to printer attached to Windows XP computer

    I'm trying to connect over the network to a printer which is attached to one of my computers running Windows XP SP2. I opened the Printer Setup Utility and clicked "Add", then "More Printers" I selected "Windows Printing", and "Network Neighborbood", but my workgroup is not appearing. The default workgroup "Workgroup" appears, but my computers are all using the workgroup "MSHOME". I took a screenshot:
    http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c158/palehose/printers.png
    Anyone know what might be causing this? I'm using a MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz running OSX 10.4.6.

    Are you sure? I was looking at the summary for this program and it appears to be something that allows a PC to find printers connected to Macs:
    With Bonjour for Windows, your PC can easily discover printers, web servers, and the many other devices that support Bonjour service discovery.
    I need to do just the opposite.

  • Can't Print to printer attached to Windows XP Computer

    Be kind, since I'm new to Mac computing. I have a Canon Pixma iP5000 printer connected to a Windows XP computer via USB. I am wirelessly connected to everything via a Linksys wireless G router. I set up the printer using the printer setup utility. When I try to print, the printer led flashes once, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in the bundled version of Gimp-Print.
    For the iP5000, the only CUPS driver I know of is from www.printfab.net

    Is it possible to share a printer (attached to a Windows-7 PC) on my home network, with an iPad, iPhone or a Mac?

    Possibly. You'd need to see if your printer has any programs you can put on that attached computer to allow it to be a print server.
    I'd start with your printer manufacturer first. See if they offer anything. for your model. If not, then you can look for any printer apps or programs.

  • I am not able to print to my usb airport extreme attached printer from my windows aptop or window desktop

    I am not able to print to my usb airport extreme attached printer from my windows aptop or window desktop

    Your post did not really provide any details on what you have done in the way of troubleshooting or printer software that you have installed, so we don't have much to go on here.
    For starters though, you will not be able to print unless you have installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC(s) and run the program.
    So, if you have not done this, that would be a good first step.

  • Windows 7 laptop can't print to PSC 2410 attached to Windows XP desktop on home network

    The subject line pretty much says it all.  I finally got the laptop to see the printer and went thru Windows update to find our printer model, but when I print a test page nothing happens.  I tried setting it up as a network printer but couldn't find a driver (which it required).  I finally went through the local printer option to get as far as I did with it.  I tried also getting on the XP desktop to add a printer driver for Windows 7 64 bit OS but that option isn't available...I was under the Sharing tab for the printer.
    This is very frustrating because I had no problems setting up my Vista laptop.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Try the following: on the Windows 7 machine go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then click on Windows Update and then select HP for the manufacturer and HP PSC 2400 series when the list refreshes.

  • HP Cloud Print Driver for Windows Server 2003?

    Hello,
    I have a unique (complicated) situation that I am trying to find a solution for.
    Here is the deal,
    My company is trying to set up a temporary remote branch location inside a building where we are unable to wire a network. Our solution is to use a wireless hotspot. Connected to this hotspot, we will have an iPad and an HP Laserjet M525.
    The iPad will be connecting to our Citrix environment over VPN through Citrix Receiver to deliver a desktop interface to the iPad. This is needed to access a few applications that are used at the branch.
    The problem now is printing, AirPrint wont work because the iPad is on VPN (and its at a windows interface, not the iPad's).
    I had the idea of using the HP printers built in ePrint function to print, so I set that up. So now sending at email to [email protected] prints to the HP printer attached to the wireless hotspot.
    Emaling to print works, but ideally, I would like this printer to show up in the Windows Devices and Printers, so that the user can just click print, choose the HP printer, and it will print, (with a delay obviously as its sending an email).
    So I downloaded the HP ePrint Windows Driver, which has to be installed on the main Citrix servers so that the users session can grab the printer and use it, turns out the driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003. 
    My first attempt at a workaround was Google Cloud Print, which was fairly simple to connect to HP ePrint, but apparently the Google Cloud Print Driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003 either.
    Is there a version of the HP ePrint Driver out there that works on Windows Server 2003?
    tldr:
    I would like to print to a remote HP printer that is connected to a wifi hotspot from our internal network. I need whatever software I download to be compatible with Server 2003.
    I understand this is over complicated but thanks for any input.

    I believe I understand your issue.  You would like to use a print driver to print to your HP ePrint enabled printer from your apps that are hosted by Citrix server.  While I believe this makes perfect sense, HP does not have a print driver that officially supports MS TS or Citrix that also supports the ePrint Cloud path.  The reason for this is the ePrint windows driver is a "dynamic" print driver (similar to HP UPD dynamic mode) that handles multiple print paths (tcp/ip, wireless direct, cloud, etc) in a single driver instance by dynamically changing the port the print queue is bound to so the port is specific to the delivery path.  For example, if printing to a network printer it will use a MS Standard tcp/ip port.  If printing to the ePrint cloud a custom port is used, etc.  Well, if you have lots of Citrix users trying to print to a single print queue, but to different destinations, the users would be colliding with each other when they print by having the driver trying to change the print queue to different print ports at the same time.
    What you could do is install an ePrint print queue on the citrix server if you can control the access to that queue to just your local branch users.  Also, if you only have on ePrint enabled printer the situation is even better as only one port will be needed by that queue.  You can find the ePrint software at www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware   You might want to download the version of the driver that supports XP as Windows 2003 is very similar print system.
    NOTE:  this is not a supported environment for this driver.  You would be using it without warrenty or support and no promises are being made here.
    Good luck if you choose this path and please post back the results.  Thanks!

  • Bonjour won't print to ethernet windows 7

    Bonjour is a very exasperating piece of stuff.  I am trying to get a printer attached to a Mac to print a document from Windows 7. 
    Bonjour installs properly, I think.
    The Windows machine (connected by ethernet, not wirelessly) sees the printer on the Mac.  The Firewall is turned off.
    The print instruction is sent, the print job goes off ...  and probably lands on the Moon.  No print results come out of the printer.
    Directions would be most welcome; this should not be rocket science!

    A follow up comment, in case somebody has similar complaints.  I have established full printer sharing with my PCs, so my nasty remarks about Bonjour were inappropriate.  There were some steps that I had to follow to get things working:
    1) on the iMac, confirm that the printer has the most current drivers.  I had relied on the Mac updates and while the driver printed fine on my Mac, it was a couple of service numbers behind what was available on the Canon site.  So make sure the drivers are current.
    2) On the PC, uninstall and re-boot.  Re-install.  Make sure the operation completes fully.  I think my error was in being impatient.
    3) Select the printer you want to use from the Bonjour software before calling the print job.  This may seem obvious, but the instructions don't speel this out as comprehensively as they might.  Following this step, then calling the printer, produced nice results.
