Problems Printing to Shared Windows Printer

After upgrading to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), I can no longer print to my HP DeskJet 5150 printer from my Apple MacBookPro laptop. This Deskjet printer is NOT directly connected to the laptop. Instead, it's directly connected to my Windows PC (via USB port). This printer is shared out from the Windows PC.
I see the following error messages in the Printer Queue display every time I try to print something to that Windows shared printer:
"Connection failed: NTSTATUS_CONNECTIONREFUSED"
"Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."
In addition, every print attempt requires me to enter my Windows authentication credentials:
userid (on my Windows PC)
password (on my Windows PC)
I am absolutely sure that I have entered those credentials correctly. Yet, the error message above would seem to imply that Windows rejected my credentials for some reason. On the Windows side, the Security Event log entries appear fine (no corresponding failure gets logged when the print attempt fails).
Of course, my printing to the shared out from Windows PC WORKED FLAWLESSLY under "Tiger" (Mac OS X 10.4.x). My problem started immediately after I upgraded to "Leopard" (Mac OS X 10.5) on October 28, 2007.
Please advise me how to resolve this printing to a Windows shared printer problem.
Thanks in advance,

I'm having the same problem. Sharing an HPLJ5MP on WinXPSP2 box, and printer sharing was working fine under Tiger. After installing Leopard, can see and set up printer, but attempts to print test page are thwarted. Log:

Printing to a shared Windows printer

I can't seem to print to a shared Vista printer on my home network. I've scoured the Internet and this support site and have run into brick walls. According to the Apple web site: "Shared Windows printers automatically appear in the Mac OS X Printer Setup Utility so they can be added to the Macintosh as a local printer queue."
This isn't happening for me. When I bring up the Printer Setup Utility, I get the "Printer List". I click on "Add". I get the "Printer Browser". In the protocol selector, there are three protocols, none of which relate to Windows. So I click "More Printers..."
A secondary printer browser appears. I select "Windows Printing" in the top selector and "Home" (my Windows workgroup name) in the selector below that. I see three entries. These are the three computers on my home network (1 iMac, 2 Vista PCs). There are no printers.
There should be one printer, but there isn't. And that's the roadblock. I can access the shared folders on the computers in the network from my MacBook Pro and the Vista computer with no local printers can print to the shared Vista printer.
At work, I can print from this MacBook to a printer that is served by a Windows server of some kind. But on my home network, my iMac, my MacBook Pro, and my son's PowerBook are all equally unable to detect and print to the shared Vista printer. I should add that when the two Windows computers were running WinXP, the same problem existed.
My gut tells me that there is one tiny setting on either the PC or the Macs isn't set right. If anyone can enlighten me, I would be forever grateful.
Thanks,
Mike

I have a similar problem trying to network two Macs and a PC for printer and file sharing. I too have the nagging feeling that there's one simple setting somewhere that would cure the problem. I posted a query a week ago (4/21) and got a response from iFelix who directed me to web pages he's posted with step-by-step instructions on setting up Macs and PCs for printer and file sharing:
Sharing files between an XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x
http://tech.ifelix.net/3020.html

The instructions didn't solve my problem but perhaps they will yours.

Print to a shared Windows printer

OK, here is a scenario that I hope someone can help me with. I teach at a university, and I have in my office an elderly PowerMac G4-450 which, by choice, I use instead of the shiny new Dell PC that my department has generously provided for me (I like iWork way better than MS Office).
The Mac, of course, can't be upgraded beyond Tiger, so I run 10.4.11. The PC has a local shared printer on a parallel port, so I can't plug it into the Mac, but would like to be able to print to it from the Mac. So here is the problem: the print setup menu on Tiger does not allow you to specify a Windows domain, only a Workgroup. The PC is part of a domain, so its shares don't show up on the Mac. I have no control or authority over the configuration of the PC, so I am stuck with a printer on my desk that I can't get to without transferring files around and messing with two computers constantly.
Does anyone know if there is some trick for accessing a shared Windows printer that is a member of a domain? Is there some third party app or driver or hack or something that might make this printer visible from the Mac?

http://www.ifelix.net/tech/ has some hints on sharing printers between various flavors of Windows and Mac; depends on the OSs in play as to whether they actually got a guide written for it or not. Maybe something there will help.
As a side note, if you have access to a fast enough Mac, that will take 10.5 and has a firewire port, you could hook up that older PowerMac to it via firewire, boot up the PowerMac 450 in target disk mode (hold down T key while booting up) and then from the faster Mac, install OS 10.5 onto the externally mounted hard drive now appearing on its desktop that is your PowerMac 450 hard drive. That's how I squeezed 10.5 onto an old 2002 Quicksilver G4/800 computer a few years back.

Problem Printing to a Networked Windows 7 Printer Since Upgrading to 10.6.2

I have my macbook pro networked to a PC (running windows 7) and have had no problems sharing files and printing from the Mac to the PC connected printer (Epson CX 8400) until I updated Snow Leopard to 10.6.2. I can still connect to the network and share files, but a can no longer print. When I print from the Mac, the job stalls. The printer utility gives the following message "on hold (authentication required)". I do not have a password set up on the PC or the printer. I have no problem printing from a XP laptop connected to the network. I have updated the printer driver ,deleted and re-installed the printer. If I connect the printer directly to the Mac, it prints OK. Any suggestions?

An updated driver was posted to the Apple Software Update on 12/15. Run the Software Update and it should automatically update your driver.
Hope this helps,

Printing from MacBook to a shared Windows printer

I am having a great deal of dificulty setting up my MacBook to print to my shared windows printer. I have tried doing some reasearch on the web and have found a number of difierent atricles and I still could not get it to work.
I have also called apple support and they "can't" help because they think it's not an Apple issue. I'm not convinced.
I am running 10.4.6 and Windows XP, and my printer is a Brother HL 1430.
When I try to create a new printer on my MackBook, I click on the "More Printers" button and I select Windows Printing, Workgroup and I see the windows computer. I click on the windows machine and click Choose.
So far so good. I get a password authentication dialog box asking me to connect to the PC. I type in my account details and it is at this point that it fails.
I cannot seem to connect to the PC via this method. I am using the correct username and password - I have tried repeatedly, and I also tried setting up another account and that too failed. Both accounts were admin accounts.
When I try the username / password, I get an error informing me it cannot connect to the server with the provided username / password.
However, I do have file conectivity to the PC and I can access it's harddrive.
The strange thing is - I tried using no account name / password and it passed the authentication and I was able to see my shared printer. I set it up and it failed to print. I have since deleted this setting and I cannot replicate it. I dont understand why it rejects my account details and why it accepted blank account information, and why it no longer accepts the blank details.
I think something weired is going on here and Apple were unable to help.
I have tried using the Advanced settings via SAMBA - however, this too fails.
I am out of ideas and this is really bugging me - I have wasted over 3 hours and I still cannot print.
Can someone please help!!
Thanks.

Is your 'Brother' brand printer, compatible for BOTH Mac and PC? if so, it should/may have come with driver/installation software for both, (on opening the file, are thier/appear to be 2 set's of driver/instruction files).
If not, I would contact Brother at tech support, and ask if they have new/updated drivers, so the model will work on both PC's and Mac's. I'm running a 3rd party peripheral, that came with the above, i.e, 1 CD/driver installation file, 1 set is for Windows, 1 set for Mac, I installed it on both, and it's flawless.
The exception, I had to download new drivers for this to work w/ Win..ws XP with Service Pack 2, (it came with Mac drivers, and PC, but only for Win..ws XP, not Win..ws XP w/ Service Pack 2, hope this helps, and will watcgh for repost. GS

Cannot find shared windows printer with NEW macbook running leopard HELP!

I just bought a new Macbook this past week. Woo Hoo. I love everything about it with the exception of file sharing and printer sharing. I have a less than one year old pc running vista that is connected to a hp 1300 series all in one printer. I can not even find this printer anywhere on the mac. i have been able to connect to my pc server via the ip address and share files this way. I am at a loss and really have no knowledge of mac. it is really disheartening, as I had way less trouble setting up windows networks for my roommates in college.
Also, as a side helper, how can I setup a shared folder that can be accessed from both the mac and the pc. I would like something that I can set on the desktop of both in order to share files better and more efficiently than connecting to a server everytime I want to do this. Please help, and explain as if I am as stupid as I appear.
Thanks.

Adding a shared Windows printer

I am attempting to add to my iMac G5 a shared Windows printer (a Canon i9900) via the Printer Setup Utility following Apple Support Document # 301397 instructions. The printer is connected to a PC (running Windows XP) via a USB cable. The iMac and PC are networked via a router. One of the last instructions (7) in the Apple Support Document # 301397, "Choose the appropriate PPD or printer driver from the Printer Model pop-up menu" leads me to select "Other" for the Printer Model since there is no i9900 printer in the list of printers offered. This, in turn, leads me to a "Choose a File" window, actually the HD directory where the user (me) is expected (I guess) to find the pertinent driver. I have a driver installer CD that accompanied the i9900 but there are no drivers which can be selected on that CD (only a driver installer). I can install the drivers using the installer program on the CD but that simply installs the i9900 printer as a local printer to the iMac.
So the question is: How do I find the "appropriate PPD or printer driver from the Printer Model pop-up menu" as Apple Support Document # 301397 instructs me to do? Or is there a better way to do this?

Suggest that you also cross-post in the Tiger's Printing & Faxing Forum.

Mac cannot see shared windows 7 pc or printer

Recently upgraded to windows 7 (from xp) and now I'm having issues networking with my iMac. The PC can see the Mac just fine. On the mac, 0 items show up under network, even though file and print sharing are enabled on the PC. If I "connect to server" I am able to mount the shared windows folders. I am also able to stream my itunes library from the pc to the mac. However, I cannot add the shared printer connected to the windows 7 pc to the mac. I also have a laptop running windows xp and it can see both the mac and windows 7 pc just fine. It can also use the shared printer.
Basically I need to know why my shared windows 7 pc and windows xp laptop are not showing up as shared computers in finder, and why isn't the mac recognizing the shared printer?

I've contacted both Apple and Microsoft this morning. Apple says that since I can force the connection it must be a MS issue.. something they've changed in windows 7. MS says that since the windows 7 computer can browse files on the mac and because the xp laptop can print to the shared windows 7 printer, this issue is beyond their boundary for support, ie.. it's a Mac issue.
I don't care to point fingers. I just want things to work. As a last resort, i'm going to physically connect the printer to the mac, share it, and see if the windows pc can use it. However, that is not a desirable option for me because of the location of the computers/space in my home.

Quality problem printing in Windows 8.1 with CP1215

Recently purchased new laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro. I have had my printer for years, CP1215, via USB, without having any problems printing to it with Windows 7 Pro. I first noticed that the quality of print I receive out of my printer on the new laptop is darker. The darkness comes from black lines going diagonally across the page. I would estimate at approximately a 2 degree angle. I would also estimate that the lines appear every 4th pixel row. I have attached 2 images, printed on 2 different printers. The one on the top is the one off of my CP1215, the one on the bottom is a color copier in my office. I have zoomed in incredibly on the prints to show the lines. Just never had problems with this printer in pre Windows 8.1 days. Tried installing ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win64-en. Tried uninstalling printer, rebooting, then installing, still same problem. I also have another problem with printing, but suspect it is more of a Microsoft problem. My laptop thinks a network printer goes offline, stopping and restarting the print spooler service seems to fix that. I had to make a .bat file on my desktop to do it, it happens at least 2 times in an 8 hr work day.

Hi paulie99, Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I understand the printer isn't printing properly from Windows 8.I will be happy to help you. Check your printer driver settings. 1. On the File menu in the software program, click Print.2. Select the driver, and then click Properties or Preferences.3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.4. In the Type is or Size is list box, select the correct media type or size. Set the quality to ImageREt 2400. I have provided a document to install the Windows print driver to see if that makes a difference.Installing the Printer Software in Windows 8.1 for a USB or Network Connection. For the network printer I would setup a static IP address. Please let me know the results if you are still having issues. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.Have a great weekend!

Printing to shared windows xp printer from 10.5.8

I AM TRYING TO PRINT TO A SHARED WINDOWS XP PRINTER FROM 10.5.8 AND HAVE TO RE AUTHENTICATE THE USER AND PASSWORD EACH TIME I PRINT. THIS GETS TO BE TIRESOME WHEN OU PRINT 50 TIMES A DAY. TRIED DELETING THE KEYCHAIN, NO HELP. HAVE SET ALL PERMISSIONS ON THE XP BOX AND THE ONES THAT I KNOW ABOUT ON THE MAC. ANOTHER SUGGESTION WAS TO PRINT TO SPOOL FOLDERS ON THE PC. WHEN I TRIED THAT THE PRINTER SHOWED UP ON THE MAC AS A SHARED DRIVE. ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GRATEFULLY ACCEPTED.

Hello jackc5417 and welcome to Apple Discussions.
You could look at creating a queue with the user name and password entered. This can be done via the Advanced menu of the Add printer.
To make the Advanced menu option appear on Mac OS X 10.5, you have to customize the printer browser toolbar. After selecting to add a printer queue, hold down the Control key and click in the toolbar. In the new menu that appears, select Customize Toolbar. This will make a sheet appear and permit you to drag the Advanced icon up to the toolbar to add it. Now you can use the following steps.
1. Click on Advanced.
2. Select ‘Windows'
3. For Device Name, enter a name for the printer you are creating.
4. For the Device URI, after the text “smb://” enter a user account that is registered on the Windows computer sharing the printer followed by a colon. Then without any spaces enter the account’s password followed by the @ symbol. Now enter the computer name (or IP address) of the Windows computer, a forward slash, and the printer share name.
For example:
smb://username:password@computername/printersharename
5. For the Printer Using menu, select the appropriate PPD.
6. Click Add to finish
BTW - try not to use CAPS lock in future. It makes it hard to read...

Problems printing smaller sizes in Lightroom 1.4 Windows Vista-64bit, R800

Hi All,
I am having problems printing smaller sizes in Lightroom v1.4, WIndows Vista-64 bit, on an Epson R800 (driver version 6.5cAs, the latest one) . When I try to set the printer settings in both the page set up and the printer setup, it displays as 5X7, but somehow when it actually goes to print, the print dialogue box reverts back to 8.5 X11. I can print 5X7 in CS3 with no problems on the same machine. The prints coming from light room look ok, they are just the wrong size for the page. Some how it appears that lightroom is not able to change the printing size defaults from 8.5X11. The prints in lightroom are fine as long as I use 8.5X11 or print in CS3. Any help to fix this would be great.

make sure your ventilation ducts are clean from dirt, Vista put lot more strain on every component of your laptop, so the temperature increase should be normal. Xp is lot less demanding on computer compoents, however it does sound like your heat ventilation fan and fins are clogged with dusts. So open up the laptop to clean away any dusts that maybe there.

It sounds like you have the wrong printer selected.
When you get the Print window, pick another printer from your printer dropdown. You seem to have a fax printer selected instead of a physical printer.

'Laserjet 1022n Windows Update' causing printing problems: print jobs don't stop printing

Hello,
a few days ago, I installed the Laserjet 1022n Windows Update on my Windows 7 64 bits and since then, I can't print a page normally: the page doesn't stop printing. I am using a network port with TCP/IP.
I made several trials to solve this problem:
- uninstall the printer driver and installing it again (I tried the last version on the HP site and an older one that worked perfectly before)
- update the firmware of the printer to the last version on the HP site.
When I pause the printer and start the print job, you see it arriving in the list. Resuming the printer, the print starts on the printer but you see that the job stays in the list, flashing again and again. The printer keeps printing the same page.
I don't know what I can do to solve this problem. There is no mean of uninstalling the HP Laserjet 1022n software update because it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs (well on the list of the done updates by the way op windows updates).
I have the same problem printing on the same printer from another Windows 7 PC (with the same windows update done)
But I have no problem printing with my laptop on another network printers.
Is there someone having the same problem and how to solve it ?
Thanks for answering
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I found the solution on this site : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/59912-29-1022n-printer-stop-printing
You just have to uncheck the chekbox "Enable two-way communication" on the "Ports" tab of the printer properties and it works normally again !!!!

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

Problems printing from Google Chrome browser using my HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series printer

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am using Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 desktop computer.
I have a HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series printer.
I am encountering some problems printing from my Google Chrome browser in my Outlook.com account because when I try to change some settings in the print dialog interface the printout comes out incorrectly.
Below are the 2 snapshots of the print dialog interface of Google Chrome browser before printing an email message from my Outlook.com account.
Are there any software updates to correct this problem?
Please reply back soon.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Etow

Welcome to the forums Etow,
I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.
Have a great Friday
