Problems printing using Bonjour

Using either a Power Mac G5 or a PowerBook G4 (both running OS 10.4.9), the printing stalls out part way through the first or second page printing from the web or Word (haven't tried other apps). The printer is networked via Airport Extreme Base Station and is a Canon PIXMA i6000D. It had been working fine about a week and a half ago, but we started turning the printer off when not in use. Resetting the Base Station seemed to help at first, but no longer. The driver for the printer is current and so is the firmware for the Base Station. It is version 5.7. The Base Station is the previous model.

I am also having trouble with a new Windows 7, HP laptop. I only found Bonjour for XP and Vista. Is there a Bonjour for Windows 7, 64 bit, Home Edition? Additionally, I cannot find drivers for my older printer, an Apple LaserWriter Select 360. I'm wondering if anyone call tell me if there's a work around? I can get Windows to "see" the LaserWriter Select 360, but it wants the correct drivers.
I saw an article in Support on using Bonjour, but I don't understand what it means to activate SMS in the sharing options.
I'm trying to get the HP laptop, running Windows, on my home network of Apple computers.

  • Anything printed using Bonjour from Windows to Mac is very light in color

    I dont get this at all. And it only started happening very recently. When using my printer connected to my Mac, and printing from my Windows Vista laptop (using Bonjour of course), all of the colors are very light. Black text is light grey, and all of the other colors are very washed out. I have no idea whats going on here. My printer is a Canon MP160.
    Any help would be extremely appreciated.

    I have the same problem after I updated to 10.5.5 yesterday. My Canon MP 780 works perfectly printing from my mac and all the networked macs in the house. When I connect the printer to Vista (on my mac) running in Parallels directly (by checking my printer in "Devices- USB"), it works perfectly; but when I try to print networked from Vista via Bonjour, it uses blue ink for text. Prior to the update it printed perfectly without having to connect it to Parallels.

  • I can't print using Bonjour on Windows Vista

    Hi. I've connected an HP printer to my Airport Extreme. My great MacBook can print using the printer, but my other computer, running Windows Vista (**** IT!) can't do that. When i install bonjour, it recognizes the printer but can't print. Why? Oh, and after i have installed Bonjour, all the other programs run with problems... so i have to cancel Bonjour... why? Thank you

    deleted Vista and installed XP
    :P

  • Cannot print using Bonjour 1.03

    This iMac is connected to a HP LaserJet 1022 via USB. My wife uses a Dell desktop and now wants access to the Laserjet. So I have installed Bonjour on the Dell and it has identified the Laserjet connected to this iMac. But when attempting to print a document nothing happens
    The strange thing is, if I view the list of completed jobs in system preferences/print & fax/print queue, the doc's that I have attempted to print from the Dell are listed as completed/finished.
    The UDP port is open on the Dell and sharing for printer and windows is set up. Any ideas???

    This may not be good news but, if you are using Windows Vista on the Dell laptop, then I can sympathise with you. For the past 6 weeks I have been trying to send a print file from a Toshiba Laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium via a MAC wireless network to an iMac running OS X 10.4.9 which has an HP 2410 connected to it by USB.
    The Toshiba shows print jobs running & completed but there has been absolutely nothing happening on the iMac. Investigation of the Network shows Port activity from the Toshiba to the iMac so there are quite a few files floating in cyberspace.
    (Another laptop running windows XP Pro can easily use the same network to get print jobs to the iMac which then prints them OK on the HP 2410. This can be done using Bonjour or not using Bonjour - details on the iFelix website.)
    Delving deep into Vista Windows Registry seems to indicate a bewildering set of conflicting security permissions irrespective of what is set globally. The Toshiba is new & came pre-loaded with Vista. I just wish I'd bought an XP Pro machine; it had to be a Windows machine for school compatibility otherwise I'd never even give Windows a second glance.

  • Problem printing using Report server

    I have sucessfully installed Developer server
    version 6.0 on NT. I am trying to output my job to the network printer using Reoprt Queue Manager. Unfortunately, I am not unable to do that. The message says " JOB SUBMITTED TO THE REPSERVER", and it just hangs there. My repserver is running on NT as a service and I can get the report to diplay on my screen.
    Does anybody have any idea why it's not printing to the printer?
    I will really appreciate your help.

    Hi Dinesh,
    I don't know whether this will help you but I am using all my reports converted into *.pdf format so that I can take a print out where ever I want .

  • Having problems printing using ePrint from email with an SMTP transmission failure

    I am having a problem printing from my Apple devices (iPhone, iPad (both running iOS 5), Mac Book Pro and iMac (Lion)) from my Mobile me account (Apple's @me.com mail). My printer is a D110a and is up-to-date. The return error message I'm getting is attached. The printer is working fine as a wireless printer but whenever I try to email something to the ePrint printer address (@hpeprint) I get this message. While I wasn't a heavy user of emailing to this printer, I did have it working. I'm very discouraged by all of the postings I've found on very similar if not identical problems that others are having ... Please help!

    I cannot say if this is a supported path or not, but I have a few thoughts about what you are doing. I have done a few prototypes that would send emails programatically to eprint printers.
    1. do you recieve the email if you send it to a different address (your email address) - you said the email is making it out of the server, but does it make it to destinations.
    2. can you try this with your own printer that has an hp connected account? this would make it easier to troubleshoot.
    3. hpconnected has the idea of open to anyone or allowed senders only. depending on how your customer has their printer setup, you could be blocked by the service because of those settings. with those options, they also have the option to block users or allow users to either of those settings.
    3a. login to hpconnected.com, select devices, look at the device being printed to, and there is a column for ePrint Access that will say 'Allowed Senders Only' or 'Open to Anyone'. going to the settings for a printer will give more details about these settings, and allow you to manage blocked / allowed users.
    More info under 'Manage ePrint Preferences' on this doc:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03550522&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    4. I believe that in hpconnected, you can look at collections and it will show all recieved jobs - which would allow them to be printed again. I think this will list received jobs from email.
    I work for HP.

  • Problems printing using iPhoto and Epson Stylus Photo R2400

    I'm using OS 10.5.6 and iPhoto 8.0.2(402) to print pictures on my Epson Stylus Photo R2400.
    I have other printers set up on this computer and they all print everything just fine regardless of the program I am using.
    Using the Epson Stylus, I'm able to print from any other program than iPhoto.
    When I try to print pictures from iPhoto, I get the error message...
    can't open ` /private/var/spool/cups/tmp/4a18c65407c9b (the numbers at the end changes each time I try to print.
    When I go in to check the folders out to see what might be causing the problem, the permissions on the folder cups and tmp have the following rights set up. system = Read & Write, _lp = No Access, everyone = No Access.
    I've been able to set the everyone setting to equal Read & Write access, but I can't get the _lp access to change. When I reboot the computer, the everyone setting goes back to No Access.
    Any ideas for how I can get this to work?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't have a tried and true fix for that but I would start with dumping the printer driver via the System/Print pane and then reinstall it. Go to the Epson site to download the latest driver for that particular model in case there's a newer one released.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Problems Printing using Hp Printer

    I am using photoshop elements 3.0 with Windows XP. When trying to print from Photoshop I click on Page setup and find Borderless 4x6 with tab paper and select that. Then I click on the print screen which brings up the print preview screen and select 4x6 print size and in the scaled print size box the scale is 21.09% and it shows the width 3.997, Height 5.998 Portrait setting which in the preview screen looks great. Also, the crop to fit print proportion box is checked because if it is not the preview screen shows white tabs on both sides of the picture.
    My problem is that when I print the left side (approx. 1/8 inch)of the picture is white and I get an ink line down the picture next to that small white tab. Any help would be appreciated but I am a computer novice so I need detailed instructions.

    I've had the same problem with my PSC 2175 and my powerbook and Tiger with airport until I tried using the browser Firefox. Firefox allows me to print web pages directly from the internet on my HP2175 even when Safari, IE, and Netscape do not...even Preview works and prints better on downloaded files from Firefox than files from other browsers. It does still tend to put an empty page in between each printed page but at least it's printing...
    I can't promise it'll work for you as well as it worked for me, but I'd say it's free so it's worth a try after all the months of frustration.
    Good luck.

  • Problem printing using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' CS3

    I have just upgraded my work Mac (G5 Dual 2ghz PowerPC running OSX 10.5.4 and 6gb Ram) to CS3. Brilliant, except when I came to print out a presentation for a client, it keeps crashing illustrator. It always happens when I try and print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2100 using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings. We have previously be using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings (as this gets a pretty true colour representation out of our CMYK printer). All the other settings work fine, but lacks the rich colour of the emulated setting. I don't seem to be able to get even close by adjusting the setting in the colour settings panel.
    Does anyone know of a way round this, or of a patch to fix this? I have been checking out the internet, but cant find the Illustrator settings from version 6 (i'm sure it was very basic - but my boss wont except anything but those settings).
    I have tried printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings to our Lexmark laser printer C522 (basic colour results) but it was able to print. Not sure why it should work on one printer but not another?
    The printer we are using is a Epson Stylus Photo 2100, with the latest driver 3.09.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I wonder if it is a conflict with the system settings or Adobe Bridge settings somewhere. I used to use "Emulate Illustrator 6...", but always had a RIP interpret the information. I can't think of any reason why Illustrator would crash. I'd send Adobe Tech Support a note about it, maybe they can figure out what's going on. By the way, I sometimes switch my settings to "Emulate Illus 6..." and, like you, have had no problems ( but, I'm still in v10 via 10.3.9 ).

  • Problems printing using Leopard

    I'm a graphics teacher and we installed 5 new Imac's. All 5 machines are giving me trouble printing.
    I've downloaded new drivers from HP for my HP 4050tn laser printer and HP 8750 photosmart printer. The problem is sometimes they print fine and other times the printer takes 20 to 30 minutes or longer to print. When I check print center the message say's looking for printer. This occurs using many different programs. I can't figure this one out. Please help?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I have the same problem using an old HP 6P with the generic PCL 4/5 driver from Apple. I have tried the driver from HP and the latest gimp driver from open source and every time I have the exact same problem. Sometime it's print good other time it's wait for the printer to answer.
    But if I reboot the computer, then it's ok for a few run. So this is what I do to print. Rebooting makes me thinks about Windows and really grieves me.

  • Can you access scan function of a multifunction printer using Bonjour/expre

    I'm using a Canon Pixma 830. It prints fine through airport express. I've hooked up the printer to the airport express using a usb cable.
    The question is. Can I use the other functions of the scanner using the bonjour/Express set up? I doesn't seem to work. I'm using a macbook so not hooking up the usb directly to the computer would be helpful. Thanks.

    Theoretically almost anything is possible...
    (a) The first thing you have to have is the proper hardware support. Only Apple knows if the AEBS's USB port has capabilities to access a scanner. If the hardware doesn't support it, end of story.
    (b) (1) You would need to create AEBS firmware that tapped into the AEBS hardware for scanning. (2) This firmware would need to provide a network interface for clients to use to access the scanning capability. (3) The Mac applications would need to be modified to know how to get a scan over a network connection instead of a local scanner.
    I have a suspicion that a USB printer interface has been standardized to some degree while the USB scanner interface has very little standardization.

  • Using Bonjour with Windows 7?

    Recently purchased an HP G62-144DX Notebook with Windows 7 pre-installed. I've been trying to print using Bonjour through the airport express to my Canon printer. The airport works with the Mac OS on my iMac and Macbook pro. It usually works with an old Dell laptop that runs Vista Home Premium. However, it does not work on my HP with Windows 7 or my iMac with Windows 7. I have the latest Bonjour installation, which claims to work with Windows 7.
    Oddly, when I print, I don't get an error message on my laptop. It's as though the computer sends the printed document off into space. I've tried disabling my Avast Anti-virus, thinking that maybe the print job was being firewalled. I've tried re-running Airport Utility. I've tried re-downloading Bonjour. Basically, I've tried everything that I can think of. Nothing ever prints.
    Anyone have a clue how to resolve this?

    I've read a lot of discussions on this problem and there was no answer I could find. However I knew that Bonjour uses IP address printing so I looked for where the address was configured. I have TimeCapsule but I think Airport works the same.
    Go to Devices and Printers, right click on the Printer (HP, Samsung etc) and select Printer Properties and then select Ports and then highlight and "Configure" the port for the printer from the list. Mine Printer configuration said something like "TimeCapsule.local" for the IP address (strange IP address huh?) so then I set the IP address to 10.0.1.1 which is the address of my TimeCapsule. Eureka, it worked.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hint about Samsung CLP-510N Printing with Bonjour

    After installing with Bonjour in Printer Utility I had a problem with Samsung's CLP-510N that did not appear with a Windows machine on the network. Using this printer, it simply stalls after appearing to start up OK. It just stops part way through sending a page and refuses to continue. It shows stopped.
    I found that if you try to install this printer using Bonjour in the Printer Utility it will not work. However, if you (as per the Samsung instructions) install with IPP (internet printer protocol) in OS 10.4.x there is no problem.
    A nice feature in Printer Utility is that the IP address entry does self-complete and shows what printers' address are as you fill out the line.
    This may be applicable to other printer related issues with Bonjour. Perhaps it's the way I use my resources, but in short I find Bonjour to be totally useless!

  • PhotoSmart 310a doesn't print using wireless connection

    First... I have to say that if I had known what a HUGE pain in the butt this printer was I would never have bought it.  On top of that, the thing apparently doesn't have an option to "hard wire" connect it to my computer... which the guy at the store didn't bother to point out.  On top of that HP's customer service is, apparently, non-existent, as attempts to reach by phone are useless.
    They can't even seem to get the model number on the machine where you can find it... so the instructions on "how to find your model number" are useless.
    That said... here is my problem... which if I can't fix, I'm simply returning this and getting something else.
    I have my printer all set up.  Wireless is set up.  ePrint is set up.  Test pages print fine.
    I have actually been successful printing with it ONE time.... so I know that it can do it.
    It does give me a "low signal" message - however it seems to have no problem printing using the email option, or downloading from the web for the "reports."   It scans and my laptop "sees" the scanned image, which is transmitted over the wireless network.   If it is truly a low signal problem it seems like it would have issues with other functions regarding the internet.  
    BUT... when I send something from my laptop (MacBook OSX 10.5.8) to the printer it says...
    .. connecting
    .. idle
    .. priinting (%)
    .. then the print job disappears from the queue in the dialog box ... yet nothing actually prints out.
    .. it then say's "Printer Ready" - I guess ready for another print job that it won't perform.
    .. It does NOT give any kind of error code... say it's "paused" or anything like that.  It's as if it THINKS it is printing... but it does not.  It makes no sound like it's trying to print either.  Paper is loaded in fine and it will print test pages with no problem and doesn't indicate any problems on those other than "low signal"
    ... When I use the "printer utility" to print a test page - also goes wireless - it prints just fine.
    I've tried to use this printer only 4 times now for various jobs... and each time has been an ordeal lasting from 30 minutes to several hours.    I've managed to get it to print on one occasion... though I can not remember how I did it.
    It has NO problem printing from an email... so I guess I could just always do it that way... but it involves several extra steps to do so and I'm not even sure it would work for every type of print job I need.
    It works fine scanning
    It works fine photocoping
    It works fine printing from ePrint (email)
    It just DOES not print via the wireless connection
    I don't understand how a company can make something this sophisticated and not have it give you an ERROR CODE when it fails to complete a function... and frankly, I'm fed up with this thing.  It's a big, oversized, shiny paperweight and I've wasted way too much of my time trying to figure it out.  This is one last ditch effort.
    Can anyone help?    THANKS so much if you can!
    Sue

    It is more likely a network problem, so please tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
    In the mean time, you could try this quick trick; resetting the printing system:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Oh, and indeed this printer does have a USB port for connection directly to your computer.  It does NOT have an Ethernet port for connection directly to your router.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • 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.
