Problems printing via a Buffalo Linkstation

Hi - I'm having problems printing to the print server that comes as part of a Buffalo Linkstation. The printer in question is an Epson DX7450.
I can print successfully to the printer via USB
I can install the printer successfully as a windows server attached printer (attached to the Buffalo)
But when I print, I get the following errors. I'm assuming the driver is expecting two way comms with the printer, but the Buffalo doesn't support this. Anyone any clues?
Thanks,
Tim

Should have googled properly - see this is an issue using a usb driver for a network printer. So I'll go and get a cups driver and see what happens.

  • Problems printing via AppleTalk with a Windows 2003 print server

    My company is migrating from Windows 2000 Server over to Windows 2003, which is going to be the new acting print queue.
    We have a mix of old and new printers (most of them HP), and our Macs have been printing to the printers via AppleTalk. With the new print server, we could not easily find the printers on the network since AppleTalk was not turned on. However, once AppleTalk was turned on, it was easy to find and add the printers. We are good so far. Before hand, I tried to add the printers via an SMB connection, but kept having problems with NT Authentication errors.
    I tried printing a test page to the newly added printer, and it came back with this error:
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: languagelevel ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    This is about the best reference I've found so far which relates to this problem:
    http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1167812&page=1
    Most of the other suggestions I've dug up so far refer to updating firmware or drivers, but I don't think that is the problem. The drivers on the old W2K print server and the new W2k3 server are the same, so it is my opinion that something on the new print server isn't turned on or isn't installed yet.
    Any ideas on what the issue is here?

    "Supposedly" the same exact drivers were installed for the printer -- the same driver that was used on the old print server. Might something else need to be installed?
    I've found a few other cases where people are having the same error:
    http://www.macfixitforums.com/showflat.php?Board=Forum39&Number=732031
    Below is the error that is printed when I print a test page from http://localhost:631

  • Problems copying files from Buffalo Linkstation

    I have just set up a new Lion server (Mac Mini) and I'm trying to copy a large folder hierarchy from a Buffalo Link Station to a share on the server.
    I am logged into the Buffalo as an administrator user and I'm logged into the Lion server as a user who has full read and write permission to the share.
    When I drag a folder from the Buffalo to the server share, I am told "One or more items can't be copied because you don't have permission to read them".  However, if I decend into the folder, select everything inside, and drag-drop that to the server's share it copies with no problem.
    So where are the files that I have no permission to?
    Is there some workaround for this, or do I really have to manually recereate the folder hierarchy on the server and then select-all drag-and-drop each folder's contents individually?

  • Problems printing via AirPort Express in Windows

    Hi,
    I have recently bought an Airport Express base station. I have configured it correctly, with PPPoE, AirTunes and Printer sharing.
    I have a mac and a pc connected to Airport Express, and with my mac, the base station works without any problems. My pc (running Windows XP SP2) connects to the internet, but it cannot use the printer feature.
    I have installed Bonjour for Windows 3, and when I boot the computer, it recognizes the printer (HP LaserJet 1320) immediately. But after a couple of minutes, it disappears, and the pc can no longer connect directly to the base station nor use the connected Bonjour-printer. Despite this, it is still connected to the internet.
    Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
    MacBook Pro 15,4"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1GB / 80GB

    Does anyone have a solution to my
    problem?
    Try using this process instead.

    Though I agree with RJ it probably is more a firewall or internet security software issue.

    If you haven't done so already then I suggest you reset the printing system.
    Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    Move your mouse over the Printers list
    Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.
    With regards to adding the printer, ensure you are selecting More Printers then Canon CAPT (USB)

  • LaserJet P2055DN - will not print via network

    Set up the printer last night as a network printer (replacing an older LJ 2300dn). It would not print a test page. To verify that the printer was good, I loaded the drivers into my laptop and connected via usb.  Was able to print a test page via usb.  Disconnected usb and reconnected network cable. Released and reset ip address.  Verified ip address by pinging from host.   When I ping the printer I loose usually half of the packets.  There are two other HP printers on the network, a P2015dn and a LJ color 2605dn. Pinging their ip address returns 100% with a ttl=255. Pinging the p2055 produced 4 packets sent, 2 packets received, 2 packets lost, ttl=64 on the 2 returns.  I have changed cables to the printer and interchanged ports on the network switch (verified the ports on the network switch by printing to the LJ 2605) with the same result. I cannot get the internal web server to come up, or it partially displays, or combinations of the above.  If this had the older style removable print server like in my lj2300, I could swap it out, but it doesn't look like I can do that with this model.  When I send a test page to the printer, it displays "printing", the green light on the top is flashing, the activity light on the network card is flashing, but nothing happens. Eventually, I get a "this document failed to print' notification on the host, but the printer still indicates "printing" and the lights are still flashing.  Anyone have any ideas?  I think I'm looking at a bad network/print server card in the P2055.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I also had problems printing via the network to hp p2055dn. There was no problem printing via USB. All network settings were ok. Can ping, etc...
    Many days of wrangling, finally found that the Network Config.Security had to be Reset on the printer's physical control panel.
    Press Ok on the printer control panel --> press down arrow, you get to Setup Menu Network Config  --> press Ok --> A number of down arrows down you get to Network Config. Security --> press Ok --> you have two options - Keep or Reset --> Choose Reset........ Network printing should be working fine.

  • Epson Aculaser CX11NF printing via Airport Express

    Well today has been an interesting day...
    Connected printer to airport express usb port - had problems printing via this in the past but since I'd moved the printer so I could plug it into the usb port on a computer and then share it that way I thought I'd give it another go.
    Macbook 10.5.2 prints perfectly first time
    Powerbook 10.4.11 can see it and connect but won't print
    Toshiba XP laptop) can't see it
    Check out the net, try out the info I find and hey presto! Toshiba XP laptop sees and prints perfectly
    Share printer via Markbook and Markintosh and Powerbook prints fine but still won't print directly via airport express.
    Feels wrong that an xp book can print via an apple airport express easier than an apple laptop...
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Thanks for all your replies. I tried repairs pewrmissions in disk utility again and got slightly excited when printer utility automatically selected a generic post script driver but my printer just printed jibberish.
    I've just run repair permission in pinter setup repair and this is my log:

    Done.

    2075 files examined. 1 problem was found and repaired. It is recommended that you verify the permissions again to make sure the values are correct.
    3 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.

  • Lion 10.7.5 cant connect to printer via Buffalo print server

    Hi everyone,
    I'm at my wits end with this one having spent over 20 hours on it.
    I have a Macbook Air running Lion 10.7.5 and a Macbook running OSX 10.6.8.  I have a Photosmart 8050 printer attached to a Buffalo Linkstation Live LS-CH1 running firmware 1.60 (the latest version for this model).  The Linkstation has a printserver which is attached via USB to the printer, the Linkstation is attached to a wireless router, for amound other things, wireless printing.
    The long and the short of my problem is, I can get the Macbook running 10.6.8 to print without a problem, works fantastic, but I can not get the Air running 10.7.5 to print through the print server even though the printers are installed the very same way on both machines.  The error from the print que is "unable to connect to printer" even though it seems to connect successfully to the Linkstation, as in my setup a username and password must be entered to access the printer, even though a user is logged in to the file server.  Not to get confused, I am 99% convinced the problem is with the Macbook Air running 10.7.5.
    I installed the printers using the Windows method, Workgroup -> Linkstation -> Printer then selecting the HP 8000 series driver version 5.0.4.  I have also tried every other install method available, however as I understand it, this is the recommended method for this print server setup.
    I have checked the network setup, driver versions and even though it does not seem to cover my printer have GutenPrint 5.2.9 installed.
    The printer does work when connected directly to USB however.
    If anyone has any idea why I cant get the Macbook Air running 10.7.5 to print via the print server on the Linkstation when 10.6.8 works perfectly, then please HELP!
    Thank you

    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait for few  minutes.
    Connect the router back to to the wall.
    Power the router back on. Wait  until all lights are lit properly. It will take a while.

  • Problem connecting to Buffalo Linkstation Pro

    Hi all, im still looking for a solution to this problem...
    I have 2 macs that use airport express for network / internet etc. The Airport express is connected to my router to get to the internet connection. I also have a PC that is wired to the router. All works great, until I got a Buffalo Linkstation Pro Network HardDrive. I have set up the buffalo by plugging it in to the router and config it on the same IP range and its set up for mac and PC, it can be seen and used via my PC both by using the ip address through explorer to see the config page and as an extra hard drive, but the macs just cant see it.
    The only thing I do know is that the buffalo does show up on the macs if I turn off airport and hardwire the mac to the router.
    Any ideas anyone, i dont really want to hardwire my macs again just to use this hard drive.
    Thanks
    Lee

    Not sure why its working now, just one of those great technical things. All I have done is unplugged and moved the drive, used a longer CAT5 cable, and plugged it in to a different port on the router.... and now I can see it on the mac!!! how does that happen.

  • Printing to Buffalo Linkstation

    Hi everyone,
    Am thinking of buying a new iPad and using it as the main connected device in my house (laptop giving up the ghost and can't afford the space for another computer - iPad seems ideal solution). I have a Buffalo Linkstation NAS which has a built-in print server (you connect any printer to it via USB) to share the printer across the network. The Linkstation's core OS is a version of Linux I believe, but there is no access to the OS without hacking it.
    My question is this: will an app like PrintCentral work on the iPad to connect to this printer as obviously you can't install WePrint on the NAS... will the printer still be picked up as a normal networked printer? The printer in question, by the way, is a Canon i865. This is a crucial thing for me and will decide if I get the iPad or not.
    Message was edited by: digitalinkblot

    Really? Nobody knows?
    Have decided to get the iPad anyway, have placed order, so when it arrives I'll try it myself and post the results back here, so that should anyone be having the same issue there's the info somewhere out there...

  • Buffalo LinkStation Live and NasNavigator 2 problems with Mac

    I am using a Buffalo LinkStation Live (LS-CH1.0TL) with my MacBook. With the Firewell turned off on my Mac it works really well. Unfortunately, with the Firewall on, a perpetual dialogue box appears asking to give permission to allow incoming connections from NasNavigator 2. Whether you click Allow or Deny, the message appears again after about 10 seconds. This process continues indefinitely. It works fine with Windows 7 (either run via Mac or on my previous PC). I have updated all software/firmware and reformatted and restored factory settings on the LinkStation.
    Buffalo are stating that this is an Apple issue so can anyone help or is this going to be technical-support-tennis where each are blaming the other?! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
    Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
    Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
    Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

  • Problems Connecting Computer & Printer Via Wireless

    I've recently just bought a HP Deskjet 2544 printer. I've installed the printer as per all the instructions, however when i tried to install this via the wireless it could not find the computer even though it was connected to the wireless in the house. Because of this problem, I was able to install via the USB cable.
    Since installing I can print only via the USB cable. I've went back and tried to connect the computer and the printer via wireless and everything is telling me they are connected (i've ran a systems report and all the lights are on, on the printer), however I keep getting the same messafe "unable to connect to your computer".
    Any ideas how to fix this, so that I can print wirelessley?

  • Problems Printing Ricoh Aficio 1045 via IPP (Error with Exclamation Mark)

    Two of our offices use Ricoh Aficio 1045 and I'm having difficulty printing to either printer via my MacBook (Op System: Mac OSX 10.4.10). I've tried using IPP and have downloaded the proper drivers, but when I press print, a printer icon appears on my Dock and sports a red exclamation mark! From there, it seems like my printer job has been stopped, so I click on Start printing, but nothing happens and it seems my print job isn't even spooled. Can someone tell me what is going on?

    Here's the most likely problem - IPP (Internet Printing Protocol, NOT IP printing) and LPD both require that you enter both the IP address and the printer/server/device queue name. The queue name is a required part if the address to route data to print. It can usually be found in the manual and is sometimes called port name. The HP Jetdirect protocol is called TCP/IP raw or TCP/IP port 9100 printing in manuals and it doesn't use a queue name. "PORT1" and "print" seem to be common Ricoh queue names
    The drivers you downloaded may be for postscript. If your printers don't have postscript, you should be able to use the HP Laserjet 6 Series Gimp-Print driver included in OS X.

    Hello Sashalechat,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue when attempting to connect to a wireless network.
    Have you changed the router for a new one? 
    Make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Make sure that you are with in the 4'-20' range.
    You can try the HP Print and Scan Doctor as well.  Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
    Write me back when you have time.

  • HP Officejet 5610: Problem Adding Printer via USB

    Hello. I am trying to print via USB on a HP Officejet 5610. My Mac has detected it via USB. I tried to add it by "Default Printer." I got the model "HP" but could not find the model "Officejet 5610" for the gimp-print. I tried a few random models to print but none of them work. Could someone help me please? I do not have the installation CD. This is not my house. The person who owns the printer is usually not home and his computer locked.
    Thank you.

    Disconnect the printer.  Remove references to it from  print and scan in system preferences.  Remove the HP folder from /Library/Printers.  Reconnect it.  Try again.  It should dowwnload drivers.
