Problems setting printer with Bonjour

I have a recent iMac and a new airport extreme with a Samsung printer plugged into it. My son has a new PC with Windows Vista. He has no problems accessing the internet via wireless through the airport extreme. But unable to print to the Samsung printer.
He has installed BONJOUR, goes through the set-up, selects the printer etc. and then at the end of the set-up process, he clicks on "finish," at which point he gets a message that "you do not have sufficient access privileges" or something like that. OR, even more often, BONJOUR freezes and he has to do a force quit. In any case, he is unable to use the printer.
Is there some setting on my iMac that I need to set so he can get through BONJOUR? OR ????

iSphere:
Most of the Bonjour discussions seem to be talking about using Airport Drive and Airport Printers (USB drive and printers attached to the Airport Station). In that case I found that the Windows Firewall software is usually the point of trouble: The Firewall on Windows must allow UDP port 5353 for incoming traffic for XP/Vista to recognize the Bonjour printer or drive.
However, your scenarios is different. I take it that you are trying to share a Mac printer that's directly attached to the Mac. In this case it's really about "File and Printer sharing" on the Mac side, unlikely related to Bonjour.
Here are my suggestions (I have not tried these yet):
- On the Mac side, turn on these items through "Sharing" (System Configurations):
- Windows File Sharing
- Personal File Shring
- Printer Sharing
- Then on "Printer and Fax" configurations, turn on "Printer Sharing".
Try it and see how far you can get

Problem to print with iPhoto and epson stylus photo RX620

I asked a question about the print with Iphoto. Larry gave some explainations but it still doesn't work. I can change the reglages with Safari, with Mail but not with Iphoto. So when I try to print photos, the reglage is standard and the result is bad. I would like to change the reglage, if i use glassy photo paper. With my PC, I have no problem to print with window or picassa. Thanks for your answer.

First I have no idea in the world what "reglage" is
But what ever printer specific options are available are supplied by the manafacturer's print driver and these are available on the last print window

Trouble with findig printer with Bonjour (HP all in one printer)

Hi,
I have a problem with connecting to my HP Printer.
When the printer and the iMac is booted freshly I can connect to the printer without any problems, also I can find the printer trought the printer browser via Bonjour.
But after a while the connection is completely lost with the printer, the only way I can connect to the printer is by IP, the dns name (http://HPxxxx.local.) is also not working anymore.
The only solution is turning off the printer and putting it on again, even sometimes I have to restart the iMac.
Is it possible a new installed wireless modem/router is cousing this odd behaviour ? Because it looked like the trouble whas coming after the new router was installed.
When I ping to the printer I can see there are some timeouts from time to time and when the timeouts take too long, the result is that I can't find the printer trough Bonjour anymore.
Thanks!

Hi cowla1,
I understand you need the drivers for the HP 6500A on a Mac. I can help you but will need some more information.
I have provided a link for the drivers up to 10.8. The 10.9 drivers show the documentation to run the Apple Updates for the driver install. HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in-One Printer - E710a Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
Make sure when you add the printer, it shows the printer name and not the printer name + Airprint.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

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!

Problem to print with HP Color LaserJet CP3525 (PCL 6) on Server

Hi,
I have a printer HP Color LaserJet CP3525 in a server, and I installed with the correct drivers for that but the printing output is strange. I'm trying to print in A4 paper, and everything is just printed in 1/4 of the page. The most strange is that the graphics are scaled to the 1/4 of the page while the text is exactly with the same size than the complete page, but all the letter are overlapping each other.
I also tried to print with a generic configuration and print in all the page but I can't print with color, just the black toner is used, so the quality is really bad.
Please, help me!

This sounds like a driver issue. You mention the printer being PCL6. Can you confirm which driver you are using when the 1/4 page prints occur. My guess is that it would be one of the Gutenprint drivers included with SL and this sort of output can occur when the printer driver is not supported by the printer.
Also, with regards to the Generic, which I assume is the Generic PCL Laser Printer driver included with SL, this by default is set to 300dpi. You can change this print quality setting to 600dpi, which will improve your output, especially the graphics. However this driver only supports black & white printing. So if you want to print in color from the Mac and the printer does not support PostScript, then you should look at installing the pxlmono package.

Note that you will need the pxlmono, Foomatic and Ghostscript packages to use this driver suite.

Having problems wirelessly printer with Airport and my Epson CX400

I recently bought an Airport Express and an Epson CX400. The printer works fine plugged in via USB to my computer but it doesn't work when plugged into my Airport Express. The odd thing is that my computer recognizes the printer in Print & Fax, however in the Epson Print Utility it doesn't and when I go to print a page I get the error, "printer is offline." I've tried re-installing the drivers and just about everything Apple suggested. I Googled the issue and I didn't find anything helpful or up-to-date. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? A response would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem with an Epson CX9400Fax. My printer setting says Location: Base Station eb8bbb. I've done all the updates I can find, talked to the friendly people at my local computer store. No help there. I just upgraded this computer from OS X 10.3 to 10.5.6. The printer worked wirelessly then. I have another iBookG4 that prints wirelessly just fine. So, what's up? Turtle

Margin problem when printing with canon printer

When I try to print a pages document on my canon pixma ip4500 printer (which they sold me at the apple store when i bought the laptop), the bottom margin does not appear. There is a space only about half an inch under the last line of text. Everything looks fine on the screen, but i cant get to print it with a bottom margin. and i don't even know how to set it manually...
ps, the printer isnt set for a 8 1/2 by 14 sheet, it really is for a 8 1/2 by 11
Help me please!

That’s going to depend on what the document consists of. If it’s a single element such as a graphic or PDF, reduce the size. If it’s text, you can use a smaller point size, slightly reduce paragraph spacing, make a headline smaller, etc. If it’s text and graphic, reduce the size of the graphic(s) a little. But first, set your document margins to agree with your printer margins.

See `config.log' for more details.
Did you install XCode? XCode and therefore the compiler are not part of a default installation. They are on every Mac OS X install disk, but you need to install them separately.
I did get a chance to look at this driver. It does not compile straight away. I had no problem getting the configure script to run, but 'make' immediately had errors.
This is an older package. It looks like it wants to find specific things in a Linux kernel or via libusb. It may be just a matter of installing libusb, but I am not familiar with it to tell you whether that would solve your problems. At this point, I am not sure whether there is an easy fix or whether more complex changes need to be made to the Makefile or code to get it to work in OS X.
If you have had some previous compiling experience, you can try adding libusb and then try 'configure and make'. You also might get some help on the Unix forum _http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735_

Error 9672 when adding USB printer with bonjour

I cannot get the printer to be added. Everytime it says an error occured #9672.
I have done all the suggested options to get the printer to add. It is recognized in the add list, and does everything up to adding it to the network, but the error pops up.
I have updated airport extreme to the newest version.
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

What is the printer make & model that you are connecting to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
You may want to double-check this iFelix site to see if it's compatible with the AEBSn.

Problem setting alarmPopup with CS 2004Q2

Hello,
I'm trying to create an appointment having an alarmPopup using the store command:
htt://server:443/storeevents.wcap?id=8s5qv9hu6s3t9eb&calid=user&dtstart=20050921T190000Z&dtend=20050921T200000Z&SUMMARY=summary&desc=&isAllDay=0&alarmPopup=20050921T185500Z&categories=0&icsClass=PUBLIC&location=&fetch=1&fmt-out=text/calendar
The syntax looks OK, but the alarm doesn't show up in the calendar server web UI when I try to edit the appointment.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Laurentiu

I did say that the alarm is not showing up on the web UI...
Anyway, I got it working by adding two extra parameters, not sure which of them made the difference, but didn't bother to find out: AlarmStart with the same value as alarmPopup and alarmEmails with the user name on the calendar server.
It didn't make much sense, but the web UI itself doesn't allow you to set an alarm to an event or task unless you also fill in the email address of the user you want to send the alarm to, this means you can't create a simple ALARM:DISPLAY, only ALARM:EMAIL.
Not very straightforward, but that's it...
Thanks anyway.

Printing with AX to Hp laserjet 1018

I have just bought this printer never having problems with the other printers i have had connected to my AX i didnt think that there could be probs. But now I cant get it to work. Works fine with plug and play. And and I can see the printer with bonjour and add it. But it doesn't work. Help please...

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought would happen.
Do you have a wired or wireless router? It will not have to be connected to the Internet to work. It will issue the printer an IP address and your Mac will be happy.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
