SAMBA error? Printer on Windows XP

I have downloaded the open driver for my hp d145. When I print it says that it cannot connect SAMBA error. It found the printer on my network (attached to an XP computer), but now doesn't print. Please help if possible.

The Inport.vi and Outport.vi that ship with LabVIEW 6.1 are not supported on XP. This KnowledgeBase discusses the issue. It also includes some ways you can work around that. This should help get you going! Best of luck.

Error printing with Windows 7 even after unistalling old and installing new driver

I recently updated to 64-bit Windows 7 and cannot get my HP OfficeJetJ4580 working after the upgrade. I uninstalled all prior printer drivers and ran the recommended software from the HP site to ensure there were no remaining drivers on my system, then installed the updated drivers for use with WIndows 7. The driver isntallation said it was successfula dn that my printer was ready for use.
When I try to print, the job is sent to the print que. The print que immedialtely notes "Error printing" and deletes the job from the que. The printer never responds or tries to print. This happens with anything I try to print, including a test page. No error message is dispalyed on my screen. The only way I can see the error is by opening up the print que and looking at the pending jobs. I went to the HP support center and downloaded and ran the printer diagnostic sofware they had on there. It could not detect any problems with the printer.
I am at a complete loss as to what to try next.

Hello PPN, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are running into installation issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I'd recommend putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
After the computer has been put in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Error - Printing from Windows Vista to OS 10.5.3

I have an HP Photosmart C3100 printer connected to my iMac by USB, and shared over a wireless network. I have no problems printing from my MacBook to this printer, but when I try to print from a Dell XPS with Windows Vista installed, I receive an error that it was unable to connect to the printer because access was denied.
When I first set up this shared printer on the XPS, I printed a page off the internet to test and it printed fine. Then I restarted the XPS and I can no longer print.

My printer is connected to my Desktop(Windows Vista) via USB and I want to share it to My Macbook(Mac OSX Lion) so that I can print documents wirelessly through my Macbook.

Can't share local printer in Windows 7 Pro-error 0x000006d9

Hello,
I recently purchased a laptop and wanted to share my local printer, attached via USB to my desktop (tower) in my home. My desktop runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
When I try to share my printer, accept the default printer name (or modify it), from the sharing tab of printer properties, I get an error: "printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006d9)".
I did some searching in this forum and via google but this error code does not appear for this type of issue (i.e. printer sharing). Does anyone have any suggestions?
I also verified my Event Viewer and see no errors whatsoever related to printer or network settings or file and printer sharing. I CAN share my files on THIS desktop with the laptop and have already transferred files from the desktop to the laptop successfully. But printer sharing is giving the above error.
** Also, I MAY have a related problem but I am unsure about this, so I wanted to mention this in this same thread in case they are related: I cannot start the homegroup listener service from services on the desktop (win 7 pro) - get error code 2147023143. Homegroups are NOT setup (not created) on neither the laptop nor the desktop. Again, I tried to search for this error code but the results are inconclusive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Its now been THREE YEARS since this "bug" has been discovered and resolved by a user, and there is not one word about it in MS's online help. Today I had this exact issue of not being able to share a printer on Windows 7 with other computers on my
my local network. And this is the same printer I've been sharing with the same network for nearly FIVE YEARS!! I have always used 3rd party virus/firewall software, but I don't disable the windows firewall. Rather I just set it to "Manual"
because some network software seems to need it occassionally. The result is the same however, as is the solution. I had updated and reinstalled my printer software, and apparantly sharing is disabled by default. After stumbling upon this
thread, after several hours wasted searching Windows Help and Microsoft "NON"-Support websites and KB's, I simply ran the firewall just long enough to enable sharing, and instantly the backlog of spoolled print jobs began printing.
Thank you. You would think MS would have at least written this solution into their help files by now ... but than again, they are probably making money with their "paid" support option from all the desperate people who suddenly can't use there printers.
Probably charging $50 just to tell people to turn the firewall on for a few seconds. I can't think of another reason to conveniently omit this simple solution from the "free" support.

HP2600n suddenly stopped printing in Windows 7 system 64-bit--why? No error mes, no system changes

After two months, HP2600n suddenly stopped printing in Windows 7 system 64-bit--why? No error mes, no system changes.
I tried reinstalling the drivers, changing USB ports and cables, printing from Notepad, and disconnecting the printer.
My computer will not let me uninstall the driver software, and I tried downloading the software upgrade to do that.
Printer works with computer running XP.
I am guessing that I need a driver upgrade.
Which one?
Thanks, whoever!

Errors Regarding Printer Updates - Windows 10 Updates

Received notification from Windows 10 regarding new printer updates for my HP printer. I download them and they try to install but continuously fail with the following errors.***********************************************************************************************Hewlett-Packard - Enterprise WSD Multi-Function Printer, Multi-Function Printer, Other hardware - ull Print - HP ENVY 7640 series - Error 0x8024200b HP drive update for Fax - HP ENVY 7640 series - Error 0x80070490 Other Windows 10 updates install without issue. Any ideas?

Hi, fcullision.I have gone about performing the same tasks as you BUT I am only facing one small problem with the Password Utility; it is missing the ,dll file. However, UNLIKE you, I have performed all the updates AFTER installation of Windoww 10. Microsoft ran a compatibility check which indicated that everything about my system was 100% compatibile and I was ready for the update. Even so, the Toshiba Service Station NEVER has indicated there was a task that needed to be performed before (and now after the Windows 10 installation) or since installation. Therefore, I conclude that you CAN perform the necessary installations provided you have updated all required files so the conversion is smooth and flawless.Good luck!Bi-Ill

Print to windows attached printer

Hi!
I am facing a "small" problem here in my home lan. I have to computers connected. One is running Windows XP and has attached an Epson Stylous C60 printer. The other is running redhat 9 (2.4.8-20smp)
I have managed to make thw two boxes "talk" via samba.
$ rpm -q samba
samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0
I can read/write from one box to another without problem. The windows can see the linux through the lan and the linux can see the windous after mounting the share. But the thing I cannot do is print from linux to the windows attached printer.
First of all I checked if the printer is supported redhat and I found out that it is.
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_p...pson-Stylus_C60
So this eliminates the obvious question: Can you print with this printer from linux in the first place?
I've read many things about how to print to windows, like
http://www.idevelopment.info/data/U...tLinuxSMB.shtml
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...mb-printer.html
as well as many stuff from google search But there is no way I can solve my problem. I follow the instructions but still I can't print
I also tried cups
$ rpm -q cups
cups-1.1.17-13
But there too I faced the same proble.
Can someone help me out here because I need that printer. I attach my smb.conf file. Any other information I will be standing by to submit.

Get a mac to print through windows 7

Hi i have a cannon ip4200 connected to a windows 7 pro machine i also own a 15 inch macbook pro with snow Leopard.I am trying to get the mac to print through the win 7 comp but it just keeps coming up with printer paused or failed.
I have shared the printer on the windows side and installed LPD Print Service.
I then installed the printer on the mac side with the share name and the path
Protocol Line Printer Daemon - LPD
Address 192.168.10.100
Queue Default
Name Mick
lpd://192.168.10.100/Micks
Print using Default
I use the default driver as it will not let me continue if i do not.I then change the driver to the correct one Cannon iP4200 but it will just start and then stay on pause i am at a loss please help.
I hope this is enough information if you want more i will be monitoring this site alllllll night thank you.
I also tried to use the Cannon Gutenprint driver 4000 and all i got was the error /usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed

Mick,
I'm not "trying" to be difficult here... If you had read those other posts, you would be trying Samba (abbreviated smb, called Windows sharing in systems prefs) to print to a Windows shared printer (no lpd backend errors from that).
And, you would know that having the exact correct queue name on the server, to enter in Print & Fax LPD setup, is the most common LPD cause of errors. It does appear that your OS X install has a problem with the LPD backend.
And, you would know that the driver for your model from Canon is a USB-only driver, and you'll have to use Gutenprint (Gutenprint drivers are included in OS X, and newer version updates are available here):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
After you've read all the old posts, be patient and the most knowledgeable helper here, PAHU, a fellow Aussie, will probably get to you.
About print servers: The Mac uses industry standard print protocols just as Windows does. If the print server uses TCP/IP, then it will work. There are a handful of print servers that use proprietary protocols, so they usually don't work with Macs. In the case of a print server, remember that you'll again be forced to use a Gutenprint driver, not the Canon one. --this is not a plug from Apple -- The Airport Express has the advantage of using Apple proprietary built-in software to allow you to use your USB-only Canon driver.

Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?

Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?
a) HP printer with USB port only (no ethernet port) connected to Airport Express
b) No issue printing from Macs
Tests
1) Installed Bonjour 2 - does not find printer (now uninstalled)
2) Bonjour 3 is listed in programs but no way to access
3) Using TCPIP address (and no Bonjour) gives 'Unsupported Personality' error when printing test page
Regards
Richard
p.s. why are all Windows 8.1 questios n the forum 'Locked' with no reply?

This is possible, but not with Bonjour or any other fixes. It is just a printer set up based on the Port name of the Airport, 10.0.1.1.
I found the answer on YouTube, Title: Windows Printing For Apple AirPort Extreme without Bonjour Wireless wifi.

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

Can't print over network get message "Error Printing" in message Queue

Hi,
I have 3 machines, xp, vista and windows 7. I have 2 printers that are configured to print through the network
1. OfficeJet Pro L7680
2. PhotoSmart C7180
For all 3 computers I can go to the web configurations for the printers (so I know the network settings are correct). Windows finds the printer and properly installs the drivers using the TCP/IP network port.
I can only print to the PhotoSmart from the Vista computer. I can't print from the XP or Windows 7 machine, I can't printer to the OfficeJet Pro from any computer.
Both printers work on all computers via USB port.
when I try to print a test page the job stays in the print queue and gets a message "Error Printing".
The funny part is that the computer can communicate with the printers and get the ink levels no problem.
I have been banging my head on the wall and cannot figure it out.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ara

I think I figured it out after torchering my self for weeks.
I had my computers and printers hooked up directly or wireless through a linksys WRT610N router. I decided to add a linksys switch right after the router and plugged the computer and printers in through the switch and now it works.
This is very strange, there must be somekind of incompatibility with the WRT610N router that is causing the problem, it works but refused to print for some reason. I tried changing settings in the router but haven't got it to work.
Any clues on what it could have been with the router?
Thanks,
Ara

Activation error: Printer not activated, error code 20

I have had my officejet 4215 all-in-one printer well over a year and it has connected and printed whatever I wanted. Yesterday when I wanted to print an email it would not and the following box popped up: Activation error: Printer not activated, error code 20. Then the next box that popped up said: Printer Error An unknown error occurred while printing.
If I copy the email over to a Microsoft Windows page, then i can print it fine.
Any idea how to fix this so I can print email's like I used to?
Rey

What operating system? What email program are you trying to print from?

HP Laserjet pro mfp m125nw not printing on windows 7

I have attempting to install this printer on my Windows 7 PC both as a wireless printer and as a straight USB connection .
with wireless turned off.
Although the implementation always appears to execute successfully I am not able to print from the PC.
No errors are displayed and when doing a test print the print output appears for a split second in the printer's print queue and almost immediately is deleted and disappears.
I have turned the firewalls off (Norton 360 and Windows Defender) while doing all this but still no success.
I have run a variety of printer diagnostics (Windows Fixit, HP Print and Scan Doctor) and they all indicate everything is setup correctly.
I then attempted to install on a 2nd PC with Windows 8. This successfully installed 1st time and have now installed both as a wireless networked printer and as a USB standalone connection and everything works fine without any problems.
I don't understand why I can't successfully install on my PC with Windows 7 - in particular as a standalone USB connection.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Hi @DavidJS ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing from the Windows 7 computer over a wireless connection and USB connection, but the Windows 8 computer is working. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
Clear the Spool folder and restart the Print Spooler. How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
Try printing again.
Try these steps for printing over the wireless network.
I would power cycle everything.
Turn the printer and computer off.
Disconnect the power cable on the router for 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable again.
Turn the computer on, then the printer.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Print out a configuration page to find out what the printer's IPv4 address is.
Check the port showing on the computer, to make sure it matches.
From Devices and Printers, right click the printer and left click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
Click on configure port to view the IP address.
If the IP address doesn't match then create a new port with the new IP address.
Close the configure port window.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.
