Setting up an HP printer through a cisco router

A friend has just bought a new ibook converting over from the PC world and is trying to set up his HP Deskjet 9300 printer to work with a cisco router. The printer works when set up directly to his G4 ibook but not through the router. We have set the IP addressess so we are getting the router wlan light to flash but the lan light does not come on. I think the problem may be what we have entered in the info fields but but cannot find any information to set me straight. I will be heading over this evening to try to help him again so if anyone has some info that will help it will be appreciated - Thanks in advance

  • How do I add a printer on my iPad through a Cisco router

    Having problems getting my iPad to hook up printers through a Cisco router

    So your printer is hooked up through your router, I suppose, but you can't print with an iPad like that.
    You need an AirPrint printer to print from an iPad, iPhone..... device.
    They have a list of printers you can buy and print from your "i" device on apple.com

  • DNP / SCADA through a Cisco Router ??

    Hello,
    Is there any way to transport scada data over a cisco router.
    thanks

    Thanks for the reply,
    I guess I need to do some additional home work on the subject. I was thinking of implementing BSTUN to see if this would work. I am not sure that the scada devices talk ethernet. I think they are serial devices only. But more research on my end is needed.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Printing from a Mac to a Windows XP printer through a wireless router

    I have searched through many posts and still cannont come up with an answer.
    I have a Lexmark X5100 printer connected to an XP PC in my home. My iMac is recieving internet wirelessly from a router connected to the PC. I am trying to figure out how to print from my iMac to the printer connected to the PC. I have turned on printer sharing on the PC and the Mac, and when I go to the Printer Setup Utility>Add Printer>More Printers>Windows Printing>mshome, it gives me a list of printers, but none of these printers is the one that I want to print to.
    I have also tried windows printing via SAMBA, but the printer driver is not listed in the menu, even though I installed it from the internet.
    Am I able to print to this printer wirelessly, or is this just an impossible task?
    iMac 2 GHz 20' Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2 GB RAM

    I just went thru this with an HP Wireless Printer 6980. I had to originaly set up the printer with Windows. Once I had the windows machine working wirelessly with the printer ; I installed the software that came with the printer to the iMac. After the software was successfully installed ; I went to Utilities , and Printer set-up Utility and the iMac found the wireless printer and all I had to do was add it to the list at that point. It can work .... but it did take some trial and error to get it working. Good Luck !!

  • F110 printing through a separate printer

    Hi Guys,
    How to set up F110 check prints through a different printer other than the local printer. Also does anyone knows how to install drivers in in SAP server so that users can slect different printers. I know its a basis issue. There is no Basis resource available at this time.

    Hi Kappy,
    Ok, so I've looked into the matter further, and here is what I've found:
    Firstly, I think I was wrong when I said earlier that the connection to the printer is ipp. Basically, I plugged into the ethernet port for the main office network (bypassing the router), and I could access a web interface for the printer at
    http://printerhostname.local
    This web interface gives an IP address. So I started the Printer Setup Utility and tried to add the printer using the given IP address under 'IP Printer.' When I did this I was able to find the printer (the right model number showed up), and add it to my printer list. However when I tried to send print jobs it didn't work! However, when plugged in directly via ethernet, the printer shows up under 'Bonjour' printers. When I selected this printer, I could send print jobs without any problems. What I take from this is that the printer is not actually setup with IP printing; does that seem like a reasonable conclusion?
    About connecting the router to the ethernet port for the main office network, I'm actually connected directly via an ethernet cable, however I'm plugged into the WAN port (I access the internet through the main office network). Is it important that the connection is through the WAN port and not one of the four LAN ports? Sorry if I was unclear about the whole setup earlier.
    Thanks again - I really appreciate the help,

  • Trying to print through Linksys router

    Hey there,
    I'm trying to get a co-worker's Macbook to print through the Linksys router we have set up in the office, but it's proving to be more difficult than I imagined.
    I've located the printer through System Preferences, and strangely enough she DOES have Internet access (browser, mail, etc), however printing doesn't want to work for some reason.
    Has anyone had experience networking Macs with Linksys routers? And if so, how can we get the Macbook to print through it?
    Any advice is very appreciated.

    hey, i did have the same problem for a while, i had a linksys router setup through a print server. if your printing through a print server, make sure that it has a static IP address and then just put in the information in the printers folder.
    if your not using a print server, try enabling windows sharing, printer sharing and personal file sharing in system preferences > sharing folder.

  • Problem installing hp 8600 plus to laptop after installing wireless on desktop via cisco router!

    After installing the printer successfully on my desktop wireless through the cisco router I attempted to add my laptop a hp G60-635DX notebook. After installing the printer I got a message that a driver cannot be found! I called cisco and they offered online help for a $ 69.00 contract for 1 year! Looking for cheaper alternative!!!

    Does the Asaro run DHCP?  If so, turn off all access points except the one running DHCP and connect the printer.  Then you can turn on the other APs.

  • Need Help w Collobos Fingerprint through a WRT150N Router

    I would very much appreciate any expert advise I can get regarding using the Collobos Fingerprint software through my WRT150N router. I'm using Windows XP SP3 and immediatly after installing (which went extreamy well) it immediatly found and listed all of my home network printers. All of the wired and wireless windows based systems in my house can see and print to the printers without any problem. However, getting ANY of my apple devices (iPad, iPhone etc ) to print will not even show them as listed on the device when I select print on the devices. Collobos says that I have to make sure that Ports UDP 5353 doe Bonjour and TCP 6361 for FingerPrint need to be open both ways for it to work (http://collobos.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/66995-required-ports).
    I have no problem getting into the router settings and have set them up as stated above in Port Range Triggering and enabled. Also made sure Filter Multicast was not check marked in Security. Unfortunatly, that doesn't seem to work as I had hoped.
    If anyone has this software up and printing through a LInksys router, I sure wouold appreciate knowing how you did it! Or any other ideas you experts may have.
    Thank You all for reading and trying to help!
    Mac

    I want to thank the kind people that replied and spent a moment to try and help. I thought I might get more from this large forum full of so many experts.
    I have been troubleshooting the problem with the very limited help files provided by the Program Collobos Fingerprint. The most important factor they failed to mention was that it is necessary to have a wired connection to the router. As soon as I connected the computer, (old laptop) that had their software installed, printing began immediately since I had already put in the settings they recommended.
    FYI, the works very well even though the prints are large. Even if a photo is lets say 3"x5", it will print full page. I can print anything that the idevice application will prompt printing for. Have printed from our iPod, iPads, iPhone. Anyone else I have let into my home network which have iDevices can print also. My printers are not wifi nor Airprint capable. They are connected via an old HP Print Direct Parallel box with ethernet to the router. Never thought anything would work, but now am able to print everything.
    I again want to thank the people that replied!
    Forum Administrator, you can close and clear this thread  since it will more than likely not be of any help to others.

  • How do I set up my hp laserjet printer through Cisco router?

    I'm using my HP Laserjet 4000TN printer for my entire network.  I need to be able to use it with all my computers.  So I usually plug it into the modem via Cat5 cord and it grabs an IP address which I add in System Preferences and I'm good to go.  However, I recently had to change my network.  I now use a DSL modem as basically a dumb hub.  Which then goes into a Cisco 800 series router.  From there I need to be able to plug my computer into that router and then see it on both of my computers.  (What's the point of having a home network if you can't print from it from any computer on the network?)
    I was told to assign it a static IP address of 192.168.7.5.  However, when I do this on my computer it doesn't seem to be going through to the printer.  Whenever I try to print a test page it does not work.
    It is grabbing IP address 192.168.7.22.  However, when I enter this as the printer on the computer it is also not printing a test page.  Very frustrating.  I am unsure if this is the perfect forum for this as obviously it's the Cisco router that has changed and therefore it's not really a Mac issue.  But I am unsure where else to turn.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I found the solution.  I was using WEP encryption and I needed to be using WPA encryption.

  • How do I set up the system to print 4x6 labels via paypal and ebay using a DYMO 4XL Thermal Label Printer (through airport)?

    We bought a DYMO Label Writer 4XL. We want to print thermal labels from our Mac and PC, wireless. The good thing is that I already have the printer set in the network and added on each of our computers (Mac and Windows 8). For printing regular labels you can use the Dymo software; for printing postage labels from ebay or paypal has been impossible.
    From ebay I even tried one label at the time but still did not work.  I sent the the print command from the mac-print-window, changing each of the settings (such as paper size) but did not work. Each time (no matter if you want to print one label only) it advances more than one lable.

    Through Paypal is a different story. It should be easy cause it seems the Zebra Driver in Paypal works with this DYMO. The issue is how to get the system to send the print command to the DYMO printer through the Zebra LP2488? please help! I know some people have succeded making all these work. What am I missing?

    To whomever is reading this post I just wanted to let you know I returned the Dymo 4XL. Their customer service is horrible. Technical support does not exist at all. The issue was extremely frustrating and time consuming. I do not recommend this thermal printer at all. Good luck finding one... if you do, please share.

    Is there a cd that came with the printer?
    If so, put in the cd and that will help you set it up.
    If not, I think macs come with a program that helps you set up printers.
    Also make sure that the printer is connected to the same network.
    Make sure the printer is on.

  • Printing through a Windows computer.

    I'm working on a 1GHz Power Mac G4 desktop that is connected with Ethernet to a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router. The printer is connected to a Dell Dimension 4300 by USB. The question for me is, even though I can get the printer to show up in my printer search list, I can't get anything to print off of it. Does anyone know a possible solution? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions about details or anything, just leave me a message. Thanks for your help!

    I have a Mac Mini running Leopard and I print through a Windows XP computer with printer sharing turned on. My printer is a Samsung ML-1710.
    The printer shows up in the network as expected, but initially I had a problem in which the job was sent, the printer spun up then stopped dead.
    I tracked the problem to the driver setting on the Mac, which had defaulted to Generic Postscript Printer. Since Leopard had no driver for the ML-1710, I got it from the Samsung website, installed it, and changed the print driver to the proper one. Then it worked fine.
    I guess the important thing is that you are running the correct driver for the printer, as unlike WinXP, it doesn't install a network printer driver for you.

  • How To Set Up Your Unsupported Printer

    I managed to get my unsupported printer working, and I'd thought I'd share my experience.
    This guide will help you achieve:
    Installation of unsupported printers.
    Setup of "print services" on network.
    A litte background: I have an Okidata C3200n, it's a GDI printer, and relies heavily on the manufacturer dirvers to function correctly on any operating system. Unfortunately for me (and many others) it seems that Okidata has been dragging their feet when it came to publishing drivers in preparation for Lion. They sent out an official announcement (OKI Printer Driver Compatibility with Mac OS X Lion - Revision 1.6) which details expected release dates for various printers. Mine won't be until mid-December, or so. Major bummer there. I use this printer for my daily business in my company, and can't go without it for more than a few days, so waiting until December is clearly not an option.
    Having experienced Okidata tech support in the past, and having worked with them to get my printer running on Linux before there was a Linux driver available, I decided to give them a call to see if they would have a work-around, perhaps with some opensource drivers, to tide users over until then. Their response was that I need to down-grade to Snow Leopard, or get a new printer. Some customer support that is. They drag their feet in developing drivers, then ask us to inconvenience ourselves until they get their act together -- not acceptable.
    So, having been through this before in Ubuntu, I remember Foomatic CUPS print drivers. This is where the almost pain-less solution comes in. This process does involve some command-line work, but I'll try to spell everything out as clearly as possible here.
    Log on to your LION server (or desktop, but in my situation I am setting up a network printer) using your admin account (I use Local Admin, but your setup may vary).
    Download Foomatic-RIP and Ghostscript for Mac and install them: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/foomat ic
    Locate your printer: http://www.openprinting.org/printers
    If you printer page lists a driver for download, go ahead and install it. You should be good to go and the driver should be available to use on LION. If your printer lists a Filter (in my case foo2hiperc), continue reading.
    Download WGET to your Downloads folder from here: http://www.techtach.org/wget-prebuilt-binary-for-mac-osx-lion.
    Download and install Mac Ports from here: Mac Ports for Lion.
    Download and install XCode from the AppStore: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id448457090?mt=12
    Open Terminal and enter the following:
    sudo port install gsed
    cd ~/Downloads
    wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz   sdff  
    tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
    cd foo2zjs
    make
    sudo make install (you may need to enter your admin password at this time, it will prompt you if you do)
    sudo make cups
    Now, if everything went well (if you didn't see any error messages), we're all done with command-line. Let's get your printer up and running. Open Safari and browse to http://localhost:631. This is your CUPS printer admin area (why Apple didn't make a full-fledged server admin GUI I have no idea). You may need to authenticate, again with your local admin user.
    Click on the Administration tab, then click the Add Printer button.
    Choose your printer. If it is not listed, select the appropriate protocol. (I like using IPP.)
    If you selected a protocol, enter the destination details here. For example you may need to enter your printer's IP address. Then click Continue.
    Now you can name your printer to something readable and friendly, as well as give it a location, if you have multiple printers in different rooms or buildings. Be sure to check "Share this printer." to make it available to all your networked LION client machines. Again, press Continue when ready.
    On this screen you will be selecting the driver for your printer. Click the Select Other Manufacturer button, and select the manufacturer of your printer and hit Continue. You will now see a list of updated drivers. One of these should be the foomatic or foo2hiperc driver we just installed. Highlight the corresponding driver for your printer, and click the Add Printer button.
    Lo and behold, you now have a networked printer set up on your server. I know what you're thinking now ... you're dreading having to do this on all of the client machines as well, right? Luckily, this is where I think the hidden genius of Apple lies. They know why they dropped support for custom drivers. By using CUPS server on the LION clients as well, they can speak to the server directly in CUPS native language, leaving the server to interpret how it needs to be sent to the printer. GENIUS!
    You should now be able to scurry on over to your LION client machine and see the shared printer available to install. It will automatically install itself and the driver it needs without hastle.
    I would like to give credit to my brother Sebastian Bronner, who helped me find the right resources. I put these steps together based on the instructions at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/foomat ic and http://foo2hiperc.rkkda.com/, made available by the OpenSource community.
    Please let me know if you have any issues or questions, and if this solution helped you.
    Best of luck,
    ~Mike

    Thanks for this - I also have an OKI (a C5500) and this is a Godsend as I would struggle to replace it.
    A couple of comments:
    Points 6 and 7 should be switched - MacPorts wouldn't install until XCode was installed. You my also want to expand the XCode instructions to say that the App Store link downloads the installer and that you need to go into Launchpad and run it to fully install XCode.
    The gsed installation also popped up and asked me to install Java (through Software Update). I did this and the installation of gsed continued and completed succesfully.
    If wget is in the Downloads folder, the command you have to use it in point 8 should be prefaced with ./ as it's the local folder it will run from.
    You have an extraneous line right below the wget command (sdff).
    Otherwise, this is a really excellent procedure.
    Many thanks,
    Des
