Share printer on network Windows 7 with Mac OS 10.5

I connected my Win7 PC to my local network and it prints fine on the PC, but I need some assistance getting the printer recognized to print on the eMac running 10.5. Thanks for any help.

Please tell us the printer model.
Confirm - the printer is connected to Windows, and shared from there?

    Joshua,Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The best guide I've seen on this subject is provided by Apple Discussion's user iFelix. In his guides there are numerous Windoze/Mac networking tips and this guide covers printing from an XP box to a printer connected to a G5 running Panther (10.3.x).

  • Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

    Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks.  Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure.  So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network.   Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure.  See my FAQ* on printing:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g.  Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing.  Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible.  The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

  • Using a network-stored catalog with Mac OSX

    Greetings all.
    I am using Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion and want to store my catalog on a local network drive (FreeNAS).  I have encountered many problems while attempting to do this.  Then I noticed in the Elements Organizer help, under the section "Repair a catalog", the following: "Note:  (Mac OS) You cannot access catalogs present on a network drive."
    Is this true. or has someone found a workaround to the problem?
    Thanks!
    --John

    Thanks, for that ( I assume we have to carry on in English due to forum policy even though we are both of German tongue I assume)
    You mean the access problems are part of the "no network drive" thing? I suspected that. Took me a whole day in front of my computer to realign the mess.  So should one better not use the network drives at all? Quite a pity in times where everybody seems to use network storage.
    No, I did not use organizer to use the photos. So there is no way to reconnect them? Should I delete the catalogue and start with the photos from scratch?
    Regards

    Well, yes, these are part of the "no network drive" thing.
    As for moving the photos, did you use organizer to move them? You will always have trouble if you move photos outside of organizer, even on the same drive--you have to let it manage your photos or it doesn't have a clue as to what happened.

    Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5. Am I missing a driver? If so where do I go to download it? thanks

    What's the full model number and name of the printer?  I can't seem to find any HP printer with the numbers 3080 in the model number.
    How are you connecting the printer to the Mac?

  • Is it possible to share assets between a windows and a mac AIR app build with captive runtime on one dvd-rom?

    Hi there,
    I have a question about burning two builds of an AIR desktop app with captive runtime, one for Windows and one for Mac, on a single hybrid DVD-rom that can be played on both Windows computers and Macs.
    I've tried sharing the assets (video's and pdf's mostly) between the two builds, but I can't seem to get it to work. The only way I have been able to work around this, is to have the assets in both builds, which results in the double the amount of space on the DVD-Rom.
    Is there a way to have the two builds use a single location to find the files? Or do I need to have two builds that both contain all the assets?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kinds regards,
    Maarten

    Gotcha!!
    I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
    Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
    I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
    Thanks everyone.

  • Printer Sharing and Windows Sharing with Windows Vista

    Today I tired setting up a printer sharing network over my linksys wireless router. I turned the printer sharing on and the windows sharing on my mac. Then I launched my notebook with vista on it and installed Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3. Once the installation finished I ran the wizard and installed the shared Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer.
    Once I finished the wizard I gave the printer a go.
    I tried printing a word document on my Vista machine using the new wireless set up and nothing happens the printer queue gains the document spools it and then it's gone. Then, I tried using Vistas Sharing set up. After setting up another printer icon (the same printer). When I go to print I get an error message.
    Also when I try accessing my shared folder from my vista machine. I use my Username and password for the login. The computer responds that my Mac Mini's username and password is incorrect. Thus, I cannot fileshare between by Mac Mini and my Vista Laptop
    What can I do to get my printer sharing and my windows sharing set up to work.
    (also, my Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Printer is hooked up to my mac mini through USB).
    Please respond
    Thank you

    Which may also cure the Printer Sharing problem.
    Oh. make sure Printer Sharing IS NOT set on the Mac, if it is turn it off & reboot.

  • Partitioning and Installing Windows 7 with Mac OS X Lion

    Hi
    after failing seriously with the partitioning after installing Win 7, I hope that I will find some help from the scratch...
    I want to install OS X Lion with Win 7.
    3 Partitions with Mac are needed and 1 fro Windows.
    I got 750Gb on my Mac Book Pro.
    Disk should look like this:
    100Gb Main Partition (Mac)
    200Gb Documents Partition (Mac)
    300Gb Stuff and Games (Mac)
    150Gb Windows 7 Partition
    I tried now to create a 100Gb Partition for Mac and a 150Gb Partition for Windows 7.
    After Installing the Mac OS, I was trying to add the 2 other Partitions, but it already telling me that i'm gonna loose my Windows Boot when I change the Partitions. I pressed ok and restarted with the windows 7 DVD for the recovery, which wasn't working due to version incompability -.- (I installed Windows from that DVD)
    What steps should I make to get this to work? Some guys says that it not gonna work, but a friend of min has 3 mac partitions and a windows. Sadly he can't remember the way to this setup
    Thank you for the help

  • Epson printer issues on Windows machines through Mac Mini Leopard

    Trying to print on an Epson CX7800 printer attached via USB to new Mac Mini. Works PERFECTLY when printing natively on the Mac....BUT, after using Bonjour to access on any Windows machine, it installs a "generic PS" driver. It then takes FOREVER to print. Turns out the driver installed on each Windows machine is an HP LASERJET driver. And each time I try to install an actual Epson driver on the Windows machines, NO PRINTING occurs. Anyone know what the deal is? Why is Bonjour loading an HP LASERJET driver for an Epson inkjet? And even though it will print, it is TOO SLOW, making it practically unusable. Thanks....

    The problem of the machines connecting seems to have solved itself today - with one small tweak to the setup.
    I inserted an underscore (_) instead of spaces into the Mac Server name, and although the Windows 7 machines still can't see the server they can now connect using SMB.
    I can't believe something so small kept me so flummoxed for so long....

  • Photo Printing from Networked Windows 7

    My HP Photosmart Printer is  USB connected to a Windows XP machine which is directly attached to the home network.  Also have a Windows 7 64 machine  wirelessly connected to the home network.  The Photosmart printer was added to the windows 7 machine and selected as the default printer and I have no problems printing to it from the Windows 7 machine except that I only recently found out that I cannot select from various photo paper sizes to print photos from the Windows 7 computer.  All various printing programes only give me a limited selection of paper sizes to choose from when configuing the printing - Letter, A4, A5 Envelope, Legal, etc.   The same programs on the XP machine offer the choice of various photo paper sizes to print to.  It seems as though all of the Photosmart configuration options are not available via the Windows 7 computer. Should I try to install the printer on the Windows 7 machine again, directly from a downloaded HP installation file?

    Hi,
    Well, looks like you have to install drivers on the Windows 7 machine (if supported) but I how do we know your printer to find out ?.
    Regards.

  • How to format Windows drive with Mac OS format

    Hello
    I have a Windows 160gb internal drive that is formated in Fat32. I am unable to format this drive with Mac OS X 10.3.9 in order to install Tiger 10.4. When I attempt to format using the Mac OS extended (journaled), I receive an error (sorry I didn't write it down) partition error. If I use the Mac OS extended option I recieve an error that the drive can not be unmounted.
    How can I format this 160gb drive with Mac OS format so that I may install Mac OS X 10.4
    Thank you

    Do the following:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • Can anyone recommend a printer which will actually work with mac 10.4.11 ?

    Hi all! I have had problems getting a printer which will actually work with my macbook 10.4.11. I've tried HP deskjet f4180 (supposed to be compatible) and various lexmarks (no compatible software). Apple and hp, and my local curry's have not been able to assure me which printer will DEFINATELY work. I just wanted to hear from other Mac users with 10.4.11, if they had actually been able to find a printer which works properly. Would be greatful for any recommendations of printer's which are actually compatible with the updated tiger 10.4.11
    Many thanks.
    Crazynow!!

    I read your previous posts, but had just upgraded to 10.4.11 & hadn't check my printers. All 3 of these work: Apple laserwriter 360, Brother HL 1440, and Brother MFC 7820N. I print to all of these wirelessly via airport.

  • [Solved]Cannot connect to Windows Share printer over network.

    I'm having trouble connecting to a windows printer via Samba/CUPS.
    I've loaded the lp module, but I don't know if I need to load the USB or Parallel ports modules, or both or neither, since this is a network print.
    My organization has provided some basic instructions for Mac users. Working off of those, I have a setup with the device URI reading
    DeviceURI smb://ksong8:(password)@ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal?waitjob=false
    For some reason, the printer reports that it cannot connect to the CIFS share, even though it should be configured correctly.
    Even more curiously, I'm able to connect to the share manually with
    smbclient //ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal -U ksong8
    and then entering my password.
    Am I missing something terribly obvious here? I have a sample of logs in debug mode, but they looked okay to me (as well as very verbose), so I won't put them here. I have attached my /etc/cups/printers.conf.

    EDIT: Added myself to sys (somehow missed that on the installation) and did some futzing around with the GUI tools. Got some interesting results, but I need to confirm that they work.

    Solved.
    As it turns out, either CUPS or Samba does not like having special characters in the password inside of /etc/cups/printers.conf. They should be replaced with "%" and the appropriate ASCII hex code for the symbol.
