Shared HP laserjet P1005 inaccessible over WAN

Good day to all the peeps here, I'm a newbie and I am having problems with my hp printer. I can't access or add my Shared hp laserjet p1005  on my home network thru WAN? Please i need help about this! Is there a network configuration that i should do? I have another printer that is also shared and i can access it thru WAN, but the HP laserjet P1005 is inaccessible... Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance... 

Thanks for the reply Sir Shane_R, and im so sorry to give you quite of the details about the problem. Here are the details:
We are using 3 HP laserjet P1005 in 3 different Remote locations (3 different cities here in Saudi Arabia).
All 3 of these locations have different (workgroup names) namely Rumailah, Compuh, and MCTEK.
Rumailah workgroup has 2 computers, and 2 shared printers which are an epson LQ-680 Dot matrix printer and an HP Laserjet P1005 connected on a Dell PC which has Windows XP Professional SP3 installed on it . The other PC has Windows 7 OS and it can print from the shared printer in this network locally.
Second location is Compuh workgroup and has an HP laser P1005 which is shared on a 4 node network. 1 Server 2003, and 3 Windows XP. Printing locally has no problem.
Third location is MCTEK has an HP laserjet P1005 also directly connected to a PC which has a Windows 7 OS installed and it is also shared.
FIrewalls are turned off.
We're using Remote Desktop Protcol on these network to communicate which each of these computers. We are also using a database software which is installed only on the Server in (Compuh) workgroup.  My problem is I can't install or add these HP laserjet printers from any pc on any of these workgroups thru RDP on the Server (adding printers on the server using RDP session). Adding and printing from (Rumailah), using the RDP session and the Database software from the server (Compuh) with the Epson LQ-680 didn't have problems.

  • Sharing an iTunes Library over WAN?

    Sorry if this question has been asked before but my searching of the forum here has only seemed to turn up questions and anwswers on sharing over a local network. Here is my question.
    Is it possible to share an iTunes library over the internet? And if so, how? If it isn't I'd like to know so I can stop trying to track down how to do this.
    I have a Titanium G4 at home running iTunes 6.01 using a cable modem and router. The router firewall has been setup with the proper ports for iTunes and FTP (FTP works fine). My work computer is a G5 running iTunes 6.01 connected via a DSL modem/router.
    I have no other issues connecting to my home computer from work, but I can't see my shared music at home on my work computer.
    Thanks for any info.

    Issue solved. Here is what I did. I setup my Mac at home so I could connect at work. Inside the iTunes library on my work Mac I created an alias to the iTunes Music folder on my home Mac. Since my library at home and work are exactly the same iTunes on my work Mac sees a local library file but is streaming the music over WAN from my Mac at home.
    The are some stops and starts as the connection is over WAN, but it's pretty smooth. Do not know what will happen if I need to add or subtract from the library on either Mac.
    Just bringing this to the front in case anyone is interested in trying it themselves.

  • Bonjour & disk sharing over WAN -Expert/Genius help required

    *Goal: Learn how to connect to my USB hard disk over WAN, share drive with specific people.*
    I'm trying to figure out how to remotely access my data on the external drive via connected via USB to my AEBN.
    I've spent several hours dinking around with my router, trying to see if I can access the drive over the WAN. I haven't found any manuals, discussions, or K-Base articles that spell it out for me. Below is a list of things I've done. Please indicate whether they are relevant, and if possible what the procedure is. Thanks:
    Conditions: I have a static IP address and through the DHCP tab I have assigned all attached machines a static LAN IP address.
    *1. Airport>Base Station: Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port.* I've checked this box and can remotely admin my AEBN from my PC laptop (XP) via the Airport Utility.
    *2. Airport>Access Control: MAC Address Access Control.* I didn't know if this would help or hurt anything so I added the MAC address for all ethernet and wireless ports connected to my network and given unlimited or untimed access. +No noticeable difference.+
    *3. Internet>DHCP: DHCP Reservations.* As mentioned above in conditions, I've assigned an internal IP address for each device's ethernet and wireless ports, based on the MAC address. +Seems like this and Access Control are redundant except for the time settings.+
    *4. Disks>File Sharing:* Enable file sharing is checked, with accounts (configured), "Share disks over ethernet WAN port" is also checked, as is "Advertise disks globally using Bonjour". Not sure what to put in the bottom two fields (Workgroup and WINS Server) so they're blank.
    *5. Advanced>Port Mapping:* I've assigned ports to my iMac for gaming and SSH access but I don't think these would effect the USB disk would they?
    *6. Advanced>Bonjour:* "Use a wide-area hostname" is checked. My LAN network name is in the Hostname field, for Domain I just typed my WAN IP address, and I put something in for Name and Password.
    I'd love any assistance to figure this out.
    Lastly, how does Bonjour help over the WAN? Is there some sort of Bonjour application I open log-in, like FTP client software?

    Since this discussion has now been resurrected...
    The advice provided by chrisfenix will allow you to access the Airport drive from a PC on your private LAN.
    The preceding discussion, however, was on the topic of accessing the Airport drive remotely over the internet. To do that, you could still use the advice provided by chrisfenix but substitute the public IP address of the Base Station. To find that out (and answer a question posed earlier in this discussion as well) just go to http://whatismyip.com/ from any computer on your own network.
    To answer a question posed by the originator of this discussion - Bonjour is not at all necessary for remote access of the Airport drive. Those people who know how to use this feature will know what it is for and how to implement it - the rest of us can just pretend this feature doesn't exist.

  • Where to place files and folder in shared disk over WAN

    Hello, I have a new Airport Time Capsule 3TB and I want to share my disk over WAN for remote accessing.
    When I log to the server with my MacBook or iPhone, I see "Data" folder, and inside it I see my Time Machine backups.
    My question is: where, -in the Time Capsule disk-, do I have to place the files / folders that I want to share over WAN. I am afraid to damage or corrupt my Time Capsule backups.
    Thank you in advance.

    It is not possible to partition the Time Capsule drive.....unless you.....
    Pull the drive from the Time Capsule case....(voids the warranty)
    Install the drive in a separate enclosure or caddy
    Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
    Use Disk Utility to partition the drive
    Reinstall the drive back in the Time Capsule
    This is a lot of work....and should best be left to a technician.
    All things considered, it would be better if you dedicated the Time Capsule for Time Machine backups only...and added another drive for your shared file needs, but few users seem willing to do this.

  • Accessing a shared USB over WAN from a Windows computer

    Hello,
    I cannot seem to find any documentation on how a Windows computer can remotely access the Airport Extreme's shared disks. I have turned on sharing over WAN and my Airport Extreme has a static, addressable IP on the web.
    Can anyone provide me a link or a pointer on how to do this?
    Thanks!

    BUMP! No one?

  • Sharing Airport Extreme with attached HD over WAN to Windows

    So I've never gotten this to work. I have three external HD's attached to my airport extreme, the extreme is set to share over WAN, and any Mac can connect with zero problem using AFP. However, I've never had a Windows computer connect successfully using Samba. I have connected over LAN on windows just fine (not with Samba, of course, just with the built in windows systems) but I've never had anyone using Samba be able to connect from over the web.
    Has anyone else had this work? Any guidance to offer? A friend of mine said the Samba port (445) was closed on my IP - because this is being shared via the Extreme, I can't very well set port forwarding to deal with this issue, so I'm clueless. Help!

    Your drive is most likely formatted with NTFS, which the Mac and the Airport will both read, but not write to.
    The drive needs to be Mac formatted.

  • Unable to install HP Laserjet P1005 on a Windows 7 64-bit OS system

    I have attempted to install both the full package and just the driver for an HP Laserjet P1005 local printer to my personal PC which I updated the OS to MS WIndows 7, 64-bit version numerous times and I have been unsuccessful each time. On each attempt to run the installer, whether it be the full version or just the driver, and you come to the point in the installation process where you are to plug in your local printer's USB cable to your PC I keep encountering an error message indicating that the USB device is not recognized. A further investigation reveals that there is in fact an unknown device. I click on this and I encounter a Microsoft generated message which indicates the following information - Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
    The following Microsoft web site - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123 
    has the following Recommended resolution
    One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.
    If you have already run the Troubleshooting Wizard, you might want to check the hardware documentation for more information about diagnosing the problem.
    Well, I went through all of the above recommended actions and I got nowhere. I went back on the web and did some further research. This time I found the following information at the following HP web page -http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-59850-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=1060&product=3435668

    WendyM: I seem to have EXACTLY the same problem...
    - New Sony Vaio with Windows 7 Home Basic 64bit factory installed
    - HP LaserJet P1005 as a local printer
    - P1005 was first installed on the Vaio using the original install CD and sort of worked
    - worked OK for the installing user but only intermittently for the other user
    - both users had problems with the printer queue locking up in various situations (only solution was to reboot)
    - decide to try and update the installation of the printer
    - downloaded both the driver files you speak of from HP
    - small Plug and Play file (c4Mb) got into endless loop when trying to pre-install drivers and had to be killed
    - large full installation file (c167Mb) also failed to install properly
    - tried uninstalling and rebooting various times after various failed attempts to get this full package to work.
    - situation now is that the P1005 is simply uninstallable on the Vaio but continues to work fine on two XP machines (see below)
    - a detail: when the P1005 is plugged into any machine (Vaio or XPs) USB reports that it could run faster if it was on a USB 2.0 port
    - this seems to be a strange message on a 2010 Sony Vaio which obviously has USB 2.0 ports
    - stranger yet, the XPs are completely unaffected by this message, and print to the P1005 normally, as they always have
    The XP machines:
    - One XP machine is an old 2006 HP Pavilion
    - The other XP machine is a 2009 Acer netbook
    - both machines with their original factory installed XPs, and both regularly updated
    - the P1005 is a local printer on all machines
    - each machine is plugged into it when printing is needed and the 2 XP machines always connect and print, regardless of the USB speed message
    - the P1005 even works from the XPs via an unpowered USB physical hub with a USB mouse connected as well
    HP really seem to have gotten themselves into a rather shameful mess over their printer drivers. In the year 2010 it seems insane that plugging a printer into a computer is so stunningly complex.
    Indeed HP seems to be going rapidly backwards. The Vaio was bought to replace the old 2006 Pavilion (an excellent machine which has never put a foot wrong despite the most intensive use, and which continues to work fine if a little slowly in comparrison to the newer machines) because when we saw the HP replacement we were so repelled by its awful ergonomics, physical appearance, and ragged construction (raw metal edges round the front corners!) in comparisson to the Pavilion that we didn't need any convincing to buy the wonderfully constructed Vaio. Now we discover that a printer that works fine on XPs is unusable on Windows 7. A strange form of progress indeed.
    For many years I revered the quality of HP products. No longer I'm afraid. The Pavilion became a Vaio. I wonder what will take the place of the P1005 (I am actually being extremely restrained about the P1005 because it compares miserably with its sturdy predecessor: our sadly missed HP LaserJet 1010),

  • Apple took away my printer's drivers (HP Laserjet P1005) in Mavericks. What should I do?

    I own a HP Laserjet P1005 that's shared in a wireless network, used by 2 pcs, a Macbook and several iPhones. All of them can print normally, only my Macbook doesn't. It lists the network and recognize the printer, but Mavericks took away the drivers from the list, leaving only two options: HP Deskjet Series and HP Laserjet Series PCL 4/5. I've chosen both PCL Generic and PostScript Generic too, and the PCL 4/5 option, none of them work. It adds the printer, but when I try printing, a dialog box opens and it keeps asking for a password, while I'm a guest in the network, so, it's unecessary (it has been always this way, no trouble whatsoever). BTW, back in Lion there was a comprehensive list, including my printer model. Now the drivers for my specific printer model are gone and I can't configure it without them. What should I do?

    This didn't help me.  I have a trusty old HP Deskjet 832c that was not included in http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907.   But downloading the Gutenprint 5.2.9 driver fixed the problem:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php     (It's the first one listed under Downloads.)
    Note:  I read elsewhere you should begin by resetting the printer system to purge it of any old drivers, so I did that first.  Here is how to do it:

  • Time Capsule 2TB missing "Share Disks over WAN" option

    I bought a time capsule about a month ago. Setup was no problem. Have a MobileMe account. Successfully setup remote access using MobileMe. Needed to select "Share Disks Over WAN" under the file sharing tab which is under the disk tab in setup in order to make it work.
    Bought another time capsule yesterday and trying to setup in another location. This model does not have that "Share Disks Over WAN" option. Am I missing something? Did Apple make a change? I am not able to access this new drive remotely now, even with my MobileMe account active.

    "As I write this, I am using my wife's iPad to browse files and folders on the Time Capsule disk. I can switch over to the disk attached to the AirPort Extreme with a single tap."

  • Share printers over WAN

    Hello,
    I'm in the process of testing the print sharing over WAN capabilities of my TC 1GB. I believe everything is setup properly, and using 'back to my mac' I can indeed see the TC while tethered to my iPhone... though I'm not sure if 'back to my mac' has anything to do with sharing printers over WAN.
    Overview:
    TC > Printers > Shared Name (printer is showing up nicely and can print via LAN without issue)
    TC > Printers > Share printers over WAN (checked)
    TC > Printers > Share printers over internet using Bonjour (checked) (this prompted me to create a dynamic global host name)
    TC > AirPort > Time Capsule > edit... > "Use dynamic global host name" (checked) (and all related info)
    *Network Setup:*
    Cable Modem > TC > wired and wireless clients
    When I use my iPhone tethered to my mac book pro, I do see the TC, but when I open the system preferences > printer & fax > I don't see any bonjour printers (should I be able to see it here?)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No one has any idea?

  • Struggling to find Share over WAN

    iCloud does now support BTMM
    This seems to be a changing situation.  The electronic book Take Control of iCloud v1.1 (from December 2011) says "An earlier version of this book incorrectly stated that Back to My Mac also lets you access files on an AirPort Disk or Time Capsule using your iCloud credentials. Although that was true with MobileMe, it’s no longer supported in iCloud."  However, this Apple document (last modified 23 March 2012) says "If you update your Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme Base Station to firmware 7.6.1 or later, you can access your Time Capsule volume or the shared storage connected to your AirPort Extreme Base Stations when your computers are on different local networks."  Apparently an update to that electronic book is being prepared.

  • Share disks over WAN setup AEBS 802.11ac

    I am trying to share a usb HDD over my home network that I can access outside of my network. I have read some answers in these communities and followed their instructions, but no resolution.

    This is the main router. I have forwarded 548. I am trying to use the public Ip from ISP. I have am connecting from a windows machine. Can I still connect through icoud?
    Ok, there are several things wrong here.
    1. If the AE is the main router you do not port forward.. you simply tick that hard disk will have wan access.
    In the airport utility you tick, share disk over WAN.
    Now I don't have the new AC model but I expect it will be the same.
    2. The public IP from the ISP is generally dynamic and keeps changing.. unless you pay for a static IP. It is hard to get dyndns working for the AE.. I used to think impossible but Tesserax has been able to do it.
    3. Windows cannot access the AE using AFP protocol.. when you tick the share disk with wan.. only AFP protocol is exposed.. because it is reasonably secure.. SMB (windows) protocol is not shared with WAN ever.. it is only shared in LAN.. and most ISP block the ports due to the internet containing several zillion windows computers with sharing turned on and no security.. The entire internet would collapse if they allowed SMB.
    AFAIK there is no suitable AFP file access software for windows.. although you might have a solution to that.
    Port 548 mentioned is AFP.. not SMB.
    Only the Mac can access the AE hard disk.. so using BTMM makes good sense.
    4. The only way I would recommend you attempt remote access via windows is using a vpn router.. and put the AE into bridge mode and access directly via vpn to the whole network.. this is a professional solution and is the way any buisness would do it. It is secure and any computer or ipad or iphone with vpn client can access the network.

  • Share disks over wan

    Hi All
    I am having this problem with my TC (firmware 7.6.4):
    If I tick "Share disks over wan" I can not access the disk from outside my network
    If I untick it, then I can access the disk from remote.
    It is like it is inverted.
    Am I the only one?
    Thanks

    Using BTMM there is no need to tick share disk to WAN..
    The BTMM is a connection through the NAT to the local LAN of your network. When you tick the share disk to WAN it messes that up.. although I cannot remember that being the case.
    Maybe they fiddled around again in 7.6.4 and changed it.
    Anyway it is not really an issue.. just set to what works for you.
    As you can see the instructions for setting up BTMM do not say anything about sharing the disk over wan.

    How to set up your AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Time Capsule for Back to My Mac
    Make sure you are on the same local area network as the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Time Capsule that you wish to configure.
    For OS X: In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu, then open AirPort Utility.  (You should be using AirPort Utility v6.3 or later).
    Select your AirPort base station.
    If the AirPort base station you wish to configure is not shown, click "Other AirPort base stations" and select the AirPort base station you wish to configure for use with Back to My Mac. This may require choosing a different Network Interface from the pop-up menu.
    Click Edit.
    Enter the base station password if prompted (not your iCloud password).
    Select the Base Station tab.
    Enter your iCloud user name and password in the Back to My Mac section. You should see a green status indicator.
    Click Update to save your changes.
    You use share a disk with WAN to directly access the TC via AFP. That is alternative method of access.
    See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413 for details of the different methods of access.

  • Share disks over wan option missing

    I have a Time Capsule (firmware 7.6.1) I am setting up with the Airport Utility (version 6.1).  I am trying to share the internal drive (or even a drive connected through the USB port) externally on the internet so that I can access files remotely.  I keep reading about an option to "share disks over WAN" that is supposedly on the "Disks" page of the Airport Utility.  The problem is, this option is not present - at least not for me.
    The "Disks" page has a list of partitions, a button to "Erase Disk", a checkbox to "Enable file sharing", and a drop-down called "Secure Shared Disks" - that's it for options.
    Any ideas why I don't see this option?

  • How to access Time Capsule drives behind DSL Router over WAN

    Hello everyone,
    I have an older Time capsule(with USB Drive) connected to my Hitron CGN3 DSL wireless router over ethernet. 
    I have turned off the wireless functionality of the TC since the router seems to be much faster on Speedtest.net. 
    I have my TC and attached USB drive setup to share over WAN but am getting a Double NAT error.
    It doesn't seem like I can turn off NAT on my Router.
    I can't run the TC in bridge mode because it will remove the Share over WAN option for the TC and Drive.
    Is it possible to setup the TC and attached USB drive to the router, without wireless on, so that I can access the TC and drive over the internet?
    Any help would be soooooo apreciated!!!
    Thanks!
    Ian

    Does anyone know why my Time Capsule drive sharing needs to be set to disk password?
    You can set the TC disks to user accounts.. at least you can on older TC with older airport utility.. but there are consequences which you discovered.
    If you set accounts.. you will have major issue with the existing files.. they will all disappear.
    The old v5 utility gives you this warning.. which somehow Apple forgot on new version.
    It actually makes all the present files disappear for all users. The warning just doesn't go far enough. You do this on a blank TC.. and of course the USB drive is just the same.. you cannot use different settings on that to the TC internal drive. So offload all your files.. create accounts on a bare TC.. load the files back into the correct user profiles.
    In the end you probably want more flexibility than a TC is designed for.. buy something designed for remote access.. WD MyCloud.. it is hugely superior.
    Also. . .  I am trying some File manager apps for my iPhone in hopes that i can connect to the same drive with it.  So far no luck with the free versions of FileBrowser Lite or File Explorer Free.
    Most are SMB based.. not AFP.. Apple offer only two protocols.. SMB and AFP. But no responsible ISP allows SMB over the internet. The flood of files from hacked windows machines would bring the internet to a grinding halt.
    People do get around it.. you can use filebrowser for instance by opening SMB to the outside world on a non-standard port.
    See http://www.stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6remote
    But this is incredibly risky.. there is very poor security and it is not a great idea. The AFP security is much better than SMB.
    If you want security use something other than TC.. any real NAS that offers VPN access for instance. The cost of a WD MyCloud is very reasonable when you look at the flexibility of the design. But any decent NAS will offer real remote access.. not Apple's limited pretend version.

Maybe you are looking for
