Trouble connecting OSX to a shared printer on Vista

I am running OSX 10.4 and can't seem to get it to print to Vista. This is the weird thing. Firstly, I can access shared folders on Vista from OSX, I can print to the printer hooked up to Vista from Vista on Parallels, I can print to the printer connected to my PC from XP through boot camp but I just can't print from OSX direct. So to make that clear I can run Vista on my Macbook Pro with Parallels and print to the network shared printer no trouble at all but not from say Pages or Keynote.
Has anyone got this problem or any suggestions? I have tried customer support and they suggested a few things I had already done like Bonjour, Option button - Windows printing through Samba, Network Neighbourhoood and a few others but with no success. Please help. I am thinking it may be a compatibility issue with Vista, OSX and Printing Service but being this new to Mac I can't be sure of that by a long shot. Thanks for your time guys.

Invalid user name and password when adding a shared printer from vista

I have the following hardware in our house:
1. A Vista Ultimate
2. A Power Book G4
3. A Netgear RangeMax router
4. A Canon IP2200
The printer is attached to the vista PC by USB.
That PC is attached by ehternet to the router.
The mac is networked to the router by wireless.
Our wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK.
I have set up file and printer sharing on my vista PC and on the mac.
File sharing is working perfectly and can connect to my PC using the windows file sharing protocol (SMB).
I then decided to add my printer as a shared device. I set the printer to shared using my vista PC.
On the mac I opened:
System Preferences > print & faxes > Set Up Printers > add.
I selcted Windows Printing and then Workgroup (my vista PC is on this workgroup)
and then clicked my PC and then Choose.
I then get asked for my Windows Username and Passowrd.
After typing this in I get the follwoing message.
"Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name.
Error: 256"
I know that my username and password are correct as I add the same printer to my friends XP laptop.
Is this a vista or mac issue or both. I really don't want to have to unplug my printer or copy the file to my PC everytime I want to print something.
I have not tried to add the printer to the mac from a XP compluter and maybe something I need to try.
Sorry for the long post but I really want to sort out this problem.
P.S I have googled for this problem and have come across a mac help forum with the exact smae problem. However no one has a solution.
I hope I can find a solution for me and others having this problem.

Accessing iMac shared printer from Vista

I have a Canon MP470 connected to my leopard iMac and it works fine from the iMac. I have set it to Share.
On my Vista laptop I can see it and add it as the default printer. But nothing actually prints. When I open the status of the printer in Vista I see Access Denied, unable to connect.
I have installed Bonjour - but to be honest not really sure what that is or whether I needed to configure it or not...
Any ideas...
Eric

after installing bonjour... there should be an add printer option in the Bonjour folder off the Start > All Programs menu.
if you installed it using add printer under Printers and Faxes... it likely won't work right. Bonjour is a app that allows for easy networking of computers, drives, and other shared devices... including apps like iChat and iTunes sharing. It's pretty swanky and works really well in my experience compared to other windows protocols.

How can I add a shared printer USB plugged to the Time Capsule (on a windows vista PC)

Setting up an airport network was very easy, and is very intuitive and friendly working on a mac. However, I tried to install the shared printer remotely on a windows vista PC and... well, that's a diffrent story. Can anybody help? Thanks!

If you have not already done so, you will need to download, install and run Bonjour for Windows on the PC.
If you have already done this, what error messages are you receiving?

File & Printer Sharing with Windows Vista

Hi All,
I work in a small office, I'm the only mac user & I supply my own Macbook 10.5.6.
We have just had a new Samsung printer installed in the office which all PC's have been enabled for printer sharing, but I cant seem to get my Mac to pick up the Shared printer. I'm also trying to set up a folder on the main PC that I can send files to from my mac. The shared folder has been created on Windows Vista - but I'm unable to see that shared folder in finder. Could these 2 issues be related? please can someone help me make my work days just a little bit easier
Thanks so much

I would like to add that I DO NOT want to share my laptop at all. It is my personal computer & if I can set up file sharing from my mac to the main PC on vista while still blocking any access to my computer.
I am currently following this procedure - http://www.ifelix.net/tech/3022.html

Can't print to a 6540 HP printer shared by a Vista Home Premium PC

Hello, I have been trying to print from my MacBook to a printer shared by a Vista Home Premium PC but I just can't seem to make it right. I have been searching on the support discussion hoping to solve the problem but still, no luck. In the discussions that I read I followed some instructions but still no solution.
Firat I tried to add the printer using the windows printing option, I can see the computer the printer is shared on the network, but no printer, so I kept looking in the discussions and found that I should try someting else.
Then I read another, it said that I should try LPD printing, so I enabled it on the windows vista PC. I checked that both subnet masks and workgroups where the same, and they were. Then I tried to add it on my MacBook, but now the driver was not available on my Mac so I checked another discussion. The next discussion said that I should download some ghostscrip from http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/ and to repair permissions and I did, then my hopes went really up, but still no luck
Can anyone really help me to solve this problem, I know there should be answer for this.

Sorry, I can't really tell what solved to issue finally but I can tell you what I did step by step:
First I enabled LDP in the Vista computer
Check the Vista computer ip using the ipconfig comman in cmd
Check the Vista computer Workgroup and check it on my mac, they were the same.
Download the ghostscript files and installed them so that the correct driver could be selected.
Go to the add printers and pressing the alt option key click on more printers.
I chose the LDP thing
On name I wrote the printer name, very simple one
on the URL field I wrote the vista ip/printer name
I chose the exact same driver for the prnter.
Went to the vista computer again and opened the 515 port for TCP and UDP (I didn't know the difference so I did both)
Went to the router settings and opened the same port for TCP and UDP again.
Then everything worked fine!

Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Cant see shared printers

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.
ibook G4 1.33ghz 12, 1.42ghz 14 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1gig ram,

That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.
thanks,

Printing from MacBook to a printer shared through Windows Vista

Hi Everybody,
I'm unable to print anything from my Mac laptops to my HP printer which is shared via a Windows Vista PC.
I have a wireless home network with a PC, a latest model Powerbook G4 15"/1.67 and a MacBook Core2Duo. The PC is connected to an HP PSC 2355 All-In-One printer.
When I had Windows XP SP2 installed on my main PC, I was able to print from my Mac laptops through Samba (Advanced printer, smb://guest@myIPaddress/printersharename) without any problems.
I recently upgraded my PC to Vista Ultimate (RTM Technet full version). Now, I can no longer print via my Mac laptops, since supposedly, Vista's implementation of Samba has changed. I can, however, print from my MacBook when it's running Windows XP SP2 without any problems. This leads me to believe that the sharing-side on the Vista PC is set up correctly. The XP to Vista over wireless printing obviously doesn't use Samba. The Vista share does not have a password on it.
I've installed the Foomatic/HPIJS drivers on both my MacBook and the Powerbook. These are the errors:
Powerbook: "Unable to connect to SAMBA host"
MacBook: "The process "foomatic-rip" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
I've tried all kinds of combinations for Samba, and also via the option "Windows Printing". My PC is in the same network Workgroup as the Macs, and they can see my Vista PC fine. I can also connect and share files with my Vista PC without any problems and connect through Samba using Finder (for file sharing). I cannot, however, see my shared printer through the Windows Printing dialog.
Can anybody help me out?

Unable to Print to MX300 shared from a Vista PC

Hi,
I'm trying to print to a Canon MX300 that is attached to and shared from a Vista PC. When I try and add the printer using the regular Add WIndows Printer my Vista PC rarely shows up, even though I am sharing files to and from the PC to my Mac. So I worked out how to manually add the printer (customize the Add Printer window toolbar and add the "Advanced" option.
When I do this I get "No pages found" when I try send print jobs to the MX300. Installed Gutenprint drivers. No help (no generic Canon ij driver). So I'm lost. And no I cannot plug the printer into the Mac.
Please Help.

You will not be able to use the Canon driver for this type of connection. It has not been designed to work from a Mac when shared by Windows. So you will have to experiment with the other models of Canon-Gutenprint drivers to find one that is compatible with the MX300.

Shared files between Vista and Windows 8.1

I have a laptop with windows 8.1 on it and a desktop with Vista. The desktop can access the files on the laptop, but the laptop cannot access the desktop files. The network shows the desktop, but says it is cannot access it. Is
there a setting in windows 8.1 that I am missing?

Hi,
Please make sure that you have permission to access Windows Vista computer, and the share from Windows Vista is for public.
Then, please check following settings:
Whether these two computers are in the same workgroup.
Try to turn off the firewall of Windows Vista to check the results.
Check whether the network discovery of both computers is turned on.
Check following ports are allowed in Firewall: UDP 3702, TCP 5357, TCP 5358
If the key restrictanonymoussam under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Lsa was set to 1 or 2, please change it to 0.

HP Deskjet 712c Win 7 Home problem connecting to shared printer on Win XP Pro PC

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting to a shared printer on my home wireless network. The printer is HP Deskjet 712C. When I had Win XP on all my PCs, I could successfully share the printer from one PC and print to it from any PC. Worked just fine.
However, now I have 2 PCs with Win 7 Home and 1 PC with Win XP Pro. The printer is physically connected to the Win XP box. I have confirmed, on that box, it is being shared. When I try to add the printer on a Win 7 box, I select network printer and get to the point where it needs the driver. It prompts for an INF file. I have no clue where to go from there. I have done the Windows Update thing for Win 7 to update the driver list in the OS. I did see on the Win XP box that there's a place where I can load various drivers to the network for different OSs. I'm guessing that's so the appropriate drivers for those OSs will be available when adding the shared printer in those OSs. Of course, Win Vista and Win 7 are not available there. Is there any way I can share the printer from my Win XP box to my Win 7 boxes?
Also, I've tried physically connecting the printer to one of my Win 7 boxes to share it from there, but I have probems there just getting Win 7 to see the printer correctly. I'm using a Parallel - USB converter cable. When I plug it in, Win 7 sees the printer as a IEEE-1394 device instead of a printer. Even when I install the HP Deskjet 712C drivers in the OS driver list, and select the USB001 port, it tells me the printer is not plugged in, but I know it is.
I would love to hear some ideas! Please help!
Thanks

HI, I have the same issue and recently (1/15/11) posted the problem.

Problem setting up shared printer between PC and Mac with 10.6

I am trying to setup a shared printer between my Mac and PC. I have a HP K80 attached to my PC (which has Vista Home Premium). I have a Macbook pro with 10.6. I have shared the printer on the PC side. From the Mac I have added the printer via Windows Printer sharing, but for some reason I cannot print to the printer. Everytime I try to print, the job just pauses. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks I installed the gutenprint drivers and tried this, and now all working:

Printing to a Shared PC Printer
This article describes how to print from Mac OS X to a shared printer connected to a Windows XP machine. It assumes the computers are already networked and that you can access the PC's files. These instructions are relevant for Mac OS X 10.2 upwards. The instructions may work with Vista. I don't have the means to try it.
1. Find the IP address of your PC - go on Start > Run. Type in cmd and click run. Now type in ipconfig /all and hit enter. This should give you the machine's IP address.
2. Share the printer. Open up Printers and find the one you want to share. Right-click and choose Share. Now click the 'Share this printer' radio button. Now choose a sharing name. Keep it simple - e.g. HP, Office, PC etc.
3. Open a web browser on your Mac and type localhost:631 in the address bar
4. You should now have the Common UNIX Printing System web interface up. Click the 'Add Printer' link.
5. Type a name for the printer, making sure you don't include /, # or space characters. Click continue.
6. Select Windows Printer via SAMBA from the Device list and click continue.
7. For the URI, you need to include a username and password for an account on your PC. You then need to enter a URI in the following format: smb://username:password@ipaddress/printer. So for example smb://johndoe:[email protected]/HP
8. Choose your printer's make, or if you have a PPD file for the printer, choose that. Click continue and choose your printer's model. Now click Add Printer.
9. Done! You now have a list of options for changing the various properties of the printer.
You don't need to be on the same workgroup or domain as your PC, just the same subnet. If both your Mac and PC are connected to the same router, either wired or wirelessly, then you should be on the same subnet.
Thanks guys
