Shared printing and snow leopard

I can't get my 2 mac books to print on the shared hp laserjet 1320 that is connected to my iMac. One mac book is running snow leopard and the other is running leopard. The iMac is running snow leopard. They printed fine before the upgrade to snow leopard. I have checked shared printer on all computers. The iMAc says everyone can print on the shared window. The firewall is turned off. The error message says authentication required. When I click on resume it asks for a user name and password. I have tried to add a user to the iMAc and then use that on the mac book but that does not work either. I talked to someone from HP today who referred me to this forum for help. Any ideas?

Bonjour is the protocol used by all recent versions of OS X to see shared printers. I don't have 10.4 but I do have a PowerMac G5 running 10.5.8 and it can see the shared printer on my MacBook Pro running 10.10.1. So I wonder if there is something about Bonjour in 10.4 or if you have some other network issue?
From the PowerBook, are you able to see and connect to a shared folder on the iMac?

  • LexMark Printer and Snow Leopard

    IMac with Mac OSX (10.5) was working well with my Lexmark all in one Printer (Prevail Pro 705).  I updated operating system to Snow Leopard and now cannot print. Tried to reinstall the printer software and got message indicating a newer version already exists on the hard drive. Then went to LexMark and downloaded latest driver and firmware update... still no luck. the error message says I need to download appropriate software....

    To uninstall the Lexmark software, please click on the link UNINSTALL.Then remove the remaining files. Just click on the link on how to remove thefiles.
    Then download the software again for the Lexmark Pro705 for MAC 10.6 at this link: http://bit.ly/zlfV4z
    Hope this helps.

  • Canon printer and Snow Leopard

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and have now spent up to 8 hours trying to get my Canon MX 340 working again.  I checked the printer log and it said that the printmanagerfailed, I found a topic here about the same problem and it stated to go into system preferences and right click the canon printer and to select reset printing system.   Well I did that and it wiped out all my printers so needless to say that didn't work. Now I can't get it setup at all.  I have reloaded all of the drivers and software and it isn't even showing up in my system preferences so I can't add it.  I am pulling my hair out and really really need some help.  HELP! 

    Why would I go to HP printer support, it is a canon printer and yes I did download Canon's driver, what a joke.  I have found some information on this forum but so far no good.  At least I now have it showing up in systems preferences but still not working.  I wished I had checked all this b4 upgrading since I may not have done it.  I have downloaded the Apple supplied driver so if anyone out there knows what to do now I still need help.

  • Brother QL-500 P-Touch Printer and Snow Leopard

    I have had this label printer for a couple of years. It has worked well, but I have had a lot of trouble with it since installing Snow Leopard.
    I eventually got it working but the print program supplied by Brother P-Touch Editor is incredibly slow to load. It does eventually work. I am using version 5.0.013, which is the latest update on the Brother site.
    I looked at the Get Info, and there is an option to open under Rosetta, but this crashes the program.
    Any ideas?

    If you check the Brother website, you will see two new driver/editor packages for Snow Leopard. The first is for versions up to 10.5 and the second is for 10.6. However, if you check the filename, you will see that both are the same file, same file size and same issue date. It seems that the folks at Brother have loaded the same fileset for both versions.... unfortunately, the version they loaded is for Snow Leopard 10.5 which is of no use to those of us with the later versions.

  • Oki c9800PS printer and Snow Leopard problems printing

    I have an OKI c9800PS printer and I must get it working urgently. Was working fine before installing Snow Leopard 10.6. Neither Apple nor OKI have been able to help so far. Does anyone have a solution? I keep getting an error message that says 'software was not installed correctly. Uninstall and reinstall.' I have done this more than six times so far.

    After reading another post I tried the same suggestion but changing the name for my own printer and it works with Snow Leopard. (The original post of this solution is at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141179&tstart=0 - Matt's answer)
    SOLUTION:
    The Oki installer has set permissions incorrectly.
    Open the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities).
    Copy and paste the following command into a Terminal window:
    sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Oki/
    Then hit the Return or Enter key. Enter your administrator's password at the prompt.
    NOTE: Make sure the printer name, in my case 'Oki', is exactly the same spelling and case. When I put in OKI it didn't work. I had to put in 'Oki' as in my Printers folder.

  • Canon MP510 All in one printer and Snow Leopard problem...

    Hiya,
    After looking at almost all the chat out there nothing has worked.
    I have deleted the MP510 printer from my system prefs and ever since then I get the message "Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 155.0.0". I cannot add the printer back into the list as it simply does not exist. Even with a new USB cable!
    I have installed all the latest Canon software and upgrades: Easy-PhotoPrint EX_321; MP Navigator 304; PrinterDriverMP510102600 & ScanGear MP510 12131 to no avail, even after multiple restarts.
    Can anyone help this newbie connect to the Canon printer please?

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you select to add the printer, if it does not appear in the Default view of the Add Printer browser then there could be a problem with the MP510, especially since you have already tried a new USB cable.
    Some additional things that you can try
    - turning the MP510 off for several seconds and then back on again
    - trying a different USB port on the Mac
    - resetting the printing system (described below) and trying to add the MP510 again
    - with the MP510 connected to the USB port, opening System Profiler and checking the Hardware > USB section
    If none of the above helps then please reply...

    *How to Reset the Printing System*
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
    4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
    5. Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

  • IMac 3.06 GHz Intel cannot print in Snow Leopard in Text Edit or CS4

    iMac/3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/OSX.6/4gigRAM/1TerabyteHD/CS4 Design Premium/ cheap HP Deskjet D1520 Printer.
    I have installed the HP Drivers from the original SnowLeopard install of the iMac, yesterday.
    I have downloaded and installed from Apple the HP Drivers for Snow Leopard.
    I have downloaded and installed from Apple the HP Drivers for Leopard.
    I have rebooted endlessly.
    No drivers appear in printer set-up except for my Epson Perfection 1260 Photo Scanner.
    Using HP Printer Utility does not recognize any print drivers I have installed in the past two days.
    I tried using CUPS from the free source group and this printer is not supported in their list.
    My printer worked perfectly in Leopard for printing receipts and memos.
    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    John R

    Now it's been two weeks since I brought home a 27" iMac and realized that the iMac will not SEE my HP D1520 Deskjet printer any longer.
    HP emphatically states that their website driver ffor my printer and for Snow Leopard works in their labs.
    Apple emphatically states that the required driver for my HP printer is within the Snow Leopard installer.
    And neither vendor will tell me why after repeated installs and uninstalls, and reboots, and permission/disk repair, changing USB cables out, WHY SNOW LEOPARD WILL NOT SEE MY PRINTER, but clearly sees my scanner and an Acrobat driver.
    I had another unfortunate soul who's printer is unrecognizable by Snow Leopard to tell me they bought a new printer, and Snow Leopard saw the brand new printer. That's amazing, as my printer is less than a year old. So I guess I have to gamble and buy a new printer because apple upgrades the system and I can't install Leopard which worked perfectly with my printer.
    Apple, you let me down, this time.

  • Home Sharing between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard

    Hi
    I have MacBook Pro both at work and at home. The one at work has Mountain Lion with the latest version of iTune and the one at home has Snow Leopard with iTune 10.7.
    I want to share movies on my iTune account between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard. However, it doesn't seem to work....
    How can I solve this problem?
    FYI - I am not a big fan of Mountain Lion and do NOT want to upgrade my home computer to Mountain Lion.

        I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet.  https://www.icloud.com/
        No email involved. From the browser, you can download individual iCards or all of the individual cards, BUT unfortunately, not the Groups. So, you have to fiddle on the SL machine with keeping the groups organized.
        Up until recently, I have been able to sync Contacts from ML (which stays synced to iCloud) to SL this way:  copy the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder from the ML computer to the SL computer by dragging the icon onto the dock's AddressBook icon, this should retain all the group info.  But, recently, this has ceased being complete.
        Apple really left us behind on this one.

  • Aperture 2 and 3 and Snow Leopard

    My system with Aperture 2 was perfect.
    Then I believe that Snow Leopard killed Aperture 2.
    When I first installed Snow Leopard my machine felt like new again but slowly and slowly over the last few months the whole system seems to feel less and less snappy.
    I don't use many video-intensive applications - my main one is Aperture 2, so this is where I find my main cause for concern.
    Painfully slow adjustments with lagging, beach-balling, CPU-hogging, and RAM theft.
    The main culprits seem to be Highlights/Shadows, Straighten, Crop, and Retouching… although my open mind says that could simply be because they form the latter part of my tweaking process.
    There seems to be a thumbnail generation issue. Every adjustment that is made generates a new thumbnail - as you work through your tweaks that process seems to get backed up and slow everything down.
    There seems to also be a video issue. Tweaking horizontal photos in full screen causes twice as much lag as a vertical image. Why? Take a look - it's obvious - in full screen edit a vertical image is about half the size of a horizontal one.
    There seems to be a memory issue. Aperture seems to use a large amount of processor and RAM and sometimes doesn't let go of it or it gets caught in some kind of a loop. I've no idea what I'm talking about here. All I know is when I look at Activity Monitor the numbers are going through the roof and I can barely concentrate on them because of the noise from my fans.
    There have been various and quite diverse suggestions on this and other forums as to what the underlying problem is and I have done my best to look into those and see what can help.
    I have an early-2008 MBP 4,1 - 2.6 Intel Core 2 Duo - 4GB (factory-fitted) RAM - GeForce 8600M (512MB) GT.
    I have done everything possible: all software totally up-to-date, re-installed combo updates, rebuilt Aperture libraries, run consistency checks, fresh Aperture install, fresh Snow Leopard install, repaired permissions, booted in 32bit, booted in 64bit, run hardware tests, deleted plists, cleared caches, downloaded and run applications like Onyx and Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (amongst others) to ensure everything is in ship-shape along with various test applications to gauge if components like my hard drive are dying.
    I keep my system clean and tidy. I have now stripped out bloat. I even took out iPhoto in case its 'iLife' browser link to Aperture was an issue. I have 85GB free on a 200GB. All components are original as factory-fitted by Apple.
    Everything that any seemingly intelligent person on any decent forum has suggested has been done - in particular I thank the many users here on the Apple forum for all their information sharing… I try to read them all.
    From what I see on the forums, I am not alone.
    Nothing has fixed this problem.
    I (and no doubt many others) have fed this information back to Apple.
    Aperture 2 and/or Snow Leopard has a problem that has not been fixed.
    Aperture 3 got released and I trialled it and swiftly uninstalled it because the exact same problems are there - even with one single photo in it.
    My concern is that Apple will not fix the cause of the problem which seems to lie outside of Aperture.
    If Apple concentrate on making Aperture 3 work better inside a possibly shaky Snow Leopard then I will be very disappointed.
    I'm not forking out for a new version of software just because Apple broke my current software. Don't get me wrong - I do actually WANT to buy Aperture 3 because it has functional improvements and advancements that I would love to be using providing it works properly - and for me (and it appears for 'quite a few' others as well) it just simply doesn't… and neither does Aperture 2 any more.
    I am no technical expert (as you've probably noted already) but a MAJOR bug seems to lie in the relationship between Snow Leopard, graphics cards, and the way it handles memory - and so in turn graphically-intensive applications like Aperture are high-lighting these problems more than others.
    I am sure there are people without these problems. Perhaps these problems relate to specific hardware configurations. My configuration is Apple standard. I really shouldn't have these problems.
    Until Apple fix this major bug I cannot remotely consider Aperture 3.
    Until Apple fix this major bug I could never buy Apple again.
    Up until Snow Leopard you had a VERY happy camper. I had a perfect machine and I was shouting Mac from the rooftops to anyone that would listen.
    And then it seems Snow Leopard broke my machine.
    What a shame.
    I really want to use Apple, I actually really like Snow Leopard, I really want to use Aperture, I really want to carry on telling people how wonderful the Apple Mac experience is (or was...) but Apple are currently making it very difficult for me to continue doing so.
    Please fix Snow Leopard.
    This will hopefully fix Aperture 2 and Aperture 3.
    Unless anyone else has a fix?
    Sincere apologies to all for banging on for so long !!

    Thanks for your input setwart.
    When I make adjustments I do want Aperture to provide me with a new version so that I can see the original image and also that I have a version which I have already adjusted. I've previously tried changing that preference before with no improvement in performance unfortunately, but it's not really what I was referring to.
    Versions, thumbnails and previews were very confusing terms to me for a while… actually, in some ways, they still are but my understanding is 'a little' better now.
    That said, I probably used the wrong term.
    What I meant was that every time you make an adjustment Aperture seems to produce a 'record' or 'snap-shot' of your image including that latest adjustment. In so doing you have an entire history of each adjustment you have made. In my head I picture this like a movie film-strip with each frame differing slightly. You increase your saturation by a single point? Another snap-shot. Fancy another single point on your saturation? Another snap-shot… and so on.
    It is typical that I will make a bare minimum of 20 adjustments on each image, and that's before even thinking about straightening, cropping, and retouching… and then maybe I'll go back and tweak everything again !!
    Somehow, my system is having difficulty in keeping up to speed with all of those snap-shots of individual adjustments. Certain adjustments will drastically slow things down more than others, and then I get to play with the beach-balls.
    But - it used to handle these things just fine and that's what I'm trying to get back to.
    Thanks again for getting involved.

  • IMovie HD and Snow Leopard

    I have version 6.0.4 of HD and Snow Leopard, but they don't work together when I try to combine HD and IM 11. Anyone found a way to do it? Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I try to combine HD and IM 11
    They doesn't.
    You can have both in working order on the same Mac - but they do not communicate else than
    via XML-files = Raw material can be moved over but no project can be shared to be compleated
    in the other application.
    Only via QuickTime .mov file the movie with text and transitions can be moved but then in
    a NON-editable version.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 is one Application serie
    iMovie'08 to 11 - a totally different product - *wrongly named as iMovie* - no code is the same.

  • Why won't Lexmark T430 printer with Snow Leopard?

    Lexmark T430 will not printer with Snow Leopard. Error Message: “The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance.”
    The printer is connected via Ethernet from an iMac; I have an airport wireless network. Oddly, I can print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro, but not from my desktop iMac. Both computers were upgraded to Snow Leopard at the same time, but only the iMac refuses to print.
    Tried:
    -Reset printing system
    -Downloaded Lexmark drivers and reinstalled them
    -Connected printer directly to iMac instead of through the Ethernet switch
    -Repaired disk permissions
    When ‘adding printer’ the Lexmark is recognized and configured, but it only results in the same tired error message.
    Suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    A follow up on my previous report.
    I installed 10.6 on an external USB drive and booted my iMac from there. Result: was able to print successfully to the T430, both via Ethernet and via USB cables. Previously, I also tried to print from the iMac (booted from the internal drive) via USB and that failed; although, as I said, I was able to print to a Canon printer. I conclude that there must be some conflict between the Lexmark drivers and something on my internal iMac hard drive.

  • Epson Wifi Printers and Snow Leopard

    Just curious - Has anyone gotten one of the newer Epson Wifi printers (like and all in one) - to work with Snow Leopard? Something like the Epson Artisan 800?
    Thanks

    My Artisan 800 works fine wirelessly with my Macbook and wired with my iMac. I did have to fiddle with deleting/adding printer after Snow Leopard install and then there was an automatic Epson Printer Update download from Software Update. Not sure which one did the trick, but it's working.

  • Epson C88 Won't Print with Snow Leopard

    C88 won't print using Snow Leopard. Downloaded driver from Epson doesn't help.????

    Like you, I'm working with an Epson C-88+. Happy with this situation, would not be exactly accurate. I have tried some different approaches, including the ones from John and Kappy. They would work just fine for about 3 days, then fail. I even went back to the Snow Leopard Install DVD/ Optional Installs/ Options.MPKG/ Printer Support and made a choice. I then went to Disk First Aid and everything was fine. Today, I went to print 1 envelope, total dismal failure. I then downloaded the EPSON Printer Drivers 2.1, I proceeded to install the drivers. Did anybody notice, this was an Apple License, not an EPSON License? Therefore, there are no assurances, that these print drivers are in fact, EPSON. Therefore, AppleCare should be required to support these Print Drivers as Apple Licensed Products. But equally so, we as 'dumb endusers' must try to work with AppleCare to solve this issue. To "pete.purvis" John and Kappy, sorry, you guys have proven yourselves to be out of the "dumb endusers group, I just want to say, THANK YOU!

  • HP LaserJet and Snow Leopard

    I have a new 24 inch Apple iMac (intel) that is currently connected to a HP 4000N LaserJet printer via ethernet connection and AppleTalk. How can I use this laser printer with Snow Leopard if AppleTalk in longer available. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    The easiest way to configure the jet direct is through it's built in HTTP server/configuration app.
    Do you have a DHCP server on your network (Either being provided by an actual server, or router?)
    By default the printer should have come configured to get an IP address from a DHCP server, unless IP was turned off, or it was assigned a local IP address before (If you bought it used.)
    Look on configuration sheet. If the IP address was assigned by DHCP, the first 3 octets should match your networks (Imacs) address. IE iMac 192.168.1.x and printer 192.168.1.x. Subnet mask should match and the router should be pointing to the same place.
    If this is the case. go into your web browser, and go to http://192.168.1.x (x being the last octet that matches the printers ip address.)
    if the configuration page shows a "Link local" ip address IE 169.x.x.x or some other funky ip address like 10.x.x.x. It either can not find an IP server, OR it is already setup with a manual address. In which case you will have to set ip up by the front panel.
    Would be happy to walk you through it, if it is like my 4500N. Or I'll download the manual.

  • Problems with iCal Server 2 and Snow Leopard Clients

    I am currently running iCal Server 2 on Snow Leopard Server, with approximately 6 client computers connected to a single shared calendar account.  I have digest authentication enabled, and am thus using Kerberos (but not SSH), as well as 3 iPhones. 
    Upon initial connection, I can get all the clients - computers and phones - to properly pull down all the calendar data, and match one another.  However, several of the computers are having trouble updating properly when new events are added.  After some troubleshooting, it seems that the computers running Snow Leopard are not properly updating with events that are entered from other computers, either Snow Leopard or Leopard.  They can, however, post events to the server themselves without any errors.  Interestingly, the Leopard computers can push and pull updated events just fine, and will update with new events whether they originated from a Snow Leopard or a Leopard client.
    We had some recurring login/authentication issues a while back, which seemed to resolve when I disabled digest authentication; I'm wondering if perhaps that has something to do with the problems now.  We're mostly using BusyCal as client software, with the iPhones obviously using iCalendar.
    Just looking to see if anyone else has had similar problems, with Leopard clients working well and Snow Leopard clients having issues.  Thanks!

    Noby_me,
    A lot of folk are having major issues with many Adobe programs and Snow Leopard. You are not alone. For many, rolling-back to Leopard has been the cure. From "word on the street," it appears that Apple is aware of these issues and are working on an OS update. I have no schedule, but that word was out about a month ago, so let's hope that the update is soon in coming.
    You might want to do a Search on this, the Encore and the PS fora for "Snow Leopard." There are plenty articles.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
