Sharing a local printer over AE's

I have two Airport Extreme (802.11.g) base stations and one is using WDS to extend my coverage to a second floor and garage.
I have a shared printer on an iMac connected to one base station (the master) and can't seem to access it while connected to the other base station (the slave via WDS). If I simply unplug the second base station and connect to the master I can print from my MacBook Pro or PowerBook but if I plug the second back in and then connect to the wireless network from that base station I can't see the shared printer.
Any suggestions? This seems to break lately with one of the software updates.

Hi,
There is no any problem to share the local printers as I known.
In an Enterprise environment, we always share the network printers to make it work better.

Unable to print to local Printer over RDP - Windows Server 2008

Hi,
Windows 2008 Foundation R2.
Started to have issues with printing to a Local printer over RDP.
The problems started on Friday 11th April. The only possible issue I can identify is that around that time LogMeIn was updated on the server, including the LMIPrinter DLL's. I have contacted Logmein for instructions on how to uninstall LMI completely
and followed these but am still experiencing the problem.
When attempting a Test Page print the confirmation that the Test Print has been sent to is displayed and the print appears then disappears in the Print queue but nothing appears on the Local PC print queue or event logs.
On the server the Event Log shows the following error;
The document Test Page, owned by admin, failed to print on printer Canon MG7100 series Printer (redirected 2/copy 1). Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.
Data type: RAW. Size of the spool file in bytes: 142691. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: \\ONESTAGE-TS01. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 2147500037. Unspecified
error
I have searched for possible solutions to RDP printing problems and where relevant implemented them but no change.
I have access to a second customer who uses RDP and am able to log onto that and print to my local printer so am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the local printer or settings. On the Server with the problem the problem affects all RDP users
and all printers (including Adobe PDF printer and MS XPS printer). All printers are defaulting to the EasyPrint Drivers.
Grasping at straws I think the LMI update has banjaxed something with the RDP remote printing and an LMI uninstall hasn't fixed it. Is there a way to reinstall the RDP Printing? Would uninstalling & reinstalling .NET have that effect?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
What’s your client OS and RDP version in your environment?
First of all suggest you to run “sfc /scanow” with this link to check whether which file causing the issue. Check the RDP version on the RDP client computer as well as the .NET framework version with respect to the operating system used (as explained above).
Also verify that the RD Session Host / Terminal Server role is installed if the host computer is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008.
The setting “Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first” must be set to “Enabled” for Easy Print redirection, and it has to be “Disabled” for Legacy Print. For “Not configured”, Easy Print is chosen by default.
Check The Remote Desktop Configuration Tool (tsconfig.msc) settings to ensure that the “Windows Printer” option is not disabled (it is not disabled by default).
Make sure that the “Printers” check box in the client (mstsc.exe) window on the “Local Resources” tab is checked. The corresponding setting in the associated RDP file is “redirectprinters:i:1”.

Printing Problem from Citrxi to Local Printer over a WAN

Hello,
We have a rpinting issue , here are the details:
R3 4.6C on Windows Server 2003
SAPGUI runs on Citrix
A user iopens the SAPGUI on citrix , the sapworkdir is located on her Home Folder (H:), she has full
permissions to that folder.
When she prints to a printer that is defined in SPAD - it prints without a problem.
When she prints to an LPT1 printer attched to her computer - it doesn't print and the following error appears on the SAPLPD console window:
Number of processors: 4
lcon DLL loaded.
SAPLPD Version 6.29 for Windows/NT [OPT] is listening
One shot printout of file .\lprint0000000001.tmp, printer __DEFAULT
Job .\lprint0000000001.tmp [raw] started on printer CLIENT/MIS0025845#/ELTA
Open failed for file .\lprint0000000001.tmp
Can not unlink file .\lprint0000000001.tmp
SAPLPD terminated
Is anyone familiar with this error ? She has full permissions on her SAPWORKDIR directory....
Any help is appreciated.
Thx
Adi

Along with Chen recommendations; Please make sure that Printer is configured on CITRIX desktop.
You can set up the Printer in the following manner::
1.START>SETTINGS-> PRINTERS and FAXES.
2. Click on ADD Printer and Click on NEXT
3. Select LOCAL PRINTER ATTACHED TO THIS COMP and make sure that AUTOMATICALLY DETECT is not selected and Click on NEXT
4. Select Create a New port and select Standard TCP/IP port and Click on Next
5. Enter the IP address of the Printer and also give the Port name
6. Click on next again (no need to change in this screen)
7. Printer info will be displayed. CLick on Finish.
Check in SU01 if LOCL is given as the Default device.
Regards!

10.6.8 cant see Shared 10.8 printer over network

Hi
I've shared a Kyocera Laser printer on my 10.8 Mac and Shared it (it's connected via USB)
The other 10.6.8 macs can't see the printer at all - but the 10.8 macs see it no problem.
Can anyone suggest what I can do? I've rebooted the 10.8 Mac.......10.7 never had this issue so something has changed in Mountain Lion.
Thanks for your advice.

Don't worry it's come up now - it took 5 mins to pop up on the 10.6.8 macs...

Using a wired shared printer over bluetooth

With MSI 6967, the user manual says that you can only print directly to bluetooth-enabled printers. This must be untrue? Surely it would be relatively easy to construct simple SW that could send print jobs over bluetooth 'Network Access' to the other pc's local shared (and wired) printer?
I have seen utilities that do this on Mac, and I have seen something for pc altho it prints a watermark over everything until you buy it (I think it was £20, which seems a lot).
I'm only after something simple and freeware/open source. Any ideas?
If there is nothing I may build something myself, if there is enough interest.

I seem to have managed this with my desktop PC running XP Home with an Epson parallel printer and a laptop also running XP Home. I can't claim to understand exactly how I did it but would be more than willing to share any network setting information with you.
Basically I set the printer to be 'shared' under printer properties and both PCs to belong to the same workgroup (MSHOME is the default name).
After experimenting with all sorts of Bluetooth settings to no avail I eventually decided to explore My Network Places, View workgroup computers. Much to my amazement I could see the other PC with the attached printer and could make it the default printer for the laptop!! Needless to say I had to connect the laptop to desktop for network aceess (right-clicking the icon in systray)
The only drawbacks are that 1) it doesn't start printing straight away - maybe 20 second delay and 2) the print monitor doesn't update (it won't tell me how much ink is left etc)
I was pretty sure it should be possible but took me many attempts before I succeeded.
You need to keep an eye on your firewall settings as I found this was blocking some of the attempts to print over the network.
Hope this helps or at least gives some encouragement
Regards

Printing to shared windows printer over wireless network

Hi,
I just bought my wife a MacBook and recently updated it to Leopard (OS X 10.5). I have a Lexmark X5150 printer connected to a desktop PC running Windows XP. I can share files between the two computers no problem either wirelessly or through an ethernet connection through my router. But, I'm having troubles accessing the shared printer through the Macbook wirelessly. If I connect the printer directly to the Macbook, I can add the printer with appropriate drivers no problem. However, when I try to add the printer as Windows shared printer, the appropriate driver doesn't show up in the drop down list. I can navigate to and find the printer over the network fine, but I just can't find the right driver. I'm a newbie to Mac and was wondering if there is anyway to find the driver using Finder or something similar to determine where it physially resides on the Mac. I know it's there because it is automatically selected when I directly connect the printer to the Macbook and add the printer. Any thoughts??

Couldn't figure things out, so I'll just stick with connecting the printer directly to the macbook.

HP LJ CP1215 Unable To Print over Network Sharing

I'm having trouble with my CP1215 printing over the network via microsoft sharing. It was working fine and then one day stopped working. I've already removed it and re-installed it on the remote PC with window XP and removed a re-installed the physical connection and the software and drivers on the host PC with Windows XP, as well. The host computer has no trouble printing anything. The remote computer can't even print a test page. When I send a job to the printer from the remote computer it appears in the print queue on the host computer as "Printing" but hangs there for a minute or two and eventually disappears and nothing happens on the printer itself. Firewalls have all been turned off/disabled during tests, as well. Anyone have any ideas?

bcoffee wrote:
No one has any ideas on this? From looking around in Google a bit, this seems to be common, but no one has had any answer for it yet.
I just talked to HP. I had to set the cp1215 as the default printer on my wireless laptop for it to print.
As long as it is set to default printer it works fine, but if something else is the default, it goes to the cue and eventually disappears without printing.

How do I send email and web pages over a shared home network printer?

I want to share web pages with a shared home printer over our home network. One computer using Windows 7 and another using windows XP. I know I can send document files to the shared computer. The computer with the Windows 7 OS is wireless; the other using XP is directly connected to a cable router and to the printer.
== I have not been able to do this.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you trying to print?

Remote Printing over IPP

Hello Mac OS X Server Community,
I am having trouble setting up remote printing over IPP for my Mac Mini (2009) Server. Let me explain the hardware I am working with, and the steps I have attempted to achieve remote printing thus far.
Hardware:
(1) Cisco WRVS4400N Router
(2) Mac Mini (2009 w/ Mac OS X Server 10.6.4 installed)
(3) MacBook Pro (2008 w/ Mac OS X 10.6.4 installed)
(4) HP LaserJet CP2025 printer
Note:
• All firmware, drivers, and software is up-to-date on all devices
• Cisco Router acts as a gateway
• MM Server handles printing service and queues
• MBP acts as client for printing
• HP LaserJet CP2025 is connected to the LAN via an ethernet cable (not a USB cable)
Steps to setting up remote printing:
(1) Mac OS X Server Initial Setup complete
(2) Printing service started and HP printer added to printer queue.
(3) IPP and other pertinent ports allowed to pass through in Mac OS X Server Firewall
(4) On the router, forward IPP port 631 to the server's LAN IP address.
(5) Add printer to client by adding printer via bonjour shared printer. (I've tried to add to printer specifically over IPP with the server's fully qualified domain name, but this has been unsuccessful.)
Issue:
I can print locally while connected to the LAN, but I can't print remotely, even though the necessary services seem to be running and the necessary ports seem to be forwarded correctly. Is there a setup step I'm missing, error in my setup, or any other advice anyone can contribute? Much appreciated in advance!

+"I don't bother with it nowadays as (along with the VPN Service) it can become unreliable."+
Are you saying here that the VPN Service is unreliable or that you don't bother using the VPN service?
+"For quotas to work effectively (IMHO) you really need an OD environment with all that that means. It can be made to work over a WAN connection but the question is do you really want to? Again just an opinion but better to print to it directly and leave it at that."+
Right now, the forwarded LPR port works, but I have a problem that this is still an open port. Anyone who knows the address of my router can print to my printer. I don't think that is going to happen too often, but it's still a problem all the same. Do you know how to set up OD authentication for printing on Mac OS X 10.6 over the LPR or IPP protocols?
Also, hypothetically if you were to have multiple printers on your LAN, then the server would need to handle the print requests, correct? (i.e. - the IPP or LPR port would need to be forwarded to the server). This method has been unsuccessful for me with even one printer on my LAN.
+"Your printer looks like it supports IPP in which case have you contacted HP Tech Support yet? Ask them the question as they may be able to help?"+
I have not contacted HP Tech Support yet. I think it may have something to do with my router. I've been in communication with Cisco about some other issues. I'll try to talk to them this weekend about the IPP port and others not seemingly being forwarded to the server and/or printer.
Any other help you could provide in the meantime is appreciated.

One Answer To Sharing Stubborn/Naff Printers Over A Network

Dear all,
I posted a previous question concerning sharing a Canon i320 printer and got a swift if disappointing answer. Whilst the answer was entirely correct in that it was a fault with Canon's driver and the lack of a CUPS version, I have found an alternative to giving my perfectly working i320 printer a Viking Funeral which may also answer several other peoples problems. Just as well because it probably wouldn't float anyway.
It may not be news to some but there is an application for OS X called PrintFab - www.printfab.net which seems to provide CUPS drivers for most printers, including the i320. This allows you to share your disappointingly naff printer over a network just like one of those proper printers you should have bought in the first place.
I've just achieved a successful printout using the evaluation version of this software. Sadly there's no such thing as a free lunch. This one costs 49 euros in it's basic form but in these ecologically challenged times, it does allow to continue using your current printer. It is presumably cheaper than Airport Extreme which was suggested as an alternative. It did take a while to print so I'm unsure about performance in that area. I guess with an evaluation version, you can check that yourselves.
Hope this helps.

Hi Brie,
I'm not sure exactly what are the 6 steps exactly.... but I did all the check box in ip preferences of both computer.
I found this in the iP help menu
To share your photos on a network:
1-Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
2-Click Sharing at the top of the Preferences window.
3-Select the "Share my photos" checkbox, and then choose your entire library or only the albums, slideshows, or books you want to share.
4-Type a name for your shared items in the "Shared name" field, and a password if desired.
The shared name you enter appears in the iPhoto Source list on computers set up to look for shared photos on your network. If you select "Require password," users will need to enter that password before they can see your shared photos.
DONE ( did not use password)
To look for shared photos:
1-Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
2-Click Sharing at the top of the Preferences window.
3-Select the "Look for shared photos" checkbox.
DONE
Not sure what other step there are to do if any!

IMac G5 no longer prints to laser printer over ethernet network

I have a small office with 6 iMacs networked via ethernet with a Netgear Router. Printers are connected to one machine and people send to print over the network.
3 iMacs are G5. 3 are Intel. All run OS X 10.5.8.
A month ago one of the G5 iMacs stopped being able to print to a Brother laser printer (which is connected by USB to an Intel iMac). I believe this happened after we downloaded a periodic Apple update. About 2 weeks ago a second G5 iMac developed the same problem. The 1st G5 iMac still prints fine to an inkjet printer connected directly to it by USB.
We have tried re-loading drivers, but no improvement.
Any suggestions as to how we can resolve this?

Hi DaddyPaycheck
The iMacs that can't print can see the printer. We have deleted and re-installed via the printer system prefs too. There weird thing is that you can select the printer and send to print, but for some reason the printer then automatically pauses and you can't resume it. The file is listed by the status is 'stopped'. When you open the printer queue on the Intel iMac that the laser printer is connected to, no print file shows up at all...
We also ran the network diagnostic that you can do when in printer system prefs and that reported that "the G5 iMac could connect to the internet, but not the Server "brother HL 4040CN series-1@ben's-iMac-2.ipp.tcp.local" "
Hope there's a clue in there somewhere...

Can't share local printer in Windows 7 Pro-error 0x000006d9

Hello,
I recently purchased a laptop and wanted to share my local printer, attached via USB to my desktop (tower) in my home. My desktop runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
When I try to share my printer, accept the default printer name (or modify it), from the sharing tab of printer properties, I get an error: "printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006d9)".
I did some searching in this forum and via google but this error code does not appear for this type of issue (i.e. printer sharing). Does anyone have any suggestions?
I also verified my Event Viewer and see no errors whatsoever related to printer or network settings or file and printer sharing. I CAN share my files on THIS desktop with the laptop and have already transferred files from the desktop to the laptop successfully. But printer sharing is giving the above error.
** Also, I MAY have a related problem but I am unsure about this, so I wanted to mention this in this same thread in case they are related: I cannot start the homegroup listener service from services on the desktop (win 7 pro) - get error code 2147023143. Homegroups are NOT setup (not created) on neither the laptop nor the desktop. Again, I tried to search for this error code but the results are inconclusive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Its now been THREE YEARS since this "bug" has been discovered and resolved by a user, and there is not one word about it in MS's online help. Today I had this exact issue of not being able to share a printer on Windows 7 with other computers on my
my local network. And this is the same printer I've been sharing with the same network for nearly FIVE YEARS!! I have always used 3rd party virus/firewall software, but I don't disable the windows firewall. Rather I just set it to "Manual"
because some network software seems to need it occassionally. The result is the same however, as is the solution. I had updated and reinstalled my printer software, and apparantly sharing is disabled by default. After stumbling upon this
thread, after several hours wasted searching Windows Help and Microsoft "NON"-Support websites and KB's, I simply ran the firewall just long enough to enable sharing, and instantly the backlog of spoolled print jobs began printing.
Thank you. You would think MS would have at least written this solution into their help files by now ... but than again, they are probably making money with their "paid" support option from all the desperate people who suddenly can't use there printers.
Probably charging $50 just to tell people to turn the firewall on for a few seconds. I can't think of another reason to conveniently omit this simple solution from the "free" support.

How Do I Redirect LPT1 Printer Port to 'LOCAL Printer' in Windows 7

I have previously redirected LPT1 Port to a 'Network Printer' as well as 'Print Server' with NO PROBLEMS.
However, I have NOT been able to redirect LPT1 Port to a 'LOCAL' PRINTER. I have already set up:
- new HP Laser Printer (tested, no problem printing in Windows)
- the printer is SHARED, shared name is "HPLaser" (tested by viewing Shared Printer Name and Computer Name in DOS)
- bat file as --> Net
use Lpt1 \\DkTop1\HPLaser /persistent:yes
(I checked to ensure the 'Computer
Name' and the 'Shared
Printer Name' are correct. Tested by running bat command, no
error message)
When printing in DOS and viewing "What's Printing" from Printer Icon,
- the DOS print job appears immediately as "spooling",
- then "printing" and "USB001" Port.
So, it appears to be printing from the DOS application, also
note NO ERRORS from DOS Program or Windows but it does NOT print.
The only difference between the 'Local Printer' setup and
the 'Print Server Printer' setup is,
the 'PRINT SERVER'
goes to an "IP Address w/Standard TCP/IP Port"
and the 'LOCAL PRINTER'
goes to "USB001 Virtual Printer for . . .".
IS THERE A PROBLEM in
SETTING UP THE 'LOCAL PRINTER'
with 'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port???
If so, how do I resolve? If not, please note what is the problem(s) and resolution(s). Thanks.

Hi,
you install the new printer, which port you choose to use? What do you mean by saying "'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port"
here?
As the printer is configured locally, there is no need to redirect the port to it.

RDP via remote web workspace from Server 2012 R2 Essentials on Win 8 Client unable to connect to local printer.

Hi,
Having an issue redirecting to a local printer when using a remote desktop session initiated through from a Essentials 2012 R2 server via remote web workspace on a Win 8.1 client, it doesn't pick up the Local printer, or even give the option of which
local resources to use on connection, just goes straight through and displays the remote desktop on connection.
I know its not a server global policy issue as it works fine on a Win 7 client with the same user being able to print locally whilst in a RD session
Any idea's as to how I can resolve this issue and enable local redirected printing or at least give me the options of specifiying which resources to connect on the local machine at the start of a session.
It's complicated I think as the essentials box is acting as the gateway so I cannot setup a session directly, the certificates are all working correctly so I am confused as to whats causing the issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please try to connect the printer with IP address and check the result. You can go through beneath article might helpful in your case.
