Slow network printing (cups)

hi,
i have a Brother HL-2150N Laserprinter connected via a crossover cable directly to my laptop.
(KDE4, Kernel 26-2.6.29.1-3, cups 1.3.9-4).
Printer is configured as HP LaserJet Series PCL 6 CUPS (URI: lpd://192.168.10.2/binary_p1)
Printer works fine for normal Textdocuments (pdf, OOo, etc..) but when i try to print pictutes (e.g. scanned box for university (PDFs, size around 1-5MB) printing takes about 60 seconds per page under Linux - far to long for up to 40 pages!
Under Windows (/w official Brother Drivers) printing starts directly and there is absolutly no delay between the pages!
I have no Idee if this is caused by a network, driver, protocoll, (whatever one can think of) problem!
Help would be very much appreciated (i hate booting Windows for printing only)
CPU Load is around 4% (mostly desktop processes like firefox and kwin), no cups hickups here.
TCP flow rate is about 46kb/s (measured with iptraf during printing), after a 12 page document the cause traffic was around 50MB!

Very slow network printing in Mac os 10.6

Hi,
I am printing to a HP2035n.
A networked printer.
I bought it while I still had 10.5
It worked like a charm - very fast.
I upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6) with a new hard disk in the laptop.
After this, the printing is very slow. Painfully slow.
The queue window says "Connecting to the printer..." for each and every print job, and this takes 1-2 minutes for each print job.
Once a job gets started, the printer is very fast, 20 pages in a minute or so.
But when I print several print jobs (e.g. bank transactions today) I have to print 40-50 different print jobs, and the printing time takes several hours!
When I put back the old hard disk with the OS X 10.5, the printing goes very fast on the same hardware, network and wi-fi connection on the airport express.
How can I improve this situation?
It is unbearable.
Kim

Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.

Very slow network printing to HP C4795 from macbook os 10.5.8

Printing from Windows on bootcamp (same machine) works fine, but on mac os its extremely slow. I worked with HP tech support at nauseum with no resolution. They said to contact apple. I am on a macbook pro and print via wireless network through the apple airport express.
Please help.
Thanks!
PS- I've been reading about a lot of reported problems with mac-HP interfaces. I bought the macbook and HP printer from an apple store, so I hope you can fix this issue. Otherwise its really just grossly poor QA to sell this item to a customer from an apple store, especially a customer buying a mac.

Replying YET AGAIN to my own post... :-)
I decided to uninstall and reinstall, bypassing
the wireless setup. I'm now back into USB
mode, and I'm happy. The wireless problems
I've read about on the forums make me sorry
I bought a wireless printer. Oh, well, I'm printing
again!

Slow network printing on Windows 7, fast on Windows XP

My system is dual boot. I can either boot in XP SP3 (32 bit) or Win 7 (64 bit). When I print an 8MB file to my CM2320nf over the network through XP, it takes 5 seconds to transfer the data from my PC to the printer. When I print the exact same file using Win 7, it takes 45 seconds to transfer the data.
Since both times they are printed from the exact same PC, this rules out stuff like settings on the printer, or router/switch settings, etc. It must be something in Windows 7 causing the slow data transfer.
I've compared settings in XP and Win 7, and the only difference is the Print Processor used. In XP, HPZPP5k4 is used. On Win 7, it's hpcpp03. Could this be the cause for the slow printing in Windows 7? How can I add/install a print processor in Windows (and where can I find/download HPXPP5k4.dll anyway)?

Slow network printing on Windows 2008 Server

Hi,
We are just testing/configuring a Windows 2008 (x64) server to replace an aging Windows 2000 file & print server.
I have added the print services role and added a network TCP/IP printer (a HP Laserjet 2200).
When I print to this printer from either the server (via print test page) or from a client, it takes around 30 seconds before the print will start to print. On our Windows 2000 server, this would print immediately.
I have insalled the HP 2200 driver that came with Windows 2008.
Anyone any ideas where to find the problem causing the delay?
Thanks,
Kenny

Hello,
I have done some research and I find firewall component of the antivirus software such as Mcafee might cause similar network delay issues.
If you have installed AV softwares on Windows Server 2008, please try uninstalling it temperately and test whether this will make any difference.
Moreover, You could also try disabling TCP Chimney Offload, RSS, Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level on Windows Server 2008 one by one to see whether it makes any difference.
To disable TCP Chimney Offload, follow these steps:
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
To disable RSS, follow these steps:
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh int tcp set global RSS=disabled
To disable 'Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level', follow these steps: :
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
I hope this helps. Thanks.

Neo Zhu

Windows 7: Hp LaserJet 5100 PCL6 slow network printing.

Hello, I'm trying to setup Hp LaserJet 5100 PCL6 that is connected to a WinXP SP2 machine as my Windows 7 x64 default LAN printer. Steps I've done so far:
1. Downloaded HP UNC 5.0.3.
2. Installed it.
3. Tried printing test page, notepad text with no results.
4. In UNC add printer dialog, selected my printer and set test feature to minimal.
5. Tried printing test page. Printer responded and printed an error message, about an unsupported kernel command.
6. Went to Start-devices and printers-add printer, local, LPT_1, Search Driver in Windows Update, Hp LaserJet 5100 PCL6, finish.
7. Accessed "Local Printer" properties, went to Ports selected \\%winxppc%\HP_5000 HP_UNC port.
8. Printed test page, notepad text, AutoCad 2011 Plot. Tested A4 and A3 formats, everything printed fine.
The problem is when trying to print a large file ~25-50 Mbytes it takes from 10 to 20 minutes to print, whereas the same file sent from the other WinXp machine prints much much faster.
So, any possible solutions?

BUMP!

Cups/Xfce network printing problem

I'm really pulling my hair out over this problem, I've tried everything I can think of and everything suggested to me by helpful #archlinux users... So let me start by saying what I am trying to do... It is quite simple in theory.
I have a box running Debian etch with a printer which I am trying to use from this local Arch box.
So Debian has Cups on it and one printer which is shared and published and I have access to the Cups server from this box. I can successfully access the web interface of that box and print a test page. The Cups version on Debian is 1.2.7 (old).
On this box I have a fully updated Arch and I have Cups (1.3.7). Without any configuration, my local Cups web interface shows the printer from the Debian box. I'm not really sure how this works but it appears to relay everything to the remote Cups. I cannot test this printer properly because this leads to a maybe unrelated Xfce issue. Xfce will not show any of my Cups printers (the printing system is set to Cups).
I have followed this section of the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP … x_to_Linux And lpq gives me this error:
# lpq
lpq: error - no default destination available.
So instead maybe I will try to add the printer to my local Cups as a network printer. I choose ipp (http) and add the correct url, select either the foomatic HP 940C drivers (correct) or Generic Postscript drivers. The printer is now shown in my local Cups web interface (but not Xfce). If I try to print a test page, however, I get this error in the log:
E [03/May/2008:17:26:24 +0100] [Job 11] Print file was not accepted (Quota limit reached.)!
So in a nutshell I have two possibly unrelated problems. Xfce/lpq cannot find my Cups printers and my Cups cannot print to the remote Cups. I've got to the point where I will just try anything... so any suggestions are welcome, but I don't really want to touch the Debian box, so backporting a newer Cups is not acceptable. Thanks!

You have to check the following:
1. First of all, having access to your remote cups *doesn't means* that you can print. Do you have the same user/pass on both machines? What about printer permissions? Are you able to *manage* (and I mean _manage_) your printer jobs remotely? What about adding a printer remotely?
2. In my case was as simple as installing the printer on the remote computer and enable *internet printing* (on server management). This enables the ipp stuff for remote printing.
3. About printing publishing, have a look on the checkmark "publish printers connected locally to this machine" (or something like that).
And that's all. I don't like to play with lpr because ipp seemed easier, but YMMV. I hope this works for you.
Greetz.
1. I don't have the same username and password... The printer allows the user "guest" to print, which does allow me to print a test page from the remote web interface. I can manage jobs using the remote Cups web interface. I can't add a printer remotely because that needs admin permissions...
2. Not sure where the server management part is. The printer can be used with IPP but it says Quota limit reached.
3. I have checked the printer publishing stuff. The publishing is working as far as I can tell but the printer just won't take any jobs...

Need help connecting to network printer using xfce and cups

Hello
please can someone assist me with setting up a printer.
I am running arch and xfce desktop.
I have an Epson Stylus Photo R800 USB printer connected to a wireless Belkin all-in-one Print Server.
I do not know how to connect to this printer.
I am not conversant in CUPS or network printing and would very much like to use the printer.
My arch box is connected through cable to a wireless router.
The print server is connected to the wireless router and the router confirms the print server is attached to the network.
The print server IP address is 192.168.0.100.
The printer server has a web interface which I used to set wireless and TCP settings. I should say that I went into this interface and configured the print server which is totally usable and fine from a Vista laptop using wireless - vista laptop "sees" the print server and prints over wireless, therefore I know the server and printer are working together and all the print server settings are fine. I dont know how Vista connects, it just does!
I tried installing gutenprint and foomatic, went into the CUPS server page (localhost:631) and found my printer but I'm not sure if my connection string (socket://192.168.0.100:9100) is correct. I've tried several values and several Epson drivers from the CUPS web interface, all to no avail. I just get this message:
bash-3.2# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: Epson

I have no desire to be a CUPS expert nor a networking expert - I was rather hoping someone could guide me through the process, I have tried reading web links (google) but do not understand various pages and instructions.

EDIT:
SOLVED!
the problem was that gutenprint needed to be installed.
I looked at the rastertops file in /usr/lib/cups/filter and it was very small, handfull of lines, but refered to gutenprint (whatever that is).
"pacman -Q gutenprint" revealed it was not installed.
All is fine now.
GREAT!

CUPS Network printer adds, but won't print...

My USB printer works fine, but my network printer is a much cheaper black and white laserjet that I normally print to. The problem is, I can add the printer just fine; the drivers and everything add just fine. When I go to actually print, I get the error message...
"Unable to locate printer '(enter printer name here)'".
The GNOME diagnostic tool recommends to go to System>Administration>Printing and enable it in the Policies tab, but every time I try that it almost immediately disables. The printer is a Brother HL-2170w, connected through our wireless network. This printer has worked with other distributions before, is there some user setting I'm missing?
Thanks!

Have you given your printer a static IP or dhcp reservation address?
I'm not really sure but isn't it just that your Arch setup doesn't have a way of resolving the printers hostname. The printer is using NetBIOS for broadcasting its name. I think you need a service on your arch setup that can resolve NetBIOS names or otherwise just use the printers IP.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52592
You could set your system up to use avahi and then instead of the putting the printers ip you could use the resolved name. For example on my computer once the avahi daemon is running
[craig@eee ~]$ avahi-resolve-host-name -a 192.168.1.150
192.168.1.150 BRN001BA903A786.local
then just use the BRN001BA903A786.local as the address
lpd://BRN001BA903A786.local/BINARY_P1

OfficeJet Pro L7700 Slow to print

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro L7700 Series printer that is extremely slow at printing, and causing the print spooler service to pause or freeze for several minutes.
- All the clients are running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
- I have tested printing via an ethernet cable as well as wirelessly
- I Have installed the latest driver from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=2512...
Here's exactly what I am experiencing:
When I click print test page the properties window of the printer freezes for 30 seconds to one minute. If I move the window around it says its not responding. Approximately 1 to 15 minutes later I receive a message that the print job has been successfully sent to the printer, and then the printer prints the page.
I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the software and driver as well.
Any thoughts/suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated.
Adam

Hi @VexedHPUser
Perhaps the Microsoft Fix it utility will help;
What it fixes
You are unable to install a printer, connect to a printer, or print more than one job at a time
You receive an error indicating your Print Spooler service is experiencing problems
You receive an error indicating your is not the default printer
You receive an error indicating: cannot be contacted over the network
Identify if your printer is turned off
Identify if your printer toner is low or empty causing your print job to appear faint or it does not print at all
Identify if your printer paper is low or empty
Identify if the printer has a paper jam which is preventing it from operating normally
Identify if a print job that is in the print queue is preventing other print jobs from printing
Identify if you need to update your print driver
You receive an error stating that your Plug and Play printer %PRINTERNAME% has encountered a driver problem
If the issue persists, I think it might be a good idea to reach out to the Microsoft Community.

Wireless and network printing transcript for Meet the Experts

On March 16th, HP hosted its first online chat event on wireless and network printing. Below is a transcript of that session.
I am in the process of planning the next chat event. I would love to hear what topics would interest you, what day of the week and time is best for you, and if you think an hour is too long.
So, if you get a minute, please let me know.
Here's the transcript:
SiobhanF-HP: Welcome! Cameron, Craig, David, and Jim are ready to tackle your questions.
SiobhanF-HP: Just to remind you if you want to ask a question, you must be a member of the HP Support Forums. If you want to join, go here https://passport2.hp.com/hppcf/createuser.do
nc256: Do I need a wireless router to hook up my wireless printer?
CameronL-HP: No, but most people will want to do it this way. You can use a feature called an ad hoc connection to avoid using a router, but it is only covered under an older standard that is slower and less secure. Also, without something to route traffic between the local network and the internet, you cannot get an internet connection. Using a wireless router makes setting up a wireless network easier, and it will generally make the network work better too.
jest1: I've seen some hardware in stores for a "print server" hardware device that attaches to a network. Is this something that I need in order to run a printer over a network?
CraigB--HP: Not if you have a printer that has a network connection built in. Many models of HP computers are ready to be connected directly to your wired or wireless network.
katiepage: How can I print when I am using a VPN?
DavidH-HP: VPN connections generally hide the rest of your home network to increase the security of the VPN connection. A printer on the network isn’t a security threat but the VPN doesn’t know that. It just hides everything just to be sure. That means that when a VPN is active you need some way to connect to the printer other than your home network. Bluetooth, USB, and even printing to a thumb drive and plugging that into the printer are all ways of getting your print job to the printer that don’t go through your home network.
SiobhanF-HP: If you have specific product questions, the more information you give us the better we will be able to help you. Getting your exact model number; any error messages; a description of your wireless network including what kind of security you have, what wireless-devices are connected to your network, and your IP address will go a long way to helping us answer your question.
MelissaP: Why would I want a wireless printer?
CraigB--HP: The main advantage of a wireless printer is the ability to place the printer somewhere in your home or office even if this is not near your router or computer.
Deltan: What is the maximum distance I can have between my router and my printer?
CameronL-HP: It does depend on your environment. Without interference about 25 feet. Walls and floors and other objects can reduce this. The types of walls are important. For example, mirrors and outdoor walls will greatly reduce the indoor range.
jest1: Is there a preferred wireless router type or brand for wireless printing compatibility? We are using a Linksys 802.11g router in my home.
JimB-HP: In general, any wireless-router from a name brand manufacturer that has been Wi-Fi certified is compatible with our printers (look for the Wi-Fi logo). We use Linksys in our lab with great success.
nc256: Are there any digital cameras that can send directly to an HP wireless printer for photo printing?
DavidH-HP: Many printers support a feature called Pictbridge. If the camera and printer both supports this feature, the camera can be plugged directly into the printer to print photos. Or are you asking about printing over a network connection?
KevinW: I keep hearing that you shouldn’t use default settings for a network. Why?
CraigB--HP: There are three reasons not use default settings: First, wireless-routers do not have any wireless security enabled by default. Second, you will be using a common network name in which case you may connect accidentally to your neighbor’s network. Third, your wireless-router is accessible by inadvertent guests who may change the configuration of your wireless-router without your knowledge or use your internet connection without your permission.
Bodie08: I have an HP Lan attached printer and Windows XP on my home network. Is there a known setting (Firewall/port/other) or patch to address the issue of hpqtra08.exe hanging on Windows XP Shutdown? A number of us in the forum have identified this issue. Thanks!
DavidH-HP: This problem has been seen in the past but there were attempts to address it. Have you checked to see if there is a later release of software available on the web? (hp.com)
ZhuLee3: How old is wireless printing technology? I noticed all the experts have around 20 years of experience with it, was there wireless 20 years ago?
JimB-HP: Wireless printing first appeared with the introduction of the 802.11 standard in late 1990's. HP has been making wireless printers since 2003.
lpeterson123: What makes wireless so flaky at times?
CameronL-HP: There are lots of reasons. Wireless signals are affected by distance, walls, metal objects, and other wireless devices like cordless phones. However, most of the problems seem to be from how the network or how security software is configured, and these can also cause things to fail only occasionally or in certain situations. Having a good wireless connection between a PC and printer involves several hardware devices and lots of software made by different companies that all have to work together; if something is not quite right in any of these things then the whole solution looks flaky.
Bowman16: I use a Mac, are there any features that would not work if I was to set it up for wireless use
DavidH-HP: All the features will work on a Mac if you install the full HP software solution.
jest1: Thanks for the answer on the router question. The next question, then, is to ask what would be a recommended consumer-grade wireless-enabled printer (or series) just so I can start my research.
JimB-HP: Any of our Photosmart or Officejet wireless printers will work with Wi-Fi certified wireless-routers. Our price points really have more to do with how much printing you do. In general, our more expensive printers cost less per page than our less expensive models.
Bodie08: Why would I choose "spooling" on my PC over "direct connect”?
CraigB--HP: In general, spooling allows you to use your program sooner than printing directly.
ZhuLee3: Jim: What is it like to be an "HP Printing Expert"? What kind of stuff do you get to work on, on a day to day basis?
JimB-HP: I really like my job -- I've always been a radio enthusiast so working on 802.11 technology is really a dream job for me. I'm also fortunate to work with a great team here in Vancouver, WA. More importantly, I like designing equipment that people use in their everyday lives.
TEACHER1: Recently I changed routers, now I am unable to print wirelessly, even though the SES and wireless network light are steady on my Deskjet 6980 printer. What is the solution? Thanks.
DavidH-HP: The wireless light indicates that the radio is on but does not indicate that the printer is connected to the network. First check that the printer is connected to the network by printing a network configuration page from the printer.
AgentRed: I get my internet with a Verizon wireless broadband card. Someone told me that wouldn't work with a wireless printer. Is that true?
CameronL-HP: Our wireless printers use the 802.11 b, g or n standard which is not compatible with the wireless cellular standard. It would be like trying to connect to a wireless network using Bluetooth. They are different wireless technologies.
DavidH-HP: Regarding the Verizon card, it is true that you cannot connect the printer over the Verizon connection, but as long as your laptop has Wife you can print to the printer over WiFi at the same time that the Verizon connection is active. This should not be a problem.
jest1: Is there a "minimum" internet connection that is recommended for wireless printing? We live a bit far from the DSL CO so our connection is sometimes flaky. I would guess that incoming speed shouldn't affect my local wireless LAN but I want to ask it anyway
CameronL-HP: There are 2 parts to your home network. 1 is your wireless router which manages your local network equipment, then your network connection to the world wide web which your DSL provider gives you. The connection speed of your local network is not affected by your internet connection speed.
Bowman16: Are any HP printers 802.11n? I do not want to add an 802.11b,g to my network and cause it to slow down.
JimB-HP: Currently, our printers comply with the 802.11g standard. We are investigation the emerging 802.11n standard.
ZhuLee3: Will there be a transcript of all the questions and answers from this chat available for viewing after the session? I think I missed some questions at the start.
SiobhanF-HP: The chat event begins when you joined. Sorry that you can't see what was said before you joined. I hope to have transcript posted tomorrow or on Wednesday at the latest.
nc256: Where is the future of printers headed? Does HP have any interesting plans with printing technology? And what’s your opinion on whether or not color laser printing will ever approachthe photo realism of ink jet color?
JimB-HP: The future of HP printing will be characterized by wireless connectivity to not only computers but to mobile internet devices. In fact, as mobile devices become smaller (think phone or netbooks), the need to print from your mobile device might become more relevant.
jest1: Am I able to print from my iphone to a wireless printer?
CraigB--HP: You can print photos from your iPhone to HP wireless printers and it works great in my experience. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/iprintphoto to get the details.
TEACHER1: Thank you. I printed a page. It shows that wireless is disconnected.
DavidH-HP: Then you just need to input the wireless settings from your new router into the printer. If your printer does not let you input the settings from the front panel, you can use the CD that came with the printer or downloaded from hp.com to configure the printer again ( look for the option to "add a device" ).
ZhuLee3: Question about security... if I get a wireless printer, what’s to prevent other people within range of my printer, from adding it and printing documents? How is this configured on the actual printer?
JimB-HP: The simplest way to secure your printer is to enable WPA-PSK security for your wireless network and to use a security pass-phrase that is at least 12 characters long. This configuration is very safe from intruders for the foreseeable future.
CameronL-HP: It' is also a good idea to use a unique network name, also called an SSID.
carolj: I have a photosmart C7180 and I have it hooked up to my laptop (windows vista) when the setup completed the printer was put in networking instead of printers and I cannot access it or move it out of there. What do you suggest?
CraigB--HP: You might need to uninstall and reinstall. Before doing this, make sure your get the latest driver from the HP support at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153754&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us This is also where you can get a copy of the instruction book.
wizll: Hi, I haven't done much research in wireless printing, but I'm interested as I currently have my printer set up the old fashioned way where it's connected to a networked PC, but if the PC is off I can no longer print, which is obviously inconvenient. Do hp wireless printers have a web gui you can connect to once it's on the home network, or is it simply all done from the printer's interface. I've seen some old wired network printers that only use the printer's ui and that seems like a clunky use.
DavidH-HP: Yes, the HP printers which have networking built-in have what we call an "embedded" web server which allow you to configure settings, check status, and have many other features; on some models you can even scan using the embedded web server.
nc256: Jim: Will color laser printing ever reach ink jet quality for photos?
JimB-HP: While never is a long time, inkjet printers will, for the near future, output higher quality photos.
katiepage: If I'm at home, connected to my office network via VPN, can I access my office networked printers?
CraigB--HP: Yes, when you are connected to the office VPN, you can print to your office printers. However, you will not be able to print to your home networked printers while you are connected to the VPN.
jest1: If a friend comes over to my house with their laptop and needs to print something, are they able to do this just by authenticating with my wireless LAN (assuming I have a wireless printer set up)?
CraigB--HP: In addition to authenticating to your network, you friend will also need to install the printer driver for your printer.
jpszambelan: Is there a wireless USB device of some kind I can connect to my printer if there is no network connection already built in?
JimB-HP: HP sells an accessory that adds Wi-Fi capability to your USB printer (see http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/inkjet/wireless/4/accessories/Q6236A%2523A2L) Also, many higher-end wireless-routers allows USB printers to be connected to them to allow sharing of the printer from the network. Note that this solution often limits you to just printing and not scanning from the network.
rockwoodchev: It seems that my computer can find my printer, but my printer can't find the computer, so that "Scan to computer" won't work. What do I need to do in order to fix that?
DavidH-HP: This can be blocked by security software running on the PC (such as a personal firewall). Make sure that your firewall is configured to allow communication on your local network. You can also unblock specific ports, but the easiest way is often just to allow communication on the local home network. The specific setting varies from firewall to firewall.
SiobhanF-HP: We are nearing the end of our chat session. We only have time for 3 more questions. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
SSPatrick: Is it possible to print wirelessly to the same HP printer using both a PC and a Mac?
JimB-HP: Yes -- I do this in my home. I have both Macs and PCs on my network without any trouble.
Bowman16: Any plans to do this again?
SiobhanF-HP: Yes we are.
ZhuLee3: Do all of the experts hang out on the HP community? Will we see you posting there after this?
DavidH-HP: Oh yes, whenever time permits. In addition to trying to help people, I learn things too.
JimB-HP: I'm known as Wi-Fi-Guy on the support forums. I hang out there often helping where I can. It helps me be a better designer.
CraigB--HP: I monitor the forums looking for problems to take back to the development lab for investigation. To date, I have only posted one reply.
CameronL-HP: I haven't been involved in the past but expect to be more involved in the future.
SiobhanF-HP: We only have time for one more question. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
ZhuLee3: Thanks for setting this up!
SiobhanF-HP: The transcript will be posted on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
TEACHER1: Thank you all for conducting this session !!!!
jest1: Is there an OS limitation to print wirelessly?
JimB-HP: All the OS versions supported by the printer as supported wirelessly. In general, we are compatible with Macs, Windows and Linux.
SiobhanF-HP: We are ending the chat event. Thank you for coming. We hope you found it worthwhile. I will be posting a transcript of the event in the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. We will be hosting future Meet the Experts chat sessions on a variety of topics, so please tell us what you thought of the event and how it could be improved. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Feedback&thread.id=525

I work for HP, supporting the HP Experts who volunteer their time and technical knowledge to help others.

I expected this to be released quite earlier. But now that it's in process, I'll wait patiently.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

[SOLVED]Canon D1100 Series UFRII LT doesn't print, CUPS thinks it does

Hello everyone,
I have been struggling getting a network printer at work working with my laptop. I installed the driver from Canon's web site, and everything seems to be fine on my end, but the network printer doesn't print anything I give it. I can't find the issue in my log after running the following command:
echo "This is a test. Hello world." | lpr -p
Here's the output from the error log:

I believe this is all the relevant information from the log. I've not had any success finding this issue in the wiki or in the forums. Google's turned up no help. I'd really like getting this printer to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find that printer on the canon eu support website (canon uses model numbers on that site, not series designations) , and canon printers are not easy to get to work well on archlinux.
However there are 2 aur packages that provide the UFRII driver :
- cndrvcups-lb (built from source)
- cndrvcups-lb-bin (uses the binaries)

Desperately need help with a networked printer and SMB sharing for windows

Complete xServ newbie here. I'm a windows/novell admin, with limited experience in Unix and Linux.
Against my advice, a client of mine that owns a small office of 20 people bought an XServG5 to act as a server for 20 mixed Windows PCs. File sharing services are working fine. I've created the users, set up groups and rights - that's all good.
I cannot get an SMB shared printer to work from the windows machines. They run through the network printer install just fine, it shows up online, etc. However, when print jobs are submitted they DO show up in the printer queue on the server, sit there for a while, and then get moved to the completed box.
They never print. There's not any indication that the job is even submitted to the printer. I can print to the printer just fine from the server itself, but the windows clients don't work, but they don't return an error message.
Print services are running on the server, I've configured the printer name to be less than 12 characters for the share, and indeed it does pop right up during the "add network printer" routine.
Ideas? I'm not even sure what questions I'm supposed to be asking, such is my ignorance of the OS. I do know that I followed the documentation to a T, and according to Apple this should work.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm extremely frustrated.

We have the same problem. Our printer worked for about 2 years but failed similar to yours after a system update.
Can you go into the Windows service, Logs, Printer Service. Copy and paste the log here. What I am looking for is a line like lpr: CANNOTCONNECTCLIENT or something similar to this.
What I expect is that you have a problem where the cups defined printer is not usable. We can't get our problem fixed either - but am just curious if you have the same thing. We reloaded our server, applied all of the update and still cannot get it to work.
Again, I think it stems from the update.

Basic tiger server printing to network printer issues - HELP :)

Hi everyone, Im after some help as im running out of ideas, here is my basic setup: (sorry i have rambled on a bit
current 192.168.0.x network that has ADSL, PC's HP Laserjet 5Si network printer.
Connected to that is my Tiger server with 2 lan ports, one is connected to that network and the other connected to a switch where I run all my macs - the server is a basic file and software update server.
macs connected to the server get a 192.168.2.x address and can access the internet and each other etc - all is happy.
now - I had my personal macbook pro connected directly to the first network to access the printer, works fine and fairly quickly but was unable to access the server (i imagine because the server thinks i was from the big bad internet from the .0.x range
once i connected to the other network served by the mac server i could access all the files fine but printing would not work, so i thought I would have the server access the printer as it has access to both networks and just share it to the local macs.
well when i add it and put in the 192.168.0.71 address it connects and loads the GIMP HP5si driver, but when it tried to print it takes up to 5 mins to show that its finished, but only sometimes does the printer actually fire up, and the times it did it never printed the whole page...
The only thing i can think of is that the server is trying to print to the .0.x address'ed printer but using the .2.x address range, possibly confusing the systems.., im not too familiar with all the firewall/NAT settings ,i think i have everything turned off, but its still not working..
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, im not sure what else to do.
Thank you for your time

This sounds more like a protocol or a driver issue rather than an addressing issue. Which protocol is being used to connect to the printer? You mention the GIMP driver gets loaded, which I read that it's an automatic function rather than you having to manually browse to the driver.
Also, I would look at trying the Gutenprint drivers from Sourceforge rather than the included GIMP-Print.
The other thing would be to check the cups error log on the server. It could give some clues as to why the spool file is taking so long.

Problem printing from Win 7 PC to AE Base Station connected Network Printer

Hi, i have an AE 802.11g version 5.7 software with an IP4800 canon printer attached via USB.
i can print perfecrtly to it from both my macs (G5 desktop and Intel laptop) running 10.5.8.
recently i connected my girl's Vaio laptop running Windows 7 and it works fine for connecting to the internet but i CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to get the network printing working. we installed the latest drivers for the canon on her PC and downloaded and installed Bonjour for WIndows version 2.02 (link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999) The printer is even "seen" on her PC, shows up with a green arrow and the base station is identified, but everytime we try and print we end up with a "error printing document" message after a minute or so.
i have gone into the prefs and we have enabled the UDP port "5353" just in case her MacAffee or the firewall was the issue. this has not worked either. i have tried the solution proposed by a user on this link (http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/177086-fixed-problems-wireless-printi ng-over-airport-extreme.html) and that has not worked either.
i have spent over 2 hours on this and am at an end to what else could work. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?
thx in advance for your feedback!

I have follwed the instructions provided in the html link but I still can not get my Lexmark 5470 to print. I even tried to add a printer using CUPS but that is not working either. Printer works great on the Mac and it will print if directly connected to the PC. I can not get it to print over my wireless network. Any suggestions are appreciated.
