SNMP issue in shared printer

Hi,
We have a print server with Windows server 2k8 64bit, it has around 30 printers configured in it. recently we removed the legacy printer and installed new printers with same ip and name and updated the drivers.
After we updated the drivers, the newly added printers show offline status in the print server, however we are able to ping the printer and also able to access the web interface of the printer.
The printers come to ready status when i disable the SNMP in the port configuration option. as SNMP is a need for us to monitor the printers, Kindly assist me in fixing this issue as many printers are affected now ...
Printers are canon branded.

Ping nor the web page on the device require SNMP.
Are the Standard TCP/IP Ports configured with the same SNMP community name that is set on the device?
Also verify that you have enabled SNMP on the devices.
You should be able to use snmputil.exe to walk the device mib.
Here are the instructions. But I was unable to find the file in the list of Win2k Resource kit. If the first two items check out, go searching for the tool and confirm the SNMP information gets returned from the device when queried.

Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server. I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers. Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer. I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
Thanks,
Gary

Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

Image Shifts When Using Shared Printer

OS 10.6.8
Acrobat Pro 9.5.1
Printer: Canon Pixma 4800 ip4800
As far as I know, all drivers are up to date.
Printer is connected to an iMac and is set to allow sharing.
When printing a .pdf from another Mac (wirelessly via AirPort), the image is shifted slightly (approx 3/8") to the right and down on the printed sheet, cropping content.
All other remote printing is OK (including from other Adobe CS5 applications). I can also remote print the .pdf correctly using Apple's Preview application. Printing is also OK if printed from the iMac that the printer is connected to. Only time there is an issue is: Shared printing a .pdf using Acrobat.

Dear Larry,
Thanks for reporting the problem. You mentioned that page content is getting shifted by around 3/8 inches when printed using Mac Airprint using Acrobat which resulted in clipping of some of the content and other applications print fine.
Could you please pass on the same pdf to me as well? Although, it doesnot look dependent on any particular pdf but I would like to analyze certain behavior with the pdf you are using.
Please also confirm that you have not printed with "None" pagescaling option when you observed this.
Thansk,
Atul

Just sick to death of shared printing issues

I have two printers connected to my G4 server upstairs.
I have an iMac and an iBook.
The iBook can print to the IP4000 printer no problem, but if I try and print to the IP3000 I get a message about I have selected the wrong paper size. I have not, everything is set to A4 as is should be.
From the iMac I can print to the IP3000 no problem, however from Microsoftw word when I select print, the programme crashes. I frequently get issues in other apps about error printing.
On the G4 server I installed both printers just the once, yet after a few weeks there are loads of duplicates in the print/Fax pref, ip4000 then 1-ip4000 repeated 10 times, same for the IP3000.
No one appears to have an answer, I cannot make head nor tail of CUPs, or the console.
Please someone help! I thought shared printing was easy, how wrong I was!

i was told by the engineer from where i live i should get between 3 and 4mb,i have only moved up the road from where i was living before,i'll post those stats to you now,thanks for your help.

HP PhotoSmart C7280 - Shared printer issue

I am running a Server (Windows Server 2008 R2) and a handful of clients (Win 7 64/32, Vista 64/32) and i can go on each computer and install the driver by adding a TCP/IP port of the IP address or hostname and it will work fine on any computer, however when I set it up on the server, it works fine when printing from the server, but when I take the printer, and set it up as a shared printer (for Active Directory support) it will share fine and the clients will install the shared printer fine, but when I print to the shared printer from the clients it will print, however at random points in the document it will just stop printing (finish feeding the paper through, without any more ink applied to the paper) and this really appears to be random as to when, as I have had documents that nearly finish and i have had documents that barely start to print.

Hi kevinbuck1,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having issues with the different numbered ink cartridges not being recognized.
I will be happy to help you.
I would recomment to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to set the unit to the correct zone.
Then you will be able to continue using the printer.
Contact HP Worldwide.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Can't connect to shared printer on Windows 7 Pro x64

I have a print server on Windows 2008 Standard and I have drivers installed for both x86 and x64 archs. The ricoh printer seems to work fine on windows 7 pro x64 but the hp printer will not work correctly. It seems to download/install the drivers but when actually connecting to the printer it errors out.
It says cannot connect to printer.
I can add the printer manually if I use tcp/ip printing instead of connecting to the shared printer. I can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone else seen an error like this? I'm not really sure what is causing this issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please also let us know the exact model of this HP printer.
If possible, please reproduce this issue on the Windows7 client and collect the relevant information for further research.
Step 1: Download Process Monitor
======================
1. Please download the Process Monitor at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
2. Extract the zip file to Desktop.
Step 2: Clean Boot
=============
Let's disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start", go to "Run", and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the System Configuration Utility.
2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".

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.

Printing to a Windows XP shared printer

I have long printed from my Macbook with Snow Leopard to my Windows XP computer with a shared printer. I began encountering intermittent connection issues, so I reset my printers. Now when I go to add a printer, under Windows, I see my Windows XP computer, but I get the "unable to connect to server" message. I have been able to add my IP printer, but I cannot add any USB shared printers on my Windows network. I can still connect to my Windows XP computer as a server.
I have scoured the forums and tried many different fixes, repaired permissions, etc. Now I'm at wit's end. Any suggestions?

Kappy, thanks for the input. Your suggestions didn't solve my problem, but through your links I was able to find another fix at macwindows.com relating to modifying the WINS settings and it worked. See below. Thanks!
+Daniel Hoit also sent configuration info for accessing Windows shares, and disagreed with a previous reader about Leopard's file sharing:+
+Samba based services are updated to reflect revisions to the open source Samba project in Leopard, and are not a step backwards. The addition of packet signing alone is a huge and welcome addition.+
+As for the poster's complaints regarding WINS workgroup and Finder browsing, the options are still there in Leopard. You can configure the WINS information in System Preferences/Network/ Advanced/WINS section. Choose a workgroup, and choose a wins server if you have one on your network.+

Printing to a Windows shared printer, keep getting "Hold for Authentication" when I'm on the Windows shared network and can browse the computers.

I have had two MacBook Pros now, and this has been an issue in Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I've got a shared printer on the local Windows network (it's a USB printer shared via the network and the computer), and the other Windows computers in the house can print to it no problem. The Mac sees it no problem, yet whenever I try to print to it, I just get "Hold for Authentication."
Like I said, persists over Mountain Lion and Mavericks. No other computer in the house has any issues printing to it. I've installed the drivers for the printer as well (Brother HL-2240).
I've tried to follow the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23268762#23268762 but the printer isn't listed in Keychain Access.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Patrick Campanale

Well, that isn't too useful. Try this instead: Adding a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB/CIFS.
You may find more by selecting Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and searching for articles by keyword.

Open port issues with Direct Print functionality

Hi, I have been fighting with HP call support about the Photosmart 7525 printer.
Originally I setup and had performed all the functions to enable both web support and WIFI.
Within an hour the printer would not respond to wireless communication, though it had its wireless indecator showing it was connected.
I was told by HP support that the issue will be resolved in March, as there will be a firmware update to fix the issue.
Now that I had the printer install the new firmware I still get the issue.
Though I found through some sniffing, that there are a number of ports enabled and open that are over and beyond print requirements.
Funny thing I can send my printer into instant lockup with all lights flashing with a simple UDP ping sniff. I would think I can do this with other new HP printers using Eprint functions. I will find HP web based printers that are open for public printing and test my theory that HP Eprinters are open to hacking and denyal of service attempts. My Hp print app on andriod list three in my area, and one is at my local Walmart. This would be cool to find this, as I am usually not the first to point such matters out.
I assume some are for Apple devices to print.
Here is my sniffing report:

OK now I am able to run a full scan on TCP ports without causing a lock up of the printer.
I found that having the printer connect to a router that has been setup to use channel 5, 6 or 7 will cause port scanning issues with the printer.
It is obvious that there are 18 ports that are seen as open, whether they are used or not. Two of which are active but have no service connected to them. Some are just dead like port 25, but over half are active enough to recieve data and lock network connectivity within the printer.
As the firmware states some other laser jets may be affected depending on how the configuration can be set.
I moved my routers channel to channel 1 as it is the only other option I have in a highly congested location. It is not as good as channel 6, but the printer seems to have channel 6 locked in for direct printing.
Here is the latest full scan with UDP enabled, it is the furthest and most complete scan I am able to complete, with UDP ports enabled. The TCP port scan has a bit more and I have placed a simple list below the information given here:

Macbook Pro w/ Lion 10.7.2 & Windows 7 Shared Printer (Lexmark X5650)

I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Lion OS 10.7.2 for my wife and have been trying to connect her Macbook to my Lexmark X5650 Printer that is connected to my Windows 7 Professional PC. Tried everything with no success. Any ideas? I have always been a PC user and this is my first MAC and really know nothing about them. Wife had to have it for Dental School and I am getting very frustrated
List of things I've tried thus far:
-Installing printer using CUPS
     smb://server/Lexmark
     smb://workgroup/server/Lexmark
     smb://username:password@server/Lexmark
     smb://username:password@workgroup/server/Lexmark
     where the server is I have tried using both the IP Address and Computer Name of the shared Printer
-Installing printer using "Advanced" options under "Print & Scan" to which I used the address settings as above
-Tried the LPD setting as well as just setting it straight up by selecting "Windows" under "Print & Scan", selected workgroup, computer name, and printer and everything appeared to install correctly until attempting to print test page
-Printer is shared on Windows PC
-Even tried creating an Administrative User and Password specifically for Printing
-Made sure I had the latest MAC Driver for the Printer
I have pretty much tried every setting and suggestion that can be found on google and always get the "Authentication Required" error or nothing at all printing just pauses.   When I click resume and enter in the username and password for my windows pc, it says that its sending the job, but then nothing happens and also whenever I try to print another test page after that, I have to constantly click resume and enter the username and password manually regardless of how I set it up.
Is this a printer compatibility issue, is this an issue with Mac OS 10.7.2 (Lion) w/ Windows 7 or what? Every thread that I have read does not appear to have any responses from Apple with a workaround or any kind of explanation. All that I have come across is that most people had no problems printing through shared Windows 7 printers until they upgrade to Mac Lion OS.

The "Authentication Required" error can be related to the print driver. Many vendors create their OS X drivers for direct communication from the Mac to the printer. As soon as you stick a Windows computer or 3rd party print server in between the Mac and the printer, then you can get this error.
The thing to note is that when you added the printer via the Add Printer > Windows pane, vs CUPS or the Advanced SMB, you would have been prompted for your Windows credentials to see the printer share after selecting the Win7 computer name. If entering these details then showed you the shared printer, this rules out the problem being related to authentication information.
Working on the premise that the error is being caused by the driver then there are other driver options for OS X, such as Gutenprint. However, looking through the supported driver list for Gutenprint v5.2.7, there is not that many Lexmark printers and certainly not the X5650. And looking at other driver packages available for OS X, I cannot see this model so you may need to look at other options.
One option is LPD which you have tried already. But I think this would have failed due to the service not running by default on Windows 7. While it is certainly present on Win7 for you to connect to a network printer using LPD, the service so that other computers can print via Win7 using LPD has to be enabled. This is done via Control Panel > Programs & Features > Turn Windows Features ON/OFF > Print & Document Services > LPD Print Service. With this enabled and running (you can check via Services) then the queue should be created in OS X using a syntax of lpd://ip_address/printer_share_name. Note that no authentication is required and if the driver will support this type of connection then it could be a quick win. But again the driver could be the issue, although I believe you will see a different error if it has an issue with this type of network connection.
So another workaround is detailed in this blog. This allows you to use the vendors driver on the Mac but I have to say that I have not tried this with Lion and Win7. My last test with this setup was with Win XP and Snow Leopard.
What may prove to be the easiest win is to purchase a Airport Express. With the printer connected to the USB port of this wireless device, the Mac can use the Lexmark driver and Win7 should have no problems printing to it either, although it would be handy to install the free Bonjour for Windows utility to help with locating the printer.
Hope this helps and please respond if you need any further information/assistance.

How to print from a macbook to a shared printer hook up to pc

Hi,
How I could be able to print wireless from my macbook to a shared printer hook up to a pc. The printer is a DELL 1320C and the pc is a DELL Inspiron. Please help me out with this issue. I do all my stuffs in my mac and when I to print my job, I get a nightmare.

As long as you have a wireless router connected to your Dell and the printer is set as a shared printer...Just go and print a document and it will ask you what printer you want to use. Use finder to locate the printer from your Dell as it should show up under "shared". I think thats all i had to do when i had a Sony Vio and wanted to print from my MacBook. (You may need to log in as a guest to gain access to the printer.) Its been a while having since upgraded to a new iMac.

Printing from JBOSS (on a windows server as system account) on a mapped (shared) printer (installed as administrator)

Hi,
I have JBOSS running on a Windows Server. Our applications on JBOSS use network printers which are installed on the server for printing purposes. This works fine so far, except for one case for which I ask you for support:
If I map a printer, which is (only) conneted via USB with a PC and shared in the network, the printer is available on the server with JBOSS and can be mapped, BUT JBOSS is not able to see this particular printer and print on it, while the other installed
network printers are available and functional via JBOSS.
My researchs have led to the conclusion, that JBOSS doesn't see this printer, as JBOSS is running unter the SYSTEM account, while the printer was installed with an administrator account. Strangely network printers don't cause this issue.
If I start JBOSS with an administrator account, it can see and use the shared printer. But unfortunately this is not an option, as it causes other issues with our applications.
So the question is: Is there a way to make the printer visible for the SYSTEM account? Or any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Amir

simple solution is to install your printers locally rather than connecting to a network resource, locally installed printers have the advantage of being
visible to every user on your system including system accounts. To install a printer locally rather than connecting to a network printer start the "Add Printer Wizard" and select "Local printer attached to this computer"
Best,

HP Laserjet 1020 Shared printer problem

Hello there I have here an HP Laserjet 1020 connected to one machine and shared to 3 others over the network. Initially the printer works fine. All 3 computers that share the printer are able to print, as well as the host of the printer. However give it 3 days to a week and all of a sudden the printer is no longer able to print. All shared computers and the host are able to see the printer, send a print job, but nothing happens. The print queue is empty as if the job was completed. Occasionally if the host of the printer is restarted a print job will execute but very rarely. The only way that I have been able to fix this problem is to delete the printer from all computers. Reinstall drivers and share the printer on the host machine and share the printer on the following 3 computers. This has become very time consuming as its been done 4 times over the last 3 weeks. If it helps the host machine and 2 computers run XPSp3 and the 4th computer uses win7. Any solution that will help fix this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @rajahp ,
I see by your post that the printer is printing distorted characters. Thanks for providing the screen shot. I can help you.
It looks like a issue with the toner or possible a hardware issue with the printer or fuser.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, toner on the drum or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
I have provided a document for cleaning inside the printer and running a cleaning page, resetting the printer and checking the driver settings. Resolving Print Quality Issues.
Try printing a document again.
Let me know the results.
What kind of paper are you using?
Try another type of paper to see if you have the same results.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What is the toner level?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
