[SOLVED]setting up windows connected printer to work with arch+kde

i am new to arch and i am thoroughly enjoying every bit of knowledge that i gaining !
i wish to set up my printer connetec to windows pc at work thru wlan0 from my laptop running kde.
i found that system settings does not show up the options and for some reasons is not configurable from there.
so i downloded and installed hplip (printer is hp and i found a driver in the db) i run hp-set up and i am unable to set up my printer.
i also tried using the cups web interface but nothing happened.
am i missing out on something ? i am able to connect to work pc to access my share folders there thru the wlan0 interface. i wish i could set up the printer too.

[Solved] Setting up AUCTeX in Emacs to work with Zathura (synctex etc)

I would like to set up AUCTeX to call upon Zathura as the output viewer - and enable synctex. I see the description of how to do this with the built-in TeX package in Emacs on the Arch wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/em … eX_support ), but I wondered if anyone has it set-up to work with AUCTeX?

I can't seem to get this to work. When I run it from emacs, nothing happens.
If I try running the script "by hand" from the terminal (after having compiled a LaTeX file, like file.tex, in AUCTeX),
e.g. if I run something like
zathura-sync.sh 976:1:/path/to/file.tex /path/to/file.pdf
, I get errors:

error: Error parsing command line arguments: Unknown option -s

What am I doing wrong?

How do i set up my wireless printer to work with my ipad 2

My ipad will not reconize my lexmark wireless printer what can I do

In UK BT generally use PPPoA authentication only so you will have to keep using the home hub as the main router. Put the Time Capsule.. TC.. in bridge mode. To do this go to the airport utility, on menu selection go to internet, and make sure it is set to ethernet for method of connection, and in connection sharing, select bridge. Then select update.. it will probably list some issues like password needing changing and access via wan etc .. almost all of which you can simply ignore.. as you are not using it in router mode.
The TC will save the setting and restart.. it will now exist as a wireless access point and switch on the network. The WAN is swapped to LAN, so there is no WAN port as such but it is still convenient to use WAN port marked <...> ethernet between home hub and the TC. Then setup wireless as you like. You can turn off the wireless in home hub, and just use the TC.. or use both, on different channels. That is no big problem. Set the security for the wireless is important and I would also manually set wireless channels and use different name for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless. But just start and learn what you need to as you go along. Getting the basics working should be fairly easy. Some of the more complex stuff you just need to read carefully the instructions..
And read this site.
Carefully and until your eyes bleed. Almost everything you want to know is there already.

There are many areas he covers.

Am considering buying a Time Capsule. But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection. Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule. I assume yes...?

A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John Lee

Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

I would like to buy a HP printer that works with Windows 8 preview.

Understand that HP will not release drivers for existing printers until August at earliest and that is OK....I have 3 HP Laserjet 1020s that have been great and will buy a new HP printer if it will work now with Windows 8 preview. Any suggestions or any fixes/patches for 1020 that work. Also interested in any non-HP printers that work with Windows 8 preview? Prefer HP but will buy first printer that works from any mfg. as I would like to give Windows 8 a real try. Believe HP is missing boat by not putting a patch out for some of their printers as soon as possible as I am not the only HP user looking to buy any printer that works with Windows 8.

When I connect windows Phone (HT7 using Windows Phone 7.5 (tried 2 phones) usb wont recognise it. Charges but no usb connection. USB works with HDD, Flash, 3G modem, Iphone, just no the Win 7.5 phone. Using 27" IMac with Lion.
I am running VMWare fusion when I connect any USB device Lion prompts to connect Windows or MAC. Both work for many devices. When I plug in the phone Lion simply does not respond.

Also.... my phone works and can do everything fine when not plugged in.. I just can't get my computer or others to recognize the darn thing when plugged in!

How do I get the printer to work with AirPort?

I have had my printer connected via USB cable to the AirPort for a while, but recently when I had to disconnect the printer for some home improvement, I ended up with problems.
Upon reconnecting the printer to the AirPort, I started receiving this message:
USB Power
A device connected to this Apple Wi-Fi base station's USB port requires more power than this Apple Wi-Fi base station can provide. Plug the device into a power supply if possible, or connect it to a powered USB hub.
My printer is connected to a power source, but I still cannot print to it. I can see the printer when I send something to be printed, but it will not actually print.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my printer to work again?

Thanks for the detail. The dash separates the "main" and "guest" network.
There are a number of settings that are 2.4 GHz on both networks. The only time the dash separates 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz is on the last 3 settings.
Since the printer specifications available on the HP site show it is a b/g device only, I suspect that the printer does not like the current guest setting of 802.11 b/g/n you are currently using, which is also what it would be if the AEBS was set on Automatic.
Try the following setting:
802.11n only 5 GHz - 802.11 b/g
It's really the only choice that would keep the 5 GHz that you want on the "main" network and possibly allow the printer to connect. Unfortunately, the optimal choice for range and speed is not the setting that you may need to work with the printer.
If the printer still won't connect, I would call it a day and when it comes time for a new printer, look first for an ethernet device or at least an "n" device that will handle 5 GHz if you want a wireless printer. The advantage of an ethernet printer would be that it would also work over your wireless.
Please post back on your findings.

Setting Up LG Wireless Adaptor to work with WRT54G router

My parents recently bought a High Def LG television and they got a wireless LG Adaptor for it (AN-WF100). My brother was able to insall it, but when we try to connect to the router, we get an error message saying that DHCP needs to be enabled. From what I can see when I go into the router settings, DHCP is enabled. We are pulling our hair out trying to figure out what settings we need on the router to make this work. We have tried both setting up the connection automatically and manually with the IP, Gateway, etc. I don't know what other information is needed, but I will provide further details if anyone has any ideas. We also have two applications set up under the Applications and Gaming tab (Nintendo DS and Wii). I don't know if that could be interfering with anything. Any help would be appreciated!
Solved!

Thanks!
The WEP/WPA was set by the one who configured the router. Make sure you are entering the correct character and it is case sensitive.

Will a D-Link DP-301P+ print server work with an HPLaserJet 5MP

Setup includes the following:
HP LaserJet 5MP (90's model and this thing is a true workhorse!)
Apple Airport Extreme wireless router
Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 (OSX.4.11)
iMac (OSX.6)
Mac Mini (OSX.6)
I purchased a D-Link DP-301P+ Fast Ethernet Print Server, with the intent to plug it into the printer's parallel port (36 pin) and then plugging an ethernet cable between the server and the wireless router. The only catch is that in order to plug the server into the printer, I will have to dremel out a small portion of the exterior casing of the printer (this is on the back side so it won't be noticeable). Thus my two questions......will this setup even work? Are there any special software settings needed? Thanks for helping out with this.

Have HP made any drivers/patches yet to allow HP Web Smart Printing to work with IE9?

Also is there any way of making HP Web Smart Printing to work with Mozilla Firefox?
Any help much appreciated - I have exhausted all options

HP Smart Web Printing has been replaced by HP Smart Printing, it supports IE6-IE9 (only).

Address Book bluetooth connection doesn't work with Nokia N90

I can't set up my Nokia N90 to work with the Address book for bluetooth dialing & sending SMS.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I found this info on the forum.
1. Check if the isync agent is installed on your phone. If not get go to your application folder/isync. control-click on the icon and choose "show package content". Navigate to /Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevices/Contents/Resources/Agents and drag a copy of AppleSyncAgent-s60v22.sis to your desktop.
2. Use the bluetooth "send file" option to send that file to your nokia. You will receive a message on the phone. Open that message and install the agent.
3. Remove your phone from the device list in isync and add it again.
4. Open address book and click bluetooth. It should connect straight away (no pairing request).
5. Now sending sms should be enabled.
6. Open isync and sync your device.

Printer that works with Airport Extreme Base Station

Hi. We are very new to Macs (2 weeks). Have a Mac Book and AEBS. Both work fine. Our HP printers, however, only work if connected directly to the Mac Book. I'm informed that we need to get a printer that works with the AEBS if we wish to have wireless printing. If anyone can recommend a printer that works with AEBS, we'd be grateful. Thanks.

Hello Jungle-cat. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Check out the following iFelix site to see which printers are known to work (not not) with the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
