TCP/IP Printing Issues on PC Network

I work in an office and am trying to connect to our networked printer. I am connected to the network via my personal AirPort Express (as are about 5 PCs), but I am the only Mac connected. The PC's connect to the printer via a TCP/IP PORT named RNP750855. I just set up a few PC's printing capabilities by creating a new Port (RNP750855) from within the PC's printer setup menu. Once the port was created, I was able to select the correct printer model (Lanier 5645 PCL 6) from a pull-down list. I can print to this printer from within Virtual PC, but I have not been able to connect directly from Mac Programs. Any advice on how to print via my Mac?

I wonder if this would help if you could find the IP address of the printer.

Printing issues to local network when AnyConnect VPN in use

I have situation where I have a user connecting to the corporate office from her home network using a Win7 laptop and AnyConnect VPN 3.1.01065. She has an IP HP printer on her local network. When she is connected via VPN, she cannot print to her printer, Win saying the printer is off-line. That said, we are allowing access to the remote local network with a "split-exlude" conifiguration on the ASA:
access-list LocalLANAccess standard permit host 0.0.0.0
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
vpn-tunnel-protocol ssl-client
split-tunnel-policy excludespecified
split-tunnel-network-list value LocalLANAccess
"Allow local (LAN) access when using VPN" in the AC preference tab is checked. And also, she can ping the local printer when connected via VPN. however, the printer appears off-line, from the laptop perspective, when the VPN is on, and will go back "on-line" when the VPN is disconnected.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to correct this?

Well, if you want a workaround to apply for all VPN Client then you need to go for split-tunnel-policy tunnelspecified instead of split-tunnel-policy excludespecified. Suppose if your corporate network is 10.0.1.0/24 and you want to give the access to this subnet for vpn users.then configuration will be as follows.
access-list CorporateLAN standard permit 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
vpn-tunnel-protocol ssl-client
no split-tunnel-policy excludespecified
split-tunnel-policy tunnelspecified
split-tunnel-network-list value CorporateLAN
This will solve the problem globally

HP deskjet 3520 network print issues

Getting towards the end of my rope. I have an HP deskjet 3520 with wireless print capability from the network and have successfully been able to send jobs to the printer to print for the last 11 months. It can no longer print jobs from the network despite having an IP address and being visible by all machines connected to the network.
Each time I try to send a document to be printed.
I do not have MAC address filtering enabled on the router. I've updated the firmware via USB connection and re-installed the drivers and software to no effect. I've power-cycled the device, restarted the computer(s) that would print via the network to the printer, etc. I've done everything that I know how to get network printing fixed with no success.
I've also run the print doctor 4.5 program which can find the printer on the network, but then gets no response from the device when trying to access it.
Has anyone else had a similar problem with this model? Any ideas as to what can be done to get it to start printing documents that get sent to it form the network? I've been directed to this forum off web searches, but there are a lot of responses with links in them that have ether been relocated to a different web address, or have been deleted.
Any help is greatly apprectiated.
Thank you for your time.

Hey @Tom801,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like assist you today with resolving the network communication issues you're experiencing with your HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer. As I understand, you are able to 'see' the printer through the Print and Scan Doctor and from the other computers on your network. But, you are not able to print to the Deskjet. I have a few troubleshooting suggestions to start with.
Gather the IP Address:
1. Select the Wireless Button on the front panel of your printer.
2. Your IP address should now display, please note down what this is.
Open the EWS Browser:
1. On one of the computers that you would normally use with this printer, open your Internet Browser.
2. In the website address bar at the top of the page type in your IP address (do not include www.)
3. Select enter on your keyboard to search for the printer Embedded Web Server.
Does a website open for your printer?
If the printers website opens than that proves that the printer is in fact still connected and communicating with your wireless network. If the website fails to open than the printer is being blocked from the network.
You noted in your post that you have Mac Filtering disabled, updated the firmware for the printer, and powercycled the printer and computer. Did you ever powercycle the router? If not, can I please have you do that now.
How to Properly Powercycle your Network:
1. First, unplug your routers power cable
2. Power off your printer
3. Power off your computer
4. After 30 seconds to 1 minute plug in your router
5. Turn on your printer
6. Turn on your computer
Once the network connection is re-established on your computer and printer please check your IP address once again on the printer using the steps I provided above.
Can you open the printer website now with the IP Address?
If yes, than it seems like your router had blocked communication to the printer. To avoid this in the future you can:
Open the Router Ports:
- Incoming (UDP) Ports:
137, 138, 161, 427
- Outgoing (TCP) Ports:
137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
Also, you can refer to the steps within Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection for additional configuration options. Focus on Solution two for assigning a static IP.
Please let me know if the steps provided resolve you issue. Good luck!

Annoying Network Printer Issue

Hi guys! So I have this really annoying issue at work, and all of us admin are pretty upset that none of us can figure this problem out! We work at a military base and we manage the local network here, among with all the other computer. But here is our issue. Every morning that we come into work, there is always papers on our printer. Someone continues to print to our printer and we cannot figure out who! Is there any way to check on the print server and see exactly what computer is printing to our printer? We have gone around from office to office and asked if someone printed out certain documents, but I believe some of the guys are just lying when they say no! All we need is a method to figure out exactly which computer keeps printing to our printer. The event logs on the server only show the time and document name, but no computer name :/ We do have the option to remove the share from our printer, but we do not really want to do that. Help please! By the way, our printe is a HP Laserjet 4250dn

If you have the printer on a print server, then on the driver on the server look for what is called a banner page. Activate it so each job that comes to the printer will have a banner page telling you what computer belongs to each job. I would just activate it at night before I leave to see if there is a print job in the morning and know which computer sent it and then turn it off so you do not waste paper during the day. This will not work if people have the printer loaded as a local tcp/ip printer on any of the computers.

Issues adding TCP/IP Printer with Group Policy

I have been trying to add a TCP/IP Printer using group policy, User Preferences. I can add a HP Laserjet 4600 Printer but I'm not able to add the second printer a Canon iRC4580. It keeps coming up with issues stating "The object selected does not match
the type of destination source. Select again" I have read through multiple tech forums on this error and I have tried unlisting the printer and listing it again in the directory. I have also tried renaming it to a short name without spaces. neither of
these have resolved the issue. I have also tried creating a new printer from scratch for the canon and this doesn't resolve it either.
Anyone out there who can help.

Printer issue with network printer model # laserjet 4350tn

printjobs of multiple pages is inserting blank pages in the job ex. if its an 6 page job it will mix in 1-2 blank pages in between.
Is it mechanical a setting on the printer itself or the printer properties on the network that is causing it.
Users experiencing issue have windows xp

after perhaps 1/4 page of print I get an "out of memory" error message.
You are probably using background printing. Your print image is written to a spool file and the keyboard is freed up for your use, while the de-spooler (such as Print Monitor, Espon3 Background, or whatever that printer uses) works in the background, sending your document to the printer.
The out-of-memory message is likely coming from the de-spooler, not the Mac OS. To fix, either allocate more memory to your de-spool program, or print "live" and endure not being able to use the keyboard while your document prints.
I have max ram installed (384MB)
Contrary to what the knowledgebase says, all models and all revisions of Beige G3 can run 3*256 MB RAM, for a maximum of 768 MB total, provided you install the correct 256 MB modules for a Beige or Blue & White G3. There are module height limits for the desktop model, modest ones for the tower, and for all practical purposes none for the All-In-One.
If I boot straight into OS 9, ... the USB port doesn't show up in the port list.
If you are using the same image for Classic and Mac OS 9, you may not have the correct Mac OS 9 drivers for the USB card installed. The simplest fix is to re-install Mac OS 9, taking care to Re-install all Networking items. It is not destructive, and generally takes only a few minutes.

Multiple computers network printing issues

Hi All,
I am hoping someone can help.
I have 8 x 2.4 ghz 24" Imacs operating 10.4.11 networked via ethernet to two printers, (Canon ipf5000 and Canon ipf6100). The Imacs are wired through Cisco switches to the printers. When sending from Adobe CS4 I use a specific Canon printing plugin for the printers mentioned. When I have multiple print drivers running, (or even open and not active), the printer driver can't handle it. The various drivers seem to affect each other causing miscues galore. Will a true print server clear this up?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
phil

Hi j_dext,
I understand the printer is setup on the network and working on the one computer but the other one isn't recognizing the printer.
I will be happy to help you.
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
Printing Information Pages. Go to the section M1210 / M1218nfs series to print it from the control panel.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the embedded web server for the printer.
Type the IP address into Internet Explorer address bar.
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the computer and router.
Make sure the computer is on the proper network.
Find out what the computers IP address is.
Hold down the Windows key on the keyboard and the letter R.
Then type "cmd", then type "ipconfig".
Check the computers IPv4 address.
The first 3 sets of numbers should match the first 3 sets of numbers on the printers IP address to be on the same network.
Do the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer's IP address?
Try and ping the printer.
In the same window type ping IP address of printer. (space in between ping and the IP)
Do you get any replies back?
Then run the installation again if everything is recognized and you get a reply back.

HP 1200 Network Printing issue

I am a Mac user on a Windows Network. We have an HP 1200 that I have always been able to print to on the network. Our Tech guy upgraded the network this summer and now the HP 1200 doesn't show up when I run Printer Set Up Utility. What do I need to tell the Tech guy to do to get the printer to show up?

My guess is that it is no longer shared out the way it used to be. Since it is not (it has a USB and paralel connection, but no ethernet connection) a true network printer, you'd really need ask him what he changed about the way it was shared out, and then report back if you two can't figure it out from there. It could have been accessible a few different ways, so folks here could only guess what has changed.

HP Printer Issue

We have a problem printing on an HP PhotoSmart 7550 printer connected via USB to a Windows XP/Media Center server connected wirelessly to our network. I installed Network Magic to try and assist with this issue and have no luck on fixing.
Specifics of our environment are as follows:
Network Magic Version 5.5.9118.2-Pure0
Internet connection via DSL through a Linksys WRT610N router with firmware 1.00.02 B10
All computers in same workgroup
WRT610N has 2 radios: laptops using 5mHz connection with server using 2.4mHz connection (different SSIDs), but has not worked with single SSID either
XP server is XP2 and has a USB connection to the HP printer. Server and laptops (2) connected wirelessly to the WRT610N. Both laptops are running Vista 64-bit and all computers are in the same workgroup.
File sharing works fine so I know we can get to the server. HP does not have a Vista driver for the PhotoSmart printer, but they do have a workaround with a built-in driver for a DeskJet 5550. The printer works fine on the XP server and the laptops can see the printer in the NM network map, but when trying to connect various errors occur as in printer is not found, driver is incorrect need to install correct .INF file, etc. I have configured a TCP/IP printer in Vista to the printer, but nothing happens at the printer end.
One laptop is running ZoneAlarm Extreme Security as is the XP server, but the other laptop is using Norton. This problem has actually existed prior to Network magic being installed and I have gone through many iterations of trying to fix with no luck. All firewalls appear to be correct with NM having full authority across the network and devices.
Any ideas or help is very much appreciated ...

Hi, on your Vista comp, go to Network and Sharing Center make sure the Network Type is set to Public, then enable File and Printer Sharing, Public Folder Sharing and Network Discovery.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Create TCP/IP Printing Port for OfficeJet Pro 8600

I need to print across a hardware firewall (from wireless to wired networks, different subnet), so I need to create a standard TCP/IP printing port in Windows 7. Does the printer use RAW on TCP port 9100 or are there other settings I need to configure?
Thanks.

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue with the printer not being able to print over a firewall.
I believe the easiest way to do this would be to unblock the ports rather than adding a printer through windows.
Router settings for HP Printers
Router should be broadcasting in “G Mode only”. This normally means turning “Mixed mode” off.
For Dual Band Routers, make sure they have disabled the 5ghz band and should only be operating on 2.4ghz
Mac filtering should be disabled
Security type should be “WPA 2 Personal”
On some routers they have a “hardware firewall”, so the below ports would need to be opened
UDP- 5353 67 80 547 53 5222 5223 5355 137 138 139 443 427 161 514 3702 5357 445 3910 Port range: 9999 - 65535
TCP- 445 80 68 8080 443 137 138 139 427 5222 5223 9100 445 515 161 9101 9102 9103 9110 9220 9290 9280 9500

Adobe reader 11.0.5 - cannot print pdf file to network printer

I have a 64 bit HP Pavilion a6230n PC running Windows 7, fully updated. I have wireless connection to a home file/printer server. My printer, a Brother HL-5140, is connected via USB to the file/printer server. All my other Windows programs capable of printing can print on the network printer - all except adobe reader. Adobe Reader sees the printer and all printing processes appear to be sending the file to the printer, however, the printer never gets the document. I've tried printing as a document, in which case the document sits in the printer queue until I delete it. If I send it as an image, each queue entry is deleted after adobe thinks it has printed. Again, nothing ever prints on the printer, and again, no other program running on my computer has any problems printing to this printer.
I would appreciate any help with this problem.
Addendum - 4 Nov 13:
I uninstalled adobe reader 11 and installed a much earlier version, and now I can print pdf files. Clearly the printing issue is with the current versions of adobe reader.

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

Remote Desktop Connection and printing issues

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and also connected to Windows Server 2008 R2 to run applications in Windows Server. However, I noted there is problem with the printer issues. Sometimes, when I tried to print some documents using applications
in Windows Server with my local printer in my room connected to desktop, it won't work.
Moreover, I need to go to Windows Server, Component Service to restart printer spooler so it will work again. This is a pain.
I also noticed there is about 30 seconds wait to process any document to print.
Unlike if I print documents directly from my local desktop computer running Windows 7 and connected to local printer, it only takes seconds to print.
My desktop is connected to Windows Server 2008 via local area network. I should not expect such a significant delay in printing.
I also wonder why printer spooler needs to be restarted when printer is not working.
Can anyone advise me about this? Can Microsoft looks into this problem and release updates to fix the bug to improve the system?
Thanks
Regards,
Clement

Hi,
Please check if you turn on this settings:
You need to set this up just before you connect. The setting will be saved so that you won't need to change it the next time you connect.
1. Open Remote Desktop Connection by clicking the Start button, clicking
All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking
Remote Desktop Connection.
2.Click Options, and then click the Local Resources
tab.
3.Under Local devices and resources, select the Printers check box.
4.Click Connect to start the session.
Make sure that you select your printer in the Print dialog box each time you print.

HP LaserJet Pro m201dw suddenly not printing via ethernet (wired) network using Mac OS 10.10.1

Hi,
My brand-new HP LaserJet Pro M201dw is suddenly not cooperating when I go to print using my Mac. I had it set up following the directions which closest matched my OS and it worked perfectly for one week; today suddenly it won't cooperate. The printer is seen on the network. I have deleted and re-installed it from my System Preferences several times. I have rebooted my computer. I cannot seem to get it to work. Even the HP Utility is having difficulty. The HP Utility is suddenly slow and often needs to be force-quit as it hangs when I navigate to other applications (web browser, etc.) while waiting for it to respond to clicks. Most often the HP Utility shows the printer in the status ara as "Device Status: Unknown" and "Supplies: Unknown" which it wasn't having issues with yesterday.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this device? Is there better documentation than the basic setup page here on HP? What about adjusting some setting in the printer web page (which I can access) - is the answer in there?
Thank you.

Hi @td2243,
I see that you are having issues printing over the wired network. I would like to help you out with this issue today.

I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I use for my work and I have had this printer for ever and it is one heck of a work horse! I am trying to get it connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer. I have tried to reconfigure the printer using the JetDirect menu giving it a new IP address but still no luck. If anyone could help me through this issue I would appreciate it.

Thanks for responding.
When does clicking on "Connect As" happen in the process above?
After step six? Seven?
After the connection has failed?
Is this the FInder window that shows the icon of the computer you want to copy the file from?
You should see "Connect As" in the Finder near the top right of the window as shown below:
