Tiger iMac cannot print on Leopard iMac.. what gives?

The setup: 20" iMac with Leopard installed, and a Brother HL-2030 working fine through USB.
A 17" iMac of the same build of the 20" mac, with Tiger. It detects the Brother printer, but as soon as it tries to send a document to the network printer.
Both machines are hooked with a wireless network through Airport device.
I suspect it's because the Tiger cannot communicate with leopard. which, if I'm right, is absolutely absurd. anyone else with a similar problem or a solution please?
Many thanks
David

Anyone please? Is this really such a difficult question?

  • How do i set up a new lion imac from a snow leopard imac using time machine?

    How do i set up a new lion imac from a snow leopard imac using time machine?

    Connect the two via Firewire cable - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old iMac into Target Disk Mode. Boot the new iMac normally.
    If you are starting the new iMac for the first time then do the above before you turn on the new iMac. After you turn on the new iMac you will begin in the Setup Assistant. When you complete the registration screens you will be offered an opportunity to migrate your data from another Mac. Follow the instructions to migrate your old Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences to the new iMac.
    If you have already gone through the Setup Assistant and created an initial admin user account, then you do the connection step but will use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder of the new iMac.

    I cannot print.  I am able to select what I want to print on my phone, then I click 'Next'.  From there, I do not know how to actually print the job.  How do I select my printer on my phone so that it prints on my printer (HP Photosmart D110).

  • Installed mountain lion, now I cannot print wirelessly from imac or macbook

    I installed mountain lion. I updated as much as there is to update via software. Now when I try to print wirelessly from my imac and macbook pro it says "unalbe to find printer" and printer is not connected from both computers.
    I reconfigured the Brother MFC 7840W printer settings and it says that it is connected. I've always been able to print before, so this is related to the new ML installation.

    also, the printer says it is not connected, maybe if i connect it, i can print wirelessly. how do i connect it?

  • Cannot print Snow Leopard - Windows 7 x64 Shared Printer

    I need to configure printer sharing between a 64-bit Win7 Ultimate dektop and a Macbook Pro laptop running OS X Snow Leaopard (10.6). I have followed all of the conventional wisdom I can find on the net without success.

All updates applied to both systems, latest printer drivers on both.

Both systems in the same homegroup on the same subnet. IP addressed assigned via DHCP but preconfigured at the router -- essentially, fixed.

I've tried this with AV and firewalls on and of on both machines; same results
    File sharing works in both directions

Win7 configured as follows:
    All Print and Document Services Enabled
Printer: Canon Pixma MX700 connected via USB
    Share This Printer on for both printer and FAX (it’s a MF printer)
Network discover: on
File & printer sharing: on
Anyone with network access can read/write
Media streaming: off
Enable sharing for devices that use 40- or 56- bit encryption
Password protected sharing: off
Allow windows to manage homegroup connections
Network profile set to Work

Snow Leopard configured as follows:
    System preferences->Print&Fax->Add Printer->Advanced
    Add printer
    Type = Windows
    URL= smb://user:password@workgroup/cptrname/MX700 -or-
    URL = smb://user:password@workgroup/192.168.1.10/MX700
    Print using: Chhose a Driver or Printer Model: Camon Pixma MX700
    The printer configures successfully and I can queue print jobs from the Mac. It shows up in the appropriate print queue on the Windows machine as Remote Downlevel Document and hangs in Spooling state. The only way to delete the document is to reset the print subsystem on the Mac.
    I also tried unchecking “Enable bidirectional printing” under the printer properties on the Mac to no effect.

    Your issue is with the Canon driver. It cannot be used on the Mac when you have the Canon inkjet shared by Windows. For these types of connections, you need to use an alternate driver, such as the Gutenprint driver set.
    The only problem with Gutenprint is that your MX700 is not listed as a supported printer. So, you could spend hours trying to find which of the other Canon models that are supported by Gutenprint will work to your printer. Or, you could look at purchasing PrintFab.

  • Kodak 5300 - Cannot print after Leopard install

    1) Latest drivers from Kodak reinstalled
    2) Get a "raster stream error" when you try to print. Any attempt at printing results in stopped jobs due to this error.
    Sean

    Much to my surprise, I received a reply from Kodak a mere few hours after emailing them on Sunday morning. They advised me that a new version of their all-in-one printer software (1.2.0 Release 3) for Leopard will be available on the web on Monday, October 29th.

  • Kodak 5500 - cannot print after Leopard install

    Just want to throw this printer into the list of printers that do not work after Leopard install. I get a raster stream error. I have reinstalled Kodak software; deleted and readded printer, etc, etc,. Still now printing. Scanning works fine though!

  • My MBP desktop came up "paisley print" this morning. What gives?

    Using MacBook Pro, purchased Aug 2013
    This morning upon wakening MBP from sleep, the desktop came up "paisley print", and then went to completely pixellated. I tried looking at PhotoShop elements first because that was the last program I used. The Edit screen came up its usual gray and black, with very little or no pixellation. I went to Preferences where everything was pix., then clicked on color, my regular desktop appeared as it should, no pix. I then clicked display and it was fine, too.  My last two Macs, one the original iMac (white dome) and the first Mac Book Pro, did similar things before dying. Can anyone give me some ideas about what is going on and what needs to be done?

    Hi Newyorkee,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your MacBook Pro is showing pixelation or a "paisley print" on the screen.
    I recommend trying these troubleshooting steps to address the issue:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    From:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
    Next, try booting into Safe Mode to see if the pixelation happens there:
    Starting up in Safe Mode
    Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
    Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
    After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.
    From:
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
    If the display looks the same after trying all of these steps, the article above recommends contacting Apple Support or visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider:
    If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
    Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
    Best Regards,

  • Cannot open Socket from Javascript - what gives?

    I have a JavaScript script that works fine from most computers. One of the things it does at startup is send a request to a server on the internet ("www.moiraitools.com:80"). I've seen issues connecting before, but they are usually transient. Numerous weird errors occur in script when the preferences file is corrupt, including this (and not being able to create a Window object, etc.). Sometimes resetting preferences works.
    But I now have one computer where I cannot get the connection to work and cannot figure out why. The computer has no web proxy settings configured, so it connects directly to hosts on the internet. The same server:port works fine from a browser on the same computer. But the connection fails to open from the script running in Photoshop.
    Any ideas what else could cause this problem? Is there a setting or preference that could disable this functionality?

    There is a Photoshop preference to allow extensions to connect to the internet. But that preference doesn't seem to affect javascripts. Does that user have firewall software installed? I know there was a time when I had to change the settings in Norton 360 before a script would connect using Socket.

  • With Firefox 4.0 beta 12, I can no longer print legible articles from the NYT or elsewhere; I have to go to Explorer to print the articles. What gives?

    When I print an article from the NYT or elsewhere, I get pages that are illegible--as if written in code. I never had this problem before. I must go to Explorer to print--or copy & paste to Word and then prin the Word document. Obviously there is a malfunction interfering with the printing.

    There is a known bug involving printing in beta 12. This has been fixed in the Firefox 4 release candidate which is now available.

  • Cannot print with hp 2600n through network

    I installed Leopard on my two month old Imac(latest model) with no real glitches and thought all was fine until I tried printing with my HP color laserjet 2600n through my network.
    I get my network showing up as guest sharing(not logging me in under my name) and even though I could print fine with Tiger, I cannot print with Leopard. The request shows up in the print queue but does not print.
    Any advice would be appreciated. I was never prompted before for a password everytime I printed and was always logged in to my network and not a guest sharing before. I know I'm missing something here but everything else transferred over fine from Tiger but the printer is a mystery.
    Thank you for any help,
    Nathan

    Try resetting the base station that your printer USB is plugged into.

  • Printing problems with Lexmark Wi-Fi printer linked to iMac

    We have a Lexmark X6570 Wireless printer. This unit works flawlessly with our MacBook Pro on the AirPort Express Wi-Fi system in the house, whihc was the first Apple computer we bought in September 2007. More recently, in November 2008, we purchased a second Mac, an IMac 24-inch desktop and linked it to the AirPort Express. The problem is that we cannot print via the iMac. Whenever we ask for a print of a Mail message, a Safari web page, an Adobe Reader page, a TextEdit page or a Pages file (when we are actually working on a draft), the application closes by itself and we get the following error message (for the Mail example): "The Mail application had to close unexpectedly. The problem could be caused by the IJPrintQuality module". By the way, the only time the printer actually printed from the iMac was when I open a saved Pages file. Then it prints OK and almost every time. But that is the only instance when the iMac prints from the Lexmark. We have spoken to Lexmark on numerous occasions and reinstalled all drivers and all Lexmark software on the iMac, but without success.

    For those running into this same prpoblem, Lexmark foun a solution for me. If you get that error message, try to access your HD -> Library -> Printers -> Lexmark -> PDE's folder. Under that folder, locate the IJPrintQuality, then remove it. Then try to print again. If you get another similar error message, you may also have to remove three other plug-ins: IJAdvancedOptions, IJColorOptions and IJPrinterServices before the programs stops crashing. I am now testing the printing of different documents from different applications, and it continues to work well.

  • Riddle:  Printing from iMAC to printer on networked print server

    Here is a Doozy:
    I am having trouble printing from my new Intel iMac over a wireless network, through an attached print server.
    Here is the layout & issue:
    Configuration:
    I have a Windows XP PC & iMac in my office.
    I have a wireless network connecting the 2.
    On this network & have attached the SimpleShare 250GB network HDD, with print server
    I have a Canon Pixma 800 attached via USB to the SimpleShare print server.
    Issue:
    The iMAC cannot print out of the printer.
    The iMAC searches, finds & installs the printer (name: MP800, puts it in WORKGROUP, with queue of MP800)
    It sends the job & says the job is done (looking good!).
    I hear the HDD fire up (a couple clicks). But nothing prints out & the printer does not recognize a job was sent to it. (ARGHH!)
    I have:
    upgraded to the latest firmware on SimpleShare.
    The windows PC prints fine to the printer, through this same configuration.
    The iMAC prints fine to the printer when connected directly.
    The iMAC reads/writes fine to the HDD itself through the network.
    The internet connection works fine through this configuration.
    The ONLY issue is getting a print job from the iMAC to the printer.
    ANY & ALL help is appreciated, its driving me crazy...

    I suspect it may be a driver issue.
    It may work with the PrintFab Drivers (but these cost).
