Tiger machines can't print to Leopared shared printer

I have an HP Laserjet 1320 connected to my Mac Mini (Leopard) and this works as expected with that machine. I have tried sharing this, and other machines on my network (all running Tiger) can connect to port 631 on the Mini and print test pages. However, they can't actually print anything from any application. Instead, a dialog box saying simply "Error while printing" pops up.
All the Mini's cups logs look fine, but the other machines say such things as:
I [13/Nov/2007:20:09:26 +0000] Added remote printer "HPLaserJet_1320series@utovogh"...
E [13/Nov/2007:20:09:35 +0000] getprinterattrs: resource name '/printers/ ' no good!
Configuring the printer as an IPP printer rather than relying on bonjour gives different effects. The job starts to print but then the printer is stopped. The printing machines' logs say:
I [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Connected to utovogh.local...
D [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Getting supported attributes...
E [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] PID 412 stopped with status 1!
E [13/Nov/2007:21:01:22 +0000] [Job 3] Destination printer does not exist!
Has anyone any suggestions?

Eventually I discovered the following.
When setting up the client machines to print to the shared printer, the machine hosting the printer identified itself with bonjour as $HOSTNAME.local. Upon looking at http://localhost:631 on the client machines I noticed that the printer was identified as $PRINTER_NAME@$HOSTNAME, the ".local" part having disappeared. So, the solution was to add an entry to /etc/hosts on the clients.
Next, to find out why printing is so slow from the clients...

Since loading Tiger I can't print or use Macromedia

Anyone havining similar problems and found a work around?

Can not print nor scan since Tiger upgrade

Since I've upgraded to Tiger I can not print using my Canon i9900 (driver version 2.5.1) or scan using my Epson perfection 3200. Both use firewire. My Sandisk card reader which is USB is fine. When I try to print using Photoshop, Photoshop says I need an "acquistion module interface" (some plug-in). In system profiler, under firewire it doesn't list either my printer or scanner.... it just gives the maxium speed of the firewire bus.
I've tried reinstalling the printer & scanner, I tried downloading the latest Epson scanner driver from their website, I've checked all the connections, I reset the printing system and I've tried everything I could think of with adding, deleting and reconfiguring the printer. In the printer set up menu, I couldn't find my printer so I manually typed it in, the location was unknown. Does anyone know what the choices should be for location? I only use one printer and it's plugged directly into the computer.

you might try to re-import them (from the iP library 4) into the iP library 5, (while iP5 is running).
Drag pics from old library4 onto the iP5 window while it's in operation. It will import your pics into the new IP5 library.
Else, when you upgraded to iP5, and opened iP5 for the first time, you should have gotten a message that the old iP4 library needed to be updated. If you said yes, then the old/newly converted iP library, will not open with iP4 anymore. You can move up, but not down!
So if you are not sure, always make a backup of your ip4 library, before upgrading to ip5!
hope it helps!

Having trouble connecting to 10.4 Tiger machine

Hi everyone, I'm new on this forum so bear with me. I did some searching here and through Google but can't find any real solutions.
I just bought a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.4 I think) installed. My old machine (still in use) is another MacBook Pro running Tiger (10.4.11). I am trying to connect to the old machine through the network so that I can copy all (well most) of the data over. However, when I try to connect through the network, the new machine never finds the old one. I have tried afp://old-computer-name.local and even the IP address but not luck. If worse comes to worst, then I'll just pull the HD out of the old machine and put it in a USB enclosure, but I was hoping to avoid that.
Thanks in advance for any help you might have to offer.

I figured it out. Although I never had to do this with 2 OS X 10.4 Tiger machines, I wound up turning on sharing. Once I did, the Tiger machine showed up on the SL machine.
Thanks all for looking.

Network printer issue - User can't print once logged back in. Windows 7

Hello
I have a bit of a mystery. We have a networked printer which everyone can printer to a part from one user. When you try printing from any application the "print" gets sent then nothing, not even in the print queue.
However in the same office everyone else can print.
I have tried the following.
Made sure the printer is set to default.
Sign in as Admin - I can print
Other users - Can print
Removed the device in the users profile re-added the device user can print.
But when the user logs out and logs back in they can't print.
Restarted print spooler. - No luck.
No errors and printer always showing online.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
Windows 7 machine
Thank you
Adam

1. Have you used the printui.exe tool to remove the print drivers? 2. If you sign the user to other machine can he print there? 3. Have you tried to recreate the user profile on that machine?

Can't print from Tiger to a shared printer on Mountain Lion

Hello,
I have a branch office that's running Mountain Lion on one computer and Tiger on the other. How can I print from the Tiger machine to a shared printer on the Mountain Lion computer? I should point out that this isn't a problem when the printer is shared from the Tiger machine, just the other way around.
Thanks,
Patrick

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 to Shared PSC 1315 on XP Machine

I have an HP PSC 1315 connected to a Windows XP (32 bit) machine. This printer is shared. I can access it from other XP machines on my home network. I cannot access it from my Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I can see the printer is shared on the machine, but when I double click on it, I get the following error:
"Windows can't find a driver for hp spc 1310 series on the network. To locate one manually, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and consult your network administrator or the printer manufacturer's website."
So I tried downloading the Windows 7 (64 bit) driver from HP and installed it on my Windows 7 machine:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-75052-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=ca&...
At the end of the install, it asks to connect the printer to the computer through USB. Since I'm not physically connecting the printer to the Windows 7 machine, I check the box that says I can't connect to it right now and proceed to finish.
I then tried to connect to the printer and I get the same error. I try locating a driver manually. I point to c:\windows\inf\ with no success (I'm *assuming* the driver info would get installed there, though I don't know what the .inf name is). Windows says it can't find a suitable driver. Possibly I should be looking for it elsewhere?
I found some troubleshooting utility on HP's website, but it doesn't give "shared printer over a network" as one of the connection schemes to troubleshoot.
I'm kinda stumped on this one. Hoping it's going to be something simple I missed.
Thanks!

Here is a nice explanation of how to share a printer from an XP PC to a Windows 7 PC on a home network. This should work since the Windows 7 (64-bit) PC can see the Windows XP 32-bit partition. What you missed was the type of port to use for the networking connection.

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?
*Edited*
When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach. A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group. If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.
Click on Install a printer on a home network to get basic steps to install a printer in a network environment.

Windows XP can't print to MacMini OSX 10.4.9 Tiger shared HP printer

Hello All,
I have a MacMini running OS X 10.4.9 with an HP Office Pro L7780 All-in-one installed via wireless. I can print from the Mini but I can not print from my Windows XP laptop. I do have sharing enabled, the printer is installed on the Windowx XP laptop, etc. everything looks fine.
When I try to print from the Windows laptop it thinks it's printer, but nothing happens on the actual printer. If I look at the print queue on the Mini I never see the print job in the 'active' window, but I do see the print job in the 'completed' window.
Any ideas? I'm stumped.
Oh and I did try resetting the printing system, I deleted and added the printer on the Mini and Windows XP a few times, I rebooted both machines.
-tjw

On the XP laptop, try using a generic PostScript driver instead of the L7780 Windows driver. If there is no generic option, try using the HP LJ5000PS.

Printing from Leopard to shared printer on Tiger machine = nothing

I have 3 Epson printers attached to a G4 iMac on my wireless network. I used to be able to print from them perfectly from my MacBook Pro without any issues. Recently installed Leopard and updated to 10.5.2. Now my MBP can see all these printers and I can add them to my list of printers in the Print & Fax pref. pane, but when I try to print to them (Using the newest epson drivers) the jobs queue up in the print queue but never seem to make it to the iMac. I'm not getting any error messages - it seems like the jobs are just lost in space somewhere.
It also seems that I've lost all of the printer-specific options in the print dialog - paper type, color adjustment, etc. that I was able to control before installing leopard. Anyone else able to solve this issue?

OK update...after removing all installed printers from both computers and reinstalling the newest drivers for all the printers, I can now print from the MacBook Pro to the iMac, but I still don't have access to any of the printer-specific options like paper type, print quality or color adjustment. These settings are VERY important to me! Anyone know of any way to get them back?
Thanks!

Can't print to shared c4640 from network.

I have a c4640 connected by usb to a windows 7 x64 machine and can't print to it from any computer on my network (one is a vista 32 bit and one is windows 7 x64). The networked computers don't show the printer in the add printers list, but it is listed with the shared folders of the host computer. I can add the printer from the hosts list of shared items and it appears to install correctly. When I try to print from the windows 7 machine, the first time it goes to the queue and after about 20 seconds it leaves the queue, but nothing prints. If I try to print again it doesn't even go into the queue. When I try from the vista machine it says test page failed to print. I have tried turning off my firewall, installing and re-installing the drivers, and adding the printer manually with no help.

I cannot get my HP952C printer to finish the Bonjour printer wizard. The wizard lists the printer but it gives me this error: "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer" at the finish step. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.1. I've just switched over to a Mac but I still have PC's on the network that would like to use this printer. The PC is running XP. Any suggestions?

Can I repair a Snow Leopard disk from a Tiger machine?

I had the hard drive go down on a MacPro with an Intel processor running OS 10.6.4. When I try to boot, it gets to the Apple screen and shuts down. Running the disk utility from the installation disk gives me the error:
Checking HFS Plus Volume
Invalid Extent Entry
Volume Check Failed
I pulled the drive and connected it with a USB adapter to a spare Mac G5 with a PowerPC processor running Tiger 10.4.11. I can read the disk on the G5 with Tiger. Disk utility on the G5 gives me the same error when trying to repair the disk.
Are there any utilities out there I can run on Tiger to repair the Snow Leopard disk? Free if possible?
Or a good OSX utility that will let me image the drive to another hard drive? This is a production machine in a printing environment and I need to get it back up and running as soon as possible.
Thx...
Carvelli

I could not repair the disk from the command line either. It gave me the same error messages. I did not try Carbon Copy Cloner...yet. I had an extra 250GB drive which I re-installed 10.6.4.
I can bring up the old drive on the USB adapter, so I am going to try the Mac Migration Assistant. Which I've never done before. Does anyone know if it bring over all the applications during the migration? Or will I have to re-install all the applications over again?

Sharing external drives to tiger machine

i have a mac mini with 2 external firewire drives connected to it, running 10.5.2. i have selected "shared folder" from the get info window and have also setup the sharing preferences to share both drives. from my other machine running tiger, i can consistently see one of the drives, but the second one doesn't show up anymore. i used disk utility to erase and re-create the second drive and it seemed to work until i rebooted the machine and then it disappeared again. any thoughts?

This may be more an issue with the machine that can't see the drive than with Leopard; as long as your firewall is configured to allow the shares, there shouldn't be much of an issue.
When I ran tiger I had no end of difficulties with shared drives of any kind - windows, mac, linux, external, internal, whatever. They simply wouldn't show up in finder.
My solution was to simply use cmd-k in finder to connect to the share directly (ie. entering the server address of the share manually). But to do this, you have to know the exact address to input.
So, here are some steps:
1.) Open terminal
2.) type 'df' and hit enter
The output should be something like:
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2 268435456 225710264 42213192 85% /
devfs 218 218 0 100% /dev
fdesc 2 2 0 100% /dev
map -hosts 0 0 0 100% /net
map auto_home 0 0 0 100% /home
//GUEST:@foodar:139/store 2420087928 2389578912 30509016 99% /Volumes/store
The bit you're interested in is the last line: //user:@foodar:139/store
So now go to the computer that isn't detecting them, open finder, and hit cmd-k
in the address bar, input cifs://user:@foodar:139/store
(obviously replacing "user" with the username and "foodar" with the server's address.
And that should cover it for you...

Upgrade to tiger, can't print from any app

Hi All
I normally fix my own problems, but this has me stumped.
I've upgraded to tiger and done a software update to 10.4.7.
Now I can't print from any app.
I've done the "reset printing system" but this hasn't worked.
All my printers are ethernet networked, no USB.
At this time of writing, I have just managed to print from indesing CS2, but nothing else, mail, textedit, acrobat, none of them work...
...Don't suppose anyone has any ideas?
PS, when I attempt to print, my app is quit and I have to relaunch.

G5dp, G4qs, mini, eMac, G3 & iPod... big TFT & Nespresso coffee machine! Mac OS X (10.4.7) Should of stayed with panther!

I had the same problem when I upgraded to Tiger. I have a HP PSC 2175 All-in-one printer. I solved my problem by uninstalling the HP printer software, emptying the trash, restarting, and reinstalling the HP printer software. I also installed the lastest HP printer driver, which I downloaded from the HP website.
I repaired permissions after doing all that, and now everything seems to print fine.
I suspect the same steps might work for other printers, as well.
The relevant page from the HP site is here: http://tinyurl.com/ztkwq
Macfixit also has a tutorial for troubleshooting printer problems. I have not tried any of the solutions which involve downloading troubleshooting software. Maybe someone else here can say whether the software mentioned in the article works well or not. You can find the Macfixit information here: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060724111816602
Hope that helps.

Printer attached to wifi AP shows up under 'Shared' in Finder; can't print

I have reviewed quite a few threads on Bonjour printing problems cropping up in the move from 10.4 to 10.5. I still can't seem to get mine to work.
I printed fine to my printer (connected to wireless AP) under Tiger, but can't even do an 'Add Printer' for it after upgrading to Leopard.
Oddly, my printer's Node Name shows up in the Finder under 'Shared'. So it seems that my mac sees the printer. The entire network consists of the mac, wireless AP, and printer.
Any other ideas? Thanks!

Let me suggest going to this thread on the Airport printing discussion.
I found two issues:
1) HP's having problems with file permissions. Run *Disk Repair* first, then download and run the *newest HP printer drivers*.
2) Apple seems to have introduced something called CUPs. It's new to me and every computer I have that runs on Leopard or was recently upgraded to Leopard has very confusing printing problem, directly connected or wirelessly connected.
The thread above is helpful, but somewhere, I need to learn more about CUPS.
Try putting *http://localhost:631/* in your browser!
As soon as I figure it out, I'll let you know.
I also changed my USB cables to *USB2 cables*. Suddenly, it seems to matter!?
