Tried both ways in the Wiki, still can't get network printing work

Hi,
I have tried both the client and server ways following the Wiki, still could not get network printing work.
For the first way, I tried to put either the host name or the ip address (starting with 192) of the remote printer into /etc/cups/client.conf. But both Okular and Evince failed to see the printer in the dialog.
For the second way, with cups-browsed running, it only managed to discover printers in my local network (ip starting with 137) which I have no access. I tried to manually add the printer using its ip, but it still did not work.
What can I do? I have spent hours trying to work it out but failed. I would appreciate a lot your help. Thanks.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"? Ones with a green checkmark are solved.

  • Still can't get airplay to work!!!!!

    Grrrrrrrrr. Still can't get airplay to work with either my iPad or my iPhone to my atv2. Everything has the latest firmware, including my airport extreme. Airplay is turned on in options on the atv2.
    Everything is on the same network. I even switched networks but still nothing.
    I do not see the blue icon that let's me stream to the tv.
    What the heck am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    Your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that's the case, you need to update your system software to v10.5.8 which is the minimum requirement for the iPad.
    Click the Apple () menu then click: Software Update...
    And make sure Bluetooth is not enabled on either the iPad or the iPhone. Tapping Settings / General / Bluetooth.

  • I have changed my password and still can't get homesharing to work. Get the message "Homesharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect. It's what I have used to sign in here!

    I  have changed my password and still can't get home sharing to work. Get the message "Home sharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect." It's what I have used to sign in here! Any help much appreciated.

    So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
    So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
    Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
    My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID.

  • Read the manual; still can't get it right

    i've followed instructions on setting path and classpath, but still can't get the HelloWorldApp to work right. it makes the .class file fine but the java HelloWorldApp command gives this to stdout
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorldApp
    maybe i have the classpath set wrong..currently it's set to C:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin\;"." is it supposed to be somewhere else? well when i use codewarrior it all works fine but i only have a trial version of it and would like to do the command line thing 1) because it's free and 2) because i like typing the commands ...also i have the exact same problem to overcome on my linux box..same error message as above.
    any help is greatly appreciated..

    Hello Fueley,
    I can see that you are running JDK 1.3.1_01 on a Windows OS of some kind. On different Windows OS you have a a different place to set CLASSPATH environment variable. For instance, in Windows/95 you can set CLASSPATH environment variable in the autoexec.bat file. While in Windows/NT you set CLASSPATH environment variable in the Environment tab of the System Properties of the Control Panel.
    First clear your classpath by typing in a DOS window:
    C:> set CLASSPATH=
    Then point your classpath to the current directory. The current directory is indicated by a period. The quotation marks are not needed.
    To set your classpath, type in a DOS window:
    C:> set CLASSPATH=.
    If you want to, you can add other paths your classpath, for example, the dt.jar and tools.jar
    C:> set CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\dt.jar;C:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\tools.jar
    See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/install-windows.html#Classpath for more information.

  • Tried both 25 and 587 and still can't send or receive

    I have tried changing to both 25, 465 and 587, and still can not use my mail app.
    These were the 3 primary port suggestions I could find on this site and forum. Sorry if I missed any other easy ones.
    Any suggestions? I have called support and gone to the store ("bar") and still no suggestion that works.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    DJ

    Greetings,
    Typically, of most of the users that are having issues with their Mail, can receive mail fine but sending is usually the issue. You will need to know the correct port that you need - usually 25 or 587. If you can surf the Web, you can do email.
    You will need to check with your home ISP for the correct parameters, if you are at home. If you are at work, or elsewhere you will need to know those parameters in most cases if you want to send because more and more ISPs are blocking all SMTP servers other than their own. I know I do.
    If you have Web access to your email, you can use that, and some IMAP mail providers will work about anywhere, but you still need to know the particulars. We block Dot Mac's IMAP to where I can receive email. but I have to plug in the local SMTP server to send anything, because of the local blocking. I don't have any problem with that as it's another layer of security.
    There is nothing wrong with Mail 3.2 or Leopard, they are not flaky. The problems are setup and configuration issues - once you know the correct parameters and setup routines, it all works fine.
    I have never had an issue of note with Mail or Leopard - I use my Dot Mac mail and Exchange mail, in our Active Directory Domain, at work. I also have a Road Runner POP account that I use as well.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have a Macbook (original 1.1) and it's in good condition. However, the mouse -selector- doesn't work. I can't click on anything. I've tried to reload the DVD and I still can't get it to work. Suggestions??

    I have done the following:
    1. Turned it on. Workes fine, screen comes up, programs appear to load normally.
    2. Can drag the pointer on the glass touch pad, but cannot click at all. So cannot select ANYTHING. Not ANYTHING.  The only thing I can do is turn the power button off and on. 
    Things I have tried:   Plugging an external mouse in.  Display response: does not recognize the keyboard, however the pointer does move with it.  However, still, cannot select or accomplish anything with Enter.
    Please help! There definitily is a click when I touch the mouse button below the glass, but maybe it's the battery? I don't know. Please advise.  I have the set up discs but without being able to click select, I can't reinstall.

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

  • I can't get CS6 to recognize R3D files. I put the plugin and the server files in the proper spot and I used 64 not 32 like it said. I still can't get it to work

    The only thing to do to get the R3D files working is download a plugin pack with 2 files in it. one goes in your plugin folder the other in some other folder. I found both original files and replaced them with the new ones. I have rebooted twice... nothing. it won't recognize R3D files. The Camera is a Red brand Epic Dragon and it puts our R3D files. R3D's are easily manipulated in Redcine, but I can't add my .mov files on it so I need to be able to work with these files in PP.

    I'm sad now
    Good thing I have a PC with 32-bit windows!
    Now, I can only assume apple is working on a 64-bit
    fix? I suppose that info/ETA is on the itunes page,
    I'll go take a look.
    Who knows what Apple plans are? I do know that they do not discuss upcoming releases of anything until its available.

  • No matter the settings, I can't get password to work in setting up tbird using gmail!

    Trying to setup tbird. password is correct but cannot get the imap server to accept. no firewall anywhere. help!

    I tried going to this site: http://tones.wolfram.com/ and using the generate tone application, but whenever I click on the play button in Safari nothing happens. When I try and click on the play button in chrome a yellow alert bar opens up at the top of the screen telling me to install quicktime player. I have installed both quicktime X and quicktime 7 with no results. I am able to download the generated midi files on a PC, transfer them to this mac, and play them with quicktime 7 but I can't seem to get anything to play while I am in the web application itself.
    The files you refer to are really MIDI files. As discussed over the weekend, "real" MIDI files do not appear to be supported by the browser QT plug-in software or QT X player app any longer. Therefore, the files do not play in a browser which accesses a web page programmed/defaulted to call the QT browser plug-in for playback. On the other hand, MIDI playback is still supported by the QT 7 player app if installed on your system. Thus, MIDI files downloaded to your local hard drive can be played locally on your system. In fact, if you try to play the MIDI file using QT X and QT 7 is available, then the QT X player should automatically ask you if you want the file to be played by the QT 7 player.
    The same also currently holds true for WMA Pro encoded MIDI files as far as browser playback is concerned. However, WMA Pro encoded MIDI content can be played using either the QT X or QT 7 player apps, but only if one of the Flip4Mac codec packages is installed on your system AND only if you change the ".mid" file extension to ".wma" so that the player can associate the file container with the correct playback codec component.

  • I STILL can't get Bridge to work, Help

    I have had Photoshop CS2 installed and activated for months. However, I have never gotten Bridge to work.
    I get the apparently common, "Adobe Bridge cannot be used at this time because of licensing restrictions. You must have installed and launched at least one other Adobe application to use Adobe Bridge." I have consulted TechNote 331871, and have tried its suggestions. Solution 1, Photoshop CS2 IS activated. Solution 2, everything IS in its default location. Solution 3, removing and reinstalling Bridge doesn't help. Solution 5, I have removed and reinstalled Photoshop CS2 twice. (I have not removed the activation)
    Which leaves Solution 4. Whenever I try to rerun the Common File Installer, I get "Setup has detected that a newer version of this product is already installed. Setup will now terminate.", and it does.
    I have had uninstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 4, thinking that might be the problem. I also have Elements 3.0 and 6.0 installed. I have tried uninstalling 6.0 to no avail.
    Anyone have any idea what may be going on, and what I might do next?

    Have you seen the topic about 2/3 down this page "Premiere Elements has broken Bridge"? May provide some clues.

  • [SOLVED] Can't get network to work (realtek NIC)

    Hi there!
    I found Arch a couple of weeks ago and I got pretty excited with the possibility of taking my old Athlon 750MHz out of inactivity.
    Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the network to work.

    The kernel module for
    Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
    is 8139too I think
    So /etc/rc.conf should be like this
    # HARDWARE
    # Scan hardware and load required modules at bootup
    MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
    # Module Blacklist - modules in this list will never be loaded by udev
    MOD_BLACKLIST=()
    # Modules to load at boot-up (in this order)
    # - prefix a module with a ! to blacklist it
    MODULES=( 8139too forcedeth sk98lin slhc ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss snd-seq-device snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-hwdep snd-$
    # Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
    USELVM="no"
    The first one is 8139too, so it will be eth0
    In my example the second one is forcedeth for nvidia ethernet controler, so its going to be eth1
    Don't forget to edit /etc/resolv.conf
