  • Trouble Connecting Wirelessly to PC Printer

    As the subject says, I can't connect to my PC printer. The situation is this:
    When the server computer is turned off, the printer is down for the entire network. However, despite the main computer (server) being turned off, I can still access the internet wirelessly.
    The problem I'm having is being able to connect to the printer. I have already enabled printer sharing on the PC printer (running Windows XP SP2), but I can't find it anywhere on my MBP. In fact, when I try to add a printer under PRINTER & FAX, the Windows workgroup doesn't appear at all. Does anybody have any suggestions? I figured by this day and age, connecting to a printer on a network wirelessly would be just a few simple clicks of the mouse button...

    Let me make sure I understand.
    Normally, you print through the server and everything is fine.
    You want to be able to print directly to the printer, which is attached to a Windows XP system (How? USB?), so if the server is down, you can continue to print.
    In this scenario, is the server normally forwarding the print job to the Windows XP system?
    Is this correct?

  • Trouble connecting to a Windows printer

    I am new to Apple and need to connect to a Windows printer (shared) so I can print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro. I've followed all the instructions I can find but still get error messages. The printer is a Canon iP8500 hardwired to a PC running XP. The computer is hardwired to a wireless router in my home. I am able to see the PC on my Mac so I know the wireless connection is there, I just can't seem to find or add the printer. I turned on sharing for the printer and have set up a workgroup and have tried using both the IP address of the PC and the name of the PC and the printer to no avail.
    Thanks.

    Hello KatDeB,
    The issue you are having could be a result of the printer driver you are using. The Canon supplied driver does not function when the printer is being shared by Windows or a 3rd party print server, such as the suggested Linksys. For these types of network connections, you need to use a CUPS-based driver such as those provided by Gutenprint or PrintFab. Since Gutenprint is free, it is the preferred choice and checking the supported printer list of v5.2.3, which is included with Snow Leopard, your iP8500 is supported.
    So, open Print & Fax and select the existing print queue to the Windows share. Then click Options & Supplies and select the Driver tab. For the Print Using menu, change it to 'Select printer software'. In the search window that appears, type ip85 - this will short list your selection down to two possible choices - the 'Canon iP8500' and 'Canon PIXMA iP8500 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. You most likely have the first one selected so you need to select the Gutenprint one and click Add. Now try printing again. This should get you further than the Canon driver would.

  • Trouble connecting wirelessly to HP printer

    I am trying to connect my MacBook up to a new HP Officejet 6500A printer and it is not printing.  HP says that Mac has a difeernt way of connecting and that they can not help me.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Someone is telling you pure nonsense!
    (I own another HP, but I don't own this specific HP.)
    HP lists the printer as being compatible with OS X 10.5 and 10.6 right on their own web page:
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/18972-18972-238444-12019-3328086-4 083974.html
    Without more specifics, it's impossible to diagnose the problem you're having.
    Have you tried the HP wireless printer setup support site?
    http://h20563.www2.hp.com/p/_wireless/index.html?jumpid=ex_r602_go/wpc-support-h p
    I noted that MUCH of the user feedback for this specfic printer on the HP website is EXTREMELY negative, with many people rating the printer 1 or 2 stars. 
    If possible, you might want to return it and find something else!

  • Connecting backup HD and printer to Airport Extreme?

    Can I connect both a printer and an external harddrive to the USB port on the back of Airport Extreme? I would like to use the Airport Extreme both as a bridge to a network backup and so that I can network a printer. Can I use the one USB drive? Is there another simple solution? Thanks.

    Can I connect both a printer and an external harddrive to the USB port on the back of Airport Extreme?
    Yes. Use an USB hub which has its own power supply.

  • Trouble connecting to a wireless printer

    I have a Time Capsule and I just turned on the Guest Account. In order for me to do this I changed the DHCP setting under the Internet tab to change the DHCP Beginning Address to 10.x.x.x. For those using either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless network they have no problems using the HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer since it connects to the either of two available wireless networks.
    Further away I have two Mac laptops who cannot access the two wireless networks due to signal strength. I hooked up a AE using an existing ethernet connection. I created a new wireless network and the addresses are in the same range - 10.x.x.x when connected wirelessly but I cannot "see" the HP wireless printer.
    Is it possible for the two users connecting to the AE to every "see" the HP wireless printer?
    Thank you for looking.

    If your printer is already connected to your printer (wifi light = green), click on the link to Manually Add a USB Print Queue, Network Print Queue and Fax Queue on Mac OS X Systems
    If the wifi light is orange, just follow the steps when you launch the wireless setup assistant.

  • My iphone 5c is having trouble connecting to internet and staying connected, the time and date are messed up and a black screen pops up randomly. what can i do?

    i need help fixing these problems with my iphone 5c. When i connect to wifi it connects then minutes later disconnects and makes me put in my password again. i have to change the time every hour or so because it stops at a certin time. when im trying to use my iphone sometimes the screen turns black and it doesnt turn back on for a few seconds. please help
    thanks, Kim Wibbels

    The people having problems not connecting without AC power was from the last OSX update to 10.5.8, this problem has since been resolved with an Airport Client update.
    Your profile shows that you are running 10.5.6... I would suggest updating you software to the latest 10.5.8 as this fixed some Airport issues.
    You may want to unplug the router, let it set a minute the plug it back in.
    Is your Powerbook still having these issues? How long has the powerbook been experiencing this problem?

  • I am having problems connecting my imac to a Kodak printer wirelessly. This was previously working fine. The printer states it is connected to the home network but the connection between computer and printer has been lost/ cannot find printer.

    In addition, I contacted kodak support and they wished to take control of my computer in order to rectify the problem. I did not allow this as I was worried about security . Can anyone tell me whether once you allow someone to take control of your computer, then it is a security risk. What protection does my imac provide ? Thanks. 

    I think you can do it on a one time basis, & not allow after that.

  • Trouble connecting Macbook Air and iTunes with Apple TV

    When I tried to connect my iTunes to my Apple TV,this message showed 'An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000)'. I just changed my iTunes ID. I am using Macbook Air 13" mid 2011 OS X Lion.
    Anyone has the same problem?

    goto settings on your appletv and reapply your new  Apple ID information to correct the issue.      Same on your Air also if you havent already done so

  • Exchange 2007 account - trouble connecting at times and a question

    Hi all, so, I have my Ex change 2007 account setup on my MacBook Pro but I seem to keep having an issue. WHen the account was initially setup, I was connected to my company via the Cisco VPNClient and the connection worked great - mail, iCal & AddressBook all connected and accessed data fine.
    Now, I find that if I drop my VPN and then reconnect, Mail will not connect to the server and I get the Yield or tilde icon next to the account. In console, I'm getting these messages:
    9/1/09 9:21:49 AM Mail[1349] -[SOAPParser:0x1163a34e0 parser:didStartElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName:attributes:] Type not found in SOAPDocument for HTML (HTML)
    Now, it seems that if I disconnect the VPN, quit Mail and leave it for a while (sorry, nothing scientific here yet) it will reconnect to the server after I have the VPN back up.
    One point to make, I can't seem to get the Apple IPSec support to connect to my company's Cisco concentrator, hence the reason I keep using the Cisco sw.
    So, that's my one problem - now for the additional questions: Is the Exchange support in SL Exchange Activesync or a different implementation? The reason I ask is that if it's exchange Activesync, there should be no reason I cannot connect to my Exchange front-end server without a vpn connection and sync mail, calendar & addressbook - right?
    That doesn't seem to work, however which leads me to think it's not EAS.
    Another question - is there any documentation on how to configure the advanced mail account options - External Server Path, for instance?
    Thanks in advance...
    Dave

    I had the exact same issue. Found nothing in the console logs other than "can't refresh account". Turns out my problem was wrong e-mail address with the exchange server. I used the exact e-mail address that this particular exchange expected and it added it to the panel on the left.
    Our setup is a bit weird cause we have 2 exchange servers, but I let iCal figure out everything itself using the "old" exchange server and then afterwards went and edited the server settings to use the "new" server, and it kept working with these settings.
    Just a bit annoying that iCal was so vague about what the problem was... Also didn't help that I upgraded and moved to the "new" server and changed my password all at once, so don't know what cause the problem in the first place.

  • Recent firedfox update immedately cause break in connection between computer and printer

    about 2 weeks ago Firefox offered an update. I clicked to start this. right after the printer failed to respond to the computer and a message said: check cables (done) restart computer(done) check firewall - I don't know how to do this. I have a McAfee contract.
    Could this update have caused the problem? was this update offer legitimate or a virus?

    here is the same problem
    i cant switch between vc7,8,9...only between 1 and 7.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Troubles writing to file and printing characters above 127

    Hi,
    Whenever I write to a file or to the standard output (System.out), all characters above 127 are replaced by a question mark.
    I only started having this problem after upgrading to jdk 1.3.1, with previous version all was fine. I'm using slackware linux 7.0.
    output of java -version
    java version "1.3.1"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)
    After reading a lot about internationalization I still can't solve my problem.
    The output of the following code:
    System.out.println(java.util.Locale.getDefault().getDisplayName());
    System.out.println( System.getProperty("file.enconding"));
    is:
    English (United States)
    null
    Shouldn't the file.encoding property be set?
    I've tried setting it:
    System.out.println( System.setProperty("file.enconding","UTF8"));
    but the aplication simply hangs at that line.
    Please help!

    Hi,
    I am having similiar problem as posted by you in the message - ours is a web application hosted on Apache - JServ, JDK 1.2.1, Servlets, MySQL, and SunOS 5.6. We have recently upgraded to JDK 1.3.1 and SunOS 5.8.
    The application works fine except for the internationalization code.
    The web application support 8 languages. The application works fine for english but for asian languages (korean,japanese,traditional chinese,simplified chinese), all characters are replaced by question marks. Similarly some characters in latin based languages (german,french,italian)are replaced by question marks.
    I am wondering if you can share the solution - i think it should be applicable to us also.
    The mechanism used by us is to set the content type in the HTTPServletResponse object and use output stream writer to send localized information to browser:
    res.setContentType("text/html;charset=EUC_JP");
    OutputStreamWriter out = new BufferedWriter( new OutputStreamWriter(this.oHttpResponse.getOutputStream() ), 512 );

  • Unable to connect to canon MG5350 printer wirelessly and also noticed running very hot to touch and a little slow at times.  Can anyone advise?

    I have been having trouble connecting to my wireless printer and removed printer from system preferences thinking I could reinstall easily enough, however my computer does not recognise/identify my printer when I try to add a new printer.
    I then noticed that my Mac was running really hot to touch and is sometimes slow, is this a serious problem, i no long have technical support or service cover.  Any recommendation as to what type of places I should go to get it serviced?  Apple only?
