Trouble printing from a MacBook to a network printer wirelessly

I have a Samsung printer connected to a Windows 7 machine and am attempting to print from a MacBook. I try the usual AdvancedWindows+SMB-addressShare-name technique. When I go to print, the MB asks for My Username and password for the W7 box. Upon entering the information, I receive an NTSTATUS_CONNECTIONREFUSED message and no printing takes place.
Curiously, a Mac mini (10.5.8 also) which is connected to the network by wire (the MB is connected wirelessly) prints just fine to the same printer using the same configuration.
Does Anyone have any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue? Can Anyone point Me in the direction of documentation which could help?
Thanks in advance.

I figured out the answer using this excellent Web page: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3000.html.
The problem was that when I used the "Wizard" on the PC to install the shared printer, it picked the Deskjet driver by default. But the iMac needs to get the printer data in Postscript, which its own driver then translates into Deskjet speak. So after creating the printer on the Thinkpad I had to go into its Properties and change to the Apple Color Laserwriter driver.

  • Printing From My Macbook to My WinXp Printer

    I just bought a brand new Black Macbook for myself (which I love!) but I have seem to run into a little issue with Network Printing.
    I have a Hp PSC1350 All-In-One on my Hp Pavilion desktop downstairs and I would like to be able to print from my Macbook to that printer.
    Can someone please provide me with instructions with network printing on a mac and how to set it up? Thanks!

    First - driver. The driver provided by HP was written to support direct USB printing ONLY. If your model is compatible with the PSC 1300 or 1310, you can use the hpijs + ghostscript driver set:

  • How to print from a macbook to a shared printer hook up to pc

    Hi,
    How I could be able to print wireless from my macbook to a shared printer hook up to a pc. The printer is a DELL 1320C and the pc is a DELL Inspiron. Please help me out with this issue. I do all my stuffs in my mac and when I to print my job, I get a nightmare.

    As long as you have a wireless router connected to your Dell and the printer is set as a shared printer...Just go and print a document and it will ask you what printer you want to use. Use finder to locate the printer from your Dell as it should show up under "shared". I think thats all i had to do when i had a Sony Vio and wanted to print from my MacBook. (You may need to log in as a guest to gain access to the printer.) Its been a while having since upgraded to a new iMac.

  • Can't print from a windows pc to network printer

    I am having a network printer problem.
    I have a Canon printer plugged into the usb port of my Mac-Mini.  I can print fine from the Mac to the printer.  I have network sharing enabled for the printer.
    I have a Dell PC connected to an Airport Express via internet cable as part of my network.
    I have bonjour installed on the Dell
    Bonjour can see the networked canon printer and will install it as the default printer for the Dell PC.
    However, I can not print from the Dell unless I have the wrong printer driver (an HP driver) installed.  As long as the wrong driver is installed I can print the first page of a document only.
    If I install the correct Canon driver, the printer ceases to function.
    I tried connecting the printer to the airport express via usb.  Once I did this, I was able to print from the Dell pc with no problem using the correct driver.  But then, I could no longer print from the Mac-mini via the Airport Express connected printer.  The Mac could see the printer and identify that it was connected via Airport.  And the Mac will allow me to connect to the Airport connected printer .  But as soon as I trie to print something from the Mac, it fails and gives an error message or pauses and says the drivers may not be correct.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Detective445 wrote:
    I believe that there may not be a solution to this because the printer will only recognize one set of drivers.  Since one set of drivers is for the Mac and one set is for a PC It will only work with one machine or the other.
    Then you should be able to print from the Mini after resetting the printer, e.g. by turning it off and back on after a short while. But it sounds as if this won't help either, and to be frank, it's not an "acceptable" explanation, either...
    So, what's the error message? Unless known, we can only keep guessing:
    You've reset the printer system in the Mini? Eventually consider deleting the Canon drivers manually afterwards, and only then add the printer again and re-install its software.
    If that doesn't help either, the issue must be a communication problem, meaning I'd recommend to double-/triple-check all comm-related things as well.

    you can print via wi-fi using airprint if you have an airprint enabled printer.
    Otherwise you would have to find an app from the app store that provides this feature.

  • How can I print from my ipad to a network printer (not air enabled

    I understand there are numerous HP printers that are "air-enabled" but the one I have is not. It is an HP Laserjet Pro 200 m251nw. Is there a way that I print from my ipad to this wireless printer?

    You may have to use 3rd party apps like PrinterNShare.

  • I am trying to print from my macbook pro to my printer ricoh mp 2851?

    So i can connect my printer and everything is successful, but when i try to print out something it keeps saying the job is paused. Why is that? I NEED HELP!!!!

    The information below will help you troubleshoot your printing issue.  If the printer is not showing up in the Printer and Scanner preferences, you may need to add it again.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18613
    Replace a corrupted printer queue window
    Open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Printer & Scanner preferences), then delete and set up your printer again. 
    If you still can’t print, reset the printing system.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Printing from a MacBook Pro ???

    Hi. Is there a way to print from a MacBook pro to a non-wireless compatible printer without having a direct usb connection??? Hope that makes sense. I heard something about using a Time Capsule or air port of some sort but have no idea what that means. New to Mac. Any help v. much appreciated

    The information you posted is slightly incorrect, the Airport Express does not provide a USB port for a printer, the Extreme and the TC do.
    Oh
    There is a new version of the Express which does appear to have a USB port, apologies.

  • Printing from a macbook pro to an HP psc 2355 printer

    I need helping printing from a macbook pro to an hp psc 2355 printer. The printer is connected to a pc which runs Windows Vista. The pc is connected to a wireless router (so the PC has to be on to print). Hope this is simple!

    You could start by resetting your printing system and then see if the computer sees the printer. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
    Is your wireless network protected by a password? Does it have a name?
    I have a wireless HP AIO that I connect thru my wireless router. In other words the wireless router is the hub for the printer so the three notebooks and iTouch can print to it from anywhere in the area.

    I have tried plugging in an eternet (blue) cable from the printer to the wireless router, but i dont know how to make my macbook find the wireless printer!
    If your printer is like my Canon printer, you'll have to do as Bob suggests - use the Setup on the LCD panel of your printer to set up wifi. Pretty easy with my Canon PIXMA MG8220...

    I am really getting very frustrated as trying to print from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120.
