Trying to access Mac networked printer from laptop with Windows XP

Hi
I'm stuck: I have printer sharing enabled on my G5, printer is connected to my router; from system pref/print & fax/ my URL for the printer is as follows:
mdns://myprinter+serial#.printer.tcp.local.
Windows wants this format
http://printservername/Printers/sharename/.printer
I've tried any number of permutations, and can't get the printer to show up in the printer wizard. I installed the software/drivers in the PC for the specific printer.
I'm just not a PC user, and can't figure this out!

Find the IP address of the mac in Network Prefs.
Find the Mac's queue name for that printer in Print & Fax > highlight printer > Get Info (Show Info).
On the PC, add new printer, and add the printer exactly as you were trying, filling in IP address for "printserver_name" and queue name for "share_name." Don't need the "/.printer" part. For driver, you'll need to choose a postscript printer model driver, even if that printer isn't a postscript one. The Mac will translate the postscript to the printer's language. Apple Color Laserwriter xx/xx worked well for me.

Loading CS2 from laptop with Windows XP to new laptop with Windows 7

Hello, I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 on it, and am wondering if I can install my CS2 software onto it. I had it on my old laptop which had Windows XP. I don't see
Windows 7 on my installation CDs as an OS I can use the software with. Not wanting to buy all new as I am a novice user, not a professional graphics person. Can I
load this version on my new laptop?

Network printing from my new windows pc using a HP 710 attached to a networked Vista pc

My setup worked perfectly when I had an xp pc and a vista vc.
The xp pc had a samsung 6060 laser printer connected by a parallel cable and the vista pc had a HP710C also connected by a parallel cable. I also have a laptop running ubuntu linux. The pcs are networked peer to peer and connected to the internet through a wired router. I was able to share files between all three machines, and print on any printer from any pc.
I now have a new pc running windows 7 (64)and one of the many problems I am having is getting the printing to work.
The two pcs can share files ok, I can find and install both printers on both pcs and they both print through the pcs they are attached to. What they won't do is print through the network. though I can select the printers in an application and press print nothing then happens (not even an error message) I am not a pc 'teckie' and don't really understand how it should work, but have tried a variety of things like 'permissions', 'firewalls' and all the automated fault finding fixes, and so on but have struggled trying to understand what kind of driver should go where, or even to identify if this is a network issue or a printer driver issue
I'm tearing my hair out! And I've given up on networking the linux machine, and parked all the issues I am having with user account control, permissions and file ownership.
Can anyone help on the printing front please? Thanks.

One, have the printer shared (it sounds like you've already done that) and under the share name...make sure that it is less than twelve characters and includes no spaces or special characters (underscores are okay). Then, you should have no trouble adding it to your Mac.
On the Mac, go to System Preferences, then go to Print & Fac, then the "+" button, then on the pop-up window, select "More Printers". The top drop-down menu should say "Windows Printing", on the second one, select your Network Neighborhood, then the workgroup your host computer belongs to, then select the name of the computer and the printer shoudl show up. Mac OS X has a multitude of drivers preinstalled for printers, so one it is detected, go to the "Printer Setup" and select your printer model.
Hopefully that helps

Wireless network printing from macbook to windows XP

We have a wireless router (netgear) setup with 3 XP computers. A canon i900d printer is directly connected to the main computer. All computers share the internet and printer perfectly. I have the macbook recognizing the network and sharing the internet. And after two days of reading these forums and making changes I finally got the macbook to recognize the computer on the network that has the printer. I still can't get the macbook to show my true printer model and had to choose one of the ?gimp-print? models.The macbook prints but......
Now the problem is the pages print to about 1/4 scale.
I checked the preferences and they are set to 100%.
I downloaded the driver directly from canons website.
What now???

Well, i have seem to isolated the issue..I can't find the EXACT gutenprint driver for the printer. It's not listed in the driver drop down list..With my printer at home that wirelessly prints fine to my xp computer, i have the exact driver listed and installed. What really drives me crazy, is that this printer is fully supported by leopard if its plugged into the USB port! It detects and prints perfectly..but there just isnt a supported driver to print from the mac over the wireless network to the xp PC.. From my searching, there may be a way to use another 3rd party driver using ghostscript, but all this mac stuff is new to me, so it's a bit beyond my mac skills for now...

Getting spool error when trying to use a network printer from a remote computer.

I have 2 HP deskjet printers attached to my computer. One is a D4260 and the 2nd is an F4280 all in one. I would like both of these printers to be available on our wireless network so that my girlfriend can use the printers from her laptop. The D4260 is working just fine but when I try to print to the all in one it looks as if it printed on her computer but I get a spooling error on mine and no printing.

Go to hp.com.au, top right corner select support & drivers
select software & driver download type in your printer name HP Deskjet F4280
then select your operating system-step 1
on step 2 select utility diagnostic tools,select HP Print Diagnostic Utility
run the software, select your printer, then diagnose...then select fix all
this software automatically detects spooler errors & fix them
just follow the instructions from the HP Print Diagnostic Utility
good luck.

Printing from IE9 with Windows 7. Error message: "There was an internal error and internet explorer is unable to print this document".

I can copy a page and paste it into word and it prints fien. I can print all word documents, Excel document, powerpoint documents, PDF documnets stored and opened from Adobe acrobat, but not PDFs while still online. I have reloaded the printer driver (HP
1020 laserjet) searched through any windows and IE updates all to no avail. I tried running IE as adminitrator and turning off "Enable protected mode". I tried to run Mr Fixit to recreate a missing folder and it said "does not apply to your problem" (or words
to that effect). I am running MS Office 2010 and Windows 7 and IE9. Help!

OK, I found the solution for this, at least for IE 64 bit. My IE 32 bit never had this problem. I am using Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
I read, from someone else, that opening IE 64 bit (right click on IE icon) and select "Run as Administrator" would allow you to print. Doing that way has to be done each time you open IE 64 bit...BUT...If you right click on the IE 64 bit
icon (not the one in the Taskbar) and slide down to 'properties' and then left click, you will see an "Advanced" tab box (about 2/3rds the way down) that allows you to open another properties page. Click it open and select "Run as administrator".
This will allow you to print by just opening IE 64 bit the normal way and going to whatever webpage you want to print. I have done several tests and all seems back to normal.

Can't open cp file from laptop with Windows Vista

I created some files at work using XP and copied them to a jump drive. (Captivate 4)
I've installed C4 at home using Vista on my laptop. I tried opening the cp files and none will open. C4 opens, but stays on the normal open page. I've copied them to the laptop drive and it still won't open them. I've tried opening by double-clicking the file, and by opening C4 and attempting to open them from within. Nothing. Any suggestions?

Thanks, the Vista is 64 bit, the XP is not. Actually, I'm using the laptop to record new audio, so I don't have to get the audio from the XP machine. However, another problem has arisen and that it when I try to record in C4 on the laptop it doesn't work. It asks if I want to test and then nothing happens, the test window doesn't open, and then when I hit the record button again, nothing happens. I've downloaded Audacity and it records fine, so I'm going to save those files and import them. This has been one nightmare after another. Thanks for your suggestions.

Deskjet 3050A all-in-one J611 series will not allow printing from desktop with windows 8

Hello, I am trying to set up my fiances desktop to my HP DESKJET 3050A ALL-IN-ONE J611 series. It says it only supports other windows, windows 8 not being one of them. Both are wireless and I figured there has to be a way to download some software that I could install in order to hookup this computer. Please any help I could get would be appreciated.

The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...

Hp v40 on xp desktop and is shared via wireless network. laptop with windows 7 wont print on v40.

Can't print from laptop (windows 7) via wireless router .to desktop (windows xp) with usb attached HP v40 all in one.
Laptop (7) ----- wireless router ----- desktop (xp) - -usb-- HPv40
Worked when laptop was running xp.
Laptop spools print job to desktop and seemingly completes, but the desktop simply ignores the print job.
No error messages.
printing from the desktop work just fine.
This question was solved.

I am reporting this as solved. I submitted this problem. The problem started when updated my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I did, The Lexmark printer on my desktop worked find with the new laptop system. The HP V40 did not work. The Desktop simply received each print job submitted from the Laptop (via a wireless local network) and discarded it. I could see the print job come into the V40 print queue and could see it disappear.
Here is what I did to solve the problem:
I tried a dozen or so combinations of removing and installing the printer on both my Windows 7 laptop and my Windowx XP desktop (with the V40 attached via USB), and manually removing and installing print drivers on my desktop PC, it finally works. What did I do? I have no idea, but I believe that manually removing the v40 drivers on the desktop was part of the solution. While viewing the available printers on my XP desktop, I clicked on File and one of the tabs led me to a place where I could remove drivers for each printer ( I just removed the ones for the V40).
Here is what I DID NOT DO:
I did not follow the advice of the HP support person that I contacted via the telephone. That advice was to reinstall Windows XP on my desktop. That clearly was not the problem when I spoke to him. But he would NOT listen to reason. Thankfully, I have enough PC knowledge to know that his advice bas bogus
I am pleased with the resulting availablilty of the V40 again.
I have no idea how to officially close this problem.
I would be happy to discuss this with anyone else who has a similar problem, but when I submitted this problem with my name and email address, the moderator removed my problem submission. Hence, I think anyone who wants to know more is out of luck.

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.
