Trying to Print from a Mac to a Canon iP4200 connected to a Dell

I just picked up a MacBook Pro this summer and have been trying to get it to print on a Canon iP4200 printer. It is connected to a Dell desktop with XP. The communication is through a wireless network. The Mac thinks it is sending the print through the network and thinks it is working. However, the Dell and printer never receive it.

It still may not work down to the Canon drivers, ensure that you have the latest Canon drivers.
It should work with the PrintFab Drivers (but these cost).

How do i print from my mac book using printer connected to my Imac

I am trying to print from my Mac book by using the printer connected to my Imac however i keep getting a notice which says
Authentication required.what am i missing? I set them up to share printing but something is wrong

Before trying to figure out if I can help or not, a bit more specific information is needed:
1. You list an iMac G5 in your profile - is that the iMac you are using? In that case, you'd get more knowledgeable answers in the G5 forums (this is an Intel iMac forum). If you have an Intel, please give more details (model, etc).
2. What model/make printer? Does it have wireless capabilities?
3. What model/make router? Or are you simply trying to use the built in Airport from your iMac? In that case, do you have printer sharing enabled on both machines? If so, did you create a network? For detailed info on that, use the Help Menu in Finder and type in Network - one of the subjects available will be "creating a computer-to-computer network". It contains instructions on how to create it including a password (authentication).
You might also try to use the search function on this forum and type in "printer sharing". There are many threads, some of which might be useful to you.

Printing from my mac - problems

I have upgraded my NM to 5.5 on my XP desktop, Windows7 laptop and Mac BookPro Snow Leopard - I can share files no problem and can print from both windows machines, but I cannot print from my mac. The Canon MP480 is directly connected to the desktop with XP. I have installed the drivers from my Snow Leopard installation CD and also went thru system preferences and added it in the IP section with the IP address of my desktop - 192.168.1.107 -- any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, did you try using the NM Mac Add on? It does work on Snow Leopard now.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

7515 keeps trying to print from photo tray when main tray selected (Mac)?

Just started uing a iMac with the 7515. It's driving me nuts that it keeps trying to print from the photo tray when I have main tray clearly selected in the print dialog box.
I'm trying to insert the picture of the print dialog box, but doesn't seem to be working. In presets (the second selection box from the top) I've got "Print from Main Tray" selected pretty plainly.
Turning the printer on and off does not help.
Any help appreciated.

Hey Chriscic,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Always the best recommend steps to start off with when troubleshooting with a Mac, is to reset the printing system. Then verify, and repair the disk permissions.
So to start with the reset of the printing system, I have included the document 'Macintosh: Resetting the Printing System in Mac OS X'. Please select your version of Mac, and follow through the steps. If you have Mavericks, you can follow the steps for OS X v10.8. Also, please do not re-add the printer just yet.
After the reset of the printing system, you will need to complete the verify, and repair of the disk permissions. I have included the document 'Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions'. For step three when it asks you to select a disk, please select your hard drive. Once the repair has completed, please restart the Mac.
After the Mac has restarted, you can now add the printer back into the print queue. The try to print. Are you still experiencing the same issue? Or are you able to print from the main tray?
If you do require further assistance, please let me know the version of Mac OS X you are running. If you need it, I have included the document 'Finding your OS X version and build information'.
Looking forward to your reply.

How to print from a Mac to a PC by WiFi

I have a printer (Canon MF6530) connected to a PC Windows XP ServicePack3, i want to know, how can i print from my mac (MacBook Black Intel Core 2 Duo(/Lion)) to the PC by using WiFi, i´ve been trying several times, made my research and cant make it. I don´t know how can i use the PC´s IP, in order to connect the computers. Beside i don´t understand the difference between the Options IP and Windows when i try to install the printer in my mac.

It should show up in the available printers list when you select the "+" button in the Print & Fax section of System Preferences then. If it doesn't you can try selecting the IP pane and entering the IP address of the PC and use either LPD or IPP.
Sorry, if it's still not working I would have to say "I don't know."
Best of luck.

Can i print from my mac to a win 7 printer?

I have done a search and was unable to find the answer to my question. I have tried to figure out how to print from my MBP to my wifes printer that is attached to her windows 7 computer. I am able to print to that printer over the network with a windows computer but not my mac.
Does anyone know how to get this done or if it is even possible?

Printing from your Mac to a printer attached to a WIndows 7 printer can indeed be done.
It use to be quite easy under Windows XP or even Vista, But Microsoft changed the SMB code in Windows 7, making it more of a headache.
Here is how to share your Windows 7 printer:

Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600

Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600. Upgraded from OS 10.4 and printer showed on printer list along with an Epson scanner. but continually shows printer as offline. I finally deleted the HP Color Laserjet 2600n from the printer list. When I attempted to re-install it, it doesn't find the printer at all. I haven't attempted to use the scanner. I also went to HP and downloaded the driver, no luck. I've restarted the computer multiple times, tried it with the printer on, and printer off, as well as pulled the usb cable in and out both ends. No error message on the printer display and it gpes through normal warmup until it shows the green light. I run software update and it shows no updates needed. Help!

Go down a few more posts to the question about the C7180. Answer:

Posted: Aug 19, 2007 1:26 PM in response to: Daniel_D
When you press print the first window is pretty basic.
When you select print on that the next window should have an advanced option.
Click that and see if any of the options in the 3rd dropdown box allow you to specify the 'paper tray'.
AC "
In this new windaow, click "advanced", go to "paper type/quality" and choose " best" and a photo paper. Then you will be able to choose a paper source (photo tray).
Once you have these settings, under presets do "save as", and you can choose the preset instead of going to advanced.
If you have the latest software and drivers downloaded from HP, this will work.

I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

Hi to the Mac Folks,
I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5. The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

Printing FROM a Mac TO a WinXP machine/printer

Hi,......my brother and I have run into a problem we can't get around. He just got an old G4, but his main computer is a WinXP machine. (I'm trying to convert him) He has an Epson R220 printer hooked up to the XP machine, and wanted to print from the Mac to the R220 via his wireless network. We have tried all the things they suggest and are still getting the NTSTATUS_ACCESSDENIED error message. I know it possibly has something to do with SAMBA, but we can't figure it out. There are tons of articles on the net about that error message, but none of the possible solutions we have tried, have worked. I was wondering if anyone has done this and got it to work.....and/or what is the best way to make it possible to do this.
I told him he could use Bonjour on Windows and hook the printer up to the Mac, but he has no room upstairs to put a printer on the Mac.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Scott,
Xchaserr's link is a non-Samba (Windows Printing) method.
There are literally 1000's of responses regarding NT_STATUS here in the forum. Be sure to look in Keychain and delete any entries related to connecting to the PC. And yes, I do have this working. I don't have a firewall running on the PC (I figure the router's firewall is good enough). Back when WinXP SP2 was installed was the only time I got NT_STATUS errors.

Error message when trying to print from the Preview

When I'm trying to print from the preview menu I have an error message and it won't print. Anything to do with recent upgrade to OS Lion?

Libra1962 wrote:
I have an error message
(1) The error message is a crash report. If you wish to post something like this here, it's better to copy the text of the report and paste in your post, rather than posting a screenshot.
(2) According to the report, the crash was caused by a memory error apparently generated by a component of a Xerox printer driver. The component is a PDE (printer dialog extension) made by EFI; PDEs are used by printers with features not supported by the Mac's standard print interface.
If you recently updated to Lion, it is possible that you are using a printer driver which is not fully compatible with Lion. Check with both Xerox and Apple if they have an updated printer driver; contact Xerox tech support; and check if there is a support forum for Xerox printers where you may ask this question.
Bonne chance!

Colour (Color) Mis match printing from iPhoto/Mac

I have just purchased an Epson R340 and, while it prints perfectly well from the memory card, printing from my Mac results in poor quality prints. The photos are reddy tinged and (from photoshop) out of focus or blurred. This is also the case when I print from Quicktime. I have tried unchecking ColorSync in iPhoto as well as playing around with a few other set ups but nothing gives me the same quality as printing from the memory card. I am running iPhoto 6 and Photoshop CS. Has anyone encountered or managed to fix this problem?

Also note that you don't want color management turned on with both Photoshop AND the printer driver, as the colors will be managed "twice". This will cause that red shift you are seeing.
This is from Photoshop's help:
"If Photoshop is handling the color adjustment or color management options during printing, turn off all printer driver color adjustment options. If not, specify the color management settings to let your printer driver handle the color management during printing. It's important not to color manage in both Photoshop and the printer driver simultaneously during printing. This results in unpredictable color."

I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer. When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled? Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Hello @COOP1950 and welcome to the HP Forums!
I'd be happy to lend a hand, I just need to ask a few questions to get a bit more information
1. Which version of Mac OS X is on your computer?
2. How is the printer connected to the Mac?
3. Do you have the HP software installed (if it's available for your printer/operating system)?
4. What program are you trying to print from? Do you get the same result from all programs?
With that information I'll be able to have a deeper look into things for you!
