Unable to print to network printer // sometimes with port error

I upgraded to Leopard and am now _*unable to print to my network attached*_ *_Lexmark x9350_*. In prefs it shows the printer and driver installed. Once a print job is submitted, it reads printing, but there is no action on the printer. Other times it gives a port error. I tested the printer under OSX 4 and it printed with no problem. I also have a similar problem on the XP partition of this system. Please advise.

I don't think Lexmark has a Leopard driver for this printer yet. This problem was discussed earlier here

  • How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

    How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
    I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
    I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
    printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
    I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

    You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning.  You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.

  • Unable to Connect to Network Printer

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Samsung ML-1640 through my wireless router's print server feature but its not working. Whereas I am able to print through my Windows PC's on the network with no issues.
    On giving print command the print job is getting paused around 40-50% in the print que and not printing. Neither the printer is getting pinged through Network Utility.
    The printer is work fine with my MBP 13' when attached directly through its USB port.
    1) Have tried deleting & re-adding the printer through its IP with all the three different protocols LPD, IPP & HP JetDirect.
    2) Have updated to the latest drivers from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL905
    3) Also, have gone through the troubleshooting steps given in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11070

    Tried with your suggested steps but no luck. First I just added IP address of the router (192.168.1.1) with IPP as protocol, it did not print. Here's the error log from Print Queue for your reference;
    E [14/Feb/2013:13:03:10 +0530] [Job 1] Unable to queue job for destination "ipp://abc-macbook-pro.home/printers/Samsung_ML_1640".

    Then, added the printer with 192.168.1.1:631 as IP address and again no luck. Here's the error log;

  • Share printer on network Windows 7 with Mac OS 10.5

    I connected my Win7 PC to my local network and it prints fine on the PC, but I need some assistance getting the printer recognized to print on the eMac running 10.5. Thanks for any help.

    Please tell us the printer model.
    Confirm - the printer is connected to Windows, and shared from there?

  • Basic tiger server printing to network printer issues - HELP :)

    Hi everyone, Im after some help as im running out of ideas, here is my basic setup: (sorry i have rambled on a bit
    current 192.168.0.x network that has ADSL, PC's HP Laserjet 5Si network printer.
    Connected to that is my Tiger server with 2 lan ports, one is connected to that network and the other connected to a switch where I run all my macs - the server is a basic file and software update server.
    macs connected to the server get a 192.168.2.x address and can access the internet and each other etc - all is happy.
    now - I had my personal macbook pro connected directly to the first network to access the printer, works fine and fairly quickly but was unable to access the server (i imagine because the server thinks i was from the big bad internet from the .0.x range
    once i connected to the other network served by the mac server i could access all the files fine but printing would not work, so i thought I would have the server access the printer as it has access to both networks and just share it to the local macs.
    well when i add it and put in the 192.168.0.71 address it connects and loads the GIMP HP5si driver, but when it tried to print it takes up to 5 mins to show that its finished, but only sometimes does the printer actually fire up, and the times it did it never printed the whole page...
    The only thing i can think of is that the server is trying to print to the .0.x address'ed printer but using the .2.x address range, possibly confusing the systems.., im not too familiar with all the firewall/NAT settings ,i think i have everything turned off, but its still not working..
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, im not sure what else to do.
    Thank you for your time

    This sounds more like a protocol or a driver issue rather than an addressing issue. Which protocol is being used to connect to the printer? You mention the GIMP driver gets loaded, which I read that it's an automatic function rather than you having to manually browse to the driver.
    Also, I would look at trying the Gutenprint drivers from Sourceforge rather than the included GIMP-Print.
    The other thing would be to check the cups error log on the server. It could give some clues as to why the spool file is taking so long.

  • Need Help: Printing on network printer

    Hi.
    I have computer with shared printer. It has Fedora Core 5 operating system and CUPS.
    How can I print from my computer that is based on Solaris 10 to this printer (from Mozilla for example).
    I can access printer: print test pages and see it's jobs using HTTP:
    http://host_ip:631/printers/printer_name
    I tryed to add access to printer using Printer Administrator, in Print Server, I wrote: host_ip/printers/printer_name, but in Print Manager - printer displayed as "Out Of Service".
    I was unable to input: host_ip:631/printers/printer_name because of error message: "server name invalid".
    Also, I tryed to add network printer from Printer Administrator, I wrote in destination few variants:
    1. http://host_ip:631/printers/printer_name
    2. host_ip
    3. host_ip:631
    4. host_ip:631/printers/printer_name/
    5. host_ip:631/printers/
    It works from Windows and Linux.
    How can I print from Solaris to that printer?
    Thank you.

  • CUPS not printing to network printer.Printer visible to avahi and cups

    Hey. Printing seemed to be working fine last time I checked (which, granted, was a while ago...I don't print that much). I have a networked Canon MG4100 class printer. Avahi sees the printer just fine, as does cups (I can add and modify the printer without any troubles). However when I try to print, it starts printing but then the Cups interface notifies me 'Unable to locate printer "canon.local".'
    1. The printer works fine from a windows laptop
    2. I reset the printer and the wireless router it's attached to
    3. I restarted my laptop

    Scott

    I'll look into that when I get a chance. I'm just using the Gutenprint drivers. They were working fine up until recently...I just don't know at what point because I rarely print! I'm a little leery of adding the printer with a static IP address, because it's not a static IP setup...I know it should stay the same for the most part, but I thought that's why we used Avahi...to get away from having to know the IP address!
    Thanks for the input!

  • Problem printing to networked printer

    I have a strange printing problem:
    13" unibody MacBook running OS X 10.6.3
    Dell dimension desktop PC running Win XP Home Edition (SP3)
    Wireless LAN connecting the two computers above via Time Capsule wireless base station.
    Canon Pixma MP540 printer connected to PC via USB.
    Printer set up on PC as shared and visible to MacBook over wireless LAN.
    Printing from PC to printer OK.
    Printing from MacBook to printer places job in print queue on PC but status never changes from 'spooling' and print job never completes.
    If I connect the printer directly to the MacBook via USB it prints with no problems. I can also then see the printer as a network printer from the PC and successfully print to it from there.
    Can anyone suggest why the job never completes when the printer is attached to the PC?
    Thanks, Ian

    I'm having the exact same problem! It's so annoying

  • Pages will not print via network printer

    I have purchased and installe Pages and Numbers and neither one will print to my network printer. I have been using my DeskJet 970 on my network without trouble.
    I can print from other apps installed on my iPad via this same printer.
    In support of printing I have purchased Print-N-Share as well as PrintCentral Pro. I have also install wePrint on my desktop.
    When I open Pages and attempt to print I am asked to select a printer. The message that comes up is that no Airprint printers were found. It totally ignores my wePrint server app which connects Print-N-Share and PrintCentral Pro.
    I have already requested a reinstatement to my account for $9.99 which Apple has thus far ignored.
    Has anyone experience this or found a solution to this problem.

    Hi All printers are different. I suggest you contact the printer manufacture. Do you have the installation disc that came with the printer?? Try installing the printer on all computers that do not work?? Also unplug the printer for 20 seconds. Some times I have to unplug my HP to get it to work wireless. It's kind a like rebooting your PC
    Dokie!!

  • Printing to network printer from OS 9.2 to OS 10.4

    I have an HP Deskjet 810c connected to my Mac running OS 10.4 and want to print from my other Mac running OS 9.2. Both Macs have drivers installed.
    The computers are networked via a Linksys cabled router.
    I tried doing what Apples suggests in their 10.4 help area (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh660.html) but it still doesn't work.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    Ted

    The link you gave is for printing from Classic programs on the same Mac. To print from another Mac running OS 9.2:
    1) On the server (with printer attached) enable print sharing both in Sharing prefs and in Print & Fax prefs.
    2) again on OS X (server), in Printer Setup highlight the Deskjet and click Show Info and find and write down the queue name. Also find the server IP address in Network Prefs and write it down.
    3) On the OS 9 computer, find Apple Printer Utility (usually in Apple Extras) and start it. Create an LPR/LPD printer and enter the IP address and queue name where asked for.
    4) Important - For printer model, choose an Apple Color LaserWriter xx as the PPD/model. This entire setup assumes a postscript printer. The good news is that OS X expects to receive postscript input and it translates that for the Deskjet.
    PS, it is possible that the HP driver you installed on OS9 could work, in which case you don't need to follow the above postscript procedure. Instead, in Chooser on OS 9, select the appletalk driver for your deskjet and if the printer attached to the server shows up, select it (right side of Chooser) and it may then work. I haven't got an older deskjet to try, so I don't know if it'll work.

  • Printing to network printer - problems!

    Printing from iMac 24 running 10.4.11 to an Epson Printer connected via USB to iMac 27 running 10.6.2.
    On the 24, which is on wireless network, I get the printer show up when I hit print, but then it just locks up with the error: 'The process "ipp" stopped unexpectedly with status 1'. And nothing prints.
    Printer used to work fine when plugged into this Mac alone.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Tim, did you remove the previous instance of that Printer yet?
    If not, do so, then add the new one, (well, it's a new location anyway).
    If that doesn't do it or you have already, might try these two...

  • Can't print to network printer after application is built

    All computers are Windows 2000, LabVIEW 5.1.1. While the application is run from Labview, printing to a network printer works fine(using the Easy Text Report.vi). The application was then made into an exe using the application builder. The development system was removed from the computer and network printing still works ok. When the exe is installed on a different computer (along with AccessHW and CVIRTE5.5) network printing does not work from the application. Other programs on this computer can do network printing.
    It appears the development system has installed some files that are retained even after the development system is removed. What am I missing.

    Did you create an installer and choose to include NI Reports Installer on the Advanced settings? NI Reports uses an ActiveX component that must be installed.

  • Evince print to network printer

    I'm having a hard time with this and nothing's coming up. I have a printer I'm successfully connected to via CUPS, I can print fine in OpenOffice.
    However, evince won't print. The "print" button is grayed out. I -need- to print PDFs and right now literally the only way is to borrow a windows machine and knock 'er out.
    Help!

    Unless you have a really abnormal printer/network configuration:
    sudo mv /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.bak
    sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
    sudo /etc/rc.d/cups restart
    I had the same problem today....there's a slightly different cupsd.conf format, I guess.
    Good luck!
    Scott
    Edit:
    You might also change the AuthType line under   # All printer operations require a printer operator to authenticate...
    to
    AuthType none
    so it doesn't ask you for a password or fail silently if the program isn't designed to prompt you for a password.
