USB Shared Printers (Full Printing Functions)???????

Hi All
Not sure if this is the proper place to ask this question, but here goes.
I have 4 macs, 1 Intel, 1 G5, 1G4 and 1G3 all running the latest system software except for the G3 (10.3.9) I have 3 printers, all HP that I am trying to share through USB Printer Sharing. I have all of them connected via a USB hub to the G3 with Printer Sharing on. But that is not the question, because I can get them to print no problem, but I lose all of the advanced printing functions of each. For example, paper type, quality, etc.
Did I do something wrong, can I get them to work? Or is it just a fact of Printer Sharing?
As a side note, when hooked directly to my main computer (via USB with all drivers loaded) all printing functions work just fine.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Make sure that all of the other machines have the same versions of the printer drivers as the sharing machine. That may help.

  • USB Shared Printers????

    Hi All
    I have 4 macs, 1 Intel, 1 G5, 1G4 and 1G3 all running the latest system software except for the G3 (10.3.9) I have 3 printers, all HP that I am trying to share through USB Printer Sharing. I have all of them connected via a USB hub to the G3 with Printer Sharing on in the sharing system preferences, as well as, share these printers in the "Print & Fax" preference pane.
    But none the less, the only computer that can print to the printers is the one directly conected to the printers via the USB cord.
    The other computers do not even show a "shared printer" in the print dialog box.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Please ask if you need additional information.
    Thanks in advance.

    This may sound silly, but have you added these shared printers in the Printer Setup utility? If you have, have you added the correct printers?
    One thing I do is make sure each computer has a different name and when adding shared printers I MAKE SURE that I am adding a printer actually connected to the appropriate computer. For some odd reason, ghost printers occasionally appear on the network (printers listed as being connected to computers that they simply are not connected to).

  • Epson shared printers- can't control print quality

    Hi someone,
    We have an espon stylus photo 1280, and an epson stylus photo R200.
    Both are connected to one Intel iMac via USB.
    We have 2 other Macs - one iMac G5, and Mac mini G5 which are sharing these printers. All have the latest Tiger OS 10.4.6.
    They print fine, but the problem we're having is that the 2 computers which are using the printers via the network do not have access to Epson's special utilities when in the print dialogue screen - ie: they cannot change the print quality, paper stock, black vs colour etc. when just about to print.
    The only one that does have access to Epson's controls is the one which is connected via USB.
    We also can not see the printers from the other 2 macs in the Printer Browser when searching for them using appletalk, or epson appletalk etc....only in the Default Browser as "Shared Printers"
    Does this have something to do with it?
    How can we get the 2 Macs which are using the printers as "shared printers" access to the epson print options?
    thanks!

    Are your printers "networked" as in using ethernet, or are they simply shared, using the OSX shared printers feature? I think it makes a difference.
    I had a similar problem. My printer, an Epson 1280 is connected to mu iMac G4 via USB, and is shared by my MacBook Pro. I was unable to access the Epson print utility features that allow setting quality, borderless prints, etc. I contacted Epson and they sent me the following fix. it took care of the problem. I can change the settings from either the primary iMac or from the shared printer on the Laptop.

  • Printing From iBook To Printer on a Vista, Can't see Vista shared printers

    Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately. When same machine is booted into XP the priners share perfectly with both of my iBooks, but when the same machine is booted into Vista with the printer shared etc, the iBooks don't see the printer. Other Windows machines on the newtork do see the shared printers in Vista.
    I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
    On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

  • Can´t print on my Shared Printers

    After Mavericks upgrade I can't print to my shared printers. The shared printer's are one Canon MP210 and one Canon MP 240. They are connected to an iBook with 10.5.8 with the most recent drivers from canon.
    Both printers are printing fine with my other computers and I'm also capable of printing with Mavericks computer when I make a direct usd connection,
    I also can share files beteween the iBook and the iMac w/Mavericks. I can even share the screen. But when i try to print I get the error: Stopped on server - Unable to write uncompressed document data
    Any ideias?
    I already reset the printing system
    Download the latest drivers

    Hi PAHU,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Both drivers are the same. The ones in the iBook and the ones in the iMac and other computers.
    I can print from these drivers on the iMac as long as I do it with a direct USB connection. I can also print with the same drivers from all the others computers to the shared iBook and from the iBook.
    It seems a communications issue on mavericks...

  • Network shared printers stop working; default printer changes

    Hello,
    Have an odd printing issue that seems to be ongoing and am trying to come up with a good solution or fix for it.
    We have an environment that has a Windows 2012R2 Print Server, that is sharing various printers which are also set to List in Directory.  Some of the printers are HP and are using the HP Universal driver which shows as "True" for Packaged in
    the print management window, and some of the printers are Canon which are using device specific drivers and show as "False" for Packaged.  My understanding is that the packaged attribute simply indicates that Point and Print can then download
    the driver and install/use it without any security prompts whereas if it is not Packaged, then the driver must be installed on the local server/workstation by an Administrator.  We have Group Policy defined such that all Point and Print restrictions are
    Disabled.
    We then have multiple Remote Desktop Session Hosts based on Server 2008R2 (x64).  Users connect to these hosts via thin clients (Wyse) and there is a domain login script using KiXtart that creates printer connections to the shared printers using an address
    of \\printserver\printername.  We also set the default printer via the login script each time depending on user's group membership.
    Each part of this setup is on it's own routed VLAN subnet, so the Print Server is on 192.168.0.x/24, RDSHs are on 192.168.1.x/24 and the printers themselves are on 192.168.2.x/24.  There is no firewall or other restrictions between the subnets, all traffic
    is allowed to flow.
    The issue we are having is two parts, the first is the larger issue, but both are a pain:
    1) Randomly (no discernible pattern/reason/timeframe), some Canon printers will stop appearing in Print dialog boxes from applications when a user tries to print.  It only seems to happen on the Canon printers.  The printer will still show in Control
    Panel -> Devices and Printers, but when you right click it and try to go to Printer Properties or view any of the printer settings, you'll get an error saying the printer is not accessible/valid.  I have also tried a WMI query for "select * from
    win32_printer" and the printer will not be returned.  To temporarily fix it, we right click the printer, and choose to remove it and then go through the wizard to re-add the same printer from the directory again.  That will correct it and the
    user can print again, view all properties, etc.  This doesn't happen to every user but happens sporadically and once it happens to a user it seems to pop up once every week or two.
    Now, we have made a change and installed the Canon printers in question locally on the Remote Desktop Session Hosts themselves using TCP/IP ports so that each user logging into the session host will see all of the printers.  This also seems to have resolved
    this issue.  So it leads me to think there is some sort of timeout or connection getting dropped, but for no real apparent reason.  This is all on a virtualized platform and so the Print Server and Session Hosts have very reliable LAN connections
    amongst themselves.  And further, we never see the issue with the HP printers, they seem to maintain their stability at all times.
    2) The other issue we are seeing is that from time to time the default printer setting changes or vanishes altogether.  It doesn't happen to every user but once it does happen it happens regularly (multiple times a day).  This happens even when using
    the locally mapped TCP/IP printer or when using the network print server.  From what I have read and found, this generally seems to be a known issue regarding redirected client printers and some GP settings related thereto.  But we aren't redirecting
    any local client printers, everything is network based/shared.
    In digging into these two issues I have run across the following error we get regularly in the PrintService Event Viewer log:
    The print spooler failed to import the printer driver that was downloaded from \\printserver\print$\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_amd64_59246c3ac1bd3f2a.cab into the driver store for driver Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver. Error code= 800f024b.
    This can occur if there is a problem with the driver or the digital signature of the driver.
    And digging further into that seems to be that their was an error validating one of the DLL files as seen at the following thread:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/9fe186e4-52f7-4552-a223-b2320cfc9ed5/driver-install-semi-fails-with-800f024b?forum=winserverprint
    We get the exact same error that is shown there UNISRV.DLL being flagged as invalid, and have applied the hotfix indicated in KB2701894.
    I am not sure the above error is realted to the issues at hand, but figured it is a good starting point to eliminate it as a potential cause of the issue.
    Any input or suggestions on what to do to diagnose or further resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

    Alan, I'm getting this error 600 in my company. Is there any fix for this problem?
    After installing KB2919355 on Windows 2012 R2, when I try to map a shared printer I receive the following error message: A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator.
    If I uninstall the patch the shared printer maps correctly.
    I also notice that if I copy the driver \\server\print$\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_amd64_a7ac65d1b7714fb1.cab
    from a Windows 2012 R2 before applying KB2919355 to the server that has the patch applyed (and rename it), I can map the printer.
    Does anyone know if there is a fix for that?

  • Using Print Utility on USB Shared Printer

    Hi all -
    I have an Epson C84 printer connected to the USB port of my Airport Extreme. My Tower (10.3.9) is connected to AEx via ethernet, and my MacBook (10.5.6) is wireless. Both computers can successfully access and print to the Epson. So far, so good.
    My problem is that with the Epson connected via AEx, I can no longer use its Printer Utility (to check ink levels, clean printheads, etc). I've been told that AEx's USB port supports printing only, but not any utility applications. The only way I can run Print Utility is to physically remove the AEx cable from the printer and replace it with another cable connected directly to the Tower. To put it mildly, this is very inconvenient.
    I'm thinking of one possible solution, but don't know if it would work. If I were to connect a USB hub to the printer, and then connect the hub's remote ports to the AEx and the Tower, would that still allow printing from both computers via AEx while also allowing Printer Utility via the Tower? If not, any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts -

    That won't work since USB expects only a single controller.

  • My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
    Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation.

  • Shared Printers Slow to Appear in Printer Broswer

    We have an all Mac Network hosted by a Dual 2GHz G5 running 10.4.9 Server. I have setup 7 shared printers on the server for easy access and printing from any of our workstations.
    It seems like sometimes when adding new printers to a new workstation config, the printer browser takes longer that I would expect to populate the window with the shared printer queues. Also even if I have a Selected Printer in Print Dialog set to a specific shared printer, sometimes the first time I attempt to print, I may not get that printer first. Furthermore, the first time I print, the print dialog box takes an abnormally amount of time to appear, much slower than if I installed the print driver locally and configured a printer to point to the IP address of the printer.
    Any suggestions that could possibly speed this up?

    Hello,
    I don't really have ideas, but maybe you should have a look to the "browse" directive.
    Maybe all your mac try to send and get printers entries, so it makes everything slow...
    Try "Browsing Off" in the /etc/cupsd.conf of your clients (and client.conf should contain ServerName yourserver.local) then restart print service.
    Just a clue... hope it could help.

  • HT1150 I have two shared printers and I want to be able to select the printer when it is time to print without having to set a default EACH time.  Can I just have a prompt to ask me which printer to use???

    I have two shared printers and I want to be able to select one printer when it is time to print without having to set a default EACH time.  Can I just have a prompt or dialog box that will ask me which printer would you like to use???  The only options I can find are "default" and "Last printer used" which means I must go into the Print & Fax area and change the default EACH time I want to print???  Seems very low tech.....

    In most cases you get this dialog box every time you print. It is called the print dialog and normally when you print, a print dialog appear showing the printer that is to be used. Which printer you see will be based on what you have set in Print & Fax as you mention. But regardless of what you have set there, you still have the option to change the printer via the print dialog.
    If you are using an application that does not show the print dialog, like MS Word and that stupid "print one copy" print icon in the toolbar, then you can often change the action the print icon uses so that the print dialog appears.

  • Anyone else killed all Print functionality in 10.4.8?

    Installed a new HP Laserjet 4250 in a lab full of various Macs running 10.4.8. Used bonjour to auto setup on all of them and it works fine on all but two. On those two computers (one an iBook and the other a Powerbook) the Print button in the print dialog is now dead. It looks normal but is unclickable. Same goes for the Preview button. Absolutley nothing happens, and the scary part is this doesn't just apply to the new printer it does this when trying to print to all previously installed printers and all newly created printers!
    Various usual troubleshooting steps, throwing out prefs, deleting and re-creating printers, (both with the 4250 ppd and the generic ppd) up to and including a full printing system reset, make no difference. The Print button is dead... Long live the Print button!
    The workaround is to choose a Preset from the preset menu. When the dialog opens it says "Standard" but it seems the "Standard" preset has not actually been applied, now it must be chosen to be activated. Doesn't matter what preset you choose, you just have to choose something and the buttons will become active again. Not difficult but annoying.
    Has anyone else run into this? Does anyone know how to reset the Preset? I've thrown out all the prefs files I can find.
    Thanks.

    I think you left out some details-
    The Photosmart 3310 is a USB printer, so to make it a network printer you are sharing it? From a Mac?
    I solved the problem, following the tips of greg sahil (thanks a lot!).
    After Reset Printing System Print Button is alive again.
    Here are some generic troubleshooting steps to try:
    Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
    Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
    Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
    If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
    Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
    Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD, or start from the Install DVD to use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive.

  • Open port issues with Direct Print functionality

    Hi, I have been fighting with HP call support about the Photosmart 7525 printer.
    Originally I setup and had performed all the functions to enable both web support and WIFI.
    Within an hour the printer would not respond to wireless communication, though it had its wireless indecator showing it was connected.
    I was told by HP support that the issue will be resolved in March, as there will be a firmware update to fix the issue.
    Now that I had the printer install the new firmware I still get the issue.
    Though I found through some sniffing, that there are a number of ports enabled and open that are over and beyond print requirements.
    Funny thing I can send my printer into instant lockup with all lights flashing with a simple UDP ping sniff. I would think I can do this with other new HP printers using Eprint functions. I will find HP web based printers that are open for public printing and test my theory that HP Eprinters are open to hacking and denyal of service attempts.  My Hp print app on andriod list three in my area, and one is at my local Walmart. This would be cool to find this, as I am usually not the first to point such matters out.
    I assume some are for Apple devices to print.
    Here is my sniffing report:

    OK now I am able to run a full scan on TCP ports without causing a lock up of the printer.
    I found that having the printer connect to a router that has been setup to use channel 5, 6 or 7 will cause port scanning issues with the printer.
    It is obvious that there are 18 ports that are seen as open, whether they are used or not. Two of which are active but have no service connected to them. Some are just dead like port 25, but over half are active enough to recieve data and lock network connectivity within the printer.
    As the firmware states some other laser jets may be affected depending on how the configuration can be set.
    I moved my routers channel to channel 1 as it is the only other option I have in a highly congested location. It is not as good as channel 6, but the printer seems to have channel 6 locked in for direct printing.
    Here is the latest full scan with UDP enabled, it is the furthest and most complete scan I am able to complete, with UDP ports enabled. The TCP port scan has a bit more and I have placed a simple list below the information given here:

  • How to you "publish" Bonjour Shared printers using Workgroup Manager?

    Dear Friends,
    Hello. We have just spend considerable time setting up Mac OS X 10.6.4 server to host some printers to our Mac clients (previously we had used a Windows print server but it was too slow and inflexible). We have the printers we need set-up and shared out as Bonjour Shared printers because that sends out all of the duplex setting we need. I have tried to "publish" these using Workgroup Manager and they do not show up on the list. How do you "publish" these printers using WGM? NOT: We can't just let people select "nearby" printers because we want to set a default and use kerberos security.

    Anthony,
    Thank you for you help. The procedure you outline is what we have attempted to do. We add the Bonjour-shared printers to a client and then open Work Group Manager on the same computer but when you go to the "Printing" pane of "Preferences" the printers do not show under "Available Printers", neither do USB printers.
    Hope this clarifies our problem. We would like to use Work Group Manager as advertised but it doesn't seem to be working for us.
    Welcome to my world…
    This 'bug' has existed for several major versions of Mac OS X Server (10.6, 10.5, and maybe 10.4). I did report it more than once to Apple as an official bug but they don't seem to 'get it' despite my best efforts.
    You can do the following
    Add a printer directly to a computer running WGM,
    Then use WGM to 'push' the printer out to clients,
    The model of the printer will then also be pushed out to clients so they automatically select the correct driver but not the correct paper tray/duplex/etc. settings.
    You can do the following
    Add a Mac OS X Printer Server queue to the computer running WGM (which must not be the same computer acting as the Mac OS X Printer Server) if you do this via the Bonjour advertisement of the queue then it will not get the model, or any settings from the print server.
    You can then push this queue out to clients via WGM
    You cannot do the following
    Add a Mac OS X Printer Server queue to the computer running WGM (which must not be the same computer acting as the Mac OS X Printer Server) if you do this via IPP, then the WGM machine will get the model automatically, but not any paper tray/duplex settings.
    However this queue cannot then be seen in WGM and therefore cannot be pushed out to clients.
    Apparently doing custom XML, would allow also pushing out printer settings, but this is so far from 'the Macintosh Way' that only a masochist would do it.
    This area is one of the few where the Mac is significantly worse than Windows, it is an area that Microsoft (mostly) sorted literally decades ago. Not only in the Windows world can you push the printer model, and the printer settings, but you can even if needed push the entire printer driver out to the (Windows) clients.
