Want to install network printer

Hi,
I am running Xfce4 over Arch 7 on a small windows network. We have a HP Laserjet on the 'server' that I can see in the SMB Network portion of Xffm. What I haven't been able to do is install it so I can use it from my machine. I have tried to find Xfce4 docs that would help but have had no luck Can anyone help??
Also, while I'm at it, is there anywhere I can find detailed docs on the use of xffm? Again, I've tried but can't find any. The Xfce site seems to assume that a lot of stuff is alrady known.
Thanks,
Jim

Yes it is! However, can u explain how to change icon themes in detail. (I don't want to damage the system) The doc just says where u do it but not what to do.
Also, can u recommend a graphical editor (something like Kate in KDE)?
EDIT: Forget the editor remark. I just found GVIM!!

Satellite L350-171 - Installing network printer

I am having problems installing my Canon Pixma IP4300 printer as a network printer. The printer is connected to a desktop PC and then a Dynamode R-ADSL-C4-2 router. This is connected to the laptop by a cable, which was previously connected to my old laptop.
How do I install the network printer on the Toshiba. I have gone into Ctrl Panel and then Printers. I found the install printer option and selected install network printer. It then asks me to find the printer or else print it in manually. I did try to install it from the Canon disk, but things stuck during the process. Do I need the disk atall? How do I find what to call the printer?
Any help much appreciated.

Dear Trenny
Is this question posted on the right forum? Please don't be mad on me but what has Toshiba to do with network printers.
Do you have some problems with your Satellite notebook?
Do all ports work properly?
Is operating system working well?
For network printer configuration you can find enough pages here.

Problem on installing network printer Officejet Pro x451dw

Problem on installing network printer Officejet Pro x451dw
Hello everyone. I'm trying to install the above printer on my PC belonging to a network of about 7 pc. I should say that on the PC in question is running Windows XP Professional SP3 and that the printer has already been installed on other computers in the network and is functioning. I tried using both the driver CD that can be found on the HP website and they both do not give errors during instalation, indeed, perfectly detect the printer and its IP address, so the installation finishes successfully, but the press the test page, the waiting time extends until the error message "unable to print the document." I also made an attempt with the software "hp scan doctor" and also this does not detect errors up to the test of the final print, that does not go through. At this point the software calls to make a print "internal" that this time occurs. The suggestion is to uninstall and then reinstall the HP software, but this intervention does not have a positive outcome. How else could I do attempt ??? I ask for help! Thank you for your attention. regards Roberto
Problema su installazione di rete stampante Officejet Pro x451dw
Salve a tutti. Sto cercando di installare la suddetta stampante sul mio PC appartenente ad una rete di circa 7 pc. Devo premettere che sul pc in questione è installato Windows Xp Professional SP3 e che la stampante è stata già installata sugli altri computer della rete ed è funzionante. Ho provato ad utilizzare sia il driver del CD che quello reperibile sul sito HP ed entrambi non danno errori in fase di instalazione, anzi, rilevano perfettamente la stampante ed il suo indirizzo IP, così l'installazione si conclude con esito positivo, ma alla stampa della pagina di prova il tempo di attesa si protrae fino al messaggio di errore " impossibile stampare documento ". Ho anche fatto un tentativo con il software "hp scan doctor" ed anche quest'ultimo non rileva errori fino alla prova di stampa finale, che non va a buon fine. A questo punto il software invita a effettuare una stampa " interna" che questa volta avviene. Il suggerimento è quello di disinstallare il software hp per poi reinstallare, ma anche questo intervento non ha esiti positivi. quale altro tentativo potrei fare ??? Chiedo aiuto ! Grazie per l'attenzione. Saluti Roberto

Can't install network printer.. Drivers won't install

I am currently upgrading my Window XP pro machines to Windows 7 Ultimate "32 bit" I have software on the workstation that is VITAL to operation and no longer available for download and media is destroyed. I was successful in upgrading to Vista
32 and upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate. The updates all installed and I figured I was home free.. :Not so MUCH: When I try to install any network printer It errors out at point of installing the driver. I am only having this issue on upgrades to Window 7 Ultimate.
On Machines I only upgraded to Window 7 Professional, the printer install fine. I am receiving the same error on any printer of any manufacturer, HP, Ricoh ,Canon..... 0x00000f0d...etc. I have cleaned out the printer and drivers, stopped and
started print spooler, and am running out of options.
Thanks in advance

Hi，
What is the detailed information of the error message?
I suggest you install the driver in a compatibility mode, see instructions in the following link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/80cae5ee-dc98-4a2f-8284-a1ab826059b7/how-to-install-a-hardware-device-driver-using-compatibility-mode
And it is recommended to view the manufacture website or contact the printer manufacture to check if they have a appropriate printer for Window 7 Ultimate.

Unable to install network printer

hello:
i just got a network drive (Western Digital Netcenter) that has a print server as well. on my iBook (OS X 10.2.8) i can see the files on the network drive, but i cannot seem to add my printer (epson stylus photo r300). i can print fine from my PC from this networked printer. the instructions from WD say to click "Windows Printing" after clicking to add a printer, but this option is not available. any ideas?? thanks

no dice. sorry it's been a while for my response, but i've been out of town with the holiday. anyway, tried Wd-Netcenter as the share name as well as the printer name. WD says that the printer name should be the name of the model up to 13 characters, but printers with a name longer than 13 characters won't work with Mac and their network drive. no matter what i do i can install the printer, but when i try to print a document it times out with an error message saying "Cannot connect via Samba, will try again in x seconds" or something to that effect. i'm going to try updating the firmware on the network drive and try again but i'm not holding my breath given the level of support i've gotten from WD. thanks for all your help will update if i get things working....

Installing network printer and downloaded print drivers aren't recognized.

I downloaded drivers for the Canon ImagePRESS C1 and they seem to install just fine. However, when I install the network printer the driver is not listed anywhere. Even when I choose "Other" and point to the device folder the files are greyed out, and I can't select the driver. I've tried updates and resetting the print system an still no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
drh08

There are three printer options (at least here in Oz there is) available for the imagePRESS C1. There is the internal Canon printer board and two external print controllers - the imagePASS-T1 and the imagePRESS-Q1, which is what we have connected to our C1. Each of these print controllers have different drivers so you need to determine which one you have first. If you are not sure, then check with someone or have a look at the C1. If it has a white metal box hanging on the back of the copier with some network cables, then you have the T1. If there is a PC case connected to the copier then you have the Q1. If the network cable connects from the wall straight to a network card on the back left side of the machine, then you have the internal Canon board.
For the two imagePASS controllers, you can download the driver from the print controller, by opening its internal web page (type the copiers IP address into your web browser to access). These queues for these drivers are added via IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket and you should find the driver by searching for either T1 or C1 in the Print using menu.
If you have the Canon board, then how you create the printer queue depends on which driver you have downloaded. Could you tell me the driver name and version so I can explain the method of adding the printer queue.

HT1338 I have version 10.5.8, but want to install new printer that requires 10.6 or higher. It states my software is up to date. I have tried to download higher updates, but says not compatible. Do I have to buy new software or can I update?

I have version 10.5,8 and want to install a new hp photoshop 5520. It states I need 10.6 or higher? Can I download or do I need to buy snow leapard or mountain lion?

If you're using a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the highest OS version it can.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

I want to install a hp laserjet pro cp1525nw with ox mountain lion . I dowload the drivers in the apple site but when i try to add a printer , my mac book air do not start the research. nothing happen . Can you help me?

Can you help me?

hi . I had the simalar problems of my HP b209a-m printer not being seen on my wireless network> I could not add the printer and could not get the printer to join my network, I found this post at HP discussion and it worked!
Each printer has different options/settings but it seems like the general idea should work ok if you can reset printer back to factory settings and find Printer IP Adress.
This is for HP printers
1. On the printer navigate to the Wireless or Network menu.
2. Select Restore Defaults.
3. On your computer look for a wireless network named 'hpsetup' and connect to it.
4. Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to see its IP address. (on my b209a-m Printer the IP info was found by pressing the Wireless Icon)
5. Type the IP address into the address bar of a web browser to see the printer's internal settings.
6. Click on the Network tab and look for the Wireless Setup Wizard and run it.
7. The Passphrase is the password you use on your wireless connection.
8. Now change the network name on your computer back to your wireless network.
The printer will now be connected to your network. With your the computer backyour wireless network network, you can re-add the printer from System Preferences.
Hope this works--- it did for me.

[Solved] Adding Network Printer Arch+Openbox

I've Arch with openbox installed. I need to add the network printer so I can print stuff at my university without switching to windows (hate windows :S). I went to IT guys at my school and they gave me printer queue information and they have no clue how to install network printers on Linux. This is the instruction file they gave me:
To add printer support, from the console type "printtool". You have to be in X-windows to use this application, it does not run in the console.
Click on "Remote Unix (lpd) Queue".
Names = $$$$
Spool Directory = /var/spool/lpd/lp0
Remote Host = $$$$
Remote Queue = $$$$
Above instructions are for Red Hat Linux and I do not have printtool. I was reading about cups, lpd, lpr and but I'm confused, I do not want to setup network printer I just need to print documents from the network printer that has been already setup in my uni network. Any help would be appreciated.

1) Your printer already has a cups server. Edit your client.conf and be happy.
2) Your printer allows remote lpd and you want to print without cups. Use LPRng instead (install from AUR). Since most applications are preconfigured for CUPS this will be more work and you'll have to know what you are doing.
3) Your printer allows remote lpd and/or some other protocol. Install and start the cups server, add the network printer and start printing. I already mentioned this in my previous post.
By the way, the wiki mentions this (except for the unsupported LPRng)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … g_workflow
There are two ways to setup a printer.
* If there's a CUPS server running in your network and sharing a printer you only need to install the client package.
* If the printer is connected directly to your system or you have access to an IPP network printer then setup a local CUPS server.

How i can define network printer to report that can use it

hi all
i want to define network printer to the report
and the format of the printer full name and its port ?
another question
when i use the local printer it print but there are web opened and contain uncertain
letters
i want this web to be closed

Hi John
Thanks for replying,
My current setup is this, my non apple router is accessed wirelessly by all my computers, ie imac, mac mini and macbook pro, ipad & iphones for internet.
My printer is in another room so therefore I cannot connect the AEBS (airport extreme base station) with an ethernet cable (I have intially in order to update the firmware and other updates) so in following the attached guidelines are you saying that I have to have the AEBS connected with the ethernet cable to the router?
I was hoping to wirelessly connect.
The wish is that all my devices can print wirelessly
What has happened though is that I can access the AEBS wirelessly, but it has disabled me from my router so I cannot connect to the internet neither to that network
Any other advice
Thanks
Regards

I cannot install a printer, which Firefox asks for. My printer works with all else. Looks like its time to move on.

In FF, select print:
Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?
yes
Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running.
So - I've reinstalled Mozilla and Firefox twice now. As a NOVICE user I'd say that I didn't know any better after using my printer for ALL other programs including both MAC and PC platforms Currently.

Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?
yes
Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running.
Here is how I was able to resolve this problem.
I first made sure I had downloaded but not installed the latest Firefox setup file.
Go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall Firefox but keep your Personal Data.
Locate where the Firefox was originally installed, usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and rename this folder.
Locate the Firefox setup file and reinstall the program again, this resolved my problem. I hope it fixes yours.

Adding a Network Printer - 2012 Essentials

I am using small business server 2012 essentials and looking to purchase a network printer. The issue I see is that many of the printers I have researched do not have drivers for essentials. Some will list out R2, but I do not have that, only Essentials.
Is there a workaround to installing a printer or do the windows server 2012 drivers that most manufactures use work for the Essentials operating system. I already tried to install a Ricoh printer and used the windows server 2012 and R2 drivers, tried to manually
install the drivers, but did not work. Thanks

Hi ChrisCJK,
I agree with Cliff Galiher’s viewpoint.
Please browse the web site of printer manufacturer, and check if you can get a latest version of the driver. Then monitor if it can help you to add the printer for
Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
Meanwhile, please refer to the following article. It provided the details of installing Network Printer to Windows Server 2012 Essentials. The printer is different
with yours. However, may give some thoughts.
Windows Server 2012 Essentials : Add a Network Printer

Bluetooth Network Printing

I want to get Network Printing maxxed out. I am thinking about a couple of options, maybe both. Help me if you can:
1. Get an all-in-one setup, hopefully Canon, that is a Network device, so I can plug it into my router, and all machines on the Network can see it. Any recommendations? Any chance I can scan with any machine on the Network with these? Top price I want to pay is $150.
2. Are there any devices that plug into my computer, then also plug into my printer, and, will print as if I had a USB cable from my computer to the printer? Will these work with scanners? Note: This does not require IP Printing to work, but would it, if the devices are not IP devices?
Thanks.

Hello Scb,
Be careful going down this route - I have just been there.
I wanted Bluetooth printing also. Bought a Canon MP600. Brilliant..... NOT!
A normal Bluetooth " dongle " would have worked I hear you saying, nope! You need a special Canon dongle. So special it costs a whopping £49:00 UK.
What ever you purchase scb - Please read all the small print because you may not be able to print via Bluetooth.
Hope that helps some
Regards
Ian

Cannot Print to HP Network Printer

I'm trying to print from my MacBook to my HP LaserJet 4000N printer which is connected to a 2wire wireless router. I had no issues setting the printer up with my Windows computers using the HP Install Network Printer Wizard, but the wizard doesn't work with Mac OS. So I did a little digging and found the printer IP Address by printing out the Configuration Page, but inputting that IP Address into the add printer utility using LPD, IPP, or HP Jetdirect yields no results. I've also tried using the Gutenprint drivers for my printer with all combinations with no results. I never expected that adding a network printer for Macs would be more difficult than Windows! Anyone have any ideas or experience getting an HP Network printer to work?

Okay, that's unusual. Didn't think this model would use a proprietary language?
Anyway, I found a driver on the HP site for this model for OS X. Here's the link:
