Will a D-Link DP-301P+ print server work with an HPLaserJet 5MP

Setup includes the following:
HP LaserJet 5MP (90's model and this thing is a true workhorse!)
Apple Airport Extreme wireless router
Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 (OSX.4.11)
iMac (OSX.6)
Mac Mini (OSX.6)
I purchased a D-Link DP-301P+ Fast Ethernet Print Server, with the intent to plug it into the printer's parallel port (36 pin) and then plugging an ethernet cable between the server and the wireless router.  The only catch is that in order to plug the server into the printer, I will have to dremel out a small portion of the exterior casing of the printer (this is on the back side so it won't be noticeable).  Thus my two questions......will this setup even work?  Are there any special software settings needed?  Thanks for helping out with this.

  • Will D-Link DPR-1260 wireless print server work with Leopard?

    I am fairly new to Mac and have a HP Photosmart 7350 printer and would like to use this wirelessly with my new Imac with Leopard as well as my laptop with Windows XP.
    I know it will work with Windows but keep reading that print servers are not working well with Leopard and do not want to open the box if it will not work. I noticed on the D-link website that it says software is only supported on 10.2-10.4 systems.

    You have two issues going at once.
    Driver - There are two kinds of print driver on OS X (not like Windows) - Carbon and CUPS. CUPS drivers are required to use the standard network print protocols provided in OS X by the CUPS system - IP printing and Windows printing. But HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for non-postscript printers. They provide Carbon drivers where they have limited the driver to USB only. To get a CUPS driver for your model, install the 3 part hpijs:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    Print & Fax prefs setup -
    I call your attention to page 19 of the print server manual. Dlink simply has "no clue" about OS X. The easiest comm protocol for you is HP Jetdirect, which equals TCP/IP raw port 9100. That is for USB port 1 -- for the other USB ports you will need to use advanced setup in Print & Fax.
    So, plug the printer into USB port 1 and set up using IP printer > HP Jetdirect protocol, selecting your new hpijs driver.
    Good luck.

  • Has anyone got a belkin f1up0002uk print server working with OS X 10.4.10

    I've got an HP all-in-one printer and want to share it wirelessly with my Macs and PCs. I've got a netgear wireless router/access point. I've just bought a belkin print server (model # f1up0002uk) but this appears to be windows only compatible.
    Before opening the belkin box I did a search on the internet - I couldn't find anything specific on this model of router working with a Mac.... however, from my research I get the feeling it should be possible to get it working on a Mac through IP printing.
    Has anyone used this print server with a Mac and got it working? Failing that, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    VP

    Greg,
    Thanks for your response. It turns out that my original fears were unfounded.
    Installing the print server was very straight foward and after getting it working on one of my XP boxes I was able to install it on my MacBook using *Print & Fax* ---> *IP Printer* ---> Protocol ---> _Line Printer Daemon - LPD_ ---> Address ---> _Belkin Print Server IP Address_.
    I checked to see if OS X provided a driver for my all-in-one printer (HP PSC 2175) and the following page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057 said there was one but it wasn't available in my printer pull down list. Further research through HP revealed that other drivers could be used and fortunately there were Gimp-Print 5.0.0 beta 2's available so I used the HP 500C driver.
    I also had to reserve the IP address of the print server on my wireless (Netgear) router but I left DHCP on for the rest of my devices.
    The end result is that the Belkin Print Server now works across my mixed Mac and PC network. Unfortunately I'm not able to use the scanner through my Macs but this isn't an issue as my priority was to share printing. I should also mention that the Belkin manual also includes instructions for Unix/Linux and OS X, although this is not stated on the box.

  • D-link DPR 1260 Print Server nightmare

    I have a D-link DPR 1260 print server connected via ethernet to my network. I have set it up so I can print to an Epson Picturemate240 from a PC running XP. This works fine.
    I have read all the posts everywhere on the DPR 1260 and so far nothing can make it print from the imac, running Leopard. I can add the printer using LPD and the print servers ip address and printer queue name but nothing happens.
    I get the following error /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.1 failed, does this mean there is a problem with the mac before to gets to the print server?
    If I cannot solve this problem now it is going in the bin!
    I have not attempted to set it up wirelessly yet as there is no point unless I can print from a Mac.

    Thanks for the info Greg
    I reset the printing system but I still get the same error message. I tried using HP and LPD but still no luck.
    If I connect the printer directly to the mac I can print fine and I have two other network printers connected directly to the network which work fine. It is only when I connect a printer to the print server that it goes wrong.
    any other ideas?

  • Hook 10.3.9 up to d-Link DPR-1260 Print Server?

    I have added a d-Link DRP-1260 Print server to my home LAN so I could print to my HP 5550 from my Windows laptops and my desk-top Mac. Lap tops work fine, but I don't seem to set the Mac up correctly to communicate with the Print Server.
    Anyone know the magic trick or where I might find it?
    Thanks, Ron

    Joe, I've now downloaded and installed the drivers you pointed out and I have a driver for my HP 5550 now installed so I can select it when I add a printer. But I still can't print through my print server. It seems like I am very close to success, but not quite there.
    Unfortunately, all this is "cookbook" to me as I don't actually understand how it is supposed to work. For instance, how does my d-link DWL-122 USB Adapter know to transmit printer info to my print router rather than to my LAN router? or, how do I find out my print server queue name?
    To me, it's all magic. Do you have any further advice for me? Is there a "Hooking your print server to your Mac, for dummy's" book?
    Am I just on a bad path here and should be using some other technique to get connected?
    Thanks, Ron

  • Getting an "uncaught exception" error when trying to Scan a document via D-Link DPR-1260 print sever (worked in prior versions of Firefox)

    I'm using the interface (Firmware V1.24) on a D-Link DPR-1260 Print Server, connected to an Epson Printer/Scanner. When I hit the "Scan" button, I get an "uncaught exception" error. This firmware has been working for years (at least back to Firefox 3.x), but no longer works with Firefox V6.0

    Nothing really, but... The firmware runs in a web browser. It's been working fine for years and no longer works since I got the latest version of Firefox. It does, however, still work in IE (V9) so I do have a way to use my existing hardware.
    I tried D-Link and Google search for any information about this, but came up empty. I was hoping that there might be similar problems with other software with Firefox 6.0.2 and someone might have a work-around or there might be a patch coming soon. At the very least, someone associated with Firefox might be interested that they've apparently broken something that used to work.

  • Cannot get printer to work with iMac

    I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
    All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
    sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
    Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!

    It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    is the printer/scanner listing from Apple.
    Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
    If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:
    Epson, alternate Australian site may have more up-to-date drivers for Epson, Epson RIP and colormatching drivers from iProof Systems, Guten-Print (formerly known as Gimp-print), and Printfab. http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

  • HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

  • My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC??

    My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

    I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system.  Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should.  Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should.  The document below will expalin more about doing this.
    Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
    If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver.  By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using.  If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself.  To do this, access Print and Scan.  Click the + sign to add a new printer.  Select the printer from the list.  Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver.  Let me know what happens.

  • I would like to buy a HP printer that works with Windows 8 preview.

    Understand that HP will not release drivers for existing printers until August at earliest and that is OK....I have 3 HP Laserjet 1020s that have been great and will buy a new HP printer if it will work now with Windows 8 preview.  Any suggestions or any fixes/patches for 1020 that work.  Also interested in any non-HP printers that work with Windows 8 preview?  Prefer HP but will buy first printer that works from any mfg. as I would like to give Windows 8 a real try.   Believe HP is missing boat by not putting a patch out for some of their printers as soon as possible as I am not the only HP user looking to buy any printer that works with Windows 8.

  • Can I get my HP F4500 wireless printer to work with my Ipad?

    Can I get my HP F4500 Wireless Printer to work with my Ipad....It is an IOS 4.3.2

    Philip-
    I don't see a 4500 HP printer on the list of AirPrint printers, so you will most likely need an alternate way to print to it.
    One way is to use an iPad App such as Print n Share.  It has its own browser, mail, photo and text programs that can print to some non-AirPrint printers.  I don't know if it can print from within other iPad Apps.
    Another way is to use a computer to share the printer as AirPrint over WiFi, using a program like Printopia for the Macintosh.  For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator.
    I recommend you try the free iPad App, HP iPrint Photo.

  • Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
    CS5 is history and it is not longer supported.  There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
    You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..
