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:

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.

DPR 1260 Wireless Print Server not recognized on Macbook Pro

Please help. I am a first time Mac user. I have a D-link wireless print server that is connected to a HP Office Jet 6200 all in one. For some reason I cannot set up the wireless print server. A couple questions: I enter the IP address when I set up a new printer. Still nothing. Do I need to select IP printing when setting up a new printer? Is D-link wireless printing supported by Leopard? When I plug in direct via USB - Mac prints no problem. Tech support really couldn't help - neither could D-link. Does anyone know step by step how to set up? Explain it to me like I'm 4 years old. Thanks.

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.

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.

How do i set up my wireless printer to work with my ipad 2

My ipad will not reconize my lexmark wireless printer what can I do

In UK BT generally use PPPoA authentication only so you will have to keep using the home hub as the main router. Put the Time Capsule.. TC.. in bridge mode. To do this go to the airport utility, on menu selection go to internet, and make sure it is set to ethernet for method of connection, and in connection sharing, select bridge. Then select update.. it will probably list some issues like password needing changing and access via wan etc .. almost all of which you can simply ignore.. as you are not using it in router mode.
The TC will save the setting and restart.. it will now exist as a wireless access point and switch on the network. The WAN is swapped to LAN, so there is no WAN port as such but it is still convenient to use WAN port marked <...> ethernet between home hub and the TC. Then setup wireless as you like. You can turn off the wireless in home hub, and just use the TC.. or use both, on different channels. That is no big problem. Set the security for the wireless is important and I would also manually set wireless channels and use different name for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless. But just start and learn what you need to as you go along. Getting the basics working should be fairly easy. Some of the more complex stuff you just need to read carefully the instructions..
And read this site.
Carefully and until your eyes bleed. Almost everything you want to know is there already.

Suggestions for all in one wireless printer to work with iMac

I am looking for a new all in one that will work with my iMac & Airport

About a month ago I got an HP Photosmart Premium c410 AIO (print, copy, scan, fax). I don't remember the price, but I think it was about $200. Wireless setup was easy and it works fine so far. I also use it in a Wi-Fi (Airport) network with a Windows 7 PC and 2 Win 7 laptops; the HP software for Windows is _much_ more user friendly, versatile and faster than the Mac s/w IMHO. The software for it on a 2011 27" Intel iMac running SL is more stripped down and slower to connect, but it works OK. I haven't upgraded the OS to Lion yet due to numerous complaints.
The only gripe is that like most current HP printers, it eats cartridges, even the XL ones. The ePrint function works fine with an iPad (version 1). Print quality is OK for my uses, i.e., letters, photos on plain paper and up to 8.5" X 11" good photo paper).
I also connect to a one-year old HP Photosmart c310 my daughter brought home from college for the summer - seems to be a pretty similar ePrinter, but without the fax capability. This works as well as the c410 near as I can tell. It probably cost about $120.

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.

Can't get Wireless Printer to work on Leopard

My wife bought an HP C4580 Wireless Printer the other day and within minutes I got it working on all the computers, Windows and Mac, in the house BUT, I have now installed Leopard on my MacBook Pro and then installed the Drivers for the Printer and now the Printer won't work, I get an Client Auth Error or something when I try to use it, any ideas?

There is a driver update, and, more importantly, a firmware update for this MFD at the HP site. <http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang =en&product=3418707>. I'd download and install the drivers and download and set up the firmware update and see if the problem goes away.

Re: Wireless printing stops working with Home Hub ...

I have had to fix a few clients home networks and was perturbed to find there is a pattern between the new home hubs and existing wireless printers.
I too found no logical reason why the connection would drop or go twilight zone. I searched after fixing a couple of these sites and found no conclusive methods from the more senior site members posting suggestions.
I agree that it is a bug with the HH firmware or a setting that you should be able to tweak is not available to band-aid over the underlying issue.
My working method was to manually set the channel in the router from the auto setting. Pinging and communications seem to flow both ways and the printers work straight away once the settings have been applied.
I would love to see a proper response from a BT representative as with some areas of the U.K there is only BT as an option (for broadband) and by ultimately having a HH router that behaves in this fashion is just poor. I think BT need to recognise the issue and investigate from some customers home networks to understand the issue.
Any update that sheds some light on this is welcome!

I have a HH1 with a mixture of hard wired and wireless connections. The hard wired ones all have static IP addresses, however I do not use the DHCP server on the home hub, as that is a function of one of my wireless access points.
My printer is connected by USB to my server, but I never have any issues communication between wireless devices, and Ethernet connected ones.
Did you delete the printer from the home hub DHCP table, before giving it a static IP address, to avoid any conflict?
Maybe its an issue with the HH5? You will have to see if anyone else is having problems.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Can you print on an iPad mini using the same wireless printer that works with my iPhone5 or do you have to a specifically AirPrint capable printer?

Printing on iPad mini compared to iphone5

If you are printing from an iPhone the printer most likely already AirPrint capable. So it should work directly.
Alternatively, if you are using an App on your iPhone to print to it. You should be able to use the same App on your iPad.

Printer not working with Leopard and Airport Express

Hello!
I have seen that this is a common problem but I've tried several solutions that seemed to work for others but still not for me.
I have a Macbook Pro unibody and airport express with OS X 10.5.6. I used a Samsung CLP-300 wirelessly though my airport express (with Tiger on my older macbook). The printer works fine when it is plugged into my USB on the Macbook but not on the airport.
Here is what I've tried in the past 8 months:
- update the Samsung printer driver
- used "fixairport"
- configured HP IP with airport local address
- spent 2 hours on the phone with apple
None of this seemed to work. The printer will print the first page and then any subsequent pages it gives me an error host message.
If anyone can give me an idea of what did work for them in this situation, or maybe I'm doing something wrong, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.

kelscan, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to reconfigure your AirPort Express (AX) so that it joins the wireless network provided by the "modem". Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

What multifunction printer DOES work with Leopard that is still being sold

So I have to wait till MARCH for Lexmark to release a driver for this now, boat anchor X9350
So what does work out there? Print, Fax, Scan multi function.
HELP!!

My Brother MFC-7820N works correctly in all aspects. They released a new TWAIN driver on the 25th, but the old one worked too. As a bonus it has Ethernet builtin and can be seen using Bonjour under Leopard. I didn't know it supported Bonjour because it never showed up under Tiger. Now my other home users can print to it while my Mac sleeps. It is also a cost effective MFC.
I have a separate forum entry about the printer icon popping up in the Dock and staying after the job completes, but that only seem to affect my two other PPC Macs. It can be closed manually. Not a huge issue, but a bit annoying. It didn't have this problem under Tiger and suspect it will be fixed soon.

Using a wireless print server... help!

Hi. I have a G5 on a wireless network using a LinkSys WRT-54G router. I just got a wireless print server (D-Link DPR-1260) and want to network my HP 6110xi All-in-one printer. 6110 drivers are installed, and printer previously worked fine when connected directly to computer via USB port.
Now, I want to share it over the wireless network. I believe I have the print server correctly configured... just not sure how to configure my G5 to print across the network to this printer. How do I set it up?
Particulars:
- LinkSys WRT-54G, 802.11g wireless router, firmware v4.20.7 (192.168.0.1)
- D-Link DPR-1260, wireless print server, firmware v1.00 (192.168.0.10, static)
- HP 6110xi All in One, latest drivers from HP downloaded and installed.
- iMac G5, (192.168.0.100, dynamic IP)
Thanks for any help provided. Regards.

Hi JD77!
And Welcome to Apple Discussions
You have 2 computers respectively connected each to a printer.
DSL Modem (ethernet)
||
PC1 = Printer1 (USB) (Win)
PC2 =Printer2 (USB) (iMac)
PC3 WIFI WinXP laptop
The iMac has built-in Bonjour technology. So use that. If your windows PC has XP you can download Bonjour for that one as well and use that to share your printer.
What you can do is use the Airport Express and connect it to a USB printer. Make sure that it is compatible printer.
Here are some articles you can read:
AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode
Windows printer for AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3
AirPort Express (FAQ)
Hope this helps

Can't connect wireless print server

I've been pulling my hair out trying to configure a D Link DPR-1260 wireless print server to work with a D Link wireless router on my system. I know I probably should have used Airport devices but then again I've always had trouble getting those things to talk to each other, too. Must be bad wifi karma or something. I've posted at the D Link site as well but they don't have many Mac users who can help with the setup. Anyone got a tip?

Hi Bennyk-
What is the specific problem?

Wireless Print Server (DPR-1260) - Manually Configure Printer Port

I am trying to get my DPR-1260 Wireless Print Server (PS) installed, and need help with manually configuring the printer port (per Dlink).
Status:
A) Before trying to install the PS, I was able to easily install (2) USB printers, see them, and print to them.
B) My new IMAC is hardwired to the router.
*Recent Actions:*
1) I've worked with Dlink and have verified that my network (my new IMAC, and my wife's wireless laptop (OS 10.39) see the PS (hooked directly to the router). It's IP address is 192.168.0.102 .
2) I hooked both printers to the PS, and the address sees both printers as installed, and provide with LPR information (both printers are now hooked to the PS). Dlink does not guarantee printer compatibility, but says that since the site sees the printers, gives me LPRs, that the probability is good that they will be compatiable.
3) My new IMAC sees this address in both OS and in XP (thru VM Fusion). My laptop (10.3x) also sees this address. However, I'm not able to install this printer.
4) Per Dlink, I need to manually configure the printer port to install the PS.
5) Dlink kept sending me to the Print Utility, but from what I see, that does not exist in 10.5.
How do I manually configure the printer port to see the PS?
Now, I am stuck, and help?
Many thanks

As DLink have said, you will have to manually configure a LPR queue to connect to your printers. The print utility in 10.5 is the Print & Fax util in System Preferences. Open this and choose to Add . Select IP and then LPR. Enter the ip address of the PS. Then you will need a queue name for the respective USB ports, such as P1 and P2, or something similar. Hopefully the DLink info mentions this so that you can print to the desired printer.
The final bit of info you will need to know is whether the printer driver for each printer will work in this type of network. If either of them is a Canon then there is a good chance you will not be able to use supplied drivers. These types of connections require a third party driver, like Gutenprint, which is usually installed by default. If you are not sure, then please tell us which brands and models of printer you have.
