Windows 7 Wireless Printing - printer attached to Mac

I have a Canon MP600 attached to an iMac running 10.6. Have a Windows 7 laptop that I want to share this printer. When wired to network, the Windows 7 laptop can use bonjour to connect and print fine. However, will not work when the laptop is wireless.
Notes:
1) Macs and WinXP laptops do not have any problems printing when wired or wireless
2) Can get Windows 7 laptop to print wireless if I set the port = IP address of iMac [issue is that I must either assign the iMac an address outside the DHCP range or risk that IP address changing]
3) problems happened with Bonjour 1.06 and the latest Bonjour 2.0
Any thoughts on why Windows 7 and Bonjour won't work wireless?

I two have this issue connecting Win XP Laptop to a Kodak ESP9 printer. The printer is hardwired to the network.
The Bonjour Printer Wizard finds nothing when the laptop is connected wireless but can find the printer when I connect hardwired.
I have been working with Kodak support for over a week on this issue so if any one has a solution it would be appreciated!!!

Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
"the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
and
"the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
Thank you

1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

Help setting up a Laserjet P1102w for wireless printing on a Mac

I'm trying to setup a Laserjet P1102w on my Mac for wireless printing, but it's not working. It will print fine using USB, but all the documentation for wireless setup is for Windows, not Mac. if I connect the printer via USB to my Mac, how will it get an IP address from my wireless network? Any help appreciated.

Hi Staxofjoy,
Based on the information you provided, and comparing to another post regarding this issue (link below) - It sounds like you are running 10.7 (Lion).
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Laserjet-P1102w-driver-for-Macbook-OS-X-Li...
Please go to the linked thread above, and look for the post by mikel1004 - he outlined the steps for connecting Adhoc to the printer very clearly.
Summary of what you will need to to:
1. Reset Printer to Defaults
2. Connect to printer via Adhoc from your Mac (This will disconnect you from your home wireless network)
3. Access HTML Config, and configure the printer's wireless settings manually from there.
4. Reconnect the Mac to the Home Network
5. Add the printer to the print queue.
Hope this helps

Wireless printing - problem with MAC integration

Hi everybody.
Just bought a Macbook pro and cannot get it to recognize my printer.
Devices within network:
- Belkin WLAN Router
- HP Laserjet CM1312 multifunctional printer - with HP 2101nw wireless G (printing and even scanning works fine wireless!)
- Acer Notebook with XP Home (used to set up the 2101 wireless)
- Acer Netbook with XP Home (added later to network, no problem with printing, setup took 5 min)
Antivirus software: Avira Premium Security Suite on both XP's
WPA-PSK encryption, no mac filtering.
The Macbook can access internet, but nothing happens when I try to print. I wanted to stop the hassle that Windows is causing occasionally. Frustrating experience with the Mac so far.
Can anybody help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have removed the printer, and added again - a couple of times. I was not sure what protocol to chose (LPD, IPP, Socket).
I took your advice and tried, but with the right click (ctrl pressed), nothing happens. The normal window for the print queue opens, and I cannot select anything like "Reset Printing System".
This does not work either, no Printer with "Bonjour" is offered for selection:
"Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer with Bonjour next to it, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it."
When I select the plus sign, I can only make settings in the "IP" area. Standard, Fax and Windows have nothing to select or to put in. "IP" offers Protocol to select and Address to fill in. I put in 192.168.2.6 and tried the different protocols. "Print with" offers generic PostScript printer, Generic PCL Laser printer, "other" and printer software - thats where I selected the driver for the cm1312
Can you tell what I did wrong? Thanks for trying

I cannot connect my Brother wireless printer to my MAC

I have a MAC iOS10.9 and I have a Brother wireless printer. When I go into printers and scanners, it does not recognize any printers. When I press the + sign to add a printer, a blank page appears with lines and I cannot write into it. The printer does recognize my wireless network, but my MAC does not recognize the printer. I have downloaded the Brother drivers, tried install the disc that came with the printer, but nothing works. My router is fine and current. I just changed internet providers yesterday and all my apple products work, but the printer is not working. It did work with my old wireless network. thank you

If I can print to a wireless printer from my Mac, wouldn't it seem like I could print from my iPad mi I and iPhone 5?

I cannot print from my iPhone5 nor my iPad mini, to a wireless HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m. I can print from my Mac book pro. Is it my settings or the printer that is not set up correctly?

First check to see if its airprint enabled, it will be listed in the first article link. If not, then there are other options listed below.

Wireless print server with Mac G4 and Dell PC's

I have a belkin wireless router and a linksys WPS54G print server. Hardwired by ethernet cables to the router are two computers 1) Dell 2400 and 2) Apple G4.
I am trying to get the Apple to print to the printserver. the linksys software set the Dell up and the print server and they work fine. I have tried everything i can on the Apple but no luck. Seems to be the driver. The printer is printing gibberish from the mac. The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R320. I dowmloaded the drivers for Mac OS 10.4.4... from the epson website - I chose each one for the printer on my MAC and tried to print. The result was either no print out or differing gibberish each time. What can I do?

Please search this forum. Your precise issue has been covered several times. You have to use a CUPS driver for network printing - Epson's drivers are Carbon, not CUPS. Start by updating the Gimp-Print drivers that Apple included in OS X to the next newer version, now called Gutenprint 5.0.0:

How do I set up for Wireless printing on a Mac

Hi Guys,
I have purchased the HP Laser jet P1102w recently. I took the printer on a location job and used it for the first time. It was quite a soimple process of connecting the printer and MAC automatically downloaded and installed the software.
As we were out of the office, we were not connected to the wireless network and therefore was not able to set up the printer on the netwrok.
Now that we are back in the office I want to set up the printer so that it can be used wirelessly by all the devices connected to the network.
I am unable to work out how to do this on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I removed the printer from the Print & Scan Utility and tried to install it again while connected to the network, however I am still only able to print while connected by USB.
I understand that I can print via the connected device on the network but would rather have it set up to do so wireless all together.
Please can you point me in the direction of finding the instructions to set this up?
All help is most appreciated.

Hi @EI2014 ,
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometimes the Embedded Web Server won't open in other browsers.
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Clear out any old network settings on the printer.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Mac.
Go to the Apple, system preferences, print and fax.
Double click on the P1102w.
Open the utility.
Click printer setup.
Click HTML config.
This should open the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Click the Networking tab.
Click Wireless from the list on the left.
Under Communication Mode , click Infrastructure.
Select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list and then click the << button so the network name moves over to other box.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication , click WEP, WPA/WPA2 or open . Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Make sure you select either hexadecimal or alpha depending on your password. (very important)
Apply the settings.
In the confirmation box (changes have been saved), click OK.
You should get a solid blue light on the printer shortly.
Then all we have to do is delete the USB driver and add the network driver.
Click on the Apple.
Click system preferences.
Click the print and fax icon.
Highlight the printer and click on the - sign to delete the printer. (USB driver)
Disconnect the USB cable.
Then click the + sign and select the printer from the list and click add. (p1102w bonjour)
Test the printer.
If you have any issues with the HTML config opening then do the following steps:
Close any applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, computer, MAC harddrive, Library, Printers, HP, LaserJet, click on folder for your printer, click on EWS browser or HTML config, click the Networking tab, click wireless on the left and fill out your information. (make sure infrastructure is selected) Apply settings.
Then delete the USB driver and add the network printer.
Test the printer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Wireless printing from main Mac not working

I've read through a few threads about wireless printing issues via the TC but I have a twist. My second Mac (Macbook 10.4.11) is able to print wirelessly through TC without a problem. I've selected the appropriate printer via System Preferences>>printers and selected "Share this printer".
My main Mac (MacBook Pro 10.5.3) which is being backed up on the TC, is not able to print wirelessly. I've also correctly selected the printer and clicked on "share this printer". The printer is an HP2410xi connected to the TC via USB.
The print jobs appear in the print queue and the printer status is "ready". When I select the stalled print job and select Resume I get the message "Opening printer connection" but nothing happens.
Thoughts?

If the printer worked on 10.5 when it was plugged directly into the macbook shouldn't the same driver also work when the printer is plugged into the time machine. I've unclicked printer sharing on both macs and it still doesn't work. I see that HP does not have an updated driver for 10.5 so I guess that I'll just plug the printer back into the macbook's USB. Grrrr.

Can't print from Windows PC to printer on I-Mac USB over wireless network

I am a brand new Mac user after years of Windows frustration.
Canon i9100 connected to I-Mac via USB. Prints OK from I-Mac. Print share enabled. Windows share enabled.
I-Mac on wireless LAN with static IP addresses for all devices.
Dell Windows XP on same wireless LAN.
Can ping I-Mac OK.
Added printer on Dell through Windows XP using I-Mac static IP address and I-Mac printer name - installed OK, but will not print.
After hours on Apple Support, found and downloaded Bonjour for Windows and installed on Dell. Ran Bonjour on Dell, installed printer OK, but still won't print from Dell.
Very frustrating and I haven't started on my VPN issues yet - thought Apple would be far simpler.

On Windows, after either method of setup, change the driver (on PC) to Apple Color LaserWriter. Apple print queues expect postscript as input.
If this is unsatisfactory, you can create a RAW queue on the Mac (only for sharing the printer, because it will have no driver associated):

Wireless printing from mixed Mac (10.6) and Windows 7 network

My wife's five-year-old iBook is on its last legs and her demands just don't justify dropping a grand on a Macbook, sadly. I'm looking at a $500 Wintel laptop running Windows 7 Home. Will she be able to print to the printers connected to the AX without upsetting my connection through a MBP?

Mac prints. PC does not. Bonjour Printer Wizard found the printer, so there's some communication between the two (although the printer never came on, but I assume the AX knows what it’s plugged into).
One odd thing is that, after installing the printer driver (downloaded from Brother), Bonjour Printer Wizard listed Brother as a printer manufacturer three times, only one of which shows the HL-2040.
The las time I tried printing from Windows the printer turned on, but did not print.

HP All-in-One 2355 Shared from Windows PC - Cannot print from any Mac

Hi all!
I have a HP All-in-One 2355 printer. It is installed correctly on my Mac, and when I try to use it connected by USB, works fine.
But the printer is all the time conected to a PC, where is installed to. The PC runs Windows XP, at is in the same Wireless network as my MacBook Pro. The printer is "shared" on this PC.
When I search the HP 2355 with my MacBook throught wireless, I can find it. I see it if I going to Preferences Settings, Printers, Windows, Workgroup... Then I can add the printer, but I can't select any driver to asign, because the driver for HP All-in-One 2350 series don't appear.
What can I do? I contacted with HP, but they tell me that they don't support sharing between Windows and Mac.
Please, Help me!
