Windows XP won't print to Mac Tiger w/Epson R200

I have Windows XP successfully networked through a router to a Mac OS X 10.4.6 with an Epson R200. I've successfully assigned the Printer to the Windows XP.
I followed these instructions
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html
The XP DOES send the job to the Mac. It shows up in the Printer Jobs on the Mac but the job is Stopped.
I've tried using an installed Epson R200. I also tried using the Apple Color LaserWriter as per the above instructions.
Any Help?

Bump
No one else has ever had this problem or has an example of a working solution?

Deskjet D1560 Windows Network Won't Print on Mac

I have a Deskjet D1560 connected to my HP desktop computer. I am able to print just fine from there. I have shared it and am able to send jobs to the printer from the mac, but they say spooling, then printing, yet nothing prints. The printer makes noises like it is getting ready to print, then never does. I have already tried resetting the print spooler, turning the printer on an off again, and deleting and readding the printer on the mac, to no avail. In the hp printer utility on the mac, the printer is there, but red, and I can't access it.

My canon 5320 has ink but won't print on mac os 10.7.5

my canon 5320 has ink but won't print on mac os 10.7.5

Hi olschoolmike_1,
To try and resolve the issue, you will want to confirm that the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly by printing a nozzle check pattern from the printer. If the pattern does not print correctly, we recommend performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer to try and get the ink to print.. To print the nozzle check pattern and perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located here. If you still experience difficulty after performing the cleanings, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

New Windows laptop fails to print to Mac-shared printer

I prevoiusly had a shared HP DeskJet 5900 shared from my PowerBook G4 to a Toshiba Windows laptop via Bonjour. The printer was set up as a generic Postscript printer and printing worked fine.
I replaced the PowerBook with a MBP C2D and the Windows laptop with a Sony Vaio, and this same printing arrangement no longer works. Setting up the printer in Windows goes fine. The Bonjour printer setup assistant finds the shared printer just fine, and set-up appears to succeed, but printing from any Windows app fails with the error message, “Printing failed because an error occurred.”
What am I doing wrong?

…On the VAIO, are you still creating the
printer as a Generic PS? I've seen problems when you
add the Windows driver for the printer instead of
setting it to PS (the Mac does the conversion so it
is recommended to leave it set this way).
Yes, it’s Standard/Generic Postscript, although I also tried setting it up with the appropriate printer-specific Windows driver with the same result.
It might be worth checking Console in the MBP to see
if there is a better explanation as to what is going
wrong. The cups error log may be helpful (providing
the spool file is getting to the MBP).
Good idea. Unfortunately nothing shows up on Console. I suspect the connection is failing entirely on the Windows end.
However, the connection does work on the file-sharing level. In a Windows Explorer window, I can successfully browse \\[Mac name]\ and see the printers as well as shared files

Laserjet P1006, Windows 7, won't print readable maps (poor greyscale - halftones)

Laserjet P1006, Windows 7 64 bit,
won't print readable maps (poor greyscale - halftones)
The HP website shows a "density" slider control in the print driver, but the driver that they have for download doesn't have this control. I did set the driver to RET1600 but that made little improvement.
Tips to correct this flaw greatly appreciated!
AHI

2nd Request
I set this printer up with a Windows XP computer, and the printer works fine with the XP driver. The problem is with the WIndows 7 driver - the print density is too low to print maps in a readable fashion.
Can anyone please help with printing greyscale (maps in this case) in the HP Laserjet P1006 with Windows 7 ???

Hi Velcro,
Seeing as this is a forum community, we try to get to posts as soon as we can and I will try to help you out.
You've mentioned a few issues with the printer, so let's see if we can figure out what's wrong with it. Right now it could be either hardware or software, so let's troubleshoot the actual printer first
Please print a test page, and let me know if any black or color blocks come out?
Load unused, plain white, U.S. letter or A4 sized paper in the tray.
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
Press the Setup button ( ).
Press the right arrow button ( ) to select Print Report , and then press OK .
Press the right arrow button ( ) to select Self-Test Report , and then press OK . The self-test report prints.

HP Deskjet 600C with USB adapter & Windows 7 won't print

Windows 7 recognizes the printer, and says it is OK. It installed the driver. Test Page failed. Printing a simple text document failed. Any suggestions?

What happens when you try to print - do jobs stay in the queue? If not does the printer go through the motions of printing but fail to put ink on the page? If so then try printing a test page from the printer as shown here. If that fails then the issue is the printer or the print cartridge. In that case I would suggest running the cleaning cycle as shown at the link above.

Printing 4X6 Borderless Photos on Epson R200

For some reason, I am unable to print a borderless 4X6 photograph using my Epson R200 printer. All other photos print without any trouble, just not the borderless prints ... anyone have any suggestions?

I was having problems with an Epson Stylus Photo 890 after buying the 4x6 instead of the perforated 4x6 paper and received the following response from Epson tech support.
Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
For borderless printing in OS X.3 please follow the steps below to download
and install:
1) Open your PRINT SETUP UTILITY (you can open this by opening your HARD
DRIVE, APPLICATIONS, UTILITY, PRINTER SETUP UTILITY). Make sure your
printer is powered on at this point.
2) If your printer is listed, simply highlight it and click DELETE. Once
the printer has been removed from the Print Center, click the ADD button.
If your printer is not listed, click the ADD button.
3) In the window that appears, select EPSON USB from the drop-down menu,
and then select your printer. Once your printer has been selected, click on
the name to highlight it.
4) Once the printer is highlighted, a Page setup will appear at the bottom
of the print center window. Simply click the drop-down menu and select ALL.
**PLEASE NOTE: ALL MUST BE SELECTED FOR BORDERLESS PRINTING SUPPORT. **
Then click ADD.
5) You will now see several listings in the Printer list for the printer.
Highlight the appropriate printer for your printing. For example, Stylus
Photo 900(Roll paper) or Stylus Photo 900(Sheet Feeder-Borderless)
depending on what type of media you are selecting. Then click MAKE DEFAULT
on the toolbar or click PRINTERS on the menu and click MAKE DEFAULT. Close
the Print Center.
6) Please ensure you have the correct paper size selected in the printer
driver under PAGE SETUP and that the correct printer option is selected in
the menu listed under FORMAT FOR(these two must be the same, if the Sheet
Feeder-Borderless is the default printer, if must be the same in this
Format for option) and try printing.
If you require further assistance with this particular issue, please ensure
all of our previous correspondence is contained in your reply, so we can
better track the history of this issue.
If you have a different technical support issue, please submit another
E-form via our website (http://www.epson.com), and we will respond in a
timely manner. Thank you again for contacting Epson.

Windows 7 won't print pdf to network printer connected to Mac

Hi,
I have a printer connected to my Mac and have shared the printer on my home network. I can print documents from a Windows 7 computer on my network but when I try to print a pdf from adobe reader it will not print, or ever go to the print queue.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
[OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

Hp cp1160 deskjet printer won't print from Mac OS 9

Hello,
I am running OS 9.2.2 on my Mac and I can't seem to print to my HP CP1160 inkjet printer.
It is connected using USB. My other USB devices work fine. In fact in the Apple System profiler, I can see the CP1160 printer listed as being connected and it also appears in the chooser. So it appears to be OK. Unfortunately however, it does not print.
I am using the correct driver for OS9. It is called: "hp deskjet v5.4" installed by the "OS 8-9.x-Classic installer".
Now when I go to print it does not print and the file sent to the printer appears in the print spool window for just a few seconds and then disappears.
Then this error message appears:
document "nameofdocument" failed to print on the printer "cp1160" because of an error. -28
followed by the choices: cancel job, hold job or try again
And when using the test feature of the hp inkjet utility this error message appears:
"There was a communication error, make sure the printer is connected and turned on."
Why will it not print?
What should be my next troubleshooting step?
Thank you for any suggestions,
PS It is interesting to note that this printer works fine in OS10.1 on the same computer and it also works with OS 10.4 on another computer. The computer that has this print problem has both OS 10.1 and OS 9 on it. It prints fine from OS 10.1 but not from 9. I installed the appropriate driver for OS 10.1 and it works fine and I installed the appropriate driver for OS9 and it is this OS9 driver that does not seem to want to enable the printer to print. Thank you for any suggestions.
Specs:
Computer model: 233 MHz G3 beige with ratoc USB/firewire card.
OS: 9.2.2.

I tried all of these suggestions but none were successful. I suppose my third party card (Ratoc USB/Firewire card) is just not compatible with my printer. Thats too bad. I guess the only way I can print with this printer is to boot up in OSX. That works. I wish I could print from OS9 too however. Thanks again Kenichi for your good suggestions It was a good try.
For the record, here were the extensions I disabled (and re-booted after disabling each one at a time):
Desktop Printer Spooler
Desktop Print Monitor
Print Monitor
Printing Lib
Printer Share
USB Printer Sharing
Desktop Printer Menu
color SW 1500
color SW 2500
color SW Pro
CSW 6000 series
Imagewriter
Laserwriter 300/LS
Laserwriter 8
therefore these extensions do not conflict with my cp1160 - it must be something else - perhaps my third party USB card (Ratoc USB/Firewire card).

Printing attached to windows workstation - can't print from mac

Here is my setup:
I am trying to print to a Canon MF6500 printer attached via USB to a Windows XP Pro computer in a Windows 2003 SBS environment. I enabled Unix printing, set the printer up for sharing and installed the Mac driver on my computer. I went to "add printer," then "windows printing" and found the workstation with the target printer, however nothing was available to select.
I then added the printer to the server hoping that I could just share it from the server, but I got the same result - no printers to add.
So as a last ditch effort, I installed the 3rd party App DAVE. I opened the "Dave Printers List" and it actually found the printer, but I could not find the driver now. The Canon driver is in the list of drivers (as I can see it when searching for Bonjour/appletalk printers), but not there when searching for other printers. So I can add the printer, but I can only use a generic print driver.
Anyway, here is my question: How do I add the printer without using DAVE (if possible) with it's correct driver? If not possible, how do I add the printer using the correct driver with DAVE? Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks

have you resolved your problem? Please forward me any tips that you may have received.
I have a new iMac with OS X V 10.4.10 - all software is up to date.
I have a HP OJ 7680 linked into my airport network through Bonjur. When I try to print, Word (and all other applications) tell me to select a printer, I select the HP OJ 7680 (designated as a Bonjur printer) and my iMac instantly tries to install the printer. After about 5 - 10 minutes the install fails.
Where can I get help on this? Doesn't apple offer any on-line or phone customer service?

IMac won't launch in mac, stuck in Windows, iMac won't launch in mac, stuck in Windows

I installed BootCamp last year and have been running OSX and W7 happily for all that time.
Just recently, I've had some problems when booting up my computer, it sometimes won't bring up the statup menu and just launches itself straight into Windows.
Now this has got worse. It won't open Mac at all and always launches straight into Windows. I've tried holding ths shift key rather than option key to start some disk repair but nada... I've also checked all USB sockets and a new keyboard to see if that was the problem but again, nothing. It's definitely not the keyboard or USB ports.
Also, just around the time this started happening ti started kicking itself out of sleep mode. If I put it into sleep mode a few seconds later it will start up again. Basically I can never turn it off, or sleep it. And now I can't even turn it on.
And it went out of warranty two weeks ago

Thanks.
I don't have the disc on me (moving 3 times in 6 months means my stuff is scattered all over the place) but I guess putting that in and running the diagnostic checks on it might revive it?
Gutted because it went out of warranty so little time ago. I guess if the hard drive is dead then it's just a big lump of metal. Even worse that I'm a computing student, and a degree in computing without a computer is going to be tough!
