Wireless Print Server Installation Issue - HP 2101nw

I have been using the 2101nw for the past year with my HP printer and Qwest DSL (Actiontec Wireless modem / router) without any issues. Well I made the switch over to Comcast so I needed to use a new wireless router (the Linksys WRT54G). For some reason I wasn't able to get the 2101nw to work, it just wouldn't connect to my computer. So I decided to uninstall the software and reinstall it. Well that isn't working very well. Everything loads up fine while the print server is connected to my computer. The instructions then tell me to discount the cable from my computer and plug in the printer, nothing happens at all after that. No connection and the software therefore won't complete the installation. I've spent two days trying to figure out what to do, since the guide really doesn't offer any help.  Any suggestions or recommendations?

  • Wireless Print Server Setup Issue

    I have tried to set my MacBook Pro utilizing my D-Link DPR-1260 print server. I get the following warning when I try to use the setup wizard:
    Unsupported Operating System. The Printer Setup Wizard supports only Windows XP/2000/98/ME operating systems. Your computer uses the MacIntel operating system.
    Troubleshooting Tips - Refer to the documentation that came with your print server for printer setup instructions specific to your operating system.
    I have read and reread the printer manual and nowhere does it say anything about Mac setups. I have sent two e-mails to D-link and both have been ignored. The Mac recognizes the HP printer and will print if attached to it. When I attach the printer to the print server it will work wireless when I use a Windows based laptop and I really don't want to load Windows if I can get away with it. I have a D-Link wireless router and it works perfectly with the Mac.  I found a thread dated late 2007 but the instruction gif's the person attached expired so I can't see the details that made it work with the older version of OS X.
    Any ideas so I don't have to purchase another printer server specifically for Mac???

    You need two things -
    First, the HP-provided driver (on OS X) was written to only support direct USB printing, so you need a CUPS driver. Check here to find that and install it:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    (click on "printers" in the blue bar and look up your printer.)
    Next, you need to read your print server manual and figure out what comm protocols are supported and then enter the right info into the Add printer dialog. For example, the print server's queue name (also called port name) is a required entry (not default) for the IP > LPD and IPP protocols. If the print server supports TCP/IP raw or port 9100 or socket printing, those terms are all equal to the IP > HP Jetdirect protocol on OS X. That protocol doesn't need a queue name, so it's usually easier for Mac users. I think L1 or P1 are typical queue names on Linksys servers.
    If you need more help, I need to know the print server model #.

  • HP Wireless Print Server 2101nw

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and the wireless print server, HP 2101nw, no longer functions. I attempted without success to download and install and updated driver. I primarily use HP P1006 and on occasion HP PSC 1400.
    The wireless print server detects the printer, however, it will not connect and a red "X" appears net to the icon. I did note a message indicating an error with HPVUSBFamily.kext during the last install of the printer server software.
    Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks,

    What does HP say? Apparently, you need to resolve the server software installation issue.

  • Issues with Deskjet 5650 and Linksys wireless print server.

    I have a iMac DP 1.8, a iMac G3 700 mhz running Tiger and a Toshiba laptop running XP and I am on a wireless network. I use a Linksys WRT54G router for the wireless and I am using a Linksys WPS54G wireless printserver to connect an HP Deskjet 5650 to the network. This was all working fine for the past 2 months until Monday evening when the Mac's lost connection to the printer. However the Toshiba can print to it just fine.
    I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened. The iMac DP recently had a security update for intel installed this past Monday, but no updates have been installed on the G3 iMac. I have contacted Apple, HP and Linksys and they have been no help at all. Apple says it's a Linksys issue, Linksys says it's Apple issue and HP is just cluless. I would appreciate any assistance offered.
    Thanks

    Paul, I am amazed you were ever able to print via the Linksys wireless server on your mac. I have the identical router and print server, and only the Windows PC's on my wireless network have been able to share the printer on that wireless server. I've been unable to find a driver for my iMac, and could never get the iMac to find the server. Finally gave up and bought an HP 2600n color laser and connected it directly to the iMac via USB. You're right about lack of help from Linksys. There is an Apple folder under "unsupported" on the print server installation CD, but there's nothing helpful in there.

  • 2101nw wireless print server

    When I use this print sever on my laptop nearly everytime I log on it crashes to a blue screen unfortunately it does not stay in this state long enough to get the error code.
    If I uninstall the server I get rid of this issue. I have tried using thelatest drivers but still get this issue. 
    I have no problems with using the server or printer apart from this. 
    Laptop is a Vaio with Windows Vista OS
    I have installed it on my old desktop with an XP OS with no issues.
    Anyone got any ideas 

    Hi,
    I have used this print server no problem since late June 09 then it refused to connect to my wireless network today.
    At noon, I checked the device status from my laptop and saw that there was one bar signal. I moved the print server closer to the wireless router but there was no improvement. At that time, I checked the router and it showed the device still connected to it. I could ping it from the router but I was unable to "connect" my laptop to it to print. After an hour or so it no longer connected to the router. I am pretty sure that I saw it dying.
    I decided to uninstall the software then reinstall it. When performing the re-installation, the software could detect my wireless network, but it failed to connect the print server to it. Manually entering the IP address, subnetmask, etc... does not help. I tried the reinstall on my wireless laptop and my wired desktop. In both case the software, via the print server I believe, showed the wireless networks in range and the signals strengths.
    I also notice that the wireless signal it detected was unstable, weak and strong at times, while in fact I checked all my other wireless laptops and devices (Blackberry, Epson wireless printer) receive excellent signal. This means THIS device reception is UNSTABLE and this might cause failure to connection.
    I have not changed anything of my network since the successful setup. The device just simply stopped recognizing the network.
    BTW, I use an IBM X61 laptop. It has no problem last two years until yesterday I got several blue screen of death. I notice this symptom disappeared since I removed the wireless print server software.
    I searched the support/faqs but I found no answer to this problem other than "checking the power" suggestion. I have not contacted HP yet. I hope HP can look into this matter an give some practical advice rather than asking me to check the power supplies of the device and the router.

  • HP PSC 1315, Brother HL-2040 & D-Link DPG321 wireless print server

    Hi all...I've had the D-Link wireless print server for awhile, and originally had an ancient Samsung attached to it.
    Now though, the old Samsung printer is gone and I'm using the print server in my office with my new Brother HL-2040, which connected to my Mac effortlessly...super easy.
    The problem comes in hooking up my HP PSC 1315 AIO to the wireless print server's second port. I've read a ton of postings in the last couple of days indicating the HP driver won't support this, so I downloaded the hpijs driver.
    The Brother printer is hooked up to queue 1 (ps-5c714d-u1) per our documentation, and I'm trying to get the HP hooked up to queue 2 (ps-5c714d-u2), but absolutely nothing will print to it. One note - I'm not getting any error messages. When I pull up the printer to view the jobs, it looks like it's completed printing, so I'm not sure if it's stuck somewhere in the print server or what.
    The HP works fine when connected directly via USB to my MacBook Pro - so the issue isn't with the printer itself or the cabling.
    We CAN however, manage to print to the HP from our Windows XP desktop in the other room, interestingly enough.
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    No, I didn't. Originally when I was doing all my research, I thought I only had to download that if I had Mac OS 10.2 or below...in retrospect now I'm not sure why I thought that.
    I've now downloaded the file though, and have no idea what to do with it. In reading all of the installation info, I'm thinking it might just be easier to walk over to the printer and plug it into the USB port of my MacBook when I need to use it!
    Thanks for the suggestion...not sure I have the constitution to keep fighting the good fight on this.

  • 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,

  • How to set up standalone wireless print server

    I need step-by-step instructions on to set up a KonicaMinolta bizhub multifunction printer to print wirelessly from various Macs. In other words, it would not be hooked up to the internet or my wireless network. I understand this can be done with an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme. I tried it with a Linksys WPSM54G wireless print server without success. I'd like to try the AirPort Express, but so far haven't been able to get it to work.
    How do I configure my AExp to operate as a print server? How should I have it connected when I do the configuration?
    How do I find the print server's IP address?
    When I plug in the AExp and connect it to the printer via USB, the AExp flashes amber and never turns green (and therefore never connects with the MacBook).
    If I successfully set up the print server as a separate network, can I be connected to the printer and my wireless network at the same time? Or do I need to switch back and forth?
    If I'm accessing the internet via Ethernet, can I simultaneously access the printer via AirPort?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    How do I configure my AExp to operate as a print server?
    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) can only operate as a "print" server if the printer is attached to its USB port. Ethernet printers would require their own print server service if connected by Ethernet to either router.
    How should I have it connected when I do the configuration?
    Neither router would need a WAN port connection as both can provide a stand-alone wireless network. For a USB printer, it would need to be connected to the respective router's USB port.
    How do I find the print server's IP address?
    This would be the AirPort's LAN IP address. The default is: 10.0.1.1
    When I plug in the AExp and connect it to the printer via USB, the AExp flashes amber and never turns green (and therefore never connects with the MacBook).
    The flashing amber indicates that the AX has configuration issue. If you temporarily connect your MacBook directly to the AX's Ethernet port, and then, run the AirPort Utility, you can find out what the issue(s) is(are).
    If I successfully set up the print server as a separate network, can I be connected to the printer and my wireless network at the same time? Or do I need to switch back and forth?
    No, you would have to switch wireless networks. One way around this, is to have the AX configured to "Join a wireless network." This mode was specifically designed to allow the AX to perform as a wireless client and simultaneously provide both print sharing and iTunes streaming to network clients.
    If I'm accessing the internet via Ethernet, can I simultaneously access the printer via AirPort?
    Potentially, but your computer and the printer will be on separate broadcast domains/subnets.

  • Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

    I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
    Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
    I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
    Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
    Thank You,
    mholmau

    Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
    For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
    But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
    Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
    There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
    Hope this helps.

  • Printing on a Wireless Network through a Wireless Print Server Resolved

    Ok,
    I have been working on this all day and no one at apple could help me.
    I have a linksys router with a dlink print server hooked up to it.
    my macbook would not recognize the printer. if I added it manually it wouldnt print. so I was trying to find a solution myself. I was thinking if the Printer Queue Name was the issue. It was, that must be correctly entered for the printer to work. Now my Leopard will print.
    Hope this helps someone.
    Nick

    This will not be specifically helpful, but it MAY help you get started.
    I had the same problem too, when initially setting up wireless printing for my Mac Pro.
    I ended up specifying the IP address of the wireless printer server and to identify the print q name, I printed out a status sheet from the printer.
    Hope that helps.

  • Wireless Print Server compatibility for HP LaserJet P1005

  • Mac and Linksys Wireless Print Server

    I have a wireless print server connected to an HP 940C that I cannot get my iMac to print to. It finds it on the network, but is not printing. Any ideas??

    It is probably a driver issue.
    It may work with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.

  • Wireless print server DPR-1260/Canon i9900 and Snow Leopard 10.6.1

    Hello,
    I have recently got my Mac Book Pro and have the latest system (10.6.1) and cannot print with a wireless print server. I have a Dlink DPR-1260, and a Canon i9900 printer. I have done everything and I still cannot print. Please I need help!!!!
    Susan

    Hello Susan and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Unfortunately the Canon Mac drivers have never worked correctly with the wireless print servers. I tested a Dlink model some years ago and while the Windows drivers for the same model would work fine, the Mac driver would always fail.
    The only solution was to use the Gutenprint driver suite for Mac OS X. This software provided drivers for many brands of printers including Canon, and got our A3 inkjet working - albeit it wasn't always available as it seemed to never wake from sleep mode.
    Checking the Gutenprint drivers included with 10.6, which are added when you do a custom install or by running the Optional Installer package within the 10.6 DVD, the i9900 is not listed as a supported model. It appears that only the Canon version of the i9900 driver is included with 10.6.
    So, you have some decisions to make...
    1. Don't use wireless and just have the i9900 plugged in directly to the Mac via USB
    2. Replace the Dlink with an Airport Express. Due to the way in which Apple has made their Airport units, they will let you use the Canon driver.
    3. Keep the Dlink and purchase an alternate driver software package called Printfab. If you are printing mostly graphics on the i9900 then this driver suite can provide you with more colour control than the Canon driver. And it will work with the Dlink like the Gutenprint drivers do.
    Hope this helps

  • Is there a Mac-compatible wireless print server?

    This is a variation on a theme many have touched upon. I want to have my Airport Extreme wirelessly connected to two printers (B&W laser, and color inkjet) currently connected by USB cables, stretched to 16' limit. Printers can't be moved conveniently to a closer position. I bought a $100 NetGear wireless print server WGSP606 (two USB ports) at CompUSA yesterday after staff there said it would work with Macs. Alas, it doesn't. The printers are not wireless models; the wireless print server supposedly (if Mac-compatible) would effectively make them wireless. From the various posts I get impression that an Airport Express might work, but could it serve two printers? Anyone know of a Mac-compatible wireless print server? Or have a workaround suggestion? Any help much appreciated.

    I'd say if the print server supports standard printing protocols, then OS X will work with it. But there are issues you should learn about.
    The network comm protocols you see in Printer Setup Utility are part of the CUPS system. Very few (only Brother so far) non-postscript printer drivers work correctly with the CUPS system. The manufacturers have provided OS 9-style drivers that have USB comm written into the driver, limiting you to USB use only. Postscript printers don't have this issue because they don't need a driver, just a PPD. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print open source CUPS drivers, but the models supported are limited. So, the first issue is - is a CUPS driver available?
    Protocol setup on OS X is the next issue. For Windows, there is autosetup software for nearly every print server sold new. We don't have that software on OS X, so we need to enter the correct info into Printer Setup. The IP > IPP and IP > LPD protocols require a print-server-specific queue name together with IP address to route data to the printer. Because of the Windows autosetup software, help desk people at Netgear may not even know this basic info. But nearly all print servers correctly support the standards and the device queue name can be found in the print server manual.
    The advantage of Airport Express and Extreme as print servers is that Apple uses the airport/Bonjour software to redirect USB output from the computer to the USB on the Express/Extreme. Kind of avoids the printer driver issue but also takes away some standard IP protocols (only HP jetdirect is supported for non-Bonjour printers).
    Sorry for the mini-lecture. Hope this helps.
    (Airport Express/Extreme is only for one printer)

  • 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.

    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.
