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.

  • 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.

  • I can no longer wireless print from my mac using my Lexmark X4550 printer

    I have read all the previous forums from like a year ago about the troubles that Leopard brought to Lexmark printers, some helped a lot, although I would really like to use my wireless capabilities. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling like 15 times and I decided to post a thread here to hopefully get this resolved. I get as far as installing the printer driver but then when I go to install the printer into my print&fax under system preferences it does not allow me to add the printer... It just does not show up under my printer options. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED, Thank you.
    P.S.
    I can print using USB cable but would really like to print wireless. I was able to print wireless before I installed Leopard and have tried talking to Lexmark but no help.

  • 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.

  • Mac 10.5 and Windows 7 networking question(s)...

    So after about 5 hours of work I finally got my iMac desktop (10.5) to network wirelessly with my Windows 7 laptop.  All is well, except that my entire mac desktop hard drive shows up on the network even though I only have one specific folder set to "share" on my Mac desktop.  I can't figure out why the whole thing is showing up.  Any suggestions?  I've checked and rechecked my settings and only the one folder (not the public folder, but a different one if it matters) is checked to share.  The user on the Mac that shares info with the laptop is the administrator, if that matters.
    Also, I have another apple laptop.  Is it possible to share both a windows laptop and a mac laptop with a mac desktop at the same time?  I don't think it is because you have to set file sharing to "smb" to network with windows and not use "afp" or "ftp" and I don't think mac can use "smb" between two macs.  Is that right?  I can't get the mac laptop to network and I assume that this is the reason, but I thought I'd ask.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

    How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
    I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past?  Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

    Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this.  I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!

  • HP C6180 not responding with wireless print from Mac OS X 10.9

    My Printer does not work with wireless printing from my Macbook Air OS X 10.9
    I tried all the normal stuff I can find.
    The text that is there is: The Printer is not responding.

    Hi XavierMaassen,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C6180 that you're having issues using in Mac 10.9. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will certainly do my best to assist you.
    I'm wondering how you installed the printer. If you had it installed prior to upgrading to 10.9 that could be part of the problem. There are currently no HP drivers available for this printer for 10.9, so you need to uninstall the HP software and install the printer via the Apple updates. Once you do that you should be able to print normally and scan using 3 different methods.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

    Every time Firefox opened

    Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
    The first is labeled "Printer",
    The second is "Presets".
    The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
    Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

    Hi MaryEtta, and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you are having issues printing.  I would like to help. 
    I am including a document to help determine whch version of the Mac OS you are using:
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a Drivers.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
