Wireless printing to Canon MX310 fails using D-Link Router - Can't Connect

I recently bought a D-Link wireless router (320), which supports wireless printing and I am trying to set it up to work with MBP. I set it up to run with Windows XP and it works fine with no problems, but with my MBP it won't work. Here is a screen shot showing the XP set up and the printer server info from the router (bottom).
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/1645/printerq.jpg
From this, I've been using the following information to add the printer,
Protocol: HP Jetdirect - Socket
Address: 192.168.0.1
Queue: lp1
The printer shows up as idle in the printer selection menu. When I print it goes through the following messages,
Connecting to Printer...
Printer Online...
Printing...
And then the queue clears itself as if it printed, but nothing ever comes out of the printer. At first I assumed it was a problem with the router, but when I tested it with Windows it doesn't have any hang-ups.
Any help would be appreciated with this, as I've read several posts and tried all recommendations but nothing will work. I'm also curious if I have the "Queue" in the printer dialogue right, or if it should be 9100. Thanks in advance!

Based on your Windows port configuration, your Mac printer queue configuration is reasonably correct. Although based on your Windows port configuration, you don't seem to require a queue name of lp1 - this would normally be required for LPD connections.
Your issue will be with the driver used. The Canon Mac drivers cannot be used when you have the printer connected to the USB port of a wireless router or print server (although the exception to this rule is an Airport device). When you have the printer connected via USB to a router or being shared by Windows, then you need to use a CUPS-based driver like Gutenprint or PrintFab (yes I know the Canon driver says CUPS but it is not true CUPS).
The Gutenprint tends to be the preferred driver because it is free, however your MX310 is not listed as a supported model so you would have to experiment with using a model that is supported and this can waste a lot of time and ink/paper.
PrintFab (www.printfab.net) costs 49 Euro but it does support your MX310. A trial version is also available so you could see if the printer does work before making a purchase.
One final note. For your Windows queue you don't need to add the colon 9100 after the IP address. The fact that you have selected RAW and have 9100 set for the Port Number is adequate.

  • Wireless printing stopped - Canon MX310

    I see many people are having this issue. After searching the forums I haven't seen the solution.
    We used to be able to print wirelessly with this same printer & network. One day it just stopped working and nothing I've been able to find has fixed the issue.
    10.5.6 - Host machine - USB wired to MX310
    10.5.8 - Macbook Pro wireless
    We've installed the latest drivers on both machines (is it only really needed on the host machine???)
    Host Machine:
    Sharing - Printer Sharing ON - MX310 Printer is checked to SHARE
    Print & FAX Prefs - MX310 Printer is checked to SHARE
    Wireless Machine:
    Added the MX310 printer again - took it a while to do it's scan and "getting info", but it shows up with the correct name & Host machine.
    When we try to print on the wireless machine it just says "printing", but nothing else happens.
    It also fails in the exact same way when the Macbook Pro is connected via ethernet cable, so it's not just the wireless aspect.
    I do see that it's trying to connect on port 601. I'll see if there's a way to open that port up & if it changes anything.
    Any ideas?

    Hello DaveF,
    First thing I would do is ensure you can print to the MX310 via USB with the MacBook Pro. This will help to determine if the driver software is installed correctly on the MBP. If that works fine then you can concentrate on the network connection.
    Printer sharing uses port 631, which is used by Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). You could monitor this port on the machine hosting the share to see if the MBP actually connects to it. If you open Terminal and type 'netstat -a', this will show all currently active ports and connections. If the MBP does connect, then you will see its IP address and the port number in the list.
    If you don't see the MBP in the list, check the built-in firewall settings are not enabled (located in System Prefs > Security > Firewall). Also try enabling File Sharing and check that you can connect to the Public folder.

  • Wireless printing from a PC thru a D-link router thu a G5 to a wired Epson

    Greetings and thanks to all that support the unsupportable! I have successfully created my first local network and actually got a HP laptop, G4 iMac and a G5 imac online to with a satellite modem. The G5 is connected via ethernet to the router and the G4's airport card has found the d-link DIR-615 and the HP which didn't have a network card goes online with the matching d-link USB N adapter.
    My next goal is to get the HP to print on the Epson and I have deadended. I have gone into Directory Access on the G5, changing the name of the workgroup to the one on the HP...On the HP, I then tried any address I could think of for wireless printing on the HP's XP "wizard". It asks for an http://servers/printers/ myprinter.printer for internet, home or home office network....
    Nowhere can I find these paths.
    I even tried creating a new TCP/IP port on the HP but it asks for an http address too.
    It seems like it should be so easy, since the internet works for all..
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    And how about Windows Sharing and Printer Sharing in Sharing Prefs? On?
    There are at least 4 different protocols that will work printing from Windows to OS X. Windows sharing, IP printing > LPD, IP printing > IPP and Bonjour.
    Go to Help > mac Help and search for Windows printer share, or printer share.

  • Unable to use wireless printer or gateways/bridges with new D-Link 2750

    I have setup a new D-Link modem/router and connected my printer, HP Inkjet 4500, and a Netgear Range Extender WN200RPT. I had no problems with connecting them, but I can not print with any of my computers and the Netgear can not connect to the internet throught the ethernet ports. Verizon wants me to sign up for the Premium support, but all of the equipment worked with my old modem/router. Any ideas?

    Also, (don't know if this is relevant) but I've got three sticks of ram: 2 2GB modules and 2 1GB modules. They are grouped together properly.

    Hi,
    Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
    Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

    looks like this is your network connection settings problem, you'd better only keep one network adaptor online and linked, if you do not understand how to setup windows routing, this is completely not firefox problem. buddy. wish you goodluck.

  • WRT54GS wireless router can't connect to internet

    I'm now using an WRT160N wireless router, everything is ok, nothing happens
    i have an  WRT54GS (ver 6) wireless router that i have not used for 2 years.
    yesterday i took the WRT54GS out of the junk box, and replaced the WRT160N by the WRT54GS
    i have a desktop that is wired & a wireless lap top. my desktop does recognise the local network and my laptop does receive the signal but the my router can't connect to the internet.
    i did try everything:
    reset
    upgrade firmware
    but nothing worked
    can someone help. my ISP is comcast and this is my modem http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Cable-Modems-and-Gateways/SURF...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Bypass the router and connect the main computer directly to the modem.
    Make sure that you can access the Internet on your main computer directly through the modem.
    Connect the modem to the Internet port and main computer to the Ethernet port on the router.
    Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it manually.
    Follow this link to configure the router with CABLE Internet service.

  • Wireless Scanning on Canon MX310 via Time Capsule

    I can print wirelessly from my new MacBook Pro to the Canon MX310 but cannot scan wirelessly. canon could not help apart from suggesting I install MP Navigator v 3.0. It cannot be opened as the message I get when attempting to do so is "scanner driver supported by this software is not installed" and the original version of MP Navigator does nothing when attempting to scan wirelessly. I can scan using the USB connection but this is a nuisance now I have Time Capsule. My scanner drivers are up-to-date according to the versions on the Canon website. Canon Support suggested that the new MP Navigator software would enable an option to configure using the Time Capsule IP address but as I could not open the programme this obviously got nowhere.

    Hi LloydP,
    Your answer is very interesting and might solve one of my wishes.
    If I buy a all-in-one printer that supports WiFi scanning and printing from OS X 10.5 MacBooks, could I send print and scan jobs directly from and to the printer while surfing the Web via my TimeCapsule at the same time?
    So rather than connecting the all-in-one Ethernet/WiFi printer to my TimeCapsule and try to print- and scan- over the air (which doesn't work from the blogs I read), I could connect wireless to TimeCapsule to surf the Web and sent print and scan jobs wireless direcly to a Brother 490CW at the same time for example?
    Did I interpret this correctly? Thanks for your reply.

  • How do I get my iPad to recognise printer hp 1217nfw, I have a d-link router?

    How do I get my iPad to recognise my printer hp 1217nfw, connected with a d-link router?

    Don't know if you ever got this figured out but here is the answer...
    I just spent the last two days on this and have finally sorted it out. It actually isn't that hard to do but for some reason, no one has consolidated the information in one place!
    First and foremost, make sure that you have all the latest and greatest firmware updates for your printer, your computer and your mobile devices.
    Next, you need to connect your printer to your network via an ethernet cable, this is the only way to get in to the printer softare to configure it for your wireless network.
    Navigate the printer menus on the keypad to Reports>Config Report and print this report. It will provide you with the IP adress and IPv4 address for the printer.
    With the printer connected to your network and powered on, point your browser to the IP address of the printer. If this doen't work (it didn't for me) use the IPv4 address.
    This will open the configuration panel for the printer and will let you configure the wireless for the printer so that it can join your wireless network. You will see various tabs across the top. Select network. Then along the left you will see wireless. Choose that. Now you should see a list of wireless networks available including your very own home network. Choose that one, enter your password and hit apply.
    Disconnect the ethernet cable and you should be ready to Airprint from all devices. This worked for me, I can't imagine it won't work for all...then again...

  • DSL uses USB port - how can I connect BEFW router

    DSL Modem connected to BEFW11s4 V.4 router and desktop computer connected port #1 to Ethernet card ...  wireless laptop and wired desktop worked fine.   Then Desktop stopped having a connection ...  wireless units worked fine.
    Swapped Desktop cable to port #2 ....  Port #1 light remained lit although nothing was plugged in to it.  Port #2 light didn't light ... and no desktop connection.  Wireless still worked.
    Connected DSL to desktop ethernet card ... didn't work (no router involved).
    Connected DSL to computer thru USB prot ... desktop worked fine   however I saw no way to connect router so wireless would work.
    I reset DSL, Router and deleted and re-installed the ethernet card .... reinstalled all software ...   no luck.
    Should I gather that I have a router failure in the wired area and the wireless still be working?    I'm at wits end      Any thoughts would be appreciated
    Thanks

    in rural area .. no doubt about wireless signal being from my router.   I deleted and re-installed ethernet card (HP computer -- ethernet part of motherboard ... not separate card).  DSL to ethernet card failed ...  "failure to connect".
    Used DSL to USB as a last ditch effort...   worked ...   but don't know a way to connect router if using DSL to Desktop thru USB port.
    Could ethernet part of motherboard have failed?  and rest be working fine?
    network connections shows ethernet card and 1394 icon.
    ethernet card doesn't show "yellow triangle" in hardware set-up ... but status doesn't show an IP address, subnet mask or default gateway .....   1394 shows no action of any sort.
    I may be hopeless ...   maybe a system restore might find what I'm missing??

  • Time capsule wireless router can not connect both Macbook and iPad

    Currently my new time capsule can only connect my macbook pro wirelessly or by ethernet. My iPad or PC can not been connected to it. I guess the setting for the router is something wrong, but I do not know how to fix it. The settings indicate that there is no DNS address, and the router is off (bridged). I tried to change the router setting, but does not succeed. Sincerely ask for help.

    The settings indicate that there is no DNS address, and the router is off (bridged). I tried to change the router setting, but does not succeed. Sincerely ask for help.
    Sorry but I need you to clarify.. router is off.. what router are you talking about??
    If the clients do not have DNS, have you tried just supplying the standard google dns ie... 8.8.8.8 (very lucky number for Chinese) or 8.8.4.4
    http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
    You can usually set dns manually whilst still using DHCP for IP address.
    But better to start again.. reset the TC..
    Give it a simple name .. no spaces.. all alphanumeric.. the default name is NOT windows networking valid.
    eg I name my TC.. TC1
    Wireless name.. same rules.. I use TC24 and TC5 (I use separate names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz as I do not want computers auto swapping bands) I also set channels manually.. again because I do not want them auto swapping channels.
    Wireless passwords.. same rules.. you need to make it a bit longer of course.. but pure alphanumeric no spaces.
    In the disk area, assuming you want disk access.. then put in the WORKGROUP name.. usually WORKGROUP.. in caps btw.
    If you do all that it will usually also work with iPad.

  • Mac using Acrobat Pro v9 can't connect to shared review hosted on Sharepoint server.

    A person at our company has a Mac with Acrobat Pro v9 and can't connect to our shared review hosted on a Sharepoint server. The shared review is initiated from a PC using Acrobat Pro X.
    They can access/login to the Sharepoint server via Safari on the same computer both inside the company and from outside.
    They used to have it working just fine for months, then suddenly (recently) it stopped working and it just keeps saying that it can't connect.
    When trying to connect, Acrobat doesn't ask for credentials. I've tried hunting down where those credentials are stored to try and delete them to force it to ask again, but no luck there either.
    I also have a Mac (but I'm running Acrobat Pro XI and now DC) and I can access the same shared review that doesn't work for them. And I can't seem to break it for me (as an effort to figure out their problem).
    Any helpful guidance on how to get things back on track would be greatly appreciated. My head hurts from beating it against my desk. :-|
    Thanks!

    Several of us encountered the same issue running MAC OS X on Acrobat Pro XI.  I'm tagging your question to see if someone provides a solution.

  • Will using your own router allow loopback connections?

    SomeJoe7777 you are correct regarding the route of a given packet when using a WAN IP locally (NAT loopback). However will again state that NAT loopback does not work using a router behind the NVG589. As you stated it should...which is why the issue lies with the NVG589. Most likely something to do with IP passthrough mode on the NVG589 not being a true bridge mode which in turn does effect one's own router. Bottom line I encourage you to attempt NAT loopback yourself with a router behind the NVG589 and report your results. It wouldn't be the first time that ATT said something should work only to later admit it was a problem with their hardware.

    NAT loopback is defined as a function of a router where connections to ports on the outside IP address are translated and routed to the server defined in the router, even when the connection attempt comes from the "inside" portion of the network.
    e.g.. Let's say we have a router with an outside IP address of 99.99.99.99 (a public IP address), and the router has been configured so that inbound connections to port 80 on that WAN interface are translated to a destination address of 192.168.1.20 (on the inside network). This enables a web server running on the 192.168.1.20 machine to respond to web requests from the Internet, provided those web requests are coming in to 99.99.99.99.
    If another computer on the internal network, such as 192.168.1.101, can pull up the web site using http://99.99.99.99 (instead of the direct connection of http://192.168.1.20 ) then the router implements NAT loopback.
    Now, knowing that, let's review:
    If you use your own router, and it is the device doing the network address translation (NAT), that means it's outside address is x.x.x.x (a publically routable IP address), and it's inside addresses are private, in RFC 1918 address space. This can be set up with the U-Verse modems using DMZPlus (2Wire/Pace 3xxx series gateways) or IP Passthrough (Motorola NVG5xx series gateways).
    NAT loopback in this situation is completely dependent on the functionality of your own router. By definition, any NAT loopback request under this circumstance never leaves your network and your router, and thus never touches the U-Verse gateway at all.
    The bottom line is that if NAT loopback is not working with your router, then you either haven't configured your router properly, or your router doesn't support it. The ISP gateway has no bearing on this functionality whatsoever when configured in conjunction with your own router as described above.

  • I am trying to connect my new ipay to my wireless network and I do not know the password, how can I connect?

    I have a new IPAD and trying to hook up to my wireless network.  I do not know a password, how can I procees with the set up?

    you need to find out what your wifi password is....Search your router online.
    I know netgears are usually routerlogin.net (popup ADMIN- pass: password)
    Others have a different login.
    You can always try typing in your routers IP address into a browser search field(ie. 192.169.1.1)
    Some routers come with a setup CD.
    Another route with some is reseting the router to factory default(no password). This will allow anyone to access it thats nearby, so Id recommend this ONLY for initial connection, then reconfiguring it. Hold the reset button in for 30 seconds.
