WRT350N Print Server? Samba Printer Port

Issue: I have a hard drive attached and shared out on my WRT350N -- works great.. When i browse the share device from a Vista or XP machine i see a directory (shares) called Config and one called Printers and Faxes -- neither of these two i created during the setup of the router.. So -- i double click upon the Printer and Faxes share and it opens up to a blank page -- right clicking gives me the option to add printer and to view server properties.. the properties show a print server with Samba Printer Port.. plus a ADD PRINTER option.. well i get all excited about sharing my network printer on this thing.. only to add printer and get a error about not enough access rights.. nothing i do will grant me access to add a printer.. is this even possible? Is this a flaw in the product? Or a Windows mishap?

I did get the direct IP pringing to work, and the Samba, but it has to have the username/password in the string:
smb://userName:password@workgroup/computer/printer

Creating Queue, Print Serve, and Printer

We are using Novell Netware 4.x.
We have a HPLJ5 SI printer with a CNET Print Server attached via the LP
cable port then attached to the network.
When creating the print queue, print server, and printer via the Netware
Administrator it appears that nothing is seen on the locally attached
print server.
I have reviewed the config on the Print Server, all appears correct, but
when I add the queue, server, and printer, the system does not see the
prin server?
I have been recently introduced to Novell, so please bear with me if the
info to answer is not all here.
TIA,
Bill

We are using IPX/netware.
The print server is configured with:
1. The print server name
2. The Netware server name
3. NDS Tree and Context
I have also created the Queue, Print Server, and Printer in the
organization. The print queue does have the print server and printer in
the assignmenets area.
I guess I am a little confused. If the print server is attached to the
printer what is the relationship between the print server and the queue?
And what makes this different between that and a print server and queue on
the server itself?
I guess you can tell I am a little (or maybe even a lot) lost!
TIA,
Bill

I want to know if Ican connect a print server (to print with several wireless printers) to the new airport express given that it has wan and lan ports. Tks!

The print server that I want to connect allows me to choose among 2 usb printers and 01 serail port printer. It needs to be connected to a router through a lan port. Given that the all new airport express now come with a wan and a lan port, i want to know if I can connect this device to the airport express.

You're welcome.
Beware that while USB print servers are commonly available and inexpensive, finding one with a serial port is more of a challenge. Apple Stores in the US do not sell them. Call the iStore before going there.
If you need recommendations for obtaining a print server with a serial port, let me know.

Linksys Wireless Print Server & HP Printer

Does anyone know if I can use my Linksys wireless print server which is attached to my HP All-in-One Inkjet printer for printing on my MacBook Pro? When I go to add a printer, nothing is detected - neither the HP or the Print Server.

I am facing the same problem too, except that my printer is a CANON. I can't seem to see the printer over the wireless network. However, when I connect the printer hardwired to my MBP, everything works fine and I am able to print normally.

Vitrual Print Server to Print Standard Support

Can a Vitrual Print Server be used for Print Standard Support or Advanced Support.
Are there different Print Server Script that I should use other then:
/xmlpserver/convert
Any information would be great. Thanks

Inplace upgrades (As Christopher said) are a bad idea, they bring along with them all the old patches and other cruft that you want to avoid since the old system has been maintained. Upgrading the server should bring along all the old settings, so
yes this should work as you hope. The one bad thing if you were to rebuild you would have to re-add all the print shares.
This really isn't an AD question and would suggest in the future you post in the General Windows Server forum.

Print Server - network printing

I would like to share a printer in my network. I installed the printer as shown in the manuel. The printer is connected via usb to the server. I can print locally but not from the network.
If I send a print job from a max os x client the printer management tool will open up and displays the job correct, the only unusual is that it's showing me that he is searching for printers. Sometimes is takes longer, sometime it's quicker. But at the end it shows always "Connecting with printer". After awhile it tries to rebuild the printer and finally it tries to print again after 5 seconds.
At the CUPS the printer is installed and shared properly. At the server management tool SMB and LPR is enabled- Ipp and printer quote are disabled.
At CUPS the following options are marked:
Show printers shared by other systems ; Share printers connected to this system; allow printing from the internet; allow remote administration
thank you in advance.
Kind regards Marc

As John suspected, the LaserJet 5L is a non-Postscript printer, which was never supported by HP for use with Macs. No MacOS 9.x printer drivers exist for the LaserJet 5L. It can be made to work with MacOS X only because of the availability of the third-party printer drivers provided by either HPIJS or Gimp-Print.
What you could do - enable printer sharing of this printer on your Mac mini. Then set up printing from the iMac to the shared printer created by the Mac mini by following the advice at:
Printing to a Mac OS X shared printer from Mac OS 9 via LPD/LPR.

Jetdirect 300x print server wont print from my imac

I have an iMac running 10.6.8 and I would like to print over my newtwork using a hp jetdirect 300x which is attached to a hp 5p lazerjet printer. The windows xp notebook i have works fine through it. I can see a jetdirect socket on the list on my Mac when i am trying to connect to it using the add a printer function and i printed out the pcl config page using my windows notebook. I used the ip address from there but nothing i do gets a print order through. either it unendingly tries to connect and doesn't or it shows a printer in the selection window but registers a busy will try in 5 seconds or does not connect. I understand apple discontinued appletalk with this operating system and I could find no drivers or printserver software on hp's website for apple to download to make this work. can anyone suggest something to do to make my iMac and printserver work together. I have another hp color lazerjet 2600n that works with the iMac just by plugging it in and loading the cd that came with it. I don't have a cd for the Jetdirect 300x. Could i get one somewhere and would it have the apple drivers to make this work if I could?

vic11,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
I hope this helps.

LP print Server Prints garbage via Samba

Hi,
I have configured a print server that prints just fine when used by a Solaris host. Samba does not print at all using a pcl driver and prints garbage with a PS driver. The server is Solaris 10 Update 5. Samba is 3.X. I used this command to get one of the printers working on unix:
lpadmin -p myprinter -v /dev/null -m netstandard_foomatic -o protocol=bsd,dest=myprinter1:9100 -o banner=never -n /etc/lp/model/ppd/system/HP_LaserJet_4250.ppd
If I chop the command down to just:
lpadmin -p myprinter -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o protocol=bsd,dest=myprinter1:9100 -o banner=never
It will print jobs from unix/samba clients. From what I can tell Samba likes raw devices and the ppd file I use is a Postscript file. The reason i need the ppd is so that the printer can do some useful things like double sided printing and 2 pages per sheet.
Any help is appreciated.

Finally, it allows hardly any of the HP multifunctionality it's supposed to come with.
This is a limitation of using third party wireless print servers. Most multifunctions will only allow (simple) printing.
HP touts this as being a wireless-adaptable printer, so everything should work with my wireless setup.
I would expect this is the case IF you use the HP wireless adapter for your printer.
The D-Link is supposed to work with Macs also.
My HP LaserJet 1300 works fine wirelessly with this setup.
This would be expected as it is just a printer.

How to set up Canon printer via Netgear print server ps121 on new macbook

I have bought a new Macbook (OS10.4.8). The Apple store gives a good deal if you buy a Canon ip4300 with it but I am having problems figuring out how to set up the printer to work thru my Netgear print server on my Netgear network. Can anybody advise:
1. I know my print server is on port 192.168.1.5, but what kind of settings do I use, IPP or LPT or something else?
2. Why can I not find the driver for the ip4300, even though I have used the CD that came with the printer and run the install program and the printer DOES work when I plug it directly into the USB port. Why does the Macbook come with drivers already installed for only a few ancient BJ Canons and why won't it show me where the driver for the ip4300 is since it is obviously already on the machine?
I know Netgear treats its customers with contempt (Linksys even worse). But I would expect a little more simplicity from Canon and Apple. I know I am an orangutan but it still seems incredibly difficult, as if they have hidden the printer driver on the computer and as if Apple does not want you to install networked printers. Please don't tell me to RTFM, I have read the Canon manual, it tells you how to network with Windows, does not even mention Mac. Any advice appreciated.

Hi zoevancouver,
If you are not able to set up your Canon MP460 printer, take a look at the article below. There is a link to the Canon website and compatible printers. Since this particular model is not on the list, you may need to contact Canon for additional support.

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.

How to connect to Linksys Wireless Print Server (WPS54GU2) from WIndows 7

I tried the Print Server Utility that was loaded from the WPS54GU2 user install disk. Ended up with an AddPort error.
Went ahead and created local printer for printer I was trying to get to (Epson Color Stylus 400). Did a "Printer Properties" on the printer after it is was created and clicked on the "Port" tab. Clicked on the "Add Port" button and selected "Standard TCP/IP Port" from list. Clicked on "New Port" . Wizard came up and clicked "Next" on this screen. I typed in the IP address of my Print Server (with no Port Name) and let it search for a while and it eventually failed. A screen came up requesting "additional port information" so I clicked on the "Custom" button and then clicked on the"Settings" button. Here I typed in the correct port name (which in my case was like LKxxxxxx where the x's are numerics). The IP address is already filed in. I checked the LPR button and made up a Queue Name and typed it into the Queue Name text box.
After clicking OK I tried printing to the printer and everything seemed to work correctly.

Corleone
I have the same issue as I have a new Windows 7 machine that is hardwired to my Linksys WPS54G. This is my main office PC and I have other computers throughout the house that are connected wirelessly to the WPS54G. I've tried to create a new port for printing based on the posts from other users but it still won't work. I've run the Linksys configuration and my PC sees the printer server. Am I missing a step?
Here is what I've done
Go to ports
Add new port
Standard TCP/IP Port
Click new port (Wizard comes up)
Enter printer name and IP address ( I enter my IP address for the Print Server 192.168.1.x)- Port name is same as IP Address (does this matter?)
Go to custom settings and set for LPR with Queue name of LP1 (or should it be L1?)
LPR Byte count box checked
Click next and finish
Do I need to restart my computer?
What am I missing
Thank you

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 #.

D-Link Wireless Print Server

Ideas in lay language???

Yes. Think this should be posted on the printing board. That said, I have a similar set up, D-Link wireless router and wireless print server.
I found that I could not rely on Bonjour getting the printers to work. I suggest you take the following steps:
1. Open the printer browser and click on add a new printer.
2. Select the IP printer
3. As the protocol select Line Printer Daemon
4. Input the IP address for your wireless printer. I found I had to assign my print server a static address, which was 192.168.0.10
5. Input the Queue. This is probably takes the form of something like "PS-xxxxxx-U1" where the x's are numbers and U1 represents the USB printer you've assigned to the U1 port when you set up the wireless print server.
6. Select your printer at the bottom of the browser window and click Add.
This is the only way I was able to get my HP's to print.

CP1217 vs. Network Print Server

Hi,
I'm trying (and failing) to get my CP1217 (colour lasjet) working with my network print server (Netgear WGPS606).
The CP1217 works fine connected directly (USB) to the computer, and the WGPS606 works fine (otherwise I wouldn't be typing this - and it worked fine with my previous (HP) printer).
When the CP1217 is hooked up to the WGPS606 (and after the printer/software setup is done so that the printer is setup on the IP printer port), the HP print monitor (prnstatusmx.exe) reports that it isn't connected, and nothing prints. The WGPS606 status/diagnostics however report that it is connected (although it is clearly true that the printer is no longer locally connected.)
I have three questions - all help appreciated:
Has anyone got the CP1217 (or a printer from the same series) working with a WGPS606? (If so, how?)
Is the CP1217 compatible with a network print server (apart from the HP wireless kit thing which wouldn't do what I need)?
Does the print monitor (prnstatusmx.exe) only "see" locally connected printers, regardless of what port settings are set for the printer?
Thanks in advance...

I've been using a CP1217 with a Sitecom LN308 print server (which is cabled to my switch) since late March and it's fine, so the answer to your question whether it works with anything other than the HP print server is a resounding 'Yes'. Initially I just installed drivers as I was in the middle of an Open University assignment and wanted to print a.s.a.p (my poor old DJ840C was struggling). Today I decided to install the Toolbox so I can monitor the toner levels etc, as I'm about to start another block in my OU course and have lots of course text to print. That's where the problem started as the Toolbox is seeing the printer via the Sitecom but there's a big cross beside it and I can't access the status monitors etc. I've posted this as I'm hoping someone can tellme if/how this can be made to work.
You don't say if your print server is wired or wireless - if the latter, might this be an issue?
You said you've installed it using IP (I take it you've used a local TCP/IP port with the print server IP no?) - have you tried installing it as a local crown port using \\<print server name>\Printer name? Might be worth a go.
Good luck.

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,
