I bought this IMac yesterday and it worked fine till I connected my HP printer. Once the printer was connected and I restarted my machine its not turning on. I removed my printer and tried to switch it on. After that it never turned on.

I need help connecting a PC printer (HP laserjet 4100 series PCL) on XP to to my imac.My printer is shared wirelessly to every other computer in my house, but as for this mac I can't seem to locate it. I tried that CUPS, but it can't locate it.

He is running on a powerbook g4. For years (like 10 or so) he has been using an HP Deskjet 952c to print via USB.
We have recently gotten a Lexmark laser printer that prints wirelessly for the entire office. For a month or two, he was able to use both. He began to have trouble with the wireless printer and we had to delete and then re-add it to his print & fax in System preferences. That worked for the wireless, but then after doing that he was not able to print with his USB HP printer.
We went through the same process of turning the printer off then back on, then later deleted it from the print & fax menu, however, when trying to add it back on, his computer is not detecting it's connection. I have tried resetting his printer and unplugging and re-plugging all of the connections, and still it is not mounting or being recognized.
I don't know what could be causing this or what possible solutions there are. I wouldn't think it would be a driver issue as it is an old printer and has been working up until a few days ago, until his issue with the wireless printer.
Something that could be of note too is that his Entourage has recently crashed, however, I don't know if this would have any effect on his printer connection. Of course I would like this problem to be fixed, but maybe it's just time for an upgrade.
How can I use the printer without connecting it to my mac?

I have a Dell Desktop running XP connected to a Linksys router. Also, there is a Canon MX700 connected to the router via ethernet. I would like to set this up so that both the Mac and PC can print to the Canon over the network. The Dell prints fine to the Canon, but when I try to enter the IP address of the printer (192.168 etc.) into the macbook, things do not work. A window comes up saying "192.168... is busy. Will try again in 20 second.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an eMac 1Ghz with 10.3.9 on it and I just bought a new Lexmark Wi-Fi Printer. I have no Extreme card, just a Netgear Wired/Wireless router that's obviously connected to my eMac via CAT5 cable. I set up the printer for wireless, hoping my eMac would use the router as a card-substitute type deal. Well it doesn't. Cannot connect as if it were not there.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a MAcBook Pro and used to have an HP Photosmart printer, however my computer stopped recognizing it as my main printer so I went out and bought a new one, an Epson Stylus NX430 and the same thing is happening with this one. So it must be my computer. My new printer is only wireless and didn't come with a USB cord. It is hooked up to my wireless network and I downloaded the software to my computer, but my computer will not recognize it at all.

I am running Win XP Pro, and my wife is running OSX with the printer connected to that via USB. How do I allow my comp, running Boot Camp, to see the printer connected to her comp?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 1.5TB external HDD that I am using with my iMac. But I have just added a MBP, so now I have two computers that need backing up. I was thinking of time capsule, but someone suggested I just get an airport extreme and hang the 1.5TB drive off of that. Is that do-able? But also the MBP only has 2 USB ports (my old Dell had 4). If I got the extreme, could I split the USB port and have both a HDD AND a printer off the extreme? Now that I say this out loud (or type outloud), this seems unlikely, but I thought I should check.

I was wondering how to connect my macbook to the printer, because when I go to the printer and fax section in System Preferences, I can go to the computer on the Windows section, but it won't find the printer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan anyone talk me through connecting to an Epson printer through EpsonNet?
- basically a mini print server like the ones you used to see a lot of before HP JetDirect etc took off.
We connect to any number of HP and Canon printers, but one of my art departments has an Epson Stylus Color 1160 which is connected through one of these. One mac is connected to it, I cannot connect the other three macs to it, I have tried everything, every kind of printer connection, and putting what meagre information I can get into all the windows in the printer connection dialogue.Is it even possible to get an IP address from this thing? Because entering the queue that shows up in the Profiler of the mac that is already connected does nothing.
All Macs are running 10.4.11. I understand Epson have issues with 10.5 but it doesn't apply in this case. I pride myself on being able to connect anything to anything but I've got to say I'm stumped here, it might as well be in Swahili.Also, I have downloaded the Epson 1160 Driver for Mac OS 10.x from Epson, it asks for a re-start after installing, after the re-start it doesn't appear to show up, just the Gimp-print driver that is bundled with Mac OS, which would be fine actually, anything would be fine. I already bought an Epson R1800 to replace this thing but the color on it is atrocious so we're back to the 1160 as the only decent real-color-proofing we have.
My MacBook Pro is connected to a wireless Belkin network with no issues, but I cannot seem to add the printer to the same network.Â

View 3 Replies View Related I'm brand new to this forum, and Mac's as a whole. I'm trying to connect our new MacBook Pro to a HP Photosmart C4680 printer through a wireless network that we purchased yesterday. Both the MacBook and printer were purchased through at the Apple store.
Here is our setup:
HP printer is shared, but is connected via USB to a Dell desktop. I have successfully been able to print from my Dell laptop through our home's wireless network. Both the Dell desktop and laptops are on Vista.
I just bought an iMac. my husband bought a Dell XPS 2730. Of course, we discovered that we could not both connect to our old printer without some very technical stuff beyond our ken. So we bought a new wifi direct Brother printer,I can't even see the printer from my iMac. I have downloaded the latest drivers for it from Apple. The printer is all set up and can see my iMac.Â

I already have a wireless network in my house. I'm about to buy a printer, but would prefer to keep the printer in a different room. Can I connect the printer to one of those AirPort Express Base Station, then print wirelessly from my laptop?

It sounds confusing, so hopefully one of you guys will be able to understand it and maybe quickly draw a labeled diagram to show me.

I am a new intern with a small company and am trying to connect my Macbook Pro's printer settings to our office printer, which is a LanierLD145. We halso have an HP3600 on the same wireless network which my Macbook can detect and print to just fine via the shared network server. However, when I try to find the LanierLD145 I can't find it anywhere on my shared network or via a wireless to connection in order to print to it from my laptop.
I have access to the desktop I believe the printer is routed to the server through and have "shared printer with network" via this computer. However, I still cannot find the LD145 icon on my macbook when I try to connect and print, even when going through the "Windows"-> (shared server) route. I've also installed apple's "general lanier printer driver" in hopes have luck finding the printer if I have the driver installed, but that has not worked either. How I can connect the macbook to the LanierLD145 via my wireless server connection?
