So I have a new Mac Mini running OS X 10.7.3 and when I want to print to my dad's old XP PC I have to transfer the document to my sisters pc. I have tried everything to get it to print without success. It is an HP computer that is sharing the printer over the network.

I have recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and am now having problem with my hp 4500 office jet printer. The print icon tends to stay on the dock after the print job is done and then mess up the print queue. Even worse if I forget to cancel it manually then when I put the computer on 'sleep' the printer starts up again and the whole job is rerun unless I get to cancel it quickly on the printer! Â
It does not always do this (the print icon disappearing as it should do), but for 90% of the time it does.Â
I recently got a new (used) mini and now can't seem to print. The printer shows up when the printer window opens, but the printer just doesn't respond. I checked the wiring. It is connected by USB. I also looked for a new printer driver for this model, but can't find one that works with this OS

I have a Kodak ESP-3 connected via USB to my Desktop with Windows 7 on it. I've enabled sharing on my printer, and my roommates can print off my printer no problem at all. When I tried to connect my mac to the printer, I'm at a loss. One guide I found told me to go to Applications > Utilities > The printer option (I can't remember what its called). The printing option isn't listed under utilities, or I'm passing over it. I went to system preferences and selected the printer, but my Kodak isn't coming up. I've enabled sharing on my mac, and same thing. I don't expect my Mac and Win machine to play nice together, but I'm hoping that at the very least I'll be able to print from my mac with out having to keep constantly unplugging my printer from my desktop. My roommate just bought a new router a few weeks ago, but failed to get one capable of network printing, so picking up a new router is out of the question right now....

I have set up a mac ibook running 10.4.11 as a print server. I want to be able to print with full printer (hp psc 1500) functionality (bonjour doesn't appear to allow that) from the xp box. I have set it up through CUPS on the mac. However, the XP box (it does see the printer) does nothing with the documents. They appear to be sitting there to be printed. I have the drivers installed on the xp box. Here is the link to the site where the directions are located, [URL].

All the Macs are playing nicely.
The Pentium's Internet connection works fine, but it won't print.
A while back I installed Bonjour for Windows on the Pentium. I gather it worked for a day or so, then stopped working. Earlier today I uninstalled and reinstalled Bonjour. No dice. The computer won't acknowledge that there is a printer on the network, and won't let me install one.
There is antivirus software and a firewall on the Pentium. (I don't remember which software packages offhand.) The correct port is open for Bonjour.
Also, any recommendations for attaching an HD to the Airport, for backups and file sharing? If I hook up a hub, how many peripherals can be attached to it, and how many can be shared by the various computers?
I have a 2010 MacBook Air with Lion system software. I connect to my Window XP computer at home to get on the network with no problems. I have an HP Printer and cannot figure out how to connect to via the network.My previous PC notebook was able to connect and print via the network.

Short version: Paritioned Mar 09 Mini to have a 32 gig partition for Windows 7.Formatted Partition 3 BOOTCAMP to NTFS, now only have Windows 7, no option to boot OSX. Is it recoverable without reloading from the install discs?I believe this is user error on my part. Actually, I'm quite sure of it.
I have been trying to get Windows 7 installed on my EEE PC 901 on and off since it came out with RC1. Keep on running into troubles. So I think, why not boot camp it with my March 09 Mini? There's plenty of space, I'll give it a nice little 32 gig partition, install Steam on it, get some Left 4 Dead action..Well Boot Camp goes fine. I set up a 32 gig partition. I put int the Windows disc when prompted. Fine.
It goes to ask which partition to install to. I of course select Parition 3, BOOTCAMP. Cannot install to this partition... um... Hrm. Well there's a format button. It will format that partition to NTFS. Okay, I went ahead and did that.
Windows 7 installs, no problem aside from having to update the Realtek drivers for audio. Install Left 4 Dead. Works fine. Even resync the BT mouse and keyboard so I can be extra lazy. I've had my fun though, and then I go to get back on OSX. It goes to a white screen, then loads Windows 7.
I'm doing something wrong. I look it up online. Oh, hit the options key or hold it to choose an OS. No recognition, an off-white screen, then Windows 7. Oh, I'm using my BT keyboard, it must be that. I hook up a USB keyboard. Nothing. Hold X to boot directly to OSX. Fine. Oops, same thing.
Now I'm thinking back to choosing to format Partition 3 from whatever it was to NTFS. But unless I am missing something, OSX should still be recoverable without having to reload everything, unless I somehow flummoxed the MBR, right?Someone slightly more savvy want to chime in?
Correction: My friend was just over and is a big Mac guy. First question was, "you did put the OSX disc back in to complete the process once Windows loaded, right?"Problem solved? It just finished with the drivers, restarting, and now holding the Alt key will bring up the option.So that was it? Wow. Sorry about getting riled up for apparently nothing. Another question as an offshoot, since this does seem to be working rather well, can I expand that partition later on without screwing up OSX? I really don't have anything installed on the Mac side aside from iLife, Office08, and Boxee.
Is it possible to print from Snow Leopard to a Windows 7 shared printer?

View 7 Replies View RelatedOn my PCs I use a program called Fineprint and it lets me "print" pages and pages and stores them until I want to print them to a printer all at once or to a PDF and combine them. It's really sweet if you have a shared printer or want multiple pages on one piece of paper. Anything like this for a Mac?

Office setting (I am at University, that's why we all go out with out own public IPs): Â
- windows XP computer connecting directly to the internet with its own IP address, we shall say 123.456.789.0
A HP laserjet 4100 printer connected to the windows XP computer, called Printer2Â
- airport extreme connecting directly to the internet with its own IP address, we shall say 098.765.432.1Â
- macbook connected to airport. Note that this way macbook and windows are not in the same workgroup.Â
I made the windows xp share the printer and I added some exceptions to the firewall so that it would accept incoming printing jobs from the airport's IP 098.765.432.1. I downloaded the Laserjet drivers on the mac.Â
And then, I tried every possible configuration to add the printer. IPP, LPD, Socket, SMB...
I tried putting as a queue just Printer2, I tried putting /printers/Printer2.. I even tried things like username:password@123.456.789.0:port... nothing worked. I just cannot manage to print, and I actually cannot even make the mac recognize the printer.Â
I remember I once found out what the problem was... but that was long ago and I forgot about it..It even kept working as I switched from an old access point to the airport..

Trying everything from installing ix4000's driver to CUPS driver and so on. The printer works fine when connected to my MacBook Pro but when trying to print on windows xp network.. nothing happens.
Sometimes it says not authorized some time it keeps on trying.Â
When adding a printer I choose windows and I see it and can add it . The driver is available and everything works fine....But it doesn't print or it seems MBP can't send information to that computer which has the printer. The printer on that computer (XP) is shared . Â

I'm trying to print an Excel 2004 .xls spreadsheet file where I'm using to record attendance for the class I teach.I have my main Column A with Rows A-X and it shows up fine, I imagine because there is content in the boxes.
But I also have Columns B-L and rows A-X with nothing in their cells, but when I print it, they won't print.I need these blank because I'll check them off if the child in the first column attended the lesson. How do I make it so my many blank cells will print as well?
I have had difficulty in attaching my HP Photosmart C5580 printer to my new MacBookPro (OSX 10.6) through my Netgear WGPS606 print server. After much searching I found previous posts here which advised me to add the Gutenprint driver 5.2.6 which I did. That finally DID successfully attach the printer through the server.
However, there is a lag of many seconds (sometimes minutes) between the SEND command and the starting of the printer. Is this the new normal that I need to expect or is there a fix?
I'm new to Mac OS X, but have been working with Linux for almost 9 yrs now. I have set up a Linux box with CUPS 1.3.9. I can print from the server, and from other Linux stations to that remote server. However, I can't print from a client MacBook.
I set up CUPS on the client Mac via http://localhost:631 and created a printer associated with the remote queue / printer on Linux (the URL I use on OS X is http://mylinuxserver:631/printers/hpprinter and the driver is RAW).
I have no problems sending a test page from the CUPS web interface on Mac OS X to the Linux server -- the test page gets printed OK. However, I can't see the printer I just defined from other Mac OS X apps, and neither can I see it from the Add Printer Dialog on System Preferences (it's empty).
I tried creating the printer at the Add Printer dialog, but it would neither let me specify an HTTP URL (as far as I know, I had to use the IP icon on the toolbar) nor specify "RAW". So I tried creating a "dummy" printer in the Add Printer dialog, with a basic config, and then changing it from the CUPS web GUI. This didn't work either, since when I went back to the Add Printer dialog, the printer was gone.
