OS X :: Work With 10.5 And Printer On Win XP?
Mar 22, 2008
I am an ex Windows user that finally saw the light, and bought a Mac with the latest OSX 10.5
My wife still belongs to the dark side and her computer runs XP. Our printer is connected via USB to her computer. I have tried to find out how to setup so that I can print from my Mac onto the printer through her computer. I am on a wireless network and file sharing is working fine. I googled the printer subject, but the only tutorials I found were outdated. Also, the printer I am trying to install is not in the default drivers preinstalled or available on OSX. The printer is a Canon MF4150.

I have an iMac (2gh Intel Core Duo) which I connect via USB to my printer (HP PSC 1500) when I go to print like this everything works fine. The problem is when I go to print from my MacBook Pro (2.4gh Intel Core 2 Due) wirelessly via my home network. I have turned on printer sharing on both machines and have the printer drivers installed on both as well.
When I got to print, I get the printer queue window open. It looks as though it�s trying to print and then I get this error message� �Fatal: opening printer connection failed, unable to open the printer connection, please check the printer connection and check the printer for errors�
The status of the printer then goes back to ready but nothing has printed.
Both machines are connected wirelessly to an AirPort Extreme Base Station.

I've found out the hard way that Snow Leopard does not support the same printers as Leopard did and now I'm stuck. I spent the better part of the day researching how to get my HP LaserJet 4m Plus to work with the new OS and got nowhere. Can anyone tell me what I can do to get the printer to work with the new OS? The printer may be old but it functions flawlessly and only has about 50,000 impressions made, so it still has lots of life. I have it hooked up via ethernet and the cable is run under the floor to the other side of the office so adapting a serial/USB would not be doable or practical. I don't have the money to blow on a new printer so I would really like to make this work somehow. Any help would be much appreciated.

I bought a Canon MF4550d Printer which works fine via USB, but not at all via airport extreme with my MacBook Pro from 2008. All my other printers work fine via airport extreme. Canon support checked everything they could, installations are correct. They referred me to apple but my support there has run out.

I need help locating Rosetta so my new Okilaser B431d will work. The DVD, which came with my new computer, is back in Nebraksa and I'm in Colorado for the summer. I found where is says if I can access the Internet (and I can) to click on Rosetta and I will be taken to where I can do just that. Except that the word Rosetta is not a link to anywhere.I have an Intel based IMac running OS X 10.7.4?

My newish Canon LBP 6000 printer periodically stops working. I've always managed to get it going again by reinstalling it. This time, nothing I do is working. Here is a screen shot of what I get.
When I try to print, (first window, top left), the "sending data to printer" message goes on endlessly. I tried unplugging the printer USB from the computer, and then got the second window ("the printer is not connected"/"the printer is offline"). If I try to get supply levels, through System Utilities, the information is not available. Does that mean the computer can't read/send data to the printer? When I try to open Printer Utility, I get the "Printer Error" message (last window) saying "there are no registered printers. Add a printer..." But I've added the printer several times, after downloading the proper software.
I reset the printer system. When I added the printer back on, it came up with the old information:
P.S. From the first time I set up the printer, about a year ago, it always took much longer to read a document and start printing than our almost identical printer at work. That one invariably starts printing (on a PC) within 2 or 3 seconds; mine, on the Mac, takes at least12, often more.

A few days ago I finally upgraded my iMac G4 (Flatpanel) from 10.4.9 to 10.4.11. I had not printed or scanned anything since then, but today I needed to do both, and they don't work. I think it has something to do with the upgrade because they were working just fine before that.
The printer is an Epson Stylus 777i
The Scanner is an Epson Perfection 640U
What could have changed, and how can I get my Mac and peripherals to work together again?

My Samsung laser printer used to work fine with the OSX driver but now it doesn't even print. The job is sent to the query but then the job disappears a few seconds later and nothing is printed. Same goes for the printer on my brother's new macbook, Panasonic printer with OSX drivers installed fine and the print job is sent to the quere and the job disappears but nothing prints.

I have a Mac Pro early 2009. I'd like to build a setup that allows me to use the 64-bit kernel.
The question.... do printers need 64-bit drivers to work under 64-bit kernel?

I cant use most cameras, printers, etc. I thought it was compatible with hp printers but when i hook the printer up, nothing comes up. Same with cameras ( cannon , Nikon , kodak , etc ). Why is this? Is my mac messed up or is the mac really not compatible with these things? Also It says my printer is offline. How do i get it online?

I had read an article explaining how to configure a Windows 7 PC to print to a shared Mac printer (in Snow Leopard, but I assume it's the same in Lion).
So I shared the printer (an IP printer) on my Mac, then followed the instructions to add LPR Printing to Windows 7. I went to 127.0.0.1:631 and saw the CUPS page on my Mac, and the setup the LPR port on Windows 7 with the IP address of my Mac and the Queue name listed for the shared printer in CUPS. Unfortunately, when I enter the port info and click OK, it comes back with the error page listed in the article.
I've tried this on two different iMac's (a new 27" and a much older iMac with Snow Leopard). I also used three different Windows laptops (Windows 7 and Vista), and all three gave the same error. Basically, when I setup the LPR port, it cannot "talk" and confirm the settings with the Mac.
I've turned off Windows Firewall, tried basically everything I can think of (and I'm a tech, so I've tried a lot!). Anyone successfully printed to a shared Mac printer from a Windows 7/Vista PC?

I just bought the Epson WF-2540 on the apple website but It seems it's not supported by mavericks. it's not detecting the USB cable, it's not detecting the scanner... no sign of getting driver updates also...
Is there a way to make it work or do I have to bring it back to an apple store?

My HP CS5200 all-in-one prints fine under Snow Leopard but OS X doesn't "see" the scanner. I need that scanner. I have been meaning to get a Wifi-enabled printer so this appears to be a good opportunity to do so. A few searches for all-in-one printers and Snow Leopard reveals that there are a lot of issues out there. I'm hoping to go out and buy something that works right out of the box today. What models/brands do you guys have working on 10.6 in scan and print mode now?

I connected my imac to aiport express and the airport express to my wireless network and to my printer.
The light on the airport express device is green and the computer suggests I am connected to it.
When trying to print, though, i get a message that the printer is off-line, and in addition, the wireless network sometimes drops altogether.
