As a company full of techies we know how important a well supported product is. To overcome instances where Windows networking does not allow for you to print, one option is to use the Unix-native Line Printer Daemon LPD protocol for printing to the Windows machine.
By default Windows does not come with support for sharing printers via LPD, so you will need to install it by following this procedure Windows XP. At this point the system will install the print services, so follow any onscreen instructions to complete the task. Then ensure that the Windows printer is shared, and for compatibility ensure the printer name only contains alphanumeric characters with no spaces.
It will also help to get the Windows computer's IP address, which can be found by looking in the Network control panel, or by right-clicking the network system tray icon and getting properties. I disabled sharing on the other printer thinking the PC might have been confused. I'm trying to set up a shared printer on windows. I followed these instructions and aside from a few things that weren't the same as explained I'll go into further detail below , everything went fairly smoothly.
I was able to add the printer and print a test page, but when the test page came out, everything was mirrored. I blurred the printer information because I just grabbed the image off the net and reversed it. The printer information on the image had nothing to do with my own printer. Now about the things that were slightly different than in the steps from the link above: Step 4: there was no usb printer item in the list, but the printer name DID show up: HP Deskjet Series usb, so I selected that Step 5: I did not have to enter the URI manually.
I think by selecting the printer name in Step 4, it automatically entered the URI of the printer. I've done a lot of fiddling around and just can't figure it out. The driver I'm using on the windows machine is the drive directly from the HP website for my specific HP printer.
So, I've joined my home workgroup I think? I've searched and searched and cant for the life of me get this printer working. 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 LanierLD We halso have an HP 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 LanierLD 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'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 LanierLD via my wireless server connection? I've followed the instructions on the Apple website in relation to adding a Windows shared printer to a Mac [URL] but I still can't get it to work.
When I send a test page to the printer it appears in the Windows print queue and shows 'spooling' as the status. The document never prints. I really don't know where to go from here, I'm just totally stumped and I've been trying for weeks to get this to work. Has anyone got any ideas? Just wonder if shared Printer which is connected to Mac Pro Mavericks Thus, I am able to print to this device from any of the Macs.
How can I access this shared printer from the Windows device? I can't determine an IP address because the printer doesn't have one. I have my printer connected to a PC with Windows 7. I have 3 PC's that can print to it over my wireless network. But for some reason I can't get the MBP to print.
I have tried many methods and they have all failed.
