View 4 RepliesI am trying to set uamsung clx2160N as a standalone network printer on my home network. It is a printer with standalone network capability and is connected directly to my router and has a static IP number. We have a few Windows computers at home and they had no problem detecting the printer, installing the drivers and working. Unfortunately my Ubuntu computer recognises the printer and I can even access it's setup and diagnositcs through its IP number. However when I try to add it as a printer, drivers for it cannot be located. #ve tried setting it up three ways:1. Using Samsung's own setup package - finds printer and all the details it needs to work but offers no drivers2. Using Ubuntu's printer setup - recognises printer but stalls at Searching for Drivers dialog3. Trying to *** printer using CUPS - no problem finding and recognising printer, but when I come to search for the driver I get Internal Server Error.
I have of course been trying to do all of these as root. That's the limit of my knowledge reached and searches on the net aren't helping me either. The printer works fine directly connected via USB, so the drivers are on the computer somewhere. How do I get them set up to use the printer on the network?
I give up.. after an hour trying to get my HP 7600 to network connect
My main box is usb connected to my HP Photosmart 7600 and works fine, my daughter has her winxp box connected to it over network as well. My wife's Ubuntu box (same OS and version as mine 9.10) CANNOT connect in any way, shape or form. I've tried every protocal, port, helper program (hp-setup, cups local webpage etc..) and nothing. I have the printer shared.
why connecting to a network printer in the same OS and version would take so much work?
Also we're all on the same network, & subnet with no filtering or firewalling in between the boxes.
*resolved* After trying everything else I restarted cups on the box the printer is attached and everything mysteriously works.
I am attempting to connect a CentOS VMWare VM to a networked Brother HL5170DN printer. The printer is located at 192.168.0.101. It is available and I can connect to it with various Ubuntu and Windoze VMs.
I have searched for instructions on how to do this and it SEEMS rather simple. However, it does not work. Here is what I have done:
System; Administration; Printing to launch the printer configuration wizard
supply root password New Printer Provide printer name, description etc. Select Connection - LPD/LPR Host or Printer Hostname - 192.168.0.101 supply a printer name again select Brother HL5170DN BR-Scripts3 from the footmatic database complete creating the printer
The printer appears as a local printer, however, I cannot print a test page. Nothing happens when I click the button to print a test page. I can ping the printer by IP address. So I deleted the printer and tried again.
At the screen which asks for Hostname and Printername I entered the printer's IP address in Hostname as I had done before. I then clicked the Probe button. At this point Printer configuration freezes and I have to do a force quit.
I just tried the same thing on a physical CentOS 5.6 box - just in case the problem was a VMWare thing. Same symptoms. Probe freezes the Printer configuration program. I then recalled that the printer uses port 9100. I opened 9100 on the firewall (I think) but no improvement. I temporarily disabled the firewall and went throug the proces. I now have the printer defined at "socket://192.168.0.101:9100" and recognized as "Brother HL-5170DN BR-Script3"
I still cannot print a test page. I tried to print from gedit and it shows the printer with 1 job in the queue. The gedit print bumped that to 2 jobs in the "printing" state. Looks like I am communicating with the printer. Just not printing.
I've bought a HP Photosmart printer, HP Photosmart wireless e-All-in-One printer - B110a and i've got a problem installing it properly. I'm using Debian 6.0 Squeeze. When i connect the printer, Debian doesn't recognize my printer as the Photosmart B109 printer for unknown reason. When i go to the site of HP and search for a driver, it directs me to this site:I've downloaded that latest hplip file as a .run file and installed it. My printer is recognized proparly, but when i try to print a colored image, it comes out black/white. Something is not crrect. Does anyone recognize this problem with this type HP printer?

I shared the printer with samba and can print from a Windows XP notebook connected to the network, but whenever I try to connect a Windows 7 machine, I always get the message that Windows cannot connect to the printer.

I have problem in installing the printer, no matter add printer in local network or Windows Printer via Samba.
The summary is as follow:
I have download a printer driver and had installed but got error when I tried to printer a test page.
I'm trying to add my Samsung SCX4500W printer to my opensuse 11.2 machine running KDE.From Yast->Printer->Add printerI am able to set the printer up, however there is no driver for my specific network printer. Samsung does provide a linux driver but I have no idea what I'm doing when installing peripherals on linux basically
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a network printer which is on a windows domain/workgroup. Earlier I use to connect to the printer with URI socket://10.x.x.x:9100 and it worked fine. Then I after some time the going got tough and at the moment I am not able to print.
Initially I thought that I need to upgrade CUPS and even downloaded its latest version (did not installed it though).
My trouble shooting started with the ping then telnet followed it. Following is the output of telnet
Code:
****@linux-rafr:~> telnet 10.x.x.x 9100
Trying 10.x.x.x...
Connected to 10.x.x.x.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
****@linux-rafr:~>
I tried to telnet by turning off the firewall but no good. Hope someone has a solution to this issue.
BTW when test page print job is viewed in CUPS the following is the message.
Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
I have shared my cpl-300 from my windows 7 machine to my network, so that may print from my linux laptop to it.
Now whenever I go to system -> Administration -> Printing and try and browse for my printer it asks for a username and password any username or password I enter that is on the windows 7 machine gets rejected.
So I tested to see what would happen if you used smbclient to view the shares available from the windows 7 machine, unfortunately it results in another permission error. The funny thing is I can mount a share using "mount -t cifs".
i would like to print to my home printer via the internet. printer is connected to the router directly by ethernet and i have a static ip address. i also have a static ip for the printer on the home network. how to set my netbook up to connect to the printer via the web with the info i have printer is a hp photosmart c5180 and afaik it is capable of using ipp. how do you route to the printers ip.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to direction here: my laptop (F10 gnome) is cat5 dhcp connected to a dlink 524 router with IP 192.168.150.1. This in turn is connected to an arris modem with ip 216... Local IP is 192.168.100.1 (default). It works, connects to internet, supplies dhcp address to dlink. All this is upstairs in my ham room upstairs. My wifes laptop downstairs usually connects wirelessly to the dlink, and hence to the arris. Also works to the internet. There is a linksys (ddwrt software) running as a wireless repeater also located downstair, with box ip 192.168.1.1.
It is "joined" to the dlink router via wireless, hence it function, wireless repeater. It works, I have used it like this many time. However, I cannot seem to get a connection to the Brother printer (which has a print server function). It is connected to the linksys repeater via a lan cable. Gets an ip via dhcp. I think it should work, since my wife can connect to the linksys repeater, either wireless or wired, and surf the internet thru the dlink router via the repeater-dlink wireless repeater link. I must be missing something obscure (to me, at least).
Printer directly connected with opensuse 11.2. we cant able to add printer in windows xp if wee add the system says the following error:
Function address 0x2c7d5e4 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0x0000005) The application property sheet page(s) may not function properly. And the system says acces denied unable to connect and the windows system hanging and says error report.
I can connect to the internet through wifi, but I cannot connect to anything on my network. I have a printer and a NAS, so I would really like for this to work again. I have a dell laptop with a Broadcom card.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1545, and have an HP CP1215 laserprinter that I'm using as a network printer by connecting it to the USB port on a Belkin Play N600 router (model F7D8301). The printer works fine from the Macs on the network with Belkin Router Management installed, but I'm unable to get the Ubuntu/Dell to see the printer. When I plug the printer directly into the Dell with the USB cable, I can print, so I know the driver is correctly installed. Is there a way Ubuntu can print through the router? Does the Dell/Ubuntu need Belkin Router Management installed, and, if so, how?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHaving made the transition from a certain widely used operating system to linux, suse 11.2, x64, successfully and pleasantly we are still left with a few problems.One of these is a few applications i have to use which run only in that old OS. ?To that end I have installed VirtualBox and got them to run with one glitch. I cannot print from VBox to my HP LaserJet 4000, lpt1 printer, which works fine in suse. Searching and posting on the Vbox forums turned up that lpt1 is not supported in the current vbox and that I need to set up a virtual network, set up the printer as a network printer and set it up as an lpd/lpr printer in Vbox WinXP. Have tried many different ways to do this without success, I think the problem is I do not know how to set up a network printer in Linux.
The virtual network is vboxnet0, which does show up in ifconfig, along with my eth0 net, and I can ping the windows guest, gateway and the host from either side host:suse/guest:winXP) respectively. Have tried numerous ways of setting up printer in YaST which works in suse but still does not work from WinXP guest. Have read the suse manual and several sources and searched forums with no results.Finally I am thinking I just don't know how to set up a network printer in linux. Using cups, kde, suse 11.2, don't know what else to tell. Samba is installed, although I am not using it to the best of my knowledge.
I have just got my network to work on Fedora, and now I have run into an new problem... I can't access any shared files or printers. The computer that has the printer and the files I want to access runs windows XP Home edition, and when I boot into XP on my machine, I can access the files and printer. Can this be fixed, or is Fedora incompatable with Windows XP in this case?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Xubuntu 10.04 on a desktop computer. Everything works fine aside from the fact that I can't access my Dell 3010cn network printer. The printeis accessible and work flawlessly with every other computers running XP, Vista and Ubuntu 9.10I installed the drivers and configured the printer with the exact same parameters as on my 9.10 laptop. The thing is that the printer is always "offline" as if my computer could not connect to it. Also, when I try to acces its options via its fixed IP adress (192.168.1.107) through Firefox, I cannot reach the printer. However, the printer responds to every other computer in the house.What am I doing wrong? Is there a firewall in 10.04 that keeps me from accessing to the printer?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased an hp 3050 printer because of it's wireless functionality. I found this (click me) where someone got it working. I tried to follow it step by step, but I couldn't get the ad-hoc network to work reliably.
I used the network manager to locate the printer's ad hoc network (it correctly identified it as ad-hoc) I then edited this connection, made it a "Link-local only" network in the ipv4 tab and then connected.
Usually what happens is that networkmanager claims that it has connected. I get a signal strength and everything, but I can't actually communicate with the printer. I entered the ip address (into firefox) given to me by asking the printer to print it's network settings, and I don't get a response.
Notice that I said "usually". I've tried this many times, and one time, I actually connected to the printer, got the browser interface, tried to use the interface to connect the printer to my wireless router, and failed (then the browser interface didn't work anymore [which of course would make sense if the printer tried to connect to the router, but I don't even know if I got far enough into the process for that to be the problem]). The printer does not show up as a device on my wireless router (my router has a list of all devices that are logged into it), so it failed somehow. I have never been able to duplicate that "success" again in spite of the fact that I've used the printers control panel to reset network defaults.
It seems that the people who were on the questions forum had no problem connecting the ad-hoc network. I kind of suspect that there is something wrong with the printer's wireless device.
PS: I noticed that hp-setup has an option to plug a wireless printer in via USB, set it up then it should work wirelessly, however, I couldn't get that to work with this printer.
I have a desktop and a laptop connected by ssh (Places>Connect to Server). This works OK for file sharing but the laptop does not recognize the 2 printers attached to the desktop machine. As I understand (??) it, if the 2 printers are set up as 'shared' in CUPS (as they are on the desktop) then they should be recognized by the other machine on the network. But this is not happening. Is this the right way to network printers?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf this does not qualify as a network question, move it wherever it needs to go.House sitting for a while and they have a Dell 1700N printer on the network. The printer shows up under then Computer->Network->Dell laser printer 1700n, but that is all. Looking under properties just gives me a location of network:///. Cups cannot seem to find it. It would be nice to be able to use the printer. Owners are out of contact for quite a while.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently fixed an annoying problem and I thought it would be nice to share my solution here. The problem was that after a cycle of suspend/resume, Network Manager would only auto-connect to the same network as it was previously connected to. So, for example, if I suspended my laptop at home, and then I went to school and resumed it, it would try to connect to the home network, and then just give up. It would not connect to the school network unless I explicitly told it to.irst, I'll describe the fix. If you're having this problem, you can this. Copy the following:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

I have used ubuntu in the past but had a lot of hardware issues with it and unfortunately moved back to windows (( BUT i have tried Ubuntu again and all seems to work great except wifi My wifi connection is sort of working because when i run SUDO IWLIST SCAN it does pull up all available networks. But in the network manager icon on the panel i left click but i see no networks and can't connect to anything. I WOULD LOVE TO keep Ubuntu and use it permanently but I must get wifi working or else this won't be possible.

This network is still in place, only now I am using ubuntu I haven't got a clue as to how I connect to this network,or if it is even possible at all! how I would go about printing over the network when the other computers on the network are all windows machines.
