[ubuntu] Can't print wirelessly to DLink Print Server

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – All right, this is driving me nuts. I have an HP Color LaserJet cm1312nfi connected to the ethernet jack on a D-Link DPR-1260 wireless usb print server - so the print server acts as a wireless bridge. I can't get any Ubuntu box to print to the LaserJet. Windows XP and Vista laptops on the network print to it just fine. In Ubuntu, I add the new printer - Ubuntu detects the network printer, identifies its model, and says it's installed correctly. But when I print a test page or anything else, the queue just says "Pending" or "Processing" and hangs there. I've tried doing AppSocket/JetDirect and LPD setups, with no luck. I have also tried plugging the printer into one of the USB ports on the print server and setting it up in Ubuntu to go through the print server instead of directly to the printer's IP. No dice. Any help is appreciated! (HowTos)

I have a Netgear WNDR4500 wireless router which allows me to print wirelessly to a printer connected to it via a USB cable.

D-Link DPR1260 and Ubuntu 10.04 2 years 47 weeks ago

Just installed Ubuntu. It's my first experience with Linux. Everything works great except I can't seem to get at my printers via the D-Link DPR-1260 Wireless print server.

I go though the printer setup dialogs to set this thing up as an LPD printer, and I end up with a "Device URI" of

lpd://192.168.1.12/deskjet5100

[ubuntu] hp laserjet 1020 3 years 34 weeks ago

I'm having trouble with my HP Laserjet 1020. I'm running Karmic beta, but had the same problem under Jaunty...

If I plug the printer in, it seems to install fine. It uses the Foomatic driver. To print, I have to uncheck "sharing".

Hi everybody,

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm trying to print via my old HP Laserjet 4L over the network.

Hello everybody,

i got this problem with my printer, but it seems really a problem a lot of people are having.

i have ubuntu 10.04, and run on an parrallel port a hp 6l. the printer was found but could not print, the printing documents were pending and then disseappered.

Now i have connected a hp laserjet 8100 DN on the parrallel port.

This is hard for me to admit this; however, I need some help. :redface:

I have cups and samba set up on an old laptop as a printer server. The printer is an Epson Stylus NX215. The laptop is running Xubuntu 12.04.

My Linux computers can print to it without any problems.

I can connect to the laptop and add the printer in both Windows 7 and Vista.

I have done some searching, but I have not been able to find an answer for this specific problem. I have a Dell 3100cn connected to my network. I would like to be able to provide a print server running on Ubuntu that would enable my daughter's ipad to print to it.

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 print server set up hosting out multiple printers to my end users. I would like to change the naming convention for all of the printers hosted on the print server and want this change reflected on the client end.

For example: I have a HP4000 printer named "Cottage" on the print server.
