How to get the MacBook Pro 10.8 to connect to LaserJet P1006 shared by Vista-based computer

HP Laserjet P1006 have connected via USB cable to the computer Windows Vista (SP2).

Prints fine in the windows box.

In vista, windows shares.

Try to connect the printer to a Macbook Pro 10.8.

HP1006 drivers downloaded from the HP website.

Tried to connect via SMB, as many websites has loaded. (Using the Advanced tab and selecting the printer from windows via spoolss.

When I print, I see the print job to start, but nothing ever happens. I have to cancel the job.

I also tried to activate LPD on vista and then connect a Mac using the LPD.  Similar results.

HP has a guide that guide a person through how to share a windows computer and then connect a 10.8 Mac to the windows computer to printing?

Something else which also confuses me, even if I installed the drivers 1006 on Mac, they do not appear when I goto Advanced-> use: choose a driver model or a printer.

Hello

First of all, that the drivers installed on the HP site?

The printer drivers for 10.8 non-existent Apple and not on the HP site, downloading the site exclusively for Mac OS X 10.5 or lower.

If you have installed a HP software, remember to delete following HP uninstaller or manually remove drivers by going to the library > printers and moving the HP folder in the Recycle Bin.

Next enter SDPP/happy/Resources. You can get P1006 in this folder and move the files to the trash.

Then, install the following package to have the printer drivers installed on your system:

http://support.Apple.com/kb/DL907

Once the drivers insalled, follow the steps below to try to add the printer manually:

  1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
  2. Choose Print & Scan.
  3. Click on the button + to add a printer.
  4. Press the control key while clicking on the icon 'Default' (or any other icon on the toolbar), and then choose Customize toolbar on the shortcut menu that appears.
  5. Drag the icon of advanced (gear) in the toolbar.
  6. Click done.
  7. Click on the Advanced icon that has been added to the toolbar.
  8. Choose the menu Type drop-down Windows.
  9. In the URL field, type the address of the printer in one of the following formats:

    SMB://workgroup/server/sharename
    SMB://Server/sharename

    Note: "workgroup" is the name of the Windows workgroup that the computer sharing the printer belongs. "Server" is the name of the computer sharing the printer (or its IP address). "share name" is the shared Windows printer share name. If the share name contains spaces, replace each space with "% 20" (without quotes).

    Tip: you don't need a "working group" when you specify the IP address of the computer (for example when the printer is on a different subnet), or if your Mac belongs to the same workgroup Windows (SMB).

  10. In the name field, type the name that you want to use for this printer in Mac OS X.
  11. Select the appropriate PPD or printer driver from the pop-up menu "with the help of Print."
  12. Click on Add.

Printer sharing is a feature of the operating system and not a feature provided by HP, still further it is more complicated and involve many aspects of operating system (e.g. advanced Options of sharing, etc.) while using such a device on a such different envoirnments, why HP doesn't provide any guide also and do not support such a task.

Hope you find this information helpful,

    The Macbook pro is detectable by the Bluetooth devices, but I don't seem to have an option to be able to detect the client devices.

    My macbook pro gives the possibility to be discoverable - mode client for example, I want to discover clients for example, speakers, headphones.

    My bluetooth speakers or headphones work fine on my Ipad so I know the beat headphones works well.

    The pro macbbook is detectable and I can connect by Ipad or phone for her, so I don't know the bluetooth on the Macbook works fine.

    Once coupled display in the area of discovery - and can be connected to.

    I think, basically, it means that the Macbook pro connects as a client - but I don't see an option to put in Server mode.

    How can I do so that it looks non-paired devices - I use 10.11.5 (15F34) attempts to connect to the Beats headphones.

    I have reset PRAM etc.

  • How to save the MacBook Pro Photo library

    I am eager to help a friend to back up its Photo library of his MacBook Pro on a USB key. The Mac will be erased once the process is complete. Can someone give me a step by step guide how to keep safe all the photos of his library is supported if she can transfer it to a new Mac?

    One option would be to use the Google Photos. You can download the Google Photos to your MacBook Pro and iPhone app, and it backs up all the photos. Don't have free unlimited storage so no need to worry about losing all of them.

    The Mac and the TV are connected, but what I get on the TV is simply on my desktop, it does not appear even the desktop icons that I recorded on my desktop and when I open the program it will not display those.  Any help on what to change to fix this would be appreciated.  Thanks Mike

    Then characteristic "Extended desktop" works as expected.

    System Preferences > monitors > reorganize

    ... show you how views are supposed to be placed on your bench. If this is not true, you can drag the icon associated with each view to organize. The mouse moves freely across the border between the displays and can drag a window with it. The implementation of extended desktop is so good that if you drop a window so that the half on each of the two screens, this scrolling window scrolls both portions of "the right way".

    If what you really WANT is mirrored, you need only check the box, however - screen resolutions can change something that both can achieve if you do this, so the results can be less than optimal.

    I agree with John T.

    When you say:

    Have you visited the mfgr of the video card. Web site, and then download and install the video driver very lasted from there? The reason why I ask, is that video driver problems are at, or very near the top of the list of the failure of PrPro to launch and the operating system or any utility driver, will be usually very bad by telling the user, if they have the latest version of the driver. The mfgr. The Web site is the definitive source.

    Knowing your detaisl material and especially the graphics card and its driver version, will probably be important.

  • What is the macbook pro last?

    Hello, I am a student and I bought my first Macbook Pro 3 weeks.

    I love it and was not able to get my hands on it since!

    So today when I came home and was about to check my e-mail, it happened suddenly empty!

    Black! I tried to reboot several times with different combinations, but not of chance that he will not go beyond the login screen.

    I got help from Apple and could activate in Safeboot but always lights in normal mode.

    I'm really upset because I was SO careful with her. He did not leave my room, I have same press as light as possible and put my mousepad touch click so I don't have to support as much...

    As I said though, I used it a lot, a lot of videos, making notes, websites, etc. etc. I don't turn a lot of nights and close the form.

    Y at - it advice or habits that I could make to my macbook it's bad for her?

    And how much time the macbook pro durent usually? I have 13 inch Retina display with mid-range ram and processor, so it was not the cheapest, it was one of the more expensive down 13 inches.

    I'm so afraid now because I'm a student and the death of my macbook on me in the future near or frequently (I only had it for 3 weeks) he's going to make things really difficult. So according to the pleading of your experience, I hope to upgrade to Apple Care or what not. They give you a replacement if it should be fixed?

    I was hoping that it will last at least 5 years, would be a great expectation?

    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    I have the macbook pro (OS 10.6.8) and the iphone 6 s. The latest version of iTunes is 11.4. When it is connected to the MAC, I get the message that itunes must be upgraded. How to synchronize or import/export files(images/music)?  Fact is need to update itunes?

    Hi sonalnj,

    I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.

    According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.

    iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
    http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/

    Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.

    Now the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.

  • I have the macbook pro (OS 10.6.8) and the iphone 6 s. The latest version of iTunes is 11.4. How to synchronize or import/export files(images/music)?  Fact is need to update itunes? Also you can sync ipod touch?

    iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

    Did you look in the user manual?
    This doc is always pre-installed on laptop and provides useful information. Also how to connect a TV and use simple notebooks ports.

    A hint; You must use an s-video cable to connect the laptop to the TV.
    Then use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between display devices.
    Sometimes the special s-video option must be enabled on the TV.

    I would recommend consulting the manual of the TV also.
