Network Printing with a Canon ix4000
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 2:16 am
Hi,
I am having some difficulties printing from a mac to a canon ix4000, via a windows xp machine.
It prints wonderfully from the XP machine, and I have managed to set up the printfab driver on the mac and print a successful print test page from the printfab toolbox.
I have tried printing small images using this setup and the result is incomplete images... just an inch or so and then the printer spits the paper out and asks for more paper so it can do the same again.
I checked the manual, and tried re-adding the driver on the mac using the HP Jetdirect and LPD protocols (I originally added it as a windows printer) , but I could not send anything to the printer using those. I tested the ping command as suggested in the manual and got these results :
34 packets transmitted, 34 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.199/1.272/1.610/0.095 ms
When I set up the LPD type protocol, I used lp0 as the queue name.
Hmm... I'm not sure what else there is to tell...
The windows pc is connected via network cable to a wireless router, and the mac connects wirelessly, signal strength seems fine.
That's about it, hope you can help!
