Windows 7 windows 7 netbook printing to imac based printer

[forschreiber]

I have an Asus 1005ha netbook running Windows 7 starter that connects fine to my airport express network. The netbook finds my Canon iP5000 printer which is connected to my imac with a usb. The imac connects wirelessly to my network. I have updated the driver which shows up, but I can not print. I have tried running the printer through Bonjour for Windows but can not complete the process due to a message of "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer."

I also have an Epson cx7400 which is connected directly to my airport . . . no luck there either.

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

It seems like you are encountering issues with printing from your Asus 1005ha netbook to your Canon iP5000 printer connected to your iMac and your Epson cx7400 printer connected to your Airport Express network. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve these printing issues:

Canon iP5000 Printer:​

1. Share Printer on iMac:
   • Ensure that the Canon iP5000 printer is shared on your iMac. To do this:
     • Go to System Preferences on your iMac.
     • Select "Print & Scan" or "Printers & Scanners."
     • Right-click on the Canon iP5000 printer and enable printer sharing.
   []Check Permissions:
   • Ensure that the network sharing permissions on your iMac allow other devices to access the printer.
   • Verify that your Asus netbook has the necessary permissions to connect to the shared printer.
   []Bonjour for Windows:
   • You can try uninstalling and reinstalling Bonjour for Windows on your Asus netbook. Make sure to follow the setup instructions carefully.
   []Driver Installation:
   • Reinstall the printer driver on the Asus netbook. Sometimes, simply updating the driver may not resolve the issue.

     Epson cx7400 Printer:​

   []Airport Configuration:
   • Check the configuration of your Airport Express network to ensure that it allows printing to the Epson cx7400 directly connected to it.
   []Network Recognition:
   • Make sure that the Epson printer is correctly recognized by the Airport Express network.
   []Driver Installation:
   • Install the correct driver for the Epson cx7400 printer on your Asus netbook. Ensure that the driver is compatible with Windows 7 Starter.

     General Troubleshooting Steps:​

   []Restart Devices:
   • Restart all devices including your netbook, iMac, printers, and the Airport Express to refresh the network connections.
   []Network Connectivity:
   • Verify that your netbook is connected to the correct wireless network and has internet access. A stable network connection is essential for printing.
   []Firewall Settings:
   • Check the firewall settings on your iMac and Asus netbook. Ensure that they are not blocking the communication between the devices.
   []Test Print:
   • Try sending a test print job from your Asus netbook to see if the issue persists. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the printing issues you are experiencing with both the Canon iP5000 and Epson cx7400 printers.
