Do you have Printer Sharing enabled on any computer connected on your home network?

There are just the 2 systems, imac and MBP and neither has had printer sharing and when I was going through all of the checks on the iMac, when it was still operating and before it failed, it didn't matter if it was on or off. I tried both and they were the same.

I would assume that the printer being connected directly to the router via the RJ47 ethernet cable the same as the 2 Macs it was just another item and available to anything on the home network as long as they have the driver for it.

Thanks for that.

I was just wondering, since the were all ethernet connected, if the iMac took precedent in controlling the printer functions, because Printer Sharing was enabled?

You are welcome Bob. I don't imagine that either had precedence over the other. Just first served and the other has to wait?

Ta again for all of your help.

Is the message showing in the Default Printer menu significant maybe? See if anything else listed there - ie, the correct name of the printer.
Is the dock showing the printer in use? Try another print and open from the dock, maybe there is a job you can cancel.

[B]bingopod[/B], welcome to the mac-forums, but as a fairly new member, I just thought i would mention you might want to note the date of the post you are replying to, as in this particular case, the last time it was active was over 6 months ago.

I would imagine they probably have their problem sorted out by now, but I just thought I would mention it.

Hmmm...??? Not exactly an exciting or an original fix... shutdown and reboot. A good solution for many problems I'd say...

Hi, I used the finance assignment help and needed to print my essay. The printer did not print, and I decided to write this post. The printer may not print due to many reasons, both technical and software. And here the user is faced with two options for resolving the issue. The first is not to try your luck and immediately call the master, or the second is to try to find and fix the breakdown yourself. It is for the second category of users in this article that we list the main reasons and options for their solution.
