Printer error 100001 when Mac prints to shared printer on Windows 7 (64bit)

by marktompsett . Updated 15 years ago

I have a Windows 7 (64 bit) PC with a Kodak ESP 3250 printer which is shared, and I am using a Macintosh to print to it. When the Mac tries to print something, I see that the job starts on the Windows PC but then it throws an error message “KODAK AiO Printer; Printer error 100001; The printer may need attention. Check for problems at the printer” and on the printer itself I see “Printing….” and the progress bar is rolling, but the document never actually starts printing.

The Windows 7 PC has a fixed IP address, is not using HomeGroup, and allows access to shared resources without requiring authentication. It has LPD Print Service enabled, and the Mac is trying to print to the printer using the lpd:// protocol. The printer share name contains no spaces or other odd characters (eg underscores, etc)

What could be wrong? I am baffled.
