After Loading Snow Leopard, printer sharing no longer works

I have 3 macs in the house. Printer sharing always worked until I loaded Snow Leopard.
Now the 2 remote macs just continually say "looking for printer". The primary iMAC prints fine.
I've doubled and triple check the preferences on all 3 machines.
Please help!

Deleting the printer queues didn't work for me. What did work is deleting the print preferences (anything with "print" or "Printer in the name in user/library/preferences) and deleting anything in the user/library/printers folder on both machines. Then I setup the printer again on both machines. Also, I noticed printer sharing was on on the machine I was trying to share to, so I turned it off, not sure if it matters.

  • Font not working after loading snow leopard.

    My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard.  Is there any way to fix this?

    I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
    <http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
    and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
    If you want to check it with Font Book, use  File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
    For the real font, go to

  • After loading Snow Leopard, Firefox has become extremely slow. I have reload FF but no help. Suggestons?

    After loading Snow Leopard, FF is extremely slow loading web pages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF but this did not help. Any suggestions?

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Print sharing no longer works

    Just got a new iMac 2.93 GHz.
    We have a HP Photosmart 8150 hooked up to it.
    Now print sharing does not work.
    It worked fine with the G5 iMac we had previously.
    Both iMacs are/were running 10.5.6
    Any thoughts?

    I stupidly installed CUPS. That was the problem. The only fix was to install the OS again.

  • After installing Snow Leopard I can no longer "save photos on computer" after inserting a memory stick to an HP Photosmart C5180 All in 1                                                                                           Photosmart C5180 All in one

    Hello,
    When I insert a memory stick into my HP Photosmart C5180 All in one and I try to "save photos on computer" the printer reads: "You need to install device software". This all started happening after I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac 10.6.8. Can someone please advise on what I need to do?

    Typically it's a good idea to uninstall any devices attached to the Mac before doing an upgrade.  This prevents problems that can be caused by the upgrade.  Below are the instructions for uinstalling and reinstalling the printer.  I'm also going to include a link to the full feature software and drivers for the printer.  Let me know what happens.

  • Entourage crashed after loading Snow Leopard 10.6.7 update

    I installed the Snow Leopard 10.6.7 update yesterday and immediately Entourage would no longer function properly.  None of the folders (inbox, sent, drafts, etc) are visible and the options at the top of the screen do not work.  Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

    I had a similar problem and solved it.
    Mac book (2010) 10.6.8, Printer: Xerox Phaser 8560.
    It started when I did a printer driver update.
    I'd print and then it would take 1-2 minutes just to get a print dialog box. -Frustrating.
    My console had some strange msgs about printer not authenticating and job not responding.
    So I deleted the printer, created it again using bonjour to find it, and changed the driver from the auto-selected driver(my printer model) to Generic PostScript.
    Now speed is back to immediate and it is printing fine.
    I suspect the manufacturer's driver is engaing something that is not compatible with the system.

  • After installing Snow Leopard several apps don't work anymore

    Be aware: after installing SL you will find that Flip4Mac doesn't work (a beta upgrade must be downloaded). I have Speed Download as download manager, but I had to reconfigure it because downloads were not automatically redirected to Speed Download. MPEG Streamclip complained that the MPEG2-decoder wasn't installed; I had to redownload it from the Apple Store.
    Wish Apple did a better testing before distributing

    And further mentions:
    If you already upgraded to Snow Leopard
    You have to reinstall or restore your MPEG-2 Playback Component.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of your System folder, then open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder, enter Time Machine and go back in time until you see the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file; select that file and then click Restore.
    If you purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store, then you probably still have the DMG file that contains the installer. Use Spotlight to search for "QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg": if you find a file with that name, double-click it and then in the disk image, double-click the installer package for Intel Macs.
    If you purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store but you can't find the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg file, you can download the file again from the Apple Online Store if you remember the Apple ID used when you originally purchased it (if you forgot your Apple ID then go to Apple iforgot). Visit the Apple Online Store, click on "Account" in the store menu, then click "Downloadable Software Purchases," enter your Apple ID and password, and click the link to the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component to download it again.
    If you obtained the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the installation of Final Cut Studio, then you can reinstall it again from the Final Cut Studio DVD. Insert the DVD and use the Finder's Go menu > Go To Folder... command to get to the /Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/ folder inside the DVD. Locate the QuickTimeMPEG2.pkg or the QuickTimeMPEG2Pro.pkg installer: double-click it to reinstall the MPEG-2 component.

  • Print Sharing No longer works.  Any Help is Appreciated

    I've got an Epson Stylus Photo R800 plugged into a Power PC G5 via Firewire. The G5 is connected to both a wired Netgear router and to an Airport. I've enabled Printer Sharing.
    My wife's PowerBook suddenly seems unbale to find the printer. I've tried adding the printer again without success. Nothi8ng has changed except for the two recent Apple security updates which apparently deleted a critical CUPS dat file on all of our Macs. I replaced the file with a back up and got the G5 working again via a direct Firewire connection. I can get the PowerBook to print when directly connected via Firewire, but not over print sharing.
    I'd be very appreciative to anyone that might lend me a hand.
    Thanks!

  • Printing Password NO LONGER WORKS with Snow Leopard!

    Ive searched this forum and most people have the opposite problem I do. They want to disable password requests when printing, but I want them!
    With Leopard, I was able to set up our networked color printer on every mac and students who logged in with their Active Directory accounts would then try to print but fail because they weren't part of the user group that were allowed to print to our color printer. When the password screen showed up, all I had to do was type in my account name and password, and the student's work would print. This was perfect for our lab set-up so we could supervise printing.
    However, with Snow Leopard, this feature no longer works. The password box pops up but it doesnt matter what name/password is inputted, anything will print. By anyone. Yikes. My IT is not too happy and Im trying to find a way to fix this.
    I saw Kiraly's tip on using Server Admin tools but it didnt work for us. Error 14071 something.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It could be falling back to Kerberos authentication, where passwords aren't needed every time. I'd suggest telling your IT people to disable kerberos on the Windows Server. If Windows is allowing users to access services with the wrong username and password, then that bug needs to be sent to Windows as a security vulnerability.
    Otherwise, if they narrow it down to a problem on the Mac side, tell them to submit a bug to Apple.

  • Pages wont work after installing snow leopard

    After loading Snow Leopard sometime later I discovered that I can't open pages.

    How did you install Pages? Copying from another hard drive doesn't work as a rule. It is best to reinstall from the original media.

  • Hard drives damaged after installing Snow Leopard :(

    After installing Snow Leopard all software seemed to work fine. Then I found out that e-sata doesn't seem to work well with Snow.
    I've tried two different e-sata cards, including CalDigit's FASTA-2e, which CalDigit claims works fine with 10.6.
    My external enclosure appeared and immediately gave me a kernel panic. I tried several times with different working drives and now they are all heavily damaged. Kernal panic after kernal panic, I am noe having a difficult time accessing the data.
    Now here's the strange part...after going back to Leopard 10.5, my internal drives all seemed to be infected as well. After using Disk Warrior and apple's disc utility, I got those working ok.
    What could be going wrong here? I installed Snow. It was fast. But it wasn't worth it...at least not yet.
    If there's anything else I might be doing wrong or any way to fix these drives now, please let me know.
    Thanks all!

    It seems that Sonnet is not yet compatible with Snow Leopard either. That issue was covered here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2114442&tstart=0.
    Anyone know if RocketRAID eSATA for Mac works with Snow? Apple sells it...

  • Unable to print on HP J6480 after installing Snow Leopard

    After installing Snow Leopard I've been unable to print from my HP J6480.  I get an error message saying to check for updates from Apple and the manufacturer.  Apple shows no more updates.  I've added a printer driver v2.6 from Apple, but that hasn't helped.  Had no problems printing before this.  Any suggestions?

    Never mind.  Just went to Hewlett Packard site and the suggestion was to reinstall the printer.  I did so and it now works.  Of course, the reinstall wiped out other printers I had on there....Adding Snow Leopard has resulted in much more work than I thought it would be!

  • "Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly" error message after installing Snow Leopard, C410 printer

    Can't get printer to print after installing Snow Leopard.  C410 Photosmart Premium All in One Printer.  Keeps saying "Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly".  Wireless test says everything is fine.

    If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Restart your Mac
    Download and install this: support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Now reset the printing system:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    Finally, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
