Can't print from AppleWorks

I have a template I set up in AppleWorks several years back to print addresses on Avery-type labels. I just tried to print one, but nothing happened. I looked in the printer utility (Canon iP90) window, and the job appears there, but says "Stopped". I clicked the Resume button there, and nothing happened; I clicked the Resume button again, and a dialog appeared: "Operation could not be completed. client-error-not-possible".
I created a new AppleWorks WP document, with just a few letters typed in it, and tried to print it; same result: it appears in the print utility window as "Stopped".
Finally, I tried making a PDF of the document I want to print, opened it in Preview, and tried to print it; the first couple of times it just fed the paper through without printing, while this message appeared in the print utility window: "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed". The third time the same message appeared, but it printed (on test paper). The fourth time, I put the label sheet in, and it printed as normal, without the error message.
Maybe there's something screwy about the printer software -- though I've had no problem printing from other applications. But I do recall having trouble printing from AppleWorks before; I think since I moved to 10.5. Has anyone else had problems printing from AppleWorks?

Thanks for the responses. I don't have time at the moment to make further tests, but I also have a Canon MP610, and will try printing to it when I can. I "moved to 10.5" some time back from 10.4 by erasing my HD and installing fresh, as I usually do with major upgrades, then downloaded the latest drivers for my printers from the Canon website. It may be that the driver for the iP90 is corrupted, though as I said I've had no problems printing from other apps, e.g. TextEdit, Preview. I don't print often.
I expect to be moving up to 10.6, now that the font problems have apparently finally been solved, within a week or so; from Apple's list of printer drivers for 10.6, it appears the one they have is newer than the one on the Canon site (v.10.30.3.0 vs. 10.26.1.0), and I gather that 10.6 installs only the drivers needed (rather than the whole gigabyte package) so I'll go with that one and see how it works with AppleWorks.
Of course, eventually I'll have to move out of AppleWorks entirely, though I still wish it had been properly updated for OS X, rather than replaced with iWork, which may be very slick but lacks much of AW's sophistication and ease of use.

  • Can't print from Appleworks 6

    My wife's computer is a G4 Sawtooth, running OSX 10.2. Printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R220. All of the sudden, we can't print from Appleworks word processing. When we try, the printer window from the Print Center says that it's opening communications with the printer for a bit, but after a short time stops the printer and quits trying. The thing is, we can print from MS Word. Also, this computer is networked to my G4 ibook (10.3.9), which has an Epson Stylus Photo 825 attached. Using printer sharing, I can print through Appleworks to the Stylus 825 from the Sawtooth.
    This is a sudden onset problem. Yesterday she could use the R220. Today she can't. I've tried reinstalling the printer driver, with no effect.
    At about the same time, in what may or may not be a related problem, I stopped being able to print from either computer to my HP laserjet 4050tn, which is on an ethernet print server. Reinstall doesn't help.
    I had an intel mini whose harddrive died attached to the network. The mini is still out for repair, but I've also used both of these printers successfully since the mini was disconnected.
    Any ideas?

    Sudden onset of problems is a sure sign of corrupt preferences. Printing problems are among many that may be cured by deleting the AppleWorks preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more information.

  • MFP M127fn connected, test printing OK, can't print from applications

    Hello Everyone!
    I have just set up my M127fn via USB on a Windows 8 system. The set up went fine. I have a small stack of test pages from the HP software, but it won't print anything from any applications like MSOffice. The HP diagnostic software (Print and Scan Doctor 4.6)  can communicate with the printer and everything checks out OK.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello! 
    I have replied twice to your last posting, but have heard no response. Unless a solution can be presented quickly, I fell I must return the product. LPug and play was introduced with Windows 95 and this HP product has not lived up to that 20 year old technological standard. My previous replies are copied below.
    Please respond soon.__________________________________________

    Hello again!
    I haven't heard a response to my most recent reply. Is there anything you can suggest before I give up and return this HP product to the store? I would like a quick resolution to this. As an update to my previous email (copied below), printing is no longer working through Adobe Reader.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Can not print from preview after Lion Update

         I can't print from preview since I updated to Lion. After I hit command P or select print from the file tab preview totally freezes up and gives me the spinning wheel of death until I force quit preview. I have no issues printing from anything else, such as word, excel, web pages.  So I don't think it's a printer/driver error.  Help?

    I would still mention what printer you have and make sure you have the latest printer driver.

  • All of a sudden I can't print from Firefox. I reinstalled the printer and also reinstalled Firefox. No joy. I can print from Safari.

    I have an IMac, OS X 10.5.8
    I've had it for more than a year and have always been able to print from Firefox without a problem. I have an HP deskjet 6850 printer.
    Now I can't print from Firefox. When I hit print, I get the dialog box but if I click print -- or even click "preview" nothing happens. The dialog box disappears and nothing prints.

  • Should I  be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1?  My iPad can't find the printer.  Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

    Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1?  I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer.  But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago.  Suggestions??

    Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it.  So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
    There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s

    After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s.  My iPhone 4s and iPad continue to print.  When I try to print to either printer, the message reads,"contacting printer," and then, "preparing to print."  But nothing prints.

    Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

  • HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310.  Can't print from iPad iOS6.  They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses.  On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133.  Can I match them? H

    I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310).  They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses!  The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133.  That's the only difference I can see.  Is there a way to fix this?

    fyi:
    you put periods between the numbers.
    Each device needs a unique number.
    for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary.  192.168.1.x
    the numbers you have look ok.
    Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes.  poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
    cross fingers.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

    How can I print from my iPad through my Mac Book Pro which is connected to a printer?  I was told I could do this when the iPad and Mac Book Pro are synched together.

    No.
    Printopia (running on your Mac) connects the iPad to your printer.

  • How can I print from my ipad2 to my hp6210 all in one using printopia...I can see the list on my ipad2, I select the printer and say print but nothing happens.

    How can I print from my ipad2 to my hp 6210 all in one using printopia? I see my printer on my iPad, I select it and say print and nothing happens. The printer is connected to an older Mac with OS X 10.4.11 but I do have an imac in another room. I have trouble printing from the iMac to this printer also even tho share is on but the printer works fine with the old Mac it's connected to. My iPad has the latest iOS.

    A few things to consider.
    The computer Printopia is loaded on must be powered on and must be able to print on the printer that is being shared.  If the iMac is having problems printing to the printer it could indicate a problem with the share setup.

    How can I print from my iPad to my HP OfficeJet 6600 ???? I can't see the printer ?????

    Your printer is on the list of printers that support your print.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    You may have to do a firmware update.Many HP printers require an update to their firmware before Airprint can be used. Check the HP website to see if a firmware update is available for your model printer.

  • How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer?

    How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer. 
    ....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

    Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
    I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
    It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.

  • How can I print from my Kindle Fire HD?

    How can I print from my Kindle Fire HD?  I have an e-printer (HP Photosmart 7510 C3lla e-All-In- Onew series).  I can print from my Apple I-Pad but cannot determine if/how I can print from the Kindle Fire HD.

    Android devices do not support built in printing liek airprint on your apple device, so you will have to use the HP Eprint Home and Biz app in order to print from that device. It is available for free in the Amazon Market.
