Communications error while trying to print

I am unable to print to my Epson R380 after installing Leopard. The printer is set up as a Bonjour printer using a airport extreme. The paper will load and print starts but stops after a line or two prints. The error given is a Communications Error. I have tried printing photo's from Lightroom, Abobe Elements, Text editor and MS Word. The same results with all.
Thanks,
Jim G.

The good news is that you have done everything right so far.
In the process you reset the printer system so you have an empty box with no printers. Just like when you got it from the store. Basically you have to install the printer just like you did the first time you used it.
In the printer & Fax dialog box click the "+" beneath the empty printer list and start adding your printer(s) back in. You should find them under the "Default Printer" tab if the printer(s) is plugged into your Mac. Just click what you want mounted / installed.
It might seem odd but Henry's process shouldn't have actually deleted any of the drivers from the system. Especially yours because you have a driver that is built into the operating system.
As for the Print prefs folder, it just had the ... Personal printing preferences you might have set such as setting default paper to "Glossy" or default paper size or Black and white instead of color or Roll feed instead of sheet feed. You know ... all those options you have when you want to print something.
I think you will be OK. It might be a good idea to shut down the system, plug in the printer(s) and restart the system so OS-X knows they are there.
I have about 5 printers and while it's tedious to have to re-mount the printers after a Print system reset, it does seem to clean up everything, inclusing old pending and failed print jobs that might have been the problem to begin with.
If that doesn't work, post again with the results or messages and we'll see if we can figure it out.
Good luck!

    Hi!
    I am facing the same problem.
    There is one more finer detail to this. When I print the report
    in defualt mode it does not give the error. It is only when I
    generate the report in character mode and print it. I get this
    error.
    I am working on this.
    If Any one can help please write back.

  • Unknown error while trying to print PDF

    I keep getting an unknown error when I try to print a PDF. The message is "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem" followed by a note pad popping up filled with this: 
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%

    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    I the service chat pointed me at this link: Error "...The Adobe Print Engine has failed..." | Print | InDesign |CS, CS2, CS3 but none of those solutions solved the issue.
    What I have tried:
    Restarting the program and computer
    Renaming the file
    Going into the program setting as the link suggests
    In the meantime I will use the PDF presets to make PDFs.

    Presumably you have a good reason for wanting to print PDF instead of exporting? For troubleshooting tips, see Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other

  • Error while trying to print a doc

    Hi,
    One of our Hyperion Essbase user is facing the below issue.
    Trying to print something in Word and cannot print because of this error message.
    "Object has been deleted"
    I saw this in one of the links "Object has been deleted" error message in Word 2010
    But I am not clear on which are the registry entries which needs to be deleted. Can anyone please help on this?

    The thread refers to registry entries for smart view, even after uninstalling smart view you will see that some registry entries are not removed so you need to remove those entries before installing smart view again...
    while deleting anything from registry make sure you are not touching registry entries other than smart view...
    Thanks

    HI Larry,
    You have helped me before i remember with a whole iphoto NiGhtMaRe!
    As i said to leonie i have solved it by deleting all the previously saved photos and then it worked.
    After which i formatted the card as per your suggestion and everything seems okay.
    It was all overdue. Leaving that many photos on one card was stupid.

  • "communication error" when trying to print on an EPSON Stylus Photo R360

    I have set up the printer on my n-basestation. It's visible through Bonjour. All drivers are installed, and Macbook Pro restarted. But, when I try to print my mac gives a "communication error" and nothing happens on the printer.
    I then installed Gutenprint (V5.0.0), deleted the printer in Print Setup and re-set it up using this driver. But, now it just spits out many many blank pages. A manual shutdown of the printer is the only way to stop the post-massacre of a rainforest.
    What do to? This is very very frustrating...

    For the record, I have successfully been able to print with the printer connected straight to the Macbook.
    Is the new 7.1.1 firmware going to do magic?

    AJC MAILTRIGGER STH Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-03113 (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtExecute)

    An ORA-03113 error would mean that the connection to the database no longer exists so any attempt to get the error message from the the database would result in an error. I think the real issue might be why was the session interrupted.
    03113, 00000, "end-of-file on communication channel"
    Depending on the front-end tool a pointer error or failure to properly terminate a string could result in corrupting the message to Oracle.
    There have been numerous bugs over the years that have resulted in this error message being returned. I notice that the Oracle version, platform, edition, and client tool set are not mentioned in the post. All this would potentially be important information for someone to recognize what might be the problem.
    I would look very closely at the code " at hcommon.pm line 1277 "

  • Error while trying to Change an Infosource

    I get the following error while trying to change an Infosource. I am not able to get to the change screen and it displays the following message 'Infoobject MPVPOPR not available in the Active Version'.
    I did the following to try and debug the issue...but with no luck..
    1) I checked for the Infoobject MPVPOPR and did not find it anywhere (Metadata, Transport Connection, Infobjects)
    2) I am able to load the data using an infopackage into the ODS.
    3) Communication structure and all is Active...
    I just cannot get to the Change Screen for this Infosource and it displays the error 'Inobject MPVPOPR not available in the Active Version'.
    Please provide any Suggestions
    Thanks and Regards
    Andy

    Andy,
    For the confirmation whether your infosource contains MPVPOPR or not.
    Just goto RSA1 >  InfoObjects > search MPVPOPR > double click on found > there is an option "Where used" , just click and check whether your infoobject is present in the infosource or not.
    And let me know for the solution.
    Thanks
