Printer problem after upgrading the Mac HD disk

After replacing the Mac HD on my Mac Pro, and copying all the "old" data from the "old" Mac HD using Migration Assistance, I cannot print. Getting "communication error". Re-installing drivers does not help. The printer is a Canon MF4350d connected over USB. Is there files somewhere (USB drivers?) that may affect this issue. Or can how can I delete all (Canon) printer drivers and make a clean install?

First, make a backup of all your data or you entire system. Then you will follow the instructions in the link below to erase the Yosemite volume and reinstall Yosemite from scratch. After assuring it is working properly you can restore your third-party software from original media. Be sure the software is compatible with Yosemite. Finally, restore your data from your backup.
Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • Printer Problems after upgrade to Lion

    Does anyone have this printer problem after upgrading to Lion. A perfectly functioning laser printer on my network prior to upgrade - now the network seems to drop the printer and show it as "not connected" approximately every 30 minutes ???

    Hi Paul,
    Been away and just got back to this issue.
    Thanks for the info. The OKI site has now posted a list of all their Printers and their relative drivers for compatibility with "Lion". My machine is due an updated driver from OKI in Mid Decmber according to this notice.
    Meanwhile, as the printer does work with some tweaking I guess I will use the work around until the new driver is available. My legacy printers that i use for special jobs both work and as I do not have the disks for their drivers I am loathe to re-set the printer system at this time.
    Thanks for your assistance in this issue.
    Regards,
    Mike, Rustington.

  • Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

    Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

    Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.

  • Printer problems after upgrading. My kodak esp 5250 says it has the printer head jammed. Reloading the software let it work once. Obviously an interaction problem with Lion. Any ideas?

    Printer problem. Since installing Lion my kodak esp5250 all in one says the printer head is jammed. It isn't. Reinstalled software and it worked once but still gives printer head jammed message. Any ideas?

    Only the obvious one: do you have the latest driver, and does that cope with Lion? Kodak's stated requirements include this, which is slightly suspect. Obviously an interaction problem with Kodak?  Try exploring whatever help Kodak have.

  • Problems Problems after upgrading to Mac OS X Lion

    I upgraded my mac os to Lion last week on my Mac air.  After loading, my norton could not work probably. Then last night, files in my start up disk doubled and hence error appeared - that my disk is full while I only used 50% of the storage capacity.
    This morning my iphone 4 also appeared to be have the SMS messages and photos and every files also appeared to duplicate itself.
    Can anyone assist ?

    After loading, my norton could not work probably.
    Does Norton ever work properly? 
    Norton is a known troublemaker, and most likely the version you have is incompatible with Lion.  You could try updating Norton, but personally, that's one I'd remove immediately and never come near again.  If you feel you need AV software on your Mac, the only thing I would recommend wholeheartedly is ClamXav.  Sophos' free home AV software would be my second choice, though with some reservations, as I've heard of people having problems with it.
    As to the doubling files problem...  can you describe more precisely what you're seeing?  I've never heard of such a problem before.

  • Printer problem after upgrade to OSX Mavericks

    Help!!  My Canon MX310 printer  no longer works after I upgraded to OSX Mavericks.  Does anyone else out there have the same problem or point me to a potential solution?  Thanks

    First and probably the most important is go up to your Black Apple uuper left and do the Software Update. Double check that your plugged in to the USB port on your Mac. Restart the Mac and you should be good to go. Iwould also go to Canons web site and make sure there are any New Drivers for Mavericks.

  • MacBook internection problem after upgrade to Mac OS 10.4.10

    Hi,
    After I upgrade my MacBook to Mac OS 10.4.10, I am problem with my wireless internet connection. Before upgrading the OS, my internet connection worked fine. But after the upgrade, the MacBook lost the connection every other minutes. So, I have to manually click on the wireless icon to connect it. I have tried to reboot my modem and router, and still have the same problem. I tried using my wife's macbook with Mac OS 10.4.10, the connection is fine. So, I am wondering what is the problem?? Please help.

    My MBP airport connectioin was very inconsistent. It wasn't until the Airport Firmware was updated and subsequent OSX updates that thyings stabilized and I thought I saw the end of those issues.
    It has been stable for the longest time, once I updated to 10.4.10 it started the same intermittent connection problems again.
    I was planning to switch to Airport Extreme base station and did so the other day and now I have no issues, extended range, and a much stronger signal.
    I am not suggesting to go out and buy a new airport. I actually think that whatever they changed in 10.4.10 regressed backwards and Apple will correct it in a future update.
    If yuou cannot wait for that, call Apple support and share your experience and they might send it up to a Support Specialist.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having problems with Lightroom 2 under Mac after upgrading to OSX 10.6.3. For example when I'm trying to export long images sequence, it does freeze the Lightroom and I have to Force Quit it.
    Someone recommended me to rebuild index however my library is over 900GB (!) huge and I don't want to spend another day or so rebuilding my library. Any suggestions?

  • Font problems after upgrading the OS today

    I upgraded this morning to 10.6.3. After upgrading:
    In Keynote and in Pages several fonts (10 or more) like Cochin, Optima, etc. are not useable any more. If I open a document all characters of a text written in these fonts have changed and compressed in one place in the textboxes. Keyboard layout of the keys is also destroyed. If I change the font to one which is ok , the text is ok too. Disabling the font or changing the fonts in question is the only way to go now.
    The preview of the first page of a document in finder for those fonts is still correct. Also the display of the font in the font-program is correct. If I cut and paste text to a different program, the text will be display correctly for the fonts in question.
    This seemed an internal problem of iWorks. Help wanted.
    regards
    esser

    Welcome to the discussions, f.esser.
    There are two things I'd try, first, to see how large the problem is, create a new user on your computer and see if there's a problem with those same fonts under that user. If not, that indicates that something under your main user has been installed that affects that usage. If you still see problems under the second user, then it's a deeper OS problem.
    Second, reinstall iWork from the disk. If it's a minor problem with iWork and the new OS, performing that, then updating to the latest iWork should fix it.

  • N73 - Another Problem after upgrade the firmware t...

    Except the slow contact search problem (solved by Unplug the battery), I still suffered from some application install problems.
    1. Whenever I restart the phone, a message 'Installing' always poped up, and the phone not responding for around 2-3 minutes. And then an error message 'Unable to complete ....' prompted.
    2. The K-Mobile Client application losted after upgrade, and I tried to reinstall it , but resulted error by 'File corrupted'

    Usually that annoying installation process in the beginning can be removed by deleting that installation file in MMC>\Private\10202dce . Most of them does not have the real title of the application. To delete the right one, you need to go to the application manager first and look at the title of the application that cannot be installed nor removed. Ones you know the titles, plug in ur phone to ur computer and browse MMC>\Private\10202dce , some title of the applications from the application manager should be listed there. Delete whatever you find is listed "not installed" in application manager (app cannot be installed or removed), but first make sure to make a backup of it somehow just in case you make an error. After you delete the file/files restart ur phone. The annoying installation process should not appear anymore. Note that by just removing that file may not fully remove the files it created. For advice, if you install applications in ur phone make sure you have backup of them stored in ur computer so that if the installed applications in ur phone stops working properly all you need to do is to reinstall using the original/backup sis files.

  • Canon printer problem after upgrade.

    Upgraded iMac to Yosemite 10.10.2.  Now my  Canon printer LPB6000-LPB6018 does not respond to print request.  Even tho the printer is fairly new, I have forgotten what the procedure was in setting it up with Maverick that came with the Mac.  Can it be set up again?

    Also make sure you have the latest drivers, Apples latest for Canon is v3.1, should be available through auto update on App Store - if not you may have to go to the Web Site direct and download.

  • Printing problems after "upgrading" to Snow Leopard

    Under Leopard my two printers (HP Deskjet 970 Cxi and Epson Stylus Photo 2100) worked just fine.
    With Snow Leopard the quality of the prints with the two printers is simply bad. The print-driver is: gutenprint v5.2.3 even an upgrade to gutenprint v5.2.4 did not make any difference.
    When printing a test page with the Epson Stylus Photo 2100 the printer simply pauses during the print somewhere along the test page. When the printer is started again (green button in the printer window) it starts printing from the beginning again and pauses again. Useless!

    Eric,
    For the Deskjet, I'd suggest using the Leopard drivers (off of the Leopard DVD). They will give you much better quality printing, although you'll have to deal with lack of features printing from 64-bit apps. The easiest way to work around them is to print through Preview an force Preview to run in 32-bit mode.
    The other option would be to install the [HPIJS|http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macos x/hpijs] drivers.
    Just trying to help.

  • Printer problem after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    My trusty HP Deskjet 1200C printer keeps giving an error now I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (on the way to Lion for iCloud). I checked for an upgraded driver on the HP site but there doesn't seem to be one after OS 10.6
    I am getting this error - PrintJobMgr failed
    Any suggestions welcome and advice for what will and won't work with Lion.
    Thanks

    Try to restart, see if problem still happens.
    If it does.. remove printer (and other periferals) from the computer and do an SMC reset. Also unplug your printer's power as well to rest it too.
    Also, do a PRAM reset.
    Let us know how it goes.
