Printing problems in Lion - Broken pipe

I am having problems with printing from Lion, particularly to some HP printers in my office network. I have tried removing and then adding the printers, have tried printing with JetDirect, as an IP, and just letting Lion decide. The jobs seem to be sent, but never make it there. Below I've posted a screen capture of the most recent error I receive. One other interesting problem with one of these printers is that despite the fact that it is a duplexing printer, I cannot select the two-sided option in any of the dialog boxes that come up from any application I've tried so far (the selection is grayed out). That includes Acrobat Pro, Preview, Word, Illustrator, and a host of others.
Advice welcomed...

Thanks for your quick response.
Regarding queue name, in my case I think is correctly configured, because I can read it in the IPP request (Something like this - //ip_address:631/printers/PRINTERNAME) on log file, but I didn't paste all entries in this post due to its size.
I already suspected in backend ipp binary, because I found more people reporting similar issues with it and mostly because in Windows is working without any problem and in my cups error log I had this two entries that seems to me some kind a bug:
Backend returned status 7 (unknown)
printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp failed"
Seems that ipp is returning an unknown value for some reason.
I have tried to downgrade ipp binary, but I didn't find a previous version that works correctly in my environment.
unfortunately, my router only supports ipp, In past I have tried with success LPR but with other router and other a HP printer through parallel port.
Best regards,

HP 5200 printing in Mountain Lion -BROKEN!

What to do to print on an HP5200 laser printer in Mountain Lion – on a 27" iMac, wirelessly via an Airport Extreme?
It worked flawlessly on Lion, plain vanilla variety.
Sometimes I get NO printer response; mostly I receive a warning declaring . . . “The software for the printer was installed incorrectly. Would you like it repaired?” Of course I select “Repair”. It then works for one document only, followed by an identical error for the next printing request.
I have reinstalled the 5200 – 4 times! – via SYSTEM PREFS > PRINT & SCAN > OPTIONS & SUPPLIES . . .
"GENERAL" lists a ver 18.4 Driver
"DRIVER" merely cites Tray, Collating characterists, Disk etc. nothing about a driver
"UTILITY > OPEN PRINTER UTILITY" lists as UNKNOWN everything except the Driver Version
I checked with HP’s murky help site. It declares that HP has NO driver available for any OSX subsequent to Snow Leopard. Suggests: "Call Apple".
Called AppleCare. Apple’s Senior Tech didn’t so anything but argue with me that HP has drivers to fix the problem. I read the HP citation to her and she hung-up on me.
BTW: My HP DeskJet 970Cse functions OK in Mountain Lion.
BTW Nr 2: Anything in Safari 6.0 immediately crashes the 5200.

Try resetting the printing system. Follow these steps:
System Preferences - Print & Scan - Highlight printer on left panel - right click and choose Reset Printing System....

Printing problems with Lion and Lexmark T630

I have a Lexmark T630 b/w laser printer with USB and IP connectivity.
With 10.6.8 I could print happily over Ethernet to the printer from iMacs (wired), mini (wired) and MBP (wireless).
With Lion on one of the iMacs and on the MBP I can't print over Ethernet.
The print queue shows a job 'Supply levels' in the print queue and does not print.
The printer is activated and this job appears as soon as I select the print dialog in apps (not actually select 'Print', just opening the print dialog).
I moved the printer to be USB connected to my Airport Extreme and get the same symptoms, except the 'Supply levels' job prints a single line of symbols (mainly Spanish characters with some other symbols and ending in 2 smileys. It is always the same set of symbols, so I get this one line of junk on a page and then my print job prints. Note that the T630 has *never* displayed supply levels in any version of the OS.
The line printed is below.
This always happens from the Lion machines and does not happen from the other iMac which is still running 10.6.8, or from a mini which is connected on another network to the network port of the printer. The mini is also running 10.6.8.
I have downloaded the latest Lexmark drivers from Apple and also from Lexmark (same version of driver either way) and it makes no difference.
I can't find anything on the Apple Support site or the Lexmark support site.
It definitely looks like an issue with the printing system in Lion - both the phantom job and the activation of the printer as soon as a print dialog is opened.
Anyone have a fix for this?

The phantom print job will be a Postscript file to check the printer status. This process has been around since 10.5 but it usually is responded to silently by the printer rather than it sitting in the print queue. If you don't have the Supply Levels menu in Options & Supplies for this printer in Snow Leopard then it would suggest that Lexmark has changed the PPD for Lion.
So you could try creating another print queue on Lion but this time selecting the Generic Postscript driver included with Lion. This should let you print but provides few options. It it does work then at least you have an easy workaround.
Another possible fix would be copying the T630 PPD from Snow Leopard and replacing the T630 PPD in Lion. The PPD for both OS's are stored in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources. With the SL T630 PPD copied, you can open the CUPS web page in Lion and select to modify the T630 queue. From this page select the T630 printer and from the next page change the Adminstration drop menu to Modify Printer. You will be prompted for your Mac admin user name and password. After entering these details you see the first page showing the print queue. Select Continue and probably Continue again until you see the page where you can change the printer make and model. Here is also the section to browse for a PPD. Browse to the T630 PPD from Snow Leopard and then press Modify Printer. Now you can see if all that effort was worth it.

Lexmark printer problems with lion

I have a Lexmark E460dn monochrome laser printer that worked before I got my new MacPro (Lion). The printer is in a LAN at home and an iMac on 10.6.x can still print to the printer so the printer is functioning.
With this computer, I see the printer being looked for, then am getting an error of "Print file was not accepted" and then the printer pauses. I did a software update before I did the migration of data from an older Mac to this Mac Pro. The Lexmark drivers were updated to v 2.5. Apple support yesterday had no explanation or a fix. Still waiting for a reply from Lexmark.
I have deleted the printer, and re-installed it, but it didn't help. I plugged the printer directly into the left ethernet port (internet is in the right jack) and it couldn't find the printer. I took out the internet in the right ethernet plug and plugged in the printer and I again got the file not accepted.
I put the ethernet connection into the left plug and I got no ethernet available. Moving the internet back to the right jack and internet returned.
I connected the printer via a USB connection on the printer and got the same print file not being accepted. When I plugged in the USB cord from the printer into the computer, the printer woke up, so it sensed it was just plugged in.
My guess is that there is something wrong with the Lexmark driver update for Lion and an additional problem that I might also have a bad ethernet card that only works on one of the plugs (My old Mac had to be replaced because the only ethernet port went bad). I will call Apple support again about the bad ethernet port in the morning.

Lexmark gave a solution that apparently Applecare or the local service center didn't know about.
delete the old printer in the printer prefs
create a new printer using the IP tab (not what bonjour or other source might show normally)
enter the IP address of the printer
(would have to change the name of the printer from the IP address to the printer name)
Took less than a minute to get the printer working.
Must be something about Lion that behaves differently than previous OS X versions
I was told by local service NOT to run the DMG from lexmark for the Lion driver. The Apple update is sufficient.
Took six days of frustrating work, but finally have new computer running normally!!!!

IPP printing problems in lion

Hi,
I'm having problems printing through IPP to my HP LaserJet 1010 connected to a print server router linux based. If I connect the HP printer directly to my Mac, no problems printing, if I configure it using IPP to print in my print server router, I have the following errors in cups error_log:

It seems that it can get some printer attrs, but it isn't able to print the file.
It's important to point out that I configured a Windows Vista box to troubleshoot and printed a file without any problems.
I googled and searched in this community, for similar problems and I didn't find any success case. I've also tried out many workarrounds without success.
Best regards,

Thanks for your quick response.
Regarding queue name, in my case I think is correctly configured, because I can read it in the IPP request (Something like this - //ip_address:631/printers/PRINTERNAME) on log file, but I didn't paste all entries in this post due to its size.
I already suspected in backend ipp binary, because I found more people reporting similar issues with it and mostly because in Windows is working without any problem and in my cups error log I had this two entries that seems to me some kind a bug:
Backend returned status 7 (unknown)
printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp failed"
Seems that ipp is returning an unknown value for some reason.
I have tried to downgrade ipp binary, but I didn't find a previous version that works correctly in my environment.
unfortunately, my router only supports ipp, In past I have tried with success LPR but with other router and other a HP printer through parallel port.
Best regards,

Printing Problems with lion

Hi
I have Installed the drivers for our SHARP MX2600fn printer at work and i have configured everything the way it should be.
My mac find the printer, connects to it, and even goes through the spooling process. The printer starts to make noises like its working, but then the spooling gets to 100%, it just says finished but the printer does not print anything.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
many thanks
Kaato.

Reading your post it sounds like your printer may not support the Postscript printer language. This can result in the print job spooling off the Mac but not being printed if you are using a Postscript driver on the Mac.
As a test you could create another printer queue to the Sharp, but this time select the Generic PCL Laser printer driver. This will only print in black and white, but if it does print then at least you know that the issue is related to the printer not supporting Postscript.

Lexmark printer "broken pipe"

Greetings,
I have had this Lexmark Pro700 printer for couple of years. Just recently I needed to scan a document, the printer downloaded something way too fast for me to stop and after that I am not able to print. When I was able to print antyhing it did not print properly and then totally quit. The hardware is working as I can make copies, but I cannot print wireless or via usb cable. I tried Lexmark and they will offer support if I pay extra, despite my warranty. Anyway, the printer was on the network and 3 computers was able to print, now none of them are. Lion, Mountain Lion and a XP. The support & download site of Lexmark cannot be accessed in either computers. I did purchase a replacement printer and am able to print, but still somethng seens a bit off. Do I have corrupted files? How can I go about finding them? How canI repair teh broken pipe?
Also, the IP address in the printer is valid as we were able to access it. I tried to enter the ip address to set the printer up and still got no results. Help??
Thanks.
Miriam

I have been having the same problem! I have a Lexmark S505 Intuition. For awhile it printed wirelessly just fine. After several chats with the techs, no one seems to be able to help me! However, it seems from forums that it is a common problem.
I will send a print job to the printer. I will get a message that there is no communication. Then, I will "pause" and "resume" the printer and it will finally print. After a few jobs, though, I get a "broken pipe" message. I have gotten the most recent software and firmware updates, uninstalled, and reinstalled, etc. I don't know what else to do. It is still under warranty, but Lexmark wants me to pay for premium support, saying the printer works. HELP!!!!

HP 6510 stopped printing black and "broken pipe"

All of a sudden my printer won't print black. I did all the suggestions on your forum for this including hard reset, downloaded the new driver update to operate with Mac 10.9.1 Mavericks, uninstalled and reinstalled printer and the problem is not fixed. I also uninstalled and reinstalled all 4 printer cartridges. Mac and printer are both less than 2 years old. We bought them at the same time. Printer has been great until now but I'm ready to throw it out the window after already having spent hours trying to fix it. The other 3 colors are all working fine for printing. Once the new driver installed I noticed that the print options had changed and now the "broken pipe" message came up on printer and on Mac. I have always printed wirelessly. Please help!

Hi flytibbs,
I understand that you are getting a broken pipe error when reinstalling the software and drivers on your Mac. Here is a link to the Apple Forum where a customer resolved this issue.
For black ink not printing I recommend following the steps in this document for Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages. If you have done all of the steps in this document, then try installing the driver for the HP Envy 4500 series.
I hope this helps, let me know how it goes.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

I recently downloaded is x mountain lion and while it finished it erased all my data, some of which I need. When using disk utility I found my old data but it says corrupted. I can't repair and while restoring the error code 32 Broken Pipe appears. Help?

My data I need is on my computer but it needs to be repaired but can't and when I try to restore it/back it up it ends abruptly with error code 32 broken pipe.
It was damaged while installing os x mountain lion and I found my data on disk repair (utility)

Sounds like your hard drive is badly corrupted, likely due to problems that were already there when you started trying to install Mountain Lion. The problem is, if you don't have any backups already, you may not be able to recover all your data from this state. Do you have backups of that data already?
If not, I assume when you say that "it needs to be repaired but can't," you mean that Disk Utility tells you there is a problem with the disk, but that it is unable to repair it? If so, you can try repairing the drive using DiskWarrior, which can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. That may give you access to your data again, but may not.
Also, it's important to understand that if your data is not backed up, everything you do with the computer runs the risk of overwriting or corrupting that data. You may want to go straight to trying to recover your data. See Recovering deleted files.
Regarding the error code, if you're trying to back up the drive using Disk Utility's Restore tab, note that that is often not successful when the drive you're trying to back up is corrupt.
Once the situation is resolved - either because you have backups, are able to recover your data files or are forced to accept that they are gone permanently - you will need to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system and all your apps from scratch.

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))

3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer

Hi
Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer
Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
Best Regards

Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

Hi Arch community!
I noticed I have this problem and not sure when in started. Several months ago I bought and installed new videocard "GeForce GT 630". Right after installation I lost sound in the system. Having internal sound card (in mainboard) and SB Audigy2 (PCI), I searched for solution and found I had to disable "snd_hda_intel" module to restore sound to work through PCI sound card. Did it.
echo "blacklist snd_hda_intel" >> /etc/modprobe.d/no-nvidia-sound.conf
After that sound was working as it should. And I noticed recently that during playing of any sound file the sound interrupts. If run VLC from CLI I get "alsa audio output error: cannot write: Broken pipe" message. And my system hasn't been upgraded since I don't know when. I still ran Firefox 26. So googled again and found it's a bug in a kernel or somewhere else.
==========================================

I ran a system update last night, and this issue appears to have been corrected.
==========================================
And so I thought upgrade would fix my problem since mainstream bug is fixed. After upgrade sound interrupts again, maybe even more often.
Do you guys have this issue and does anyone have a solution?

Not particularly wise to blacklist the module, since it probably is also used by the integrated sound card. With vid and pid you could just disable the nvidia card alone using parameter enable=0. Unless you do not mind having both disabled.
Where do I need to input "enable=0"? When I was searching for solution to make my Creative card work with new nVidia card I installed, the only way I found was blacklisting the module.
dmesg says:

Printer problems in adobe cs5 mountain lion

anyone have printer problems in mountain lion with adobe cs5

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It works in OS X Mountain Lion, but there are some problems > http://roaringapps.com/app:4956
If you want more information, you can have a look at the Adobe website, where you will find more information about possible problems in Mountain Lion.
New computers come with OS X Mountain Lion, so this is the Mac OS X version you will have. Some users would recommend you to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on a virtual machine, but you will be wasting hard disk space and performance while its virtual machine is running

C7280 All-in-One - uploads hang at 12%, then 45% and prints one page at a time - broken pipe

Printing upload hangs at 12% then 45%, then aborts printing with error message "Stopped - Unable to print data. Broken pipe". Can this be fixed?
This question was solved.

Hi JGarner98,
A broken pipe error is a programming construct that is designed to 'pipe' data from point to point. From the description you have provided, it sounds like the operating system is telling yout that is has lost the ability to write date to the printer. This is generally caused by some sort of corruption in the CUPS printing system.
CUPS consists of a print spooler and scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data to a format that the printer will understand, and a backend system that sends this data to the print device. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. - Source
To fix this, I suspect the best approach is to reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to printing again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OKto confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-clickDisk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know if this resolves the issue. Thanks.
