Problems with stopped HP Print Jobs on Mac OS 10.5.

I have several Mac Stations with different Mac OS X versions (Mac OS X 10.5-10.7) and bought 2 HP Laser Printers:
- HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw
- HP LaserJet Pro 200 M276nw
After installing the HP Driver SW on all Mac Stations I changed then on the Printers the dynamic IP address to static ones. The printing didnt work anymore from the Mac Stations. I re-installed all Driver SW on every Mac Station. Then Printing worked on every Mac, except only on the Mac OS X 10.5. Station the Print Jobs were always stopped after any Print attempt.
This appeared on the Mac OS X 10.5. Machine in the Printer Spooler Job Message Window and within the error_log File content:
- can't create PictWPSDoc from `/private/var/spool/cups/xxx'.ERROR during execution of pictwpstops. Error number -9783
As it seems like problems existed with file permissions I ran a complete Disk Utility File Permission Repair. Then another reinstall of the HP Driver Packages. - Still the same failures with stopping Print Jobs.
Then I read the README file of the Installation Package. And the quite simple solution was:
DE-INSTALL the HP Driver SW FIRST (with the HP Deinstallator), BEFORE RE-INSTALLING the HP Driver SW again.
So I did this, then no Print Jobs were stopped anymore and both Printer are happily printing.
The conclusion is, I guess, Mac 10.6..10.7 does not have problem with multiple re-installation of the HP driver SW. Only the Mac OS 10.5. did NOT work anymore after another reinstall of the Driver SW Package, and without de-installing it properly. The bottom line is to de-install the driver SW (and maybe disk repair) properly BEFORE another insallation wants to be done. This however solved my printing problems on the Mac OS X 10.5. machine.

Problem with fonts while printing PDF in MAC OS

I have PDF file. It contains Cyrillic fonts and looks OK on the screen in MAC OS
But during printing all labels are presented wrongly and not readable. I have tryied two options:
1) Opened PDF in built-in MAC OS Viewer
2) Downloaded and installed Acrobat Reader and printed from it
Printing results by both methods are different, but in both cases text is not readable.
Attaching screenshots (part of laptop screen) from laptop screen and printing results (scanned paper sheets)
Printer: Cannon MP560 (with standard driver version 10.84.2.0)

Max,
Try Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X and go through each step. You can probably skip step 1 as it's already displaying correctly. Good luck.

Usb for 1510 all-in-one printer causing problems with it accepting print jobs

I am having trouble downloading the driver for a 1512 all-in-one printer. It was working for about a week and it is not working now. I loaded the suggested driver 1510 all-in-one driver but when I get to plugging in the usb from my Windows 7 laptop to the printer, it does not feel it is connected. I can print items that I scan but am puzzled how it will not print. The only thing I have deduced is I need a new usb cable. I bought on ebay as I've always had good luck with hp products.
Sparky325

I decided that in spite of the fact that it had previously printed, I got another USB cord and used that and then the printer worked. The one I received with the printer must have been too loose to make a connection. This one feels snug when i need to print from my laptop. Thanks for your help. Sparky 325

Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well. Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up: After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image. How do I disable this function?

Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

Cannot print due to a problem with the current printer

Cannot print (anymore) due to a problem with the current printer is the message I get every time I try to print something out. I tried to reinstall the printer's software, I changed the cables, but nothing happened. It seems to be something related to the printer setup utility. Any big idea on how to solve this? I was printing without problems until this afternoon. I have a HP Laserjet 1022 and sometimes I use Adobe Acrobat Writer. None is currently working.
Thanks for any help.

- We have some problems, one of them is:
odm fsm [341]: XSAN FSS 'VolDocs [0] ' : Invalid inode lookup: 0x7f80000000007e0 markers 0x0/0x0 nextiel 0x0
This message is always in the log. We stop the volume, and start cvfsck -wv, but dont have anything, how fix it??
- Another problem is with AFP service, suddenly the service stop, and the error is :
mds [58] (error) Server: Mach error queueing checkin to peer manager: (ipc /send) invalid port right.
-What of the meaning of (ipc/send) invalid port right??.
And the last error is:
-com.appelAppleFileServer [347] MDSChannelPeerRequest: (ipc/rcv) timed out.
Need Help please!.

I dont know what happen, do you help me please?

Stopping a print job under reader

After staring a print of a document under acrobat reader, there is no way (that I can find) to stop the printing. Started printing a form and did not realize it was 6 pages long. I only needed to print the first 2 pages - not all the instruction pages. Adobe acrobat reader's print control closes after the print task starts and doesn't allow stopping the print job. And shutting off the printer responses can save themselves the trouble of responding with that answer.

The print spooler wasn't available when I wanted to stop the print job. Apparently adobe reader doesn't operate in conjunction with the print spooler app under the Windows 2000 OS.

Problem with countinuous paper printing in dot matrix printer

Hi All,
I have problem with dot matrix printer (Devise Type EPESCP) while printing continuos printing. If i am printing 2 or more than that prints at a time, 2nd page is printing 5 lines up.

Can any one help me.
Thanks,
Vishnu

Hi Vishnu,
Above you have the following commands:
set line spacing 6 LPI
\e\0x32
set page length 86 lines
\e\0x43\0x46
46 HEX = 70
So the above settings mean 70 lines at 6 LPI = 11.66 inches.
So is the paper length 11.66 inches? If not, you should adjust the settings accordingly.

Aidan

Problem with the MVMapView.print(printMapDiv,) function.

Hello,
I have a problem with the MVMapView.print(printMapDiv,) function.
My FOIs are displayed correct on the screen but on the printed letter
the stroke(border) color and the labels of a circle are not displayed.
the fois have a custom style:
var xmlDef = '<svg width="1in" height="1in">'+
'<g class="marker" '+
'style="width:40;height:40;stroke:0xff0000;fill:0x00ff00;stroke-width:1.5">'+
'<circle r="20"/>'+
'</g>'+
'</svg>';
markerStyle = new MVXMLStyle("my_vector_icon_" + i + '_' + j, xmlDef)
and are created like this:
v_result = new MVFOI(p_geofeature.foiId, p_geofeature.foiGeomertyObject, markerStyle, null, 30, 30);
v_result.setHTMLElement('1',0,0);
Browser: I can see the map with a green circle, a red border and '1' as a label on
top of the Circle.
Printed Letter: I see the map with the green circle but no red border Color and no label.
The implmentation of the printing function uses the same techique like the "Oracle Maps Tutorial"
It is a javascript function called through a href link:
function mapPrint()
var a=document.getElementById("printmap");
global_gdi.mapviewer.mapview.print(a);
Version is Ver11_1_1_5_B110527
Does anbody know how to print the map properly including the contents of the
MVFOI class set trough setHTMLElement function?
Greetings
Andre

Thanks for your reply but it is not working and i can prove that.
I have a small example based on the mapviewer print tutorial. To run it you need a
mapviewer installation and copy the text into a html file. In the browser you can see
a green point with a red border and red label text on a map.
If you use the print button everything except the label text will be printed.
I think this is a mapviewer css-api bug.

Print problem with Reader 11.0.10 on Mac

My Wells Fargo account requires Adobe Reader for PDFs, so I downloaded Reader 11.0.10 to my Mac. Now when I try to print files that Preview printed flawlessly on a HP LaserJet 2200dn, all I get is two blank pages. What needs fixing—Adobe Reader, Mac OS X, the LaserJet driver?

Hi John,
Please try printing some other PDF with the same printer and then check.
In Reader, go to File> Print> Page Size & Handling (Multiple) and uncheck 'Print on both sides' option.
Let me know if this sorts your problem.

Problems with Epson R2400 printer and Mac

I'm a photographer and I switched to an imac a while ago. When I tried out my Epson R2400 printer, it worked really awful, comparing to when I used it with PC. I still haven't managed to fix these prolems. The printer menu is diminished (less options, many inaccessible in grey), there are problems with print density, with color adjustment, what I see on my screen is not what I get on my print (a black and white photo in grayscale mode can appear almost light blue when printed), there are even alignment problems (centred photos appear closer to the left edge of the paper). And I don't have a clue why all this is happening. The printer driver I installed is apparently the latest one. So I don't know where to go from here. I have installed and I use the profiles of the specific papers I'm using, but the results are NASTY. Please help.

By the way, I have read the links under "More like this", but those threads don't seem to clarify my question. Originally I had installed my Epson driver from the original (old) Epson CD. When that didn't work I uninstalled and installed the newer Epson driver from the Epson's site. Doesn't work and the problems I'm having are the ones I mentioned above.
