Samsung CLP-550N won't print with OS 10.4.6

My Samsung CLP-550N color laser printer worked fine on my LAN until I updated my OS to 10.4.6. Now, when I spool a print job to the printer, after two seconds the print activity monitor indicates the job is on hold. It further states that the printer is "busy."
The printer works fine with an iMac running OS 10.2.1.
Samsung has emailed me what they call their "10.2" driver which they said would resolve the problem. It did not. Has anyone gotten this printer to work with 10.4.6?
PowerBook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have Samsung CLP-500 Color laser printer (version 4.0/157), driver version 1.7, running under 10.4.6. It works.
For your model: is that what you have?

Duplex printing on a Samsung CLP-550n

I'm running a MacBook Pro with Leopard and have been printing (one-sided) quite happily to our networked Samsung CLP-550n. But, I can't print duplex, the option is greyed out in the printer dialogue box yet from other macs around the office its possible? The default on the printer is set to long-edge binding duplex printing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Alright, it really was a coincidence. However, the printer is using up way too much toner, the text is all blurry. I've already lowered the quality to draft, but it's not enough.
This printer is known to use a lot of toner, but not that much. I had to adjust some settings under Windows, too, to reduce the consumption, but it wasn't so bad that the writing was blurry. And I can only adjust the quality in Linux, I didn't find any other options to play with.

Samsung CLP-550N wont print...

I have 3 printers installed (all network printers) and two of them work perfectly.
The third one is a Samsung CLP-550N (PostScript, connected via Ethernet). It prints fine when accessed from other (Windows) computers in the net.
On my MacBookPro, the print queue goes to "stopped" immediately after sending any print job, no matter which application it was sent from. Clicking "Continue printing" has no effect. Printing the same Documents on one of the other printers installed works fine.
What I could figure out:
- It makes no difference if the printer is installed as Bonjour-Printer, as IPP-Device or as LPD-Device)
- It makes no difference if the Driver provided from www.samsung.com or the "Generic PostScript Printer" Driver is used.
- Reinstalling the Printer has no effect
- Resetting the printing system has no effect (including all the hints like deleting preference files as seen on this forum)
Any ideas?
Thanx, Chris.

I just got the answer from another discussion. Paul Hillman received a response from Samsung and the solution worked for me. Search the discussions for "Printing jobs stops after installing Tiger, Samsung CLP-550N" or read on:
From Paul, "I just got a note back from Samsung in one day. If the printer is hooked up via ethernet, and the postscript driver is installed, go to system prefs/ printers and fax, add printer (the '+' button), choose IP icon at top, protocol choose LPD, put in the IP address of the printer, Lower down under print using: choose samsung, then the model number should show up, select it, hit the add button.
You can get the IP address from the printer's display (see manual) or if you installed the bonjour printer that stalls you can still hit the utility button in the set up printer window and print the NIC page.
Worked for me."
I've only printed one page and haven't found any hickups yet; I will pray I don't. I contacted Samsung earlier today and haven't heard back. If they give me a more elegant solution, like a new driver, I will report back.

My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system. Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should. Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should. The document below will expalin more about doing this.
Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver. By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using. If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself. To do this, access Print and Scan. Click the + sign to add a new printer. Select the printer from the list. Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver. Let me know what happens.

Macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

Hi, I used the Mac setup instructions, not the PC ones. The printer was automatically recognised in print and scan when I connected it with a USB cable. I accessed the server's web-based page and followed all the instructions, but still no joy. Thanks for the tip about posting. I have just posted in the section you suggested, so let's see what happens. From a quick scan around the apple forums, lost of other people seem to having precisely the same problem (and not just with HP printers!), but unfortunately, no-one seems to be offering a solution! And trying to get through to the apple online support is a complete waste of time. They've been 'not available' for two days now. Christmas/New Year shutdown, I suppose. Thanks for all your help, though!

After I retouch a pic, it won't print with the retouches. It prints the original. What am I doing wrong?

After I retouch a pic, it won't print with the retouches. It still prints the original pic. What am I doing wrong?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

Firefox won't print with my new HP P1102W printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer

firefox 3.6.12 won't print with my new HP P1102W laser printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer . I spoke with HP tech support. We reinstalled all drivers. They adamantly say it is a Firefox issue and you should have some modifications for it.
When I try to print from the internet using Firefox, a dialog box pops up which says "preparing to print." However, it hangs and I have to manually shut it down. Doing this terminates the Firefox session, and it will not restore upon restart. This printer will print files on my hard drive, and if I use IE8, which I do not want.
Thanks

It must be a Firefox problem, since it works perfectly in Chrome.

Samsung CLP-315W to wirelessly work with OS 10.8.2?

I know this printer CAN work with my network, it has worked with the current firmware and network printer settings, however it doesn't want to connect recently. Can someone please explain how best to set up a stable static network connection with the printer? Here's what's happened thus far. I have uninstalled the smart panel and the driver and reinstalled it fresh with the newest ones. Both are installed. When I plug in a USB I get a modern app dialog that allows me to access the settings, when I connect it via a wired ethernet connection I can access the Sync Thru setup dialog through any web browser. Other websites say that if I connect via either of those methods and change the setup to Static IP, switch the address, save it and then disconnect the blue light wireless capability should turn on within 20 seconds. The problem is it does not.
Please help me! You would be a hero to many people who got suckered into purchasing this wonderful printer with the WORST customer support ever.

Thank you for your reply.
The PDF I am having trouble with when using Safari is a "Weight Workout" that www.activtrax.com automatically creates as an URL and automatically opens using Reader. When I used Adobe Reader 10.1.5, the print symbol showed up. However, when I installed Reader version 11.0.01, only a black screen appeared and no print symbol showed up when I moved my mouse cursor. So, I went back to using version 10.1.5.
ActivTrax states "Your default pdf viewing program will open and display the Workout form." Someone suggested making Preview my default PDF viewing program? Do you know how to do this? If I could make Preview my default PDF viewing program, would doing so prevent me from accessing materials from websites that say that you must have Reader installed to view the item?
In additon, when I open email PDF email attachments, they open in Preview and not Reader. But PDFs that websites create automatically open in Reader.
Thanks for your assistance!

Print Apps won't print with C510a eStation. Prints thin line at top of page.

My C510a eStation printer will not print using the Print Apps. It just prints a thin line at top of page. Everything works fine until I print.
All other print functions work. It prints from computer via WiFi. It prints when I send an email to it. It copies via the Zeen. It just won't print using the Print Apps.
Does anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?
12/23/2010 3:00PM. I just got off the phone with an HP engineer. She said that the eStation is still in the TESTING phase and to call to report problems so they can improve the product. (I would have thought the product would have been fully tested before being released to the public!)
She had me reset the Zeen display by holding down the volume keys while powering up. This erased everything that had been done on the Zeen by me and resulted in no HOME screens, which will have to be set up by me. The only app at the bottom of the blank home page was Yahoo!. Even the printer app was missing. I had to move it from the app tray to the home page. Now, I have to spend hours, again, setting up the Zeen.
After the reset, the printer apps seem to work now. The Zeen will copy using the printer app. My computer still seems able to print and scan to/from the eStation.
The eStation C510a eStation printer and Zeen display are very exciting. However, they are not for someone not willing to spend the time to get it to work properly. If you have a cell phone, be prepared to use up a lot of minutes while on support.
The HP engineer said that it will soon have a new release of Android operating on the Zeen which will allow it to be faster.
This question was solved.

I have decided to return this printer to the store as it just has too many problems. HP has essentially told me they will not issue updates to solve the problems. I hate this, as I really loved the product.

Samsung CLP-315 doesn't print

I was looking through this discussions for two days now and tried everything to make my Samsung CLP-315 print via Time Capsule. If I plug the printer into my iMac it works fine, but if I plug it into Time Capsule it will print a few times only. I'm very disappointed because the printer is Mac compatible and Time Capsule is supposed to support all printers, since there is no list of supported printers.
I guess it can only be a compatibility problem...

It seems like this list is marketed a lot by the experts. Can you please teach us to fish? What are the specs to look for / ask about to determine compatibility? HP had a matrix on their drivers of some sort on their website a while back, but cannot find it.
The problem is this - folks want to buy a printer; which should they buy? Apple keeps thinking of the problem as - i have a printer, how do i get it to work. The latter may be valid - but I keep reading the former and it doesn't appear as if it can be addressed.
Please help us use your products. thank you.

Smart print 2.5 won't print with ie 11

I have an office jet pro 8600 all in one printer.
smart print 2.1 and ie 10 worked fine.
when up grade to windows 8.1 installed so did ie 11.
smart print 2.1 went to 2.5. Smart print no longer functions.
is there a fix for this.

Hi 9952,
I understand you have an Officejet Pro 8600 and are attempting to use HP Smart Print with it and Internet Explorer 11. I will certainly do my best to advise why this issue has been happening.
In this Internet Explorer 9 and Later Versions are Not Compatible with HP Smart Web Printing document it explains that HP Smart Print is only compatible with Internet Explorer 10 and below. You can certainly look into downloading an older version of Internet Explorer so that you can use this feature, but at this time you won't be able to use HP Smart Print with IE 11.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Hp laser jet 1022 won't print with my new hp envy 8.1 operating system

My new hp envy 8.1 operating system won't print from my hp laser jet 1022 printer. I have downloaded the driver and it seems like it's not acknowledging the USB cord.

When you say " my new hp envy 8.1 operating system " ..... Does that mean possibly that you had windows 8 ,,, and have upgraded to windows 8.1 ? Or does that just mean you have a new computer and it Came with 8.1 ???
What is the Model of your computer?
The reason i asked.. because I searched for your HP Laser Jet 1022 Drivers, and when i found them, i selected "more details" and it states " This full software solution is the same solution as the in-box CD that came with your printer. This is not a software upgrade. If a prior version software is currently installed, it must be uninstalled before installing this version. "
Sooooo.. if you had windows 8, and then upgraded to windows 8.1, then you probably need to 'uninstall' any reference to the original installed software for the laser jet 1022.....
And you could also try to NOT get the Full software / driver option, and get the 'Basic drivers' ( you will notice a link for that under the download of the 'Full' software link....

A616 Photosmart Printer won't print with Windows 7

W7 is supposed to have all the drivers for HP printers, however my A616 won't print from my computer running W7. It will from my old desktop at work, but that's not what I need. Anyone with the solution?

Epson C88 Won't Print with Snow Leopard

C88 won't print using Snow Leopard. Downloaded driver from Epson doesn't help.????

Like you, I'm working with an Epson C-88+. Happy with this situation, would not be exactly accurate. I have tried some different approaches, including the ones from John and Kappy. They would work just fine for about 3 days, then fail. I even went back to the Snow Leopard Install DVD/ Optional Installs/ Options.MPKG/ Printer Support and made a choice. I then went to Disk First Aid and everything was fine. Today, I went to print 1 envelope, total dismal failure. I then downloaded the EPSON Printer Drivers 2.1, I proceeded to install the drivers. Did anybody notice, this was an Apple License, not an EPSON License? Therefore, there are no assurances, that these print drivers are in fact, EPSON. Therefore, AppleCare should be required to support these Print Drivers as Apple Licensed Products. But equally so, we as 'dumb endusers' must try to work with AppleCare to solve this issue. To "pete.purvis" John and Kappy, sorry, you guys have proven yourselves to be out of the "dumb endusers group, I just want to say, THANK YOU!

Canon MF8050cn won't print with Lion ?

Hi anyone,
I'm pulling my hair trying to get this new printer working with my Mother's new iMac and have failed for the past 6-weeks!
I have followed all sorts of suggestions found here and elsewhere - and none of which have worked!
The printer is connected directly to the USB port and I'm simply trying to add it using the Canon UFR II LT v2.3 driver but it never communicates with printer.
Seems like there is a fundamental incompatibilty between this printer and Lion?
any suggestions, I haven't resorted to a firmware update yet, but maybe I should be looking at this too?
This has been a horrible time wasting experience for both her and me.

One of the problems I have encountered with the UFR2 driver is that it relies heavily on a background service and if this fails to run it will cause printer issues. So the first thing to check is that this "UFR II Backgrounder" service is running on the iMac. Open Activity Monitor and scroll down the list. Do you see this service?
Also, I cannot tell from your post if you have managed to add the printer and that the issue is that it won't print, or you have not been able to add the printer. If you have been able to add the printer but cannot print, then open System Information and select the Printers entry listed under Hardware. In the top right pane will be the installed printers and if you select the MF8050, the bottom right pane will show information about the print queue. Can you copy this information and post it back here please.
