Won't print to my old DesignJet 220 C3187a from XP Pro
I have an original DesignJet 220 C3187a inkjet A1 plotter in as new condition ( I purchased it new ).
I have autocad running on Windows XP pro on a Mac Pro laptop in a virtual environment (parallels) and I cannot get the computer to talk to the plotter at all.
I have purchased a usb to parallel cable to connect to the laptop.
Is there a program to do this????
Do I require a software person to alter a program to talk to it????
Any ideas please I am desperate to plot work out????????
Hi OC Photoworx,
Have you tried updating the Printer driver yet?
I see an updated version on the HP site:
Version#: 61.101.368.41
Release date: 16 Mar 2011
See if downloading that driver can help out!
If not, let us know here!
Thanks!

CS6 won't print to my HP DesignJet Z3200 printer
When I select this printer for output, all seems fine: When I click the Print Settings button in the CS6 print dialog window, I am taken to the HP driver and can make all my selections. But when I come back to the CS6 print dialog window and click Print -- the dialog window closes and nothing goes to the printer.
I can print to my color laser as expected.
System: Win XP SP3
HP DesignJet Z3200 44in Photo (non-Postscript version)
HP driver version 61.83.41.0
One unusual thing about this printer: The driver has a preview function. When I print from Photoshop CS2 (and all other apps), sending a file to the printer launches the preview application. The image is displayed on screen, giving me a final chance to approve or reject it. When I print from CS6, the preview application doesn't launch.
My workaround is to save the file and print it from Photoshop CS2.
I have not checked if the problem goes away if I disable the preview function. Nor have I traced a print job to see when it shows up in the spooler, when the preview application launches -- and if those answers change with CS6. Let me know if you need more information.Hi OC Photoworx,

When trying to print anything from the Web, only the left portion of the page will print, nothing from the middle to the right of the page showing. It shows this on the print preview. I tried taking it off shrink to fit and it still doesn't show the right half of the page, the print is just larger.
I can print anything from Internet Explorer and from Quickbooks, but not from Firefox. I have downloaded all of the versions up to 5.0. It did print before upgrade, but I don't remember which version actually worked.That did fix it, thanks so very, very much! I went to the " prints to a small portion of the page" and changed the paper size to A4 like it said and it worked immediately. This was the first time that I found this particular information listed on Firefox after looking at numerous questions/answers. Again, thanks so very much!!!!!!

Clone old 10.8.2 from MacBook Pro to new i7 iMac 27inch OK to do?
My question is, is there anything special about the 10.8 installation that will come with my new i7 27 inch iMac that would make it a bad idea for me to simply clone my current 10.8.2 system from my 5 year old MacBook Pro 1,3 to the new iMac when it arrives?
As in does OS X 10.8 know what type of Mac it's getting installed on and thus installs different graphics/hardware drivers?
I want to clone directly from my old MacBook Pro because I have SO MUCH software on there that works perfectly as-is, would take hours and hours to install and update from scratch again, not to mention some software I know for a fact will give me heachaches when I need to re-authorize it on the new machine but would work perfectly if I were to just Carbon Copy clone it all.
I know how to re-activate the driver for the USB superdrive I'm getting with the iMac.
But is there anything else?
Oh and the iMac is coming with the 3TB fusion drive.
Please only respond to this if you know any of the answers from direct experience and not assumptions.
Thanks I appreciate your time.I doubt it. Although the iMac may be running 10.8.2 it is more then likely a Special Build for the newest hardware in the iMac. Apple does that with ever New Mac they come out with.
So if you cloned your 10.8.2 version of Mt Lion from a Macbook Pro the iMac may not boot as that copy would not have the correct drivers for the iMac.
The only way to get the version that ships on new Macs is to use the Internet Recovery system. The is setup to give you the correct version for the New Mac you are using. -
Canon Pixma Pro 100 won't print
Hopefully someone can help. I just purchased a new Pixma Pro 100 and diligently set it up using a USB connection to my laptop (Windows 8, 64 bit). The printer printed the alignment page fine, but won't print anything else (including a Test Page from the device Properties box). I immediately get an on scree error message when trying to print.
Any thoughts out there?Unplug the printer for 15 minutes. Unplug it from everything. Don't use My Image Garden. Use Easy Photo Print EX (came with your printer) or some other program.

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!

Pantone Color 5615 Coated Won't Print On 1 of 2 Identical HP DesignJet 5500s
Hi,
We've run into an odd problem where we have 2 locations with identical setups: Creative Suite Design Premium 4, Mac Pros, and HP DesignJet 5500s. The same InDesign file prints fine in one location with a DesignJet 5500, but when we print the same ID file at the second location that has a second DesignJet 5500, the only color that doesn't print correctly is Pantone 5615 Coated. We're using same printer driver version for both printers. I haven't yet checked Firmware versions for both printers.
On the printer that won't print Pantone 5615, the printer doesn't print it correctly in any of our Creative Suite applications. We tried creating completely new files in ID, PS, IL and the color won't print. We've checked color management in Bridge and ID and they seem OK. We're not currently having any other color problems printing with any other Creative Suite files with this printer. Colors are accurate all the way around.
I read the forum and saw a lot of posting about Pantone colors, so I will try some of the suggestions related to Pantone issues. At the moment, I'm not at the location with the problem printer and can't try the suggestions until next week.
When I was at the location yesterday, we tried printing Pantone 5615 from Quark 7.5 and the color printed fine. Obviously, we don't want to use Quark on an ongoing basis for this project. It seems likely that it isn't a printer hardware problem since the Pantone color prints out fine from the Quark file. There seems to be a setting somewhere in Creative Suite that the printer at our one location doesn't like, or there is some setting on the printer that is different than the other printer. I don't think it's a network problem with the one printer versus the other printer because I would think Quark would then run into the same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
JasonI have the same issue with my 44" Z3100ps GP Photo, but it is when I print from Photoshop CS5. I am running OSX 10.68 and since the last Apple/HP printer driver update this last Summer my printer will not print solid black strokes or borders around an image, yet the image prints perfectly.
I tried to roll back the drivers with no success. If I make a solid black rectangler file and try print it nothing at all prints. If I scribble in Photoshop with white paint brush in the middle of that same file the printer skips the left edge of the black rectangle and then prints the middle scribbnle and right egde of the rectangle folowing the contour of the scribble on the left.
Had me baffled and still does, the printheads are in good working order. I print large canvas photos with 1.5" black borders used to cover the sides of stretched canvases. The only way I have found around this issue is to add an inch or so to the canvas size all the way around in photoshop and make it white. That seems to fool the printer into printing the file with the full black border. Still this is not a real fix, but at least it keeps my printer running.
Let me know if you find a solution to this. HP support doesn't help as they only give support to in warranty printers. Maybe Apple could help with the drivers?

Need a printer for my old iBook (old apps won't translate) but also for a MacBook Pro, 10.6.8! Anything compatible?
If I understand this correctly, you wish to print from the iBook under Mac OS 9.2.x and from the MacBook Pro under Mac OS X 10.6.8 (no AppleTalk support in the latter).
What type of printer did you have in mind? Does it have to be colour? Otherwise, a monochrome laser printer may be the best choice (high print quality and a low per page cost). A networkable PostScript printer may be the most compatible. Additional information would make it easier for someone here to suggest a solution.
If you would be willing to accept some extra work and certain limitations, another way could possibly be to "print" to a PDF file on the iBook via a printer driver called PrintToPDF, and then transfer this file to the MacBook Pro and carry out the "real" printing there.

Upgraded arris hi-speed router to my xfinity, now my old hp4000 laserjet won't print ethernet routed
I just upgraded to an Arris hi-speed router to my Xfinity but now my old HP 4000n Laserjet won't print ethernet routed... What to do?
It worked simply fine from my previous Netgear Router that I ran off the previous old xfinity modem (w/o builtin) router. Much Thanks for your step by step instruction. I am running Windows 7 fyi.On the front of the printer, probably in the Network menu, can you tell if the printer has a valid IP address, indicating that it is properly connected to your new router?
If so (and I would guess that it is), then your PC needs to re-establish communication with it:
First, go to Start > Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
Next:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

Printer won't print too- need a new printer head. i want to know if you have one in stock
Hi, my printer won't print and the error message states "bad printerhead". My printer model is HP officejet d 155xi. I need to know how much it costs or would it be cheaper to buy a new printer. Still have four cartridges of ink. Please advise. Thanks.
HI,
You can find the General prices for the printheads HERE, if you only have to replace one its ok, but keep in mind that the other printhead are likely to be just as old and might break down as wel.

Won't Print to Kodak 1400 Professional - "Printing" never ends
Hi - Using MacBook Pro 17" and Aperture. OS 10.4.x. Out of box, new Kodak 1400 Professional Printer worked fine, and printed several great pictures. A week later, I was unable to print anything at all. Printer Window shows "PRINTING" and the twirling barber pole thermometer, but it NEVER prints however long I wait and no error message.
I've opened and closed printer, restarted printer and computer, checked that the firmware is up to date, re-set the paper in tray, etc. ALSO, it won't print JPGS from Preview, or apparently anything.
What could have happened?
Fix?
David Ferleger
email [email protected]I have no idea if this will help anyone, but it helped me. I had my Kodak 1400 working with no problems for quite a while. I never really printed much, but I did now and then. About two months ago, I ran out of paper and didn't purchase any more for a while. I finally got my two packs (so I could get the third free!) about two weeks ago. I now have two clients who need prints, a total of about 85 8x10s.
So, I setup the printer, installed the driver, and started going about my business. Setup the prints, got it all rolling, and prepared to run the first print through as I've found the first print on a new ribbon is a dud due to dust. Nothing happened. It went to "printing" and stared at me as though it were as dumbfounded I asked it to print as I was that it WASN'T printing.
That was yesterday. Since then, I've removed the driver about a bajillion times. Googled this, FAQ'd that, held my tongue appropriately, used different USB cables, different USB ports, removed the other printer, blahdy blahdy blah. Then, this afternoon while I was somewhere between awake and sleep, it hit me: why not try an older driver. I thought about it, and realized that since the last time I was using the 1400 successfully, I'd reinstalled OSX. What were the odds that when I downloaded the driver the last time, I downloaded the "wrong" driver and got the old one (1.0.2) instead of the NEW correct driver, 2.0.0.
So, I removed the old driver from everywhere I could. Restarted the computer. Installed 1.0.2, cliked print, and felt my heart sink as the red Error light blinked intermittently with the "Media" light. Shot through the heart... then, all of a sudden, it sucked in some paper, and started printing! Problem solved!
So, if you still can't print, try using 1.0.2. It might not work, but if you can't print with 2.0.0, what harm can it do? NONE! Muhahahaha. I feel so adventurous for using an old driver. (yes, this is what now counts as "adventure" for me... now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.)
Hope that works for someone!

I can't connect my canon xp160 to my new IMAC. It does recognize it but won't print. there is no driver for this as per Canon and they state that I may not need one. thanks!1
If you want to print, then you will need a printer driver. There is no printer driver available from Apple for the MP160. And the last driver that Canon released for this model was for OS X 10.7. You may be able to install this 10.7 driver, although it is not digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block the installation. To get past Gatekeeper, you can hold down the Control key and click on the installer. A pop-up menu will appear. Select Open. You will then be given the option to install the old driver.
With the driver installed, add the printer via Printers & Scanners and see if you can print. -
HP LaserJet P1006 - Won't print mailing labels
I just got a new computer at work and it won't print my mailing labels. If I create a word document and print, it will print on the label paper, but if the document is a label template, I keep getting a pop-up telling me to insert the correct paper and hit "go". On my old computer I would get this warning, but when I hit "go" it would proceed to print. Now, the printer blinks red (like the job is pending), and then the pop-up comes up again telling me to insert the correct paper again. I have attempted to change the settings in Properties to automatically expect label paper, but I keep getting the same warnings. Please help! I need to resolve this issue because my coworkers will eventually have this same problem as they have all gotten new computers too.
Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi there!
Thanks for your reply with all of your troubleshooting efforts!
I have looked into the mailing label printing some more and I would suggest posting the issue on the Avery Help Center to see if they can provide a better answer. We've determined the printer will still print, so I do believe the problem is within printing the mailing labels.
