10.5.3 has broken printing to my Brother printer

I updated both my MacBook Pro and my wife's MacBook to 10.5.3 three days ago. Since then, we cannot print to our Brother MFC-440CN (usually connected to our Airport Express).
All attempts at printing, wireless or USB, fail. When I'm watching from the print queue monitor it flashes the following error message when I try to print:
Unable to send 3378 bytes of print data! (USB write error)
I was able to see, install and print on my friend's HP off of his Airport.
Can anybody help? Is there a solution other than waiting for Apple or Brother to issue a fix?
I have deleted and reinstalled my Brother multiple times, and printing fails and I get the error message no matter what (even if the printer is plugged directly into a USB port on one of our computers.

Hi,
What did you update from? 10.4 or a previous version of 10.5?
Did you look for any updates on Brother's website?
I see something called the Brother CUPS printer drivers: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10384
I can't vouch for it, but you could look into it. CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) is the open source underpinnings of how Macs print. More at www.cups.org
You can also try to reset your printer. There are some shareware programs out there that do that. I can't recall them at the moment, but that fixed a printer that I had printing to a couple of years ago. I looked around, but couldn't find anything.

2009-001 Security Update Has Broken Printing From VMWare

Are Apple aware that their latest security patch has affected the ability to print from a guest OS in VMWare Fusion?
I've installed Adobe Reader 8 since the update, and that won't print too, though I can still print PDF's from Preview, perhaps the update has affected CUPS.
Since Apple recommend VMWare (quite rightly) in their online store, I hope that they feel an obligation to help solve this!

Me too!
in my experience Parallels is a lot more twitchy and problematic than VMWare.
I'm not sure about the definition of "twitchy" in this (or any) context.
That doesn't mean that VMWare is perfect; it's not by any means.
I've never seen any software that is prefect and without bugs. I want to sound fair and unbiased, but I can honestly say that I have never experienced any problem, of any kind, in Parallels. It has never failed me.
I cannot say the same for VMWare. I tried it, found numerous problems immediately. The 2.0 version seems better. It doesn't appear to make the Mac itself unstable, even when VMWare isn't running.
But I've found it to be much more stable than Parallels (either v. 3.x or v 4.x).
For all tasks where printing isn't required I assume
It is not my intention to turn this thread into yet another Parallels vs. VMWare flame war. I have seen a great deal of disinformation targeted at Parallels over the past couple of years. I have made it a personal goal to do my part to fight it whenever I get the chance. So that is why I seem a bit testy and defensive - because I am
Neither you nor the original poster have said anything derogatory towards Parallels. Both Parallels and VMWare are fine products. In this case, VMWare has a bug. That is unfortunate for them. I haven't installed the security update myself to see if Parallels is immune. But I'm guessing it is unaffected considering the level of trashing that Parallels gets even when they don't have bugs.
It is unfortunate that the original poster was misinformed about Apple recommending VMWare. Apple will help market just about any Mac software, but I don't think Apple would ever recommend any 3rd party product over another 3rd party product. They sell both VMWare and Parallels in the Apple Store.
I am sure that VMWare will find and fix this bug fairly shortly. I'm sure Apple will help them if they ask.
I am sure that Adobe Reader 8 will not be updated to fix its bug. Adobe Reader 8 is already obsolete. Adobe Reader 9 may not have the same issue. I can't say myself because I don't use Adobe software to read PDFs. I prefer Preview, Skim, or PDFClerkPro.

Installing HP Printer software update 3.0 has broken the scanner on my HP PSC 1355 printer.

Installing HP Printer software update 3.0 has broken the scanner on my HP PSC 1355 printer.
After the update, the printer prints correctly, but scanning from the Print and Scan, Preview or Image Capture fails with "Waiting for scanner" followed be "Failed to open a session on the device." Followed by the device disappears form ImageCapture.
I've tried restarting to the computer and printer and plugging it into another USB port - the results are the same. Printer utility hangs too.
Solutions?

did you try this:
Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
In the Applications folder or from the Dock, click Preview.
From the Preview File menu, select Import from Scanner.
Select your printer from the list. The details of the scan display.
If a 'Software for this device is not installed' message displays after you select your printer, click Install, and then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Click Show Details to view scan settings and options.
NOTE: Make sure that you select either the Flatbed mode or theDocument Feeder mode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan.
Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan.

My Mac has broken and I want to sell it for parts. How can I be sure that my personal data that is/was on the hard drive is safe?

My 2006 MacBook Pro has broken. There is a little bit of drive noise when I turn it on, but then nothing happens. It is no big deal. Most of my files were backed up. There are a few files I would like to recover if possible, but nothing worth a major effort.
I have seen that broken MacBook Pro's go for about $300 on eBay for parts, so I would like to sell the MacBook Pro. However, I only want to do that after I am sure that my personal data is wiped out. Does anyone know how I can accomplish that? Does anyone know of an easy way to search the old hard drive for some of the data that I lost? Can a Genius Bar take care of this stuff for me (and how much do they charge?)?
Thank you for your help.

The ONLY real secure way to be sure that noone may recover data from your drive is, to remove the drive, and drill one or two 1" holes thru the disk.
A bit less secure but useful way is, to wipe out the data with a tool that's overwrite all sectors of the drive with randomized data in multiple runs.
For example: Permanent Ereaser http://www.edenwaith.com/products/permanent%20eraser/
Independent tests bring out, that even specialized recovery companies with forensic tools are unable to find useful data after such a run.

How to get that the invoice has been printed or not?

Hi Experts,
I have a issue in Printing Invoice. I have to make 2 copies of an invoice. One is Original and another is Duplicate. I have made that with copy windows. But the requirement is that when the original copy of a selected invoice has been printed then from the second time only the duplicate copy will be printed. How to do that in ABAP? How to get the information that the invoice has been printed or not?
Regards,
SURYA

Hi Surya,
Try the below approach, i think this is better than the previous approach and takes care of the print from "text menu" as well
select from z table.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
call "SMARTFORM_COPY"
else.
While calling the smartform, make sure you import the "JOB_OUTPUT_INFO" parameter,
and after you call the smartform,
call "SMARTFORM_ORIG"
exporting...
Importing...
job_output_info = w_job_output_info
exceptions...
If sy-subrc eq 0.
if w_job_output_info EQ 'X'.
update the Z table.
else.
do not update the z table
endif.
endif.
endif.

It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files. It happens sometimes. To recovery:
- Import the old music into the current iTunes library
- Make sure all the apps are also in the library
- If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
- After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes.
- Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.

So far wifi still connected

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.
Help?
Using Windows XP (Home Version)
Product # CB419A

Could be a number of issues. First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper. Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test. When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing. Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum. If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues. Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test. Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it. If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter. If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues. You may have to bring the printer in for service.

10.6.8 update has broken quicktime 7 codecs

Hi there
It seems that the 10.6.8 update has broken the codecs that quicktime 7 uses.
We have users here that need to use quicktime 7 pro to export movs etc, and since the update, they cannot play (so far that we have found) movs that are using the photo-jpeg decompressor.
We're using the version from the optional installs package form the dvd.
We've been able to work around this by copying (from a 10.6.7 install) the following folders, over the top of the 10.6.8 image.
/System/Library/QuickTime
/System/Library/QuickTimaJava
/System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework
/Library/QuickTime
While ive tried to single out which files are affected, it seems copying one of these folders at a time hasnt fixed the problem. Only when (at least) all the /System folders are copied over, then we can start playing the movs that have the broken codecs.
Is this something Apple is aware of? Is there an word of a fix for this? I also hear that optical audio is broken as part of the update - which the solution has been to recopy the kext file back from an older system.
10.6.7 was a show stopper for us - because of the NFS permission problems.. (but QT7 worked)
and now 10.6.8 is a show stopper for us, because QT7 is now broken, but the NFS problems are resolved.
I dont want to have to rebuild our workstations back to 10.6.6 as we had other issues that was fixed with 10.6.7..
Any ideas anyone? Apple dev's?
Cheers

i think ive narrowed it down to a single file...
On my 10.6.8 laptop - with the stock QT files... the affected movs wouldnt play...
I copy this file from a 10.6.7 machine...
/System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTime Components
And i can play the files again...

Z key in macbook pro pops up on right side. Little pin on scissor clip underneath has broken. No stress on computer, is this apple covered? Otherwise where do I get a new scissor clip. Less than 3 months old.

On the Z key, the little scissor clip underneath on the right hand side has two little pointy bits which connect to the key, the top one of these has broken off and the key is barely hanging on, if pushed on the right side of the key, it pops up. I tried to push it back in but it keeps popping up.
My mac is less than 3 months old. The computer has been treated well and has not been used rough or treated badly, I imagine it's just an accident while typing or a weak clip.
Is this covered by Apple, if not where do I buy a new clip for under the key? -

u can give try to using external enclosre and backup ur files. I hope u will get files back. or using external enclosre with ur hdd boot into Linux and try to mount ur harddisk.
there are multiple no of tutorial to mount apple partion in Linux.
