A solution to the CUPS (libcups) 1.6 printing problem
Hi,
I've read countless threads here and elsewhere about a really frustrating feature of CUPS 1.6: apparently you can't use libcups alone to browse existing printers in your network as we did in the past. Not even if you know the address of your local CUPS server. You need to install the cups server package.
I spent a lot of time trying to find a fix for this because it is really annoying.
I'm glad to say I found a really easy solution:
1. You only need libcups (1.6), as originally
2. You need to edit either /etc/cups/client.conf or ~/.cups/client.conf and add this line (the /version adds interoperability with older CUPS servers I guess):
ServerName foobar/version=1.1
Apparently this is a new option that has yet to be documented. Credit goes to the Ubuntu folks, which is where I found it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1069671
I'd appreciate if someone edited the wiki to add this. I'm on the road right now. Otherwise, I'll do it later next week.
Also making this sticky might be appropriate.
Cheers!

My solution for the "Error -50" and/or "Syncing" problem
Hi
After upgrading to iPhoto 5.0.2 I also had the "Error: -50" problem"
How have I solved this problem => also with the help and tips from other forums.
Before the upgrade all my pictures from iPhoto were available on my iPod Photo (30 GB)
After the upgrade of iPhoto to 5.0.2 I received the "Error: -50" every time I tried to synchronize my iPod. Strange, strange, strange, ...
=> first I detected that putting pictures on my iPod starting from a folder (in stead of iPhoto) worked fine.
Trying to change back to iPhoto did not work and no albums where available in the iPod Options view!
=> then I tried to create a new iPhoto library (press and hold Option(alt)-key while starting iPhoto), put some pictures and albums in it ... and even this did not work.
What did I do to solve this problem!
1. I thrashed my iPhoto application (DO NOT empty you trash, because you have to put it back again)
2. I used "Disk Utility" to repair the disk permissions.
3. I put back my iPhoto application from the thrash (same location as before - Applications folder)
4. and did again a "repair disk permissions"
5. then I tried to sync my NEW iPhoto library on my iPod and EUREKA this worked.
6. Then I switched back to my original iPhoto library (launch iPhoto holding the Option key).
7. Tried to sync ... again the same problem => no pictures and albums available in the iPod - Optoins - Photo tab.
=> conclusion : the problem has to be in my iPhoto library
8. after trying many things (such as eliminating albums => trail and error method) I found the cause for my problem.
=> I used KEYWORDS in my iPhoto library with strange characters and had SMART albums using it. In my situation it was the "&" character.
Replacing or removing this character solved my problem. All my pictures and albums were available in the iPod - Options - Photo tab
9. Sync could be started ... Youpi!
After synchronizing my iPhoto library I noticed that not all pictures were available on the iPod. I start looking which pictures that were missing on my iPod. When I found them I wanted to know why they were not synchronized.
I found the explanation in the file "AlbumData.xml" in the "iPhoto Library" folder.
If you open this file with TextEdit and search for this missing file then you'll find that (at least in my case) corresponding path does not exist (any more). And that was the case for each missing file!
How solving this problem?
1. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto Library => launch iPhoto holding the Option and Command keys. This did not work.
2. What did I do?
2.1. First I exported all my Pictures from the active iPhoto Library (Share - Export)
=> VERY IMPORTANT NOTE : all extra info such as "Key words", Albums, ... will NOT be saved!
2.2. I created a new iPhoto Library (launch iPhoto holding the Option key)
2.3. Then I imported all exported pictures.
=> if you check the file paths in the AlbumData.xml file, you'll see that this info is correct!
2.4. At least I recreated (manually) all "Key words", Albums, ... so I had a duplicate of my original Library.
I hope this also works for other people with the same problem.
Greetings
P@nt@niHere my solution for the itunes' "unknown error -50" and not showing any albums in the prefs' tab:
1. All rebuilding options in iphoto didn't resolve the problem.
2. I opened the file "AlbumData.xml" in the iPhoto-Library-Folder with a text editor. I figured out, that the problem wasn't in the Albums, but in the "Master Image List"-Section. They look like this:
<key>1741</key>
<dict>
.. titles, filenames, ....
</dict>
After making a backup of this file, I started deleting entries here (you know, the fastest way to do it is to split it always in halves and check in iTunes if the error still exists). After about half an hour I got the problem key.
3. The problem was: Some (curious) white spaces at the BEGINNING of the comment! Curious, because they weren't visible in iPhoto's comment, but I could delete them in Iphoto! I guess they weren't normal space characters, but any special symbols (line feeds? whatever)
4. After that, the -50 error was gone. Now I could see the Album Names. But the sync stopped after a while with a "... file not found...." - error.
5. Again, with trial&error I found out, that 4 pictures in the last 3 months' rolls made this second problem: I just duplicated them in iPhoto and deleted the original ones. So I still don't know why they have produced this error... anyway,
6. Now all of my photos sync well.
.. well, the whole story took me 2 evenings. I really didn't switched to Mac to play debugger for Apple. Do they read these groups here or do I better write them anywhere? They should get those problems fixed asap! As far as I read in the groups, those errors do exist quite a long time?!
My versions:
iPhoto 5.0.4 (263)
iTunes 5.0.1 (4)
OS X 10.3.9
iPod Nano 1.0 -
Finally Found a Solution to the Missing Palettes/No Screen update problem!
Ever since CS3 came out, Photoshop and Illustrator in particular (the worst offenders) wouldn't run properl
y on my system unless I did a full reboot before running either. Photoshop would load, but all palettes would be empty. Illustrator would forget t
o update the client area of the screen. Neither application was useable in that state. I have complained about it before, to no avail.
Now I have found the fix: Increasing the User Handle and GDI handle limits in Windows.
Here's an article on how to do this:
Increasing User Handle and GDI Handle Limits
Have you ever been working with a good number of applications at once? Are you a naturally born multi tasker? Alright, answer me this - who has had Windows buckle under the weight of all of these applications and display error messages stating that the system is out of memory or out of resources, buttons and menus do not work correctly, or you get an error sound but no message on the screen? I’ve hit this numerous times, to the point that I’ve lost work because of it…
(By the way, Adobe, can you please implement that little feature that Microsoft Office has had for years known as “auto save”? I don’t know how many times I’ve managed to completely max out Windows designing a web site and have had Photoshop fall over dead and disappear off my screen, only to find out that when I open Photoshop up again that the entire thing saved jack-all, all of those layers and documents gone poof into the void of darkness… if Microsoft can do it, why can’t you?)
Sometimes this happens even when you have a lot of system memory (RAM) still available. For instance, open up Internet Explorer and hold Ctrl+N to open up as many Internet Explorer windows as you can before menus, icons, and menus start displaying incorrectly, disappear, buttons aren’t clickable, etc. Close a few out and check your Windows Task Manager in the “Performance” tab, I bet you will find that a lot of your Physical Memory is still available.
This publication applies to:
* Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
* Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
* Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
* Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
* Microsoft Windows XP Professional
* Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
* Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
* Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
DISCLAIMER: mikedopp.com and mikedopp hold no responsibility or liability whatsoever should something go wrong, or if you incorrectly modify the Windows Registry. Please take extreme caution while following this publication and follow the steps correctly.
“Okie-dokie, if I have all of this memory still available, why is Windows saying I’m out of memory and out of system resources!?”
Simple. You have hit the “user handle” or “GDI handle” limit in Windows. This limit is there for two reasons:
* Leaky applications or faulty code & malware can’t easily crash the system by attempting to overflow the system with GDI handles, making everything un-usable until a reboot is performed.
* To prevent a user from opening up more applications than the system can handle.
If you have 1 gigabyte (or 1024MB) of RAM or higher, the default User Handle and GDI Handle limits can be pretty restrictive when running a large working set of applications that demand the most from your system and tax it heavily.
“Do you feel my pain?”
Yes, of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be writing this article that is more than likely a good 2 or 3 pages in length.
I’m a designer and coder, I use Adobe Photoshop with a lot of documents opened up - on top of that, I usually listen to music while working as it helps me work better, so Windows Media Player 10 is usually open on my machine. Also opened are Windows Messenger, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, SmartFTP (one of the best FTP clients I’ve ever used, highly recommended), Microsoft Word, a few dozen Internet Explorer windows, some Mozilla Firefox windows with a few tabs opened in each one, and EditPlus 2 for coding.
That’s a pretty heavy working set of applications, and I demand the most out of my computer when it comes to multitasking (I have a Pentium 4 2.66GHz, with 1.5GB of RAM just for those who are wondering).
I too have nailed these handle limits - more than once. After much searching and pondering I have finally come up with a working solution around this issue (hurray!)
“Yeah yeah, stop rambling and cut to the chase!”
First and foremost, I must warn you that modifying these settings incorrectly can render your Windows installation near useless. Also, depending on your computer configuration and the amount of RAM in your system, you may wish to play around with the numbers until you find a setting that is perfect for your computer.
To back up everything, open the Registry Editor (click on Start, Run, and then type “regedit.exe” (without the quotes).
To backup a registry key:
* In the Registry Editor on the left hand side, you will see the navigation pane. Using your mouse or keyboard, navigate to the following subkeys:
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
* Right click on each of the subkeys above in the left hand pane and from the context menu that appears, choose the “Export” option. Save the exported registry data file where ever you wish, but make sure that it will be accessible should we need to restore the files.
“OK, I’ve backed everything up! Now what!?”
Don’t quit the Registry Editor just yet - we still need to make some modifications in order to increase the handle limits in Windows.
With the Registry Editor opened, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems. You will notice a set of “REG_MULTI_SZ” and “REG_EXPAND_SZ” keys in the right hand pane. The one that we are interested in modifying is called “Windows”.
To modify the key, double click on it. It should look something like this:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
The section of this string we are interested in modifting is “SharedSection”.
In the SharedSection part of the string you will notice 3 numbers. What we are interested in is the middle value, “3072?. Modify this value so that the middle number is “8192?.
It should look something like this after modifying the value:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,8192,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
Now that we’ve changed this, lets continue, shall we?
In the left hand pane of the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. In the right hand side, you will see two REG_DWORD values, named “GDIProcessHandleQuota” and “USERProcessHandleQuota”. We will need to modify both of these.
The first key we will want to modify is “GDIProcessHandleQuota”. This keys value can be set between 256 and 16,384 (maximum), and the default value is 10,000. I’d recommend using 15,000 as a value for this key, however if you are doing a lot of multitasking, shoot for the stars and go with 16,384.
This key can not be set past 16,384 as it is the maximum acceptable value.
Now, lets modify “USERProcessHandleQuota”. This keys value can be set between 200 and 18,000 (maximum), with a default value of 10,000. I’d recommend increasing this value to the same number used with “GDIProcessHandleQuota”, however as previously mentioned if you are working with a hefty application workload, shoot for the stars and go wth the maximum value of 18,000.
This key can not be set past 18,000 as it is the maximum acceptable value.
Do NOT attempt to increase these values past the maximum - Windows will become very unstable and may even stop working correctly. If Windows starts acting up after changing these values, lower them until the issues are resolved, or restore the backups of these keys’ values that we created before making modifications.
Now that you’ve changed these values, restart your computer and tax the system using the Internet Explorer trick mentioned previously - open Internet Explorer and hold down Ctrl+N on your keyboard to open up new Internet Explorer windows. Continue this until menus, buttons, and user interface elements stop working correctly. Also, open any applications you run day-to-day while you are performing this, so that you can get more of an idea if you have everything configured correctly.
You may also want to monitor your memory usage and handles information in Task Manager to see whether or not the above registry values need any more modifications.
I hope this helps with any multi-tasking issues you may have run into while running Microsoft Windows, now get back to work!You work like I do. It's very cool that you published this fix for XP people, but yow, what a lot of detailed things to check/set! Seems like it might just be simpler just to move up to Windows 7...

A possible solution for the folder exclamation or folder! problem
This worked for Windows XP. Don't know if it will work for the Mac but it may.
Three days ago my wife’s iPod, 4th gen 40gb, stopped working. I got the folder exclamation icon (or folder! as some have described it). I hooked it to my laptop and had no joy with it. The system (XP) would see it sometimes as a removable and sometimes as a hard drive. Disk Manager saw it a couple of times but it always took about an hour for it to show up. I messed with it about 5 hours the first night and then decided to take it to the Apple Store the next day. The guys at the Genius Bar had the same problem, this time on a Mac. Told me it was out of warranty and that the best I could do was find someone who could repair it. I’m a tech and I don’t want to mess with it but I’m not going to pay someone $200+ to replace what is essentially a laptop hard drive. So I kept plugging away and researching on the net. I’ve seen a lot of posts concerning the icon as well as a few concerning the partitioning of the drive. I’ve even seen where some people are advocating opening the iPod and shaking the drive which is never a good idea. Nothing really seemed to help so I kept working on it myself.
I did find a solution and it takes a bit of time. It involves deleting the current partition and formatting it again. Since I’m using this on XP I had to format the partition as a Fat32. In order to do this I had to use the Knoppix operating system because Microsoft limited XP’s ability to format Fat32 partitions to 32GB. If you have an iPod that is less than 32gb you may be able to just format it using XP. I also couldn’t get XP to delete the partition so using Knoppix worked out very well since it has a program called QTParted on it that works like Partition Magic. Knoppix is free and does not have to be installed. It runs entirely off of your CDRom drive. If you have about an hour to try this I’d be interested in whether it works for anyone else.
I believe the problem that most people are having comes from the fact that the Fat32 file system is not good for keeping a “clean” hard drive. It tends to leave bits and pieces around and if you update a lot it can affect the hard drive’s performance. I know that Restoring using the updater is supposed to fix this but it appears that the updater software does a quick format. That won’t always fix the problem. By following what I did you will blow away the existing partition and create a new one and format it to the Fat32. This effectively makes it a “clean” hard drive.
Before I walk you through this I just wanted to say that I’ve purposely blown my wife’s iPod away 4 times to make sure that this works. Works like new now and did so after each time I blew it away. You should have seen her face when I did it.
The things you will need and need to do are:
CD Burner (you need to be able to create a disk from an ISO Image
Blank CD
Download a copy of Knoppix 4.0 from http://www.knoppix.com
Download the current version of iPod updater http://www.apple.com/iPod/download/
Make sure your system can boot from CD-Rom (Check your system docs)
About an hour of your time
1. Using your software of choice, burn the Knoppix image to your CD.
2. Place your iPod in Disk Mode. You do that by resetting the iPod and , on 4th gen at least, once it resets immediately hold down the Select+Play/Pause buttons. You should see it say Disk Mode at the top of your screen. Not sure how to do that on other iPods but I figure if you’ve gotten this far you will be able to figure it out.
2. Shut your system down and place the Knoppix cd in your cdrom. Make sure your system will boot from CD
Note: If you are using a laptop you may not be able to use the mouse by default with Knoppix. You can try to enable it when you first start Knoppix. You do this by typing the following at the Boot: prompt.
Knoppix pci=irqmask=0x0e98
If that doesn’t work for you then you may need to hook another mouse to your laptop.
3. Once Knoppix is up go to the K button (located like the start button on XP) and go to the system group. You will see a program called QTParted. Start that program.
4. On the left of the QTParted screen you will see the hard drives on your system. One of them should be your iPod. It should say something like /dev/sda1. Click on that device. In the bottom on the left side for Drive Info I was given the information that it was an Apple iPod and the capacity. Don’t know if everyone will get that but it stands to reason that you should.
5. You should now see the iPod’s partition information on the right side of the screen. I don’t know about anyone else’s but my wife’s had 37mb free and that turned out to be important. Make a note of any unallocated space you may have and keep it for the next step. Highlight the partition and then delete it. Once deleted you will need to go to the upper left corner of the screen. There is a button there to Commit changes that you have made. Click on this button and wait for the process to end.
6. Now to create a new partition. In the right panel right click again on the drive. Select create partition. It will ask you what type of partition you want to create. Select Fat32 and where it gives you the option for the partition size, use the slide bar to leave the amount of space free that was unallocated in step 5. The reason for this is that when I first partitioned my wife’s I used all of the available space and the iPod didn’t like it. Once you have the size set hit OK (or whatever it is to continue). Go again to the upper right and hit the Commit button. Wait for the changes to happen and then shutdown your system, remove the Knoppix cd and then boot again as normal.
7. Once your system has rebooted start the iPod updater. Once it asks you to plug in your iPod connect your iPod and you should be able to Restore it.
As I said I did this 4 times to make sure it worked and each time both the updater and iTunes saw the iPod with no problems.
At this point you should have your iPod back up and running. I apologize if I haven’t been very detailed here but I’m at work and typing this from memory. I wanted to get this out now while I’m thinking about it because I’m getting ready to go away for a couple of months and won’t have time to do this at home.
Let me know if this works for anyone.
Windows XP Pro
Windows XP Promythic: You do NOT have to use FAT32. You don't even have to delete and recreate the partition. All you have to do is format the hard drive of the iPod. That's it. Your procedure will work even if you format the new partition as NTFS.
But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself.
I've done this exact same thing a hundred times, and I never used Knoppix to do it. All you have to do is:
1. Force the iPod into Disk Mode as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 (note that there's a different procedure for 3G and older iPod's!)
2. Start the iPod Updater (on an XP box). Having the Updater open will prevent iTunes from auto-launching and trying to screw around with the iPod.
3. Connect the iPod. It'll show up as a normal drive letter on the PC (if the PC crashes at this point, that's a Windows specific problem, not an iPod one).
4. Use the Disk Management tool (located in Control Panel->Admin Tools->System Management) to format. Doing this as NTFS is perfectly fine. Do not do a quick format.
5. After the format, go back to the updater and hit Restore.
It works every time. I've posted this like a thousand times, but nobody ever seems to pay attention.
Why does it work? It's simple, really. The Updater's Restore process is broken if there are bad sectors in certain locations. Formatting the iPod's partition like that causes it to do a scan for bad sectors. That's why the format takes so long (quick format skips this scan). The reason NTFS works fine is because one of the things the restore process actually does is to rewrite the iPod's partition table, and in the process it converts that NTFS space back into a FAT32 space. So really it makes no difference what that partition is, Restore will overwrite it anyway.
For information's sake, what the Restore process actually does is to write a disk image onto the iPod's drive. This disk image itself is tricky, but the Restore procedure is not particularly complex. You can even extract that image and write it to the iPod yourself in Linux using dd. That works just as well.
Anyway, when the drive won't write to a specific sector, then the Restore program freaks out. Formatting will remap the unwritable sectors and fix the problem. It's the bad sector remapping that's important here, not the partition layout or the filesystem type. Fix the drive problem and the Restore will work. -
Has anyone found a solution to the iPhone not connecting to iTunes problem yet?
Is there a solution? Or do we just have to wait for Apple to release another update?
Hi DanielHankey,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, this article may help:

Is there a definitive solution to the "Leopard Printer Pause" problem?
Curious if there was any definitive solution to the problem of networked printers pausing instead of printing when a job has been sent to it. I've combed these forums looking for solutions and everything that seems to have work for some has not worked for me, including: connecting via LPD rather than AppleTalk and IP, connecting using HP Jet Direct, setting up the printer using CUPS instead of using the System Prefs, etc. I have a Xerox Phaser 4500 that worked fine under Tiger, but refuses to print without pause issues under 10.5.2 (except, oddly enough and unlike others, it WILL print immediately in CS3 apps, or at least InDesign, where I spend 90% of my time). I've got the latest firmware and PPD for the 4500, but no luck. Here's what Console throws up:
2/19/08 1:24:59 PM Phaser_4500N[8964] CMSCreateDataProviderOrGetInfo : Malformed colorspace
I sure would love to know what's going on. Anything else I should try?RESOLVED
I had the same problem with both my Epson R1800 and CX9400. After 30 minutes with Epson, resulting in the best way to do a clean install of your drivers (outlined in this post:<http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6761221#6761221>), the CSR said that the issue was Apple Related.
I am hesitant to call Apple, but in this case it proved to be the smartest and best solution. The Apple expert found that this is a known issue stemming from the last security update (Security Update 2008-002) resulting in a conflict involving SSH and printing outlined here: ,http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=1437>
The conflict is with a small piece of software called "Instant Hijack" that is installed with many applications offered by Rogue Amoeba. The fix is an update to Rogue Amoeba software such as Audio Hijack Pro. "Instant hijack 2.0.3" is not a stand alone installer, it can only be updated through Rogue Amoeba's software such as Audio Hijack. <http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/>
Hope this helps, it worked perfectly for me and I have been unable to print a single page since the security update.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

Question on the known solution to the "Three pixel text jog" problem
Hello,
I'm "browser-checking" my website using Dreamweaver CS4 tool for that. I've got in various places the "three pixel text jog" IE problem. I followed the link to solution proposed by DW. It says I should add an IE conditional statement in the <head> part, so that I can define the CSS zoom property for that particular element. Hence, something like that:
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#Content p { zoom: 1; } /* three pixel text jog IE bug */
</style>
<![endif]-->
(assuming the problem occurs for a <p> inside my #Content div.)
My question is: can I replace this by
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#Content * { zoom: 1; } /* three pixel text jog IE bug */
</style>
<![endif]-->
For another browser problem (prevent the browsers from using some of their own default settings), it was advised to reset the margin, padding and border properties using:
border: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
(although in my case I had to later remove border: 0; because it would prevent default buttons of forms to be displayed as buttons.)
Does this * really mean "anything"? Is it valid as used above for fixing the three pixel text jog problem? If not, do I really have to define this zoom property for any single HTML element for which it occurs? (It currently occurs for some headers, <div>, "<div> <div>" sequence, some <p>.)
Any comment welcome...

P.S.: I tried it and DW doesn't flag that problem any more, but I'm unsure how much I can trust it.The behavior is unexpected. The file paths are
correct? -
Print Failure: How Do I Reset the CUPS folder?
HP support says the problem with my 4 mo old laser printer is Apple’s cups folder and that it needs to be rest. Can anyone explain this to me and give me directions? Verbiage from the back and forth with HP is below. Thank you very much!!!

Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
If you have already reset the printing system manually with the
instructions that we have provided to you then I would recommend
contacting Apple as it is likely that the cups folder needs to be reset.
If the manual reset did not resolve it then it will need this folder to
be reset in the terminal and only Apple can direct you within the
terminal on your Macintosh.
This should resolve the issue.
Sincerely,
Michelle

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, what you suggest is basically what I had already done as detailed in my initial e-mail to you. Just to be sure, however, I did it again, exactly as you suggested, with the same non-results. The printer is on my USB chain: It shows up in Printer Browser, but it cannot seem to find the drivers it needs. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated! Thank you!

My Request
Hi. I had a system crash yesterday and now cannot get my printer to work. It worked superbly up to this point. OS 10.4.10. 1.6 GHz PPC G5 with 1GB factory RAM. HP LaserJet 1022 installed April 2007.
Ran Software Update and all is up to date. Ran Applejack multiple times. Uninstalled HP LJ 1022 drivers per article on your WEB site. Reinstalled HP LJ 1022 drivers from LJ1022_SeriesOSX.dmg which, when unpacked, led to hp LaserJet 1020 Series.pkg v 1.2.0 (modified 4/27/06 9:23 AM). This takes 10-15 minutes, but eventually completes successfully. I then go to Printer Setup Utility v 4.7 (161.10) and attempt to pick my LaserJet 1022 (I can send you a Grab screen capture (TIFF) if you like). I am able to see the 1022 with USB listed as the connection, and the name at the bottom of the screen reads HP LaserJet 1022 and right under it the location is r-mymac. However, the spinning icon goes for many minutes while it looks for drivers, and eventually stops. If I use the Print Using bar and choose HP, I get a zillion HP options, but can’t find the correct hp LaserJet 1022 option. Of note, the HP 1022 does show up in About this Mac under the USB window. Thus, I’m unable to print. Any help would be greatly appreciated| Thank you very much.Thanks for posting and sharing your knowledge!
Unfortunately, this didn't work. I went to the Printer Setup Utility Finder menu and hit "Reset Printing System" several times. Then I followed thee HP uninstall and then did reset:
(4) How to delete the printer per HP
(a) Close any open windows.
(b) Open the hard drive and proceed to the /Library/Printers/ folder. Drag the HP folder into the Trash.
(c) Open MacHD/Library/Receipts/ and drag hp LaserJet 1022 to the trash.
(d) Open MacHD/Library/Frameworks/and drag libZJBIG.dylib to the trash.
(e) Close any open windows.
(f) Open the hard drive and proceed to the /Applications/Utilities folder
(g) Run the Disk Utility application. Select the appropriate hard drive from the left hand column. Click First Aid tab. Click the button that reads Repair Disk Permissions once. Please note, the repairing of permissions can take mere moments, or continue for a lengthy period depending on how many permissions need to be corrected as well as the quantity of information present.
(h) Restart the Macintosh
Empty the Trash
(j) Install the latest available driver
(k) Went to the Printer Setup Utility Finder menu and hit "Reset Printing System" several times
Any other suggestions? The HP folks said I would have to go to terminal and use UNIX commands to reset the cups, whatever that is.
Thanks again. -
I just rented a film using my apple TV and was then asked to enter a code - which I haven't been asked for in long time. I have forgotten the code. Any quick solutions to the problem?
Hello anetsa
It sounds like you have restrictions setup on your Apple TV. If you do not know your passcode to unlock it, then you will need to restore your Apple TV. Check out the articles below for more information about Restrictions as well as restoring your Apple TV.

I have an early 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro that just went on the fritz. When turning on the power it will go into boot up mode to the gray screen with the apple logo, then the disc icon will be running and will continue running, not allowing to proceed to my desk top screen. It's pretty much locked up at this point where I have to do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. I've tried everything that I know of such as taking battery out and pressing power button for 5 seconds and then reinstalling battery. I've cleaned inside of computer with compressed air duster in can as well as other key commands for resets. I've read that this is a common problem with the earlier MacBook Pros. Is this a problem that I can fix or does it have to be taken in for service? Any solutions to the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem. Here are steps to resolve the former.

Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. I have tried to uninstall iTunes but the Windows uninstaller will not delete the program I get a message that says: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. How do I get iTunes to work again?
Whentrying to uninstall iTunes (the first program that must be uninstalled per the instructions) I get a message: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. I can't even uninstall iTunes?
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
