Acrobat CS3 won't print through XServe print server

Acrobat CS3 won't print through our XServe print server when connected by AppleTalk. Everything else prints fine. You can print the same .pdf with AppleTalk through Preview. And you can print with Acrobat through any other protocol but AppleTalk. The job spools, looks like it's going through but never reaches it's destination. We have 19 printers so it's not a single printer being cranky, and 35 Macs so it's not just a single Mac. All our users are on Active Directory and all are on the same subnet and VLAN.

Hello Scott,
If you look at the cups error log on the Xserve, does it give any clues as to why the Acrobat spool file is failing? Hopefully there is some indication as to which process is failing and why.
We're not using AppleTalk on our Xserve. All printer connections are set via LPR so I cannot offer any advice based on experience.

Can't print through Linksys Print Server with PowerMac G5

Just wondering if anyone out there has been able to print using their PowerMac while spooling through a print server, specifically a Linksys PSUS4? I have a desktop and a laptop PC and a PowerMac g5 1.6Ghz and a MacBook Pro 2.0Ghz and only the HP laptop is able to print when my Epson R340 printer is routed through the print server.
I was using a Belkin switchbox to switch between USB hubs when printing with the desktop computers and this worked fine, other than having to remember to switch the connection when using a different computer.
Since then, I have added a Linksys wireless G router and a Linksys PSUS4 print server to allow the two laptops to print wirelessly. Now the only machine I can print from is the HP PC laptop. Neither desktop can print, nor my Macbook.
I am trying to use GIMP to print with my G5. When I send a jpb, it spools all the way through the job, but the printer never responds or prints a single sheet.
Again, I am using a PowerMac G5, 1.6Ghz and MacOS 10.4.8.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

I've only been able to get it to work with my wife's HP laptop. So far, GIMP priting with the Mac is a no-go. It spools, but the printer just sits there.
As of now, I'm trying to print from my wife's desktop, which is an older model eMachines 1.1Ghz with XP Professional. Right now, it's just sitting there with a "Printing" window.
I have called Linksys, but to no avail. Couldn't understand they guy was speaking with. According to a networking friend of mine, there must be a PC host machine which is on all the time which acts as a "bridge" to get the files to the printserver. I don't know about that, but my father-in-law uses a PSUS4 to print wirelessly from 2 PC laptos with no problems.
Gonna try calling Linksys back and see if I get anywhere with that. If not, we'll try another route.
I'll post with what I find out.

Connecting printer through wireless Print Server

Wireless Dlink DPR-1260, hooked up to network. ( using Linksys wireless router and Windows XP Home)
Two usb printer ports. Loaded HP laserjet 2300 series using the print server software wizard.. works fine...prints remotely.
The P.S. created the tcp/ip ports and loaded the drivers after requesting the HP driver disk.
But, when loading the HP color laserJet 2550 series, it asks for the disk, but says the driver inf files not available. I downloaded from the HP web site the XP drivers, and when I pointed to the unzipped files, said the same thing.
I used the XP driver... should I have used the Universal Print Driver?
On the P.S. screen the HP 2300 shows up as HP LaserJet 2300 series, and the LPR Queque name is : LaserJet 2300
But when I manually loaded the 2550, The name shows up as HP color LaserJet 2550 ser and the Queque name is color LaserJet 25.
Both printers work fine connected directly to the printer, but the 2550 will not print through the P.S.
Since the drivers for the 2550 are loaded and it prints when hard wired, tell me how to find the drivers installed on the computer, so I can point to them there.
Thanks

Printing with the built-in network protocols (Windows Printing, IP printing) requires a CUPS print driver. HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers (yet) - their drivers are written to only use USB. You can try the HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver included in OS X.
There is no CUPS driver for your specific model, that I can find.

Printing through Windows 2003 server

I'm the only Mac in the house and have been printing through our Windows 2003 server just fine until this week after my last Apple Update. When printing to any printer on our system, (I have reset printers with no change to results), I get a heading with my name, plus (RE: my job), and a bold underscore with the following message below the line:
%%[Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: languagelevel]%%
%%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ingnored]%%
This has only become a problem in the last week. I first noticed the problem on my G5, but I just plugged my Powerbook G4 into our Ethernet system with the same results.
Power Mac7,3 (G5) Mac OS X (10.4.7) Windows Server 2003

I am not aware of what drivers were used before or if there has been a change. I used the standard print utility and it identified all printers on the system and I just added them. Printing was no problem until this last week.

Can't see printer through windowsxp printer hp

hello. just bought a new imac. i am trying to set up the printer - hp laserjet 3300 - mfp series (usb). I cannot see it through the printer browser setup (more printers ..). All it shows is the windows computer(win1 say). When I choose this win1 name it says "connect to the printer "win1" as: name and password.
But this isn't the name of the printer!! Bit confused. I didn't have to do anything special to connect the other windows xp machine to the printer (oh actually I had to run the hp cd and let it do the network finding thing- I did that on mac but didn't give me the same network setup options)
I can see files and connect to the windows maching through the network and I can print from other connected windows xp machines (both xp pro sp2).
Anyway, I don't expect a response, but if there is anyone out there with similar solved problems,I'd love to hear them
Thanks
Martin

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

Paper won't pull through the printer

I've tried cleaning the rollers. Thought that was going to help but it still won't pull paper through. It pulls through more than one sheet and creates a paper jam or it will take one sheet but sounds like it is printing but isn't pulling the paper through and is not printing. This is a fairly recent problem, after I got a Scam computer protector called Vista. I've removed that, but things haven't been the same.

Try this. Hope this helps.

Encore CS3 won't start through Premiere or directly

I recently installed Premiere Pro CS3 with Encore. I completed a short highlight video that I was working on, and attempted to export to Encore. After I selected the direct burn option in Premiere, the video converted alright, and then (I assume from the description in the settings window) Encore tried to open to burn the video to DVD. There was a blank DVD in my drive at the time I did so, if that matters. After waiting 5 mins or so, all I saw was a white window in the middle of screen, and my cursor in 'working in the background' mode. I force quit out of Encore, and attempted to start it directly without any further luck. When trying to start it directly, I saw no white window, but the program was running in task manager, as it was when it tried to run through Premiere.
I'm doing all of this on a brand new machine:
AMD Phemom X4 Quad Core 2.3ghz
8GB DDR2
ATI Radeon HD 3200
Vista SP1
I can provide more information if needed. Thanks in advance.

The first thing that I would do is apply the detective work in this ARTICLE to see if there is some systemic issue. Be very sure to follow any links in any error/warning message at the time that Encore fails. Matter of fact, I would launch Encore, and then follow the tips in the article, to make sure that things were current.
If there are no clues, then I'd try a Repair Install, in hopes that a missing, or corrupt .dll, or similar, would be replaced, or reparied.
I've seen very few instances of Encore not launching, especially as a stand-alone.
Good luck,
Hunt

Unable to enable duplex printing through e-Print (Print on both sides - flip pages on short edges)

I need to print on both sides on the HP Envy 100 - 410a. How do I enable this feature. Everytime I try this on ePrint, I have the email attachment printing out on two separate papers. If I print direct from the document, then this does correctly print on the same paper on both sides, just the way I want it.
I need to get ePrint to work on both sides of the paper (flip pages by short edges) by emailing the attachment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, Duplex is not supported on ePrint at this moment.
I work for HP.

Always duplex printing when printing through cups server

I have about 6 printers which people normally accesses through a cups server running on a Linux box.
We have always printed through the cups server from the Macs we have - and this has always worked great (they get auto-detected as shared printers and so on).
But a few months ago something changed on the Macs - they can now ONLY print duplex - nomatter what i tell them to do in the print dialog. When printing first to a postscript file and then sending the postscript file to the printer (via terminal/lpr) everything gets printing correctly - but when using the printing dialog it always prints duplex.
When printing to the printers directly (many different models) everything works - but going through the cups server - only duplex.
All our Linux machines prints both duplex and simplex as they should, so the cups server isn't the problem.
Has anybody else had this problem?
Other OS

Armin,
You need to do the following to make the duplex printing work for postscript in Oracle Reports.
You need a printer with duplex option and an appropriate PPD file.
You also need the Unix tool sed to filter the output file.
The problem is that duplexing is enabled in the job level set up of the PostScript document but gets reset in the page set up because paper size and printer tray information is generated for every page. The workaround would be to write a script, which removes page level set-up information for the paper size and printer tray set up commands. As a side effect of this - it is no longer possible to switch the printer tray between pages.
Write a sed script file called 'duplexsed' with the following three lines. This
/^%%BeginPageSetup/,$ {
/^%%BeginFeature/,/^%%EndFeature/d
Copy the file to an appropriate directory, for example $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
Set the environment variable TK_PRINT:
TK_PRINT="sed -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/duplexsed | lpr -l -s -P'%n' -#'%c'"
export TK_PRINT
Note that the print command is different for the various kinds of Unix.
You may need to refer your installation guide and make changes to the lpr command
Thanks

Trying to print through Linksys router

Hey there,
I'm trying to get a co-worker's Macbook to print through the Linksys router we have set up in the office, but it's proving to be more difficult than I imagined.
I've located the printer through System Preferences, and strangely enough she DOES have Internet access (browser, mail, etc), however printing doesn't want to work for some reason.
Has anyone had experience networking Macs with Linksys routers? And if so, how can we get the Macbook to print through it?
Any advice is very appreciated.

hey, i did have the same problem for a while, i had a linksys router setup through a print server. if your printing through a print server, make sure that it has a static IP address and then just put in the information in the printers folder.
if your not using a print server, try enabling windows sharing, printer sharing and personal file sharing in system preferences > sharing folder.

Client printer on oracle application server

Hi all.
I configured my own system on oracle application server and I connected my printer on client machine.
When I wanted to print through the application server on the printer I did not print.
Please could anyone shows me where is the error file (for the printer) located in oracle application server to check the error.

No. Not only it isn't certified, but it is also impossible to run forms compiled with the 11g compiler with the 10g runtime. For 11g there is a install bundle for the developer suite / application server.

Lion 10.7.5 cant connect to printer via Buffalo print server

Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end with this one having spent over 20 hours on it.
I have a Macbook Air running Lion 10.7.5 and a Macbook running OSX 10.6.8. I have a Photosmart 8050 printer attached to a Buffalo Linkstation Live LS-CH1 running firmware 1.60 (the latest version for this model). The Linkstation has a printserver which is attached via USB to the printer, the Linkstation is attached to a wireless router, for amound other things, wireless printing.
The long and the short of my problem is, I can get the Macbook running 10.6.8 to print without a problem, works fantastic, but I can not get the Air running 10.7.5 to print through the print server even though the printers are installed the very same way on both machines. The error from the print que is "unable to connect to printer" even though it seems to connect successfully to the Linkstation, as in my setup a username and password must be entered to access the printer, even though a user is logged in to the file server. Not to get confused, I am 99% convinced the problem is with the Macbook Air running 10.7.5.
I installed the printers using the Windows method, Workgroup -> Linkstation -> Printer then selecting the HP 8000 series driver version 5.0.4. I have also tried every other install method available, however as I understand it, this is the recommended method for this print server setup.
I have checked the network setup, driver versions and even though it does not seem to cover my printer have GutenPrint 5.2.9 installed.
The printer does work when connected directly to USB however.
If anyone has any idea why I cant get the Macbook Air running 10.7.5 to print via the print server on the Linkstation when 10.6.8 works perfectly, then please HELP!
Thank you

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait for few minutes.
Connect the router back to to the wall.
Power the router back on. Wait until all lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Create a print button to print one frame

I am trying to create a print button on the last frame that will allow the user to print just that frame. I've tried using the printjob object, but all that I can get to happen is print a blank sheet of paper. Here is the code that I have so far:
function printScore(event:MouseEvent):void
    var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
    var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
    printJob.start();
    printJob.addPage(sprite);
    printJob.send();
btn_print.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printScore);
If I right-click and choose print while viewing the .swf file, it prints correctly. What am I missing in order to make my last frame print through my print button?

Mac Printing with a printer server and Windows XP desktop

I have the following configuration:
Dell Desktop running XP
Apple iBook G4 running 10.4
Linksys Router
Linksys Print Server
I can't get my iBook to print through the print server. I have tried IP Printing and provided the printer server IP Address and correct printer driver "HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs (which I think is now part of 10.4). When I try to print I get the following message, "Printer Busy; will retry in 10 sec. I have also had Connecting to 192.168.1.78 on port 630... and nothing happens.
Any suggestions? I am at wits end because nothing is working. I know that my wireless router and print server are working because I ping'd them from the PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On windows, the setup software fills in required info like print server queue name - but we don't have that software on the Mac.
Look in the print server manual and check the supported protocols - LPD and IPP require a queue name which you can find in the manual. HP Jetdirect protocol doesn't need a queue name, and is called TCP/IP raw or socket 9100 printing in some manuals.
Good luck.

Wireless Printing with Netgear Print Server and HP Officejet 6110

Setting up my wife's iMac for wireless printing (Mac is in Kitchen, printer in home office).
We have a Netgear router and her internet connection (wireless) is fine.
I configured the WGPS606 via a Vista laptop and have effectively printed through to the server wirelessly from the laptop.
I downloaded and installed the drivers for the HP printer to the mac and have successfully printed when connected via USB (brought the printer to the kitchen to test)
In adding the IP printer, I am able to set up an IP printer fine, but the HP driver does not appear in the dropdown menu.
I have been able to get the iMac to ping the Print Server and choosing another HP driver does spool, but with gibberish of course.
I believe the problem is that I can't figure out how to get the new driver to appear in the dropdown in the printer settings, which should solve the problem, I think.
Advice?
Thank you.

Unfortunately, there are two kinds of driver on OS X (not like Windows), Carbon and CUPS. To use the CUPS standard network protocols like IP printing, you have to use CUPS drivers. HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers (yet). Install the hpijs 3-part set:
