Adding printer to chooser

I have a Mac G4 and I bought an old Epson C86 because it would work with OS 9. It works fine with OS 9.2 except that I can't get it to print in Printmaster Gold, a card program I use.
I can't change the chooser to list the C86. Can anyone help?

Usually you have to select a printer in the Chooser before you use it. You say the printer works fine but you can't see it in the Chooser. I'm confused.
I recall my Epson printer came with floppies anda Cd that had the necessary Mac drivers. Have you installed those? If not, maybe you can dowload a copy off Epson's website.

Invalid port number when adding printer

I try to add a OKIB4250 connected to my Ubuntu server with CUPS. It works fine with WinXP, but not with OSX. When I add the printer, I choose IPP, the network adress (http://10.0.0.7:631/printers/B42502), leave the queue open. Under the adress line there is a message saying: "invalid port number. The port number must be in between 1 and 65535."
Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

Try removing everything after the IP address - 10.0.0.7. If a queue name is requested either provide one of your own or let OS X assign its own queue name. Out of curiosity the default for the router is usually 10.0.1.x. Be sure you are using an IP address in the router's DHCP address range.

Printservicelookup does not list newly added printer in OAS R2.

Hi,
We are using OAS R2 Server and JDK 1.5. In our application we have a scenario where we will display the list of printers configured to the Server. The below is the code we are using to get the list of printers configured in the server.
Code:
AttributeSet aset = new HashAttributeSet();
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null,aset);
The above code works fine to display the existing printers configured in the server. But when ever we add a new printer to the server, it is not listed. We have even restarted the server and the machine after adding the printer,Still it does not display the newly added printer. Any help would be greatly appreciated?
P.S: The same code works fine in OAS R3 server, after restarting the server it displays the newly added printer.

I can't print from my 27" late 2013 iMac. I am using an epson stylus 3800 pro. I updated driver and added printer in system preferences. When i print the printer queue opens and shows the job as "stopped". Supply level shows "information is not available which maybe part of problem...thank you

The first thing you could try is a reset of the printing system. Please note that this action will remove all printers and scanners from the Printers & Scanners preference pane.
With the reset complete, unplug the Epson USB cable from the Mac for a minute and then reconnect it. This action should result in the printer being added again to the Mac automatically. If this does happen, then see if you can print again.
If the printer is not added again automatically, open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add the Epson. Once this is done, then see if you can print again.

Adding new printer in chooser old OS

I just hooked up a new HP Deskjet 5940 to my old PowerMac G4 ronning on OS 10.2.8.

Adding printer NEW AP extreme utility.app

I want to add a printer that is connect directly to my PC and has a wifi connection, too. My mac has always used the wifi to print, and with an old Netgear it worked fine. Now with a brand new AP extreme (2015) it doesn't. The utility app doesn't allow me to choose such a peripheral. Plus it doesn't look like what other people have from last December even. Help!
Thanks.

My mac has always used the wifi to print, and with an old Netgear it worked fine.
Were you printing via the Windows PC shared printer (wifi is then merely used for network and the share happens from the PC) or was the printer also wifi connected to the router?
In the new setup with the AE printer should be wifi connected directly to the router. The method of doing that is in the main menu area.. ie up the top.. not in the boxes of the AE itself.
So go to the main top menu.. but if you use Yosemite it looks different.
Change from Pin to First attempt and the Printer will then be network connected to the AE.
Once you do that.. remove the existing setup completely in the Mac and start over.. adding the printer that is now wifi connected to the AE.

No bonjour when adding printer

I am trying to connect a Lexmark e310 to my Macbook using Airport express. The airport express is set up, but when I go to the printer setup utility to add the printer, there is no Bonjour option. I can choose default browser or IP printer. In the IP printer I have 3 options in the protocol box, but no Bonjour.
I did find a list that said that the e310 was compatible with Bonjour, but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. This setup does work with an e322, but I've moved that printer.
Thanks.

I guess you should be using the HP Deskjet 840C Gimp-Print driver included in OS X. Is that the one you tried?
Look in the manual for the print server - which protocols does it support? If TCP/IP raw or port 9100, that equals IP printer >HP Jetdirect in OS X. That's the easiest one. Can you use a browser to log into the print server and find out the port name/queue name for the LPD or IPP protocol?
Before adding printers again, try Reset Printer Setup, a menu item in Printer Setup. Then restart the Mac, then Add.

Hi Raed_B,
Thank you for answering my question, and trying the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Sorry it did not work for you, I do have some more suggestions to try:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Make sure the firewall is disabled. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Make sure antivirus is disabled. Disable antivirus software.
Re-install the software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this will help resolve your issue, and have a good day!

Adding PRINT Button on a List Item Page

Hi,
We have an existing custom list for our asset tracking. We are required to make the list item's page printable by adding a "PRINT" button on it. Currently, a list item's page has a "Close" button together with the following tabs such as: "New Item", "Edit Item", "Delete Item", "Manage Permissions", and "Alert Me". "Print" button should be like the "Close" button. Once the "Print" button will be click then a "Print" window will appear to select the printer to use. It will print only the list item's content and not the whole page.
Is there anyone who implemented as what describes above? Please help me how to implement this.
Thank you in advance.
Jack

Hi,
You can refer to the following two articles to add a "print list" option to the list actions menu:

Hi Rock,
Thank you for giving those links.
I checked it and it was almost the same with Andre's posting. I did not try to install since as i understand, i need to do it in the server that hosted our portal which i'm afraid of doing it. I'm not an advanced user of sharepoint so i'm very careful of doing changes or enhancement to our portal.

Newly added printer is not showing up in printer list in Acrobat 11.0.3

Hello,
We are using Acrobat Pro 11.0.3. We recently added a new printer and that printer does not show up for one user of the machine in Acrobat. It shows up in other applications and under Printers. Other users who log into the machine can see the printer in Acrobat. I have uninstalled Acrobat, rebooted, reinstalled. I have also removed referenced to Adobe under HKEY_CURRENT_USER as well as APPDATA to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Solved] Adding Printer Marks to a Pages document in Acrobat

By "Printer Marks" I mean "bleeds" and "crop marks".
A bleed is the area of the paper that will be trimmed off after the job is printed.
Crop marks indicate the exact place where the paper is to be trimmed.
Background:
I normally do programming and web development, but, after having spent about three hours fiddling around tryng to transform our Pages-made brochure into something to send to commercial printers, I thought I'd record the process so as not to waste so much time on the next occasion we do something similar.
I thought I'd share this with other Pages users because Pages has no native support for Printer Marks and PDF files contain this as metadata, so a commercial printer will expect this to be properly set up. I believe their printers may even read the PDF metadata.
Required:
Pages and Acrobat Pro. (I have Pages '09 and Acrobat 9 Pro - updated from the one originally distributed with Adobe CS3)
Recipe:
Set up a custom page size in Pages.
e.g. For an A4 sheet size (210 x 297 mm), the Pages "Page Setup" should specify 220 x 307 mm allowing for a 5mm bleed all round.
'Print' the document to 'Adobe Acrobat PDF' (which, for me, automatically opens up Acrobat Pro 9)
In Acrobat, go to: Advanced >> Print Production >> Crop Pages
The excellent article at http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/page_boxes explains the Acrobat box model and points out that PDF files will embed this important info for the printer:
The Trimbox (defining the intended dimensions of the finished page): e.g. A4
the BleedBox and the MediaBox which are e.g. 5mm bigger all round the A4 sheet and will contain the Printer Marks.
So: You only need to edit the margins of the Trimbox on "All Pages". Acrobat will add the Printer Marks outside the TrimBox.
Ensure no other margins are accidentally edited.
The MediaBox is the imported page size and is not editable in the Crop Pages dialog
The Bleedbox you wil most likely want to be the same as the Mediabox so won't need editing. Ensure it's 0,0,0,0.
The TrimBox is editable - and should be edited - here (e.g. add 5mm 'margins' all round to allow for the bleed.)
Click OK: Now if you specified margins for the CropBox …. but why would you? ... but this may be default Acrobat behaviour! .. you will have cropped out the screen area where the Printer Marks will be displayed.
Go to Advanced >> Print Production >> Add Printer Marks
I didn't check "All Marks" because I had a spurious Registration? "capstan" added in the middle of a page on one occasion. I checked Trim Marks, Bleed Marks and Color Bars. … on "All Pages".
Click OK; Command+S to save file.
Good to go!

Use the Add Printer Marks tool:

Print by choosing paper source by PDF page size from MAC

I have an iMAC with Maverick OS. I am printing to both an HP 401 monochrome laser printer and an HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw Color Printer. I receive .pdf files which contain both letter and legal sized pages. I know that I cannot print out letter and legal size pages by selecting "choose paper source by PDF page size" from my MAC. This does present a problem for me (and I'm sure many others). What I would like to know is 1) is there a way around this problem and 2) are there any plans for Adobe to address a resolution to this issue by fixing the option so that MAC users can achieve the same level of ease of print results as Window users? There is certainly a large segment of the population who are now MAC users. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I did go to that link and asked the same
information of Adobe directly. Their NB at the bottom of the page says
that due to the large number of questions asked and information requested,
they usually do NOT respond to the users. Too bad. How else are we
supposed to get valid info? I believe almost all the other software
vendors do have a contact location from which they will address user's
concerns and will contact you with some kind of info. Welcome to the new
world of customer service!! i.e., Go figure it out by yourself!!

Adding print slide or window button

I am trying to print the quiz results page and the only thing I can find is to add a smart shape button and change the action to "execute_JavaScript". In the script_window i'm simply adding one line of code "window.print()". The problem I'm running into is when I publish my project the slide containing the print button shows up completely blank. Any idea whay I am doing wrong here? I tried adding a widget as well, but my system does not have a print widget available.

Where do you see the target='_top"? I went looking for the original button from my original post which was in the http://web.me.com/toad.hall/HelperSite//Page1_files/widget3markup.html page via the Activity window and view source and this is what the code of that widget page is:
<xmp>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title></title></head><body><form>
<input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();">
</form> </body></html>
</xmp> (Ignore the <xmp></xmp> tags when using)
I don't see the target='_top" in there. What am I missing? This was my first post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9134142#9134142.
Thanks for the help.

Adding printer marks the quick way

Is my workflow sound?
I print a magazine that has many many ads submitted by clients via pdf and the ads invariably fail to contain printer marks, have no bleed set and are of improper page size. The ads are big enough to cover the proper page size and extend past the bleed but in order to add printer marks I have to set the art box, trim box, crop box and bleed box in Acrobat and then afterwards I can add printer marks. This is time consuming when you are dealing with over 300 ads and you have a deadline.
So, I just place and center the pdf in an empty InDesign document that has the proper page size and the proper bleed and just export it back to PDF using a preset that include printer marks. Easy Peasy.
My question is should I set Output (in the Export to PDF dialog box) to "No Color Conversion" since they are already cmyk pdfs? If I leave it to "Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers) - which is my default - I assume that is fine too since the incoming ads are already separated for US Web Coated SWOP 2 and that is my default cmyk working space. I shouldn't have to worry about color changes either way correct?
I also set compression to none in the Export to PDF dialog box since the ad was already exported to pdf once already.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
-Mark

Are all of these ads supposed to be full page w/ bleed? I've never understood why anyone would want marks or bleeds on anything that wasn't.
In any case, I can't see that adding marks to one of these ads before you place it is of much use to you. If you are presuming the centering when you add the marks, just presume that when you place the ad in the magazine (but perhaps I've misunderstood and that's what you are doing). There's no benefit to any intermediate addition of fictitious marks.
I would export the magazine using whatever your normal settings are. Preserve numbers is safe, it won't make rich black type, but colors will shift if the wrong space was used to create the ad. No conversion is probably not a good idea on the off chance that there are spot or RGB colors included -- you never know...
I also would use the refular compression settings you normally use. I've been told that ID "internalizes" placed PDF and handles the compression on the images just as if they were placed directly. It won't compress them more unless the original settings were higher than the ones you use.
