After installing 10.6.8, printer goes to pause mode, reinstalling printer doesn't change anything.

Printer is an HP 5850 connected to Apple Time Capsule via ethernet, and shared by two Apple Macs each running 10.6.8.  Printer was using HP Photosmart P1000 driver as there is no HP 5850 driver available for 10.6.  Printer was working fine in both text and graphics/photos until software update 10.6.8 was installed.  Now, after starting a print, the printer goes into pause mode.  Continued attempts to resume printing result in printer going to pause mode.  Deleting and reinstalling printer doesn't do anything, nor does installing latest HP printer drivers.  What is going on here?

The 10.6.8 update changed a number of printer backend services. For many brands of printer this has stopped them from printing, although usually there is an error message associated with the print job rather than the queue simply pausing.
You can check if you are getting an error by selecting the paused job in the print queue and pressing the blue Job Info button. If there is no mention of a backend failure then you may be able to get your printer working again by simply opening Print & Fax, selecting the HP printer and presssing the minus button under the list to remove the printer. Then click the plus button to add the printer again.
If selecting the Job Info button for the paused print job does reveal that there has been some sort of backend failure then have a look at this thread. There is a lot of information to go through but there are responses with links to scripts that can recover your previous 10.6.7 backend services, assuming you are using Time Machine.

  • Konica Minolta Bizhub C450 Printer Goes into Pause

    Hello.
    WHen I bought this iMac (this past winter) I had no issues using our Konica Minolta Bizhub C450.  A KM tech rep suggested (for no reason) that I upgrade to the latest KM driver.
    That was a disaster.  I went back to the old driver.  A couple of months later suddenly everything I print goes into pause.
    I was able to work around by using the printer through another, older iMac via sharing.  Now that is not working.
    Any suggestions??????
    What is Apple or KM saying about this?

    Hi Nachos,
    First I installed the driver via the CD that came with the printer and upon "install completion", Nothing.
    Then I installed the latest driver (for 10.6 or later OS) driver from the Konica Minolta website and Nothing.
    I do not get Software Updates for this printer, I'm not sure why.
    No, the printer does not show up in my list of Printers when I go into System Prefs ---> Print & Scan. It did 3 days ago, now nothing.
    I'm thinking it doesn't like the Lion upgrade or the updates that have taken place since.... I need to get a new printer, I believe.
    Anyone else have thoughts?

  • After Mavericks Update Arris Modem now going to standby mode when iMac sleeps

    After installing Mavericks on iMac, whenever the iMac (connected wirelessly to the network with Airport Extreme 5th Gen) goes to sleep it is causing our modem to enter standby mode which limits internet access to all devices on the wireless network even when they are actively requesting data from the internet. As soon as the iMac is woken up the modem comes back out of sleep/standby mode and everything works fine. The modem is connected directly to the Airport Extreme WAN port and all devices just use wireless internet. The only resolution I've found is stopping the iMac from entering sleep mode in Energy Settings but this is not a long term solution. Anyone else having this issue?
    The modem we have is an Arris TM722G.
    Thanks in advance.
    I've also tried resetting PRAM, creating a new network location, releasing and renewing IP.

    If you can get the computer to start in Recovery, then access OS X Utilities,
    an attempt could be made to Repair Disk using the Disk Utility there...
    Several instances of an upgrade leading to issues in Mac OS X was due
    to some previous condition in the computer, or problem in the hard drive,
    or maybe insufficient or low-quality RAM installed; among others, before
    the last OS X upgrade was installed. And then the extra effort of processing
    a new OS on top of other bits, can cause the computer to act up or fail.
    What was the previous OS X version? How old is the iMac...?
    Did you upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2?

  • After installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 2009 (japanese keyboard) the layout doesn't work. I mean if I press the @ button the è symbol comes out. I tried to change the layout in Preferences but doesn't work. Could anyone help me please?

    Hi there
    after installing Mavericks on my macbookpro 2009 (Japanese keyboards) the layout doesn't work anymore. I mean, if I press the "@" button the "è" symbol comes out. I did already change the layout in the Preferences but it didn't work.
    Could anyone help me please?

    Apple has changed the way Kotoeri keyboard layouts work.  You should be able to get normal behavior if you activate the US layout and switch to that just before using Kotoeri.  Here is also an Apple note on the topic with another suggestion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5284
    Be sure to tell Apple you want this changed back to the way if was in 10.8 and earlier via

    If you know Japanese well, you might ask on the Japanese discussions whether someone has found a better fix for this:

  • After installing Yosemite my Imac just goes to a white screen and freezes, it has been there for almost 36 hours any ideas as to why it is taking so long?

    I have downloaded Yosemite from the App store and I attempted to upgrade from OS X 10.9.5. It is stuck on a white screen with a moveable mouse pointer but that is it. I can't get Command + L to work, so I can see any progress that is being made and I have tried to force boot it twice. Each time I force boot the machine I get a progress bar that goes about half way across and then just a blank white screen. I have read on some blogs that patience is the best procedure for this freeze but I have been waiting for almost 36 hours now and nothing is happening. One thing I want to mention is I have VMWare installed with a virtual machine of 300gigs, could this be the cause of the hangup? My 27inch IMAC is about 3 or 4 years old with a terabyte hard drive and 32gigs of ram. I have unplugged everything from the back except the network cable. Is about 36 hours reasonable for an upgrade? Is there a way to cut my losses and revert back to OS X 10.9.5?

    When you start your notebook press F8 to enter Advanced boot options.
    Is Repair my computer option available?
    If yes choose it and press ENTER. Follow the menu on the screen and when you will see System recovery options try to use System Restore option.
    Do you have some important data saved on your notebook?
    If not install OS again using HDD recovery option and after 2 hours you will have clean preinstalled OS and everything will be OK again.

  • After installing update 11.0.07, I have been unable to print pdf douments from websites displayed in I.E. 11

    I just installed 11.0.07 and since then have been unable to print pdf documents from websites displayed in I.E. 11 (32 bit). The problem did not exist until I installed the update. Opening the same sites with Chrome solves the problem, but some of the important sites I use, (FAA WebOPPS for instance) don't work with Chrome or anything other than I.E. for that matter. Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of the bug and working on a fix?

    Let me put it in context.I am a developer, and in my work we create a flex application a few years ago and we are providing support to this application. Since 2 days ago th button we create in our application for View PDF just stopped working. We use this code:
    public function navigate( url:String ):void
      navigateToURL( new URLRequest( url ), OPEN_NEW_WINDOW );
    It is very simplistic and worked fine as I told you, until Tuesday this week. Please tell me what happened, it seems the last plugin version crashes somewhere and my button just does not work any more.
    Thank you.

  • After installing updates my atv2 screen goes blank and led flashes rapidly

    I just bought my atv2 and it told me to update, which I did, and then my screen went black and the led light started blinking rapidly. This is the second one in 2 days. I have tried disconnecting the hdmi, power, and holding down the arrow keys to reboot and still nothing.

    I recently got this ipod from the Apple store because my previous one broke. They gave me the ipod and right when I plugged it in, the screen turned an offwhite color, made a quiet buzzing sound and flashed. After a week of this it mysteriously started working so I didn't put much thought into it, I was just happy my iPod worked. Then after a month or two, it randomly started doing the same thing. No matter if I plug it in or not, the screen flashes a blank off white page.
    It is also possible that your iPod has entered one of its "Sleep" modes. When it hasn't been used in a while, it goes through a couple of stages of this to preserve the battery's charge.
    Try pressing the iPod's center button to wake it from sleep.
    If this fails, start with a reset of the iPod (hold Menu & center buttons) and work your way through the rest of the 5 R's.

  • Help! After installing 10.7 the finder goes into a 'quit unexpectedly' loop.

    Any ideas? I've unplugged all peripherals and deleted all login items. I've seen on other forums that deleting the finder's preferences file in your user library may be a solution on earlier OS versions, but
    a) there no longer appears to be a user library
    b) how can you get to the file (if it's elsewhere) if you can't open finder?
    Help!

    Now managed to unhide the user library via the terminal, delete the two finder pref files = no difference...just going to have to create a new user account and import all the docs etc into that via another Mac using remote access...sigh

  • My ipod goes into pause mode after about 20 seconds, I have to touch the screen as it starts to fade out to keep it on

    My ipod nano is fully charged and while playing will automatically go into pause mode as the light starts to dim it eventually stops.  If I touch the screen before it blacks out it will continue to play.  It will play continuously if I am charging it into an electrical outlet

    I have the same problem with my new nano.  On one forum, there was a recommendation to restore, which will wipe all the music.  A second forum suggested the was an inherent problem in the 1.1 firmware and suggested a roll-back to 1.0, which sounds painful as well.  Any clarification will be greatly appreciated

  • HP PHOTOSMART ALL-IN-ONE 5510 WONT PRINT AFTER GOING TO SLEEP MODE

    My printer model:
    HP PHOTOSMART ALL-IN-ONE 5510 B111A
    Problem:
    Printer goes to sleep mode. After 25-30 minutes the wireless connection between the PC and the printer breaks. Blue Wireless light is on even at the sleep mode and I can see that the printer is connected to my router and there is internet connection. HP Print and Scan Doctor sees the printer but I cannot awake the printer unless I restart it. 
    What I have tried so far:
    I have tried all the solutions hp.com offered including; reinstalling driver, updating printer software, setting static IP to printer, setting static DNS servers, using HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    I have seen people asked about this question before and there was no solution. I really need HP help!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Let’s try this.  Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled.  Set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of the router.  Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.  Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.  Always use WPA2-AES encryption.  Power off both.  Power on router wait 3 mins.  Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.  Now try.
    Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.
    If my post resolved your problem, please mark it as an Accepted Solution ...
