All printing fails

hello there.
since yesterday print commands from all programs fails to perfom and come up with errors
message on safari, preview etc says
print
error while printing
while on MS word (2004)
says
"word cannot print due to problem wiht the current printer.
make sure you have a printer selected in print centre. you may need to print again or adjust your printer settings."
I have checked the printer settings and it has selected an HP 1320 (one of the 10 printers which I have access to in the university network). Sophos (v4) have also come with a series of errors saying there is not enough memory to check certain folders. I do have about 5GB hdd and 512mb ram which was OK till yesterday
any suggestions

"have about 5GB hdd and 512mb ram"
krshi,
While your RAM should be sufficient at this time, its limited amount is one factor placing greater demands for free space on your HDD. Only 5GB free on your 80GB HDD might be the current problem. If not, as free space continues to dwindle, it most certainly will be important before long. 5GB free space is marginal, as you probably need at least 5GB for normal OS swap space. Some users report their OS X needs 10GB free space. You might be able to test your current needs by temporarily freeing up some space. Perhaps you have a couple of large apps that you don't use, that you could easily re-install from their discs. Deleting something like World Book and iDVD might together free up about 1GB of space. After rebooting, if you find you can suddenly print, you'll know you need to free up even more space to avoid potential problems.

Yoga 2 Pro upgrade to Win10 & all printing fails

I just recently upgraded to WIndows 10 and can no longer print. The print dialog box never appears and any program I use just hangs until "not reponding." I have also tried to check for upgraded drivers and searching for those on the internet through Device Manager results in the same hang up.Any ideas as to how to fix this? ThanksPaul

A/ Just make sure they are on the same subnet. Sometimes you have to wait for a couple of minutes for them to 'see' eachother
B/ Do you have an anti-virus or firewall active?
C/ Also check that file sharing is enabled for the Y2P"
1. Open Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center
2. Change advanced sharing settings
3. Turn on 'Network Discovery' for private or public networks depending on how you configured your network at home on the Y2P.

Acrobat X on OS X 10.6.8 Printing Fails

I am printing to an Epson Stylus Photo 280, and have installed the lastest Epson Printer Update 2.7 via software update.
Whenever I try and print the printer starts to make noise, but then the printing fails and I get the following error message every time:
"Error: /Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/contents/MacOS/rasteroes cpll failed"
I can print any PDF using preview, but nothing prints via Acrobat X. Any PDF I try instantly fails.
Does anyone have any ideas on this, as bascially this makes Acrobat X pretty useless.

Well it certainly seems to be driver related.
After looking at the console logs, I decided to try out the latest Gutenprint CUPS drivers and I installed Gutenprint 5.2.7 for my Epson Stylues R280, and low and behold, if I use the Gutenprint driver, I can get Acrobat to Print. So bascially this looks like something incompatible with the Epson driver. Is anyone able to print to an R280 using Acrobat X with the Apple installed Epson drivers? Am I the only one with this problem?
The problem of asking that question is that it's probably pretty unlikely that anyone else actually running an Epson Stylus R280 and Acrobat X under 10.6.8 will actually read your question. There are just too many variables...too many printers out there. Among the dozens of people who will read the post, almost all will be running other printers or other configurations.
You might see if there are any Epson user forums to finder other users of that printer.

HP 1300 printer fails to print certain PDF documents with OSX 10.7.5.

HP 1300 printer fails to print certain PDF documents with OSX 10.7.5.

I solved this through the phone call help ( which cost me $25 ...) - there was some name colusion in the printer name - the rep basicallt uninstalled everything, did hard resent to all devices - printer, router and Mac, then installed the printer again under new name , seems to solve the problem .

[Gnome 3] cant print from USB printer, Fail to add new printer

HI all!
I installed the following:
cups
libcups
gutenprint
Then add your CUPS server's IP address or hostname into /etc/cups/client.conf, after ServerName. That is all you need. Every application should quickly find the printer(s) shared by that CUPS server.
did not understand what am i suppose to write in the client.conf: 127.0.0.1 or my hostname (thegrid)
it says that later version on cups does not require to blocklist the usblp but i did anyways
but it didnt work
i restarted the computer too
any suggestion

Hi, you can install "system-config-printer" ( i think resolve your issue).
sudo pacman -S system-config-printer.
I have a Cannon PIXMA 280. My steps to install the drivers( may be help you ) :
$ sudo pacman -S cups ghostscript gsfonts
$ sudo pacman -S kdeutils-print-manager gutenprint */KDE.
$ sudo pacman -S system-config-printer gutenprint */GNOME.
$ sudo systemctl start cups.service
$ sudo systemctl enable cups.service

Dell C1760NW wireless print fail

Trying to get a Dell C1760nw printer to work wirelessly with OS10.6.8 laptops. Printer works fine via USB cable. It also connects and prints wirelessly via WinOS laptops, but not the Macs. Drivers are updated on all laptops. The printer firmware is updated via the WinOS laptops (no option to update the firmware via the MacOS units. grrrr).
Macs are configured for both the USB printer version and the network with IP address version, with both icons showing in the Mac printer list. MacOS seems to be connecting to the printer, because during a wireless print job attempt, the printer list icon shows a yellow "busy" light, and the text shows "Connecting to Printer with the spinning dial - it never makes the connection. The printer widget in the Doc shows a red error dot. If the print job is deleted, the printer icon status changes to green "idle" light.
Currently using the default Dell IP address for the wireless operation.
Router is Netgear N300 with WPA encryption.
Macs & Win units all successfully access the router for www and email.
The push button connection btw printer and router did not work, even for the WinOS laptops.
Printer setting report shows port9100. Is that an open port on the Mac? Where do I configure ports in OS10.6.8
Mac Firewall is on. Print sharing (and all other sharing) is disabled.
Mac can ethernet cable into the router to connect to printer via the Dell interface. Settings can be adjusted, but printing fails via ethernet - same as wireless.
Any ideas or experience?
Thanks
-B

Bit of an update:
The router successfully pings the printer as follows. Ethernet cable or wireless access via Safari from Mac laptop to the router IP address brings up the router interface. Use the router interface to ping IP address of the printer - it's a wireless ping, because the printer is not cabled to the router.
Router interface lists the printer's IP in the Attached Devices screen and identifies it as the Dell Printer.
Ping report shows 4 packets sent, 4 replys received. I think this, and the fact that the Win Laptops can print wirelessly is proof that the printer is definitely on the router's wireless network. Can anyone confirm?
Printer Report shows printer operating through port 9100 and all the other port status items are marked enable (LPD, WSD, SNMP/UPD, EWS)
Printer report also shows these Network items:
Bonjour (mDNS)=enabled
IP Filter=Off
SSid= correct network name
Network mode=Infrastructure
Wireless Status=Good
Link Chanel=6
Encryption=WPA-PSK-AES/WPA2-PSK-AES
Any thoughts? things to try?
Some 801.xxx mismatch between Mac & Router? (but the Mac connects to router for www and email)
Is a port not open on the Mac?
Is there a Link Channel setting on the Mac?

Report printing failed with "Servlet error: An exception occurred. "

Hi,
I use Apex 3.1 in Oracle Express edition develop few applications. In one of the application, when I enable report printing in stardard reports and try to print to PDF/Excel, the servlet error occur.
I had configured FOP in my server and I can download PDF in "interative report", but for stardard report, the report printing failed.
I can successfully print the reports in my others applications. Anyone know what could be the reason which cause an application failed to print the report.
Thanks
Vincent

Does your application name have special characters? I heard that the app name has to be just letters and numbers for this to work...actually testing right now.

Get credit memos to print on Dunning Level - All Print layout

Greetings,
I am wondering why credit memos do not show on the dunning level - all print layout. If I click on the edit icon it lists credit memos within here and it looks like they should print, yet when I run the wizard and I have a customer with a credit memo on their account it does not show on the statement printout. Any ideas?
The only clue is on the dunning recommendation report all outstanding invoices get flagged to dunning level 1 whereas the credit memo stays at level 0.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Aaron

The reason behind - might be an outstanding functions need to be developed later or a bug. Only if the link is there, you may print them out. This is a fixed PLD that you don't have any controls.
Thanks,

Deleting all print jobs on a computer with network accounts

In a school environment, we are using a network server with individual student accounts. Is there a way to delete all print jobs for all users on a given computer? I can reset print system and it only clears the print jobs for that single user.

System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
Click: Open Print Queue
You should be able to delete print jobs from there.

HP Laserjet 1100 - print fails

Hi
I have an OLD HP Laserjet 1100 which I used to be able to print from fine on my old XP (SP2) machine. I have recently set the printer up on a new laptop running XP (SP3) using a parallel to USB converter. It's using the same drivers. However, now, whenever I try print I get an immediate message saying "Print failed". Doesnt give me a reason. Just won't print!! If there is anyone out there who can help me I'd appreciate it!
Regards,
AEC
p.s. Buying a new printer is unfortunately not really an option.

Hi there. This is funny, or sad really. I have the exxact problem. When it doesn't print it says this printer is not connected.
That just can't be. What about firmware? While nosing around the HP site I noticed it says firmware needs to be updated.
I'm not sure how to do this.
Have a great day,
Zarifa

Printer just started feeding a blank page after some, but not all printed documents

Printer just started feeding a blank page after some, but not all printed documents

Hi @cam21 ,
I understand that you are having issues printing, after some documents you are getting blank pages. I would be happy to help you.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
What application are you printing from?
It may be a setting in the application.
Does this happen from all applications?
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. http://www.hp.com/go/tools>Using HP Diagnostic Tools for HP Printers in Windows.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

PDF Printer fails to create document

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 Standard and today suddenly I cannot create a PDF file from Word 2007. It will create PDF files of up to 5-6 pages but when I try the file that contains 657 pages it will only go to page 90 before I get this error message: Adobe PDF printer failed to create the PDF file.
I have tried this a couple of times (shut down computer in between each try) and every time I get the same error at the same page. The last attempt was 2 1/2 hours ago and I still have the little Acrobat icon turning circles in my toolbar. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem?
I am working on a Dell Inspiron E1505 running Windows XP SP2. I bought Acrobat back in May and this is the first time I've had a problem with it.

Hi DJ, what is on page 90 (or 91) that is keeping the PDF printer from completing? Any half tones in any graphics? Any intense tables? Graphs?
Have you tried just making a PDF from that one page? Drill down to the page that is causing the problem, try removing one element at a time, printing to PDF, until you discover what one element is creating this issue.
We had some snow flakes with gradient half tones in one of our documents that was causing an issue much like you are experiencing.

Print menu different since upgrading to Lion 10.7.4. Pop up menu no longer has Preview and lost paper size selection. Photos all printing credit card size. Still using iPhoto 6.0.6. Have upgraded printer drivers.

Print menu is different since upgrading to Lion 10.7.4. Pop up menu no longer has Preview and lost paper size selection. Photos are all printing credt card size and I can't get it changed. (Have tried changing in Page Setup.) Have upgraded my printer drivers, but still no luck. Still using iPhoto 6.0.6.

A slow boot time can be caused by login items.

Why do I get "error" on all print attempts after installed a new HP print driver?

I installed a new HP print driver today and now I get an "error" message on ALL print jobs - even to printers I have used without problems for months. Any idea what got changed on my Mac?
