Aperture 2.0 won't print from HP B9180 Special Media Tray

I have been unable to get Aperture 2.0 to print from the HP B9180 specialty media tray. I set Printer Settings to select the specialty (flat paper feed) tray but my request is ignored and an error dialog appears telling me to CLOSE the special media tray. The same settings work from Photoshop CS3.
Any help out there?

Check this out:
"I found out that there is an firmware update for the printer dated 1/15/08. The firmware update is for printers whose firmware ends in 21A, 24A, 25A or 26B. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-57843-1 &lc=en&cc=us&os=219&product=1142684&dlc=en
The firmware is updated to a version ending in 27A. (Oddly, the update can only be installed using a USB connection between the printer and computer).
When this didn't bring back access to Paper Type/Quality etc., I phoned HP. Here is the fix:
Trash CUPS folder in Hard Disk>Library>Printers>HP
Empty trash
Reinstall Driver: HPB9180_Installer10.3-10.4-10.5.dmg
Then reinstall Patch: HP v. 9.7 inkjet OSX 10.5 Update
Add B9180 in System Preferences>Print and Fax"
I found this in a previous thread. Do a Forum search for B9180. There's more out there.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g won't print from applications from IMac OS 10.7.5

    Just had a software update today, now it won't print from applications (Excel, Word, etc).  I've done all the troubleshooting in the exact orders and have also shut everything down, reinstalled, turned off router, etc.  Don't know what else to do.  Prints out printer status report, Wireless network test results shows that no problems found, congratulation on the successful setup of your wireless printer.  IP addresses on wireless and printer are similar.  Looked all over forum, but couldn't find a solution.  Printer is not even 2 months old.  Doesn't make sense.  Seemed to stop  printing after we used the scanner, not sure if that is an issue for any reason.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  • Won't print from rear tray

    I have a Pixma MG6220. No matter what I do it won't print from the rear tray from a source on the web. I go to both the quick setting and main tab and select "rear tray." Still prints from cassette. I took out the paper from the cassette. Won't print unti I load paper in the cassette. I even selected a different paper than plain paper and selected rear tray - but it still printed from the cassette.
    I selected "continuous autofeed" for a default, removed paper from the cassette - and it still wouldn't print from paper loaded in the rear tray.
    It will print from the rear tray if it's a document originating from my computer (or at least I just tried that and it worked). I did not change from plain paper, I only had to select rear tray.
    Yes, I realize "save the document to your computer" will be a suggestion, but the website won't let me. It's a "free printable" that is not downloadable.

    Hello.
    The issue may also be related to a setting in your web browser.  Check to see if your browser has a Page Setup option.  This menu may be controlling the paper feed setting.
    If the issue persists, please try using a different web browser to test the unit.

  • When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer.  now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810.  Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store.  Suggestions?

    I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000.  There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site.  It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
    I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

  • HP 4500 won't print from my Dell Inspirion Laptop

    My new HP 4500 wireless all in one printer won't print from my Dell Laptop running Vista Home Premium. It did for awhile but
    only if I left the printer on. The IP address kept changing for some reason. Now, it will not print from my Dell laptop at all. It will 
    print from desktop computer running XP but it is connected via a USB cable. This printer is definitely not "plug and play". Anyone 
    have any ideas how I can get it to work with my laptop?  I bought this wireless printer for that reason only.
    Best Regards,
    Mike

    It looks like the printer is not on your network properly.  The clue is that the printer's IP address is 169.254.x.y.
    You are running a ADSL connection, right?  Who is your ISP?
    Turn off the printer and your computers and finally turn off the Netgear router.  Unplug the telephone line (this is important) from the Netgear, wait 30 seconds and turn on the Netgear.  Wait another 60 seconds and turn on the printer.
    What is the IP address of the printer now?  If it starts with 169.254.x.y, then the printer is not properly on the network.  If you got a different IP address (one that starts with 192.168.x.z or starts with 10.x.y.z), turn on one of your Macs (but leave the telephone line disconnected).
    Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address.  Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11).  Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
    For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address plus an offset.  For example, if the printer's IP address is currently 192.168.0.5, then use 192.168.0.30.
    For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
    For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank.  This is important.
    Select Manual DNS Server:
    Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty.  This is important.
    Press Apply.
    Turn off the Netgear wireless-router and reconnect the telephone line.  Now turn off  the printer and all computers connected to your network.  Wait 60 seconds then turn on the wireless-router and then turn on the printer.  Then turn on the computers.
    Finish up by installing the SW on the Macs.  Since you're running Snow Leopard, simply go to the Print & Fax System Preference and press [+] to add the printer.

    My HP Photosmart 6520 won't print from my chromebook. It use to, but now it won't. Please help!

    Hello,
    Is your printer connected to a wireless network with Internet access?
    Do other web services work on the printer? Meaning, can you use ePrint or the Printables on the front panel? (printables = apps on the printer like Disney, Menu Planner, Quick Forms, and so on.)

  • New oj5745 won't print from dell laptop using Windows 10

    New HP OJ5745 won't print from laptop using Windows 10.  Set up is wireless.  Norton firewall shutoff during set up.  Uninstalled all HP products and reinstalled new printer program.  Printer acknowledges connection to wireless network.  Printer shows up as default device on laptop.  When print command is sent, the printer indicates whirling circle but no results.  Bought printer yesterday.  Should I return it?

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you cannot print with your HP Officejet 5745 on your Windows 10 PC, and I am happy to help!  To verify the printer's hardware is functioning, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying Documents or Photos with an HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 e-All-in-One, HP Officejet 5740 and 8040 e-All-in-One Printer Series. Have you completed the hardware setup before trying to print from the computer? As shown in this guide, Set Up an HP ENVY 7640, Officejet 5740, or Officejet 8040 e-All-in-One Printer. If you are able to make copies, and completed the hardware setup, then try the steps within this guide, 'Offline' Printer Status Message Displays (Windows 10), and let me know what happens! Hope to hear from you soon!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • How do you select special media tray from Adobe Photoshop CS3 on the Mac?

    I can select the special media tray (HP Photosmart Pro 9180) from Word for Mac and Illustrator CS3 for the Mac, but I don't know how to select it from Photoshop CS3 for the Mac.

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

  • Aperture won't print from photo tray on HP Photosmart 6520

    I've just started having a problem printing 4x6 photos with Aperture.  When I print a borderless 4x6 glossy using the photo tray on my Photosmart it works fine. When I say to print a 4x6 borderless using the photo tray with photo premium paper it prints from the main tray rather than the photo tray.  Plus now it's giving me a picture with borders, even though I specified borderless.  Anyone have this problem?

    Sorry, I do not know anything about your Printer. Have you looked, if there is an update for your printer driver, before you start reinstalling Aperture? If yes, upgrade your printer driver first. Also check, if you are having the same problem when printing from a different user account. Maybe some settings in your user accunt or startup items are interfering. You could also check, if printing from iPhoto or Photoshop has the same problem (but don't waste expensive photo paper on these tests ).
    What is the Aperture version you are using?
      Let me ask this: is there a problem deleting Aperture and reinstalling it?  Will I lose anything?  Thanks.
    Your images are stored in the Aperture library/libraries, and your settings in your user library. This should not be affected by reinstalling Aperture. But do not reinstall, without ensuring that your backup is current.
    How to reinstall will depend on the Aperture version you are using. This support article describes the procedure - ignore the title of the document - it is written to help with a nasty bug.
