Applet Plug-in can't print

I have an html page with an applet plug-in (using the OBJECT tag). The screen output is fine, but when I try to do a print preview (or print), a black box is displayed where the applet output should be.
The Java console outputs 2 lines of exceptions:
java.lang.InternalError: unimplemented
at sun.awt.windows.WEmbeddedFrame.print(Unknown Source)
java.lang.InternalError: unimplemented
at sun.awt.windows.WEmbeddedFrame.print(Unknown Source)
The weird thing is, this used to work. I had no trouble printing these same or similar html pages for months, and suddenly I get this problem and am unable to print anything. As far as I remember, I didn't do anything to my computer that would affect this.
I am now running Windows 2000 SP2, IE 6.0. I've installed J2SDK 1.4, but that still didn't fix the problem.
What am I missing in my setup? Are there files or directories I should add to my CLASSPATH?
Any suggestions? Please help, it's very important that I get the print ability back!

The problem was that it printed fine on Java 1.2.2 and 1.3.1 but not on 1.3.1_02 or later. I installed a 1.3.1 copy and everything works like magic.
I cannot understand how can a product be released if it takes away such an important function as print?!? Doesn't it get tested before?

How can I enable java applet plug-in and Web Start applications via terminal?

Since the last Java update to Snow Leopard, I have found that the system periodically disables the Java applet plug-in after a period of disuse. I know I can go to /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and just click to re-enable Java. But I want to write a script which will do this periodically for a couple hundred Mac users where I work.
My question is - how can I reenable the Java applet plug-in and web start applications via Terminal command? Is this possible? Is there a plist file that can be modified, etc.?
Bob Reed

It is my understanding that Apple's most recent Java update automatically disables Java after a certain period of time that it hasn't been used. We don't want users to have to keep re-enabling it. So we wanted to find a way to do this via script either run by a Casper JSS server or stored locally on each workstation.   With the guidance provided by Mark Jalbert above and some text from a script written by Rich Trouton, I was able to make a script (with some minor changes) and a launch agent to re-run the script upon login. So the preference is always enabled.
For your reference, the script content is:
#!/bin/sh
# DYNAMICALLY SET THE UUID FOR THE BYHOST FILE NAMING
if [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` == "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c51-62 | awk {'print tolower()'}`
elif [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` != "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-62`

I hope this is helpful to anyone wishing to keep the Java web plugin enabled.

Can't print & can't see USB flash drives plugged in from Windows partition

My uncle has installed Windows XP professional through Bootcamp on his new MacBook w/ Snow Leopard. He gets to it through Parallels. Everything works perfectly, except he can't print to the same printer that the Mac prints to, and also, when in Windows, the os won't recognize USB flash drives that are plugged into the MacBook either. He has the latest Windows printer drivers installed for the printer he is trying to print to and still won't work. He needs both of these up and running immediately. I convinced him to get a Mac. Apple fam...HELP!!!
Thanks.

Hi,
since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be ebtter to ask such questions in the Parallels support forum.

So I can update my Oracle Java Applet Plug-in to Development Kit 7, Update 65, can you link me to the correct Oracle download page from your Plugin Update page?

When I periodically accessed your Plugin Check and Updates web page in the past, I really appreciated you connecting me to the correct Plugin Updates vendor web page when I clicked on your red Update Now button. This time, however, your Java Applet Plug-in "Update Now" button linked me to the Oracle Java "7u65 Updates Release Notes" instead of the usual download page. It seems rather unexpected for me, or any other conscientious user for that matter, to search the appropriate "JDK 7U65" file download from the Oracle website.
Thank you,

This is getting way too complicated for normal peop.
First: the "Update Plugin" does not work, it goes to a page with all sort of computer jargon but no "Update button" anywhere.
Second: this forum jscher2000 gives a good solution, but I downloaded the incorrect java update, because my computer is 64 bit. how am I supposed to know my browser is what it refers to and that FF is 32 bit.....???$%^&*()??
Third: some of those "critical update" software are not even on my computer....well at least I don't think it is, I search for "shockwave" and did not find it.
I love Moz FF but the updating is starting to get out of control. why give us (computer idiot) an auto recommendation update not tailored to our computer? Perhaps in big letters at the top there should be an explanation "this is general suggestion these plugin needs updating, not to tailored with your computer, do your own research"
and/or add info I need to know like the 32 bit thing, took me forever to download the 64bit update for JAVA and it was the wrong one.
Now I am just afraid to update anything for FF because it is too darn confusing.

New Ink Cartridge but can not print out/copy any document.

I have HP Printer Deskjet 1050. I've just bought 1 x Original HP Ink Cartridge Colour Black No.61 that can be used as well for my HP Deskjet 1050 (because I could't get No.802 Black Cartridge). I have pulled out the empty one and pushed the new one in until I heard snap sound (I've followed as what is in the instruction poster). Before my old Ink was empty, I was able to print either black or colour. Now, after I've got new one pushed in, I couldn't print nothing, even the alignment page doesn't automatically print out after all cartridges are pushed in and cartridge door was closed. My Black Ink warning light is blinking all the time. I can scan to my computer/laptop but can not print it out or make copy from the printer. This printer is not compatible for my laptop with OS Windows 8.1 (64-bit), but I was able to use my printer for printing thru my laptop by using HP AiO Printer Remote. Please help?

Can't print PDFs after Snow Leopard

Can't print any PDFs, no matter where they're opened (Preview, Safari, whatever) in neither of our 2 networked (via LPD) HP Laserjet 3005 printers. Another guy here is having the same problem. You open the PDF, hit Print, it shows you the preview but then you click the actual print button and it goes dumb (options blank out and you can't cancel anything anymore - quit via command+Q). Please note that everything ELSE prints, just the PDFs don't.
Please advise... I work in an asset management firm and PDFs are a dime a dozen!!
Cheers,
Gustavo Ballve

Can you please check your driver version (print&fax preference, highlight the queue, then click "options & supply", then in the "Driver" tab). If it is not 5.4.0, the steps below should fix your problem:
1. Delete all of the files and directories related to your driver. If you have the uninstaller, that's great, otherwise, delete items below:
/Library/Printers/hp
/Library/Image Capture/Devices/HPScanner.app
/Library/Image Capture/Support/Hewlett-Packard
/Library/Frameworks/HP* (the "*" here means anything starts with "HP")
/System/Library/Extensions/hp* ("*" here means similar to above)
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP* (case insensitive, so starts with either "HP" or "hp")
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/HP* (case insensitive, so starts with either "HP" or "hp")
/Application/HP*
/Application/Utilities/HP*
2. Reset printing system (print & fax preference, <ctrl>-click in the printer queue list column, then select "reset printing system" from the popup menu)
3. Unplug your printer from the computer, reboot your computer, make sure you are connected to the internet, then plug the printer back.
4. You should soon get a dialog asking you to download and install driver for your printer, say "yes".

Can't print to a HP LaserJet 5000 we've used for years

We're a design studio with 4 Mac's and have had this HP LaserJet 5000 printer for a longtime and love it. A real work horse and low maintenance. Two of our cpu's are running Mavericks, 2 are running 10.7.5 and the older one is still running 10.5.8. This older 10.5.8 cpu has always worked flawlessly with this printer. IT'S ALWAYS CONNECTED to the printer. But after recent OSX upgrades my 10.7.5. CPU, my Mavericks iMac and recently purchased Mavericks MacPro cannot print to this printer UNLESS I have the older 10.5.8 cpu awake and running. If I shut this older cpu down or put it to sleep, all the other computers can't print to this printer. This older mac is going to be retired soon so I have to find a way that the remaining 4 CPU''s can connect to the Airport Extreme (which they do now) but can also see the printer and I can actually print from it. I've downloaded the latest HP driver software here at apple that was suppose to fix this but nothing. It seems like this older CPU is acting like a server and all requests have to go through it. How I stop this so that each independent CPU can print through the wireless Air Port Extreme.
As a test, I even took a 10' Cat 5 Ethernet cable and plugged it into one of CPU ports and then directly into the back of Printer, bypassing the whole wireless approach, went to Pref's and activated Ethernet 2. CPU still can't print to it. This printer on has Ethernet. Over the years we just set up our AirPort Extreme, plug a cat 5 cable from there to a 5 way ethernet splitter and from there 1 cat 5 goes to the printer. So as I have said everything works great IF I have the older CPU up and running but what I'm I going to do with I retire that unit.
Need some help here please. I been working with Mac's since 1988 and consider myself a power user but this one has really got me.
Suggestions…?

Did you read my reply here: Printing concerning an older HP LaserJet 5000.

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Can't print to Ricoh Laser AP2600 even after proper driver installed. Help?

Have a Ricoh Laser AP2600, and a new MacBook Pro with 10.6.3.
Connected the two with an Ethernet cable (the same Ethernet cable I've used successfully for years with this same printer -- it's the right cable). Turned printer on; "Ready to Print" it says.
At first just tried printing without making any downloads or installations, a simple TextEdit document, using the default "Generic Postscript Printer" as the selected printer "driver." Nothing happens -- the computer does not even seem to "recognize" that a printer is connected. Get the message "Connecting to printer..." and then "Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds....", and it never succeeds.
Then I searched on the computer for a Ricoh Laser AP2600 driver that may have come with the 10.6.3 install: no such luck.
Then I found the page at the Ricoh site that supposedly has the proper driver:
http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/drute/ra/model/p26a/p26aen.htm#MacOS%20X%2010.6
"MacOS X 10.6 PPD Installer Ver.1.3.0 24/04/2008"
Downloaded it, ran the installer, it was installed.
Went to the "Print and Fax" section of the System Preferences, then added the printer to the printer list by finding its IP address and manually entering it. Succeeded. Proper printer with an icon that looks exactly like my Ricoh Laser AP2600 added to the printer list. Selected it as my default printer. Closed Print SysPref dialog box.
Went back to random TextEdit document, tried printing again. My Ricoh Laser AP2600 appeared as the chosen printer, as hoped, and then I hit "Print," and the Printing Queue window opened. But once again, it was unable to connect to the printer.
Went back to the System Preferences printing pane, the Ricoh is listed on the left and has a green dot next to it, which supposedly indicates that it is OK and ready to print.
I went to Finder and the Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources to insure that the Ricoh Laser AP2600 PPD was there. It was definitely there, along with all alternate nearby variations ("AP2600 PS," "Aficio AP2600," etc.).
Tried printing again. No luck. Tried turning off printer and waiting for a few minutes, unplugged the cable, then turning it back on, replugging back in, printing again, no luck. Tried the same after re-choosing the generic printer driver, no luck. Tried the other kind of generic printer driver, no luck.
Help! This printer works GREAT when it works, and I don't want to have to buy a new one. It worked perfectly fine (and continues to work perfectly fine) when I connect to it with my old PowerBook running 10.4.11. Nothing's wrong with the printer, nor with my MacBook Pro -- all that is missing apparently is the right software or drivers or whatever to make it work.
Any suggestions?

Hooray!
Using your instructions, I finally got the computer to recognize and "ping" the existence of the printer. Once I got that far, it was easy enough to do what was my original goal, to set up a "printer" in the System Preference "Print & Fax" pane and successfully print a document, which I did.
One of the glitch-y final difficulties was that the printer has no way to make any IP address with fewer than 3 digits per field, so that I can't actually make it have the address "14.22.33.44," but rather it must necessarily be "014.022.033.044." While that may seem like a completely unimportant and dismissable detail to an expert such as yourself, to a networking newbie like me it throws one final dilemma in my way: Are the zeros "ignorable" or are they an essential part of the printer's IP? I tried setting the computer's IP with and without the zeros, and then pinging the printer with and without the zeros, and finally on the last configuration -- printer itself with zeros, computer without zeros, pinging of printer's IP without zeros -- the ping succeeded. A little counter-intuitive, but who am I to complain?
So, for the record, to help all the world's Ricoh printer owners out there, assuming this thread will forever be archived: here is a summary of...
*How to make a Ricoh Laser AP2600 work with a 2010-era Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.3*:
Go to Ricoh's "printer driver" Web page at one of these two URLs:
http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/drute/ra/model/p26a/p26aen.htm
or
http://www.ricoh-usa.com/downloads/downloads.asp?tsn=Ricoh-USA&path=http://suppo rt.ricoh.com/bb/html/drute/rc2/model/p26L/p26Len.htm
...and click on "MacOS X 10.6 PPD Installer Ver.1.3.0".
Once downloaded, run the installer's "package" which will place the necessary Ricoh printer drivers in Finder>Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources (you can check to make sure, if you want.)
Turn on the Ricoh, connect it to your Mac with an Ethernet cable. On the Ricoh's little display/button area, press "Menu" and then using the "Up" and "Down" arrows buttons and the "Enter" and "Escape" buttons, scroll through its menus like so: Menu/Host Interface/Network Setup/IP Address until you find the IP address, which likely will be listed as 011.022.033.044. You can leave it as that or change it to anything else you want. But then go to Menu/Host Interface/Network Setup/(etc.) and scroll through the other options: Change "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.000, but make sure to leave all the other settings at 000.000.000.000. Escape back to the "Ready" state.
Turn of the Ricoh, wait a bit, and turn it back on, and scroll back to the IP Address and Subnet Mask to make sure the settings were "remembered." If they weren't for some reason, try again.
Then, on your Mac, go to "System Preferences> Network", click on "Ethernet" on the left column, and in the drop-down menu "Configure IPv4" choose "Manually." Then in the "IP Address" field type in whatever IP address you entered for the printer *but make the final number one digit higher*. Also, *leave off any initial zeros*. Thus, if you left the printer's IP at 011.022.033.044, then make your computer's IP be 11.22.33.45; and so on for any combination of numbers. In the "Subnet Mask" field, enter 255.255.255.0. Leave all the other fields blank. Click "Apply."
Then go to "Applications>Utilities>Network Utility," open the program, make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in and the printer is on and the green "Ready" light is illuminated, and click on "Network Utility" "Ping" pane, and enter as the address to Ping your printer's IP address *lacking the initial zeros.* Thus, in our example, enter 11.22.33.44. Click the "Ping" button, and if the program shows pinging happening and a "0% packet loss," then you're connected. If not, go back to the beginning and try again, double-checking each step.
Once you have pinged successfully and are connected, go to System Preferences>Print & Fax, click on the "+" symbol under the list of printers to add a new printer. In the "Add Printer" window that pops up, leave it on "Line Printer Daemon - LPD" Protocol, and enter in to the "Address" line your printer's IP address, *leaving off any initial zeros*.
If the "Print Using" menu automatically detects and chooses "Ricoh Laser AP2600 PS" as the printer driver, then you're set to go; if not, and it remains on "Generic Postscript Printer Driver" or something similar, then in the drop-down menu choose "Select Printer Software" and scroll to near the bottom and choose the proper printer driver, presumably "Ricoh Laser AP2600 PS" (or whatever your exact model is). "Name" it whatever you want. Leave "Queue" and "Location" blank.
Click "Add" and your printer will appear in the list of printers in the "Print & Fax" panel. In the "Default Printer" drop-down menu, choose your new printer as the default. Close System Preferences.
That's it! You should be able to print now. Open a document, choose the "Print" command, check to make sure the Ricoh is the chosen printer in the print dialog box, and that everything is plugged in and turned on, then click "Print." Hopefully, the Ricoh will spit out your document in a second or two! If not, go back and go through the steps again. If it worked for me, it should work for you.

Can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader 7!

A few months ago I started having problems printing from Adobe Reader 7.
I can view PDFs fine. I can also view PDFs online through Safari with the Adobe Reader plug in.
What I've resorted to doing is using Preview to open PDFs that I've saved from Adobe Reader, and I can print fine through Preview.
But that isn't quite a good fix for me!
I can also print documents in other formats from plenty of other applications, so I know it's not a printer-talking-to-Mac issue.
What happens is this - I have a PDF open in Adobe and send it to print. The printer comes up in the dock like its working. After an appropriate amount of time (the time one would expect the document to print), it disappears from the dock as though it is done printing. But no document ever prints. And the printer never displays that it is receiving information to print.
Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time working on this problem to no avail.
I ran "detect and repair" in Adobe Reader but no problems were found.
I threw away Adobe Reader 7 (I think I was up to 7.0.7) and its preferences and other files and downloaded and installed Reader 6. I still couldn't print from Reader.
I installed patches and updates incrementally to from Reader 6 to 7.0.5 by allowing Reader to update itself, but that didn't help.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. That didn't fix the problem.
I tried printing the document through Reader as an "image," but it just crashed the Reader.
I also downloaded and ran "Printer Setup Repair" (something I saw suggested in someone else's post about an Adobe print problem) but that didn't help matters either.
I'm sort of stumped. I'll also post this to the Adobe forums, but from what I've seen the folks over there are not really Mac users.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers!

Ann,
A few more thoughts or your dilemma...You might try looking at your system.log with the utility Console to see if it might give you a clue to the problem. (Not that I understand all the stuff in those logs, but when MS Word and Quark did not produce printouts, the Console log named the problem fonts.)
The culprit may be the Adobe Reader PPD or Plugin. The path to those are HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD and HD/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin. So if you try deleting Adobe Reader stuff again, be sure to delete those docs too, before re-installing.
Note: I use Acorbat Pro 7 so I do not know if the filenames ADPDF7.PPD and AdobePDFPDE700.plugin are the same for Reader, but the paths might be helpful.
Before uninstalling and re-installing both Adobe PhotoShop and Reader, I would suggest that you check the integrity of you hard drive. Overtime, stuff gets out of place and some applications are more sensitive than others. If there is something wrong on the hard drive, replacing the applications will still produce the same problem. Repairing disk is different from repairing permissions. As in my previous post, boot up your computer with your OS 10.3.x Install Disk 1 and launch the Disk Utility app from the CD. Click on Repair Disk...
Hope this helps.

Can't print over network get message "Error Printing" in message Queue

Hi,
I have 3 machines, xp, vista and windows 7. I have 2 printers that are configured to print through the network
1. OfficeJet Pro L7680
2. PhotoSmart C7180
For all 3 computers I can go to the web configurations for the printers (so I know the network settings are correct). Windows finds the printer and properly installs the drivers using the TCP/IP network port.
I can only print to the PhotoSmart from the Vista computer. I can't print from the XP or Windows 7 machine, I can't printer to the OfficeJet Pro from any computer.
Both printers work on all computers via USB port.
when I try to print a test page the job stays in the print queue and gets a message "Error Printing".
The funny part is that the computer can communicate with the printers and get the ink levels no problem.
I have been banging my head on the wall and cannot figure it out.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ara

I think I figured it out after torchering my self for weeks.
I had my computers and printers hooked up directly or wireless through a linksys WRT610N router. I decided to add a linksys switch right after the router and plugged the computer and printers in through the switch and now it works.
This is very strange, there must be somekind of incompatibility with the WRT610N router that is causing the problem, it works but refused to print for some reason. I tried changing settings in the router but haven't got it to work.
Any clues on what it could have been with the router?
Thanks,
Ara

I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email. I get the error message that adobe could not

I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email. I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download. I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.

This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

Ps: which jdev version do you use?

Can't print from a network computer to my HP Deskjet D2680 on a Windows 7 computer

I have an HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer connected to my HP desktop computer via a USB cable. The computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). I downloaded the current software and drivers from Hp (364 MB). I can print to this printer from any other computer on my home network.   So far, so good.
Now the problem. I also have an HP Deskjet D2680 printer connected to the same HP desktop computer above via a USB cable. I downloaded the current software and drivers from Hp (101 MB i think).   I can print to the D2680 from the HP computer, but I cannot print to the computer from any computer on the network. The print request does not generate an error. Nothing happens. No print job shows up in the print queue on the HP desktop computer.
When I add the D2680 as a network printer on any of my other computers, the D2680 printer is seen. The Add Printer function knows that the printer it is a D2680 printer and sets up the correct printer driver. Everything appears fine, but I just can't print to it from any network computer.
I then tried to add the D2680 as a local port... no luck. I identify it as \\ computer-name \ share-name, where computer-name is the name of the HP computer, and share-name is the name assigned to the D2680 when I shared the printer. On the HP computer, user passwords are turned off and all sharing options are turned on. I also modified the D2680 security to allow full access from NETWORK.   When I ty to create the local port... Access Denied.
Does the D2680 support network printing? If not, why? If not, someone from HP should be demoted to the mail room for that decision. If so, it is not working. So what do I do? Take a sledge hammer to it, then go buy another printer?
So much for plug and play.   It's more like plug and cry.
Thanks in advance for your suppprt.
David

I found a thread about the HP Print & Scan Doctor software tool. I downloaded and ran it. It detected a conflict with the D2680 driver / software, so I uninstalled the driver / software. I then reran the software install, and now everything works fine.

HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

Hi,
I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
Here are some additional information:
- Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
- Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
- New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
- New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
1. Add a printer
2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
4. Selected my new printer driver
5. Finish
I also tried a few things like:
- Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
- Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
- Restarting my ThinkPad.
I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

Hi,
You might want to download and install bonjour for windows to your Thinkpad it is how I got my roomates XP laptop to print on AX.
