Attempts to print wont print and shut down my application..help!

I have a Lexmark printer, it has been successfully installed, the comp recognizes it and I am able to print a test page from the printer tool box. However, every time I try to print something for real from an application (word, safari, iphoto,etc) the application will shut down and I get this error message:
The application___ quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the IJPrintQuality plug-in.
And then it gives the options to report and relaunch the application. I repeatedly report and relaunch with this scenario happening over and over again. I've never been able to print anything other than a test page on my printer (so i know the comp can read that the printer is there!)...anyone have any ideas to help out???

Hello Amanda:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
If you installed the software that came from your printer from Lexmark - uninstall it. Most printers are plug and play - using the built in drivers in OS X. Then uninstall the printer and try to reinstall it.

  • After cleaning my mac it opens and shuts down again please help!!!

    after cleaning my mac it opens and shuts down again please help!!!

    I opened the cover (there where the battery is) and I cleaned the dust gently with a dry napkin ...remove the battery and placed it again ...closed the cover and when i turn on my macbook bro now it shows the Apple logo and after some seconds it just shuts down (i have OSX 10.9 Mavericks)....
    I tried to boot in safe mode, also tried to repair it and even re-install Mavericks and so on, but I could not fix it. I did a hardware test and the no problems occurred.

  • I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down. Please Help me!

    Hello!
    I have a MacBook Air. I have got a software update notification couple of days ago. I've clicked on it today, and it started installing updates.
    But, I have got a notification telling that not all updates were installed successfully, then I have clicked on "Restart" from the notification box. Then my Mac restarted and the white screen with Apple logo and the update progress appeared (like what always happens during updates).
    The problem that while the update progress reached around half the way, my Mac shutdown. I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down.
    Please Help me!
    MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2009)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You did not state whether you installed the update while on battery (not mains) power. You are warned not to apply certain updates without being connected to a charger & mains power.
    Also remove any attached peripherals.
    Reboot in Repair mode (command-R at start)  and use Disk Tools-Disk Utility-Disk First AId to repair your disk, and as long as you're there repair permissions. Next quit Disk Tools and reinstall the OS. After completing that successfully reboot, log in and do a combo update.
    You must have more than enough (not just enough) empty (free) disk space for the update.

  • My hp pavilion dv1000 (1615ts) has an overheatin​g problem and shuts down suddenly. please help..

    my hp pavilion dv1000 (1615ts) has an overheating problem and shuts down suddenly.  please help..

    with that age of laptop we immediately suspect an issue with dust clogging the exhaust fan or the thermal compound between the heatsink and fan breaking down and needing to be replaced. The laptop needs to be opened and inspected in other words. 

  • I'm running Windows 7 and occasionally, Firefox will become completely unresponsive and grey out, then none of my programs will open at all, including the Start menu, forcing me to use a hard restart and shut down. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not able to close and restart Firefox at all, since the computer becomes completely unresponsive, save for mouse input. Task Manager is also of no use.

    Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.
    DW will not tell you about Bad Sectors, it's just the very best at Repair Directory damage & such.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Final Cut Express Opens and Shuts Down?!  HELP!!!

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased Final Cut Express 2.0 and installed it onto my computer. After running into numerous glitches, I upgraded to FCE 3.5.
    I installed FCE 3.5 and LiveType and Soundbooth both are working great. However, when I open FCE, it begins to open and starts to load. You assume it is going to load in, but then the screen disappears and you are back to the desktop.
    I have deleted the preference files from the library, figuring that would be the solution. However, it seems as if that still has not solved my problem. I also tried Reparing Disc Utilities AND I tried re-installing just Final Cut Express after deleting the files that I thought might have been corrupt.
    Can anybody lend some advice as to what else I might try? If you have steps on how to do these things, that'd be great, too.
    The apple support people that I called said I should come on here, so please do not advise me to call Apple.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    Try trashing the preferences again making sure you delete ALL of them as described in this article by Tom:-
    http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
    If FCE still does not work, try reinstalling again but make sure you first of all UNINSTALL COMPLETELY like this :-
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
    You can ignore the LiveType and Soundtrack items.

    Hi Jeff,
    Are you having this issue with selected pdf files or with any file that you try to print?
    Are you able to print document using any other program?
    What exactly happens when you click to 'Print'.
    and please let me know what did you meant by "have to bring up cntrol panel and shut down operations."
    Regards,

  • 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.

    The thing is, this MUST be an Audition CC issue for two reasons. One, everything worked fine in CS6, which I was using right before I upgraded to CC. I even did a clean install of it by removing CS6 completely.
    All versions of Audition can co-exist on the same machine quite happily - there is no interaction between them at all, and the system was designed to be like this. So there's nothing to stop you keeping CS5.5, CS6, CC and even Audition3 on the same machine.
    The other thing I'm wondering about is Windows 8. There have been a considerable number of complaints about this doing weird things, including with Audition. I have a system that in many ways is very similar to yours, except that I don't overclock the mobo, and use a professional sound device (or two) with it (RME). The major difference though is that I use Windows 7 pro 64-bit, and I haven't had any of these problems at all. Yes I use it for a living, as well, but I don't bother with multiple DAWs - don't have time for all that these days. But I do use iZotope's RX software in its standalone mode without any difficulty.
    I'm not claiming that  Audition CC is trouble-free - any number of Mac users will confirm that - but people running it on W7 certainly seem to have far fewer problems with it. It may also be worth trying an uninstall-reinstall of CC - you never know. But differences in preview quality certainly point towards audio drivers, I'm afraid...

  • Laserjet 1020 does not print / print spooler shuts down.

    Print spooler shuts down after installing lj1020_1022-HB-pnp-win64-en and restoreing to previous windows 7 restore point.
    I have deleted the printer several times.
    Running x64 windows 7.  This is a new problem after several months of running consistenly.

    I have the same problem but only with printing documents from secure sites (online brokerage)  like statements and Tax Documents.  The problem exists whether I print directly from the website, or download the document and try to print the file.  I suspect the issue is with the driver for the 1020 because I can print the same files on my HP PhotoSmart Plus with no problems.  I too am running Windows 7 64 bit edition.  The bad print job stops the Spooler.  You can Restart the Spooler (it appears), but the minute you try to print anything, the Spooler shuts down again.  Rebooting does not fix the problem.  The only solution is a System Restore.
    After the 1020 shuts down the spooler, even my PhotoSmart cannot print, but it at least produces error msgs to the
    effect that "No pages have been selected for printing".  Trying to print from the 1020 - absolutely nothing happens - no printer dialog, no error message - just nothing.

    2nd, you already mentioned Virtual XP, so if a direct install doesn't work, that would be the way to go... or, to just do what SHOULD work from the start, just do Virtual XP

    USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?

    OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.
