Bonjour printing from PC after upgrade to snow leopard

I recently upgraded to snow leopard. I now am unable to print from my PC laptop using the Canon printer attached to my iMac. Before the upgrade, I could. Any suggestions?

The blank page can be output if you select the vendors driver, in your case the Canon driver. Delete the printer queue and add it again, this time selecting a Postscript driver, such as a HP Color LaserJet model that has PS in its name.

  • GCC Elite 21n+ Printer Stop working after Upgrade to Snow Leopard

    GCC Elite 21n+ B&W Laser Printer no longer works after upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
    A back-up HP 2015DN Printer works intermittently. It will not work with ethernet cable connected to Net Gear Ethernet Hub (model FS105). But will work most of the time when ethernet cable is connected directly to back of computer.
    Back to GCC printer. Just cannot get it to work.
    But I cannot figure out what the IP address is for the GCC printer. Tried 192.168.1.4:9300
    See post (discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10127869). Still did not work.
    GCC tech have this work around. Here is what I received from GCC via email.
    +At 01/02/2010 12:21 AM we wrote -+
    +Since Apple has made the decision to eliminate Appletalk from it's Operating System, you are now forced to set the printer up over TCP/IP. Please keep in mind that GCC has never provided drivers for the Mac. We use the Apple Built in Print Driver. We do provide an OS X PPD Installer located on our website that I recommend you download, unstuff, install, reboot your Mac, then add the printer. You can find the Installer at http://www.gccprinters.com/support/doc/ Click on the Model of your printer and download the OS X Installer. DO NOT download the Applications Folder.+
    +You will need to set the printer up over TCP/IP, which means you will need to pull the IP Address of the printer from the Printers Configuration Page. Once you've done that, please do the following:+
    +You can add the printer over IP, that should work fine. Here are some steps for you to take.+
    +1) Select 'System Preferences...' (4th item) from the 'Apple' menu. The 'System Preference' panel will appear as a new window.+
    +2) Click on 'Print & Fax' icon (second row 'Hardware', second icon from right side). The 'System Preferences' panel will change into the 'Print & Fax' panel without opening a new window.+
    +3) Click on the '+' button to add a printer (2/3 the way down on the left side on the 'Print & Fax' panel). The 'Add Printer' dialog will open in a new window.+
    +4) Select the 'IP' icon in the top row of the 'Add Printer' dialog.+
    +5) Next to 'Protocol' select LPD Line Printer Daemon.+
    +6) Next to 'Address' type in the IP address you assigned to the printer. The Mac should prompt "complete and valid address".+
    +7) (Optionally) Next to 'Name' set the name of the printer to something friendlier. Normally it defaults to the IP address enter in the previous step. The 'Name' is what the printer is called in the print dialog.+
    +8) (Optionally) Next to 'Print Using' change/verify the PPD.+
    +9) Click 'Add' in the bottom right corner. After a few moments the 'Add Printer' dialog will close.+
    +10) The printer added in the previous step will appear in the list on the left side of the 'Print & Fax' panel. Click on the close box in the left-top of the 'Print & Fax' panel.+
    +11) Done. You should be ready to print.+
    Still cannot get the GCC printer to work or discover its IP address. Printer's Configuration page says
    TCP/IP: Enabled IP address: Unknown subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    When I download the Drivers from GCC Web Site I only get a Text Document with loads of meaningless
    gibberish. There is nothing to unstuff and install.
    All worked well with OS 10.5.
    Thanks for shedding any light.

    Thanks,

    Hello John,
    At this stage you will not be able to get this to print until the printer has a valid IP address. According to your post, the IP address setting is enabled but the actual IP address is unknown. This is most likely a result of the GCC being set to DHCP but if there is no DHCP server or router capable of assigning the printer an IP address, then it will not get a valid address.
    So, the first thing I recommend is you check the documentation for manually setting an IP address into the printer. This address needs to be in the same subnet as your Mac. If you check System Preferences > Network on the Mac, you will see your IP address and subnet mask. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then you subnet will be the first three sets of numbers. For example, a device with an IP address of 192.168.1.12 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has a subnet of 19.2.168.1 and a network address of 12. Ideally, so that other devices can communicate with this device, they also need a subnet of 192.168.1 but a different network address, any number between 1 and 250 but one that is not already being used by another device, such as 12 in this example.
    Once you have the IP address set in the printer, then you add the printer as the GCC tech stated, using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that you will only need to enter the IP address, such as 192.168.1.4 as per your post example. Don't enter any other numbers, such as the 9300 port reference you have tried already the colon after the IP address followed by the 9300).
    For the Print Using, you can use Generic PostScript to begin with as a test. If you then wanted to use the GCC PPD, then the link is okay. When you select the 21+n the next page shows the 21+ installer for OS 9 and OS X. This is a stuffit packed file so you will need some form of Stuffit (Stuffit Expander is a free download) to unpack the file first. Once unpacked, there is most likely an installer that you run. This will copy the PPD files for the printer to the appropriate folder.
    Hope this helps. Please reply if you require more help.

  • Print booklet fails after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard I had to reinstall the driver for my HP 4000N printer. Now all of my booklets print with the right side truncated in the middle as if the paper were 8-1/2 x 8-1/2 instead of 11 inches wide. The InDesign preview shows it correctly. It printed fine yesterday in OS X 10.5, InDesign CS3. Does anyone have advice?

    I did a clean install of Snow Leopard on a new disk and InDesign has the same problem of clipping a landscape layout booklet.
    I bought a new HP Laserjet and it has the same problem.
    I downloaded a trial version of InDesign CS5 on the new system with the new printer and it has the same problem.
    InDesign just thinks the paper is only 8-1/2" wide in the Print Booklet procedure and it clips the printing at 8-1/2". It will print a normal landscape page fine. It shows the Preview of the booklet correctly. I can save the booklet as a PostScript file and Preview will print it fine. I've been printing the same booklet under 10.5 for several years without problem.
    InDesign just won't print the booklet correclty under Snow Leopard.

  • Pictures Missing from iPhoto after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    Timeline:
    To start at the end of the story, I installed Snow Leopard the other day and now I can't find my iPhoto Library. My Time Machine backup doesn't show it either and given my history and length of using macs, I should be ashamed of myself for not doing an additional back-up and verifying its contents.
    We have a large iPhoto collection that from time to time has been archived and a new library created. In February '09 I moved the current iPhoto libary to an external portable hard drive and triple backed the whole thing up.
    At some point this summer (2009), it appears that a camera was connected or iPhoto was opened without the external hard drive connected and iPhoto created a new library. Photos were imported to this library and the external was set aside. I believed (should have verified) that Time Machine was backing this new library up.
    I backed up to Time Machine and then installed Snow Leopard when I first received it. When I went to open iPhoto, it can't find anything but an older iPhoto Library (from 2007) that had been stored on the desktop. Time Machine backups from prior to the move to the external drive are intact, but it doesn't appear that Time Machine ever backed up the newly created Summer '09 iPhoto Library. It was on the laptop's hard drive without backup and Snow Leopard deleted it in some fashion. I have done every scan imaginable and all of the videos and photos do not show up in the current directory.
    So.
    1. I understand that I deserve to be shot for my management of this.
    2. Always verify your backups.
    3. What should I do now? I have stopped using the machine so I don't write over the pictures that are likely still on the drive, but not on the directory. I have contacted Apple. Although they are looking into the problem, I don't expect much help. Should I use recovery software? What do people recommend? What are the steps to run it?
    Thanks for reading this, if you take the time.

  • After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Canon MX870 doesn't print text...just images

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard (yes I know I'm slow to upgrade) my Canon MX870 isn't printing text. It is printing images but the quality if horrendous because it's not printing the black ink.
    Here's what I've done so far
    Installed the latest drivers for Snow Leopard from Canon
    Cleaned the heads of the printer
    Added new ink to all cartridges
    Run printing tests (nozzle print patterns)...all good
    Reset my printers in the Print Fax Preferences and added in the printer again
    Numerous restarts
    Now I'm at a loss for what else to do. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    BTW, printer is connected via USB not wireless.

    OK well I can see now that all of my files are present on the hard drive (mybook) only they are not showing up in aperture. It seems that there has been some sort of communication breakdown between the two.
    As I said several files are missing and or corrupt in my aperture library. I'm wondering if there is a way to rebuild the library without using the vault technique? Does this make sense to anyone?
    I was able to go into finder - mybook - aperture library - show contents and see that all my raw files at least are there. Now I just need to get aperture to recognize them.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Unable to print after upgrading to Snow Leopard (Dell 1320C) - Network

    This recently started after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    The OSX drivers worked well with Leopard 10.5.xx but after upgrading to Snow Leopard, i keep getting "network host busy" or "could not connect to printer".
    I've tried completly removing printer, reinstalling (IP based), drivers etc etc I even resetted the printing system (right clicking and reseting in the printers list).
    This works fine with Leopard but it fails on Snow Leopard..

    I had the same problem not being able to print to Dell 1320c after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Here is a work around for the Dell 1320c printer to work on Mac with Leopard 10.6.2
    Do not use the printer driver from Dell. Delete the Printer Setup from your Mac.
    Locate Mac Driver Suitable for 10.5 (Version 1.7) at http://www.fujixeroxprinters.com.au/en/support/Downloads.aspx?product=5452&categ ory=5726
    Double click the icon to install after it downloads. It should create file DPC525AAPv17x5.dmg. When the install is finished you can delete the installer.
    From the Apple menu open System Preferences and select Print & Fax.
    Click the + to add a printer.
    Select IP Printer.
    Select for the Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD
    Type the IP address: 192.168.1.xxx or whatever your printer is assigned on your network. (If you don't know, go to your printer and hold down the Green button until the configuration sheet prints. You can see the IP address once printed.)
    Name the printer "Dell Color Laser 1320c" or whatever you'd like to call it.
    For Print Using select: FX
    Next select FX DocumPrint C525 A-AP v1.7 in the box below.
    On the next screen you must select 250 Sheet Feeder as an option. Otherwise it will only be able to manual feed.
    Click Ok.
    Go to Print something, File... Print... but don't click the Print button yet.
    Under Pages: go to the Drop Down and select Fuji Xerox Features.
    Find the Paper Source Drop Down and select Tray 1 (250 sheets),
    then go up to Presets: Drop Down above and select Save As...
    and under Preset Name, type Standard-1, leave This Printer Only and click OK.
    Now you can click the Print button. This will set the Dell 1320c printer to print from the document tray and not try to manually feed all the time.
    Anyway, that's the work around to use the Dell 1320c Color Laser printer under Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.x.
    Hope this helps!
    Good Luck
    P.S. I guess eventually Dell might come out with an updated driver, but don't hold your breath...

  • After upgrading to snow leopard my HP C5180 printer will not allow me to scan to the computer, it only works as a copier?

    Hello,
    My hardrive crashed, replaced and reinstalled. However after upgrading to Snow Leopard v.10.6.8, my HP C5180 printer will not give me an option to scan an image to the computer. It only functions as a copier. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    If your driver is up to date (you didn't say) then you can try Image Capture in your Applications folder or take a look at VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/

  • Numbers do not accept negative values after upgrading to Snow Leopard

    I have iWork 9 installed in Leopard, and after upgrading to Snow Leopard, Numbers don't accept negative values, e.g. -141. They are defined as text and are aligned left in the cell, even if the cell is defined for numbers. Positive values are defined as numbers and aligned right.
    All my statistics are wrong now. I don't where to find a sollution. Need to fix this asap.

    I may guarantee that the cell contains a standard minus symbol.
    I entered in the Index.xml to see if something was odd.
    All is perfect.
    I can't imagine that the OP replaced deliberately a wrong char by a correct one before sending the file to my mailbox.
    And I repeat,
    (1) in the file which I received, the cell was really treated as a text one.
    (2) on my machine, on the OP's alternate machine, on the OP's alternate user account, resetting the cell's status to numbers apply well.
    So, if a third party component is the culprit, it would be easy to identify: it must be in one of the user account able to receive third party items which means
    <userAccount>:Applications
    <userAccount>:Library:Address Book Plug-Ins
    <userAccount>:Library:Fonts
    <userAccount>:Library:Contextual Menu Items
    <userAccount>:Library:LaunchAgents
    <userAccount>:Library:PreferencesPanes
    <userAccount>:Library:Scripting Additions
    <userAccount>:Library:Services
    <userAccount>:Library:Widgets
    But from my point of view it would be more efficient to try to search a culprit in the
    <userAccount>:Library:Caches folder.
    An efficient tip would be to compress every subfolder of this folder as a .zip file and trash the original file.
    Reboot so that the account restarts without the caches.
    If th account continue to fail, my idea was bad.
    If it behaves well, the culprit was one of the caches.
    unpack them one by one so you will get the wrongdoer.

    The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    SL may have taken the initiative and quarantined what it determined were borked fonts and put them aside to avoid calamity.
    Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    That said, rumor has it that the next update will correct some spurious font handling....best to wait if housecleaning doesn't help at this time.

  • Wireless network connectivity issues after upgrading to Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard (10.6.4) I find that my wireless network will not automatically connect to my router (Netgear DG834G) as it used to. First impressions are that the macbook is finding a number of wireless networks but wants to connect to the one that is alphabetically first in the list. It also seems that the signal that the airport is receiving is weak, even when the macbook is next to the router.
    Has anyone experienced this when they upgraded?
    Any and all help gratefully appreciated
    Nick

    but a couple that I used with no problem before I upgraded now give me a "server not found" error after I enter my login and password.
    Quit Safari. Open Keychain Access   /Applications/Utilities. Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the keychains for the sites you have problems logging into AND the Safari Forms Autofill keychain. Now from the menu bar click Keychain Access / Keychain First Aid. Select: Verify. If necessary, select: Repair. You will be prompted for your admin password. Click Start.
    Relaunch Safari. Navigate to a site. Login with your user name and password. That will create a new keychain for you.
    If you still have problems accessing sites, go to Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all cookies or just the one's for the problematic sites. Now try logging into a site again.
    Even though you upgraded to v10.6.7 make sure Safari is up to date. From the menu bar click Safari / About Safari. If it's a version prior to 5.0.5, click your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update...
    And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Something there may be preventing you from accessing secure sites. If you have any extensions installed,  turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • App Launching Unresponsive After Upgrading to Snow Leopard

    For reasons I do not quite understand, launching any app, and doing many things within them (basically, instantiating any process) is extremely slow after upgrading to Snow Leopard. For instance, opening a new window in Terminal takes a full 22 seconds (I've timed it) to go from "login" to the zsh prompt. Before, it was instantaneous. There is nearly nothing installed on this computer other than the bare essentials and some documents.
    This is obviously very frustrating and detrimental to my productivity. Here is what I've tried:
    - Reinstalling from scratch (I've now tried this two times). First, I backed up my home directory with SuperDuper and manually copied everything over. Everything was fixed, for about two days, and then it started doing the same thing again. Then, I cloned the entire disk with SuperDuper and restored from it. Again, everything was fixed for a little while and then I had the same problem again.
    - Most recently, I tried "Verify disk" in Disk Utility. This returned that there were errors (an "invalid directory count"). Therefore I rebooted into the installation disc and ran "Repair Disk", which outputted that the disk was repaired successfully. However, I rebooted back and now have the same problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is going wrong? My first thought was that perhaps the hard drive is failing, but I've dual-booted Linux on another partition and it works fine.
    I am very confused. How can I fix this?

    Have you updated iTunes?

  • ICal Duplicate Events After Upgrading to Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I noticed almost all my Events were duplicated. The Duplicates were collected from all calendars and are in one of the Calendars (Paul Events). Strangely a new Calendar (Paul Events 2) was created, but deleting this Calendar did not help. Additionally a previously deleted Calendar from months ago was re installed.
    I have a MobileMe account that syncs automatically.
    Did this happen to anyone else. I am still developing a solution to get rid of the duplicate events, but don't have one yet.

    A lot of Duplicate Events, too.
    After the Snow Leopard upgrade, performed 10/19/09, and the immediate update to OSX 10.6.1, I wanted to sync my iPod Touch 2G.
    I was notified I had 67 iCal events to add, and 18 more modified events (85 total -- (a lot of birthdays). All were duplicates. I didn't sync. Is there any way to delete them?
    Also, over the past 18 months of MBP ownership, my alarms for each event have increased to about 8 (they sound once, but I have to clear each of them on my computer screen), And my Contact notes, have doubled+ (as if Copy + Paste were used), with many spaces, and some of the information lost.
    I was hoping for a Contacts & Calendar that would match the stability of my retired Windows Mobile Dell Axim X50v, before it took a virus, spread it to my Gateway desktop, completely destroying it (the desktop is NO MORE (couldn't be fixed) and I've retired the Axim).
    What is the solution?

  • Not able to install anything fully after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    I haven't been able to install anything after upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday. Anything program i do try to install just bouces on the dock

    Try installing the update again from here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
    This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

    Hi,

    Hi,
    After upgrade to snow leopard , mails which are coming from unix servers are coming as Mail Attachments.If we want to open them we need to right click and choose the application to open.
    Could you please suggest how to open directly.
    For Example : We generate a excel report(abc.xls) from unix box and send to users.Before upgrade the mail will show that report as excel with name as abc.xls and we can open by clicking it.But after upgrade it is coming as MailAttachment(name of he file is not abc.xls but MailAttachment)and we are not able to open by clicking.

  • After upgrade to Snow Leopard temperature rockets skyhigh

    Hi everybody,
    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, and further to the dot 1 release my iMac runs so hot that it starts to smell. the power supply temp goes to 95 Celsius. It used to stabelise on 75 Celsius before the upgrade.
    Fans don't seem to kick in anymore. I shut down after every two hours or so to avoid damage.
    Apart from that SL runs fine. I read the other posts abt temperature, but awaiting a real solution.
    Thanks,

    Go into Displays Preferences and, if you haven't already done so previously, put a checkmark in the box for "Show displays in menu bar". Then, click on the resulting icon that shows up in the menu bar to drop the menu and select "Number of Recent Items" and set it to 10. Now drop the menu a second time and see if there are two 1920 x 1080 resolutions. If so, one of them may be the older one previously in use that was working.
