Can no longer properly print to colour laser printer after latest update

Hi,
I've just updated my iLife '08/Leopard software using software update. It would appear that I can no longer print greeting cards etc. from iPhoto to my colour laser printer since this update. All photos are printed in a very pale yellow colour that is hardly visible.
I've tried a couple of things to diagnose the problem:
1. Saved the file as a PS and printed it from a different machine running Tiger. Same result as before: Pale yellow.
2. Viewed the PS file using Preview on the Tiger and Leopard machines. The colours were normal.
3. Saved just the image (i.e., no greeting card pattern) to desktop and printed it from my Leopard machine. The picture printed out perfectly on the colour laser printer.
4. Printed the greeting card to an inkjet. That seems to work, too.
5. Just in case there was a problem with the new greeting card, I tried to print an old card that perfectly printed before. It, too, came out in a pale yellow.
So there appears to be some problem printing from the latest version of iPhoto to my colour laser printer. I did update the printer driver, just in case, but still have the same problem. Any ideas what else I could try?
The printer is an HP Color Laserjet 2550L

I have just discovered that I can properly print pictures from iPhoto to the colour laser, as long as I don't put them in a greeting card. So that seems to be the trigger.

I can no longer "send for signature" in Acrobat XI after Echosign update.

I can no longer "send for signature" in Acrobat XI after Echosign update. Now when I click that option, up comes a box that asks me to enter the recipients email and their name. I did a test and it send it to the recipient without me being able to add signature boxes for the recipient in Echosign. It used to upload the document to Echosign and then I could position the recipients signature boxes before sending to them for their signatures...By the way, I use a Macbook Pro.

I want to clarify. When I make a document (in my case a real estate form) I click the "sign" tab in Acrobat XI then "get others to sign." A blue box pops up and says "uploading to Echosign." This is normal so far. At this point, before the recent Echosign update, my browser would automatically open up to the Echosign website and show my document that was just uploaded. Then I was able to position signature boxes for the recipients. Now what happens is a box comes up on my screen and just wants me to send the recipient an email. See photo...

HT1338 Hi I have a dell colour laser printer ref 3115 cn. I have tried to load driver etc so I can use it with my new Macbook Pro. Its won't let me do it. How do I do it?

Hi I have a Dell colour laser printer ref 3115 cn. I have tried laoding the driver buy my MacBook Pro wont allow it?
Any idea's?

The Dell specifications indicate that this is a multifunction device. The printing portion is supposed to be able to use either PostScript or PCL 6. You should be able to use a generic color PostScript PPD or use the generic pxlcolor driver from OpenPrinting.org. There is not much chance of getting scanning to work with OS X.
The Gutenprint drivers will not provide what you need. They only support balck and white printing for laser printers.

Is a colour laser printer the answer?

I have two excellent Canon inkjet printers but I print so infrequently that all the ink is used up in lengthy nozzle cleaning and sooner or later the print head clogs up. Is a colour laser printer the answer? Do the toner or the mechanism suffer from being left unused for long periods? How do printing costs compare? Is the quality adequate for high quality office use (barring pro photo printing)? If so what printer or printer makes can users recommend? thank you.

I assume that I can set up a laser printer to operate wirelessly. This is important as I often print directly from my iPad which requires wifi.
If the printer has built-in WiFi then it would just be a matter of adding it to your wireless router. If the printer only has Ethernet, then you will need to connect its Ethernet port to your wireless router via an Ethernet cable. This may not be ideal depending on the location of your router.
As for printing from the iPad, the printer does not need to have WiFi. In the scenario above, of having the printer connected to the wireless router via Ethernet, you would still be able to print from iOS devices. But to be able to print from all applications on the iPad, the printer should support AirPrint. There are many companies that don't have a AirPrint capable printer but do provide an iOS application for printing. These applications generally limit what other iOS applications you can print from. So the advice is to ensure the printer supports AirPrint.
Note also that you could connect the printer directly to the Mac. This would avoid the issue above with having to locate the printer near the wireless router. And if you install an application like Printopia on the Mac, it will make the printer available to the iPad (providing the Mac is turned on).

This would be fine for any laser printer, but this time frame should also be okay for the Canon inkjet. In order to prevent printing problems due to bubbles, dust, or ink clogging, print head cleaning is performed before the start of printing. For your reference, with a Canon MP990, the amount used is about 0.24ml for black and 0.26ml for colour. If you power off/on the printer or replace the ink tank (without replacing the print head), 0.44ml of black and 2.45ml of colour (total) is used. If you perform a deep clean or replace the print head, then 1.98ml of black and 2.45ml of colour (total) is used. These figures vary slightly from difference models, but it gives you an estimate of how much ink is used when cleaning is performed.

HT1338 I can no longer AirPrint to my Dell AIO Printer since I upgraded to Mavericks. Any suggestions?

Okay. That is a good result. It proves you have a working network connection between the Mac and the Dell.
So with the printer not showing using Bonjour, you could try adding the printer manually. With Printers & Scanners open, click the plus button to add and then select the IP icon. You can then enter the IP address of the Dell. Set the protocol to HP Jetdirect-Socket. Leave the queue name blank. Change the Name from the IP address to Dell Wireless. Leave the Location blank and in the Use menu, select the model of Dell you have. Then click Add to complete the queue creation and then see if you can print.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine. Have used this device several times over past 2 years on different wireless networks (at home) but usually at some point I lose wireless scan function but maintain wireless Printing. I used to be able to reload the software and resolve the issue but now in this "new network" cannot get wireless scanning to work. Setup software; original software (CD) and current download as well as "Print/Scan Dr" hangs-up at "network check" for hours. Compaq laptop, Dell Laptop, Cell phones and Roku work fine thru network. Scanner works fine with USB to Laptops.

Which model Epsons are they?
I'm assuming you're using Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and that the problem developed when you upgraded from a previous OS.
(Your profile says 10.6.7 BTW).
Maybe the scanning function is not compatible with Yosemite.
You could try a few things:
reset your wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, printer/scanners.
wait a minute.
power them all up again, in that order: modem, router, computer, printers. Let each power up completely before going on to the next.
try a factor reset on your printer/scanner (if there is such a function). You'll have to check your manual for how. If you do that you'll have to enter the wifi password in your printer/scanner, assuming you have security on your network.
uninstall any printer manufacturer "utilities" that are on your Mac, and try Image Capture again.
If it is a compatible software issue, you could try VueScan, but I've never needed to use it.

Which Colour Laser Printer/Scanner for Yosemite and Adobe Acrobat XI?

Since upgrading my mac to 10.10 my Epson DX4400 will not scan any more, even with the latest Epson driver update.
I need a better printer anyway, so I would like to replace it with a colour laser printer & scanner. But I want to make sure I get one that will work with OSX 10.10.2 and Adobe Acrobat XI
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

Airport and Colour Laser Printer Sharing-Any recommendations for a printer?

Hi,
I am looking for reasonably priced (about 400-600USD) colour laser printer that I could hooked up to my Airport Express' USB connection.
Would anyone has any recommadations for a type&model?
One option that I have been examing is Epson's Aculaser C1100. Any experiences with this one?
I could go with C1100N model with LAN connection, but I would love share the printer wirelessly (without the extra effort of rearranging my ip address environment..)
Thanks,
Tuure
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

You are righ, i own a eculaser 1100 connected via airport express too. It works without any problem, if useing power pcs. If I try to prit using an intel mac, the new intel driver will hang up and the printer driver told me an interface type error -1. Epson support told me to ask the manufacturer of my os... Haha, like i said before it works with the old driver for power pc (V 2.3 ?) but for intel mac you have to use V3.0. And only this will not work. Does anyone have an idea for me? PowerPC works fine, win dows xp using bonjour prints fine too. Connection the aculaser directly to the mac book pro will work too, but using airport will no print me anything using the intel mac

John,
You may be able to find a Color LaserJet CP1518ni for around that price if you look around. At least here in the states I've found it for $299 and less, although it retails at $399 which is a bit higher then you are looking for. It is the least expensive color laser printer we are currently selling (in the US at least) and it includes PostScript 3 emulation.
Just trying to help.

Colour laser printer for home use [sorry to post here]

Hi,
I am looking to buy a colour laser printer (UK) for use at home mainly for printing documents, pdf files, etc. and use a Mac Pro (hence the link to these forums). I need a network and duplex function. I have been looking at HP's 2605dn but would appreciate your recommendations.
I am sorry to post here

Hey don't be sorry. How are you going to learn? Just before moving from OS/2 to OSX I purchased an HP2500N Color LaserJet. It worked nicely under OS/2 but lacked a few features. I waited a month before connecting it up to my Mac Pro because I feared it would need special drivers and a lot of hand-holding. What a surprise - I plugged it in via USB and printed a web page lickity-split! And the thing churns out the most beautiful copies. It is louder then I like (and I keep it in a pull-out cabinet to mute it) and use it daily. I rarely print in black and white any more - everything is in color (even my billings!).

Recommend new colour laser printer? Small and wifi capable for latest apple products,

Which new colour laser printer? I need small as possible, but wifi capable for latest apple products (OS 10.7 and mobile iOS 5). Not used wifi printing before, so getting confused with specs. Not high usage, want better speed than inkjet

You mentioned some office-level multifunction copier, though, costing more: which one would that be?
The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2225 with the Booklet Finisher-M1. This finisher will fold and saddle-stitch your booklet on the fly for up to 5 sheets of A4 paper - making a 20 page booklet. And the printer driver for OS X will re-order the pages in your document so you don't have to get the page order correct before you send the print job.

If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down . In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo. Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want
