Can't print with HP PSC 1315 on Snow Leopard

Hey guys,
About 2 weeks ago I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac, not using my HP-printer yet.
So now I decided to connect my printer again, and just test-print something, noticing it doesn't work.
I already knew that SL automaticaly downloads the latest drivers and things like that, so I just turned my printer on. And indeed, SL did download someting called Update HP-printerfiles. So I was pretty glad SL did that, but it didn't worked... I've already googled it, getting some helpful result directing to the HP-site, where I found the driver-package for my printer, I installed them, but it still doesn't work at all! I'm kinda out of ideas now, so if anyone has another good suggestion I'd like to hear it.
I'm running as mentioned Snow Leopard 10.6.2.

Alright, I've fixed this. I have absolutly no clue why both HP and Apple don't have any working drivers, (At least not for me) but after some Googling I found this:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpijs# MacOS_X_10.3.x_.28Panther.29_-_Mac_OS_X_10.6.x_.28SnowLeopard.29
After opened this link, scroll down to the part that says HPIJS for Mac, then just download and install Ghostscript, Foomatic-RIP and finally hpijs-3.9.2. After that it should work. It did for me!

  • Can't print to pdf since I installed Snow Leopard.

    I make newspaper ads all the time in Illustrator CS4 on a Mac.
    I always print them to pdf files. Never had any trouble doing this.
    However, since I installed Snow Leopard I can not print to pdfs.
    I go through the usual motions and then... just nothing happens.
    Are there known issues with AI CS4 and Snow Leopard?

    I was having the same problem. Basically, you now have to "save as" then "to PDF" to get the same results. Although this new method give you more choices in terms of output, i.e. saving layers, image resolution, it has also produced larger PDF files. I will then have to open the document in Acrobat and "reduce file size". I do wish they would bring back the print to PDF option. Go to the link below to read more. If you figure out how to produce the same results and get the small files sizes back please share.

  • Print with no color management CS4 + Snow Leopard broken

    I have seen comments in this forum about problems with printing with CS4, but wasn't sure that they were going to apply to me. They do, big time.
    I print to an Epson 9800, I convert the image to the Epson profile for that paper, and then print using no color management. With CS4 + Mac OS 10.6 the colors are completely off, and the results unusable, and I could not resolve it by printing from CS3 instead. I finally ended up installing 10.5 on a new partition, deactivating CS3 on the 10.6 partition and installing on the 10.5 partition (because Adobe's licensing treats the same program running on the same computer with different boot partitions as two different "installations"!), and then actually going back one generation in the drivers for the printer. Basically this resurrects my computer as it was in 2007, and I can now print flawlessly. I'm not sure whether the latest printer drivers introduce problems or not, and got tired printing test images.
    Of course, this means that I edit the photo in 10.6 + CS4, then reboot to 10.5, print in CS3, then reboot back into 10.6. And of course I can't use CS4 while printing from CS3. Very frustrating.
    My questions are: (1) is there an Adobe document that discusses this problem, (2) are Adobe aware of this problem, and (3) are there any other work-arounds that people know of other than reverting to CS3 + OS 10.5?

    Thanks Chris,
    I didn't try older Epson drivers + 10.6. I wasn't quite sure if I was getting the exact same colors with the newest Epson drivers + 10.5, so I reverted to the previous version drivers + 10.5 and am able to print perfectly with that.
    I must say that Adobe's licensing really gets in the way when there are problems like this. I only updated to 10.6 (yes, perhaps a little prematurely) after reading Adobe's reports on compatibility and searching these forums for any news of problems. But now that I have updated to 10.6, I really don't want to go back to 10.5 permanently. And, as I said, you can't run the same version of Photoshop on the same computer on two different boot systems, without using up the two licenses. This is very frustrating, and violates my understanding of the license that Adobe gives its users: the ability to run the software on either of 2 computers, as long as you don't run on both at the same time.
    I hope you figure this out, let us know as soon as you can.

  • Can't print in Landscape mode since installing Snow Leopard

    Since the installation of Snow Leopard 10.6.2 I can't print in landscape format from application such as Word, powerpoint, Turbo Cad, etc, on my network printer. This is despite changing my page set-up and printer settings My only work around at the moment is to print to a PDF document and print a hardcopy from there. Any thoughts...??

    Hi fruhulda,
    1000 thanks for your help. I've tried everything you suggested. Nothing really fixed the problem except creating a new account. In the new account, I could open and use Pages documents I had created before I switched to Snow Leopard. And all of the functions seemed to work properly, including copy and paste.
    In order to use my old, pre-Snow Leopard documents, I had to put them into a shared folder, so that I could access them from my new account. Does this mean I'm going to have to move ALL of my files from my old account into a shared folder, bring them into the new account, and make the new account my main account? If so, that seems like a lot of annoyance and a lot of work. Not that I'm blaming you--thanks for the fix. It just would have been nice not to have to start from scratch.
    Also one or two worrying things came up when I did my disk repair, namely, the following two messages:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFramework/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Resou rces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    I did some looking around in old forums and other people have gotten these messages before and seemed to be pretty worried about them. I don't really understand what they mean, and I guess I'm wondering if I should be worried about them too.
    Again thank you very much for your help so far.

  • How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

    I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:

    The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

    I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!!  I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!

  • How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)

    How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)
    To punch Binder Holes.
    Should be easy ... Make a Custom page with a wider left margin ... easy to set up, but it does not actually work for any printer I am connected to.
    Info so far:
    Found an older post from 2002 ... "Make a custom page"
    Mac Help has a limited, simple, incomplete answer: "Make a custom page"
    Tried three printers. One Postscript Level 3 One Level 2 and one non postscript
    Switching between page types in the drop down shows a change in the print preview, and the floating information shows the correct page size and larger left margin... but the "Custom Page Size" does not show a larger left margin, in the preview, no mater how it is set.
    There also appear to be a relation ship between the radio Buttons for scale and the margin settings.
    Test prints have simply cut off the left side of the document, and scaled the document from the right side in and the top down.
    Printing a PDF from Preview
    MacBook Pro
    OSX 10.5.6
    Thanks
    Peter

    Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
    Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
    Th only "work around" solution is to ...
    Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
    This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
    While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
    it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
    Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
    ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
    Thanks allfor the comments and help ...

  • Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

    Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

    I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
    As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
    Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
    I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

  • Can not Print with HP LaserJet 5000 and Epson AcuLaser C9100

    I am using MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with Mac OS X (10.6.6)
    I already install the latest print driver from the Apple Software Update website.
    The driver for HP is Ver. 17.5 & for Epson is Ver. 5.2
    I connect two of the printer to my Belkin Surf N300 wireless N Router with ethernet cable.
    The error when print to HP LaserJet 5000 is as follow:-
    Unable to get printer status (Not Implemented)!
    Network host 'x.x.x.x' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...
    This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
    The error when print to Epson AcuLaser C9100 is as follow:-
    Printer not responding

    Previously I can print with my emac with OS X 10.4.10, but now I can not print with 2 of my printer.
    My 2 printer are in good condition, so this is not the printer problem.
    Please, do anyone know how to fix this problem fast, because I need to use this two printer for my business.
    Thanks in advance.

    That is not what Greg needs to know. That is just the way that the IP addresses are assigned to the printers.
    Your problem is probably that the printers were probably originally found by AppleTalk. AppleTalk is not included in Snow Leopard. If the printers support Bonjour, they should be found that way. Otherwise, you have to use other methods.
    How did you add your printers on the new computer? If you delete them from Print & Fax, how would you add them again?

  • I can't print with Photoshop cs6.

    I can't print with Photoshop (CS6). My printer (HP iP6700D) works correct with every program, except Photoshop. When I choose File>Print, there appears only an error-message. And the command-line turns into grey.

    In the meanwhile I detected the problem. I made a new user account in windows and now it works correctly. So it isn't a photoshop problem but probably a register error. I have to find out furtherThanks for your reaction.

  • I can't get my printer to work since I loaded snow leopard???

    If I delete snow leopard will I be able to use safari again and get my printer to work again???

    I am afraid if you can't print with any applications in Mac OS this is not a problem specific to Firefox and we can't be of much help.
    I'd suggest contacting [https://www.apple.com/support/country/ Apple Support] if this is the case.

  • Anyone can confirm that Lion runs as smooth as Snow Leopard with 2GB RAM?

    Hello,
    I want to install Lion on my 1st gen Air, with 2GB RAM. With Snow Leo, sometimes i have to quit Safari because of the RAM is running low.
    So i don't want to upgrade if Lion eats more RAM than Snow Leo.
    Can anyone confirm that is it worth to install Lion on a laptop with 2GB RAM?
    Thanks

    I have a late 2007 2.0GHz Macbook with 4GB of RAM. Snow Leopard ran beautifully on it ( I am a web developer and video editor ).
    I clean installed Lion last week and it is very sluggish. It'll often hang and 'spinning beach ball' when doing the simplest tasks such as trying to scroll through a web page, switch applications, open a print dialogue box, etc.
    The new UI, animations, and some of the new features of Lion are nice, but I'm considering switching back to Snow Leopard. As a power user on an "older" machine, Lion just doesn't cut it. Depending on what you use your laptop, you might have a fantastic experience with Lion. It certainly takes more video memory, so it's likely newer machines won't struggle with it at all. my concern is that the simple elements of the OS have problems running on my machine, meaning one of two things: 1) Lion is built to run well on newer machines with newer hardware or 2) Lion is built poorly. It seems more likely the former is true. in either case, if you have a "base" machine like Macbook or Mac Mini 2008 or older i'd say stick with SL. otherwise upgrade to your heart's content.

  • Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will download easily and run with mac 10.5.8 Snow Leopard?

    I posted a question which was: Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will work with Mac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  Then this window popped up saying mark this discussion with as a question and this window.  I have no idea how this works. It already is a question and if I need to emphasize that, how does this window that looks like a Word editing window, help me do that?Downloading, Installing, Setting Up

    You asked the question in the title area instead of the area where the body of your posting is intended to be.  No fault of yours - they need to make the form clearer.
    Check the system requirements for the various versions of Photoshop Elements and see which suits your system.  Adobe only sells the most recent versions of their software, so if you need an older version you will need to find a vendor for it.

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard?  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
    1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
    2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
    You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
    After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
    3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.
