Cannot print at all

I have a Lexmark Z25 and Stylewriter II printers. Both worked perfectly with my G5 iMac on 10.4.11 at home UNTIL I synchronised a clone, which I had been trying to use on different printers in a different location.
Now I cannot print anything from either of these printers.
I think this may have something to do with trying to install, or having installed GIMP CUPS? or Gutemberg print drivers on the clone. Synchronising the clone with the G5 appears to have removed the option to print on both my home printers.
At this stage, the only option I have, I think, is to
1 remove all the GIMP/Gutemberg print driver
2 reinstall the two print drivers I need
Could someone please tell me where the GIMP/CUPS/Gutermberg print drivers are so that I can remove them all? Many thanks.
Nick

I have sorted this problem out. I deleted the Lexmark printer driver and reinstalled it. I also downloaded a Stylewriter driver for OS X and an ancillary program necessary for its functioning.

  • Installed Adobe Reader X Cannot print. All Fixes futile!

    Have OS Windows XP Installed Adobe Reader X and cannot print. Documents open properly and can be manipulated according to their limitations except I cannot print. Printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless. Have converted back to hard connection for this process. Connection not an issue. Everything else except the pdfs will print normally. Printing a pdf elicits no response from the printer. Does not show in queue. Hard attached another older HP printer. It does respond by pulling blank paper thru machine. Have full warranty on HP printer and have been thru detailed process with them. Does not appear to be a printer issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Tried all the same fixes. Still does not work. Connected to old printer. 
    Printer responded, but did not print.

  • Cannot print *at all* in LR to Epson 2400

    Hello,
    I have a new Macbook Pro, Leopard (fully updated), Lightroom 1.3.1, and an Epson R2400 with the latest Epson 6.X drivers (which I went through the steps to completely uninstall all Epson drivers and reinstall them), and I cannot get a print to go to the printer *at all* -- I mean zero, zip, not even a peep from the printer.
    When I send a print job to the printer, I see the job for a brief moment in the print queue dialog, where it says that it is sending data to the printer, and then it disappears, but it never prints. However, I can print to this Epson R2400 with no problems from Photoshop CS3, or other apps. Likewise, I can print from Lightroom to another HP Photosmart Printer. I can't figure this -- if it were a configuration problem or the printer was bad, I wouldn't be able to print from other apps to the Epson R2400. If it was Lightroom which couldn't print, then I wouldn't be able to print from it at all. I had no problems doing this before Leopard, and before LR 1.3. The lethal combination is Leopard, Epson R2400 and Lightroom 1.3.1 -- I have read these forums and it appears there's a lot of gripes about driver versions and print *quality*, but I'm not seeing any problems where people can't print at all.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    John,
    Thanks for the reply. In regards to deleting the entire Printers folder, I haven't done that, but I have deleted the Printers/Epson folder before installing the Epson drivers again. This was one of the steps Epson recommended in uninstalling existing drivers. I have done this, and it had no effect. I'm fine to delete the Epson folder -- however I'm not real crazy about deleting everything else: first, because I have another printer (HP), and second, because I don't really want to nuke my other drivers I may need in the future -- it doesn't seem to make sense that deleting other non-Epson printer drivers would have an effect here.
    As for the Print Module in LR, all paper/profiles installed by the Epson driver installed show as selected when accessing them through the "Other..." selection.

  • Cannot print with all-in-one

    I cannot print with my all-in-one because I have a print-job in th queue, and when I attempt to cancel it , it simply will not cancel, but remains in the queue.  I think this happened when I was printing from the internet and a nearby lightning stike disrupted the printing.

    Have you tried to shut down the computer and printer and then turning them on again??

  • I have a trial version of Elements 11 and cannot print at all from the organizer view.

    I have a new iMac and am trying out Elements 11.  I used to print contact sheets all the time, now with this new version I can't access it.  Please help!

    You need to have images open in the photo bin.
    Not for the mac version. Contact Sheet and Picture Package should both be available with no photos open, but you must be in expert mode, the PSE 11 version of full edit, to use them.

  • EPSON Stylus CX4800 - cannot print at all

    I followed these directions (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supAdvice.jsp?type=highlights&noteoid =94207) and installed the printer software but that didn't work. when I select printer preferences, it still says Epson Stylus CX8400 - Gutenprint v5.1.3.

  • Cannot print from Vista

    On both my Mac systems, I can print easily. My printer is connected to the Airport Extreme (UFO). But on both my Windows Vista (64-bits), I cannot print at all.
    My printer is Brother HL-2140 if anyone wants to know. I download the drivers from the manufacturer's website. Then I download bonjour also. I install and setup bonjour to get the printer working. It was able to detect and install it correctly (with the drivers). But when I launch firefox and try to print any page, it doesn't do it!
    The weird thing is this is how I did it with my Windows XP partition on my Mac, and it works. Just Vista really hates me or something is wrong.
    Any ideas?
    I also tried their "driver deployment wizard" thing to help me setup a printer over the network but it doesn't even detect it.

    I browsed around and I found this solved my problem.

  • Cannot print to my DJ2540 from any of my Samsung devices

    I cannot print at all and urgently need to be able to.  I have Samsung phones S2 & S4 plus a Samsung Galaxy Note and can't manage to print from any of them.  HP's site lies; it tells you that it's easy and you don't have to download anything as the software is already there.  My devices tell me I can only print to a Samsung printer (what's that all about?) and don't recognise the DJ2540.  I am highly frustrated, I have been trying for HOURS and am wasting my whole Sunday on this.  Please help.....

    Hi @SuzeG 
    I know this post was some time ago but I see no one replied. I take it you're getting a msg like this one...
    Any luck if you install the HP Print Service Plugin?

  • Cannot print through Airport after 7.3.1 update

    Before the 7.3.1 update, I had no problems printing from a PC to my Epson printer connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme n. After the update, I cannot print at all.
    The Epson is seen in the Airport Utility.
    I can install the printer using Bonjour or through the Windows setup method (previously described). The printer appears in the Windows Printers and Faxes and shows a ready status. When I try to print a test page, I get a communication error and no printing.
    I have un-installed and re-installed but nothing works. I have deleter all TCP/IP ports from the printer ports section to eliminate the possibility of duplicate ports possibly causing a problem. I have restarted the entire system and then re-installed the printer using Bonjour. Same result. Printer appears showing a ready status but I still get a communication error.
    Has anyone been able to overcome this problem? Does Apple make the previous firmware available for re-flashing?
    Thanks

    Well, the downgrade to 7.2.1 did not seem to work. There is a communication problem somewhere.
    My MacBook Pro will print normally (before and after the upgrade). Bonjour for Windows does see the Epson printer and it appears to install it normally. If the printer is disconnected, Bonjour does not see it. So Bonjour is seeing the printer.
    After the printer installs on the WinXP machine (connected directly through the ethernet port on the airport extreme n) is shows ready. However, if the printer is disconnected from the airport, winxp still shows ready.
    It seems that Bonjour properly sees the printer, but is not setting up the TCP/IP correctly. I have tried ports 9100, 9101 and 9202 for manual adjustments All to no avail.
    I have tried manually seeing it up using the Epson drivers and generic postscript drivers. Neither configuration works. Connecting the Epson printer directly to the winxp machine works fine. And again, it worked prior to the update.
    What the heck did Apple do? And has anyone with a similar problem fixed it? I really don't want to go back to a separate print server. But I need something reliable and Airport Extreme apparently is not it. At least this version of he firmware.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus paper tray will not go all the way in so cannot print

    Have loved this printer for almost two years but suddenly the drawer which holds the paper will not go all the way in so cannot print.  Took it to a so-called tech at Office Depot who said that because you cannot open/remove the tray, there is no way to see what is jamming it.  Any thoughts?  My first call for tech support was answered by a tech here in the US who said they had experience with it and it could be fixed and asked dme to call again when I was back in the office and at the printer.  The next four calls were answered overseas and they all had had no experience with this problem.
