Cannot print from mac to dell photo AIO 944

I have connected two windows laptops to my printer that is connected to a desktop computer wirelessly, so that i can print from the two laptops from anywhere wirelessly and it will print the job. However, with my one mac laptop, I would like to do the same, but it doesnt look like there is a dell driver for mac. However, i thought maybe a reversed bonjour could help or something like that. I know lexmark used to/or still does make the dell printers and lexmarks are largely compatible with macs. I just believe this is got to be somehow possible.
Also, I was able to open an EXE file that was supposed to the driver for windows using filejuicer, but i dont know which file to choose as the driver when in printer sharing on the mac (i choose other because dell isnt listed) - furthermore i dont even know if that would work.
on another side note, if the dell printer just worked with one of the lexmark drivers already listed, it would be great.

i haven't changed anything (that i am aware of!) except that i've upgraded my Mac OS to Leopard.
when i print to the printer as a networked printer (which is attached via USB to the DELL PC) a window appears on the PC to show the progress of the spooling and reaches 100% and then i hear a noise on the printer as if it's going to start to print but it just doesn't print.
when i try to print to this printer directly connected to my Mac, it gets detected correctly in Printer and Fax (as a DELL Photo AIO 944) on the Macbook but it doesn't pick a proper driver and I cannot find the dell driver in the list, nor do i know which Lexmark driver to use instead.
Can you help?
Cheers.

UNABLE to print to DELL Photo AIO 944 when upgraded to Leopard

Hi
I was able to print using a Generic Postscript driver to install the Dell 944 printer when i was still on OSX 10.4...
since i've upgraded to Leopard i've lost my ability to print. i've even trying resetting my print system and re-installing the printer. the Postscript generic driver doesn't seem to work anymore?
anybody knows which driver i should install for this model printer (i know that some lexmarks could be compatible drivers but which one????)
HELP!!!

Cannot print from Mac Office after Mavericks upgrade

Hello,
I'm finding it difficult to send a print job to a network printer from any of the Mac Office products. I have no problem printing PDFs. Interestingly enough, when I select Command+P and then click on the PDF button at the bottom left of the print screen, it prints to the networked Sharp MFP printer but not to the networked Dell printer (yes, we have many flavors of printers on our campus). The inability to print directly from Word or Excel surfaced after the upgrade to Mavericks.
I can print PDFs to the Sharp MFP but not to any other networked printer. I've been to the Sharp MFP website and I believe I have the latest print driver that they have available. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
M

Here is a script to fix the plugins to get back some functionality to MAC OS X 10.9 printing.
Place the plugin.py file on the desktop, open a terminal session, to do that click on the Applications Folder, then the Utilities Folder, then Terminal.
Type CD Desktop <ENTER>, sudo python plugin.py <ENTER> and enter the admin password when prompted. Once it is finished, close the terminal window and restart the MAC.
Tandem Printing and Document Filing will not work, actually Main Folder and Quick Folder will work but we can’t read the list of User folders as network access is restricted.

Cannot print from iPhone 3GS anymore photos or text

I used to be able to print from iPhone. Now it cannot find printer. Help

Restart of MacBook Pro and can now see photos on iPhone thru ImageCapture, etc.

Cannot print from mac OSX 10.5.8 to my HP B210 - I already reset the printer - HP utility won't open

When I try to open the HP Utility - it just sits there and does nothing - I have to force quit.
And my printer is not printing from my mac. My wife can print from her PC laptop. We use Netgear.

Let's reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If that does not work, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page and re-install.

Cannot print from IMac or Dell Latitude Laptop on Canon MX330 printer via Airport Extreme.

Trying to connect a Canon MX330 printer to an IMac and Dell Latitude laptop via Airport extreme and having no luck.
All devices recognize the printer, but when I try to print from the IMac it says that the printer is offline, even though it is not. The printer status on the IMac says offline until I clear the printer queue and then the status goes online.
When I try to print from the Dell laptop the printer reacts, but nothing prints.
I have run through all of the troubleshooting in the support section online. Any advice?

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

I cannot print from Adobe on My Mac

I have tried all I know to do, but I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from my Mac running Mac OSX - 10.5.7. I have two different printers - a Cannon MF4150 & an HP Color Laserjet 2550. When I click print, the preview is not available and it just goes into queue and never prints. I am also running VMware Fusion -- I cannot get it to print from the Windows XP virutal machine either. I am using just the standard Adobe Reader 9 in the Windows side. I don't know what could possibly be wrong. The Windows XP side is printing through a sharing mode with the mac side. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

I've tried that multiple times as well as resetting the printers themselves. I've deleted and re-added the drivers as well. Any other suggestions?

Cannot print from Windows Live photo gallery

I cannot print from Windows Live Photo Gallery. The printer is connected and has a signal.

This printer is an HP Photosmart Touchscreen. I have since resolved the problem by uninstalling, and reinstalling the printer. Not sure what the problem was, but it is now working. Thank you for your help.

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64
Attempting unsuccessfully to print to Epson 3880
What Adobe support will be of help.

Cannot print from iPhoto. themes missing

cannot print from iPhoto. says themes missing. Libraray/Applicaion support and iPhoto folder missing.
tried to restore from time m/c but no joy. reinstalled iphoto from disc. no joy.

Did you delete the receipts first?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Cannot print from hp DeskJet F4580

I have just bought my first MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.4. Great computer.
However I cannot print from the wireless hp printer. I downloaded the latest driver from hp (maybe a fault) and started to install. Everything went as expected untill the setup process of the Printer Queue. Here I add the printer in order to create the Printer Queue, but when I click on the continue buttom I get this warning: Are you sure you want to continue without adding a Print Queue? I finished the installation with a congratulation sign.
Therefore there is no doubt, that the printer queue is missing. However I cannot found out to install the printer queue.
The printer is a socalled all-in-one printer. The scanner function is perfect with the wireless connection. But not the printer function.
I have also tried to connect via usb cabel. The result is the same. Scanner okay. Printer not okay.
The printer works perfect under Windows.
I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.
Erik

I'm having the same problem ! The wireless printing works using OS 10.5 on a G4 PowerBook but not OS 10.6 on an intel MacBook. I'm going to get in touch with HP as have used the latest drivers (as you have) - I've re-installed the HP software using Software Update for the latest version - still can't print. USB printing is also faulty so must be their drivers.
I'll let you know if I have any luck !

Cannot print from Firefox

For some time now I cannot print from Firefox. I thought it might be a glitch after an update, but have updated again since and it still does not work. If I try to print to a printer, nothing happens. If choose print and then save to PDF it seems to work, but then when I try to open the file I get an error message from Adobe saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.". On the other hand, I can print and save to PDF from Safari without any problem. I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 6.0.2.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
Please do a CLEAN install:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Using Bluetooth on a C8180 All-in-One to print from Mac OS-X

Dear folks,
I have a new iMac and would like to be able to print from it to my 8180 AiO using bluetooth. My Mac sees the printer (it's paired), and the Mac has the latest print driver installed, and I've verified the bluetooth setup on the 8180, but nothing I do has enabled the printer to go "online" with bluetooth so that I can print. Of course, I've verified the printer is fine with a cable connection. Does anyone have any idea if this should work, and if so, what else I may need to do to make it work?
Please feel free to copy your responses directly to my email: <text removed for privacy>
Thanks.

did you ever get a response elsewhere? having the same issue with a c5550. no crash though, and it even shows up in the printer queue, but always say disconnected. tried to edit serial port options. says it's connected for a moment. try to print. still disconnected. green light goes off.

I Cannot print from imac iPhoto 9.6 using Yosemite 10.10.1to Epson printer? How do I fix this problem?

I Updated my iMac to Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot print from iPhoto 9.6 to my Epson picture mate PM240 photo printer. I had no problem printing before the upgrade. It seems like I don't have a connection between the iMac and Epson Printer. I checked all connections and they are correct. I visited the Epson site and there were no updates available for the PM240. The problem arises after I select a picture to print. When I select PRINT from the FILE the spinning color wheel begins and I cannot go further.
I Contacted Apple and the technical adviser ran the iPhoto troubleshooting programs within IPhoto. This seemed to solve the problem, but the problem almost immediately reocurred. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks for the replies guys. Epson put me through a complex set of instructions to install an earlier driver. The problem was not solved. Apple also tried to solve the provlem by getting rid of the printer, unplugging it etc and then re starting and checking computer/printer communication by printing a test page from the system preferences/Pring & Fax options. This worked proving the the computer and printer are talking to each other.
The printer works properly as a stand alone unit. That is, I can copy and print and scan and print with no problems.
The Apple support guy didn't suggest any Apple alternative drivers so I assume there aren't any.
Neither the Epson nor Apple assistants seemed interested in the printer generated error message. I would have thought it would at least provide a clue to the problem to someone with technical expertise.
It seems that there are a lot of problems with the 10.6.8 update so maybe Apple will get to work and bring it up to scratch. I hope it gets things right soon.
