Cant Print from some Apps

I have a B210a and it is connected fine. I can print from PC, MAc, IPad/Phone, I can email it stuff and it prints but... when I try and print from some of the apps, the screen goes black for some time, then comes back to the home screen without anything printing.
its not all, I tried printing from the Dreamworks and that was okay, but I cant print Disney, the word/number puzzles, etc
When I check the eprintcenter, it says the jobs were cancelled?
Any ideas?

Hey lanadan!
I know that the disney app is currently down on their servers. As for the other apps I'm not sure but if some apps work and others don't it is a problem with the manufacturer of the app. You can try contacting the maker of the app for assistance but if other apps are working what I would recommend is seeing if ePrintCenter.com has another similar app that may print what you are wanting to print out.
Hope this helps!

Printing blank pages from some apps

My HP Officejet 6500 will print from some apps, such as MSWord, TextEdit and Safari, and not from others, such as Firefox and MSExcel. the printer did work fine for several weeks before the problem began.
I talked to HP and reinstalled the driver. HP insists that it is not their problem since some things print and that st must be an Apple software problem.
Anyone have any suggestions?
(I am currently running 10.5.8, though problem started in earlier version of 10.5)

Problem solved. Turns out that have to go to the "Page set-up" dialogue box and select the particular printer. Most printers are fine with "Any Printer," but this HP OfficeJet 6500 seems to be particular.

CUPS Error message when printing from some applications

Hi. I've got an issue when printing from some apps, but not others. Up to a few months ago everything was fine, then it started when Word would not print direct to my printer (Epson Stylus Pro 3880), not a big deal as I don't use it a lot and could print it through Safari if needed. Then more worryingly as a designer I found that PDFs stopped printing direct too, again I can print through Safari and Preview. Last night I installed a firmware update and now InDesign (CS4) is refusing to print!! Not great as printing via Safari/Preview doesn't give me the same level of control over my prints. Just checked both Illustrator and Photoshop and they both print okay. I get the same error code each time "error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed" Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks in anticipation. D

cytan,
As Matt pointed, an application printing to CUPS controls only the format of the input. It has no direct control over the chain of filters inside the printing pipeline. Acrobat isn't coded to use pstoraster, it is simpling submitting postscript to the print queue. In an un-molested Apple supplied CUPS setup, that works fine.
What is going on is that the CUPS system configuration got mangled by some third party bits. In the Unix tradition, the configuration is fairly transparent, in the form of plain text files. In particular, in /usr/share/cups/mime you will find out exactly how the filter pipeline is configured via a table of what filter to use to convert data between two mime types. So we can inspect how the filters are setup and how a broken pstoraster is getting into the chain.
I don't have a handy "before mangling" state, but I can clearly see the Apple specified filters to be invoked when the input data is application/postscript (in apple.convs). I can also see a conflicting filter definition referencing the broken pstopdf (in mime.convs) but with a higher precedence, overriding the apple specified filter. This is why, in reference to your points #1 and #2, simply removing pstoraster fails, because the filter configuration is what needs fixing.
On my system, I found the pstoraster filter to be a shell script referencing a MacPorts install of ghostscript. I've since removed MacPorts, but that evidentally left the CUPS configuration in this broken state. Without knowing exactly how the CUPS system was put into the broken state, fixing it can be a bit tricky. Another posting suggested replacing the broken pstoraster with the Apple supplied equivalent of pstocupsraster. That might work, but it would be better to simply remove the conflicting filter specification, which on my system is this bit in /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs:
# pstoraster is part of GPL Ghostscript...
application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 100 pstoraster
Removing that will restore the Apple specified filter chain for postscript input. With the filter specification gone, you are free to remove the pstoraster filter itself.
On wating for Adobe to fix this...
Acrobat provides enough things to scream about without pinning non-Acrobat problems on it as well. Not only is this problem not the fault of Acrobat, but suggesting that Acrobat should reach into a CUPS system broken by some unknown third party and fix it is only going to complicate the situation by having two third party products trying to un-do each other's configuration of a system resource. Do you really trust Adobe to fiddle with system components it doesn't own? No, I didn't think so. Adobe installers and updaters have enough trouble with the stuff they do own.
So, why does this problem only seem to affect Acrobat (your point #3)? I suspect it is simply that Acrobat is in the minority of submitting Postscript to the print queue. Any print job produced via CoreGraphics APIs is going to enter the system via a different path (namely, PDF), but the Postscript method is completely legitimate and any application that submits Postscript will be affected in the same way as Acrobat.
I hope this sheds some useful light on what is really going on with this problem.

I want to print from my ipad wth the least amount of issues. I have downloaded some apps that let me print but only out of e mail. What printers do you recommend that print from most apps?

I would like to be able to print from my Ipad 2 with the least amount of effort. I have downloaded a few apps that I thought would be good but they
just let you print from the app and you have to e mail it to yourself to print. I need someone to recommend a printer that I can print seemlessly from most applications and the Ipad will find it.

You need an AirPrint compatible printer, then you don't need any app to print/
Scroll down to the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html
Canon and Epson have also announced AirPrint compatible printers:

Cant print from internet on my d1660.

cant print from internet without restarting the spooler. and have lots of trouble then. usually prints ok from desktop office.

Have you ever had another printer installed on this computer? If so, it is possible that the wrong printer is selected in some of your software settings.

My printer is connected to airport by usb but i cant print from my iphone wirelessly even though my iphone is connected to the network..my macbook pro prints wirelessy

cant print from iphone but can print from macbook pro wirelessly thru airport extreme
why cant i print off the iphone

The iPhone cannot print to a device that is connected to the USB port of an AirPort router unless you install an App like Printopia.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
I like this App because it works for me and there is also a free trial, so that you will know if it will work for you before you buy.

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8:
URGENT, I NEED TO PRINT TODAY !
whenever I need to print something from a web page it doesn't connect to my printer (Samsung ML-1270) but my printer works fine and I have no problems printing e-mails
== a while ago already with older versions of firefox, but I didn't realize the problem is firefox so I can't tell exactly when it started

Posted this elsewhere too; odd thing is both Safari AND Chrome work just fine. Did the suggestions but nothing fixed it, including deleting the app and trying to downgrade to a couple of versions back.
Printing or even print preview on FF results in a blank page. Tried updating the "Add On" but that didn't do anything either. May have to give up on using FF. This is for my mother-in-law's machine and it works fine on my MacBook Pro at home. She's using an iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and this started with a recent upgrade.

Cant print from Word/Excel/Outlook to Onenote (Office 2010)

Have a weird problem. The problem started quite resently....for a lot of users in our domain!
As the title says I cant print from word/outlook/... to onenote.....the only thing i can print from is IE10 to onenote (all other printers work ofc pdf/physical and so on). But if someone has IE8 I doesn't work for them either...
I have the printer under "printers and fax" so its not "gone"....I have tried to repair Office 2010+reboot with no success. AND i have the XPS document Writer present/working aswell.
When i try to print i can see the "printing-icon" in the lower wright corner, so something is obviously "happening"....but if i put my marker there it only says "0 printing jobs for %username%"....and yes i'm currently sitting
in a domain, i'm admin at my computer to(Windows 7 Enterprise).
I'v tried almost everything i could find i terms of repairing and checking the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Ski&cka till OneNote registry key (but that's for IE...and that's working correctly).
Now here's the fun part....if i run winword.exe as administrator (rightclick+Run as administrator) it works!
But that's not a solid workaround....
Anyone knows how to fix this? And as i'v explained...tried to repair several times....restarted services....check so XPS function is enabled and so on and so on...
//Regards Andreas

Hi,
According to your description, I selected the situations which your said above.
1. A lot of Domain account could print from is IE10 to Onenote, but IE 8 not.
2.When Domain account print to Onenote, but it hanged.
3. Word works well if runned as administrator.
From above, I think the printer setting was Ok, beacuse you could print something by using Onenote to physical printer.
As far as I know, OneNote stores a raster and a vector format for the printout images. It will first load the raster image (quicker to load) then quickly switch to vector image (hi res/sharper). The image you see for a split second is the raster
image and then vector format fails to render. I believe you did not lose any data, just that it fails to render due to a configuration issue.
OneNote uses .NET to render the vector format and I have seen cases where the installed .NET version or not installed .NET updates would be a problem. I recommend you first make sure you have
Win7 SP1 and Office and .NET updates that show up in Windows Update are all installed and retry after that.
And then,please check the link:http://www.onenote-tips.com/printfails.html, it may be help for you.
If the issue exists, Please use process monitor to selcet the log when the issue occurs.

Upgrade to tiger, can't print from any app

Hi All
I normally fix my own problems, but this has me stumped.
I've upgraded to tiger and done a software update to 10.4.7.
Now I can't print from any app.
I've done the "reset printing system" but this hasn't worked.
All my printers are ethernet networked, no USB.
At this time of writing, I have just managed to print from indesing CS2, but nothing else, mail, textedit, acrobat, none of them work...
...Don't suppose anyone has any ideas?
PS, when I attempt to print, my app is quit and I have to relaunch.
Az
G5dp, G4qs, mini, eMac, G3 & iPod... big TFT & Nespresso coffee machine! Mac OS X (10.4.7) Should of stayed with panther!

I had the same problem when I upgraded to Tiger. I have a HP PSC 2175 All-in-one printer. I solved my problem by uninstalling the HP printer software, emptying the trash, restarting, and reinstalling the HP printer software. I also installed the lastest HP printer driver, which I downloaded from the HP website.
I repaired permissions after doing all that, and now everything seems to print fine.
I suspect the same steps might work for other printers, as well.
The relevant page from the HP site is here: http://tinyurl.com/ztkwq
Macfixit also has a tutorial for troubleshooting printer problems. I have not tried any of the solutions which involve downloading troubleshooting software. Maybe someone else here can say whether the software mentioned in the article works well or not. You can find the Macfixit information here: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060724111816602
Hope that helps.

Cannot attach files or print from some web sites

When I print from an app, all I get is a solid black piece of paper.

When I use my iPad to print a document from email or safari to my wireless printer it works. But, when I try to print from an app (like my 4-year old's Jake's Pirate School) all we get is a sheet of completely black paper.
Any ideas?

Turns out this is an overall problem....any PDF I try to download on line turns up the same plain black page. Doesn't matter whether it is what I tried to download mentioned above, or if it's the latest power bill from our utility company. An UGLY black screen!! I have it set up that downloaded PDF documents should open in Preview.
On the other hand, any PDF documents in my computer files open with no problem.
Prior to installing Lion, most of my activity lately has been converting AppleWorks documents to Pages and, if that doesn't work, I convert to PDF. Other than that, I haven't been fooling around with any settings.
Once again, I appreciate your input....any other suggestions?

How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5. I can print from this app thru wifi. But it can,t print mail, web pages, etc..

How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5. I can print from the app thru wifi and PC. However am unable to print mail, web pages, etc..
In mail when I try to print it just says can,t find air printers. It used to say print with print n share.

I sent e-mail to developer regarding this and they said that basically Apple has denied them access to the Airprint dialog in the new source code for iOS 5. So, the only way to print to pdf is to capture the e-mail or webpage in the internal apps within Print n Share. INHO, this really *****. Apple should make printing to pdf files just a standard feature of all their apps. If they don't do this, they are going to lose alot of business to the Adroid world as pdf file format is the business standard for all documents.

Hello,

Also, I have an original Ipad, which doesn't have a camera.
