"Cups" problem with HP printer

My HP LaserJet P1102w printer is not printing PDFs.   I have consulted with HP.   After several experiments, HP recommends that I ask Apple.  The HP clerk says that my “cups” is not working:
“The Cups isn't processing the PDF file, which is causing the print queue in not continuing to allow you to print from any other applications.
“If you continue to have this issue, please contact Apple, they might have to reinstall the cups printing software on the Mac. Contact Apple Support.”

Here is the latest discussion from HP.   The problem is with some of my PDFs, but not all.   As I report here, HP's owner manual prints normally.
Re: P1102w stuck on PDF in Preview
Please download and save this PDF. Only print one page.
LASERJET PROFESSIONAL P1100 Printer series.
I just want to rule any issues with previous PDF documents that were saved on the computer.
If you have access to another printer, install that printer on the computer and try and print a PDF.
If you are still not able to print the PDF with another printer, you will have to contact Apple.
Thank You.

The first page (the front cover) printed just fine.
So the problem may be my individual PDFs themselves.   That is puzzling, because until a week ago, these PDFs printed satisfactorily.

Thanks for letting me know the one page printed from the manual RGilpin.
The screen shot you had provided showed that Preview had created the file.
I believe it might have something to do with the application Preview and how the files were saved or may have gotten corrupted. Not really sure. Preview comes with the operating system, reach out to the forums or contact Apple to see if they can assist you further.
Thank You.

  • CUPS problems with PDF printing

    I am having all manner of problems with PDF printing.  Recently added a Lexmark MX710 and have 7 machines that were previously printing fine to an X652de a T652 as well as a Samsung CLP770.  All network printers.
    Now there are bizarre issues with PDF printing. CUPS version 1.6.1.  The MX710 will blue screen and reboot when printing one specific pdf without fail.  There are all kinds of random nonsensical results when printing from different locations.  A pdf that stalls the X and T652 with "filter error" will print from my own machine to the same printer, using the same versions of cups, .ppd file, and everything package related to cups.
    Yet other PDF files will print, while some print complete gibberish, I can't find any rhyme or reason or anything predictable about any of it other than to say printing postscript files works fine all around.
    This has been universally in KDE printing through Okular.
    I've tried some things I've found suggested, such as modifying the mime.conv as suggested by an old ubuntu thread, adding the a2ps package, all to zero effect.

    At this point the only reasonable explanation I can think of is that the ppd package I downloaded and installed via included shell script from lexmark for the mx710 caused this whole catastrophe.  The only common thread for this problem starting was that I used this on all of the affected machines and they now all manifest problems.  And on four of these machines this is literally all that was done, they were loaded in september, have not been updated via pacman in any way, and are running the exact same version of cups poppler, and okular that they were then, which was working, and now cannot print pdf to any printer at all without causing one of several problems depending on the printer.
    I cannot seem to get this reversed though.  I've gone so far as to force remove all the cups packages, and delete the files associated with the install script, but the problem remains afterward.  From what I can see so far all this lexmark package did was display a license agreement, then copy the ppd files in it's folder to /usr/share/ppd/Lexmark.  This particular printer, the mx710 has no .ppd available that I have found other than this one from Lexmark directly.  Open printing doesn't have anything for this model.
    This printer's driver has some kind of a cups filter driver with it that the install script presumably installs, I suspect this could be what caused the problem specifically, but I must not be removing it correctly, despite following the file removal suggestions in the Lexmark readme for uninstallation.  CUPS printing is something I am new to and only have a basic understanding of.
    To answer some specific questions I nearly forgot, I don't have cups pdf installed.  I have chrome installed which can successfully save pages to PDF, previously it could also print pdf, and presumably it prints everything as pdf given the cups pdf workflow.  That is also broken now too, so printing from the browser causes the printer to fail as well.  If I save as pdf from chrome, and print with adobe reader, it works.

  • Problem with HP Printer Utility and Mac OSX 10.5.4

    I have a problem with HP printer Utility. When a standard user adds a new paper profile HP Printer Utility asks to type an administrator's name and password to allow HP printer Utility to make changes. Is it possible to avoid this? Otherwise I have to give admin rights to every user because they have to be able to add new papers. HP printer Utility sharing and permisssions are set to read and write to everyone.

  • T.code FBL5N: a problem with the print of the output list

    Hi All,
    with reference to the t.code FBL5N, I have  a problem with the print of the output list of the report.
    When I execute the print, I obtain one customer for each page printed.
    I wonder if is possible to obtain more customers for each page printed.
    Could anyone help me?

  • Problems with my printer HP Officejet pro 8600 Plus + Yosemite

    Hi got problems with my printer HP Officejet pro 8600 Plus till I installed Yosemite it is not recognized so what can I do now.. No new drivers found by HP

    Thanks for this AnnRT!
    I've spent the best part of a day trying to figure this out. Everything was fine and then one day nothing worked! I have narrowed the issue down to Bonjour via WiFi as everything worked fine via USB, and via IP over WiFi.
    I've now set a static IP for the printer and things seem to be working fine again
    Thanks!

  • Problem with pdf-printing in Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.3.
    PDF-printing has always worked great but suddenly there is some kind of problem.
    After printing a excel-document from "Print to pdf" built-in function in MacOS OR Adobes Printer I have corruptet pdf-files when showing them in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, but the MacOS Preview-software shows them correct.
    So, there cannot be any problem with the printing, but the local preview on my computer using Reader or Acrobat. I dont even use the Myriad font in the document, I use Verdana.

    You say you're using Verdana but you're not. The error message clearly shows you're using MyriadPro Bold.
    You probably recently installed the Mac OS X 10.6.7 update which has a bug with OpenType PostScript fonts like MyriadPro Bold. Either use Verdana or another TrueType or PostScript font, or revert to Mac OS X 10.6.6.
    Read about the problem here: http://www.tidbits.com/article/12078

  • Problems with HP printer and PSE 11 (was bill v)

    When using my HP 7020e photosmart printer and Adobe photoshop elements 11, I get a very small white border on the prints. I have set for borderless printing. Adobe says the print size is 4.2 x 6.18 instead of 4 x 6. Any suggestions?

    I had already set it to borderless but it still prints a very small white 
    border. HP had no solution. I am ready to send the printer back to them.

  • Problem with my printer "sorry not recognised"

    Dispite posting the problem i had after MUCH hard work and searching for how to do this, i never got a reply (i thought this was a support forum), i hate to say it but support from HP has seriously gone down hill, i have a problem with my printer which is in warrenty can i send and email NOOOOOOO cos i have to put S/N and product number i put them in but i get "sorry not recognised" How the hell are you meant to get any support when they make 99% impossible to to post and email them  i am sorry HP but your support is a shambles, your heads should be hung in shame.

    Same problem and the same printer, Yosemite not recognize the printer (which I think is incredible, Windows was better in these areas to get a new OS).
    Some advice from those who have been mentioned here and do not solve the problem?
    If I had known I stay with Snow Leopard, worked best on Imac mid-2010.
    Very unhappy with Apple, had understood that they were more serious and respectful to customers.

  • Pavillion G6. Shrunk C Drive, and formatted the other as I drive. Had some problems with my printe

    I shrank C drive. that left me with another drive, which I formatted as drive I.  The recovery drive is D, as it was when I received the computer.   I had some problems with my printer (Epson) through a Dlink DIR655B1, and wanted to return the computer to factory condition.
    When I try to use the recovery through Windows, it says factory reset is disabled??  When I try to shut down, reboot, and use the bios restore, it just comes up with an error message, says to use the dvd that came with the computer, which it didn't?
    Any way I can put this all back to normal?
    Thanks

    You damaged the partition structure when you shrank C, see this guide to properly add a 5th partition after you get it restored using HP recovery media.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • There is a problem with the printer or ink system.

    Will not print. Turn it off then back on; will print one document, but not the last page. Try printing only the last page, but will not print. Will not print one page documents at all. Will not print more than one document without repeating this process.
    First Error message: "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn the printer off, then on. If you continue to get this message, contact HP." Out of warranty.

  • I am unable to print a proper playlist in the jewel case format.  Lines print on top of one another.  No problem with other print formats

    I am unable to properly print a playlist in the jewel case format.  All lines bunch together.  I have no problem with other print formats.  Help please.

    If it is a USB powered external, no AC adpater, that may be the reason. Mac notebooks are known to have low powered USB ports. You can get around that with a Y USB cable to connect to 2 USB ports at the same time.

    Ralph, Thanks for replying. There where no received SIP messages at all just the INVITE being sent but I have made some more progress. The mini does indeed just work. I can do everything that you are supposed to do to other ichat users on the internet. Very nice.
    The imac is still playing up but I have got further. I had peerguardian2 installed which unknown to me doesn't need to be running to prevent you for accessing 'barred' IP addresses. snatmap.mac.com is barred in the lists! I discovered this when I saw one of your other posts showed how to turn on terminal logging for ichat. Now that I have turned off peerguardian2 (using the disable filters option) I can make calls to the testbot and see the adverts. I have even done a video conference with the two testbots. I will just uninstall peerguardian2.
    However, I can not get a AV chat working to a real user....
    In response to your suggestions:-
    I have tried all the options for quicktime streaming but will try 1.5Mb/s again.
    The ichat bandwidth limit is set to "none". I am in New Zealand and I have standard ADSL (not ADSL2+) 7.6M down 512K up. The mini config is also set to none.
    Internet sharing is off.
    I have had parallels on the machine but the two interfaces that it installed "Parallels Host-Guest" and "Parallels NAT" are configured 'off' and show as not connected. Is this enough? I will uninstall parallels and see if that helps since I don't use it. I also have VMware's thing installed but that doesn't seem to add any interfaces.
    I need to capture a full trace of the imac to other ichat user to see what is happening but will update when I have does your suggested changes or have a trace
    Thanks again
