Do not update a printer driver

The Apple version of my Epson printer driver does not work completely with my XP-810 (will not print DVD labels) so I am using the company's version. How do I tell the app store to stop asking me to update using their drivers?

Hello,
These did not work for me.  The printer is already installed using GP.  The driver is sitting somewhere on the print server.  When I right click on the printer, I see the command "Update Driver".  I am trying to find out how
to kick off that "Update driver" from a command line.
You might take a look at this:

    I updated HP Printer Driver yesterday.  Although I can pring and scan, none of the Printer Utility fuctions work - it will not read my printer details, clean print heads etc

    This has happened with previous HP updates, so I suggest you go to HP's site to see if there are other complaints/responses.

    I have an epson T50 shared network, which is connected to a computer that runs on Windows 7 64-bit. The 10 days Apple has updated the printer drive and since then has been trying to print the following message: / Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS/ rastertoescpII failed.
    What should I do?

    The first thing you should do is re-write your post to make it a bit more understandable. I got you have an Epson printer connected to your PC, however after that  your post doesn't make any sense. Are you attempting to print from your iMac, if so then you need to download and install Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine. Then set Windows so it has printer sharing turned on and then on the iMac simply follow Apple's instructions for adding a printer.

  • Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

    I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
    On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
    When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
    Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
    On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

    I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
    Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
    If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
    Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
    Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
    - from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
    - go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
    - go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
    Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
    If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
    Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
    1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
    delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
    2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
    delee the PDF port monitor if present
    3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
    again delete and pdf printer subkey
    If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
    Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
    Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
    Copy and pate the following commands in order
    1: net stop spooler
    2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
    3: net start spooler
    4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
    That should set back the pdf printer.
    This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

  • Snow Leopard Updated Epson Printer Driver for Epson R800 - poor colour !

    I just installed through software update the latest epson printer drivers and, then, deleted the Epson R800 from my printer list and added it back in (with the new printer driver). I did find a slightly different printer dialog box and found the setting of "presets" worked now (it did not previously).
    However, when I printed out of Adobe Lightroom 2.6, using a custom paper profile and no colour management, that the print was faded, the colours were washed out. The result was unacceptable. After a few attempts, I looked in the Library folder, printers, epson and found two folders labeled, "inkjet printer" and "inkjet printer2". I determined that "inkjetprinter2" was the new folder and deleted it and deleted/added in my Epson r800 (using "inkjetprinter" folder. The resulting print was perfect.
    So, my conclusion is that the new driver is not functioning as it should and I would warn users to be prepared for problems. Am I missing something here? Could I have done the updating of the printer driver and printer differently?

    You may need to recalibrate you monitor color settings.
    One of the things that changed from 10.5 to 10.6 was gamma; if you are using calibration from 10.5 or earlier, the gamma change will throw off print colors.
    Personally, on my last 2 epson printers (R300, RX685), I've configured to let the printer color manage, and used the Vivid setting.
    Have not had any off colors, etc.

  • Window update causing printer driver problems

    Hi, I have a laptop running XP and wireless router (WAG54G) and a HP6380 All in one. About 2 nights ago a Windows update installed by itself and rebooted the laptop (even though I have Automatic Updates turned off as they seem to screw with anything these updates occur anyway grr)..
    I went to try and print and found that the 6380 was missing from the list of available printers.. The problem is not with the wireless network (as that is connected and working). I am not sure what this windows update did.. but when I tried to reinstall the drivers for this printer from the disc, it recognised that they were already installed.. So I uninstalled them instead (and it picked up that only parts of the driver remained and it removed those parts).
    So then I tried to do a fresh driver install.. which took a long time as it got stuck at the end...Eventually it came up with an error and so I tried to submit to HP - and was given a desktop icon to click on.. (HP Installation Icon - XP). I have tried it but it tells me to 1)reinstall driver (done that twice - well attempted anyway... or 2) troubleshoot Wireless printing (a non-issue at this stage given that I have no printer driver and I can use the wireless network for other things just fine)
    Does anyone have any suggestions please> In the past when Windows updates have caused issues I have used System Restore to roll back but that is only a temporary solution - as Windows insists on updates that I dont want!
    Many thanks!

    If you have the original HP software CD, look in the ccc/utils folder for an L3_unintsall (or similar).  Run it for a very thorough uninstall.
    Reboot.
    Now, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page.  DO NOT reinstall from the CD (a good rule in general is to not use software CDs, but go to the manufacturer's web site for the latest and greatest).

  • Graph attributes not updating on print VI

    Hi All,
    At my current client's lab they are having problems with printing test result graphs to HTML. They typically have two almost identical VIs with graphs. The first one is the operator's GUI, colored, lots of buttons, etc. This displays properly.  When it comes time to print the test reports they send both data and graph attributes, such as scales, etc, to a simplified version of the graph VI. This second VI has a white background, all the operator's buttons have been removed, a few new summary tables usually get added, then they tell this VI to print it's front panel to HTML.  Been there, done that.
    The finished HTML reports often show that the second, white, VIs sometimes do not have the correct graph scaling. The data looks correct, but the scales are way off.  I have not yet been asked to look at the code, but that is probably coming soon. I have been asked to ask my LabVIEW contacts for general ideas related to this technique.
    Unfortunately the code is on a secure system in a secure lab, so I cannot post an actual VI from the project. I seem to recall seeing similar problems on a project long ago and the solution(s) involved keeping the printing VIs open and the order that data and attributes were applied, etc.
    The code is very very legacy and cannot be replaced at this time & budget, I may be asked for help in finding a quick modification solution. Any thoughts, sequence of steps, things to remember to check, etc are appreciated.

    It's likely a problem with the report VI grabbing the front panel image
    before it has been updated properly by the property nodes.  After
    speaking with some of my colleagues here, we have seen situations where
    if you configure the subvi to open when called,
    programmatically minimize it, and close it when it's finished; the
    subvi will work.  You could also consider enforcing dataflow
    dependencies between the scale updates and the report VI functions,
    possibly introducing a wait function in between to ensure that the
    panel can be updated completely before the image is taken.  Of
    course, without access to code, I can only offer suggestions and
    general information about what has worked in the past.  If you get
    more information, let me know!

  • Some videos not working on 60G (did not update).  Hard drive issue?

    Help! My Ipod hates me
    Having big problems with some video files freezing up after anywhere between 30 minutes and some not able to even start. These same files worked fine a few months ago. However some movie files still work fine and all the music files still work.
    When this problem happens it seems like the hard drive is trying to read the file because I can feel the ipod slightly vibrating but sometimes the video stops and sound continues and other times the whole file just stops.
    Things I've tried so far:
    1)restored and reset (multiple times)
    2)reversed the update from 1.1 to 1.0
    3)tried multiple dvd to ipod programs (cucusoft, videora, super ipod, streamclip)
    4)MUX'ed with YAMB
    5)tried different speeds of converting dvd to ipod
    6)bought 1 hour video from itunes which works fine
    7)screamed at and insulted my ipod multiple times. It didn't work but it sure felt good.
    8)these same files seem to work perfectly on a friends brand new 60G ipod.
    9)all movies play perfectly on my desktop with quicktime and itunes.
    Maybe I'm jumping the gun here but I fear this may be a hard drive vs board issue but thought I would see if anyone else has any other suggestions or similar problems.
    Ugh! As I sit here and write this I just reset (not restored) my ipod, and now all the files are gone. CRAP!
    My ipod hates me.

  • HT201104 My Numbers file not updating in iCloud drive on Imac

    both iPads working beautifully, but I cannot get the latest version on my iMac in iCloud d

    Hello james beresford-wylie,
    So the updated Numbers file is being updated on iCloud as both iPads are seeing it, but the Mac is not getting the new version in iCloud Drive.
    My first thoughts are does the update show on icloud.com (on the Mac) and is the file showing in the Finder but pending the download.
    From
    Get help using iCloud Drive - Apple Support
    If you still don't see the latest changes or you see an "in-progress change" icon or the iCloud Drive icon in the notification area (system tray), try to save a new document to the iCloud Drive folder. Then check the iCloud Drive folder to see if the changes appear.
    Take care,

  • I updated my printer driver but System Profiler still shows old version.

    How can I force os x to use newest driver?  My Brother hl2220 came with a driver version 3.1.3, but they showed an upgrade to 3.1.3b.  I downloaded it and installed it, but System Profiler still shows 3.1.3 in use.

    So you are saying the original DIMMs are there plus the ones you added, all were recognized before the repair but only the Apple-supplied after the repair.
    Just trying to keep all of this straight in my mind.
    In that case, you might try removing the DIMMs you installed and reinstalling, one at a time and see if they are recognized. If they are not, then they may have gone bad for some reason, who knows why, and it is time to look at the warranty you have from the people from whom you purchased the DIMMs.
    If it was someone like Crucial or OWC (macsales) they are really good about their lifetime warranty.
    If the warranty is lifetime, contact the supplier and see what the process is for replacement.
    It is strange that both would work, and then fail. But stranger things have happened with computers.

  • Windows 7 clients need to update printer driver for no reason

    I have a problem with my Windows 7 clients in domain. We have 2012 print server and multiple printers installed on it. I installed a brand new Canon IR printer with a new driver from Canon webpage. After I did that, almost all Windows 7 clients got a warning
    that they need to update driver for printing. Those clients are NOT using the printer I installed, but the other ones (who worked fine until my installation). Is it possible that installing new printer cause other compatible printers to update themselfs???
    Can I avoid it in the future?

    Hi IvanSa83,
    The main issue is that installing a new printer will affect other printers, right?
    Here is a similar symptom and the environment is Windows 7 ,Windows 2003 Server. The OP in this case has resolved this issue by modifying the Group policy called “Point and Print Settings Restrictions”. This policy will influence Windows Vista and the later
    version.
    As the link posted by OP said: When an administrator updates a printer driver on a shared print server, the Point and Print feature automatically updates printer drivers from the print server to a client computer. Some printers may share driver files
    across several printer models or across a family of printers. An update to one of these shared driver files will cause client computers to update the drivers for any device that depends on the updated files.
    Here is the case link :
    Windows 7 client "Driver update required" status when other printers installed / updated on Win Server 2003
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3c8d8c6f-b216-464d-92b7-ef94838ae36b/windows-7-client-driver-update-required-status-when-other-printers-installed-updated-on-win?forum=winserverprint
    Here is the group policy path: Computer Configuration \Administrator Templates\Printers

  • IPrint Client: Printer Driver Profile Update

    what would be the best way to Update a Printer Driver Profile with ZCM?
    i published the Printer Policy with a new Version and checked "Update iPrint printer driver while installing the printer" for the Printer.
    But this did not trigger the Update of the Device Settings.
    However the User could delete the Device and after ZCM Agent refresh the Policy will install the missing Printer together with the Updated Profile.
    Two side notes about iprint:
    1. i set mistakenly install order to install iprint client before Novell Client on some Devices. This seems to lead to an authentication Prompt for logged users when the Printer Policy is about to install new Printers. This would not change if i update to the current Version 5.82.
    btw. I prefer a Bundle to Update the iprint Client with 3 minutes delay after refresh just in case there is a printer Policy running. The Update will check \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell-iPrint Current Version as requirement.
    2. I need to give users write Acess to C:\NDPS to make Printer Policies work right?!
    This MAYBE cosmetic only but... i sometimes see inconsistent Printer Names. There is a "translation" of Server-Names under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell-iPrint\Settings\Server Names\[Full qualified DNS server Name] to a short Server Name with TimeStamp.
    Some Clients show the full server Name (ipp://...) others the nicer short-Name. Could not exactly reproduce but it seems that it resolve the short Name only if the local Admin installs the Printer.
    best regards
    Markus
