Downloaded new updates, problem printing

I downloaded some new updates. I have a HP officejet 6110xi printer with driver version 2.2.9. I'm using OS 10.3.9. I used the older version of the driver because the newer one had caused some printing problems. The HP tech told me to use it and I had no problem with printing for a long time. Then I updated software and now I can't print from my photoshop cs2 or indesign. In the past I could print from my internet but having problem with it now. I went into my printer utility and did a test print and it printed. But it wouldn't print from any other applications including pdf, jpg etc. Any ideas?

Hi Angela,
You might try downloading and running Print Center Repair version 4.2.3 for Panther. That may solve your problem.
From your description, I would guess that a plist file for the HP printer got trashed by the OSX software update. Or, maybe a config file in CUPS.
For CUPS problems, look in /etc/cups for the two files: printers.conf and ppds.dat . Especially printers.conf as that file should have an entry for each printer you use. If your HP 6110 isn't listed in that file, simply replace the above two files in /etc/cups with copies from a backup tape, or another similar Mac OSX.
I found that simply re-installing the HP software didn't replace those two files. That's because they are part of the CUPS , the Common UNIX Printing System.
Good Luck!

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

My phone on contract with t-mobile . Thanks

    You can't have content in iCloud without having it on your phone, you will need to look at deleting items from your device that you don't need. Movies and TV shows from iTunes are possibly a good start because they tend to be large and can be redownloaded at a later date.

  • Problems with zen x-fi after downloading new update or after plugging it into my hi

    hiya a couple of days ago i downloaded the new update for my zen x-fi 32gb, on the same day i plugged the zen into my hi-fi for the st time
    ever since then the volume has been quieter and my equalizers havent been working
    when i start the player up and use the ear-phones its really quiet but i turn the speaker on and off again and it sounds a little bit louder but not as loud as it used to be
    i used to have the volume up to 6-8 and now its on 22-24, but it sounds like the same volume
    i try to change the equalizers but it sounds no different
    is there anything i can do? or is there anyway of telling wheather its the hi-fi or the update? thanks alot

    Hi again.
    After much fiddling with firmware and the player I have re-upgraded the firmware to the newest 08 version (it was already loaded anyway). I have also turned off all the 'extras' like the X-Fi and crystalliser and this has solved the crashing. I tested the playback the other day without these 'extras' and using the hold switch to power down the screen... and battery life was excellent - around 26 hours!
    Anyway, the problem I have now is the battery is dying when the unit is turned off because it has gone into this standby mode i keep reading about. I have researched on this forum and Anything but ipod forum but i can't find a definiti've answer on how to solve this problem.
    Can someone confirm which version of firmware I should downgrade to Or if there are any tricks to save my battery when i'm not using the player?
    Thanks

  • TS3212 Unable to download new update for iTunes on my computer after installing OS6 on iPhone

    I have had no problems in the past being able to download updates until now.
    I updated my iPhone 3GS to OS6 with no problems and now I cannot get my iTunes on my computer to download a new update from 10.5 to 10.7 and it now rejects my phone when syncing, saying that it needs to have an update to 10.6.3 or higher.  Is there anyway to get the update function back to working on my current iTunes without having to reinstall? If I must reinstall my iTunes, will it still keep all my data from before like an update or do I lose everything and have to start from scratch or will the installer keep the old config that is currently installed?
    Things I have tried:
    Restarting the computer---same results
    I opened the software update application inside the software folder--opens the update window but has no updates listed in it...then tried to update again while having it open--still nothing.
    Only thing I can think of at this point is to reinstall.
    Just hoping for any help in order to avoid having to do this.
    (Using Windows7 64-bit on my computer)
    Any helpfull answers would be highly appreciated.

    I bit the bullet and downloaded a fresh install download from apple.com since the updater would no longer work.
    Still a mystery as to why the updater was no longer working.
    Kept the original installed iTunes where it was and sent the new install to its same folder location.
    First couple of attempts failed to download but I persisted and the third attempt it downloaded.
    After the download, I went into the iTunes folder, clicked on the setup icon and the install was made complete.
    Fortunately as diesel pointed out, all of my settings and media remained intact.
    Thanks to diesel vdub for providing a little assurance, and now all is back to normal and up to date once again.

  • 10.5.5 Update PROBLEM Printing to Xerox from inDesign

    I just updated to 10.5.5 and I'm having problems printing from inDesign to a Xerox Phaser 7760. All print outs come out distorted (stretch horizontally) I called Adobe and the work around they gave me is when I hit print, under setup [Paper Size] must be set to "Defined by Driver" not the actual paper size you want to print. That now has to be set under the [Page Setup] tab. Very annoying and inexplicable.
    The problem only occurs when I print to this specific printer from just inDesign. It doesn't happen with any other program or if I print to any other printers from inDesign.

    That solved it. For others that are interested, you need to either go to another machine that has 10.5.4 or download that image file from somewhere and do the following.
    command-shift-G in the Finder to enable you to open the hidden folder, paste /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ as the go-to line. The file your looking to replace with the old system is called pstops. I saved a backup of the 10.5.5 version before replacing it with the older 10.5.4 You will need to log in as root in order to do the replacement of the files.
    I would suggest someone try a safer and easier solution. Try installing Ghostscript. You can get a Mac OS X installer for Ghostscript at _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/foomatic_. This will leave your hidden system files intact so you don't accidently break something.
    I don't guarantee that this will work, but given the solution that Justin Lancaster posted about using Rosetta brought using Ghostscript to mind. What I think may be happening is that when using the Adobe applications under Rosetta, the applications are sending PDF or PICT with PostScript to the printing system. When running natively on Intel Macs, I believe the applications are sending PostScript to the printing system. I have seen this with Adobe Reader 8. Printing from Adobe Reader 8 on an Intel Mac sends PostScript to the printing system. If Ghostscript is present on your system, it will use Ghostscript rather than the Apple supplied pstops filter.
    I hope someone will give Ghostscript a try and report back. I don't have any of the mentioned Adobe applications to test this on. Ghostscript does come with an uninstaller, so it can easily be removed if it doesn't solve the problem or the issue with Apple's pstops filter is resolved.

  • Phone won't download new update 1.1.1

    Hello, this is the first apple product I have ever purchased, and more than likely the last, Had the phone 2 weeks, downloaded the other update 1.0.3 I think it was. I travel alot, did it on my laptop with an aircard, no problems. this new update downloads the whole 152.3mb on itunes, then it says done, then a window pops up saying something to the effect of there was a problem downloading to michaels iphone, unknown error occured then it says (-48) and check your connection and so forth, try again later. I have tried it about 10 times. Been on the phone with apple support for over 3 hours, the first guy gave me a bunch of bs that it was the aircard being to slow and timing out, if it timed out it would have stopped somewhere b4 152.3mb and saying done..I have also tried on wifi to no avail, we tried with norton firewall off and so on, I did download the newest version of itunes, still no luck, reset the phone, no luck....the only thing i haven't done is to restore the phone to original....don't want to lose all my stuff.....any ideas would be appreciated....oh and the first guy at support finally ended up saying that there was problems with the new download and that I should just not download it...the last guy I have left messages for 3 times and he NEVER gets back to me......IMHO their support *****.

    just a few questions:
    1) what kind of computer are you on?
    2) What operating system are you using?
    3) Have you installed any 3rd party apps?
    4) Are you using AT&T as your cellular provider?
    5) Have you installed anyother updates prior to this one?
    6) What version of iTunes are you using?
    7a) Do you have a 4gig or 8gig iPhone?
    7b) How much free space is left on your phone?
    or
    7c) how many songs have you placed on the phone?
    8) Is there a Apple store in a city you are traveling within?
    9) Is there another computer with iTunes installed that you can try to update on?
    10) Did you name your phone using a ' or other symbol... if so right click in itunes and rename..

  • Downloading app updates problem - iTunes 11.1

    Since I downloaded and installed the new version, it keeps freezing when downloading app updates, they get so far then sort-of hang. I get no error messages. Is there a way I can stop a download and restart it?

    Hey Steve,
    I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
    You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
    After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
    Hope this helps with your issue as well.
    Best

  • Acrobat 9.1.2 New Update Causes Print Error

    operating sys: Win XP
    ver: Acrobat 9.1.2
    I'm using a Master file on the printer and marrying my data file to that master.
    Ever since I received the new update, any time I print a file over 35 pgs. from Adobe Acrobat it prints out about 30 pgs. correctly and on the next print it spits out the Master file but for the data it prints out the following error:
    "ERROR: undefined
    OFFENDING COMMAND: limitcheck
    STACK:
    32
    -dictionary-"
    I've tried printing to different printers and on different projects but as soon as throw that .pdf into an InDesign document and print from the InDesign program the project prints out correctly.
    Any suggests as to how to fix this? OR Will this be fixed in the newest update?

    Windows 7 64 Pro, Thunderbird 7.0 (updated recently) : the "publish form" is completely bugged.
    Before reading solutions here : can't find mail program error messages (can't find my adress book in TB)
    After applying the fix : set the by default programm forced on Thunderbird -> http://forums.adobe.com/message/3610561#3610561
    Acrobat "resolves mail adress", then the submit button make a small dialog box appear (can't read anything in it). Nothing happens.
    I can click and re-click several times, same "empty" or "not displaying a message long enough" dialog box keeps appearing. No forms sent whatsoever.
    This is critical. I'm an ACI. I must set up a special training for one of our customers, about delivering forms. Ok, that issue is on my personnal computer, so far.
    I may need to fix the install, or reinstall whatsoever, BUT : can I really come with that kind of answers in a classroom ?
    "-Oh, and now publish the form, by clicking here..."
    "-Oh, that doesn't work ? Hmmm, it's a known issue without any solution. Uninstall everything and reinstall everything, that should work (or not). Yeah, I know, it's Acrobat...
    and no, sorry, I don't have time to uninstall an reinstall everything on all the computers in the classroom, sorry, it's the end of the day. Bye ! What ? You, students, think this
    training was in fact useless ? Hm, you kinda of right...we spent a whole day setting forms, discussed how Acrobat is a cool software, and in the end our forms are good to be dropped to the trashcan."
    May we have a answer from the Acrobat Team here ?

  • Just downloaded new update

    Hi!  I just downloaded the new update & now I can't open any of my numbers documents.  Please help!

    Kelbella,
    You should be able to open the previous version of Numbers which is stored in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09".  Also try restarting your computer.  Can you share what does, or does not, happen when you try to open one of your Numbers files?

  • Reason for the new updater problems..

    Hey, i know about the problem witht he new updater...and I have fixed it by downgrading my ipod. But i was just wondering if anyone has figured out why movies dont work? is it because they are trying to force you to buy the music videos and stop people from illegally importing them. even though its not always illegal. SO i just wanted to know if anyone knows if it is just a glitch or mistake in the update or what?

    In order to downgrade go to
    http://ipodlinux.org/Uninstallation and follow the
    instructions.
    Huh, he didn't say he was using iPod Linux?
    If you want to downgrade...
    1) Uninstall the 1.1 updater from your computer.
    2) Install 1.0 from the CD that came with your iPod.
    3) Plug in your iPod.
    4) Run the 1.0 updater.
    5) Select 'restore'.
    6) Follow instructions.
    7) Resync with iTunes.

  • I can't download new updates

    I get a prompt saying that a new version of Itunes or Icloud is available.  I click "Ok", then get prompted by windows to verify that I do indeed want to install the update.  I again click yes.  The computer then looks like it's going to start downloading the update, but instead it brings me back to the first step saying "updates are available."  Is anyone else having this trouble ?

    Perhaps try a repair install of your Apple Software Update. Restart the PC, go into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and click "Repair".
    If the repair goes through okay, can you update your iTunes and iCloud control panel now?
