Error message "unable to get printer status"

I am connecting an HP6700 with a macbook pro running 10.8 wirelessly. Wireless printing has been working fine for months until it recently stopped. I have reconnected to wireless network on both printer and computer, restarted both machines, both say they are connected to the wireless network. However when I try to print it starts to print and then I get an error message that says "unable to get printer status" I don't know what else to do. Help!

Hi lizse,
Welcome to the HP forums!
Sorry to hear you've been having trouble printing wirelessly between your Mac running 10.8 and your Officejet 6700 printer but I will certainly do my best to help out
To start, I know you've power cycled the printer and the Mac but I'm wondering if maybe your router had an update. I'd like you to turn off the printer and Mac, once they power down pull the power cord on your router for 30 seconds. Once the router is back up (the lights have returned to normal) turn the Mac and then the printer back on. Once they settle, please try to print again.
If that doesn't resolve the issue please try resetting your printing system (don't re-add the printer just yet) and then perform a verify/repair of disk permissions. Once those complete, reboot the Mac and re-add the printer before trying to print again.
Hope to hear back from you soon!

"unable to get printer status" and "server-error-not-accepting-jobs"

I've got an Intel Mac Pro with Tiger. When I accepted the latest update from Apple, I lost all my defined printers! I've re-added a local USB printer and a networked Laserjet - fine. But I also added a Phaser 850 color printer (networked) which used to work fine. It connects ok, and opens the printer queue window, but when it tries to print, it says "Unable to get printer status (server-error-not-accepting-jobs". The queue stays active (not stopped) but the jobs don't move. I've tried deleting the printer and re-making it - same deal. What's going on?

Error Message: Unable to get document: HTTP-1

We run tools 8.44 and Enterprise Portal 8.8. There are some paglets created on the Portal as well including a payadvice pagelet for the users to look up their pay information. Pay information comes from the HCM DB. What we notice from time to time is that when logging in to the Portal, the pay advice pagelet will not display and gives "Error getting Content".
I check the app and web logs and they come back with "Failed to load URL: http://server1.domain.ca/psc/environment/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/s/WEBLIB_EO_PE_LN.ISCRIPT2.FieldFormula.IScript_EPP_NAV_PAGELET in the Portal registry.

Lion server: Unable to get printer status

I am attempting to connect a shared printer to my Lion server (for the purposes of printing documents from the server). The printer is connected to an iMac running Lion via USB and printer sharing is on. Other computers on the network are able to add and print to it fine.
The printer adds to the printer list without issue, but when I attempt to print a document, it shows "Unable to get printer status" in the queue. I've added/removed and reset printing system many times, but still no luck. I've also re-downloaded printer drivers from Apple and restarted the system.
Any ideas to get this working? Thanks.

It seems you are unable to backup on an existing Time Machine backup drive. I have linked to an article that may help you troubleshooting the issue:

Then change ports, this message appears for another port.
Thanks for answer.
Gita

The port is open by another resource. You note that you should also get an error if you try to access the port in hyperterminal. Try rebooting your computer and the first thing you try is opening a VISA session with Visa Interactive control(VISAIC).
If that fails, then you have a driver accessing your ports.
If it works then it was just two applications that were trying to access your port (LabVIEW and VISAIC are seperate apps even thought they both may be using VISA.)
Closing VISA sessions:
LabVIEW will only *automatically* close VISA sessions if you have this option set: Tools>>options>>Automatically close VISA sessions.
Otherwise you need to explicitly call a Visa close on the resource.

Envy 5534 on MAC- print error message unable to convert post scrip file

New printer set up fine prints letter but when I want it to print a page with bar code on get error message :-
print error message unable to convert post scrip file
Can any one help please
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @itsalex,
What type of bar code are you printing, and from what program? Just a thought, what if you print the barcode as an image, if you are not already? Try File>Print> Advanced> Print as Image> print.
If the issue persists, let's reset the printing system and repair the disk permissions; doing so may resolve the issue.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer drive. In the screenshot below, you will see Airprint is auto selected, you can change it to the HP driver though.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Talk to you later alligator

Why do I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502) when I try to open Mobile Web?

I have an LG Octane 3 basic phone.   Does everything I need, phone and text, and I never was interested in web or e-mail capabilities until I recently upgraded our plan to the "More Everything" and was able to use data and check e-mail and access the internet.   Whenever I try to open Mobile Web, I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502)".    As of March 31, 2015, all of us basic phone users lose the "Mobile Email" app on our phones, and will have to access web versions of our e-mail via the web. Which is currently unavailable and doesn't work.
Over a week ago, did a chat session with a tech support rep, and she indicated that either she or an engineer would contact me with how to fix the problem.   Have not heard anything from anybody, and the deadline is approaching quickly.   Have no need of all the excess features of a smart phone, nor do I wish to be forced to jettison a perfectly working phone for my needs and buy something I don't want to be able to do 2 simple things.............check e-mail to see if there's something that needs to be answered right away, and to check traffic reports when I'm on the road, or find something in an area with which I'm not familiar.     Not really too much to ask, you would think....   )
Has anyone else had this same problem, and if so, how do we fix it....??? My next move is a phone call, but those haven't always been very productive.
If any of you have any ideas why this error keeps coming up and the web can't load, and some on how to fix it, I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.
Karen

Since the chat session got no reply, I contacted Verizon by phone and a very nice level 2 tech created a trouble ticket and sent it up the food chain. Got a call back, maybe 2 days later, and had a nice, although very long session with a higher level tech. They had determined that the browser for the LG Octane is an old one and no longer supported by Verizon.    We tried everything we could to download the Opera browser, but since I was totally unable to get Mobile Web to work, couldn't do it.   The only other possible "fix" was to totally reset the phone to factory specs and try it again.   That would mean a lot of work on my part to move anything I didn't want to disappear off the phone, and find a place to forward texts that had to be saved.   Caught our tenants lying about why the rent was late (again), and need that for when I put them back on a lease....
Long story short is that unless we try this total reset, which isn't a sure fix, either, anyone who isn't able to access the Mobile Web with the LG Octane will have to change their plan to avoid paying for data that you can't access using any method.
I ran a test with an app that I knew was no longer valid.....that was sending photos to PixPlace.   Got the exact same error message as when trying to access Mobile Web to get the web version of my e-mail.   That just verified that the 502 error is, at least in the LG Octane, for an app that no longer works.   After today, we'll get the same thing when we try to access Mobile E-Mail.
Have to admit, it's a real ****-off, but this shouldn't surprise me, since Verizon won't repair older copper phone lines if you are in an area where FIOS is offered.
I am going to immediately change my husband's and my cell phone plan to one without data, and see what I can find that will still give unlimited calls and text. The way my luck runs, they won't offer one for a decent price. The other half has some very long-winded friends and he was always running over minutes, and some months are very text-heavy and I'd go over my limit.   Absolutely HATE touch screens, and am not looking forward to having to get a new phone.

HT3275 I continue to get the following error message: Unable to complete back up.an error occurred while creating backup folder. It's a brand new drive. When I attempt to repair it using disk utility I get:unable to repair disk cannot unmounted

I have been trying to use time machine on a new lacie 2tb usb 2 drive for back up. I continue to get: "unable to complete backup.An error occured while creating backup folder". When I use disk utility to repair I get another error message: unable to repair disk unmountable.
Help me Obie One Canobie you are my last hope

I have confused myself with the facts! Started out keeping track of every step and every variable but have sort of lost it as we progress here. First I quit all applications then swapped connections between mouse port and backup disk port to influence possible bad connections question. Changed power outlet receptacle for the backup disk. Disabled the put-the-HD-to-sleep option. Then powered down the computerator.
Next started up computerator. Turned Time Machine ON and experienced multiple successful backups! Then I started up a few applications, Mail and Text Edit (but not Safari so far). Had a few more successes. After each backup, I used Disk Utility to verify the backup disk is still OK. This because the error about unable to unmount the backup disk seems to go hand in hand with Disk Utility finding the backup disk to be bad.
Put computer to sleep for the night. Upon starting up in the morning, and before doing anything else, I did a backup disk verification... BAD! Did a restart and verified the backup disk... OK.
Did a few Sleep-bad, Restart -OK repetitions.
It seems consistent: Sleeping the computer apparently messes up the backup disk but doing a Restart "repairs" it.
=============================
Now then, I don't understand everything I know here. Methinks that maybe keeping the HD from sleeping during lulls in activity has allowed successful backups through the day but manually putting everything to sleep for the night causes a return to the problem of spinning-back-up-too-slowly (which was explained earlier). Is there any truth in this?
I may abandon this Seagate thing for something more compatible. What's out there that we know works reliably for us?

Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.
Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.
You did pretty good, you registered, and you started your first thread
Now do you feel somewhat more relaxed? Hope so.
Take a look now and see if you can find the Post# and etc that I described above.
Thanks,

I'm experiencing the same problem. Don't think I can help, but maybe I can offer an explanation. It looks as if Flickr has changed their API and Adobe will need to update the export plugin to comply to get it working again. I found this announcement on Flickr:

Since upgrading to FF 4, I have constant crashes (updating graphics drivers did not help). now all my bookmarks are gone. When I try to restore them, I get error message: "Unable to process the backup file".

Since I "upgraded" to FF 4, I have constant crashes (I tried updating my graphics drivers--it did not help) and now all of my bookmarks have disappeared. When I try to restore them, I get this error message "Unable to process the backup file". I have lost years of bookmarks...please help.
I am using Windows XP, SP 3 if that matters.

I am also unable to restore any of the backups of the bookmarks, both automatic backups and two backups that I created manually. Since I was able to restore backups before, and since no changes have occurred to these backup files, the problem must be with Firefox.
Right before my bookmarks disappeared, FF crashed and I accidentally started FF 3.5. When I saw what I did, I ended the Firefox process and started FF 4. That's when all my bookmarks were gone and I discovered I couldn't retrieve any backups. I did note that an add-on was updated when I restarted FF. Maybe that's the problem. Does FF have a Safe mode?
