"Error while printing." over network

I am trying to print from a mac mini running 10.4.11 to a printer on a macbook pro running 10.5.3. The printer is using the Laserjet 4 Gutenprint driver. When I connect the printer directly to the mac mini, everything works fine. I can use the PDF export options on the print dialog just fine. When I try to print over the network "Processing..." flashes up and I immediately get "Error while printing." I have tried resetting the print queue on both machines, (turning sharing off and on) rebooting, deleting and installing the printer on either machine multiple times. I've repaired permissions on both machines and the cups error_log gives me literally no information when that message pops up. Help!?

I've also noticed that while the network printer is selected, I can't use the preview feature in the print dialogue, nor do the PDF features work. I get the same "Processing..." then "Error while printing." In addition, with the network printer selected, when I try to print from page 1 to 1 of a multipage document it tells me "Error: Invalid Page Range. The number is out of range. Resetting back to last known valid entry." it resets it to 1 to 1 and gives me the same error if I click print.

  • "Error while Printing" on ethernet network connected iMac.

    Have 2 iMacs sharing a Canon MP530, one directly connected, the other via a Linksys ethernet router. Upon a print request, the networked computer locates the MP530 and displays the standard print page, but shortly after clicking Print (or Preview) the "Error while Printing" message is displayed. Under some conditions in the past we have been able to print from the networked machine, but now we're stuck and nothing seems to fix the problem.

    Since you have 10.4.10 installed, I'm betting that you were able to print before this update was installed. Anyway, the first thing I would do is delete the printer from the 'client' (the iMac connecting to the shared printer). Open Printer Setup Utility, select the MP530 and delete it. Then click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System. This should remove the Canon MP driver files. Then run the printer driver installer again and once completed, add the printer via the Printer Setup Utility, by clicking Add > Default Browser and select the Shared Printer.
    I would also try running a Repair Disk Permissions and if that doesn't help then try using Fixamac's Printer Setup Repair utility.

  • "error while printing" when saving

    A really odd thing started happening today: when I hit Apple + S to save a document, it first pops up the save progress box, but after a few seconds a 2nd box appears with a mesage saying "Print. error while printing."
    I'm just trying to save, not to print. Any ideas what's going on?

    on the wife's g4 powerbook, added a network-shared printer, attempts to print to it result in:
    PMSessionValidatePrintSettings failed (error code = -50)
    Invalid PMPrintSettings in print info
    this same n-s-p works fine on my g4 powerbook, also 10.4.11...
    and i haven't been able to print to this printer from my core duo minimac running 10.6.2:

  • "Error while printing" when sharing printer under 10.6

    This just started yesterday. When attempting to print from either of two other computers (both 10.4.11) to a printer (HP LJ 1160) connected via USB to a MacBook Pro (10.6.2), the print fails with the cryptic error message: "Error while printing."
    I have searched these help forums and have tried repairing permissions on all computers. I have also verified that the /tmp symbolic link is in place on all computers.
    I have also tried resetting the print systems on all computers. I am able to add the shared printer on the client computers, but when attempting to print to the selected shared printer I still get the error.
    The Console on the client computer generates the following items in the log:
    2010-01-18 08:59:49.452 TextEdit[423] PMSessionValidatePrintSettings failed (error code = -50)
    2010-01-18 08:59:50.812 TextEdit[423] Invalid PMPrintSettings in print info
    Any ideas?

  • Save to PDF in TextEdit - Error While Printing

    When I try to save a text file to PDF I receive the error message - "Error while printing".  This only seems to be happening to text files I open or create in TextEdit.  It works fine if I log in as a different user.  I've run repair permissions and also deleted a couple of com.apple.print plist files in my user library, but the error remains.
    Is there anything else I should try short of reinstalling TextEdit?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    On OS X 10.8.2, with TextEdit, I can open or create text documents and export to PDF without any issue.
    Here are the two preference tabs and settings that work for me. You can single click on the images for a larger version.

    PDF documents on OS X are created with binary content, which is the junk you observe.

  • "Printing: Error while printing" when I tries to Save - How?

    Since recently, whenever I tried to save a Pages document, Pages freezes for a few minutes, then show me a system message that says "Printing: Error while printing". I did not ask Pages to print anything! Please advice. Thank you very much.

    You have not provided exact system info, no details about your documents, your save locations nor even told us what version of PS, so nobody can even begin to guess.

  • Error while printing (while saving?)

    Whenever I try to save my book I always get the error:
    Print
    Error while printing.
    However, I'm not trying to print, I'm trying to SAVE.  From what I can tell the file is saving just fine, however I hope that there is nothing actually wrong with the file for when I go to hit "publish"
    Anybody else run into this and solve it?  Should I worry?

    Maybe there is an extension or OS widget that's acting up...
    'save' is for an .iba file - 'publish' is for an .ibooks file. I don't think you'll have issues, but you'll know when you try

  • Error while printing message

    Hi
    I'm hoping someone can help me I have a Macbook and have been using a HP Deskjet D5560 printer with it since i bought it and now it will not let me print each time i go to print it says error while printing. I have gone into some settings and had a little look but can't seem to fix the problem. Has anyone got any ideas? I am very basic with computers with things like this so please keep it simple if possible!
    Thanks
    Anna

    You may have a file permissions error or some other corruption.
    Try these one at a time (restart and try adding after each) -
    Reset Printing System - a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility.
    Download the 10.4.10 COMBO updater and re-update with that.
    Try the free trial of Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.

  • Error While Printing II

    Just wanted to supply a fix to a previously archived post concerning an error message while trying to print from any application and receiving the message "Error While Printing."
    I fixed this issue by rebooting into safe mode (without extensions - hold down shift while starting up) and fixed permissions in the Disk Utility.
    Hope this helps others with the same issue!
    J.

    Check that table j_1iewt_cert_n and j_1iewt_certno are filled up.
    If maintained, then it should work.
    If not working then check the putting the breakpoint in the program J_1IEWT_CERT_F01 on statement "SELECT SINGLE * FROM j_1iewt_cert_n" and see where it is failing. It is easy to debug this error message.

  • Error while printing - one solution.

    Folks, I just ran into the "error while printing" priblem this morning and read many of the posts. Some even did a complete OS reinstall.
    Anyhow, all I did was repair disk permissions on my machine and it solved the problem.

    Unfortunately, this didn't work for me, so it doesn't seem to be a universal solution.

  • "Error while printing" What means; what to do??

    After I set up to print, and click Print, screen shows 'barber pole', but also "Error while printing" and that's it---no further action.
    What does the message mean; what do I do to overcome this problem?
    Please help : )
    BTW, HP site not helpful on this.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi
    Generally with printer problems, there are a few
    things you can do first.
    1. Download the latest printer driver and install
    it.
    This is available here:
    Dri
    ver for HP Deskjet D2300
    2. In Printer Setup utility, delete your printer.
    Disconnect your Printer then reconnect it, switch it
    on.
    In Printer Setup utility, choose Add printer
    3. After that, open Disk Utilities, found in
    Applications/Utilities, and run Repair
    Permissions.
    See how all that goes.
    regards roam
    ROAM -
    Problem seemed to have disappeared, but tonight it came up again. (On SAFARI)
    So, I went to your suggestion & tried it.
    At Repair Permissions, got the message
    "First aid failed" - "no package available"
    Problem keeps recurring!
    Nu?
    Regards

  • "Error while printing" error in Address Book

    When I attempt to print a list of address book contacts in Address Book.app (both as a PDF or to a printer), I receive an error message simply stating "Error while printing." I've repaired my permissions and tried deleting the preferences for Address Book. How can I fix this and print out the list?

    After discovering that my problem was more general (affecting the whole system, and not just Address Book), I looked in the Printer forum here in the discussions and referred to this one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1264657&#1264657
    I attempted to do as one user suggested and replace the 'libConverter.dylib' file. It did not work, and I returned the original 'libConverter.dylib' file to its folder. Magically, printing works now. Seems like it just needed to reset itself.

  • "Error while printing" in non-Admin user

    I have a non-admin account (for my wife) in my iMac G5, and from some days ago, all applications refuse to print. A msg telling "Error while printing" appears, and the application trying to print crash in some sort of way.
    I can print the test page from the Printer Utility, so the printer (a Canon MP130) is fine.
    Entering with my Admin account, i have no problem printing.
    I check some help in Apple support, and as there is stated, i repaired permissions on both accounts.
    And the problem doesn't solve. Still, ALL applications gives this message.
    I'm not very tech in this, but i just note that the msg appears while the doc info is "going" to the printer, after i accept "Print" (spooling??)
    Does anyone knows what i can do to correct this?

    I never solved this...and still having troubles to print from the other user
