Errors trying to print to previously working printer  - console sys PPD bad

Printing worked fine until today. Now even trying to do a print preview gets an error dialog and logs these errors to the console:

I'm just about to update to 10.4.9 to see if that helps - but I doubt it.
But ya never know until you try...
Interestingly, I can print from inside Windows......
MacBook Pro Intel core 2 Duo, 2.33 Ghz, 2M RAM 200G HD   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Parallels with XP Pro (ugh)

I did the update, which forced a reboot - and now it prints!
I think it had more to do with the rebooting than the update...

  • Why do I get print error trying to print pdf?

    why do I get print error trying to print pdf?

    Assuming you are having a problem printing one PDF, and not every PDF, If you have Acrobat, you can try Tools> Print Production> Preflight> PDF/X Compliance> Convert to PDF/X-1a. You can also look in your printer settings and see if you have the option to "print as image".

  • Communications Error trying to print to HP Photosmart C2780 via network

    Setting up a new HP Photosmart C2780. Using latest drivers from vendor, running software update. Computers running 10.5 will set up and print to printer OK, but computers running 10.4.11 have a different setup procedure, and won't print once it has been added as a printer.
    The HP "setup" software on 10.4.11 can't ever see the printer, but I can access the printer's web interface and use the HP utilities to print test pages fine. I can use the System Preferences Print and Fax pane to set up the printer, but here's what I get: I've tried setting it up via "More Printers" but can't see the printer under any of the options there, and adding by IP under any of the HP options won't see the printer.
    I can add it as an IP printer using the LPR protocol OK, but when I print to it, I just get a "Communications interrupted" error. The print job gets hung in the queue. Again, machines running 10.5.x can see, setup, and print to the printer OK, it's just 10.4.11 that won't work.

    It turns out the problem was that the network switches had some unicast functions, including those that allow Bonjour to work, disabled. The reason I got my 10.5 machine to work is that we had set up a simple, open switch to rule out the core network switches. We just got a little confused during the troubleshooting process and missed the fact that the HP setup software saw the printer and got a successful configuration while we had the local switch in place. The Printer Setup in the OS alone will not properly configure the printer until the HP setup software sees it and configures the installation.
    SOLUTION: Allow all unicast traffic on network switch. Run the HP Setup software and allow it to see and configure the printer. Once the setup is complete, the unicast functions can be turned back off and printing continues to work.

  • Error trying to print report to both pdf and network printer

    Hi all,
    When trying to print a report to my network printer or to pdf I get the two errors attached, one right after the other.  The resulting pdf or hard copy has almost everything in it, except for three tables which are completely missing.  When I go back into the report and open the page with the missing table, the table is no longer visible in the report and I get the second error again.  Exiting and restarting diadem brings the tables back.
    I've found several threads about pdf and other print errors and tried the solutions there to no avail; specifically the one posted here.
    I hope there is a fix to this!  These reports are intended to sell management on diadem! Thanks!

  • HP Photosmart 6510 gets a "Paper Mismatch" error trying to print on Avery return address labels

    I just bought the HP Photosmart 6510 yesterday.  I'm trying to print out return address labels to put on my daughters birthday party invitations, but the printer gives me a "Paper Mismatch" error.  This new printer replaced an HP PSC 1350 all-in-one, which printed these labels just fine.  I am using Pages on Mac OS 10.7 with the Avery 5195 template.  The labels are on standard US Letter (8.5" x 11") paper.  I'm really not sure what the problem is.
    Any help would be appreciated.  I have to get these printed out tomorrow!!!

  • I'm trying to share a new Canon printer wirelessly between my HP laptop and my iMac.  I've successfully printed from both computers, but, I get errors trying to print on one after I've printed on the other.  Any ideas on how to get them to both to print?

    I installed a new Canon printer several months ago that I was told by the salesman could be shared between my iMAC and HP laptop.  I have successfully used the printer wirelessly from both computers, however, it gets hung up switching between the two and I'm not sure what to do to get it to be consistent.  Any ideas?  

    You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

  • Data Access Error importing Large Files, which previously worked

    Hi All,
    I am trying to import files directly from the server (from inbox), these files worked earlier so I know there is nothing wrong with them. If I take 600 rows out of the file, and upload them, it imports fine, however if I attempt to import the entire file, which is 16 meg, I get the error "Data Access Error". Why could this be?
    1. It had been working for days prior, but cant anymore.
    2. A sample of the file works - pulling from the same file path.
    3. I try other files (other months) that are comparable in size, 15 meg+, and none of them work. So it is indeed a file size issue.
    what can I do to resolve it?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    A "Data Access Error" means that something happened at the database level; not at the FDM level. I would suggest you clear your error log, reproduce the error log and then look at the very first entry.
    Also, I would suggest you possibly open an SR for further review.
    Thank you,

  • Error trying to update, now nothing works

    Hi, can anyone help me?
    I was syncing my ipod Touch 3rd generation to my pc (windows 7 OS) and then both itunes (from 10.5.3 to 10.6) and the device (from IOS 1.5.0.1 to 1.5.1) went on to their own automatic software update (itunes from 10.5.3 to 10.6 and the device from IOS 1.5.0.1 to 1.5.1).
    Before finishing the update a message appeared saying that my ipod could not be updated. And now it's not working anymore, all it does is show on the screen the iTunes logo and a cable pointing to the logo (obviously saying for me to try to sync).
    I've tried everything that I can think of to fix this... restarting pc, the "so called" reseting of the ipod, changing the usb plug and using another cable. I've even tryed to install the old version of itunes. But nothing happens the pc and itunes won't recognize the device.
    It was working fine before this, I use the device everyday.
    Can anyone please help?

    Firstly delete the .ipsw file on the computer
    usually @ C:\Documents and Settings\MY_USER\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    then do a forced restore
    Make sure iphone is turned off and disconnected from your computer, hold down on the home key for 5 seconds and then insert the USB cable while still holding the home key, let go of the home button when you see the apple sign. you will probably get a message saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. then restore to factory settings.
    Hopefully this will fix it for you, let me know if it dont

  • Help with #2170 error: tried suggested solutions, still not working

    Hi,
    I have a xcelsius movie which calls a web service that is located (in the same directory) on the same server as the movie.  The web service makes a call to a remote database.  I have tried following the suggested solutions of changing the flash security settings on the web server and placing a crossdomain.xml file in wwwroot directory of the web server.  Both have not fixed the error.  Does calling a remote database have anything to do with my inability to fix this problem?  The web server is running windows server 2008 and the database server is running windows server 2003 with sql server 2000 as the database.  The movie and web service are in a virtual directory of IIS.  Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    I did some more testing and seemed to have figured out my problem.  In my movie I referenced my WSDL url using localhost.  I changed this and the error went away.

  • Creating PDF it tries to Print

    Everytime I create a PDF in either Acrobat or MS Word the document is created, I see the View version but my problem is it always tries to print to the Adobe PDF print driver and I get an error message.  How do I stop it from trying to print?

    I am using Acrobat 9 - Whenever I create a PDF instead of just creating the PDF and letting me view it - Acrobat sends it directly to my printer to try to print it.  It doesn't print but instead I get a printer error message that there is an error trying to print and I then have to go to the print properties and cancel all print documents.  This happen every time I create a PDF either from within Acrobat or within Word.  It does create the PDF and it does let me view it.  My problem is I want to stop it from automatically sending it to print.  I have not had this problem with previous version or Acrobat.
    >>> [email protected] 4/15/2009 5:28:49 PM >>>
    It is not clear what you mean. To create a PDF form either Acrobat or MS WORD, you print to the Adobe PDF printer. That is the basic process. If you use the PDF Maker (create PDF icon) in WORD, you are simply using a preprocessor for the printer. The print process should create a PDF, not print to a printer.

  • I cannot print from Websites or my college online course. Tries to save files to desktop as an .xps document but nothing happens and I get an error message that print command did not work. Have reinstalled firefox and adobe, no help. Any suggestions?

    Cannot print anything from internet using Firefox as browser. Please advise. I have to use Firefox for internet college courses, cannot print my assignments. I do not have this problem on Mac or using Internet Explorer. Only happens when using Firefox. When I select print a message comes up to save information to desktop as .xps file. Select save, sometimes it is on the desktop but I cannot open the file or it simply does not save file and get an error message that print command failed. What is happening?

    {Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

  • Trying to print a web page results in Distiller Error

    I'm trying to print the following web page to a PDF for a client

    I've tried the variuos fixes I've seen in the forums, but none have worked. This did work previously on my old install, but just recently got a new build, so this is a fresh installation of Creative Cloud with Acrobat XI.

    I just tried it using Firefox and Acrobat XI without any issues -- maybe the problem is related to the browser. Have you tried printing from a different one?

    When trying to print a document from Pages, which I have done before, my computer is showing "communication error" in the printer window.

    HI Larry,
    You have helped me before i remember with a whole iphoto NiGhtMaRe!
    As i said to leonie i have solved it by deleting all the previously saved photos and then it worked.
    After which i formatted the card as per your suggestion and everything seems okay.
    It was all overdue. Leaving that many photos on one card was stupid.
    Anyway thanks all.

  • 'Printing Error' error when trying to print in Safari

    Hello, I am running OSX Mavericks and ran into this problem tonight.  I have been using my new Macbook air for over a month and never had this problem happen at all.  Whenever I try to print something from a webpage Safari gives me the error ' Print error' and no other info.  No printing happens obviously.  I have deleted the printer and added it again, I have deleted the drivers and installed them again.  The only thing that seems to work is that if I restart the computer and try to print it will work 1 time and 1 time only.  Then I get the same print error warning.  Any ideas???  Thanks in advance!

    Linc, thanks for the help.  I have kind of figured it out...maybe.  I have never had this issue at all on any of my Macs (3).  Last night when this started to happen I was attempting to print some reviews off of Amazon (which i had never attempted before either).  So I would print one page of the review on first attempt no problem but then have to shut the computer off to be able to then print the next page of reviews.  I then tried to print off other sites and I had no problem.  I just now printed our convo above and it cabme out no problem and I can print PDF's and word documents no problem.  So it looks like maybe Amazon has something that stops you from printing their reviews maybe???  I had to save the review webpage as a PDF file and then print it, which worked.  So looks like Amazon does not want their reviews printed I guess.  Cheers for the help though!
