Fuji Xerox printer working, then not! print status 'stopped'

I hope someone can help me...
-Had real difficulty getting printer to work. Finally installed drivers from set up disc and all was fine
-2 months working without an issue til today. when trying to print 'stopped' was the status of all jobs
-removed driver, rebooted computer, tried to print, printer was recognized and driver selected automatically, and same thing happened.
-tried forcing the print with ' hold' 'resume' 'pause' and so on to no avail
-removed driver, re-loaded drivers from setup disc and rebooted computer
-tried manually selecting driver from system preferences and printing... same result. I did notice once when I tried hitting 'hold' and then 'resume' that a little message flashed up for a moment next to the picture of the printer under where it says 'Printer Ready' something about opening raster file failed or some such?
I've looked at several postings here and tried many of the suggestions such as disconnecting everything and rebooting etc, but I'm stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Found my own fix for this problem after much web surfing.
If anyone else has the same problem with this printer, this posting is fantastic.

  • Cant print document after lion installation with my fuji xerox printer

    i cant print after lion installation with my fuji xerox c1110b printer, even after i remove and reinstall the driver.
    in the print window  under status indicate error,
    for other program even the print button is not working,  need help
    thanks

    As a temporary fix until the new driver, you can still use Generic PCL Laser printer selection to print black and white on Fuji Xerox C1110B.  When adding the new driver, select Options & Supplies.  When the new window rolss down, click on the middle Driver button.  Then select Generic PCL Printer, and OK.
    Maybe there is another substitute driver we can use to print in color as well until Fuji Xerox gets its act together?

  • Fuji xerox printer wont install

    I have a new iMac, and I want to install my current office printer onto it, but it doesnt work. i downloaded the for the fuji xerox docuprint c525A from the website, and installed, although in the dialog box it only said upgrade. It doesnt show up in my "Printers" folder in the "Library", and although i have gone through the add IP printer menu, i still get the dialogue box saying that the printer address is busy, trying again in 30 seconds. Problem is, it doesnt try again, or it gets the same answer, I dont know. the same box stays there. the printer is on my office network, connected through a network hub. Anyone have any ideas?

    Looking at the Xerox web site, it seems that there is really only a ppd for this old beast. So the file will most likely end up in the PPDs section of the printer library.

    This message can be the result of selecting the wrong type of connection during the installation or an incorrect queue name. Check what the other computers in you office have configured for this printer (if they are Windows, go to Properties > Ports > Configure Port).
    The error can also be the result of incorrect network addressing. Make sure your iMac is on the same subnet as the printer.

  • Shared printing on 10.3.9 iMac from MBP with 10.5.5 (worked then not!)

    Panther 10.3.9 on iMac (Host with HP PS C3180 for shared printer attached via USB) - Leopard 10.5.5 cannot find the shared printer after it was already working for 3 weeks. Shared printer in Leopard disappeared. When attempting to reinstall the shared printer on the MacBook with Leopard it cannot find the shared printer. (At ALL). Have, reset printers (in Leopard), executed Article: HT2275, turned off firewall, on both machines and wireless router, reset both computers and router. Have 4 hours into finding the solution without success. iMac sees the printer when attached to MacBook but cannot print to it. PowerBook will not see the shared printer on the iMac and of course the shared printer function is enabled on the iMac. Any ideas? Jobs hire some of Gates old windows programmers to do Leopard print sharing? HELP!

    Hi there,
    It is unusual that you still cannot see the 10.3.9 shared printer after changing to the cups browsing protocol (as per HT2275). Is there any chance that you run the Reset printing system after making this change, as this will reset the browsing protocol to Bonjour.
    I would also check that the MacBook Pro can see the iMac. If you look at the Shared section of the Finder sidebar on 10.5, does the iMac appear in this view?

  • Keyboard not working, then working, then not working again...

    I am trying to post this quickly because my keyboard will probably stop working soon... My keyboard keeps provoking no response whatsoever. When this happens all my keys, including the volume controls etc. just stop working. Then, soon after, they start working again... I will try to take it to a service center soon, but as it is new years day I can't, so I was wondering if anyone knew the reason for this problem.
    Thanks

    Same issue with a wired aluminum keyboard. Using it with a 20" Intel iMac. I've also plugged it into a G5 20" iMac with no success. Worked for a few minutes but now not at all.

  • CS4 : unable to print / stops printer / halts print job on Fuji Xerox c2255

    Morning,
    This discussion posting may or may not have some relevance to my previous posting, CS4 : memory leak errors (?) in Os X console log
    I am working on a clients workstation and they are having a few problems. Specific hardware and software details are at the bottom of this posting.
    THE PROBLEM
    The problem is that I can not seem to print from CS4. The problem seems to be specifically Adobe CS4 related as I will explain below.
    From the end user perspective, the CS4 suite appears to function normally with one exception - CS4 will not print. In the below example, I am referring to mainly Adobe Acrobat CS4 and InDesign CS4 as these are the programs that they use the most. The artist can still work with all the CS4 applications - opening new or existing indesign/acrobat documents, adding text, import, export, create pdfs, saving to same name or new name, etc... but they can't print out to a printer (Fuji Xerox c2255). For example, using InDesign, the artist can open an existing Indesign document and make changes to the Indesign document. She can save the document using the same name or a new name, but when she attempts to print the Indesign document, the document will not printed. If she saves the file as a pdf and using Acrobat to open the pdf and attempts to print the document, it will not print. BUT, if she uses preview to open the document and attempts to print, then it WILL print.
    When attempting to print, the following happens,
    - in acrobat CS4 or Indesign CS4, choose 'Print'
    - choose A4 or A3 format
    - click print
    The job processes and is set to the printer spool as per normal. About a couple of second later, after the processing is done, the Printer Queue starts jumping up and down in the dock. Open up the printer queue, shows the following message 'Printer has stopped'. The job is present in the printer queue list. Restart the Printer, and restart the job, and then about 5 seconds later, the message appears again, 'Printer has stopped'. This continues ad nauseum until the job is manually deleted from the queue. No print outs.
    PRINTER or PRINTER DRIVER
    I have installed and uninstalled the printer driver half a dozen times. I have source the driver from different locations (US, Asia and Australia). In all three cases,the Fuji Xerox printer drivers look identical (I've opened them up in text edit). Every other application, on the Mac, appears to access the printer without any problems -Office 2008 ( Word, Excel), Preview, Text Edit, Text Wrangler, Mail, etc can all address the printer and print to the printer without any problems. Using any of these programmes, I can access all the functionality of the printer (A4 in Tray 1, A3 in Tray 2, Levels of the inks, etc) via the driver. When I installed the generic printer drive, I have no access to any of the Fuji Xerox Printer functionality. This leads me to think that the Fuji Xerox printer driver is not the problem.
    Interestingly, using Apple's Preview, I can print any existing Acrobat documents without any problems - in either A4 or A3. However, if I attempt to print the SAME Acrobat document from Acrobat CS4, it will not print.
    USE 'PRINTER DRIVER' option rather then choosing paper size.
    I read in another posting, in the Adobe forum, of a similar problem with Duplex printing - if the the paper size is manually set (A3/A4) in the 'print document options', printers do not print duplex. The answer seemed to be instead of manually choosing the paper size (A4/A3), allow CS4 to determine the paper size. So, in the 'print document' dialog option, one should choose 'use printer driver' instead of specifying A3 or A4. An explanation suggested that the print engine refers to the printer driver to find out what options are availible and then CS4 chooses what size it wants to send the print job to. Forcing CS4 seems to stop duplex printing from working.
    I will look at this suggestion next week when I return to the site.
    NETWORK PRINTER
    The fuji Xerox c2255 is a network printer. Both Mac Pro and printer have a fixed IPs. I have eliminated the network as a problem, by running a network cable directly from Mac Pro ethernet port to Fuji Xerox ethernet port. I can ping the printer directly from the Mac Pro; I can see the printer from the Mac. I can print directly to the printer from the Mac, using Text edit or any other application EXCEPT CS4. CS4 will not print.
    CLIENT HAS UPDATED ALL DOCUMENT FILES TO CS4 via INX
    I have since been informed that a staff member had (recently) updated all the documents to CS4 via INX. I wonder if this anything to do with the problems ? Unfortunately, I don't have any 'old' documents to test with. I wonder if the conversion process had 'modified' the pdf wrapper in some way ? I have tested this in the following manner - I opened a 'updated' CS4 document in Indesign CS4. If I try to print straight out of CS4, then the above problem occurs (i.e. the document will not print as descibed above). BUT, if I copy all the contents - from the updated CS4 document - and paste the contents directly into a NEWLY created document, then it WILL print.
    UNINSTALL CS4 AND REINSTALL
    Yes, this has been done three times so far with no further improvement. Each time, the steps that I have taken are as follows,
    - repaired disk permissions.
    - fsck in single user mode to confirm directory structure is fine
    - uninstalled CS4 using the uninstaller.
    - manually searched and remove any file, folder, cache that has the word 'adobe' in it from both User account, System Library and Library.
    - used Onyx manual and automatic functions to clear all logs, font caches, spotlight databases, kernal caches, etc, etc
    - ZapRAM Cmmd-Option-P-R (wait for start up chime 3 times)
    - fsck again
    - start Mac in Safe mode
    - reinstalled CS4 from media (see version above)
    - Following reinstallation, restarted mac as per normal.
    - run Disk Utility to repair permissions
    I have tried printing an existing CS4 document file with a freshly installed CS4 suite - directly from the media file (will not print). And I have attempted to print a CS4 document file after applying all updates (will not print) Neither approach improves the situation.
    USE CS3
    This has been considered but as the client(s) have already done the conversion of all their documents to the CS4 format using INX, then they are really committed to working with CS4. What I am attempting to do at this time is to find out WHY CS4 is doing what it is doing, and if there is a fix to this problem. If there is no fix, then I know I should use a different approach.
    I am posting this message in the hope that someone may have already come across this problem or perhaps may be able to spot something that I have overlooked. This problem has really got me stumped - I have had experience with Adobes products since Photoshop 1.0 (1990s / Pre-CS1) but never had a problem as annoying or time consuming as this one - this is a dousy.  I have lodged a case number with Adobe Technical Support.
    Thank you for taking the time to read this longish posting. I would be most grateful for any feedback solutions, or suggestions.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
    Thank you,

  • Print quality problems on Fuji Xerox printers when printing from ArchiCAD and/or Preview.

    Hello,
    We experience major print quality problems when printing directly from Graphisoft's ArchiCAD, Nemetscheks Vectorworks and from Apple's Preview.
    Basically we see various artefacts on our printed drawings, e.g. line thicknesses change and hatched patterns / fills are reproduced with patches where the lineweights and clours change completely... which is not acceptable.
    This affects the following Fuji Xerox printer models on both 10.6.x and 10.7.x with the latest FJX PPDs:
    ApeosPort C5540I
    Xerox LF6605 MF
    The workarounds for us are to either print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Reader or via the rather dated Accxess Tools, besides that we prefer at times to print directly from a given Software it is also not always possible to generate a PDF and print it from Acrobat Reader... especially since the latest Adobe Reader update to its print dialogue makes printing from it extremely tedious - in fact we are considering going back to 9.5.2
    Obviously, we have approached FJX Tech Support and are awaiting a reply - however we are disappointed that this is happening on relatively new equipment and wonder if anybody else has already found a solution.

    The symptoms you mention could be related to the FJX engine and Acrobat is masking this fault. To test, you can create a Postscript file from the print dialog of ArchiCAD or VectorWorks and then download this to the Apeos RIP. If this produces the same result as when using the printer driver from the applications, then it would indicate that the engine is not capable of handling the data being sent to it from these applications.

  • Is anyone having problems with the new Xerox printer driver update from Apple? My 8700S is no longer working with QuarkXPress.

    I allowed a System Update that included a Xerox Printer update. I am running a MacPro 10.6.8 with Quark 8.5.1 and a Xerox ColorQube 8700S.  EVERY was working perfectly before the "update" but afterwards anything sent to the printer from Quark would stall the printer.  I went to the Xerox website and downloaded their Printer Driver and tried again.  Now I could print from  Quark but I can NOT get to the printer window to change the type of paper, etc.  So, the problem still persists.
    Should I try going into Time Machine and trying to find the Xerox Print Driver in the Library folder?
    Should I upgrade the whole system software?  (I wouldn't mind doing that AFTER I get this magazine off to the commerical printer)
    Should I upgrade to Quark 9?
    Any help here would be apprciated.
    Thanks  - Rob

    As a general rule of thumb, I never install updates until I read its info and I am having problems with my current software.  I hide the updates until I need them.  Usually this happens when I update or upgrade my os.  I don't fix what ain't broken is my golden rule.
    It is possible that you need to update or upgrade Quark in order for your newer printer driver to work.  First I would try the following....
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
    Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
    If your printer does not work afterwards, update or upgrade Quark.  If that does not work, contact the printer manufacturer.

  • Fuji xerox scanning still not working under 10.9.1 mavericks

    Mac OS releases up until 10.8.x have allowed me to scan documents to my MacBook Pro from my (USB connected) Fuji-Xerox Docuprint M205b. Since updating to 10.9 and now 10.9.1, the scanner is not recognised. Printing works fine. (My last driver update file was FujiXeroxPrinterDrivers2.5.dmg).

  • Printer status is not available at this time

    Hello,
    I'll try to show how the company's environment is. We have a Windows Server 2008 Standard
    edition which is our File server and Print Management as well. We have a total of 5 deployed
    printers and all of them except 2 work really well. These 2 printers are exactly the same
    "Phaser 8560 Xerox". All drivers are placed on the Server, so all computers download the
    drivers whenever They need it for a specific printer. Example: a new employe wants to
    print something on the Phaser 8560 printer but his/her computer doesnt have any drivers
    installed. The installation is easy: Start>Settings>Printers>Add Printer>Network Printer option>Find a printer in the directory>Look for Phaser and add it. When I choose the printer and press ok it takes like 20 seconds to get the driver from the server and its all done.
    Here is the problem:
    Whenever I try printing something on the Phasers It does print but a message:"Printer status is not available at this time" pops up right away. The process of printing works but the message keeps coming up. We have almost 150 computers and all of them show the same message. We have the latest drivers in the Server.
    With the old driver this message didnt use to show up, so I guess the problem is the driver.

     
    Hi,
    Thank you for your update.
    As far as I know, PrintingScout is feature of Phaser 8560 printer. It alerts you when print jobs are interrupted and suggests appropriate remedies. When you send a document to the Phaser 8560, the Xerox-exclusive PrintingScout utility monitors and reports any printer condition that might prevent a print job from completing successfully. A pop-up help window provides appropriate how-to instructions, illustrations and links to help the print job owner quickly identify and resolve his or her printing problem. This way, when end users must visit the printer, they are completely prepared to fix any problems. Since you don’t find the PrintingScout button, I suspect that you should uninstall the print driver and update the proper driver from the following link.

  • Xerox Phaser 7800 Printer Status issue

    I have a Xerox Phaser 7800 printer printing to a Windows 2008 Server R2 print server. While printing to the server the Xerox printer setup will continue to insert print jobs into the queue that say "Printer Status".  The "Printer Status", print jobs can be deleted without effecting the final printing. They will also timeout if you just leave them in the queue. From what we can tell, these "Printer Status" jobs are asking for status info before sending the print job (is paper loaded, toner leverls OK, etc...) Why they need this info... I don't know. When the Xerox printer setup is printing directly to the printer, the printer responds approperiatley and everything is fine.
    Since we operate in a public printing environement (University) we need to be able to control access to the printer via a printer server.
    Xerox's official stance on this is that they do not support printing from Mac OS X to a Windows print server. It is an unsupported configuration. This seems to be a commone stance for printier manufactures. We have a Ricoh printer with similar issues.
    On the Ricoh printer we were able to locate the section of the PPD code that makes the similar request of printer status and comment out those lines so the request is no longer sent.  I'm having a little more trouble with the Xerox PPD in locating the lines of code to comment out.
    If anyone has experience editing PPDs you help would be greatly appreciated!
    If anyone has influence at Xerox, help them understand their mistake and to at the very least change the PPD to allow the "Printer Status" requests to be suppressed as part of the printer setup.

  • "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?
