Get passed Printer Paused

Set up: Epson Stylus Color 3000 with Network Interface Card (NIC) in 10.5 Leopard. It prints ok from 10.4 and another computer on 10.4 but the 1.7a driver doesn't work in 10.4 and hasn't been updated since 2003.
When trying to print it buffers data through then goes to Printer Paused. If I watch close I can see
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp failed
Even updating to the 5.1.4 Gutenprint driver gutenprint-5.1.4-UB.dmg still left me with a paused printer
This backdoor process gets it printing but the queue has to be cleared manually.
Go to the address of the Epson SC 3000 printer in Safari
http://192.168.123.115/
Under the information heading on the left click on IPP
Copy the line next to IPP URL
http://192.168.123.115:631/EPSONIPPPrinter
Back in Safari, go to http://localhost:631/ which magically opens the back door. [I have NO idea how you're supposed to find THIS on your own!]
Either click on the "Add Printer" button below the Welcome! banner or click the Administration tab and under the Printers heading click on "Add Printer"
Name: SC3000 [no spaces alllowed] This is the queue and how it will be listed under the printer tab in CUPS
Location: Study
Description: Epson (This shows up in Print & Fax as the printer name)
Click Continue, wait 7 seconds
From the Device: popup menu choose Internet Printing Protocol (http) or (ipp)
Click Continue
Paste into Device URl: (write over the "http" already there) the address you copied from above
http://192.168.123.115:631/EPSONIPPPrinter
Click Continue
From the Make: popup choose Epson
Click Continue
Scroll down the Model: listing (about 2/3) and choose
Epson Stylus Color 3000 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.1.4 (en)
Click Add Printer
In Preferences:Printe & Fax uncheck Share this printer (it's a network printer)
CUPS doesn't remove jobs from the queue. You have to delete them manually before the next job can go through.

Try deleting the printer, deleting the job queue and reinstalling the printer again.

  • Solution for "Printer Paused"

    Like many others, I've been getting a "Printer Paused" error sometimes when I print to my Xerox/Tektronix printer (a Phaser 6128). I would see a "Broken Pipe" error in CUPS. I found a solution and thought I'd share:
    A link to the blog posting is here: http://blog.koehn.com/2011/01/fix-for-mac-os-x-printer-paused-issue.html
    The short version is that I connected to my Printer's http server, went to Properties->Port 9100, and updated the Connection Time-Out to 120 seconds, which seems to give CUPS enough time to rasterize the document before the printer times out and closes the TCP connection.
    I can now print with the standard Xerox driver without any issues.
    Hope this helps!

    If HP Premium photo paper is selected the printer will print black using the color cartridges since pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper.  The printer will print much more slowly in photo mode and will put more ink than is intended on the page.
    If black is not printing when you print a nozzle pattern from the printer then likely there is an issue with the printhead or the ink delivery system between the ink supplies and the printhead.

  • Printer Paused Errors all of the sudden

    I network to a printer both at home and at work and have had no problems whatsoever until today -- and now I have problems with both. The method of connecting is completely different: at work I connect to the network via an ethernet cable, as does the printer (i.e. it is a true network printer). At home, the printer is connected to an old eMac which shares its connection over the WiFi network. Oh yes, two utterly different printers - A Dell 5200 at work and an old Epson Stylus CX3200 at home.
    My problem is that the printer immediately pauses when a print job is set. If I restart the printer and the job, I get a client-error-not-possible message. I try again and I get an error message from CUPS: usr/libexec/cups/backend/mdns failed
    I have reset the printing system multiple times and tried to add the (home) printer again (via bonjour) but get the same error results. I will try tomorrow at work but am expecting the same frustrations.
    My wife can still print fine at home from her old iBook on 10.4.11 over the network.
    Why would I have problems all of the sudden like this? The only thing I changed is, like an obedient little monkey, I installed the newest Security Update that Software Update told me to install. Could this have screwed something up? Any help would be much appreciated, this is very frustrating.

    Well, I've figured out a provisional work around, at least at home (will try the office printer in a bit). If, instead of connecting via bonjour as I did until yesterday, I connect via Line Printer Daemon and type in the afp of the desktop to which the printer is connected, it does work. But I have to choose "Generic Postscript Printer" under driver -- I am guessing that this is because the Power PPC (running 10.4) to which the printer is connected does not recognize the Gutenprint driver for the Stylus CX3200 which would be the natural choice from my MacBook. (If I select this driver and print, my computer thinks the printing has been successful, but nothing actually prints.)
    By contrast, on Bonjour, it automatically selects the older, PPC driver that is already installed on the desktop computer connected to the printer. But this driver is apparently not an option from my MacBook using 10.5.6 when using LPD.
    At any rate, this seems to work for now, but I still suspect that the Software Updates I installed yesterday screwed up the way in which my computer communicates with other devices on a local network: I have also had intermittent "connection failures" when I try to connect to a shared device via its icon on the sidebar in Finder.
    I would still be very grateful for any thoughts on why I was getting the "Printer Paused" error (and, of course, I still don't know for certain that I'm going to be able to figure out a similar work around for my office network printer).

  • HP 5400 Continuall Get Printer Paused Message

    Here's my printing dialogues:
    1. Copying Print Data - Which takes a very long time.
    2. Page 1 63% complete - Or sometimes 72%, etc.
    3. Printer Paused.
    I've deleted the print que, restarted my computer (MacBook Pro), and the printer, still get the same results. My wife is using Leopard, and printing is fine.
    Any suggestions how to resolve the Printer Paused issue would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try deleting the HP preference file.
    The wording might be similar to this
    com.hp.plist or
    com.hp(model name5400.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • Error in passing print parameters

    Hi,
    I am submitting a report in background and using FM Get_print_parameters to get and pass print parameters to the dialog box appears while submitting that report.
    My problem is that i am passing printing device 'lab1' to dialog box through function module get_print_parameters but '$lab1' appears in the dialog box and hence due to invalid device spool request is not getting generated.I am running program in background so can't remove 
    '$' from the device name.
    Kindly advice me what can be done to solve this problem...
    Regards..
    Edited by: shekhar kumar on Nov 1, 2008 6:20 AM

    Generally the $ sign comes when the output device does not exist. Just check in SPAD tcode whether the output device lab1 is present or not? If it is not then create or use the some other output device. But if it is there and then also you are getting the error then dbl click on the output device and try to pass the short text of the output device instead of lab1.

  • Accounting Entry getting passed in case of Make to Order Scenario

    Hi Experts,
    In Make to Order scenario, as per my knowledge, when the goods is recieved from Production Order the Accounting entry gets passed is Inventory A/c Debit and Cost of Goods Produced Credit.
    But how is Cost of Goods Produced, which is  an expense, gets crebited? I am confused, because the above entry will create a credit balance to an expense account. Can anybody clarify this please?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sameer Joshi

    Thanks for the reply.
    Do you mean that at the time of PGI, when the entry is posted to COGS, the amount of COP will also get transferred to COGS and then the whole amount will be posted at PGI?

  • My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?

    My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.

    I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6.  I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes.  All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
    Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

  • Filters not getting passed in MDX query while using SAP BW with OBIEE

    Hello,
    I've been working on OBIEE with SAP BW as back-end. I've created some reports & those are working fine when there is less amount of data. But when I try to run a report with 3 dimensions & 1 fact it throws an error saying "No more storage space available for extending an internal table". When I checked MDX query, I found that the filters that I had applied to request & also selected from prompts are not getting passed in that query. So, I tried running a simple request using a simple filter in Answers. Although this request returns results but I can't see filter conditions in query. MDX query always show crossjoin but I can't see filter conditions anywhere.
    Is it the normal OBIEE behaviour OR am I doing something wrong in there? Can you please help me out with this?
    Thanks,

    Hello Sainath,
    We tried those things. But it is still giving same error.
    State: HY00. Code: 10058. [NQODBC][SQL_STATE:HY000][nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. XML/A error returned from the server: Fault code: "XMLAnalysisError.0X80000005". Fault string: "The XML for Analysis provider encountered an error: MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million)". (HY000)
    The problem here, I think, is the filter parameters are not getting passed in the MDX query. Any idea why would that happen? Is there any setting to do so?
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • I used the wrong password for my belkin wifi. Now that I know the correct password I can not get pass the unable to connect or join message. I have turned off all the options such as wifi and join and also put my touch to sleep.. but nothing seems to work

    I used the wrong password to join my new belkin wifi. Now that I have the correct password, I can not get the to the join screen with the space to type in the password. I continue to get the unable to join message.  I have put the touch to sleep and I have turned on and off the wifi and join options on the Network screen page.  Does anyone know how to get pass this block of the wrong password to a new page that will allow me to type in the correct password.  I see there is a option that asks if I want to reset the network settings.. is that what I should do? and what does it erase when I do that?  Thanks for any input anyone has.

    Yes.  Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

  • How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen?

    How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen? My HP Office Jet Pro L7680 printer tends to print my images with a bias towards red compared to the image I am seeing on screen with Lightroom 5 using a Mac with Retina 5 screen. Would appreciate any expertise on how to calibrate the printer to the screen

    You have two options. The first method costs nothing but is not as accurate and the second means buying hardware and investing some time. The fastest way to get things closer is to download the color profile from the printer manufactures site for the printer and paper combination you are using. Install it on you Mac and relaunch LR. This is best when the paper and printer are both from the same company; in your case, HP. If the paper is not made by HP, you can often find profiles for your paper/printer by going to the paper maker's web site and doing a search for the appropriate profile.
    The other alternative is to purchase a piece of hardware such as the ColorMonki which can be used to not only profile your monitor for color balance but also you printer/paper as well as your camera. When all of your devices agree on what color 118,118,118 means, you get the same color from capture to print but this is also an expensive option and there is a lot of time involved in building your own color profiles. The results however, are much more accurate.
    Once you have a color profile installed, the next step involves doing soft proofing. Once you have your image looking the way you want it to in LR, open it in the soft proof option. This will show you how your print will look using the color profile for the paper/printer you are using. During the process, you will be shown the print on your screen which may look off. Use the small triangle in the upper-right corner of the histogram to turn on the out-of-gamut warning. This will highlight any parts of your image which contain colors your printer can't handle. Use the rendering intent options to decide how you want these colors handled (relative or perceptual). Check them both and use the one you like best. You can also make additional changes at this point if required before you generate the JPG image. Make sure to save it as a max quality JPG using the sRGP profile. Once saved, you can send this image to your printer or even to a lab as the process is the same.The attached link should get you to a video showing how to use the ColorMunki hardware/software but, more importantly, shows you how to prepare an image for printing (in this case, for a lab) using soft proofing with the color profile created (or downloaded).--Great Color from Your Lab Prints – Every Time! on Vimeo
