Has 5x7" printing gone in 2.1.4 and Snow Leopard?

I might be going crazy but I printed something on 5"x7" paper last week, and now, after upgrading to Snow Leopard and 2.1.4 the 5"x7" paper size seems to have disappeared from the print dialogue box. I haven't reinstalled my printer driver (HP C8180). Would that make a difference?
Thanks

Lots of printer models are currently only supported by a Gutenprint driver, and it may be that this driver does not offer 5x7. To check the driver being used, open System Preferences/Print & Fax, highlight the printer, and you should see the current driver info. Also, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
One of my two Epson printers is supported by an Epson driver, and has all its functions, but the other only by a Gutenprint driver does not offer all its features -- and it is the newest, best featured.

Wireless print server DPR-1260/Canon i9900 and Snow Leopard 10.6.1

Hello,
I have recently got my Mac Book Pro and have the latest system (10.6.1) and cannot print with a wireless print server. I have a Dlink DPR-1260, and a Canon i9900 printer. I have done everything and I still cannot print. Please I need help!!!!

Hello Susan and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately the Canon Mac drivers have never worked correctly with the wireless print servers. I tested a Dlink model some years ago and while the Windows drivers for the same model would work fine, the Mac driver would always fail.
The only solution was to use the Gutenprint driver suite for Mac OS X. This software provided drivers for many brands of printers including Canon, and got our A3 inkjet working - albeit it wasn't always available as it seemed to never wake from sleep mode.
Checking the Gutenprint drivers included with 10.6, which are added when you do a custom install or by running the Optional Installer package within the 10.6 DVD, the i9900 is not listed as a supported model. It appears that only the Canon version of the i9900 driver is included with 10.6.
So, you have some decisions to make...
1. Don't use wireless and just have the i9900 plugged in directly to the Mac via USB
2. Replace the Dlink with an Airport Express. Due to the way in which Apple has made their Airport units, they will let you use the Canon driver.
3. Keep the Dlink and purchase an alternate driver software package called Printfab. If you are printing mostly graphics on the i9900 then this driver suite can provide you with more colour control than the Canon driver. And it will work with the Dlink like the Gutenprint drivers do.
Hope this helps

Problems printing with HP laser jet 5M and Snow Leopard

Hello,
Since In installed Snow Leopard on my mac I can no longer print with my HP laser jet 5M.
I know this is because Appletalk is no longer supported, and that I should use the laser jet as IP printer. However, I couldn't figure out how to assign an IP address to the printer. It seems I can't do this by the config menus of the printer. I read somwhere it is possible to do this by terminal (telnet) but I am not familiar with unix.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
many thanks
Marcello

Envy 4500 has stopped printing off both a Macbook Air and a Pro - was fine before

I've been very happy with my printer/scanner but today it has stopped printing off both my Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. The printer seems fine so not sure why this has happened. Please help!

Hi @Swaggie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Envy 4500 is not printing from your Macbook Air and your Macbook Pro. I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following information:
The version number of the Mac Operating Systems. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies. Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If there are any error messages on the printer's display panel.
In the meantime, please take a look through this guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Mac OS X, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you soon!

My AppleWorks spread sheet has started crashing. I upgraded AppleWorks from 6 to 6.2.9, but it still crashes when I try to save changes or print. I run 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

Did you apply the security update to this Mac & not the others? If you did, check Software Update again. Apple has released an updated security update. This has fixed the problems caused by the first version.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

Hi, after a little more looking, I think your response might lead me to a solution. It looks like the Snow Leopard install package is on my MacBook Pro hard drive but apparently something isn't right because I'm still running 10.5. I found something called 10.6 Install Package or something like that and clicked on it. It asked me where I wanted to install it and I said on the MacBook Pro hard drive in a new folder called Snow Leopard. It told me the installation was successful. I then restarted the computer but it is still using 10.5. Any suggestions on what to do now?

HT201364 is there any way to update to OS X from a non-aluminum Macbook from 2008 that has the 2 gb of memory and snow leopard installed, with 8 gb of free space?

The Early 2008 MacBook can only go up to Lion...the compatibility requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are the same http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ which says Late 2008 MacBook.

Can't print from Mail, TextEdit, or Preview in Snow Leopard

Installed Snow Leopard on a new Mac Mini with a newly formatted drive. Successfully set up network HP printers using IP Printing option. Able to print to these printer from all installed applications EXCEPT TextEdit, Preview, and Mail. Print dialog never displays at all after selecting "print" in Mail. Print dialog window does display for TexEdit and Preview but clicking "print" in the dialog window all the options blank out and can't cancel or close the print dialog window without quitting app.
However, when we take this same mini to a different physical location on a different network, printing works normally in all apps. We are guessing that Appletalk has something to do with this. The problem network uses a Cisco 3600 router. We disabled Appletalk in the configuration but that had no effect.

Nothing shows up in CUPS error log to trying to print from Mail. Pasted below is consistent message we get in Console when attempting to print from Mail.
Today, inexplicably, we can print from Preview and TextEdit.

Brother QL-500 P-Touch Printer and Snow Leopard

I have had this label printer for a couple of years. It has worked well, but I have had a lot of trouble with it since installing Snow Leopard.
I eventually got it working but the print program supplied by Brother P-Touch Editor is incredibly slow to load. It does eventually work. I am using version 5.0.013, which is the latest update on the Brother site.
I looked at the Get Info, and there is an option to open under Rosetta, but this crashes the program.
Any ideas?

If you check the Brother website, you will see two new driver/editor packages for Snow Leopard. The first is for versions up to 10.5 and the second is for 10.6. However, if you check the filename, you will see that both are the same file, same file size and same issue date. It seems that the folks at Brother have loaded the same fileset for both versions.... unfortunately, the version they loaded is for Snow Leopard 10.5 which is of no use to those of us with the later versions.

Oki c9800PS printer and Snow Leopard problems printing

I have an OKI c9800PS printer and I must get it working urgently. Was working fine before installing Snow Leopard 10.6. Neither Apple nor OKI have been able to help so far. Does anyone have a solution? I keep getting an error message that says 'software was not installed correctly. Uninstall and reinstall.' I have done this more than six times so far.

After reading another post I tried the same suggestion but changing the name for my own printer and it works with Snow Leopard. (The original post of this solution is at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141179&tstart=0 - Matt's answer)
SOLUTION:
The Oki installer has set permissions incorrectly.
Open the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities).
Copy and paste the following command into a Terminal window:
sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Oki/
Then hit the Return or Enter key. Enter your administrator's password at the prompt.
NOTE: Make sure the printer name, in my case 'Oki', is exactly the same spelling and case. When I put in OKI it didn't work. I had to put in 'Oki' as in my Printers folder.

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

HP 2420dn printer - Tray 3 is missing from new Snow Leopard Driver

I am a physician and have plain paper in tray 2 and NYS preprinted prescriptions in tray 3. This was working fine with leopard. After the upgrade I cannot find tray 3. Tray 3 is enabled on the printer configuration and it shows up on the Web configuration tray correctly.
When I go to:
Preferences/Options% Supplies/Driver
There is a check box for duplex unit
fit to page drop down menu
total printer memory drop down menu
But NO check box for tray 3.
I have other HP laserjet printers in my medical office 2340 etc and they are all working fine with tray 3.
I upgrated to Snow Leopard correctly using a CD and then did a software update that contained new printer drivers.
I have rebooted the printer, my computer.
What is going on? Is the new printer driver for HP 2420 dn defective?
Is there a work around. Generic printer drivers also don't have this extra tray 3
HELP!....please

I have found a work-around. The printer driver for 2340 works just fine! I don't know if I am doing any harm by using the wrong printer driver. Clearly, there is a bug that needs to be fixed in the 2420dn driver for Snow Leopard

Can't print PDF's to Canon MP560 running Snow Leopard on MacBook

Since upgrading my 2008 MacBook to Snow Leopard a few weeks ago, I've been experiencing problems printing to my Canon MP560. Initially, nothing would print at all, even after updating my drivers, so I uninstalled & reinstalled the printer and it seemed fine.
Now I've tried to print for the first time out of Adobe Reader. At first, it was trying to force my jobs through the rear tray instead of the main paper cartidge, but I forced it through the cartridge through the print settings. Now when I hit print, the printer starts to receive the data, but the printer queue pops up with a generic "An error occurred while printing" message. The job then sits in limbo on my MacBook and the printer sits waiting to receive data, until I manually delete the job from the queue. I've confirmed that I can print from other apps (Word, Firefox); it's only Adobe Reader that fails me. I've made sure Reader was fully updated (it already had been), and the only Mac software update is the Java update that was just released this week. Ive pulled the plug on the printer to restart it, and I've once again uninstalled & reinstalled the printer on my MacBook.
Any ideas?

Sorry to say this is one of those "I've been having the same %$#@!ing problem" through two OS upgrades and upgrade to Acrobat Pro X. Posting this becasue my symptoms are the same, including the rear tray commandeering, and that the printer is a Canon (MX860).
Can print PDFs from Preview and browsers. Grr....
