I'm having problems printing from my 15" macbook pro to my HP wireless printer. It works sometimes but not reliably, it can spend hours "seating for printer". I can print from my i pad with no problems
Hi,
Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

Sorry for my ignorance but i'm having problems printing
Hi
I am very new to indesign and to print graphics. I am not new to web graphics.
I am having problems printing a document that I have created in InDesign CS5. Now I have learnt that I need to calibrate stuff with ICC profiles but I am not sure what I am doing.
Do i need to create aan ICC profile for my monitor and printer?
How do I get these to worl with InDesign?
I suppose I need to tell you what is going on. When I print my document which is mostly different shades of grey, most of the different grey shades are nearly black and I can only just see the differentces in shades between the grays. Now on my monitor they are distinctly different and can easily be seen.
So what steps do I nee dto get these colours right?
CheersFor good reproduction you need an accurate monitor profile (this is done with a colorimeter or spectrophotometer --that's overkill for just the monitor, but it can do the printer, too -- and profiling software) and an output profile for the printer and paper combination. The industry standard EyeOne colorimeter package is around $200, the spectrophotometer will cost quite a bit more.
There are services that will profile your printer for you, too, but learing to do it yourself will cost less over the long haul if you are really serious about the output quality. In theory you need to recalibrate and profile printers on a regular basis, especially when you change ink or toner. Out here in the real world, though, I suspect most of us who are not producing commercial color output just do it once and live with it until the results are no longer acceptable and the profiles need to be updated. I proof for internal use on my color laser, for example, and it hasn't been re-profiled for about three years. It no longer matches waht I see on the monitor exactly, but it's still fairly close and the prints are for my own use. I always get a proof from the printer when it's time to go to press.
Of course not all monitors and not all printers are created equal. Some monitors are incapable of showing fine gradtions in sahding in the dark or very light grays, and many, if not most, printers can't capture all of the shades you can see on screen.
For any given printer resolution, such as a 600 dpi printer, the higher the linescreen value used to print, the lower the number of shades that can actually be produced. Halftone spots (which is what are used to fool you into seeing gray using only black ink) are made up of groups of printer dots, and you can't print half a printer dot, so, for example, 600 dpi printer outputting at 100 lines per inch linescreen, uses about 36 printer dots to make each halftone spot (it might be a little different because the shape of the halftone spot is seldom a square). The best you can get from 36 printer dots is 37 levels (no dots to all dots), so the best you can hope for is about 3% steps.
Add in dot gain, the spread of ink or toner as it's absorbed into the paper and which is more prominent at darker shades, and your shadows tend to plug up, and the very light shades may not show at all. Less than 5% dot, for example is extremely hard to print on most lasers.
A really good book on the subject is Real World Scanning and Halftones, and a great book on color management in general is Real World Color Management. -
I have an Imac operating system 10.4.1 and Apple Works 6 and am having problems with Aplle Works 6. It shuts down before I am finished. Is there a place I can download Apple Works 6 onto my computer free?
AppleWorks has never been available for legal download.
Have you done the usual trouble shooting steps:
Quit AppleWorks
Delete most or all of the Recent Items list.
Remove the Preferences files to the Desktop or to the Trash.
Launch AppleWorks to see if the problems remain.
You'll find Recent Items in:
username > Documents > AppleWorks User Documents > Starting Points > Recent Items
There are several preferences files.
Go to:
username > Library > Preferences
Locate, select and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
Still in the Preferences floder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.
Select and delete the two Cache files and the Preferences file.
Button Bars is also a preferences file, but may be left where it is IF you have no problems that appear related to the Button Bar, and wish to preserve any changes you've made to the Button Bar.

Since upgrading to Lion OS X, I have not been able to print any of my documents that were created in Adobe PDF. All calls to customer support have been a bust.
When I try to print anything it comes out looking like this:
Apple PREVIEW team!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!Hi Linc...
Here is a copy of your prior post to me on a different forum...
Still no resolution...

Re: Anyone having problems with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X? When using a pdf form that allows multiline text, I am finding that the printing is completely illegible. The lines are stacking on top of each other.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, selectHelp from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Did all of that yesterday, with the Apple Representative on the phone, and nope, still a problem...it was kind of exciting, really, they kept going up and up the tiers of support until I got disconnected...Fortunately I had the email address of the gentleman who was helping me so that I could email him back and let him know that we got disconnected...as you might imagine, he still has not emailed me back. They were able to receive a copy of the form that I use for charting and try it in their facility on their computers, so we know:
1- it is not just my computer.
2- it occurred only after installing Lion OS X, not sure if they have tried it on Snow Leopard, but that's what I would have done if I was them...assuming that somewhere in Apple someone has not upgraded to Lion.
3- it is not just my software.
I think the problem is with the newer iteration of Preview not communicating well with the Adobe .pdf. probably some line of coding that needs to be written and insertedinto their program for multiline text.
:-) Thank you for your help! -
Having problems printing using ePrint from email with an SMTP transmission failure
I am having a problem printing from my Apple devices (iPhone, iPad (both running iOS 5), Mac Book Pro and iMac (Lion)) from my Mobile me account (Apple's @me.com mail). My printer is a D110a and is up-to-date. The return error message I'm getting is attached. The printer is working fine as a wireless printer but whenever I try to email something to the ePrint printer address (@hpeprint) I get this message. While I wasn't a heavy user of emailing to this printer, I did have it working. I'm very discouraged by all of the postings I've found on very similar if not identical problems that others are having ... Please help! Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients: Recipient address: [email protected] Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Command rejected Remote system: dns;email.hpeprint.com (TCP|17.148.16.96|51538|15.201.224.75|25) (hpeprint.com ESMTP Postfix) Original-envelope-id: [email protected] Reporting-MTA: dns;asmtp021-bge351000.mac.com (tcp-daemon) Arrival-date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 15:27:06 +0000 (GMT) Original-recipient: rfc822;[email protected] Final-recipient: rfc822;[email protected] Action: failed Status: 5.7.1 (SMTP transmission failure has occurred) Remote-MTA: dns;email.hpeprint.com (TCP|17.148.16.96|51538|15.201.224.75|25) (hpeprint.com ESMTP Postfix) Diagnostic-code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Command rejected initions=main-1112130128
I cannot say if this is a supported path or not, but I have a few thoughts about what you are doing. I have done a few prototypes that would send emails programatically to eprint printers.
1. do you recieve the email if you send it to a different address (your email address) - you said the email is making it out of the server, but does it make it to destinations.
2. can you try this with your own printer that has an hp connected account? this would make it easier to troubleshoot.
3. hpconnected has the idea of open to anyone or allowed senders only. depending on how your customer has their printer setup, you could be blocked by the service because of those settings. with those options, they also have the option to block users or allow users to either of those settings.
3a. login to hpconnected.com, select devices, look at the device being printed to, and there is a column for ePrint Access that will say 'Allowed Senders Only' or 'Open to Anyone'. going to the settings for a printer will give more details about these settings, and allow you to manage blocked / allowed users.
More info under 'Manage ePrint Preferences' on this doc:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03550522&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
4. I believe that in hpconnected, you can look at collections and it will show all recieved jobs - which would allow them to be printed again. I think this will list received jobs from email.

Problem Installing Microsoft Works 4.0 c
My internal hard drive crashed (died) with all of my applications (programs) on it. I have successfully installed back all of my applications from the original program disks with the exception of Microsoft Works Vers. 4.0c. Works will not install the original software back on my HD even though I have the original Works program installation disks. I get the following error messages when I try to run the Installer program on the Works program floppies. 1st error message: Microsoft setup was not completed successfully. 2nd error message: Setup was unable to locate a valid setup table file and cannot proceed without one.
When the crash occurred I had my system folder running OS 9.1 on my other Internal HD so I did not have any startup issues, etc. (thankfully)
I have a gut feeling that because I still have some Works files in my system folder they may be causing the setup program from running properly.
I am hoping someone knows a work around to help me get Works installed back on my HD.Jan.
I doubt that I have any problems with the install disks, I copied the 68K Vers. of the Microsoft install disk just as you had explained using disk copy 4.2------------it copied perfectly and when I tried to use the copy I got the same errors as I mentioned in my original post. I did not do the checksums as you had mentioned because the disk and the backup I made are working perfectly. I have not gotten any kind of error code that would be linked to a problem with the disks. My floppy disk drive has never caused me a problem in the past so I have no reason so suspect the floppy drive as being the issue.
I think the Micosoft Works error messages hold the key to the problem. Especially the error that says "setup was unable to locate a valid setup table file and cannot proceed without one", if I only knew what a valid setup table file was I might be able to dig deeper into the issue!!
I also ran Disk Warrior from the Disk Warrior CD to check out my Hard Drive, Warrior found some issues with my Hard Drive which it fixed--------I then tried the Works install disk again after fixing the errors with Warrior but had the same errors. ????????
Thanks for your input but we are still out in the woods!

Help! I am having problems printing to HP LaserJet P1006? How can I get it to work?
Hey All! I have an old iMac that I am having a few issues with getting it to print with my HP LaserJet P1006. It will print from MS Word, but not any other program. Whenever I try to print from any other program (Excel, Preview, Firefox browser) it says that the print job has been stopped, and if I try to restart it or resend it to the printer, it simply stops it again and I have no idea why. I have already tried all of the basics (restarting my computer, reinstalling the driver, unplugging and restarting the printer, etc) and am at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Having problems printing pathlist in Leopard

This script in particular should accept a file name or multiple file names and should output the pathlist of the files to textEditor and then open up the print dialog so all the user has to do is click print. However when it runs on Leopard, it opens text edit and give an error message. It reads "Can't get last paragraph of document 1 of application 'TextEdit'. Invalid index."

It's because when you first create the TextEdit document, it doesn't have any paragraphs, so there can't be a "last paragraph", so it can't count it.
Even if there was a paragraph Your script as it stands would also replace the last paragraph with your new text every time you loop.
There are downloadable illustrations of how to manipulate TextEdit documents here. The syntax is basically
tell application "textedit"
tell front document to set text to "Something"
end tell
But...
TextEdit is not particularly rewarding to script The simplest approach I can see that would work would be to concatenate the entire text, drop it into the TextEdit document in one go, and then loop through the paragraphs setting the font and size.
You'll have a much more fruitful experience if you experiment with a freeware text editor like TextWrangler or a shareware product like Tex-Edit Plus. Both have far richer and more manageable scripting abilities than TextEdit, and Tex-Edit Plus in particular is very well documented. IMHO.

Printers having problems printing PAGES 8 - HP and Cannon
I am trying to print a tri-fold church bulletin using the duplex option. My HP (7410 All in one) cuts off a half inch of the trailing edge on both sides. So I decided to use my Cannon (iP6700D)- the same document has been spooling for 20 minutes. Is Pages 8 a finished product - it looks great on the screen. Both printers are wireless. I never had a problem with version 6 that I remember. Any help is appreciated.
the trailing edge problem is inherent to the printer and the driver. If you have a borderless option for your printer, try using that.
As for the Canon problem, again that is going to be a printer driver issue.
My suggestion would be to save the file as a PDF and then try printing the PDF. This removes Pages from the equation for testing purposes.
(If these problems never showed up in iWork '06, then it may have been a global variable you had set in that program or driver. Once you set the printer you can view the layout and see how the unprintable areas will work. Avoid anything that is in the grey border and your printout should be fine.
