HELP!! Another Printer Problem!

HELP!
I'm trying to print and it states that its NOT connected...
I tried upgrading the driver... SAME THING...
I go to Airport Utility... ITS CONNECTED. WTH?!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mahalo!

It looks as if the printer driver can't handle the printer being shared via AirPort and expects the printer to be directly connected to your computer.

YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

I've found another printing problem - this time with colour printing.
To my
surprise, Forte (3.0.E.0) can print in colour (at least on a HP 690C,
using
NT drivers for the 660C, the printer being connected to a Win95
machine).
I can print OK with from my NT develpoment machine in colour, but when
running
the same app from the Win95 client with the printer attached locally the
coloured text disappears. Has anyone else come across this problem?
Is this another of the 'Printing works fine as long as it happens
non-locally?'
features?
Thanks

where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
typically yellow-on-black.

Yet another printing problem 'EOF' errors

This problem is probably both a Leopard and Adobe problem combined. It's a rather complicated problem, but the bottom line is that (to most printers) the jobs coming out of one of our Mac Pros cause the printers to crash and restart themselves giving an 'EOF Error (End of File)' on at least one of them. The problem also appears to affect PDF documents created in InDesign which will then cause the same errors on any computer it is printed from.
Things you may need to know and that I've already tried:
• The same printers with the same drivers printing the same files will work on other Mac Pros of the same version with the same version of Leopard.
• Using a generic driver will print properly, however this is not a workaround because we need duplexing provided by the driver and I'm not sure how this could fix the PDF problem.
• Fonts have been disabled and checked with Font Doctor.
• Starting up in 'Safe Mode' will allow printing, but without fonts or links on server volumes.
• Switching the hard drive with another identical Mac Pro brought the problem with the HD, worked on other. In other words, the problem is definitely in the software and not a hardware problem.
• Reset the printing system numerous times.
• Re-installed the OS, Adobe CS3, and a couple of documents - same problem with no added extensions. Other computer with tons of extensions and fonts, etc. - no problem.
• Plain text documents print fine.
• Some PostScript documents will print, but rarely.
• Will not print to HP LaserJet 2420, Minolta Di650 Fiery, ABDick Platemaker.
• WIll print to Kodak DigiMaster (three different models and versions)
Everything that I think sounds like it could be the problem is disproved by the fact that several other Mac Pros with the exact same configuration have no problem. I'm thinking about cloning another Mac Pro system that works and seeing if I can go about it that way.
Apple support was no help. Nor was Adobe. They tried to be helpful, but there is no logic to solving this one. This has been going on for over a week now and I've tried so many things. It's driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It was actually just a commonly used font that had gone bad somehow. Problems like that are always fonts or links. Sometimes they just aren't as obvious. We thought we'd checked everything and it affected so many of her files because she used the font so often.

Help resolving printing problem with v10.6.8 and Canon MP780 PIXMA

Hello,
My Canon MP780 PIXMA stopped being able to print text in black some months ago and having scoured the internet for advice I've discovered that this issue is not that uncommon. This printer uses 5 ink tanks 3 of which are for single colours and two of which are for different kinds of black ink. The tank responsible for printing black text (fonts) for some reason just won't do its job.
Amongst other people's online posts I found a workaround cheat to print black text (simply change the paper setting to Photo Quality or Double Sided Photo for printing either single or duplex printing).
But this uses up too much ink and is EXTREMELY slow.
I have read of the same issue using a different series of Canon printers - and apparently those Canon laser printers just needed an updated CAPT driver.
Tasks already attempted to no avail:
- cleaning the ink nozzles via the software utility
- print test via software utility demonstrates absent gridline pattern
- taken out print head and cleaned carefully with water then left to dry naturally before replacing
- removed Microsoft Word font folders from user library location then restarted my machine (in a desperate response to some advice given in this community to someone else experiencing the same problem but with a different printer)
- opened FontBook and resolved duplicate fonts and restarted my machine (there were about 5 duplicates)
- tried printing from TextEdit and Preview to see if Apple software was behaving differently to Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat - but still cannot print black text
I've had this printer for about 7 years and although it's a massive machine and doesn't have built-in proper networking, it makes scanning and printing massive documents so easy - well it did before the black text problem began - so I'd love to find a true solution rather than chuck it out and buy a new printer.
I run it from a MacBook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Version 10.6.8 via USB cable.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

Can someone help with print problem?

I have problem saving the printer driver settings in CS6, and not shure it is problem with my installation only. Can anyone check for simlar behaviour by selecting some printer driver settings that are not the default ones and see if those are saved when Done button in the Print dialog is pressed. Thank you!

There are only few threads describing the similar problem, I have been checking for meny years for that because it is nothing new to me I remember the same behaviour in CS and CS2, and allways wondered why there was no official fix for it. Actually, the reason to ask for help is not the bug itself, but rather the bizzare lack of user complaints in community forums, that would have eventually rised the program designers attention. Am I the only one out of maybe millions of Illustrator userrs that regularly prints from it?

Help! Printer Problem

Hi everyone, here's is the situation. My Dad bought my Mom a Dell Inspiron laptop running vista64, I know, I know She can print fine when the epson rx680 is directly connected to her laptop. She can print fine to the printer, which is connected to the Airport Extreme, when she connects the ethernet cable from the AE, but when she try's printing wirelessly it prints funny. Meaning the document starts to print the first page ok, gets about half way through the second page and then stop's, after about 50 seconds its starts to print again, continuing on the second page, except it will start to print the top of the first page on the bottom of the second page, and then start the same process over and over again. It just keeps printing.
We have tryed Bonjour and the manual setup of Standard TCP/IP port, puting the AE ip 10.0.1.1 as the printer Name,niether will let it print correctly. I hope some one can help we dont want to call a network geeks in.
thnx Jess

We're all still looking. I've asked the same thing here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2221755&tstart=0, and to my knowledge nobody's found a workaround yet.
...+but we're all still looking for one!+

Re: YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

Ed,
I wonder if this is related to the printing feature I discovered
where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
typically yellow-on-black.
Sounds like your print windows are inheriting their color from the desktop. You can
change this in the window workshop on the color palette. The "i" in the palette
means the window inherits it color from the desktop.

Another printing problem

search keywords: hp, cups, foomatic, hpijs
Alright, this is extremely agonizing. I had this printer working with an earlier version of (cups, hpijs?), I switched to another model for a while, now I switched back and it doesn't work. HP2210 all-in-one.
The behavior is extremely strange. _without_ foomatic installed, I run thru the standard cups installation, it shows up, etc. But it won't print anything. It just queues forever and says idle, accepting jobs. If i install foomatic, the printer disappears (on the part where it asks me to pick the port/location). This is driving me to my wits end, what do I need to do?

iBertus wrote:Do you have ghostscript and gimp-print installed? Also, my printer 1210 all-in-one doesn't show up in the list of ports but works once configured for the first USB port in cups.
ghostscript and gimp-print are both up to date.
now I got foomatic installed, the printer still shows up, but it won't print :?:

Another Print problem

Installed the 64 bit version of the beta LR4. Imported some gkids school pictures. Did some development module work on each one. Opened the print module and used a "user defined" templete from 3.6 that beta 4 had already imported. This is a simple 3 x 3 setup on letter paper. Selected print and changed from my default B/W laser printer to my wireless Color injet, updated the preferences for
"how to print" and said OK. No joy,
Program went grey and closed. After two days I finally found how to clear that print queue. It had shut down some Win 7 services and I had NO printers for awhile. "PrintIsolationHost" was the last service that wouldn't work. Ran the Win7 app "Fix-it" (worked great) and fixed the print queue and the lack of certain services.
I am just reporting the problem and don't expect any solution until the next update.

Using the OS X built-in network protocols (IP printing, Windows Printing) requires CUPS drivers. Unfortunately, nearly all non-postscript printer manuafacturers provide Carbon drivers, not CUPS drivers, and with Carbon drivers they can intentionally limit what comm protocol will work. So, your Canon came with a USB-only driver. The only CUPS driver I know of for your model is from www.printfab.net. But you should check Gutenprint regularly because they frequently add newer models:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
Once you have a driver, be sure to read the print server manual to understand which protocols are supported, and if using LPD or IPP, what the queue name (port name) is.

Please help with Printer problem on MBP

I am running 10.5.1 and am trying to install the software to enable me to scan. I have tried from the original CD, but it doesn't work (i assume this is because it was meant for 10.4). I have also tried downloading from the website but the download always says something like "19mb out of ?" and then eventually the downloads errors out.
Is there any way i can get the scanner to work? can anyone upload this software to me? I know its a lot to ask but im not sure what to do.

Don't know what to tell you, but I downloaded the file without any problem. Do you have enough space on your drive for the file? You may have a problem on your drive so you might consider doing the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger and Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Another Printing Problem with iPhoto

iMac, 800 MHz, PowerPC G4
OS X 10.4.11
HP Printer
I purchased the 08 iLife and iPhoto worked really well. I installed the update to 7.1.1 and this was the first I have tried to print since that update. Clicking on the print icon (between Email and Order Prints) does nothing at all. Going to the menu bar and dropping down to Print gives +“No Available Themes. There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable.”+ The themes do show up in the Library/ApplicationSupport/iPhoto folder.
1. Disk Utility has been run several time and permissions repaired only on the first time.
2. iPhoto (com.apple.iPhoto.plist) file deleted several times with no change.
3. iPhoto rebuilt (started program with Option and Command keys held down) with no change.
4. #1 and #2 repeated with no change.
I tried to reinstall iPhoto from the original disc, but since it was a prior version it would not overwrite the 7.1.1.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Hawk

Well it looks like things took a turn for the worse. I deleted everything but my iPhoto library and put in my iLife 08 disc. It found that it needed to install iPhoto (looks good). When the install finished I double clicked on the icon and up comes iPhoto with the message that "photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto (still looking good). When I click on the upgrade button I get the message, "Your photo library is damaged and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup" (not looking good). I tried to use the backup, but got the same message. I have since repaired permissions a couple of times (nothing found either time) and done a couple of restarts. As of right now I have a couple of thousand pictures that I can not only not print, but I can't access. Still need some suggestions.

Another printer problem

Just bought a Canon PIXMA MG3120. I can connect it to my home internet wireless fine. I can not set it up on the MiFi though. Any ideas on how to do it. I understand from Canon all I have to do is go through the set up again, but it never finds the networkMiFi.
<< Please do not post your private email address on this public forum.>>

Chances are that your Printer is only compatible with B/G signals. Try lowering your MiFi so that it can communicate in a technology that your printer understands.
Change the 802.11/Wireless Mode
Sign into your MiFi
Click the Wi-Fi tab
Change the 802.11 mode from B+G+N to B+G
Click Apply
Test your connection

Goods Receipt Note - printing problems

Hi there
I have a couple of issues regarding printing problems for Goods Receipt Notes.
The 1st problem
Only the first line item is printed on the GRN, all the other line items are omitted from the GRN.
The 2 nd problem
When doing a Non-stock item GRN it does not print at all.
The 3 rd problem
Our stock count sheet only print 300 line items at a time and it is also not in sequence.
Another printing problem is with our picking list
Here what happens is that instead of the picking list skipping the "perforate section" at the end of each page, it just continious printing one stroke through without any intervals.
Then the last issue but with printing of Reservations, is that even though we have zero stock on hand, the reservations are still being printed. This causes a problem not only waisting paper, but we have to go through those lists to identify the actual reservations that can be issued.
Please can anybody help?
Regards
Sonja
