Help!!! Can't Print at all

I have Mac desktop and a Canon printer wired to it. I have a compaq pc laptop that connects wirelessly to the router connected to the Mac. I installed Bonjour which instantly recognized my Canon printer. I have printed effortless for months. All of a sudden a week ago, I selected docs to print from my pc laptop. Now, I can't print.
There are 3 docs that show up in the print queue on both the pc and mac. I try to delete them from the print queue on my pc and it says Access Denied. Huh??? I am the only one who uses these computers. I tried to delete the docs from the Mac print queue and it says "unexpected error." I have deleted the printer from the pc and reinstalled it using Bonjour. The docs are still there. I have turned off both computers and the printer. THE DOCS ARE STILL THERE. What the heck is going on? Why can't I delete these docs or, better yet, why aren't they printing??? Please somebody help me. I'm going to throw these wonderful pieces of technology out my second story window.

Ok -- a little searching turned up the following -- it seems when you add a printer on the Windows side via Bonjour you need to select "generic postscript" as the print driver. In other words, don't select the driver for the target printer. I've done this for two printers, Canon Pixma iP4000 and Epson Stylus R200. Here are two links ...

  • Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
    Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

  • How can I print out all notes?

    I have over 200 notes and I would like to print out a copy to keep as a reference. Is it possible to somehow print out all of the notes at once without having to open up each one individually and print them out.

    It's not a file, so you can't "open" one file. Every message (and note) is a single file on the computer.
    This Applescript will grab all the notes in the selected mailbox (i.e. the selected Notes item in Mail) and put them in a textEdit document.
    Note that Mail doesn't differentiate between a note and an email message, so if you run this while a normal email mailbox is selected, it will gather all of your email messages.
    tell application "Mail"
    set theMailboxes to the selected mailboxes of message viewer 0
    repeat with aMailbox in theMailboxes
    set theNotes to the messages of aMailbox
    set theText to ""
    repeat with aNote in theNotes
    set theText to theText & content of aNote & return
    end repeat
    end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "TextEdit"
    set myDocument to make new document at end of documents with properties {text:theText}
    end tell
    Copy and paste this into a new AppleScript Editor Document, select the Notes mailboxes you want to print the notes from, and click the Run button (Green button with arrow).
    This may take a while.

  • How can I print out all notes or export the entire file?

    I have around 300 notes that include a variety of information. I would like to print out a hard copy. I don't want to open and print out each one individually. Is there a way to print out all of them at once. Also, is there a way export the file so I can open it in another application like Excel or Word?

  • Help -Can't print to my HP LaserJet via Ethernet Bridge

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.5. I'm trying to print with my old HP Laserjet 4MP Postcript printer. The printer is an old serial port printer connected to an Asante Ethernet Bridge with an Ethernet cord that plugs into my computer. This has worked fine for years on my G4 with OS 10.3. But, as soon as I try to use the same connection with the same settings on my new MBP, I get nothing.
    Printer Setup finds the drivers for this printer no problem. Connected via AppleTalk. However, when I send something to print it never prints. The printer window just keep saying "Waiting for Job to Complete..."
    Any ideas why I can't print. I've repaired permissions and I search other forums, but other people seem to be able to print like this???
    Or, are there any alternative drivers that I could use to access this printer?
    Thanks!
    Laura

    I don't have an answer but can suggest a couple of things. I use an old HP Laserjet 2100 with built-in ethnernet. I don't use Appletalk to print but IP printing. Your bridge must have a TCP/IP address. You might be able to use IP printing to send directly to that. Another idea is maybe you need to enable Appletalk on the MBP. By default it's disabled you can turn it on in the networking panel. You might already have that so I'm not sure if that would help. One last thing might if you have the firewall on in the sharing preferences that could be blocking it also.

  • Getting unknown error when printing with latest version(using HP Laserjet 1200). I can't print at all using this version. Able to print previously.

    I ceased to be able to print when the latest version of FireFox was
    downloaded. I can print from the same websites using I. E.
    My printer is a HP Laserjet 1200 series. I only get the error(an unknown error occurred while printing) when trying to print through FireFox. I can print email fine and any other instance as long as I'm not going through FireFox.

    Hello Josh,
    We are using a couple of EFI (Fiery) controllers with our Canon copiers and I have been told by Canon support that we need to be using the MacTel (Universal Binary) versions of drivers for Leopard. Luckily for us we have mostly new models of RIPs and the UB drivers exist for these models, but I know that they are not available for all models, which I believe includes your X3e.
    To determine if you have a driver or RIP issue, you could save the file as either PS or PDF and then use the EFI utilities, such as Command Workstation, to import the file to the RIP (select Process and Hold) and then see if you can print your multiple copies that way. If that works then you know that the RIP is probably okay.
    The next test would be to create a generic PS queue to the X3e and print using this queue. If this works then you can narrow your issue down to the driver.

  • I have a hp officejet pro 8500a plus. can i print in all black when the other ink colors are out?

    i'd like to find out if there is a way i can still in black if i have one color cartridge empty

    This model has separate ink supplies and printheads.  Ink is required in all the colors to keep the printheads and plumbing from clogging.  See this page for information on how ink is used.

  • Can someone help - can't print from freehand running 10.5.7?

    Help please, I have just upgraded to an iMAC (lovely) running 10.5.7. Freehand 10 seems to work beautifully, however now matter how hard I try I can't get it to print. It will not print to printer, PDF or PS. I get a very helpful message "could not complete your request because an error occurred." Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?
    Please help
    (The mac shop doesn't have anyone who has even used Freehand)

    Hi there,
    Does you printer/RIP support protocols other than AppleTalk? If it does, then I would change it to something like HP Jetdirect-Socket.

  • Can't print at all - HP Desktop 3520

    I've had problems with this printer since I got it (not that long ago but probably out of warranty) and it has now crashed on me totally at a time I need it the most.
    Moved house and now my printer won't even show up on my computer or iPhone wifi network list (it did initially and worked for a while, but then decided not to cooperate, print jobs just stayed in an endless queue of unprinted documents and then disappeared from the list altogether anyway). I've turned printer wireless on and off, turned my printer and computer on and off, and tried all the other usual things that work after an unnecessarily long and drawn out amount of effort, but it still won't show up in the list of networks.
    I don't have the USB cable for some reason (don't remember it even being in the box when I got it), so I'm pretty well at the end of my efforts to make it work.
    None of the Google searches I have tried have helped one iota. 
    Any ideas, community of printer experts?

    Hello @min1, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
