Help! Cannot print

I've been using my HP 920C with my iMac for about 2 years. I upgraded to Tiger a few weeks ago. I was out of color ink & after I installed the new cartridge I have been unable to print. It is the correct cartridge, installed correctly. I'm able to print a test page from the printer utility with no problems. When I try to print from Saffari, Appleworks, iCal, or anything else, the print button is its usual glowing blue, but nothing happens (the screen stays exactly the same) when I click on print. In fact, nothing happens when I click the Save to pdf or Preview buttons either. The only buttons that do anything are the "supplies" button (which opens the order page in Safari) and "cancel". Any advice?

Time to bring out the generic fixes...
Try one at a time and restart after each.
Delete and re-ADD the printer(s) in Printer Setup.
Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.
(last, desparation step - reinstall OS X using the Archive & Install option in the installer.)
Good luck.

  • Help cannot print iPhoto

    cannot print fro iPhoto using the new verison  how can you go back to the previous version

    Back to the original library
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HELP - Cannot print to local printer from iPhoto '11 v9.2.1 (628)

    How can I print?  This problem just seemed to pop up out of nowhere?!?  When I try to print a picture from any folder, by highlighting picture, pressing File and Print, I get following error window: "No Available Themes - There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."  I can not get to a printer dialogue window?!?

    Check out OT's post in this thread:

    Also, note his comments here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6998840&#6998840
    > Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • HT4356 After the latest update cannot print to my hp photos art 5510 help please

    Updated to latest iOS 6.1.2 now just cannot print to hp photosmart 5510 this was working fine until now have tried switching ipad off ,also tried turning off printer tried switching router off just sits with item in printing queue even though it finds the printer,help please

    You may have a print job stuck in the AirPrint cue of the iOS device, or the printer's firmware may be out of date.  Do a firmware update first.  You will find the directions linked below.  If that doesn't work, clearing the cue should correct the problem.  Double-tap the button on the front of your iOS device.  This will bring up a menu along the bottom of the screen that displays all running apps.  One of the apps should be Print Center, and it should have a number next to it.  That is the number of print jobs you have in the cue.  Touch the Print Center icon and a window will come up displaying the print cue.  You will only be able to cancel one print job at a time, so make sure to cancel the last job you sent first, or every print job that was sent after the first one may print.  Once the cue is clear, try using AirPrint again.  Let me know what happens.

    Installed reader software numerous times.  Still cannot get pdf files to open so I can print bank statements and bills.  Help!

    When you say you cannot print, do you see any error? Please use Print button from Reader toolbar instead of Safari > Print.
    What is your Safari version? You can find it from  Safari > About Safari
    Can you please verify Safari > Help > Installed Plugins : Do you see Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 11.0.06?
    Thank You

    I cannot print wirelessly from Macbook Pro: this is the error message I receive /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed. Can anyone help. I have been able to print on this printer for months, then yesturday out of the blue I get this error.

    "/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed"
    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

  • No borderless printing; cannot print via imagebrowser...Please...help!

    I can no longer print 4x5 borderless photos (or any photos) from imagebrowser to my i850 canon printer. I have version 6.0.2.38(7L) of Imagebrowser with Leopard installed on my Mac. I select the print option, and then it says to click on Page Setup for borderless printing. The only option I get there is 4x6 (with a border)??? There is no 4x6 borderless like I used to have with the old imagebrowser and system. I set up the print dialogue box to select the "best" picture (used to have a setting for high quality pictures???) and then I click on "Print" and nothing happens. It never goes to printer and I can't cancel or anything. I have to do a force quit. How do I just print a 4x6 borderless print using Imagebrowser on my Mac??????? Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!!!

    I am not sure where to look for these drivers.
    Both the Canon v4.8.3 and Gutenprint v5.1.3 are included with Leopard
    I went to the Canon web site and downloaded the latest driver v4.8.3 and it put it where it needs to go but doesn't tell you where that is.
    It would try to copy them to /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter, but since the same files for this version would already there be, it might not do this unless the file being added are newer. It should also copy the package installer for the 4.8.3 to /Library/Receipts.
    Anyway, when I went back into Imagebrowser I now have a much shorter list of options, plus do have the 4x6 borderless now. I click on Page Setup in Imagebrowser and select this, but when I go out of there and click on "Print" absolutely nothing happens. I still can't print from Imagebrowser. I use Quarkexpress and can print on plain paper fine so I know the printer works, but cannot print from within Imagebrowser for glossy prints. Any ideas what I may need to do?
    Not really. I used v6.1 in my testing. Maybe your v6.0.x has a problem with 10.5. Also, if you upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and didn't do a clean install of ImageBrowser, then maybe this is causing the failed printing.
    You mentioned you can print on plain paper from Quark. Can you print on plain paper from ImageBrowser?
    My last suggestion would be to view the cups error log. With the i850 printer queue open, select Printer then Logs & History. This may give some clues as to why ImageBrowser is not working for you...

  • Iphone 6Plus will not allow POP email account and cannot print to my wifi printers, I did on my Iphone 5 until I upgraded, can anyone help

    Iphone 6Plus will not allow POP email account and cannot print to my wifi printers, I did on my Iphone 5 until I upgraded, can anyone help

    I had talked with three people at Apple tech support on the phone, one person in the Apple store in Indianapolis, plus the other places I mentioned. Only the one young man in the Apple store was even able to identify the problem which was the POP vs. IMAP issue. And then like you said he was only able to say he hoped it would be fixed in the next update release. I did call him back this morning and told him about your simple solution, that I had seen it at the Apple forum, and that he might suggest bringing this topic up at the next staff meeting. I also let my Verizon rep know and an agent at Comcast. Something so simple yet it took three days and a lot of frustration to get fixed. Thanks again. You're my hero! ~ Carol Thomas
    Also forgot to mention ... I got the iPhone 6 Plus about three weeks ago and did not have this problem. But I did a backup of my iPhone 5S on the computer and then used that backup to restore to my new iPhone. The iPad I did differently and just set it up as a new iPad with no restoring from the old one. That must have made a difference on the phone because it was set up just like the 5S ... as a POP3.

  • I cannot print from Websites or my college online course. Tries to save files to desktop as an .xps document but nothing happens and I get an error message that print command did not work. Have reinstalled firefox and adobe, no help. Any suggestions?

    Cannot print anything from internet using Firefox as browser. Please advise. I have to use Firefox for internet college courses, cannot print my assignments. I do not have this problem on Mac or using Internet Explorer. Only happens when using Firefox. When I select print a message comes up to save information to desktop as .xps file. Select save, sometimes it is on the desktop but I cannot open the file or it simply does not save file and get an error message that print command failed. What is happening?

    {Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

  • Since I upgraded Firefox, I am having printing problems. Yesterday I couldn't print checks from Quickbooks. Today I cannot print a pdf. HELP!!

    I called QB yesterday and they had me download an add-on and now I am wondering if I need to do that for Acrobat?? Someone emailed me a PDF and I cannot print it.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:

    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]

  • Cannot print - troubleshooting help

    I am using an oldish pdf generator (header is PDF1.0) and cannot print the document, although it looks fine on-screen
    The generator embeds full (non-subset) T1 fonts
    summary:
    print (to ps file) - fails (in reader)
    print(to ps file)  as image - fails (in reader)
    print (to pdf) in acrobat - fails and tells that no pages were selected for printing
    preflight: all acrobat version checks OK,
    preflight: all PDF-something checks fail (of course, the generator did not know about these standards) AND indicate a font problem
    acrobat reader 4 (I still have a copy prints (to physical ps printer) ok
    ghostscript - prints (converts to postscript) ok
    xpdf / poppler - converts to postscript ok
    physical printer with pdf capability (kyocera) prints ok
    So this looks like sort of an artificial restriction - how to find out where exactly it fails?

    Interesting: I read on http://www.richnetapps.com/web-fonts-embedding/
    Monotype states that
    Monotype Imaging has introduced a new EULA that permits fonts to be used in the Embedded OpenType® (EOT) format for Web embedding and for non-commercial purposes. Products from the Monotype, Monotype Imaging, ITC, Linotype and Image Club foundries are covered by this agreement
    This is interesting. If this is the font you are using, Acrobat could embed it as it uses this format, however the tool you are using simply embeds type 1, which that particular license wouldn't allow.
    Certainly a minefield!
