Help Needed in Fixing USB Printer after CUPS Update [SOLVED]

CUPS updated a while ago but I didn't notice any warnings from pacman or whatever. I did later notice on the front page that cups had been upgraded so that usblp is no longer usable. It told me to blacklist usblp, and so I did. I also upgraded the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file as per the instructions.
I still cannot print.
When I plug in my printer, I get the following in /var/log/messages.log:
kernel: usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
kernel: usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
load-modules.sh: Not loading module 'usblp' for alias 'usb:v03F0p1D17d0100dc00dsc00dp00ic07isc01ip03' because it is blacklisted
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did indeed, though the solutions presented seemed quite convoluted.
Luckily, I have printing working by readding the printer.

Help Needed Setting Up USB Printer (CUPS) [SOLVED]

I have an HP LaserJet 1320.
I have installed cups and hplip. Following the wiki, I blacklisted usblp.
When I go to add a printer, all the shows up are SCSI and various Network choices, but no real printers. I have done this in a previous install before, but for some reason I cannot add the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Now I just need to find the right driver! Please help.

Looks like I got this one solved. Apparently my install of hplip was corrupted, since none of the supposed drivers were available. Reinstalling hplip showed me a wealth of new drivers to try. I found one that seemed to match my printer and it worked.
Thanks for putting up with me anyway, when I am stressed I do rash things.

Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?

Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?

Just to be clear, if by downgrade you mean uninstall, then the answer is technically, no.
You can't uninstall an OS. You can erase and re-install the old OS, but if you don't have a prior backup of your data, you'll lose it during the erase procedure.

HELP! canon ip1800 printer stops after cups update

Hi All,
After the recent cups update to 1.4.1-1, my little canon pixma ip1800 printer does not work.
I had used a couple of old debian packages to get the printer working when I first bought it: cnijfilter-common and the cnijfilter-ip1800. By using the deb2targz utility to unpack the debs, I was able to just write a short shell script to install the driver, which has worked well for ages.
I downloaded the AUR cnijfilter packages for this printer, installed or built all the dependencies, removed the old debian based printer driver and installed the AUR packages.
However, after a reboot, when I used the cups admin page (http://localhost:631) and tried to install the pixma ip1800, I keep getting the same error:
Bad device-uri "cnij_usb:/dev/usb/lp0"
I just don't understand why the AUR driver is not working, both parts built ok-any ideas?
I need this printer working again! Help.
Cheers for any help.

I have the same printer. In addition to the steps outlined in the news entry I had to delete the printer from the cups admin panel and re-add it. Of course you'll have to redo any customizations you made to the ppd file so before you do this you may want to make a backup of that printer's ppd file (ie. /etc/cups/ppd/ Canon_iP1800_series.ppd ) to reference later.

Help needed getting a USB to serial adaptor to work

I have a new Mac Mini but an not getting my serial adaptors to be seen by the OS (10.7)
Any ideas please

Here’s a way to get you PL2303-based Serial-USB adapter working with OS X Lion (10.7). Based on the osx-pl2303 project on github, I’ve built a kernel extension that works with OS X Lion. You can grab the kext file here or from the link below.
Installing the kext file can be done in a few easy steps:
download and extract
cd /path/to/osx-pl2303.kext
cp -R osx-pl2303.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
next you need to fix permissions and execute bits:
cd /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 osx-pl2303.kext
chown -R root:wheel osx-pl2303.kext
cd /System/Library/Extensions
kextload ./osx-pl2303.kext
kextcache -system-cache
Good luck!

Help with changes on ipod touch after OS update

things are different after the latest OS update to my second generation ipod touch. how do i fix these?
-on my recently added smartplaylist, the songs do not show up in order of how they appear on my itunes, in last added order. i already did the copy to play order and synced it
-on my cover flow, there are two of one album and i have no idea why! its fine when its on the regular music part vertically, but horizontally, not. ive checked everything about it. before the update everything was fine. but i even deleted it and put it back on and its still showing up as a double album with every single song and everything the same
-lastly, on the cover flow, unlike the last OS, every song is part of the cover flow even though i do not give it an album name. but only some songs do that. how do i get the singles out of the cover flow.
if anyone has any answer, id really appreciate it. THANKS!

More things wrong after the update!
-My wifi is weak in my house and it's always been best there too
-it says I watched tv shows 4 times in the middle of the night which I didn't
-and before if I were playing a game with sound I could double click the home button and the music player would come up so i can play music instead. But it won't do that anymore. It will only do it if music is playing on the iPod where there is no other sound going on.
Help!

Ipod connected to DVDR (USB) failure after completes update

Before updating my ipod, connected my ipod with my dvdr by the port usb, and after updating my ipod I cannot. Is possible to install the version previous to my ipod?

After searching for an answer i could only come with one conclusion. Maybe someone else will find another but this is mine.
1. First Uninstall the newest version of Itunes and uninstall the current version of IPOD UPDater if you have it. Then restart your computer.
2. After your restart find software to BACKUP IPOD or Back it up yourself. I used COPYPOD but you can also back up ipod by,
Other Way to BACK UP. Skip this step if you dont know what you are doing!!! (For windows users also for ADVANCED USERS YOU COULD NOT BACK UP AND BE STUCK WITH LOST FILES....) Go to MY Computer, Then the Ipod Drive. Click Tools>Folder Options; then click View tab. by Hidden Files and Folder click "Show Hidden files and folders." after that go back to the drives and start backing up my dragging files to desktop. You files will be In IPOD_CONTROL
It will be a sequences of F_10 and so copy all folders to a backup folder
IF you have files on your ipod backup files also such as .zip, avi, exe, txt, doc, etc.
3. After this you will install the updater from your ORIGINAL CD that came with your ipod. After the install restart your computer.
4. Go to the IPOD UPDATER and RESTORE your ipod. Let process complete.
5. After your IPOD RESTORES move all files back to IPOD by going to Itunes that came with ORIGINAL CD and dragging files from backup location to the device.
(YOu may have to install newer version if so, DO NOT UPDATE THE IPOD!)
6. Restart Your IPOD by Pressing Menu and the Clicker.
7. Stay tuned for more fixes that APPLE may come out with for Itunes and IPOD updater.
I took these steps and it fixed my problem but i still don't know what the cause was. i looked throught all the ipod hidden files and pref. and with no luck could'nt find it. Someone im still looking for answer as to why!
This may also work for people with AUDIO or VIDEO problems after update.

Epson Stylus CX7300 will not print after software update

After doing the latest update for my Epson Stylus CX7300 printer it will not print. When i open the printer utility it comes up with a communication error. I can still scan documents but i can't print or even print a test page, check ink levels etc.

Hi Kerry Bonney,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are having issues printing after running a software update I would recommend using the troubleshooting steps in the following article. It sounds like you have already completed some of these steps, but I would recommend reading over and working through the steps provided in this article.

Can no longer properly print to colour laser printer after latest update

Hi,
I've just updated my iLife '08/Leopard software using software update. It would appear that I can no longer print greeting cards etc. from iPhoto to my colour laser printer since this update. All photos are printed in a very pale yellow colour that is hardly visible.
I've tried a couple of things to diagnose the problem:
1. Saved the file as a PS and printed it from a different machine running Tiger. Same result as before: Pale yellow.
2. Viewed the PS file using Preview on the Tiger and Leopard machines. The colours were normal.
3. Saved just the image (i.e., no greeting card pattern) to desktop and printed it from my Leopard machine. The picture printed out perfectly on the colour laser printer.
4. Printed the greeting card to an inkjet. That seems to work, too.
5. Just in case there was a problem with the new greeting card, I tried to print an old card that perfectly printed before. It, too, came out in a pale yellow.
So there appears to be some problem printing from the latest version of iPhoto to my colour laser printer. I did update the printer driver, just in case, but still have the same problem. Any ideas what else I could try?
The printer is an HP Color Laserjet 2550L

I have just discovered that I can properly print pictures from iPhoto to the colour laser, as long as I don't put them in a greeting card. So that seems to be the trigger.

Locale Error Message After Todays Update [Solved]

I experienced an error message regarding something about cannot locale en-US.UTF8 after an update and reboot today.
I got rid of the error message by uncommenting:
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
in
/etc/locale.gen
Prior to fix:
$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
After fix:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

Didn't have time to check into this issue in much detail and would appreciate any additional info.

Wine doesn't start utorrent anymore after latest update [SOLVED]

Like the subject says, wine doesn't start utorrent anymore after latest update. The output I get is the following:

and then it hangs. If I change my Windows version in winecfg to for instance Windows XP, the first 2 errors disappear, but wine still hangs:

Does anybody have an idea to what might be going on?
Enabling DRI and disabling DRI doesn't help. Updating to the latest wine 0.9.30-1 also didn't change anything.

Problem is solved. Had to delete the .wine folder. Lost all utorrent settings, but it works again now.

Help needed to setup wireless printing

I have less than a month's experience of using a Mac but am really enjoying my purchase so far.
The one issue that I have not been able to solve is printing.
I have a HP Photosmart P1000 which I can successfully print to via USB but I have had no success when trying wirelessly using a Belkin Wireless Print Server (model F1UP0001). My PC was easy to setup using Belkin's setup disk but they omitted to add Macs to their list of operating systems!!
I've tried following instructions given in a post on here but it didn't work
Could anyone please offer any suggestions to find a fix?
Thank you.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The driver provided by HP doesn't work for network printing, because it bypasses the CUPS system. The only comm protocol you get is what was written into the driver - USB. Install the hpijs and ESP ghostscript driver set from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
Second issue - the windows setup software enters the server queue name during setup, but we don't have that software on OS X. You need to find the queue name in the print server docs, then enter it next to IP address in OS X Printer Setup. Common queue names are L1, lp, lpt1, etc.
Wait - just remembered I downloaded that manual for someone elses's question. The queue name is lp1 (el-p-one). So in Printer Setup select IP printer > LPD, and enter IP address and that queue name.
Good luck.
