Help! One error printing and now all print jobs status = STOPPED.

I work in a big corporation with 99.99% PCs. I've been printing to networked printers here under Leopard without problem for a long time now. I recently submitted a print job to a HP printer and all it printed was:
Error: invalidfont
OFFENDING COMMAND: definefont
STACK:
-dictionary-
/HSRYIE+ArialNarrow-Italic
However, since that moment I have been unable to print anything irrespective of what printer I choose (HP, Xerox etc). Every time I start a job it immediately shows with a status of STOPPED in the printer window. Other people continue printing to these printers just fine, snickering at my Mac along the way .
Any ideas??

Hoping to inspire some tech-head to respond here...
Restarting doesn't fix this. Repairing permissions doesn't fix this. Removing and reinstalling the printer doesn't fix this.
When I create a print job I get the following in the error_log:

I homed in on the spooled file permissions issue and (as root) changed the permissions of that file to 777 and re-submitted the job, yielding the following log:

If anybody can even offer a clue to what happened here I'd be very appreciative.

My apple tv was previously and now all of the sudden stopped playing sound from my macbook air via airplay

I was using airplay to stream from my macbook air on my tv via apple tv and when i paused the sound stopped and now will not resume. I have reset both and both are fully updated. Please help

Dowload the program BEAMER, its far superior to AIRPLAY, theres a free 30 day trial. See if it works on that. Beamer is the best app for wifi of VIDS to your AppleTV
http://beamer-app.com/
also, try a diff VID format, AIRPLAY doesn’t support all VID formats (beamer does however).
I cant live without beamer, you can multitask on your Mac WHILE beaming high-def to your Apple TV, ….Airplay wont do that reliably.
Process of elimination diagnosis!

I made some amendments to my colour settings in PS CS5 and now everything prints black and white. Please help me to reset all the settings to default

I made some amendments to my colour settings in PS CS5 and now everything prints black and white. Please help me to reset all the settings to default. This was after I tried to implement the steps set out in Real World Photoshop CS5. I stuggele to match the colours of my two screens, the one a laptop and the other a LCD and the printer, even after calibration with Spyder 3. Really lost at present.

Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the blue circle with an arrow to the right of your network then tap: Forget This Network.
Restart the iPad. Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the network name again then type in your password.
If that didn't help, try here > Apple - Support - iPad - Wi-Fi Assistant
And try turning off your router for 5 minutes, then turn it back on. Try typing in the password again.

I tried to print an iphoto help menu page and now my printers both have an error message and won't print.

Was working in iPhoto; went to "Help" menu to for instructions. Tried to print the instructions and received an error message that has disabled my ability to print on both of my printers. Can't cancel this "error" message. Any suggestions?
Have shut down the computer overnight and restarted with no success for the printing situation.

In the system preferences go to the printing preference, open the printer and cancel all jobs

I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing." I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop Elements, checked my printer settings and still I can't print a photo.

Hi ,
Please update to PSE 13.1

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

I was using my wife's MacAir while my Macbook was in for repairs and now all of my printers want to do through her Macbook Air and unless it is on and on our home wireless, I can't print. Is there an easy "fix" for this?

Well you need to add the email account back to get the calendar entries. Transfer them to another email provider. Then delete the account you don't want.

My iPad was printing to my HP wireless printer and now it won't..any suggestions on what I might try to get it back?

I was able to print from my iPad to my wireless HP printer and now I can't. Any suggestions on what to do to get it back? Will resetting network settings help?

Are you getting any error messages - or is it just saying No Printers Found - if the latter this has happened to me - I have 2 networks on my airport express (my network and one for guest access0 - sometimes my iPad switches to the guest network which does not have wireless printer on it ( i dont know why it does this) - if i switch the iPad back to my network the printer shows up again
In fact see the No Printers Found message is a pretty good indication that the iPad has switched to the guest network

Just installed a new kodak printer and now photoDeluxe 2.0 won't open says not enough memory

just installed new kodak all in one
printer and now my photodeluxe 2.0
won't open. This program has worked fine for years can anyone tell me what's going on and how to fix it?

Boy, did you stumble into the wrong forum...
This is the Camera Raw forum relating to raw processing of digital captures-it has zero to do with PhotoDeluxe (which I don't think has been for sale in YEARS...). Sorry, there are no active forums for PhotoDeluxe. Guess you need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements to be even close to current...
