HP Photosmart C3180 on USB Will Not Print After Update to 10.5.7

My HP Photosmart C3180 all-in-one printer (connected via USB) has worked fine up to now. Last night I installed the 10.5.7 update and now all the machine will print is a single line of text with the name of the Adobe postscript file, and then it continues to feed and output blank page after blank page without end.
I tried reinstalling my printer drivers. That did not fix it. It also keeps prompting me for an Adobe PDF file name each time I send a document to print.
I've tried printing PDFs, Word documents, web pages, etc., and I keep getting the same results.
Any suggestions about alternative drivers or are other people experiencing printer problems after the update?

I downloaded the 10.5.7 update on its own and reinstalled it. That seemed to fix the problem now. Don't use the "Check for Updates..." link in Finder.

  • MBP 17" will not restart after updating Java... why?

    MBP 17" will not restart after updating Java...why?
    It would actually try to restart for about 10-15 seconds but would quit and then shut down. Tried using P_R_Command_Options but that too failed and again it just shut down. Tried using D at startup which ran a test of the hard drive. No issues there which tells me there's a software problem.
    Can any one help?

    Disk Utility suggest reformating
    Reformatting is not a Recovery Aid. When Disk Utility suggests reformatting, it is because it considers your drive unsalvageable. Yes, you lose all the data on the drive when you reformat.
    And yes, Mac OS X Extended, journaled is the method you will need for a Mac OS X Boot drive.
    You should also consider buying a replacement drive to have on hand the next time this internal drive gives you the slightest bit of trouble. Possibly an external enclosure to put it in as well. and it would not hurt to go ahead and Install Mac OS X on it and try booting from it, to make sure it is ready.
    And make sure your Backups are current, as the next time that internal drive screws up you may get no warning whatsoever.

  • HP Photosmart Premium c 309g will not print black, all other colors fine. Shows ink levels fine,

    Have photosmart premium c309 g connected wirelessly to I Mac and Mac book pro.  The unit suddenly will not print black.  Ink levels show all good.  All other colors print fine.  When check HP utility and go to print quality diagnostics, a box appears that states cannot print PQ page--make sure printer is turned on.  If I tell it to print a page, it immediatly connects and prints all colors but not black.  How can it print regular page but not receive message to print PQ page?  "make sure printer is on" ??

    I have this exact same problem with the same printer.  Printer will not print black. My macbook pro is connecting to the printer but shoots out a blank page.  I just put in a new ink cartridge even though it was not low on ink.  Please help.

  • Hi there can anyone help as i am unable to contact Apple for support with my printer which will not print after recent software update? this is the email i tried to send to apple with no success, can anyone help please.......Dear Apple, I'm pulling my hai

    Hi there,
    Can anyone out there help, after a recent Apple software update my Epson Stylus Photo RX640 will no longer print, every other aspect of the printer works fine including the scanner but it just will not print, I sent an email to apple but all i got was an automated reply directing me to their support page, the email i sent is below this explains in full what the problem is & what i have done to try & fix this problem.
    Dear Apple,
    I'm pulling my hair out after a recent software update from apple, since this update my Epson Stylus Photo RX640 will not print, every other function of the printer including the scanner works fine,
    Please see attached file of the error message coming up in the print queue.
    I have spent days trying to fix this, i have been onto Epsons website & followed their resolution for this error message to no avail, after contacting them again with the results i got an email back saying : In response to your email, the RX640 will use an inbox or gutenprint driver on Mac OS X 10.6.8, it is not compatible with an Epson driver.
    I have also tried re-installing drivers from original Discs for the printer but it still will not print, obviously this error has been caused by Apple's latest software update, when are Apple going to fix this problem? i need my printer working ASAP.
    Regards
    Brian
    PS i obviously can't attach the error message so here it is:    Error:/Library/Printer/Epson/inkjetprinter 2/filter/rastertoescpll.app/contents/mac os/rastertoescpll/failed
    Thank You all in advance
    Regards
    Brian

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless (Vista x64) Will not print after Sleep Mode

    Hello,
    As the title says the printer does not print after coming back from sleep mode. Before entering sleep mode the printer works fine and is responsive. After coming back from sleep mode the printer is still responsive (buttons on the touch screen can be pressed) but unfortunately does not accept any print jobs. Currently, I restart the printer to get it to print. It is connected wirelessly through WRT610N Linksys Router. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    -Artem Durytskyy

    I have been having the same problem all during my warranty period. But no one ever told me it was a firmware problem until two days ago connected to the sleep mode for the wireless one. Supposedly, they have downloads for wire ones now online which I found for 909a and 909b, but not 909g which is wireless. Now I am out of warranty and they won't replace it. I have a long history with tech support since early 2010. Right now, they are sending me a power adapter to try, said to turn off sleep mode (which I dont' know how). Then I told them I found online a firmware download, Apr 2010 to update firmware. My current version is different that the one listed for the download. So, I'm going back to TS to have them fool with it. Has anything worked for you?

  • FaceTime will not run after update to 10.6.7

    Updated the OS to 10.6.7 earlier today. Tried to run FaceTime this evening, and found that it will not start. First indication of a problem was that the FaceTime icon was missing, instead a generic icon was present. Tried to start FT, and found that the computer will not let it start. Was told that this version of FT is not compatible with the installed OS.
    I then did something that was probably wrong, but I deleted FT, in hopes that I could then download the latest version of FT from the AppStore. Not only did that strategy not work - I am still told that FT is already installed on this Mac, so cannot update it - but I no longer have FT in any version on my Mac.
    Probably should have waited to download and install the OS update, but that is history now. Instead, I have two Apple apps that will not work after running the update.
    Any Ideas??

    Reinstall the app from the Applications install disk that came with the computer. That will fix icon issues, and make sure that the version is correct. FT apparently has not been updated since the 'early 2011' MBPs came out, so the disks that came with the computer should take care of it.
    I was able to get FT working in this way, and am now able to keep in touch with my wife, while away on business. Much better!!

  • HT1338 Aperture will not open after update? What do I do?

    Aperture will not open after I updated. What do I do?

    Mgoss, quit the installer or App Store/Software Update (depending on what you're using to update) and restart your machine. With Aperture closed, drag the Aperture application to the trash, then reinstall Aperture from your original media and, if necessary, update again.

  • Hp Photosmart 1215 color cartridge will not print.

    I have a photosmart 1215.
    The color quit printing so I purchased a new print cartridge
    hp c6578d
    and that cartridge would not print.
    I performed all the cleaning procedures as set forth on this site.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Did you remove the protective tape from the cartridge? 
    Is there any trace of color on the printed page?  If not try gently blotting the nozzles on a damp tissue.  Does this leave a strong stripe of cyan, magenta and yellow on the tissue?  If not then you have a defective cartridge.  If there are no stripes of color on the tissue then the cartridge is defective.  If there are stripes of color on the tissue but no color prints on the test page or cleaning pages then the printer will likely require service.
