HP photosmart printer stopped working after 10.4.9 update - Genericclass

We have an old hp photosmart 1218 that has been printing from our iMac for the last 6 months. I wanted to update the drivers (first mistake) due to some color problems which I did right around the same time that the software updated to 10.4.9. Now it won't print and we get GenericClass: waiting for device. We have spent 3 days trying everything that we could find on the boards. It seems many folks have problems with HP drivers particularly during an OS update. Of course Apple won't support us since the printer is old, and HP says that it isn't supported. But it worked on 10.4.8!
Here are the references to everything we've tried:
1. Printer is setup via the Options/More Printers button so it does have a URI
2. Tried killing the HP Communications process - interesting effect - the system would pick a random page, say it was completed and finish the job. http://software-robotics.com/graphic-design-prepress/viewtopic.php?t=727
No printout, however.
3. Tried opening the printer setup utility with Rosetta per spybrook's advice at: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=327725&start=15&tstart=0 Still get the genericclass error.
4. Tried moving the printer to a PC and print through the network but that is another headache altogether so nevermind that!
5. Deleted everything that said HP or photosmart and uninstalled numerous times.
We are at wits end and since I did this on my husband's work computer, I am way in the dog house! Any further advice would be appreciated. Oh, and several glasses of wine have also be tried to no avail, though we didn't care nearly as much afterward!

iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

For the benefit of all those old HP printer users, I will list what I did that seemed to fix my problem. I wish it were more scientific to tell you exactly, but after 40 hours or so of messing with this, I was getting sloppy and losing hope. We actually went out looking at new printers today....
But, tonight, from a fresh reboot, I left the HP drivers on the Mac (accidentally). I downloaded both SP Ghostscript 7.07.1 and the hpijs-foomatic package found at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs When I went to set up the printer, my Photosmart was in the list on the setup utility for the first time. I had great hope.... but then received the genericclass hang when printing again. sigh. I logged in and out, but still the same hang.
But, I noticed that the HP drivers were still installed and thought that maybe there was a conflict between the two so I tried the HP unstaller but it hung. So I reinstalled the HP drivers, then noticed there was an update so I downloaded it and walked through the setup with the photosmart again. My 1218 printer was now on the More Printers list (without having to hold down Options Advanced sequence) so I selected it, tried a print run, and voila! It worked.
I'm not sure which combination worked whether the update from HP, the generic linux drivers, or both, but I don't dare touch it now.
Thanks, Greg, for your suggestions!

  • Epson printer stopped working after yosemite

    All of a sudden, after Apple autoupdate installed yosemite update and new epson drivers, my printer will only print first line of a document.
    I've tried deleting and reinstalling printer, repairing and verifying drive, deleting printer library files, unplugging, rebooting... nothing is working. Does anyone have a solution for me? Help!

    My Epson WF-4360 "lost it's mind" after being accidentally unplugged for most of a day.
    The printer DID work from Yosemite both before and after the "loss of power"
    The printer DID work from iOS before the loss of power ... but stopped working after that
    ALL the printer status reported to be fine -- showed the wi-fi network address and connection ... but was NOT discoverable from iOS
    This fix resolved the issue:
    Find the wi-fi IP address of the printer -- either from the printer or the network (mine was a local IP ... 10.0.1.n)
    Go to Safari on the iOS device -- enter the IP address of the printer
    Scroll down to the BASIC SETTINGS on the left side menu
    Scroll down to the AirPrint Setup button ... click to start
    Click OK -- to advance through the menus ... two separate browser pages for me
    You will see AirPrint "Setup Complete"
    From iOS ... the printer is now discoverable.

  • Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working after update to Acrobat DC

    Hello, I have installed Acrobat DC yesterday. Since then, Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working. It always gets stuck at Checking Fonts and any software the print originated from just hangs and I have to force it closed.
    I tried uninstalling the printer and installing it manually, repairing Acrobat installation but nothing changed.
    So, can somebody help me? Thanks.

    A method which is written here not working - because if you start to remove the fonts one by other you will see that the list does not end there.
    I did so
    1. i copied the folder with the fonts from the other clean system and replace with fonts in my system
    2. then i restore the registry tree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    3. i check system with sfc /scannow
    after these procedures Distiller DC continue to crash...
    In this time distiller crashed when it cheking their fonts in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Resources\Font
    after i rename the folder from Font to Font_ in order to he did not check this folder
    at next run Distiller crashed at the font wingding.ttf after remowing that font he crash at Vrinda.ttf (this is a oficial font of Win7 and come with him) after removing that font distiller crash at the next font name of Vani.ttf (this is a Win7 font too) - when i saw it goes on forever i back my system to normal status and uninstal Acrobat DC and back to Acrobat XI...this version work with out any problems.
    We are waiting a hotfix to resolving this problem with Acrobat DC

  • My distributed form has stopped working after Acrobat did an update the form no longer appears in my tracker.

    I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
    The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
    It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
    Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
    Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
    Has anyone else had the same problem?
    Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.

    First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.

  • Hp Photosmart printer stopped working

    Ok this has now happend to me a couple of times with HP printers on my Imac - thought it was a printer issue first but there is something i cant work out
    I have bought a wireless HP Photosmart Plus printer B210 - for about one month I had no issues whatsover yet one day it suddenly stopped working. (The same thing happened with my last printer too). I have run a wireless network test directly from the printer and everything is fine with no problems found. I opened print and scan on the preferences and the printer is listed with a green dot saying idle, last used. Yet when I try to print the print queue comes up and it starts searching for the printer, Same with HP utility. Tried reinstalling and still exactly the same issue. I have no other printers listed
    Driver version is 3.5.2
    Please help - it is driving me insane
    Thanks

    You could try 'resetting the printing system': System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on your printer listed on the left and select 'Reset printing system...'. All your printers will need to be added again.
    I've read on here people having problems with the HP software and uninstalling it using the HP uninstaller app and re-installing using the Apple provided drivers may help: HP Printer Drivers v.2.8 OS X
    When I've had trouble with wifi printing I've sometimes managed to sort it by changing to IP printing - you'll need to get the IP address of your printer, probably via its Control Panel.

    +Since Apple has made the decision to eliminate Appletalk from it's Operating System, you are now forced to set the printer up over TCP/IP. Please keep in mind that GCC has never provided drivers for the Mac. We use the Apple Built in Print Driver. We do provide an OS X PPD Installer located on our website that I recommend you download, unstuff, install, reboot your Mac, then add the printer. You can find the Installer at http://www.gccprinters.com/support/doc/ Click on the Model of your printer and download the OS X Installer. DO NOT download the Applications Folder.+
    +You will need to set the printer up over TCP/IP, which means you will need to pull the IP Address of the printer from the Printers Configuration Page. Once you've done that, please do the following:+
    +You can add the printer over IP, that should work fine. Here are some steps for you to take.+
    +1) Select 'System Preferences...' (4th item) from the 'Apple' menu. The 'System Preference' panel will appear as a new window.+

    Still cannot get the GCC printer to work or discover its IP address. Printer's Configuration page says

    When I download the Drivers from GCC Web Site I only get a Text Document with loads of meaningless
    gibberish. There is nothing to unstuff and install.
    All worked well with OS 10.5.
    Thanks for shedding any light.

    Thanks,

    Hello John,
    At this stage you will not be able to get this to print until the printer has a valid IP address. According to your post, the IP address setting is enabled but the actual IP address is unknown. This is most likely a result of the GCC being set to DHCP but if there is no DHCP server or router capable of assigning the printer an IP address, then it will not get a valid address.
    So, the first thing I recommend is you check the documentation for manually setting an IP address into the printer. This address needs to be in the same subnet as your Mac. If you check System Preferences > Network on the Mac, you will see your IP address and subnet mask. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then you subnet will be the first three sets of numbers. For example, a device with an IP address of 192.168.1.12 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has a subnet of 19.2.168.1 and a network address of 12. Ideally, so that other devices can communicate with this device, they also need a subnet of 192.168.1 but a different network address, any number between 1 and 250 but one that is not already being used by another device, such as 12 in this example.
    Once you have the IP address set in the printer, then you add the printer as the GCC tech stated, using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that you will only need to enter the IP address, such as 192.168.1.4 as per your post example. Don't enter any other numbers, such as the 9300 port reference you have tried already the colon after the IP address followed by the 9300).
    For the Print Using, you can use Generic PostScript to begin with as a test. If you then wanted to use the GCC PPD, then the link is okay. When you select the 21+n the next page shows the 21+ installer for OS 9 and OS X. This is a stuffit packed file so you will need some form of Stuffit (Stuffit Expander is a free download) to unpack the file first. Once unpacked, there is most likely an installer that you run. This will copy the PPD files for the printer to the appropriate folder.
    Hope this helps. Please reply if you require more help.

  • Photosmart 309a stopped working after unplugged for several hours

    The printer is about 6 months old and my PC detected it wirelessly immediely, out of the box. But for some reason now the radio on the printer cannot find my wireless network. I have used this printer, wirelessly, from day 1 as part of my home office (I work from home a lot). I unplugged the printer today--to move the furniture so I could paint my office. When I was done I plugged the printer back in but printing failed immediately thereafter. The only thing I did was unplug the printer. My wireless router remained plugged in and my work laptop, with uses the wireless network, continues to show a strong signal.
    I contacted HP online chat earlier this evening and they had me do a reinitialization (#,6 after unplugging for 20 seconds). That did nothing to help the problem.
    I have also uninstalled the printer and reinstalled the printer drivers -- still nothing! I am running Vista 64 home premium.
    Both the radio and bluetooth lights are lit on the front of the printer.
    The printer does work if I connect it to my pc via a usb cable.
    Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? 

    It sounds like it never even really starts the process by finding a list of wireless networks to choose from.  Is the wireless radio on (usually a blue light)?  If so, run a Wireless Network Test from the front panel of the printer to find out the radio's status.  It may have failed.  Let me know what it says.
    While you are messing with this stuff I would highly recommend not using WEP.  It is no longer secure (freeware from the web can break it in about 10 minutes).  I recommend WPA or WPA2 encryption.  You can even set your own passphrase that you can remember (but make it strong - 13 characters or more, numbers and letters, upper and lower case).
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

    Thanks for your reply,
    I 've checked that thread.
    It seems that since then, OKI has acknowledged the issue and has instructions on their site
    (which I had followed during setup, so the printer was working until now)
    http://www.okidata.com/mac-mavericks-driver-support
    When removing the OKIHC004.plugin file, I get this message
    You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer.
    Another issue is that on OKI's site, my model is no longer listed when searching for drivers to download!

  • Mail app has stopped working after 10.9.4 update on July 4, 2014

    Mail is totally dead.  It does not connect to the internet.  Each of my email accounts has the exclamation triangle next to them.  No new peripherals or devices or USB connections were added after the update.  The system worked before the update, and the same system stopped working (Mail app so far) after the update.

    In your opinion Apple was doing a garbage job, when in fact it was Intego that trashed your Mac. That's all it is capable of doing.
    But now I have no virus protection.
    This is a common misconception. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage convey no benefit and as you found out, can simply prevent your Mac from working as it is designed to work.
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after 10.5.8 update

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having problems with my keyboard after I updated to 10.5.8. More specifically the CMDOPTRight combo used in Firefox and Textmate (and possibly others) has completely stopped working.
    I've checked it with the Keyboard Viewer and whenever I press this combo nothing happens. Strangely enough, when pressed in any other combo these keys work fine. I have installed no new software, installed any other updates or changed any existing keyboard combo and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next.
    It's not the end of the world but any suggestions would be very gratefully received.

    It's alright, I've managed to create a workaround using Quicksilver custom triggers.

  • Iphone sound stopped working after ios 6.0 update

    My 4s was working fine until I updated to 6.0.  After that, my sound stopped working.  If I plug in headphones it works, but as soon as I unplug it stops.  When I plug into my USB sync cable it works, but when I unplug it stops working. I updated through user settings over wifi and not through itunes sync if that makes any difference.  I know other people are experiencing similar problems.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes rev, I tried the dock cleaning as well, I didn't help me either. I read and tried everything others did-no luck. I'm guessing these are the facts, either it will quietly get fixed on an update or the % of phones with the problem compared to those that don't doesn't warrant attention and is better addressed through Apple by just replacing it..if it's still under warranty.

  • Isight Stopped Working After Installing Quicktime Software Update

    This afternoon when I logged into my Macbook, it automatically detected new software update for Quicktime. As always, I let the computer download and install the software. However, this time it created a lot of problems for me. First, I couldn't connect to my network (I use Airport Express) although the signal was strong. After reset modem, router and Airport, finally I could get on network. However, then I found out my Isight stopped working. The light on the right side of the built-in camera was always on (green). My Photo Booth screen appears green all the time. I no longer can use Skype video chat. Does anyone encounter the same problem? Can anyone help me out? I use Macbook, the operating system is OX 10.4.3. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
    I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
    If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
    If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
    If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
    Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
    Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.
