HP Printer Driver Update 1.1.1 not showing up in software update

i have a HP HP Deskjet D4260 attached to my macs, but the 1.1.1. update doesn't show up in software update. (as 1.1 did)
i read here
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/hpprinterdriver111.html
that the update will only be visible if the printer is connected to your computer or a print queue has been created for an earlier version. well they are.
any suggestions here as i remember that with 1.1 there was only about 100mb installed of the total of 450mb.

here it states that the DeskjetD2400 series drivers are still at 2.3.2. but i thought that with these updates also general printing software is updated

Duplex printing not working after installing HP Printer Driver Update 1.1.1

Hi,
our printers (Lexmark T622, HP Laserjet 2200, both equipped with a duplex unit) are managed by printer queues on our Mac OS X Server (10.5.5). Our users (mostly having Mac Books running 10.5.4 or 10.5.5) are printing by sending their jobs to the queues on the Mac OS X Server (via IPP/TCP/IP).
So far so good.
It seems that the users who have installed the "HP Printer Driver Update 1.1.1" aren't able to do duplex-printouts anymore. All sheets that leave the printers are printed on one side only - the "Duplex" setting by these clients is just ignored. Users who haven't installed the update yet, don't have the problem (at least it seems to me like this, but I have to admit that I've tested it with only three different Mac Books, yet).
My questions are:
- Has anybody else observed this behaviour, yet?
- Or, even better, does anybody have a solution to it? Reinstalling the printer on an affected client doesn't solve it. That's what I tried already.
- Is there any possibility to make the printer driver update "undone", which means to do a kind of downgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.1?
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Steffen

Epson Printer Driver Update 2.18 and Stylus Photo 1400

My Mac Mini was unable to communicate with my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer, after installing the recent Epson Printer Driver Update 2.18. I am running Mac OS 10.7.5. Reinstalling the original driver from the Epson CD got me back on track, but, a test print from the installer did not work without additional software from Apple's servers. Avoid Update 2.18, if you are using similar equipment.

Since updating to EPSON Printer Software Update 2.18, I have not been able to print to my EPSON Stylus DX6000 (under OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard). The printer dialog box says
Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/ MacOs/rastertoescpll failed
Using Time Machine, I restored rastertoescpll.app from a time before I upgraded to the 2.18 drivers, but that didn't work. I then restored the entire EPSON folder from
/Library/Printers/
from a time before I upgraded to the 2.18 drivers, and that still didn't work.
I was not able to find the Update 2.17 on the Apple site, but I was able to find it on the www.techspot.com site.
I downloaded EPSON Printer Software Update 2.17 from
http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16158/
This downloaded EPSONPrinterDrivers2.17.dmg
I dragged the EPSON folder to the Trash, and emptied the Trash. I then ran the installer for the 2.17 drivers. After switching the printer off and on again, I was finally able to print.

New Leopard Printer Driver update ( running Leopard OSX 10.5.8 )

Yesterday I downloaded several updates online , one of which was a Print Driver update suggested by Apple . Today every time I try to print on my HP 310 , I get an error message ( bouncing HP Icon ) indicating that the printer is Offline . However when I activate the HP Print Quality Diagnostic Report from the computer , it prints fine via my Airport Network . Going to the printer's screen and running the Wireless Network Test Report , the printer reports excellent signal strength and no issues .
Is this new updated Printer Driver buggy ?
BTW , I also have Snow Leopard on an external drive . If I start up my iMac from that drive , the printer works fine printing the same file from my desktop .

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

Software Update printer driver update for HP causes an extra page to print that just has "2345X" printed on it.

A few days ago, Software Update showed a printer driver update for HP so I installed it. Now, after everything that I print, I get an extra page that just has "2345X" printed on it. I tried reinstalling the driver update but still get the extra page. Anyone know how to get stop this extra pgae from printing?

Hello charliemun,
What I suggest is to reset the print system, click the link below to proceed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
Once you have reset the print system please make sure you are selecting the HP Driver and not the Airprint driver (see picture below)
Please let me know if this has resolved the error of the extra page with the numbers on it, or if you require more assistance.
Thanks,

Problem with Latest Epson Printer Driver Update

I installed the Epson printer driver update that came out today, but it made absolutely no difference. My Epson printer is still using a the same old Epson driver plus Gutenprint. There is no other option. I don't get it. What's the point of installing the update if the printer is still stuck with Gutenprint? My printer (Epson Stylus Photo R340) is supported according to Apple's list.

Thanks for that tip, John. I found the "Epson SP R340 series" driver by searching for it as you suggested.
Happy to help Alan.
HOWEVER, I cannot print with this driver. I get the following error message when I try to print:
Error: Library/Printers/EPSON/InketPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS/r astertoescpll failed
This seems common with the Epson drivers, there are several posts here with that problem. Some users have had success deleting the printer from Print & Fax Prefs and adding it again using the Epson (non-Gutenprint) driver. Others have had to delete the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders, re-download the update, then re-add the printer.
I would try the first one first since it's the easiest and you already have the update installed. If that doesn't work, the second should.
Hope this helps.

Epson print driver update

Running S L.
When installing accidentally updated Epson print drivers.
Does anyone know of how to remove this update - as now use Canon printer.

For some reason the +Epson Printer Driver Update+ and +HP Printer Driver Update+ seem to be 'sticky' in the Software Update list under Snow Leopard. They often remain in the list even after you install them.
When you run Software Update, just uncheck them so you don't re-install them.
And BTW, turn off automatic software updates. Do them manually & selectively.

Is anyone having problems with the new Xerox printer driver update from Apple? My 8700S is no longer working with QuarkXPress.

I allowed a System Update that included a Xerox Printer update. I am running a MacPro 10.6.8 with Quark 8.5.1 and a Xerox ColorQube 8700S. EVERY was working perfectly before the "update" but afterwards anything sent to the printer from Quark would stall the printer. I went to the Xerox website and downloaded their Printer Driver and tried again. Now I could print from Quark but I can NOT get to the printer window to change the type of paper, etc. So, the problem still persists.
Should I try going into Time Machine and trying to find the Xerox Print Driver in the Library folder?
Should I upgrade the whole system software? (I wouldn't mind doing that AFTER I get this magazine off to the commerical printer)
Should I upgrade to Quark 9?
Any help here would be apprciated.
Thanks - Rob

As a general rule of thumb, I never install updates until I read its info and I am having problems with my current software. I hide the updates until I need them. Usually this happens when I update or upgrade my os. I don't fix what ain't broken is my golden rule.
It is possible that you need to update or upgrade Quark in order for your newer printer driver to work. First I would try the following....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
If your printer does not work afterwards, update or upgrade Quark. If that does not work, contact the printer manufacturer.

Printer Driver Updates, How Often? (Canon MP560 is 3 months behind)

I have a new iMac 27" with Snow Leopard and a new Canon MP560 printer hooked up via Wifi.
I didn't use the Canon install disk because it didn't have Snow Leopard compatible drivers on it...instead I went to print & Fax and did an "add printer" (it detected just the MP560 scanner). Then I did an apple "software update" which grabbed the new Canon driver package, after that the printer showed up and all was well.
HOWEVER, I noticed that the driver from apple is version 10.26.0 while Canon's latest is 10.26.1 (as of October 2). I don't mind downloading drivers from Canon and installing them but I'm wondering about a few things.
1. How long does it usually take for manufacturers drivers to get to Apple's update server? 3 months seems like a long time.
2. If I manually install drivers from Canon now, will future driver updates from Apple's server still be detected and install properly?
3. In "print & fax" under "options and supplies" I can see the driver version for the printer. However there doesn't seem to be any way to see the version for the scanner driver. According to the Canon site the scanner driver has a different version than the printer driver. How can I see the version number for the scanner driver to check if it's up to date?
I'm mainly interested in an answer to #3 above. Canon has a CUPS printer driver, a scanner driver, an ICA driver and an "MP driver" all for OSX 10.6 I'd like to know how to find out which ones are already installed before I install new ones.
System profiler only seems to show the CUPS driver version.
Thanks!

Printer manufacturers must deliver drivers to Apple if they are to be included with an OS X distribution. As for Canon's version branding you would need to ask them since Apple does not produce printer drivers except for Apple-made printers, and Apple doesn't make printers anymore.
If newer drivers become available for an installed printer then Software Update will download them only if they are available through an Apple update.
Since scanner drivers are not the same as printer drivers and a manufacturer may have more updates for one than the other, don't expect to find version numbers to be the same.
Scanner modules may be in many different locations. Download Easy Find - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and use it to locate the scanner software files for your model.

HP printer driver update broke my printers!

The printer driver that apple rolled out in the last week has broken every printer in our office from printing. How the **** can this happen? I tell you how, some little jerk isn't doing their job. I now have 11 printers down that will not print, all Photosmart 7850's. We didn't need a lion driver update why was it pushed to 10.6 users? You can't go download a driver from HP because they say OS X already has one, we do it doesn't work. Thanks apple my company is having a meeting Monday about switching back to the PC platform after years of getting them off the PC crack.

You concluded they have no "viable bootable backup/clone or a tested Time Machine backup" before they installed "stuff" (who knew? stuff is now a technical term ) how? I would love to know where you purchased your mind reading software, it must be quite nifty! Thanks for contributing so Much to the conversation on a thread that's a year old, I'm confident we all appreciate your efforts. By all means wish the Three Billy Goats Gruff our best
After some serious tenacity calling apple I did finally have a conversation with an engineer in which I sent several logs to her from the machines this original update caused the bug with. This triggered a change in HT3669 to resolve the issue for the 7580x series by removing it from HT3669 until HP found a solution. HP was very good at responding quickly to the issue, it was eairly this year by the time I spoke with this very nice and helpful engineer. A new update was pushed in early Q1 of 2012 for the 7580x series that worked as it should have upon release for us and our clients who were experiencing this issue. It effected a wide array of apple users in our area because the 7580x series was a one of the free printer offerings included with a new Macintosh purchase from the apple store and the apple store online.
As far as the new driver we too leaned our lesson and didn't deploy it. The Lion driver functions properly on the two machines we've upgraded to Mountain Lion just as the Snow leopard driver originally did on Lion when it was released.

HT3669 Epson printer driver update for 10.8.5

Apple lists "software available" to update my Epson Artisan 50 printer driver to version 9.0. However, when I do an Apple software update the printer is not listed and does not update. Epson website says all updates must be done through Apple. I just recently got a new iMac with Mountain Lion and switched the printer from my old 10.4 iMac. It no longer prints colors accurately so after going through all the standard "fixes" with Epson I hoped a driver update would help. Any ideas?

sorry - it is HP Photosmart D110a. the HP website says that there is no additional software other than the Apple update:
"With the release of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, HP is providing updated print drivers and software for your printer. These updates are available through Apple Software Update . You do not need to download a driver from HP to use your printer with Mountain Lion."

What functionality is available in the HP driver update through Apple Software Update?
Depending on the printer functionality , one or more of the following software components might be included in the HP driver update for Mountain Lion:
HP print driver
HP fax driver
HP Utility
HP scanning files compatible with Apple’s Image Capture and Preview applications
