IMac won't print to HP 7130

I can't say my HP7130 and iMac have been great from the start, the queue has often stopped for no reason and failed to restart despite being asked to do so. An iMac restart usually moved the queue but no more!
I cannot get the print queue to move; the printer is there, the iMac sees it but every job just stops and sits there. HP driver reinstalled from original CD and from download but no effect.
Any help? PLEASE!
Terminal gives me:

I had the same problem with my macbook and the 7130. I had to clear the queue manually and then reboot both the macbook and printer. I have had to do this on a few occassions, but I am not sure the cause. Hope this helps if you hadn't figured it out yet.

Imac won't print to epson 1270

My imac won't print, stating that there is not enough RAM.
It is running 640mb, 100% of which is available to Photoshop.
This happens to both the 1270 and my R200. the OS is 10.3.9.
My ibook is more than happy to print to both printers despite only having 128mb of Ram!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Gari
G3 ibook/OS10.2.7, G3 imac/OS10.3.9 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You're Welcome Gari!
The driver on the disc may be outdated. Did you uninstall the older driver before trying to install the newer, downloaded one?
If nothing else resolves the problem, and you need help doing that, I can post the instructions.
"...stating that there is not enough RAM."
OS X uses Dynamic Memory Allocation, so I am puzzled that you are getting that message.
What is the exact error message?
How much of the RAM is original, and how much is added?
Is Classic running when you are trying to print?
Do the printers function from any applications, other than Photoshop?
You can also use Rember to test your RAM.
"My ibook is more than happy to print to both printers..."
Are you printing from Photoshop with the iBook?
Have you deleted the printers from the Printer List in Printer Setup Utility, and then re-added them?
Have you trashed the printer & Photoshop pref files from:
HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences: HERE?
Sorry for all of the questions. I'm just trying to explore all of the possibilities, to get a better understanding of the situation.

IMac won't print to Dell B1160W

I have just bought a new Dell B1160W.
My sisters iMac (identical to mine but she has an earlier OS X) can print fine, but whenever I try to print - it says "Printing - Printer is ready to print", the printer wakes up, but then an error message - "Printing - Print file was not accepted"
This message comes up regardless of what I try to print.
I have sent all of these docs, to my sister, and then she can print them no problem!
I assume the issue is with with OS X Version 10.8.4 as its obviously not the iMac itself, and the printer works just fine with her iMac and with my PC.
Any ideas how to resolve?

Hi ..
I tried finding printer drivers for you to download from the Dell site but nothing for the B116OW comes up \from a search on their site > Product Selection | Dell
Maybe you'll have better luck.
What you need to do is download drivers that are compatible with Mac OS X v10.8.
Then open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
Then click + to add the printer.

IMac won't print black on EPSON or HP Printer

I have had a reoccuring problem where my iMac (Intel) running Mac OS X 10.8 will not print black type on my HP printer. First, I assumed it was an ink issue, and replaced the black ink cartridge. The problem remained. I downloaded new drivers and installed and still had the same problem. Cleaned heads, and still discovered black type will not print, while full-color images do. It got to the point where I assumed my printer was broken. So, I bought a new EPSON printer to replace it and am having the same problem. Re-installed EPSON drivers. Etc.
Now I have discovered if I save a file as a screenshot (PNG) it will print black. But will not print black off the Web, Numbers, Pages, etc.
Here's the kicker - I tried to print off my MacBook Air and encountered the same problem. Is the issue the printer or the OS?
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ANY IDEAS AS TO WHY THIS WOULD BE?
The only thing common between the two printers is they both printed wirelessly.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

IMac won't print over IP on Dell 3100cn laser printer

I have an iMac with Lion and can't get it to print using an IP address. I can connect it via usb and it will print, but when I set it up using the IP address I get the following message "The optical photoconductor needs to be replaced". I've updated relevant software, deleted and readded the printer, but nothing seems to work. Anyone have a suggestion?

Please see this thread
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16000090#16000090
This issue is ongoing and not related to your printer but with the printing subsystem of MacOS, it has been reported and hopefully a fix is in the works.
I also see you have been able to print now. The Dell 3100CN only supports printing by LPD under MacOS.

IMAC won't print, MSG says no themes available

When in IPHOTO, it will not print a picture. A window opens that says "no theme available."
LKB

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

IMac won't print microsoft word doc "open with" apple pages

When its set to open with pages it just freezes the pages program and wont print. If I set it to open with textedit or some other program then it will print. Note, if I open it first with pages then it will print from within pages. It just wont print using file > print from the apple menu. Whats the fix for this? Currently I have it set to open all word docs in LibreOffice in order to print docs with ease. But I would rather use apple pages app.

I felt i had to come to help you if your problem was not solved.
I've a customer who just came up with this problem. He is using Office 2003 on Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits. He is using also a Color LaserJet 2600n. We just reinstalled his software on a new computer and we started experiencing "Current Printer Is Unavailable" in Excel. When trying to access Page Setup, it was also giving us that same message, and
then we had a dialog listing every computer available.
We produced a PDF, tried to print from Acrobat Reader, it crashed too the same way you mentionned.
Here's what happenned:
We first installed the driver available from HP web site
We did some updates from Microsoft Web Site. There was an optional hardware update for the LaserJet 2600n, so we installed it. This update is completely {Language Filter Evasion}
Uninstall your printer driver (well, just remove it from your printer list)
Then reinstall it. In our case, it was accessed thru IP.
When it was installing, it asked us to keep the same driver or REPLACE the driver... pick-up REPLACE the driver!
And you are good to go...

I can't connect my canon mp160 to my new apple iMac desktop. It just won't print although it comes up as the printer. there is no driver for this from canon who states that I probably don't need a driver for this

I can't connect my canon xp160 to my new IMAC. It does recognize it but won't print. there is no driver for this as per Canon and they state that I may not need one. thanks!1

If you want to print, then you will need a printer driver. There is no printer driver available from Apple for the MP160. And the last driver that Canon released for this model was for OS X 10.7. You may be able to install this 10.7 driver, although it is not digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block the installation. To get past Gatekeeper, you can hold down the Control key and click on the installer. A pop-up menu will appear. Select Open. You will then be given the option to install the old driver.
With the driver installed, add the printer via Printers & Scanners and see if you can print.

I'm new to the Mac world. I installed my Epson printer on my IMAC and it worked fine. Then I installed Windows7 through Bootcamp and I think it reconfigured a port and now I get a communication error and it won't print. Any help on how do to fix this?

Sorry, I'm new to the Mac world. I recently got a new IMAC and installed my Epson CX5800F printer and it worked fine. Then a few weeks later I installed Windows7 through Bootcamp and I think it reconfigured a port or something and now I get a communication error and it won't print. Can anyone help me with this problem, and/or help me get the port back the way it was? Thanks, Barry

IMac won't connect to network laser printer

Hi,
I've recently purchased a new 27" iMac 3.4 GHz with 16 GB RAM running OS 10.6.8. Everything has been running smoothly until this morning when I accidently switched off my HP LaserJet 4000n. After I turned it back on, I found that I could no longer print from the iMac to the Lasterjet any more. So, (stupidly) I thought I'd remove to printer from the Fax / Printer selection in System preferences and simply click + to add new printer and reinstrall the HP LaserJet 4000n. But here's the problem, my new iMac won't let me add a new printer because it can't find the HP LaserJet. I have tried everything. I even got a message saying the Appletalk was not turned on - interesting as 10.6.8 doesn't have appletalk any more. I did however find that Appletalk had been switched off on the G5, so I clicked it back on, but i still couldn't locate the HP LaserJet on the iMac. I can get the iMac to print if I connect to the HP LaserJet 4000n as a shaed prionter by turning on the G5 and using the Bonjour shared prointer facility, but I got the imac so I could sell the G5. I don't want to have to keep turning on another computer just to print off a recipe for chicken soup.
I spent about 6 hours on the phone to Apple support today with an elevated support person, but even they gave up in the end after we had tried everything. I even tried to copy the system file to another HD to see if I booted up just form the system if it would connect to the printer in the absence of all applications, but couldn't as i kept getting an error type 8003 message about 45 seconds into the copy process. As you may imagine I am seriously frustrated and not a little pee'd off.
Any clues as to what's happening, and also, how come the Apple support guy didn't ask me if i had backed everything up on Time Machine - which I do. Odd.
It's probably too late fore that option now anyway as he got me to renew the DHCP leases - so my router will have different numbers now.

I'm using the same printer with my late 2010 iMac (3.2GHz i3, 27") running OS X 10.6.7.
Took me a long while to get it to work, because I'd had it set up to work with my G4 running OS 9 via AppleTalk, and the iMac needs to connect via IP.
The setup that finally worked for me -
In the Print/Fax control pane in System Preferences, click the add button. In the Add Printer window, click the IP item in the header bar. In the new screen -
Protocol - set to "HP JetDirect - Socket"
Address: enter the IP address of the printer. If you don't already have that, you need to get it from the printer itself. To do that, use the "Menu" and "Item" buttons on the printer to step through the various offerings until you get to the Configuration page - select to print that page. The printer's IP address will be included on that page.
The IP address was not included on that page when I first printed the page. I think this was because it had originally been set up to use AppleTalk. The solution was to do a Cold Reset of the printer. To do that, turn the printer off. Hold the Go button down and turn it back on. Release the Go button when you see resetting activity in the message screen on the printer. Once I did that, the next time I printed the Configuration page the IP address was included.
Leave the rest of the Add Printer screen blank.
That should take care of it.

Won't print through Window XP on iMac with Bootcamp

Installed Bootcamp and Windows. I can access Internet ok, but it won't print via wireless Airport. Try to print but nothing happens. Help!

I just purchased a new G5 iMac (PowerPC) with OS 10.4.4 installed. My problem seems to mirror yours, i.e. totally erratic printing of Web pages from Safari. Printing in other apps. seems fine (AppleWorks, etc.). My HP 6100 series printer doesn't have this problem when connected to an iBook OS 10.2.8. I downloaded the most recent software version on the HP website (7.7.2) assuming that there would be a properly functioning driver in this. No dice - still unable to print from Safari. HP online support site was dismissive; worse, I paid HP for tech help which vowed the download would work. The whole experience has been disheartening. Have you been able to get anywhere? Thanks.

IPhoto says themes are missing and it won't print. All the support says to reload the application but I didn't get disks with the iMac. What do I do now.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g won't print from applications from IMac OS 10.7.5

Just had a software update today, now it won't print from applications (Excel, Word, etc). I've done all the troubleshooting in the exact orders and have also shut everything down, reinstalled, turned off router, etc. Don't know what else to do. Prints out printer status report, Wireless network test results shows that no problems found, congratulation on the successful setup of your wireless printer. IP addresses on wireless and printer are similar. Looked all over forum, but couldn't find a solution. Printer is not even 2 months old. Doesn't make sense. Seemed to stop printing after we used the scanner, not sure if that is an issue for any reason. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Epson Artisan 835 won't print on my iMac.

My Epson Artisan 835 printer isn't working with my iMac. I have it connected via a USB cable but it's also a wireless printer. My Dell laptop prints to it just fine wirelessly but my iMac sees the printer but when I print says "not connected".
The printer icon jumps up and down at the bottom of the screen and there is a yellow icon that looks a little like a lightning bolt. I don't know what that icon means.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5.
Ideally I'd like to run it connected via USB as I think I'll have more functionality with the scanning feature if it's hard-wired.

Reset your printing system, as per > How to reset the printing system
