Insalled 10.4.4 and now can't print

I had two printers installed on my PowerMac G5, a Samsung ML-1740 and an HP 2600 Photosmart. After I installed 10.4.4 today when I attempted to print to either they would just hang.
I finally reset my printing system and reinstalled drivers for both printers. Print Utility doesn't find either driver so I can't add them!
Please help me restore my printing capability!
Thanks,
--Steve Bayle

Finally resolved this issue via Ken and Nick at Applecare. The printer driver that 10.4.4 was looking for on the HP6800 series deskjet was 2.7.1 - what was installed was 2.6 so once we went out and updated that - everything's Archie
This was my first experience with AppleCare and it was a decent experience. The first tier support (Ken) was very thorough in eliminating the obvious. It did take awhile which included going back to the install disk and doing a repair disk process.
Once Ken eliminated the obvious and simple he brought in a product specialist (Nick) who returned me to the install disk and determined that the specified driver should be 2.7.1 not 2.6
He took me thru the steps to get that driver added and the printer was now operational.
Did I say I was happy? I also have the case number in case it jumps the track again so that we don't have to start at the very beginning.
Hope this info helps someone else along the way . . . .

    I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
    I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and now can't print wirelessly

    Upgraded my 1yr old Mac Pro to Yosemite and now can't print wirelessly to my Epson XP-405 through my wireless home hub! I've tried re-installing new printer drivers etc, throwing away preferences etc... these sometimes work for a single print then goes back to "Printer can't be found". My older iMac doesn't seem to have this problem (yet - fingers crossed!) and prints ok on exactly the same wireless network.
    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

  • Turned Firewall on and now can't print wirelessly

    I have 2 new macbook pros. Have been printing wirelessly fine. Decided to turn firewall on and now neither will print wirelessly. Turned firewall off and rebooted. FInally, after several tries of deleting and adding the printer, I finally got it added back. However, when I try and print here is the error message it get:
    Error: /Library/Printers/Konica_Minolta?mc2450DL/rastertokm2430dl.app/
    Contents/MacOs/rastertokm2430dlfailed
    What the heck? Just by turning the firewall on and off I get this mess? HElp???

  • I've updated Time Capsule firmware and now can't print wirelessly

    I have recently updated my Time Capsule to Firmware 7.6.2 and now my computer no longer sees my Brother MFC9320-CW either wirelessly or via ethernet.  I am able to hook the printer up to the Time Capsule's USB port and print in that way.
    The printer does not retrive a DHCP address either wired or wirelessly, and when I set it staticly, it still does not respond to a ping.  I hope I'm barking up the right tree here, as the firmware update on the time capsule is the only thing I can think of (aside from a network card failure on the printer, which its diagnostics insist is not the case) that is causing this.
    My next step will be to set up a test WiFi network with a third-party router to remove the printer (network card failure option) from the equation.

    To Downgrade Your Time Capsule Firmware:
    Open Airport Utility: Applications → Utilities → Airport Utility
    Find your device in the left-hand column and select the “Manual Setup” button
    In the “Summary” window that pops up click on the word “Version”
    In the pop up box that comes up next to the “Upload Version” select the previous version
    Click “OK”
    Your Time Capsule will restart and be as good as new!

  • Updated iPad to iOS 7 and now can't print to printer?

    iPad connected with printer prior to updating to iOS 7, now can't find it.  Turned printer on/off, moved closer to printer and tried again.  Help!?!

    Hey KTonn,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with AirPrint. The following article provides relevant troubleshooting steps:
    AirPrint Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
    Verify that the printer:
    1. Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    2. Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    3. Has the latest firmware version installed.
    4. Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    5. Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.
    Notes:
    - AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    - Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    in Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed
    Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
    So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
    Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

  • I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

    I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

    Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
    Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
    If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
    In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

  • Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

    Help!  What should I do???
    Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta.  I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names.  I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process.  Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them.  Any thoughts on an easy fix?
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    Thanks so much for helping me with this.
    I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
    group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem.  Now that I look at the
    import settings that were used:
    1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
    also renamed.
    2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
    Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
    changed LR4 names.
    1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
    1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
    1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2

    I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
    original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
    imported yesterday and are renamed.
    Thanks again,

  • I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

    I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
    At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
    You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
    In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.

    My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over.  I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

    There is no such thing as a "sub-account."  Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account."  Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases.  iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account).  You'll need to clarify...
    So, this is what I think you are saying.  You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend.  Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library. 
    You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library.  Is that on a different computer?  How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
    You got a new iPod.  What is your "old iTunes"?  Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?
