Installed 10.5.7 and cannot print from Brother printers

I installed the 10.5.7 software update the other day and now cannot print from my Brother MFC 5860CN or MFC-7220. I'm very frustrated because my business has come to a complete halt. I've gone to the Brother site and installed additional drivers, but still having no success.
The 5860CN error message is that the printer is 'offline' and the 7220 error message is either 'raster file failed' or 'genericclass: waiting for device'. Printing does not work on either Safari or Firefox.

1 turn the printer off.
2 remove the power plug
3 remove the Ethernet cable.
4 clear the print setup on the Mac
5 restart the Mac
6 plug in the printer's power
7 plug in the printer's Ethernet
8 turn the printer on
9 locate the printer using the Brother Control Center utility. Verify that it has a valid IP address. If possible, set it to a fixed IP address _outside of the DHCP pool assigned by your router_. (You do have a router, right?) Please note that a 169.254.x.y address is not a valid IP address.
10 set up the printer from Print & Fax.

I have the kindle app on my iPad. I downloaded a kindle version of a songbook. I would like to print out a few pages of the music. I cannot download the file to my computer and cannot print from the iPad as the page format does not allow it.

How can I print out a few pages of a kindle ebook (music) from my iPad.
How can I download this book to my iMac from the iPad. It is NOT in my e books library, but I can only access it from my kindle app.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

One work around is, if the Kindle app allows, make a screen cap of the page and print that.
Hold down the sleep and home keys and relase them together....kinda like you'd press the shutter of a camera, a joint quick down and up
You'll see a white flash and hear a shutter sound. Then look in your photos app and you'll see the images. You can print them just like you'd print a photo.

I Cannot print from imac iPhoto 9.6 using Yosemite 10.10.1to Epson printer? How do I fix this problem?

I Updated my iMac to Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot print from iPhoto 9.6 to my Epson picture mate PM240 photo printer. I had no problem printing before the upgrade. It seems like I don't have a connection between the iMac and Epson Printer. I checked all connections and they are correct. I visited the Epson site and there were no updates available for the PM240. The problem arises after I select a picture to print. When I select PRINT from the FILE the spinning color wheel begins and I cannot go further.
I Contacted Apple and the technical adviser ran the iPhoto troubleshooting programs within IPhoto. This seemed to solve the problem, but the problem almost immediately reocurred. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks for the replies guys. Epson put me through a complex set of instructions to install an earlier driver. The problem was not solved. Apple also tried to solve the provlem by getting rid of the printer, unplugging it etc and then re starting and checking computer/printer communication by printing a test page from the system preferences/Pring & Fax options. This worked proving the the computer and printer are talking to each other.
The printer works properly as a stand alone unit. That is, I can copy and print and scan and print with no problems.
The Apple support guy didn't suggest any Apple alternative drivers so I assume there aren't any.
Neither the Epson nor Apple assistants seemed interested in the printer generated error message. I would have thought it would at least provide a clue to the problem to someone with technical expertise.
It seems that there are a lot of problems with the 10.6.8 update so maybe Apple will get to work and bring it up to scratch. I hope it gets things right soon.

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64
Attempting unsuccessfully to print to Epson 3880
What Adobe support will be of help.

Hi voltric2014,
If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

I cannot print from web pages with mozilla, can print from internet explorer and all other programs. I have a Cannon Imageclass MF8100.

I cannot print from any web pages with Mozilla as my browser. The printer gives me a blank page. I can print from internet explorer and all other programs. I have a
Cannon Imageclass MF8100 printer. I spoke to Cannon as I thought it was a Cannon issue and it is not.

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

HP F2210 printer, wired LAN, cannot print from iMac when printer is installed on Windows XP.

Let's try this again...
I have a home network, and have installed my newly purchased HP F2210 printer on one of the PC's running Windows XP SP3. I have fully installed & updated the drivers, and the printing functions work perfectly from the computer on which it's installed.
I am also able to print without issue from any other PC running windows on my network.
My wife has an iMac running Macintosh OS 10.4.11. When connecting directly to the network via a wired connection, I am unable to locate the F2210 as an available printer on the network.
Troubleshooting steps taken:
* I have tried disabling airport to ensure it's trying to find the printer through the wired connection rather than the wireless.
* I have attempted to install "additional drivers" on the PC the printer is connected to. THIS FAILED, as I was unable to get windows to find the correct drivers on the install disk.
* I attempted to install the printer drivers directly on the iMac. I was still unable to locate the printer after doing this.
Any suggestions for other steps to try would be appreciated.

Hi there, when you check the printer job history in your ePrintCenter account what do you see? Is there a record of the failed print jobs? Here's a link to a post with some troubleshooting steps for ePrint connectivity issues. Take a look at the suggestions here and try them in the order they are presented http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/ePrint-Apps-Connectivity-Troubleshooting-Pleas...

I have a brother mfc-j625dw and it's in the list of AirPrint printers under brother in the iOS: AirPrint 101 website but I cannot print from my ipad2. Who will i beleive, the website or brother? I checked the iOS AirPrint 101 website first before I bought my brother printer model to make sure that AirPrint is available but it does not work. Of course the brother printer salesman said that my model can do ipad2 AirPrint just to sell the unit. So I made sure that it is possible first so I went to check it in iOS AirPrint website and when I saw the model in the list, I bought the brother printer immediately. Why?

You're sure that you set the printer up correctly?
Did you try restarting the printer and the iPad?
Have you looked for a firmware update for the printer on the Brother website?
Does the printer work with your computer - assuming that you have a computer that is?

I have a B210 printer and cannot print 4 X 6 from my computer either Adobe, HP essentials or Kodak i

I have a b210 printer and cannot print 4 X 6 from my computer other than Snapfish. I have photos either on Adobe 8; scanned to myu HP Essentials or kodak. Even though I have paper that will fit in the printer. How can I rememdy this.

Hi, Matty. Select Page Setup from iPhoto's File menu, select your printer, and choose 4x6 as the paper size. I believe the Print dialog box governs what size the image is printed at, but the Page Setup dialog governs which paper tray is used. I don't have a printer that can use 4x6 paper, so I can't test this suggestion myself. Hope it works for you.

I cannot print from Sharp 2610 after installing Yosemite

I cannot print from Sharp 2610 after installing Yosemite from my MacBook Pro. How can i get this to work?

Is there anything in "All Messages" or /var/log/cups/error_log in /Utilities/Console? Is there an updated driver? Do you get this problem printing form all apps or just Apple apps?

Suddenly I cannot print from firefox. It was printing one day and would not communicate with the printer the next.

Suddenly I cannot print any web pages from Firefox. It was printing one day and not communicating with the printer the next. Did not happen with an upgrade to Firefox or plugins. Printer dialog came up but nothing sent to printer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== suddenly- no known reason

I cannot print from Firefox either all of a sudden. Maybe first thing in the AM, it will print something but then, that's it. I am running OX 10.5 too and using Firefox 3.6.8. I am ready to stop using this!! I like it but it is frustrating. I am on my mac all day for work and cannot find a solution to this Firefox problelm. Maybe Mozilla can help me. Anyone have any answers? I use a HP Laserjet 2300L.
Thanks.

Cannot print from hp DeskJet F4580

I have just bought my first MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.4. Great computer.
However I cannot print from the wireless hp printer. I downloaded the latest driver from hp (maybe a fault) and started to install. Everything went as expected untill the setup process of the Printer Queue. Here I add the printer in order to create the Printer Queue, but when I click on the continue buttom I get this warning: Are you sure you want to continue without adding a Print Queue? I finished the installation with a congratulation sign.
Therefore there is no doubt, that the printer queue is missing. However I cannot found out to install the printer queue.
The printer is a socalled all-in-one printer. The scanner function is perfect with the wireless connection. But not the printer function.
I have also tried to connect via usb cabel. The result is the same. Scanner okay. Printer not okay.
The printer works perfect under Windows.
I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.
Erik

I'm having the same problem ! The wireless printing works using OS 10.5 on a G4 PowerBook but not OS 10.6 on an intel MacBook. I'm going to get in touch with HP as have used the latest drivers (as you have) - I've re-installed the HP software using Software Update for the latest version - still can't print. USB printing is also faulty so must be their drivers.
I'll let you know if I have any luck !

My Cox Cable/Telephone splits to a telephone modem and a broadband modem. The BB connects via ethernet to a Cisco Linksys E2500 wi-fi (whatever). Can I plug my usb printer into the E2500, configure, and then print from my iPad?

I have just purchased an iPad 2. I have wi-fi for roku and have connected the iPad to it. I want to print to my usb printer. My connection is: Cox Cable spit to telephone and broadband. The broad band feed goes to a Cox modem and feeds the wi-fi. The Cisco Linksys E2500, wi-fi's the Roku and iPad. Can I USB from the wi-fi to the printer, configure (however), and then print from my iPad?
If not, how?
All comments will be appreciated.
Alan G. Watkins

the ipad cannot airprint to a non airprint printer.... i think that the only solution is to install helper software on a computer that has an attached printer and share it through the computer only...computer would have to be always left on

Cannot print from Firefox

For some time now I cannot print from Firefox. I thought it might be a glitch after an update, but have updated again since and it still does not work. If I try to print to a printer, nothing happens. If choose print and then save to PDF it seems to work, but then when I try to open the file I get an error message from Adobe saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.". On the other hand, I can print and save to PDF from Safari without any problem. I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 6.0.2.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
Please do a CLEAN install:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Cannot print from Safari Textedit Preview on Dell Printer

After installing 10.6.1 I cannot print anymore from Safari, Textedit, and Preview on my Dell DN1700 USB laser printer (running on the 'generic postscript' printer driver). It seems that I can print from other software (iWorks, MS Office etc...). When trying to print from the three programs, I get the printer window, but after clicking 'print' it does not print, but all pull down menus on the print window go blank, and the cancel button does not work either (i.e. the only way out is to quit the program with ctrl-Q. Any workarounds? Thanks!

It is good not to be alone...;-). I also noticed some more, possibly related, problems: When using the quick view feature in mail to look at attachments, I cannot quickview Microsoft docs anymore. The screen just shows the "wait symbol" (the rotating flower pattern or whatever one may call it) and nothing happens ad infinitum. PDF still works.
With regard to the printer issue I noticed that when I go home and hook the computer up to a HP printer over ethernet, the issue goes away. Out of a sudden I can print from safari/mail/textedit/preview. Back at work, as soon as the computer notices the presence of the Dell printer, the problem is back on.
