Installed Ghostscript 8.70 and now cannot print

I installed (via download and then make install) Ghostscript 8.70. After this, my printer driver to my KonicaMinolta Magicolor 2530DL would crash, generating an "Empty print file!" error when running lpstat -p (and causing the printer to get "pause"d. "Resume"ing the printer would cause it to get paused again immediately when the printer driver would crash again. I tried to then install Ghostscript 8.61 and then 8.64, but now I get "Copying Print Data..." and the job stays active forever. I know that CUPS uses Ghostscript. Is there a version of ghostscript that I can install that will restore my 10.6 system to where it was before I apparently overwrote a good ghostscript install with 8.70? I would have to restore my macbook to 10.5 and then upgrade to 10.6 to get it restored, which would take a lot of time. Does anyone know what version of ghostscript is used in 10.6.2 snow leopard? I have CUPS 1.4.2 on the macbook.

I've been using the 10.5 driver for the 2430DL. It has worked just fine for 10.6 and 10.5.
Have you tried the 10.6 driver for the 2430DL in Snow Leopard?
Its rastertokm2430dl driver must call ghostscript, because that's when the trouble started. The crashreporter would report a crash when 8.70 was installed. The error changed when 8.64 was installed. When I look in /usr/libexec/cups/filter directory, all files were updated Dec 30th, 2009.
As I mentioned in my first reply, certain applications that send PostScript output to the printing system (almost all applications send PDF to the printing system) may use Ghostscript instead of the pstops filter Apple supplies. Ghostscript is not a requirement of the 2430DL driver on Mac OS X and Ghostscript is not a requirement for CUPS on Mac OS X.
What happens if you uninstall Ghostscript? I downloaded and installed the 10.6 driver for the 2430DL and set up a printer to print-to-file. I printed a PDF from Preview. My installed version of Ghostscript was not called during the printing process.
And is there a way to see what libraries are used (similar to ldd) for the driver?

For the 10.6 driver for the 2430 this produces
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">$ otool -L /Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/mc2430DL/Filter/rastertokm2430dl.app/Contents/M acOS/rastertokm2430dl

</pre>
I would suggest that you update to the newer 2430DL driver and remove Ghostscript. Then see if you have the same problems.

  • Installed ePrint on Officejet 6700, now cannot print wirelessly

    Greetings,
    We have beenprinting wirelessly with our Officejet 6700 for quite some time. This morning the HP Connect/ePrint feature was installed...now we cannot print to the computer wirelessly. I have turned off the ePrint functionality on the printer, shut down and restarted...still not able to print.
    Looking for suggestions, or a way to delete the eprint functionality.
    Much obliged...

    Hello Bugaloo911,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Sorry to hear about the Officejet 6700 now being unable to wirelessly since you setup the ePrint portion of the printer. What is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac? Also, what happens when you try to print? For example, is there an error or message of any kind on the computer?
    Setting up ePrint should not have made any changes to the printers ability to wirelessly print via a computer connection. Does the printer still show a connection to the network? If you are not sure, touch the wireless icon from the printer home screen and then Print Wireless Test Report. If there is no connection, run the Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Try running the HP Print and Scan Dr on the computer, if using a Windows computer.
    Once the printer is working again on the computer we can look into re-setting up ePrint for you.

  • Upgraded to snow leopard and now cannot print

    I purchased an iPhone 4S which forced me to upgrade to snow leopard. I have two Epson printers and an Epson scanner.  Now I cannot print.
    I downloaded Epson updates for the new system from the Apple website hoping that would solve the problem.  It did not.
    Current print issues:
    The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
    I cannot print :  Error:/System/Library/Printers/Printjobmgr/Contents/MacOS
    Any suggestions on what to do next?  This is very frustrating. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Open the System Preferences program and select the Print tab. Delete the printers and then try installing the printers again.
    I don't know what you mean by:
    The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
    If this persists you might want to take screenshots and include them.

  • Recently installed Snow Leopard software and now my printer will not respond. Any suggestions?

    I recently installed Snow Leopard. Now my printer will not respond. How do I troubleshoot that?

    Start by telling readers the make&model of your printer, and what cabling you are using to connect it.
    If you were connecting via AppleTalk, it is no longer supported, and you will need a different connection method. Readers can help you with that.
    Some printers will need updated Drivers for Snow Leopard. Some printers need to be deleted and re-added.

  • Installed Maverick, updated it and now cannot start up.

    Very disappointed, I never thought apple will come out with such OS that has not stable yet. Install maverick last night and already had problem downloading it, but it's alright when I re-download it. This morning when I updated it, it boots up and went to log in page, after typed my password, I just stuck there for 30 minutes, I forced it shut down and restart but won't work, I even went into hardware check and everything seems fine. I start it up again and it say in the loading page for 45 minutes till now. Mine is early 2012 MacBook Pro 13 inches

    Try to reset your password at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) as described in this document:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    What if I forget my Apple ID password?
    If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
    If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.

  • Installed 3.6.8 and now cannot switch from one open tab to another

    my home page automatically opens 4 tabs, I updated to 3.6.8 on my mac laptop. Now when the tabs are open I cannot go from one open tab to another even though the tabs are still up.

    Download iTunes from Apple's web site and install it.  Don't use Software Update.

  • I upgraded from OS 10.4.11 to 10.6.8 and now cannot print to my Epson Stylus Photo RX595. When I try, I recieve the following error message: Error:/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed. Is this a driver issue?

    Is my inability to print from my Intel iMac with OS 10.6.8 related to a driver problem? I checked the Epson website for up-to-date drivers, but they appear to only have print drivers good through OS 10.5x. I did the Apple software update yesterday so everything is up-to-date. Is there no support for the Epson RX545 under OS 10.6x?

    When you upgrade from a previous OS there is always a chance that you will bring some setting that is not compatible with the new OS. This can be the driver as noondaywitch suggests but it can also be the core printing system. In the case of the latter, it is a good idea to reset the printing system when a core error occurs. Note that the reset sets the printing system back to default and removes your currently installed printer and scanner queues. But it does not remove the supporting drivers, so you only need to install the driver again.
    How to Reset the Printing System
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Scan/Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    Just one additional thing to note. In checking the supported printer list for 10.6 from Apple, your RC545 is not listed so running the Software Update will not provide you with a driver for this printer. So if Epson does not have a driver for 10.6, and it appears that Apple does not provide one, then what you have already from the previous installation is it. And if this doesn't work, then you may have to look at either an alternate driver or getting another printer. But let's wait and see what happens after the reset.

  • Acrobat 9.5.3/4 update caused distiller to crash, and now cannot print to PDF

    We have a TON of computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  They have been running fine, however today I got a ton of calls about not being able to print to PDF.
    When you try distiller crashes with:
    The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). 
    This is occurring on anyone who is up to date on patches.
    And old computer that was on Acrobat 9 works, updated to 9.2, worked, updated to 9.5.3 = Busted as noted above.
    I cant seem to find how to uninstall that patch, and I don't want to uninstall 50 copies and re-install..... 
    HELP PLEASE!~!!!

    Hmm. Never seen this before, and Google has no hits in connection with Distiller. But there are many google hits on this error.
    All of them seem to relate to permissions on EXE or DLL files. I guess the first and simplest thing is to ensure that these users have read permission on every file in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat folder.
    But it need not be these files. It could be a system DLL (perhaps the patch makes Distiller start to use a system DLL for the first time). There are a number of tools (e.g. DEPENDS.EXE) which can trace DLL dependencies for an EXE.

  • Upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now cannot print to Xerox Phaser 6180DN

    Since upgrading to OS X 10.6.8 on 23rd June I have found that printer reports as "paused".
    If you click "resume" it apparently accepts the command but then comes back immediately as "paused".
    Any advice would be appreciated (though I suspect it is a glitch in 10.6.8.)
    (I have seen a similar report on the Xerox support website)

    Apple clobbered the PS drivers - the fix for this has been poseted - see:

  • I recently upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot connect to my Brother QL-570 Label Maker

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and now cannot print out on my Brother QL-570 printer. I get as far as typing in the label name and then the labeller or computer disconnect. I have tried downloading drivers from Brother but they can't do that as only Apple can do that but there is nothing in Apple to do that. I also reloaded the program off the set up disc. . Any ideas?

    yeah-find out where you're downloading stuff to, and stick with it. I'm using FireFox and tell it to save the driver and stuff on the desktop, and when I quit FireFox, there it is on the desktop. you'll also need your admin password. It should show up as a .dmg file, then double-click on it to open it. You should see "Brother.pkg" . start up brother.pkg (double click??) and folow the instructions that ought to appear to install the printer driver.  If the .dmg file doesn't mount, use Disk Utility** to mount it and get it working. Then you should see the package.  and then you can install it.
    ** you may have to click on the .dmg file and choose "Get Info" then Open with, then choose disk utility, and then open with then change all. then close it. Hopefully that ought to work. If you cannot remember your admin password, I can't help you right now. Looks like you'd need it, to let Brother install that printer driver.
    well, enough for tonight
    if this didn't help you, then ask me again tomorrow

    Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
    What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
    Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
    It makes no difference at all.
    How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
    You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
    Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. 
    HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
    I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
    Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
    You're somewhat confused and you need to
    1. Decide what exactly you want to do
    2. Then go about it.
    If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do -  the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
    You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto
