IPhoto freezes when asked to print (via Airport) to HP 5550

Please help frustrated of Ely! iPhoto (6.0.2) is refusing to print to my HP 5550, which hangs off my Airport Express. Other apps print fine, both from the (new and with latest drivers) iMac and other machines on the home network. On my previous G4 Mac (running 10.3.9), iPhoto sometimes printed and sometimes stuttered half way through a job. I assumed this was a network problem, possibly the old (and slower) Airport card in the G4. But the on the new iMac, it is even worse - just spinning beachball whenever you ask iPhoto to print. Must be an iPhoto problem? Any clues? I have changed the drivers, and re-set the printer utility several times.
IMAC Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

in case anyone is interested, this turned out to be a printer drive problem

IPhoto freezes when asked to print contact sheet.

iPhoto had been working fine (well, as fine as iPhoto can be expected to work ) including printing off contact sheets, until it just stopped being able to do the latter.
It got stuck on the 'processing page 1' loading bar, and then what I assumed to be an error message appeared, except that I couldn't read it because it was so frozen that all the text was garbled. Then it printed out the second and last page of the contacts fine but the first page appeared extremely faded - to the point that the images weren't actually discernible.
Have repeated this process 3 or 4 times to see if it worked but with the same result each time. Only force quit enables me to exit. Recently purged my iPhoto of 99% of its content in the hope it would speed up, so I can't imagine it has anything to do with that.
I hate iPhoto. That aside, can anyone help?
Thanks

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
3 - try the contact sheet again.
Are you able to Save as PDF in the Print window and what does the PDF look like if you do.

IPhoto freezes when trying to print small size photos

I'm trying to print the smallest sized photo. Everytime I ask it to print it freezes and I have to force quit. If I print a bigger sized photo, such as 4X6, it works fine. Earlier in the day I was able to print the small photos. I've trashed the plist and restarted but it's still doing it.

The settings that I show in the screen shot give you, as owner, complete access to that folder and all files inside. I also set my admin name as the group because I'm the only user on the computer and set others are read only. As long as you have read and write access you good to go. Then the bottom check boxes apply those permissions and will unlock any file that may have inadvertently been locked.
You can set the permissions a different way as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.

IPhoto freezes when ordering photo

As of today - 29 May 2012, iPhoto freezes when ordering photo prints with the message..
'There was a problem communicating with the Apple Online Store. Please try again.'
I had to 'Force quit' iPhoto to continue.
OK, so maybe the store is down but surely that should not affect the software on both of my computers?
Andy Forrest

It's OK now - I see the store is open again - but it does seem odd that lack of store makes te application freeze solid!

Iphoto freezes when I try to print a picture

Why does iPhoto freeze when I try to print a photo? I have to force the program closed.

That was a test to determine if the original library was damaged and it was. You did follow the next step but there's one more fix you can try on your damaged library:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Leopard incapable of printing via airport?

What the heck did apple do to screw up wireless printing?
I could print on Panther os to my printer when it was hooked up to airport. It meant hooking it up to airport and adding the printer a second time (then labelling it as wireless so I know which is which). How do you do that in leopard?
Leopard says the printer is there but lies when it comes time to print and says it can't connect unless i plug into usb port. why can't it print when the printer is hooked to airport?
How do you get this wireless printing to work on Leopard?
The normal printer utility doesn't exist and I have no idea on how to tell leopard to print via airport to the printer (leopard is too stupid to figure it out) and apple won't let me ask anymore.
HELP HELP HELP! HOW DO I GET THIS STUPID LEOPARD OS TO PRINT TO IT?

OK. Here's the answer to my own question. And here is what apple did to confuse the issue.
First, you have to go to the airport utility to fix leopard so it finds the usb printer plugged into the airport usb port because it has to configure the wan port as a printer.
In utilities, click on airport utility.
(this is when airport utility suddenly realized it had to update itself). Why the update was never found using software update I'll never know....
Complete the update. Exit airport utility and relaunch so that it detects the previous airport setup.
IT SHOULD LIST WHAT IT FOUND. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW IS A CLICK BUTTON LABELLED MANUAL SETUP. CLICK ON MANUAL SETUP. Why apple thought to hide the printer setup in airport manual setup is anyone's guess....
IN THE MENU THERE IS A PRINTER ICON AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. CLICK THAT AND THE REST IS EASY. IT SHOULD FIND THE PRINTER SO ADD IT AND RENAME IT BY ADDING BONJOUR OR SOMETHING TO THE NAME SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE SELECTING THE PRINTER WHEN IT IS PLUGGED INTO THE AIRPORT BASE STATION. Set sharing if you want to share the printer in system preferences sharing icon. RENAME THE NEW PRINTER OTHERWISE, YOU'LL HAVE TWO PRINTERS, ONE THE COMPUTER LOOKS FOR ON THE USB PORT AND ONE IT LOOKS FOR THE ON AIRPORT BASE STATION.
SET THE DEFAULT PRINTER TO THIS NEW PRINTER SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY IT WILL PRINT VIA AIRPORT TO THE PRINTER.
Panther was so much easier and logical in setting up the printer to run off airport.

Iphoto freezes when trying to upload photos

Hi everyone,
Being new to the mac world (VERY new... I just bought my computer on Friday), I am already having problems with uploading photos. I uploaded everything from my digital camera fine, but then when I tried to upload my Easter pictures, everything freezes and I am forced to quit the application. Apples help line of closing at 6pm pacific time is not helping my matter. Can any one help me??
Thank you!

Your photos are safe inside the iPhoto Library package. You may be able to recover them by on of these ways:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

Printing via airport extreme then via ethernet to Hp Deskjet 6840

Hi,
Thanks for any help in advance.
I have a powerbook and can't print to my ethernet printer. If I plug in the ethernet cable to the powerbook it prints fine.
Is it possible to print to a networked printer via airport.
I cannot connect the HP to the USB on the side of the airport as that would cut off the other hard wired macs on the network.
Any ideas?
Cheers
G3 powerbook pismo 400 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I've been using my 6980 wirelessly through my Airport Extreme router. It works very well even when multiple users are accessing. I don't have any of my machines hardwired though. It shouldn't matter, if your laptop can talk to the hardwired machines the printer should too.
Grab the 6840 setup guide and your software CD and follow the instructions for setting up wireless. Since the 6840 predates Tiger you may need updated drivers, but if you can print to it now you're probably OK.
If you have WEP activated, your network hidden, or both, the setup process is a little complicated. Let me know if that's the case and I can help you through it. I have a closed network with 128 bit WEP and got everything connected with few problems (took a little finagling).
If you don't have your setup guide handy you can go here for information:

New macbook won't print, via airport, on HP Deskjet 3845

Hello there
I used to have an iBook G4 running Tiger and it printed very well. Now I upgraded to a new aluminum macbook running Leopard 10.5.5. It prints ok when the printer is connected to the usb port. When I try to add the printer via airport express, the system finds the printer with bonjour but doesn't recognize the driver. I selected the driver manually but it doesn't accept it.
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot

Can anybody help me here, please?

Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

HT2638 Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos

Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos. I have tried all of the first aid options. Can I only delete small batches? I am trying to organize and edit my 16K + library and deleting small batches is very time consuming. And iphoto is running very slow... Is there simply better software for a large library or tips to erase these photos?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
