J6480 no longer prints color after Mavericks OS X 10.9.4

I blame myself for upgrading to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, but there's no going back now...All my documents (MSWord, Adobe) print in black and white. I cannot find the settings to configure color printing (or draft, or fast draft) like I had in Snow Leopard. I've clicked on every button in the printer dialog box from within both applications and can't figure out how to set the print quality or color. I just updated OS X 10.9.4, and restarted. I downloaded the latest HP patch for J6480 (as at 7/9/14) and restarted. Many thanks, in advance, for showing me the way!
This question was solved.

OK, I removed the printer, then used Disk Utility to verify permissions on my hard drive. Only about 6 kabillion permissions were out of whack, and many of them included the word 'printer.' So I repaired permissions, and then reverified, and one more needed repair. So after repairing that, I restarted, and then added the printer, and printed this web page 'Two-Sided.' The Paper Type / Quality selection box now appears, and within that screen, 'Color Options' is now a subtle tiny option near the bottom of the dialog box, but I clicked it, selected ColorSmart / sRGB, and clicked 'Print.'
>>YIPPEE!<<
I now have color printing! On both sides of the paper! And it printed my pdf and MSWord 2010 documents in color, too.
How come this only lets me click 'thumbs up +' only once? You should get a click for each of the 6 kabillion permission errors!
Many thanks!

Officejet pro 6500 no longer prints color

My Officejet Pro 6500 (A909) will no longer print in color. I've done all the basic checks - print cartridges full, clean/align print heads, etc. to no avail. I've restarted the device as well. The all-in-one is less than a year old and did print color documents initially. But now, it will on print in black and white. I'm using the same computers as before when it would print in color. What could be causing this and how to fix it? Thanks

Sorry> That was the 8500, not 6500 All-in-one

Won't Print Color After Operating System Upgrade

Within the last year I purchased a LaserJet CP1525nw color, and I recently upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and now I can't print color. I've tried loading the driver from the CD that originally came with the print and I get an error message saying that it can not install the driver. I've looked on the HP website to see if there are any updates for this printer and I can't seem to find any. I was able to find a list of devices that are supported by Windows 7, and a list of devices that are not supported by Windows 7 and my printer was not on either list.
I'm wondering if there is anything that I've missed as far as fixes or updates for this problem, or am I just out of luck with wanting to print color with this printer now that I've upgraded to Windows 7.

Hi Akfshslyr,
Try installing the full feature software and driver for this printer.

Can no longer print wirelessly after SL install

I cannot wirelessly print to my Xerox Phaser 6130N following installation of Snow Leopard. I downloaded the 2.0 version of the driver from the Apple site, which enabled my MacBook to recongize the printer (finally!) when I hooked it up via USB. But printing wirelessly is no longer possible. Anyone have any suggestions?

Just to be clear here, there are several cases we are talking about
1) A USB printer hooked up to an Airport base station (or other network device that provides a USB print spooler).
2) A printer with build in Ethernet connected to your network.
3) A printer with built in Wireless connected to your wireless network.
Option 2 or 3 should work for any functioning print driver as long as that print driver is configured for a network interface. In the case of the HP printers, any printer that has build in networking the drivers are automatically configured this way.
Option 1 is a bit more confusing. As pointed out first, your printer driver must be enabled for networking, even if your printer doesn't have a network interface on it. We have in the past had drivers go out without this flag checked. There are no Snow Leopard drivers in this category (that I am aware of). The other problem that lots of people seem to be running into is that printing to a USB printer attached to an Airport seems not to be working for people who do not have actual Snow Leopard drivers. Unfortunately there are some HP printers that fall into this category.
That being said, InsaneMisha, your Officejet 6500 does have Snow Leopard compatible drivers, and since it is a network device, we can't turn off the network interface. So, if you can provide more details of what your problem is I may be able to help. And note to solve the problem may require re-installing the drivers.
Just trying to help.

Text replacements no longer working correctly after Mavericks install.

Since upgrading to Mavericks (MBA2011 13inch) only a select few of the text replacements still work. For example, I can still write (c) and tm and have them change to what they should be, but the fractions, and custom ones like gmc, omw, or the apostrophe ones no longer are substituted. I tried deleting them and entering them again, but it does not work. They worked fine in 10.8, and I didnt change them until I noticed it had stopped working. Any ideas?

I have also noticed new in Mavericks is that if you type something that can be text substituted and you stop at the last character, a small box with the replacement pops out with the option to cancel the replacement, similar to how it works in ios.
However, I still have my problem where only certain susbstitutions work and exhibit this, while others do nothing ever.

3600N no longer prints color, only grayscale ... Vista SP2 download the culprit?

I have the 3600N connected to my home net via its USB port thru a D-Link DP-300U print server. It has been working fine since I first installed it last Fall. I use it very little, having printed less than pages.
I started it today for the first time in over a month and found that color printjobs sent from my primary (Vista Ultimate) system only print in grayscale. A check of 2 other systems on the net (both XP Pro) determined that the problem was Vista-system-specific.
Last week I downloaded the Vista SP2 offering so I now suspect that as the culprit.
Later tonight, when I can find the time, I intend to nuke the current installation on my Vista system and do a fresh re-install.
Hopefully, that will solve the issue.
Has anyone else heard of Vista SP2 turning other color printers into monchromes?

One thing that I forgot to mention ... in Properties on the Advanced page, Image Color Management is set to Disabled and grayed-out so that the setting cannot be changed.
And , nope, haven't had time to Nuke & ReInstall yet ... hopefully, later today.

Why do eBay item listings no longer change colors after being viewed?

Need some help with a problem – in the past, when I opened a specific listing on eBay, it changed color from blue to red when I got back out of the listing. As of late, they do not change and remain blue. As I do 20-30 music title searches daily, the color change was a real time saver as I could tell immediately when I had begun yesterday’s search as it was now red. Without the color change, I have to pay much more attention and invariably end up searching beyond that point until I realize it. Do you have any idea how I can get back to the color change? Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

I've seen more posts from people that also have this issue with visited links while using the Back button, so this behavior may be a regression and caused by using the cache more aggressively.
Does opening the link in a new tab work to show the visited state of links?

PLEASE HELP? Can no longer print PDFs after Mountain Lion update?

I have a ton of labels to print though Ebay, but I've tried everything?
I am able to print in any other file formet just fine. When I try to print PDF, it either prints VERY faded or acts like it's printing, but nothing is showing up on the page. I am so frustrated. I've been dealing with this for 2 days!
I am not tech savvy, so if there is a dumbed down way you can help me with this ASAP, I would be so grateful! Ebay buyers can be rutheless if packages are not sent quickly, so the sooner the better.

sorry!!! It is a Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW.
Have made sure all ML / Apple updates are done. Checked the Epson site and there are no updates for 10.8

Pages 5.1 - Kodak Printer will not print color

Anyone having problems printing color after Pages 5.1? I have a Kodak ESP 7250 and the printer option is strikes through and I can not print color. Printer works fine with older version of Pages on macbook.

Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

Hi,
My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above.<br />
All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

Photoshop is printing colors Incorrectly

I recently updated my operating system to MAC OS 10.8 and as a result, Photoshop 5.5 no longer prints colors accurately. I corresponded with the tech department at Adobe for more than a week and we determined that my user settings did not migrate properly when I upgraded, resulting in skewed colors when printing from Photoshop. In running tests, we made a new "root" user and Photoshop printed correctly when using that user. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix my user settings/profiles so that my paper and printer profiles operate correctly in MAC OS 10.8 when printing from Photoshop?
I've spent more than a month already trying to resolve this issue. If anyone has had a similar problem or has any suggestions I would be extremely grateful!

On a Mac, make sure Photoshop is fully Quit, then cold-start it, and immediately press and hold the Command - Option - Shift keys down. If you've gotten them down quickly enough Photoshop will prompt you to confirm deletion of the preferences, which will cause the automatic generation of default preferences.
Hope that helps!

Cannot print to Canon iR3380i after Mavericks update

We have a small office network. All machines print to our Canon iR3380i copier. The iR3380i has a static IP address in our internal network. All machines currently use OS X Lion.
I updated my machine (2011 MacBook Air 13") to OS X Mavericks last night and can no longer print. Here are the error messages and steps I've taken:
1) First I got "Error 16801"
To solve this I visited the Canon site to download the latest UFRII driver (v10.2.0) for the iR3380i
I removed the current printer, updated my driver with the new UFRII driver
I re-added the printer
2) Next I got "The printed output may be incorrect because the printer information has not been acquired. Start Printer Utility to get the printer information."
The only option at this point is to hit "OK".
3) Next dialog box says "Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information."
Again, the only option I got was to hit "OK".
The printer icon appears in the Dock with a PAUSE symbol and the 1 Job Pending alert.
Opening the Printer Queue box shows one job in the queue.
Hitting "Resume" generates the dialog box "Cannot communicate..." again.
And that's it. I cannot figure out what else to do. Help please!

I think your issue is that even though you have the latest 10.2.0 driver for 10.9, you added the printer using the previous v2.43 PPD. So open Print & Scan, remove the current printer for the iRC3380 and click the plus button to add again. After selecting IP > LPD and entering the IP address, ensure you select "Canon iR C2880/C3380" in the Use menu. Note that there is no mention of UFRII in the model name, as is the case with the previous UFR2 v2.43 driver.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did that this morning (see Step 1) and deleted the existing printer before re-adding a new printer and using the newly updated driver and printer description. Here's what I get:
You can see my model number is listed in there as is the the proprietary Canon UFRII language.
Once added, here's what happens next:
So it would appear, at this point, that the printer is installed and communicating and that I should be good to print.
Alas, I get the same error message I've been getting. back to square one.

Color Printing Problems after update dec28/07

Last night I installed the latest updates for PS CS3 on 2 machines and both machines have the exact same color issues while printing with two different Canon printers.
The Problem:
Since this last update all images I try in print from 16bit ProPhoto or AdobeRGB 16bit, converted from Canon RAW through ACR look sepia tone, there is virtually no color (images still look as they did before on my monitor). In order to get the color to print I must convert image profiles to 8 or 16 Bit sRGB. I have not changed any settings after the update and confirmed that the update made no changes to the printers set up. sRGB 8bit jpeg images print color as seen on the monitor.
BOTTOM LINE: I can no longer print ProPhoto or AdobeRGB color space on my 8 color Canon Printer

Thanks Jeff
Both computers are PCs, one on XP, one on Vista, and printers are Canon i9900 and Canon ip4000 both are printing exactly the same way. Swoped printers between PCs with same outcome. Only changes made to both PCs was the CS3 update.
Jeff, I thought the problem may stem from the ACR RAW conversion as regular sRGB jpegs print the color as seen on my monitor. I have also submitted this question to the general PS forum...
Thanks again for taking the time to reply..

After mavericks upgrade unable to connect to printer

After mavericks upgrade on one of my two 2013 iMac, when I try to print anything on my network printer and plotter I always obtain this message: "unable to connect to printer" than printer pause and got "pronto per la stampa" (ready to print in italian).
I have a EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1290 A3 color inkjet printer and an HP designjet 500 plus 24 plotter connected to a Windows XP machine under a Windows XP network.
Trying to print from the seconf 2013 iMac with OS X 10.8 (NON OS X 10.9 Maverocks upgraded) everything goes as usual ant printer works well as from other two Windows XP machine on the same Windows network.
Then apparently the "unable to connect to printer" problem is up to OS X 10.9
Any suggestion?

THis helped me. Had to share this!
Go to this link: http://macs.about.com/od/printersharing/ss/Printer-Sharing-Share-Your-Windows-7- Printer-With-Your-Mac_5.htm
Things to Keep in mind and setup first if your Server which your printer is connected to is a Mac Desktop like mine, otherwise the above instructions will not work:
1) Make sure to have firewall set either to "Off", but if "On" then make sure set to allow SMB, Printer Share, and other devices. Thats a Biggie! (I suggest you Test first that you're indeed able to connect first to your Mac desktop server using the smb://YourServersFileSharingAddess.local, or cifs://YourServersFileSharingAddess.local. If you're not able to connect to your servers hard drive from your Laptop, then the printer setup will not work! So resolve this first and make sure you can connect using the mentioned protocols.
2) When you see that you're able to connect, then go to your printer setup and follow the above links suggestion. Just make sure that when you enter the ip address which it suggest, that its the same ip or location name of your mac server which your trying to connect to, ie... (YourServersFileSharingAddess.local/NameOfPrinterConnectedToServer). Keep in mind that it is case sensitive and that if you have spaced in the name of the printer, its better and easier to just rename it and cut it down to just one name...no spaces! But if you must have the spaces, then use %20 to fill those spaces, ie... "My Printer name" change to "My%20Printer%20name".
Then watch the magic!
