Kodak AIO Printer Drivers not allowing sleep

I recently started noticing that my MacMini isn't sleeping at the specified interval set in the System Pref's.
After extensive testing, I've narrowed it down to the Kodak AIO printer drivers (and/or associated software) that's keeping it awake. This occurs across all user profiles and resolves itself immediately upon removal of the Kodak AIO software and drivers.
Looking at the console log going back as far as last night the following sequence is repeated every 30 seconds.

I'm going to contact Kodak but any suggestions? Seems to be happening with recent versions of the driver, but I've not been able to determine at what point or update the Kodak printer drivers/software started exhibiting this behavior.

This is a Kodak problem, not an Apple one. AIO printers often cause the computer to stay awake; sometimes it is due to poor programming and other times it is user error. An AIO printer that includes a FAX that is set to receive faxes must keep the computer awake otherwise the computer cannot receive an unscheduled fax. Well written drivers will allow the user to turn this feature off but that means faxes can only be received when you are expecting them. Even if the AIO doesn't include a fax it is often the cause of computer insomnia.
The solution: (1) before buying an AIO printer check reviews of Mac owners to see if there are reports of insomniac computers with that model. (2) there are shareware and freeware programs that can put a computer to sleep even when the built in energy saver won't. Go to macupdate and search on insomnia

Not allowing sleep

I've disabled sleep on my MacPro tower for a few reasons. I use my machine to feed music to my Sonos system, if I wake my computer during a power failure, my backup battery/surge protector gets overloaded and shuts down, and I also run backup software at night. My question is, without putting my machine to sleep, should I always try to shut down at night? Or leave the machine on all the time without allowing sleep?
Thanks.

Kodak Easyshare Printer Drivers

I got a new MacBook Air last December. It is usoing Lion OS 10.7.4. I am trying to load the printer driver for my odak Easyshare G600 printer dock. I have followed the directions I found on line but it does not finish the task. After installation, I restart the copmputer, connect by USB and then when I look for it in the set up screen it finds the printer but will not allow me to add it. Does anyone know where I am going wrong? Thanks

I received this from Kodak today
"Thank you for your e-mail regarding Kodak printer drives.
EasyShare software V5.2.1 for Macintosh is live on the web http://www.kodak.com/go/easysharesw
This update fixes the Sync and Transfer Manager problem that was created with the Mac OS X10.4.4 update. Please do a custom instalation and include the Kodak printer.
If the above did not solve the issue, there should be an update to the Kodak printer driver in the next week or two for compatibility with Mac Intel Core Duo computers.

HT1996 My kodak 5250 printer is not recognised by my Macbook as a wireless printer

I cannot add my Kodak 5250 printer wirelessly to my MacBook - it does not come up in the 'add printer' menu. I've done everything suggested in the Kodak support page about this - updated software and hardware, turned everything off, turned it on again, checked the printer is connected to the network - so what next? It works fine using a USB cable.

And as per usual, after trying everything (it's been two weeks now of trying different things) and then posting online for support, I try again one more time and it magically works again.
I downloaded the HP printer troubleshooting thing again (the third time) ran the wizard again and found the printer (the second time), downloaded the drivers rather than using the disc (for the second time, the first time the installation failed right a t the end) and intsead of adding the IP for the printer at "Printer Network COnnect" step, I looked up the username for the device on my router (HPDDxxxx) and entered that instead.
EDIT: 11/2/13
Tried to print something today - once again the computer cannot connect to the printer. Printer is still connected. No settings had changed since I got it working.
Why is this happening! I need to print things! Very close to giving up. However I doubt I will get a refund from HarveyNorman, because when they test it out it will connect, and that's enough for them to say 'no refund'. Ugh.

Printer Drivers Not Working with Leopard

I downloaded the Oki C5150n driver for Intel Macs and they don't work properly with Leopard. I need to use the bypass feed, but the drop down menu to choose the paper source only drops partway down not allowing any choices.
This is only happening with CS and CS3. The printer works fine with MS Office.
I have the Oki driver on my Macbook Pro and it works fine, but I'm running Tiger on the Macbook Pro.
Any Help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Same issues here...same setup. This has been an intermittent issue for some time now. My latest incident was when power was lost during one of the big snow storms. Print jobs hang when going trough Time Capsule (wired or wireless) but are fine if plugged into computers USB port. I have resolved this issue before by following similar steps outlined above, but the solution seem to be hit or miss.

Print drivers not working

My new MacBook will not print on my Canon Pixma MP620 printer.
Not finding the exact printer in the drivers list, I tried various similar printers. The print queue shows my job for a few seconds, appears to be loading, then reverts to "printer ready." Nothing prints.
I have downloaded the driver from canon and installed it, but it never shows up in the drivers list (even after restart). I even downloaded the most recent version of Gutenprint, but the exact printer never shows up in the list.
I find it strange that nothing I do seems to install the correct driver, but even a similar driver should work. I can't print anything.

The problem is that the drivers I installed are not showing up in the "Print Using..." menu of available drivers.
For a large number of Canon inkjet printers, due to the way in which the software has been written, the model never appears in the Print Using menu. This is normal and not something you can change.
When you have the printer connected via USB, it should automatically add to your printers list. When this doesn't occur, then it generally indicates that there is a problem with the physical connection, such as a faulty USB cable or USB port, or the Canon driver software didn't install correctly.
To check if the USB cable is okay, open System Profiler and click on the USB entry in the left column under the Hardware heading. This will show all the USB connected devices. If the cable is okay the MP620 should be shown under one of the USB High-Speed Bus entries. If you don't see the MP620, then purchase a new USB printer cable.
If the MP620 is listed, then the software may not have installed correctly. In this case, use the following procedure.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Hold Control key and click in the empty Printers list. Click on Reset Printing System.
2. Close Print & Fax
3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinter folder.
4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the Canon driver package file, if one exists. The file name will show Canon MP620 xxx.pkg (where x represents the version).
5. Go to Library > Preferences and delete the Canon folder.
6. Empty the Trash
7. Turn off the MP620 and unplug the USB cable connecting the printer
8. Restart the Mac.
9. Install version 7.12.2 of the Canon driver.
10. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
11. Reconnect the USB cable and turn the MP620 back on. Then open Print & Fax and see if the Canon printer is listed. If it is, try a test print.
12. If the printer is not listed, click the plus ( + ) button.
13. Select the Default view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
14. Click Add to add the printer.
Where do my drivers go when I install them, anyway?
./Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter (where ./ stands for the hard drive - root)
Note that you cannot browse to this folder to add the printer. You have to rely on the driver software detecting the printer.

All-in-one 6830 printer Does not enter sleep mode when connected to a phone line

HP staff help. HP all-in-one printer 6830 does not enter sleep mode when conntected to a phone line via 1-Line jack. The Firmware is PNP1CN1521AR. On August 1, 2015, I purchased an HP all-in-one 6830 printer and upgraded to firmware PNP1CN1521AR.When a phone line is connected to 1-Line jack of 6830, the printer will no longer enter sleep mode and the display remains on indefinitly.Removing the phone connection either from the wall outlet or from the printer causes the sleep mode to work correctly again where the control panel display turns off after 5 minutes (or optionally after 10 or 15 minutes).This problem was previously reported by a user and has not been resolved, see:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Sleep-mode-of-Officejet-Pro-6830/td-p/4772182 The user did not receive a resolution to this problem according to the thread.
There seems to be a 6830 printer firmware or hardware problem causing this. HP should be able to confirm this problem on 6830 easily.
Please advise ASAP.
Thanks

It's a regular analog phone line. I've tested it with other phone lines. No difference. I have another all-in-one printer which works fine (goes to sleep mode) when plugged into the same phone line.
The 6830 works ok in other aspects. The only problem is the sleep mode. Any 6830 with the firmware I mentioned should replicate the same result, regardless of anything else. The previous firmware to PNP1CN1521AR also created this problem according to the original report of this problem by another user.
I'm sure there's a bug in the firmware. A subroutine in the firmware monitoring the incoming fax ringing, mistakenly, sees the voltage across the phone jack pins as an event and wakes up the printer instantly even though there's no ringing. As the previous user also suspected, there seems to be an error in the phone line voltage threshold used by the firmware. The present firmware always sees a ringing at the phone line which causes it to never stay in sleep mode.

After upgrading to snow leopard my HP C5180 printer will not allow me to scan to the computer, it only works as a copier?

Hello,
My hardrive crashed, replaced and reinstalled. However after upgrading to Snow Leopard v.10.6.8, my HP C5180 printer will not give me an option to scan an image to the computer. It only functions as a copier. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks

If your driver is up to date (you didn't say) then you can try Image Capture in your Applications folder or take a look at VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/

Lightroom 5 print templates not allowing images to be moved into cells & not allowing individual cells to be selected

I've run into a problem using the LR5 print templates that has occurred suddenly and I need help figuring out what happened.
Yesterday I tried using a Print template from my User Templates menu and the one I selected wouldn't allow an image to be dragged into a cell. I also noticed that the template wouldn't allow me to select the cells for size adjustment, either. Other templates had the same behavior, even the templates in the Lightroom Templates menu.
Not only that, but when I hover the mouse cursor over the template name in the menu it displays the template properly in the Preview pane above the menus, but when I click the mouse to select the template the Preview display changes to one that's completely different, which is the same as what shows in the main viewing area.
I have a few non-Lightroom templates (added by me) that work properly, but all of the Print templates in the Lightroom Templates menu show these symptoms. How can I get the Lightroom Print Templates to behave?
Anybody...suggestions??
Thanks!

I'm having almost the exact same problem. the Lightroom library is not recognizing that the files stored in a LOCAL dropbox folder are the same ones as in the library. So if I try to "synch" library, i end up with 40k photos that are missing from my library but they are not. They are there.

HP Printer Drivers Not installing

Hi, Im currently running a iMac as my desktop computer downstairs. We recently replaced our 7 year old printer that we had hooked up to the computer because it randomly decided to stop working on us. The new printer that we hooked up to the computer was an HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One printer. We tried installing the drivers for the computer by downloading them from the HP website but when we did that we would get 1/2 way through the install process and finally get to the "install" screen and when we hit the install button, nothing would happen. I then found the CD for the printer and tried installing the drivers via this method. This didn't work also because "we needed administrator privileges". I am the administrator on this computer and there is one other account on the computer that is also an administrator and I have tried installing it on that user also but not to any luck.
Any ideas on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Happy holidays Jardnle,
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Try installing again.

HP laserjet printer P1102W not allowing to connect to mac OS 10.8

i recently purchased an HP laserjet printer P1102W and am having issues connecting to my mountain lion macbook pro. any suggestions?

I had a very difficult time getting the P1102W working wirelessly on a macbook pro with Mountain Lion, however I finally got it to work after countless hours of troubleshooting. I was able to successfully connect the printer to my wireless network WITHOUT having to perform an Ad Hoc wireless first as HP suggests in their support forums.
Here are the steps as accurately as I can remember:
1) Turn the printer off
2) Press and hold both the wireless and the cancel button, and then turn the product on
3) Hold the buttons until all the lights blink in unison, and then release the buttons.
4) Connect printer using USB cable & power on.
5) Check for apple software update from the App store. It will find and install an update for HP printers
6) Download and install the full software from HP, including the firmware update. here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-80684-8 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
7) Open System Presferences in Mounatin Lion, select Print & Scan.
8) Make sure the P1102W printer is selected and Open Print Queue
9) Click Settings, then click Utility, then Open Printer Utility
10) Select Configuration page. This will bring up Safari and displays the printer's settings and this is where you can change the configuration.
From this point, whenever I made changes to the netowrking configuration using Safari and clicked Apply, the changes would not "stick", no matter how many times I tried. So, I thought it may be an incompatability with Safari, and sure enough it was. I downloaded Google's Chrome browser, pasted http://localhost:5050/SSI/Auth/ip_direct_print.htm into the address bar and hit return on the keyboard. The changes I made using Chrome applied successfully and I connected to my home's wireless.
Specifically:
11) Paste http://localhost:5050/SSI/Auth/ip_direct_print.htm into Chrome and hit return on the keyboard. It will load the printer Config page.
12) You may already be under Wireless Direct Setup, if not, select Networking, then Wireless Direct Setup.
13) Select your network name, use the << button to move it over to the other window.
14) For Authentication, selecte watever your network uses (propably WPA2) and enter password. Apply.
You will see the Blue light on the top of the printer turn on, flash and then go solid.
15) Disconnect the USB cable
You can now print wirelessly from your Mac, ipad or iphone running IOS5 or 6.
I hope that helps compensate for HP's lack of support using Mountain Lion.
