Kodak printers and Yosemite

I reported the problem of my Kodak printer not working after updating to Yosemite and have been following the chat, trying out the suggested fixes to no avail.
I finally had a call back from Kodak and they are aware of the issue which has affected people word wide. I tried the suggested fixes and they finally confirmed that their development group are working with urgency to produce new software for us to download. The issue is to do with the extra security within Yosemite.
I will post details as I receive them from Kodak.

Having followed other threads I found a temporary fix to overcome the problem. This involves entering some code but is not difficult.
Changing the Sandbox
1. in Spotlight Type Terminal and then press enter.
This should bring up the terminal window/program.
2. In the Terminal type sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
It will ask for your password.
3) After that type following: sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
After that if you are lucky the printer driver should start to work. (which it did in my case)
I hope this works out for you, if not then you can do following to revert the changes:
In case you want/have to revert the changes:
1) Open the terminal as usual (Spotlight type Terminal hit enter and wait for the terminal window to appear)
2) then type: cd /etc/cups
3) then type: sudo nano cups-files.conf
4) 'type in your password'
This brings up a command line editor which you can use to edit the file
5) Remove the last line which Says Sandboxing Relaxed
6) press 'ctrl x'
And then confirm with y when being asked if you want to save the changes
7) after that type sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
After that the changes should be reverted and you are back to stock behavior.

When it asks for your password just type it in and press return, it does not show up on the screen as it is hidden, this stumped me and I had to search of the answer.
This sets the sandboxing back to how it was under Mavericks. When Kodak come out with an updated driver you can reset it to the higher security setting contained in Yosemite.
Best of Luck this has worked for me on a Macbook pro and an iMac .

  • Why have apple made such a great item in the ipad2, and then just ruined it by air print, I have a Kodak wireless, and I am not paying stupid ink prices, the cost of air printers is huge, and the ink worse, why have they ruined a good item.

    AirPrint,,,, WHy?      Why have apple robbed us yet again, AirPrint, is useless, or buy another printer that apple have gained massive revenue from, the iPads are great but very high priced, and then you have to buy another high priced printer with high priced inks, I use a wifi Kodak, why should I buy another.
    You have to mess about with other apps and then have your other computer on, what's all that about Apple. Why have they ruined a really good thing.
    I cannot get my printer to work, and might just sell this stupid gadget, I am so annoyed at apple playing god with things, if you want it to work you have to jailbreak it, and the up pos Apple again, if you break it we will not repair it, that tells you exactly that they are playing god, wake up apple and smell the coffee.

    I have a Kodak wifi printer and print using the app Print Magic.  I do not need to have any of my home computers on to do this as they have nothing to do with wifi printing from my iOS devices (if you do not have a wifi printer and are sharing the printer off another computer, then of course, that computer needs to be on and connected to your wifi network).
    You can post with all the hyperbole you want, but none of us have any inside information as to why Apple's devices and iOS do certain things a certain way, or why they do not do things in the particular specific way you wish them to.  Airprint does not work with Kodak printers at this time.  There are numerous apps that will allow you to print to just about any wifi printer.

  • My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
    Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation.

  • Why does iTunes make me log in every time I open it since upgrading to v.12.0.1.26 and Yosemite?

    Since upgrading to itunes v. 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (same day), iTunes has been making me log in every single time I open it.
    Not only that, but it makes me log in several times, for iCloud, for iTunes match, for whatever else we do on iTunes. It gives me like five different reasons to log in, and I have to type my password in five times.
    Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how to fix it? Thanks!

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select

  • Can I remotely access HDs, printers and computers connected to APEX?

    I currently have an external HD, 2 printers and a desktop (currently a dell, soon to be an iMac) connected directly to my Airport Extreme, and I have a MacBook which I connect via WiFi.
    First of all, can I access my Airport Extreme remotely (for example, from work) with my MacBook?
    I currently use my External HD for Time Machine backups. I also use it to store various files (one of them being my iTunes library) that I like to be able to access on both computers. Can I access this remotely to a) use for Time Machine and b) access the files stored on it?
    Am I able to access my printers if I wanted to print something at home while I'm elsewhere?
    Finally, once I get my new iMac, would I be able to access that as well? I would like to be able to wake it from sleep and access files stored on it, control it, etc.
    If these things are in fact possible, how would I go about configuring my setup to do all this?
    Edit: Bonus Question - Can I do any of the above items with my iPhone as well?
    Message was edited by: John.Kitzmiller

    The easiest way to accomplish this would be to get MobileMe which will keep everything synced and allow you to access Back to My Mac to screen share your iMac at home. This would allow you to view the hard disk, assuming it is connected to the home network. As of yet, I do not believe you can back up your mac from a different network. To print from anywhere in the world you need to go to AirPort Utility and click on printers. Check share printers over ethernet port and check advertise printers globally using Bonjour. After you have done that, head over to System Preferences. Click on Print & Fax. Complete the steps necessary to set up your printer over Bonjour. (Sorry don't know the exact steps, never done it.)

  • I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite.  I want to create one movie that includes these short movies that I can then either burn to a DVD or show in iMovie's Theater.  How can I do it?

    I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite.  I want to combine those short movies into one movie that I can loop and burn on a DVD or show in iMovie Theater.  How can I do it?  The movies are now shared to iTunes.

    Another easy way to fix this.
    What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
    Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
    Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

  • Is it possible to create a configuration profile that will install multiple network printers and their associated drivers

    Is it possible to create a configuration profile that will install multiple network printers and their associated drivers?
    I was not able to find profile manager on my employer's installation of 10.6 Server. Is this only a feature of 10.7/10.8 server?

    10.6 server does not have profile manager, profile manager is only available in 10/7 and 10.8 server
    for 10.6 server you'll need to use wgm and server admin
    printer management with 10.6, I recommend you read the relevant server manuals regarding

  • I have a MacBook Air. With latest version of Pages and Yosemite my full-screen function no longer operates.

    My full screen function no longer works in Pages after latest software updates for Pages and Yosemite.
    Has anyone else experienced this phenomena? It flashes to full screen then immediately reverts to the normal display.

    Yes it does.
    Open your Pages document in Pages v5.5.1.
    To enter full-screen:
    Pages > View > Enter Full Screen (or control+command+F)
    Hover over the green traffic light in your Title bar. It will show diagonal full-screen arrows. Click.
    To exit full-screen:
    Hover over the Document Title bar, then Pages > View > Enter Full Screen (or control+command+F)

  • HT1338 Do I have to reinstall my print drivers after upgrading to 10.8? I seem to have lost both my printers and my ability to download from my camera. Never had problems with 10.7. I'm a little scared.

    Do I have to reinstall my printer drivers after upgrading to 10.8? I seem to have lost the ability to communicate with either of 2 wireless printers and to download pictures from my camera. (Photoshop keeps telling me it can't find the device.) Any suggestions?

    Have you repaired permissions and restarted your computer after installing ML?  Checked your printer settings in System Preferences?
    If Software Update does not list any updated drivers for your model printer, you should go to the printer's manufacturer website and download the drivers from there and/or contact their tech support to determine if your printer is compatible w/ML.
    Read the various Knowledge Base ML printing articles.  Here are a few to get you started: 
    OS X Mountain Lion: If the software for your printer can’t be found
    OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot a USB printer
    OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot an AirPort printer
    If none of the above work, post back w/the model of your printer and how it's connected to your computer.  USB?  Wireless?

  • HP printers and os 10.9.5

    After the most recent update (Sept 25) of 10.9.5, I'm getting a message "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when connecting by USB printer cable.  Yes, have rebooted, restarted, cleared printers etc.  Now in Printers and Scanners my printer is not even recognized...no printer available.  HELP!

    I haven't experienced that, but I recommend you start with the usual maintenance procedures:
    First, startup using Safe Boot, which does some repairs while starting. Just restart normally after that finishes. (And try adding a printer after that):
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    If that hasn't helped, try Resetting the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Then try adding the printer.

  • Adobe PDF 9.0 shows up under Printers and Scanners (Mac OS) after re-installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0

    - recently re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 on my new Mac (OSX version 10.9.3)
    - after re-installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 an icon called Adobe PDF 9.0 shows up under Printers and Scanners
    - every single time I want to scan, my printer/scanner Brother automatically chooses Adobe PDF 9.0 as printer/scanner, although my printer/scanner Brother is set as standard printer/scanner
    - did bring the issue under attention of Customer Service who directed me to this website

    Hi Pieter,
    Acrobat 9 has not been tested and is unsupported Mac Mavericks.
    You might face compatibility issues with it.

  • Printers and Scanners preference pane does not work after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded to Mavericks on my late 2011 MacBook Pro, and my printers and scanners preference pane stopped working. Sometimes it comes back as an error and wont open, other times it opens but the list of printers is obscured and not really showing, and it does not react normally. I tried reinstalling from System Restore with the onlie version, but that just took 6 hours but did not really help. I am going a little crazy as I cant get my Canon MX330 scanner installed and recognized. Does anyone have any ideas for me please??

    I'm assuming that you're referring to the Printers & Scanners in System Preferences (not a preference pane, which is a different animal).
    While I haven't experienced your issue, one thing that users find helpful is to go to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/, and delete the printers listed by tapping on - (minus). Then, reenter the information when it's required later.

  • "Error Disk too Slow" Macbook Pro 2011 - Maverick and Yosemite - The Great Grand Mystery Unfolds!!!

    Hey everybody,
    Logic Pro X user here, have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, upgraded to 16gb of ram, 2.8ghz intel core i7, running latest version of Mavericks and more recently on a separate partition I tried Yosemite with a  clean install of only Logic Pro X.
    I use Apogee Quartet as my audio interface, I have a OWC Mercury Elite Firewire 800 external drive that I record to, all LPX files are on my internal drive.
    Before Mavericks I had 0 issues with this setup, no with just one sole drummer track, or one single audio or software track, I get the various disk too slow errors after a few seconds.
    I have tried reinstalling LPX, I tried a clean partition with nothing but Logic Pro on it (both Mavericks and Yosemite).
    I have reset my PRAM and used Apple Hardware diagnostics as well as memtest (i think it was called) and even reverted back to my old original RAM that came with the computer.  All hardware tests passed, I have verified and repaired disks from disk utility as well as from the recovery partition.
    I have worked with Apple a bit over the phone doing these things, I have also read just about every thread on this pervasive issue.  And its ruining my experience as a user.  I absolutely loved Logic on Mountain Lion, no issues whatsoever! I'm considering reverting back to it actually.
    On a side note I also have a HDMI Tv connected through the thunderbolt display, and a self powered USB hub that I connect my wireless mouse, iPhone cable and WD MY passport drive (which I only use for Time Machine).
    I'm basically at my wits end and open to anybodies suggestions, I even tried resting the SMC and several other things advised in these forums.
    I'm Stil under Apple Care and wondering if going into them is my only hope left.
    I find that garageband acts the same, but I have no other system issues! its so bizarre, performance on all other programs is totally fine, its only when I want to record that I get issues.
    For the record I do have some 3rd party VTS (Arturia V collection, EZ drummer 2 and AMplitube) but when I did the clean partition they weren't there and I still had the disk to slow error, so I'm not convinced its because of those.
    Also Since the partition I obviously have played with my storage but I still have 75 gas of space on the mavericks partition (out of 500gb ) and on Yosemite partition I have 125 gbs available and on my Firewire external drive I have about 150gb left on a 500gb drive, so I'm not convinced its a space issue either (especially since before Mavericks Mountain Lion seemed to work just fine.)
    HELP! Please help...I'm so exhausted trying to fix this on my own, and admittedly I've run to the end of my own capacity and don't know where to go from here.
    Thank you for any suggestions, sorry for the long post, and if I have left anything out please let me know, this is my first post.

    And yes I did upgrade my apogee drivers to the recent ones they just released.

  • In Printers and Scanners, how can I change the order of the listed printers?

    I have 3 different printers, and they all work fine. I would like to move my "default printer" to the top of the listed printers. How do I do that?

    It can be done. You can rename your default printer by adding an underscore in front of its current name, or change its name altogether to be alphabetically first. This will then place it on the top of the printer list.
    To rename the printer, open Printers & Scanners, select the desired printer and click the Options & Supplies button. Under the General section you will see the current name. Add an underscore in front of the current name and click the OK button. Now the printer will be at the top of the Printers list.
