Last os upgrade creates printing error on Lexmark Optra E 312L

Dear Common Wisdom:
Every since I installed the 10.5.4 upgrade I can't print to my USB-connected Lexmark Optra E312L.
The following message is always printed out:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: csq
STACK:
Any ideas?

Here's what Lexmark techsupport responded to my inquiry:
Thank you for contacting Lexmark email support. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
In reply to your email, this printer is not supported on MAC 10.5 (Leopard) machine. I am not sure what driver have
you installed to print from this printer. This is why you are getting only this error message instead of printing the
document. If you open the compatibility list, you can find that Optra E312 L is not compatible with MAC Leopard.
I guess that's it? My printer died with 10.5.
No chance to revive it?

Printing to a Lexmark Optra E312

I updated to Mac OS X (10.4.9) last month and since then, I cannot print on my Lexmark Optra E312 anymore. It used to work on Mac OS X (I think it was OS X (10.1 or 10.2), but now it doesn't. I have downloaded a new driver and the computer can see the printer but when I send a print job, the only thing that happens is that the Data and Error light flash for 2-3 seconds and then it quits the job. I've unplugged everything and plugged it back in. Even tried switching the USB ports but have had no luck. Any one have any advice?

My advise is to contact Lexmark's tech support for advise.

Error when trying to create printed documentation in RH 7

Hello,
I've created a WebHelp project in RH 7 that I'm trying to
make a PDF for, as well. An error always appears when trying to
generate printed documentation, even if only the PDF option or the
Word option is selected. RH 7 processes and builds each of the
pages, index, images, etc. It gets to the very end on the status
bar and an error appears that it failed to generate the PDF.
In the output view, I see that it successfully processed
everything until the end when it says (the last four lines are the
error):
Updating Table of Contents...
Updating Index...
Saving 'GVE_Help_.doc'...
Generating 'GVE_Help_.pdf'...
Failed the generate PDF file '(The path is written here but
has been removed for this post)'...
Failed to save 'GVE_Help_.doc'...
Cleaning up temporary files...
Internal error encountered, Failed to generate Printed
Documentation.
Is there any way to get the Printed Documentation to work
properly in RH 7? I receive the same error for any of the WebHelp
projects I've opened in RH 7. I'm using Windows XP and have Word
2003 on my PC if that helps. I believe, but not too sure, RoboPDF
is still on my PC. May this have something to do with it?
Thanks so much, in advance, for any feedback and help.

Try generating just to Word and then creating the PDF from
there. There is a known problem which affects some users but not
others. Cause not known.

Since the last 3 upgrades (thru Firefox 7.0) I can't print a web page. This is true using 2 different printers. I have an iMac 10.6.8.

Since the last 3 upgrades (thru Firefox 7.0) I can't print a web page. This is true using 2 different printers. I have an iMac 10.6.8.

Just read that the default memory storage on FF is set to 5 mbs. You can up that by clicking on tools, advanced and overriding the default and set it to 50 mbs (if you use lots of tabs) or 10 mbs (if you use just a few).
I open a blank tab and clear the cache periodically, while I am working. I can have several tabs open and watch videos on Youtube, by doing this. Have you cleared your cache?
Since I have an older computer, I've also used CCleaner for years. I use it often, but always before signing off. You can get it free...search for CCleaner, download from Pirifoam free. I didn't change any of the settings and it clears crap left behind from uninstalling programs, clears all browsers at once of: cookies, history, passwords, etc. I love it!
I had freezing, before using the "open blank tab, clear the cache" thing. Now I have no problems. Plus, as I said...you can change the default memory usage for FF and that should help too.
Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

My iPad is no longer communicating with my wireless printer since last two upgrades!

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

I'm unable to update my apps or download new apps to my Iphone. When I try I get a message "An unknown error has occurred". It was happening before and after the last OS upgrade. I've done a hard reboot with no effect. Any suggestions???

Have either of you had any luck with this issue. It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes. I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

I had OS 10.5.8 on my Macbook and couldn't run turbotax 2012 because of that. I purchased Snow leopard on CD and installed it. Now, about my ABOUT this mac says 10.6.8. Now, I can't print to my Lexmark z705. I get an error message.

Unless there are drivers provided by Apple to work with the printer, you're out of luck. The latest drivers provided by Lexmark are for OS X 10.4 Intel. Unfortunately, this can happen when slightly older peripherals and newer software don't mesh.

PDF Virtual Printer Queue has doc print errors but PDF's created

This has probably been answered already somewhere here, but I can't seem to find a current solution.
I am using Windows 7 64bit Pro and Acrobat X Pro. When printing to a PDF from any source - word, excel, email, the PDF is created correctly, but my PDF Printer Queue shows a document print error and leaves the doc in the queue.
This wasn't happening before so I am not sure if it's a known issue that an update has fixed or something else. If there is another thread that has the answer, let me know. Or a link to the fix would be great! Thanks.

Hi, try instead: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
It works for current OS versions. If other dialogs appear, continue to add the printer.
The printer will be called localhost. Select it to print from eTax and choose the option to " Print to pdf"
Directions previous were to go to the manufacturers site, not the Apple site for the install, but its ok, link above is a better alternative.
Apologies….
Cheers

Cannot Create ramdisk error during Upgrade (Scratchconfig isnt working?)

I am trying to use Update Manager to upgrade ESXi 5.1 to ESXi5.5. I am getting the error "Cannot create a ramdisk of the size 333mb to store the upgrade image."
The ESXi has plenty of disk/ram left.
I have researched and found an issue where the scratchconfig was pointing at a non-existent device. I set the scratchconfig and rebooted.
After the reboot in the new folder I did see the various var,core,logs etc folders, however I still get this Cannot create ramdisk error when trying to upgrade.
I tried from various articles /vmfs/volumes/datastore uuid/.locker-host and /vmfs/volumes/datastore uuid/scratch, both with the same result.
I confirmed I can write in these new folders.
Everytime the log still says ERROR', test 'SPACE_AVAIL_ISO', expected '349773754', found '0' despite the scracthconfig.
What I am doing wrong?

It turns out another group had created another administrator account and removed administrator access from the root account.
/etc/vmware/hostd/authorization.xml shows that the root user has lost the 'Administrator' role:
<ACEData id="10">
<ACEDataEntity>ha-folder-root</ACEDataEntity>
<ACEDataId>10</ACEDataId>
<ACEDataIsGroup>false</ACEDataIsGroup>
<ACEDataPropagate>true</ACEDataPropagate>
<ACEDataRoleId>-5</ACEDataRoleId>
<ACEDataUser>root</ACEDataUser>
</ACEData>
When ACEDataRoleId is set to '-1' this indicates Administrator. In your case, the Role has been set to -5 which is not a defined role and likely hardened to do nothing.

When I try to print something, my "documents library opens which creates a printing "error" .

I have downloaded and installed the HP Drivers for my new windows 7 lap top in the windows programs and in the Mozilla program (fire fox). I can print without any problem from any of the windows programs but not from fir fox. As soon as I click on "print" in fire fox, my "Documents Library" page opens and a message comes up saying, "Unknown Printing error occurred while printing" and no printing occurs.

Is your printer selected in Firefox? <br />
Sounds like you may have a '''Print to file''' or other software printer selected in the '''Printer''' > '''Name''' box.

Export PDF creates 0kb file and Print Error.

By "Print Error", I mean a simple pop-up window with the pages logo and the sentence "Print. Error while printing" even though I haven't asked for anything to be printed. The resulting pdf file is zero k in size and useless.
I had this problem in iW '06 and thought that '08 might fix it. No dice though.
Deleating prefs did not fix the issue. ['06 or '08]
Anyone? Thanks.

I suspect that you've turned off a couple fonts with Font Book (or perhaps removed them from the Fonts folder). Pages expects certain fonts to exist - even if we don't use them or even want them.

10.9.4 upgrade created a printer problem

I upgraded to 10.9.4 on Wednesday and now I can no longer print to my Canon MF5950dw printer. My Mac mini is connected to the printer by an ethernet cable through a router. It printed just fine before the upgrade. After the upgrade I repeatedly received the message that my mac could not connect to the printer. So I went into system preferences and opened the printers dialog and deleted the printer thinking I would add it back in again. Well, now nothing appears in the add printer window -- its totally blank. My mac won't detect the printer. I tried installing the combo upgrade but the problem remains. Any insight provided for resolving this printer problem would be much appreciated.

No result after applying the Reset the printing system.
No printer is visible in the "add printer screen".
The printer is a Canon MP 510.
The printer is directly connected via USB to on elf the USB ports of my iMac.
The printer in switch on.
Restarting the system does not solve the problem either.
Before 10.9.4 upgrade all printer drivers were up to date and the printer was working fine.
Any other idea of solving this problem?

I am unable to print to a Lexmark C782 printer

I have been troubleshooting a print issue for 2 weeks. I have two iMac desktops. I am trying to print to Lexmark_C782 printers via ethernet. I have selected the printers through System Preferences>Printers and Scanners. When adding the printers I select the "+" sign, select the printer on the default tab. iMac finds the correct print driver (which I have downloaded and installed). I then select ADD and the printer is loaded into the print queue. I send a print job to the printer and a few things happen; 1, the print job disappears and never prints and the print queue shows nothing in the queue. 2, I will send a print job to the printer and the printer will display a 900 or 900.43 RIP software error or 3, on occasion it has printed (very rare). This same thing happens when using IPP and LPD. At this writing, I am unable to add printers using IPP, where as before I could. IPP doesn't find the printers. Apple is unable to find the printer. I can open the terminal window and ping the printer. I can open Safari and brtowse to the webpage of the printer.
There has not been any changes to the computer.
Computer iMac
O/S X version 10.9.2
Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8GB
Serial Number D2*******8J3
Toubleshooting steps
1. Deactivated Appletalk on printers. I have read it is no longer supported, Apple uses bonjour
2. I have downloaded and installed the Mac OSX print driver from Lexmark but found that wasn't the latest.
3. I have made sure the latest print driver is installed. Version 11.2. Found that on the Apple website
4. I have innstalled the printer via IPP, LPD and bojour
5. I have 18 C782 printers
6. I have a network at my office
     16 workstations
     The workstation i am working on is connected into a switch that is connected into another switch in the closet
     All C782 printers are in one physical location with static IP addresses.
     They are all connected into a 24 port switch which is then connected to another switch in a closet
     Both switches are connected via different CAT 5 cables to the same switch in the closet.
7. I am trying to print from Adobe programs.
8. With the exact same setup I am able to print successfully from Windows 7 to all printers without any type of errors
All of the printers are printing images, creative fonts on greeting cards (Adobe In Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc). Not sure if that matters but thought worth mentioning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I talked to Adobe Support tonight and found this issue to be a known problem with some of the Adobe Cloud products when using older hardware, in this case the C782.
So, we found a workaround. Unfortunately the work around isn’t efficient and adds more steps to their normal printing routine
Open InDesign and create, modify delete the card
Select FileàExport
A window will appear. Pick the location you wish to save the file
Once the File is saved another window will appear
“EXPORT Adobe PDF”
An Export to Adobe PDF window will appear. Accept all defaults. MAKE CERTAIN “VIEW PDF
After EXPORTING” is CHECKED
Select Export
Once EXPORT is complete the file will open automatically in Adobe Acrobat
Most likely the screen will be very large
Select the + - sign at the top of the page to adjust the page size to view the image
Select FileàPrint
The Print window will appear
Select the printer from the drop down
# of COPIES is just below Printer
Select OK
I hope this helps anyone who is having similar issues
Thanks
