Leopard upgrade issue printing to Xerox Docucolor 5000

We recently upgraded to Leopard and have come up with an issue printing to our Docucolor 5000. When printing multiple copies of a page set up for landscape from AI CS3 or CS4 the first page prints okay. On subsequent pages the paper has flipped to protrait, although the are remains in landscape. Any thoughts on how to overcome this?
Has happened to all of our Macs (all identical) with the upgrade. No other changes to our hardware or software.
Docucolor 5000
Fiery EXP50
Driver: Fiery Docucolor 5000 v2.0

Hello Terry. We had the same problems with our Canon printers that use the Fiery print controller. After blaming Adobe for the problem EFI, the makers of the Fiery, released a patch and updated driver that resolved this orientation problem. So I suggest you contact your Xerox support to see if they have these same fixes for your model of Fiery. Or you could check the EFI web site for any updates.

Windows XP - Missing text when printing to Xerox Docucolor

Currently printing Illustrator CS3 from a Windows XP to a CREO driver running a Xerox Ducucolor 240.
Sent a document and discovered some of the text was missing. It was a label set up 2-up on the page and the missing text occurred in the upper label, but was not missing on the lower label.
I went back to see if I had not duplicated all of the label and discovered that the document was complete.
Without changing the document, I sent it again. This time it printed correctly.
What could make the document lose some of the content?

Something likely happened during the transmission of the job to the printer. It could be a fluke but if it happens again, you should check all your connections, condition of your wires and cables, and your power protection.
Could also have been a blip with Illy and/or whatever other apps you had running at the same time; a slight conflict somewhere occurring at the exact wrong nanosecond.
ETA:
In other cases (though not in this one), it could be a font issue. Corrupt font, duplicate font on your system or with the printer. It could also be an issue with the Illy file itself; not exactly a bad idea to copy everything and place it in a new file.

HELP snow leopard upgrade *MISSING PRINTER PROFILES*

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and since then I have not been able to use my normal printer profiles in Photoshop CS (don't laugh, I like CS).
I used to be able to select "Print with Preview" and then under 'Print Space:' then 'Profile' I could select either Epson Photo Paper Glossy or Epson Premium Luster. After the upgrade there are no Epson Profiles and only generic selections which cause prints to be way off colorwise and intensity.
Please help. Snow Leopard has been nothing but a huge headache ever since I upgraded.

You'll need to install the most recent print drivers. Are you in the US? Go to epson.com and make sure you install all the suggested Epson updates such as the Common Updates.

Leopard Upgrade Issue (Fixes Don't Work)

Hello all,
I have a 1Ghz Powerbook G4, and have never had OS upgrade problems before. I finally decided to upgrade to Leopard and am sharing in the Blue Screen o' Death fun that so many have experienced.
I have read through the many posts on this. I have done the APE removal stuff, repaired permissions and hard drive, and rebooted while standing on my head -- but I always come back to the BSoD.
There isn't enough room on my HD to do an Archive & Install, because I was going to dump a bunch of old files on DVD-R after I upgraded. I DID do a complete clone of my HD before I upgraded, so most everything is there but:
1) I did some logo/vector work this morning and was stupid to not at least ZIP it all up and email it to myself. I would really like to get this folder back out of my documents if at all possible.
2) Although I have a clone I have never had problems, so I have no idea how to use it. Do I restart holding down C, and use the DVD menu to restore the hard drive?
- If I do that will it be just like it was when I last backed it up?
- If I go this route, can someone tell me if I can possibly get that folder out of my documents first?
- Is there a better way for me to approach this?
Thank you all in advance for your help!
Jason

Is there a better way? Yes, but unfortunately you didn't do it the first time around which is why you are now having problems. So here's what you need to do:
1. Boot from your Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from theUtilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives.
4. Select the startup volume (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will may take several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Finish the OS X installation.
8. After the computer restarts you will be in the Setup Assistant. Be sure to create the new admin account using the save shortname and password as you are using now. The shortname is the name that appears under your Home folder.
9. You can then use Software Update to update the system software. After you complete the updating process I suggest opening Disk Utility and repairing permissions.
Once you have Leopard running you can begin the process of reinstalling your third-party applications and copying your personal files from your backup clone.
I strongly recommend that before reinstalling any third-party software that you obtain versions that are compatible with Leopard. I also suggest that you repair permissions after installing any third-party software that uses an installer (as opposed to drag and drop installing.)
From time to time perform some maintenance to keep the computer running properly:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.6.1 is Leopard compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

Mac Book RAM & Snow Leopard Upgrade Issues

My daughter in law upgraded her MacBook memory to 2 GB and installed Snow Leopard. She has iPhoto 2008. Since the upgrade, any movies imported into iPhoto will not play in iPhoto as they had before. Also, since these changes, any videos she's downloaded have a "jerky" or hesitating transition between frames so people or animal movements are not smooth.
Any thoughts as to what might be wrong and how I can fix these problems?

[Try what is suggested here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440?viewlocale=en_US]. No luck? Then I would try installing Sno over whatever is there as if doing an upgrade install.

Still any Tiger to Leopard upgrade issues?

For reasons far to boring to explain I purchased Leopard when it was first released (so its a vanilla 10.5.0 disc) but never was able to install. My Macbook Pro (15" 2.2) has an up too date Tiger install and finally I have time to upgrade. i know at the start there were frequent reports of people having real trouble upgrading (a friend of mine, after a week of stress did a fresh wipe and install to fix his errors) and I wanted to know if this is still the case with a 10.5.0 version?
{I will be superdupering a backup of my current set up just in case.}
Thanks!

Once you've made your bootable backup/clone and tested it, see these for info on the three installation options:

Snow leopard upgrade issue

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard a safari window opens intermittently on its own which is blank but has an address of http://googleads......... does anyone else encounter this?
This is the full address that comes up in the blank window!
https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/drt/si?p=CAA&ut=AFAKxlQAAAAATl09YX1ek 4aRsgtW-zOxbsWdGpCgtgdX

Personally I use Firefox, precisely because I have more control over cookies.
Sounds like Safari is dialling out in response to that tracking cookie, but handling it wrong and opening a new window. There have been a number of similar threads recently.
The cookie appears to be a persistent one; here's a reply to another thread on the subject.
First thing to try is to block Flash Cookies (Locally Stored Objects). In System Preferences / Other / Flash Player, check the option to "block all sites..."
Then hit the Delete All button. (Have a look first under the settings button if you wish)
That will take care of one kind of persistent cookie, but you should also read these articles;
http://ashkansoltani.org/docs/respawn_redux.html
http://samy.pl/evercookie/
I would also recommend Little Snitch, which will allow you to block Safari and other apps from contacting those sites.

Snow Leopard upgrade issues

The optical drive on my Macbook Pro no longer reads DVD's. That includes the Snow Leopard install disc. Is there any way I can upgrade to Snow Leopard without a functioning optical drive?

Thanks for the info. I've tried everything you mentioned as well as following the instructions in the article you sent and for some reason, when I restart the computer (with the bad optical drive), the only option I have is to startup with the existing startup disk.
The remote installler on the good computer says I should either have the Mac OS X disc image, or the option to choose a wi-fi network, depending on how I initiate the install. But each time, I don't have any other options to choose from.
I think we may be nearing the end of our rope. If you've got any more suggestions, I'd gladly accept them.
Thanks again.

MacBook Pro - Snow Leopard Upgrade issue

Just installed Snow Leopard on a 2.53GHz MacBook Pro (summer '09). The machine continues the pinwheel at bootup forever, never actually doing anything. No error, no freezing….just endless.
Any ideas of what this could be?

Basically, I went from 10.5.8 for a friend, installed Snow Leopard on his MBP, and during reboot it just gets stuck.
Repaired Permissions
Repaired Disk
Reset SMC
Re-installed Snow Leopard.
Now unsure what to do. Couldn't do an install of Leopard 10.5 except the Erase or Archive. The archive wouldn't allow me to check "Preserve users".
Does that mean I will erase all his data like documents, etc? Either way, I'd rather not have to cross that road. There must be a reason it is just sitting there. I walked a mile to grab a pack of smokes, came back and it was still just spinning endlessly, failing to boot I suppose.

Can't Print After Snow Leopard Upgrade

I have a home network centered around an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The base station is wired to a Linksys network switch which, in turn, is wired to two computers - an Apple Dual G5 running OS X 10.4.11 and a and Mac MIni which, until yesterday was running Leopard. I have an HP Laserjet P1006 connected to the USB port of the AEBS and, until yesterday, everything worked fine. Yesterday, I ran the Snow Leopard Upgrade on my Mini and now the Mini won't print to the HP over the network. If I connect the printer directly to the MIni, it works fine; as soon as I reconnect the printer to the AEBS, the Mini will no longer print. The lights on the printer will flash but nothing comes out. I have downloaded the HP Printer driver update from Apple but this didn't help. I have reset the AEBS, to no avail. The G5 running Tiger has no problems with printing. And, my daughter just got a brand-new MacBook Pro loaded with Snow Leopard from the factory and she can print to the HP over the network without any problems.
Any ideas?

When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."

After upgrading to snow leopard my Epson printer drivers did not load and i get an error 'rasteroescpll failed'. I have tried reloading the driver to no effect. Can anyone help?

I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and at the end of the upgrade the printer drivers failed to load. I have since updated them myself (Epson BX305) but still get an eror message 'rasteroescpll failed'. can anyone help?
I have an Imac previously running 5.8.0 and now running 6.3.0.
thank you
Hugh

The current driver version is 8.67.
Delete you printer.
Delete the folder /Library/Prnters/EPSON
Delete the folder /Library/Caches/Epson
Unplug your printer from your computer for 30 seconds and then plug it back in. You should be prompted to download the new drivers.
If all that fails, you can get the new drivers from Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398

Printing slow after Snow Leopard Upgrade

Hi! Newbie here! I recently upgraded my 2007 iMac to Snow Leopard and as a result my Canon BJC-2100 printer has slowed to a crawl. It seems the software adjusted the print quality to the sharpest setting but this also slowed the process way down. I don't see anything to help me adjust the print quality or otherwise change the printing speed.
I would love to hear from forum members as to how to speed the printing back up a bit. Am I doomed to have to buy another printer?
Thank you!

Thanks. Yes I went to Canon's web site and plugged in Snow Leopard for my printer. I received the following message:
"There is no driver for the OS version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver."
Too bad there doesn't seem a way for me to change the printer's settings back to the way it was.

Can I use a German Snow Leopard upgrade for my US iMac running Leopard?

I just read that for certain Intel based iMac's it is still possible to upgrade to Maverick. I'd need to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, first, to start the process. The issue is that I'm in Germany. The German Apple site sells the Snow Leopard upgrade, but I don't know if I can use it to upgrade my US iMac (early 2008/Intel based/ running 10.5.8)? Does anybody know if there is a difference between the German and the US version?

No difference what so ever other than the printing on the media.

10.7.2 to Xerox Docucolor 252 w/Creo problems

Hi we just updated our computers to an iMac i5. Now we cannot use our Xerox Docucolor 252 with Creo. Any recommendations? Your advice is greatly appreciated!
Note: Obviously, tried to use the Xerox creo software via Xerox website and even tried to load the Xerox Docucolor 252 driver software (which only provides the PPD at this time).
Most posts recommend retro- installing back to Snow Leopard, but were trying to avoid that.
Help!

OK Im responding to my own question but hopefully this will help others trying to use Lion (10.7.2) and printing on their Xerox printers using Creo print servers to their various Xerox printers.
To setup a new Xerox / Spire printer click on system preferences, and then on print &
Scan.
Click on the + icon at the bottom left:
Right click the toolbar. If on a Mac with only one button enabled, click on control click
the toolbar.
You will see the following menu items, click on Customize toolbar menu item.
Click and drag the Advanced icon and move to toolbar, then click on done.
Now click on Advanced Icon:
The Advanced Icon will show the following as default:
Click on Type and Select the LPD/LPR Host or Printer:
Manually type the IP address and print queue:
Sample: lpd://172.xx.xx.xxx/processprint
Under Print Using select Other:
This will give you a window, navigate to where the Xerox / Spire drivers are.

Mavericks won't print to Xerox Phaser 6300.

Mavericks has my printer in the list of available devices, but tells me that the printer is not connected and won't print. Xerox only has updates to Mountain Line in their driver downloads.
Anyone else having a similar problem?

Update:
Checked the printer Settings to confirm the Printer's address. When I use the Setting to check the Wi-Fi Settings, I get a message saying "This computer appears to have a working Internet connection, but can't find Phaser 6300DN (00L00:aa:95:47:31).printer._tcp.local. You may have typed the address incorrectly.
The address is 00:00:aa:95:47:31 so I don't know where all the parenthetical data is coming from.
The network setting seems to be at the heart of the issue, but I'm not sure how to resolve them.
