Lexmark Printer issues since downloading OS 10.6.8

I have recently updated my Apple OS system to 10.6.8 and now my Lexmark x4650 wont print, although it will still scan any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Try to delete the Lexmark print queue under Print and Fax and add a new one manually. Click on the link for the steps: http://bit.ly/Ojbyti
If it doesn't work, uninstall the Lexmark driver and download an updated driver online at www.lexmark.com.

  • Lexmark printer issues

    Hi all,
    Just got an AEBS yesterday and have be trying to set this thing up. I've heard how easy it is but let me tell ya, i must be brain dead or something. I've connected the printer via USB to the AEBS. The airpot utility even shows the printer under printers here. I downloaded the new firmware also.
    When I go to print from my mac i get this error.......
    "there is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or stop jobs and try again.
    If i connect the printer direct usb to the mac, no problem.
    I've downloaded new drivers for the printer and have looked at the lexmark site for compatible printers. This one the x5470 is not shown on the compatible list. Could this really be the issue here? if so i'd hate to say it but I'll have to take the AEBS back. I really need to be able to print from my mac without having to switch cables from one computer to the other.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Ipod Nano and Lexmark printer issue

    Hiya,
    I have a customer who has one of our computer systems with a strange problem with an iPod and Lexmark printer.
    We have inspected the computer hardware itself and find that not to be an issue but when discussing the customers problem over the phone and trying various things, it appears when they have a Lexmark printer installed - IIRC it was a Z517, Windows XP is unable to find the drivers for the iPod nano - even with the driver disc inserted into the drive.
    If he disconnects the Lexmark printer from the computer, and then plugs his iPod back in, Windows is then able to find the drivers fine.
    If he removes the iPod and reconnects the printer, and then reconnects the iPod the problem comes back until the printer is removed.
    I was just wondering if anybody had come across this before and if there was a solution for this? I have been unable to find any previous documentation on this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Thanks for your reply.
    A bit of an update after speaking to the customer yesterday...
    He had his iPod nano replaced under g'tee as he thought there might have been an issue with the iPod itself (this was yesterday). So he got a whole new product package (unit, cables, software...) but he still gets the problem.
    Now when we had the computer back for testing, we also had his printer here. I had plugged in my Nokia N80 mobile, my iPod mini (without iTunes, just as disc drive mode), a USB memory stick, the Lexmark printer (Z517) and a SD memory card in the memory card reader - the problem did not arise what so ever - all functions were working correctly... transferring data between memory devices, printing on the printer - these were plugged in different ways around so that all devices were eventually plugged into the same USB controller at least once together. No whether there is a different power requirement for the iPod mini compared to the iPod nano I am not sure – although I would have thought the Nano would require less?!
    When he plugs in the iPod, it comes up with the usual “found new hardware” message and asks him to install the drivers – in which Windows quickly replies it is unable to find any – this is with the Lexmark printer connected. Now if he disconnects the printer and reconnects the iPod by itself, again, windows has found new hardware and finds the right drivers for it almost straight away so I don’t think there is a power issue as this happens no matter what port its plugged into
    I don’t think it has anything to do with faulty hardware as the printer has been replaced by Lexmark, the iPod has been replaced by the store where he bought it and we have tested his computer tower (at the place of manufacturer) with loads of other devices together and in different port combinations and we have been unable to replicate the fault…
    Only other thing I can think of is there is just a general incompatibility between these 2 products and they just do not like each other, but on searching there does not seem enough “help my iPod does not work due to such and such a device” messages to support this theory.
    Another theory is that it could be the USB chipset on the motherboard of the computer and when these 2 devices are connected at the same time, they go completely mental and start throwing a tantrum – although the motherboard is using the good old Via USB Rev 5+ chips (as reported by Windows)…
    I am at a complete loss!

  • ITunes 7.5 -- anybody else had GIGANTIC iPod issues since download???

    My Gen 5 will not mount and I constantly get an error message when linking to the USB port.
    It seems that a lot of people are having issues since this version came out with this specific model. I would appreciate getting some more stories before I make the trek to the Apple store.

    I had this problems with iTunes 7.6 and Mac OS 10.5.2 and after hoping for an answer here I'm answering my own question for the benefit of others who are having a similar problem. As no one answered here, I finally called Apple support. The tech walked me through resetting my MacBook - not the iPod and it worked! To reset it, shut down. After completely shut down power back on and when you hear the on chime immediately, really simultaneously press option, command, and the P & R keys all at once (one needs some manual dexterity for this). Keep all the keys pressed down until you hear the chime a second time and release. The computer should then start up. After all booted up I opened iTunes, connected my iPod and it synced fine.
    Of course, now I'm afraid to download any new updates.

  • Printing problem since downloaded Windows 10

    I own a Brother 7820 N (printer, fax, scan, copier). Ever since I downloaded Windows 8.1, I can no longer scan. Tonight, given that problem, I downloaded Windows 10. Now, I can't even successfully print, despite being given a PIN and purportedly setting up (successfully, according to some HP message) my computer with the printer. Please help. 

    Hi,
    Would it be possible for you to let me know the following details:
    1. Have you tried to re-install the Printer Driver?
    2. Have you tried printing from any other application. Do you see the same results?
    3. Could you try and see if Solution 2 on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html helps (i.e. Turning Duplex Printing OFF.) It could be a case wherein your printer does not support Duplex Printing and that might be causing the issue.
    Thanks

  • Printing issues since upgrade to Mac OS 10.6.7

    Hello,
    since I upgraded to Version 10.6.7, my Canon LBP3100 doesn't print black writing anymore. Everything else just like printing pictures works fine. Reinstalling the printer's driver didn't help and the printer used to work before I upgraded Mac OS 10.6.7...
    Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix this issue? I find this to be pretty ridiculous, they better work on getting this problem fixed because I really don't feel like downgrading or using programs like printtherapy in order to restart the cups-printer-service every time after restarting my macbook....
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Canon released an updated CAPT driver to resolve this issue. You can obtain v3.31 via this link. Before installing this latest version, delete the print queue in Print & Fax (select the printer and press the minus button) and then open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon and trash the CAPT folder. With this removed you can now run the new v3.31 installer and then add the printer again.

  • Printer issue since update towards Yosemite

    Hello,
    I have a Ricoh Aficio SP C240sf which was working pretty fine.
    Since I've upgraded my iMac towards Yosemite, it's not working anymore.
    I'm continuously getting "Stop - filter failed".
    I've deleted the printer, reinstalled the driver and reinstalled the printer.
    (Unfortunately, the driver is not available in the App store so I had to download it from the vendor's website.)
    It's still not working.
    What can I do?
    Thanks a lot!

    Search here for similar Ricoh threads. A few possibilities:
    1) Use the PCL driver (Re: Yosemite breaks Ricoh/Lanier Aficio SP C240DN)
    2) Use Matt Broughton's foomatic rip (Re: Ricoh MP C2500 not printing after upgrading to Yosemite)
    Hope this helps.

  • Multiple issues since downloading mavericks involving slow computer / google mail / skype etc

    I hav 2 mac's only 1 downloaded the Mavericks and regret doing it. Generally the computer is so much slower, where its suppose to increase the speed??  Issues to be more specific -
    Safari - about half the speed it was
    Time machine - use to automatically reset when reboot and does not do this
    Skype - after a period of time the sound cuts so that incomoimng messages are muted so i miss calls
    Google - apart from being slow it requires multiple daily retype of the password as it blocks gmail after a few hours, i get multiple downloads of dupl;icated messages.
    screen saver suddenly became very complicated to get my iphoto pics included in the search options
    I run Outlook for Mac 2011 which is a v good package and before Maverick was fine but is now super slow
    i am downloading all the upgrades hoping that fixes will appear but this maverick upgrade is a disaster...

  • Sync issues since downloading new iTunes

    After downloading the new ITunes, I bought some songs, then tried to sync up my iPhone using my USB and my desktop, since the desktop is where I did my purchasing.  As soon as I hooked the phone up, a message box appeared that said "Cannot sync because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".. what the heck is that and how do I start it??

    This has been discuss many time on the forum, you can do a quick search - there have been solutions for that problem.  Or you can look to more like this -------------------------------------------------------->

  • AE CS5 ISSUE Since downloading OS X Yosemite

    When I open up AE, it gives me this....Is there an issue with
    w & AE CS5

    Two things:
    You seem to have opened the render engine instance, not the full After Effects application.
    After Effects CS5 is not supported on Mac OSX v10.10 (Yosemite). See the system requirements for After Effects CS5.

  • Linking Macbook air to lexmark printer

    Can someone advise what I am doing wrong. Just bought macbook air and trying to link it to my lexmark printer x9575. Downloaded driver and works with usb connection but when I try to print worelessly, it does not connect to printer.  Printer is on network and prints fine with other computers in the network. Mac is fine , wifi and internet etc all working, so why are they not linking up?

    Hi there mernalmonster!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue with printing from your MacBook Air. First, make sure you have set up the printer properly by taking a look at the steps in the following article:
    Mac Basics: Printing in OS X Mountain Lion & OS X Lion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
    You may want to take special note of this line in the instructions as well:
    Tip: If you want a Windows PC to use a Mac printer share to print, install Bonjour Print Services for Windows.
    If you are still experiencing issues after double-checking your settings in the previous article, then you may need to reference this article about troubleshooting printing issues:

  • Since downloading Mtn.Lion my epson printer doesn't work correctly & the entire system seems to be slower plus my iMac now disconnects from my wifi every time the mac sleeps. Can anyone help me with these issues?

    I am having problems with my Imac (approx 1 yr old) every since I downloaded (from the App.Store) Mountain Lion.  I am a working mom with 3 toddlers.....I have very little time to work on the computer which I primarily use for photograhpy needs.  I am not computer savvy enough to figure out how to "fix" the new issues/problems and am frustrated.  I am hoping someone can help me........
    Issues just since downloading Mountain Lion:
    1)  My Epson R2400 printer is not printing properly.  It wouldnt print at all from CS5 the first 2 days.  Then just started printing.  The prints aren't nearly as good as they used to be.  I just installed Photoshop Elements 10 and have been able to print but the prints are just awful. I printed a test page and it was perfect.  I've triple checked the settings in the print dialogue box to ensure the correct paper is chosen, etc.  I've never let the printer manage the color before but it is the only option that gives a mediocre print at best.
         I've gone to Epson.com.   It says to update driver through Apple for Mtn. Lion.  According to my computer I have no updates.  Printer is connected via USB. Changed the ports, turned printer on & off.  Emailed epson & they said to reset the print queue, which I did.  Restarted the IMac Still no luck.  (The error message I got when trying to print from CS5 is "filter failed." But, as stated before it just started printing today as I was typing this.      
          I print out pics quite a bit and it seems the only time I have ever had problems is when I upgraded the OSX system. Why is that??  When I upgraded to 10.7 is when I first realized my print quality went down.
    2)  Now every time I "wake" up my computer it has become offline and has to go through the steps to reconnect to my wifi.  Never did that before Mtn.Lion.  I purchased the Airport Extreme Dec 2011.  My computer was always connected before the update.  Now I have to scroll down & pick my network & wait for it to connect before proceeding.   I double checked preferences and it is set up to check for updates automatically.  What is that about??
    3)  It just seems that my system overall is slower.  I love my mac but I am frustrated because I don't have the free time needed to do all this problem solving.  I just need it to work properly when I have a few minutes to work on a picture.  I imagine there are other issues, but these are the only  2 areas I've focused on since the upgrade.
    I've read different views/feedback on Mtn Lion but haven't come across the printer issue or the wifi connection issue.
    Can anyone direct me towards a solution? I really appreciate it!
    T

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • Since downloading the most current iTunes software I can no longer print the insert (label) for a jewel case.  The songs are printed over each other and can not be read.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Since downloading the most current iTunes software I am no longer able to print an insert (label) for a jewel case.  I click on print, choose jewel case and then it doesn't matter which option I choose for the insert it will only print the songs over each other in a 1 inch section so that it can not be used or read.  If instead of clicking on the jewel case I click on list it works fine and prints an appropriate list.  I have always updated the iTunes software the first time I am offered to do so and I have never had a problem printing the jewel case inserts.  Since this issue is not about a piece of hardware iTunes help will not help me. 

    Did you ever get a response?
    If you so how did you correct the problem?
    I have the exact problem you had.
    Please let me know.
    Thank you

  • I have a 27in. i5 2011 iMac. Since downloading mountain lion, I can't print or scan, using an Epson AIO Artisian 835, plus I can't do upgrades. and of course I lose wi-fi. I think if I could do upgrades, I could fix the print/scan problem. Any ideas?

    I've had several problems since downloading Mountain Lion. As with many others, I lose wi-fi on wake-up. I've also lost my ability to print or scan and I can't do upgrades. If I can't fix these issues, can I uninstall Mountain Lion and go back to Lion?

    What is wrong with your Mac?  You still haven't told us what the problem is. Is the computer still under warranty or Apple Care?
    the next time i attempted to use the computer it wasn't fine
    What do you mean by "wasn't fine".  We can't see your computer so you'll have to describe what your're experiencing in detail without the editorializing.
    Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits.
