Lexmark printer not working with os 10.6.8

I Have a mac laptop that i recently upgraded to os 10.6.8. I have a lexmark prospect se pro 208 printer that worked wirelessly before the update. I upgraded the lexmark drivers to match 10.6.8 but now it will not print wirelessly or when connected with a USB cable. I tried the fix mentioned in roadhouse tech blog to replace CUPS with cups from 10.6.7 but same result. Can any one help me with this problem?
many thanks.....rRobert

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 Not Working. Model X4580

Hi,
Can anyone help?
I have a Macbook Pro, running Lion. I also have a Wireless Lexmark Printer Model X4580.
Does anyone know whether there are any drivers for this printer, when I plug it in, the apple update can't find any, and I've had a look on the Lexmark site and downloaded some of the drivers they recommend, but it just won't have it!
It has worked previously with my mac when I had snow leopard, but since I've gone to Lion it just won't work.
Thanks.
Chris

Sounds to me like only the USB print queue was added. You'll need to add a network print queue under Print & Fax. Try these steps:
Navigate to: System Preferences > Print & Scan
Click + .
On the Default tab, select the printer from the list of discovered printers.
A print queue will be created in Print & Scan.
Do this while the USB cable is unplugged. Please tell me how it goes.

Printer not working following iPad uodate

Printer not working following iPad upgrade

Hi,
Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
Thanks

I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written. Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable. Since IE9 there have been new .dll involving printing
which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools. However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.

Lexmark X4650 not working

Hi,
I am not sure about how to post here but I cannot get my Lexmark printer working. I have Mac Mini with 10.6.2. I have tried installing all the drivers from the Lexmark site and they install fine, but when I run the Lexmark Assistant, the print is not detected. I tried changin the SSID for my network. My printer is detected and works via usb but not wireless. I then hooked it up to my old Windows XP computer and ran setup and it worked fine. Added it as shared and I see it on my Mac but same error when installing.
Any help would be great!
Thanks...mutt

Tried and no luck. I emailed them and they had me do a complete un-install and I re-installed with the driver they sent me....no luck. I asked at the Apple store and they said the same thing to try, but I have already tried the re-install trick. Anyone else having these problems since updating to 10.6.2?

Printer not working with one program

Recently upgraded my OS from 10.4 to 10.6 Reinstalled the printer as well.
Printer: Lexmark X4650
It works fine printing pdf files from preview and documents from Open Office, but I can't get my insurance billing software to print anymore.
Software: Customer Pro-File
Maker: landsw.com
Base Program: FileMaker Pro Runtime 8.5v1
Maker: filemaker.com
The grey print menu will come up, but when I click on the blue print button nothing happens and the menu doesn't go away.
I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Lexmarks website to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have never used the software you mention but I wonder if your issue is that the print dialog is expecting some other setting to be selected? Or there could be an additional window appearing behind the print dialog that you don't see and this is expecting some response before it will print? Both of these could explain why the Print button does not appear to function.
You should also check Console (located in Applications > Utilities). This may show you why the application is not working and this log information could assist the developer with determining a solution.
One last suggestion would be to open the print menu again and see if you have the PDF button in this menu like what appears for other applications. If you do select it and see if this closes the print dialog.

IPP printing not working on Mavericks, but got it to work with LPD...

Hi,
Although I've already solved this problem, maybe someone else can use this fix...
I got a new MacBook with OSX Mavericks installed, but I was unable to get my printer to work. It's a Lexmark x203n, available as a network printer. It installed correctly, but printing didn't work. I saw the print job appearing in the print queue, however, the printer didn't respond to it.
On an older system, an iMac, it always worked, and on a Windows laptop I was still able to print, so the printer was not dead. I had already reinstalled my iMac with Mavericks, and the printer was not functioning there as well, so I expected that it was the OS.
When I wiped my iMac, and reinstalled a very old version of OSX (10.6, let it update to 10.6.6.*), I was able to print with it. Investigating the network traffic using Wireshark, I noticed that the older version used LPD, where Mavericks is using IPP.
In the printer settings page you don't see any details, so I couldn't compare them. However, I enabled the CUPS webinterface (on the terminal: $ cupsctl WebInterface=yes), and so the different connection ports. I changed the connection to what it is on the older version of OSX, and got it to work.
Working: dnssd://Lexmark%20X203n._printer._tcp.local.
Not working: dnssd://Lexmark%20X203n._ipp._tcp.local.
Maybe Apple Support can pick this up...
Cheers,
Ties

Please post it on apple.com/feedback to be sure someone from Apple reads it.
The two forms starting with " dnssd:// " mean that you just entered (or found) a different form of the URI to print via Bonjour. Not LPD vs IPP. Apple does need to see this and hear that one worked while the other didn't.

Dell Printer not working

I'm am working on an iBook and my friend has a Dell XP desktop. We are on a wireless network and can share files. I want to be able to wirelessly print to his Dell A920 which is connected via USB to his computer.
I am able to connect to the printer and set it up...i.e. I can use Printer Setup Utility navigate to his computer select the connected printer and everything. However, I am not able to selected what kind of printer it is because Dell isn't a choice, so I leave it as Generic.
When I go to print a word document the printer makes noise (sounding like it's going to print) and a status bar showing the printing process shows up on the Dell's screen. Except, it goes from 0 - 100% in about 2 sec, then closes, and never prints. To me the problem seems to be that I can't select what type of printer it is in Printer Setup Utility and therefore there is no driver and I can't print.
Does anyone know what this Dell's associated driver is. I think that Epson makes Dell's printers. Thank you very much.

Lexmark make many of the Dell printers, however following earlier posts on this the Lexmark drivers will not work with Dell printers.
The A920 is similar to the Lexmark X1150 so you could try that driver, but previous experience tells me it probably won't.
As there is no Mac driver for the Dell printer you will need to print to PDF, pass the file onto the PC and print from there.
The Generic Printer option won't work as the A920 is not a postscript printer.

Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
- from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
- go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
- go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
delee the PDF port monitor if present
3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
again delete and pdf printer subkey
If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
Copy and pate the following commands in order
1: net stop spooler
2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
3: net start spooler
4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
That should set back the pdf printer.
This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

Hi Hussein,
Yes, I am able to print seed concurrent report (o/p -text) to that printer (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
When i do the same for xml publisher publisher report to the same printer , its not working using bursting control file.
I too made the test in xml publisher report without bursting control file , there i faced another new issue. Let me explain
1. We are using RDF as data source . here o/p :-" XML "
2. We are using RTF as layout. In template definition, i chose the default o/p type as :- "HTML"
3. When i submit the request, i choose the printer which is working fine for printing seeded report. (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
4. My printer getting prints HTML tag, instead of desired o/p. I wondered after seeing the printout.
5. I cross checked by clicking view output, its showing me the exact html output as per RTF layout.
Dont know wat happening ??? Help me out.
i did the same for changing default output type in template definition to RTF,PDF.. its printing source code of the output type instead of printing output.
Thanks & Regards,

Why does my Kodak printer not work with yosemite?

ever since upgrading to yosemite, my kodak printer will not work. i got as far as being able to download a software update but still no joy.

My kodak 5250 would not print and I tryed the termial with no luck and then i received an email from nowater and turn on Bonjuor in safair and now I am printing i did not enter the ip address of my printer
heres the email
I decided to poke around in the Epson settings via the web interface. To do this, just enter the printer's IP address in a browser that's on the same network (you may have to skip some HTTPS / certificate warnings). From there I looked around until I found Wi-Fi/Network Settings / Services / Protocol. On my system, Use Bonjour was unchecked. I had seen in other people screenshots and videos that when the Add Printer tool works, it shows that it connects via Bonjour Multifunction, so I enabled Bonjour and saved the settings. After waiting a few minutes for the settings to be applied, I was able to add the printer via the Add Printer Default tab (I did change the "Use" setting from "Secure AirPrint" to "Epson WF-3620 Series" option -- I think this is the Epson specific driver).
I don't know if Bonjour is disabled by default or if I turned it off somehow in the past and forgot, but it's an easy enough fix that might work for someone else so I thought I should share.
OTHER posible solotion
Go to Spotlight, then enter Terminal and press Enter.
The terminal window/program opens.
Enter sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf' in the terminal.
Enter your system OS login password when prompted.
Note: The password you enter will not appear, which is normal. Be sure to enter the correct password.
Enter sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsdYour screen will look similar to the following:
