Lion thinks I'm out of toner

All of a sudden Lion thinks I am out of toner on my Lexmark Optra S 1255. I have no problems printing from the 2 other machines which are still on 10.6.8. I have tried deleting the printer and reseting all printers. No luck. Help.

I too am having the "low toner" problem. I am using the stock Lemark drivers for Snow Leopard. Printer works just fine, but I keep getting the low toner warning (even tho I just put in a brand new toner cartridge).
I am running 10.6.8 on an iMac (early 2011), 3.2GHz processor with 4GB memory.
The printer is a Lexmark Optra S 2455.
Driver Version:          10.4
Default:          Yes
URI:          lpd://10.0.0.50/Optra%20S
PPD:          Lexmark Optra S xxx5 Series
PPD File Version:          10.7.0
PostScript Version:          (2016.100) 961213
CUPS Version:          1.4.7 (cups-218.31)
The printer works fine, but it annoying and I'm concerned that I'll ignore when it really needs a new cartridge.

Lion Server not handing out DHCP addresses to Snow Leopard client

I have been pulling my hair out over this.
Here is the layout
Lion Server running on the newest Mac Mini and doing mail, DNS, DHCP, Software update and has a valid, not self assigned, certificate
3 clients running Lion Desktop (2 iMACs and a MBP pro (all no more that a year old and all woth the current updates)
1 client running Snow Leopard Desktop (last years 13 inch MBA)
The 3 Lion clients can get dhcp fro mthe Lion server without any issue
The SL client cannot get a DHCP address from the Lion server
A tcpdump shows the DHCP request coming from the MAC address of the SL client but no response from the Lion Server and nothing showing a deny in the logs for the DHCP server or any other system/kernel logs. The Lion clients all show the request and reply for them. All 4 clients currently have a static assignment in DHCP but even if I remove them all and do auto-assign for everything or even each one individually, the SL client will not get an address both on the Wifi and Ethernet (I have the USB ethernet adapter).
I also have an Aiport Extreme and if I use that for the DHCP server then all clients get the addresses. I know the DHCP server in the extreme cannot be shut down but if you give the extreme a static address then assign dhcp on the extreme to only give out one address and that is the same one that is statically assigned then it "thinks" it is out of addresses and no longer tries to assign addresses
At first I thought there was a conflict between the extreme and the Lion server but as I mentioned above, tcpdump clearly shows the requests going right to the Lion server
I'm usually pretty good at this kind of thing but this one has me stumped. I'm thinking bug, anyone else run into this yet?

Has it ever worked? Is the Wireless controller configured to forward DHCP
requests to your DHCP server?

Lion thinks I have two monitors connected

I have a MacPro 2008 with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT.
I have two monitors, a Phillips 27" and a Samsung 19"
I set up the system with the two monitors connected to the graphics card and everything was fine.
I have since disconnected the Samsung monitor completely from the graphics card. however Lion thinks it's still there/connected.
It's a real pain because it persists on displaying on the phantom screen and no matter what I do through System Prefs/Display I cannot get Lion to forget the monitor. Even if I gather the windows and place them one behind the other. If I click detect displays it thinks there are two there.
Looking through the forum/discussions, this appears to be a problem with Lion and not the graphics cards, as people have simpliar problems with different cards/systems and what they're outputting to.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Cheers

I have tried that fix, and it does work.
However if I every time I connect a second monitor to the graphic card the same thing happens and I don't want to have to reset preferences every time I choose have a second monitor running.
I sometimes run the second graphic channel out to my 46" Sony TV for watching catch up TV services.
Any other suggestions?
Cheers

Can I do a clean install of Lion, onto my Mac Book Pro4,1, that is currently running 10.5.8? I have seen U-tube videos on how to do a clean install to Snow Leopard, and another from SL to Lion, but can zero out my HD, and do a clean install to Lion?

Networked HP Laserjet M2727 out of toner error

I keep getting a printer out of toner error message when I try to print to a networked HP Laserjet m2727. The printer is connected to a D-Link router. Other PCs on the network can print just fine to the same printer.

The PCs are running windows. The printer is connected to the router via ethernet. I'm connected wirelessly to the router. The problem started when I updated the firmware on the M2727nf last week.

Hp LaserJet P1102w 'Printer may be out of toner' message

My printer was working (almost) fine with a regular USB wired setup from my MacBook Pro, when I upgraded my OS to Yosemite it began to claim 'Printer may be out of toner' so I installed a new cartridge (needed one anyway) and the same issue arises. I've tried reinstalling it, reseting to factory defaults etc. but to no avail. I'm now trying to connect it to the Wireless Network in the hope it might print from there but not as yet. Any help much appreciated...

Hi @bpnwainwright ,
I understand that you are getting a error that the "Printer may be out of toner", since upgrading to Yosemite. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Since the printer was working properly before upgrading to Yosemite, most likely it is just a driver issue.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer just to rule out a hardware issue.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side delete the driver, then click the + sign to add a new driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing by the USB connection.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
I have also provided the steps for setting up the printer over the wireless network.
Setting up the printer over the wireless network.
Restore the printer defaults to setup the printer on a new network. I have provided the steps for 10.9, which will also work for 10.10.

Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print a configuration page to make sure the old network settings are cleared. Printing a Configuration Page.
Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button. If it doesn't open, delete and add the printer back in again. Make sure when your adding the printer it shows the printer name. (Laserjet P1102w)
The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.

Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear) Make sure the printer listed beside use: shows the proper printer name and not the default driver, then click on the add button.
Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Test the printer.
Please let me know the outcome.
Have a great day!

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Mountain Lion keeps signing me out of twitter

Mountain Lion keeps signing me out of twitter or I get an error when on Twitter saying something went wrong reload this page. Very annoying - anyone else having this problem?

It is one of the new twitter for ML features. you have to make interesting posts or it will sign you out. It was designed to reduce the amount of crap that gets posted

I would like to install Mountain Lion when it comes out...

I have a late 2010 MBA 13 with 2GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD running OSX Snow Leopard. I'd like to install Mountain Lion when it comes out. I've heard that I must have OSX Lion first. I've always backed up my Mac using Time Machine to an external HDD, and the backups are current. My question is, I'd like a successful install of Lion, so that when ML comes out, I can buy and install that. My computer has two seperate user accounts, one for my wife and one for myself. We both use this computer and I don't want to mess any of her files, settings, etc up with either upgrade.
Would I be safe performing a backup, then buying Lion from the Mac App Store and installing it? What problems would I run into? When ML comes out, will that be an easy upgrade also?
Ryan

You actually DON'T need to have Lion installed in order to installed Mountain Lion. You can do it right from Snow Leopard.
But if you want to install Lion beforehand(which at this point I would just say to wait for ML), then yes, backup your Macintosh HD to an external hard drive or just use Time Machine, and that will back up both user accounts.

Brand new hp laserjet p1102 and new toner cartridge out of toner after less than 100 prints ! ! ! !

Hi ,
I have just bought a brand new HP laserjet p1102 and a brand new toner cartridge, and within litterally 50 sheets being printed it says I am out of toner.
Please tell me what I must do to get this working again, because clearly I am not out of toner.
Thanks

Hello , Welcome to the HP Community. I'd like to help you with the installation and printing issues you are having with your HP Laserjet Pro M201dw, on your Windows 8.1 operating system. I can certainly understand your frustration, it seems like you have attempted the install multiple times. First, I'd recommend running the Print and Scan Doctor, to see if it can resolve any errors in the software without having to re-install. If it does prompt you to re-install your software, I would suggest uninstalling all M201dw software from the Programs section of your control panel. Once that's done, do a cleanboot of your computer. You can find instructions to complete the cleanboot here: How to perform a clean boot in Windows Note: This will turn off all non-essential startup items, so if it's another program on your computer that is causing the installation to lag, it should resolve the install issue. Rather than installing from the download or the CD that came with the printer, I'd suggest downloading and running the HP Printer Install Wizard. Please respond and let me know if this helped to resolve the issue!Good luck

10.9 Reports HP Laser Jet is out of toner and will not print: printer does in fact have sufficient toner.

That message originates from the printer, not the Mac. Get in touch with HP, perhaps they have an explanation.

I think i wiped out my library!!

help! i think i wiped out my iTunes library when trying to make space on my very old MacBook! No laughs please!!!

You don't see a bunch of files and folders in an iTunes folder in your Music folder?
Pull it back out of the trash. Restore it from a backup. There's not much we can do without you being proactive and telling us what you did and what resources you have.

How do I even out sky tone

I have a photo that I used a polarizer filter on. Normally this looks good but it was a wide angle shot and the sky is dark in the middle and fades to much lighter on either side. Does anyone have a suggestions on how to even out the tone? I'm using Elements 5 on XP.
Thanks
gwen

You could try this:
-- Use the eyedropper to set your foreground color to the color of the sky at the apex and the background color to the color of the sky at the horizon in the center of the picture (where it is dark).
-- With the marquee tool select the sky portion of the picture.
-- Add a gradient adjustment layer above your current image and select the gradient you just defined. Set the layer blend mode to darken (or multiply and adjust the opacity until you get the effect you want.
-- Select a soft brush and, using the adjustment layer mask, mask out the non-sky areas.

HP Deskjet 3055A not printing because it says it has run out of toner.

After much printing of alignment pages and wasting of paper and new ink cartridges, as usual, the message is that my printer has no TONER. This is a new one on me. Can anyone help, does the HP Deskjet 3055A need toner....not ANOTHER expense. If it does it really should give some warning, its now Saturday night, and the mass of work and printing I wanted to do will obviously not be able to be done.. This product is just not satisfactory I've found.

Hi @kazmount,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are getting the message that you are out of toner for your HP Deskjet 3055a. I am sorry for this frustration, but I am happy to look into this for you!
I read on another post of yours that copying and scanning is OK, and I am glad for that.
This printer takes ink cartridges, not toner. As toner is for Laserjet printers.
What Operating System are you using on your computer? Windows or Mac? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
If you are using Windows, I would recommend to try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and please let me know what happens!
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Amiee_19,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your Ring/Silent switch may be toggled:
Ring/Silent switch - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01398
Ring/Silent switch
Flip the Ring/Silent switch to put iPhone in ring mode or silent mode .
In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.
Important: Clock alarms, audio apps such as Music, and many games play sounds through the built-in speaker, even when iPhone is in silent mode. In some areas, the sound effects for Camera and Voice Memos are played, even if the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent.
For information about changing sound and vibration settings, see Sounds and silence.
Use Do Not Disturb. You can also silence calls, alerts, and notifications using Do Not Disturb. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the Do Not Disturb button . See Do Not Disturb.
If the above does not resolve your issue, see this article:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
