Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
Printer Driver v9.33
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

First of all, what is asking for a reinstall? Did you move PSE from another computer?

Trying to download Maverick, and keep getting "an unknown error has occurred'

Trying to install maverick, keep getting 'an unknown error has occured' message when I try to login to my apple account

Just saw the post from makras.
There are always a few problems with a new OS. Apple can't police every maker of crapware that's on the planet.
If you have a WD external drive, I would transfer (not clone) the files from it to another non-WD external drive that doesn't have crapware on it, and then erase the WD drive, and then never ever again buy a WD drive.
You will find many posts on the Apple Discussions from disgruntled narcissists (a few borderlines too) who blame Mavericks for their computer problems.
Mavericks is excellent (at least for me).
Every new OS has some incompatibilities with older software. That's why if someone is an early adopter, they should understand this, and if they have a low tolerance for frustration, or are uncomfortable with basic mac maintenance and troubleshooting, they should not be an early adopter.
Seems like the vast majority of problems that people complain about on the forums are related to crapware they have acquired on their computers from previous installations and promiscuous downloading habits.

Using Sharp MX2310u with mavericks and it won't print

Hi There,
I've just bought a new iMAC, and it came with mavericks. Now the work printer won't connect. Any ideas on how to circumnavigate the need for Sharp to produce up to date drivers?

Hi Tania.
The HP Jetdirect protocol is the default protocol used by Windows, where it is called Standard TCP/IP or RAW Port 9100. So the advantage of creating the printer queue on the Mac using this protocol is that it is often enabled in the copier and it does not require a specific queue name like LPD can sometimes require.
To check what options are installed, if you know the IP address the Sharp is using, then you can enter this IP address into a web browser as the URL. This will connect to the internal web page of the copier and from one of the provided menus you should be able to see what option kit the Sharp has.

I upgraded to Mavericks and automatic updates disabled printer wifi connection

I upgraded to Mavericks and purchased new HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 printer with wireless connection. Has been working fine until today my system downloaded a bunch of upgrades automatically: I didn't know how to stop the automatic downloads (I was accustomed to deciding which ones I wanted in SnowLeopard!) but it downloaded all of them and I don't know which ones to trash and I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DISINSTALL ANY OF THEM! I am really in a quandary and about to throw the new printer and anyone else I can find out the window~
Here is list of automatic downloads:
OS X NTP Security Update; Security Update 2014-005v. 1.0; Safari v.7.1.2./ Remote Desktop Client Update v.3.7.1/ OS X Update Combined 10.9.5/ iTunes v. 12.0.1/ iBooks Update v. 1.0.1/ HP Printer Software v.3
Now the printer won't connect to Wifi (nor with USB cable)... It was working fine yesterday. I read that some updates block connections but have no idea what to do now???
HELP
Rose

Have you tried removing the HP from Printers & Scanners and then adding it back again to see if this will let you print?
You could also try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will remove all devices from the Printers & Scanners preference pane thus requiring you to add them back again. To reset, open Printers & Scanners and right click in the section where your printers are listed, A small pop-up menu will appear. Select it and confirm that you want to reset and then enter your admin password when prompted.

MAC OS X 10.6.8 print error after 1st page

In latest version of Firefox on Mac OS 10.6, the first page of a website prints fine. The second and subsequent pages all print partially off the paper. This shows up on Preview. The image for the second and subsequent pages appears to be enlarged about 25%, and based on the lower left corner, so the stop and right sides of the page are off the paper. Again this shows up in Preview. No other program, including Safari, has this problem. Am printing to a HP 6500A.

You should use the NortonAV uninstaller to uninstall it. Disabling the dreadful thing in the past hasn't always been sufficient for it to cease creating system havoc. The Mac NortonAV version has a long and well-earned reputation for doing truly seriously nasty things to OS X. Shame on Comcast for inflicting NortonAV on its Mac customers. It's not a matter of if NortonAV will mess up OS X but when and how badly. I can't help but wondering if some setting in your Norton AV has decided that NortonAV, rather than you, will be making executive decisions about what you are allowed to install on your computer and is keeping that fact a secret.
After you are done uninstalling Norton use the finder to search for any Norton files that the uninstaller might have missed. Add the option to search for invisible files.
After you have removed all the Norton bits and pieces restart in safe mode by holding down the shift key right after the startup chime. Keep holding down the shift key until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Safe mode does some maintenance tasks which means a much longer than normal startup time. Use Disk Utility to repair permission
If your Mac works normally in safe mode restart. If things still aren't fixed you might want to give another shot at reinstalling Snow Leopard from the install DVD and applying the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo before taking your Mac to the Apple Store.
If you feel the need to run AV software on your Mac use ClamXav in manual mode. It's donationware and doesn't seem to cause the litany of weird problems that are associated with other AV software.

My Mac (Maverick) no longer recognizes my printer (Canon MX870)

I have a Canon MX760, connected wirelessly to my computer via Linksys ea2700. I recently disconnected another peripheral from my router, and since then, my computer does not recognize that my printer is not just a scanner. So I can't print anything. I've tried deleting all drivers and software and re-downloading it from Canon. Everything else I could think of (deleting the printer from my printer preferences and re-selecting it, turning everything on and off again). I'm out of ideas. Any advice? I see that alot of folks had trouble getting their Mac to recognize their scanner, but not the printer.

The printer component of the MX870 uses a Canon protocol (canonijnetwork) to advertise itself of the network, while the scanner component uses Bonjour. This canonijnetwork protocol can take several seconds longer to appear compared to the Bonjour protocol. So open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add. If you get a small window with a heading of Nearby Printers, click on Add Printer or Scanner. Then from the Default add printer window, you will see the MX870 listed as a Bonjour scanner. If you wait several seconds, the printer should also appear.
If the printer fails to appear after 30 seconds then quit this window and then open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type the following
/Library/Printers/Canon
and then press Go. You will now see two folders - BJPrinter and IJScanner. Trash the BJPrinter folder and then download and install the MX870 driver. When the installation has completed, restart your Mac and then see if you can add the printer.

Migrated to a new mac pro and keep getting an install error when trying to update the creative cloud app

I get an error when I try to start creative cloud that asks me to update. I download the updated installer and run it. I then get an error that says:
Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of Creative Cloud from 'http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp'.
Following the message is two buttons. Quit and Get Creative Cloud. If I follow these directions I will sit here all day just downloading and trying to install Creative Cloud only to find out that I have a problem for which I need to download and install Creative Cloud. This would be like the person who uses a whole bottle of shampoo every time they get in the shower just because is says lather rinse repeat. Can you break this endless loop for me?

Ado Bee in the future please only migrate documents and settings. Adobe applications are not designed to be copied from one computer to another.

IE 11 and Adobe Reader 9 print Error - HELP

Hello,
At the company I work for we are trying to see if upgrading to IE 11 will work for us. Currently the ERP system we use requires a certain version of Adobe Reader, which is 9. I have done testing with XI, but no avail. Also this ERP system requires that we use IE as well (ugh) though we need IE 11 for another product. Everything works fine until trying to print a pdf from the browser, we get this print dialog which doesn't allow us to print and everything is all jumbled up. The only option is to save the pdf and print from Adobe Reader. My question is, how do we fix this and is this an Adobe Reader issue or IE?

This has helped me:
Close all instances of Internet Explorer
Start Adobe Reader
Go to the "Help" menu and click "Repair Adobe Reader"
Try again and see if the problem is still there.
I experienced the problem when upgrading Internet Explorer from 9 to 11.
Cheers Jacob

Printing Error - pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone could assist me with this. After googling like crazy for a solution I thought I had to post here on the forums. I'm a new Mac user (only a few days now) so please bear with me. I will also post this on the Java Forums because I don't know if this is a problem with my code or with the Mac settings.
Setup
I've got a Java Applet running on the mac (written in Eclipse 64 bit) on a Mac with OS X 10.6.4 on. Also, Java 1.6.0_21 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) is installed on the machine. The printer installed is a ZPL Label Printer (Zebra Technologies ZTC GK420d).
If I use another application such as TextEdit to print, it works fine.
*Problem Description*
Whenever I try print from the Applet nothing comes from the printer, my code does not break or catch any exception at all but the printer queue gives the error: *pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000.*
Code
The code I use with this Java Applet works absolutely fine on Windows XP 32 bit (IE 7.0, Google Chrome and Firefox) as well as on Windows 7 64 bit (I.E 8.0, Google Chrome and Firefox) but never on the Mac. For any developers who might be able to help, the code is below:

boolSuccess = false;
e.printStackTrace();
catch (Exception f)
System.out.println("Print Failed: " + f.getMessage());
boolSuccess = false;
f.printStackTrace();
return boolSuccess;
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this and print to the ZPL printer from my Java Applet on the Mac?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

We managed to solve our own problem. This was not directly a Java Problem, but a problem with the setup of the Zebra printer on the Mac. Printing directly to the ZPL Printer never worked and always gave the error Printing Error - pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000.
To solve this, we had to use the CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) interface. CUPS is apparently installed standard with every Mac. Being a new Mac user I didn't even know this a week ago. We had to use CUPS to add the printer, set it to be a "RAW" printer and then add something called a Class. Now when printing from the Java Applet, we DO NOT print to the actual Zebra printer, we print to the Class.
Here are the steps on how to accomplish all this:
1. As an Admin user, log onto Cups using the Safari browser by entering *http://localhost:631* into the Address Bar.
2. Select the Administration tab and click, ‘Add Printer’
3. Select the required local printer and then ‘Continue’
4. Enter a Name, Description, Location and uncheck the ‘Share This Printer’ checkbox, where:
a. Name = Queue Name (e.g. Zebra_RAW)
b. Description = Human Readable Description (e.g. Zebra1)
c. Location = Human Readable Location (e.g. My Mac mini)
5. Click ‘Continue’
6. Click ‘Select Another Make/Manufacturer’ and select ‘Raw’. Click ‘Continue’
7. Click ‘Add Printer’
8. Check that Banners are ‘none’ and Policies are ‘stop-printer’ (Error) and ‘default’ (Operation)
9. Click ‘Set Default Options’
10. Under the Administration tab, click Add Class.
11. Enter a Name, Description, Location and select the Members:
a. Name = Queue Name (e.g. ZebraRAWClass)
b. Description = Human Readable Description (e.g. ZebraRaw)
c. Location = Human Readable Location (e.g. My Mac mini)
d. Members = the Queue Name of the new raw printer
12. The only visible printers on the list then will be your non-raw printer/s and the printer class which you just created.
13. Now when printing from Java Code, you must use the class as the printer in order to print raw ZPL.
So in my example code in the previous post, I would print like this: PrintLabelZPL("^XA^FO100,40^BY3^B3,,30^FD123ABC^XZ","ZebraRaw");
And it works! I hope this can help others with the same / similar problem.

HP B110a in constant loop - cannot print, "printer error, please restart printer"

i was trying to set up the wireless feature of this printer but it never managed to get a connection to the wireless router.
after i type the WPA2 key in, all the touch buttons start flashing together and the screen says "Printer error, pleae press power button and restart printer"
now i've tried everything, even factory reset via the touch menus (have to be very fast to do the reset before the same error comes up). and basically the printer is unfunctional at the moment.
is there a method to reset it? or is there a solution?
i am using both a mac and pc, primarily mac. the wireless setup option during the mac driver installation also failed. it hung on the bit where it tries to connect to the router so i restarted everything after an hour of waiting.

Hey guys,
I had this same problem and have finally fixed it. For more details please see my thread over here:

How to change Mac Mavericks colors?

Hey
I have installed the new Mac Mavericks and it's nice but I wanna change the color of the bar up the one has the time and search and that things. It's green now maybe because of the Mavericks background but can I change the bar's colors only without the background?
Thanks!

You can't change the colour of the menu bar unless you use 3rd party utilities and /or hacks. As you rightly pointed out it is green because of the bacground image because it is set to be transculant:
Personally I do not like apps or hacks that alter the appearance of the OS. Not because I think it is perfect but because I am never certain they will not cause any trouble. Maybe I am getting old...
Still, if you insist: change the colour of os x menu bar
