Mac won't print; says print file not accepted

My macbook pro won't print to a new wireless printer that I have; no matter what kind of file I'm printing (doc, pdf, jpg, etc), it says that the print file is not accepted. I've even used a usb cable to connect it directly to the printer and it still won't print; My computer recognizes the wireless printer, but does not print to the printer; It does however print to another printer that I have wirelessly, just not the new one. Any ideas on what I can do to make this work? I've even called Epson (new printer) and they can't figure it out...

Does another computer print to the new printer? You can try resetting the printing system Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system but I would suspect that the new printer may be faulty.

Imac won't print to epson 1270

My imac won't print, stating that there is not enough RAM.
It is running 640mb, 100% of which is available to Photoshop.
This happens to both the 1270 and my R200. the OS is 10.3.9.
My ibook is more than happy to print to both printers despite only having 128mb of Ram!
Any ideas?
Thanks

You're Welcome Gari!
The driver on the disc may be outdated. Did you uninstall the older driver before trying to install the newer, downloaded one?
If nothing else resolves the problem, and you need help doing that, I can post the instructions.
"...stating that there is not enough RAM."
OS X uses Dynamic Memory Allocation, so I am puzzled that you are getting that message.
What is the exact error message?
How much of the RAM is original, and how much is added?
Is Classic running when you are trying to print?
Do the printers function from any applications, other than Photoshop?
You can also use Rember to test your RAM.
"My ibook is more than happy to print to both printers..."
Are you printing from Photoshop with the iBook?
Have you deleted the printers from the Printer List in Printer Setup Utility, and then re-added them?
Have you trashed the printer & Photoshop pref files from:
HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences: HERE?
Sorry for all of the questions. I'm just trying to explore all of the possibilities, to get a better understanding of the situation.

Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac. recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
1. no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing). no data seems to even reach the printer/print server. no error. the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
2. prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions. Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out. some are secure, some are not). and these are from multiple sources.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
system:
Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on LAN

I just found this solution on another board, I tried it (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me....
Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
:: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
:: Tags: Computers
If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library” folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

InDesign 3.0.1 "CS" won't print to Epson 2200 under Mac OS X 10.5.7

Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.7 my old inDesign, version 3.0.1 in the original CS release, refuses to print. In the Print dialog box, Print Settings area, the Media Type and Ink options are grayed out. A message in the same Print Settings area tells me the ink cartridge combination has been changed and I should delete the printer from the Printer List in the (now defunct) Printer Setup Utility and add the printer again. Have deleted and re-added through the current Print & Fax panel, to no avail. This problem happens only with inDesign. Help!!

Problem solved! I should have checked this first .. downloaded a newer driver from Epson.

Mac Book Pro Won't Print to Epson CX8400

We have a new Mac Book Pro, 17 inch, 2.66 GHz, 4GB, Mac OS 10.5.6. We set up my son's Epson CX8400 All-In-One printer. All the drivers loaded without issue. When we try to print, the printer feeds paper until there are no more sheets in the feeder and nothing is printed.

Have you tried updating the drivers from Epson's website?

Intel based Mac Mini OS 10.7.4 won't print with Epson Z705

I recently got a new (used) mini and now can't seem to print. The printer shows up when the printer window opens, but the printer just doesn't respond. I checked the wiring. It is connected by USB. I also looked for a new printer driver for this model, but can't find one that works with this OS. Is there any way around this?

Hi Henry, could that be a Lexmark Z705?
If so I think I'd try this 10.6 download & another Z series driver like Z735 or such...

PDF won't print to Epson 545

PDFs (Adobe Reader 10.1.4) will not print to my Epson 545 from my Mac (OS 10.6.8). Other apps print fine, only Adobe won't, and it provides a printer error "err number 13", which seems to mean there is no paper (there is paper tho' - lots). I've followed instructions from other threads for other Epson models but to no avail. Any one got a solution? Thanks.

Macbook won't print to epson DX4850

I my new macbook 2 weeks ago and am trying to hook up my Epson all-in-one 4850 printer.
Basically I can't seem to install a driver. I've lost the original cd...so tried to download from the epson website for my model and for my macs operating system. The file it downloads is .sit and when it expands through stuffit, it says its a microsoft word document , when its supposed to be an installer driver. When you click to open it, it just opens up my word application, but no document actually opens. I've tried opening it with installer but it ain't having it.
I called epson. The guy on the phone was using the same mac as me and when he downloaded the driver it worked fine. He said it was some setting on my mac that needs to be changed.
So I called apple, and they were hopeless- they said epson must not have the right driver and told me to call epson.
Any idea whats going on?!?!?
When I connect the printer the print center realises theres an epson DX4850 connected but then it asks me to choose a driver from its list, and there isn't one for my model.
Any one help?
cheers

I tried to figure out how to get drivers from Apple but their documentation is not very clear -- especially for someone new to Mac after decades of PC use. Finally I scratched that and called Epson. An hour and a half on the phone with Epson and finally it works again. Had to remove all the Epson files and then force the computer to find the drivers Apple had. I wish that the Apple articles would have been as clear on how to do this!
Thanks for the responses.

Photo Shop 2 won't print to Epson R280

Bought PS2 a few days ago. It will print to my HP laser, or to my HP 8250. It will not print to my Epson R280 which is my main color printer. I have downloaded the latest drivers, done everything I know to do???? And, btw, all of my other programs print great on the R280 so I KNOW nothing is wrong with the printer itself. What can I do next? Do you think maybe the PS2 download is not good? How can I get it downloaded again from the app store. And, I wrote to PS2 several days ago concerning this and asking for their help and I have never heard back from them. I am dead in the water

Sorry that didn't work.

Mac won't print

Hi, I have an pcs 1310. It works fine via USB with our PC so I know the USB and printer work, but through my MAC, it won't.
When I print the test page through the Utilities it prints, but anything else won't. When I hit print it shows that it sends 100%, but nothing comes out of the printer.

Hi SugaKoated,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when attempting to connect the printer to your Mac.
Are you attempting to connect the Mac and the P.C to the printer with a usb connection at the same time through a usb hub or are you connecting to the Mac direct to the printer?
So I can better assist you, what is the operating system that you are running on the Mac?

Mac won't print to my hp c4750 printer

I have my MacBook Pro cabled to my HP printer C4750. I gave up trying to configure it wireless. That isn't my issue today. My issue is that I have been able to print this way up until today. I currently have 16 items pending print. I have been able to print a few of my needed docs this morning, but the delay is long between each print. At this point I don't think it's printing any more at all. It has been at least 20 minutes since anything printed out.
I am wondering if I need to completely reinstall the printer software again??? Not even sure I did that to begin with. I am very new to a Mac so it's pretty confusing to me. I really don't want to do anything that is going to have me lose everything that I have in my cache ready to print. I spent a lot of time this morning finding these documents.
Thanks for any help

Hello @pgm80!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I should be able to provide some assistance that may get things back up and running. Not too sure if I can help save the print jobs stuck in the cache but I definitely will try!
The first thing I suggest is to power cycle the printer. Once the printer is back on I recommend you run a Repair Disk Permissions on the Mac. Repair Disk Permissions should be run once a month or so on the Mac. It locates errors and issues in the Mac and repairs them. It improves computer performance and may get those print jobs started!
For instructions on how to perform a Repair Disk Permissions click: Performing a Repair Disk Permissions
Once the repair is finished try resuming the print jobs again to see if it prints.
Please post back and let me know how it goes!
