MacBook Pro won't wake up my lexmark printer...

After my Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 printer goes into energy saver mode or to "sleep" I can not wake it up by printing from my MacBook Pro.
I can wake it up if I turn on my netbook and try to print and never had problems with the PC that was connected previously.
The printer is connected wireless by a netgear router.
All drivers and firmware are up to date.
Usually turning it off by unplugging the printer and then back on fixes it.
This doesn't happen ALL the time but 90% of the time.  The only time it wouldn't happen was one of the days I actually had a lexmark consultant on the phone that kind of knew what they were talking about.  Any time I've called when it wasn't working the person I'm talking to has no clue.
Any fixes out there?!?!?!?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Have read all through this thread trying to resolve my Rip Van Winkle problem with my MacBook Pro late 2011 and cannot get to the first stage of having the machine turn on to try the other suggestions.
Machine was on, left alone for a short while, went to sleep and have been unable to awake it, period.  How are you folks getting your machines on to try the other things? Any suggestions as to actually get the machine on?? Am using older G4 machine currently.
Have made an appt with "Genius Bar" for Thurs hoping for a fix.

  • OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep.

    Since upgrade to OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep. Tablet lights are on in morning and fans running like crazy, but it requires hard quit and start. Tried with no apps running, no change. It was fine before this last update. Wasn't the recent firmware update supposed to fix this issue? It seems to have started one for me.

    I have the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro OS 10.8.4. What happens is: I work on the train, press cmd/alt + eject to put to sleep..pop it in my bag...get home or office... open the lid...and nothing! Battery indicator shows I have plenty of juice but it will not wake up no matter what key I press.
    The only difference between use on the train and home/office is the plugging in of peripherals and mains power. It happens sparadicially, perhaps once or twice a week and I always send a 'panic report', so somewhere there will be approx 20 reports of this fault at Apple.

  • Macbook Pro Won't Wake From Deep Sleep

    I'm having issues from my Macbook Pro waking from a deep sleep after my battery dies. If the battery dies and it goes into sleep, my Macbook Pro won't wake even if it's connected to power. I can remove the battery, hold down the power button, press keys and nothing happens.
    I know the obvious thing is to not let the battery die, but I don't always work near outlets.
    I've tried resetting the nvram and smc and nothing has worked. I'm probably going to bring it into Apple soon, but I really can't be without my computer for class.

    Yes, I've tried that. It doesn't work. I've left the battery in, I've taken it out and left it out for a bit and nothing seems to work. It just turns back on whenever it feels like it.
    I just had a sort of similar issue with a restart (no dead battery this time though). After my computer shutdown from a restart, it didn't want to boot back up. After holding down the power button and doing a few other things, I gave up. Then I closed the lid and set it down. It then decided to turn itself on.
    I think I'm going to bring it in. I do massive amounts of design and web work on this thing and I can't have it messing up.

  • Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep is her anyway I can fix this?

    Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro (late 2009) won't wake from sleep is her anyway I can fix this?

    > during the entirety of this process the cursor was a "busy" pinwheel/beach ball/whathaveyou for a solid 30 minutes before I turned the computer off with the power button.
    All that cursor means is that it is busy trying to do something.  You can see if force quitting solves the problem with a simple force quit using command-option-escape.  If you are having issues with iCal quitting, sometimes it doesn't always know whether or not it is properly communicating with a particular calendar.  This can be a Mobileme issue, or even a phone synchronization issue, or a network issue reaching a shared calendar.  Shutting down a machine directly from a cursor is the last step one should try, only after all others have failed.  If you have done this in the past, lurking corruption can get worse each time with the directory, and upgrading the system will only enhance any corruption already present.  When you restart your Mac, does everything appear to be normal?

  • Macbook pro won't wake up and runs extremely hot while in sleep mode

    I have a mid 2011 baseline 15in Macbook Pro that has been acting up since upgrading to Mountain Lion.  When I put it into sleep mode the machine runs extremely hot and won't wake up without a hard shutdown.  This happens about 25% of the time.  Any ideas?

    Sorry I meant OS Maverick, not Mountain Lion. Everything worked fine on Mountain Lion.

  • Macbook pro won't wake up screen

    I have a most annoying problem. I have a Macbook Pro (12 mths old) running Mavericks. When not traveling I connect it to a 27" Apple screen. Frequently when I leave it for any length of time it won't wake the screen up. Even if I open the lid on the laptop it still doesn't help although the laptop is awake. I have tried resetting the pram and doing a disk integrity check. If I unplug the screen and replug it then wakes up. It was also doing it before I upgraded to Mavericks. 

    thanks. obviously i'd like to avoid such a time-intensive move before looking at other options.
    To make things more intresting I've fund it ONLY does it when plugged into a charger.
    AND if I briefly unplug the charger after the screen comes up black it immediately wakes up and stays on.
    weird.
    I've reset the SMC. But still get the same issue (if plugged in).

  • MacBook pro won't wake from sleep must remove battery

    We have an early 2008 15" C2D MacBook pro. Frequently when we put it to sleep, it won't wake up. It doesn't respond to the power button. We have to pull the battery, wait a few minutes reinstall it and reboot.
    What should we check out? Or are we better off taking it to the Store and getting it fixed. It's under Applecare.

    When my late 2007 C2D MBP started doing that, it was after traveling with the computer. I finally reviewed the system log to find that, on attempting to wake, the computer was looking for the network at a hotel where we had stayed.
    I opened System Preferences > Network, selected "Airport" and clicked on "Advanced." On the first tab is a list of networks the computer has remembered. I found the hotel network name and deleted it, along with about a dozen other now-remote networks accumulated during travel. I also unchecked "Remember any network this computer has joined."
    Works fine now. All that show are the two local networks I use the most: one for home and another for a museum where I volunteer.
    Easy to try, although I agree with tjk to have the Apple Store document the issue in case it proves to be something more sinister.

  • Macbook pro won't wake up when booted into Windows 7

    Macbook Pro (Late 2010) with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 64bit. Bootcamp 3.3
    When booted into OS X, then close the lid, let the machine sleep and later, if I connect to power source and USB keyboard and mouse, and then tap keyboard, machine wakes up.
    If booted into Windows 7, if I follow same sequence, the machine won't wake up. The only way I can wake the machine up is by opening the lid.
    Not a big problem, but certainly an annoyance.
    Can anybody help?

    Did you use a geniune windows installation disc? I ask this because I worked on a computer today where someone had tried to use a Windows XP disc that came with a Dell computer. These do not work.
    If it was a genuine install disc, did you get all the way through with the installation, or did something go wrong during the install?

  • My MacBook Pro won't wake up, how do I wake it?

    My computer has been bouncing out of iPhoto- I've had to restart my computer a few times today.  In the past it would sometimes take a long time to wake up- I would press the brightness key or track pad and it would wake up.  Now it is on but I cannot get it to wake with a picture.  Anybody have a suggestion?

  • MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep after installing Snow Leopard

    If my MacBook Pro is running while closed with an external display and I unplug it from the display it goes to sleep - as indicated by the white light and the front pulsing. If I then open the MacBook the display remains blank and it is completely unresponsive to any keys or track pad input.
    The only thing it responds to at that point is holding the power button down until it powers down and then restarting - loosing all work in progress at that point.
    Before installing Snow Leopard the Mac would wake reliably when opened from this state.

    I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
    Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
    Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
    My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
    My vote is that it's a bug.

  • MacBook Pro Won't wake after going to sleep.

    I have been having this issue for quite sometime now. My 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2008) will go to sleep and then not respond when trying to wake. This only happens when my computer goes to sleep with the display open (usually when watching DVD's or writing papers). The indicator light stays bright and the only way to get it responding again is to shut the whole thing down by holding the power button I have searched the forms and can't find anything that has worked... I have cleared the PRAM and reset the SMC as it said to do on other posts on these forms, but nothing has worked. I have run all OS X updates and firmware updates. I'm running on 10.6.2.
    I have heard it could be the Bluetooth or an external drive attached... neither of them are on my mac.
    Should I take it into the apple store? Or has someone figured this out?
    Thanks!

    Sorry for such a long delayed response...
    I was able to get to an apple store this past weekend, and let me tell you... I'm about finished with there great "support".
    Right before I went to the store, I tried to eject a disk. Well the cloth in the SuperDrive (I assume to protect the drive from dust and such) Pulled up with my disk. So I get the Apple store, describe my problem and what happened with the cloth piece. The "Genius" writes up a form and tells me they have to run diagnostic and it will take a couple days... and I will get a call when its done (1-3 days).
    Well on day number 3 I called up the store and they told me it was ready to be picked up? I asked if anything had been fixed and they told me they could not reproduce my "sleep issue", so they couldn't fix that.. but told me the cloth piece in the SuperDrive had been fixed.
    I drive an hour (one way) to the Apple store to find that all they did was PULLED OUT the cloth... they did not replace it! So basically I have a hole for a Super Drive.
    I asked why I was not called to say that my computer was ready to be picked up... didn't get an answer on that one.
    I asked why my SuperDrive was said to be fixed, when nothing was done... they told me that it would have to be sent out to the factory store for that to be fixed (FIRST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT!) Oh, and that would take 5-7 business days. Well that's not going to happen right now considering I'm a college student that NEEDS a working computer!
    So I go home, angry... start just putting all my important documents back on the computer. And the screen starts blinking!!!! I guess now I have the same thing described in another post on these forms...
    Lets just say that I'm not very happy with Apple right now! If anybody else has success on either the sleep issue or the screen blinking issue, please let me know!
    Thank you!

  • Macbook Pro won't wake up from sleep mode

    When I put my macbook pro to sleep, it does not wake up. If I turn it off after every time I use it, it is fine. Is there a problem with the sleep function or with the battery? Also, I am concerned that my mac's speed is slowing down, is this related?

    I have the same issue with my Macbook Pro 2.4
    Have you by any chance installed a new RAM?. I've just added new 8 GB RAMs & I noticed the issue afterwards, but I'm still not sure if it's the cause.

  • Macbook Pro won't wake up

    Hi,
    Within the last couple of weeks I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro and it not waking up once it goes to sleep, specifically when I close the lid.
    Just a side note, I installed Cocktail to try and speed up my Mac and it ran maintenance scripts and repair disk permissions.
    This problem started after I downloaded and ran Cocktail. I have since deleted it.
    Do you think there is any connection? I have read that others have had this same problem, but I feel it's basic trouble shooting to look at what you have just recently installed before the problem started to diagnose the problem.
    Any help will be very appreciated,
    Brandon

    I had a similar problem and I had to change the logic board.
    Everytime I turned off or put it to sleep at night, the next morning it would not turn on or wake. No matter if the magsafe was plugged in(green or ambar light) or not. The battery was always full(I could see the eight green dots). When I pushed the power button I could see the white light in front of the MacBook blinking only once. A noise from the HD would start for a second and stop.
    What I figured out was that I had unplug the magsafe and keep pushing the power button rapidly and constantly until making the HD to work. Usually took like one or two minutes to make it work and once it started it would run normally. I could turn it off or put it to sleep and wait for few minutes and turn it on again or wake from sleep without a problem.
    _The problem was that I could not let my Macbook turned off or sleeping for a long time (overnight more than 6-7 hours)._
    It seems to me that some component of the logic board could not work if it was cold (ambient temperature). That's why I had to keep pushing the power button to make some "heat". Probably a half broken circuit line.
    I sent my MacBook Pro to service center three times until they finally decided to replace the logic board.
    Now it works perfectly !

  • Macbook Pro won't wake up from sleep

    I've had my 15" Macbook Pro for 3 years now, and only recently have I started having this problem. When I have my Mac on (plugged in or unplugged) and I walk away it will go to sleep and the only way I can get it to wake up (without plugging in external mouse and external keyboard) is if I restart. This is very problematic if I am working on something important.
