Mountain Lion Printing - Error While Printing

Recently my Xserve running mountion lion OSX 10.8.3 gave me an errror while trying to print. Have provided a photo to help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • "Printing: Error while printing" when I tries to Save - How?

    Since recently, whenever I tried to save a Pages document, Pages freezes for a few minutes, then show me a system message that says "Printing: Error while printing". I did not ask Pages to print anything! Please advice. Thank you very much.

    You have not provided exact system info, no details about your documents, your save locations nor even told us what version of PS, so nobody can even begin to guess.

  • PDF export from Pages fails "Print - error while printing"

    Every month I have been generating PDF versions of my invoices by using the 'export' function of Pages. This has always worked fine without any problems.
    Today (end of Feb 08), the pdf export function always fails with 'Print - error while printing". A pdf file is saved to disc but it is corrupted and unreadable. I can still export as rtfd.
    I don't see anything about this in the logs, but I do notice that there was a Pages software update to 3.0.2 earlier this month.
    Anybody know how to fix this?

    Hello
    Before re-installing, it may be useful to
    a - repair permissions with Disk Utility
    b - trash the preferences file: <bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plis t
    if it's not sufficient, try to print from an other user account.
    If it works this way, you will know that the application's files are not the wrongdoers as every account calls the same application file.

  • Can't Print "Error while printing."

    Suddenly I can't print.
    When I try, I get the warning: "Error while printing."
    I also get this same warning if I try to create a PDF, or Preview.
    The printer (HP 6890xi) has been working fine in all applications and is able to print a test page from the HP printer utility.
    Drivers are fine (I think), but I replaced them anyway.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    John

    I had four documents open in OmniOutliner Pro, and did a CMD-P on each of them in turn. The first two printed, and the second two did not, without an error message. Since then, I get an "Error while printing" message in OmniOutliner Pro, whether I attempt to print to the printer or save to a PDF; Adobe Reader will not print, and does not display an error message, and Firefox fails to print with an "Unknown error occurred while printing" message. I have run repair disk permissions on my startup volume, followed the Printer Troubleshooting guide on the Apple Support page, including updating printer drivers, I have verified that the CUPS software sees the printer, the printer can print a test page, and have used Printer Utility to Reset the printing. Nothing has changed.
    Now what?

  • Safari won't print: "Error while printing" message

    Recently updated to Safari 6.2, on on 2012 Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.5. Tried to print a page from Amazon, and received "Error while printing" message. I then have to force quit Safari. I am able to print from Indesign, OpenOffice, and the same Amazon page from Chrome with no problem, so the problem seems to lie with Safari.
    I ran Disk Warrior, and rebuilt permissions, but the problem persists.
    I am reluctant to call Apple and be told that I have to reinstall system software, this seems related to my recent software update of Safari.
    Could use some suggestions here if anyone knows what the problem might be.

    It might be the Safari cache or cookies in Safari in you want to try ..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    No open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Error while printing (while saving?)

    Whenever I try to save my book I always get the error:
    Print
    Error while printing.
    However, I'm not trying to print, I'm trying to SAVE.  From what I can tell the file is saving just fine, however I hope that there is nothing actually wrong with the file for when I go to hit "publish"
    Anybody else run into this and solve it?  Should I worry?

    Maybe there is an extension or OS widget that's acting up...
    'save' is for an .iba file - 'publish' is for an .ibooks file. I don't think you'll have issues, but you'll know when you try

  • "error while printing" when saving

    A really odd thing started happening today: when I hit Apple + S to save a document, it first pops up the save progress box, but after a few seconds a 2nd box appears with a mesage saying "Print. error while printing."
    I'm just trying to save, not to print. Any ideas what's going on?

    on the wife's g4 powerbook, added a network-shared printer, attempts to print to it result in:

  • Notes App: "Error While Printing"

    I have a printer connected to my 2008 Mac Pro via USB; the computer is connected via Ethernet cord to my router.  And I have it set up so my laptop can print via wireless.
    Recently I have started to get the non-descript error message "Error while printing" when trying to print out of the Notes application.  I have to open a blank Text
    What gives, Notes?

    I am having the same issue. It seems to only affect the notes application and resetting the printer system does not work.
    Additionally, the link that Carolyn Samit put up only describes resetting the printer system for Lion and earlier (it's different in Mavricks) but like I said it didn't solve my issues. Neither has repairing disk permissions.
    Any other suggesstions?

  • Preview : error while printing several pages per sheet

    I have a pdf file from which I would like to get a pdf with several pages per sheet. I cannot do that using acrobat through printing into a pdf file because it tells me to save it first ! So, as I did before upgrading my OS from SL to Lion, I tried to do it with Preview. The problem is that I get the following message "Error while printing" and no more information.
    - I tried with an other pdf file and I got the same problem.
    - Printing one page per sheet is OK, either into a pdf file or to an actual printer.
    - Printing several pages per sheet from Acrobat to a printer is working fine.
    - I asked to a colleague who is still using SL to do the same procedure with my file and it worked fine.
    My conclusion is that there is something fishy with Preview under Lion.
    Does anyone get into the same trouble than me ? Is there a solution even an alternative one ?

    In the printing configuration window, I selected Layout and then 2 pages per sheet, save in Pdf, select a directory and name then save. At the end of the process, I got the printing error message. Looking at the /var/log/system.log, I got an error message concerning PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog() returning 1282.
    I am using past because I do not have the problem anymore. My MBP is a bit funny since the Lion upgrade. It looks like windows : from time to time, I get the black screen telling me that I should press the switch on button (like the famous blue screen).
    I am suspecting that XQuartz (last update) is messing-up somehow my laptop (system crashes happened when it was launched or even when it was starting).
    Thanks anyway.

  • Save to PDF in TextEdit - Error While Printing

    When I try to save a text file to PDF I receive the error message - "Error while printing".  This only seems to be happening to text files I open or create in TextEdit.  It works fine if I log in as a different user.  I've run repair permissions and also deleted a couple of com.apple.print plist files in my user library, but the error remains.
    Is there anything else I should try short of reinstalling TextEdit?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
    Rick

    On OS X 10.8.2, with TextEdit, I can open or create text documents and export to PDF without any issue.
    Here are the two preference tabs and settings that work for me. You can single click on the images for a larger version.
    New Document
    Open and Save
    PDF documents on OS X are created with binary content, which is the junk you observe.

  • Error while printing message

    Hi
    I'm hoping someone can help me I have a Macbook and have been using a HP Deskjet D5560 printer with it since i bought it and now it will not let me print each time i go to print it says error while printing. I have gone into some settings and had a little look but can't seem to fix the problem. Has anyone got any ideas? I am very basic with computers with things like this so please keep it simple if possible!
    Thanks
    Anna

    You may have a file permissions error or some other corruption.
    Try these one at a time (restart and try adding after each) -
    Reset Printing System - a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility.
    Download the 10.4.10 COMBO updater and re-update with that.
    Try the free trial of Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.

  • "Error while printing" when sharing printer under 10.6

    This just started yesterday. When attempting to print from either of two other computers (both 10.4.11) to a printer (HP LJ 1160) connected via USB to a MacBook Pro (10.6.2), the print fails with the cryptic error message: "Error while printing."
    I have searched these help forums and have tried repairing permissions on all computers. I have also verified that the /tmp symbolic link is in place on all computers.
    I have also tried resetting the print systems on all computers. I am able to add the shared printer on the client computers, but when attempting to print to the selected shared printer I still get the error.
    The Console on the client computer generates the following items in the log:
    2010-01-18 08:59:49.452 TextEdit[423] PMSessionValidatePrintSettings failed (error code = -50)
