My Brother printer no longer prints after downloading 10.8

Loads the print App but nothing happens

I did notice Apple appears to have released an update specifically for Brothers Printers following the release for 10.8...
I don't know if this will help with your problem, but in the event you haven't installed it yet, try choosing software update from the Apple menu to see if it comes up...
I have a Brothers printer myself but have not tried to use it since updating...

Network printer no longer printing double sided

I've recently set up my airport extreme (AE) base station in bridge mode with my Verizon fios wireless router. I also have an airport express connected to a Brother laser printer via USB. The AE is getting ip addresses from the Verizon router, and I have not yet turned off any wireless signals, so both routers are sending out a signal. In this configuration, I can still send print jobs to my laser printer fine, but the printer no longer prints double sided even when the print settings are set to do so. I've also noticed that I can no longer see the printer status when I open up the specific printer app. for that printer. All of this was possible over my wireless network when I was running a simple cable modem to the AE and the AE was the only router in the house. Could this problem be caused by having two wireless antennas running at the same time or does this sound like another problem?

To try... set a different printer as the default, and have the network printer as non-default selection

Changed cartridge and printer no longer prints from pc

Changed cartridge and printer no longer prints from pc, as if it is no longer connected

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen? If you are using Windows running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

3-d is no longer enabled after downloading Yosemeti update. Can I re-enable?

3-d is no longer enabled after downloading Yosemeti update. Can I re-enable? I was able to 3-d layers prior to this new update. I have changed any drivers an know the mac is capable. Dunno how under systems it is disabled.

Any computer tech would know that it is likely not firefox causing this issue, but an incompatibility with a new ebay sign-in page and the firefox browser. The browser only does what the code on the page tells it to. I have seen the issue with other sites that work with IE or with Safari, but not firefox and some that work with firefox and IE but not Safari, it is the web developer's fault for the page that isn't working, not your browser.
---It is possible that it is a firefox issue, but it is most likely an issue with the webpage itself. I do not have a problem signing into ebay at all with firefox.

Printing No Longer Working After Recent Upgrade

My printing suddenly stopped working after the latest upgrade (which upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15.2 to 2.6.15.4).
I discovered that arch is no longer auto-loading the parport_pc module. This is strange. If I run "hwdetect --show-modules", parport_pc is shown.
I do have MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" in my rc.conf file.
The quick fix is to add "parport_pc" to the list of MODULES in rc.conf.
Are others having this problem?
Rob

I just read your post. I am sorry I could not join irc. I was actually at work. It is very hard for me to use irc at work. Firewalls make life difficult!
In any event, I think I solved the problem.
Please see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=18747
Here is the complete post:
In my /etc/modprobe.conf file, there was the folloiwng line:
# Load lp support with parport_pc
install parport_pc modprobe -i parport_pc ; modprobe lp ; true
I believe that this line was in the original /etc/modprobe.conf file that came with arch 0.7. I don't remember ever adding it.
I commented out this line and I removed "parport_pc" from the list of MODULES to be loaded in /etc/rc.conf.
I rebooted and it worked. The modules lp, parport and parport_pc were all autoloaded at boot-up.
I should also note that right after the arch upgrade, I was experiencing CUPS daemon failure once and awhile at boot up. Somtimes cupsd loaded and sometimes it failed at boot up. Now it seems that cupsd loads reliably at every bootup. Problem solved!
The following are the remaining lines in my /etc/modprobe.conf:
# Load ppp-generic with modem drivers
install Intel536 modprobe -i Intel536 ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install Intel537 modprobe -i Intel537 ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install ltmodem modprobe -i ltmodem ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install ltserial modprobe -i ltserial ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install slamr modprobe -i slamr ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install slusb modprobe -i slusb ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
# OSS Compatibility
#install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; true
#install snd-seq modprobe -i snd-seq ; modprobe snd-seq-oss ; true
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

options isapnp=0 dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
The modem driver lines came with the original /etc/modprobe.conf file in arch 0.7.
Should I also comment them all out?
Perhaps I should only have the lines for my old ISA sound card in the /etc/modprobe.conf file. Please let me know.
Has there been a change in the kernel or udev which makes it neccesary to make all these changes in the /etc/modprobe.conf file?

LaserJet printer no longer works after installing Snow Leopard

Since installing Snow Leopard, my LaserJet printer no longer works. Spent 5 hours on the phone to Apple Support without any satisfaction. Any suggestions? I'm desperate.......

Go to the HP web site and download the latest drivers for your OfficeJet.

Printer no longer works after upgrading to Maverick

I have an Epson TX810FW, multifunction printer/scanner. It wwas working fine until I updated to Mavericks. I now get a message that the scanner function is not supported and I cannot get the printer to work. I need both working, and I have loaded all the latest updates from Epson up to 2.15.1.
Can someone provide an answer that will restore the mrinter to fully operational? Otherwise, how can I reomve Mavericks, as the loss of functionality is more of a downside than any enhancements that Mavericks might claim.

Hi,
I've been experiencing a similar issue with my old, yet working until Mavericks update, OKIPage 14ex. No problem at all with both Lion and Mountain Lion but after Mavericks update the printer cannot print any longer. The printer is connected via a regular USB port, the system recognizes it, I can send a print to its queue but as soon as the print is enqueued the printer goes into hold status and nothing can be done to resume the print.
Since the printer model is quiet old, no driver is avaliable from OKI support, however I'm wondering what Apple did with this update thus being able to produce such a mess.
Of course I tested the printer conncted to another PC and it perfectly works!
I would really appreciate some advice in order to restore the previous situation.
Many thanks.

Printer no longer detected after new router installed. Tried everything. Please help!!

I have a Photosmart 2575 printer which has worked well for a number of years. It has a wired connection to my router.
Recently I installed a new router (Sky fibre hub) and now the HP software (and any other printer/scanning software) is unable to detect the printer on my network. This is odd, because both my desktop (wired network connection) and my laptop (wireless network connection) can see the printer and I can install it using the standard windows 7 functionality. I can also browse the embedded web server, so I know for sure that my printer is on my network and accessible.
But despite numerous attempts to make the HP Solution Center software to work I am unable to print/scan etc from that software. I have tried many different "fixes" including full Level 4 uninstalls before reinstalling the software, resetting the netowrk settings on the printer, deleting the printer from everything on the network etc etc but nothing has worked.
I have tried using the HP Print and Scan Doctor software but that doesn't help.
I am totally mystified by this apparent lack of connectivity.
Can anybody help, PLEASE PLEASE!!

Success at last, but only after many hours of trawling through HP and Microsoft forums, and numerous attempts to make the connection!
But here's a summary of what I did for anybody else with this issue:-
1. I meticulously removed every trace of anything to do with HP from my PC and disconnected the printer from the network router.
This requires numerous "level 4" uninstalls to clear any previous falied installs and deleting everything in the temp file afterwards:-
1. Press the Windows key, and the letter R
2. Type %temp%
3. Press Enter, or click OK
4. Open the 7z folder
5. Open the util folder
6. Open the ccc folder
7. Double click the Uninstall_L4
2. Using Control Panel_Programs and Features, uninstalling anything left that might be HP related
3. Carrying out a disk clean up using Start_Accessories_System Tools_Disk Cleanup and repeating this for system files
4. Follwing the procedure found from the following link to check that the print spooling is working, and that any dependencies are "started":-
Link to post
In that thread there is a further procedure to follow which requires opening a command prompt in administrator mode and carefully inputting the command line
sc config spooler depend= RPCSS
(note the space after the = but not before)
5. Running msconfig.exe and on the general tab, clicking "selective startup", unchecking "load startup items", then on the services tab, hiding all microsoft services, and deselecting all items [remember afterwards to re-run and go back to a normal startup!]
6. Restart PC
7. Disable Firewall [remember to enable afterwards]
8. Launch Internet Explorer (I had previously been using Chrome)
9. Download AIO software from HP website
10. Run and connect printer when prompted (making a note of the printer's IP address)
11. The networked printer wasn't found immediately, so click on advanced and then input the printer's IP address
12. Success - the printer was finally detected and installed correctly.

Ethernet printer no longer available after upgrading Airport

I had an older Airport wired into a router. An older ethernet printer was also wired into the router. I was able to print from various computers on the wireless network with no problem.
Today I upgraded my dying Airport with a new Airport Express. I am connected to the router and the internet with it from the various computers, but I can no longer print. Nothing else changed. My Mac tells me "printer not responding".
I checked to make sure Appletalk was on. The printer has a fixed IP address, 192.168.0.5, its an older printer and that's the only way I can network it. That never stopped me from printing before. I haven't changed any other settings and don't understand why the Airport would keep me from accessing a printer on the network.
Is it some kind of security setting?
Help!

Ensure that the Airport Express is configured to not distribute IP addresses.

Printer no longer working after wireless network reset

OfficeJet Pro 8500A, MacBook Pro, running Mavericks.
Since 3 days ago, when we re-added a password and locked our wireless router (ATT modem, UVerse), our printer is "off-line" Print jobs queue up, but do not print. When I go in and check it says "printer off-line." Or in the print queue, it is something like "looking for printer."
It worked briefly when we found a cord and plugged it in to the laptop, but will not work wirelessly, which it was doing before. No changes except to re-do password for the network.
I have the manual and have turned everything off, then back on in the order recommened (router, then printer, then laptop). Still off-line. Can someone please help? Thank you!

Hello @LindaGrace,
Welcome tot he HP Support Forums!
I understand that since re-adding a password to your wireless router your HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer is not communicating wirelessly with your Mac OS X 10.9 computer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this wireless communication issue.
Now, making a change to your network, such as a adding a password or altering a password, results in having to reconfigure your printer on the wireless network. At this point your printer is being 'blocked' access to your wireless network due to the change that you made. To correct this issue you simply rerun the wireless setup for your printer to 'tell' the printer the network name and password. Once the wireless setup is run successfully everything will continue working for you as per normal.
To run the Wireless Setup Wizard on your printer please follow the steps below.
On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow () to display the second navigation screen.
Touch Network () to open the Network Menu screen.
Touch Wireless.
Touch Wireless Setup Wizard, and then touch Continue.
Wait while the printer searches for routers that are within range. The Select Network (SSID) menu displays.
Scroll down the list of network names until you find the name of your network.
Touch the name of your network.
If prompted, enter the WEP or WPA key. This is the password for your wireless. The password is case sensitive.
Wait for the printer to connect to the network
- Source
Once your printer is connected to your network again, please try to print. If printing still fails you may need to re-add the printer to your Mac because of the printers new network connection. Please follow the steps below to add the printer back to the Mac.
1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
2. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list.
3. If your printer is already listed, remove and re-add the printer to confirm communication with the Mac. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer
4. Click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer
5. Click Add to add the printer to the list.
Now that the printer is successfully configured on your network and added to the Mac please try wirelessly printing again.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

HP PhotoSmart C309g Printer no longer prints Black Text, Graphics, etc

Hi:
We have an HP laptop.
We have an HP PhotoSmart All-In-One C309g Wireless printer/scanner/copier.
It has been working fine for a couple of years, until 2 days ago.
It will no longer print anything in black (colors and Photo Black work fine).
We have taken it apart...removed all ink cartridges, removed the cartridge caddy,
cleaned all electrodes, replaced the caddy, installed 5 (all) new cartridges,, etc.
We went through the process of removing the cartridges, caddy, shutting down,
removing the AC cord, waiting for several minutes, then doing the reverse process.
When we turn the printer on, it does its auto-check/install, and after about 4-5 minutes
tells us that the installation failed, the to press the OK button.
We went thorugh this process several times, and the installation failed every time.
In the past, installing printer cartridges, cleaning, calibrating...executed quickly.
The printer will not print anything that is Black, whether it me a print from Word, Notepad,
doing a direct copy from the glass, etc....both, with the laptop On or Off, but it will not
print anything in standard Black.
The colors and Photo Black print fine, but the regular Black does not.
The output from the other 4 cartridges are sharp, crisp, etc.
Anything... text, graphics, etc., in standard Black does not print.
Any ideas.
Thank you

Epson SP2200 printer no longer printing with Snow Leopard 10.6.1

Quite a few users of Epson's SP2200 printer found they may have an expensive brick on their hands after upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.1. I was among those who thought my trusty printer was now useless, along with over $200.00 worth of ink supplies. I tried everything, nothing produced any results, Then I had an epiphany. My SP2200 was connected to my iMac via a Firewire connection. Firewire has been slowly phased out in favour of USB2, could that be the problem?. After downloading the SP2200 print driver from Epson's supported printers, I connected a USB cable between my iMac and Epson printer, and selected "System preferences" > Printers & fax> unlocked the app >selected the + sign to add a printer and "viola" there displayed in the printers window was the "Epson" Stylus Photo 2200 printer icon. I eagerly added it to my printer list. This was too easy; still not convinced I had succeeded, I tried printing a photo from my iPhoto library. After a few moments, I heard the sweet sound of my printer come to life, and shortly after that, a printed picture emerged.

Hi TDCP - welcome to the forums.
Printer drivers have taken a hit with SL.
Unless you know for certain that your current drivers are fully compatible with SL, you may need to look for updates in that regard. Same goes for your Adobe products.
Anything in CUPS that helps?

HP Photosmart 5520 printer no longer prints wireless

Hello.
I recently got an xfinity cable modem with wireless. (Xfinity/comcast promoted it should be faster...I am seriously doubthing that!)
Before this cable modem, I was printing okay with a Netgear router. Never an issue with it. Now with the comcast modem with the Netgear router, I can no longer print wirelessly from my computer or anywhere remotely (ipad, laptop, etc).
I do suspect something with the comcast modem but comcast claims it is NOT them (Yeah, right...works okay flawlessly before and now nothing). Thus if someone can help me pinpoint where the problem lies, I would be greatly appreciated. And of course, one cannot turn off the wireless network in the xfinity modem either!!
Have tried the HP diagnosics but says it cannot establish a 2 way communication. Everything on the printer display looks correct from a wireless standpoint (i.e. sees the router name, etc).
I am using Windows Vista
Thanks!
Thomas

What Comcast forced on you is a Gateway device, modem+router. Call comcast and have them put that Gateway in Full Bridge mode and now connect your router back up and use that. What is the exact Comcast model number they gave you?

HP printer no longer prints Pages docs

My HP deskjet 5650 printer suddenly stopped printing Pages documents this afternoon after completing only 8 pages of a 10 page run. The printer does, however, print from other programs such as Preview, my Mac mail program, Appleworks, etc. So this problem seems specifically related to Pages. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled HP driver V 3.3.3 (Universal Binary), as the Software Update recommends. This still does not solve the problem. I've rebooted and turned the printer on and off, and even installed HP driver version 2.7.1 which is specifically for the Max OS X, but nothing seems to work. Any solutions?

It turns out that my HP printer DOES reproduce Pages '08 documents imported from Appleworks, but for some reason, it will not print 2 pages of the 10 page document I was trying to print. I looked at the embedded marks and other aspects of the document, but cannot find anything that makes them different and unprintable in Pages.
