No Printer Set Up Utility

I just changed from an iMac with OS X 10.2 to an eMac with 10.4.1. I am having problems with my Epson CX6400. It will scan and copy but will not print. I have downloaded a new driver and the installation instructions say to open Printer Set Up Utility, but when I click on it, there is just a blink and it does not open. I have done all of the things that Epson said to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Consensus seems to be that failure to load a nib file indicates the associated application is corrupted. You can use Pacifist to reinstall Printer Setup Utility from your Tiger OS X Install disc. Before doing so, check for possible hard drive problems that would explain a corrupted application by using the OS X Install disc to boot the Mac and run Repair Disk as described in Using Disk Utility and fsck. If Repair Disk reports making any repairs, repeat it until it reports no problems found, since it's possible for one disk problem to mask another.

SAMSUNG CLX-216x Problem-Doesn't work. Won't show in printer set-up utility

I have just purchased - yesterday afternoon in fact - a new Multi-Function SAMSUNG Color Lazer MFP CLX-216x - 3 in one Printer, Scanner, Copier.
Although I was assured by the salesman that it would be compatible with a Mac, and it says as much on the box, I am experiencing problems which I have never experienced before when installing printers.
After setting up the printer and turning it on I installed the drivers on my Macintosh MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo processor Running System OX.4.11). The printer is connected to an Apple AIRPORT with a USB Cable.
However, my systems printer set up utility cannot seem to find the installed driver. Nor can it find the printer when connected directly to the MacBook
I have tried the following.
1. Uninstalling the software and re-installing it.
2. Downloading drivers from the SAMSUNG website and installing them + updates of the other software (after uninstalling the older versions)
3. Connected directly with a USB cable to the laptop
4. Searched the manual and SAMSUNG website but can not find any help.
Would you have any suggestions.
Should I take the printer back as I've only just bough it.
Thanks in advance,
William Bell

Hello William,
When you have the printer connected directly to the MBP via USB, and you select to Add the printer, do you see the printer in the Default browser view? If you do not, then you may have a faulty USB cable or a faulty machine.
To check the hardware, you can open System Profiler (Applications > Utilities) and look under the Hardware > USB view. The printer should be shown on one of the USB buses. If you do not see it, then I would try another USB cable first off. It could prove to be a quick fix, and if this is not the problem then it never hurts to have a spare USB cable.

PaHu

Error message using print set-up utility" server-error-service-unavailable"

Hi aychekay
Try following:
- Add a TimeStamp Datatype Column to the table on the SQL Server
- Rebind the tables into your database
- Try your code again
You never should run an Access Application against an SQL Server in readwrite mode without having TimeStamp datatype columns in your tables. Already for performance reasons this is a must and also, if you have datetime datatype fields on
the SQL Server that are not exclusively maintained by Access, as the SQL Server may add miliseconds when writing the data. Same for Single precision datatypes, that may be rounded until you get the result back from the server. If you have a Timestamp datatype
column in your table then Access is sure the record wasn't changed in the meantime and will not recheck the received record again against the database for changes in one of it's fields.

This problem didn't go away yet. I'm having it too in Access 2007 (SP2 not installed yet) with a SQL Server 2008 Express backend. I'm sure my code is not reference any form controls or other object references. Access just complains if you try to run an Execute
with "DELETE" on a table that has an identity column. I've resorted to deleting using a DAO recordset and loop instead for now.
I actually started out using MySQL with MySQL's ODBC drivers and my statement worked fine. Only when I migrated to SQL Server did I start to have this problem.

Epson USB or USB not appearing as an option in Printer Set Up Utility

I am trying to get my Epson Stylus RX510 (RX500 outside Australia) multi function printer to work with my MacBook Pro. I have the latest, correct Intel drivers installed (3.0aEs and scanner software CSPC3_PCF_OSX_27w41). When I connect via USB and select "Add" in Printer Setup Utility, the printer shows up but the drivers do not appear.
The "Auto" option is greyed out.
There is no option for USB or Epson USB available. I think this is the key but...
Having spent days trying to resolve this, speaking to Epson and Apple techs, I still have no luck. This is what I have done so far:
- Unplugged the printer from the MacBook
- Reset Print Setup Utility
- repaired permissions
- in Command "I" I have selected "Open using Rosetta"
- uninstalled all the old Epson drivers
- reinstalled the new drivers
- run Disk Utilty (no problems found)
- run printer setup repair
- reinstalled Mac OS X without the old epson drivers and gimp drivers
- reinstalled the new drivers again - no luck.
- went to the Epson USA site and downloaded the drivers for the RX500 instead of the RX510 - still no luck.
- cried!!!! (kidding - but almost made everyone around me cry).
Incidentally, printer is working perfectly when connected to my G4 with the old drivers, so it isn't a printer problem or dodgy USB cable.
Epson tech says there is nothing wrong with the drivers and I have done everthing correctly.
Apple tech says I have done everything they would tell me to do and to post it in discussions. Here's hoping one of you gurus can help me please.

Thanks - I did already try PSR but on your advice just had another go and below is the log, wherein I suspect the answer lay (for any of you mac guru's anyway). Do I need to find and install all the missing files to get my Epson printer working using the Epson drivers (ie. don't want to use CUPS)? If so can I load them from the Mac OS X install discs without having to reinstall Mac OS X all over again?

Can't connect my printer to AEBS using Leopard. Printer Set-up Utility?

Hi All..
Just a quick question. I'm trying to connect to my printer which i have just connected to my new Airport Extreme Base Station. I have 2 Macs in my House 1 running Tiger and 1 running Leopard. I can connect the Tiger to it using Printer Setup Utility as instructed in the manual. However, I can't find such a utility on my Leopard Mac. Can someone please help me. I'm quite new to Mac so please if you could bare that in mind.
Many thanks..
~RICKY

use mouse and select Apple icon top left file menu, then select system preferences. Open printer/fax and if that printer is not shown then use the add ie + button.

Can't access Print Set Utility

I was attempting to print a rather large (83mg) PDF file with Adobe Acrobat Professional, using my HP 6100 Photosmart All-In-One Printer, on my Mac PowerBook 1.5 PC, G4 and it simply set and spun for 30 minutes. The printer finally gave me an error that there was a problem communicating with the printer, turn power off and back on. I did this, opened the document and selected print and it just spins, won't open the printer. I tried selecting the Printer Set Up Utility and it refuses to open, computer locks up.
Any ideas where to start?

Printer Setup Utility should not be used on Leopard. It's way out of date and has been replaced by using AddPrinter ('+') in the Print & Fax Preferences.
Are you able to print the PDF from Preview? Is there anything in the Console logs?

How do I change the printer setting to print in Black only?

How can I change my printer setting to print in Black only

It depends on your printer as well; my Epson AIO only does color (even when it is black font only) - or grayscale )sort of a "draft" quality) as it uses some color even for black:

Incompitible Print Setting Error for HP LJ 8500n in Windows Vista

Hi, I have two laptops, one with Windows XP and another with Windows Vista Business. There is a HP LJ 8500n connected with router and accessed by both laptops. Somehow, when I print from Windows XP laptop and I change the print settings there is no error message. But, when I print from Vista Business Laptop, it prints without any error message for default setting, but when I try to change the print setting (to change the paper size or color) the error message comes with "Incompitible Print Settings. It says: "There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the conflicting settings is: Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed. Output Bin: Mailbox 5." Once I click "Ok" it will have same message with output bin changed to Mailbox 6, etc. After I go through approximately 8 to 10 output bins messages, it gives me the screen where I can change the print settings. After that, I can print with revised setting. But, it is very annoying to go through these messages every time I have change the print settings.
Please reply, Thank You,

@fshrago
For the laserjet 3390, you have the option of using the either the Universal Print Driver (network connection) or Windows Update Driver (USB connection) in windows 8.1. Neither of these drivers come with a fax or scan driver.
To use the fax and scan driver, you will need to use the Windwos Fax and Scan Software however you will need to be usb connected. I have given you links to documents that explain how to use both the Windwos Update driver and the Windows Fax and Scan Software.
Driver support included in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 or in Windows Update - usb connection only
Use the software in Windows 8 to scan - usb connection only
Please understand that the UPD is a print only driver. If you would like a fax/scan driver you will need to connect via USB and use the Windows Fax and Scan driver along with the Windows Update/In-OS driver.
Good Luck.

Preview Default Print Setting "Fit to Page" Problem

Preview.app in Snow Leopard has removed the option to print without scaling, and recreating this behaviour with the remaining options is quite complex and requires 4 extra steps.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document in Preview.app, such as a PDF, of a known paper size.
2. Select 'File' > 'Print…'
3. Change the paper size to one where the default scale value with the default 'Scale to Fit:' 'Print Entire Image' is not 100%. This step is often unnecessary, as many documents will require reduction to include margins, even if the paper sizes match.
4. Select 'Scale:'
5. Select the scale % value.
6. Delete the scale value.
7. Input '100' in the scale value box using the keyboard.
8. Press tab to avoid radar #7256827.
9. Click 'Print'
Expected Results:
Click on a single option to print at 100%, if by chance that wasn't the default option. This would have been one step.
Actual Results:
Does what it says. Steps 4 through 8 are necessary to print at 100% in most cases.
Regression:
This behaviour was as expected in OS X 10.5.x and previous versions, or we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Notes:
Printing at 100% is the only scaling that is common enough to warrant a button to make it an easy one to get to. Preview.app itself even has an 'Actual Size' toolbar button, but has removed this function for printing.
Graphic designers (and other professionals) or specific applications (such as printing on pre-cut or pre-printed paper, labels, or DVDs) can commonly require printing at 100%, and using PDF to distribute documents makes Preview.app the most logical choice for many printing jobs.
Having something other than 100% as a default can cause expensive media to be ruined by a mis-scaled printout, unless these 4 (+1) steps are followed every time.
Most other apps, including Safari, Mail.app and TextEdit default to no scaling, making Preview.app an exception.
I am an architect and this is really annoying!
Does anyone know a workaround?

Sorry no workaround as yet...
I too am now sick of the amount of expensive paper I have wasted due to the Preview app default print setting of 'Scale to fit'.
- No option to print at 100%, you have to manually input this information.
- No way to change this default in preferences, you can change the opening viewing size of a doc to 100% though.
- Doesn't remember the previous settings if you decide to reopen the doc and print another copy.
I also found that if I attempted to print an A4 doc with bleed and crop marks, it would set the default paper size to A4 and the annoying scale to fit would be set to 83%. If I then changed the scale by typing in 100% but don't hit enter for fear of the print starting and then simply use the drop down to change the paper to A3 and then change the orientation and then hit enter it ignores that you have changed the scale and prints your doc at 83% on A3 - Brilliant!
It's a shame to say that I will be going back to acrobat for pdfs!
If you can't put a 100% scale radio button on the print dialogue box either allow people to change the default in prefs or even better allow the presets to control paper size and scale of printing!

How can I set the default print settings of my document as color. I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document. similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

Hi,
Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?

Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?
All text prints too small. Settings for font size haven't changed and the emails print out much smaller than the view settings.
I don't see the options for "Rewrap message to fit" or "Keep fonts the same size".
Suggestions?

I have the same problem. Text and the info with the "To" header all prints very small. I also cannot find the controls described. Just updated to Mavericks, never had problem before this. Same printer, and problem also occurs on another different model printer I tried for a test.

Printer doesn't save paper size in saved printer setting

I have saved an A3 printer setting with the paper size as A3 but it always load the dafult paper size (A4) even when I load my A3 setting. Am I doing something wrong?
Canon iR ADV C2020 with the latest driver on 10.8.4

Try holding the Option key and selecting Library from the Go menu in the Finder. Then go to the Preferences folder in the window that opens, and locate the file or files that begins with "com.apple.print.custompresets," and move them out of this folder (e.g., to the trash). After this, log out and back in to your account, and then try setting up your preset again.
You might also remove the file "com.apple.print.printingprefs.plist" since this is involved with what presets are picked.
