OK to delete boms for uninstalled printer drivers in /Library/Receipts?

I've trashed a bunch of unnecessary printer drivers from /Library/Printers. Can I trash their related Receipts in /Library/Receipts/boms? Together they are using quite a few MBs. They all start with com.apple.
Another quick question: A 3rd party app called DockDoctor installed a number of Receipts in the same location at boms. I've uninstalled the app, but would like to know if it's OK to trash their Receipts located there. If I do, could that cause some sort of conflict (permissions?) with the a.receiptdb (inside the db folder) which I noticed was changed at the time I installed the app? Thanks

You can delete items from the receipts folder if you really really want to, but I wouldn't recommend it.
- It shouldn't cause problems if the item is definitely removed.
- It could cause problems if the item isn't removed.
In any case, for most people the risk outweighs the benefit. If you're really short on hard drive space, I'd recommend other strategies. It's also generally a good idea to stay out of the /Library folder.

  • Uninstalling Printer Drivers

    I just bought a Mac Book Pro with Retina display.  I installed printer drivers, and now I want to uninstall them.  I can see the icons for the printer drivers but I don't know how to uninstall them.  Can someone guide me through this?  This is my first Mac.  Thank you!!!

    Go to settings, then printers and scanners, and select the printer and then the minus sign

  • How do I uninstall print drivers that do not work?

    I've downloaded the HP drivers for 10.6 from here
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/HPPrinter_Drivers_for_Mac_OS_X_v106
    However, I am still unable to get my HP PSC 1400 to print via the Time Capsule. Since the driver package ended up being +500 MB, is there any way that I can uninstall these drivers to regain that space?

    So the printer drivers for the PSC1400 series unfortunately did not make it onto the DVD. They will be available through a software update at some point in the future. You should able to install the 10.5 solution to get basic functionality working again. As for deleting the files, yes there is a way, but it still leaves some of the files laying around so software update won't work.
    If you want the space though, most of the files are in /Library/Printers/hp. That being said the software update to provide printing support will probably put most of them back.
    Just trying to help.

  • How to uninstall print drivers Canon MF4150 issues

    Hello all, I am having a nightmare of a time getting my Canon MF4150 to print. It looks from all of the threads on here it was a less than ideal choice for a Mac owner.
    When I first bought the unit I managed to get it to print, everything seemed peachy.
    Problems arose when I wanted to use the unit to scan. I downloaded a variety of third party software and drivers in an attempt to get the scan function working. I had mixed results, and this process seemed to upset the printing side of things. Once I scanned a document, the printer would then not work.
    I abandoned the idea of scanning through the MF4150 and have gone back to dedicated Epson scanner.
    Since then I have not had any luck getting the printer to print again.
    I have gone through all the MF4150 related threads on these boards I can find, and followed the process to installed outlined here - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893 but to no avail.
    I really just want this thing to print and it's driving me nuts.
    I have the printer attached directly to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.2. I'm not trying to print through the Airport.
    I would like to know how to completely uninstall any UFR II drivers and related software / information and start this process from the beginning again.
    So far, using the answer provided by PAHU here https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893
    I have -
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    > DONE
    2. Select the MF4150 printer and press the minus " - " button to remove the printer. Do the same to any other printers that are in the printer list.
    > DONE
    3. Hold down the Control key and click in the empty printer list. A window showing 'Reset printing system' will display. Click this.
    > DONE
    4. Close the Print & Fax utility.
    > DONE
    5. Run the Canon UFR2 v1.70 installer and select Uninstall when the Easy Install menu appears
    > This is where I get snagged. I'm not offered a Uninstall option. I have attached a screen grab of the window I am presented with. I am currently trying the "o1141enx_m_ufr224" version of the UFR driver. I have continued to complete the points below regardless of the fact i cannot uninstall.
    6. Restart the Mac and run the v1.70 installer again to add the UFR2 files back onto your Mac
    7. Go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Select the Mac OS X partition in the left pane and select 'Repair Disk Permissions'. When this has completed, quit Disk Utility
    8. Open Print & Fax and add the MF4270 again
    9. Open TextEdit, type some simple text and select to print.
    10. Report back if the above doesn't get you printing.
    I have also attach a screen grab of the process I go through when adding the printer.
    Any help with this would be amazing. I've tried everything I can think of.
    My latest idea is to try and remove any trace of previous printer drivers and go from there. You can see in my list of available drivers in the file attached I now have all sorts of UFR drivers in the list.
    Again, if anyone can throw me a line on this that would be great.
    Thanks & Regards
    Coz

    Hello Coz,
    It's been a while since you've posted, I hope you have not given up.  I was having grief with my MF4150 as well, but got it working.  There is a more current driver - search for Mac_UFRII_V230_uk_EN and install it.
    Then, when you go to add your printer through System Preferences > Print & Fax, make sure you click the "default" icon in the top of the dialog.  It should show your Canon MF 4100 series , then use the bottom drop down menu to choose your driver and select Canno MF410 Series UFRII LT (UK) from the list.

  • How to uninstall printer drivers

    I have a 64Gb MacBook Air and installed the printer drivers for an HP printer.  Within a few hours of using the printer, three major faults occurred, so I returned the printer and got my money back.  I'm going to buy a Canon printer now but first I want to remove the HP printer drivers and all references to it.
    I'm using OS 10.7.5.
    None of the information I've picked up through the communities works for me becasue they refer to menu options that don't exist on this machine.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Thanks.
    G.

    Thanks very much mende1.  I followed your very clear instructions and it worked - all the HP references are now consigned to the dustbin.  Just a shame HP don't consign their model HP2050 to the dustbin!

  • Windows update requirements for Xerox print drivers on Windows 2003 server

    Hello, We are currently deploying a fleet of Xerox MFD's across ~100 locations, and we are running into an issue installing the print drivers on some Windows Server 2003 (32bit) boxes. (both the machine specific driver, as well as the Xerox Global print driver) The print driver installs fine, but no jobs will actually print, and if you try and print a test page, an error "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance?" comes up instantly. We have seem to have narrowed the problem down to a missing Windows update, as if we do all available High Priority and Optional updates, it starts to work fine. Does anybody know specifically which Windows updates are a requirement for the driver?  Our 2003 servers were last fully updated about a year ago, and due to time constraints, if we could just install the Windows updates that are needed it would be a big help. Thank you in advance

    When Xerox dropped support for XP, they stopped adding particular files from the driver packs (probably for size reduction) because they were all included by default in every newer OS. If you install this here on any XP/2003 base machines it will work as normal. It is best to install that before the driver install, but I have been mostly lucky to have it work fine days later. YMMV

  • Uninstall Printer Drivers, Additional Fonts, Language Translations?

    I just did an Archive and Install of 10.4 from 10.3.9, ran the combo updater to 10.4.3, and then upgraded to 10.4.4, but my only partly-caffeinated bad self installed all the extras Printer Drivers, Additional Fonts, and Language Translations when I did the original A and I of 10.4.
    I neither want nor need all these extras. How should I go about rectifying this situation?
    Thanks!
    Dual 2 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   6.5 GB RAM

    You can also disable fonts using Font Book (in the /Applications folder). But be careful, as disabling the wrong fonts can cause problems with various applications. Such problems include programs unexpectedly quitting as soon as they are launched.
    Note: I have had no problems disabling all of the Asian character fonts.

  • Finding Program for triggering Print Program (MIGO - Goods Receipt)

    Hi all,
    Currently, I have developed customized print program and SMARTFORMS for Goods Receipt via MIGO, with output type ZZGR.
    Typically, this is a inter-plant transfer, where Plant A will issue a Delivery Order to Plant B, and Plant B will post goods receipt via MIGO (Movement Type 101), using Delivery Order number. As soon as the Material Document is posted, the SMARTFORMS shall be triggered by customized print program, in order to print out the goods receipt document upon material doc posted.
    The config for output determination (via TCODE NACE) for goods receipt is configured. I have tested post a goods receipt using Delivery Order, and Material Document is posted successfully. However, I got a message from SAP Inbox (Businees Area), saying that my Material Document having an update error, and the root cause is specifically from calling Function Module to trigger Smartforms in the print program. From tcode ST22, I realized that the error is due to empty parameter being passed to the function module (where the parameter is required field for further processing in Smartform).
    In order to rectify why empty parameter is bieng passed, I will have to debug the print program, after GR posted from MIGO. Therefore, can someone shed some lights on how to perform a debugging process, or any standard sap program involved, as I understand that the print program is triggered (in background) after GR posted?
    Also, can I know why the Material Document will not be committed to MKPF table after GR posted, is it due to the update error from the above mentioned?
    Many thanks.
    Best regards,
    Patrick
    P/S: I'm using SAP ECC6.

    Actually, this print program is being triggered in the update processing.
    Put a breakpoint in your driver program.
    In MIGO, before pressing the SAVE button start debugging.
    Press the SAVE button.
    Start the update debugging by Settings > Update Debugging.
    As soon as you continue in debugging, it would open another debugging session for the Update debugging. You can press continue and it would stop at your breakpoint.
    Regards,

  • Error messages for HP printer drivers for printers I don't have

    I keep getting error messages that say "HP Color LaserJet 3600 doesn't have a driver" and "HP LaserJet 4000 Series doesn't have a driver" but I don't have either of these HP models and I don't think I ever did. I tried to skip the message but it keeps coming back. Any ideas?  Do I completely unload all my HP software and reload it? 
    Thanks!

  • When will there be fix for AirPrint in Yosemite? I cannot use my HP printer. I have uninstalled/resinstalled everything you can think of. I have deleted and added my printer more time than I can count. I have checked for updates. Nothing has worked.

    When will there be fix for AirPrint? Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot print from my MacBook Air which I use mostly. (I can print from the my old 2005 G5 desktop and iPad2 just fine on the same network.) I could print just fine when I had Mavericks. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun: resetting print system, deleting and adding the printer, checking for updates, uninstalling and reinstalling printer software and folders, turning off modem, router etc. NOTHING works.
    The laptop shows that it is printing but nothing happens. Then it says it cannot locate the printer or there is a broken pipe. But it does tell me that I have a low level in one of the ink cartridges (which is true.)
    Help! I have warned everyone I know not to upgrade. Is there a way to go back to Mavericks?
    MacBook Air (mid 2012), OS 10.10,  HP Officejet 7500a

  • Issues With Deleting Printer Drivers

    I'm currently using an Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and when I went to Epson.com to try and download the software that checks the ink levels, does diagnostics, etc, I accidently downloaded their EasyPrint which basically strips down the settings available from the print windows in applications to make it "easier" to print. As a serious photographer, I need to be able to alter all of the settings I'm used to, such as print quality, color settings, etc, which are not accessible now that EasyPrint is installed... I've tried installing the printer's normal drivers again, deleting it from my printer list and adding it back (and selecting the correct driver), but I still cannot access the more advanced controls. I tried looking in the Library>Printers folder, but there's only an icon for my printer's queue. Any ideas as to how I can uninstall this pesky software?

    I'm not too familiar with Epson printers, but I know that HP printers have to be uninstalled using a special HP uninstaller. Perhaps Epson has something similar. You might see if the support section of the Epson website can tell you how to completely uninstall what you have now so you can do a fresh install of what you really need.
    Good luck!

  • How can I uninstall Xerox print drivers and then reinstall them again

    Somehow I installed the wrong print drivers for our xerox printers running on the latest version of leopard and installing the correct driver doesn't seem to solve the problem. I want to remove all xerox driver files and reinstall the correct version of the driver.

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
