OS X printing failure

I have had innumerable problems getting my Epson 620 to print. I tried everything, last week I purchased X 10.4.6 to upgrade the X 10.4.3 and I did an archive and reinstall. The printer worked! Monday morning I hit the print button and again got the "Job stopped" message. I have done nothing with the computer since the last session when the printer worked fine, except shut down. The printer is brand new. Does anyone know what is going on? And is there a way to fix it short of buying a new computer?
Thanks,
G4 dual Mac OS X (10.4.6)

First, did you really purchase 10.4.6 when you already had 10.4.3? 10.4.6 is a free update. I think you should get your money back!
There are some generic fixes to try when you don't know what is causing the problem:
Delete and re-ADD the printer(s) in Printer Setup.
Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.
(Final step - reinstall OS X using the Archive & Install option in the installer.)
I hope this helps.

Photosmart 7510 e all in one series Printer failure Oxc19a0023

After having been turned off for several months, I plugged in my 7510e and the following message came on the screen.
Printer failure, Oxc19a0023, Please turn printer off then on. I did this with no change. I unplugged both electric plus and USB and reconnected. I removed the cartridges and replaced but the same message keeps coming and I cannot get passed this message. If anyone has had this problem and has been able to fix this or if anyone know how to fix this I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

Hello @TSLI76 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing 0x errors. I would like to help!
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend this document on An 'Ink System Failure' or a '0x ...' Error Message Displays on the HP Printer Control Panel.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Hp officejet 6700 premium printer-printer failure

I bought a HP officejet 6700 premium a month ago. I installed the printer and it printed ok. But after a few day of use, it suddenly stopped printing and gave a Printer Failure massage on the front control panel. The message says: There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn printer off then on. If problem persists, contact HP. I have checked all ink cartridges. They seem all ok (I have only print less than 10 pages since installed). I have turned power off and on several times but did'nt work. I have searched all over the HP website for help, but still can't find a solution for my printer problem. I deeply appreciate, if someone can help me or give me directions to make my new printer works again. Thanks.
P.S. my laptop computer has Winders 7.

Did you get an answer? I think the problem lies with the blue print head with the gold pins, they get bent when you change out printer cartridges. Several folks have had this problem. I watched a youtube video of repairman saying both the 6600 and 6700 printer had this problem until HP changed the print heads. I am still fussing with HP about this but I am pretty certain I won't get any relief. Good luck

Error Message: "Printer Failure" Problem with print or ink system . . .

Greetings!
I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but the error message refers to printer or ink system failure so I thought this was a good place. I've been troubleshooting my parents HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 AiO for the last 2 or 3 hours with little success. I've contacted HP tech support but they wanted $200 for the work to be done and neither I nor my parents, who are retired and on a fixed income, have the money to spare.
The tech support people said it was probably a problem with the drivers, so I attempted to reinstall the software, but that didn't help at all. A brief description of the problem might shed some light on this awful situation. Since this morning, my father tried to print something and the printer itself gave the following error message on the front LCD panel on the device itself (ie, not on Windows, but on the printer's display):
"Printer Failure
There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn it off, then on. If the problem persists, contact HP."
Obviously my first course of action was to follow the directions. I turned it off, unplugged the cord, waited approx. 30 seconds, replugged it in and turned it back on. Nothing changed. I've also tried removing and replacing the Ink cartridges, checking the tray for a paper jam or shortage and performing a rain dance in the hopes of attracting the gods' attention xP. In short, I'm at my wits end and don't know where to go from here.
I'm unable to access the device's LCD display control panel, which controls the printer, as the error message cannot be closed. I've tried restarting the PC as well, and a lot of other basic deductive troubleshooting procedures to no avail (forgive my overuse of cliches).
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. I wish you all a great day, and may the god of printing protect you from the same situation. I can assure you it's most unpleasant.
Regards, Sean (frosztbyte)
P.S. I'm not sure what other information might be needed in order to help me, but ask and you shall receive any I can find.

Hi frosztbyte,
I understand your parents have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 that is saying it has a printer failure, that you have thus far not been able to clear, despite your best effort and a rain dance (at least I know who to blame for the rain now ). I would be happy to help you as best I can!
The first thing I'd suggest you do is plug the printer directly to a wall outlet if it isn't already plugged to one, just to ensure the printer is getting all the power it needs to function properly. If that doesn't seem to change anything though, please have a look through this A 'Printer Failure' Message That Might Include an '0x610000f6' or '0x61xxxxxx' Error Code Displays o... document (it was steps for the same error without an error code as well) and hopefully it can help resolve the issue.
If the issue persists after trying the wall outlet and that document I would advise you try call HP again. I believe the number you called previously may have not have been HP, but another company. If you're in North America just call 1-800-474-6836, and if you're anywhere else have a look at this Contact HP Worldwide page to see what number to call for your area.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

HP Officejet 8620 Pro - repeated printer failure

An employee has a problem with a printer. It keeps saying "printer failure" Please restart it....over and over.

Printer failure after self-test .Deskjet 3650

hp deskjet 3650 printer failure. This happened after running a self-test to check ink level. Oddly, the test report printed out OK. I used the "lift cover 4 times" method to do the test

I have the same problem, starting 2 weeks ago.
I tried the suggestions at http://www.hp.com/support.
None of them worked.
Their advice in this case is: The product needs service.
Following this link, they checked my serial number and found that the printer was out of warranty.
They then displayed the message: The following services are available to you. Please choose ONE of the following:
You guessed it - there were no services available to me!
So what I am hoping is that someone can tell us how to fix it ourselves.

General printer failure 8315:5218

Hi,
When one of the user is trying to print from Adobe pageMaker 7.01a, it does not print and gives the below error message
An error occured while printing
General printer failure
8315:5218
It works fine when try to use the same printer from other applications like Word etc. Reinstalling also did not help.
Can somebody please help with this issue?
Thank You

Tried below things on users system. But no success.
Print the same file to a different printer
Copied the same file to a local folder and sent to print
Created a new file and sent to print it to different printers
Also ran Repair installation
But none of this worked. The PageMaker does not print to any printer. And gives the same error
Although I installed Acrobat on the system and can print it using Adobe PDF printer to a PDF file.
Is it a PS printer? No
Are you printing to FILE: ?
I do not know how FILE: is related to this. But I opened "Printers and Faxes" window. Select File --> Server Properties. In the "Ports" tab could see an entry for FILE: Do not know how it is related with Adobe Pagemaker
Are you using the Export… AdobePDF… macro? No
Create a new PM publication, with just a square of black on it - does that print OK? No, it gives the same error
It could be a permissions issue - are all the files on a local drive, usually C:, and not a server or flash drive? I copied file on local folder as c:\data\. But still the same error message.
What if you remove all the images- does it print OK? I created a new publication with only text in it and tried printing it. But same message.
Are you using any non-standard fonts? No
I will also carry out a diagnostic recomposition as per your reply and follow instructions from troubleshooting page. Will update again if it worked or not.

8.2.4 Acrobat update cause print failure

Once 8.2.4 update installed on Vista Enterprise PDF printing no longer works. All applications error out. Ran the Adobe fix command and rebooted. Printing still fails.
Is there an easy way to roll back to the previous version?
Are there any plans by Adobe to quickly release another patch?
Any other ideas on how to correct?

On my Vista system even the Office2007 plug-in fails with similar print driver failures. I have even tried running Microsoft Word 2007 as administrator without success.

Acrobat Printing Failure Mac Mountain Lion

Multipage PDF documents fail to print using iMac Mountain Lion (10.8) and Acrobat 11.0 . This failure is occurring on both USB and Network printers (HP Laserjets). The spooler appears to hang (Printing........). The printers begin to blink error code lights. This does not occur with Word documents. I have narrowed it down to only printing via Acrobat and via Safari (PDF). It does not occur when printing PDFs from Chrome. I have removed the printers. Re-installed printers. Cleared permissions. All multiple times. There is something clearly related to Acrobat's printing and not related to the printers or the connections. Please help.

I experimented with this a bit today and was not able to print from a couple of older G3s running OS X 10.4.11 to a printer shared on a 10.8.1 machine. I was able to print from that G3 running OS X 10.3.x to the printer on OS X 10.8.1.
The only thing I turned up in the logs came from the OS X 10.4.11 machine where the CUPS error_log showed--

I would suggest that all that have this problem submit a report to Apple using their feedback page or via radar if you have a developer's account.
