OT: Printing is Broken (need to print a score in a hurry...)

Hi,
A week or so ago, printing stopped working on my 10.4.3 system. CMD-P will indeed bring up a printing dialog, but when I go to actually print I get an error. I can't even save as .pdf from the dialog. Something's messed up big time.
I've tried resetting the printing system, no dice.
I've tried re-installing the printer drivers, no dice.
I bought a new printer thinking it might be the source of the problem. Well, it doesn't work either. I get the same error messages and still can't save as .pdf from the printer dialog.
OK... I can now confirm that the fault doesn't lie with either of my printers or their drivers, and it's not a USB fault because... A little while ago, on another partition of my HD, I installed 10.4 from scratch. (Haven't updated it to 10.4.3 yet, just plain ol' 10.4). Then I installed the printer driver for the new printer from the supplied disk and voila -- I can print!
I took a chance and re-ran the 10.4.3 updater on my main HD to see if it would cure the printing problem. No go. Re-installed the printer drivers. No go. So I'm convinced that some files related to printing are corrupt on my main HD (again, 10.4.3).
I'm not in a position to re-install the system software from scratch on my main HD (starting with 10.4 and working up to 10.4.3 again) because I'll lose my plug-in authorizations and it will simply take me too long to re-authorize them all. (I'm in the middle of a big project...).
So here's what I'm thinking... Since my 10.4 system allows me to print just fine, I'd like to copy the pertinent printing-related files from the 10.4 system into the 10.4.3 system. Thing is, I don't know which files to attempt to copy. And of course I don't want to break my 10.4.3 system in the process.
Any ideas on whether this is do-able would be much much appreciated!

Well the PDF I would email would require you send the
session and I hit print, save as PDF and then you
could print the PDF from "B".
Oh, OK, I get it. If you sent me a .pdf, sure, I could print it from B, but I've really got to get A working.
FWIW, when I use CMD-P to open the print dialog, everything shows up: the printer, all the usual stuff, but when I actually hit "print" I get a "print error" message.
If the prefs thing doesn't work let me know. There
were a few other options. More options - where there
is a will...
I trashed all obvious prefs. Did multiple resets using the printer utility. Still same results. I'm now requesting "round 2" of help...
Can you just open up an older version of Logic on the
other system and then open a copy of the session, hit
print?
Nope, can't do that cuz it's too time consuming:
- save session
- quit logic
- select alternative startup disk B
- restart
- boot logic (which will play back none of the plug-ins cuz they're not authorized for B)
- load session
- print
- then reverse the whole process just to go back to my regular Logic system with all of the authorized plug-ins, etc.
Any other suggestions would be most appreciated!

  • Take laptop & printer to client, need to print from client computer using my printer

    I nstalled my HP Laserjet 1102w to my laptop with my ips address to work wireless.
    I take my laptop & printer to client's location and need to print from their computers using my HP Laserjet 1102w.
    I network in to their ips address using my laptop to.
    Could not install my HP Laserjet 1102w on their computer & print from their computer.
    How do i print from my HP Laserjet 1102w using their computers at their location?
    Thanks!

    Hi debitacct ,
    Thanks for clarifying that information.
    You would have to restore the printer's defaults and reset up the printer on their network at the new location every time, to be able to print from the clients computer and you would have to connect to their network on your computer and add the printer back in again with the new IPv4 address.
    Another way you could do this is through a USB connection or use the Wireless Direct.
    You would have to enable the Wireless Direct on the printer through the printer's Embedded Web Server if you didn't select this feature during the installation. This will allow both computers to connect directly to the printer and print, but keep in mind you won't have internet access at the same time. So you can print when connected to the printer's network or connect back to the main network again to access the internet.
    Here are the steps for enabling the Wireless Direct through the printer's Embedded Web Server if you decide to go this route. Print a configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address. Printing a Configuration Page.
    Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
    Then click on the Networking tab, select Wireless Direct Setup on the left side and check the Enable wireless direct printing.
    I hope I explained that alright for you. The USB connection would most likely be the easiest way to go.
    Have a nice day!

  • Moxzilla installed Microsoft office, powerpoint, excel, and etc., and I can not print anything, I need my printing ability back asap, can you help me please?

    When I try to print, I am unable to. Something pops up about I need to install a printer, but I already have a printer, and it was working just fine until I order microsoft office accessories on Sunday February 20, 2011.

    Using File > Print or {Ctrl + P} to initiate printing you get what is known as the "native print dialog" box - is your printer selected in the '''Printer - Name''' selector near the top of that box?

  • 10.6. printing broken for HP printer,,how to fix6

    Since upgrading to 10.6.6 my HP7850 printer is unavailable via USB.
    I usually leave it connected via a USB printer port on the Vigor router, so other PC's in the house can print to it, but when needing to print something that needs better printer quality (photos) and control than the Gutenprint driver can offer, I unplug from the router and plug it directly in to the Mac
    Since 10.6.6 it fails to work via USB direct to the Mac.
    It was showing as Offline, even when it was Online, so I tried various USB ports, but no luck. I then tried to delete and re add the printer. from Sys Prefs Printer&Fax Pane. It fails to see the printer so can't add it.
    Have Reset the printing System according to the help files on the Apple site, and downloaded the 10.6.6 HP driver pack from Apple.
    Still it fails to see the printer.
    It is on the Compatible printer list, and have also tried a selection of USB cables
    I can still print to it when using the Gutenprint driver when connected via the network router, just not when plugged direct to the Mac.
    Anyone know how to fix this ?

    With the printer connected via USB, open System Profiler and under the Hardware section select USB. In the right hand pane will be a list of the USB busses on the Mac. The HP should be listed under one of these busses. If it is not then this explains why it was not seen in the Default Add Printer browser. I suggest trying another USB printer cable and even disconnecting the power from the HP for a minute before reconnecting.
    If the printer is showing under one of the bus lines but still fails to appear in the Default Add Printer view then please reply.

  • PDF document not full page but need to print it as a full page

    Hi,
    I have a pdf document which is 15 cm by 8 cm and need to print it as a full page without the white border making up the full page. How can I do this?
    The document was created in publisher and saved as a pdf.
    I am reading the document from Adobe Reader on a Windows XP machine.
    Thank you for any help any one can give.

    Do you have a printer that can print pages without a white border?
    Very few printers can do this.

  • Need helping printing to networked printers.

    I need help setting up network printers that have a code on them for each individual. There is no place to put a code so the printer will know who is printing what. I have installed 3 printers and they will not print, they just go to a paused mode and when you hit resume in reverts back to pause because it is looking for a code. I have tried it another way but it asks for a user name and password and all we have are codes. The workplace is using a windows based server and the copiers are listed as followed.

    I need help to be able to print from my mac. I also have parallels running with xp installed and all the printers are installed on that side and printing fine. Hopefully someone can help me out.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In order to provide the user with the ability to input a user code, the respective printer driver would have to provide the facility. If this feature did exist on a previous version of OS X, then you may have to check the vendors web site to see if there is a driver for 10.6.
    If you are not sure if the function was supported previously, then go through all the user menus for the driver. The function may be present but located in an unusual location. Or it could require an additional file (aka plugin) that could be missing from the driver installation or not compatible with 10.6.
    The other thing to note is that if you have the Mac's printing via a Windows queue, you will have to provide user credentials for SMB print queues. This is typically a Windows user account - not the Mac's account details. If you don't want to create accounts for the Mac users on the Windows server, then you can use LPD rather than SMB to connect to the Windows queues. This does require UNIX Printing Services to be enabled on the server.

  • Help! Need to print my 100-page document onto very thin paper

    Hi all,
    You have come to my rescue SO MANY times, I need your help once again! This community has saved me SO many times:) This is not a direct InDesign question, I know, but rather pertaining to a document I created in InDesign. (So I know I shouldn't really be posting this here but at the same time I know that this community should know the answers to my questions more so than anywhere else.)
    I have a 8.5cmx10cm document that is black and white, 202 pages thick (will be 101 pages once printed because it will be printed on both sides). The problem is that the total thickness of the finished product CANNOT exceed 3/16" because of the space where it needs to fit. I am having a problem finding a printer that can print on very thin stock. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where this can be printed?
    Thank you very much in advance for your help!
    Christine

    WOW.
    I just checked my roll of tracing paper, and I don't think it's thin enough to do what you want, even ignoring the fact that you need a cover, too.
    May father sometimes tells about a job he had in the army printing the word "COPY" onto sheets of onion skin paper. He had a POW assigned to grab each sheet as it left the press in order to flatten it out before it had a chance to roll into a tube the size of a soda straw.
    You might find a specialty printer with a web press that can do it, but there's probably no way anyone could read the book. Paper that thin is so transparent the opposite side of the page would show through, even if the ink didn't soak through. This sounds like some sort of manual that needs to go on aircraft or something. Is there a way to reduce the page count by adjusting the type size, or finding a bigger space to fit it into?

  • Need to print a report

    Hello guys,

    a report, I need to print the report,

    Kishore,
    Do you want the report to show up and then
    the browser print window to show up?
    If so, then in the unstructured template, call the window.print() method using the onLoad event for the body tag. When the report loads in the browser, you will get the browser print window (in Netscape). In IE, the print starts automatically.

  • In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

    In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

    You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
    If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
    I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.

  • HT4946 I need to print & back-up a series of abusive/threatening SMS (on iphone 5c) for my solicitor. Is there a way to do this which will show the time, date & sender info? How can I preserve (full) SMS data as evidence for future court proceedings?

    Does anyone know how to access sms text messages from iphone 5c backup from icloud or itunes? Apparently SMS can be restored so data I need must be stored in backup. I need to print a series of abusive/threatening SMS messages received on my iphone 5c from one sender. I need the time, date & whatever data is stored about source/sender of messages, as well as content. How can I access this data to create a chronological record of the abusive SMS messages and can I preserve the iphone's message log specifically-- so I can access records of these texts without having to restore a back-up? I need to do this to provide evidence for my solicitor and preserve that evidence for future court proceedings, thank you.

    Sounds to me more like you have the Display Performance set on Typical rather than High Quality Display. Unless there is a problem with a missing or out-of-date link, the display in ID has nothing to do with output quality -- all of the image data is used for output.

  • Needing a 'print preview' capability for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (model N911a)

    Please provide a 'print preivew' capability via the HP 'print window' for the 8600 Pro.
    I purchased this machine in early April 2014 after the prior printer (photosmart 410) 'threw-up' ink inside the printer.  The software with that Photosmart 410, prior (and perhaps some current) HP printers provide a 'print preview' capability.
    I have several systems (some Windows Vista; some Win-7).  All are current with maintenace (including HP S/W & drivers).
    The printer is ethernet-cable connected to a 'switch' and in-turn ethernet-cable connected to a wireless router.  Some PCs are also ethernet-cable connected; others are wireless connected.
    The ability to do a 'print preview' via the HP S/W is not available on any system (i.e. via the 'print' window or subsequent windows, like 'Properties' or 'Advanced').
    While some applications have a print preview capability, not all do.  Having that capability via the printer 'window (i.e via HP provide S/W) is necessary - it is useful to make sure formating is proper, allows for subsequent changes if needed, and provides the abiloity to see and select the printing of only some pages.
    This issue and request has been raised several times - going back to 2012.  Just do a search on the Forum using keywords '8600' and 'preview'.  The following are a couple instances:
    1)  http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/Automatic-print-preview/m-p/1529879...

    Hi DragonflyFairy,
    I understand you would like to know how to get the print preview when printing from the internet.
    Depending on what browser you are using, you should have the option to do the print preview.
    I have provided 3 different browsers with how to get to the print preview.
    Internet Explorer: Go to file, print preview and make your adjustments.
    Google Chrome: Go to the icon in the top right corner and click the icon with the 3 lines, click print, make your changes.
    Firefox: Click on the tab Firefox dropdown and select print, print preview. Change your settings.
    If you are missing the print preview, take a peek at these documents to see if it will help.
