Print job problems with AEBS - jobs don't print until another job is sent

I have been experiencing an anomaly with my printer not printing the last page of multipage documents since getting our AEBS with Gigabit Ethernet. Before getting the AEBSs, I had two Linksys routers that were performing well, but would crash regularly. I recently purchased two AEBS router to replace my two Linksys routers. I have the latest AEBS, and an older AEBS M8799LL/A sometimes referred to as the UFO or Crow’s Nest. My printer is a networkable HP Color LaserJet 2550n.
When the Apple Tech Support person could not get this printer to work when attached to an Ethernet port, they suggested that I attach it to the USB port. I finally got it to work with our Macs, and Windows XP running in Parallels using Bonjour. What we noticed right away was that the printer was taking longer to respond than when we were using it as a network printer under our previous Linksys network. Another thing that happened was that frequently a print job would not appear to have been sent (spooled?) to the printer so we would issue the print command after waiting a couple of minutes and end up with two copies of what we were printing. Yesterday I was printing a basic 5 page text document from Pages and the last page did not print. So I created a document with just a ‘.’ and sent it to the printer. Out came the last page of my five page Pages document and the document with just a ‘.’. The AEBS does appear to be somewhat more stable than our Linksys equipment, but getting printer to work properly has been very frustrating.
Is anyone aware of what might be causing this problem. At first I was blaming Windows, but it is happening very frequently when printing basic documents in Mac OS X 10.4-Tiger. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Ah the self healing properties of OSX. This problem appears to have fixed itself.

When I purchase and app or update it, it comes up with 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please enter another payment method'?

So when I go to update my apps and/or purchase them, a pop up comes up saying 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Tap continue and sign in to view billing information.' So I press continue and sign in, then it goes to my 'Payment Method' page. In red writing below, it says 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please enter another payment method.' Because I used a MasterCard for my last purchase, it won't let me change it. I redeemed my account from an Itunes gift card to $20 but I cannot use it as it doesn't give me the option of using it. My only billing options are either a Visa Card, MasterCard or Amex Card. Please help me if possible!!!

Printing slides (chalkboard them) some object don't print

I am trying to print out my presentation.
I chose the chalkboard theme.
White lines and shapes do not print on the presentation.
(I chose not to print background when printing)
I have white lines with arrows that don't print. (White text does though)
I have filled circles (Without outlines) that don't print either.
Kinda frustrating, can't figure out what to do.

I disagree.
Text is a different entity compared to shapes, text has a particular set of compared attributes, shapes have a different set of attributes.
Why not white lines?
I do not know. A tick box in the print dialogue to print objects as black when the background is not printed would be good idea but that option is not available.
No matter what color the Object (A cicle in this case) it does not print.
Yes same here.

Printing/Scanning Problem with HP All-In-One

As you will see, I am a bit confused as to how my Mac is talking to my HP all in one. I am having printing and scanning problems. When I try to print, nothing happens. I go to print status and the print job is there but the printer is not printing. I try pausing, deleting and trying to print again, hold to no avail. It recognizes the job, it just won't print.
Scanning is similar. Most of the time I end up with an error message "The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". It directs me to restart the program, close all programs, re-boot the computer. I have done all of these and no go. In addition, no other programs are running at the time.
As far as my computer recognizing the HP, it does in both wifi and bluetooth. I have made it my default printer.
I have a time capsule as a router and everything is set up properly for it. Four bars are shown indicating it is acting properly. Both it and bluetooth are turned on. The HP status lights are on for both wifi and bluetooth.
I have checked with HP and Apple Support and could not find anything that addresses my issue. Please help!!
Thanks

I had a similar problem awhile back with my HP F2210 all-in-one. I basically re-downloaded all of the software for the printer from HPs site. Before re-installing, I did a safe boot. Then, I reinstalled and restarted and all was well. When software update told me there was a new driver available, I installed it and things still worked. I'm able to print, scan, and all the printer is supposed to do without a hitch.

Problem with embedded font on offset printing

Hello,
I generated a leaflet with InDesign CS5. I exported it as PDF/x-3:2002. In the document, I used quote signs (American Typewriter Light font). When I export the PDF, everything goes well, and when I check in Acrobat, the font seems correctly embedded. However, when I picked up the leaflets at the printing house today (it's an offset printing), all the quotation marks were not printed (squares instead). Where does the problem come from?? Did the printing people did a mistake and what mistake? Or is it me?
Thanks for your help!!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to respond to this thread up until now, but having reviewed this full thread, I have a few comments to offer:
It is irrelevant whether the original text was copied and pasted or whether the font was Type 1, TrueType, a TrueType collection, OpenType CFF, etc. The real issue is whether the PDF/X-3:2002 file exported from InDesign is indeed valid. This can very easily be verified by running the appropriate preflight profile for PDF/X-3:2002 in Acrobat Pro 10 or 11. There is no need for any third party plug-ins or any other software for this.
Assuming that preflight pronounces the file to be 100% kosher with no exceptions and that the file displays properly in Acrobat Pro, you should then try printing the file (or even just the pages that exhibited the problem) from Acrobat Pro to a printer that supports Adobe PostScript 3.
If the printed output from the PostScript printer is correct as well, the problem lies totally with your print service provider and their workflow.
In our extensive experience, problems can occur in any number of ways. One of most frequent sources of problems are printers who routinely open PDF files in Adobe Illustrator to view and “fix” them, somehow thinking that Adobe Illustrator is a general purpose PDF editor. For the record, Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again not a general purpose PDF file editor. Adobe Illustrator can only successfully edit PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator itself when the “save editability” option is specified. Even then, Illustrator requires you to have all fonts referenced by the PDF file actually installed on your system; it does not use any fonts embedded in the PDF file. For other PDF files (such as those produced by Distiller, export from InDesign, etc.), character substitutions (especially for non-ASCII characters such as typographical quotes), font substitutions, color space changes, etc. are common issues.
If the printer is not abusing Illustrator on your InDesign-exported files, it could be any number of third party products that many printers use, some of which are of dubious value and some of which may be either defective in terms of compliance with the PDF specification or simply grossly out-of-date. (It is amazing how many print service providers put their customers' submitted PDF files through all sorts of “fixup” processes, regardless of whether the files need such fixups or not. Many of these “fixups” are more likely to cause problems than they are to fix anything!)
Under no conditions should you need to fully embed fonts in your PDF files. Certainly no Adobe software, including applications, Acrobat, and our PostScript and PDF RIP technologies licensed to OEMs is any way sensitive to whether fonts are subsetted or not! If a third party workflow component is so-sensitive, it is by definitiion defective.
In terms of imposition, there should likewise be no sensitivity to whether fonts are subsetted or not. By the way, the most reliable imposition is actually done at the RIP itself, not by programs that either place PDF files into other documents and regenerate PDF or by utilities that rearrange PDF files or create new PDF files representing the printed flats.
This thread also discussed the issue of whether the OP received a “proof.” Unless you receive a hard copy proof in which the content was put through the exact same workflow as the final product, including RIP and all prepress steps, it is very possible that the defect noted would not show up on the proof. Nonetheless, obtaining a hard copy proof is an excellent idea, especially if the issue comes up about liability for the cost of reprinting the job or even whether the original job should be paid for if the print service provider can't “fix” their workflow problems!

Intermittent Print/Scan Problems with Canon MF8380Cdw on Wireless Network

For nearly a year now, I've experienced problems printing and scanning using the Canon MF8380Cdw on our network. The most troubling are the intermitent problems getting the printer to respond during a print job after the device has been found on the network. Less troubling but still annoying are the problems scanning: it's very difficult to initiate a scan job. It usually requires trying to initiate the job from the printer AND from the computer in quick succession. I have reinstalled drivers many times. Why isn't printing and scanning effortless?
Print sequence messages in the Canon MF8300C Series print manager:
Printing - Looking for printer: takes a long time.
Printing - Connecting to printer: takes a long time.
Printing - The printer is not responding: takes a long time; indicates failure.
Some information that may help:

Canon MF8300C Series driver, version 10.0.0

Base station, laptop, and printer are all in the same corner of the same room--signal strength is not an issue. Have had problems, previously, when printer was connected to switch via ethernet. So... Nice thought, but I don't believe that's it.
Other things that didn't work: restarting printer, restarting computer.
Is it possible that OS updates mess with the driver, requiring reinstallation? Our PC users do not seem to have these issues.
I am also using a non-UFR II driver this time, but per a suggestion from a forum, I tried UFR II previously. I have read many forum exchanges involving Canon/Mac problems and have tried several solutions proposed by PAHU.
Reinstalled printer driver again today, and I can print again (for now), but it's an intermittent problem, likely to return.
Thoughts?

System.printing font problem with numbers

I hope I'm putting this question in the correct forum as the issue covers a lot of ground.
I have a C#.net 4 web service on an IIS 7.5 box (call it box 1) that creates XPS documents and stores them in an SQL database.
I have a second C# .net 4.5 (tried .net 4 too and it makes no difference)web service on a separate box (box 2) that pulls documents out the database and sends them to print server queues on separate boxes, say this is box 3, using System.Printing which
is pretty bog standard code except for the XML tray designation code.
This works and the documents are rendered correctly except...
If the font installed on box 1 (IIS 7.5 on server 2008 R2) that is used to create the documents is also installed on box 3 (Times New Roman for example on the print server which is also server 2008 R2) then the documents text comes out
in Times New Roman as you would expect, but any numbers within that text come out in some unknown bold san serif font (e.g abcde
12345). If I put a text character directly in front of a number it renders correctly.(e.g abcde x12345) If the font isn't installed on box 3 then it comes out correctly, numbers and all. If I print the documents from XPS viewer
then they print correctly. The font versions makes no difference. I've tried changing the printer settings (print directly, advanced feature off, client rendering etc) and this makes no difference. The documents are properly formatted right down to each
paragraph now (trying to get rid of this problem) and still it persists.
This issue only appears if both boxes have the same font and you are printing from code.
I've got around the problem by using an equivalent Linux TTF that'll never appear on both servers, but I'd love to know where this problem is. Any takers on answering this?

Hi Ghost...
If you're talking about the Linux TTF, it works just fine, unfortunately it's not an exact match, so in order to get Times New Roman to work as advertised I might have to put some rather "dubious" code in, i.e. hunt down any text that "starts with"
number or find space + 0-9 and then stick an "i" in front in white..that sort of "dubious" thing.
The Time New Roman problem (and other fonts that are on both the IIS 7.5 box where the documents are created and the print servers where they are spooled) is quite baffling.
These are examples of the issue.
2 people went to market...the text comes out in Times, the number comes out in some bold san serif.
I went to the market on 12/12/2012 to see some pigs...shows the same problem
I went .2 the market on .12/12/2012......shows the same problem
I went t2 the market on i12/12/2012...all renders as Times.
In a nutshell, if the char preceeding the number is a-z the numbers are rendered correctly, otherwise they come out as bold san serif.
If I use, say for example Garamond (which isn't on the print server) then the whole everything renders correctly in Garamond. Same thing with all other fonts I tried. if both are on both servers then you get the problem. We have a mix of printers from
various manufacturers hanging off the print servers and the same thing happens on all of them so it's not a printer driver problem.
Everything renders correctly from a print out from the XPS viewer.
The exact architecture is that browser Ajax requests are fired at the doc builder service on an IIS box which builds the documents, puts them in an SQL database as byte arrays and returns success. Depending on the user's location and printer
spec, a new Ajax request is then sent to another IIS box (which is either local or remote to a print server) to print out the documents on location specific printers. The reason for doing it this way was to avoid Kerberos issues that would occur in a double
hop to a remote print server. Note: this is not my domain and I have no control over maintenance, but a Kerberos failure would result in badness, so it's been avoided. Therefore jobs that don't need an exact user, use a domain app pool account and jobs that
do require a specific user go to a service on the print server. Either way the same issue arises.
I though the problem was with my code, but the MS example XPS documents show the same issue.
XPS creation is by GemBox.Document from docx templates and Gembox saw the same issue on their servers when I brought this problem up with them. They put a fix in that partially resolved the matter from their standpoint, but it didn't make any difference
in my architecture.

Problems with hp officejet pro 8610 printing labels

I have a new HP offficejet Pro 8610 less than 6 months old. I was printing address lables (Avery 8160) and everything seemed fine after the first group then when I started the second set they were out of alignment I readjusted the paper and tried again to print and I get a message that there is a problem with printer or the the paper is not the wrong size for the job and its the same paper so thats not it I tried shutting everything down and starting over and it allowed me to print one and it was perfect but when I tried to print another it went back to same message wrong paper size I am still using same size paper I am using Avery 8160 labels and that is the size on the avery website I am printing from. Any help is much appreciated thank you.

Hello ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would have to agree that the issue is within Microsoft Windows 7 regarding the printing issue with the Officejet L7780. Since the printer will print fine when using Ubuntu, it would appear there is an issue with the drivers and or software on Windows 7.
Have you tried using the Print and Scan Dr? This will look into the drivers, software, etc on the computer and attempt to resolve on its own. Let me know what the results are when you run it.
You could try the steps in this HP guide: Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. The L7780 does not display in the document but it will work with the Deskjet 9800 driver.
I hope this helps,

Printing layout problem with Lightroom CC 2015 Release

Hello,
I am working with the following configuration :
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015 Release
EPSON Stylus Pro 3880
I tried to print two images on a Super A3 paper sheet with an EPSON Stylus Pro 3880 directly from Lightroom and here is an example of what I expected (I resized and added a black border for better visibility on the forum):
This is the preview I have in the printing module of Lightroom and this is also what I have when I print to a JPEG file with Lightroom.
Sadly, after I launched the printing job, this is what came out of the printer:
As we can see, the layout of the two pictures has been shifted toward the top of the paper sheet (cropping the top of the first image in the process) and about 30% of the right part of the layout has not been printed.
Do you have any idea of what I am doing wrong here?
For your information, I do not print very often so I am not 100% sure that I set everything correctly. However, I have been successfully printing in the past and it was with the same MacBook Pro on the same EPSON Stylus Pro 3880 printer but it was with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 and with Lightroom 5.x (I cannot remember exactly which version).
Moreover, because my print was urgent, I retried with a Windows machine running Lightroom 4.x with the same printer and it was a success. So I doubt that my initial settings on my MacBook Pro were wrong although I am not 100% sure.

I am in France and I found out that EPSON is providing at least two different files for its v9.33 driver that relate to the Stylus Pro 3880 with OSX:
epson16738.dmg: US version (https://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=141552&prodoid =63085147&infoType=Downloads&d…)
epson379436eu.dmg: French version (Support et téléchargements - Epson Stylus Pro 3880 - Epson)
and I realize that I was using the US driver which.
After few minutes of refection, I realized that the 3880 driver that I installed on my MacBook pro was the only piece that was present when my prints failed and absent when my prints succeeded. So I though it had found out the cause of my problems until I tried with the french driver (epson379436eu.dmg)...
In the meantime Adobe has release of new version of lightroom so let me recap my new configuration:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015.0.1 [ 1018573 ] (info available in Help menu > System info > Lightroom version)
EPSON Stylus Pro 3880
Epson driver v9.33 epson379436eu.dmg
... and the result of my test is ... nothing at all! Lightroom sends the the print job to the printer but nothing comes out of it.
However, when I printed to a file from lightroom and then tried to print this file with OS X Preview on the Epson 3880, it worked perfectly.
It also worked when I printed from Photoshop CC (2014.2.2).
It also worked when I printed from Lightroom but with a different printed and driver (Canon MF8580Cdw).
Therefore, among the five elements of my configuration cited above, there is none for which the printing job is always failing. It is hard to find out what is the faulty piece of software!

Problems with variation in colour from printer

Hi, I've created a book cover in photoshop which is going to be offset-printed. I've gone down to my local Kinko's copying place to get a laser proof of the job. I've created two sizes (one is about 1/4 the size of the other). However when I received the colour laser printouts the two printouts were very different from each other. No-one there really could help me. I saved the files in PDF and in high print quality preset and CMYK. The two printouts had colour bars on the side which were the same on both printouts, which is why I suspect that I've done something wrong. Would anyone know why getting a print in two different sizes could alter the background colour so much? I don't want to go to the expense of buying colour charts. Thanks.

How were the size variations created? If you resized them in PS, the pixels would get interpolated and in turn this would lead to different amounts of the color inks in the channels when they are rasterized for print. Therefore resizing should be done by the RIP on the proof printer (or by sending a downsized print job from the print panel, or downsizing it in Acrobat with respect to color sep...).

Print authentication problem with a shared USB printer

I'm trying to assist my brother with the setup of his new iMac i3 (running 10.6.4). He is converting from a G5 iMac (which was, I believe, on Tiger) to the i3 and has a Canon MP610 printer. The Canon MP610 printer has been connected via USB to the G5 with printer sharing on, and his wife has been able to print to the printer over Bonjour from her MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8) when it was shared via the G5.
As soon as we moved the printer to the i3, she became unable to print from the MacBook Pro, because it began putting documents on hold in the queue and requiring authentication to print.
Nothing we've tried will ether allow us to get past the authentication or get rid of the prompt. We've deleted and re-added the printer multiple times, assured that the new i3 is the only one set up for sharing its connected printer - tried different user passwords to authenticate - we're stuck. My brother is the sole user/administrator account on the i3, his wife is the sole administrator/user on the MacBook Pro. The MP610 has been totally deleted from the old G5 so we don't think it is interfering.
They're in California, I'm doing remote support from Texas. The computers and printer are all in the same room in their home.
I've read posts this morning in the community about this issue but they all reference Windows networks.. there is no Windows or mixed Windows-Mac model in our scenario.
Please help! thanks in advance.

The layout of the print window is not the same as OS 9.x and prior. There will not be a choice for double sided printing as there was pre OS X unless the printer comes with an automatic duplexer.
You will have to figure out how to print odds and evens in separate jobs and do it manually.

Wireless printing problem with hp officejet 100 mobile printer from win 7 dell laptop

My hp officejet 100 mobile printer was working fine with my dell XPS 15 in bluetooth wirelessly until my laptop crashed. Now I can not get it to print internet info except with hard wire connection. Page loads half way and then stops. Must shut down laptop and shut off printer or hard wire and shut off bluetooth. down loaded lastest drivers to no avail. printer will print from cell phone and win 8 computer via bluetooth but not win 7 laptop.

Sorry you are having problems with printing from the internet. I have a few more questions to ask you before I can be of much assistance.
What web-browser are you using?
Do you have any problems printing from Word or other non-internet documents?
What did you do to fix your computer (system restore, clean install of the OS, etc)?
Have you tried an alternate web-browser?
Make sure to install all of your Microsoft updates to see if that helps. Otherwise, answer those questions for me please and I will be happy to help.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Kodak 6150 printer connection problem with iMac 10.64

I finally got tired of the HP printer eating me alive with ink costs. I purchased a Kodak 6150 printer. Surprised to find out I had to install drivers but that is done.
Here is the problem. If I connect the printer directly via USB to the iMac it works fine. If I connect it to my airport extreme I can print from my Macbook but NOT from the iMac.
Was running a trial version of Intego just to see if possible virus was reason for almost incessent presence of the rainbow wheel - no virus. I turned off the Intego and still no luck being able to print from the iMac.
Per the previous question I did double check and sharing for all is on. The little screen on the printer says it is connected to my network. The printer is about 2 feet from the iMac and the airport is halfway between them so no walls etc in the way.
Any idea's?
Thanks

1. When printers are setup they JOIN a network, and they remember the network name and wireless password. Since that has been changed, you have to REJOIN the printer to your new network of your AirPort Express. Basically, the printer has to be reconfigured. You can always contact your printer manufacturer for assistance.
2. Navigate to the , then System Preferences, then Network. Click on the Advanced button on the bottom right, you should see a box with Preferred Networks. Remove the unwanted networks (such as your neighbors network).

I'm having lots of problems with my Macbook, don't know where to start.

I've got an Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook, about 4-5 years old, running 10.5.8. It's set up with two logins, one each for my wife and I. We're having problems with several things:
Every time I open a PDF, Acrobat asks for my administrator password and reinstalls itself.
We use OpenOffice - but every time we quit the application, it opens right up again and recovers the last doc we were working on.
We use two airport express routers - one to create the wireless network and run the printer, one to stream music to the stereo, mostly via Airfoil. It seems overly complex, but the cable comes in one end of the house through the basement, and the stereo is at the other end of the house upstairs, and it worked fine until last week. We've lost contact with the stereo AX, and even plugged in with an ethernet cable I can't set it up - I can go through the menus, and when I try to finalize everything it just sits there blinking amber and eventually I lose the connection with the AX in the basement too - but I get it back upon restarting the computer.
My wife is having problems with copying and pasting in Firefox/Yahoo mail using her login, but I can't duplicate them in mine.
Firefox forgets things in my login that it remembers in hers - like it won't ever open to my homepage, always the "thanks for updating" page. I've googled that and found a few references to the problem, and tips for fixing it (deleting a few files), but they haven't worked for me.
We have intermittent problems with permissions - occasionally I can't write to a folder I created.
In the past I've been able to download HD video direct (without converting) from my Panasonic Lumix LX-5 camera through iMovie, but last time I tried the files were greyed out and unavailable.
A few months back everything froze and it wouldn't start up. A friend, who is a Mac IT guy, had a look at it and reinstalled the system, and it's worked ok since, with the exceptions noted above. We do back up regularly with Time Machine, and for most of the time I've had the macbook I used Saphos antivirus, until I read it could cause problems with Time Machine, at which point I uninstalled it.
I'm not a computer guy, I just want to have a reliable machine I can use every day without having to sit down and reconfigure some settings to get it to work. I have no idea whether these problems are related, or totally random, or a result of something I did. I half want to just forget it and replace the laptop and the one AX I can't get to work, but if it's a relatively simple fix, I'd realy prefer not to spend the money right now.
Any recomendations would be appreciated, and feel free to ask for further information - hopefully I'll be able to provide it!
Andrew

Just curious. Have you opened disk utilities application in the utility folder and select your drive, and run repair permissions. This may or may not help. It also may take awhile if it has never been done. Good luck!
