Print jobs stopping for no reason

Hi,
For some reason print jobs simply stop when sent to server print queues. The client queue shows "Connecting to 192.168.1.201 at port 631..." when the job is sent, then it halts & the job sits in the queue.
I've tried recreating the queues by deleting the printers from the server system prefs, adding them in again (as both LPD and IPP) by specifying their IP addresses. Does it matter what I spec for the queue name? Is it better to use the default or something that matches
There's some suspicious stuff in the print service log (see below), such as "shared == 0" for each of the queues & the final "master LPR sharing state = 0" after rebooting the server. If these are the culprits, how do I change the sharing state?

Airport Express HP6500, print job stopped errors

Looks like this is a re-occuring theme and many posts here indicate it's a common problem with Cannon Printers, but I'm using an HP 6500, and have been for over a year with no probelm. Now I get a print job stopped message, and when I try to restart the job, I am told a connection could not be made.
I have tried deleting and re-adding the HP - no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

OK - so the printer is a 6540, but in the print area under preferences, it calls it a 6500 - what gives?

My entire iCloud mail system is messed up. I have worked on this for days. It works sometimes after I restart my computer and then just stops for no reason. In addition when the mail stops it refuses to let me reboot my iMac. Any ideas?

I'm praying somebody here has an idea to help me. iCloud has suddenly gone nuts on my iMac. It works only when it wants to work and then stops for no reason. When it stops I am no longer able to click the mail icon and open any mail even the old stuff that was there. No changes were made to my computer. This all started out of the blue. When the mail stops working it will not close out to allow me to restart my computer. It won't even allow a forced quit. No changes were made to my machine. My iPhone still get mail but only after I click the mail icon. It does not pull mail in and show how many new emails I have like it did before. I have a me.com email if that helps. Any ideas would be truly appreciated.

HTTP SERVICE STOPS FOR NO REASON AND NO ERRORS IN LOGS WIN2K

The HTTP service stops for no reason and we have to stop and restart to unlock and web server runs again. It appears to be related to number of concurrent users but we cannot tie it down to and specfics except on our NT 4.0 system the service never stops and runs fine . We are running versions R1 patch 4 and have gone up to 5 and 7 . We are running against an 9i database and using forms and reports. We are not using the forms server in patch 4 just the HTTP service.

TV shows stopping for no reason

I have a problem with tv shows stopping for no reason on the iPod Touch. First the sound disappears, and then the show stops and I get booted back to the main menu. This has happened with four completely different tv shows. I never had this problem with the 5th gen. What is going on?

No this is different. I am not pushing the home button. I will be in the middle of watching a video, and first the audio will stop while the video continues for a few more seconds, and then I will suddenly be bounced back to the main menu. No buttons pushed. Like it's crashing or something.

Print job stops

I can print on my Epson R2400 from Photoshop when I go to External Editor, but whenever I try to print via Aperture, the print job stops.
I've been printing successfully with earlier versions of Aperture. I've reinstalled Aperture 1.1.2 and I've deleted and added the R2400.
Thanks

Print job stopped without reason

hi, i am connected to a network printer. whenever i try to print the job is stopped unexpectedly and no error message is given. It just says: "Job stopped" in the printer window and stays in the active queue. if i click "start jobs" at the top it starts again and stops again. With out reason. The printer driver are installed. The kind is NRG DSc38u PS
Hope somebody can help.
thanks

When ever I have this problem I restart the printer by unpluging it and waiting for about 30 seconds. Then if that doesnt work, go hook the printer directly up to the computer and make sure that someting is not stoped in the printer que.
I hope that that helps you.

Print Jobs Stop -- First w Panther, Now w Tiger and New Printer!

I was dealing with multiple problems, so I'm not sure where to start. I was using a G4 with Panther when, among other things, I could no longer print because anytime I sent something to the printer the job would stop. Trying to start it again didn't work. My hard drive crapped out (separate issue I now realize) and I had it replaced w/ a new hard drive installed with Tiger & also purchased a new printer. I installed the new printer (for now I have it connected directly via USB) and to my surprise and chagrin I still can't print for the same reason! The job stops immediately after I send the document to print. Trying to re-start, or deleting and printing again, etc. does nothing. I've been through all the troubleshooting tips on the support page and am at wit's end. The problem doesn't seem to be specific to an application, an OS, or the printer. The Mac guy who set up my new hard drive did save as much as possible from the old one & migrated it to the new. He must have transferred the glitch, but what could it be? Please help.

Thanks a lot Greg.
I had problems printing to shared printer which was connected to my mac downstairs from my powerbook over airport. Kept on coming up as printer stopped. I turned all off and on, reinstalled drivers, deleted printers, and nothing worked 'till I found your tip.
I love the mac community, keep up the good work.

Print Job Stopped on HP1300 using APEX

Hello,
I noticed several user have problems with their printer connected via Airport. Mine used to work fine, until I changed my internet provider two weeks ago and had to input the new details, and re started the APEX. Internet is working very well, so does ITunes wireless, just when I send a print job, it just stops. It is recognised via Bonjour, but does not responds. Printing works fine via USB. Are there any settings I overlooked?
I have an IBook bought May 2005 with Tiger from Apple Store Germany together with printer HP1300 and several Airport Express Stations.
I appreciate any help!

Hello Henry,
all Airport Stations are recognised. I just connected the printer to the station in the living room, listen to music from ITunes right now, printer is recognised connected to this Airport Station, but the print job still stops.
It is frustrating, and a hassle to connect the printer via USB each time you need to print......BUT....nothing compared to the hassle I had with "other" operation system LOL!
Thank you for your reply

HP LaserJet 5si won't print -- jobs stopped

Mac G5 OSX 10.4.x
LaserJet 5si with 2552 Jet direct card
Networked via Linksys switch
I lost my internet connection to all computers yesterday and ended up having to reset my Linksys Router. Now everything works except this printer which is connected to the router through a workgroup switch. Printer shows up in Printer list. Jobs get spooled to printer. I get a message that jobs for this printer are stopped. When I click "start" it looks like it is printing, but then shows up as "jobs stopped".
Apple Talk is active. Disk Utility did a repair disk permissions. I have taken the Jet Direct card out and reinstalled it. I have reinstalled the LaserJet drive software.
Can anyone help me???
Marjorie

I am having the same problem with my Espon Stylus CX6600, but only with certain programs. Dialatech told me to go into Page Setup and make sure where my printer was selected under "Format for." Don't know why it wouldn't work when "Any printer" was selected, but it worked great for a couple months. The problem's back now, even though my printer is selected in the "Format for" thing, but maybe this will help for you. Please post if you come up with any other solution!

HP 1505n - Print Jobs stop when sent to queue

I recently purchased an HP LaserJet 1505n for my home office. I have several Mac's all running 10.5.1 all connecting to it. Most print to it via the network (Bonjour) but I do have 1 Mac hooked up directly via USB to the printer. So, both the USB And Network Interfaces are being used on the printer (which is why I bought it).
Every now and then when I try to print, the print job just stops immediately in the queue. When I try to restart it, it stops again. Sometimes physically resetting the printer works, but rarely. I have also deleted the queues and re-added them. Nothing seems to work. It seem that Adobe Acrobat files never print, but Firefox will always. (Strange...)
I have read a few other threads on this issue and they all mention that it is a driver issue from HP. I have try to get the OpenSource drivers, but I have not found any for the HP 1505n.
Below is the /var/log/cups/error_log. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Do I just wait for an OpenSource driver or HP to update their drivers?
Thanks!

This is what I got from HP...need to grab CVs and Libraries Folder from a PowerPC mac.
and...it works!
Intel Mac fix for Office 2004
1. On a computer that can still print using Office 2004, go to HD>System>Library>Printers and control+click on Libraries and Create Archive. In the same location, control+click on the CVs folder and Create Archive. Save these Archived (zip) folders to the Desktop.
2. Copy these two Archived (zip) folders to the Intel Mac that cannot print. *note – you will need a network connection to the computer or a flash drive.
3. Make sure you quit all applications including Safari, Entourage etc.
4. Create a New Folder on the Desktop of the Intel Mac (Name this folder “Backup of Libraries and CVs”)
5. Open the Macintosh HD>System>Library folder and control+click on the Printers folder and select Get Info. Click on Name & Location and set the permissions for Everyone to Read & Write.
6. Open the Printers folder and drag the Libraries and CVs folder to the new folder you had just created to backup the old files.
7. Extract the Archived Libraries and CVs folder you have copied to the Intel Mac by double clicking on the folders.
8. Copy the extracted Libraries and CVs folders to the Printers folder (You will be asked to authenticate the copy)
9. Restart the Computer.
10. Open Disk Utility and select your Macintosh HD Volume. Select Repair Permissions.
11. Open a MS Office document and print to verify the issue is resolved.

Print Job Stopped on Xerox 7750 IP Printing but not AppleTalk

We have a bunch of Xerox 7750s setup via IPP. When we upgraded to 10.5.2 all print jobs sent to them appear in the cue as Stopped. When I re-setup some of the print cues via AppleTalk most of them work, but not all. I've tried the firewall suggestions mentioned here
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6765428#6765428
with no success. Sharing printers is out of the question. I'm not a fan of AppleTalk, but if it's the only way I guess I could give it a try.
Any suggestions on how to get my IPP to work?

Hello Henry,
all Airport Stations are recognised. I just connected the printer to the station in the living room, listen to music from ITunes right now, printer is recognised connected to this Airport Station, but the print job still stops.
