Print spooler not working since installing LinkSys WRT 160N

Since installing my WRT160N my printers have stopped working. All printer drivers have been removed including acrobat and my fax.
Even if I try reinstalling my drivers, I get the following error:
Spooler SubSystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Prior to this error my firewall was giving me constant warnings about Pure Networks Admin assistant application trying to access the same files(i.e. nmctxth.exe). Even though I allowed it still kept popping up.
I am using the online armor firewall on a Windows XP system.
I cannot access the LinkSys Advisor anymore as it will not start.
Thanks

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Installed a WRT 160N on May 10 and have not been able to print since. Wasn't sure it was the router until I dug into the event log. This message appears as a warning during the time I was installing:
Printer Driver Microsoft XPS Document Writer for Windows NT x86 Version-3 was added or updated. Files:- mxdwdrv.dll, unidrvui.dll, mxdwdui.gpd, unidrv.hlp, mxdwdui.dll, mxdwdui.ini, stddtype.gdl, stdnames.gpd, stdschem.gdl, stdschmx.gdl, unidrv.dll, unires.dll, XpsSvcs.dll.
Apparently we tried to print something a couple of days later and this error appears:
DCOM got error "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. " attempting to start the service lxcf_device with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{323CE21C-A448-40AA-BA74-7FCF1E44106F}
Any help out there? Windows says I have a spooler dll file missing and also keep getting an error message about "RPC server not available." What should I do?
thanks!

Canon Printer mx860 not working since upgrade to Yosemite, it is connected to my Mac via usb. Any suggestions? Thanks. LL

My 2009 Canon MX860 Pixma printer not working since an upgrade to Yosemite on my MAC version 10.10. It is connected by USB. Have had no previous issues with printing, scanning or faxing. When trying to print my Calendar I only get light vertical dotted lines, none horizontal, no words and vague header colors. Checked printer image on the on my MAC which shows the same problem. All of the color and black cartridges are new.
The recent upgrade to the Canon application says it is completed but it is not, image on application upgrade is a circle with an X.
Any suggestions? Could this simply be a compatibility problem? I'd sure like to keep my Canon printer.
Thanks, LL

Can you open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left sidebar. If the MX is the only printer connected to the Mac then its information will be shown in the right pane. If you have more than one printer, then a list will be shown in the top right pane. Select the MX to see its information in the bottom right pane. Can you copy this information and paste back here for me to check.
Also an FYI - this is the Mavericks forum. The Yosemite forum is here

Printer not working since installing Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion

Since updating, Epson XP-400 printer unable to print. Message says the printer is offline and the printer is not connected yet printed a test page but unable to print a Pages document. I reinstalled the printer software and checked for updated software.
I upgraded solely to avail of an app that was recommended and a novice at doing any more, so help much appreciated.

Hi Visionlike,
I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article if you are not able to print after updating OS X:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel.
Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and installyour printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Best,
Jeremy

Illustrator CS4 not working since installing Yosemite

Since installing Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, my CS4 Adobe Illustrator no longer works. The related files in the applications folder also show as being unavailable. All of the other programmes in the CS4 design suite still run without a problem. Can you please let me know how I can fix this issue. Thanks.

sorry I've not seen this question sooner - I'm here looking of answers to a recent problem with Photoshop CS4 repeatedly crashing in Yosemite - been working fine for months until this week - roll on Serif Affinity Photo!...
However. I'm no illustrator expert but I have Ai CS4 on three Macs, all running Yosemite and Ai apparently working just fine as far as I can see (I'm not a frequent user of Ai so rarely touch the surface of features but it launches, opens Ai files supplied by clients and saves my edit just fine.

Canon LBP3100B Not working since installing a wireless modem

My Mac will not print to my printer even though the printer appears in the printer list and the print queue shows a job "printing". The printer utility thinks no printer has been installed. The printer doesn't make any noise and nothing happens. I have tried resetting the printers (deleting all printers). I have reinstalled the software and printer several times, but still no joy. Canon have supplied me with a pixma ip4700 in the meantime, and that works fine. They have tried to duplicate my problem (on a Mac using my OS) without success. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I have noticed that although the first time I added the printer there was an icon at the top of the Add Printer window saying "More Printers" this doesn't appear any more.
With the CAPT driver installed, the More Printers button takes some time to appear in the bottom left corner of the Default Add Printer view.
If this More Printers button does not appear after several seconds then something may have gone wrong with the CAPT driver re-installation (assuming you did install the CAPT v3.10 driver after deleting the CAPT folder). In this case I would run the CAPT installer again.
Also I can't add via the More Printers button as when I do that the printer does not appear in the list of printers after I click on the driver that way.
Sorry, but I thought you said that the More Printers button is not appearing? If it is appearing and after you select it and then Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) from the top menu, the LBP3100 should be visible in this view if it is connected via USB to the Mac.
I can add the printer through the Print Using field by choosing Other and finding the PPD on the HD (Library - Printers - Canon - PPD's).However, although the printer then appears in the list, sending a print job doesn't wake up the printer, it just adds to the print queue.
This would be an expected result as you cannot add the CAPT printer using this method.
Also when I look up the Printer Utility under Printer Setup in the Print Queue. It says there are no registered printers and status monitor will be terminated.
Again, if the printer was added by selecting the PPD via the Other menu then the CAPT print monitor will not function correctly. So I suggest you delete this newly created printer queue and select to add the printer again by selecting More Printers when it appears. I just tested how long it takes and it was about 5 seconds before I saw More Printers. Then when I did select it I could see Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) and Canon IP (CUPS CAPT) in the top drop menu.
If you can select Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) at this point but then you don't see the LBP3100B in the bottom window then it may be worth you trying another USB cable.

HP printer error not connected Since installing Yosemite

Since installing Yosemite, when I try to print to my HP7525 I get an error message saying that my printer is not connected to the computer. Please help.

Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since installing Vista

I did a clean installation on my Vista Ready new M7. It had XP tablet to begin with and the DVD drive worked fine. Indeed I used it to install Vista (Home Premium).
Now it does not work at all. It spins but does not read. Device Manager tells me device cannot start. Tried to update driver and it told me that it has the most uptodate driver.
Downloaded all the drivers from Tosh download centre for Vista upgrade of M7 (which got bluetooth, screen rotation etc to work fine). But none of the downloads seemed to be a driver for the DVD-Ram drive. Can not find a driver anywhere else (including Panasonic site).
DVD drive is Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-841s
Any suggestions?

Hi
On the Toshiba driver page you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
Did you try to install the XP DVD-RAM driver from the Toshiba page on the Vista OS?
Maybe it will works
But listen the CD/DVD drive uses the common Microsoft drivers which are included into Vista or XP.
Therefore an additional driver should be not needed!
One additional proposal;
Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager and reboot the notebook.
After new reboot the OS should install the drive again and should renew the software.
Other hint:
- Start the registry
- Choose the registry key;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters and LowerFilters then click Delete.
- and restart the notebook

My Font Book is not working since installing Yosemite

I've got a Mac Pro (Early 2008). Since installing Yosemite my Font Book refuses to launch. Can anyone help?

I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail.
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue in case there were things you missed.
I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....
I'm a loyal Chevy car owner and I am treated no differently than a first time Chevy owner. Apple is just like any other huge corporation, they treat all their customers the same. Doesn't matter if you're loyal or not.

Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated. You are seriously outdated for Snow Leopard.

Epson Workforce 30 Printer doesn't work since installing 10.6.1

After installing Snow Leopard, the window showing current printer activity indicated that I needed to visit the manufacturer's website to download new drivers in the main dialogue box. I did this and followed all installation instructions given on Epson's site. Now when I try to print, it shows a smaller error message in line with the job currently shown as printing. I tried going into the printer setup> select driver window. But the most recent version I had downloaded wasn't included in the list.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Apple just released a new package of Epson printer drivers. Look for them at support.apple.com/downloads/.
If your printer is not supported in the above and Epson does not have Snow Leopard compatible drivers for your printer yet, then you may be SOL for the time being. In this case contact Epson to see when then expect to have a compatible driver for your printer.

My Norton Identity Safe does not work since installing FF4.0.1

After installing FF4.0.1 my Norton Identity Safe does not work. Also, I have been getting a few pop-up windows which my Norton would normally have blocked. Norton is not showing any issues. FF is set to block Pop ups.

Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1.
