Print Utility Missing

Hi, I've been having problems with my HPLaserJet 4050N and I went to use PrintUtility in the Utilities Apps Folder and it is AWOL and I haven't a CLUE how...I saw on here where someone answered this exact question at almost this time last year and had posted on his website the Print Utility App in a zip, Arthur Joyce, i think it was, however that's not there anymore...anyone have any idea how to either get it off of Pacifist or anywhere else??
Thanks

Restoring Lost OS X Files
If you erase or otherwise "lose" an OS X system application or utility (such as Mail or Disk Utility, for example) you can restore them without having to reinstall OS X.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Read the documentation. Use Pacifist to extract a fresh copy of the missing application from the file archives on your OS X Installer disc. The file archives are usually found on the installer disc in the /System/Installations/ folder.
After restoring the application you need to reinstall the OS X Combo Updater for the version of OS X you currently have installed. This assures the new copy of the application is updated to the current version.
Lastly, it's a good idea to repair permissions.

Canon iP4500 Printer Utility missing/ non-functional

I own a G5 iMac & MB Pro. Ever since I installed Time Capsule, I cannot access the Canon iP4500 *Printer Utility.* It seems to be missing or has become non-functional. I should note that this printer is plugged into Time Capsule. Any ideas as to what has happened to the utility?

To my knowledge, the utilities from the printer manufacturers have only worked if the printer is connected to the computer; you could ask Canon, but I expect they'll say that the utility wasn't designed for this type of connection.
Hope this helps.

Epson Print Utility missing

I insatlled the latest Guten driver so I could use the automatic paper cutter. I did not realize I would loss the support for the utilities. Which I find utterly stupid. Why would they take that away?? Who wants a printer that they are unable to clean the heads on or check your ink levels???
I did a search and see that I have the Epson Print Utiliy folder in a previous sytem. Is this something I can use? I tried to copy it and drag it into the Libaray/Printer folder it did not work. How do I get it into the application folder where it belongs?
If I can use Pacifist to do this can someone instruct me on how to do that??
Thanks for any help on this.

I did the custom install, restarted and opened print utilities and it sat their scanning for a printer (yes the printer is on)??? does this utility have to run with a specific driver?
Did you add a printer using the Epson drivers? You may not want to use that printer to print, but it might be necessary to have a print queue with the Epson drivers established before the Utility will recognize it.
I would try the Gutenprint Utility but I am pretty sure it does not support the Epson Stylus Photo 2200.
Is there a basis for that statement? There are some Epson printers that do not work with the Gutenprint Epson Inkjet Printer Utility. Most will work, however.

The Printer Utility for my Epson CX 5000 is missing

I hope there is help for me here. I have 2 software updates for my Epson CX5000 all-in-one printer listed in the Software update. The Printer Utility file/folder/software is missing. I have done multiple searches with no success in finding it in my iMac with the newly upgraded OSX Mavericks. It is so difficult to get the software for this printer. Unable to get it from the Epson site. Can get only from Mac Software update. Is there a way to remove the software updates which are the same and start anew? Updates are dated June 19th.

I don't recall where I found this info but here is what I did. It is so simple that I wish I had found it several weeks ago. I removed all printers then rebooted.I don't remember if I turned printer off and/or unplugged it from USB on machine or not. It was on and connected to machine before I restarted. Mac OS recognized printer and the utility and what I needed was all there. I really would like the most current Utility for my Printer but I have the basics now so that makes me happy.
Thank you greg for your help. As I think back I believe I got this info from the Epson site. Here is the link to what I did.

Print Center / Printer Setup Utility missing

My refurb iMac had its entire logic board replaced several weeks ago. Since then I have not been able to use my Epson Stylus Photo R280 printer. Turns out that somehow my utilities called Print Center and also Printer Setup Utility have disappeared from my computer. Because it is a holiday, I am unable to to contact Apple Care by phone. I tried to locate a place on my Leopard install disk where it lists zillions of single items which I could chose to install, but can not find it. I am hoping that someone in here can direct me where to look. My Brother HL 2140 is working fine. I'm stumped.

Got a reply from Epson. Even though I originally told them the printer was hooked up to a wireless Airport Extreme Base Station, they seemed to ignore that fact. But, finally they came up with this excuse:
Response (Stephan R) 08/21/2008 11:19 AM
The Epson Status Monitor requires constant bidirectional communication with the Host for it to function properly. The Airport Extreme only allows a one way communication, so when the Epson Status Monitor tries to update the Host with the proper ink levels you will receive a communication error.
So, I guess that you can't use the print utility from a wireless connection, I hooked the printer to one of my Macs and added the printer to the Utility there. The utility works there, but I have to reconnect the printer to the Airport Extreme and visa versa to make they whole thing functional. Oh, well.

Macbook X 10.6.8. Epson SX218 failed to print every fifth line, but only in MS Office documents. I updated Office. Now that line is slightly blurred as though the printer had missed out a pass.

I am helping a disabled person with a printing problem involving a Macbook, an Epson SX218, and MS Office for Macs. The Macbook had been recently updated to OS X 10.6.8, and the printer driver reinstalled, by an Apple store. She complained the printer failed to print about every fifth line. It turned out there was no problem at all with printing web pages and emails, but only with Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). I updated
Office. Later all lines were printed, but imperfectly with a bit missing from bottom of every fifth line, as though the printer had missed out a pass, so I am not sure the Office update is what made the difference. I am not at all sure whether this problem arises from the Mac or the printer or Office.

It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
If the problem persits, please report back here.

Adobe Color Printer Utility and PS CS6

When attempting to print without Color Management in PS CS6 (in the Color Handling section of the Photoshop CS6 Print dialog box) I get a pop-up error message that says I must use the Adobe Color Printer Utility. It refers me to this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html
Yet the page says nothing about CS6, only CS5.
What gives? Is the Utility for CS6?
I want to use ICC profiles when printing but the Utility doesn't have any options for such.

No, it isn't required.
But if you are trying to print calibration targets (aka "no color management"), then you'll need it.
Why is that not in Photoshop? Because the OS vendors keep changing the print APIs and making "no color management" more difficult to implement.

Adobe Color Printer Utility and PSCC2014 - why is it required??

Adobe Color Printer Utility was required in CS5 when one needed to print with No Color Management.
Was this not fixed in PSCC/PSCC2014? When I have Color Handling set to Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Color Management section just about the Color Handling Prompt, a yellow exclamation mark appears and the hypertext, "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management."
Clicking this link sends me to this webpage:
No Color Management option missing | Printing | Photoshop CS5<------
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html
Is the Adobe Color Printer Utility compatible with/required in PSCC2014?

No, it isn't required.
But if you are trying to print calibration targets (aka "no color management"), then you'll need it.
Why is that not in Photoshop? Because the OS vendors keep changing the print APIs and making "no color management" more difficult to implement.

PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II Print Utility Problem

I recently obtained a second hand model of the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II. It did not come with the set up software so I just downloaded the Print Driver from Canon's website.
Everything is working fine except that when I click on the print utility button the printer does not show up in the list and neither does any of the calibration options.
Is there something I'm missing? The printer is printing it's just not matching the colors of my photos and I'm assuming it's because I have to calibrate the printer.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Post on the Canon web site.

Adobe colour print utility patch

Why am I unable tp down load the adobe colour print utility patch. I have followed the instructions, and all goes well until I run the downloaded application. The window that opens does not have the required TIFF file.

Thanks very much for your prompt reply.
I have done as you
suggested, but I am no further forward. No TIFF files appears in the
window that opens when I run the adobe colour printer utility
application. The only "progress" I have made is that when I checked for
compatibility I get the message that the application is not compatible.
I downloaded the utility from
helpx.ADOBE.com/photoshop/kb/no-COLOR-management-option-missing.html.
I WOULD BE PLEASED TO HAVE ANY FURTHER HELP THAT CAN BE OFFERED
REGARDS

Adobe Color Print Utility Issues

I am on a Mac 10.8.5 and when I open the Print>File dialog box of the Adobe Color Print Utility there is no option to set the colour management to off. I need this as I'm using Photoshop CC which doesn't have that option anymore. There are other options such *** paper handling or paper feed but not the colour management option or options to set the paper type. Has anyone got any ideas on this. I am also considering downloading CS2 as a work-around, does this work with Mac 10.8.5?

Have you checked out this link? https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html
Your suggestion about using CS2 won't work since this was written in Power PC code.
The last version of Mac OSX that has Rosetta which allows running Power PC apps on an Intel Mac was Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8, so OSX 10.8.5 wont work for CS2
An excerpt:
Turn off Color Management:
Mac OS
Expand the Print dialog box by clicking the arrow next to the Printer pop-up menu.
Use the pop-up menu in the middle of the dialog box to locate the options for paper type and color management. The menu choices and locations for these options change depending on your printer driver.
Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling.
Set Color Management to Off. Some printer drivers turn off Color Management automatically.
Windows
In the Print dialog box, select your target printer and click Properties.
Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling.
Set Color Management to Off.
Note: In some printer drivers, select Advanced or Custom to locate these options.

Problem with HP Printer Utility and Mac OSX 10.5.4

I have a problem with HP printer Utility. When a standard user adds a new paper profile HP Printer Utility asks to type an administrator's name and password to allow HP printer Utility to make changes. Is it possible to avoid this? Otherwise I have to give admin rights to every user because they have to be able to add new papers. HP printer Utility sharing and permisssions are set to read and write to everyone.

How do I access Epson's print utility interface from Mountain Lion

How do I run a "print utility" on my Epson Stylus C120 and R1800 printers (older Epson models) with the new Mountain Lion operating system? Since I updated to Mountain Lion, I can no longer access functions like head cleaning/aligning or ink status.
Epson hasn't created updated "drivers" for these printer models and Apple's built-in dialog box for print set-up and other settings don't provide access to printer maintenance functions.
I can't use my printers until this problem is solved. HELP!!!

scraps,
I successfully accessed all the utility functions and print settings of my Epson printers through the new Mountain Lion interface AFTER I first wiped out all my old Epson drivers (listed under "print and scan" in system preferences). Once those old drivers are deleted, plug in your printers (with the power on) and check for a software update on your computer. If the new software doesn't appear, turn your printer on and off while you check again. You should be able to regain all the functions of you printer with the updated drivers. For more detailed step by step instructions on uninstalling and updating your drivers, you can contact Epson--I didn't keep the instructions they e-mailed me or I'd pass them on to you. This is a frustrating prob but it can be solved. I hope you are up and running quickly!
