Printer busy - Will retry in 10 seconds

Hi,
I am on a IMac Intel that runs both Windows and OSX. When I am logged onto Windows I can print fine. I am trying to set up the printer in OSX and am having difficulty. We have a Konica Minolta printer and an EFI Fiery RIP. I've just installed the correct driver for the Fiery. I was getting the error "Remote host did not accept data file (32)". I then deleted the printer and set it up again as IPP and now I get the error "Printer is busy, will retry in 10 seconds" and then nothing happens. What am I missing here?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Mina

Hi Mina,
The print job stopping can be caused by the 'fierycupsfilter' not being present. If the ppd for the Fiery was copied into the Mac, rather than the driver installation being used to install the printer, then some components can be missing and this can cause the spooler to stop. If you open Console (Applications > Utilities), expand /var/log then expand cups and then click on error_log, you will see the error why the job stopped and what process (PID) was at fault. If it does say it was the fierycupsfilter then the easy fix is to run the Fiery driver setup again. If the log doesn't make much sense then copy from the error back about 10 entries and post it back here.
As for the Fiery config page, it all depends on the model. For the ones that are external (like a PC that sits on the floor) there are buttons on the front panel. Pressing one of them you will give a print pages option, under this you have the config page. If it is a Fiery that sits on the back of the Konica, then you may have to use the copiers touch panel to access the setup menu.
Note that if someone has Command Workstation running (and you can get it for the Mac also) then the option to print the config page is available from here.
Regards,
Paul

Printing problems - Network host is busy, will retry in 30 seconds . . .

Configuration: 3 machines on the network
1. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (wired connection)
2. Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) server on IA64 with CUPS 1.4.6 (machine is called tusko)
3. MacBookPro with Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (wireless connection)
4. The server has a fixed IP address 192.168.1.10, the iMac is 192.168.1.12 (static also)
5. The MacBookPro is getting an IP address from the DHCP server in the router (Linksys e4200)
6. I can ping any machine from any other machine.
Procedure:
1. I set up a HP LaserJet 1012 on the Linux box using the CUPS GUI (http://localhost:631/)
2. CUPS shows the print queue as "idle, Accepting jobs, Shared, Server Default), I can print a test page properly from the server
3. The printer shows correctly as "HP LaserJet 1012 @ tusko" on both macs in System Preferences - Print & Fax
4. If I print a file to this printer from either Mac, I see "Network host 'tusko.local' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds . . ." this message repeats until I finally kill the print job
Since this is an all-Apple setup (CUPS being out of Apple), the solution is going to be something very basic that I am doing wrong (btw everything IS powered up) -- question is WHAT?!
I also tried connecting the printer directly to a USB port on the iMac, sharing it, and printing to the shared printer with the MacBookPro - same problem.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Greg:
Thanks for the response.
Sorry, I'm using IPP. As an experiment, I printed a test page from Firefox running locally on the server, and that prints fine. So I have pointed CUPS at the right printer driver.
The other thing I've tried is to reset the printing system on the iMac by control-clicking in the area below the listed printer in the Print & Fax dialog and saying yes to "are you sure" when it warns about resetting the printing system. That leaves a blank pane. Then I started Word,
and invoked print. It came up with no printer selected, but offered a choice of the HP. When I select that, I see messages about gathering printer info (I expect that's Bonjour doing its thing), and the printer re-appears in the Print and Fax pane. When I "Print", I'm back to the usual problem.
Do you think I have something set incorrectly in the router?
Thanks.

Network host is busy; will retry in 10 seconds..

tearing my hair out... I am operating an Imac 10.5.8 leopard and I have the following problem. Firstly I have 3 printers connected in my small business. 1 is an HP photosmart via USB straight into the Imac (no problems). The other 2 - an EFI Fiery which in turn operates a Olivetti MF450 and a Xerox Work Centre 7435 both connect to my router. I get the following message in the print queue when trying to print to the Fiery: Network 192.168.1.121 host is busy; will retry in 10 seconds.. and from the Xerox the printer queue pauses each time I push print. I have spent all day trying to sort this, with every combination in LPD and IPP and still no success. I am still fairly new to Macs. I have a PC also networked to these printers and they print from the PC no problem.

Sure I can do this but as I have 5 other pc's connected via the network to our HP printer and they all work fine so it seems like a Mac issue. Also since I have seen a number of issues on this site as well as on others regarding this particular msg and problem.
I can print with my USB cord, I can ping my router, my mac can see the printer (as it tells me what printer it is) so I rather think its a mac related issue. I will try powering down my router and try again.

HT1218 What causes error "Network Host 192.16x.0.1 is busy. Will retry in 30 seconds."

Wireless Printer error shows network host as busy. Cannot reconfigure to re-connect. It was printing ok. Then I tried to scan a doc and then it wouldn't print again. I have internet access. Receive email, etc. Tried reinstalling the printer software several times. Printer says it has successfully completed connection to the Router. But I continue to get the error "Network Host is busy. Will retry in 30 seconds." And it never prints. Also, printer config option is greyed out.
1. What root cause generates that error message?
2. What settings should I reconfigure?
3. How do I re-configure settings?
I am not a techie...a busy frustrated Grandma at home. Need step by step, just to get to the right menu.
Thanks for help.

Unable to connect to printer will retry in 30 seconds...

I have upgraded to 10.6 and now can't print using our normal ethernet network, or print a pdf file.
In System Preference - Print & Fax, I have set up the 2 printers I use plus plus PDF 8.0 and 9.0.
I do have the latest drivers for these and the printers are seen as Bonjour printers.
But every time I go to print I get the following message "unable to connect to printer will retry in 30 seconds...", and if I try to print a pdf it looks like it is printing but no pdf is produced and no error message.
Also as on optionI have also set one of the printers up using the IP address, so it clearly sees the printer.
I have been able to use one of the printers but set up as a USB connection but I don't want this as a permanent solution.

When you go back to 10.5, the obvious is to back all work just in case.
So when I put my 10.5 OS CD in I selected the option that installs with the option of a "previous systems" folder as you will need to hook out various bits from it.
I had a few problems with Adobe applications not loading properly but was sorted buy searching the problems on the internet. Plus a few other niggles again sorted via the net.
If you are not overly confident of sorting problems I would not do it.
It took me a couple of hours to get back to where I wanted to be after I reinstalled 10.5.

My Mac is suddenly saying "Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...".

Though my printer (which I've only had for 2 weeks, so this doesn't make me feel too good about my purchase that I'm already having problems) says it's connected to my wireless and my wireless is working for my computer, or I wouldn't be able to type this, I'm getting the message "Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds..."
Why is this happening? Anybody. . . ???
Help is much appreciated!

How to resolve "network host busy; will retry" message?

There was a thread on this question about a year ago but it didn't look like it was clearly resolved and I am running into the situation...
Prior to yesterday, my configuration was as follows: an iMac and a Windows laptop connected to a wireless network via an Airport Extreme Base Station; connected to the Extreme Base Station is a Brother printer.
Yesterday, I extended the wireless network with an Airport Express.
Now, I can still print on the Brother printer via the Windows laptop, which is located close to the Airport Express. However, I can no longer print from the iMac, which is located very close to the Extreme Base Station. Whenever I try printing, I get a message stating that the network host is busy and it will retry in 30 seconds.
Has anybody been able to resolve this issue?

I incorrectly set up the printer to use IPP , rather than LPD.

"Network host is busy, will try in 15 seconds..."

A user that I support has a MacBook Pro 15" running 10.5.8. He is on a LAN in a small office that has two ethernet networked printers and he has been able to print to both of them since January. He recently was in another office in Colorado where he forgot and tried to print to one of the printers but of course it didn't work because it wasn't on that office' LAN.
Now back at his local office when he tries to print, the printer looks like it is online and ready (shown in the Print&Fax Preference page as being Idle, no jobs queued) but when he prints he gets the warning message "“Network host is busy, will try in 15 seconds...”. He is on the wired LAN, not wireless. Windows PCs in the same office can print to the printer without a problem.
I remote connected to his MBP and deleted the printer both manually and by resetting the printing system. I added the printer back as it is detected by Bonjour but still get the error. I deleted it again and tried adding by using its IP address and specifying the CUPS driver, leaving the queue name blank (this is btw a Brother 4070CDW laser). Still get the error.
The other printer I added back by using it's IP address and CUPS driver. That one (a Brother DCP8045D) now works for printing.
I used http://localhost:631 to access the CUPS Administration pages but didn't see anything that indicated what might be the problem.
I'm wondering if this is some left over cache problem from when he was traveling or a firewall issue?
Any help is welcome.

Hello Larry,
Generally the 'network busy' message generally indicates that the selected printer port is not available. As to why this would be happening when selecting the Bonjour advertised printer, I am not sure. But I would try pinging the printer to ensure you have a connection to the Brother. If that is okay then I would add the printer queue again, but this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket (which is the same as Port 9100 printing which Windows will often default to and since they are printing it is worth setting the Mac the same way).

IPP Printer "printer is busy will retry" message

I set up a Konica/Minolta Magicolor 7300 via IPP on my Macbook Pro using Leopard. I get a "busy will rety" message. I am using the manufacturer's PPD. This configuration worked with Tiger. I can see the exact level of each toner cartridge in the print menu on my Mac, so there's some communication going on. I just can't print -- I get this busy message. Any ideas?
Thanks,
R

Hello,
It was set up manually using IPP.
Name shows the IP address
Host Name says local host
Driver Version says 1.1.6
URL says ipp://xxx.xx.xxx.xx
Thanks for any help.

There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents. Error message in PhotoShop CC

Printing from PS CC worked fine today. I made no changes to preferences. In between working with 2 projects, the first one printed fine, the second gave me this Error Message.
There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
Now I've checked for updates for my printer, reset my printer, reset PS CC preferences, picked my printer as Default and Last Used, and rebooted. I've followed all the recommended fixes for this issue I could find here and on the internet. I can print fine from any other program. Alas, the error message keeps popping up and I can't print.

Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before? If so, check your connections.

Will this SB1 reporting and printing forum will override the B1 forum ?

Hi All,
Will this SB1 reporting and printing forum will override the B1 forum ? If not, it means that the B1 will be purely the application or functional such as query FMS, store procedure or any work around.
Rgds,

Hello Jimmy,
There is today a demand for a forum relating to printing and reporting for SAP Business One. We have taken the strategy to go for functional forums like this. This forum will in no way replace the main Business One forum, it is intended to compliment it. As we move further into the forums and as we reach ceilings in forums we will break them down into further functional forums such as this. There is a lot of threads relating to printing and reporting and Crystal Reports so we created this thread. I know you are a large contributor and hope that you can share your knowledge to these new forums.

Is there a printer that will print Continuous Paper

Does HP offer a printer that will print continuous paper for our business? I am looking for something under $1,000.

I don't think that HP offers any small printers that print on continous stationery, although they do sell a number of plotter printers (but these may be much too slow for what you require?).
Other companies (e.g. http://www.psi-laserdrucker.de/?lang=en&cat=1&PHPSESSID=26a30a94d457d0ac2ffa3bee4a884b5b ) do sell laser printers that print on fanfold continous stationery, although they may not be within your $1000 budget.

Cancelled print but will not cancel and comes back on to print same job

cancelled print but will not cancel and comes back on to print same job on on hp deskjet all in one

Hi,
From the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and select Sevices. Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it and select Properties then click on the Stop button. Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder - You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Restart the computer and you should find the job has been removed.

DP-K
