Printer - Driver only available in .deb.sh

Hi,
So my girlfriend has a Lexmark S605 and it seems Lexmark only offers the drivers as a .deb.sh package.
Now how do I get this thing to work at all and maybe even via wlan as it is spposed to?
deb2targz doesnt do the trick

that was pretty much the first thing I tried and it fails with this in the console:
tar fail #1
ERROR...multiple or missing tar.gz file(s).
and the following in the installerscripts gui-window:
Extracting file: dxdbuspolicy.te
Extracting file: jre-6u12-linux-i586.bin
Extracting file: lexmark-inkjet-09-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb
Extracting file: dxlpia.sh
Extracting file: launcher_87b076ac_5714_4095_b8ae_c17133910650
Extracting file: dxnet.te
Extracting file: EU_Waste_Electronic_Information.pdf
=============================
Execute: sleep 3

Mac osx 10.8.1 update printer driver not available

We are getting a message asking to update the printer (HP Laserjet 1320). If we accept it searches for the update and returns the message "...unavailable".
OK, so how do stop that message window from popping up?

Normally I do not shut down my iMac - rather I just let it sleep as per System Preferences > Energy Saver settings. This morning I did a complete shut down and then restarted and the problem has gone away again. Then I did a bunch of testing by launching all the usual applications I might have run since updating to 10.8.2 to see if one of these triggers the problem. After each new application launch I turned on the printer to see if the problem would occur (and then shut down the printer before the next application launch.) So far I haven't found what triggers this but once triggered it seems to then occur with each printer start (until I shut down the iMac again I guess.) I will have to keep a close watch on what I launch for a while to see what I have missed.

Print driver not available

I am trying to set up an HP Envy 5646 printer for the first time (in the UK). I am receiving the following message on the hp support page:"We were unable to find any drivers for your product. Drivers may be in development so please check back at a later date ....." When I try to search through hpdriver.us (I cannot find a UK equivalent), I am taken to a Google page and invited to download something that appears to have nothing to do with HP. What am I supposed to do to connect my macbook to my new printer?

From what I see there is none for your printer in Mac....Did you check this before hand before buying the printer.

Printer driver for workforce 645 was updated yesterday and printer no longer works, driver is no longer available from apple or epson.l

When i go to the epson website it says the printer driver is available from apple. When i go to the printer selection it sees the printer but says that apple has no drivers for this printer. In the updates section of the app store it shows that the printer driver was update yesterday.

If you're sure you tried all of these steps and the issue persists, contact Apple technical support

Looking for HP Basic Driver only for hp 2610 all-in-one printer

I have windows 7( Just recently installed) and a HP 2610 all-in-one printer.
I just wanted to download the printer driver only and not the HP Photosmart and office software Suite.
This webside say the printer driver only is availble as a separate download named "HP Deskjet Basic Driver"
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-76831-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
But I cannot locate the webside for the Basic driver only for Windows 7 OS. Can somebody locate the web address of "HP Deskjet Basic Driver" for me please.
Regards
Tech

I just tried using Notepad as you suggested and had the same result. Paper feeds in stops at proper place and error message "out of paper"
I just put in two new HP ink cartridges because the other two were low and I was told that this might be the problem.
I seem to remember that the HP 2610 shows 2 "ink icons" in the lower left corner. One for black and one for color. The ink icons would change from completly full to just an outline as the amount of ink went down. Currently the black ink icon is missing
This is a very frustrating problem because the printer works great after doing a few steps to get around the problem. The fact that the problem reoccurs any time anything is changed is the major problem
Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the Windows 7 virtual machine so I could work with Windows XP programs. This may just be a coincidence because the printer still has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer even being on.
I want to thank you for all of your efforts. Perhaps this is a unique problem that will never be solved and it is best to take my losses and buy a new printer. As a last chance, if possible, could you refer my post to someone who is an expert with the HP 2610 printer.

X86 Generic/Text Only Printer Driver

Ive got a HP Thin Client that I need to setup a Epson TM88 Receipt printer on.
The issue is the software will only recognise this printer if its setup with the Generic/Text Only Windows Printer Driver which HP decided not to include in the standard image for the device.
Its running Windows 7 Embedded 32Bit.
Now ive looked online and seen heaps of people saying just install on a 32bit pc and then share it to get the driver. trouble is every other pc and server is 64bit and I cant do that.
even my home pc's are 64 bit so no option there.
Does anyone know if there is a download available anywhere online for the .inf file to make this work?
Alternatively can anyone specify the location and file name for the driver file so I can at least know where to look if I can find someone who has Win7 x86 installed?

In Internet Explorer go to
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx The Update Catalog will not work in any other browser.
Type Generic/Text Only in the Search box in the upper right and click on Search.
Results should be:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=Generic%2FText%20Only
The second listing with only Windows 8,Windows 8.1 Drivers is the x86 driver. Although it states Windows 8 the version is 6.1.7600.16385 and dated 6/21/2006.

Acrobat 6.0 and Windows 7 - is there a PDF printer driver available?

Hi,
I have been using Acrobat 6.0 with Windows XP fine. However, I just got a new computer that has Windows 7.
I installed Acrobat 6.0 but cannot now convert any documents to PDF on this new computer. I get this error--
"The PDF maker cannot find the Adobe PDF printer driver and to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 6.0"
However, reinstalling Acrobat 6.0 does not help, nor does the repair feature.
Is There a patch for this product? Can I download a driver for the PDF printer so that it is compatible with Windows 7?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have Acrobat 6 as well and just upgraded to windows 7. Can't afford Acrobat Version 9 either. From what I understand, only Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL, ULTIMATE or ENTERPRISE editions can you run most Windows XP productivity programs in Windows XP Mode(separate download). At least that's what I read here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-modeI wonder if that will help you. I unfortunately only have STARTER edition.
*The following text is copied and pasted from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode
Windows 7 Feature has a Windows XP Mode
It's the best of both worlds: The new Windows XP Mode lets you run older Windows XP business software right on your Windows 7 desktop.
Designed primarily with small- and medium-sized businesses in mind, Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. Windows XPMode also requires virtualization software such as WindowsVirtual PC. Both are available free on the Microsoft website.
To download Windows XP Mode or learn about its system requirements, visit the Windows Virtual PCwebsite.
Windows XP Mode, available for the Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7, helps prevent older business programs from becoming obsolete.

Redirected printers using Remote Desktop Easy Print driver work only once during session

Hello all
We are running Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services Sessions hosts with printer redirection allowed using only the Easy Print Driver, we have no other drivers installed on the servers. All client printers are redirected and can print fine, but
only once per session! We have tested with several different client printers and they all work a single time in each session. After that the user needs to log off and then back on again to be able to print once again, but only once. Needless to say, our users
are annoyed. If I look at the c:\windows\system32\spool\printers folder while jobs are printing, but failing, I can see the spool files appearing and disappearing as jobs are spooled. No errors in the event logs accompany the behaviour. Our clients are running
Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. All exhibit the same problem. The error looks a little like what is described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2925429
While similar, this problem describes a scenario where Easy Print is not used, but XPS is, and since Easy Print is based on XPS and the behaviour is very similar, I am tempted to make a connection.
I have checked all the usual stuff with permissions etc, and no manufacturer provided drivers are present. The problem appears on newly installed systems as well as one that have been running for some time. Restarting the spooler services does not resolve
the problem. Actually I do not think it is related to the spooler service or driver framework at all, but rather is an Easy Print driver issue that is occurring much later in the process, if not I would see some errors in the logs and no jobs would print at
all.
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
Thanks
Morgan

Hi Morgan,
Based from your description, users can only print once during single RDP session, I suggest you check if this issue also happens locally.
In addition, after the first print attempt, does any other issue exist on the RDP session?
Is the server fully patched? If there are any available driver updates, please also apply them. If there are any third party software installed, try disable/uninstall them to see if the issue persists.
You can also enable print auditing to get more detailed information about this issue.

How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

Hi All,
In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
to the Windows 2003 x32 server, it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

Printer (Driver) issue only after reinstalling 10.6.8

For some reason since I reinstalled my mac os (I transferred everything from time machine and did the updates, including a printer driver update) after my printer has been idle, it can't be found by my computer. In theory there's nothing wrong with my wireless router, as everything possible with that has been tried and failed to resolve the issue. When I go into the console logs, I get these errors, always together, every ten seconds or so:
9/12/11 5:27:05 PM          com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[92]          (com.hp.devicemonitor[2063]) posix_spawn("/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor", ...): No such file or directory
9/12/11 5:27:05 PM          com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[92]          (com.hp.devicemonitor[2063]) Exited with exit code: 1
9/12/11 5:27:05 PM          com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[92]          (com.hp.devicemonitor) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
If I put my computer to sleep with a print job in the que, when the computer wakes up it will connect, but will then stop immediately after that transfer, where if I try to print something, it says the printer is offline and can't find the printer. The same is true with the connecting if I turn off the printer and turn it back on - whatever's in the que will print. But once it goes idle for more than a few seconds, I'm screwed. I'm at my wits end with this. I've called Belkin (maker of my router), HP, maker of my printer (it's an HP CP1525NW that's having the issue), etc. and no resolution. Also, when my computer tells me that it can't find the printer, it has no trouble connecting to the internet as I can find the printer if I open it's IP address in safari or firefox, and play on farmtown in FB all I want, but the print que/utility will NOT find the printer. Please help me. Thank you in advance if your advice is helpful/almost helpful.
Another thing I found was this in my console: 9/12/11 10:58:50 AM          mDNSResponder[18]          Client application bug: DNSServiceResolve(HP\032LaserJet\032CP1525nw\032(843086)._ipp._tcp.local.) active for over two minutes. This places considerable burden on the network.
I'm confused as to whether this means anything. The HP laserjet cp1525nw (843086) is what my computer calls my printer when it's wireless; the wired (usb) one doesn't have the (843086) after it.
And one other thing - if I search this very same error on google, the only thing that will come up is someone having trouble with a brand new MBP with the screen flickering and the graphics device switching. For whatever reason when the person got rid of HP from their user logs or something the flicker issue went away but they started seeing this very same series of errors. My screen is fine except for the fact that sometimes when it comes out of sleep the screen will go black. I've had that problem for a long time, it doesn't happen very often (thank God), and while this has been going on (before the reinstall), I had NO trouble with my printer. Nothing seems to make sense.

One other thing I forgot to mention. If I hook the printer up using a usb cable, it prints fine without issues.

Have MBP with OSX10.9- trying to connect HP Laserjet P1102w error msg on add printer says driver not available from apple - workarounds?

Trying to connect a new HP Laserjet P1102w printer via USB to a MBP running OSX 10.p and fully up to date. Problems getting the correct driver - does it exist and what are the workarounds?
Many thanks

Lots of information on the HP web site for this printer with Mavericks, a driver is available for 10.9. Try this web page and go from there.

I had to reformat my OSX 10.5.8 and I can't restore my emails from my time machine backup from an external hard drive - only the latest (post backup) time machine back ups are available to restore. Please can any help? I can find the mail folder in my libraries, but the Restore Button is grayed out

OSX treats the reformatted drive as a different one; it's the same as replacing it, and the old one is no longer connected.
See #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting to see and restore from the "old" drive.
And, you may not want to restore via the Finder; see the blue box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
