Printer Driver wont work after upgrade to 10.6

I just updated my OS to 10.6.8 (from 10.5x), and my printer driver won't work right. I have a Samsung ML-3051ND. I wasn't able to make double-sided copies, so i downloaded and installed the latest version (supposedly 10.6 friendly) from the Samsung website. Now, whenever I try to print I get an error message saying my printer driver isn't installed correctly, please try again. I did reinstall, following the directions from the Samsung website. Still the same error message. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

OK, I found an answer that works on the MacRumors forum.
In system pref>printer & faxes> on the left side, you should have a list of printers. You need to right click in the white box andreset printing system. This deletes all the printers. Then add theprinter. It worked like a champ after that.

Fix acrobat 10.1.9 - print driver wont funtion after update

After the 10.1.9 update in acrobat X. I can no longer print to teh print driver from other applications. It goes to print and then fails with error message in printer que.
I've tried to reload update but no change. What to do?

Anoop
The error message was in the printer que and would just state " Error printing" under status.
I think I have fixed it for now. I deleted the adobe printer listed another as my default and re ran the update. This created a new printer and I changed it back to my default printer and it has worked a couple of times so far. We'll see how long it lasts.
This is not the first time I've had an issue like this. The adobe printer has failed several times on me in the past, mostly only failing on occasion until it gets worse to the point of not working. It's frustratng to print something and have nothing happen or maybe it will. I'm wondering now if it has been becuase of an update. Every once in a while my computer will quit printing to the adobe printer and I have to go through a blind man's redo this change that repair until it starts working again for some reason. Mostly in the past I have been able to delete and recreate the printer to get it working again. This time it wouldn't work even after fixing the update, reloading the update, re-running the update. The thing I changed when it did work was to delete the printer and list another printer as my default. When I reran the update it created a new printer that worked??????????
So far - you are the only help I have found with this issue. I and our IT guy have spent alot of time looking for something on this issue and find nothing. If you have any light to shed on this I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Printer won't work after upgrade

Hi. I have an HP Deskjet 460 portable printer. I have upgraded to Lion and now the printer is not recognised. When I inserted the original installation CD, it stated that Power PC applications are no longer supported. Any way I can get this printer to work with my iMac and Lion? Simple language explanation if there is one please. Thank you.

The simple answer is that the printer drivers (or the intaller for them) won't run on Lion.
You might be able to find a generic printer driver that will still allow you to print, but your best bet is to query the HP forums, where I'm sure if a workaround for Deskjets has been found, you'll find it there.

Dvd drive not working after upgrade to osx10.9

Since my Macbook upgraded to 10.9 the DVD drive no longer works.
Putting in either a pre-recorded disc or a blank to burn results in the disc being ejected after spinning for a few seconds.
The SD card reader also stopped working but I was able to correct that problem.

Same problem here on a mid-2010 21.5" iMac. Will read CDs and 1 out of 100 DVDs (1 kids' DVD, weird) but generally nothing in DVD format.
I tried all the solves listed (change prefs, reset EMC and both PRAMs, boot from internet disks, even an Endust cleaning CD). Nada. I then set up a Joint Venture call and they diagnosed the drive as faulty after repeating all of the above. They say it's very possible that dying Superdrives can read CDs and even burn disks but not read DVDs. They said it'd be about $150 to replace the drive at a Genius Bar.
Here's where I try to be helpful.
If you're found this thread and you're not under warranty, don't waste ANY time testing it or trying to fix. Certainly don't roll back to previous software versions -- wasting hours of time and eliminating software features you may like or introducing incompatibilities. Just hop on over to Amazon and buy a $30 (not kidding) Amazon Basics external DVD drive. I ordered one w/ my cleaning disk knowing I'd prob need it and prob wouldn't want to pay Apple to fix my 3-year old machine. Works like an absolute charm for me. Faster ripping CDs than the Superdrive, plays DVDs through DVD Player, VLC, or XBMC instantly.
So my advice (ignore it if you like, it's worth what you paid for it) is to ignore any conspiracy theories about whether Apple planned this. IMHO, it doesn't matter for $30. Your time is worth more than $30. Just buy an external and get on with your life. You can even use it with your drive-less Air when you get one, if you don't have one already. How often can you solve a complex computer problem instantly, and be better off in the end, for $30? Just do it. End of advice.
HTH.

Printer policies quit working after upgrade

Upgraded Zen server and 4 satellites from 10.3.0.27649 to 10.3.3.44626, clients are still 10.3.0, all ipp printer policies stopped working for 1000 plus users. Upgraded one client to 10.3.3, still policy will not deliver. Recreated printer policy from scratch, still no good. New policy would not allow me to select printer from pick list, could find it but it would not fill the prompt, so had to manually type in ipp://etc etc This is huge issue due to number of users unable to print. Bundles are fine, just no printer policies. All help appreciated.

Update, all of the printers were assigned by device, based on geographic area of the building. I added a user association and it got delivered, so this is only not working by device assignments. Dana

HELP toolbar player wont work after upgrading to itunes 11

after upgrading to new 11.0.0.163 my minimized player doesnt work, everything is grayed out....yes its set to be active in my toolbar, no i do not mean the mini player on the main screen...
this version *****...
and as other people mentioned, it didnt upgrade a very good portion of my music library.

I'm wondering if the reason is that there are simply so many match requests that Apple's network is not able to readily meet the demand. One reason I believe this may be the case is that I've never subscribed to iTunes Match, yet when i upgraded to 11, I also observed the "Sending Information To Apple" message for what seemed to me to be a long time. Having never subscribed to iTunes Match, I clicked the "X" to stop the process, and now I'm left with lots of songs that have been assigned the iCloud "Waiting" status, which I can't find a way to change without taking the initial action of subscribing to iTunes Match. So the question I will probably post as a new discussion might be something like, "Is there a way to resume a canceled automatic match process to resolve the "Waiting" iCloud status designation after an iTunes 11 upgrade without subscribing to iTunes Match?"
To summarize, I think it's likely that demand for matching is too great to be handled quickly through available network server resources, and that's at least partly due to the fact that every connected user with an iTunes library is undergoing the match process upon upgrading to iTunes 11, not only those for which an iTunes Match subscription was already active.

Kodak printer will not work after upgrading to Yosemite.. Please Help

I have uninstalled and re installed my kodak 5250 more than once and it still does not work. I have carried out a clean install of my Yosemite OS and still no joy. How do i fix this?

I've got the 7250 as well -- same exact issue. I sent an e-mail to Kodak support on Friday last week -- haven't heard anything, but they did ask for 2 business days time to respond.
I've been running the Yosemite Beta on one of my machines for a few months now and my printer stopped working on that one after the upgrade. I kept Mavericks on my other Mac until this weekend, and printing still worked from that machine until I upgraded to Yosemite over the weekend.
I've got Linux and Windows virtual machines that can print to the ESP 7250, so I can still print, albeit with the hassle of firing up a VM and printing from there... I sure hope Kodak responds! I offered to help them test any beta-quality drivers they may have, so -- we'll see what they say!
I've been planning to ditch the printer and get a new one, but I'd rather not have to do it right this minute just for a driver issue :-/

HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer driver not installing after upgrading to Windows 7

I have a HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer. I was working fine in Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
Once I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit the driver is failing to install.
I have tried all the solutions provided on the HP website but none of them worked.
I also wrote a mail to HP support but they replied that its out of warranty hence they will not be able to help.
If some genius can help me I will pray for him/her that all his/her wishes come true.
Thanks you in advance.
Imroz Baig

I just got my HP Deskjet F2120 working in Windows 7. Here's how:
Insert the setup disk in your CD/DVD drive. Choose to view the files in Explorer. Scroll down to the file "Setup," which is identified as an application.
Right-click the file and select "Properties." Click the "Compatibility" tab at the top of the resulting window.
Check off "Run this program in compatability mode for:" and choose "Windows Vista" from the pop-up menu.
ALSO check "Run this program as administrator" at the bottom of the window.
Press "Apply," then "OK."
Now you can double-click the "Setup" file and run the software installer.
It will 100% work inshallah...

Shared HP 6L printer no longer works after upgrade to Mavericks

Prior to upgrade was able to share old HP Laserjet 6L with another Mac....believe driver was Gutenprint 5.3xx.... Have not been able to find new driver to make printer work...Any sugestions on how to resolve issue...short of buying a new printer...althought it is probably time. Thanks

I tried several times to delete and add printer.Gutentenprint not an option to select defaults to Generic Postscrit Printer.
When I deleted and re-added my HP (which is connected by ethernet), where the default "Use: Generic Postscript" showed up, "Select Software" is an option in the pull-down menu. That gives all the Gutenprint choices.

Printer no longer works after upgrading to Maverick

I have an Epson TX810FW, multifunction printer/scanner. It wwas working fine until I updated to Mavericks. I now get a message that the scanner function is not supported and I cannot get the printer to work. I need both working, and I have loaded all the latest updates from Epson up to 2.15.1.
Can someone provide an answer that will restore the mrinter to fully operational? Otherwise, how can I reomve Mavericks, as the loss of functionality is more of a downside than any enhancements that Mavericks might claim.

Hi,
I've been experiencing a similar issue with my old, yet working until Mavericks update, OKIPage 14ex. No problem at all with both Lion and Mountain Lion but after Mavericks update the printer cannot print any longer. The printer is connected via a regular USB port, the system recognizes it, I can send a print to its queue but as soon as the print is enqueued the printer goes into hold status and nothing can be done to resume the print.
Since the printer model is quiet old, no driver is avaliable from OKI support, however I'm wondering what Apple did with this update thus being able to produce such a mess.
Of course I tested the printer conncted to another PC and it perfectly works!
I would really appreciate some advice in order to restore the previous situation.
Many thanks.
Marco
