Printer Help Needed
I have a MBPro 17 running osx10.4.8. I have a home network which I utilize multiple printers. I am having trouble with the driver for my kyocera mita FS-9100DN. I have gone to the mfr's website and downloaded the osx104.sit file which is explained to be the driver for the printer for OSX. When I try to open the file to execute the installer for the driver, I get a message stating that there is no program designated to open the file. I am new to mac's, and I really need some help here. Anyone that can give me a hand would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hey, Greg, I had a similar situation downloading an update for Quicken 2007 for Mac; the update was a ".sit" file and hence requires Stuffit Expander. Is Stuffit Expander a good program for the new Intel Macs? I have a MacBook Pro 17" with the 2.16 Ghz Intel chip. For some reason I feel a little hesitant to download and install the Stuffit app. What's the current experience with this app?
Thanks & God Bless!
Rick

I have a Windows pc only for 1 thing - printing pdfs. My problem is that Windows printer drivers allow me to have auto select paper size/tray depending on if the pdf page is standard or legal. I have not yet found anyway to do this through the mac.
I have a Brother HD-5370 laser printer and need some assistance with the paper auto select. If any one has any suggestions or an actual fix, I am all eras.
Thank You,
DanDan231,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
We are willing to help however we need you to complete your Public Profile (look to your right) so we can tell what computer you have, the version of OS X, how much RAM etc. Also letting us know where you are located could help in future posts.
Most printing issues are handled in the Printing forums. Each version of OS X has it's own printing forum. For example if you use Snow Leopard (10.6) then that forum is located at:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1344
However let me try and take a stab at your problem. I am guessing you are using Preview to print the PDFs so let's start there. When you print (Command-P) the printing box will appear, look under the Orientation and right below that it will probably default to Preview. Click that radio and choose paper handling to see if your printer offers more choices. You can also run Software Update to see if you have the most up-to-date drivers and retry.
Hope this starts to give you some direction.

Printer help needed from the Apple community
Hello Apple Community,
Can you help me to print from a new Mac to an old Canon printer?
I'm here in Vietnam (first time in Asia) as a teacher. I have the latest model MBP (running Mac OS X 10.8.4). There's an old Canon that I'm trying to print to. I've Google'd the model number but nothing comes up for Mac. There are sites in the Google search that say they have the software. I'm worried they might be malware sites.
On the back of the printer it says L11121E. But when I connect it (via USB) and open Print & Scan it detects it as a Canon LBP2900.
I looked here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670 and here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670.
But neither of those links list the Canon L11121E or LBP2900.
When I Google'd "L11121E mac driver" this link came up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899
Do you think that would work?
I checked for updates from the App Store (and System Preferences Print & Scan) with the USB cable of the printer plugged in. Nothing came back.
I'm a teacher trying to print material for my students. Any help at all would be appreciated.
Confused,
.SeanThank you, Linc!
Following the instructions from AlexeyU (thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15765876#15765876) worked!
AlexeyU's instructions:
"Try this:
1) Download & Install official drivers for Lion v3.36 – http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100359005.html
2) Download & Install this package –http://www.uzhva.com/temp/Canon_LBP3000_to_LBP2900_patcher.zip
3) Reboot
You probably will need to manually match your printer with LBP 2900 driver from drivers list." -
I am trying to print out football tickets I purchased thru stubhub. In my e-mail I recieved a link to download the tickets. I can see the page needed to print showing my ticket.When I hit the print icon a box opens and says This document could not be printed.I hit ok. Then a second box opens and says There were no pages selected to print. I went back to try again and after hitting the printer icon I see under pages 1 was selected but I was unable to access it or change it. I need to download these tickets soon...Thank you for help resolving this issue...
What printer? What driver? What OS and Reader version?

Can no longer see USB Printer - help needed
Hi
I have a macbook air connected via usb to an hp deskjet 840c.
Always worked fine - today I tried to print a document and the HP print utilities said it could not connect to the usb printer.
I tried several times to change the settings and reinstalled the drivers, but nothing happened.
I reset the printing system, which deleted the printer queue. Now the printer doesn't even show up if I try to add it again on printers & faxes. The printer doesn't show up on system profiler as well.
The macbook usb port works fine with any other devices.
Any hint?
ThanksHi alex:
I am not being critical of the Macfixit site, but I would NEVER download a system software update from other than the Apple site.
It is very difficult (translate impossible) to tell from here what happened. Usually those sorts of problems are attributable to changes, but I suspect you have already looked at that.
At this point, I think I would do an archive and install to try to get back to where you were. An A&I will install a fresh OS X while retaining your files, programs, and settings. I always suggest backing up before any software changes. The fresh A&I will install the drivers (including HP) that were originally distributed. You would, of course, need to run software update to bring everything up to current level.
Barry
P.S. If the problem persists after the update, I think I would suspect some sort of printer hardware problem. -
OfficeJet K60 printing help needed
Hi everyone,
I recently made the switch from Windows to Mac. I'm happy except that I can't get my HP OfficeJet K60 to print. I have it connected via USB and the printer setup utility easily recognized it. When I attempt to print, the printer utility will show that the document is "sending" for several minutes to the printer and then just stops as though sending and printing was completed, but nothing prints out and it doesn't appear as though the printer recognizes any input.
Any suggestions? I have OS X 10.4.6 which already has Footmatic/hpijs as part of the setup? I have looked up old responses to the question, but they all refer to downloading hpijs, but it is already on my new powerbook and it still won't print. I love my k60 and don't want to have to toss it because of this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
YoviI have the exact same computer, operating system, and printer, and I am stuck as well. Have you had any luck yet? It doesn't look like there are any OSX drivers for this printer and OSX doesn't have the K60 as an option for HP printers... this is a dubie

Airport Extreme and HP Psc printer help needed
Hey there, I just got a new Airport Extreme 802.11n, the internet works fine but I am having problems getting it to work with my HP printer. I have a HP PSC 2410 printer(multifunction).
The airport sees that it is connected and it comes up fine. But when I try and print something it just doesent work and usually will get stuck on "Opening Printer Connection".
Other times it may sound like the printer is going to print and it gets ready to but then stops. Also sometimes it can manage to print a few letters in Word but then I try to print a whole webpage and it wont work. But most the time it just wont work.
Things I have tried:
1.Call Apple-they said to come here
2.Called HP-they want me to give them $$ to get any support
3.Reinstalled drivers
4.Re-added printer
5.Power-cycled
6.Fiddled around with settings in the airport utility and elsewhere
The worst case I am expecting is that it just isn't compatible which in that case is no biggie because I can just hook it back up directly to my iMac and it works fine, just would be nice to be able to print wirelessly from my Macbook pro.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.Hello Drumwiz. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful. -

Expert SAMBA printing help needed
I have read every thread regarding SAMBA printing but am still having difficulties with Java applications.
I set up 2 kinds of printer queues.
1. No Password: Used the standard Add Printer dialog for Windows printing.
2. With Password: Used the Advanced Add Printer dialog and created a queue of this form: smb://username:password@server:port/printer.
Both queues work with regular applications. Queue 2 works in Java applications in an admin account. Neither queue works in Java applications from a standard account, I get a Printing Error dialog. Everything was working fine in Tiger. Leopard was installed via Archive + Install, network preferences were not copied.
Seems like some kind of permissions change relative to Tiger but I have no idea where to look.What printer? What driver? What OS and Reader version?
Can you try to print as image?
The option is present under Advanced options in the print dialog.

How do you print witn Adobe Reader legal and letter sized paper which are in one pdf file, the documented solution does not work on HP printers using Windows XP....
you would have to network both your mac and your desktop together... share the printer on the computer that it is connected to... then on your mac you can set up a wireless printer by going into system preferences, printer and follow the steps.... in order for you to have wireless printing you have to make sure that the computer that the printer is connected to is always turned on.. printing will not work if the computer is turned off.

Thanks
RamRam,
I have had printing problems too a year and a half ago. I used all printing apis of java and I still find that it is something java lacks. Now basically you can try autosense. To check whether your printer is capable of printing the docflavor use this PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset); . If it lists the printer then he can print the document otherwise he can't. I guess that is why you get the error.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re
Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............
