Printer offline error after sleep

I upgraded to Leopard 10.5, then 10.5.1 and my Epson C1100 will print until my alu iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz has slept, then the print queue says the printer is offline. I restart and it works again until the next sleep cycle.
Anyone know a fix for this? How bad is a computer that has to be restarted each time I want to print?

Is Adoeb PDF (printer) working? Can you print your document to PDF?

  • Deskjet 4480 and "Printer Offline" message after moving laptop and re-plugging.

    I have an HP 4480 deskjet All-In-One printer wired to my HP dv6-2150us laptop (Win 7) with an USB cable. The printer is the network printer for my HP laptop and an Acer Aspire netbook (XP).
    Often,when I unplug my laptop from the power source and from the printer's USB cable to take my laptop to another area to do some work and then bring it back to the computer table, and and reattach the cables to power and printer OR when I shut down or put into sleep mode my compter, the next time I attempt to print I will get a Printer Offline message.
    At that point, I have to turn off the printer, unplug it from the laptop and power source, shut down the laptop and netbook, reattach everthing and plug all in again.
    Then, my laptop, to which the laptop is plugged in by USB, will show that the printer is reinstalling, just as if it was the first time install.; I am even asked to re-register the printer.
    Note that when the netbook is shut dow or, unplugged  to use elsewhere, it is often unabale to print, showing "no installed printer." Then I have to  search for a network printer and re-link it to the netbook.
    All this is quite frustrating. I have read the forum for similar posts, but nothing quite seems to match.
    As to a link offering a download for a printer trouble shooting link, i cannot seem to actually find the way to begin the download. I see a questionaire form but no download link. Hmm.
    i am not a newbie, but stumped about this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

  • ESTN c510 "Printer offline" error

    My e510 will work properly for awhile but eventually one of the two computers connected by hardwire to the network will have their documents sit in the Spooler/"All active printers" file & eventually will give a "Printer offline" error message The printer is connected wirelessly. Going thru ALL the "Guided solutions" does nothing. Printer is listed as the "Default" & has a green checkmark next to it, but says it's offline Zeen shows proper network connection as does a Microsoft network diagnostic. I have also re-booted my Verizon router & the computers. The only way to restore to working order is to delete the printer and re-install the software. Any queued documents start printing before the intall is even complete. Interesting, I had the same un-resolved problem with my Photosmart 3310 & that was connected by cat 5. Computers,routers & switches are in perfect running order with no malware. Any help would be appreciated

    If you keep losing your network connection with your eStation, you may want to set a static IP for the printer (not the Zeen).  Click this link for information on how to do that on your printer (similar model of printer in link).  Also, I have included a document so that you can make sure you have done all of the basic troubleshooting to keep this from happening again.
    --Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection--
    You shouldn't have to uninstall every time this happens.  I will need to know the operating system of your computer to assist you with a way around that step however.  Please specify the OS of the computer you use the most so I can help you if the above document does not.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • Multiple Printer Communication Errors after July Mavericks Upgrade

    Running multiple machines and printers, including:
    - iMac 2014; MacBook Pro 2013; iMac 2011; Tower 2010 / Mavericks
    - HP 8500 / USB and AirPrint / "Communication Error while Scanning"
    - Dymo Twin Turbo / USB / "Printer is Offline"
    - HP 400, HP 2430, Epson 3800 / LAN / No communication errors
    Since latest upgrade, my machines have stopped communicating with these printers. Those machines running Mountain Lion (two older Towers and MacMini) an still print and scan. I have dumped and re-installed all drivers. Have powered-down, disconnected, and reconnected all printers multiple times.
    Can scan to HP using web interface. Dymo is dead in water with anything running Mavericks. Because both the trouble printers are connected USB, I'm thinking that is the smoking gun. Anyone else in the same boat?
    Hoping a patch is in the work. Thanks.

    Haven't heard of that before.
    Before anything else - Apple has changed their print driver paradigm. Manufacturers give current drivers to Apple who have it on their server for automatic download/install when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs. Since 10.8, you don't normally install drivers (Dymo is probably an exception). HP even includes instructions for this on their web site.
    You need to try some generic maintenance first.
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Restart from the Recovery partition (or some other bootable drive), and repair the normal boot drive using Disk Utility:

  • Windows 8 Printer offline error

    Hello i posted this question on answers.microsoft.com but someone suggested me that is not a right place to post and he suggested me to post here on technet
    I am using brother MFC DCP 7030 in my office.I have latest drivers installed.I have installed it on pc and than accessing it from other pc as clients.
    First i shared it on server machine than added it on clients
    using \\IP Server\Share name right click printer than connect.
    Now every thing works ok but only for 1-2 days.Than problem starts printer starts showing offline.I can ping to server but printer is offline.
    i searched and tried that SNMPLegacy value method but still same problem.
    I have tried with different printer of HP Laserjet 1020 but the problem is still there.Windows 8 is troubling me :(
    I have to remove it and again install as a temporary solution.
    Please give me permanent solution if anyone has.I am fed up installing and uninstalling again and again.
    Computers are on WORKGROUP (server and client both) with ip range of 192.168.0.1-254
    Thanks
    Waiting for helpfull reply

    Ankit-IT,
    The first thing I would do is to make sure you have the correct driver for your printer installed. 
    The
    Windows Compatibility Center verifies that your printer is compatible with Windows 8.1 and also provides a link to obtain the latest drivers from the manufacturer.
    Once you’ve verified that you have the correct and latest driver installed, take a look at the printer itself and see if it’s set to go into a standby mode. 
    It’s possible that when your printer finally shows as offline, that it’s doing so because of going into a standby or sleep mode.
    Another scenario is that the IP address is changing on you, causing the printer to go offline. 
    Take note of what the IP address is on a day that it is working, then on the day you find it offline. 
    You may end up needing to change the IP address to static.
    One final thing that I would check is the SNMP status in the properties for the port your printer is installed on. 
    On your system acting as the server:
    Go into Devices and Printers by pointing your mouse to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and click
    Search.)  Type in “Devices and Printers”.
    Right-click on your printer and choose Printer Properties.
    Click on Change Properties at the bottom of the window.
    Go to the Ports tab.
    Choose Configure Port.
    Uncheck SNMP Status Enabled.

  • T410 Ultrabay HDD error after sleep

    После выхода из сна (откр-закр крышку) windows выдает ошибку извлечения hdd что в ultrabay стоит. Началось после установки стоковых программ со странички поддержки (lenovo power manager и т.д.). Не криминал, но не приятно каждый раз открывая ноут такую ... видеть. Что с этим делать?
    T410 core i5. I have an SDD in main gate and HDD in ultrabay. After close and open the lid (it goes to sleep), there will appear a windows error that tolds me "Unable to remove the device...". There is nothing scary, but i doesn't like this windows every time when i open my computer.
    The problem started after installing lenovo programs like lenovo power manager and other that was at support page. 

    A year ago I bought an ultrabay adapter (knock-off) off ebay for my T400. Recentrly I sold my T400 and got a T410. So I decided to try that ultrabay adapter on T410. In the begining it was behaving like jfd3220 described " When I power up the machine the Ultrabay drive spins up for a second and the light on the adapter comes on and then the drive turns off. The Ultrabay drive is not found by the BIOS".
    Here is the trick how I made that adapter to work. May be it will help you too.
    As you know in T410 optical drive (DVD) automatically powers off if it is not used for some time. When DVD drive powers off, a new icon appears in My Computer. It says something like "Other  E:    Powered Off".  If you double click that icon, DVD drive powers on again. What I did, I waited till my DVD drive powered off. After that icon came up(which says "Other E:   Powered off" ). I made a shortcut of that icon on my desktop.  Then I took out my DVD drive, put the ultrabay hdd adapter in, doubled clicked on that Power off icon on my desktop and that's it. This shortcut powers on the hdd adapter.  If you restart Windows you'll have to double click on that icon and that's it. Ultrabay HDD will work. At least it works for me. Let me know if that helped. My english is not good but I tried my best. Of course it doesn't help the BIOS to see the hd in the ultrabay. But the trick works in Windows.
    I read on the net that original Lenovo Hard Drive Bay Adapter III, P/N 43N3412 works on T410 without any problem and tricks.

  • Printer connection errors after upgrade - help

    After upgrading to 10.5 - any of our printers that were already established are now not accessible. They give the message - "Attempting to connect to host RNPB5FAE6.local. on port 9100" after a while - then unable to connect will retry. If I delete the printer and reestablish via appletalk it will work. If I use bonjour I end up back at the same problem. What happened? Why is this happening?
    I have hundreds of computers that I would have to manually reset - there has to be a better solution. Why is bonjour not working?

    Hi, i've just search for the same problem. I suddenly cannot print, following trying to print at 1.3mb (only) 20 page InDesign doc ...my printer in another country gave up on the same printing. it too giving me at '13% complete' reading. i was in a rush to get a return flight to the UK but v much think that clicking 'hold' > 'resume' that it would have also given me - 'Attempting to connect to host '...' on port 9100'.
    I've been to the mac store after much googling and was advise to re-install the driver when i got back (installation time would have taken too long in the store)
    I've emailed you on this thread as i really think you may have the secret to recovery but have to say that your reply baffles me as it's soooo techie :(( ..what's 'pinging'?... I've had a mac for ages though and am pretty good at sorting things generally so would you have any great advice, not uber techie to help me / others in the future? I would v much appreciate it!
    Ps. I have Leopard by the way.
    thanks,

  • Printer offline error

    I recently upgraded my Macbook air with Yosemite OS X version 10.10.2.  
    I have a laserjet 2600n printer and it worked well with prior operating systems but I can't seem to make a wireless connection since the OS upgrade.  
    When I connect a USB wire to it, it works.  Why is the new OS not able to recognize the network printer?
    anyone else having this issue?
    is it a driver problem?
    thank you very much

  • Printer offline when connected to Time Capsule

    I moved my HP All-In-One C4580 from my office to my home. At home, I use my Time Capsule as my primary wireless router.
    I have followed every step that HP tells me, in terms of removing and reinstalling the software, and still, the only way I can print is to have the printer connected directly to my MacBookPro via a USB cable. I was expecting to be able to use it either wirelessly, like it says it is supposed to be capable of, or with it wired to my Time Capsule via USB. The last piece of advice I got from tech support at HP was this:
    "I recommend you to open the EWS Page of your router and check the MAC filtering option. I would request you to contact Apple for the assistance on the same. The printer works after connecting to Mac using USB cable and the message 'Printer offline' appears after connecting to the Apple Time capsule base station."
    I cannot figure out what the EWS page is, or how I would get to it.

    Thanks LaPastenaue.
    I ran the network utility but only the macbook had a .local suffix.  I'm struggling to understand the info from Netstat to be honest and obviously I'm not keen on sharing my network data with the rest of the interweb.
    I did try moving the TC into the same room as the HH5.  I moved all the connections from the HH and plugged them into the gigabit ethernet ports on the TC and ran one Cat6 from the TC WAN port into the HH, using it as a modem only.  This was not the setup I was hoping for as I am running out of room for kit, but annoyingly, this does give me a solid AirPlay connection on all my devices when on the TC network.
    I did a comparison on each setup with netstat and I see that in the first 'Internet' table that the TC is not mentioned in the old setup(TC in separate room) but is listed in the 'Internet' table when I have it plugged up as above.
    It seems that whenever I have the music streamer plugged in to the TC directly I get AirPlay but if it daisy chained through the HH ethernet hub I get an intermittant and flaky AirPlay connection.
    Any more thoughts?

  • Epson Workforce 500 and HP  OfficeJet Pro 8500 - "Printer Offline"

    This week I downloaded an Epson printer driver update from Apple's Software Update. I use an Epson Workforce 500 with my Mac Mini computer at my office. Since installing Snow Leopard originally I had experienced no problems with the printer but assumed that if Apple was telling me to install a driver update, I should do so. Big mistake!
    After installing the driver update I was unable to print anything. When attempting to print a page from Safari or MIcrosoft Word, everything initially seemed ok, until I saw my printer icon bouncing in the Dock with a yellow symbol indicating "Printer Offline." After searching the Apple site and various discussion boards I spent an entire afternoon attempting all of the recommended fixes with no results. Since I cannot operate my business without a printer, I decided to simply purchase a new printer hoping that this was simply an Epson problem.
    I am now the proud owner of an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One. Unfortunately I am still suffering from the "Printer Offline" message whenever I attempt to print anything. After spending another afternoon on the phone with a tech support person from HP, I am still unable to print. I have done all of the following:
    Disconnected and reconnected all cables between the computer and the printer.
    Switched the USB cable to a different USB port on the computer.
    Restarted the computer and the printer.
    Unplugged and replugged the computer to reset it.
    Checked to confirm that the printer does show up under USB on the System Profiler.
    Deleted any old print jobs in the print queue and made certain that the printer was not in pause mode.
    Tried to print from various programs with the same result.
    Although this printer does appear in the printer list, deleted it and then added it again under the Printer and Fax area of System Preferences.
    Uninstalled the HP printer driver, restarted the computer, downloaded HP's latest driver for this computer from their website under the instruction of HP's tech support person and reinstalled this driver and again performing all of the above.
    Repaired disk permissions several times.
    Reset the printing system under the Printer and Fax area of System Preferences.
    I have been unable to find any further possible fixes in any of the discussion boards either on the Apple or the HP site. After doing everything listed here the HP tech support person felt that the problem must be with Apple rather than HP since the problem developed initially after the Epson printer update and then occurred with both the Epson and the HP printers.
    I have an appointment later today with an Apple Genius at my local Apple store to see if I can get any advice. Any suggestions from anyone on this board would be greatly appreciated since I do need my printer to carry on in my business. At this point I am desperate to the point of considering the replacement of my computer but am hesitant to do so suspecting that the new models should be released soon.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try downloading and installing the 10.6.1 combo update. It's OK to do this even though you are already running 10.6.1. One of the "fixes" .. "some printer compatibility drivers not appearing properly in the add printer browser"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL930
    Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Always make sure your Mac has sufficient disk space available.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000  printer offline

    Hello,
    This printer has recently been giving me a lot of problems. Whenever I try to use it, all I get is a Printer Offline error. It worked fine the first month or two when I got it, ever since it only works randomly, and thus has become very unreliable when I need it. Is there anyway to fix this? It is hooked up via a usb cable as well. If anyone can help me, it is greatly appreciated.

    I am experiencing the same problem. Except I have never gotten mine to work. It prints out diagnostic sheets but will not print when I ask it too (wirelessly). Please help!
