Printer problems after 10.4.11

Hi,
after updating my Power Mac G4 to 10.4.11 I'm experiencing printer problems with all of my printers (HP, canon, Apple), no matter what application I'm using.
for example in Word 2003 I get the error message:
"Word cannot print due to a problem with the current printer".
Similar errors occur in other applications, so I'm guessing there's something wrong with my complete printer system.
Any ideas?

i'm having the same problem. can you please explain how you fixed it. thanks soo much chris

IPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

iPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

Okay - So, I teach photography and have my students print contact sheets from iPhoto version 08. I have one student (out of forty) having the following problem (I have removed preferences, reinstalled iPhoto, used the iPhoto updater for 7.1.5, reloading the printer driver and upgrading the system software to 10.6.8 {I teach in a high school, so no funds for newer software})
The problem is isolated to one student - the others on the same machine do NOT have the same problem. When this student selects more than 5 images, the resulting output looks as if he has taken a screen shot - the palettes on the left of the frame show and the titles he has inserted (using Batch Change) are moved on to the pictures.
At this point, I am going to let him screenshot his submissions, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks!

Printing Problems after Reader 10 install

Recently deployed Reader 10 to about 300 workstations using Group Policy. Several machines are no longer able to print to some of the network printers. These printers are HP printers using the Universal Print Driver. When trying to print we get an error and the Adobe Reader application crashes. It will however print to other network printers that are using an older device specific driver, printing to the same print device. Have downloaded the latest HP driver, but it has not helped the situation. The printing worked fine with Reader 8 and Reader 9.   Anyone with an Idea?

Sorry only know Windows: Edit (menu)>Preferences>General>Application Startup>Enable Protected Mode at startup.

I am using a Mac 10.6 and cannot find the "Enable protected mode at startup" in General or any other options. Does anyone have an answer for Macs? Thanks.

Printer Problems after upgrade to Lion

Does anyone have this printer problem after upgrading to Lion. A perfectly functioning laser printer on my network prior to upgrade - now the network seems to drop the printer and show it as "not connected" approximately every 30 minutes ???

Hi Paul,
Been away and just got back to this issue.
Thanks for the info. The OKI site has now posted a list of all their Printers and their relative drivers for compatibility with "Lion". My machine is due an updated driver from OKI in Mid Decmber according to this notice.
Meanwhile, as the printer does work with some tweaking I guess I will use the work around until the new driver is available. My legacy printers that i use for special jobs both work and as I do not have the disks for their drivers I am loathe to re-set the printer system at this time.
Thanks for your assistance in this issue.
Regards,
Mike, Rustington.

Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.

There are several threads popping up over in the Mac OS X v10.6 section of ASC about the Security Update.

Officejet Pro K5400 printing problems after update to Mavericks OSX 10.9

Hi,
I have printing problems with my Officejet Pro K5400 after update to Mavericks OSX 10.9.
Now after printing 1 page the printer prints an extra page with '2345X' sentence on it. As this problem started right after updating, I suppose there is a problem with an update.

This patch did solve our problem with the K5400 feeding a "blank sheet".
Thank you.

Re: Printer Problems after 10.4.6 Update

I cannot find a solution to my printing problems since having updated to 10.4.6
I am using an HP Deskjet 3620 which worked fine with 10.4.5
Since the update, my printer settings have disappeared. When I try to add a printer, all I get is an error message. I have tried reinstalling the printer software, but I receive a message that I do not have a system folder. I have tried resetting my printer system but this does not solve the problem, nor has repaiting disk permissions.
Does someone have a solution?
Sincerely frustrated,

Thanks.
i will give that a try.

Print problem after exporting Pages to PDF.

I am attempting to print a very large genealogical book (300 + pages) of my family's descendants and noticed that in both Preview and Adobe Reader the first character of every page is missing. This does not happen when printing from Pages so it cannot be a printer problem. I checked the placement of the print against the Pages page and both Preview and Adobe Reader are EXACTLY the one character difference with the pages exactly even with each other. The original page type is 12 pt with margins: Left .5in, Right .5in, Top .75in, Bottom .75in, no header, Footer .5in using 9 pt type. What is really odd is that the onscreen display is correct but only the printed (HP OJ6500E702n wireless duplex marginless printer) copy is incorrect which indicates to me the conversion is somehow creating this problem.
I need this PDF file as it is the file I print from plus I put the file on a disk as a backup for the paper book for all book recipients.
Sparkgapper

While this problem is for ANY application that EXPORTS, not prints, to a PDF format, I have discovered that the problem is probably be with the printer's minimum allowable margins being physically the same regardless of portrait or landscape instead of the logical rotation of margin type locations in landscape mode. Question answered by logic research.

Printer problems after upgrading. My kodak esp 5250 says it has the printer head jammed. Reloading the software let it work once. Obviously an interaction problem with Lion. Any ideas?

Printer problem. Since installing Lion my kodak esp5250 all in one says the printer head is jammed. It isn't. Reinstalled software and it worked once but still gives printer head jammed message. Any ideas?

Only the obvious one: do you have the latest driver, and does that cope with Lion? Kodak's stated requirements include this, which is slightly suspect. Obviously an interaction problem with Kodak? Try exploring whatever help Kodak have.

Color Printing Problems after update dec28/07

Last night I installed the latest updates for PS CS3 on 2 machines and both machines have the exact same color issues while printing with two different Canon printers.
The Problem:
Since this last update all images I try in print from 16bit ProPhoto or AdobeRGB 16bit, converted from Canon RAW through ACR look sepia tone, there is virtually no color (images still look as they did before on my monitor). In order to get the color to print I must convert image profiles to 8 or 16 Bit sRGB. I have not changed any settings after the update and confirmed that the update made no changes to the printers set up. sRGB 8bit jpeg images print color as seen on the monitor.
BOTTOM LINE: I can no longer print ProPhoto or AdobeRGB color space on my 8 color Canon Printer

Thanks Jeff
Both computers are PCs, one on XP, one on Vista, and printers are Canon i9900 and Canon ip4000 both are printing exactly the same way. Swoped printers between PCs with same outcome. Only changes made to both PCs was the CS3 update.
Jeff, I thought the problem may stem from the ACR RAW conversion as regular sRGB jpegs print the color as seen on my monitor. I have also submitted this question to the general PS forum...
Thanks again for taking the time to reply..

Printing problems after 10.6.5 update

Any news on a possible problem with the latest system update? After doing this the other day I can't seem to print correctly out of photoshop CS5. The print box seems to preview correctly but does not come out the way I want. The same file opened up on a 10.6.4 system will print good. I hear it may be the upgrade that happened. Is there a fix coming out soon? Or any ideas on how I can help my computer. Also, just in case you tell me to do this I already cleaned house on the preferences for photoshop.

Printing problems after installing OS X version 10.4.8

I reciently upgraded to OS X version 10.4.8. After doing so, my Dymo Twin Turbo Label Writter won't print. I also am having problems using my Epson RX700 All-In-One Printer Scanner where the scanner cannot be found.
Both of these printers worked flawlessly prior to this update in version 10.4.6.
I have tried re-installing printer drivers, deleting the printers and re-adding them and cannot seem to get them working correctly. I have even tried doing a printer reset from the printer setup utilities.
Does anyone know how to fix these issues?

Start by downloading the 10.4.8 Combination (Combo) Updater from Apple and re-updating.
