PRINTER SELECTION FAILED. REVERTING TO PREVIOUS PRINTER

When I try to select any device I get the message that "printer selection failed. Restoring the previous selection". I was printing yesterday, and suddenly I was unable to print. I have trashed the driver and reinstalled it, but it runs the gamut from my HP 5100 to my Brisque device, nothing prints.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just noticed someting else. When I am attempting to add a printer, the printer icons look different than the ones on the other G5's in my office. These icons look like smaller desktop printers with a blue strip to maybe indicate paper, the icons on the other G5 looks more box like, all white and the icon for the plotter on the other G5 looks like a plotter.
Something is weird. Would reinstalling system software help?
Help!

  • Error when printing: Printer selection failed. Restoring the previous selection.

    Hi!
    Sometimes when I'm printing in InDesign CS3 the default printer is PostScript and when trying to change it the error "Printer selection failed. Restoring the previous selection." appears.
    It´s the same error as in this unsolved old thread:
    Printing Error: Printer selection failed. Restoring the previous selection.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    What is the OS? CS3 was not tested on recent OS versions and may not be fully functional. You can export to PDF and print that from Acrobat or Reader.

  • "Print preset selection failed – restoring previous selection"

    Hey, my name is Quin, and I have had a strange problem with InDesign CS5. Suddenly, without warning, or apparant change to my preferences/settings, all my print presets have stopped working. When I attempted to return to them, i get a dialog box that reads "Print preset selection failed. Restoring the previous selection." I'm curious if anyone else has had a problem with the print presets randomly not working. I'm using InDesign CS5 7.0.3 on my MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and a Brother HL-5340D printer. I thought the print driver might have been corrupt so i deleted and reinstalled it, but to no avail… seems that a number of my print settings are simply unavailable, even if they are still listed.
    Anyone have any insight?
    Thanks so much,
    Quin

    Try unplugging and plugging the cables. I would also suggest the you connect the printer to one of the built-in ports rather than a hub, but if you must use a hub, use a powered hub.
    Can you delect the printer and print without using a preset? If so, try editing the preset and just reselect the printer.

  • The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible, not the usual boot error though?? (0xc000000e)

    Hey,
    I need some help fast please. I recently booted up my gaming rig after swapping out a 7970 graphics card and upon system boot up, as the windows 7 logo appeared the system crashes and a BSOD appears for a split millisecond and I'm asked to start up repair windows
    or start windows normally however when I click start up repair a black error screen appears with the following message and error: The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible error state and an error code:0xc000000e. Now of fixed this before
    multiple times except this instance nothing seems to work Ive tried the following:
    - check for any unplugged or loose cables
    - Re installed my ram
    - Booted with on board graphics
    - unplugged all usb devices and external devices with the exception of the keyboard and mouse
    - Booted with system installation disc and attempted system repair several times only with the same outcome of wanting to restore from a previous system restoration point however it always fails
    - changed the boot type to IDE which made the system boot furhter past the logo screen however it still crashes with the same error
    - From the system installation disc I ran a chkdsk /f and no corruptions or bad sectors were found
    However, I did run from the installation disc a "bcdedit" and my osdevice was  unkown and my boot manager and boot loader were set to two different drives on being D: and the other being C:. So I re-linked all three back to the D: drive as the
    windows installation disc says thats where Windows 7 is installed, although in the actual windows 7 My Computer its listed as C: drive which is weird? anyways after re-linking them using bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=D: and the other two commands
    my recovery partition disappeared  which was listed as C:, and now I can only see my local drive? That did not fix the error so I tried one last thing and ran another chkdsk D: /f /r which is taking for ages and I'm assuming my hard drive and its contents
    are still intact ( thank god!!) because its taking so long and there are 612080 files to be processed!
    I thought I might try and rebuild Master Boot Record?
    I don't want to loose any of my data, well I hope I haven't lost any because I have over 150+ games and their saves :(
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated :D 
    thanks guys! 

    Hi,
    Repair the current OS using the Windows 2008 / 7 DVD:
    Boot to the Windows DVD
    Select Next > Repair your computer
    Select Next > Command Prompt
    Change directory (cd) to x:\Sources\recovery 
    then type Startrep.exe to launch a quick automated startup repair utility which corrects boot environment values. This step may require more than one attempt and should be repeated a couple of times if the first repair fails.
    If step 3 fails, open the command prompt and type bcdedit This
    will display the values for Windows Boot Manager.
    Review the values for Device. Is it set to unknown, as shown below? If so, proceed to step 7.
    At the command prompt, type the following commands (c: is the default system partition. If your original partition was another drive letter, this value can be set to that drive letter):
    bcdedit
    /set {DEFAULT.EN_US} device partition=c:
    (press enter)
    bcdedit
    /set {DEFAULT.EN_US} osdevice partition=c:
    (press enter)
    bcdedit
    /set {BOOTMGR.EN_US} device partition=c:
    (press enter)
    Reboot the system after removing the OS disk.
    Hope it helps,

  • A strange applet selection fail problem

    Hi, All. I am trying to implement the RSA encryption and decryption using rmi. I use the RSA implementation sample code in the previous post and the RMIPurse sample code in the package (3.0.2 classic ) for testing. However, after I add some initialization codes into the PurseImpl class, I got the "applet selection failed" error.
    The code that I modified based on RMIPurse
    import javacard.framework.ISO7816;
    import javacard.framework.ISOException;
    import javacard.security.CryptoException;
    import javacard.security.KeyBuilder;

    import javacard.security.RSAPrivateCrtKey;
    import javacard.security.RSAPublicKey;
    import javacardx.crypto.Cipher;
    public class PurseImpl extends CardRemoteObject implements Purse {
        private short balance = 0;
        private byte[] number;
         // crypto variables
         final static byte GETSET_CLA = (byte) 0x85;
         final static byte CRYPT_CLA = (byte) 0x00;

         // This buffer contains the string data on the card
         byte TheBuffer[];
         // globals
         RSAPrivateCrtKey rsa_PrivateCrtKey;
         RSAPublicKey rsa_PublicKey;
         KeyPair rsa_KeyPair;
         Cipher cipherRSA;
         final short dataOffset = (short) ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA;
        public PurseImpl() {
            super(); // export it
            number = new byte[5];
              // crypto
            TheBuffer = new byte[100];
            // generate own rsa_keypair
            try {
                   rsa_KeyPair = new KeyPair(KeyPair.ALG_RSA_CRT, KeyBuilder.LENGTH_RSA_1024);
                   rsa_KeyPair.genKeyPair();
                   rsa_PublicKey = (RSAPublicKey) rsa_KeyPair.getPublic();
                   rsa_PrivateCrtKey = (RSAPrivateCrtKey) rsa_KeyPair.getPrivate();
                   cipherRSA = Cipher.getInstance(Cipher.ALG_RSA_PKCS1, false);
              catch (CryptoException e) {
                short sw = (short) 0x9100;
                sw |= e.getReason();
                ISOException.throwIt(sw);
        }I got:
    Receiving initial reference... java.rmi.RemoteException: Applet selection failed, SW = 6d00
    That's strange. because without the initialization codes in try/catch block, there is no problem to select the applet. Can anyone help?

    I have exactly the same problem when calling (trying to) any applets method. Where are these parameters to be turned on?

  • Lr 3.4.1 screen crashes on load; reverts to previous screen or won't shut down--see "more like thli

    1.   Have successfully imported some images to Lr 3.4.1, but when I try to import the second batch of images from the same memory card by going thro the import steps, Lr either reverts to the previous screen (of the last set of images) or the whole screen goes blank, and the tabs can't be operated, and I can't close the application either.    What have I done wrong or what do I need to do to correct this problem?
    Message was edited by: Ron Bob 2.   Lr 3.4.1 crashes whern importing images from camera memory card;  3.   Can specify/name a new folder, but then it disappears;  4.   Then Lr freezes and reverts to previous image screen in Library;  5.  And then when I try to reload Lr by going to File/import images from camera, Lr freezes or goes to a single blue bar at top of screen (nothing else shows in Lr);  Nor can I then close Lr by ticking on the X, or by trying to exit under the file menu.  6. Am using Windows Vista (with latest updates),  Lr 3.4.1, AVG 2012.     Seems to be similar problem to others reported in the "More like this" section, but I am not using 'tethered captiure', although I AM TRYING TO IMPORT FILES FROM A CAMERA MEMORY CARD.

    For xfce4 shutdown and reboot you probably have to fix the Policykit.conf: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 19#p496619
    I just got helped with this myself.
    If you use my /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf make sure you use your own "login name"...... mine is "seventy3" so use your own "$USER" name like the HAL ArchWiki page says here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL … utomounter

    iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account."  They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store.  It is not required to use an iPod.
    The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time.  When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased.  Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward.  You can then add content to your shuffle.
    The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store.  Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

  • How to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS6?

    I have suddenly replace wrong working files, how to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS 6?
    OS Mac version: 10.10.3
    InDesign CS6 version

    This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed. Here's a blog post I wrote about the product Story Versioning in InCopy | InCopySecrets.

    Reverted my previous reversion, since the original change wasn't the cause of the Mustella breakage. So once again:
    The 'lineBreak' style is now properly declared as non-inheriting.
    For a long time we've intended for it to be non-inheriting... it lives in BasicNonInheritingStyles.as! And we want it to be non-inheriting, because in TLF this format does not inherit from parent FlowElement to child FlowElement, so in Flex is should not inherit from parent UIComponent to child UIComponent. But the metadata incorrectly said inherit="yes". It now correctly says inherit="no".

    2, Un-install Tomcat server.

                  First of all, the entire context of the xsd is too long, it could discourage other people from reading the entire post. Please refrain from posting the entire document.
                  The xsd is not well-formed, that should explain the errors that you are getting when activating the external definition. I'm pasting a valid xsd that could be read in XI: It should look like this (this is a simple example only)

  • Reverting to previous version of Numbers

    Is there a way to revert to previous version of NUMBERS? I am using MAVERICK and I want to go back.

    You can have the iWork '09 apps be the default but still have the new apps installed. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This will also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.
