Printer Setup Help - Spooling Issue?

I've been fighting with this for months and I can't get it figured out. We've got a networked printer here at my office (Oce cm3521) that appears to be set up properly. I can connect and print single items without issue, but anytime I set up a print job with a large number of copies it takes an eternity. For example, I needed to print 250 copies of a 2 sided flyer. I sent the job to the printer then the printer appeared to be setting up all the copies internally before ever actually printing a single one. By contrast, when I printed the same file from a Windows machine the printing started immediately.
I've connected to this printer by multiple methods (Appletalk, LPD, IPP) with the same results. I'm sure it's some setting or something but I can't seem to find it. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice, but it still didn't work. The printer still wanted to ready all 250 copies before spitting one out.

My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printer can no longer find my wireless network. My MAC is, Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and Canon LAN printer setup routine many time. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printercan no longer find my wireless network. (It worked fine until recently) I have a Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and the Canon LAN printer setup routine many times. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

Fritzk,
Some other useful info would be connection method to the printer and the application we are printing from, as well as if other printing (docs etc) work or not. But in the mean time lets also go through some of the basics together. Lets make sure the printer is set properly for photos using printing preferences:
-Click the start button and then select devices and printers.
-Right click your printer and select printing preferences.
-In the new window that appears on the left you will see printing shortcuts. There will be one marked as photo or some variation - select that. To the right ensure that the size is set to 4x6.
-Click ok to close the window and save the changes.
Try the print again. If it does not resolve anything lets move on to making sure we have no software tripping us up. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en - It can fix a lot on its own and if not give us a better idea of what is going on. Let us know the results.
If all the software components check out use this article as it handles partial prints under unique circumstances: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01892627&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
Give the steps listed under windows a try and let us know if it helps.
Best of Luck!

Local printer management --Spooler Issues--

Trouble: of the 3 production printers on a local machine 1 to many of the printers may have a Job get stuck in printing for some unknown issue. Clicking cancel job / Delete fails to remove the Job from the List. At this point i am forced to Kill the Print
Spooler and restart it.
Want to have From Wscript.Shell or VBS: for each printer with a Que Count >1 Find the First JobId with a bad status delete this and Copy the remainder of the PrintQue content to a Local "Temp" location use a CancelAllJobs() method, then Replace
all the Content back into the printer Spooler for re-issue.
Thoughts?
Thanks

I would investigate the root cause of why certain print jobs cause a problem.

'Printer setup utility' problem...please help me.

Hi all, running tiger 10.4.11, trying to connect an Epson DA4050 printer.
It's not showing when I try to 'add printer' in systems prefs, so have attempted to open Printer Setup Utility and I get the message - 'The item cannot be opened. It may be disabled or not installed'.
Sure enough its not showing up in the utilities folder, so I'm assuming this is the problem. How can I install just this without reinstalling the whole system?
Any help gratefully received - thanks.

If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Printer Setup Utility Crashing on Launch. Please Help!

Hi all,
I am trying to set up my sister's iBook to print on my home network. I'm using a fuji xerox docuprint C525A and my first step was to obtain the latest drivers from fuji xerox.
However when I go to add the printer in printer setup utility the program unexpectedly quits. Obviously this is making it pretty much impossible to add the printer.
The iBook is running 10.3.9 so far the only step I've taken to try and fix the problem has been to repair disk permissions. This unfortunatey hasn't helped.
I would greatly appreciate any advice for further troubleshooting.
Thanks
-Tim

Hi Tim,
I don't see any obvious problem with the results that you have shown. The logical links look okay and the PrintCore program is present and has the about the right size. Nevertheless, the results that you obtained a few days ago suggest that there is a problem somewhere in the PrintCore.framework. I would suggest that you replace this framework and see if Printer Setup Utility works correctly.
If you want to do that, I think the safest thing to do is to get the most current version of the framework and you can do that by loading it from the OS X 10.3.9 combo update. Here are the basic steps to follow:
- You will need to install an app called Pacifist.
- You will also need to download Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9. After you download this update, open its disk image and extract the .pkg file to your desktop.
- Start Pacifist and then use it to open the .pkg file from the combo update.
- Use the Search command in Pacifist to search for PrintCore.framework (use lower and upper case as shown). After Pacifist finds and highlights this framework, click the Install button.
That should do it. The framework on your computer will be replaced with framework from the combo update. I hope that this fixes your problem.

Need help with Printer Setup conventions

I can't get my Brother printer to print from one computer--but it prints okay from the other computer on my network. I need to know the conventions for the Printer Setup Utility.
There's a checkbox by every printer on the list. What does it mean when the checkbox is grayed out?
Some printer names appear in bold. What does that mean?
Thanx.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your help in this and just want to understand what you're saying.
As I say, the printer is displayed in the print dialog box but the checkbox is grayed out. I'm assuming that when you say "...it can't find/see them now," you mean the print dialogue can't see them (the drivers). Your last sentence confuses me. You say, "Do you maybe have Printer Sharing enabled & they aren't actually directly connected? If so you have to reboot after turning it off." A little confusion about your antecedents here. What isn't actually connected? The printer? So I have to reboot after turning it off, "it" I suppose is the printer, is that right? I will try that. So turn printer off, reboot, turn printer on. Right?
I will describe my problem. l thought that if I understood why the checkbox was grayed out I might see what my problem was. If you want me to start another topic I can do that.
Problem: I have a network with 2 computers and the Brother
multifunction fax/printer. I'm using an Apple airport hub. The printer
and one computer (Mac tower) are connected to the airport base via
ethernet. The 2nd computer (Apple laptop) is on the wireless network.
Until recently i could print from both computers. Now I can't print from
the tower. But I can still print from the laptop.
When I try to print from the tower I get an error message that says, "Cannot print from current printer." I have rebooted, reinstalled printer drivers, checked cables, deleted printer from printer list and re-added printer all to no avail. But as I say, I can still print from the laptop which is using Airport. So the printer prints, the hub connects to the printer okay (ethernet) and I know the tower connects to the hub (I can ping the printer okay from the tower.)
I am conversing to Brother support via email and their first suggestions I have already tried. Perhaps there's some problem in the network, but I can't figure it out. Worse yet, now when I go to the Network preferences I get an error message which says, "Your network settings have been changed by another application." THIS ERROR MESSAGE WON'T GO AWAY! I can click 'okay' but it reappears. I have to force quit the System Preferences to get out. If you can help with any of these problems I surely appreciate it.

Printer Setup Utility quit!!!! Please Help!!

Hi, this is my first Post, and I am hopeing to get a help from you!!!
Well, I am trying to insatall a new printer and the printer software was installed just fine. But I get the following error messgae everytime I click "Set Up Printers" and I can't move forward.
"The application Printer Setup Utiloty has unexpecctedly quite."
Is anyone have an solution for this?
I REALLY need to set up this HP printer!!!! Please HELP.

First, welcome to the discussions.
( I am trying to Install a New Printer) (What kind)?
Give us as much information as you can.
What brand of printer, Model Number?
Which Operating System do you have ?
OSX- OSX 10.1-OSX 10.2- OSX 10.3- OSX 10.4
There is a big difference.
Most printers are designed for PC use.
Not all Printers are compatible with Apple Computers.
There are several different compatibility lists that are out there and give step by steps for downloading drivers for Mac's.
Make sure that Printer Utility Software that is downloaded to your computer, that the folder is drug into the Application folder and double click and open it . Each one is a little different and thats the reason we need to know what printer you have.
In some cases the drivers that are furnished with your printer will not work.
Sometimes you will need to download 3rd party drivers that are Open Source to make some printers work. Here are 2 links below that have some available.

Cheers, and be sure to read the instructions given in the links given.

Eric, I'm sorry not to be much help. As I'm not technically minded I was finding it hard to follow Paul's questions and he sorted it himself, but did say that it was to do with configuration.

Need help to find printer setup utility

I recently bought my first Mac and have slowly been adding to it over the last couple of weeks. Today I added a new printer that I wish to connect wirelessly. The printer is a Brother MFC-3360. I installed the software that came with the printer and had the printer connected directly to the Mac Book. It printed just fine.
I then disconnected the USB cable and plugged it into the Extreme Base station. It failed to print. According to the Extreme manual, I need to open printer setup utility, located in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Then from there I need to add the printer.
The problem is, I have no printer setup utility. Is there another place where it might be located?
Any other ideas will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Found problem. Went to Sys prefs -> Printers and Fax -> removed my printer and re-installed. Works like a charm.

Epson 4800 Ethernet IPP Network Cant Add PRINTER SETUP UTILITY

Greetings!
Any known issues?
Does anyone have this working??
I am having a time TRYING to ADD a new Epson 4800 printer, Epson Ethernet card onto new Mactel laptop and new quad G5 (both 10.4.7).
Epson NetConfig Utility sees the printer and set an IPP address.
However, Apple PRINTER SETUP UTILITY Add IP printer isn't working.
I had qualified Epson support taking me through the steps...he said some issues with the Intel books, but that doesn't explain why the G5 isn't working.
Three hours yesterday and I'm back on it later today...any tips/info appreciated.

Hi all,
I recently bought an Epson Stylus DX4850 and I'll be damed if I get the thing installed on my Intel based Mac! This is driving me mad, I've been told that it is compatable. I've downloaded all the drivers from the Epson website but when I go to add the printer it's not listed. Does this mean that I need to use a different driver or gimp driver?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and would prevent me from going insane!
Many thanks, Jon

C6180 does not appear in my list of printers in Printer setup utility (mac OS X 10.4.11)

My C6180 was printing slowly so I followed the steps in the forum (unplugging, holding down the buttons, etc. ... Shut down, restart, etc.) Now it doesn't appear in my list of available printers when I try to set up again in the Printer Setup Utility. My software is updated. How to I get it in the list. I've been around in circles and I may have messed up some settings in trying to solve this. I have to print stuff for work. Freaking out a little. Help.
