Printer shows up in System Preferences, Says Ready, but nothing prints

Hi, I migrated successfully last week from a G5 to a MacPro. My printer was working up until yesterday. It is an epson stylus photo 1400, connected by usb. I downloaded a new driver from Epson, but still can't make it work. Have run Tech Tool Pro, reloaded software several times. Printer shows up in system preferences window, and when I go to print it appears to be working, but then disappears from the list and never prints. Have been checking posts, but not finding an answer. Please help if you can. Thanks, S

Not knowing how you mucked things up when you locked yourself out or what you used with BatChnod, resolving things can be an issue. Check See Niel's guide. and ensure you've done things correctly. If resetting things appropriately doesn't do the trick, reinstall Snow Leopard, run Software Update, repair permissions, and restart.

  • I have a LaserJet 5L printer and I can't get it running properly under 10.5.8 while it works fine under 10.4.11. It only prints the first document and then shows the queue and prints slow like ****, it says so, but nothing printed after30 minuts.

    Hi.
    I have problems to get my Laser Jet 5L running properly under 10.5.8. I prints the first page/document and then it says1,36 % printed than printing but nothing happens. Under 10.4.11 everything works fine, sometimes I have to get the print jobs running again,but then it works.
    I have the Laser Jet 5L connected via USB to parallel.
    I am running a PowerBook G4 1,67 GHz and 2 GByte RAM.

    Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.
    Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X 10.5.x

    2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    3. Choose Print & Fax from the View menu.
    4. Control-click on list of printers on the left side of the window, then choose "Reset printing system" from the contextual menu. If you don't see a list of printers, Control-click on the text "Click + to add a printer or fax" and select "Reset printing system..."

  • When I hit the print button in Hotmail this big window opens but nothing prints??

    At the top of this window in the search box it says "Search Bookmarks and history", but my printer dialog box will not open. I have been clearing the cache(Tools/Clear Recent History) but now even that didn't work. So what's up and how can I get this fixed?
    Thank you for your help.

  • How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro?

    How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro? I want to be able to connect to my AppleTV.

    I looked at that already. I've done everything it says: check to make sure wireless is working, make sure airplay is enabled, make sure device and apple tv are on the same network blah blah. The icon just isn't there. Unless I skipped a step. AirPlay works when I use it in the music app and in the video app, I jus can't get mirroring to work. I was looking at some other threads and mirroring doesn't seem to be working for a lot of people. Maybe I jus have to wait for an update =\

  • My iMac with Mavericks update does not recognize my brother printer and I cannot even add the printer info in the system preferences printer list.  What is WRONG?

    I had to buy a new printer when I got my Imac and I chose the Brother multifunction inkjet MFCJ470DW.  It worked fine when my Mavericks version was 10.9.1, but after the automatic update to 10.9.2 the computer no longer recognizes the brother, or says it isn't connected, and when I deleted it from printer preferences and attempted to re-enter it as default printer, I cannot even type anything into the list of printers when I press the + sign to add.  What am I doing wrong?  Can someone please tell me even how to add text into the printer preferences list? 

    I had some of the same issues your having, deleted the printer from Printer and Scanner in System Preference.
    What I ended up doing was connecting the printer with a USB cable like it was a new set up, down loaded the drivers from Apple, still did not seem to work, but did a coupel of restarts and the printer was found then I completed the set up.

  • Is my external monitor supposed to show up in system preferences?

    I called LG because my LG monitor keeps getting stuck in 'Power Saving Mode' and the LG customer service rep said it's because my MacBook isn't recognizing the monitor.  He said that the external monitor is supposed to show up in system preferences when it is plugged in.  Is that correct?

    It should show up in the System Preferences, Displays preference pane.

  • Account doesn't show up in system preferences

    In an attempt to override my master password, I started my computer in single user mode, typed /sh/mount -uw / and passwd, and then entered a new password. However, this created a new account called System Administrator on my computer that shows up in the login menu as "Other…". I want to delete this account, but when I log in to my usual account, the System Administrator account doesn't show up in System Preferences. Can anyone tell me how to delete this account?
    (Btw, any tips on how to find out what the password is for the root user would be helpful. From my normal account, the new password I entered doesn't work for root, although it does in the System Administrator account.)
    Thank you!

    Hoping that we are on the same page., but sounds like what you did was enable the root user.
    Its a user that will not be seen in system preferences and should never be gotten rid of (its great for troubleshooting).
    The root user or (system administrator) is different from a User account with Administrator access.

  • Why does Windows 7 not show up in System Preference's "Startup Disk"

    Why does Windows 7, installed via Boot Camp, show up when you hold down the option key when booting but the drive does not show up in System Preferences under the Startup Disk icon.
    As an aside Windows 7 runs perfectly on my MacBook.
    - Mike

    Now I found I'm not alone. My situation is similar but not exactly the same.
    I recently switched from the white MacBook to latest mac mini, tried installing XP Pro not successful for some reasons then tried Win7 (build 7000). On my old macbook this worked perfectly.
    Got win7 updated and picked win7 as startup disk in windows, used that for few days without going back to leopard. On just one occasion I booted with 'alt' key pressed (using a PC keyboard) I have choices of drives so I thought everything was fine. As soon as I booted into leopard I found no win7 partition in system>preference>startup disk, OMG I couldn't boot back to win7 since then. From that point onwards the 'alt' key didn't work for me. Every time only leopard can be booted.
    What can I do now?
    Why it was OK in macbook but didn't work on mini? Is it worth investing on a mac external keyboard just to get the 'option' key?

    Purchased a early 2008 Mac Pro in 2010.

I download a driver from the site but the Mac would not open it. This system has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics card. What do I need to do. Do I need a new Card?

    Vista Ultimate 64-bit recognizes 8 cores. 32-bit recognizes one physical cpu.
    I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
    I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
    Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
    And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iCloud requires OS X Lion or later, so it's normal that you can't use iCloud in your MacBook Pro. You have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, and your computer is supported, so you can purchase it in the Mac App Store if you want. Make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    You have to turn on Find my iPhone on your iPhone in order to be able to track it. It means that you can't track it, so report that to the police and wait until they can find your device, if it's found. I'm sorry I can't do anything else

  • Hi, I turned my macbook pro off before I went to sleep, and this morning when I awaken. I can't seem to use the volume at all! I went to system preferences sound output BUT everything is light grey and it some-how looks like I don't have permission.

    Hi, I turned my MacBook Pro off before I went to sleep, and this morning when I awaken. I can't seem to turn up or down my volume. It comes up with all the volume bars and a little circle sign with a diagonal line in the middle, like a stop sign. I have gone to system preferences > Volume > Output BUT all my volume preferences have gone all light grey and wont let me access them.

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

  • Printer Share says that my printing is complete, but nothing printed.

    I am trying to print from an Android Razr to my 8600 Officejet using PrinterShare.  The phone says the printing is completed, but nothing printed.  I am also having a problem getting my phone Wi-Fi to communicate with my printer.

    Hi there, if you are having trouble getting your phone and printer to communicate that may explain why nothing is coming out of the prettier. I'm not familiar enough with the service you are using (Printer Share) but what might be happening is that your job request is being received but is not able to be delivered to the printer for completion.
    Can you print wirelessly to your printer from another device e.g. a laptop? Does the printer lose connection to your wireless network intermittently? The more information you can provide the more likely you are to get a solution from the Forum users. Your printer is ePrint enabled and you should be able to print to it from your Android device using HP's free ePrint Home & Biz Mobile Print app. You could try installing that on your phone and see if that solution works for you. Provided you register the phone t the ePrint service once you've installed the app you'll be able to send content to the printers email address fro printing from anywhere in the world provided the printer and the phone are connected to the internet, but not necessarily connected with each other on the same WiFi network.
    Try and rule out any fundamental problems with your printers wireless connectivity and take it from there. Post back if you're running into problems and need suggestions.
    Best of luck.
