Printer Trouble Since Upgrading to OS X 10.5.7

Have had no problems with my Canon Pixma IP5200 printer until immediately following upgrading to OS X 10.5.7. Anyone else have the same problem; any ideas on how to correct the problem? Have reinstalled printer driver, etc. and nothing seems to work.
Help!!!

That sounds like a major problem with the system. I would consider reinstalling OS X. See the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Can't print PDFs since upgrading to 4.0.1. It just does nothing!

Since upgrading, when I view a PDF it doesn't seem to be using Acrobat any more. It displays like a normal HTML page without the Acrobat border. When I try to print or print preview, I get nothing. The printer selection window doesn't even come up.
This happens with old PDFs I have on file that I have used all the time, so it isn't any specific PDFs - it's all of them.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

No Printer sharing since upgrading to 10.3.9

Since upgrading my ibook to 10.3.9 I can no longer print via my DSL modem network (Epson stylus 6240). Printer Sharing worked great until this upgrade. In fact, now when I do attempt to print even from the iMac (where the printer is USB connected) I find it also cannot print unless I turn off sharing and delete the printer from the printer list and then re-add it. When I say it won't print, it attempts to open the connection and relatively quickly indicates printing has been stopped (exclamation point over the printer in the dock). Any suggestions? I've tried the usual troubleshooting stuff, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc.

Canon MX700 Printer problem since upgrade to Lion.

Hi
Since upgrading to Lion every time I try to print something on my Canon MX700 networked printer I get a communication error. I found that what I have to do to get it to work is to print the document a second time and then delete the first document in the printer queue. This pauses the printer and when it is resumed the second document prints successfully.
Anyone else have this problem or can anyone shed any light on what might be wrong?
Scanning seems to work OK.
Many Thanks

you need to upgraded canon MX700 that's support Lion.
you can download updated driver from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_s eries/pixma_mx700#DriversAndSoftware
But remember, you should trash the BJPrinters folder, located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon. This action to uninstall driver canon MX700 that's installed on your mac

Problem Printing PDFs since upgrading to Lion

Since upgrading to Lion on two machines (macbook pro 2011 and imac 2010) I have had a HP CM2320 and a HP M2727 produce the following error whilst printing from Preview PDF documents:
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/cgpdftops failed
The PDF documents are many but here is an example,
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26737363/Modified%20contract%20Causing%20error%20in%20pr int.pdf
The only way I can print is to print using Generic PCL printer driver. Gereic Postscript also causes the problem.
The problem doesn't occur when printing from Snow Leopard.

I went to the page of your link: Safari 5 without plugins displayed the pdf page perfectly.
Then I saved as.. to the desktop.
Then I opened it with preview, printed pefectly.
Closed Preview and opened it in Adobe Reader (I do not use Acrobat): printed perfectly.
I don not have a HP printer but I tried it on Canon Multifunctionals.
So I conclude: it is not Safari (or a plugin), it is not the document itself, it has to do with the HP driver(s) probably.

PDF printing problems since upgrading to OS Lion

Since upgrading to Lion, when I print to a PDF, the Adobe PDF printer pops up as normal and seems to print, but the PDF is no where to be found. This happens when I print from Illustrator, Word, Safari, Mail... Anyone else having this same problem? Any solutions?

Printing issues since upgrade to Mac OS 10.6.7

Hello,
since I upgraded to Version 10.6.7, my Canon LBP3100 doesn't print black writing anymore. Everything else just like printing pictures works fine. Reinstalling the printer's driver didn't help and the printer used to work before I upgraded Mac OS 10.6.7...
Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix this issue? I find this to be pretty ridiculous, they better work on getting this problem fixed because I really don't feel like downgrading or using programs like printtherapy in order to restart the cups-printer-service every time after restarting my macbook....
Thanks for your help in advance!

Canon released an updated CAPT driver to resolve this issue. You can obtain v3.31 via this link. Before installing this latest version, delete the print queue in Print & Fax (select the printer and press the minus button) and then open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon and trash the CAPT folder. With this removed you can now run the new v3.31 installer and then add the printer again.

Printing Problems since upgrading to 10.5.6

We are having problems printing since updating to 10.5.6
1. We have a HP5000 black & white printer and when we print to it straight from InDesign CS3 it will enlarge the the job. We have to make a pdf then print from Acrobat. (We are connected by Appletalk)
2. We have a Xerox 6060 Color machine and we cannot print to it either. IT doesn't enlarge it but it just errors out.
I found a way to go around these problems which was to connect by "Bonjour" to a computer that has not been updated yet. Then we can print correctly but at sometime we will have to update that computer then we won't be able to print.
Has anyone else had these problems and/or has anyone found a solution????
Thanks for the help!

Will not print web pages or show them on print preview since upgraded to ver 4.0

when I try to print or click print preview I see a blank screen or just the first line at the top. When I click print I get a blank page.

I ran into same problem when I could not clear the print queue of my neighbor's Photosmart C5580 and had to reinstall the HP softwares. This happened serveral times when he printed email pages which contained embedded content. The problem started after he installed IE9. Reverting back to IE8 "fixed" the problem; that is the problem does not occur with IE8. Also, found out from colleague that Norton support recomends uninstalling IE9 in these situations.

Printer idle since upgrading to 10.7.2 on macbook pro

My work uses a Toshiba eS451c copier/printer to print documents. I've installed the latest drivers from the Toshiba web site but I still can't print from any application. The printer just comes up as idle. I tried to pause and restart but the idle status remains. I've input the necessary code when asked and reinstalled the driver twice. Has anyone had this problem and how did you resolve it?
Thanks.

Yes I tried to add the printer through the system preferences already. It sets up fine but the status remains idle no matter what i change.

Microsoft Office 2008 crashes when printing since upgrading to Yosemite

Ever since upgrading my Macbook Pro (late 2009) to OS X Yosemite I'm having trouble with Microsoft Office 2008. Whenever I try to print from any of the Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), the program will crash and the file will not print. I am still able to print from other programs (Safari, Preview, etc...). And aside from this I'm having no other issues with the Office programs. So at the moment I'm reducing to having to save files as a PDF and then printing from Preview. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

I'm not sure if the printer driver is updated, it usually does that automatically...
That sounds magical but I have never had printer drivers automatically update themselves. After your upgrade to Yosemite, did you setup your printer using Print & Scan in System Preferences?
...office programs are the only ones crashing when I try to print, so wouldnt that indicate an Office issue rather than a printer driver issue?
No, not necessarily. See thread "microsoft office crashes when trying to print."
If you believe the your problem is an "Office issue" then you might try the Microsoft forum.

Can only print one copy at a time in AppleWorks since upgrading to Tiger

Since upgrading to Tiger 10.4.3, (now using version10.4.6) and AppleWorks 6.2.9, I cannot print more than one copy of my document using either of my Epson printers, a R200 and a C86. I did not have this problem with Panther and AW 6.
Apple techs said to reinstalled AW, did not help. Then did a complete archive and reinstall of Tiger, no help, then created a new preference folder, no help.
I found by trial and error that my Grammarian spell and grammar program by Linguisoft uses an input method to be active in order to correct AW documents. I sent them an email and their reply was, this is a bug in Mac OS X 10.4.x (all versions as of Nov, 2005) Specifically, if an input method is active, you will be unable to edit the number of copies or page range values in the dialog versions of Print and Page Setup. This is not a problem in the sheet versions of Print and Page Setup.
Certain older applications still use these dialogs (i.e., AppleWorks) instead of the more appropriate sheet equivalents. To clarify the difference, the sheet versions are "attached" to the actual document you are printing (take a look at, say, TextEdit), while the dialog versions appear modally in front of all document windows in applications that use them.
I wrote a three page letter to Apple and received a call from them, it seems that for now no upgrades to correct this problem is in the works, so for now I will have to make my corrections to all documents that I am working on, then change the input method in Grammarian and print my copies, then go back and make Grammarian active again.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem or am I the only one?

Hello DaisyMay,
You're quite welcome. Very glad to hear it helped!
Yet I'd like to mention the true ones of merit are the contributors of the original Japanese thread. I've just summarized and translated a bit.
Regarding why it takes so long to fix this bug/flaw, I suspect that it is because it won't affect the majority of American users who do not use input method at all, and besides, it seemingly affects only Carbon API, that Apple Computer Inc. is liable to neglect lately.
However, input method is a vital piece in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages, and any other languages that use more than 256 characters, and also quite a few Carbon applications are still in service, so for us (Japanese, e.g.), this bug/flaw is quite unacceptable.
It's new for me to know a non-CJK program, Grammarian, uses input method. Now I understand you'd see this bug/flaw unacceptable as well!
At least one of the contributors of Japanese thread said he let Apple Computer Japan know this problem via official telephone support channel. Also other said that Ergosoft Corp., the maker of EGWord, stated that this is a known-issue of OSX10.4 and they can do nothing but wait for Apple to fix it. Ergosoft has been specialized to Macintosh platform since 1984, so it's quite unlikely they had not reported this problem to Apple via developer channel.
After all, I think Apple knows this problem, whether a bug or a flaw.
Well, possibly, it might not be sufficient for an end-user to point out the problem via Apple's telephone support channel...
In such case, you may try this form -
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
In my humble opinion, they should shortly fix this, and meanwhile they should promptly publish the user-proposed work-around methods as a Knowledge Base article.
Have beautiful May,

I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan

Hi Everybody,
I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan. How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

Cannot do wireless printing to HP Photosmart C7180 since upgrading to Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit

     I recently upgraded one of my new HP p6150t Pavillion PCs from Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Since then I have not been able to print to my networked printer, an HP Photosmart C7180 All-in-One, which is wireless on my home network. When this PC was Vista, I was able to print. Two other PCs on my home network, both running XP, can access the printer across the network and print. This PC now running Windows 7 64-bit can find the networked printer when I "Add-a-printer", and I am able to finish the installation of the printer.
     I downloaded and installed new drivers for the HP C7180 from the HP website specifically for Windows 7 64-bit, so I have the latest drivers. (The version of the drivers is 13.1.0, date is 10-2009. From the same HP printer driver download site, I also installed " HP Print Software Patch When Upgrading Vista to Windows 7".
     I do not want to install the printer as a shared device on any of the other PCs, but rather want to be able to print from any of them, direct wirelessly, even if the other PCs are offline. And I was able to do this when I used Vista...
     If I open and leave visible the print queue for the printer, and then print a Test Page, I see the print job briefly shown as "Spooling" and then as "Printing" in the print queue display, but nothing ever reachs the printer. There are no error messages, either during the process of Adding the Printer, or when sending Test Pages, or other print jobs to the printer.
     I have McAfee antivirus and Firewall installed on all of my PCs. The Firewall advanced setting for Networks shows that the IP address range for all of my IPs are trusted.
    [Although I just bought this PC from hp.com only 4 months ago, as part of a package of 2 PCs, a MediaSmart server, big hdtv monitor, and all with 4 year extended support agreements, HP provides "NO" support for network printing. That was what a support specialist called to tell me after I sent an email to the HP CEO. HP PCs, HP printer, HP provided upgrade kit for Windows 7, but if you want to actually print from your HP PC to your HP printer, there is "NO" support. (I worked for HP for ten years, but it is clearly a different company now.) So, if anyone in the Community can assist, I would very much appreciate it.]

I have a year old Epson and an HP.. I upgraded to a win 7 64 bit and doing some sharing/networking.. Got some 32 bit XPand two win 7 64 bit.. The Epson ,shares and connects up with no issues.. the HP is just a fiasco... No more HP for me ...

My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade. What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical. Thank you

My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade. What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical. Thank you

I totally agree. I just wasted .5 hrs trying to figure out how to manipulate and sync the reminders with the iCAl. Thanks for posting this thread online, I can stop wasting my time now. Apple, please change it back or make these apps sync.
Side note. I was creating my to do list and found the ability to asign a date by draging the task to the calendar in the bottom right. Then I discovered that I can drag that same reminder/to-do task into iCal and it will be created as an event. Would be great if I could simply sync the reminders to iCal instead of draging them over though. Then when I make the change in one the other can update with the next sync. This also prevents human error if I drag and drop the reminder onto the wrong date in iCal.
