Printer wakes OSX - annoying !

My plugged Printer wakes up OS X after a second of sleeping.
When the mac goes into sleep after a second it wakes up. The cause is the plugged printer.
When unplugging the printer the mac stays asleep.
Thats really annoying because that never happend before!
I only tryed to share my printer in the network with Windows XP.
This never worked, I don't know why.
After getting tired of sharing my printer I set al adjustments back.
Since this, the printer wakes the mac.....
I've tried everything I found in discussions but nothing worked.
I deleted plists, repaired filepermissions, installed combo update 10.4.11 again .... nothing worked
Thats really annoying me and I'm not willing to unplug the printer everytime I put the mac into sleep, because it worked before!
Please help me !
Something abot my hardware:
iMac G5 (without iSight)
OS X 10.4.11 (with all updates)
Canon Pixma iP4000 (USB, Driver Version 4.1.9)

Considering you did not state what version of OS X you insgtalled it's a little tough to help you out. I'd start by using the Reset Printing System feature

So yeah...
I'm totally stumped now.
I feel like I've tried every method imaginable, but still no luck.
Printing from OSX 10.6.8 works just FINE.
On the server side, I'm running Windows Server 2008... there's only a local admin and a local user account.
Clients running OSX Lion 10.7.2 -- All updated.
Printer is an HP LaserJet P4010-4510 series.
Workstation is an iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2009
3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Please help!!!
--- Richard

LPD print service is not enabled by default in Server 2008. It can be enabled via the Print Serveer role, but I am remote and cannot confirm the exact setting.
As for SMB, the error log is showing;
Failed to connect to "smb://<username>:<password>@utlab-prsrv-02/"
So it would suggest that there is still an issue with the account detail you are using as you show you have tried this syntax at one stage. If you want to continue to create the queue using SMB rather than LPD then I recommend using the CUPS web page (http://127.0.01:631) to create the queue. This will allow you to enter the syntax exactly as the error message shows. From previous testing I found it was okay to just use the account name rather than domain/account name on a domain bound server.

Why does my computer restart when trying to print? OSX 10.8.3 epson 2200

I seem to have a problem on my macpro 3,1 3ghz, osx10.8.3 computer when i try to print. When clicking print in any program, it will automatically restart my computer. I've tried resetting the printer settings in system preferences, and when clicking plus to add the printer, it will restart again. The printer is an epson 2200.
I've downloaded the huge printers driver files again, and still nothing. Also tried to fix permissions and that didnt help.
Everything was working fine printing before osx 10.8.3.
Any help would be great.

On the phone today with Senior Apple Tech guys for ovber an hour. I have a case number. They said they hope to have something by Saturday.
I will keep this forum posted if and when I get anything.
In the meantime USB is working just fine.
BTW, spoke with 2 Epson techs and they both said basically talk to Apple, and as far as they knew Apple wasn't supporting Fireire any longer.
It is true that the new machines do not have FW ports. Never the less, the printers were all fine on 10.8.2 and FW so obviously there was a slipup somewhere.
I have had Macs since day one. I consult quite a few photographers and architects on their computers.
In the last several years there have been very few problems, and none that I recall that brought down the whole system.
The old days, yes, but this really startled me. To say nothing of the promised print job I was starting!
Keep the faith that Apple will fix this, and quickly!

Postscript printed via OSX is not recognised by OS 8.5 HQ print controller

We have a HQ printer that is controlled by a G3 running OS8.5.
We used to print via Quark4 on Classic, a postscript file and then pass it over to a hot folder on the OS8.5 machine where the postscript was recognised by HQ printer controller.
Since we have moved on to Quark6.5, printing through OSX print centre,
the postscript produced now is't recognised by HQ print controller, we need to do this for different hot folders.
However the file produced when printing direct to the spooler is recognised.
Q. what has happened to the postscript for it not to be recognised.
G5 dual Mac OS X (10.3.9)

sorry, just saw that i was accidently in the snow leopard section....i reposted under the correct section. here's the link.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12340796#12340796
sorry for the inconvenience, i was looking at other posts using search and didn't realize that i was reading the 10.6 board.
thanks again!!

Looking for a good laser printer for OSX 10.6.8

I need a decent laser printer. Using Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8. I've given up trying to get the drivers to work on our office Xerox Workcentre 7328. I keep getting the "OTC at end of life" error and I'm sick of trying to download drivers and try this and that. All I need is to print text. I will buy a separate scanner for scanning pictures (any recommendations on that as well?). I have been seeing issues with Lion and with our Xerox troubles, I'm a little gun shy now. I was considering the Brother Printer HL2230 I saw on Amazon.
Does anyone have other recommendations or experiences to share? As far as the scanner goes, I'm looking for something for less than $100 if possible. This would be mostly for scanning pictures to put into slide shows. I found this one, also on Amazon: Epson Perfection V300 Photo Scanner (B11B193081)
Opinions?
Jason

If you want to avoid any trouble in the future with new versions of OS X then as Bob has suggested the best action is to get a laser printer that supports Postscript. Looking at the specs for that Brother, it is a GDI device, meaning that may have rely on Brother producing an updated driver if the current driver does not work on the new OS. Now if you are not likely to update when the new cat is released then you should be fine. And there is also a chance that the current drivers will work. But Postscript support does future proof your printer, although it will cost more than $80 which is very cheap. If you do get that Brother make sure you also get the high yield toner cartridge which is a separate purchase. The starter cartridges included with the printers generally have a quarter of the toner that a full cartridge has.
As for the scanner, I've read good reviews about that Epson so it looks like a winner.

Has anyone successfully gotten an HP Color Laserjet 2600n to print from OSX Lion?

I have it installed by IP address with the drivers that Apple Update provided. When I send a print job to it, the status shows that it's connected and printing and the little sideways barber pole is screwing away, but the job never prints. As a matter of fact, the printer never even starts its warm-up cycle. Has anyone gotten this printer to work on a bone stock OSX Lion 10.7 image? This iMAC 27 is brand-freakin-new.
I have absolutely no printing issues from any of the 5 (cringe) - Windows 7 machines in the house.
Thanks for looking. I hope to have some helpful response soon.

KJameZzZ179 and PAHU - I appreciate you guys taking the time out of your busy schedules to help me. I pinged the printer and it replied. I pulled up its web interface and the gateway and subnet settings matched the settings on my iMac. I opened a PDF and sent it to the printer successfully. I don't know what the hold up was, and while I am glad that I can print now, I am equally disappointed that I wasn't able to find the root of the problem so we could provide an answer to anyone else in the future that might have had the same problem. Thanks again for your responses and willingness to help.

Officejet Pro 8500 Premier won't print (Mac OSX 10.6)

The printer is detected by my computer and is able to interact with it, but it refuses to print. I restored factory settings with no luck. I downloaded the HP software/drivers for my laptop, ran setup, everything worked...still won't print. Any ideas please!?!
Thanks!

Hi Stonesp85,
Is there any error message pops out on printer front panel or on the PC?
Are you able to print out any self-test page like Product Status Report or Network configuration page ( in Setup -> Reports)?
this is just a quick test for your printer hardware.
to fully validate you printer hardware, I suggest you download "HP Hardware diagnostic Utility" in below link and run it:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/ccdoc/h...
if there is no problem found on printer hardware, please make sure that you installed the right driver, below is the link for the printer driver on Mac OSX 10.6:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-85024-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
Hope it helps you.

Unable to Delete Older Printing Presets -- Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer with OSX v10.6.4

I find that, after upgrading to the latest Officejet Pro 8000 A809 (989005) printer driver, I am not able to delete Presets that were created with earlier versions of the Apple/HP supplied printer driver. I am using OSX v10.6.4 and v2.0.3 of the HP Printer Driver.
When I try to print from an application the Presets that had been previously created appear on the menu, but 'Delete" is not available as an option for any of those older Presets.
If I create a new Preset, it appears in a section of the menu listing below the Presets created by earlier versions, and the Delete option is available to remove any Presets made with v2.0.3 of the driver.
I would like to delete the earlier Presets, since are no longer necessary given the changes that have been introduced in the latest versions of the HP printer driver.

If you have HP software for pre-10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option. Also, you do not need the hp software at all - both print and scan drivers are built into the OS. I'd recommend uninstalling, but make sure to do it this way:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

Disk drive check on wake up--annoying noise

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any clue on how to stop my Macbook from automatically checking whether I have a disk inserted in the disk drive every time it wakes up. It makes the same sound as when a disk is ejected. While not a huge problem, it has gotten quite annoying, especially when I'm trying to be quiet.
I know that an extreme solution is to remove the disk drive, but there must be another way. The new Macbook Pro's, for example, don't make any noise when waking up.
Alternatively, is my problem something that other Macbook owners also experience?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Jake

I second that opinion, older Pros (like mine) do it too!

Trying to share an XP printer in OSX

Hi,
Been messing with this for a while.
I've got a Canon MP160 that is connected to an XP machine via USB. The XP is connected to the wifi router, as is the iMac.
I've set the workgroup the same in the WINS section. I can get files off the machine, and I can add the printer.
So the printer is setup in OSX and when I select Print, it says Printing, then it will say complete. But there is nothing happening on the other end. I can print from XP just fine.
I have a feeling it is possibly a driver issue, as when I have to select a driver, there is no option for Canon, so I have to select "Generic Postscript Printer" ... I downloaded a DMG from Canon that is the driver package for the printer... it apparently installed but I don't know where the driver file is, so I can select it?
Arggghhhh...
Cheers for your help.

Solved with the classical shut down - re-start.

Printing from OSX in Classic Environment 9.1 software on OSX based printers

Is it possible to load OSX on my Powerbook G3 and print OS 9.1 based applications with a printer designed to run only on OSX? I want to keep my OS 9 applications, run in the classic environment, but is this worth the possible troubles? New printers are only compatible with OSX!
Powerbook G3 Mac OS 9.1.x

Is it possible to load OSX on my Powerbook G3 and
print OS 9.1
I'd use 9.2.2 if I were you. 9.22 works better in Classic. Which PowerBook G3 do you have? Early ones can't run OS X beyond 10.2.8 without 3rd-party hacks, such as XPostFacto. Some not-so-early ones can't go beyond 10.3.9 without 3rd-party hacks, such as XPostFacto. Later models can run Tiger.
based applications with a printer
designed to run only on OSX?
I've never tried, but... in Tiger it might be possible because Apple changed the way Classic prints. In Tiger, Classic prints as if the printer was a laser printer using LaserWriter 8. The LW8 driver hands off the print job to the OS X printer, which then prints normally. (Yes, even color inkjets.) I suppose that this should work even if there is no OS 9 printer installed... but I haven't tried it. If it doesn't work, well, there's not much that will be done about it at this late date.
OS X before Tiger pretty much will require that Classic have working drivers. I had mixed experience getting printers to work in Classic before Tiger. In Tiger it's very simple.
I want to keep my OS 9
applications, run in the classic environment, but is
this worth the possible troubles?
This depends on how much printing you do from OS 9/Classic.
New printers are
only compatible with OSX!
Some new printers are OS X-only. Many still ship with OS 9 drivers. How much longer this will be true is not known, but is not likely to be long. If I had to print using OS 9, I would buy a printer I know works with OS 9 and is likely to last a while. Hint: this is unlikely to be a cheap printer. Second hint: I would do this quickly. Third hint: I'd think very, very, VERY hard about replacing as many OS 9 apps with OS X apps as I could. The end of OS 9/Classic, as an officially supported Apple technology, is in sight. OS 9 has not been able to run from new Macs for years now, and if Apple keeps its promise to move its entire line to Intel by the end of the year, then soon there will no longer be new Macs which can run Classic, either. There may/may not be a 3rd-party solution which allows OS 9 or something resembling Classic to run on Intel, but I'm not holding my breath. Furthermore, I suspect that OS X 10.5 will be the last OS X version to support Classic, even on PPC.

InDesign CS3 crashes when printing in OSX Lion

I installed OSX Lion today and when I try to print from InDesign or Illustrator CS3 applications crash before the print dialogue window appears. Everything I do as a designer goes through InDesign so I really need to solve this problem!

Andy, I suspect you did not do it correctly, it should decode to something, even if it is nonsensical.
Meanwhile, jobbydesign's crash reports are a bit more intelligable, since they have symbols:
They're both in basically the same place:
Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0   com.apple.CoreFoundation           0x95660a69 CFURLCreateStringWithFileSystemPath + 265

7   com.adobe.InDesign.Print           0x15cd0567 GetPlugIn + 455687
That is, the crash is in CFURLCreateStringWithFileSystemPath(). That's vaguely encouraging, I guess.
See the Apple CFUrl reference. Of course, it doesn't tell you why it is crashing. Well, and I guess the problem is in CFUrlCopyFileSystemPath(), which has fewer arguments, just a CFURL object and a style. Of course, this probably means that the AGM library is passing it an invalid CFURL.
I don't know why that would be...I guess you might be better off posting at https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion.
I'm really not sure.
Sorry guys.

Adobe Reader prints incorrectly, OSX Preview prints correctly?!

I was wondering if anyone could help us out with some insights into a problem which occurred recently when printing some large, combined PDFs, some of which ran to several hundreds of pages in length.
The PDFs were combined from three main sources:
PDFs we’d produced ourselves from InDesign 5.5 to “Pass4Press” / PDF 1.4 specifications.
PDFs saved from Microsoft Word 2010 using the “Save as PDF” command.
PDFs supplied by the client - I suspect these were produced either from Microsoft Word or via the “Save as PDF” command on a printer/scanner.
We used an up-to-date postscript driver and printed to something like a Canon 7100 printer using Adobe/Acrobat Reader. The stuff we printed from InDesign was fine (as I expected it to be, this is the spec I send my PDFs to commercial printers with and I’ve never had a problem with it). Sometimes the text from the Word-generated ones would print as a series of boxes and other times the same file would print correctly with no problems (the font used was either Arial or Arial Narrow), whilst the ones from the client would always print incorrectly in places as a series of symbols. I don’t know what font they used (or how it was embedded) but it looked like Arial and the files came from France (we were printing in England) so maybe their font glyphs are different?
Opening up a couple of the files in Illustrator revealed no problems with the font. We could print from Adobe Reader using a slower, rasterized driver (which was sooooooo slow we would have missed the deadline) but the funny thing was if we opened the same files using Mac OSX 10.6’s “Preview” programme and printed via the wickedly-fast postscript driver, everything came out perfectly!
I know that I haven’t provided much in the way of specific, detailed information but would anyone have a general idea of what was going on? I suspect that it was something to do with the fonts not being embedded properly and Preview being more tolerant of this issue than Reader? That said, Adobe Reader is meant to be the blue-ribband application for PDF viewing and printing so presumably it should be more versatile than a scaled-down imitation product which comes free with every Mac? Would anyone be able to suggest a way of heading this off at the pass in the future? Please bear in mind that some of the files were supplied to us by our client, an engineering firm who would see supplying correctly-formatted PDFs as a non-issue, they just hand over whatever comes out of the machine, so ensuring that the PDFs have been encoded correctly at source is not really an option that’s open to us in this case.
As always, thanks in advance for any and all advice offered.

Just as a further note to this, something along similar lines has just happened.
A work collegue printed the PDF located at:
http://marketforce.eu.com/Conferences/nuclearnewbuild12/Brochure/
The text printed largely as a series of "y"s and full stops (periods). I printed the same file to a different machine (same make and model) from both Preview on the Mac and Reader 8 on a Windows XP PC and the result was perfect both times!
Would anyone have any general tips on how to troubleshoot PDFs so we can spot in advance if things like this might happen and also can anyone shed any light on if these kind of problems can sometimes be caused by a printer and/or its driver rather than the PDF itself? I looked at the Preflight options in Acrobat for the first time ever this morning and the range of options contained within seemed a little overwhelming for a newcomer.
Cheers,
NA

Adobe Reader doesn't print, but OSX preview works

Hi,
Since I received my Mac I installed adobe reader and was not able to print PDF, but yesterday I open the PDF file with OSX Preview functionality and I was able to print. What a surprise.
I'm connected to the printed using Bonjour.
Has any of you found this problem?
Thhanks,

Hello,
Since no replies yet, have you tried Restting the Printing System & adding the Printer again?
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
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+++

Dot Matrix Printer for OSX

What Dot Matrix printers are supported in OSX? Any OkiData's or Epsons? Thanks

No others included in OS X that I know of. I understand that problem with the included drivers (You find them under ESP instead of Epson) is that they don't reset correctly to the top of the form - so printing labels probably doesn't work. You should try it for yourself.

Printer wakes OSX - annoying !
