Printer won't work wirelessly - error 30886

I just moved to a new apartment and am using my roommate's router. I connected the printer wirelessly to the internet and am able to print a test page and get info about the printer like ink levels, etc. I have a mac, went into system pref ->add a printer with the + sign and selected default printer as mine. It won't let me click add until i select a driver and when i do, it says error 30886. What does this mean? And how can I get my printer to print? I know it's connected!

Restart your Mac.
Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Printer won't work - CUPS failed

    I am trying to get my new Canon MF4890DW printer to work with Mac OS X v10.7.5 Lion to no avail. When trying to print any document (web page, or a simple TextEditor file), the printer queue pops up and it errors out with "/Library/Printers/Canon/CUPS_MF_Printer/Bins/capdftopdl failed." I have pasted the detailed logs below.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    I tried connecting the printer using USB and interestingly this time the error log showed "Sent 0 bytes" along with the "unsupported size" error message. Does it mean that some app/utility is unable to determine the document size?

  • Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu OS

    I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition and upgraded my BT broadband to Infinity on 28.12.11, using the same HomeHub3 that worked perfectly well with the old Total service.
    It doesn't work, wirelessly. I can get an apparently strong connection, but its agonisingly slow. At the same time, an ethernet connection works well, When I switch from one to the other and test the speed, I can watch the bandwidth fall away (i.e.: it isn't immediately disconnected.)
    Nobody at BT can or will help, telling me that Ubuntu is 'unsupported' (i.e.: it's my problem). I reported this problem to BT - ref: xxxxxx-xxxxxx - via its complaints form on 28.12.11, but have had no response.
    I've spent much time this past week on internet help forums. It transpies that BT has known about this issue with Ununtu for six months, but has apparently done nothing about it and cannot suggest a solution.
    Suggested workarounds from other Ubuntu users involve manually reconfiguring one's connection, but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings from N to G tech., but that only worked temporarily for me and, besides, my netbook is only a couple of year old.
    When I was sold Infinity, nobody mentioned that it doesn't work with Ubuntu. Frankly, I feel it was mis-sold as I intended to increase the bandwidth of my Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price. Not from where I sit, it isn't.
    The only solution I can see is to get BT to switch me back to their Total service, which suited me fine. I'm going to get their engineer to come back and uninstall Infinity. I will also complain to Offcom, as this situation could easily have been avoided had the BT sales person told me that Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu.

    Firstly your negotiating skills with BT are far better than mine....
    "....Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price"
    I was on BT Total BB and had to pay an extra £2 pm for Infinity and then an extra £4.75pm uplift of the calls package to give me the same anytime calls I had previously.... And had to re-start another 18month contract!!! Ohhh well.
    Right onto the problem... Webby's suggestion of making sure your on a clear or least used wireless channel is good advice.
    Here is the link to the free software http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
    Have a look at a demo,- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2kZCfYTxI
    To be honest I would move your HH3 from the Automatic setting to a fixed wireless channel as they seem to work better like that.
    If your Operating System won't work with Inssider I would then just try a different channel starting at 1 and work up... seeing how things go.
    Regarding setting your HH3 to wireless g, that is a very backward step as the most you'll get over that would be around 20Mbps depending on your distance from hub etc.
    Couple of pics comparing my speed test over wireless g and n in THIS POST.
    Another thing I would try is a wireless n USB adapter... just in case your m/c is only g 
    Links of how to identify what yours is and pictures of the difference in the "Network Sharing Centre".. 54Mbps being g and anything above is wireless n....
    Wireless n gives the best speed assuming your Infinity download IP is more than 20Mbps. Also wireless n signal is more robust penetrating walls etc.
    There are links to the type of wireless n adapters I use... Picture of one HERE, (Don't need the extender cable shown in that picture).
    wwwebber's post was very useful.-
    "I use Ubuntu on my laptop with BT Infinity & HH3 with no problems at all. BT is not at fault here - they do not support Ubuntu."
    Confirming Infinity and Unbunto do work... 
    You say ".....but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings .... but that only worked temporarily for me......"
    As changing settings worked temporarily you must have been able to log into your HH3. 
    If you really can't log in can you borrow a friends netbook running windows to get logged in perhaps? 
    Log in,- http://bthomehub.home/html/home/home.html go to Advanced settings, wireless. and change Channel settings from Automatic to a channel number then click on Apply.
    I would place your laptop near to the HH3 and move the HH3 wireless channel to a clear channel or start at channel 1.
    Try to get a good wireless n speed..... example of mine 37Mbps  over http://www.speedtest.net/
    Then when you have a reasonable speed move your laptop away... you will notice a drop over distance that's normal.
    I am 20' away from my HH3 and get 37Mbps through a plasterboard wall.
    Regarding other routers people have used http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/List-of-Routers-to-replace-Home-Hub-3/td-p/298203
    And see Ady's msg #21 and #25 in THIS THREAD.
    "'ll try the netbook in different locations over the w/e and hope from a solution from Ubuntu before remonstrating further with BT".
    Please let us know how you get on.

  • HP LaserJet printer won't work following update

    I have just installed the latest Apple update for HP Laserjet printers (9 Sept 2008), and now my HP 2605dn color LaserJet printer won't work. Most applications just quit when I try to print; MS Word just hangs at the dialog box when I press Enter.
    I can access the printer utility OK via the Print Preferences.
    Has anybody any thoughts why this should be so, and how do I proceed to get my printer working again?
    Thanks.

    OK, I have just answered (part of) my own question.
    Re-installing the HP Laserjet package has duplicated drivers for most of the HP laserjet printers in my list of drivers. If I select the second entry of the two identical appearances of the drivers for my printers, they start working again; if I select the first appearance they don't work. So now my printers are working again.
    This still doesn't explain why Software Update prompted me to re-install an already installed package. It also gives me the issue of removing all the duplicate entries from my list of drivers, unless I am prepared to live with the clutter and waste of HD space. Any thoughts about how to do this without bombing my printers again?
    Thanks.

  • Printer won't work with Mavericks

    Since downloading Mavericks, my HP printer won't work--at the office AND at home.  Please help.
    I've done everything I think was suggested from removing HP software, reseting printing, factory default of printer--everything!
    Please help!

    I guess from reading your message that Mavericks just hasn't got the drivers from HP to support this.  You don't specify what model printer you are using but I would suggest that this issue here is that either your PH printer is an old model or that you need to go looking towards the HP website and see what their responses are to providing the appropriate drivers.  You're not alone sadly and this is the problem when you move forward with the times and the ancilliary equipment you have come to rely on is no longer up to speed.  Good luck!

  • Printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
    System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

  • I need a printer that will work wirelessly with Lion os

    Please help me find an all in one printer that will work wirelessly with the new Lion OS.
    I'm on my third printer...
    Thanks

    Exactly what did you do when trying to set up the printers? Did you follow the mfr's instructions?
    I also have an Epson (Artisan 810) and it works flawlessly - both wired and wirelessly. If I remember correctly, the instructions specifically said in order to set it up wirelessly, I had to connect it via USB first and then unplugged the cable at a specific point (following the instructions). And, the instructions included having to copy the printer's  MAC address (a series of numbers and letters) from the printer display panel and enter it at my router's (Netgear) online setup site.

  • Panasonic KX-p7105 printer won't work on new mac - has disk for Mac OS 9.2

    I finally switched to a Mac and am so disappointed that my great laser printer won't work. It prints pages of gibberish. My driver disk is for an older version of mac and won't open. I get a message saying "You can't open the network setup tool because the classic environment is no longer supported." I've since searched the net for drivers and can only find windows versions. Is this hopeless? Should I return my Mac (I'm still within the 14 days and don't want to buy another laser printer).
    Any options?

    Here's what John was talking about:
    http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Panasonic-KX-P7105
    You need the 3-part hpijs driver:

    (these are standard Mac installers - .dmg disk image files)

    Hello,
    I don't think I will be able to give you any points since I am not the OP, but thank you so much for your answer.
    I had a problem accessing the iTunes Store and APP Store last night although I had wi-fi access.  AppleCare had me delete the "system configuration" folder in Preferences and everthing worked fine afterwards.
    But, this morning my printer would not print.  It's Sunday and I can't get through to Epson, so I started a search at this forum and found your response.  Sure enough, even though I did not do a software update, the trashing of the System Configuration folder removed the computer name that always shows in Sharing.
    I typed it back in and now I am able to print.  Again, thank you.
    B.

  • Color printing won't work

    This is truly vexing. First time I have encountered anything like it. Any help would be much appreciated.
    When using Acrobat X with an Epson LP-S4500 printer, the color printing won't work. It works with Acrobat Reader on another computer. I didn't think to test printing with another program on my computer. It's worked fine when I tested one page as a PDF print. It's been so long I'm not sure if the print black and white or grey-scale option is usually available but I can't image why it wouldn't be. There is no such option in my printing panel. I went into advanced settings and changed it from the default grey scale (again, have no idea why that is the default) to Adobe RGB and even though the preview shows color, the print itself still comes out in grey-scale.

    Es handelt sich hier um einen Canon iR C3080.

  • Downloaded Yosemite this AM on blind faith. Now printer won't work.

    Now printer won't work. "Epson not supported" Have a Artisan 730. In middle of job. So sick of updates that are not ready, eating my hours and hours.
    Is solution to buy a new printer? Can I "System Restore" on an iMAC and get rid of this "update"?
    I have tried to reset WiFi, rebooted, tried to reload CD setup, nothing works. Meanwhile will go plug printer into XPS One2710.

    Your printer is supported, according to OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support (Epson drivers) and About AirPrint - Apple Support (AirPrint). Don't use the cd that came with the printer to install the drivers, those are out of date.
    Delete the /Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folder, delete the printer, and then add it using AirPrint (without installing any drivers) or download the Epson drivers from Software Update or Epson Printer Drivers v2.18 for OS X.
    Hope this helps.

  • Que:  Lion upgrade -now HP Laserjet 1200 printer won't work.

    Que:  Lion and now my HP Laserjet 1200 printer won't work.  I've downloaded the appropriate driver from the Apple site and it's not on HP's list of printers that won't work with Lion - any other suggestions?

    My Laserjet 1200 works under Lion, so it is possible. I don't recall loading any special drivers for it to work, and HP doesn't have any Lion-specific drivers available.  In System Preferences, under Print and Scan, did you add the HP Laserjet 1200?  

  • Wireless Network Printer won't work

    I have my iBook and a Windows XP machine on a home wireless network. I also use a Buffalo Linkstation remote hard drive, which can also function as a Print Server. I just bought a Canon Pixma 4200 USB printer, with the intention of hooking to the print server and printing wirelessly from the iBook.
    The Windows machine prints just fine this way, but the iBook will not "see" the Canon Pixma 4200 driver. The iBook Print Setup Utility will allow me to "connect" to the linkstation printer, but only as a "generic" printer. When I try to identify the "Printer Model", only non-Canon models are listed. The printer setup utility then allows me to add the printer as a Generic, but then there is no connectivity, when I print from the iBook I get an error message to the effect that there is no connection, logon failure, etc.
    I can use all the other files on the linkstation just fine from the iBook, I just can't print. I've loaded and re-loaded the drivers from the printer's CD-ROM and also from Canon's website, nothing helps.
    Please advise if this is normal, thanks.
    ibook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Welcome to the Forum.
    I just wanted to mention that we don't use a print server at all, and we can print from our iBook wirelessly to our Canon IP3000 (which shows up on the iBook by name) without issue. All we did was turn on printer sharing on the iMac. So it is possible to do this quite simply.
    Good luck.
