Printers not listed after printer profile installed

I've been enrolling a number of Macs in Profile Manager and trying to push printer configs out to the Macs. It seems to work well enough - the clients receive the printers and are able to print. But with the printer profile installed, no printers are listed in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners. I can see that the printers are present from the lpstat command and if I open a document or webpage and try to print, all printers are listed and usable. As soon as I remove the printer profile, printers are once again visible. This is happening on all client computers.
I have tried resetting the print system on clients (both through the UI and by just replacing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and other similar files with their defaults), and this problem still occurs. I've also removed all profiles (including trust profile and enrollment profile) from clients, removed the computer from the server's config, removed printer profiles on the server, and then tried re-adding and re-applying a brand new profile. Still no luck. Even a brand new client with a brand new profile ends up with its printers being hidden in the System Preferences UI.
I suspect there must be something wrong on the server rather than on the clients, perhaps some file that I need to replace with default config, though I don't really know where to start looking.
Any ideas? All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have actually seen this as well but have no clue what causes this issue. It's annoying because I have also seen this happen where it will hide local printers.

Printers Not Listed in Printer Setup Utility Dialog

I am trying to install an Epson stylus CX4800 All in One
Scanning and Copying OK.
Downloaded and installed epson11766.dmg
The drivers show up in the Library Folder but not in the add printer dialog
I'd be grateful for any help, advice and or suggestions etc
Thank You in advance

I am having the same problem, with different wrinkle.
My Lexmark Z54 is normally connected to a PC, and I want to print over the network. I could find the printer, but could not get the printer driver to install this way. I finally undid everything, connected my printer to Mac by USB, and successfully (with glitches) got the printer working.
So, I reconnected the printer to the PC, found it over the network, and tried to tell Mac what driver to use. But the printer is STILL not listed in the pick-box, and I cannot figure out how to select the driver by looking through folders.
I have used PCs since before Windows existed, and am having a lot of troubles with Apple. This simple task is one of them.

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

Tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance

I tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance.
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion - but I eventually tried again and was able to contact via "chat" to someone qualified to help. The problem was that in my existing "bridge" - preference was (I think by default) - checked to startup in background on Login. I did not realize this - because I don't think I set it that way in the first place (maybe I did a few years ago) - and I could not see anything in task manager to suggest that bridge was running an application or any process - but when I learned this - I was successful in installing PS CS6.
Yes, I'm still not on solid ground re: whether or not I want to change from "owning" the tool or renting it -- what concerns me is that is sounds like regardless of users wishes, Adobe is headed in this direction and will eventually make it financially more feasible to go that route. At the moment I think they are "asking" for everyone to get on their bandwagon, but who knows. They have a powerful set of tools, that they continue to support and advance - and along with those development and support costs, they also would like to make a profit - so I understand if their past marketing model is no longer sufficient.
Thanks again.

Queue Based printers stopped working after Zen 7 installed

We have just installed Zenworks 7 suite. We have Windows XP machines with new Novell client and zfdagent. We have a policy setup and users can login and receive their applications but they can not print. All over our printers have Queues, Servers and Printer Objects listed in Console1. Each classroom has two printers. When the user checks the printer in Printer and Faxes it is listed but the port are not listed. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks

When the user does a right click over the printer and selects Properties. On the Properties window go to the Ports tab. On this tab the port for the printer should be listed as \\severname\printer. If you login locally you can see this printer and print to it. When you login using your network credentials you can see the printers but not printer to them. One of the printers says unable to connect. The other says nothing, but still will not print.

Finder not responding after Archive and install

I recently encountered my first problem ever with my mac(new in '05) This is the first mac I have owned; I have worked on G3's and G4's in the past. After reading through many message boards and support pages I don't believe my problem to be similar but different to previous posts.
My problem started off with an OS problem that I was able to diagnose in the "help" book I purchased when Leopard came out. It said I should Archive and Install to remedy the problem and keep my files. I ran the archive the install (it gave me no options to preserve user or network settings). After Archive and install my computer started up alright, but I got the permanent beachball and the finder does not work. it is constantly non responsive. I can relaunch finder, but after it restarts it goes non responsive immediately once again. So I can't actually access my "previous system" folder to move anything over. I checked my dock items and finder, they opened, but my itunes asked for an update. I list of update items came up; I did the non-restart items first. they updated fine, (my itunes old itunes playlists are viewable but not playable now) then I did the items that required a restart. That is when I found out that I could not shut down or restart my computer with std. procedures.
Currently I can only access my spotlight or apple pull down menu if I am in a functioning dock program (safari or itunes, quicktime. etc.) after reading some more support pages it looked like the common thing to do was check permissions and verify disk. I did, I repaired two permissions and the disk was OK. I did look at the HD files, they were as I remembered, but unaccessible (greyed out) and the "previous system" folder was present. +It didn't look like I would expect. The HD looked same as it used to just with a previous system folder.+ After checking the permissions and verified the disk I tried a hard restart. It came back the same as before, unresponsive finder and only the few dock items worked along with spotlight. I checked permissions and disk verify again and everything was OK.
Sorry to be long winded I am trying to be thorough...In short, My finder does not work after doing an Archive and Install to fix my original problem (which has been fixed)...the remedy for an unresponsive finder is to do an archive and install. Is another archive and install really going to fix my problem? Can I archive and install OSX 10.4 and work my way back up to 10.5.6?
Secondly is there a way to restart my computer without doing another hard restart?

It won't let me add a new account. I am locked out and when I try to unlock it gives me the beachball and becomes non responsive after it tries to authenticate.
I looked at the log file, I am not sure what exactly to look for. I am no programer. I see an awful lot of negative wording. I see some errors like "error (-4956) locating menu extra but they are mostly under system preferences...I see some stuff in the loginwindow that says is not a full path... Otherwise, the only reference I see to the finder is when I have force quit the finder.

Response.Redirect not working after printing CR

Using Visual Studio 2010 sp1 with Crystal for VS 2010. Web app running as a web application in x86 mode using .NET 4.0 framework.
I recently created a CR with a sub-report and it previews and prints just fine. However, after I PRINT the report, my code behind in the ASPX file is not recognized and thus fails.
For example, I created a 'Back' button to redirect the CR aspx back to the calling aspx file and it works just fine if I only view the report. If I click on the printer icon located on the report viewer toolbar, the button stops working. In fact, none of the code behind syntax is recognized and the aspx file just does a page_load.
I know this code works because it does work if I DON"T print the report:
    protected void btnBack_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        Response.Redirect("~/NewCase.aspx");
I also have a 'Submit' button that changes the data parameters for the report and it works great but after I print the report, it will not work either.   (I've tried to upgrade to sp2 but I get an error with the installation process... so still trying to figure that out.)
    protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        CrystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
To summarize, All the code I listed works fine if I do not try to print the report and just view it. After I click the printer icon, the code stops being recognized and the aspx page just refreshes.
I've searched for help on the web for a couple of days to no avail; so I am thinking it must be some issue with the report viewer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Paul

Flash plug-in not listed in the Safari installed plug-ins page

Dear all,
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a Intel Imac and I'm facing the same problem since the first time I wanted to upgrade the version 10 of the Flash plug-in.
I have different accounts and various internet browsers (Safari, FireFox, Opera, Chrome) only Safari, on my main account (admin), causes problems. Actually the plug-in (10.3) is properly installed in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/, so common to all accounts (the users' Internet Plug-Ins folders are empty) and it is visible from the System Preferences application.
Internet Plug-Ins folder content:
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
CANONiMAGEGATEWAYDL.plugin
CANONiMAGEGATEWAYLI.plugin
DirectorShockwave.plugin
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
npContributeMac.bundle
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
Quartz Composer.webplugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin
But Safari doesn't lists the flash plug-in in the installed plug-ins page and returns a missing plug-in error message as I visit any website containing a flash movie. When I replace the current plug-in with version 10.0.r2 it works fine.
Before installing any upgrade I first run the uninstaller, restart the computer and then install the newest version. I tried many things to fixe this very annoying problem without success. I'm not going to list all of them but I mainly cleared Safari and Flash Player preferences, Safari Cache.db, removed all other plug-ins (to check for conflicts). I also used some tools as Apple Disk utily and OnyX to repair disk permissions and fix other possible problems.
I would be very grateful if you could help me!

Hello Chris,
Any other suggestions? Because this story drives me crazy !
I don't know if it matters, but Flash CS4 is installed on my Mac.
Event if it doesn't make sense I tried to clear any file related to the flash plug-in, Flash Player and Safari
Safari:
com.apple.Safari.plist
Cache.db
Flash:
~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
com.macromedia.Flash Player Debugger.app.plist
Flash Player Debugger_00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB846CCB_CrashHistory.plist
Flash Player_00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB846CCB_CrashHistory.plist
com.adobe.flash-10.0.plist
Flash 10 MRU
flashplayer.xpt
I have uninstall Flash Player Debugger and the Flash Plugin
removed all plug-ins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Replaced all previous versions of Flash player by the latest version (10.3r183)
I ran all OnyX maintenance scripts and repaired disk permissions
After restarting the computer I installed the plug-in and replaced all previous plug-in version everywhere
e.g. : /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player/Flash Player.plugin
Restarted again and then launched Safari. The plugin is well in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, but not listed in installed plug-ins list
I repeated this "procedure" several time, from different accounts, I also removed the admin rights on the problematic account and perform the installation from a new admin account without success!
I can drop any plug-in in the Internet Plug-Ins folder and I only have to refresh the the Installed Plug-ins page in order that Safari takes it into account. All, but the flash plug-in!
I really do no understand why Safari can't "see" newer plug-ins than the 10.0 version.
I'm lost and ran out of ideas!

Why are applications not listed in System Profiler?

Hi Apple Support Community,
System Profiler -> Software -> Applications displays "No information found." instead of the expected list of 64bit / 32bit applications installed. What could cause this and how can I get System Profiler to rescan the applications installed?
Thank you,
System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Kernel Version:          Darwin 10.8.0
64-bit Kernel and Extensions:          Yes

Discussion thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11077939 suggests Applications are not displayed in System Profiler because I purposefully disabled Spotlight for performance reasons and the indexing of external drives.

Printers not working after upgrading from windows 8 to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

did the upgrade from win 8 to win 8.1 pro 64bit.
Printers were working fine but now are not recongnised and the spooler is not starting.
I reset the spooler on numerous occasions to no avail and ive downloade the latest drivers for the printer but no luck.
Please assist asap.
I have a canon lbp 2900 and a hp officejet 6500

I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written. Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable. Since IE9 there have been new .dll involving printing
which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools. However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
unreliable techniques. E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.) For example.

L3 Cache disabled, non-functional or not listed in system profiler?

I have a 15" 1 ghz powerbook G4 titanium, and for as long as I can remember, the 1 MB L3 Cache it's supposed to have is not listed in the system profiler. It fails the power-on self test in OS 9, as well as the Apple Hardware test CD. IS there any way of investigating this? The machine seems to run okay, but i'm sure it's hindering the performance of it somehow...

Hi Les,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
As far as "investigating" goes, you've done all you need to; three separate sources all indicating the same L3 failure is pretty solid evidence.
I'm sure you're correct that it affects performance; unfortunately, cache is soldered onto the logic board, so beyond replacing the logic board, there's nothing you can do. If you've lived with it this long, I'd continue to live with it and put the LB replacement money toward your next machine.

6131 Add New language Not Listed After SW upgrade ...

Hello Every body,
I flashed my 6131 from Version V3.70 to V5.50. Everything Seems to be fine but Greek Language is not listed.
Greek Language was supported by previous firmware.
Any possible solutions ?
Thnask you in advance

Hello Ivotsis,
everything depends on product code of your Nokia 6131. You find this code under the battery. For example my product code is 0532273.
Sometimes happens, that the phone you bought probably in Greece is originally designed for other country and your language pack was flashed into your phone later by the reseller.
In this situation, if you use Nokia Software Updater it downloads firmware with language pack according to your phone's product code, where greek language is missing.
In other forum here is possible to check the product code of your phone against the language you need (before flashing the firmware) to know, if your language after flashing will be available or not.
In your situation is necessary, I'm afraid, to visit Nokia service center with request to flash firmware again with correct (greek) language pack. It may cost some money.
Best regards,
Tomas
