Printing doesn't work for some inexplicable reason, completely baffled

Okay, so I have an HP Photosmart C4180 printer which I cannot for the life of me get to work on my new desktop. The exact same config works on my laptop. One of several things will invariably go wrong. It might:
1. Print only a small initial section of the page, leave the rest blank.
2. Print gibberish.
3. Give an error like "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" and then not recognize the printer at all.
4. Queue the print job indefinitely without any errors, never printing. When this happens it will either say it is still processing or that it is actually printing (though it is not).
The one thing it will never do is print correctly. Also, I can't get it to work in Windows either (again, same Windows setup works on my laptop, although that installation has long since been deleted). I can't figure out why the hardware in my desktop would be an issue. This is a USB printer, and all my other USB devices work perfectly.
I have no idea what to do now. I've googled to no end. I've fiddled with it, recompiled all the related packages, read documentation and deleted my config to start over. I've looked for errors but the only messages I get are no help, although I am admittedly not very good at figuring out which logs to look at or how to get the most useful debug info out of a program.
Even if you don't think you can solve the issue, I'd appreciate any points in the right direction. Please?

Sounds like you've probably already looked but the CUPS article in the wiki led me through setting up a printer without any problems.  http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS
The first section describes how to troubleshoot CUPS and printing problems.
I've also found a few other posts and links that may help.

  • Printing doesn't work for some docs (CUPS 1.4, Samsung ML-2010, Splix)

    I installed my Samsung ML-2010R some days ago. CUPS version is 1.4.2-1. Splix is 2.0.0-1.
    After blacklisting lpusb installation worked fine. Also printing a testpage worked. Printing works for some documents, but there are some which won't (all were pdfs, but I mainly tested .pdfs). The document is sent to the printer (or at least it looks so), but nothing happens (sometimes the printer makes a short noise). When I go to http://localhost:631/printers/ it says "Frei - "Processing page 11..."" (while "frei" being German for "free", don't know, perhaps the corresponding status in English is idle). The page number changes depending on the document (but it is always the same page if I try to print the same document more times).
    In the log-files I don't find anything useful (at least for me). Here is what I get, if I try to print one of these documents:
    In page_log:

    Perhaps you could help me with further debugging. I'll try the proprietary Samsung driver in the meantime.

    EDIT: This didn't actually seem to fix the problem. :'(
    Good news! I think the outstanding developers of Debian have a patch for our bug.
    It involves recompiling CUPS, which in Arch means making new packages for "cups" and "libcups". I used the package build information for CUPS from ABS and created a new PKGBUILD. Here it is for reference:
    pkgbase="cups"
    pkgname=('libcups' 'cups')
    pkgver=1.4.2

    This makes new versions of the packages "cups" and "libcups". I installed them and my printer is behaving very well. The Debian/Ubuntu developers work miracles.
    If you could try it, to see if it fixes your printer problems too, that would be great.
    Here is where I got the patches from. http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/cups/1.4.2-4 I applied almost all of them. I excluded the "drop unnecessary dependencies" patch because it brought compiler errors with the default Arch CUPS PKGBUILD, and also excluded the "man page" and "manual" patches. I think the only patch you and I actually need is the "usb-backend-both-usblp-and-libusb" patch, but I'm not really in the mood to try applying only that one, since it seems to be working fine now. I decided to ignore applying the Ubuntu CUPS patches, because they mostly seem to be simply patches to the way CUPS is installed. Anyway, I hope these patches are moved upstream soon!
    If we have good results from this PKGBUILD, I think I will upload it to AUR. It will be my first AUR package.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Audio Out doesn't work for some devices under 9600m GT; works under 9400m

    Hello. I've recently noticed that when I plug my MBP into my TV to use as a monitor and for speakers, I can't use the TV's audio when I'm using the 9600m GT for graphics, but, mysteriously, it works just fine when I'm on the 9400m. This is a major problem for when I want to play games.
    For some odd reason, though, plugging in headphones works perfectly under both configurations. I connect the audio to the TV using a standard audio cable that splits into the red and white plugs. Any idea how I can get audio up and running under the 9600m GT?
    Message was edited by: Pickleman

    Thanks for the confirmation.
    I think my issue could be the same, as i'm also trying to send audio to the tv via the headphone port. Just saying again to explain better:
    - Tv's have analog audio input for hdmi, but at least for mine, it only uses these inputs if it does (or doesn't) get a certain signal for audio over the hdmi connection.
    - Whatever the 9400 is doing, its convincing the tv to use the analog inputs, all is well.
    - Whatever the 9600 is doing, its convincing the tv -not- to use the analog inputs, thus no sound.
    It was a bit fiddly, but i got it to a state where audio through the headphone port would work fine under the 9400, i would set graphics to high performance, log out, log back in again, and audio would not work. Undoing this (setting the graphics to better battery life and relogging in) would restore sound.
    I'm thinking the root of the issue is that the tv gets detected as supporting audio, and something the 9600 is doing is fooling the tv to think it is receiving audio, though as you suggested it's not supported and nothing is going though.. which has the side effect of igoring the analog inputs we're sending though the headphone jack.
    Some sort of fix to disable audio down the displayport would be great. PC nvidia drivers that i'm running on the same mac in boot camp have an explicit option to do this, so it shouldn't be too hard..
    Or any other work around..
    Thanks!!

  • My iMessage doesn't work for some with iPhones

    WWhy does iMessage not work for some thst have iPhone? For example day 1 text went as iMessage day 2 changed to sms

    Hi,
    1) That iPhone  may not be registered with the iMessages Servers.
    Several variants of that:-
    2) the iPhone has lost power/is out of range and been "de-registered".
    3) Twice my iPhone has become set to Not Receive on the iPhone Number - the User cannot change this - but it has happened. After a while if this is not spotted it loses the link with the Apple ID as well.
    4) It is not entirely clear if you Block someone in iMessages whether the iPhone still gets SMS versions.
    It appears you might have to block them for Phone  (and therefore related services like SMS) as well as iMessages.
    5) iMessages servers having a bad day.

  • How do you save data into an excel file while myRIO is acquiring data? I tried saving it using "Write to file" but it doesn't work for some reason.

    I am acquiring cosine wave and a pulse wave as input and I want to store their peak to peak values into an excel file. "Write to File" is not working for it. Is there any other vi which can be used for data logging?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Ssheoran,
    Can you provide more detail when you say that the Write to File VI doesn't work? Is there an error given? Or can you just not find the file on your computer? Keep in mind using this file in a Real-Time VI on the myRIO will save files on the myRIO. You will then have to transfer to your PC. Please view the following video as a guide for saving files and transferring them to your computer: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuREWnD6Eno). Hope this helps.

    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to quit the iTunes Store app and sign out of your iTunes Store account on your iPhone.
    Then restart / reset the device.
    When you sign back in, you should be able to re-initiate the download.
    The following articles will explain these steps in more detail:

  • Manual duplex printing doesn't work for LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a

    Hi !
    OS Windows 8.1. Printer LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a. Driver version 61.108.8.10073 date 2011 Apr 13th
    1. After switching on checkbox "Print on Both Sides (Manually)" on "Finishing" tab of Print Properties Dialog and
    start printing, dialog with instruction how to turn paper appears. Then printer must print odd pages, stop for
    turning paper and then continue printing of even pages on the back side of paper sheets. But my device prints
    all pages sequentually in order 1,2,3,... without any breaks. What is it- my mistake or possible bug in driver ?
    2. Windows API function DeviceCapabilities with fwCapability=DC_DUPLEX for this printer returns 0 (duplex printing
    impossible). This value for any other HP printer, even without automatic duplexer, always equel to 1.
    This question was solved.

  • Country list dropdown search by first letter doesn't work for some countries in the list

    Hi,
    We have this issue with the country list search in Travel Request with the drop down list when user is trying to choose the country by entering the first letter say C for Canada (finds Canada in the list) it works for the countries from A to O  and  doesn't work from P to Z.
    It is NW7.31 portal
    What seems to be the problem ?

    Hi Denis
    Get them to take a look at this wiki page:
    http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/x/2oQCFQ
    It lists the latest notes for your basis version and the notes are usually cumulative which means if you apply the latest notes, it will bring in the pre-requisites and earlier notes too.
    Hope it helps you Denis.

  • Search Region Source doesn't work for some searches

    I am updating a table, and I wanted to search our Apex app to see what reports are using the table. I typed in the table name and no results came back.
    I knew of one report that definitely uses that table, so I went to it, copied the table name from the query source, and tried the search again - Still no results.
    I tried a different table name, and got a whole bunch of hits.
    The table name that doesn't work is floor_suite_billing
    I even tried partials of that name, but I do not get the report that uses that table.
    Is there something I am missing?
    TIA
    John

    So, I created a test report using "select * from floor_suite_billing" and did a search. This new report came up in the results but the other one didn't.
    Then I tried searching for other keywords from the query but that report still does not show up..
    does anyone have a reliable way of searching Apex?
    Thanks!

  • The back button doesn't work for some websites after downloading version 4.0

    I recently downloaded firefox version 4.0. Upon downloading it I had a few issues occur with my browser. One issue was that all of my bookmarks that were on my toolbar disappeared. Also, when I visit a website and am browsing through it, if I want to go back to a previous page the back button doesn't work properly. Instead of sending me back to the previous page I was viewing it sends me all the way back to the home page or wherever I started on that website. This problem basically affects all websites that I visit. I would like to uninstall the new version of firefox and just go back to my old one if that's possible? Thanks

    To respond to your comments first of all, the Bookmarks toolbar has been removed in Firefox 4.0
    The back button should work as it normally does, but you can also right click it and select it from the list.
    To revert to a previous version of Firefox, download v3.6.16 from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16]
    Then uninstall Mozilla Firefox 4.0 choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc.
    Finally run the Firefox installation file you downloaded earlier.

  • Mark Clip - X shortcut doesn't work for some reason. Is there an easy way to mark a clip without going into Source Monitor?

    Hi guys,
    I'm using Premiere Pro CC on Windows 8.1 Pro. The Mark Clip function - X shortcut key by default doesn't seem to work.
    I know that if I go into Source Monitor I can mark the clip in there but WHY ? In the old day of CS5.5 I can mark a clip (not timeline) as quick indicator for frame / sound issue of a particular clip. One key press and I'm done.
    So, is there an easy way to mark a clip in Premiere Pro CC without going into Source Monitor?
    Cheers!

    Hi Mark and everyone looking to find the answer,
    After experimenting, I figured out the answer. This applies for the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC (as of 01-Sep-2014) ver 8.0.1 (build 21)
    Context: You want to add a marker to a specific clip instead of a sequence but you can't seem to do it.
    Why?
        - X key (or Mark Clip as Premiere Pro CC calls it) doesn't add a Marker to a clip. What it does is using the clip you are selecting as reference for Mark In / Out of your current sequence.
        - M key (or Add Marker as Premiere Pro CC calls it) will add a marker to your clip.
       HOWEVER:
        If you are not expanding your clip to see the wave form or clip thumbnail, the marker on the clip will not show up. It used to show up in CS5.5!!!!!! Why not in CC!!!?!
        It will only add the marker to the clip you are selecting. Track targeting does not matter.
        If you don't select any clip, it will add a marker to your sequence.
    Example: (This is the same clip and sequence)
    How it looks with marker added.
      Track targeting does not matter - reference number 1
      Current selected clip is is the key - reference number 2
        2.  How it looks with marker added but you can't see
        3.  How it looks if you don't select the clip and hit M
    Hope this help!
    Cheers!
