Printing problem in 10.9 Mavericks

I'm puzzled...
Using a MacBookPro running 10.9 Mavericks. Since upgrading, I am unable to print. The printer que window shows: "Stopped on server - Unable to write uncompressed document data: Operati..."
I am sending the print job thru my printer server which is a MacBook running 10.5.8. The printer is a Samsung ML-1660 and the printer is hard-wired to the server via USB. I tried deleting the printer and reinstalling after the system upgrade.
Not having a problem with the computers running 10.7.5 or 10.8.5. Anyone have an idea what the problem could be? TIA.

Visit the Samsung site for a v10.9 Mavericks compatible driver > ML-1660 - SUPPORT | SAMSUNG
If you can't locate a driver, try resetting the print function.
Open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
Hold down the Option key while clicking the "-" (Remove printer) button.
If no printers are currently added, hold down the Control key while clicking in the box that appears above the "+" (
Add printer) button, then choose Reset printing system… from the contextual menu.

Officejet Pro K5400 printing problems after update to Mavericks OSX 10.9

Hi,
I have printing problems with my Officejet Pro K5400 after update to Mavericks OSX 10.9.
Now after printing 1 page the printer prints an extra page with '2345X' sentence on it. As this problem started right after updating, I suppose there is a problem with an update.

This patch did solve our problem with the K5400 feeding a "blank sheet".
Thank you.

Printing problems with acrobat and Mavericks

We just got a new Mac Mini to replace an old iMac to drive our printers. We normally print from Acrobat Pro 9 ( 10.6.8 & 10.8.5 ) and have no problems. We migrated everything over to the Mini, which is running Mavericks, and now when we print a 2 page document the 2nd page is printing 180 degrees turned around. Printed the same file from another Mac with no problems. I've heard that Mavericks will only run Acrobat Pro XI. This is insane, that's like $450! Could it be a driver or something simple that I can't see for the life of me? BTW, this Mini will be running 10 printers at once, the old one did it.

Have you reset the printing system…

Does Preview do any better? That will indicate if it's the printer driver or something in the application's printing system.
It would be worth checking that the printer drivers are up to date - a migrated driver may not be appropriate for 10.9.

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem. I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail. I did the conversion while running Yosemite. I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!! The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space. The message begins at the top of p.2.
If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message. Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message.
Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem?? I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message. So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired. Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!! Anyone else made any progress on this?

Hi Shiba,
I understand that your printer is not printing picures as expected. I know you stated that you had tried troubleshooting steps above. Where you able to take a look at this document? Are you printing from a mobile device or computer?
Hope this helps.

When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem? My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine. I shouldn't have to buy a new one. Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected? That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
How is your network configured? Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary. If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router. If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation. The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router. But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

Printing problem with cc and cs6 with epson 7890

Hi everyone,
I am having a serious printing problem. I use CC (14.2.1) and CS 6 (13.0.6) on Mavericks 10.9.1 on an iMac. If I try to make a print on a 24" roll I get an error message: cupsRasterinterpretPDD has an error = page header unsupported values. If I print A2 or A3 sheets everything works fine.
I contacted Epson because I thought it was a printer problem, but they insist it is a photoshop problem. I updated to the latest printerdriver.
Does anyone have any ideas or even better a solution?

I feel your pain, but I don't know the solution, sorry. Our Mac guru who primarily serves designers is not upgrading any of his clients to Mavericks so far, due to printing (and other) issues. Se we're still on 10.8.4 here.

Printing in Photoshop CC in Mavericks with Epson R3000

When I upgraded to Mavericks and tried printing in Photoshop CC to my Epson R3000 the print dialog would show and choose an arbitrary paper size no matter what settings I used. Apple Care sent me an updated driver that solved the problem until I upgraded Mavericks to 13.9.2 and the exact same problem returned. I downloaded another print driver update from Apple with no change. Because my printer works fine in Lightroom 5 Apple Care has declared that it is an Adobe problem and they can't help.
Not to sound antiprogress but if I could I would happily go back to Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS6. Photoshop CC keeps crashing and since loading Mavericks my computer's internal processes, like opening a folder, have greatly slowed down. My very current iMac 27 has been working flawlessly in O.S. 10.6, my three Epson printers, and Photoshop CS6.
Those were the days!
Thank you,
Blahs Blase'

I've seen some similar issues with other Printers as well. There seems to be problems with Printer drivers communicating with Photoshop CC on Mavericks. Could be that all three are contributing to a problem here.
Try changing the default settings for the driver outside of Photoshop. What I've seen is that those settings will be carried over to Photoshop and work, but making changes to the printer driver (Print Settings button) are sometimes forgotten/lost, and the settings revert to the defaults.

Unable to print from a Mac using Maverick 10.9.2 on an Epson Photo printer with Photoshop CS4. Can you help?

I am trying to print in Photoshop CS4 on an Epson Photo printer (3880) from my Mac. I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 when the problem started. Can you help.

I have the answer. It took quite a while but I know why the 3880 won't print from Photoshop 4 with Maverick. It is due to the Epson .icc page description files. The way to solve the problem is to make your own .icc. OK, so you don't know how to do it. This is what I did so now I get the quality prints I expect from an expensive printer.
You need to go to www.datacolor.com/spyderprint and purchase the Spyderprint hardware and software. It comes as a package for $300 to $350 depending on if you get a sale. The software will print on the 3880 test sheets of color blocks. With the hardware reader you then read the colors on the test sheets printed. What this does is match the monitor image with the printer, ink and paper you used. It makes an .icc page description file for you to select instead of the Epson .icc file. When you print again select the new .icc file and also choose "Printer Manages Colors" instead of "Photoshop Manages Colors" I know this is usual but it works. When you are done you will be smiling too with your beautiful results.
One other thing. If you want, it is optional, also purchase the Spider 4 Pro for $150. It calibrates your monitor and helps make excellent prints.
I understand it is more money and you already probably have a good computer, expensive camera to go with the 3880 so spend the extra money so it all works together.
I hope this helps.

Printing Problem -- Published as Landscape but prints as Portrait

Post Author: williamk
CA Forum: Publishing
Hello all,
I have a report that was created and published as a Landscape report. However when I go to print it from the Crystal Report ActiveX Viewer it wants to print it as Portrait. This problem seems to be intermittant. Sometimes and from some computers it will print correctly. Most of the time it wont. I went onto the Business Objects XI Enterprise Server and changed the Print Setup for the report to Custom Settings | Landscape | Letter, but it didn't help. Also, when it does print incorrectly I get this message:
Crystal Report Viewer
The report you are about to print is a pre-formatted image of the actual report data. Changing orientation or paper size may result in loss of objects on each printed page. Do you wish to continue?
Any ideas?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try printing again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Wireless Printer Problems after OSX 10.9.1 Update

Hi,
I've been having trouble detecting my HP C309g printer wirelessly following upgrade to Mavericks.
I can get it working with some effort but after some time it cant be reached again.
Not sure if the issue is linked to powersave on the printer of anything like that but i've had the same printer for a few years and never had such issues.
I've tried resetting the printing system and reinstalling the drivers etc, but not really solving the problem.
After trying a few of those steps this morning, i now dont see the printer in the list of available wireless printers, but i did have that before also so its not a direct result of those steps.
Any tips on debugging would be appreciated. I've seen a few other threads with similar issues. Not clear if the issue is airport updates or OSX updates etc.
thanks

If there is some method to determine what IP address the HP is using, then you can often enter this IP address as a URL in a web browser. When the printer is connected to the same network as the computer this action should result in the internal web page of the printer appearing (assuming the printer has this facility which many do).
Or you could use the built-in Network Utility, which used to be located under Applications > Utilities but has been moved in Mavericks - now you must open System Information and select Windows > Network Utility. With this open there is a Ping tab. Here you can enter the IP address of the printer and press Ping. If there is a working path between the Mac and the printer then you should get a response to each Ping packet that is sent.

Printing to Designjet 500ps after Maverick Upgrade

Just done upgrade to Maverick and I am now getting printing problems.
Before upgrade the margins on printer were 17mm top and bottom of printed item with 5mm left and right. After upgrade margins are 35mm top, 22mm left and right and 37mm bottom. Print is approx 92% of orginal. Tried printing from Indesign, Photoshop and Acrobat all the same.
Print from older Mac with 10.4 same file margins as the should be (100%).
Done printer software reinstall on Imac - no difference. Seems that Maverick has messed up the printing preferences.
Can maverick software upgrade be reversed? Wish I never installed it.

what i get is Click reopen to open the application again. this report will be sent to Apple automatically.

Airport Extreme Printing Problem with HP Deskjet.

Hello ... I wonder if any helpful folks can assist me with my printing problem? I am using Tiger on a new Intel imac with a HP Deskjet 960C. This printer is listed as having the latest drivers included within Tiger and works perfectly when connected via USB so my problem I guess is not with the software....I have disconnected everything and plugged everything back together again. I also deleted the printer from the printer list within the Printer Setup Utility application.... The imac recognisies the printer and upon pressing the print button everything feels as though its just going to work. The blue barber shop scroll appears but the printer fails to kick into gear and I get the big red exclamation mark appearing in the status box .... I would really love to try and sort this annoying error ... Any ideas? Thanks. Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hello jds17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.
