Printing Problem - Incomplete multiple page print job - until paper runs out

I'm on Mac OS 10.9.3 printing to a Samsung CLX-6250FX. This is a network printer used by all the Apple/Window computers in this office.
I am having terrible problems recently with printing multiple page documents - excel, word, email, pdf etc. I am spending a fortune in paper and printer cartridges.
The print job does not complete and the last page printed, the following message prints:
ERROR: syntaxerror
OFFENDING COMMAND: true        cvt      Tfpgm     nglyf      '   ^  head
STACK:
-mark-
/sfnts
Then the same printer job restarts and fails at the same point until the printer tray runs out of paper (unless the print job is aborted and/or the printer is turned off and turned on again)!!
The specific error message displayed by the printer software is either "Remote host did not accept data file (32)" or "Remote host did not accept data file (105)".
I haven't seen any pattern whatsoever in terms of application used.
I have deleted the printer and reloaded the driver from the disk supplied with the printer. I have checked to see that I am running the most recent driver.
I've already reset the printing system, but that didn't fix it.
I have seen this problem on various support communities pages, but for different printers.
I have yet to see a solution - Any other recommendations please?

The error message you see printed is a Postscript error. With your printer, postscript (normal output type from applications) is converted to the printer's page description language before being sent to the printer. So, I believe the problem is in some part of the driver software.
For first step, I would try restarting from the Recovery partition and repair the hard drive using Disk Utility. You can repair permission, too. This is trying to correct a corrupted file.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
(just read the first paragraph)
If that doesn't fix it, I would try downloading and installing the latest driver for the printer.
Come back for more if that still doesn't work.

  • Problem in multiple page printed (SAP Script )

    Hi Experts ,
    In SAP Script print ,
    First page print is perfect on preprinted stationary ,but
    Second page data is getting printed 2-3 cm up.
    Please tell me various reason for this ...
    Thanks
    Sonal

    Hi Sonal ,
    This happens with your predefined stationary .
    Are you declaring it in the same window where your declaring your data ?
    If yes, Try taking another variable window and keep all your predefined sationary there and then call it evry time you call your window with data .
    Or, It can be with the Text element try giving 2 empty lines before the text element it solves your problem!
    Hope it helps!
    Much Regards,
    Amuktha .

  • When I print I get multiple pages with a little print on all pages of what I want printed

    when I print I get multiple pages with what I am printing with a few lines on each page till what I have printed is complete.

    mamorse,
    Thanks for the additional info. Lets try downloading and running the Print and Scan doctor located here. It can fix a lot on its own but if not it will give us a better idea of what is going on. The weak signal is not likely the culprit (as it has been working for a good while) but we can try altering that if other steps fail.

  • Light room 5.0 multiple pages printing issue

    I'm facing strange issue with multiple pages print from Light Room to Pixma Pro-10 using Canon IJ XPS driver. (OS Win 7)
    Every time when I want to print multiple pages, second and all others are shifted to green. It's also seen on Preview page - see below
    View: original size
    It's a print of two exactly same images (created by virtual copy in Lr) only difference is a printing order (seen on bottom left) if I swap  the printing order results is the same - second print is shifted.
    Even if I make 8 copies of the same image and print it - 4 per page (2x2 pattern) all images on the first page is ok and all on second page are shifted.
    I can'not imagine where should be a problem. Image is in sRGB color space. Color management managed by printer. Printing from other applications (tested with Irfan and ACDSee) seems to be OK.
    It's not a startup problem - I already print numerous images without issue - its should be faulty settings somewhere - but I'm not aware of any color related settings change.
    Disabling preview didn't help - second and next images are shifted
    Color management in LightRoom is set to Managed by printer - which gives excellent results (for the first image)
    Any other settings produces much worse images.

    Some thoughts that may or may not be of any help:
    1) To me the "green" image looks desaturated like a ProPhotoRGB image that is being printed with an sRGB profile.  All images in LR have internal color numbers that have ProPhotoRGB-sized colorspace but a different gamma, irrespective of what the source image had for its colorspace, so the way you have things set, I would assume that LR is sending raw ProPhotoRGB-like data and the printer is doing a conversion, but erroneously only for the first page, somehow, whereas any other program that prints is sending sRGB data and it works every time.
    2) What color management settings do you have set on the printer?  Are they some sort of Automatic color or have you set a specific color profile to match the paper?
    3)  What happens if you have LR manage the color with a paper-specific profile set in LR and set the printer not to manage color?  Does the first page print differently, then?  Create smallish-sized prints on each page so as not to waste ink.  This is the way I'd have LR and the printer setup, with LR doing the color-management and the printer not.  You haven't said how you have your printer settings, so something that could be happening is LR is expecting the printer to do the color-management and the printer is expecting LR to be doing it, so its not working right.
    4)  A first page printing differently than the others can be a setting in the printer, to handle a cover-page differently than the rest, because it has different paper.  I have no experience with your printer, but you might look to see if there is such a setting.
    5)  You haven’t said if you’re using any LR printing layout preset or not.  If so then try printing without having selected one or select a completely different, standard one, and see if the problem clears up.
    6)  LR will remember the last printer and printer-driver settings that you used, so if the driver is updated but LR is remembering settings for the previous driver, then things can get messed up.  You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drive.  You can try installing another copy of the printer driver using a different name for the printer, that way LR’s saved settings shouldn’t be associated with that new name.
    7)  As a last resort, and only after reviewing various preferences you have set in LR, you can try to reset LR’s preferences, in case something is corrupted and causing problems.  The way to reset the preferences is to exit LR and rename the preferences file to something without an .agprefs extension, then restart LR.  If renaming doesn’t seem to be working, then move the .agprefs file to your desktop, temporarily.  You can delete the preferences file, but it’s safer to rename it or move it, in case it doesn’t fix the problem, then you can rename or move it back and have all your old preferences back, instead of recreating all the non-default settings.  The Preferences file location along with many other things, is documented here:
    http://members.lightroomqueen.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1373/205/lightroom-5-default- locations
    Finally, is there a reason you’re using LR 5.0 rather than one of the newer versions, in case 5.0 has a bug that has been fixed in subsequent versions?
    Various LR versions can be follow by clicking on the Windows/Mac link under Lightroom down near the bottom of the center column of the Adobe Updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • Printing document on multiple pages in Preview

    I have a very long document which is a list of folders. If I print it on one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet it is unreadable.
    Is there a way to have this very long document print out on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets so that - basically the width fills up the 8 1/2 but the length goes to five or ten or twenty sheets?
    I'm not sure if this is called Poster Printing or what but I'd love to find a way to get this out of my mac.
    TIA

    Hi. Thank very much.
    Can I just confirm that I have described this correctly?
    Basically I have already done a screencapture of this which I guess I would describe as having - say - 250 /rows/ in one column. I mean, basically I have something like a five or ten page Pages or Numbers spreadsheet except that it is in image format (png I think). So this is maybe 8 inches wide by 36 inches long. I can see it in Preview and I can blow it up or whatever, but I don't want this to print on one single page. I want to do a multi-page document but I am not sure how to explain this in Mac.
    Should I go with pdfpenpro to /print/ this document?
    Should I maybe open in in Adobe Elements 3 and see if there is an option in there?
    Since it is an image document I am not sure what to open it in to do this on the mac and while I have Aperture it is a bit of a pain to import a screenshot into aperture if I just want to print it and then delete it. Ideally I would open it in Preview and just ask preview not to scale it to print on one page (which it seems to be doing now)  but to print in on multiple pages at the "actual size" or a size of my choosing...
    I guess the mention of multi-column sort of got me confused as to whether we are on the same page (so to speak!).
    Thank you.
    Thanks

  • Laser Jet Pro MFP M476nw printing lines of nonsense until it runs out of paper

    I have a Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476nw, and it has begun printing out pages of nonsense symbols until it runs out of paper.  This is particularly bad when I print from a website, sometimes from emails, etc., and it is wasting tons of paper.  I am extremely dissatisifed with this printer, and it is not even a year old yet.  I have tried turning it off and then restarting it, but the problem comes back.  Is this normal for this particular all-in-one?  I bought it instead of a Brother, which I had last, and expected better for my money.

    If the output is repeatable (i.e. exactly the same when reprinting the same document, using the same driver, to the same device), then it is likely that it is caused by a driver (or driver settings) fault.
    There may be a more up-to-date driver available, or (depending on the printer model) you may perhaps be able to switch to a driver using a different Page Description Language (i.e. PCL5 or PostScript or PCL6 (the 'marketting' name for the PCL XL PDL), depending on which you are currently using).
    If the error(s) is/are random, they are much more likely to be the result of intermittent corruptions of the generated print stream between the workstation and the device (check cables, ports, switches, etc.); it could also possibly be an intermittent problem with the printer itself.

  • First Page prints fine, all other pages print reduced

    I’ve been working with one of our users on a printing problem she is having with PDFs. 
    The problem is that when printing PDFs, the first page prints fine, but any subsequent pages print at a reduced scale.
    If you set the print job to print only pages 2 – to end of doc, Page 2 becomes the first page printed and it prints fine (where before it didn’t when you printed pages 1 – to end of doc) but pages 3 – to end of doc print at the reduced scale.
    I have tried to change her print options from Shrink OverSized Pages to each of the following:
    Actual Size
    Fit
    Custom Scale (we’ve tried printing at 100% as well as a number of reduced options, but then all this does is make the first page smaller and smaller)
    I’ve googled for help, and haven’t found anything that resolved the problem.
    I checked her version of Adobe Reader and she has the same version (XI) as another user who doesn’t have this problem when she prints.  I’ve checked the other user's settings to see if her printer settings were different than the user that is having problems  – and they aren’t.
    I’ve completely uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader and this hasn’t resolved the problem either.
    I've tried printing to a different printer - and it still happens.
    Any thoughts?

    See my answers below:
    a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
    b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
    c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
    d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
    Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

  • IPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

    iPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

    Okay - So, I teach photography and have my students print contact sheets from iPhoto version 08.  I have one student (out of forty) having the following problem (I have removed preferences, reinstalled iPhoto, used the iPhoto updater for 7.1.5, reloading the printer driver and upgrading the system software to 10.6.8 {I teach in a high school, so no funds for newer software})
    The problem is isolated to one student - the others on the same machine do NOT have the same problem.  When this student selects more than 5 images, the resulting output looks as if he has taken a screen shot - the palettes on the left of the frame show and the titles he has inserted (using Batch Change) are moved on to the pictures.
    At this point, I am going to let him screenshot his submissions, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
    Thanks!

  • Using a mac 10.6.8 to print duplex to HP laserjet P1606dn, order of paper comes out mixed up

    using a mac 10.6.8 to print duplex to HP laserjet P1606dn, order of paper comes out mixed up as follows: the first page out is page 2, with 1 on reverse side, next page is page 4, with 3 on reverse side., etc.  This requires that I re-collate every paper I print.  Have tried a few things in set up and re-installing the printer, but still not fixed.  

    I am having the same problem.  Nice to see that HP has not responded.

  • Laserjet Pro 200 M251NW printing Garbage characters multiple pages after just setting up

     I am installing the printer for the first time on a Dell Optiplex with Windows 7 32bit, it is about a year old and is working fine with other printers. The printer was working fine through USB on a laptop running windows XP. 
    Connected the printer to an open USB on the computer and the auto install started running from the printer. It seemed to run OK, I followed all of the prompts, etc. When I said it should print a test page it started printing multiple pages each with a few lines of what I would call garbage text, strange characters, spaces, random letters, etc. It kept printing pages and I had to turn the printer off to get it to stop. 
    I was thinking that maybe the drivers from the printer were old and not for Windows 7, so I then download the full driver from the HP website and installed that. It said it would uninstall the original driver, which it did, then it installed and again all seemed OK until I printed the test page, and the same thing as above happened. I also tried printing some text from notepad and it went to the print queue then disappeared. It still seemed like a driver problem to me so I manually uninstalled from the start menu program Uninstall for the printer. This time I downloaded the basic driver and installed - still with the same result. I thought maybe it was because the Quick STart from the printer kept loading when the printer was turned on so I turned it off from the menu on the printer, but it still didn't help. I also tried another USB port on the computer with the same result. 
    Is it possible there is software left from the first install that may not have been for Windows 7 and it needs to be removed manually?? 
    Any help from HP or anyone would be greatly appreciated as I need to get this printer running for our shipping system ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    I tried all of those things and it is always the same result. Even on the network, printing from the same computer. I was able to print properly from a different computer, to the HP 200 connected to the USB and shared on the original computer - so I then knew the USB was OK.
    I was looking online further and found the HP Universal  PCL6 driver, and it actually worked! I don't really understand why the proper driver will not work with the printer though. I even created a new user on the computer so all of the programs, etc. would not load, then I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver - still same problem. The computer also has drivers and printer software for Epson printers, so I don't know if that could be causing some type of problem.
    It is good that we can at least do basic printing but I really should have the fully functional driver working for the system. Any help from anyone, and hopefully HP monitors these discussions and can help out.
    Thanks,
    Rich

  • Multiple page printing!!! help needed

    hi,
    Another problem to solve. How the hell I can print multiple pages. If my frame is too large I want it to print on multiple pages. I tried different things but doesn't work. Please help me out in this too. I have included a small code currently it is prinitng one page only. But I need to print multiple pages if the display is too large to fit on one page.
    sample code that I am using
    PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
              //Calls painter to render the pages. The pages in the document to
              //be printed by this PrinterJob are rendered by the Printable object,
              //painter. The PageFormat for each page is the default page format.
              printerJob.setPrintable(this);
              //Presents a dialog to the user for changing the properties of the print job.
              if ( printerJob.printDialog() )
                   try
                        //this print() method implements the Printable interface
                        printerJob.print();
                   catch (Exception e)
                        e.printStackTrace();
    public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) throws PrinterException
         if (pageIndex >= 1)
              return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
         Graphics2D graphics2 = (Graphics2D) graphics;
         graphics2.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(),
         pageFormat.getImageableY());
         //prints the selected frame only
         selectedFrame.paint(graphics2);
         return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
    }

    I used to ask similar question when I starting using Java printing APIs. Is is useless to ask such general questions.
    There is no magic pill. There is no way your program knows how many pages to send to printer - you need to tell your program everything about it. Spend some time and do some research, you will figure out by yourself. Good luck.
