Printing Problems from 10.3.9 using 10.4.11 Xserves

We have 2 Xserves (1 G5 and 1 Intel). Both of them are running 10.4.11 with all updates installed. The printers are managed from the server for students. Students use eMacs and iBooks that have 10.3.9. Sometimes when students print from a 10.3.9 machine, it won't let them. For example, we have Microsoft Office X with the latest updates and it will say at the bottom of Word connecting to the printer. When this has happened, I have tried to open up Apple's text editor, but when I click on file print, nothing happens at all (so it's not related just to Microsoft). I have found that usually if you login (as a student) and then wait to print for 15 minutes or more, sometimes the students can print right away. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how I could find out what is causing this to resolve it?

1. It isn't. Legally you have to buy another copy of 10.4 to install Tiger on your iMac. There's a chance the iBook disc won't even let you install on the iMac though.
2. The advantage would be less to download to update to 10.4.3.

How can I print stuff from the 'Help' file using my MacBook Air?

My iMac is printing duplexed documents on a wirelessly connected Epson printer extremely slowly (minutes), but prints fast from and IOS device using AirPrint. Settings don't offer any help. Can anyone advise, please?

I have a one-year old (intel) iMac, now running on Mountain Lion. I have a wireless network with an Epson Photo Stylus PX830FWD printer which has an auto-duplexer. My problem is that when I print a two-sided document, the print takes minutes rather than seconds. It prints at normal speed if I use the print facility on my iPad or iPhone (AirPrint), which suggests that the Mac settings are at fault. I have been through all the settings on System Preferences that I can find, but nothing makes any difference.
I didn't notice it prining at slow speed on Snow Leopard or Lion OSX!
Any suggestions, please?

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Printing Problem from ALV

Hi,
When I run my report, its perfectly working fine with all the data, subtotals, grand totals etc.
But when I print the ALV by clicking the PRINT Button on the Standard tool bar, My first subtotals are printing correctly. From second, its printing ZEROES and my grand totals are printing double the number as I see on the output.
This is strange and am not able to understand why I get those errors.
ANy pointers please.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Roger,
I am using Function Module "REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY"
I am displaying a hierarchical ALV with subtotals, page-breaks & grand totals.
The strange thing is that my first SUBtotal gets printed properly. Its the problem from the second subtotal onwards.
Finally, the grand totals also a problem(Doubling when i print first time and triplling,if i print 2nd time ...and so on...)
ANy more clues please.

Printing problems from Photoshop Elements to Epson XP-800

I cannot print photogrpaic images with my desktop MAC (OS X10.8.4) from Photoshop Elements 9.0 to my new Epson XP-800 printer. Printing is not a problem with Word text or images from iPhoto- it is only with PSE that there is a problem. The problem persists even if I try using a cabled connection rather than WiFi. I have ensured latest software from Epson has been downloaded. This problem did not occur when using the same system with the previous printer (Epson Photo Stylus 1290).
Any suggestions for solving this rather than just a workaround of moving the edited PSE image back to iPhoto & printing from there (which admittedly does work but shouldn't be necessary).
Grateful for any help.

Home network printing problem from Windows 8

I have 3 PCs on my home network:
1.    Windows XP desktop (Pro SP3) with HP 6500 E709a USB printer.
2.    Windows 7 desktop (Ultimate SP1 64 bit) with HP 1018 USB printer.
3.    Windows 8 (64 bit) laptop.
Both printers are NOT Ethernet printers.
All computers can see each other and share folders on the home network.
Computers 1 & 2 can freely print on their own printers, as well as on each other's printer.
The problem is with computer 3 (Win8): it can see both printers, but can't print on either (in fact, I can print a test page on the HP 1018 printer from the printer driver on the Win8 machine, but I can't print anything from any application).
I tried to install HP 6500 driver on the Win8 machine, I turned on Network Discovery in the Advanced Sharing Settings on it, but it still doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any "general puprpose" driver for HP 6500 E709a, something to replace the WIN8 driver that fails?

Printing problems from iPhoto 6

For some odd reason I just can not print anything from iPhoto 6, it goes through the processes of printing, then brings up the Printer utility as if it's ABOUT to print, but then it fails and the Printer utility simply goes to "Jobs Stopped" without any further details as to WHY it stopped.
I can however print from all other apps, and even saving image to PDF, then print the PDF from Preview works...
What's going on?

Wireless printing problem from OS X 10.2.8 and Win XP

I have three machines I want to be able to print wirelessly through my airport express. Currently, only one of them will print wirelessly - which is lousy, help.
Machine #1 is running Windows XP. It connects to the internet through the airport express just fine, no problem there. The problem is connecting to the printer. Machine #1 will print just fine when I connect the USB directly to the computer, but wirelessly I can't figure out how to hook it up properly through the airport express to the printer. The part I keep getting hung up on is that the airport express manual says to add another printer put in 10.0.1.1 for the IP address, but when I do so, the machine says that that address is already taken and it beeps at me real loud and gives me an error message - end of story. I suspect I need another IP address, but I can't figure out where to find it. Help.
Machine #2 is my old ibook G3, which is running Mac OS X 10.2.8. The airport express should be able to make it so I can print wirelessly from machine #2, but this one is not working out either. Machine #2 connects to the internet just fine, and when I connect the printer manually to machine #2 it prints just fine. When I try to print wirelessly, through the airport express, it starts out ust fine, the printer begins to print, then all of a sudden, as if for no reason, it "stops the job". I "start the job" back up through the print center, and then it "stops the job" again. we play this game a bit, but I never get farther than printing the first few lines of my print job. It never really makes any progress, it just pretends like ti might if it felt like it. In this case, I've been looking online for some software patch that would fix this problem - looked on the apple site and on the epson site, and haven't made any progressfor many hours. Help!
Machine #3 has no problems. It surfs the internet, plays music on my stereo and prints wirelessly without any trouble at all. It is my new ibook G4 running OS X 10.4. Is it possible to get machine #1 and machine #2 able to print wirelessly just like machine #3? (i'd like all three machines to be able to stream music to my stereo too, but I don't want to push my luck. I'll be ecstatic if I can get these other two machines to print wirelessly. I'm so tired of having to pull that printer cable out from under the couch everytime I need to print something.)
Thanks to anyone who can help. Hey, thanks for just reading this.

thank you for your response!
I am about to look into the efelix site for the PC, thank you. i'm excited.
for the mac, me thinks that i am out of luck with updating the driver. on the epson site the most recent drivers for my printer (epson sytlus photo 820) are for OS X 10.1.3 - 10.2.6, and I am running OS X 10.2.8.
Hmmmm, I downloaded the driver anyway, and it gives me an APPLICATION LAUNCH FAILURE because of a "shared library error" when I try to launch the new drivers. The other thing on the site is a PIM II Plug In - which doesn't look like a driver to me.
a link to the lack of drivers for my poor mac...

Odd Printing Problem from BO 6.5.1

Hi, I have been asked to support BO 6.5.1 users and some of them create .pdf files which don't print correctly. The heading boxes, table structures and formatting are retained but the text is replaced with random characters. The docs look fine on screen, it is only when they are printed out that the problem occurs. I am sure I have ruled out printing problems, email problems and Adobe 8.0 problems, particularly because this is only happening with pdf's from BO sent to any printer and so I feel it must be a fault with BO. Has anyone seen this before? Grateful for any advice

Hi Greyhat,
as you refer to the legacy technology VB6 I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Printing Problems from iMac G4 to HP Photosmart 7760-photos heavy on pink!

Hello,
We have an iMac G4 Flat Panel using OS 10.3.9 and are connected to the HP Photosmart 7760 Printer. The printer is printing heavy on the pink side photographs.
When we print directly from our camera card, the printer prints fine. True colors. When we print using any software application, (ie Photoshop, iPhoto) the printer prints extremely heavy on the pink side. We have installed new cartridges, have cleaned and calibrated the printer, have unplugged and restarted the printer and still to no avail we have pink tinted photographs.
Could someone help please?
Thank You!

It seemed to be nothing involving my printer, a recalibration of the computer display did the trick.

Printing problem from home to office

I have an HP1606dn laser printer which works fine when I am in the school building. However, all of a sudden, if I try to print wirelessly from home (which I have been doing for 2 years), I get the message that the printer is offline and I cannot print. Apparently, the printer is not turning on automatically if I am using a VPN. Any suggestions?
Thanks a million!!!
Mary Jane

Are you using Windows or AppleTalk printing to connect to the 2003 server?
Have you tried deleting the printer from the server and re-installing it? Tried re-installing the driver and PPD for the Phaser? Also, have you tried deleting the printer from the Macs and reconnecting?
Do your server's Event Logs show anything?

HT1688 How do you print documents from an ipad one using an iphone?

I want to be able to print from my ipad one using my hot spot through my iphone. Is this possible?

No. Or, to be more accurate, yes, but it's not going to be worth the hassle. By the time you monkey around with all of that, you could have just purchased an AirPrint compatible printer and had done with it.

Color shift printing problem from LR solved!!

Check this discussion for workaround to the color shift printing problem in LR. It's for the 3800, but I assume it also applies to other Epson printers, and quite possibly to other printer vendors.

Yes it applies to Canon as well.

Problems printing transperencies from acrobat pro 9 using HP laserjet 2605 dn

Hello:
I have been "printing" PDF's from an indesign CS4 document to acrobat 9 pro (both are part of cs4 master collection). The in-design documents include photoshop cs4 documents with transparencies which have been created by processing images using a third party filter (on-one mask pro 4.1). The PDF's look fine (they maintain the transparencies as they should), but when I try printing to my HP color laserjet I have problems -- a background shows up which is the shape of the photoshop document (eg, it loses its transparency).
is there any fix or workaround for this. In have played with lots of options for both the indesign document, the PDF document, and the HP laserjet printer, but nothing seems to help. the PDF always looks fine and the printed document always loses the transparency.
Any thoughts would be apprecaited.
Thank you.

"IF" You are using, OSX.4.11 Try locating , downloading, installing AppleJack (there currently isn't a version for Leopard or Snow Leopard). The to Run Restart holding down the Command-S keys. This put you in Single User Mode (Raw UNIX).
when a screen full of print scrolls through and your left with a Blink Cursor, Type applejack.
simply follow directions. go by the numbers follow them in order they are given.
Now items 3&4 you have to do once for your system, and once for each User Account (name you gave computer when setting up example you gave name as John Smith name for user account would be johnsmith).
Once completed (1-5) hit return then choose Reboot or Shutdown.
In your case choose r and then hit return.
when it restarts wait, a whole bunch of cache files were dumped. You may even see the "dreaded "Blue screen for a little bit, and bits and piece of the desktop will appear until completely rebuilt.
After rebuilt Try printing.
If that doesn't work. Report back and maybe someone else can come up with an idea.

Tabloid duplex printing problem from CS4 (Acrobat and InDesign)

I cannot print a two-page tabloid (landscape mode) pdf document properly from a MacBook Pro or a Mac Pro running 10.6.2 using Adobe Products (Acrobat 8 or 9, or InDesign CS3 or CS4) to an HP LJ5550DN. The printed version prints on both sides of the paper, but the right 1/4 of each page doesn't print. Furthermore, if I reboot and print just one side, it prints fine, but when I select duplex I get this problem and if I try to print just one side again, it prints w/o the 1/4 of the right side of the paper.
I can print the tabloid duplex correctly using Preview on the same computers. I can also print correctly using Acrobat 7 from a Mac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I can print a single tabloid sheet correctly from Illustrator CS3 or CS4 from the Snow Leopard computers, but since Illustrator doesn't handle more than one page, can't send it duplex.
I conclude that the problem is the Adobe software under Snow Leopard. If you know what is wrong with the Adobe software, please send me the fix - it would streamline the process.

I'm having exactly the same problem, with a 5500dn. As with you, the problem is present in both CS3 and Acrobat 8 and 9, and I can print a duplex A3/tabloid PDF correctly with Preview. (only the colour balance is rubbish!)
Mac OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color Laserjet 5500 v3010.107 (although it's obviously not the driver).
Needless to say, any solution to this needs to address CS3 and later apps.
Bug report filed.
Thanks,
