Printing problems in Mavericks

In Mavericks, my HP laser printers (P2015dn and 3600n) won't print properly from PDF files accessed online -- they print, on one page, 19 miniatures of the lower righthand corner of the page. If I download the PDFs from the net and print from the downloads, they print properly. This is a very frustrating workaround.
Also, my envelopes won't print properly from WORD. They display properly as horizontal (landscape) on screen. But when I print, the text prints vertically (portrait). Most frustrating.
Any cures? I fear there is an incompatability problem between Mavericks and HP drivers and Word.

I too am having the same issue with #10 envelopes. It displays properly but does not print properly. I am using an Epson Workforce 630. Also since Maverick upgrade by Epson scan feature is not available.

Printing problem in Mavericks with Brother MFC-6800

I installed Mavericks, then downloaded the Brother MFC-6800 printer and scanner drivers, then used Software Update. I continually get a message that the printer is not connected. When you pull out the USB cable the driver shows no connection but when you plug the USB cable back in it still says not connected. If you start both the printer and computer you can get one successful print but after that you can't print because it says the printer is not connected. Every time I restart there is a second Brother printer driver installed.
The scanning software from Brother hangs when trying to scan. Image Capture doesn't even see the Brother scanner.
It seems to me Brother needs to release a new driver.
Does anyone know anything else?

Install this driver

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.

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?

Mavericks printing problem

Since downloading Mavericks for my Mac I have not been able to print from Illustrator or InDesign CS3. Would upgrading to a newer version of Creative Suites help? I am using Epson printers and no new drivers are available. In contacted Apple and they just said, "Sorry about that."

Hello Mitziart,
The answer is on this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/crash-printing-illustrator-indesign-cs3.html
However, it doesn't refer to Mavericks, which hadn't been released at the time. The fix is throwing some files away as you will see, and then you will be able to print. However, Mavericks replaces the files eventually. Perhaps the Apple techs might explain why, or tell you how to prevent it.
I'm going to give them a try.

Maverick and Photosmart 7150 printer problems

Updated to Maverick os x and now my hp photosmart 7150 printer won't work .. can I update .. and if so how do I update my printer driver for maverick?

Hello
I believe the HP Photosmart 7150 was released back around 2002.
Which version of OSX did you upgrade from ? Were you running previous OS X 10.6 when you upgraded to new 10.9 ?
Unfortunately, the HP Photosmart 7150 has not been supported for some time now with the last few releases of OS X.

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.

Good luck. :+)

Need a good print manual for Mavericks and/or Mountain Lion

I'm still a print guy even after using Macs for almost 20 years. I have currently have a copy of David Pogue's Mac OS X Leopard Edition of The Missing Manual and have found it quite helpful over the past seven years. I recently have upgraded my Macs to a 21.5" iMac (summer 2013) running Mountain Lion and a MacBook Pro (January 2014) running Mavericks. Would it be helpful to get Pogue's Missing Manual for Mavericks?
I have not yet updated my iMac to Mavericks. I'm a little leery of the "bugs" that folks say are present in Mavericks. As a matter of fact, I am leery of any Apple system updates. I had problems updating a 2007 iMac and more recently my iPad. But that's another story.
How about Pogue's manual?

Mavericks for Dummies is good too. OS X Mavericks For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)): Bob LeVitus: 9781118691885: Amazon.com: Books
Usually, though, all the info I need is already in the Help menu.
For what it's worth, I haven't had any problems with Mavericks. Fast and flawless. Almost without exception, the problems people report on this discussion are from incompatible/old/bad third party software, in particular, the crapware twins, MacKeeper and CleanMyMac, and antivirus software.

OS Lion and Samsung ML-1660 printer problem

Since downloading OS Lion my ML-1660 laser printer won't print unless I switch it off then switch it back on. It then prints OK. If I want to print another document I have to sw. off and on again. This problem doesn't happen on my Epson RX520 3 in 1 printer.
I've downloaded the latest Samsung driver software but this makes no difference. Can anyone advise how I can rectify this, please?

Hi, I have the same problem with Maverick, with mountain lion worked perfect. in the get this error: The function `CGContextErase 'is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, This application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby Contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.

Epson Driver Problem with Mavericks?

After hooking up a new Epson-XP610 printer with my Mac Mini, Printers and Scanners in Mavericks System Prefs shows two printers -- one labeled as an Epson-610 Series with Driver version 1.0 and the other labeled Epson_XP_610_Series_2 with Driver version 9.14. The first one appears to be a wi-fi version since it has a trimmed down "lite printer utility" that directs me to a Bonjour page on Epson's web site, which tells me there is no software or firmware update for that printer. The second one has a more elaborate printer utility and appears to be the one that's hardwired to my computer. Epson's Software Updater tells me the Series 2 printer should be using Driver version 9.17 and the Mavericks page on Epson's web site also tells me I should be using Driver version 9.17 for the printer while relying on Apple's software updater for the scanner driver used by Image Capture. But when I download the 9.17 driver and click "install" the driver version shown in the printer utility still shows up as 9.14. Why is Mavericks refusing to load the updated printer driver and forcing me to use the old 9.14 version?

My theory with the printer problems that people have with Mavericks is that the printer manufacturer applications and "utilities" are not very good. I think that the printer manufacturers still think of the Mac market as being of less value than the PC market, and as such, the software engineers that design their Mac software are not Rhodes scholars. Not the best and brightest. Kind of like Al Qaeda: they do not assign the smartest guys to be the suicide bombers.
Try this:
Go to Applications > System Preferences > Printers and Scanners
Control-click on one of your printers and select "Reset printing system..."
This will delete all your print drivers.
Do a factory reset on your printer. You will have to refer to your printer's manual for how.
This is very important: uninstall all other printer manufacturer software, applications, and "utilities".
If you connect to your printer via WiFi, you will have to reconnect it to your network and enter your network password.
Go back to Printers and Scanners and let it download a print driver from Apple.
If this does not work then you may also have to reset your wifi network (if you print via WiFi) by powering everything down (modem, router, computer, printer) and then powering each item up. Power them up in that order (modem, router, computer, printer), and let each power up fully before going on to the next.
The same idea also works with misbehaving scanners: remove the printer manufacturer scanner apps and use Image Capture instead; let Image Capture download the scanner driver from Apple.

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.

Not printing text-only graphics on Canon. Not printer problem-print ok on Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Not printing text only on Canon--grahics print ok. Not printer problem. Prints ok on a Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.
System Preferences > Print&Fax > ...
... shows a list of all set-up printers.
If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.
