Printing problems since 10.4 was installed

Last week I installed a clean copy of Tiger on my G5. Since then My HP DesignJet 1055cm (connected over a LAN) keeps giving me a weird error: Job Stopped. I restart the job (it reads printing under the status bar) and it stops by itself. Then when I try to print on the Xerox DCCS 50 it gives the error: Network host "IP#" is busy; will retry in 30 seconds... It stays the same way like on a loop. Both drivers come included with the 10.4. The network settings are ok, and the machines can be ping into. My other HP printer works ok. Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks for the help!

IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
Your help and advice is most appreciated.
Many kind regards,

Printing Problems since 10.4.0

My problems with printing have not improved from 10.4.0-10.4.3. I still have problems with epson printer utility. On any machine with tiger, it will just crash on launch.
I've tried re-installing the drivers, then I figured 10.4.3 would have fixed it since their were around 600 bug fixes (including printing). But, nope, still not working. I then tried going to the printer preferences and remove the printer and then re-add it to then find out the printer would not work at all. So just to get printing back I had to install gimp-print drivers so that i could at least print again. I am very frustrated with this problem. No Epson printers that I have dealt with work right with tiger. I love tiger but hate the printer problems.
My machine is very clean, I do regular maintenance. Does anyone have any advice, or is everyone having the same problems.

I am on a G4, installed Tiger and could not get my printers to work. I have an older Epson Stylus Color 900 and a new HP Business Injet 2800. I called Apple and went through a variety of steps unplugging everything, removing, then adding printer in print utility and the usual stuff. That got the HP going but still nothing from the Epson. Apple suggested contacting EPSON (i.e., I have no solution). I emailed EPSON tech support and they actually provided a solution that works, if you follow the steps carefully. Here's what they sent:
"Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
Please follow the instructions below to completely remove and reinstall the
resident Epson driver package for your printer. You can leave the printer
on and connected throughout.
REMOVE FILES
1. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
2. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
3. Double click on the PRINTERS folder.
4. Drag the EPSON folder to the trash can.
5. Close any open windows.
6. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
7. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
8. Double click on the RECEIPTS folder.
9. Delete any "Epson" receipts.
10. Close all open windows and restart your computer.
REINSTALL THE EPSON DRIVER PACKAGE
1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc. Open CD when it appears on the
desktop.
2. Find and double-click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
3. After the installer opens, choose the following custom install options:
-Check "Printer drivers" and use arrow next to this entry to expand this
category.
-Check "Epson" below the "Printer drivers" heading. (You do not need to
install other manufacturer's packages.)
4. Click "Install" and follow prompts to reinstall the resident Epson
printer driver package. Restart the computer after installation is
complete.
READD THE PRINTER
1. Go into HD > Applications > Utilities and open the Printer Setup
Utility. The "Printer List" window appears.
2. Highlight and delete any existing references to your Epson printer. (If
you want to be thorough and do not have any other printers on the Mac,
choose "Printer Setup Utility" from the top of the screen and "Reset
Printing System". Confirm resetting the system. This clears any existing
printer entries and queues. If you have other printers on the Mac and use
this reset, you will need to readd them later.)
3. Click ADD. Printer Browser window appears. (At this point your Epson
printer must be on and connected.)
4. Highlight the desired Epson printer model and click the MORE PRINTERS
button at the bottom of the window. (Do not change any other fields.)
5. A window now opens which is identical to 10.2. and 10.3, where you can
select EPSON USB (for a USB cable connection) or EPSON FIREWIRE (for a
firewire connection) at the top of the screen. Highlight your printer's
name and then hit ADD to return to the Printer List with all available
printer/layout options now showing. (If you are unable to see the full
description under "Kind" you may need to expand the Printer Setup Utility
window or extend the "Kind" column to make this visible.)
6. Then, when you have opened a photo and are ready to print, go to File >
Page Setup and File > Print in the program you are printing from and ensure
that the specific printer/layout option you want to use is also selected as
"Printer" or "Format for".
I now have both my printers back. I was starting to think I never would. Not sure that this will work for you, but trying email EPSON via their web site.

Word 2003 always asks to save the normal.dot since Acrobat 9 was installed

Hello,
Until Acrobat 9 Standard was installed on the 5000 PCs of our company, the following issue never occured.
As soon as Acrobat 9 Standard was installed, our users started to complain of messages asking them to save the normal.dot every time Word 2003 or Outlook 2003 if Word is used as editor, is closed. And even if they save the normal.dot, of course, next time they are requested to save again.
And if we uninstall Acrobat 9 Standard on the PCs concerned, the issue dissapear... and reappear if we re-install it.
So, the issue is clearly linked to Acrobat 9 Standard.
Of course, the Word 2003 option "Confirm to save the normal.dot" is NOT checked.
It doesn't seems to happens on all the PCs but we can't isolate the commun point between those which have the issue.
All our PCs are made by ghosting so are pretty similar, with Windows XP SP3 avec Office 2003 SP3... and now Acrobat 9.1.3 Standard.
In case that would help the diagnostic, on the PCs without the issue, the message doesn't appear, but, still, the behavior of the normal.dot changes : the time stamp changes every time Word or Outlook is closed. Before the install of Acrobat 9, the timestamp was not changing everything, but only of changes were made.
So, I guess Acrobat 9 Standard (probably the add-in for pdfmaker) forces the saving of all the .dot everytime Word or Outlook is closed.
Can you help us ?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply, but the issue is the same even when Word is not the default editor in Outlook.
Regarding the Office 2003 and Acrobat 9 updates, we are already up-to-date for Acrobat 9, but it's true that all our PCs have not yet received the SP3 for Office 2003, so it may be a trail to follow.
But I think the issue also happens even on some PCs with most up-to-date Office 2003, so I'd say it's probably not the solution.
But it doesn't seems that this kind of issue is widly encountered (I mean elsewhere than in our company).
So there is probably something specific to our environnement. And since we pretty much "lock-down" the PCs (to avoid users to mess with it), it's not impossible that some restrictions somewhere on the PC causes the issue... at least to some categories of users who are missing some authorisations.
But I'm sure that when we uninstall the "Adobe PDFMaker" component (in add/remove programs), the problem dissappear. So we are probably going to adopt this "solution" to make the steam goes down among our annoyed employees... until we'll find a better one.

Canon printer problem *since 4 months*

OS & printer updates come and go, but my printing problem persists:
Before my Mac even tries to communicate with my Canon printer, I get an unspecified error message: "Error during printing". Immediately, right after hitting the print button. No matter if the printer is online or offline. In the split of a second.
Console log message:
Pages[565] Printing failed because PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog() returned -30870.
PS: There is already a long list of these errors:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog()returned-30870.&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Thanks a lot for a helpful hint!

Did you try resetting the printing system as suggested?
I haven't experienced the same problem as you, but it did fix the one problem I had with printing.
System Preferences -> Print & fax. Hold the Ctrl-key when you click on the list of printers, and select 'Reset Printing System' from the options. You'll need to reset your printer options after doing this.

Prints too dark since Snow Leopard was installed in my iMac

I have an iMac that is about six years old. It had Tiger and since I got Snow Leopard installed, the prints are not looking right. They certainly don't match what I see on the screen. I have an Epson R1900 and I was very pleased with it and my iMac before. I have Adobe Lightroom 1.4 and just got Lightroom 3. I have CS 3, but just downloaded the trial version of CS5 extended. I have tried upgrading the printer with Epson Common Updater for the R1900. That file is Epson 14284.dmg. It came out on 6//21/11. I also tried one that came out 10/28/09, which is 13523.dmg. In both cases I get a message saying system/library/extensions apple mobile device.kext installed improperly and can't be used. The version of my printer is 8.61. The OS version is 10.6.8.
I will call Epson tomorrow. I tried calling Apple twice now and both techs couldn't help.
Neil Evans

I had done exactly that. I have an Eye-One Display 2 and used it to determine what the brightness was. I had set it to 116. It was set at its brightest setting when I got it back from QuadStar, the local Apple repair shop. The latest prints are closer to what I had with Tiger OS. I still don't know why I got the Apple Mobile Device messages when I was downloading the two Epson updated drivers and the Apple Software Update. I'm thinking they were meaningless. My ITunes works OK. ??????
Thanks Hal for your help.

How do I let Apple know there is a print problem since the latest update?

Hi,
I am unable to print since I installed the latest version of Mac OS X 10.5.7 over the weekend. I use a Lexmark X5470 all-in-one printer. I had the same problem when I switched from Tiger to Leopard until Apple produced a patch. I tried it on both of my computers and I have the same problem on both.
How can I let Apple know that the same problem has occurred with the latest Mac OS X 10.5.7 update?
In the printing window I get two messages. The first says the there is a color missing , to delete and re-install the driver. The second, There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or stop the job and try again.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Nerowolfe,
I contacted Lexmark, it was them who told me to let Apple know about this problem. They were not aware of the 10.5.7 update????
That probably explains it. Sometimes a minor bug in 3rd party software becomes a problem after a system update catches it.
From all that I know (which is not much) it is not a problem that is specific to my macbook or g5. I will try to post the issue in bugreport.
They usually let you know if it has been previously reported and eventually, the disposition of the request.
You might try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer.
Did you use the full combo manual download? That would be another thing to do - you can reapply it over the one you have.
Also run DU and repair permissions before and after any update.

Printer Problems since updateing to WIndows 8.1

Before I updated to Windows 8.1 the other month everything was fine on my new laptop then I went to scan something from my HP Photosmart B109n and it didn't work because the driver was now missing and the HP app that replace the HP printer manager is useless.
On the advice of the HP site I tried to download the new driver but it wouldn't go, it said I had to remove the exsisting installation but when I try it just restarts the computer but is still there afterwards. It turns out that the uninstall has gone missing from the current and the install is missing from the install program I have downloaded.
As a last resort I used the sytem restore but not only has the printer issues not changed but now some of the pre-loaded apps won't work and are asking for the Developers Licence to be renewed.
I am at a lost as to what to do next - please help!

Your notebook isn’t known to me but in case of Win 8.1 update you should check this Toshiba update to Win 8.1 page: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/gen...ws8_1-message/
There you can check if the Win 8.1 is supported on your notebook and how to perform the step-by-step update to Windows 8.1
Some drivers must be uninstalled and updated after the Win 8.1 update installation!
Regarding your printer issue:
Every printer manufacturer provides own drivers for the Windows system.
It’s not known to me if HP released compatible Win 8.1 drivers for the own Photosmart B109n printer but to be honest this issue isn’t related to the Toshiba notebook. If you have problems using HP printer in connection with Win 8.1, you should visit the printer manufacturer support page to get some workarounds and troubleshooting tips.

Printing Problems since upgrading to 10.5.6

We are having problems printing since updating to 10.5.6
1. We have a HP5000 black & white printer and when we print to it straight from InDesign CS3 it will enlarge the the job. We have to make a pdf then print from Acrobat. (We are connected by Appletalk)
2. We have a Xerox 6060 Color machine and we cannot print to it either. IT doesn't enlarge it but it just errors out.
I found a way to go around these problems which was to connect by "Bonjour" to a computer that has not been updated yet. Then we can print correctly but at sometime we will have to update that computer then we won't be able to print.
Has anyone else had these problems and/or has anyone found a solution????
Thanks for the help!

IPhone5 shuts down at 20%-30% battery since new IOS7 was installed

Ever since I installed the new IOS 7 operating system the day it premiered, not only do I have battery issues in which it drains quickly (seems to be a common occurrence) but now if I am using the phone (app, imsg, etc) when it gets down to about 30%, sometimes 23% the phone completely shuts off as if it was at 0% battery life (I say that exact number because it's been at exactly 23% on a few occasions where the phone shut off). The icon pops up that looks like a drained battery with an indication to plug it in, and when I plug it in the phone turns itself on immediately and then works fine. I was told to reset it, hard reset it etc, all of which I tried and to no avail. I have spoken with someone from Apple and they are telling me I need a new battery. The phone is just over a year old (so of course, they won't cover the battery replacement even though the issue started about two weeks ago and it's now two weeks past it's 1 year warranty), and I highly doubt it's a coincidence that the battery is suddenly acting up after the new operating system update. Is anyone having this same issue? Helpful comments would be appreciated. Thanks :)

I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

Canon MX700 Printer problem since upgrade to Lion.

Hi
Since upgrading to Lion every time I try to print something on my Canon MX700 networked printer I get a communication error. I found that what I have to do to get it to work is to print the document a second time and then delete the first document in the printer queue. This pauses the printer and when it is resumed the second document prints successfully.
Anyone else have this problem or can anyone shed any light on what might be wrong?
Scanning seems to work OK.
Many Thanks

you need to upgraded canon MX700 that's support Lion.
you can download updated driver from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_s eries/pixma_mx700#DriversAndSoftware
But remember, you should trash the BJPrinters folder, located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon. This action to uninstall driver canon MX700 that's installed on your mac

Printing problem since downloaded Windows 10

I own a Brother 7820 N (printer, fax, scan, copier). Ever since I downloaded Windows 8.1, I can no longer scan. Tonight, given that problem, I downloaded Windows 10. Now, I can't even successfully print, despite being given a PIN and purportedly setting up (successfully, according to some HP message) my computer with the printer. Please help.

Hi,
Would it be possible for you to let me know the following details:
1. Have you tried to re-install the Printer Driver?
2. Have you tried printing from any other application. Do you see the same results?
3. Could you try and see if Solution 2 on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html helps (i.e. Turning Duplex Printing OFF.) It could be a case wherein your printer does not support Duplex Printing and that might be causing the issue.
Thanks

Printing problems since 10.4.8

Since I installed 10.4.8, I have had numerous problems with the computer freezing when attemting to print. This has happened when printing "confirmations" or PDFs in Mozilla, Safari and Preview (so far). I get an error message that the "application has unexpectedly quit". I've tried repairing permissions to no avail. Any ideas?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) iMac Intel Duo, 2.33 GHz, 2G RAM

I downloaded this but it wasn't able to be installed (only able to be installed on a Power PC). Also, my software update claims that I am up-to-date.

Printing problem since updating to 10.1.2

Running Adobe Reader 10.1.2 with Windows XP Professional and a Dell 924 All-In-One Printer -
When I print a PDF document, I get a series of light blue, evenly-spaced horizontal lines across graphics, diagrams & illustrations, but not text.
Previous to Uninstalling/Reinstalling Adobe Reader last night, lines were printing across text as well.
Additional Observation: If Printer Advanced settings has "Print as Image" checked, blue lines cover text as well; Unchecked, only graphics, diagrams & illustrations, but not text.
Anyone else having similar problem? Fix?
