Printing probs in mountain lion.

Hello there,
I've a 27" iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM memory, under OS X version 10.8.2. But since i installed the new OS the headaches is a continuum feeling.
I use my computer for work, mainly computer simulations using  fortran. In the new version it's impossible to run my old codes because there is a change in the system files. The virtual box doesn't work. The scanning support I got the past week. So, a cumbersome problem that discourages me to look for and install new MAC OS updates. On my best guesses the people from Mac don't think about final users need. In the continuity of their work.
The most annoying situation is the problems during the printing procces. Some time the computer-printer conection work and some time don't. I have an old and perfectly functioning HP LajerJet 5MP, unless I'm in OS X 10.8.2.
I followed all indications and comments that are in the forums. But nothing works.
Some comments, links or something that could help having a smooth printing.
Best,
Erwin

Hi Erwin,
I had a similar problem printing on a network.  Tried several different things and finally had to roll back to 10.8.1.
Cheers,
Miguel

  • How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in 5x7 format?

    How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in a 5x7 format? 5x7 is not listed as an option in the print menu.

    For custom print sizes, see the software called Clickbooks: http://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/cbmac/
    I would ask them if what you want is possible before purchasing.  A customer of mine got it to make many other custom formatted pages.   Don't have them anymore, but they I'm sure could tell you if it is possible.  Be sure to also indicate your printer model.

  • Need new all-in-one printer compatible w/Mountain Lion

    I upgraded my MBP to Mountain Lion a few months ago, and I'm having a printer crisis.  I have a Canon MP500 which does a very nice job printing photos, documents and copying, but the scanning feature won't work with Mountain Lion. I contacted Canon and they indicated that they would not be upgrading the drivers for that printer to support Mountain Lion.
    In addition, I have an old (make that really old) HP multi-purpose device that I kept just for faxing, but that finally broke down yesterday.
    So, since I have to replace the scanner and need fax capability, I would like to get one device that will do everything.  It's important that it prints photos well, but I don't have room for a large machine.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    I've got an Epson NX530 that works nicely over Wireless. I've never directly connected it.
    The NX are the home/consumer versions and they have some slightly more expensive home office/small business versions that use the same mechanisms.
    I don't think any of the front panel buttons work (except Copy), but I can scan from Image Capture which I prefer over any of the bundled scan utilities I've ever had. I think my wife scans using the Epson software and has never asked me how to use it.
    I really don't print that much, so I can't comment on the economics of ink usage.

  • Acrobat Printing Failure Mac Mountain Lion

    Multipage PDF documents fail to print using iMac Mountain Lion (10.8) and Acrobat 11.0 . This failure is occurring on both USB and Network printers (HP Laserjets). The spooler appears to hang (Printing........). The printers begin to blink error code lights. This does not occur with Word documents. I have narrowed it down to only printing via Acrobat and via Safari (PDF). It does not occur when printing PDFs from Chrome. I have removed the printers. Re-installed printers. Cleared permissions. All multiple times. There is something clearly related to Acrobat's printing and not related to the printers or the connections. Please help.

    I experimented with this a bit today and was not able to print from a couple of older G3s running OS X 10.4.11 to a printer shared on a 10.8.1 machine.  I was able to print from that G3 running OS X 10.3.x to the printer on OS X 10.8.1.
    The only thing I turned up in the logs came from the OS X 10.4.11 machine where the CUPS error_log showed--

    I would suggest that all that have this problem submit a report to Apple using their feedback page or via radar if you have a developer's account.

  • Epson pro 3880 printer will not print photos with mountain lion

    epson stylus pro printer will  not print photos  using mountain lion ??

    The drivers that come in the box with the printer are already obsolete by the time it is placed into service. If Software update does not send you new epson drivers, check the epson web site.
    Remove [-] button and re-Add [+] button the printer after the driver update.

  • Saving PDF's using Print page on Mountain Lion?

    Prior to converting to Mountain Lion I could save PDF's from the Print page, now I get a message saving PDF files when printing is not supported. Unfortunately when I use File>Save and try to email it, I only get the first page in my email NOT the PDF document that I saved.

    hi
    you should be able to right click with your mouse on the pdf document and it should show you a drop down menu with 'Open in...' options, Preview should be there?

  • HP still doesn't have Print drivers for Mountain Lion?

    A couple of months ago, I upgraded my MBP (mid-2008; 2.4 GHZ) to Mountain Lion.  I am now running OS X 10.8.2.  Once I completed the upgrade, I discovered that I was unable to print to my networked HP Laser printer  (It is an HP LaserJet P1606dn).  The printer appears as one of the selectable printers, but there is a message stating that I need software from the manufacturer in order to print.  So, I checked HPs website and discovered that the product is unsupported in Mountain Lion, but that "a software update is to be issued in Fall 2012".  I just checked their website again, and here is what I found on the product support page:
    Product Supported Soon in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    HP is committed to providing the best product experience for the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion operating system. 
    Today, a solution for your printer is not available for Mountain Lion. However, a driver update will be available in 2013 .
    HP aspires to provide the most up-to-date information on HP drivers and software. Please check back for updates.
    Has anyone found, or know of, a work-around for this issue?  I have not been able to use this printer from my MBP since upgrading.  Once I disovered this limitation, I defered upgrading our iMac to 10.8, so that I am able to print from at least one of our computers.   Appreciate any solutions anybody may have found to this limitation.  It seems unfathomable to me that HP could have a mainstream product like this NOT supported in 10.8, especially since the operating system has been on the market for many months.  And to state that the driver will be "available in 2013" is grossly unacceptable.  We'll be on 10.9 by the time they get around to updating their drivers for 10.8.

  • Printer compatibility to Mountain Lion operating system

    Is my Hp 3000 series J310 wireless printer compatible with my Mountain Lion operating system

    Becky50,
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't print mail from mountain lion

    Since installing the upgrade of Mountain Lion my wife has lost the ability to print email messages.  I saw a few posts on here about this issue but never saw a workaround or a fix for this issue.  Anyone have an idea of how to get by this until an update fixes the issue.  This is the only program that has lost ability to print. 
    Thanks

    Problems with HP Printer working wirelessly after installing Mountain Lion. After calls to Apple and HP found this Solution on a HP discussion Board. it works. my Printer is the Photosmart Plus B209a-m but the fellow how posted the Solution did it for another HP Model.
    1. On the printer navigate to the Wireless or Network menu.
    2. Select Restore Defaults.
    3. On your computer look for a wireless network named 'hpsetup' and connect to it.
    4. Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to see its IP address. (on my b209a-m Printer the IP info was found by pressing the Wireless Icon)
    5. Type the IP address into the address bar of a web browser to see the printer's internal settings.
    6. Click on the Network tab and look for the Wireless Setup Wizard and run it.
    7. The Passphrase is the password you use on your wireless connection.
    8. Now change the network name on your computer back to your wireless network.
    The printer will now be connected to your network.  Connect the computer back to the network and re-add the printer from System Preferences.
    Hope this works--- it did for me.

  • How do you print reminders in Mountain Lion

    I was able to print in previous version but can not find a way to print reminders in new OS version of Mountain Lion? Any ideas?

  • Transfer custom print settings to mountain lion

    Hi,
    I have previously transferred .plist files from one computer to another in order to transfer or preserve custom print settings (I have lots). However, when I tried this from a Lion machine to a Mountain Lion machine, it did not work. Examining the .plist file suggests there are some differences, particularly at the end of the file. Does anyone have any insight on what I want to do before I get my hands dirty trying to hack the file myself?
    Thanks!

    Why not?
    When you say "all you have to do copy the entire Mail folder in the user's /Library folder" ... where should I copy this to? As I understand things you are telling me to copy the mail folder from Mac Pro "A" to Mac pro "B" but I don't know to what location?
    What part of copy the entire Mail folder in the user's /Library folder was not understandable? That implies to the same user's Library folder on MP B.

  • How to choose an air printer for OS Mountain Lion 10.8.3

    I am needing a printer for my macbook pro. Would like a multi-function laser printer that will print wirelessly. In reading the reviews on the Apple site, most of them are bad and talk about not working with the operating system. I will be using it for printing shipping and mailing labels, and general use printing. Does anyone have a printer that they would recommend? Your help is appreciated.

    My old Brother printer has churned out 60,000 pages and is still going strong. And it has worked without problems on every OS version since 10.4. That model is no longer being sold, but i would recommend the Brother brand without reservation.

  • PLEASE HELP? Can no longer print PDFs after Mountain Lion update?

    I have a ton of labels to print though Ebay, but I've tried everything?
    I am able to print in any other file formet just fine. When I try to print PDF, it either prints VERY faded or acts like it's printing, but nothing is showing up on the page. I am so frustrated. I've been dealing with this for 2 days!
    I am not tech savvy, so if there is a dumbed down way you can help me with this ASAP, I would be so grateful! Ebay buyers can be rutheless if packages are not sent quickly, so the sooner the better.

    sorry!!! It is a Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW.
    Have made sure all ML / Apple updates are done. Checked the Epson site and there are no updates for 10.8

  • Printer problems with mountain lion

    Are the drivers for your printer are up to date? You probably can print one copy cause it doesn't access the option window in your application.
