Printing with lion

Was able to print with my Lexmark E260dn printer with Snow Leopard. Since Lion upgrade, it's a no go. System recognizes the printer, but then gives me an error message. I've downloaded the new driver from Lexmark, deleted and re-added the printer, and even reset printer preferences. Nothing works. Any ideas?

What is the error message? Is there anything helpful in Console? Have you tried repairing permissions?

No more Adobe virtual printer with Lion?

Hi everybody, I realized that I don' t see the virtual printer that usually came with Adobe Acrobat Pro anymore, so I wander if is something that Apple has stopped with Lion or is a bug on my MacPro. I do see a PDF button in Safari's Print window that allows to choose from some options (Save as PDF, etc.).
Does anyone know something about?
Thanks!

In Lion, open Safari, goto file, select print, select the "PDF" tab with a dropdown arrow at the bottom left corner, from the arrow select from the many options "Save as PDF..." this will allow you to save the pdf to a location on your harddrive for later viewing or printing options, which is exactly the same as using a pdf virtual printer in previous versions of Mac OSX.

Canon MF8050cn won't print with Lion ?

Hi anyone,
I'm pulling my hair trying to get this new printer working with my Mother's new iMac and have failed for the past 6-weeks!
I have followed all sorts of suggestions found here and elsewhere - and none of which have worked!
The printer is connected directly to the USB port and I'm simply trying to add it using the Canon UFR II LT v2.3 driver but it never communicates with printer.
Seems like there is a fundamental incompatibilty between this printer and Lion?
any suggestions, I haven't resorted to a firmware update yet, but maybe I should be looking at this too?
This has been a horrible time wasting experience for both her and me.

One of the problems I have encountered with the UFR2 driver is that it relies heavily on a background service and if this fails to run it will cause printer issues. So the first thing to check is that this "UFR II Backgrounder" service is running on the iMac. Open Activity Monitor and scroll down the list. Do you see this service?
Also, I cannot tell from your post if you have managed to add the printer and that the issue is that it won't print, or you have not been able to add the printer. If you have been able to add the printer but cannot print, then open System Information and select the Printers entry listed under Hardware. In the top right pane will be the installed printers and if you select the MF8050, the bottom right pane will show information about the print queue. Can you copy this information and post it back here please.

Printing with Lion and Adobe Reader 9.4.5

Today, after installing Lion Wed, I needed to print a pdf document with mixed landscape and portrait pages.
With AR 9.4.5 all the landscape pages were rendered in portrait, occupying about half of each sheet.
With Preview, all pages printed as they should.
A colleague printed the same file with Snow Leopard and AR 9.4.5: It printed as it should.
Either AR 9.4.5 is not fully compatible or (more likely) there is some obscure setting I need to change.
Any thoughts?
Phil

Thanks. I will give it a try!

Printing with Lion 10.7 and an HP b210 A printer

We installed Lion 10.7 on a new mac and the Apple store advised us to buy the HP B210 A printer, and while setting it up, it's saying it's not compatible. Any idea how to get this printer to work?

There was a recent Hp print driver release.

See if it makes a difference for you.

Mac with Lion OX, in print preview with PDF, only page 1 comes correctly, the rest misses some portion rest not

I have iMac desktop with Lion OS. I am using Firefox 6 web browser. Previously with Snowleopard OS I did not have any problems with printing, With Lion OS print commands have changed and when I click preview in PDF format for printing a web page, only page 1 of the document shows correctly. In second page, the text does not show all of the document and few lines at the boundary is missing and the font is different from page 1. I tried using Google Chrome browser and this does not have this problem. If I do not find a solution I may be forced to move to Google Chrome. I will really appreciate a response. Thanks.

Why not reconstruct the pages in InDesign they way you want the double pages to appear. There may even be an imposition script available that will do the trick. You could then output to pdf all the pages you want the full spread on. Leave the original to create the pages you wanted left as is.
You can ask in the ID forum about an imposition script. I know there was one with CS4, there may have been one with CS3.

Laserjet 1012 feeds pages with no printing - started with Lion installation.

laserjet 1012 stopped printing with Lion installation. Paper feeds correct number of pages but with no printing. Have contacted HP but since laserjet 1012 is old they refuse to help. Tried with new cartridge (had in stock) but still no printing. Have reset printers, checked that driver is current, etc. Help.

Thanks for the ideas Lanny
Unfortunately I have tried all - deleted and reinstalled the printer, printed from word, excel and PDF, updated the HP drivers last week with software update, ran software update this morning to make sure there was nothing new, and tried to print from my wife's iMac.
I am stumped!

How do you make Canon LBP7200cdn printer on Lion work!

Hi
I just bought this today.
Can not get it to print, I have managed, apparently, to install the software, and I am using the newer version that is supposed to address problems that were experienced under Lion. ( I am running 10.7.4)
It is asking for an IP address for the printer, which I do not know how to find. On my old epson C1100N, I could still see the printer even if I did not know the IP address.
I have tried to use it via USB, and that does not work, though it appears to be installed correctly.
40 minutes on the phone with Canon lead no where.
I know that all my connections are good, I am using the ethernet cable that the old machine was connected to.
I have even installed it on a Windows machine, and that won't work either.
Has anyone managed to get this printer to print with Lion 10.7.4 via the Network option?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Craig

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
The printer not working on the Windows machine, could very well just be me...I am not a windows guy and would like nothing more than to throw that computer out the window.
I have spent 40 mintues on the phone, and will hopefully get a call back tomorrow from tier 2 support as it has been escalated.
I have read through the user guide and it appears that I need to assign an IP address and tell the my computer the printers MAC address via Terminal. If this is true- I am astonished at the level of ridiculousness. I thought I was onto something with that but when I went to find the printers MAC address - surprise! I was not where it is indicated to be in the user manual.
If you have any ideas based on the assumption that the printer is functional but just requires a Jedi level of programming skill - I would appreciate hearing them.
Regretting my decision to change from Epson, you know, where you install the software and 2 seconds later are making prints...
Cheers
Craig

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7 Where is appletalk or the replacement?
My it guy has set all the Ricoh (The only brand of printers we use.) to enable Appletalk. I am unable to see how to enable appletalk or an equivalent on Lion and have spent 3 hours now searching for it. If I connect to the printer via TCP/IP it prints random characters. I have a Ricoh working for another moddle but I am needing to use this machine. HELP!!!!!

AppleTalk has been gone eons ago. Connect via USB and see what happens. If you are networking the printer then advise on your connection set up.

I bought the HP Envy 100 printer with my new Macbook Pro 13" and it does not seem to work with Lion. Any suggestions?

I bought my daughter a new MacbookPro 13" for grad school and selected the HP Envy 100 printer from the Apple Store website. When I just tried to install the printer, it said that that the software was not compatable with Lion. Any suggestions as to how to get it to work?

Sorry, but the response just takes you to the HP site which is of all possible assistance short of actual help!!
HP (and Apple?) need to fess up and tell all the people who have HP printers when they will "just work" with their machines and OS X Lion.... because for many of us, they just don't! It isn't rocket science guys.... blithely telling us that downloading S/W updates from Apple doesn't help.... because they don't solve the problems!

HP Officejet Pro 8500 prints slow with Lion. One page every 1.5 to 2 min. Apple support offered no help and HP unable to help. Any suggestions?

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless prints slow with lion. One page every 1.5 to 2 min. Apple support and HP no help. Any suggestions?

Although printer is wireless capable I have it connected directly to iMac via USB to help with speed. I just completed resetting printer and reinstalling to no avail, still approx 2 min to print one page.

Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer

Hi
Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer
Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
Best Regards

Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

Are you using the correct printer driver? Did you contact HP tech support for help?

Share Win XP Printer with OS X Lion

It appears to be impossible to print directly to my Lanier 5622 printer with 10.7 (due to network and/or driver difficulties), so it has been suggested that I enable printer sharing on the office XP machine and print everything through there. Problem is, the website I was given with setup instructions doesn't help me with Lion.
What's the quickest, most painless way to do this?

For some reason Apple does not want to let its user Sharing/Print to a networked printer as this is a ongoing problem.
They even suggest that the printer be connected to the computer by USB during the setup of the drivers for the printer.

Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

John -
My "Use" menu only contains Apple print drivers. And Canon drivers, from the location I set this machine up. None for my home use....which is a Xerox machine.
Not being on the menu, I don't know how to acquire this generic driver.
Any further helpful hints?
I appreciate your thoughts and help.
