Problem Printing with iMac from XP Printer

Just got my iMac yesterday and it runs well. Using the iFelix website someone gave me hear, I set up my iMac to print from an HP Officejet 7310 connected to my windows XP machine. I was able to connect to my workgroup, and computer, and find the printer and connect to it. The driver, however for my computer is not there. I tried the Officejet 9100, and generic print device, and when I print I get the following:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%RBINumCopies: 1
%%Pages: (atend)
%APLDSCEncoding: UTFS
%%Title: (M
That prints out on the first sheet of paper, and then about 10 pages go through the printer totally blank, and then it will print that again. Not sure why it says Adobe, I do have Adobe CS 1 installed, could that be interferring maybe?
Anyways, I went to HP's site to download the driver. Here is the site I went to. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&produc t=391182&lang=en
I downloaded the first choice under driver, the "HP-All-in-one printing only web installer for Mac OSX." After I ran the file and it said it installed, I went back into my printer utility in the iMac and went to change printer model for the shown 7310. The officejet 7310 still does NOT show up in the list. I am unsure what to do and am totally lost, as this is my first iMac. Can someone please help me; I need to print quite frequently.

I think I might have figured it out. I went and downloaded something called ES-Ghost Script, Foomatic, and the HPIJS install files. After running ghost script and foomatic, I ran the HPIJS installer here on an iMac at work and when I go to printer utility and select the brand/model, I now see "HP OfficeJet 7300 Foomatic/HPIJS (recommended)" in my choice of model names. When I get home I will have to try this and I hope it works! I am still kind of confused as to why it printed out what it did using a different driver and saying Adobe. I hope CS1 didn't screw up something.

    Using Dell printer with imac?

    Very questionable, most of them only have drivers for Windows. I'd suggest looking at Printer and scanner software 10.6.x and see if your Dell is on the list. If yes then you're OK, if not time to replace it.

  • I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to allow wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

    I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to enable wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

    I’ve used several wireless printers with a 4510 and 5510 Jetpack and they all print just fine. The MHS890L does not support WPS. The WPS Wikipedia article briefly addresses the reason why you should not use WPS.  If you’re having trouble setting up your printer the manufacturer has a toll free support line to help you. Your Jetpack has the Wi-Fi Password on the bottom, under the battery, and or in the LED display.

  • Printer Driver issue with iMac & HP 1200 Printer?

    A friend has this combination, asked me to help him with a printer problem. The HP 1200 Laserjet shows in the "Printer Setup" window, is the default printer. The printer shows up in the hardware connected to the USB bus. BUT, when you try to print, the application printing goes through its normal print flush to driver. Then the printer icon down on the dock shows "waiting for connection," and times out in that state, never to actually print.
    EXCEPT! When the guy unplugs the entire system (not the same for restart) and plugs it back in, the printer works, prints everything in its queue, UNTIL he puts the machine to sleep, then he's stuck again. What is happening? Anyone have a clue?

    I would imagine he downloaded the latest driver for the intel based mac. Aside from that you can goto System Preferences > Printer & Fax > Printer setup > Printer setup utility(top of the screen) and reset the Printing system.

  • Issue with running Lexmark Prestige Pro805 printer with iMac running 10.3.9

    Thought I'd share this with you in case anyone else runs into this problem.
    Recently bought a Lexmark Prestige Pro 805 printer to service a home network. Had no issues with the printer using 10.6 on MacBook Pro, 10.5 on Intel iMac and also running on Laptop with Windows XP all running off same network via USB connection into a Time Machine.
    However when tried running this off an iMac PPC using 10.3.9 although I could print after initial install subsequent prints after logging off and on hit the problem of "Unable to read CUPS raster data".
    Lexmark driver updates and firmware updates failed to fix issue and contacted Lexmark who advised me to do a complete uninstall and re-install but to same effect. They then determined this was a CUPS issue and I should contact Apple. Looked on this forum and found a message posted in Nov 2005 which suggested doing a disk repair off the original install disk in order to repair corrupted CUPS directories (simple to say after 6 years - where exactly did I put those disks?).
    Anyway did this and indeed both permissions and disks needed repair and it fixed the issue.
    As it took me a while to get to the answer hopefully by posting this if anyone else comes across this issue they can save some time!

    Thanks for posting your solution. May help another Mac user in the future.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Cannot print with authentication from acrobat pro on osx

    My company has a printer that requires authentication in the form of a 5 digit "account code", which is entered into the print driver installed on my laptop (OSX 10.9).  My printer service company has saved the account code in my print driver so that whenever I submit a print job it is sent to the printer with the account code and the job prints properly.  If a print job is submitted without an account code then the job is rejected and never prints.
    Adobe Acrobat Pro NEVER uses the default printer settings that I have set up on my computer.  Which means that most of the time when I print from adobe acrobat the print job is rejected.  If I click on the "printer..." button to access the print driver then my default settings show up and my account code is included with my print job but that NEVER happens automatically, which means that EVERY TIME I print something I have to remember to bring up my print driver and verify the settings.  This is very inconvenient and is unnecessary with any other piece of software I use.
    I have updated to the most recent print driver for my device.
    I have updated to the most recent version of my operating system.
    I have updated to the most recent version of adobe acrobat pro.
    I am able to print from every other application on my computer without any additional steps.
    I am able to open a pdf in preview and print without any additional steps but when I open the same pdf in adobe acrobat my print job is rejected. 
    Please provide a way to use default system printer settings without additional steps with printing from adobe acrobat pro.

    I have the same issue as you Dan. I have 2 Macs, one running Acrobat 9 which has no issue so it seems to be the most recent version causing this issue. It is annoying for the person printing it, especially when it's only in the one application

  • HP Sprout error when printing with PowerDriver from Sawgrass

    HI, i am getting an error when i try to print a project from the Sprout Workplace with the PowerDriver v4 software from Sawgrass. Any info/guidance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!

    My workaround by using a virtual PDF printer isn't as good as I hoped. If the files generated by printing with flashplayer exceed about 3 pages the temp file generated in /var/spool/cups is so big that it exceeds my partitions size.
    The file can get up to more than 1GB. With documents from one or two pages the temp file is about 500MB, the correct pdf gets generated after that and is placed under /var/spool/cups-pdf/<user> and is about 500kb small. The very big temp file get's deleted after that.
    Why is this temp file so big and how can I avoid it getting so big?

    Your ISP can only determine that their equipment is responding to ping requests. They can determine nothing about your equipment or if theirs is communicating with it.
    Disconnect the Ethernet cable that comes from their equipment and connect it directly to a computer instead of the Extreme. If you can load web pages, it means your Internet connection is working. If not, it's not.
    Is your ISP supplying cable Internet? Sometimes it is necessary to reset your ISP's connection by disconnecting their coaxial cable that connects to their modem. Literally unscrew it and leave it detached for a minute or so, then screw it back in again and power up the modem. They call this a "full reset". I don't know how it differs from simply powering down the modem, but I have confirmed that on rare occasions doing this will reset a recalcitrant connection.
    ... however the internet bars are present on the desktop and also indicated I was connected to the internet. 
    The Wi-Fi icon "bars" show that a connection to a wireless network has been established. It conveys no information about an Internet connection that lies beyond your local network. Option-click that menu and select "Open Wireless Diagnostics..." Authenticate with your Admin name and password and click the Continue button. Some useful diagnostic information and suggestions will result.

  • Trouble connecting/printing to Canon copy machine and printer with iMac

    I'm having trouble connecting to/printing off of my new imac, to the network(wireless) printer at work. The printer is a Canon iR advance c5051. When I try printing it keeps giving me a message stating that I did not use the correct password or ID, 15513. It shows up in my computer's printer cue, but does not show up on the actual Canon printer's cue. The print driver has already been installed, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks so much!

  • Problem printing with HP Photosmart 7520 printer.  Same bad result independent of advanced settings.

    How can it be that, no matter what settings (advanced, custom, PS manages color, Printer manages color,...) I get the same terrible result for a reference photo (dull, colorless)?   It is as if the PS CS6 is not controlling anything with these settings.   Is there something else I need to set to make this work?  (Old HP Photosmart 7960 works fine, but they stopped manufacturing new photo cartridges).  The 7520 all-in-one makes copies of graphics with excellent, accurate color rendition so it is something with the settings for the printer.  The device can print good color.   HP support  says its Photoshop settings.  I don't know what it is.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Problem creating a PDF from the "print view" of a web page

    When creating a PDF from the "print view" of a web page, the features in the print dialog box overlap. When the PDF is created, the words are garbled. e.g. words apppear as jzhhhxxf or zxihcj.

    Use a job settings that embeds the fonts. If you look at the PDF, the font properties probably do not look correct and don't include embedded fonts. Also, set the printer to Adobe PDF before you try to do a print, so that the web page can try to properly adjust to the printer.
    Why not just try opening the web site directly in Acrobat?

  • HP Deskjet 5550  issues-can't print but iMac definitely recognizes printer!

    I recently added my iMac to my network of PC desktop and laptop, supported by a Home Portal (router) and an Airport Express for streaming music from iTunes. Works great! With the new iMac, I cannot get any documents to print, even though the iMac recognizes the printer in the Printer Setup Utility Assistant. The laptop still prints easily via the wireless network to the printer. Apple Tech support has not been helpful. I've downloaded the newest HP drivers for both the iMac and my PC, so everything's up to date. Any suggestions??

    Hi,
    Can't offer you an answer as I have exactly same problem - did you discover a solution? I currently get a couple of lines of text on printer and then loads of page feeds. If you set up the printer as a hp gimp 550c type then you do get your document printed but its followed by the page feeds, so not much good.
    Any further ideas would be gratefully received.

  • Print Apps won't print with C510a eStation. Prints thin line at top of page.

    My C510a eStation printer will not print using the Print Apps.  It just prints a thin line at top of page.  Everything works fine until I print.
    All other print functions work.  It prints from computer via WiFi.  It prints when I send an email to it.  It copies via the Zeen.  It just won't print using the Print Apps.
    Does anyone else have this problem?  What is the solution?
    12/23/2010 3:00PM.  I just got off the phone with an HP engineer.  She said that the eStation is still in the TESTING phase and to call to report problems so they can improve the product.  (I would have thought the product would have been fully tested before being released to the public!)
    She had me reset the Zeen display by holding down the volume keys while powering up.  This erased everything that had been done on the Zeen by me and resulted in no HOME screens, which will have to be set up by me.  The only app at the bottom of the blank home page was Yahoo!.  Even the printer app was missing.  I had to move it from the app tray to the home page.  Now, I have to spend hours, again, setting up the Zeen.
    After the reset, the printer apps seem to work now.  The Zeen will copy using the printer app.  My computer still seems able to print and scan to/from the eStation.
    The eStation C510a eStation printer and Zeen display are very exciting.  However, they are not for someone not willing to spend the time to get it to work properly.  If you have a cell phone, be prepared to use up a lot of minutes while on support.
    The HP engineer said that it will soon have a new release of Android operating on the Zeen which will allow it to be faster.
    This question was solved.

    I have decided to return this printer to the store as it just has too many problems.  HP has essentially told me they will not issue updates to solve the problems.  I hate this, as I really loved the product.

  • Cannot print with a Samsung ML2160 printer (mono laser) and Pages. Print function doesn't work, only drag and drop in printer's queue

    Hello,
    I just purchased a Samsung ML2160 printer and it doesn't work with nor my Pages program, nor the Preview (to print PDF). No matter the way I tried, the Print function doesn't work and I cannot neither print or even enter the printer preferrences menu! My MacBook Pro has worked before with other printers, but now with the Samsung it doesn't work at all... Though, if I drag and drop a document, jpg, pdf in the printer queue, it prints just fine, but that method gives me absolutely no freedom to the printing... Could it be something from the Computer -> Machintosh HD -> Library -> Printers? Because a friend of mine was recently trying to save me some disk space, and therefore erasing part of the HP printer (to remove the previous printer I owned)...
    If anyone has any idea, that would be much appreciated
    Thank you in advance

    Do the sensible thing, as you say neither Preview nor Pages print, try other programs eg TextEdit. If none of them print then it is a System problem and very likely the printer drivers are AWOL or were never installed.
    Go to Samsung's website and download their software for the Mac:
