Problem with local users printing to the printer queue
We have just upgraded our servers to 2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon which is running OS X 10.5.6
I have set up the printer queue to the network printers, through LPD.
Open directory users are able to print to the network printers without any problem however when a user local user to a machine (all 10.5.6 but different models) are not able to print.
The printer pauses and does not print.
Any solutions?
Hi there,
I am not quite sure of your setup based on your posting so apologies if my reply is not appropriate.
Are you saying that when the Mac attempts to print directly to the network printer (rather than via a queue created by selecting an Open Directory printer) the printer queue pauses?
If yes, then I would ensure that the LPD protocol was selected and the correct queue name was entered - as this can often cause the spooler to pause.

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.
There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred
Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?

DarksoloHi,
Please check with in your environmental variable whether JDK is 32 bit or shifted to 64 bit.
It seems even though you have 64 bit still it is taking 32 bit only.

I'm having a problem getting a .pdf file to come up when I scan from a HP 5610 All-in-one printer. Have uninstalled and reinstalled HP software three times but when I scan and want a pdf file it won't communicate with Adobe 9.0 reader for some reason.

Problem with HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3515 printer
Hello. First of all I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
I recently bought a HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3515 printer. The printer works fine (prints, scans and copies). There is only one problem with it. It returns me an error when I'm shutting it off. This happens very often but not always, it is kinda annoying. The error is displayed as: ERROR CODE 0X02B7C2ED SM_MODULE C (the error is also shown on the image). I tried to Google the problem but without effects. I don't know what could be the problem. Can someone help me please, because I have no idea what could be the issue. Thanks for any replays.
This question was solved.

Bizarre solution for OfficeJet Pro K5300 problem when Word docs hang in the print queue spooling
A bizarre solution to a spooling problem.
Problem:
Word documents sent to an HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series printer hang in the print queue, saying “spooling”. They do not print, and cannot even be cancelled.
Solution (Bizarre Solution).
The solution that worked for me was to rename the printer by removing the first space after “HP” in the printer’s name. When I did this, Word could then print to the printer. If the space is then re-inserted back into the printer-name then Word is still able to print!! I don’t know how, but it worked, and it worked on two separate installations! The full explanation is below with more options for testing that still need to be explored, or preferably explained by HP and or Microsoft.
First here is some background. My computer is an IBM NetVista 2.4GHz, P4. It has a 250GB HDD with lots of room and 2GB of RAM. My operating system is Win XP Pro with Service Pack 3. My anti-Virus in Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, updated regularly, (I turned it off while installing the printer software). I use Office Professional 97, with Office SP2b).
I bought a new HP Officejet Pro K5300 printer.
I installed the printer software, and followed HP’s directions strictly. I used the installation CD that was supplied by HP. My connection to the printer was USB.
The installation proceeded uneventfully and I printed a test page after it finished.
After that I printed a configuration page, then I printed a couple of photographs using Irfan View. The quality was great and I was pleased.
Then I tried to print a 2-page Word document, using Word 97, but nothing happened. No response from the printer, no error messages, just silence. I clicked on the printer icon on the task bar to look at the print queue and saw that my document was listed as “Spooling”, but it was not making any progress. I waited a couple of minutes but still no progress. I tried canceling it but it would not cancel/delete. The job on the queue would not respond to anything. I could not print it and I could not cancel it. The only way I could recover was to shut down Word, which flushed the queue and lost the job.
I tried this a few more times but with no success.
I did a Google search for this problem, and I found a few solutions. I tried them, but none worked. I checked HP’s website and found this problem listed, with some solutions from HP. I tried HP’s solutions, but they did not work either. In fact, when there was a Word document stuck “spooling” in the queue, HP’s diagnostic utility said that it could not even communicate with the printer, and suggested that my USB connection was bad. However, when I flushed the queue by shutting down Word, I could successfully send a Test Page to the printer, and I could print a detailed PDF from Adobe. So Word was the problem, not my USB connection.
After a pondering this problem over the next few days, and keeping in mind the fact that the default HP printer-name was “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series”, I remembered that many years ago I could not get an Excel VB macro to select a printer, and print to it, if the printer-name had any spaces in it. I had noticed that the HP default printer name had 4 spaces in it, so I wondered what would happen if I renamed the printer by removing the spaces from its name.
So I renamed the printer to “HPOfficejetProK5300Series” (no spaces), and voila! Word could now print to it!
Then I wondered, if it was necessary to remove all of the spaces from the name, or just some of them, to get the printer to work, so I renamed the printer back to it’s default name in 4 stages, at each stage re-inserting one of the original spaces, and testing the printing. At each stage the printer kept successfully printing from Word, until I had re-inserted all four spaces and the printer’s name was back to being identical to the default name that it was installed with, but now it would print from Word on command.
So why was it that Word could not get the printer to print with the printer’s default installed name, but if I removed all of the spaces from the printer’s name, then re-inserted them, the printer would print from Word every time?
So I did another test.
I uninstalled the entire printer software package and installed the updated Full Feature software package, filename “OJProK5X00_Full_8_3.exe”, 159MB download from HP.
After the package was installed, Word could NOT print to the printer, but other programs like Adobe PDF reader, and Irfan View, could print to it. I tried each software package about three times each, with consistent results.
I then renamed the printer, but this time I just removed the first space after the letters “HP”, i.e., I changed the printer’s name from “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” to “HPOfficejet Pro K5300 Series”. After I did that Word could then print to it. I then changed the printer’s name back to “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” by re-inserting the first space, and Word could still print to it now.
I challenge someone from HP to read this and explain why Word won’t print to this printer until I rename the printer by removing a space, but can still print to it after the space is re-inserted!
Of course, there is another alternative. Perhaps I could have renamed the printer by removing or changing any of the other characters, instead of the spaces. But each test involves completely uninstalling and re-installing the software, and I have better things to do with my time.
This question was solved.
View Solution.What an amazing solution!
I recently purchased an HP Deskjet F4580 and had discovered that when using Word 97, it would print OK when using the Print icon but when trying to print using File->Print->choose page number or current page, Word would crash. Excel, Adobe etc would all print fine. I have spend many hours removing and then reloading the HP software and Office Professional software but this solution fixed the problem in a few minutes. PC is running XP Home SP3.
Just one thing I would add is that my computer has two accounts - one is the Computer Administrator account and the other is a Limited account. When I took out the space between HP and Deskjet so the printer became HPDeskjet F4500 series, I could then print from the Administrator account using either the print icon or File->Print->choose page number or current page. When I switched to the Limited account, I would get the same crash when I tried File->Print->choose page number or current page (OK with icon). The Limited account mode does not allow the printer to be re-named.
I went back to Admin mode, re-classified the Limited account as a Computer Administrator account, logged on to this account and re-named the printer (in this case I took out another space so it became HPDeskjetF4500 series. Then it printed fine using the print icon or using File->Print->choose page number or current page. I then went back to the Computer Administrator account, re-named the printer to HPDeskjet F4500 and re-classified the second account back to Limited account mode. Now printing OK in both Computer Administrator account mode and Limited account mode.

firefox 3.6.12 won't print with my new HP P1102W laser printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer . I spoke with HP tech support. We reinstalled all drivers. They adamantly say it is a Firefox issue and you should have some modifications for it.
When I try to print from the internet using Firefox, a dialog box pops up which says "preparing to print." However, it hangs and I have to manually shut it down. Doing this terminates the Firefox session, and it will not restore upon restart. This printer will print files on my hard drive, and if I use IE8, which I do not want.
ThanksIt must be a Firefox problem, since it works perfectly in Chrome.

I have a iPhone 4S and a Cannon Printer with AirPrint. I have the printer and the iPhone both on the same network, however I still can't locate the printer on the phone. Works just fine with the laptop on the same network. Any suggestions?
ok no problem! all i did was 1) set up the mobile hotspot on my phone. 2) turn it and wifi on on the phone. 3) connect the laptop/desktop to the hotspot network. 4) insert setup disk for the printer and begin setup. 5) complete the setup "using a usb cord to temporarilly connect the computer and printer" 6) unplug usb cable and finish set up on the laptop/desktop. 7) give it a few minutes to show up on the AirPrint menu on the phone. 8) that should be it. I unplugged the printer and plugged it back in, made sure the laptop was totally turned off AND disconnected from the network, and did everything I could to try and make it not work. The printer I have is a Canon MG3122, it doesn't have a fancy screen or even a way to input a password or anything like that, so it just strores a default network that it will connect to. in order to change networks i would have to complete setup multiple times. Since I only plan to use it with AirPrint for my mobile business....the one network is just fine! Hope this helps!

My Ipad 2 cant find my HP3050A j661b airprint printer although the printer is connected to the same wireless network and software updates are current on all and my other laptops also work properly with this printer.further more it used to work with my IPAD2 before when I used the old wireless router but now I changed it to HAUWEI HG231f but I set everything in the same way it was. Thanks in advance.
When you change to the new router, did you re-run the CD to re-set the new SSID and password to the printer.
Otherwise your iPad will not be able "talk" to your printer. -
How do I scan and email documents on my canon mx870? I have a MAC OS X 10.7.5 and it is connected with a usb cable to the printer. Thank you so much!
Hi, I have 10.6.8 and an HP printer so it may be slightly different but I'll give it my best shot:
Go to System Preferences.
Click on "Print & Fax"
Near the top of that page you should see "Print" and "Scan" options. Click "Scan"
A button appears that says "open scanner"
The settings are different between the different scanner models so I'm not sure what the next window will look like, but it should be pretty straightforward from there. It will scan to a JPEG image which you can attach to an email. I hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything ense I can help with. -
Problem with OS X.5 Leopard and printing through Airport USB printer
I have just upgraded to Leopard from Tiger and now I can't print. Previously, all 3 of my computers could print to my Samsung printer that is connected to the USB port of the Airport Extreme base station. They could see the Samsung printer through Bonjour and it worked great. Now my computers running Leopard can't see the printer on the wireless network. I've downloaded the latest driver from Samsung and that didn't help. When I connect the printer directly to my Mac tower it prints fine. However I don't want to have the tower on all the time, sharing the printer through the network. It seems to be an issue with Leopard + Bonjour + Airport base station.
Details:
I have a G5 Tower connected via ethernet to the Airport router.
I also have an intel Mac Mini and a G4 Powerbook 1.67 connected to the Airport through wireless.
The Samsung laser printer is connected to the USB port on the Airport base station.I too have been bit by the Leopard/wireless printing bug....
Originally, we had two older iMacs running Tiger; both printing to a Lexmark X502n wirelessly via an Airport Express. The set up worked flawlessly for approx. 15 months. A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded to a new (beautiful!) 24" iMac running Leopard. I can print one document, and then like the other posters, the printer shows it's printing, but the printer goes to pause and says it can not connect with host. The Express is on green light, and all the settings are there in the Airport Utility. If I go through the process to "discover" in the Airport Utility, I can then print another page.
But - once the new iMac goes into "printer pause" and needs to be reset, the other older iMac can no longer print. If I reset everything on the new iMac, the other iMac can print as usual - until I print from the new iMac. Lexmark still has no drivers available for this model and Leopard. Past postings on various boards projected they would be available by mid-2008. Obviously, that has not happened. I have contacted Lexmark and they tell me they don't know when drivers will be available. I spent most the day yesterday on the phone with 3 different people at Apple Care. No help other than to say I need the new drivers.
I'd move the laser printer over by my computer and connect via USB, but it is also our fax machine and on a dedicated line. Since we only have the one jack for the second phone line, moving the printer is not an option.
Any help appreciated! I'm ready to go out and buy new cartridges for my old trusty HP inkjet....
The new iMac is connected to a D-Link WBR-2310.
The airport express is connected to the Lexmark X502n via USB.
The wireless network is not secured. -
Problem with"Evaluate User Policies"sch task after the upgrade OIM R1 to R2
Problem with "Evaluate User Policies" scheduled task after the upgrade from OIMg R1 to OIM 11g R2
After the upgrade process is completed we are having issue with Access policy not triggering if rule is set to custom attribute
- We had a Rule with custom attribute (Policy='Full-Time') the value gets populated by event handler which triggers the access policy in OIM 11g R1.. which worked fine in OIM R1
After the upgrade the value is getting populated but even after running "Evaluate User Policy" the Access Policy is not getting triggered.
We tested creating a rule with other custom attribute,policy does not trigger even after running Evaluate User Policy schedule Task in this case too
but if we try creating rule with OOTB attributes(Country='US') it works fine the access policy got triggered after running Evalute User Policy
One more issue we observed is
- Evaluate User Policy value usr_policy_update is not updated still set to '1' even after the Access policy got triggered (as it worked when rule is set to OOTB attribute)
I believe after the evaluate user policy gets triggered for a user it should update the value from '1' to '0')
Please let me know if you have any idea..Thanks!well, I overcame the issue by 'fooling' the installer: on second node, change the scan ip address to point to something else (ie, different ip address to the scan in the first node, cleanup then rerun root.sh, it went past the trouble stage, then I still have problem later at the time database creation. I think scan ip address has to be setup correctly (round robin thingy)
This is how i did the cleanup before rerun root.sh

OS X sends job to printer, but the printer never prints the job
All,
Hello. I have a Mac running OS X 10.4 Everytime I try to print a document, I can see in the Print Queue menu where it says sending job to printer, then it says completed. But no lights come on on the printer and no job ever prints. The printer is acting like it is not communicating with my MAC, but my MAC thinks it is connecting to the printer. First I tried on my local printer, then I tried on my network printer and the same thing happened.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my printer but that didnt work either. I am planning on checking the CUPS log as well but since the MAC says job completed and didnt give any errors I am thinking that CUPS will not have any errors either.
My next step is to repair disk permissions, then Reset the Printing System.
Anyone else have any ideas? Am I barking up the wrong tree so to speak? I am not sure of the software version but I am thinking its OS X 10.4. Im going up to check nowWe're having JP's issue on a Mac here on our campus as well.
My user is running a 2.0Ghz iMac and printing to a laserjet 8150 via IP Printing. Up until this week everything has worked fine. Now when a document is printed from any program it goes into the queue and then gets moved to the "completed jobs" with no errors reported, but no acknowledgment by the printer and no errors produced.
Same model Macs print to this printer without issue. I tried redirecting to another lj8150 on the next floor of the building and got the same result.
Here's what I've done without success so far:
-Restarted the printer and Mac
-uninstalled/reinstalled the printer
-ensured all Mac and MS Office updates were installed
-reset Mac Print System
-uninstalled printer, reinstalled HP drivers for laserjets, reinstalled printer
At this point I'm ready to start looking system issues, viruses, etc. One thing I caught just before leaving the Mac was a download of limewire filesharing software [and virus hotbed]. So I'll add that to my list of investigations.
All other network functions seem to be operational except the printing.
