Problems printing after OS X 10.5.6 Upgrade

Hope someone has an answer for me. On Friday I finally upgraded my office Intel iMac to 10.5.6 (upgraded from Tiger), running the CS3 Suite. We print primarily on a 6 year old Phaser 7700 and had no problems printing until today. Now when printing in any program in the suite, mainly Illustrator, we get what appears to be a postscript error. We will try to print tabloid size and all that prints out is letter size paper and only one line of odd characters on multiple pages. We have gotten simple graphics on letter size to print through Illustrator, but there is no rhyme or reason why they go through and other's don't. Illustrator is running in Rosetta, and many of the work arounds I have found are not working for me. Unfortunately upgrading our printer at this time is not an option, so I hope someone knows of a fix for this. All other programs on system print with no issues, it appears to be only with Adobe suite.
THANKS!

I have found many threads posting similar problems and it seems to be a postscript error dealing with raster images. It most definitely seems to be an issue with CS3 operating under the new OS. (not sure why??) I am continuing to get pages and pages of garbage when trying to print out of Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign or Acrobat when there are images involved. I can print if the the graphic contains no links or if I have embedded the links (Illustrator only). Photoshop will not print at all.
I have tried to change the printer's protocol to TBCP - didn't work.
I have tried using a generic PPD - didn't work.
I have reinstalled manf. PPDs - didn't work.
I have changed output from binary to ASCII/85 - didn't work.
An upgrade to CS4 is not in the company's budget right now, nor is a new printer. Would an upgrade even work? Any other suggestions? Anyone? Thanks!

Problems printing after updating to 9.4.2 W7 32bit

This morning I updated to Acrobat Pro v9.4.2 and now cannot print to my HP 5550 color LaserJet printer. I can still print to my HP LaserJet 5000. I also have another machine that also has W7 and updated it to V-9.4.2 and now cannot print to either printer. These machines have the most current Windows updates. The only difference that I can see is on the first machine I’m printer through our network print server and on my second machine I'm printer through a TCP port directly to the printer. The driver for both HP printers is the HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v5.2) driver. Now this is even stranger! I have a new machine with a fresh install of W7 64bit and installed the Acrobat Pro 9.0 on the machine and its prints fine. Installed v9.2, prints fine and then installed v9.4.2 and it still prints fine?? Did a test on my 2nd machine (the one that will not print to either printers) Removed Acrobat pro 9 and re-installed first with V9.0. Prints fine on both printers. Installed 9.2, prints fine and installed 9.4.2 and no cannot print to either printer!! Has anybody come across this problem?

David,
None of your solutions worked for me. We are all running Windows XP 32bit and are trying to print PDFs to a HP Laserjet printers. One of which is HP model 4015.

Problems Printing After Update

Hope this is in the right place.
I recently updated to 10.6.5 and found that I can no longer print on my Epson Offirio LP-S4500. I've tried printing in both Pages and Preview.
I get the message that there is a problem with the EpsonPagePDE plugin
I've tried to locate this plugin and haven't been able to find it (in the hopes that if I deleted it, printing may work). I've also reinstalled the epson drivers to no avail.

Any thoughts on how to get it to print again?
Thanks

No, I haven't. I'm in Japan so Epson customer service will be some pretty technical Japanese. Calling back in the US which is plus 14 Hours also isn't really convenient.
*Update*
I tried printing with MS Word 2004 and it worked no problem. Still, Pages and Preview will not print.

Problem Printing after upgrading to Yosemite

I was using Mavericks with no problem, I decided to upgrade to Yosemite without checking for compatibility with my Kodak 6150 All-In-one printer Now I can't print from anything using safari. Is there any way to go back to mavericks?

Hi, KenMotoh.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first recommend making sure the printer driver has been updated. If the issue persists, try all the steps in the article below.

Has anyone encountered problems printing after updating with OSX 10.6.8?

I have never had this problem before as I now get a repeated "printer paused" message. Help!

I downloaded and installed the 10.6.8 Combo this morning and immediately thereafter when I tried printing a document on my OfficeJet Pro 8500 from HP the system paused for two minutes and THEN printed the document. I tried printing several other documents with the same result. However, I then shut down and restarted my iMac, and when it had finished rebooting, I tried printing again and the pause in the system for printing was gone. Problem solved!
Hope this helps.

Problem printing after udating thumbnails ?

I have recently updated to i life 06 great until today, I imported a couple of photos and my mac asked if I would like to update the thumbnails to make the machine run faster, Yes I thought and proceded ,Now I cannot print from I photo ? and apparantly there is no phone support for new software unless you pay min £35 . Can anyone help Please

Was that update before you applied the 3.0 update? If so and depending on how you made that backup go into the HD/Library/Printers folder of the backup
and copy the hp library folder to the same location on your Mac to replace the existing hp folder. Reboot and try printing again.

Canon MP450 Printer will not print after OS X 10.4.9 Upgrade

After installing the software update, I'm unable to print. I went to download the lastest driver from Canon and installed it but I'm still having the same problem. Does anyone know how to revert back to OS X 10.4.8, without having to reinstall from the OS X install discs? Everything was working fine then, this is what I get for being an "early adopter." I should have looked through the online forums first. This reminds all to well of the issues I have when using the "PC." I guess I have to wait until Canon updates their drivers , but that means I'll have to use my PC to print everything. Please somebody help...
2.0 GHz - Intel Core Duo White Macbook - 80 GB HD - 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8) 30GB Blk iPod Video 1G - 8GB Blk Nano 2G - 4GB Slvr Nano 2G - 1GB Slv Shuffle 2G

No point in waiting for Canon. Their drivers are fine. The update has caused the problem, probably because it has reset permissions on some files. But for the record, I checked the pre-release version of 4.9 a month ago with a number of Canon drivers and they all worked fine. So this is not a compatibility issue with 4.9, it has something to do with the way your Mac is configured. But don't despair, this has happened with just about every previous update and you will not be the only way to have printing problems after updating to 10.4.9.
First of all you can try running the Repair Disk Permissions. This usually resolves printing issues after an update. This can be found in Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
However, since you reinstalled the driver you could have created file version conflicts, so if the permissions doesn't help, then try opening the Printer Setup Utility, clicking on the title and selecting Reset Printing System. This will delete the printer and the drivers you have installed for the MP450. Restart the Mac once this is complete and then once it is running again, run the driver installation again for the MP and then add the printer again.

Problems printing envelopes from Address Book since Lion upgrade

I've been printing envelopes to my HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-In-One printer from Address Book without any problems for years. I upgraded to Lion and now the first envelope is blank. Second one is okay but after that their print position slips little by little up the page until they become usless. I see on the forum that there are other people with different printers but the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hi David and Everyone Who it Might Help
I was having this problem too! *Many* thanks to you!
I was having it with both a new brother and Epson printer.
I followed your advice and created a custom envelope and just to clarify for any future reader. The "rotate 90 degrees" is changed under the "orientation" tab by simply selecting the layout with the picture sideways inside of straight up and down.
Second, the size change you mentioned is for the "Height," naturally, not the Width.
Many thanks!!! Great find.

If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

Laserjet 3050 - problems to print after update to Yosemite

Since I updated to Yosemite, I am having problems printing pdf and image files. Just after clicking "print", the printer says "Printing Document" while the green light flashes. However, nothing happens. The printer goes back to "ready" mode without any printed page.
Other documents from safari, etc. can be printed.
I have seen other people have the same problems but I have not seen a solution.
Can someone help me?

You might try installing the 3rd Party Gutenprint driver for your LaserJet 3050. It may provide better support for your printer then the Apple provided driver in Yosemite. You can download this driver here: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Anyone having problems getting CD covers to print after downloading latest software?

Anyone having problems getting CD covers to print after downloading latest software?

Lacking any responses to my initial post above, I will briefly update how I resolved this issue today.
Installed new external hard disc, 1 TB WD My Passport for Mac, and straightforward setup involving first installing current OS X operating system, then system migrator utility to rebuild the same setup as saved in latest Time Machine backup. The whole process was somewhat time consuming due to my internet connection speed and USB data transfer speeds but it went without any issues. The computer now boots up and operates identical in all respects to how it did before the problem occurred.
Regarding the internal HD of my iMac, if I now run Disc Utility to verify the disc, it reports "appears to be OK". However, viewing the disc usage in "About This Mac" window, it displays as entirely empty. Opening it in the finder also shows only a "Apple Hot News.mbox" file and a single .jpeg image, and .nothing else.
Interestingly, the Bootcamp partition of my iMac's internal HD continues to work fine and appears unaffected by the problem. I use bootcamp rarely but still will plan to set up a replacement bootcamp volume on the new hard disc soon, in order to take its place.
That the problem surfaced coincident with the software update may have been nothing more than bad luck? At this point I have no reason to suspect that the softward update had anything to do with the difficulties.

Problems printing old files after downloading Adobe 11

I cannot get my pdf files to print after downloading Adobe Reader 11. I had 9 & now every time I want to print it takes me to the Save As.. file & wants me to save as .pm file. It won't even let me save as a new pdf file saying the file is corrupted. Help!

I took it back to Adobe reader 9 & now my pdf files say there's no pages to print even though I can see them in the file. I did have print tyo file checked so I took it off & it still can't read any pages.

Problem printing photos in a lab with an exported iPhoto CD

Hi all,
I wanted to print photos from my iPhoto library. I filled a complete CD with photos (altogether 317 picutures) and brought it to a printing shop (Pharamprix in Canada) to let them do the printing. Please note I have done that with my Windows PC before and it worked fine.
What has happened is the following. When I picked up the photos I could not believe what I saw, because I received around 700 printed pictures. Half of the stack was a blury, very grain pictures and the other half of it was clear.
So my guess is that the export (as I read in another article) of photos puts also other images (is guess also the thumbnails) on the CD.
Those images were intepereted by the photo shop and where printed accordingly. When I inserted the CD in my iPhoto it shows 317 photos, if I insert the CD into a Windows PC it shows roughly 700.
Did anyonee experience the same problem? How can I export it so that I do not have the problem again.
Is Apple aware of this???
Any thoughts on that will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerd

Did you burn the CD by using the Share->Burn Disc menu option? If so then you burned an iPhoto formatted disk that included all of the thumbnails, original files of those you've edited and the edited files, all jpg files. The photofinisher's software look for jpgs and printed every thing it found.
To burn a CD of the photos you want to print, after selecting those images use the Share->Export->File Export menu option. In that window select full sized images. (It's best if you crop the images to the size you want printed beforehand so you don't leave the cropping to the automatic machine at the photofinisher.) Then export to a mounted blank CD and burn in the Finder.
