Problems printing on Lexmark X4550

Hi Communities,
I just purchased my MacBook Pro running latest Mac OS X 10.9. I'm having issues with the Lexmark X4550 all in one printer.
I have downloaded the the printer software update from the Apple store and the latest recommended drivers from the Lexmark website:
http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=en&page=product&productCode=LEXMARK_X455 0&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_UK&frompage=null#2
I am experiencing 2 (Two) issues:
Cannot get the printer to connect wirelessly, but it connects fine via the USB cable.
I cannot print any documents, email etc. even thou I can do a test print and can scan documents. When I try to print all seems fine, the job is sent in the print queu with the "printing" logo, but that is it there is no output of paper and I don't get any error message either.
For information, I can connect my MacBook Pro just fine with my office printer HP Envy 110 Series. Also the Lexmark X4550 works just fine with my old laptop running Windows 7 on wireless.
I hope some could be of assistance.
Regards,

I can print to a Lexmark X4550, but not scan (with Image Capture)

Following tips (by "Lexmark Listens" and others) I succeded in printing (via USB and wifi) to a Lexmark X4550.
But when scanning (via USB) using the Image Capture app (included in Mac OS), Image Capture sees the scanner a couple of seconds, then complains that no scanner is connected (although it still is).
This happens with a MacBook (Pro), but not with another MacBook (white).
I tried (not necessarily in this order):
- reboot
- repair disk permissions
- re-installing drivers (both printer driver and "Image Capture Application Scan Driver for for 10.6.8 and later Mac OS") from Lexmark support site.
- running Mac OS software update (which updated the printer driver to version 2.8]
- resetting the printing system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
How can I completely remove all files related to Lexmark printers&scanners and try again installing from a clean state?
(I see in other posts that a Lexmark Uninstaller is sometimes located in HD/Library/Printers/Lexmark/YEAR/ ; I used to have one here, but it was removed during previous attempts at getting the scanner working ; and anyway when I run this Uninstaller at the time, it did not completely clean the /Printer/Lexmark)
My problem is very similar to this one described in this bug report in Lexmark knowledge base:
http://bit.ly/MOR9bd
But the patch proposed is "For Mac OS X 10.6 only" and titled "LexmarkPro800-Pro900SeriesQFE1.0.0.dmg" so I don't think it would work for a Lexmark X4550. (Indeed I installed this patch and the problem is still there).
As for the workaround suggested, "When using Apple's Image Capture application, do not use the "Show Details" option [...]", I can't get it to work: as soon as I launch Image Capture, it starts scanning (a preview) and the "Show Details" bouton is grayed out.
I've already spent many hours trying to get this printer-scanner to work with my Mac.
Any suggestion would be very helpful!

Same issue, sort of. After ML upgrade, Lexmark x264dn fails to register as a printer & scanner, there is no scan tab anymore. Also, image capture application is stuck in a crash loop until I disable mDNS (bonjour) on the printer. Still, it does not register as a scanner anywhere (protoshop, image capture, preview...)
I have installed all the package scripts from Lexmark's Mountain Lion support page. No dice.

Cant print on my Lexmark X4550 after Apple print Sw update

Hi,
I recently had an update of the Lexmark printer drivers via Apple's SW update.
After that my Lexmark X4550 does not work any longer.
I get an error message "Color table is missing. You must uninstall and reinstall the printer software"
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall 4 times now but still no luck. What could be the error?
Very frustrating to not be able to print after I followed Apples recommendations and updated the drivers via the SW update utility.

There are some threads with this issue, and there have been a few solutions, one that involved replacing the ColorSync profiles, and the other deleting all of the installed Lexmark software and running the update again.

How to print from my Lexmark x4550

How do I print from I pad to lexmark x4550 printer?

if it don't support apples std printing interface called airprint
then you have to rely on lexmark making a printing app and adding it to app store
or you could

Lexmark X4550 drivers not working?

I had my Lexmark x4550 working wifi with tiger, however i now have leopard and i cannot use the printer wifi?
I have seen other posts on this but i have uninstalled all previous drivers and downloaded the new ones from the American Lexmark site, several times.
The printer connects over wifi with the green light but when i go to print utility or to print, my mac cant see the printer, even after adding it through system preferences? It works fine with usb though?
Can anyone help?

Have you contacted Lexmark support?

Printing to Lexmark X2580/HP Officejet K60

I'm having too many problems for something easy. With both printers (I tried them one at a time), the computer talks to the printer and sends the print jobs but nothing ever happens (no printing). No error messages, just no printing. I figure a driver problem, downloaded the Lexmark driver, was able to print sample page only but nothing else. HP driver is pre-installed on OS (but i still have to select it - strange since it recognizes the printer). Whasup? Thanks in advance. I'm spankin' new to Mac.

Hi DNLD66
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Perhaps there is a failed job preventing the HP from printing any new ones? Go to *System Preferences / Print & Fax* select the HP from the Printers list then *Open Print Queue...* delete all the Jobs and try printing something again.

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,

Problem printing out to a parallelport printer

Hello, I am using the javax.comm.*; package and I am having problems
printing to the parallelport.
Well, it prints out the string but the problem is that the light for paper feed
starts blinking eventhough there is paper , once I click the paper feed button
the printer then prints out the string.
So, basically, everything is ok, apart from that I have to press the paper feed
button for each time I want to print something.
There is an error in my code somewhere, but as I am new to port communications I cannot understand what to do.
Below is my code, please help.
Thanks!
public void print(String s){
Enumeration ports;
CommPortIdentifier portId;
     try{
          portId = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifier("LPT1");
         addPort(portId,s);
     }catch (NoSuchPortException e){
                 e.printStackTrace();
public static void addPort(CommPortIdentifier portId,String s){
     try{
          ParallelPort port = (ParallelPort)portId.open("LPT1",2000);
        /*port.notifyOnError(true);
        port.notifyOnBuffer(true);
        port.addEventListener(new ParallelPortEventListener(){
               public void parallelEvent(ParallelPortEvent ppe){
                       System.out.println(ppe.toString());
                       System.out.println("An event has occured");
          try{
               OutputStream os = port.getOutputStream();
               if(os == null){
                    System.out.println("Os is null");
               else{
                      os.write(s.getBytes());
               //os.flush();
          catch(Exception eis){
               eis.printStackTrace();
          port.close();
     catch(PortInUseException e){
          System.out.println(e.currentOwner);
          e.printStackTrace();
     catch(Exception ecl){
          ecl.printStackTrace();
}Of course this class imports :
import java.util.Enumeration;
import javax.comm.*;
import javax.comm.CommPort;
import javax.comm.CommPortIdentifier;
import javax.comm.ParallelPort;
import javax.comm.NoSuchPortException;
import javax.comm.PortInUseException;
import java.io.*;

Wow - I wonder how the OP thought that the
Developers Home > Developer Forums > Java Forums >
Java Mobility Forums > Consumer and Commerce >Consumer and Commerce General >
Forum was a correct choice for this problem??It's the same logic that leads one to believe that being new to port communications omits them from the responsibility of using general troubleshooting techniques to isolate/identify a problem.
This logic often leads to obscure questions also, sadly.

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.

Welcome to the forums Etow,
I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.
Have a great Friday

Problems Printing to HP 2610 All-in-one

Hi Folks,
First off, I'm a Windows person so please don't assume I know the internals of OS-X very well (my wife is the Mac user, but is not the household "techie"). That said...
When we try to print documents to the HP 2610 All-in-one (USB connected directly to her G4), the print dialog comes up looking "almost" normal. The bottom of the print dialog only offers a "?", "Supplies.." and "Cancel" (but the left half of the cancel button is chopped off). "Send FAX Now" (greyed out) is also there. No print button! "Supplies" offers to sell me ink cartidges and "cancel" of course cancels the print job. Where is the "Print" button and how do I get it back?
System preferences, System Profiler shows the printer as available, the default, USB and running HP driver version 7.3.0 (the latest one HP offers and the one I installed after upgraging to OS-X 10.4.3) is 7.3.1). System Preferences, Printers also shows the printer as available and on a USB port.
I have tried printing from TextEdit, Office:X Word: Service Release 1 and AppleWorks 6 (6.2.2) and get the same messed up print dialog.
Oddly... the system has no problems printing to a Brother 1440 Laser (not defaulted) connected via USB to one of my Windows XP Pro systems. It can't print to it's direct connected USB HP 2610.

Problem printing wirelessly with my mfc-j835dw

Hi.
I have a problem printing to my mfc-j835dw brother printer. I did not experience this issue until our broadband provider changed our modem/router to [echolife hg521] since it was crashed. I am not sure if there is a need to check for the settings of the printer or the modem/router itself. I tried to use my mobile hotspot and connect my printer to it and luckily i could print wirelessly.
Any ideas regarding this issue?
Your response are highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Verify the router is on the latest firmware. If not, upgrade it.
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 1...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
You should use WPA2-AES and reset your TV and all your other wireless devices as it will ask for a new password/paraphrase.
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.
