Problems with CUPS. Printer is ok, but doesn't print anything...
Hi 2 all!
So, I have a problem with my printer. Yesterday I've installed my EPSON Stylus CX3200, everything was ok, local printing, samba sharing etc. This morning I've tried to print some tabs with TUX Guitar, the job was sent but nothing was printed. From CUPS administration page on localhost:631 I've tried to print a test page, but there's only an error message:
Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!
Reinstalling printer hasn't helped at all, the error persists. I'll be happy to listen your ideas... and sorry for my poor english.
pacman -S ghostscript
that should fix your problem.
p.s. restart your printer spooler after that!

I have a new PC laptop with Windows 7 and Office 2010. I have an Airport Extreme, and installed Bonjour on my laptop. Bonjour "sees" my printer. When I try to print, the printer lights up -- but doesn't print. anyone have an idea? Thanks Gregg
Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

OfficeJet J6450 - Printer connects wirelessly but doesn't print post cable modem replacment
Equipment: My printer is an OfficeJet J6450. I run Windows Vista, current update.
Likely triggering event: I replaced my docsis 3.0 modem with a doscis 2.0 modem. The ISP remained the same. All other computer software and firewall remained the same.
Malfunction: After the cable modem replacement, I found that I could no longer print to my HP OfficeJet 6450. I would get an error in the printer window "Error - printing." After restarting after the initial error appeared, I would get the error "Error - sent to printer."
What I did:
At first I uninstalled and re-installed the HP software for the printer (complete package with exceptions of PhotoSmart and HP customer monitoring program).
Using the printer's network connection wizard, I entered the wireless router password to the printer. At first I didn't get a connection. Then I restarted both the computer and the printer. I also returned to the network default setting on the printer, and repeated the configuring the network. The connection finally succeeded.
The network self-test page and the printer's network wizard confirm the connection. The printer's digital display and the HP diagnostic utility also confirmed the connection. But the diagnostic utility can't print a test page and throws up an error - "Test print failed."
The disappointing result: I still cannot get anything to print wirelessly.
...Thanks in advance for your suggestions to get my printer back up and running...
This question was solved.
View Solution.Go to Start > Control Panel > Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
Next, re-add the printer:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get the IP address from a Wireless Netowork Test on the front of the printer (usually in the Network menu).
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

MP560 on a Mac OSX networked with Windows 7, recognizes network but doesn't print text
I have a Canon Pixma MP560 connected to a MacBook Pro with OS 10.9.5 which is wire-networked through a Time Warner Arris TG862 modem to a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop and a Lenovo desktop, both of which have Windows 7. The printer is USB cable connected to the MacBook, and works fine. On the Mac, at System Preferences>>Sharing, Printer Sharing is selected, the MP560 highlighted, and at Users>>"Everyone Can Print"; and at System Preferences>>Printers & Scanners, "Share this printer on the network" is selected. On the Lenovo and Dell, I installed Bonjour, and both can "see" the MP560, and at File>Print on both, the printer is recognized and activated. BUT all it does is shoot out a blank sheet of paper; the text is not printed. Evidently there is something I have not done, some box I have not checked off. I will appreciate any ideas! Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Some days after posting here, I asked this question at another Canon website, and learned that in circumstances similar to mine described here, Canon recommends that the MP560 "be connected to your Windows computer then shared to your Macintosh", rather than, as in my case, having the MP560 connected to the Mac and then shared with the Windows computers.

Problem with Dock Connector, Ipod Charges but doesn't play sounds
We have two Ipod Touch 3rd generation at home. We recently bought a stereo with a dock to play music from our iTouch.
One of the Ipods works just fine with it, but the other will only charge and not play music. When I try to see my output options I can only select Ipoud Touch or Apple TV. When I am playing music with the working Ipod I can choose between Dock Connector and Apple TV.
I have already tried hard reset but nothing has changed.
Any suggestions? I would REALLy appreciate your help.
Thanks!- Do they both have the same iOS? The latest is 5.1?
- Look at the dock connectors for both units and compare them., Loof for bent, missing or corroded contacts and other abnormalities.
- Tey the following with the non-working one:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
-Restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -
I am having a problem with facebook notifications. The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner. I've tried everything but restoring the phone. Is this a phone problem or an app problem? Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it?
1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again -
Acrobat 9 trial in WIN 7 loaded fine, but doesn't print.
09.25.10
I just loaded Acrobat 9 trial in WIN 7 and it loaded fine, but doesn't print.
When I go to print a PDF, after entering the file name, an Acrobat software setup box asks for the serial # or "continue to use product on a trial basis".
I select the continue option, click "next" the box disappears - then nothing happens. This repeats each time I try and print, even after a reboot.
Having selected Acrobat as the default printer did not change anything. Help! DaveYou may have to update Acrobat. I am not sure that AA9.0 works correctly with Win 7.

Artwork doesn't print when printing cd insert, it shows on the preview but doesn't print?
Hi, after downloading the latest version of Itunes, the artwork no longer prints on the cd insert? It shows on the preview, but doesn't print on the insert? It worked fine before and the printer is working fine, it prints color photos and artwork, no problem?
Since you can see it in your device list it must have Find My Mac activated, but you're going to have to wait for them to take it online in order to either locate, lock or wipe it. Until it goes online you can't do anything. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/find-my-device/

Having problem with my hp officejet j6480 all-in-one printer
i am having problem with my HP officejet j6480 all-in-one printer it prints very slow
the operating system is windows 7 32-bits i download full driver software but that did not fix the problem
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi - Does it print slowly from all applications or just certain ones? In either case, you can try following the steps in this document.
In addition, try going into Control Panel, Printer, right click on the printer and choose Printer Properties. Click on the Advanced Tab and select Print Direcly to the Printer.
Hope that helps.

I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says - 'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!
Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -
I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck! -
I have a problem with iPad2, apple logo appears but iPad won't boot up, then logo disappears & iPad dies - probably caused due to insufficient hard disk space (foolishly loaded up too many apps) - any help/advice greatly appreciated

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X

I'm unable to install the newest version of itunes on my pc, the promt says that there is a problem with the windows installer package, but I have downloaded the exe more than once. Is anyone able to help?
Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.
