Problems with cups

My printer (Epson Stylus Color 460) worked a few days ago. Now wen I try to print something, knotify shows an error:
A print error occurred. Error message received from system:
cupsdoprint -P 'Epson' -J '' -H 'localhost:631' -U 'root' -o ' copies=1 orientation-requested=3' '/tmp/kde-piotrek/kpdfh5Qzec.ps' : execution failed with message:
client-error-document-format-not-supported
or
A print error occurred. Error message received from system:
cupsdoprint -P 'Epson' -J 'KDE Print Test' -H 'localhost:631' -U 'root' -o ' copies=1 multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-collated-copies orientation-requested=3' '/opt/kde/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' : execution failed with message:
client-error-document-format-not-supported
Generally an error here is "client-error-document-format-not-supported ".
I tried to hash and unhash the line:
application/octet-stream
in /etc/cups/mime.types and /etc/cups/mime.convs. I googled it could help, but not in my case.
I can print some files using cupsdoprint or lp without -o argument. But I cannot print any odt or pdf files. Only plain text.
The only error that shows up in cups logs is:
Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
I googled all the net, and I didn't find a solution, so I really count on you guys.

  • 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!

  • SP10 - multiple approver problem with CUP

    We have SP10 (patch 1) in our development system and cannot move forward to production because of a real show stopper.  I have currently reported this to SAP thru an OSS message (and it is in development) but would like to know if anyone else is having this issue with SP10.  (this happened even before applying patch 1)
    We have multiple approvers when creating NEW users or CHANGING users in CUP.  We have it configured to allow just one of the approvers to approve before going on to the next stage.  Since we put in SP10, CUP is requiring ALL approvers to approve the request before going on to the next stage.  We get the following message when one of the approvers approve the request:  Request no: 5020. is approved, pending for other Approvers. 
    I've seen this reported for UAR and SOD but not for CUP.  In fact, there is a fix for UAR in Patch 1 of SP10.  I applied this patch but it hasn't fixed the CUP issue.  I also don't have the issue when rejecting a CUP request, or when approving it through the configuration --> Request --> Administration screen (what I consider the Back-door since only security administrators get the configuration area).
    Thanks for your input.
    Peggy

    Christian,
    I totally agree with you.
    The good news is.... We installed SP11.1 and the multiple approver problem is fixed. 
    We have decided to leave our production system at SP8 until this system settles down a bit.  Of course, this means we can't use many of the new fixes and features (such as UAR).  We use our sandbox system to apply new support packs and do very rigorous testing.  And our DEV system is at SP8 too.
    Good Luck.

  • [SOLVED] Problem With Cups and Hp printer.

    I am new to using cups. I usually have my operating system do everything for me. Arch seems to be a lot more tricky though.
    I have an HP Deskjet 6980 printer. I have been able to successfully use it with Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora. I noticed that Arch came with HP Device Manager. This is the same program I used to add my printer to fedora. I decided to use this. During the process of adding my printer, it recognized it and when I pressed add printer, it said please restart CUPS and try again. I opened up system monitor and killed the cups process. I then tried to run the installer again and I got the same error. Then I tried to load up the cups interface on firefox but it failed to. I think I need to restart cups but I do not know how.

    Nevermind. I figured it out. My printer now works. Thanks for telling me how to restart cups.
    Could you possibly post how you solved it so others reading this thread can benefit from it?

  • Problem with CUPS and Canceling jobs

    I am using OS 10.3.9 on a 1.42 MDD PowerMac
    I am having a problem trying to cancel Jobs using the CUPS interface. When I select "Cancel" I get an error "client-error-forbidden".
    I have tried logging in as Root but the same error occurs.
    I have run "CacheOut" and deleted all cache thinking that it would solve my problem.
    I can't seem to find any answers anywhere.
    I have 1 fax job and 1 print job that I would like to remove from the Que.
    If I knew where these files were I would manually delete them, but I cannot find them, except in the CUPS interface
    I was thinking of installing CUPS 1.2b2, as it has more features and maybe it would solve my problem.
    Are there any problems that I should know about before installing this software. If I install it I can't go back to my original CUPS without re-installing the system.
    Thanks,

    Nicholas,
    I assume you're talking about accessing your printer from your browser by using the URL http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/
    Understand you can't log in as Admin?
    Do you have an appication named after your printer in the folder Home/Library/Printers ? If so, click on it and see if you can see your job.
    If not, try downloading Printer Setup Repair from:
    http://www.fixamacsoftware.com/software/index.html
    Seems to do a great job in fixing problems, and might restore your ability to monitor your print jobs. I was only able to monitor and delete my print jobs through the CUPS interface on my browser until I ran Printer Setup Repair. After that, I was able to use the application mentioned in my first paragraph to do the monitoring (and it works great!)
    Hope this helps!

    Whenever I print a page using cups, it first prints out an extra page saying who printed it, what time, etc.  It's a useful feature, but it wastes a lot of paper.  Is there any way to disable it?  Thanks

  • CUPS problems with PDF printing

    I am having all manner of problems with PDF printing.  Recently added a Lexmark MX710 and have 7 machines that were previously printing fine to an X652de a T652 as well as a Samsung CLP770.  All network printers.
    Now there are bizarre issues with PDF printing. CUPS version 1.6.1.  The MX710 will blue screen and reboot when printing one specific pdf without fail.  There are all kinds of random nonsensical results when printing from different locations.  A pdf that stalls the X and T652 with "filter error" will print from my own machine to the same printer, using the same versions of cups, .ppd file, and everything package related to cups.
    Yet other PDF files will print, while some print complete gibberish, I can't find any rhyme or reason or anything predictable about any of it other than to say printing postscript files works fine all around.
    This has been universally in KDE printing through Okular.
    I've tried some things I've found suggested, such as modifying the mime.conv as suggested by an old ubuntu thread, adding the a2ps package, all to zero effect.
    Last edited by TheWretched (2012-12-08 00:27:41)

    At this point the only reasonable explanation I can think of is that the ppd package I downloaded and installed via included shell script from lexmark for the mx710 caused this whole catastrophe.  The only common thread for this problem starting was that I used this on all of the affected machines and they now all manifest problems.  And on four of these machines this is literally all that was done, they were loaded in september, have not been updated via pacman in any way, and are running the exact same version of cups poppler, and okular that they were then, which was working, and now cannot print pdf to any printer at all without causing one of several problems depending on the printer.
    I cannot seem to get this reversed though.  I've gone so far as to force remove all the cups packages, and delete the files associated with the install script, but the problem remains afterward.  From what I can see so far all this lexmark package did was display a license agreement, then copy the ppd files in it's folder to /usr/share/ppd/Lexmark.  This particular printer, the mx710 has no .ppd available that I have found other than this one from Lexmark directly.  Open printing doesn't have anything for this model.
    This printer's driver has some kind of a cups filter driver with it that the install script presumably installs, I suspect this could be what caused the problem specifically, but I must not be removing it correctly, despite following the file removal suggestions in the Lexmark readme for uninstallation.  CUPS printing is something I am new to and only have a basic understanding of.
    To answer some specific questions I nearly forgot, I don't have cups pdf installed.  I have chrome installed which can successfully save pages to PDF, previously it could also print pdf, and presumably it prints everything as pdf given the cups pdf workflow.  That is also broken now too, so printing from the browser causes the printer to fail as well.  If I save as pdf from chrome, and print with adobe reader, it works.

    Problems with Epson Stylus 3000 IP Ethernet
    The printer stops processing after reaching 1,72% of printing.

  • Problem with Class and Classpath

    Hello ME Windows Users, now before you place a wry smile on your face, I have a problem with path and classpath. Stop it, I can see you smiling!
    By visiting the the last 10 pages of the forum and reading Sun installation notes, some tooldocs and by given some answers by some nice people, I have become an expert in turning off my computer, about 10 times/hr. I still am trying to make my first cup of java.
    With the ME computer,
    I'm unable to right click on the desktop and go to properties, advanced,
    I'm unable to go go start, run, sysedit,
    I'm unable to change the ms-dos window of autoexec.bat, it just shuts down.
    Now before you tell me, I should of bought a different computer, the only place I can find to modify the path and classpath is in the environment which is in system configuration under tools. Here I have placed numerous configurations, like
    C:\java>set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin
    C:\java>set classpath=%classpath%;.;
    ;java_dir\bin where ;java_bin is c:\j2sdk1.4.2
    .; java_dir\bin; %path% where ;java_bin is c:\j2sdk1.4.2 and the list goes on.
    But, I know you are still smiling, the % signs comes up in a dialog box, saying too many, and will not convert the text to the environment to be saved when I close down for the tenth time in the last hour.
    Can someone help me before I make a real cup of coffee and accidentally drop it on the ME box.
    Have a laugh on me Mik.

    C:\java>set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.2\binGood
    But it is no good because it has to many % and a dialog box appears, saying you have too many parameters.
    Are you saying I have to shutdown again to answer your ?

  • Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

    I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone.  Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
    However, there is one very annoying problem I am having.  When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic.  I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
    Here are the tests I ran:
    Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear.  Call result, pretty muffled voice.  I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
    Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone.  This definatelyimproved call quality.  Was louder and clearer, but not perfect.  I'd rate it at 8/10.
    Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic.  This was a further improvement in sound quality.  Rating would be 9/10.
    Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole.  Very low volume and muffled sound.  Rating a 4/10.
    Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic.  This gave perfect call quality and volume.  Rating a 10/10!
    Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
    Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone.  Call quality was really nice.  Id give it 9/10.
    Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7.  Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
    Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand.  Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7.  Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
    Speaker phone on, placed face down on table.  Volume a bit low, a little muffled.  Call quality 6/10.
    Speaker phone on, place face up on table.  A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled.  Call quality is 5/10.
    Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection.  It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
    I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality.  And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good.  That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
    Is anyone else seeing the same issues?  I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
    Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give.  Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

    After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
    Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
    Problem:
    - New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions. 
    - When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi. 
    - The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install). 
    Solution:
    1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
    Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
    Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software  for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
    The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
    1 Printer Driver
    (Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
    2 Scanner Driver
    (Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
    3 Network Tool
    (Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
    Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
    4 Solution Menu
    (Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
    5 MP Navigator EX
    (Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
    6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
    (Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
    Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
    http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
    Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
    1. Choose a product category
    Multifunctional Printers
    2. Choose a product series
      Pixma
    3. Choose a product model
      Pixma MX868
    4. Choose type of document
    Downloads or FAQ
    If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
    2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
    Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB.  Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’).  This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
    3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
    After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
    Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
    DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list).  The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
    You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
    If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List.  It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
    If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

  • Printing problems with HP  Color Laserjet 1500L

    Can anyone please help me with the following problem?
    The printer will only do the first job. After that it refuses to print. The job stops, remains in the queue, and cannot be started.
    Or…it looks as if it sends the print information to the printer – the green light of the printer flashes – but nothing further happens. The queue is empty and the job’s name even appears in the completed section.
    The HP 1500L and the USB port are visible in the System Profiler. I have downloaded and installed the latest driver and did run Repair Disk Permissions.
    I can only print again after I restarted or unplug and (re)plug the USB cable (not always). The cable is not faulty...but I'm going crazy.
    I am new to the Mac world. The MacBook Pro being my first (and the way it looks definitely not the last--wonderful machine).
    Any suggestions?

    To use the OS X standard network protocols (Windows/IP printing), you must have either a postscript printer (the driver in that case is just a ppd for the OS X postscript output) OR, a driver designed to work with CUPS (CUPS driver). HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for OS X (who knows why, since they do for linux).
    You need to install foomatic and ESP ghostscript:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
    then, install the foo2oak driver:

  • Problem with network printer on Windows 7 machine

    I'm running Mavericks on a Mac Mini.  I have a Windows 7 machine with an attached Brother HL-5340D printer.  I'm using the Brother HL-5340D CUPS driver.  Whatever configuration I use, I cannot get my Mac to print from the Brother.  I have even set up dhcp on the Mac and connected to the Windows machine with a cable.  I have tried ipp, ldr/ldp, windows, ip, and most of the relevant options under advanced, and nothing works.  I've run out of ideas on what to try and how to test and where to look for hints.  All I get is the following:
    Unable to connect to ‘192.168.33.2’ due to an error.
    Not a lot of help.

    James Wilde wrote:
    1. I forgot to say that it was the Mac equivalent of dhcpd that I turned on so that the Mac is the server, on 192.168.33.1, and it has assigned the number 192.168.33.2 to the Windows box.  And yes, I do prefer in these cases to use fixed addresses, but the Windows box seemed reluctant to accept its ip address thus the decision to start dhcpd on the Mac.  After that I could not ping the Windows box from the Mac box.  I didn't try to ping the Mac from the Windows box.  I'll try that tomorrow.  As to the network, there are only these two machines on the cable network.  The default router on the Windows box is, if I remember correctly, set by dhcpd to the ip address of the house router.  I have now disabled the cable network.  See below.
    Unusual that you could not ping Windows from the Mac. Would explain why you got a connection error with this setup. But if you have now stopped using the cable connection then this is mute.
    James Wilde wrote:
    2.  The network profile is set to Home on the Windows box.  I don't see any references to Homegroup in any of my messages on this topic.  If you are referring to another post I made on a different subject, I am aware of the problems with Homegroup, and as far as I know, I have avoided this, since my wife's Windows box is the only Windows box in the house.  Everything else is either Mac or Ubuntu, apart from one or two Windows virtual machines on my Mac and Ubuntu boxes.
    No, you didn't mention Homegroup but you did mention not being able to see the Windows computer "Incidentally I now find that I can't get any result from selecting Windows in the Add Printer dialog." So I thought I would mention that Homegroup can cause this.
    James Wilde wrote:
    3.  I've tried all three options in the Add printer dialog, IP, Windows, and Advanced.  Under Advanced I have tried lpd and spoolss and ipp, under ip I have tried ipp and lpd.  The share name is Brother-HL-5340D, and the hyphen between Brother and HL I put there myself to make it one 'word'.
    I've just tried your suggestion and get the following when I click on Add.
    Unable to verify the printer on your network.
    Unable to connect to ‘192.168.1.202’ due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?
    I've seen this occur when the LPD process is not working. Open the Services pane on the PC and check the LPD service has started. If it is running and you still get the error message, what happens if you say yes to creating the printer?
    James Wilde wrote:
    As i said, I have disabled the cable network and am using the house wifi network (all machines with fixed IPs).  I can ping the computer and have just mounted a disk on her computer with smb using Finder/Go.  The mount does appear to be read only, but at least I can open all the folders.
    Anything else I can try?
    That is a good outcome. Proves there is a functional path between both computers.
    Since you can connect using SMB, and if you cannot LPD to work, then try adding the printer again using the Windows view in the Add printer pane. You should see the workgroup used by the Win7 PC followed by the Win7 computer name. Selecting it should prompt you to authenticate (unless you have saved the account in Keychain) and then the printer share name should appear. After selecting the share, select the Generic PS driver as a test to see if you can submit a print job - open the print queue on the Win7 PC to see if the print job appears. If this does work, you can remove the printer on the Mac and add again, this time selecting the Brother driver and then see if this works.

  • Problems with stopped HP Print Jobs on Mac OS 10.5.

     I have several Mac Stations with different Mac OS X versions (Mac OS X 10.5-10.7) and bought 2 HP Laser Printers:
    - HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw
    - HP LaserJet Pro 200 M276nw
    After installing the HP Driver SW on all Mac Stations I changed then on the Printers the dynamic IP address to static ones. The printing didnt work anymore from the Mac Stations. I re-installed all Driver SW on every Mac Station. Then Printing worked on every Mac, except only on the Mac OS X 10.5. Station the Print Jobs were always stopped after any Print attempt.
    This appeared on the Mac OS X 10.5. Machine in the Printer Spooler Job Message Window and within the error_log File content:
    - can't create PictWPSDoc from `/private/var/spool/cups/xxx'.ERROR during execution of pictwpstops. Error number -9783
    As it seems like problems existed with file permissions I ran a complete Disk Utility File Permission Repair. Then another reinstall of the HP Driver Packages. - Still the same failures with stopping Print Jobs.
    Then I read the README file of the Installation Package. And the quite simple solution was:
    DE-INSTALL the HP Driver SW FIRST (with the HP Deinstallator), BEFORE RE-INSTALLING the HP Driver SW again.
    So I did this, then no Print Jobs were stopped anymore and both Printer are happily printing.
    The conclusion is, I guess, Mac 10.6..10.7 does not have problem with multiple re-installation of the HP driver SW. Only the Mac OS 10.5. did NOT work anymore after another reinstall of the Driver SW Package, and without de-installing it properly. The bottom line is to de-install the driver SW (and maybe disk repair) properly BEFORE another insallation wants to be done. This however solved my printing problems on the Mac OS X 10.5. machine.

  • (Another) Problem with HP Photosmart - reinstallation

    I have a Photosmart C5280 All-in-One and a MacBook Pro, with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, using Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    Scenario this morning:
    The printer will photocopy, but there is no connection between the printer and the computer, it is not a problem with the usb cable connection. The computer will not send anything to the printer to print, and the scanner will not end anything to the computer.
    I repaired permissions using disk utility at least three times this morning. (I do it fairly often anyway).
    Scenario now:
    I have now uninstalled the software, using the HP uninstall programme, but then deleted the remaining items manually as instructed in the section on the HP site for Macs and uninstallation. I have also emptied the trash.
    Sadly however, it has made absolutely no difference. Whenever I put the installation disk into the CD drive, I can only get as far as identifying the printer. There are no printers listed, and when I tick the box, it comes up with Photosmart C5200 Series, which is correct. But the next continue box is then greyed out. (I'm wondering if following the HP instructions was such a good idea now).
    I am now stuck. I have uninstalled and can not reinstall. I have used these two together for the past year (or more) without any problems. When I initially installed, it worked fine. No problems at all. I have not recently changed any software or upgraded anything on the OS. The two were communicating last week, when I did some scanning and printing.
    Confession: I had the first problem (no scanning/printing) a couple of weeks ago, and decided to look in trash to see if I had mistakenly got rid of something and found an hp file in there. Pulled it back out. All worked fine again. But today, total blip, and no hp files in trash.
    I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution. I'm capable of following instructions. Oh, I have mailed Hp, but I've had no response so far. I have also looked through the stuff on here, but haven't found a similar problem, ie the connection just disappears into the ether.

    I had a response from HP:
    1) Was the printer powered on? It needs to be turned on.
    2) Was the USB plugged directly from the back on the printer to the Mac? You are not using a hub, airport or a USB cable more than 10 feet long?
    3) Power cycle the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait 10-15 seconds and reconnect the cord. Power on the printer. Was it found?
    4) If not, restart the Mac. Once you are back up, if the HP setup Assistant does not automatically launch you can launch it by clicking on Hard Drive > Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Utilities or Device Utilities > HP Setup Assistant. Double click to launch. Was it found?
    5) If not, plug the USB cable into a different port on the computer. Was it found?
    6) If the printer is still not found, check the system profiler for the device. Click on the Blue Apple in the upper left corner, then About this Mac. On the next screen click on More Info. On the System Profiler screen, click on USB under Hardware. On the right is the printer found under USB device tree?
    7) Another thing we need to check is when you installed the software did you select the correct device. The newer printer software may contain multiple products. If you did not select the correct device during the install, the computer is looking for a different device and not finding it. To check this, run the HP uninstaller. Open Hard Drive> Applications > Hewlett-Packard > HP Uninstaller. When you get to uninstall selected device, what printer is listed. If it is not you model series, run the uninstaller. Quit the uninstaller when complete, disconnect the USB cable and restart. When you back to the desktop, empty the trash, and reinstall the software. Wait for the option to select your device!
    I want to be sure the troubleshooting steps I provided resolve the issue. If the issue continues, please reply to this message with the results. We will be glad to assist you further.
    It was not unreasonable, but I had checked the box that said Intermediate (level of computer knowledge) - so I thought asking me if the printer was turned on/checking the ports/ etc etc was a little basic.
    However on browsing this forum for similar probs I noticed a reference to Printer Setup Repair (it may have been one of your suggestions BDAqua to a different problem) so downloaded it for a free trial. Although I regularly verify and repair permissions with disk utility, I tried with Printer Setup Repair, and got this message:
    Monday, December 15, 2008 12:16:04

    Done.
    Verification complete.
    837 files examined. No problems were found.
    11 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
    That message would explain why, the last time I had a problem, it was resolved with reinstalling OS X. What I don't understand is why a file suddenly disappears? Perhaps I need to move my queries to one about OS X? (I have OS X on my other Apple and no probs there.)
    Anyway, thank you for your responses and if you have any further advice or suggestions, I would be happy to hear.
