Removing print drivers from Leopard

is it a)advisable and b)easy to remove unwanted printe drivers from Leopard's Library folder?

The printer folder is 2.7gb big, and I only use an Epson and/or a Lexmark, so I thought I might free up space to create an eDrive for TechTool. David Pogue's useful book on Leopard says you just trash unwanted drivers, but an article I just read online at Peachpit says that this can cause printing problems so I have a twinge of nervousness

  • Epson Printer Drivers and Leopard - Epson 740 or Epson RX700 problems

    It seems even after Epson updated their printer drivers Leopard will not all me to print to my Epson Stylus Color 740 AND my Epson RX700, I must choose one over the other.
    If I install the printer drivers from Apple they include drivers for the old Epson Stylus Color 740 and it works fine. The problem is it kills my new Epson RX700 printer. It still works, but I cannot print CDs.
    If I delete the Epson printer drivers from my Library folder and start over with the updated Epson RX700 drivers I can print to the RX700 including to CDs, but they do not offer an Epson Stylus Color 740 printer driver beyond system 9.
    I have tried installing the newer Epson RX700 drivers over top of the Apple installation but the same result happens.
    Can anybody help? I need the old drivers from Apple's system 10.5 installation disk so I can print to my old workhorse Epson 740 and my Apple 630 laser writer pro. But I also would like to print to CDs using my new RX700.

    I have exactly the same problem...I have submitted a query to Epson...but we all know how good support is from companies like Epson and Apple

  • Printing to a Print Server from Leopard

    I am a new Mac user, but have been in the IT for a long time. I have a Troy200 wireless print server at home that connects to Brother HL-1440 laser printer via a USB port. I print from all my Windows workstations to the Brother wirelessly. The way printing is set up in Windows is as follows: The HL-1440 driver is assigned to use a "Standard TCP/IP Port". The IP address of my Troy200 print server is 192.168.200.10. The Port Settings in Windows are configured for "Raw", and the Port Number is 9101. The Troy200 has the ability to work with up to 8 USB-based printers when a USB hub is used. I don't use a USB hub -- I connected my Brother HL-1440 directly to the Troy200's USB port. The first USB device connected to the Troy200 uses TCP port 9101.
    I have absolutely no problems printing from Windows to the Troy200 print server. However, I can't get printing to work from my new Macbook Air running Leopard 10.5.2.
    I select the IP Printing option on the Print/Fax confuguration applet in System Preferences. There are three options there: IPP, LPD, and CUPS. I tried both IPP and CUPS, and using the "192.168.250.10" address as well as "192.168.250.10:9101". Then I select the driver from the drop-down list for my printer "Brother HL-1440". When I try to print, all I get is a jumping printer icon on the dock.
    The problem is that I need to be able to specify TCP port 9101. I can't find a place in the printer configuration utility where I can enter the TCP port number. Again, using "192.168.250.10:9101" doesn't work.
    Also, there are actually two printer drivers for the Brother HL-1440 listed among printer drivers in Leopard. One of them is a "gutenprint" driver. I tried both of them, and neither one worked. Actually, when I go to the status page on my print server after I try to print from Leopard, the status of the printer is "sleep". So, it doesn't appear that the print job from sent from my Macbook Air even hits the print server.
    I can ping my print server from my Macbook Air, and I can even http to its admin pages. So, the network connectivity is fine.
    Please help the newbie!

    you should start a new thread, you'd have a better chance of getting an answer. I'll try to answer your question.

    Greg,
    I'm running Panther Server 10.3.9 in a vLAN with 16 OS 9 clients. They all print to 2 Xerox Phaser 6200 and 6250 network printers. I am unable to print to either one. I have limited desk space so a USB-attached printer, while more convenient, is impractical. When I run Classic from the Server, I can print to the Phasers.
    that means that OS X is seeing the printers. When you print in Classic, what happens is that the Classic drivers (LaserWriter 8) hands off the print jobs to the appropriate OS X drivers, which do the actual printing.
    I can connect to administer them both with a browser.
    this definitely means that you can see the printers.
    I have all the drivers I should need (new re-installs), but print jobs stop every time.
    Does this mean that the drivers are installed and are visible in Print & Fax?
    Is there a log file or some way I can see why these jobs fail?]
    There are logs, some of which are visible in CUPS using the browser.
    What error messages are you getting?
    Do you have any pearls of wisdom?
    Thanks

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • Uninstalling Fireface 400 drivers from Leopard???

    Guys, I have a couple of questions for you if you can help me out. Me and my friend have recently tried to install Fireface 400 on my MacBook Pro. Manual said that we are supposed to connect interface, switch it on, than switch on computer, and that the Mac itself will recognize the interface and ask for installation of drivers. It did not happen. In fact, Leopard did not "see" it in any shape, and what I was concerned about the most is that in the System Preferences>Network section Firewire port was switched off and there was no way for us to switch it on, or at least we did not know how. Another thing...Than we installed drivers for Fireface 400 and restarted the whole thing. Fireface 400 APPEARED, but only in DEVICE section in Logic Pro Audio section. It was still not visible in system preferences. How is this possible? Now I am back home and I do not know how to uninstall fireface drivers...should I only delete the two apps that came with it or there are some more files that should be deleted in order to remove this device from system?
    One more thing, is there any way to make your WHOLE MAC OS audio go through the sound card, because the sound is going through my studio monitors (via external) sound card while working under Logic, but when I play songs via iTunes or QuickTime, my integrated laptop speakers play.
    Can this be fixed?
    Sorry for all this writing, I really wanna know as much as possible!
    Thanx in advance!

    It sounds like your Fireface IS working properly, if you can select it in Logic's Sound Preferences, and if you can hear sound coming out of it through Logic.
    Logic has its own Sound Preferences, which you've found, but in order to make sound go out of the Fireface from iTunes and other applications, go to System Preferences, select SOUND, and then select the Output tab and select the Fireface from the list of output devices. Then all of your Mac audio will go out of the Fireface.
    When you select Firewire in Network Preferences, that is to set up a NETWORK between two computers using a firewire cable. You will NOT see Audio Interfaces or other things hooked up via Firewire here, so don't worry about that. You should never need to look here unless you're setting up a NETWORK between two computers, or setting up an internet connection. This has nothing to do with firewire devices.
    If you see your Audio Device when you look at SOUND preferences in System Prefs, and when you look in DEVICES inside of Logic, then the drivers are installed correctly and the interface should work.
    If you want to see anything and everything that is hooked up to your firewire or other ports, select ABOUT THIS MAC from the Apple menu top left, and then select MORE INFORMATION. When the System Profiler program comes up, select FIREWIRE from the column on the left and you should see every device that is connected.
    Good Luck!

  • How do you reinstall just print drivers in Leopard?

    I just began using my MacBook Pro running Leopard with an Epson Sylus Photo 2200. I am having trouble printing with it. I made the mistake of using the disc that came with the printer to install print drivers to my Mac. I am unable to print most of the time from most applications. Epson's web support says Leopard has the drivers already built in. Did I over write the drivers when I installed the old ones from the disc? And if so can I reinstall Leopard's Epson drivers without having to reinstall Leopard completely? Thanks in advance for you help.
    Steve

    you are right, I forgot about that. this is definitely easier. to elaborate on john's post. insert the leopard install DVD open it in finder and double-click on optional installs->optional installs.mpkg. follow the instructions. on the screen with the choice of software to install choose printer drivers.

  • Need printer driver from Leopard CD, don't have CD anymore

    Hi all,
    I am a university student, and I just recently went home, across the country, and installed Leopard from a family pack. Now that I have returned to school, I find that my printer (Lexmark P4350) is not working, and from my research the solution is to get the Leopard CD (or DVD I guess I should be saying) and install the driver for it. However, I no longer have the Leopard DVD, because I installed when I was at home, and left the DVD there. Is there any way of getting a download of these drivers from Apple (or anyone else)?

    Heely,
    Do you know anyone else at your university who has a Leopard Installation disk?
    I do not think that it would be a breach of the Installation License if you used it to reinstall the Lexmark drivers using the "Optional Installs" package, by selecting Printer Drivers>Lexmark Printer Drivers.
    Make sure to follow the "Troubleshooting" paragraph in Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) Installation.

  • Windows 7 x64 can't read/install any printer drivers from Windows Server 2003 x64 (AMD64 folder and HP Deskjet 855c)

    I read the thread Widows 7 printer
    HP deskjet 855c driver about possible installation of HP855c drivers onto Windows 7 x64 from "Windows Server 2003 x64" CD but I didn't have enough luck to succeed with doing it on my laptop. That thread appears to be dead now
    as it is marked "Answered", so I'm asking for help here. I have Toshiba Satellite P500 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (http://i55.tinypic.com/2zgth6v.jpg). 
    Let me tell you first that I don't have access to Windows Server 2003 x64 or XP Pro 64 CD's. However I did some research online, which eventually forced me to learn about the "file sharing". After extensive search I was able to get the copies
    of AMD64 folders from Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 with SP2 and
    XP Pro 64. The reason that I went also after XP Pro was because I thought that the extra wording "R2 Standard x64 with SP2" in description of "Windows Server 2003" did not reflect the exact name provided by poster
    Alan. I couldn't find just "Windows Server 2003 x64" (does it matter?).
    Anyway, I followed first the drill with running "printui /s /t2" and disabling UAC, and then in both cases I was able to locate the
    NTPRINT.INF file (http://oi51.tinypic.com/9qwvt2.jpg - this image is from XP Pro AMD64 folder) but each time when I
    attempted to install the driver, I got the same message stating:
    "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software drive for your device. If the folder contains the driver, make sure it's designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." (http://oi53.tinypic.com/27yveiw.jpg)
    Why aren't there x64 drivers?
    During several installation attempts I had the printer connected to or disconnected from my laptop. It didn't make any difference. I must add that for this purpose I had to use different cable than the original one designated only for the
    Parallel port in my old desktop with Windows XP. My new laptop with Windows 7 x64 came only with 3 USB ports (plus 1 HDMI and 1 Serial). Because of that situation I bought in advance a new printer cable called “USB to 36-pin Parallel Port Adapter
    Cable” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A8I75E). I'm not sure, if it will work until I can install the printer.
    Besides, nobody talked about this issue yet. I was also playing with the port choices in "Add printer" step; changing from default LPT1 to USB001 with the same negative results.
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was very hopeful after reading positive "case closed" notes there.
    Can anyone help me here, maybe by making the necessary files available for download? I'm willing to pay for such assistance or make a donation, if necessary. Seriously. Judging by the large number of views of the original
    thread, one could assume that there is a potential demand for such service. It would be more human to pay few bucks for a few driver files than $900 for the whole Windows Server 2003 x64 CD, no? Can Microsoft accomodate me/us, please? :)
    Andrew*
    P.S. I was advised to come for help here from
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-x64-cant-readinstall-any-printer-drivers/4e7d06e1-33a5-4597-be70-4fdc087a63a7?msgId=9a045994-0d31-4d40-b17d-dba372393ee4

    I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
    I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
    message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
    I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.  
    I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder. 
    I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
    driver' when installing the HP 855c.
    I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility
    message (probably the same one mentioned above).

  • Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

    How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
    Here's the scenerio.  When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank.  If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected.  If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank.  But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

    I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question.  And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question.  And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
    Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
    CR Service Packs applied = None
    Web or Win app? = Win App
    OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
    Development language?  = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
    Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
    Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
    What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
    So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
    I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
    1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
    2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
        Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
        Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
        Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
        Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
        Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
    3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
        ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
    4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
    5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
    6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
        ie.  crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
    7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
    8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
    9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
        ie.  crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
    MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
    PROBLEMS:
    1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
    2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
    3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply.  As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
    4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
    5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
    All i want to do is either:
    1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
    2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.

  • 3 different HP print drivers from 7 Macs all running 10.4.6?

    I am attempting to setup an HP Color LaserJet 3550, connected to the network via the included USB to ethernet print server. The printer does have a static IP address, but for now I am trying to setup the printer using 'Bonjour'.
    From all systems, I go to Printer Setup > Default Browser, and select "hp color LaserJet 3550 (000E7FE922F3)". The Print Using menu defaults to Auto Select, and after a few seconds pops in the following, per system (again, all running Mac OS X 10.4.6):
    iMac G5 (20"): hp color LaserJet 1.4
    PowerBook G4: hp color LaserJet 1.4.5
    iMac G5 (17"): hp color LaserJet 1.4.5
    iMac G5 (17"): hp color LaserJet 1.4.5
    iMac G5 (17"): hp color LaserJet 1.4.5
    iMac G5 (17"): hp color LaserJet 1.4.5
    iMac Intel: hp color LaserJet 2.0
    If it's not obvious, I'm wondering why the heck the same OS version has different print drivers for the same printer.
    I tried HP's website for updated LaserJet 3550 drivers, and the only option that pops up is the LaserJet 1.4 installer. In the case of the 20" iMac above listing the 1.4 driver, I probably inadvertently overwrote version 1.4.5...
    So, why is this happening and can I possibly update ALL of my Macs to version 2.0 of this HP driver sofware?
    Also, I would like to believe that I can get better speed results if I setup my printers using the IP Printer method. I would love advice on that.

    7 different Macs   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi Greg, thanks for the reply.
    I went ahead and downloaded the 10.4.6 Combo Update and reinstalled it on the 20" iMac successfully, but curiously the driver remains "hp color LaserJet 1.4". I didn't bother reinstalling the Combo Update on the others that are already pulling up "hp color LaserJet 1.4.5" due to your comment about the Intel versions being "different" - I figure 1.4.5 is the latest version for the PowerPC code.
    I also assumed my printer WAS a postscript printer, especially since, when adding the printer as an IP Printer > HP JetDirect - Socket > Print Using: Auto Select, it pulls up "Generic PostScript Printer" automatically.
    I tried installing that hpijs software along with the ESP Gostscript software, and, using the IP Printer / HP JetDirect - Socket process, I can select "HP Color LaserJet 3500 Foomatic/hpijs" from the HP list. But, when I try to print anything to this new printer, the print job appears to go through on the computer, but nothing ever shows on the printer.
    Anyway, it appears as though I am stuck using Bonjour with whatever HP Color LaserJet version the OS feels like using (1.4, 1.4.5 or 2.0). My next question would be if I can somehow setup the printer using the IP address and still use the HP Color LaserJet driver that seems to work. I still don't know if using Bonjour would be slower than a static IP setup...
    Setting up printers in Mac OS X has become quite annoying.

  • Hoiw to remove print job from queue?

    How can I remove a "print job" from the queue.  Selecting "cancel all printing jobs" will not remove it.  It says it is deleting, it is not doing anything.   Help please.    As long as this job is showing the printer will not print anything else.

    Hi Betty,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    The job queue may be stuck.
    Switch off the printer
    IF you are running a notebook, first do this:
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
    Boot the computer and log in
    OR
    If you are not running a notebook, just
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    stop all your running programs, 
    shut down completely
    Boot the computer and log in
    Switch on the printer and wait until it is all back up and running.
    That probably won't fix the queue, but it will clear the rest of the cobwebs.
    Next, try this:
    Control Panel> icon view > Administrative Tools> Services>
    Click on Name to sort the column alphabetically >
    Scroll down and look for Print spooler> Highlight Print Spooler>
    Click Restart the service

  • Trackpad+keyboard not responding after installing drivers from Leopard DVD

    I've just installed the Windows XP (SP2) drivers from my Mac OS X DVD (10.5.2), just sitting and watching as it progressed. When the final notice appears, saying that I am to press "finish" to exit the setup, I discover that the trackpad is unresponsive and so is the keyboard (I have a 15" MacBook Pro). I tried pressing the "shut off" button on my MBP and it turned off immediately. After starting up again I tried to connect a mouse using both USB-ports with no results.
    I.e., there's no response from either USB port, nothing from the trackpad and nothing from the keyboard. Please help

    Yes same here. Installed new trackpad driver on 18th Dec and the trackpad has had HUGE issues - unresponsive after resuming from hibernation in Vista. Takes about 5-10 minutes to sort itself out. Horrendous!!

  • How to remove printer drivers and associated software?

    I'm fairly new to Apple, so please bear with me...  I recently upgraded to an Airprint-compatible all-in-one (HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus) and have given my previous Canon MG6150 all-in-one to my daughter.  Now I want to remove the Canon software and the printer driver.  There's no uninstall routines, I've searched the Internet extensively but despite looking carefully in Cannon and Apple sites, haven't found anything that documents my circumstances..
    The software includes
    - Canon IJ Network scanner (currently in menu bar at top left of screen)
    - Easy-Photo Print
    - Canon Solution Menu EX
    - Canon OnScreen Manual
    - MP Navigator EX
    - MP Navigator EX Opener
    Most of these seem to be in the Applications folder.  Is it just a case of deleting these from the Applications folder or is there something else to do?
    Then there's two drivers (printer and scanner) for the MG6150 all-in-one.  There a *massive pile* of files within Library/Printers/Canon within folders called BJPrinter and IJScanner.  One of these is the Canon IJ Network software referred to above.
    Would appreciate advice...
    Tim

    First, resetting your printing system is a good start: right-click on any printer in the System Preferences and click on the command.
    Next, while in System Prefs, remove anything printer/scanner related from your Login Items list, e.g. the IJ network scanner.
    Log out and back in, the menu item should be gone now.
    Now you can go and delete all apps manually, as well as anything Canon related from all Libraries, or get the free "AppCleaner" and drag and drop each app onto it - what's eventually left you can live with.

    I have Windows XP SP3 installed on my Macbook Pro. When I installed Windows originally it failed to completely install BootCamp drivers, so I don't have advanced trackpad and keyboard features. I've downloaded the latest BootCamp drivers v3.2 that still run XP, but I always get a message saying that "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installin this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753." I don't have anything in C:/Program Files/Bootcamp (It doesn't exist), and the Bootcamp icon in Control Panel doesn't work.
    I can't install, remove, or repair the drivers, not even using the software that came with my Mac OS X install DVD. On the Mac side, I'm running Snow Leopard. I've searched Google for help and couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any ideas? I've already gone through the registry and removed a bunch of Apple-related stuff, but it didn't help.
    Thanks! Shayne

    At last I got it all to work. I had to go into the registry and delete all references to Apple software and drivers. Some of the entries were locked, and I had to change permissions to allow me to delete them, which was probably the reason the installer kept failing. I finally got Boot Camp 3.0 installed off the Snow Leopard DVD and then upgraded to 3.2. I had a hickup with the trackpad drivers which didn't work, but I found a fix online -- the drivers labeled "TouchPad" were banged out, and I had to switch them to Generic USB Human Interface and then back to Apple TrackPad drivers, which fixed the problem. Now everything is working beautifully with multi-gesture touch pad and keyboard extensions. Yay!!!!!

  • Removing printer offsets from PDF pages

    I accidently set up a printer page offset when creating PDF pages from Word Perfect X3. Is there a way to remove the offset, or do I need to go back to the original WP pages (which I can't find!)?

    I recreated a page and made sure there were no offsets listed. The PDF page still prints offset. I found sources to recreate the page, displayed codes, and removed anything marked as offset. There is still an offset to the left when pre-print displaying either the source page or the PDF version.
