Ricoh (NRG) printer wont be installed

Our Nashuatec 424 prints nice from OS X after help from Greg Sahlii and when installed PPDs from linuxprinting and Ghostscript and foomatic-RIP. But one powerbok is not printing. I have done reinstall of both Ghostscript, foomatic and put the PPD in the same folder as with the other macs. After connecting to the printer with LPD. Adress= 10.0.0.4 (which is correct) Que=«print»
the error message is:
An error occured when trying to add the printer:
«server - error - service -unavailable»
The settings are the same as other OS X machines.
Apart from reinstalling everything on this powerbook. Any Ideas what to do the get this macine printing? I have connection to the printer and I can open the webinterface.
powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 gig RAM

This error means CUPS isn't running when it should be. This should help:

Can't print or properly install drivers for Ricoh Aficio MP C6000

Hi all,
I work in a Windows environment and I'm trying to get my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.4) connected to the color copier/printer here. The model is a Ricoh Aficio MP C6000. I was able to download the PS drivers off the Ricoh website but when I install them and try to print, I get this message in the print queue:
"The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance."
Any idea what's going wrong? The image of the printer doesn't match the actual printer which usually throws me off and indicates it's the wrong model installed. As an aside, I am able to print with this printer just fine through Parallells via Windows XP. Has anyone got this model working, and if so, specifically what drivers did you use? I'm at a loss here.
Thanks!

I am not able to find the OS X 10.6 drivers on the Ricoh web site. You most likely installed the drivers for a previous version of OS X that will not function properly in OSS X 10.6.
I would suggest that you delete your printer. Then delete the following items that you most likely have installed:
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/ricohJobLogC.plugin
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources RICOH Aficio MP C6000
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources RICOH Aficio MP C7500
/Library/Printers/RICOH (the entire folder)
The next thing you should do is to determine what printer languages your Ricoh supports. Your IT person should be able to tell you. Alternatively, you can have the printer print out a configuration sheet from the printer control panel.
If the printer does have a PostScript module installed, then download the OS X 10.6 Ricoh drivers from _http://support.apple.com/kb/DL902_.
If the printer does not have the PostScript module installed, it should be able to use a PCL 6/PCL PXL driver. In this case, use the Mac OS X packages for the pxlmono driver. These can be found at _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o_. Be sure you also install Foomatic-RIP and Ghostscript.

Many posts give minimal information but I think you probably should receive the grand prize.. least info ever delivered in a post.
From your post I know that you installed a time capsule. I have no idea how or to what.
That your printer.. type model connection all unknown now does not work..
Sorry but the crystal ball is totalled and the other black arts of which wireless is perhaps one, is off-limits.
Minimum info needed.
What printer?
Connected how?
Is it still available on the network? Can you ping it?
Just the facts please.

Can't print online after installing IE9, HP Deskjet 1050 print scan copy

A week ago or so I installed IE9, had IE7 and it just was not working with allot of web pages so I updated to IE9.
I sell on ebay and I went to make a printing label thru ebays site and I keep getting this error message.
an error has occured in the scrip on this page
line:       2072
Char:    1
error:     class doesn't support automation
code:     0
URL:       res://ieframe.dll/preview.js
Do you want to continue running this script
yes/no
I have just spent 5 hrs online trying to solve this problem. Read many helps/tips and none worked.
Here is just a little of what I have did and nothing worked.
1. uninstalled/installed printer
2. Installed updated software for printer(unpluged printer USB before uninstall/install)
3. Found online that HP printers don't work with IE9, info said to dnlded HP Smart Print 2.1(didn't help after reboot)(also HP web printing was not located in my Added programs, it said to uninstall that first)
4. Had no idea if I had "bing bar" so I found an dnld for Bing Bar.(didn't help after reboot)Bing Bar was also not found on added programs in control panel
5. Uninstalled and installed software for printer again, rebooted and still will not print online.
6. I do have the little HP Smart Print icon on the command toolbar but when ever I clicked on it, it never did nothing.
I am about ready to uninstall IE9. I hate to go back to IE7 but I heard IE8 is junk. Thats why I never installed it.
I have to get it working, I have shipping labels to print.
NOTE: Yes I have spent 6 hrs researching HP's forums, Microsoft forums, and many other forums and nothing works.
P.S. After installing HP Smart Print 2.1 and Bing Bar I did check Manage Addons to make sure they was enabled, they both are.

I have no problem printing anything offline like notebook pages, etc. can't print any online page.
IE9 and HP printers stink as on this past week. I have used HP printers for approx 15 yrs and NEVER had a problem like this before. I will never have a problem like this again, as soon as I buy a replacement NON- HP printer.
I have wasted at least 5 days online researching a fix and I finally found how to get the bing bar so show. In this link http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_vista/bing-bar-wont-display/52f87a48-ef7d-e0..., the guy says check "Enable third-party browser extensions" on Adv. tab in internet options. When I did that the bing bar showed. But doing that puts my PC as more risk.
I also dnlded HP Smart Print and click activate on this page http://h41112.www4.hp.com/smartprint/emea_africa/en/smart.html
THen I dnlded the lasted driver for my HP 1050.....
And it still does not print online pages, let alone my ebay S&H labels. I get error messages. If you want to see those error messages go to this ebay forum link http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Seller-Central/Cant-Print-Online/5200152280?start=24, look for post #31 and all the info is there including photos of the error messages..
YOu don't need a ebay acccount to read the post.
I have had it with this whole mess. Like I said I will be getting a new printer(and it won't be HP either).

Canon printer wont print PDF and Word files... sometimes.

I face a very special problem with my iMac and my Canon printer (Pixma MG5350): Since a few weeks, the printer wont print most PDF files correctly, the same with existing Word files. A blank or blurred sheet is coming out of the machine. But: When I create a brand new Word file and fill it with text, the printer prints it clean and neat. The same with the official Canon test prints – no troubles at all. I have also tried to sort out the problem with the help from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147?viewlocale=de_DE, without success. Glad about every help!

My next suggestion would be to try an alternate driver to the Canon.
There is the Gutenprint v5.2.9 suite which is free and lists the MG5300 series as a supported model. You could download and install this driver suite and add the Gutenprint MG5300 driver and see if this gives you the same problem.

Ricoh CL4000DN printer driver for Snow Leopard

Has anyone discovered a driver or workaround for a networked Ricoh CL4000DN printer for Snow Leopard? This printer isn't listed in Apple's printer driver list but I downloaded and installed the Ricoh drivers anyway. Didn't help. I submitted a question to Ricoh but no answer yet.

We found the 10.5 drivers work fine:

I am using Mac 10.4.11 and I am having a problem when my printer wont print what I tell it too. Please Help!

A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan

Printer wont show up when plugged into timecapsule, and backups in pink wont restore?

i recently purchased a TC and my printer wont show up on the network when plugged into the usb port? i also cannot restore anything from backups in pink? any solutions

When you open Print & Fax to add the HP device, are you then clicking on it to highlight it, then clicking Add at the lower right to install the device?
When you do this, you will have the HP device installed in two "locations"....one at the Mac and the other at the TC. When you try to print, you have to be sure to choose the correct location.
The PCs will need to have Bonjour for Windows installed on each device. Run the program, and select the HP device. Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
Keep in mind that only the print function will work on most All-in-One type devices when connected to the USB port on a router. You need to connect to a computer if you need advanced features like copy, scan, maintentenance, etc.

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

HP 1510 all in one printer will not install

I have just purchased a new 1510 all in one printer.
I have installed the printer software from the CD supplied.
However when I try to run the printer HP assitant comes on with run time error.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer many times but with the same result

Hello @aka6812 ,
Thanks a lot for the question, now lets get you an answer!
I see you are experiencing a "run time error" when trying to run your printer assistant after installing the HP 1510 software drivers.
Here is a description of what a run time error is. Microsoft Run Time Error
This might be because you have an outdated operating system, anti-virus blocking etc. Please take some time to follow the 3 step procedure to see if that fixes the issue.
Here is also a separate way to download the drivers from the web instead of a disk. Just click the appropriate link - Install / Uninstall software & drivers
Let me know what goes on! Look forward to hearing back from you!

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro Printer will not install

Hello All,
I have a new PC - Win 7 Pro x64 - and installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro. The printer refuses to install. Gives error:
Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port and Printer. The Adobe PDF Printer may be unavailable. GetLastError: The operation completed successfully.
I tried the Detect and Repair under Help, and I get the same error.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think that will be your solution. The printer driver is not compatible with newer systems, especially 64-bit ones.

Acrobat 7 pdf printer won't install

Finally managed to get CS2 installed on a new Vista machine after old pc died, and apps appear to work. Acrobat 7 launches with no issues. However if I try to create a PDF from Word, it tells me the pdf printer isn't installed (and its not listed in printers). If I try to open the word file in acrobat, it tells me it can't find the adobe resources.
Any idea what the problem is? CS2 wouldn't install to the /Programs (x86) folder - installed to a new folder called /Programs x86.
Any help would be appreciated.
George

If you upgraded to VISTA X64, you also likely upgraded OFFICE also to OFFICE 2007. Both VISTA and OFFICE 2007 require AA8.1.2 I think (Vista had problems with earlier AA8 versions). Thus, AA7 is an issue that you are lucky if you get it to work in those environments. Actually it would be nice if MS would quit messing up their OS so that other software has to be upgraded. Adobe works at a rather low level of the system and getting all the bugs out when trying to follow MS specifications is apparently a real pain (think MS makes their specs kind of crazy on purpose - and folks often need to complain to MS rather than the software vendors). You might have heard that MS had to add their help system back in after the fact (they had purposely removed it from VISTA) since their own OFFICE products used the help system. Apparently a lot of companies also complained about Netmeeting that originally was dropped from VISTA and a new version was added that is VISTA compatible. Bill

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.
