Running 10.6.8 cannot print to hp 4580 using textedit or openoffice

I'm trying to print from both MacBook Pro and MacBook running 10.6.8 to a HP DeskJet 4580 from both TextEdit and OpenOffice and it will not print. It will print Mail and a webpage. I could print from the MacBook using an earlier OS - Please Help!

No they don't see the printer at all.... We have one old iMac (eggshell) with oS 10.4 that prints fine to the Hp LaserJet 4 Plus... but neither of our newer imacs running Snow Leopard on one and Kion on the brand new one.. can see or print to the LaserJet. However both used to work fine with it (two weeks ago)
All are connected via Ethernet via Lynksys Router... I deleted all printer drivers from the System Libraries on both newer iamcs and reinstalled Hp Drivers 2.9 Manually via the .dmg file on Apple's Support Forums. Using Software Update wouldn't do it and said "there are no updates to be installed"
So I'm lost for a hypothesis on this.....other than buying a brand new printer with USB

Applescript to print a .doc file using TextEdit with print dialog.

I want to print a pdf file using TextEdit .
I want to display the print dialog before doing the print operation.
Can any one help me with apple scripts to perform this operation.
We tried to use this script; but when I click Cancel on print dialog. I am getting an error saying "TextEdit got an error: Apple Event Handler failed".
set printDoc to "Macintosh HD:Users:testuser:Testing:testprint.pdf"
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
open printDoc
print printDoc with print dialog
quit saving no
end tell
Can anyone help me to fix this issue ?

Clicking the cancel button in the print dialog is sending an error code back to the script. If you use a try statement you can handle it better. The script below will just ignore it. Or you could use an "on error" statement to do something else.
set printDoc to "Macintosh HD:Users:testuser:Testing:testprint.pdf"
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
open printDoc
try
print printDoc with print dialog
end try
quit saving no
end tell
Hope that helps. Though the plaintext of a pdf may be a little hard to read.

I cannot print from my iPad using airport express. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to airport express thru USB port. My laptop can print with no problem thru the express unit. My lap top is no a mac.

Good day, my iPad does not seem to pick up my printer. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to my airport express thru the USB port. My laptop which is windows type connects to the printer via airport express thru bonjour and this work well. My iPad does not pick up my printer thru the airport express. I have read about different software that you can download but this seems to be only if you are using a mac. I know my express is working fine as I can use airplay thru my iPad. Any ideas? I do not want to go to the expense of changing my printer, when there was no mention in the express details that your printer had to be AirPrint compatible or indeed wireless.

See this article to learn how to print from an iPad to your USB printer when you have a PC. The PC will need to be running when you want to print from the iPad.

Cannot print from MS Office using Canon MP600

I recently upgraded from a Powerbook to an iMac. The normal Apple migration tool worked wonders and everything was working fine.
Last week I was no longer able to print from MS Office. I try out demo's etc. so I'm wondering if something got broken. I've uninstalled as much as I can think of but still no luck. I tried uninstalling Office and the print drivers and then reinstalling everything over again - that didn't work.
Word gives the following error message:
Word cannot print due to a problem with the current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings.
When I look in the console I see the following errors:
2007-02-17 11:37:18.941 Microsoft Word[309] CFLog (21): dyld returns 2 when trying to load /System/Library/Printers/CVs/Converter.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Converter

Anyone have any idea what I've messed up? Any thoughts on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Looks like I solved this. Unfortunately I don't know why it started doing this.
I tried a number of things - uninstalling Office, reinstalling Office, uninstalling the print drivers, reinstalling the print drivers, removing all caches, etc., etc.
After doing some sniffing around on some other questions it seems like this is a problem with a number applications. The repeated solution mentioned reinstalling Mac OSX but to maintain and archive the user accounts on the computer. I did this based on the following link:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
After doing that I reinstalled the print drivers, completed the install of Office 2004 and everything worked. Doing the reinstall removed all my Haxies. I'm starting to think it had to do with that. I'll likely apply them one at a time and see which one breaks it.

My Macs cannot print two sides if using borther HL5370DW series

My Mac Desktop and Mac Laptop cannot print two sides of one paper when I use brother HL 5370DW. It started from last week. My PC cannot print two-sided paper by brother HL5370 DW, and my Mac can print two-sided paper if I use the HP printer on Mac. I highly suspect the problem is from the updates of Mac. Do you have the same or similar problem these days?
I have tried to re-install the brother printer driver, and it did not work.
Thank you!

Have a read of this post. These Brother owners found the same issue after a recent driver update and managed to resolve the problem.

I cannot print from a website using the "print" button nor going to "file" "print preview" (nothing there to preview) then "'print" - nothing prints.

I cannot print from any wetsite as there is no print button. I have tried using the printer icon, also file, print preview then print. Nothing to preview nothing printed. How do I print from a website?????

If this is similar to problems I sometimes have printing -- 1) Only happens on some, not all, websites 2) Printer preview window comes up OK, just shows a blank page -- I can suggest a work around, if not a solution: try turning your page into a PDF. Either install an extension which gives a "Save as...PDF" menu option, or a PDF printer driver (I use bullzip). The problem seems to be with the manner the websites use frames and/or javascript. This work around also handles websites that can't get along with your printer settings and chop off edges.

Cannot print direct from Android using wireless direct

I can pring from my HTC ONE using the HP ePrint App.
However I cannot print using "Wireless Direct" mode.
I have set it up,
The printer appears on the wifi lists.
I connect to it
I select a doc, select print, I search for a printer and nothing.
Please help

I tried using the iPad and that works fine.
Tried using HTC One, no luck

Void the check but cannot print another check by using the same check no.

Dear All,
Our customer need to print the check on number #10.
However, we already print a check by using #10.
Then I void that check and go to house bank and change the 'Next Check No.' to 10.
But the system still print the check on number #11
Please help. Thanks a lot.
The other question is, when I take a look their database, I cannot find check #9. But if I would like to print check#9, the system said it is already in the database. Why? Thanks
Regards.
Yuka
Edited by: Jie Jin on Jul 31, 2009 11:06 PM

We test printing check on their production database
So check A printed on check #10 check b#11 check #12 printed on the blank paper.
Then they said they would like to print the real check from number #10. But the system will not allow us to do that. It ask us start from #13.
So, they decide to write the check manually for check #10, check #11, check #12. Then they will have 3 checks in the system they didn't print it. And next time, they can start from #13.
The problem is, for the 3 checks they write manually, the system didn't print it. So, every time, they are showing on 'to be printed' list (actually our customer write it manually). What should we do to block those 3 checks if they don't want to void it? Thanks.

I cannot print from firefox must use IE to print

I have had numerous issues trying to print invoices from eBay or our own site using Firefox. I stayed with older versions to continue using Google Toolbar but surrendered to the latest version of Firefox last week. It was great until today. Now again I lost my print ability and will now have to go to IE to run print jobs. This sucks! In addition let me ask you why you cannot copy and paste text or images using Firefox. I have to use IE for all of that to.

Thanks so much for your response.
Not the shortcuts made to local folders, and SOME of the shortcuts work now.....Yahoo messenger works, Google Earth works, but that is about it. Basically any shortcut that goes to a website "tries" to come up, but only the "frame outline" of the page starts, then you have to end task to get that removed. I have tried making new shortcuts but they do the same thing, which makes me think something is "leftover" from Mozilla Firefox uninstall. I have removed the Installation folder, also searched for the prefetch files, just as the help section recommended. Uninstall was done thru control panel, and I even used a third part uninstall (crap cleaner) to try again...I have checked, and Firefox is no longer listed as the default browser.....IE is.....I would just like to have the IE shortcuts work now...
Thanks again,
Donvon....

Help!! Cannot print to Epson 4900 using PS-CS4 on Mac 10.8.4?

My new MacBookPro using Photoshop CS4 prints just fine to my Epson 2400 and 1900 however when using my new 4900 I click "print" and the printer icon bounces once in the dock and then disappears. The printer then gyrates and makes noise but puts out no image. I can print documents and images from Preview and Pages and the web on the 4900 so I know the printer can print. I have reloaded CS4 several times from my disc and the Epson driver several times to no avail. The Epson tech guy says what appears obvious, that the printer is working fine but that PS cannot communicate with the 4900. Has any one had this experience and were you able to solve the problem?

You're having a problem with the printer driver.
Deleting and reinstalling the printer in the OS controls may help.
Otherwise you need to contact Epson.
Photoshop does not communicate with the printer, ever.
The driver code communicate with the printer.
Photoshop communicates with the OS, and the OS communicates with the driver.
And you're having a problem with the driver.

No one else is on the system at this time.
How can I find who could be accessing this checking account?

Cannot print out correct colors using Mac and Epson Artisan 1430

I recently switched from using Illustrator on my PC to using Illustrator on my IMAC. My display on the PC and the display on the IMAC show the graphics in the exact same colors. When I print a graphic from my PC in Illustrator on my Epson printer it is identical to the display on my PC. When I print the same graphic from my IMAC on my Epson printer, the color is not the same - it is a bit off. I have tried everything - what should I do?

Just checking, was this the driver you downloaded?

MacBook will not recognize wireless printer. Can print from IOS devices

If you haven't already, I would recommend that you download and install the very latest OS X drivers for this printer from the manufacturer's support site.

Adobe Reader v 11.0.10 cannot print PDF files

Hello,
My Adobe Reader v11.0.10 running on Windows 8 Pro with Media Center cannot print anymore.
I used to be able to print from Adobe Reader before.
I still can print to all printers using other applications – Word, Excel, Notepad.
I can print a test page on any of my printers without any problems.
I can print PDF files using other PDF viewers (like Foxit reader), but I can’t print from Adobe Reader.
There is no error message on the screen and there is no any error message in the log files.
If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once.
But any consecutive attempt to print will fail!
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Thank you!

Hello,
I go to File --> Print menu.
As I always do.
It used to work before.
I haven't tried "Print as image" option, but I'll try it and post the result!
I will try also unchecking 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' option under Edit> Preferences> Security (Enhanced)
As I mentioned in my previous post I tried re-installing Adobe Reader - but no luck :
"If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once."
I think that the issue is not the particular file - it has something to do with Adobe Reader itself. Maybe it is corrupted????
I'll try again tomorrow and I'll post the result!
Thank you for your reply!

Cannot print a pdf file when the pdf file is opened in another window

Running FF8.0 I cannot print a pdf file when the file is contained in a separate window opened by the appl (not just another tab). Options -> options -> applications all point to Use Adobe Applications in Firefox. I've had this problem in 7.0, 6.0, etc but I believe I was finally able to print these external browser/adobe windows somehow. Printing a pdf file shouldn't be that tough. When I run into this situation, file can be printed from the external window by IE.

Check the document properties (Security) for this file in Adobe Reader; perhaps printing is not allowed?
