Serious printing problem - HP Photosmart 7350 / Mac OS 10.6.6

Hello to all helpers!
Recently, I encountered a serious problem with my printer, an HP Photosmart 7350. This printer has always worked with my setup over an Airport Express network. However, it suddenly stopped working mid-job last weekend after updating to Mac OS 10.6.6, and I have not found any solutions. The printer has power, plenty of ink and paper, and appears to be connected to the computer, but when a job is sent to it, it tries to initiate printing but it doesn't, and after a few minutes the printer queue pauses itself. The printer will print a test page from itself, but it will not print one sent from the computer.
I've tried many conventional solutions, including:
-deleting the original job and resending it to the printer
-restarting the printer
-restarting the computer
-unplugging the USB cable and power cable and plugging them back in
-replacing the USB cable with a different one
-connecting the printer directly to the computer instead of the Airport Express
-removing and reinstalling the printer driver (Gutenprint 5.2.3)
-repairing disk permissions
-resetting the print system and reinstalling the printer driver
I am completely confused about what happened, but I'm guessing it is an incompatibility issue related to the OS update. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So I have tried the foregoing suggestions and reinstalled with Gutenprint 5.2.6, but I still have the same errors popping up in console, suggesting incompatibility.
Is there any hope for this printer anymore or am I going to Office Depot later today?

Very Serious Print Problem

Hi,
I had made a report having CardLayout as its Layout Manager.This report spans multiple pages(i.e. cards).I had problem with this setup e.g. It used to miss some records on each cards + It used to give wrong totals.So I combined all records of all cards into one single card.This way it does not skip the records and also gives totals correctly.
But it has lead to another problem and that is:
In the previous setup of multiple cards there was no printing problem as I used to print each card i.e each page.
But with this modified setup i.e. all records into one card Iam finding it difficult to print as the contents of the report are very vast that it spans vast area both vertically as well as horizontly and so I don't get the info on paper as it gets cut,as the content of the report is very vast.and the content is related that is I cannot affored to either miss on the Horizontal wise cut and neither the vertical wise cut in print.
IAM IN SERIOUS PROBLEM.
PLEASE HELP ME.
IT IS VERY URGENT.
THANKS.

Yes every time I open the app it makes me accept the EULA or else it won't work as a reader. That's not the problem. The problem is not being able to print or download the pdf file from the browser after I accept the EULA. Any other suggestions?

Printing problem (HP PhotoSmart 7345)

Hi!
Another happy switcher over here, since about one week I have my brand new PowerBook G4. Now I have only one problem left, I have still a WinXP Home desktop pc with a HP PhotoSmart 7345 connected through USB. I always used it as a shared printer so I could print all through the house to this printer. But now I moved to Mac OS X, I can't setup this printer using Windows Printing. This model seems not to be supported by Mac OS X Windows Printing. Which printermodel can I use, I already tried the DeskJet 955C, I could print, but the proces took like 2min for one bw document.
Anybody who has a solution?

I finally got it working (by accident)!!!
What I've done:
* Reinstalled HPIJS
* Installed ESP Ghostscript
First directly connected to the printer, as soon as I got this working, I disconnected it and connected to the WinXP machine again.
I added a printer on the following way:
* Printer Utility -> Add printer
* OPTION + More printers
* Select Advanced -> Windows-printer through SAMBA
* Device URL as: smb://username:password@WORKGROUP/XPMACHINE/PRINTER
* Select the Foomatic driver of the HP PhotoSmart 7345
Extra information:
Device URL:
- username & password: your account on the XP machine
- workgroup: workgroup where the XP machine is findable
- xpmachine: networkname of the XP machine
- printer: networkname of the printer
NOTE: username & password are case-sensitive and the rest should be capitals

Printing problems with my newest Mac: can't connect to networked LaserJet

I have several Macs printing to an HP LaserJet 4000TN on my LAN. All but one work fine. Even the Windows machine works. The bad actor is a new MacBook Pro.
When I try to set the printer up (using the HP JetDirect IP connection), for some reason it can't figure out which driver to use—I have to manually select it. And very often it refuses to print, saying that it can't connect to the printer. Power cycling the printer fixes it temporarily (printer is set in Energy Saver mode but wakes up fine for other machines).
All my other Macs (all using latest Snow Leopard) work fine. What's the problem?

Error Message: "Unable to Connect to Printer, will try again in 30 seconds...
I have the same problem. It just started a few days ago. Prior to that, it was printing fine. I recently did an Apple Software update, so I'm guessing that's where the problem originated from.
I have a Brother Multifunction that's setup on my WLAN.
I got the message after attempting to:
Factory reset the printer and setting up WLAN again
Uninstalling all Brother Printer and Scanner Drivers and Reinstalling
Switching to WiredLAN to print
Same Error Message Each Time
Two days ago, I also installed a new print cartridge. When I saw the levels a day later, it looked like it was half used - No Way!
There is obviously a miscommunication between ink/toner level and new cartridges and the Apple Drivers for WLAN.
To my knowledge, there is no fix at this time and Apple needs to resolve this high priority.
What I don't get is why won't the wired config for the printer work either?
Last fix attempt: Take out all cartridges and reinstall. No Juice!
My Findings: The Latest Apple Software Update will screw up the communication between your Mac and print drivers.
Solution: It's all On Apple to fix this ASAP!

Printing Problem HP PhotoSmart 7960

Love my printer but recently it is not printing everything. I have missing text. Example: First line of a paragraph prints, skips next 4 or 5 lines, then prints a line, skips a line, prints a line, etc., and missing some letters throughout (mostly the letter 'l' (L)). Problem seems to be with text; graphics are ok. What prints looks excellent. Any ideas what could cause this? I've tried everything, including updating drivers, etc. Help is appreciated!

Printing problem HP Photosmart B210a

Hello,
I have a major problem with my brand new HP printer. Hopefully someone will help me out. I have installed my new printer and I am unable to print wirelessly. I have done all possible resets, my Mac is updated I have latest drivers from HP. Whenever I install printer it works about 5 minutes, then it goes offline and my mac is unable to locate printer. However as a IP printer it works OK. I have router TP link. Anybody can let me know what to do ?

Maybe someone as desperate as I was can benefit from my story:
Printing from the iPad to the B210a printer worked only a few times and after that I couldn't get it to work anymore.
I did everything I though could help like:
- reset the modem/router
- switched printer, router, iPad off and on
- removed the usb connection to the printer and even removed the usb printer from my PC
- switched the radio off and on
The printer worked fine from the PC but all this work had no effect on getting the iPad to print until.......
I ran the wireless setup wizard on the B210a printer again.
Nothing in the visible settings in the router seems to be changed but now it works again.

Printing problem with Photosmart 5514!!

Printing problems using Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

Hi,
I'm having trouble using Illustrator CS6. I just bought an HP LaserJet CP1025nw color printer. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I've printed two different format files (.ai and .png) in Illustrator, but there are white lines (without printing) ocurring in the exact same place on both documents, this only happens in Illustrator, not Photoshop or any other software. I did a test using exactly the same .png file in many applications, except for Illustrator, the file is printed perfectly.
I asked HP for help, but they say this is a problem caused by Illustrator CS6 and they can't do anything about it.
What can I do to solve this problem? Could you please help me?
I've already installed the latest update of this software.
Thanks in advance.

hong,
You need to ClickDrag just a tiny bit, then apply the Shift Option Command.

Printing problems with Photosmart D110a

My Photosmart D110a (operating system Vista) prints half a page when printing a document from a web page. If I am printing more than one page , it will print about 1/4 of the final page. Seems to have problems with PDF files.

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same problem with the same printer.

Wireless Printing Problems - HP Photosmart Premium Web C309n

I hoping someone can help me with some printing issues I am currently having with my C309n.
When trying to print via my web browser (Firefox 3.5.7), the printer stalls while trying to respond, and when it does begin to print, it moves incredibly slow. I had the same problem when I first set up the machine when trying to print photos, but that issue seems to have resolved itself (I did nothing in particular; one day it just worked). I have no problem printing from programs such as Word, PowerPoint, etc.
The web printing issue still remains and I was hoping that someone could confirm that I have used the optimal wireless/set up settings before I start changing things in an attempt to solve my current problem. Also, of course, if anyone is aware of a quick fix for my printing issue, I would appreciate it.
Printer: HP Photosmart Premium Web - C309n
Computer OS: Windows 7 x64 Professional
Anti-Virus: Norton 360 Premier
Connection: Wireless
Type: Automatic DHCP
Port: 9100
Router: Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router (WRT310N)
Firmware: v1.001
Settings of Router are as follows:
- Network Mode: Mixed (a, b, g, n)
- Security: WPA2 Personal
- Encryption: AES
- Radio Band/Wide Channel/Standard Channel: Auto
Also, I apologize if I provided too much info; just wanted to make sure I covered everything. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm also having slow print issues on the HP Photosmart Prem-Web C309n-s.
The issue happens in multiple applications, such as printing a photo from HP Photosmart Essentials 3.5, printing an email from Internet Explorer 8, etc. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit with Service Pack 2.
Also, noteable is that it happens on 2 PCs. Same model purchased at the same time. The issue seems intermittant and it seems to affect my wife's PC more than mine. It may just be that she prints more???
I did not think it was a networking issue, but both my PC and printer are wireless. I will direct my PC and see if the issue goes away.
My wife prints all her own photos and scrapbooks. She is extremely frustrated and wants it out of the house. I'm going to contact HP Support tonight. If they cannot fix it in a reasonable time, I'm going to try and return it.
It also seems to rip through XL ink cartridges faster than any HP printer we have had.
Best regards.

Blasted printer problems - HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One

Bought a spanking new HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One and installed the drivers. When running the HP Setup Assistant it had a blank list to select from.
I came across this tip from macosxhints.com
"If your system drive was set up with a case-sensitive HFS file system, HP's All-in-One installer will fail when it gets to the HP Setup Assistant -- it will ask you to "Select Device" and give you an empty list. To get the installer to work, you have to install it on a case-insensitive file system. I've confirmed this with version 7.9.1 of the PhotoSmart C6100 series and version 7.9 of the Officejet 7310 series drivers.
The solution? The only one I've found is to re-format and install on a file system that is not case sensitive. After hearing back from HP's tech support, they confirmed the problem and the solution:
Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
The software for the Photosmart C6180 is not supported on a case sensitive partition. You will have to install the drivers on a case-insensitive partition.
I only wish they had mentioned that anywhere in the online troubleshooting section. Sigh." http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070623004646642
Can someone point me in the direction of:
"Setting up a case-insensitive partition"
thanks!

Printing problems for photosmart 7520

I do not have my printer set up as wireless, because I do not have the equipment (router or modem or whatever it might be called) It is plugged into the back of my tower. I assume that means it is not set up as wireless. I only have one computer, no laptops or anything else.
I am not computer literate, I read several other questions and couldn't quite find my exact problem. I have no idea how to find an IP address either.
The printer used to work fine. The blue light always flashed - I assume because I don't have the wireless equipment
the power button next to that is a white color, doesn't change when I press it or when I unplug the cord from the tower.
UNABLE TO COMUNICATE OR FIND NETWORK PRINTER is the message I get. Can you have a network printer with only 1 computer in the house?
The touch screen is black and does not come on.
Windows 7 64 bit operating system
Not sure exactly what this is off back of printer: FPU CZ045-64004
I tried to install updated software, it didn't make any difference.
I installed the HP doctor thing - would not print test page, think I had to choose network or wireless and I don't think either of those apply.
The only thing that I think might have something to do with my problem is I installed a free AVG PC Tune up.
Any help would be appreciated. I am losing my patience, been at this for 4 hours now.

Hi Christina-D,
I understand that you are having an issue printing with you 7520. I would like to assist with this issue but I do need to clarify a couple of things first so that we are able to narrow down the issue.
First is the printer plugged directly to a wall outlet? If not please plug the printer direct to the wall outlet, so that the printer is getting the right amount of power to work properly.
Second the touch screen on the printer is this black or are you able to see the different icons when the printer is turned on?
Third to test the functionality of the printer, could please print a self test report from the printer itself. I have included a document Printing a Self Test From the 7520
Please let me know the answer to these questions. Thank you.
I worked on behalf of HP

Color printing problems with CS5 on Mac 10.6.5

I really need some help. I installed CS5 several weeks ago on a new MacPro tower. I have used an Epson 3800 pro printer for many years with my Mac G5 and CS3 with no issues at all. Now, the color is completely off. I have kept the same settings, updated the driver and all software. When I print from photoshop the colors are perfect. When I print from InDesign or Acrobat in pdf form, the colors are all wrong; not saturated enough, too light, too dark, just wrong. I have been printing just fine for years, but since the new computer and upgrade, everything is totally off. Does anybody have any ideas? I would be so grateful.
Thank you,
sharon

It may also be a Mac thing. I have some recollection that for a period of time Macs were introducing the monitor profile (which they shouldn't have) into the color management equation when printing from ID, and that has changed, either with CS5 or Snow Leopard. I'm sorry I don't recall the gory details -- I'm on Windows and thus never had to deal with it -- but there should be some discussion here on the forum if you search.

Printer problem after upgrading the Mac HD disk

After replacing the Mac HD on my Mac Pro, and copying all the "old" data from the "old" Mac HD using Migration Assistance, I cannot print. Getting "communication error". Re-installing drivers does not help. The printer is a Canon MF4350d connected over USB. Is there files somewhere (USB drivers?) that may affect this issue. Or can how can I delete all (Canon) printer drivers and make a clean install?

First, make a backup of all your data or you entire system. Then you will follow the instructions in the link below to erase the Yosemite volume and reinstall Yosemite from scratch. After assuring it is working properly you can restore your third-party software from original media. Be sure the software is compatible with Yosemite. Finally, restore your data from your backup.
Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
