Snow Leopard Breaks Bonjour Printing (HP Color Laserjet)

Hi,
I have a MacBook (newly reformatted) with the newest version of print drivers from HP's website, connected to a HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi, with print sharing enabled and "share this printer over the network checked". It used to work well for Bonjour printing from all my other leopard macs in my house, before I updated to Snow Leopard.
All of the computers I mention here are fully updated.
On the other computers....
The printer shows up in add a printer under Bonjour, but it takes a long time to find the driver. I have tried printing using the "Generic PostScript Printer" driver as well as the HP Color Laserjet cm1312MFP driver, but both get stuck at "Connecting to Printer". After a few minutes of this they peter out and just mark the job as completed.
This is all while the printer is awake and the host computer is awake.
Another computer, without the HP Printer solution software installed, but that still comes up with the HP Color Laserjet cm1312 MFP drivers, will say "Connected to printer" then automatically mark the job as on hold. No matter how many times I reset the print queue, on this computer nothing works.
These computers are all running 10.6.
I can print directly from the computer that is hosting the bonjour printer without any problems.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Josh

Josh,
First, let me make sure my assumptions are correct. The printer is USB connected to the Mac that has printer sharing turned on, and the other Macs find the shared printer via Bonjour. All the Macs are running Snow Leopard. The computer with the printer connected via USB prints just fine. All of the other computers don't work.
So, let me ask this. If you open up the Sharing System Preference, and select Printer Sharing, Printer Sharing is turned on, the printer you want to share is listed in the list with a checkmark next to it, and the Users is setup so Everyone Can Print. Also when you open up the Print & Fax System Preference and click on your printer, the "Share this printer on the network" checkbox is on as well.
Next make sure that all the computer are running the HP Drivers version 2.2 from Apple Software Update (or downloaded from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907]).
If all of this is true, let me ask if you connect the device to Ethernet (if possible at least temporarily) if all of the computers can find and print to the CM1312? This might help narrow things down.
Just trying to help.

  • Problems with printing( hp Color LaserJet)

    Printer HP Color LaserJet 1500L under Mac OS 10.4.2 Tiger refuses to work normally. It prints 1 or sometimes 2 sheets of paper and then it stops working. All other tasks just move from the active category into completed one without any printing. Printer's indicator starts to wink but then it stops and nothing more happens. The next printing begins only after switching the printer off and on or after restarting operation system. After this it prints 1 or 2 pages and everything begins again. We tryed to use standart drivers which were attached to the printer and the drivers which we downloaded from the HP official site. There is no difference. We tryed to connect the printer to another Macintosh computer under Mas OS X 10.4.2 but the problems didn't disappear. Also we tryed to change USB cable between the printer and the computer. It also didn't matter. Before it the printer worked under Windows XP normally without any problems.

    Same printer, similar problems. I get stopped jobs that refuse to print even after I hit the start printing button. There is a message on this site tackling this issue for an Epson printer. Haven’t tried it out yet myself.

  • Printing by Bonjour to HP Color LaserJet 3550n

    I have several Mac users who want to print to the networked CLJ3550n provided by their department. Although the CLJ3550n has a static IP number as do the Mac's, it seems to be accessible only by Bonjour. Once a Bonjour printer for it has been created, it is non-functional. Print jobs can be sent to it, but nothing is printed. Eventually, the printer is stopped. In localhost:631/printers, it appears to be printing to /dev/null. Is there any way around Bonjour? My work environment is one of DHCP for laptops and static IP numbers for everything else, but I have no way to stop people from buying low-functionality printers like this solely on the basis of price when they could have bought a CLJ4700 with minimal resulting support costs.

    The IPP printing did not work. When I entered the IP address, I was presented with a choice of drivers. The default postscript driver did not work; The first page of the printout from the test page at localhost:631/printers had the classic stairstep of text with LF's but no CR and then many blank pages. The closest model to the CLJ3550 under the HP printers was the CLJ3700 which seems to be the same mechanically but possibly with postscript. This also gave the the stairstep page.

  • Installed snow leopard and now all red colors look rusty orange.

    All I did was install snow leopard on my mac pro and now all reds will shift to orange on one display and pink on my other. I've been using the exact same setup with just leopard and didn't have this problem so I am assuming it has definitely something to do with snow leopard. Anyone else have this problem? I've calibrated to the best of my abilities but it's still present. I can actually still see reds on say, a thumnail, but as soon as I enlarge the picture it will change color. I've looked on forums and have not found a solution.
    Thanks!

  • Computers on Leopard will not print in color with Okidata C7350 printer

    Does anyone know if there is a solution to printing in color using the Okidata C7350 with Macs on Leopard? Our school has 60 MacBooks running 10.5.9 and several iMacs running 10.6.2. When printing color pictures to the Okidata C7350, we can only print in black and white. Previous Operating Systems still print in color.

    I didn't see it mentioned yet: you may want to check if the new drivers have a setting to "restrict color". I haven't used that model of printer, but on most other color printers I've used, there's a setting for "disable color" or "grayscale only". For example, on my HP Color Laserjet 4005:
    [http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z242/asatoran/HPRestrictColor.jpg|http://i19 0.photobucket.com/albums/z242/asatoran/HPRestrictColor.jpg]
    This is sometimes a setting "per computer" and not necessarily "per printer". The default on the new drivers may have been changed to B&W only by Okidata for some reason.
    Just a suggestion, anyway.

  • Soundbooth CS4 on Mac Snow Leopard breaks MS RDC Sound.

    After upgrading from Trial to Full version the Soundbooth software installs additional codecs and breaks sound playback from Microsoft Remote Desktop Control application.
    After updating the sound from RDC plays with a choppy echo sound after each noise that the remote desktop machine makes.
    To resolve this I had to get rid of the following files.
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist
    /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
    Uninstalling Soundbooth and using the uninstall additional codecs in Application/Utilities does not clean up these files.
    The contents of /Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist is
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">

                    <string>com.adobe.medialayer.coreaudiohost:Soundbooth 2.0</string>
            </array>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    The file com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist makes references to:
    <key>com.adobe.medialayer.coreaudiohost:Soundbooth 2.0</key>
    <dict>
    <key>controls</key>
    <array/>
    </dict>
    It could be that all that needs to be done is clean up the references and remove the com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist file.  I find it rather strange that the Adobe uninstallers do not clean up their messes.
    I would be delighted if there was a work around to this problem.  This took a lot of time to figure out where the problem was in the system.  Well hope it helps someone at least if they come across this error as well, googling was no help.
    If anyone has a clean Mac OS X 10.6.2 install, could they attach these files to this thread so I know what is supposed to be here instead of this extra Adobe stuff?

    Like I said, it is hard to be certain.
    As far as I am aware, issues with Snow Leopard are specific to font anomalies in 10.6.7, and the fact that you cannot use the OS's printing system to produce PDFs via File > Print from Adobe applications. Do you have a link or citation for the issues you read online?
    So, reasons to suspect Adobe: running the Adobe installer triggered the problem; Adobe programs crash and they crash in Adobe code;
    Reasons to suspect Apple: it's not a single program crashing; the crashes don't seem to make sense; crashes happen for both CS4 and CS5; crashes affected non-Adobe programs (that is what you meant by "all my programs," right?).
    So, my intuition is you should try an OS reinstall.
    Though even if the root problem is the OS, Adobe probably has some blame here -- Adobe's programs should not crash. So you can certainly take it up with Adobe and hold firm to the line "your program should not crash; why is it crashing" and ultimately they should be able to tell you why (based on the crash report, and perhaps other things). But the answer may turn out to be, "because this Apple subsystem is broken. Fix it and our programs will stop crashing."
    Have you looked at the logs in Console.app? They might shed some additional light.
    Also, since you have recently reinstalled the OS, you are probably in a good position to reinstall the OS. Most people are reluctant to do so because they have a lot of data and applications, and it's a huge pain to preserve them. It sounds like you're not in that position, so doing that reinstall is relatively easy. I would therefore do it just for the peace of mind.

  • Snow Leopard and Canon Printer Drivers - significant unhelpful change

    Is there any work around for the following? I have a new mac book pro
    with snow leopard. Which means I downloaded the new Canon driver for
    Pixma 9500. And am now using Lightroom 3 rather than 2.
    An option that used to exist no longer exists. It used to be when I
    chose a paper profile (say Canon Premium Paper Pro) I could still
    manage color options in the driver. I could adjust slightly the reds
    or if it were black and white I could change the tone (warm tone/cool
    tone). Now, which I chose a paper profile, those options are "blanked out." I
    can't use them. Is this because of Snow Leopards CUPS functionality rather than the IJ.
    Given how many variables there are with printing and getting the right
    image, I really wish I had the option of adjusting my printer output even when I'm using a paper profile.
    The options exist if I let the printer manage the colors (as opposed to
    using the profiles) but the image is much farther off to begin with and
    requires much more experimenting. I have not reloaded Elements 6 and Canon Easy Print Pro. I wonder if it will let me fiddle with color options? Or Elements 9 with an updated Canon Easy Print Pro.
    I'm disappointed that I've lost this option by upgrading my hardware and software. I'd be grateful for any advice or feedback.

    I don't have Lightroom to confirm this but maybe the application is contributing to your issue.
    Looking at the menus of the v10.36.2.0 driver, which is the latest version of the Canon driver you would be using with the Pro 9500, there is the Quality & Media menu and the Color Options menu. Through the Q&M menu you can select the Canon paper types and then via the Color Options menu you can adjust the colors.
    But if you open the Color Matching menu and change the setting from Canon Color Matching to ColorSync and then select a paper type you then find that the sliders in Color Options are not available. Maybe Lightroom is set to use ColorSync and thus the adjustment in the Color Options menu is not available for you.

  • Snow Leopard won't print graphics in Word 2008

    When I updated to Snow Leopard and Office 2008, everything seemed to work perfectly, open, and run well. However, my .doc files previously created in Office X that include graphics from the draw program will print ONLY text and text boxes--no graphics. I get the same in compatibility mode (.doc), when I "save as" to DocX format, and when I try to save as a PDF--text floating in a sea of non-graphic white. I sent the file to my husband's computer running Leopard, and it prints perfectly. Similarly, if I open Word 2008 and create a fresh, native docx file with graphics, those graphics DO print. So this seems to be a Snow Leopard problem with compatibility Word files using graphic elements (nothing fancy--just flow chart stuff.) Any ideas anyone? I am a small educational publisher and do NOT relish the thought of redoing a boatload of work in another program. Help!

    As near as I can tell, the printer is not the problem. I have tried three different printers, all with the most up-to-date drivers, and even tried Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, which should bypass all of the above. The graphic elements that worked perfectly in my previous system simply disappear in Snow Leopard. My workaround is to send them to an "older" Mac NOT running Snow Leopard, then convert them to PDF files, then print from Snow Leopard, and all is well. Absolutely frosted! I have publishing deadlines to meet!

  • Cannot print to Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw

    I have a HP Color Laserjet MFP M177fw hard wired to my router. I can print from internet explorer, chrome and other applications such as Office and Notepad, etc. I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I can get to the print dialogue page and hit print but nothing comes out and I can't see any jobs stuck in the print queue. 
    I am using an HPtouch computer with Windows 8.1

    I have the same problem for my 177fw. It does connect to my desktop via wireless connection when I check the control panel, yet no printing job could be done and they just disappear in the queue list. Sorry to say that, Ms. Helen-Hua, but I don't think "trying to print as image" can help to solve the problem no matter what result it is. For most people I don't think they would accept a printer that cannot print a simple text document.
    Look forward to receiving working solution.
    PS. The wireless connection has absolutely no problem for my win 7 laptop and my desktop which is formerly win 7. The problem only happen when the computer is upgraded to win 8.1 and another brand-new win 8 desktop.

  • After upgrading to snow leopard my Epson printer drivers did not load and i get an error 'rasteroescpll failed'. I have tried reloading the driver to no effect. Can anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and at the end of the upgrade the printer drivers failed to load. I have since updated them myself (Epson BX305) but still get an eror message 'rasteroescpll failed'. can anyone help?
    I have an Imac previously running 5.8.0 and now running 6.3.0.
    thank you
    Hugh

    The current driver version is 8.67. 
    Delete you printer.
    Delete the folder /Library/Prnters/EPSON
    Delete the folder /Library/Caches/Epson
    Unplug your printer from your computer for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.  You should be prompted to download the new drivers.
    If all that fails, you can get the new drivers from Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398

  • Wireless Printing for Color Laserjet 2505dn

    I keep getting emails from HP regarding wireless printing.  So, I'm trying to find out if mine is compatible to do it. I have a Color Laserjet 2505dn printer.  I think it is too old and is not compatible but I was hoping someone can tell me for sure if there is possibly a way to do it.  I have a wireless router to my computer but can it reach my printer?
    Thanks

  • Why does IE 9 say internal error and cannot print to Color Laserjet 2600n?

    IE 9 displays message "Internal error, cannot print page" when I try to print to a networked Color Laserjet 2600n. Printing works well on my other networked HP printer.

    The windows 8 driver for this printer should be available in late January. Please bookmark this site and visit it for up to date information. Also located on this site are links to documents for the network workaround and the in-os document.
    Laserjet Printers supported in Windows 8
    Install HP print software via a network in Windows 8
    As a test, I did install this using the windows 7 drivers, it printed fine but I received a pop up giving me an error printing but it still printed. I then used the network work around to shut the bi-di off and the pop up went away, again it printed fine. I would suggest if you use the windows 7 drivers, that you upgrade to the windows 8 drivers when they are available.

  • Trying to print to Color Laserjet CP2025n from OS X Mavericks on a Mac Pro over the network...

    Basically, the configuration and drive status all seem OK. But when I try to print something from Adobe Reader, nothing happens after I click print other than the dialog dissappearing. There are no indications of error either. And when I bring up the printer queue, it is completely empty, as if the document was not even sent to it.
    I am seeing HP Color Laserjet CP2025n (F4F285) in the Printer selection, as well as in the System Preferences. And from System Preferences,  it shows up as "Idle, last used" with a green dot. I have attached full System Diagnostics, Bluetooth Diagnostics (although, I believe this is network'd over the LAN), and the System Report of my Mac Pro. You can see these @
    https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2wbE3EVNff3WUNQR2RPTjRmejA&usp=sharing
    The other week it printed fine, but it I think I recall seeing two options in the Printer selection box. Now it only shows one, but again, the drivers indicate that everything is alright. I can even view the amount of ink remaining?

    Hi @jahburnit 
    I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
    My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
    Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
