Trying to Print - Receiving "Missing USB Class Driver" Error

Since I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, I have not been able to print. I have a Lexmark X5470. At first, any application that attempted to print simply crashed. Then, I removed the Lexmark folder from /Library/Printers, and did a custom install of just the Lexmark printer software from my Leopard DVD. Now the applications no longer crash, but I am getting this error:
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/usb failed
Missing USB class driver.
Does anyone know what this is? I have deleted the printer and re-added it, restarted the computer, disconnected the printer, etc...everything I could possibly think of.
Thanks!
(And Lexmark did tell me that they have no plans for making their software for this printer compatible with Leopard, so I need to get it working without their help.)

There are several posts here on the Lexmark x5470. One that mentions your specific problem is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5674001&#5674001
Other have had success using the Lexmark drivers and then disabling or deleting a plugin. There are several threads on this.
Hope this helps.

Missing USB class driver for Lexmark X7170

I just upgraded to Leopard and everything went fine but the USB connected Lexmark X7170 errors when printing with this message:
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/usb failed
Missing USB class driver
I did reinstall the Lexmark printer app but no luck. The app does run but missing USB driver still. Posted email to Lexmark but no reply.

Have same problem with Lexmark X5490 - in fact I used it OK under Tiger but wasn't ever able to use since upgrading to Leopard last year.

"Missing usb class driver."

When I try to print to my Lexmark printer I get the above error message. I have updated the software. How can I remedy this?

So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Of course if it's not booting up, it's easier to fix in place

"Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
Most commonly used backup methods
So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

A Printer and a USB hard drive at the same time

Hi all,
I currently have an airport extreme (g) but I'm thinking of upgrading to the newer version Airport Extreme mainly because it allows sharing a hard drive. However I noticed that there is only one USB port. I would ideally like to use it to share a printer and a USB hardrive for time machine backups over the network.
An apple salesperson at the Apple store told me it was possible to connect both using a USB hub, but I would like to know if anyone on the board has attempted to do this and if it works properly.
I know there is the time capsule option but I generally don't like all in one boxes.
Thanks in advance for your responses,
- Dan

I have had a 2.0 USB hub connected to the USP port on my AEBS for almost a year for a printer and a HD. Initially I had intermittent connectivity to the HD but never the printer. As Apple upgraded the software/firmware for the AEBS, the problems have stopped. Reliability has been 100% for several months. Go for it.
Regards,
Brian

Trying to format a new USB flash drive so it will work on both a Mac and PC

I have a brand new Sandisk USB flash drive that I am trying to copy movie files onto from my Mac's hard drive. For some reason I can copy one of the movie files but not the other, even though they are both Quicktime (.mov) files. In doing some research, it seems the one file will not copy/paste likely because it is over 4 GB in size and the FAT32 filing system on the USB drive prevents files in excess of this size to be copied and pasted.
My question to anyone who can help me is: How can I get files over 4 GB onto and off of this USB drive AND be able to use it for both Mac and PC computers?
Thanks for any advice.
Shaun

If I format the USB stick on my Mac as exFAT, will my client who´s most likely using a PC be able to screen it tomorrow morning...??
exFAT would only be an issue if they were running a version of Windows older than XP. If it is XP, they would need to install the free exFAT update before being able to access the drive.

When trying to print in iPhoto 9.1.1 error: "There were no themes located"

Hi, first time poster here. When trying to print a photo in iPhoto 9.1.1, I get an error stating "There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable. This started after upgrading to iPhoto 11. I can print from all other applications so I know that I don't have a printer problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks for the suggestion Larry. This discussion is for iPhoto 7, and says to do a custom install using the system disk that came with my computer. Since I recently installed iPhoto 11 from iLife, should instead reinstall from the iLife disk, rather than the system disk that came with my computer?
Yes
Also, I just want to make sure that in deleting all the files listed in this discussion, that I won't be deleting my photos. Thanks!
You will not be deleting any photos or data about them - they are in your iPhoto library and you should not be going into it -- ever

When trying to print a photo I get an error that themes need to be installed. I checked and themes are installed so what now?

I am on my MacPro desktop. I am using iPhoto vdrsion 9.2.3.
While perusing my photos, I click one and attempt to print the photo (Cmd P).
I get a dialog box alerting me to an error which reads: There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable.
I have tried downloading the latest print drivers for my HP Photosmart C4200 but no luck.
Although I know that a basic theme allows you to select border, borderless, etc. for your printed photo, I cannot figure out how to install a theme.
My workaround is to email the photo to myself and print it from the Preview app.
PS: I read in another forum that I should check in user/library/app support/iPhoto for a Themes folder and if found, I should move it to HD/Library/App Support/iPhoto/ and reboot. But I checked for Themes folder in both of these locations and it is there!!! With some 98 entries. So now what? Reinstall?????
Any ideas?

You'll have to reinstall iPhoto in order to get the themes linked back to the application. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

External (USB) Hard drive errors when plugging in Ipod mini

I just got an Ipod mini from a friend.
I installed the newest version of Itunes and also updated the Ipod mini software.
The problem I have had since the beginning is still there. When I plug in the Ipod, it gives me errors on my external hard drive saying "Write delay error", etc. It only happens when I plug in my Ipod. I also can't access the Ext. HD once the ipod is connected. Once I disconnect the Ipod and cycle the ext. HD then the Ext. HD starts working again. Everything is fine until I try to plug the Ipod mini into the USB again.
Also for reference the Ext. HD is on the back USB plugs and the Ipod I have in the front.
Please help!! My music is on my Ext. Hard drive and so I need it in order to transfer the music to my Ipod

hiya!
sometimes power drain through one USB 2.0 port can affect ipod connections on a different port.
do you have an electronics retailer with a good money-back guarantee nearby? if so, it might be worth experimenting with seeing if you get better recognition (while both are plugged in) by using a good quality powered USB hub.

USB Flash drive not showing on DT

Hi folks,
I received a USB flash drive with 2 GB capacity made by Super Talent (www.supertalent.com- look under Aluminum flash drives).
Upon plugging it into the G5's USB port (i've tried them all) I get a "Cannot recognize- Initialize/Ignore/Eject" message. Clicking Initialize brings up Disk Utility which sees the drive with a capacity of..wait for it..2 Terabytes! Here's DU's info:

Selecting HFS+ (journaled or not) or MS-DOS then clicking Erase gives me a spinning beach ball requiring me to Force Quit DU.
My config: G5 DP 2.0, 1 GB ram, 10.4.6
Any thoughts?

hey there scan,
I gave the drive to a friend who has an iMac. Samething occurs: drive does not mount, DU erroneously reports 2 TB capacity and coughs up the beachball seconds after clicking on Erase to format it. He's on 10.3.9 while I'm on 10.4.6.
All the ports on my G5 are in working order as i use printer/scanner and iPod w/o problem.
Think the drive is going back.

HP Device Not Found Error when trying to print or scan wireless- HP Officejet Pro L7590

Have had HP Officejet Pro L7590 All-In-One Printer for years. Always worked fine and I had no issues printing via wireless connection. Several months ago.. Possibly after a Windows 8 update. From Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 I have not been able to use the printers wireless feature. When I try to print or scan it shows the printer as offline. Also get an error message that tells me "HP Imaging device is not found". I can still print when connected to USB. Cannot scan or use features of the HP software suite. I have tried several times to correct. Reloading the software and drivers several times, but no success. I just tried again and was able to print the test page wireless, so got all excited and thought I fixed it. Then tried to print something and got the same error message I have seen in the past. I have talked to certain supports saying that it may be a firewall setting within Windows. Any other suggestions? Thanks

How to format USB flash drive?

I recently received a USB flash drive at a traveling covention. It has two partitions and one is unwritable and is filled with travel brochurs etc etc. I was wondering if it was possible to reformat the whole thing back into 1 partition. I already tried disk utility. Thanks!

Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
