"unable to get printer status" and "server-error-not-accepting-jobs"

I've got an Intel Mac Pro with Tiger. When I accepted the latest update from Apple, I lost all my defined printers! I've re-added a local USB printer and a networked Laserjet - fine. But I also added a Phaser 850 color printer (networked) which used to work fine. It connects ok, and opens the printer queue window, but when it tries to print, it says "Unable to get printer status (server-error-not-accepting-jobs". The queue stays active (not stopped) but the jobs don't move. I've tried deleting the printer and re-making it - same deal. What's going on?

  • Error message "unable to get printer status"

    I am connecting an HP6700 with a macbook pro running 10.8 wirelessly.  Wireless printing has been working fine for months until it recently stopped.  I have reconnected to wireless network on both printer and computer, restarted both machines, both say they are connected to the wireless network.  However when I try to print it starts to print and then I get an error message that says "unable to get printer status"  I don't know what else to do.  Help!

    Hi lizse,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    Sorry to hear you've been having trouble printing wirelessly between your Mac running 10.8 and your Officejet 6700 printer but I will certainly do my best to help out
    To start, I know you've power cycled the printer and the Mac but I'm wondering if maybe your router had an update. I'd like you to turn off the printer and Mac, once they power down pull the power cord on your router for 30 seconds. Once the router is back up (the lights have returned to normal) turn the Mac and then the printer back on. Once they settle, please try to print again.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue please try resetting your printing system (don't re-add the printer just yet) and then perform a verify/repair of disk permissions. Once those complete, reboot the Mac and re-add the printer before trying to print again.
    Hope to hear back from you soon!

  • Lion server: Unable to get printer status

    I am attempting to connect a shared printer to my Lion server (for the purposes of printing documents from the server). The printer is connected to an iMac running Lion via USB and printer sharing is on. Other computers on the network are able to add and print to it fine.
    The printer adds to the printer list without issue, but when I attempt to print a document, it shows "Unable to get printer status" in the queue.  I've added/removed and reset printing system many times, but still no luck. I've also re-downloaded printer drivers from Apple and restarted the system.
    Any ideas to get this working? Thanks.

  • Java Printing Service (JPS) How to get printer status and pending jobs list

    Hi,
    I am trying to determine what is the current status of a printer in my computer as well as what is the list of pending printing jobs at any moment.
    I want to monitor activity on a printer in my computer, so I can capture and log the jobs that are sent to my printer over time.
    I would like to do so by monitoring the printer pending jobs list (if that can be retrieved through any java method) and make a log of changes in that list.
    Any advice on how to get the list of pending jobs of a printer?
    I checked the API and JobState class seems to be a descriptor of one single job... I suppose the method to retrieve a list of pending jobs in a printer would return an array of JobState objects... but I have not being able to find yet such method...
    Thanks in advance,
    JN

    Hi,
    In addition, I recommend you check whether you have additional Authentication methods (like ASP.NET Impersonation) enabled. 
    Disable the authentication method and try again.
    Also, please review the link below, here is a article about troubleshoot ISAPI filter issue.

  • Syncing: Page Not Found and Server Error

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with my Creative Cloud files syncing.  I keep getting an error saying that it was unable to sync due to a server error.  And when I log into the Creative Cloud website I get a "Page Not Found" error when creating new folders or browsing through files.
    I've been having proglems lately with the desktop sync and using the Adobe Touch apps like Adobe Ideas.  I found just working in the app for a few minutes on a client project the app would generate a ton of "conflict" versions.  And currently Adobe Ideas can't sync with Creative Clouds because it's been stuck on "Awaiting Connection" for a few hours now.
    Any help with the matter would be greatly appericated.  Thanks!

  • [Solved] CUPS: Unable to write print data: Input/output error

    I'm filling this for the benefit of those poor googlers that can reach here.
    Symptoms: After trying to print a "complex" image the printer made too much breaks, and failed.
    The problem is, it then didn't came up. I mean, I restarted the printer, cupsd, the whole system, and nothing.
    I was unable to print again, it showed "Unable to write print data: Input/output error" and refused to print anything.
    I then saw that in /etc/cups I had printers.conf and printers.conf.O files, which differed (other than in StateTime), that printers.conf.O had
    State Idle
    but printers.conf had:
    State Stopped
    StateMessage Unable to write print data: Input/output error
    Reason paused
    Probably due to the ErrorPolicy being stop-printer.
    So seeing I followed the following steps:
    Stop cups
    Replace printers.conf with printers.conf.O (I could also had manually edited it)
    Start cups
    It then went working flawlessly.
    There was probably an option in the web interface combobox for doing that. The problem is that I didn't realise it was stopped, so didn't know how to make it work. Moreover, some posts in the web recommended reinstalling the printer (which would skip the problem by creating a new printer).

    I think that I had this same problem, and fixed it by reinstalling the printer.  Thank you for your post.

    Try opening a terminal window (Applications >> Utilities). At the prompt, enter:

    This will ask you for the admin password and it will restart the Cisco client service. That should fix it. This seems to be a known issue that will eventually be solved with some updates.
