Update to 10.6.7 causes printing problems

Did Apple change the printing framework somehow in this recent update? All the computers in our office now cannot print properly to our Riso HC5500 printer. The same problem also with our Ricoh printer, which would suggest that something in the system changed. I've been able to identify one of the fonts as perhaps problematic with 10.6.7 whereas with prior versions, this font was fine. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing printing issues?

After updating my iMac Late 2010 i7 to 10.6.7 I had the font problem (fonts are strechted vertically, looks like arabic...) with MyriadPro when printing from Filemaker 9 to my GCC postscript printer. First printout only some letters are corrupted, the second printout is even worse. PDF creation crashes AcrobatPro 9.4.3
This font problem had occured once in 10.6.6 but after running the disk utilty fixing the permissions everythin was ok.
Now, in addition, Indesign CS3 is not printing at all to the Konica-Minolta magicolor 7450 color postscript printer. Result is an error reply from the printer. The same file prints perfectly when printed from my Macbook Air with Leopard on it.
Trying to go back to 10.6.6 with time machine resulted in a grey startup screen with endless circles of the startup carousel bars ( or what that thing is called). Now I am back to 10.6.7 printing all my stuff from the Macbook Air.

Windows 10 caused printer problems

Some of us found that uninstalling the printer and using the original CD to install like a new printer fixed problems like loss of the scan feature. I am shocked that days after posts of printer problems caused by Windows 10 have not been answered by HP on this forum. The solution above is so simple! My next computer will not be HP. No support !!!!!

Mac os x 10.4.11 update -- causes printing problems for Lexmark X1150

What can I do to get back up printing? Lexmark.com doesn't have a driver to support. Apple Care doesn't have answers...
The computer recognizes the printer, and still scans... but no printing...
Any ideas would be most appreciated.....

I experienced exactly the same problems with my Epson CX6600 after upgrading to 10.4.11: the installed USB driver no longer worked ("Communication Error"), and after removing it, the device was not recognized. I tried all of the usual avenues: repaired disk permissions, ran Printer Setup Repair, downloaded new drivers, restarted numerous times, etc. All to no avail.
However, I did succeed in resolving the problem, after following a clue from Console's system.log. The following error message appeared each time the system was booted:
Feb 16 11:43:28 my-computer kextd: can't find extension with id com.apple.iokit.IOUSBUserClient
Running kextstat revealed that, accordingly, this kernel extension was not being installed on startup as it should be. I resolved the problem by replacing this kext, by deleting the entire /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext tree and replacing it with a vanilla copy from the 10.4.11 combo updater package. This was done using the excellent Pacifist:

'Laserjet 1022n Windows Update' causing printing problems: print jobs don't stop printing

Hello,
a few days ago, I installed the Laserjet 1022n Windows Update on my Windows 7 64 bits and since then, I can't print a page normally: the page doesn't stop printing. I am using a network port with TCP/IP.
I made several trials to solve this problem:
- uninstall the printer driver and installing it again (I tried the last version on the HP site and an older one that worked perfectly before)
- update the firmware of the printer to the last version on the HP site.
When I pause the printer and start the print job, you see it arriving in the list. Resuming the printer, the print starts on the printer but you see that the job stays in the list, flashing again and again. The printer keeps printing the same page.
I don't know what I can do to solve this problem. There is no mean of uninstalling the HP Laserjet 1022n software update because it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs (well on the list of the done updates by the way op windows updates).
I have the same problem printing on the same printer from another Windows 7 PC (with the same windows update done)
But I have no problem printing with my laptop on another network printers.
Is there someone having the same problem and how to solve it ?
Thanks for answering
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I found the solution on this site : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/59912-29-1022n-printer-stop-printing
You just have to uncheck the chekbox "Enable two-way communication" on the "Ports" tab of the printer properties and it works normally again !!!!

Newest update caused printing problems

I was using Reader to print some forms this morning and things were fine for the first form, then the program said it wanted to update, so I let it.
Now it won't print properly.
I had been printing the form in portrait, so it would print at the top half of the page, then I'd flip it and print another set on the other half.
Now when I mark it to print portrait, it prints in the middle of the page. Just ruins my paper-saving strategy.

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
The update version is: 7.1 Bundle 2108
My carrier is Rogers (canadian version of AT&T)
It's Torch 9810 and it works well on version 7.1 Bundle 1310
Thanks

Fonts in linked images cause printing problems

This is not a question as I have already solved this issue, I just wanted to save someone else the time.
Problem: Print job stops half way through document
Error Code: 49.4C02
Printer: HP line (3 different models)
Program used: InDesign CS6 from Creative Cloud
I had printed this job before and never had an issue. Then one day after many textual edits, the PDF stopped printing and would send the printers into a Fatal error which caused them to reboot. I had no idea what had happened or why. All I could remember changing was text. It was printing on some printers, but none of the printers on my floor. At first I thought the file was corrupt, so I resaved it. And resaved it, and resaved it. I saved it out with every type of export setting. I even replaced vector illustrations with crummy jpeg images. Still, not working. My boss is kind of an important guy for the government, so when he started to get upset, we all started to scramble for a solution.
Research suggested that we update the firmware which did not work.
I was suspicious of potential problem fonts, though it confused me as they had printed before. I opened the PDF and went to Properties > Fonts and saw a Type 1 font. Not familiar with this, I Googled it and after reading a bajillion websites, still could not find the answer in removing it.
Now at this point, I had removed all of that font family (Type > Find Font > Replace), exported, opened PDF, still there! WTF, really? InDesign could no longer find this font.
Here's what happened.
Well, because in the new CS6, Preflight is no longer something that you have to manually go to, it works automatically similar to dynamic spell checking. My document did not have any errors, but I knew it HAS to have some sort of error. I went to the Preflight window (Window > Output > Preflight), clicked on the menu tab and went to "Define Profiles...". Well, well, well. Because the 'Default' setting put in place by Adobe does not actively have "Font Types Not Allowed" selected, it was not catching the Type 1 font that was causing a day of wasted IT resources and my sanity.
I made a new Profile, checked "Font Types Not Allowed", checked ALL of the "Type 1" options, saved and let it scan. What's this?! 1 error!? Hmmmm... it was coming from a linked .eps file! I opened the file, I must have forgotten to outline the font during all of the changes. And I'm assuming that because the font was linked via an element, that when InDesign went to export all of the fonts, it did not have access or did not know what to do with the font that was in my .eps file, so what it did was turned it INTO a Type 1 font (or as I learned, a PostScript font) and embedded it along with all of my other fonts into the PDF. Which is why when I was trying to find this font earlier, it couldn't be found because it wasn't IN the document, it was LINKED to the document. This font on its own prints fine, but it gets converted to a PostScript font when it is within a linked element within InDesign.
My whole office did a dance of victory once we fixed the problem. Ridiculous. So I hope now, if someone ends up having the same problem I did, now they know where to look to find the problem! It would have saved everyone here some time if the default "basic" preflight wasn't so "basic".

First off, I was only offering my experience for others who were having similar problems as I did.
3. Thank you for your opinion. But here's an example of when you should, when you pass the document around and others will open it WITHOUT access to any special fonts you used. Yes, you outline then to keep the font. Yes it's uneditable.
I find your response rather offensive. As if I am a complete fool and am unfamiliar with everything you've mentioned.
It is not only my opinion, when someone has not the used font, please export the file to PDF and send the PDF with embedded fonts. That is the way how missing fonts on the recipients computer are handled. In your case it is a logo, ok, as I mentioned before, in a logo I would outline the font too.
With outlining a font, e.g. in InDesign you loose not only the editibility but also automatic numbers and bullets, frame color & stroke with all effects applied on them, paragraph rulers, underline, strike through and many issues more, also missing metrics can cause a different setting (space between letters) after a font is outlined. And it is also impossible to outline automatic placeholder from the master without releasing them, but releasing them can cause a different order of items and will result in different text wrapping and a changed layout. If you want these things happen, do it.
Maybe that I am offensive, but I never considered you as a fool.

Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

Hi,
Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
Is there a workaround for this issue?

HP Laserjet 4P Printing Problems

I am using a Mac G4 with 10.4.7 and printing on a HP Laser Jet 4P using driver HP Laser Jet 4 Series Gimp.
When I first print a page or 20 pages of the job, all works fine. Once I go to print another job, I get the msg "GIMP Printing Page 1, 15% and the printer will not print no matter how long I wait. The only solution is to turn the printer off, re boot the Mac and then it will print one job. To print another job, without a failure, I must turn off the printer again and re boot the Mac. This is really a problem, especially when printing UPS Shipping Labels. Any idea how to correct this problem ?
I do not have the problem with a Epson Printer with standard Mac Drivers. But The HP Laser is so much cheaper to do volume printing, I prefer to use the Laser Jet 4P.
Thank You for your help
Paul

Here is the latest update on the HP LaserJet 4P printing problem.
1. I went to Library>Printers and dragged the Icon (HP Laserjet 4p.app) to the dock. Printer still will not print.
2. Reloaded the driver HP Laser Jet 4Plus v2013.111
Printer will not print. Error mag on printer is (W2-Invalid Pers)
3. Reloaded the driver HP Laser Jet 4 series Gimp Print V5.0.0 Beta.
Printer will print one Job (1 page or 20 pages). Send another job and it will not print.
4. Downloaded the HP Driver for Laser Jet as was instructed in an earlier post
( HPlaserjet v552.dmg) I double click on the .DMG file and it brings up a Icon of a Disk Drive on the desktop HE LaserJet V5.5.2.051. Double click on that icon and a window opens with the same information. There is no place to click to install this driver.
I do not believe the HP Laser Jet 4P has a problem as I can hook it to a PC and it will print one job after the other, never a problem.
How do I get the driver mentioned in #4 to appear in the HP Print drivers list in the printer setup utility so I can select it.
The Parallel to USB converter I am using was the one recommended earlier this year as the one used by a few here on the forum to run their HP Laser Jet 4P.
I could forget the HP Laser Jet and go with my Epson printer. However with amount of business printing and UPS Labels the ink cartridges is very costly. The Laser Jet will run for almost 2 years on a Cartridge. Others have made the Laser 4P work on a Mac. Please scan through my first post and replies to get a flavor of the problem.
Thanks for your continued support. Needless to say, I am lost in this problem.

Canon printer problem *since 4 months*

OS & printer updates come and go, but my printing problem persists:
Before my Mac even tries to communicate with my Canon printer, I get an unspecified error message: "Error during printing". Immediately, right after hitting the print button. No matter if the printer is online or offline. In the split of a second.
Console log message:
Pages[565] Printing failed because PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog() returned -30870.
PS: There is already a long list of these errors:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog()returned-30870.&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Thanks a lot for a helpful hint!

Did you try resetting the printing system as suggested?
I haven't experienced the same problem as you, but it did fix the one problem I had with printing.
System Preferences -> Print & fax. Hold the Ctrl-key when you click on the list of printers, and select 'Reset Printing System' from the options. You'll need to reset your printer options after doing this.

Assuming that the HP software is up-to-date, but still not working, have you tried Image Capture in the Applications folder. Does that work?
