/usr/libexec/cups/filter cgpdftoraster failed (Epson Stylus Photo 1400)

10.5.2 appears to have added support for my printer when it is plugged in to my airport express - before I upgraded it did not work at all, now it works almost perfectly.
However, when i try to print a book from aperture (Aperture 2.0 Trial), the printer bounces on the dock and the job says that it is working, then an error flashes up and disappears and then the status changes to "stopped".
I managed to take a screenshot in the second that the error is displayed, and it is as follows:
"/usr/libexec/cups/filter cgpdftoraster failed"
I have not tried printing a book when the printer is directly plugged into my laptop yet, as this is the first time that I have ever tried - everything else seems to work perfectly (Printing photos / printing from Lightroom), but not printing this book.
The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 (A3+), but it does not seem to be a printer problem - as it never tries to send the file to the printer, it breaks before it gets that far.
Does anyone know why this is happening and have any suggestions about how to fix it?
Thanks.

I concur, Aperture 2.0.1 on OS X 10.5.2 was NOT able to print to the Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and resulted in an "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/cgpdftoraster failed" message at the print driver.
Exporting the image from Aperture to Photoshop, and printing using Photoshop, printed effortlessly; I was even able to use "Super B" paper (13"x19") Sheet-Feeder Borderless with Ultra Premium Photo Paper Semi-Glossy.

Network printing Printer Pauses /usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed

Morning,
I wonder if anyone has encountered the following problem?
NETWORK SET UP
We have a network of 8 macs & a Fuji Xerox c2255 printer all connected to a gigabit switch.
The Fuji Xerox has an fixed ip address 192.168.1.122 All devices have fixed ip address.
PROBLEM
Only one mac (Mac Pro) can print direct to the Fuji Xerox Printer. This Mac Pro is on 10.5.8. and it is sharing its printer connection with the rest of the studio. Oddily enough, the Appletalk function is turned on. When the appletalk function is turned off on the ethernet port, it can not longer directly print nor share the Fuji Xerox with the rest of the network
The remainder of the Macs are all on 10.6.4 or 10.6.3. When the printer is first installed on the an iMac client, it can print from text files, offices docs, from safari or firefox with out any problem. But when it attempts to print a pdf file (preview) or Indesign files then it pauses the printer. Within the printer queue, if attempt to restart the printer, the printer pauses. It remains in this state indefinitely. When looking at the CUPS logs via the console, the error is printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed". This is the message displayed on all the clients that attempt to print directly (via LPD) to the Fuji Xerox. Once this error message is logged, the iMac can no longer print out text files nor word documents.
The following console log is typically of what all the 10.6.x clients are reporting,

APPROACHED USED TO DATE
1. I have reset the Printer subsystem for all clients
2. I have reinstalled the latest PS drivers for this model of Fuji Xerox c2255. I have been on the phone with Fuji Xerox Technical support, FX DocuPrint C2255 v3017.104PS , and confirmed that this is the latest (and only) availible drivers for 10.5-10.6
3. I have had the Studio manger arrange to have the Fuji Xerox printer fully serviced and had the firmware updated to latest version.
4. Via Fuji Xerox Technical support, they advise I use the following settings for LDP printing for FX c2255,
Latest driver for 10.6 : 3017.104.ps
Setting to check :
Queue name : PS
Enable EtherTalk
LPD port : from auto to PS
Software version :
Controller plus PS role 1.100.21
5. I have (manually) deleted the all the FujiXerox drivers from /Library/Printers/ then repair permissions, then reinstalled the latest version of the Fuji Xerox driver from 10.6
WEIRDNESS
1. With the 10.6.x client, when the drivers are first installed, if I create a simply indesign file, I can print directly to the Fuji Xerox. If I then attempt to print out a previously created indesign document, it will pause the printer and the console (CUPS error_log) will display the above result. If I switch my printer to the Mac Pro 10.5.8 sharing the printer, the same document can print out via the hosted Fuji Xerox.
2. The Mac Pro 10.5.8 can print all documents directly to the Fuji Xerox regardless of the format of the document. It is also able to share the printer with the dept. This is the sole means of the dept being able to print out artwork.
3. Prior to the firmware upgrade I have tried an iMac printing/hosting the Fuji Xerox via direct USB cable. The same behaviour as above were experienced.
4. This model of Fuji Xerox only supports LDP or direct USB connection.
5. I have tried using the Bonjour address to configure the printer but the results are no better nor no worse. At one stage, all the iMacs were able to print sucessfully for a day but then 'stopped working' (as reported by the studio manager). They then switch back to the Mac Pro hosting the printer to continue working.
6. I discovered that if the drivers are installed and then a Permission repair carried out (via Disk Utility), it would change all the driver permissions for the files in the /Library/Printers/FujiXerox. When attempting to print (with the revised permissions), the 'print' button would not 'work'; the print dialog would present until Cancel was selected. It was almost like changing the permissions has lock out the functionality of being able to print. Manually moving the FujiXerox to Trash and reinstalling the drivers reverted the printer back to the above behaviour.
7. I discovered that when installing the printer, using LPD, it is better to allow the default settings. If I stuplated that the Fuji Xerox is a two bin set up, rather then a single bin set up, I can not print out from any application. If, I left settings as default, my assumption is that the apps can mange the printer features.
I've been working on this for a while now and this is driving me crazy. I would appreciate any suggestions. Has anyone come across this issue before ? Any ideas ?
Thank you,
Fred

Hi Pahu,
Thanks for your reply. I noticed that you have replied to a number of other postings as well - you're a good sort !! Your knowledge and contribution to this forum is much appreciated and very welcome.
Yes, this is a curly problem. I've actually been trying to resolve it for several months. Interesting the c2255 is not stated as being supported under Apple's Fuji drivers release for SN. The driver has to be downloaded directly from Fuji Xerox. The following is from the c2255 Config page,

What is interesting is that this problem occurs with all the 10.6.x macs. There is a Mac Pro that has been upgrade to 10.6; an iMac that has had a complete rebuild with 10.6; two iMacs that have been upgraded from 10.5.x and two new iMacs that came preinstalled with 10.6.2. None of these Macs can direct connect to the Fuji Xerox c2255. Only the 10.5.8 Mac can direct connect to the FX c2255 and can host (or share) the FX c2255 printer to the rest of the network.
One of the bizarra aspects is that the all the Macs can print text files, offices docs, web pages, etc, etc directly to the Fuji Xerox c2255 without any problem. BUT try to print a pdf file from preview or from Indesign and it resorts back to the status described earlier. Oddily enough, if I create a simple pdf in Indesign (circle, squares, a paragraph of text), I can print out the file using Indesign, directly to the printer. If I import one of the previously created documents, the printer reverts to the status described earlier. HOWEVER, if I take the same document and print via the Mac Pro 10.5.8 hosting/sharing the printer, the document will print without any problem. What the... ??!?!?!
I thought it might be a firmware problem but following the onsite service of the printer, I think I can rule that out.
Can you see anything that I might be missing ???
Thank you,
Fred

To be honest, it looks more like a Chinese poem rather than error log. I found this part the most disturbing:

Anyone had such problems before? Just don't tell me this cursed device demands a sacrifice from freshly produced virgin paper sheets to chew on.
Other non-pdf documents print succesfully.

just got hit with thie same error on my canon printer, and I was told I should try reinstalling the printer (not sure if that's meant for the driver or the actual printer in CUPS, but I intend to try both...

Unable to print: /usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed HELP!!!

Hi Guys,
I am on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.7.3, and until some time ago I was being able to print on a HP Laserjet P1102w shared over ethernet from a iMac running OS 10.5.8.
Then something happened (probably as a result of an update) and I can't print on that shared printer any more. The error I get on the printer is that annoying /usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed, OR the "authentication required" message. The printer works just fine on the iMac...
I tried several fixes posted here and there such as re-setting the printing system and re-adding the printer in both machines, tried to fix it over the CUPS interface, and even tried this guy's approach:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20074767-263/how-to-fix-printers-not-workin g-in-os-x-10.6.8/?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=MacFixIt
Unfortunately nothing worked.
I noticed two weird things:
1) When I try to change the settings in the cups interface at the iMac, it won't let me apply the changes, it's like it is locked...
2) When I pull out the console at the MacBook, the log for the time the error comes out is:
kernel: IOSurface buffer allocation size is zero
Can someone please give me a hint of what's going on? This is nerve wrecking.
Many thanks!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

HT1338 How do I get a driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 so that it will run with Mountain LIon? I tried "Software Update" and says "no update available"

How do I get a driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 so that it will run with Mountain LIon? I tried "Software Update" and says "no update available". I contacted Epson and was told all driver updates had to be obtained using "Software Update"?

You will find the latest Epson drivers herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398.
If you don't find a driver for your printer in the above, then install the Gutenprint drivers. It supports your model.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
from Stevejones5
"I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library. (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!

Photoshop CS3 with Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and Mac Leopard

I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 and an Epson Stylus PHOTO 1400 printer and Mac OS X 10.5.4.
When I print a photo it comes out with excessive ink which smears very easily and has lines in it. It only does it in Photoshop. When I print from any other program it comes out fine. I've seen reviews online where people have printed from Macs and photoshop onto the printer and it worked. I've already contacted Epson, but they said to contact Adobe. Does anybody have any advice?

Forget Epson's useless tech support.
What you describe is typical of improper printer profile or usage of non-Epson paper, especially paper with gloss. Have you profiled the printer/paper and are you using Epson paper (or other paper and profiles specifically recommended here for Epson photo-quality printers) properly selected?
Like Ramón I am on 10.4.11, not 10.5.x, but I doubt if your described problem is due to the OS version.

Epson Stylus Photo 1400 detection problem

Hi all,
I have an Intel based iMac with 27 inches display and a Macbook. They are both running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I'm trying to install my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer on my iMac but having quite difficult times. I installed everything that came with the Epson installation CD. But I see the problem is beyond a driver issue because my iMac does not detect the printer at all.
When I plugged the printer to my Macbook without even installing the drivers it automatically detected that a printer is plugged in. In the case of iMac however, I even updated Epson printer drivers from Apple Software Update page but it still behaves like nothing has been plugged in to any of the USB ports. I have four ports and I tried every one them by the way. The ports themselves are OK because I have an external disk and it works in all four ports.
Have you ever came across with such an issue where iMac does not detect a plugged in USB printer.
Thank you.
Alper K. Tunc

be sure to UnCheck the 16-bit option in the Epson print dialogs (it is a known bug that causes dark, off-colr prints)
try reviewing this CS6 Photoshop Manages Colors workflow
and the troubleshooting tips there
make sure you get a cean nozzel test pattern and are printing on the correct side of the paper...

Epson Stylus Photo 1400 not working on 10.6.5

I've done just about everything I've found online and both epson and apple are in denial of this situation. I'd been on the phone with apple to almost two hours and in the end they tell me that it's probably epson's drivers and that I need to contact them. Another 2 hours with epson pretty much saying I needed to contact apple.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Whenever I print using word/photoshop or any other apps, I get nothing. My printer icon doesnt ever come up on the dock. Even when I open it manually I see that they werent added to my queue. If I try to print with Preview App, it tells me "Error While Printing"
I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, remove and re added printer, I've checked and repaired disk permissions. What gives? Is it 10.6.5 causing this?

So I went on and downloaded Print Therapy to see what is going on and here's what it found:

Cannot add Epson stylus photo 1400 to printer list

Hi,
I just unpacked my new printer, however I don't seem to be able to install it properly. I have tried both the the driver from the website as well as the one that came with it on CD. First, installing seems to go smoothly. Then I get to a screen telling me that before I can print I will have to add it to the printer list. The next screen gives me the printer list with the Epson Stylus's name on it. However, clicking on it I am not able to select the proper device name. It just doesn't appear on the list. (click here for a screenshot: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8601/bild15zy6.png ) Finally, the Epson driver installation app tells me that my printer "has not been added to the printer list" and that I should better go back and try again. "Running a printer check" actually makes it draw paper in but doesn't print anyhow.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks a lot.

I now managed to install my printer. To state my problem first, so people don't have to read the whole thread again:
My printer (this should be printer model independent) is connected directly via USB to my macbook. When I tried to add it to my printer list, I recieved the message "Error: -9672, An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer"
As I gathered from the forums, this points to missing rights during installation. In a lucky guess, I logged onto my computer not with my usual account but with the admin account and from there I could install it without any problems!
That is a bit strange as I should have been able to assign admin rights via entering the password from my usual account, but there you go. Strange are the ways of Apple (as with my most favourite mac problem/solution of all times: when you use the password reset feature from the install DVD, it uses an english keyboard layout, but in the standard log-in window it uses whatever the locale is set to, thus e.g. mixing z und y in German layout amongst others. This small misunderstanding cost me hours over christmas! Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone has similar trouble)
I hope this helps,
Otto

Epson stylus Photo 1400

Hi. I just replace my espon 1280 to 1400, running Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Original printing driver was working fine for about 10 pages of printing, then this morning, when I hit print, it shows up in Que., then 10 sec. later or so, disappeared, and show up in complete job without printing.
I just downloaded epson 13964 dmg software from epson site, and re-install it again, as well as re-started computer and printer.
still not working.
Does anyone have same issue and know any way to fix this issue? Thank you.

Hi. I just successfully printed a page of word document from MS word software. The problem I had listed below was from INDD running CS4.
Thank you!
