What is: "-1 unsupported colorspace" (Printer Message)

I tried to print from my MacBook Air (OS 10.8.2), after I had just down loaded and installed the latest driver for my
Epson RX 580 Printer from Apple.
I am connected via USB Ethernet to my PowerMac (OS 10.4.11) desktop, which is connected to my desktop Epson RX580
printer/scanner via USB.
Both printing and scanning work fine from the PowerMac, which still has the original Epson driver and software installed.
When I tried printing fom the MacBook Air the RX 580 Monitor appeared the dock and opened, showing an error message:
"-1 unsupported colorspace", and its progress bar was running diagonal stripes indicating no progress.
What do I need to do to solve this?
(I was trying to print in black and white, and had not even asked for any color printing - the new software update from Apple
does not give me a window for selection of color, colorsync, color adjustments, etc. all of which were possible with my old
PowerMac and its printer software.)

The fact it worked before doesn't mean there was no bug in it... I've seen program that worked for years that started to crash just because a new environment variable was defined. That program always messed the environment variable but it didn't mess anything he needed until that new variable was added to the environment. The programmers had hard time to beleive such an unrelated change can cause such a huge effect on their program... So... you must have a bug in your native code... try to find were :)

Mac os x Lion version 10.7.2 installed Gutenprint for my Epson Stylus Photo 1390. Every time I try to print I get the following error message: cgpdftoraster unsupported colorSpace. Any advice would be helpful thanks.

Mac os x Lion version 10.7.2 installed Gutenprint for my Epson Stylus Photo 1390. Every time I try to print I get the following error message: cgpdftoraster unsupported colorSpace. Any advice would be helpful thanks.

I don't think Lion installed it, rather you did. That said System Preferences>Print & Scan. select your Epson printer and then select Options & Supplies>Driver>Print Using>Select print Software. Then scroll down to the driver you want to use.

Lpd printer error "Unsupported colorspace = -1."

I cannot get my printer work on Mac, it works from windows. It's on the network setup as lpd connection. I get an error "Unsupported colorspace = -1." Any ideas?
Printer Epson Stylus Photo RX600
Right now it's connected to my wireless router (it has USB ports and acts as a print server)
I also tried accessing it as a windows shared printer when it was directly connected to another windows computer but same error occured.
Yes I just got this Mac and I'm Mac stupid.
Thanks

OK I got it to work.
All instructions online from printer manufacturer, print server, etc are wrong.
What I had to do:
System Preferences > Print & Scan
Add a printer
Right click to add the Advanced icon to the toolbar
Advanced
Type = LPD/LPR Host or Printer
Leave device as another device
Enter lpd://ipaddress of print server/lpdservername
Enter name and location of printer
Here's the key, let it auto select the printer, if I select the epson printer it doesn't work, it autoselects Generic PostScript Printer and all works.
Hope this helps if anyone is having the same issue.

Unsupported 'colorspace' when printing from Mac?

I've just gone through the huge debacle of connecting my new Mac laptop to a shared computer, and then, when I go to print the document, nothing happens, so, I go into the print queue, and it has a loading bar, then it says 'unsupported colorspace = -1',

I'm attempting to connect a MacBook Pro laptop to an Epson Stylus Photo R1900 printer that is connected to my Windows 7 Professional PC (64 bit). I've gone from "awaiting authentication error" to finally being able to at least install the printer. Now, it's "unsupported colorspace." When I checked the details of the print job, I saw it's set to CMYK for a simple text document. There is no option allowing me to get to the printer settings to change it. If anybody can help, please post an answer. Thanks!

Mail started printing messages in smaller format than one selected. Have tried changing format, but doesn't work. What to do?

Mail started printing messages in a much smaller format than one selected in preferences. I can change to a larger format and the size increases, but the printed message doesn't increase to what is selected, it's still smaller. I don't change settings regularly so what's wrong?

When the Print Dialog comes up, see if this is checked under the Mail option...

OfficeJet 6700 - "Unable to communicate with printer" message after install

I am on a hybrid network with Windows 7, 64-bit. Printer is hard-wired to the router (ethernet) but laptops are wireless. Installation doesn't allow for a hybrid option, just wireless or wired, so I installed as wired.
I just installed the OfficeJet 6700 - installed OK. I also updated software/firmware during the install process.
Windows' "Devices & Printers" recognizes the HP as being installed.
Printer is able to produce the network configuration page, etc. so we know the printer is functional, but when I try to print I get an "Unable to communicate with printer" message.
Windows' "Devices and Printers" troubleshooter thinks the driver is not installed, but as I mentioned, I just installed software from the CD.
UPDATE: I was able to install & print without problems on my wife's Win7, 64-bit laptop. Something about mine seems to be the issue. Also, HP Print & Scan Doctor reports that everything checks out OK, but when I try to print a test page at the end of the good doctor's diagnosis, I am still "unable to communicate with printer."

Sorry this is so long, but I tried to be through in my testing.
Followed your suggested steps.
I had previously set a static IP address, but just to be thorough, re-set it again with the same address.
I unplugged the USB cord from the laptop.
I began with the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)," which was set as the default printer.
After entering the IP address & clicking Next, it searched the network and returned this message:
Additional port information required
The device could not be identified.
The device is not found on the network. Be sure that:
1. The device is turned on.
The network is connected.
The device is properly configured.
The address on the previous page is correct. (re: the page where the IP address is entered)
If you are sure the address is correct, select the device type below.
I selected Standard (Generic Network Card) and clicked Next.
Summary dialog appeared and I clicked Finish.
Clicked OK/Apply.
Attempted to print. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing.
Right-clicked on the "Copy 1" device and selected Troubleshoot. Returned the message: Make printer "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700 the default printer" - even though this copy is already the default printer. (Usually when the original copy is set as the default, this copy is automatically re-named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700.") I chose "Apply this fix."
Summary page said "Troubleshooting has completed." I closed the troubleshooter and attempted to print. I closed the Devices & Printers window so it could refresh. Re-opened Devices & Printers. Now the default printer is named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700." The other device is grayed out and is simply named "HP OfficeJet 6700."
Attempted to print. (I'm testing w/ Notepad and .txt files)
I have 3 choices in the Notepad's printer dialog box but only 2 devices showing in the Devices & Printers window:
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. I clicked on Print & rec'd an error message: "Send Fax - HP Officejet 6700. There is a problem communicating with the Printer. Check your USB connection & verify that the printer is ready." Notepad's print dialog box shows status as Offline. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is the printer that shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." There is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." In Devices & Printers, when I right-click on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing," 2 HP devices are listed - the one labeled "Copy 1" and the one labeled "Fax." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
I plugged in the USB cord again and re-ran the same series of tests.
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is still the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." The fax window opened, waiting me to enter the recipient's name, add a cover sheet, etc. I closed the fax window. The .txt file was in the print queue for the "Fax" device, so I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." Again, there is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. This is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Next, I used the printer's touch screen interface and turned the wireless connection off, leaving the USB cord plugged in.
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - Status: Ready. The fax window opened, same as before. I closed the fax window & canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 - Status: Paused - Offline. I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This one shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Error. I clicked Apply, then Print. Again, this is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Reconnected to the wireless network & verified that the IP address had not changed.
Tried again to print using "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Ready. I clicked Print and again, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is still listed as one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device." Like before, I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Next, I right-clicked on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing" and selected the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." In the print queue window, when I click on "Printer, one of my options is "Set as Default Printer." As soon as I did that, the device in the Devices & Printers window was renamed as "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - no longer named "Fax." I tried to print again. Once again, file was sent to the print queue but never printed.

Safari won't print: "Error while printing" message

Recently updated to Safari 6.2, on on 2012 Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.5. Tried to print a page from Amazon, and received "Error while printing" message. I then have to force quit Safari. I am able to print from Indesign, OpenOffice, and the same Amazon page from Chrome with no problem, so the problem seems to lie with Safari.
I ran Disk Warrior, and rebuilt permissions, but the problem persists.
I am reluctant to call Apple and be told that I have to reinstall system software, this seems related to my recent software update of Safari.
Could use some suggestions here if anyone knows what the problem might be.

It might be the Safari cache or cookies in Safari in you want to try ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
No open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Receive unsupported media format message

When transfering songs purchased from the Real Music Store to iPod Nano (using Real Player 10.5), I recieve an "unsupported media format" message. It is important to note that the same songs transfer to my iPod 30GB video player. Real support indicated a potential issue with 5th generation iPods but it is unclear whether or not the recently purchased Nano would be considered as such. Thanks in advance for any help.

have had no trouble burning and playing CD-Rs on other media (i.e. CD player, car radio).
Media is what the info is on such as a CD, DVD or floppy.
A player is CD player, car radio, computer, etc.
Open iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Burning.
Make sure it is set to Audio CD, NOT MP3 or data.

Printing messages from my IPhone

How does one print messages from the IPhone 4?

To add to what Chris said. You can take a screen shot by pressing the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. Then email that to yourself and then print from a PC or a Mac.
Hope this helps!

File unsupported or corrupted message from Lr4.4 [was: WinWolloff]

Recently I have been getting a file unsupported or corrupted message from Lr4.4 If I open the file from Lr and save as same name replace file it works fine???? OSX10.6.8 Files are on Drobo firewire 800

web-weaver wrote:
There had been reports a while ago that Lr was unable to write exported files to a folder that was (at the same time) synced with Drobo. Drobo acknowledged the problem and has - about 2 months ago - updated its software to eliminate this problem.
That was dropbox, not drobo. Still, point is well taken - Lr (and/or export plugins) sometimes writes files in place, rather than writing a temp file and then moving atomically. Even Windows thumbnail creator sometimes creates bad thumbnails of (what will become good) exported files, because of this...
Exportant has option to alleviate this anomaly.

Print message print cartridge cannot move because of paper jam but the paper jam has been cleared.

My Envy 4502 printer message window says that the print cartridge cannot move and to clear any paper jam obstruction. There was a paper jam and I cleared it but the message "the print cartridge cannot move and to clear any paper jam obstruction" remains there and I cannot remove it or get the printer to print. I tried everythng listed in the troubleshooting section of the help guide in the software. I uninstalled the printer and then reinstalled it which didn't help in the slightest--the message about the print cartridge is still there. I also tried unplugging the printer overnight (to try to clear the memory) and this also did not help--that message is still there. By the way, I can easily move the printer cartridge by hand and I can hear the cartridge moving when the printer attempts to work. I would appreciate any help from anyone to get my printer to work again!

What are the options to print pay stubs? what type prtr configs? security ?

Hi everyone on the HCM community and BASIS,
We have ECC 6 on windows 64bit server. We are in the process of going live with HCM in SAP and are looking for the most effecient and secure method to print pay stubs.
we are also configuring online pay statements, however for go live we would like to be able to also print the pay stubs.
Currently we have the following method set up to print thru windows. We installed the sapsprint software on a file print server. the synchronization happens between SAP and the file print server with file print server name definition. SAP sends the print requests to the file print server which in turn prints the report/file and sends the confirmation back to SAP.
We do however have 2 printers which are directly defined on the server and restricted to ONLY staff assigned special priviledges for print A/P cheques in their area.
The NEW requirement is to have either a .PCL or .PDF file of ALL print stubs printed in our printshop. And I am not clear on how this would happen. Would we have to define a NEW printer in SAP with a specific driver to accomodate the printshop printer (depending on the type of printer that it is?)
Please keep in mind that the printers in the print shop are varied and sometimes used to print books, manuals etc.. I beleive they also have RICOH type printers similar to what we use in th office. And all of this would be done over the network.
So For now we just wanted to explore what would be required to print a PDF file , what SAP printer configurations would be required and secured and the same for the PCL files.
Any information would definitely be appreciated!!!

Hello
SAP supports PDF conversion in 2 way's:
1. Convert using program RSTXPDFT4 , RSTXPDFT2 , RSTXPDF
2. Convert using printer device type ZPDFxx
Refer to SAP note:
317851 - Creating PDF format using the SAP spooler
Additional details:
Print to a file printer which you set-up on Windows platform.
When you set 'Host Printer: __Default' in the output device definition
in SPAD, the print is automatically sent to the defualt Windows printer
as set up in the Frontend User's Windows PC. This is usually a regular
printer.
To get this to work, you need to set up a 'Print to File' printer in the
Windows print manager of your Frontend PC as follows:
    a. 'Settings' -> 'Printer' -> 'Add Printer'
    b. On the window that appears, click on 'Next' button.
    c. Select 'Local Printer' and click on 'Next'
    d. Select the port 'FILE Print to File'
    e. Select 'Generic/Text Only' driver
    f. Enter 'Printer Name' eg: PDFTEST
    g. Share as: eg: PDFTEST
    h .Finish
Then in the output device definition in transaction SPAD, you need to
set the Host Printer field to the same name as you defined your 'Print
to File' printer in the Windows.
e.g. in the example above, the setting would be:
Host Printer: PDFTEST

Printing messages in Log File and Output File using Dbms_output.put_line

Hi,
I have a requirement of printing messages in log file and output file using dbms_output.put_line instead of fnd_file.put_line API.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
I tried using a function to print messages and calling that function in my main package where ever there is fnd_file.put_line. But this approach is not required by the business.
So let me know how I can achieve this functionality.
Regards
Sandy

What is the requirement that doesn't allow you using fnd_file.put_line?
