Why does print function in Preview with Lion OS not work?

Since upgrading to Lion, the print functionality on Preview does not work.  When you select Print, the rainbow wheel of misfortune appears and I have to force quit Preview after a while. The print window does not even appear to select a printer (I have multiple print drivers and drivers installed).
All other aplications print nornally as before the upgade.

Hi,
After upgrading the EPSON drivers to version 2.8 under Lion, I now have an issue when printing PDF's with preview. Some text will not be printed, which is very odd. I have an Epson ALC2800 connected via ethernet, and I can successfully print the same documents from my windows 7 PC, or even from Acrobat reader on my MBP.
So, it seems that the issue is present in Preview, or at the least in the way, it prints. I hope someone can help me with this, because I use preview all the time (and I quite like the functions which are not present in Acrobat Reader)
thanks in advance,
David

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

    I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

    In what way is Firefox slow?
    Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
    What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

  • Does Print Shop 2 run with Lion?

    Just upgraded to Lion.  My old Print Shop for Mac does not work with the new system.  Does Print Shop 2 work with Lion/OS X 10.7.2 on an intel based iMac?

    What I am saying is that if you install it on a Snow Leopard disk and copy it over to a Lion disk it will work.
    I have installed Lion on a separate disk and am installing software slowly, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. When I tried to install the Print Shop 2 the installer on the DVD had the circle with the slash over it.
    If you get info on it you will see that it is a Power PC application (just the installer itself). The Print Shop 2 is an Intel/PPC app and it works fine on Lion after updating to the latest update. (2.0.11).
    I just drag copied the installed and updated Print shop to the Lion disk.
    It floors me that they call it a universal application and then use a PowerPC only installer...
    Hope this helps

  • HT4101 Why does my lightning sd card reader connection kit not work on my iPad mini since I upgraded to ios7.

    Why is my lightning sd card reader not working on my iPad mini since I updated to ios7. It worked perfectly well before upgrade.

    Try rebooting your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
    Is the lightning kit you use an Apple kit or aftermarket?  If it is Apple and after rebooting it does not work, return it to an pple Store and they will replace it.

  • Why does listening to music samples in iTunes Store not work?

    When listening to music samples in iTunes Store does not work this may be caused by the security settings in your antivirus software.
    In my case, the GData Antivirus Kit supported the realtime check of HTTP content. Obviously this caused a timeout in iTunes and the sample didn't play. There was no error message in iTunes store, just silence!
    Deactivate the realtime antivirus check of HTTP content and everything works fine.

    Any similar difficulties in other Antivirus- / Internet Security packages?

  • Printer and File Sharing with Windows is not working

    I have a MacBook Pro, Vista machine, and an XP machine on my network.
    The MacBook Pro is running 10.5.2.
    The Windows machines can see the MacBook Pro and access files on it, but I cannot see the Windows machines in Finder - thus I can't access the printers on those machines.
    If I goto 'Finder> Go> Connect to Server' and enter smb://ipadress I am able to mount the shares and access them.
    But obviously this does not help me with Printer sharing.
    Any help is appreciated, but FYI I have been reading many suggestions and none have worked.

    Go to "System Preferences/Security/Firewall" and change settings to: "Set access to specific services and applications". "File Sharing" and "Printer sharing" were already present for me, I don't know how to get them if they are not, and I don't know what the ramifications for security are. I can now see Windows computers and printers.

  • Why does update 31.4.0 cause TB to not work.

    Have updated TB to 31.4.0 twice now on Windows 8.1 with the same result, after receiving notification that an update was available. It caused TB to not display any e-mails on any accounts. All settings, address book, account settings etc. etc. seem to be present, just no visible e-mails or folders. I can write e-mails and receive notifications of new e-mails received but nothing is actually displayed. Just blank spaces where the message, preview and folder lists should be. After both updates I have had to download the previous version 24.5.0 which reverts my TB to fully working mode. Anyone know what the problem is?

    Khanda, if you didn't whine about it, tomorrow there would be 100 posts of even more whiners wondering why their iPhone is using up so much data, and how they didn't "mean to" upgrade.
    The mobile companies generally restrict large downloads for this reason.  If you don't like it, too bad.  It is what it is.  Grow up.

  • Why does my Verizon Iphone 5 personal hotspot sometimes not work?  I have to keep turning it on and off for it to come up.  This is a problem that I am having when connecting to a computer PC and MAC and a Ipod Touch and my Ipad.

    This issue is making me start to think that I have a defective peice of equipment.  It seems as though i have to restart the hotspot multiple times for it to work and when it does work it drops the device after being tether to it, and then I have to start the whole process over again.

    I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!!  The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.
