Yosemite and printer problems

I have just upgraded to yosemite and now find that my kodak all in one printer won't work.  I've reinstalled the up to date software and made sure that the wifi is fine.

I found a solution that worked in this house... we had a mac that couldn't see the printer no matter what we did - another mac found the printer with no problems at all... so what we did was that we set the printer to me shared on the network, and then it popped up on the mac that elsewise couldn't see it...
Once installed as a shared printer, we shut the comuter that shared the printer - and like a miracle, the printer then showed up on the inacessable Mac...
I've done this several times after new updates, and it workes like a charm every time... so just ask friends to come over with their computers - one of them will find the printer, and the rest is easy....
Know it's a silly way around it, but if it works, it works!

  • Yosemite and printing

    Well done Apple! Again, you have released an update to an operating system where you have not fully checked its application and compatibility.  Stop trying to go for the media image and sort your systems BEFORE you release them!  I have now spent 2 hours speaking with your people, regarding my Kodak printer not printing since I downloaded and installed Yosemite. Eventually I am tole to contact Kodak and see if they have released a driver that is compatible with Yosemite.  Ive just spent half an hour on the phone to Kodak, who say they haven't released a driver, and are working on one but it may take 6 months before they release can one.  As Kodak are not a small fly-by-night firm, why on earth didn't Apple share with Kodak what Yosemite would be doing regarding Kodak printers.  Im now told by Apple that I can't remove Yosemite and go back to the older system, when my printer was actually working! - and as I haven't backed up - my choice - I have to completely reset my mac to the setting when i first bought it.  Cheers for that - I seem to be spending SO much time on the phone to Apple, that I feel I should be invited to the Staff Xmas Party!  If you want people to spend vast amounts of money on your products, then you MUST properly and fully evaluate your operating systems BEFORE any release.  I now have the perfect choice - lost ALL my info that I have accumulated over the years or buy a new printer.  On second thoughts, there IS an alternative....return to Windows!!!

    The problem is you have the order of operations reversed.
    It's up to Kodak to provide printer drivers to Apple, and Kodak chose not to as they exited the home printer market a few years ago as they are just about solvent at this point.
    Yosemite was available to developers for over nine months, and at any point Kodak could have tested their printers had they had any interest in doing so; they did not.
    Why is it Apple's fault you didn't have a backup to restore from?

  • HP Officejet 5510 all in one - stalling of printing carriage and printing problems

    I have had this All in One Printer since December 2004. It had been working fine until I replaced a cartridge at a refill store over a year ago. To deal with the problem with HP I felt would be time consuming so I  put up with the problem and if I needed good quality printing, I would take it to Kinkos.
     The print carriage is slow to respond and print from my computer and then in the middle of the task the carriage will stop and stall or bang like it wants to move, but is stuck and then, with all the lights flashing, I get a message in the copier window for me to clear the printing jam or carriage jam and then press OK.   I open the door to the carriage and then close it and press OK.  It does not always work the first time to make the carriage stop banging. Eventually it will stop and the paper will release  and then it will continue finishing the task, but a lot of the time what is printed has double printing with jagging to one side of the paper.
    This is also affecting receiving any faxes because it involves print carriage.
    I have done all the steps for clearing a paper/carriage jam. There is nothing visable to cause a jam.  I have managed to do  the self test after the printer goes through some banging and  then telling me to open the door to clear the jam.    I have done the steps to
    clean the cartridges and then again do a self test.   I downloaded the latest driver/updates for the printer, but the problem persists.
    The cartridge refill store , not seeing the problem first hand, keeps offering for me to bring back the cartridges if the problem persists and replace them. 
    Do you think it is the cartridges or the unit?   I just replaced the black cartridge in December 2009 and have not print much knowing
    the quality would be poor.  Yesterday I saw a message that I am low on black ink. That does not seem possible.
    When I do the self test it is showing white lines through the colored bars and I am missing the pink or red bar. So I know I have to replace the color cartridge.
    As far as alignment,  when I did the first of two self tests,                                                     Second Test After the Drive Download
                                                               the Vertical Cartridge to Cartridge read    -12                               -24
                                                            the Horizontal Cartridge to Cartridge read    -24                                99
                                                the Black Bidirectional Cartridge to Cartridge read    -54                                0
                                                 the Color Bidirectional Cartridge to Cartridge read      6                                 6
    After doing the steps to automatically clean the cartridges, it printed a report with symbols at the top. They look to be squeezed together and the top portions of the symbols are missing.  The black bar has some white indents along the edges and the blue and yellow bars are spread more apart with some lighter colored lines vertically.
    I have Windows XP and the HP Director was not working.  I downloaded the patch and it is working correctly telling me that both cartridges are low, the black more than the tri-color and now a message that the print carriage has stalled.  The help button tells me  to do everything I have already done.
    Do you have an answer that I  can manage by myself or would it be better to take it to a computer repair place?
    Thank You , 918nifferf

    I have a carriage jam on my HP Officejet 5510 which I cannot correct.. I have tried everything I know to do. There are two black pieces that will not spring down when the cartridges travel across. I th en get a carriage jam message.
    Do these pieces need lubricated?
    How can I get t hem to go down when the carriage goes across?
    Thanks for any information or help options

  • PDF Export And Printing Problem

    I am using VB 2005 and the Crystal Reports that is bundled with it. I have reports on my website in the Crystal Report Viewer. I have the tool bar showing the Export and Print buttons. When you try to print (or export to PDF) you get an error from Adobe Reader "Adobe Reader could not open 'AcrXXX.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    I can see the file in my temp folder on my c-drive and the file (AcrXXX.tmp) does not contain a pdf instead it contains html for the report (including the report viewer). I tried deleting everything in my temp folder and I still get the error. My desktop is Adobe Reader 8.0 and IE 6 and Windows XP.
    The same code will create the PDF on all development and test web servers just not on my production server.
    I have no problem exporting a report to Word.

  • Display and Printing Problems

    I am using Photoshop CS5 extended on a minimac running 10.7.4. I have the lastest updates from Adobe installed for the Adobe Creative Design Premium Suite 5.5. I am having problems with photos not displaying correcting, but not all the time. This may sound strange. I am working on a project for a client with outside floor samples. The samples have smooth areas along with pitted or valleys patterns in it.  When the photo is displayed in photoshop it displays correctly for a time. I can leave the photo up or I can reopen the same file and the valleys and pits that are suppose to be displayed are now reversed and display as mountains or like a relief type of effect and prints that way too. Hopefully someone else has had a similar problem and can help.
    This same problem occurs in Bridge CS5. The photos will display correctly for a short time but then the photos are reversed with the all the valleys pattern showing as mountains. I have deleted the cache, but to no avail. If I change to anothe folder go back to the original sometimes this clears the problem but not for long. So what gives?

    Thanks Noel for the reply. Hopefully  this will help.
    This is how the file should look like.
    This is how the file usually displays.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Snow leopard and print problems

    I installed Snow Leopard in my MacBook and bought the new Imac desktop with Snow Leopard...now I cannot print wirelessly from either these or my old G4 (Leopard)....followed all directions and spent much time with apple support...downloaded Canon drivers and software again to be sure I had the latest and still no success. Canon then tells me the equipment does not work wirelessly even though it did on Leopard....(it is a Canon Pixma MX850)
    Any suggestions would be welcome

    I didn't see that 10.6.1 did anything for printing. BUT I did see new drivers from HP, Canon and Brother.
    In your case, I should point out that the MX850 does not use Bonjour. There is no way for the Mac to see this printer on the network without first installing Canon SW. Kind of a chicken and egg problem for the auto driver download. So you will need to manually download the latest Canon SW:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899
    If you installed SW from Canon's web site / CDs, you first might want to trash /Library/Printers/Canon and reset the printing system (Hold Option and click the "-" in print and Fax Prefs).

  • Yosemite and Printer error 79.00FE

    Just upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't print on my Hewlett Packard Laserjet 8150n.
    All I can get is "Printer Error 79.00FE" or "Printer Error 79.01FE".
    Any ideas?
    --Bill

    Good question, John. Thanks.
    Printer works fine (like always) printing Excel page, Microsoft Word page, this page from Firefox, QuarkXpress page.
    I only got the error when trying to print the page of an email from Apple about a product at the Store. Other email prints fine.
    Isn't that just bizarre?
    I printed the page as a PDF, and when I tried to print that, got the 79.00FE error again.
    So the only thing it doesn't want to print is the email from Apple. But when I take a screen shot of the email, I can print that (but not a PDF).
    Whew! I thought bad things had happened. (I remember the release of System 7 back in the old days, a six-month nightmare.)

    Desktop is 192.168.1.1  which is same as router? Is this correct?
    Devices on the same network cannot have the same IP address. Since 192.168.1.1 is for the router, check the IP of the desktop and try to ping that.

  • CS5 Color Calibration and Printing Problems vs. CS3

    We are migrating from CS3 to CS5, and i'm working on getting the printing right.
    We are on MacPro towers, 10.6.6, with LaCie LCD Monitors and an Epson 2200.  Calibration on monitors and printer done by EyeOne Pro and Profilemaker Pro.
    Printing:  In CS3, creating the profile was done by printing the appropriate Eye One testchart.  It gets opened with 'no color management', and is printed out with 'no color management'.  This way, the testfile is being printed as the printer prints, with no tweaks.  The color adjustment controls (brightness, saturation, cyan, magenta, etc) within the Epson driver are set to Zero.  Then, this print is scanned in, using the Eye One, and you get the profile of the printer.
    Now, when printing actual files, 'Photoshop Manages Colors' is utilized, and the created Profile from Eye One is selected.
    We have had great luck with this, matching screen to print.  If a slight tweak is needed, then we could use the Epson color adjustment controls to modify slightly.
    Again, we've had great prints consistently for years using this method.
    Now comes CS5...
    Printing.  Trying to use our existing profile...
    When 'Photoshop Manages Colors' and the Profile are selected, now the Epson color adjustment controls are greyed out.  So, we lose out on the 'tweaking' possibilities.  I'm a fan of profiles, but now i have absolutely no control after the fact.
    Trying to create a new profile....
    'No Color Management' is not longer available as an option in 'Color Handling'.  So, now i can't even print out the baseline testchart without adding some sort of profile to it?  If i would choose 'Printer Manages Color' for this testpage, I would normally set the Epson Color Adjustments to Zero to get this baseline print for profiling.  But now, If I would do that, it's only going to be greyed out when i go back in and let Photoshop manage the colors.  Sheesh...
    To make matters worse...
    I pull up the same testchart in CS3 AND CS5.  We are on a calibrated monitor, using North American Prepress presets on both programs.  Same monitor, same color settings, same file.  AND the testchart looks different in each program.  Similar, but definite differences in shades.  Eyedropper readings are the same for both programs.
    So, CS5 is even rendering color differently on screen, and i have little or no way to create my custom profile or control my printer?  Sheesh....
    Any help or direction is appreciated.
    Rich

    thanks for the input.
    I will look at the links you recommended.  When 'Compensate for Scene-Referred Profiles' is unchecked in CS5, the monitors match.  I'll need to do some research to see that that 'compensation' is, and what's happening.
    As for the 'not considered a good color managed workflow'...
    That's fine.  But I would consider a good managed workflow using a calibrated monitor, and using a profile that matches the printer and substrate being used, right?  When i plug in the canned printer profile in CS5, i get unsatisfactory results.  With that 'correct' workflow, there is no way to modify what is ending up on the printed page.  You get what you get.
    Even if i back up to CS3, create a custom profile with the Eye One, run Colorsync/Profile all the way through, and eliminate the Epson Color Adjustments, I'm still obeying a 'correct' workflow, but what if my prints are slightly too Cyan?  Or slightly too open/light?  (granted, Profilemaker Pro does have a profile 'editor', but it's convoluted and extremely difficult to use.  I've never gotten good results with it.)
    If you have no way to do small adjustments at the back end on the printer, and it's been 'profiled' correctly, and the prints don't match calibrated screen with proper color spaces.... 
    uh....then what do you do?  which one is right?  The screen or the printer? 
    I've had hundreds of images over the years go from screen to client (or press if we were controlling the print phase of the job), which then got printed, and have had basically 'zero' client issues with color.  We have great color here on screen, from capture into post production.
    But when my client wants a proof, in house, they want to see what they've been seeing all day in the studio and in post.  How am I supposed to adjust my prints if a 'proper color managed workflow' isn't giving me matching proofs?
    I sincerely appreciate the input here.  I'm just frustrated, because even if my 'workflow' isn't technically correct, it's not without merits and I've had excellent consistent results that just 'worked'.  Now, i've got to find a new method within CS5.

  • FinalCutServer, Kerberos, and Printing Problems

    Has any one come across the inability to print when Windows Active Directory has Kerberos DES Encryption enabled on user account? Obviously we have a separate domain controller and print server. Users can press print but job doesn't show up to be released in papercut (printing authentication)

    Geoff,
    This sounds like a printer driver issue. Do you have the latest driver software? Have you contacted OCE? Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the driver?

  • Yosemite and CS4 problems

    I have just downloaded Yosemite and now my CS4 won't open, it requires Java SE 6 to be installed but I cannot find any link to download?
    thanks for any help...

    >caused by Photoshop not being able to download from Time Machine
    Time Machine does not work with Adobe programs because it does not properly "capture" the hidden registration files, and without registration the only option is to uninstall and reinstall
    As for the really OLD CS4 and the new Yosemite... Adobe's current software has been updated to work with Yosemite, but old software is no longer updated

  • Yosemite Epson printing problem

    I'm having a problem with my Epson CX 7300. It is plugged in my NetGear Ready Nas and everything was just fine on my MACs (1 Pro and 1 Air), after Yosemite upgrade, the printer stopped printinhg... I'm trying update the driver but in epson site are available just for MAC OS 10.6.X. Any news from Apple? It seems everybody has the same problem with several printers' brands. Anyone has a solution? I already tried reinstall...
    this is the error message
    And this is the system after a fresh printer installation
    Using the epson original program manager, I got the communicate failure

    Adobe blamed Epson drivers for not anticipating CS3's changes. Like they're clairvoyant or something. Their reason was that it was too hard to take into account every printer on the market when writing the new (unasked for) CS3 printing module. A feeble excuse when it comes to Epson pro machinery, though - it is the industry standard, after all.
    Solution? - use CS2 for printing, authored back when Adobe wrote its software to be compatible with existing equipment and drivers, not expecting the world to fall into line with whatever it decided it would do. CS2 works flawlessly with my 7800, CS3 remains a basket case for the same reasons you mention, though checking/unchecking the fine detail box makes no difference. CS3 is erratic - sometimes it works as directed, but then out of nowhere it will suddenly decide to attenuate a pano print.
    We'll see if they get it right with CS4's "improved" printing, but don't hold your breath.

  • OSX, Acrobat Reader 5 and printing problems

    Not sure this is in the right place (possibly should go to the Adobe Reader section) but help needed.
    I have PDFs that look just fine on screen, but when they are printed out, the image is being reduced in size. It is as if there are some margins set someplace (although where, I have no idea) that are over-riding the PDF as it appears on screen. Is this behaviour typical with reader 5? Is there a setting somewhere that will cause the image to be reduced in size? If this is a bug, does anyone know if it is fixed in the Adobe reader range? Is anyone else experiencing this?
    My set up is a Mac G4 sawtooth, with upgraded processor (1.5GHz) and new hard drive running 'out of the box' OSX 10.4.6 (Tiger) with Classic accessing the original OS9 installation on the original hard drive.
    Range of Adobe products running in Classic (PS 5.5, AI 9.2, ID 1.2) from which some of the PDFs originate.
    Old OS9 compatible printer (Epson SP1200) died recently, new printer (Epson SP1400) is only comaptible with OSX, except going via Laserwriter8.
    Problem was present with old printer before it died as well, so OS/printer incompatibility is probably the issue.
    Upgrading to CS3 is an option, but an expensive one, so wish to explore the Portable Document Format option first!

    It cannot be a problem of the installation, because at least Windows 7
    was a fresh install with nothing but Reader additionally installed.
    By the way, what do you mean by "risky", I followed straight the
    documentation from Adobe, where one is allowed to place function calls
    requiring a privileged context.
    Have you any better idea where to place the call to save? It must be
    called automatically, when the User closes the window, no additional
    interaction is possible.
    One other thing is the call to exportXFAData, have you any idea why
    there is a difference in behavior between reader version 7 / 10 and 9?
    I wrote that in version 9 the user entered data is missing.

    However, placing code in the WillClose event is considered risky and should
    be avoided if there are alternatives available.

  • Display and Print Problem with Reader 9.1.x

    hallo
    an external software produced pdf-documents. all of this pdf´s will work with all reader-versions 7 and 8. but with 9.x we have the problem, that the view is not korrekt. letters are not comlpete. this view will also be printed. this error is not on alle text-lines, but some lines show uncompleted letters. the manufacturer say, that is all standard and it is sure that the reader will have the problem :-)  yes surely.
    but maybe the reader is the problem. some ideas?
    the attch file shows the error. it is a label and in the middel of the label: Tamaris-TREND     or with reader 9.x T.......-TREND.
    thanks
    markus

    testing and testing and testing
    here the newest info
    it is not the letter size. small or caps letters.
    i added a new pdf. here under the bold number you must see "581*LAVENDER". but with reader 9.x it looks like the printer cardridge goes empty.
    i´ll go crazy with this sh... :-)

  • Yosemite and print settings

    MacBook Pro 15 " mid 2012 upgraded to Yosemite.
    since I moved to Yosemite printing with programs like Apple Preview and Pages does not work as before with the Mavericks.
    if I open a pdf file with Preview settings are limited:
    if I open the pdf file with Skim or MS Word printing works correctly with the menu and the Layout / Finish can print two-sided:
    nose so I have the impression that the application should be made in Apple searches for the printer to a different folder from the one to which they support the non-Apple applications.
    Who do I solve the mystery and says the solution?
    sorry my English translation.
    emiliano

    I looked on the website and it seems that the drivers Konica Minolta bizhub C253 to Yosemite will be updated in January 2015.
    But I wonder:
    because the same printer works with Word and Skim but does not work with Pages and Preview of Apple?
    I believe that the Apple software go to look for the drivers to a location different from non-Apple software (Words, Skim etc ...).
    sorry my English translation.
