Yosemite OSX screwed my Printer!

I just upgraded to Yosemite yesterday.
Before answer, I will tell you that I am already searched and doing so many stuff to bring my printer back again.
>> I have repaired Permission using Disk Utilities
>> I also updated the EPSON Driver "EPSON Stylus Photo R230" to current version
>> I have reset the printer settings.
BUT my printer keep saying Communication error. I could not even do anything to print test page, calibrate printer, clean printer head etc.
Here is my printer status and details.
Finally I documents I am trying to print out will stay like this forever even my printer says idle.
Please help, this is unacceptable. How I am supposed to do? I can't work.

Now I'm in a dark moment.
Printer doesn't respond to anything now. I can't open the service to check the status.
It says service unavailable. I can't re-add as well.
Hopefully I did backup all of the files I deleted. I am just don't what to do with them.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I can't print on Okidata c5150n

After upgrading to Yosemite, I can't print on Okidata c5150n. Oki is of no help. I am connected by ethernet.

For those trying to use an Oki C5150n printer with OS X Yosemite, the fix is now available. One must use the driver for the Oki C5800Ldn printer from the Oki support page because the Yosemite compatible driver does not yet appear on the page for the C5150n. However at Oki customer support's direction I have loaded and used this driver, and so far it is working just fine. To download the driver use the link at the end of this comment and navigate to the OS.X.10 download option under "find a driver". Be advised that one must remove the Oki printer from the list in the "Printers and Scanners" system preference window and then re-create it de novo after installing the new driver as the old one will not work. Unfortunately this means that any documents left hanging in the print queue prior to installation of the new driver will be lost.

Good luck to all!

Crash when opening Yosemite OSx installer and Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS6

Does anyone have any suggestions on what's going wrong?
Thanks.

I have the exact same problem, also running OS X Machericks 10.9.5 on a Mac Book Pro, would be really helpful to understand how to fix this error.

Iphoto 09 and yosemite osx

I'm running maverick and iPhoto 09 (8.1.2 build 4.2.4). I have 2 photo libraries. (45GB and 28GB)
Thinking of upgrading to yosemite osx.
Tried to update the iPhoto to version 9.6 but it says "iPhoto can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because OS X version 10.10 or later is required."
Question:
- will my iPhoto version work if i just upgrade maverick to yosemite anyway? if it's not compatible, what do i need to do?
- I might buy a new macbook and configure a fresh setup, probably install an iPhoto build 9.6 while awaiting the new photos app for yosemite next year. If i do this, can i import the photo libraries that i have into the new iPhoto build 9.6 app?

I want to be sure I understand, if I go ahead and successfully install Yosemite, I can THEN go and purchase this 9.6 version of iPhoto if I choose to and it will convert my photos?
Yes.
I am also wondering about this new Photos app that will be out at some point and maybe I should just wait for that to be out before upgrading to Yosemite; I'm in no hurry, maybe then I won't have to pay for any upgrade to iPhoto at all?
I see a question mark but can't find a question there
If I backup & save my entire iPhoto library somewhere will I be able to import it elsewhere later?
Sorry that one is not clear to me. You should have a back up anyway. What do you mean by 'elsewhere'?
Or maybe I should just pick & choose what I want to save & store it all in Flickr or something like that? (I already have tons of these same photos in Dropbox)
Maybe...

I upgraded to Yosemite OSX 10.10.1 and most of the the favicons disappeared in favorites folders.

I upgraded to Yosemite OSX 10.10.1 and most of the the favicons disappeared in favorites folders. So much slower to find folders.

Returning to Mail Preferences - Junk Mail, in the section
When junk mail arrives:
select mark as junk mail but leave it in my inbox
This should then give you the opportunity to mark it as Not Junk
and after several days it may improve.
I say 'may improve', based on my experience of when I upgraded to 10.5 a few years ago. It took a while to learn what I kept insisting was not junk. It is a slow learner but it got there.
P.S. When you are satisfied it is identifying junk reasonably accurately, you can change the Preferences setting back to 'Move it to the Junk mail box'

Since we upgraded to OSX Maverick our printer is printing very slow. Anyone know what I should do?

Since we upgraded to OSX Maverick our printer is running slow. We have reinstalled the printer. We have an Epson Stylus NX420 printer. It makes copies fine it is just when we try to print something that we have a problem.

What part of the printing process is slow? Does it take a long time for the print dialog to appear after select File > Print, or does it take a long time after pressing the Print button for the job to start printing?
Since you mention upgrading to Mavericks, some users have found that a reset of the printing system resolves their printing issues. Note that this action will remove all devices from the Printers & Scanners preference pane. So you will need to add the printer or scanner again after performing the reset.

How do I restore text erased from a .txt document, named and saved frequently, and on Yosemite OSX?

How do I restore text erased from a .txt document, named and saved frequently, and on Yosemite OSX?

1. I have no reason to doubt it, the task is pretty simple.
2. You should realise that these are not rewrites but progressions. PDF 1.7 adds just a little to PDF 1.6, and so on. Early versions of Acrobat would always update the version number to the latest version, whether or not they needed to do so. More recent versions have got smarter. Sounds as if XI is smarter still and is writing the version number actally needed rather than just the highest number it knows. People have strange ideas about PDF version numbers and sometimes want to do things like "open and save in the latest version" but this is not just useless but meaningless.
3. In many cases the first line of the PDF contains the version number (but not the extension number), but this need not be accurate as a later piece of information (much later and harder to find) can override it.

Cannot load printer driver -- direct USB to HP Laserjet 1020. OSX finds the printer, but "Print Using" will not accept the driver. I downloaded from HP, installed the DMG and PKG. Things looks OK, but Print Using: won't accept the driver. Please help !

Sorry for the long title -- I am new to this forum.
This should be SIMPLE -- just trying to get old Mac G4 desktop to print on directly attached (USB) HP Laserjet 1020.
Several online sources say the HP drivers for Laserjet 1022 work fine ...
I deleted all printers, installed the HP drivers (all prompts indicate it is installed fine), re-connected the printer by USB. OSX recognizes the printer and auto-populates its name in the Name: box, puts "desktop" in the Location: field ... and the Print Using: field is gray, saying "Please select a driver or printer model"
I click the arrow to expand options, choose Other ... and get a selection box for identifying the driver. I open the folder with the PKG file and click it ... and then find myself back at the printer setup with the the Print Using: field still gray, and still saying "Please select a driver or printer model."
I have tried this process a half-dozen times with re-starts in between --- cannot get past this sticking point -- aargh !
Any advice would be welcome. Thank you !

Hi, no apologies needed, the new forums are the worst iteration so far!
Anyway, getting old here, but I think I have an hp 1022 at work that works fine in 10.3, 10.4, & 10.5.
Try this & let us know the outcome...

please can anbody help or advise?

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
Calibrating Your Aperture System

Yosemite iCal no longer prints Day with Date for 1 day printout.

Previous to v10.10, when printing an iCal single day calendar (Monday, Tuesday, etc...) by default it would print (for example) Friday, October 10. Yosemite iCal now only prints: October 10, omitting the day of the week.
Is there a way to get the day-of-the-week back?
Thnx

Thanks Rockedge but the preferences switch still leaves the DAY of the week missing before the MONTH and Numeric Date.
The old way and now desired printout: Monday, October 27
Now its just: October 27
The hope is to return the MONDAY back in the print version...
My sarcastic but working fix is the Print to PDF, edit add day of the week, print, throw away...
I know there's a generation of programmers up at Apple who just can't conceive why someone would actually want to "Print" something, but there are...
Many thanks for your suggestion though...

Java update yosemite osx 10.10

Hey Gang-
I'm having the dickens of a time finding the right update for this java thing.
I end up at the java sight and they have a billion different versions with
different kinds of version even.
Any help would be awesome.
I have Yosemite OSX version 10.10
Thanks y'all.
Trevor

It really depends on what you need it for (Apple seems to be discouraging use of Java as their systems progress).
If you're a Java developer, depending on what IDE you use, you'll probably need the legacy SE runtime available from Apple's site: Java for OS X 2014-001. This is for Java 1.6 only. If you require a later version, you can download Java from Oracle's website: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.h tml. The download you want is in the first table probably, for Mac OS X x64.
Let me know if that helps!

Help! Yosemite OSX mystery...

I upgraded to Yosemite OSX and suddenly my Adobe Audition is nowhere to be found. What is the solution for this?

uninstall if you can find and run the uninstaller, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and reinstall.

Yosemite OSX & EOS

Hello, I recently upgraded my Macbook Air to Yosemite. Now my EOS utility for my Canon Kiss X2 is not available and I know that I can go and download an update from the Canon site (selecting the one for the Mavericks OSX). Here is the problem: It asks for the Serial number of the camera - which is on the bottom of my camera printed in dark letters in the light colored box. I enter the serial number and then I get the message that it isn't valid. I am going to need to use my camera in the next few weeks, so really need to get the updated version. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks to everyone in advance.

Nevermind, I figured it out - all is well.

10.9.1: Mail 7.1 screws up Print layout / formatting

Mail 7.1 in Mac OS X 10.9.1 screws up the layout of Messages you try to Print.
The two most common symptoms are that:
1) Blank space is inserted after the Headers and before the first line of the body of the message, so that the body of the message starts on the 2nd page. These are apparently blank lines (not a Page Break) because if you reduce the scaling below 100% the body of the message starts to show on the bottom of the 1st page, but still with a large chunk of bogus, blank space between it an the headers. And,
2) Extra blank pages are printed at the end of the message. This could be 1 to several blank pages. The number of extra blank pages is constant for each message, but differs between messages. These DO appear to be Page Breaks -- not simply a large chunk of blank lines.
These problems happen regardless of which printer is selected -- even happening if you Print via "Save As PDF".
These problems are NOT cured by Resetting the Printing System and then re-installing the printers.
For problem (1), the error seems to be uniquely associated with the use of "US Letter" Paper Size -- and only when used in Portrait orientation. If you switch to Landscape orientation, or if you use Portrait orientation with either US Legal Paper Size (which is larger) or A4 Paper Size (which is smaller) the bogus blank space after the Headers goes away.
However, problem (2) is NOT altered by switching either Paper Size or orientation. You still get the same number of bogus, blank pages at the end.
So far, I've only seen problem (1) when attempting to print Messages saved in my Sent folder. Problem (2) appears both with messages in the Inbox and Sent folders.
These problems only ever appear when the Message is printed. Messages viewed on screen have no such issues. The print formattting problems appear regardless of whether you Print the Message directly from the list of Messages in the Mail folder, or if you first double click on the Message to open it in its own window and THEN Print it.
Note that I have "Organize by Conversation" *NOT* selected in the view menu, so Reply and Forward messages include the prior text attached at the end -- forming one, longer Message. However, both problems (1) and (2) are exhibited on Messages which are comprised of a single Message *AND* Messages which included embedded text from prior Messages in their Reply or Forward chains. NOTE: Problem (1) only seems to show between the FIRST Headers and the start of the Message body -- not between any embedded Headers and the following text of their attached, Reply or Forward content.
Both problems also show both on Messages with attachments and Messages without attachments.
Has anyone found a way to cure these two problems?
Of course you can workaround problem (2) by adjusting the Print dialog to only print the non-blank pages. And you can kinda sorta work around problem (1) by selecting a Paper Size other than US Letter and then making judicious application of scaling in the Paper Handling sub-portion of the Print dialog, but these are manual steps you need to do DIFFERENTLY for EACH Message you want to print.
Deep sigh....
--Bob

I should add that these Print formatting issues do *NOT* show on every Mail 7.1 message in Mavericks 10.9.1.
So far, I've not been able to ferret out just what it is about a Message that cause Print formatting to screw up. Things I believe I've ELIMINATED include:
1) Newly created Messages vs. old Messages.
2) Messages with or without attachements
3) Messages with or without signatures
4) Messages which include prior Messages in a Reply or Forward string, or not (i.e., single, original Messages)
5) Mesages with multiple recipients or not or with CC: recipients in the Header or not.
However this problem is by no means "random". Any Message that shows one of the Three Problems I've detailed above will exhibit that Problem every single time you try to Print it. Any Message which Prints cleanly, will continue to Print cleanly every time as well. So there is SOMETHING about the data in the failing Messages which is triggering this problem.
One new behavior I've noted is that for some Messages a new notice appears on screen -- briefly -- the first time you try to Print them. It appears so briefly that I may have the exact text wrong, but it is something like "Generating Print Content". I'm beginning to suspect the Printing problems show ONLY on Messages that need to go through that "extra step" the first time you try to Print them. But I don't know what that Message implies -- i.e., is there a new, "printable" file being generated by Mail specific to that Message which might persist across different Print attempts? If so, the error may be due to how THAT file is created.
This new notice only seems to appear the FIRST time you try to Print a Message -- and evidently not on every Message (or pehaps it is so brief on some Messages that I just don't see it).

Hp laserjet pro p1606dm with yosemite with usb wont print but printed on a network

hp laserjet pro p1606dm with Mac Yosemite using a USB wont print. Printed however when used on a network. Downloaded a driver again, though driver already installed. Driver was a dmg file and wouldn't open. Forum told me to use Safari to open a dmg file but that didn't work. Help! Want to use the printer at home that I was using at the office.

Hi @soneighbor ,
I understand that you are having issues printing from a USB connection, but you were able to print by a Wired Network connection. I will certainly do my best to help you.
The drivers for 10.8 are installed by the Apple Updates.
Once the printer is connected by a USB cable directly to the Mac, you should be able to just run the Apple Updates to install the drivers automatically. Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update.
Delete any of the older drivers first.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet P1606dn)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing again.
If you run into any issue, please do the following:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.
If you are still having any issues, download and install the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
