Yosemite printing bugs

Since installing Yosemite on my iMac late 2013 27-inch, my HP 4250 Laserjet Printer will only print Page 1 of any Word document. Reboots, software updates, PRAM fix don't help. Printer will print Web pages correctly from Safari, so the problem is probably
some contradiction between Yosemite and Word. Has this happened anywhere else?

Thanks Rich for the analysis and recommendation.

IPhoto 9.6.1 with Yosemite Printing Issues

iPhoto 9.6.1 with Yosemite was supposed to fix a printing bug that would hang-up a Mac but it actually caused my to start having printing issues (beachball of death). I have tried permission repair and rebuilding the database but that did not work. I did the 9.6.1 update on 20 March 2015. That is when all my printing issues started. I have to resort to putting my pictures on the desktop and printing from the preview app. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try fix the main library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

ATTN APPLE: Serious Aperture Printing Bug for You to know about

I am just starting a new post for Apple to read if they do.
Aperture has a serious printing bug (or 10.4.9 does) whereby my HP 8750 Photosmart ICC Paper profiles are corrupted in some way. Not only do my prints look horrible as in there are just plain wrong color filters in place, but the on screen proofing looks just as bad. The same file and printing setup (and ICC profiles) print beautifully from PS or other apps, so it is definitely an Aperture problem. The Generic CKMY looks ok and if I have the printer do the color management (which shafts me for on screen proofing) it looks good too.
Please refer to the thread "Bad Printing from HP 8750" for more info.
This is a serious bug that has been proven by more than just one user.
Please fix it!

FWIW, I have this problem too, but with an Epson 1800. I could print fine with the demo Aperture, but when I purchased it and entered my serial # I lost the ability to print. I can't change any of the preferences in the pulldowns in the print window. If I do change them they don't stick, even 'till the next time I pull them down. To print I have to have Aperture find the file in Finder, then I open it in ACR and PS and print from there (that works fine).

RGB printing bug still not fixed with 6.0.4

I guess I should not be surprised.
After three major releases of OSX and 20 updates and two major version and 8 updates of Indesign the monitor profile is still being introduced into the RGB printflow.
What the HELL does it take to get this bug fixed?
And, yes I know you can use "Print as Bitmap" or "Fast Graphic Process" in the Canon drivers to work around this problem.
Just maybe if IDCS5 uses the Cocoa print path that PS and LR now use it will be fixed then.

Anyone know if CS5 has fixed/addressed this problem?

When will Mozilla correct the printing bug with Firefox where only 1 page is printed?

There is a problem with FireFox whereby it only prints the FIRST PAGE of many sites.
Searching the web on this, it seems that this problem has been around for a long time and even what the cause is.
Apparently FireFox interprets the html text "overflow: hidden" as meaning to 'hide' all the rest of the page when printing.
Many users have reported this problem, but to date it has not been adressed.
Please correct this Mozilla (Or do I have to go back to using Safari?)

Please go to the following bug and add a comment documenting this problem:
https:// bugzilla .mozilla .org/ show_bug.cgi?id=258397
If more people report this problem, there is a better chance they will fix it.
''Moderator broke the hyperlink. Please don't advocate the spamming in Bugzilla reports, if anything request that users '''vote''' for a Bug that they think should be fixed. That particular Bug is a duplicate of this one - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129941 - which was fixed in 4.0b7.''

Duplex Printing Bug with HP OfficeJet Pro L7680

Well - Duplex printing works but the back page will only print with binding on the top, Binding on the side does not work! Minor bug but still a bug at least with the HP!!

Kev,
A couple of points - assuming your using the HP OfficeJet Printer - I am assuming your connecting it via the Ethernet point which means it is communicating via IP. That being said - here is what I ran into.
When I first added the HP Printer - Leopard wanted to configure the printer via BONJOUR. I went ahead and let it do that - however printing was terrible!!!! I could send jobs to the printq, but the only way they would print was if I turned the printer on/off again - and the the would magically start printing. Then the printer would go "offline" and I was forced to do this same on/off routine.
So - I went back into add printers - and let the dialog box sit there for a little while and all of the sudden the list updated with an HP2A7180 - Kind - IP. I selected this printer and then told it to use the HP driver via the Print Using - drop down selector and my HP has been working fine since (minus the duplex).
Additionally it installed an configuration utility which allows me to monitor inks, settings and such.
Hope this helps - Bill

Yosemite printer driver for Canon Pixma IP3000

This is not so much a question as a solution to getting my old Canon Pixma IP3000 working again after upgrading to Yosemite.
Although the printer is listed, when I wanted to add it I found no software for it from Apple. Phoning Canon they also said they have no software for the IP3000 and Yosemite. To make a long story short, after much trial and error trying out other drivers which were listed on "choose driver" I found that the IP4500 driver can be configured for cassette feed AND duplex and works on Yosemite. Hope this helps someone else to keep some of the older products going in our throw away society!

I just installed that driver on a 10.10 VM and also found that there is no Duplex Print & Margin menu - just Margin.
I then installed it on a 10.8 VM to be sure the lack of the menu was not due to using the 10.8 driver on 10.10. However I found that even on 10.8, there was no Duplex Print & Margin. So it would seem that duplex printing was not an option for the iP3500.
I then checked an alternate driver suite called Gutenprint and added the iP3500 Gutenprint printer. It also did not support the ability to print duplex.
But when I added another printer, this time using the Gutenprint iP3000 driver, there was the ability to print two sided from the Layout menu. So then I thought it might be worth checking if the Canon iP3000 driver also provides a duplex setting, but the last supported OS for this model was 10.6 so I did not even try to install that old driver on 10.10.
Here is a link to the Gutenprint driver if you would like to try that.

Strange CS5 printing bug (reds pumped)

Windows 7 64-bit, CS5 64-bit 12.04, Canon Pro9000 MkII.
Many/most files go back to CS4. I just started printing on CS5. I have a way to work around the bug, but maybe someone from Adobe will see this and duplicate and fix whatever the issue is. I can provide file(s) to duplicate.
I have noticed that CS5 remembers my printer driver settings application wide. I also notice that CS5 saves print settings in each PSD file. This may be contributing to the problem.
I open a file. 16-bit Prophoto PSD file.
I open the print dialog.
The dialog is defaulted to printer color management.
Open the printer settings. Check the settings. The driver settings are correct. Paper, quality, no color management. Click ok.
Now the dialog changes to photoshop manages colors and the profile selected is some generic canon bubble jet profile.
I select the correct profile. A red river paper profile in this case.
Print.
Bad print. The colors with some amount of red in them has the red channel pumped up. Many colors are okay.
Start with a new file (one not worked around).
Open file, change print settings. Close and save file. Open file. Print. Bad Print.
Now the work around.
Start with a new file (one not worked around).
Open file, change print settings. Close and save file. Close photoshop. Open photoshop. Open file. Print. Good Print.
So it seems that my file(s) have some sort of saved print info that is confusing CS5 that persists until the file is saved with current settings and CS5 is closed. I never printed before on this installation so I have no idea what print info could be in the file. I did have a different Canon printer previously installed on this machine but never printed or opened the print dialog in photoshop. Photoshop probably noticed the "default" installed printer even though I never used it.
It is rather annoying to open a file, change print info, close file and photoshop and then reopen for all my files I want to print just to get around this.
-Norman

Have you gone into the "Print Settings" dialog and turned off color matching in the Epson portion of the settings?
Are you running the most recent version of the driver? There is a combination updater to version 7.0 available as the first result at:

PRINT BUG? ADOBE LIVECYCLE DESIGNER 8

Can any one help? I have produced a complex form with many text fields all these fields have the same field properties apart from the field name.
When text is entered in Adobe Reader 8 or Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 it saves to file as it should. The problem I have is that the form cannot be printed off fully. Only some of the text fields print, most remain blank.
This is not just for the text fields but I have also the same problem with some check boxes where some print off and others don't even though on screen all the data and checks can be viewed.
I can only assume this is a bug because it happens to some fields and not others in the same form.
Also I added a PRINT button from the standard menu and this does not appear to do anything when clicked - it just hangs. Anybody got any solutions? Thanks

I've found an answer to my own question.....it was a font issue. When all fields (including check boxes & radio buttons) are changed to Arial everything is fine! Plus don't forget that field properties should be changed to "visible".
The PRINT button issue is still a mystery!

Number of Prints Bug

Using CS5 to process and print photos at a live event I noticed that even though you can specify a number of prints in the print dialog it only ever prints one copy. I tried this several times using both an action that printed and opening a file from Bridge and printing. When I finally gave up and opened a file and just hit Ctrl-P twice to print two copies (leaving the print number at 3 since it was ignoring it anyway) I got six copies! Not only broken but unpredictable. At least CS5 doesn't crash when printing from an action or print negatives like CS4 did but this bug is going to be seriously painful as customers requesting multiple copies of a print occurs about 50% of the time at my events and as I run a complete processing macro, making additional copies means re-opening the file from bridge and printing. Sometimes group shots require 12 or more copies!

As mentioned in the other topics about this same issue: this is a problem with the Windows interface between the new Vista/Win7 printing APIs, and older drivers designed for the older printing APIs.
We are investigating the problem, but don't have an ETA on a fix because we need to work with Microsoft to figure out the whole problem.

Running Yosemite, printing to xerox c75 digital press. InDesign will send a file to the printer, then crashes every time. I know there was a patch for this problem. Where do I find it?

Whenever I send a file to my Xerox C75 from my Mac (Yosemite), the file goes to the printer okay, then InDesign crashes.
I think there is a patch specifically for this issue. Where do I find it?

Yes, I have Fiery Hot Folders Console. That is certainly an alternative that should work as I can then avoid having to choose Fiery Features from the print dialog box in order to choose the paper tray and other features I need.
I am about to try a clean install of OS 10.9.3, and I am not the least bit happy about it. Adobe CC is my main set of go-to applications for my work, and those are the only applications that give me ANY problems with printing. I have forked out real money on different versions since I started using Adobe in the late 1990's, and my troubles seem to increase with every new release.

CS4 printing bug with trifold?

Hello fellow designers,
I'm running InDesign CS4 on a Power PC G5 under Leopard 10.5.8, and using an
Epson Artisan 50 to print. I set up a letter sized, 3-panel brochure using
the feature that allows you to lock "pages" together to make a spread.
Envision three pages, 3.666 inches wide by 8.5 tall, grouped as a letter
sized spread. (Mine actually uses the Page Control plugin to shorten one
panel to allow for proper folding). When I try to print the document, all
that shows up in my print window is the first two panels. What the heck? I
have tried tinkering with it in a number of ways with no success. I wrote
DTP tools and sent them the file, they think it's a bug in InDesign CS4. I
did this in 2009 using CS3 and it worked perfectly, this is the first time
I've tried it in CS4. Does anyone have any clue what's happening here? I'd
be glad to post a couple of screenshots somewhere along with the file, but I
don't know where to post for free with files.
Bill Lomax

Don't know what I was doing yesterday, swear it wouldn't print correctly with this same file. Still shows only two panels in the print preview window, but the entire spread is printed on my Epson. See Michael's explanation below.
From: http://www.listsearch.com/InDesign - Lasso InDesign forum
Make sure the three pages are grouped together in a single spread. In the Pages panel, uncheck
Allow Document Pages to Shuffle (first option in the section).
Check Print Spreads in the first dialog box.
As for the preview, ID only shows two pages in the proxy view.

Yosemite printer problem

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't print to my HP LaserJet 1300. I have deleted and re-added the LaserJet 1300 Series printer driver (version 19.8, the latest one). I have repaired disk permissions. I still can't print. Can anyone suggest a fix?

This is just to let you know that my printing problem has now been solved. Tonight, the App Store made the following update available:
"HP Printer Software Update, Version 3.0"
This update installs the latest software for HP printers and scanners. After installing this update, my Mac can once again speak to my HP printer. I can now print again.
Thanks for your effort to help!

Yosemite performance bug for various online multiplayer games.

Since I upgraded the new OS X YOSEMITE, i've been having problems that i've never gotten before. I usually play DotA 2 in an excellent performance and my FPS would be fine, but since the new update(YOSEMITE) there is a few problems that i have to face.
1.The game keeps on dropping FPS
2.Crashes on random moments but most likely at team fights.
3.Audio bug that can go through apps like Skype.
-It will make a laggy sound and it will effect the mic to become an echo.
4.None of the community seems to take this as a serious matter.
Can anyone at least tell me how to reduce the amount of lag? Or Can the staff fix this problem? I have not played DotA 2 for days because of this.

Kodak/ yosemiti printing

Kodak has driver issue resolved for my esp7 printer

Kodak has posted an unsupported hack that has been reported to enable printing to a Kodak printer not supported in OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"). Perhaps it would have the same effect with some other kinds of printers that aren't supported in Yosemite. I have no information about that, one way or the other.
I have not tested the hack myself, so I can't recommend it. I'm offering it as an option to consider because Kodak is bankrupt and its printing software may not be updated anytime soon, if ever, making the equipment useless to those who keep their operating system up to date.
I don't know all the possible effects of this modification. As far as I know it will not break the compatibility of printing software that is already compatible with Yosemite. It may degrade the security of the web administration interface of CUPS. That interface is not enabled by default, and will not be enabled by the procedure described here. Even if it were enabled, I know of no way it could be exploited, with or without the modification. Nevertheless, if you have enabled the web administration interface, you should disable it if you decide to follow these instructions. If you don't know what the web administration interface is, you haven't enabled it.
If you don't like the results of the procedure, reset the printing system.
