Have run applejack, reset printing system & reinstalled printer (FujiXerox 5065II with Fiery RIP), but the print Queue just keeps pausing. The error_log gives this: printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed"
Does anyone have a similar problem or found a workaround?
thanks.

@davidakin,
I'm IT mgr for a Sharp Dealership here in US. The easiest fix is to download the Unix CUPS file from SharpUSA. Unpack to desktop, and open with text edit. In the ppd file, go to the last line (right before the end statement) and add this line:
*cupsSNMPSupplies: False
Place this file in %MacDisk%/library/printers/ppds/contents/resources
Install the printer using lpd, and in "print using dialog" choose other, and a finder window will open. Browse to the location of the modded cups ppd, and doubleclick on it.
The has worked to restore printing with all of out customers.
Also, I have modded a few ppds, and have some detailed instructions with screen shots located on our extranet site located at:
http://www.appalachiamail.com/downloads/MacOs10.6.8PPDs/
Please note that as will any community content, this fix IS NOT endorsed by Sharp or Apple, and needless to say, use at your own risk.
Sorry this didn't work for me
Here the same,
after updating to 10.6.8,
none of the Canon CLCs
via any ColorPass
is able to print
one page.
The last 3 hours I did a lot of work and got nothing.
Tried this script.
With disk utility the permissions.
Reset to the print system.
Still all printers don’t print.
The console says:
25.07.11 14:51:53System Preferences[285]Can't open input server /Users/me/Library/InputManagers/Smart Crash Reports
Time is short.
Why I pressed this button
for that update to 10.6.8?
I used the dmg that vcboy created and that fixed the printing problem for me. Takes about 1 minute. See my post at the bottom of page 20 for the link.
did you try this update from the 20 of July ?
Yup, I tried this, but there is no support for
CLC Colorpass anyway.
This script does not work here.
This does not as well:
/etc/cups/ppd
*cupsSNMPSupplies: False
I try really everything.
But I have to leave the office and eat some ice cream.
Just changed the hole folder
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/
with time machine to an earlier version
This does not work as well.

When you use Canon CLC with Z800 or Z60 do not update to 10.6.8
After trying the hole day to no purpose a lot of what is suggested here.
I will stop and try to go back to 10.6.7
Everyone should check Software Update. Apple has just released Mac OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update that should contain a fix for the problem. This will update the version of CUPS to 1.4.8.
The source code for CUPS 1..4.8 has also been released. See http://cups.org/articles.php?L629
Oh, it prints.
Yet after 10.6.8 Supplemental Update
the printers kept silent.
Attempt to restore System 10.6.7 via time machine,
got This disk does not have enough space to restore your system.
Then emptied half of the disk to no purpose.
Installed 10.6 on top, put on CLC and Apple drivers,
did Fiery Print Driver update for OS X v10.6
It prints the stuff today 2pm sent yesterday 10am.
Im happy.
Make sure networked computers and printer are on same Subnet Mask if printer sharing is not working.
Updated to 10.6.8, now I can't print
