Updated to 10.6.8, now I can't print

Fought with this on a Xerox 7132 Workcentre copier. They have a fix released on their site that worked for me, maybe it will work for you? http://forum.support.xerox.com/t5/Printing/Mac-OS-10-6-8-Update-Problems-with-Fi ery-Driver/td-p/5668/page/4 (Scroll to the bottom of the page for the link)

10.6.8 Supplemental Update didn't fix my networked hp (running under cups on a linux box) didn't fix the optical sound problem either:-\

I no longer can print either. My printer is an HP Photosmart D110. Luckily, the printer is in their ePrint series, so I am able to email a document to my printer and it will print.

I also can no longer do file sharing, screen sharing, iTunes library sharing, etc since I updated to 10.6.8.

I was unable to print on my canon pixma ip 3600 printer connected as network printer to a fritzbox-wlan after 10.6.8 Supplemental Update either.

Here is my proposal as a workaround:

First, uninstall all Gutenprint-drivers of the version 5.2.7; secondly, reinstall Gutenprint-drivers version 5.2.6; after this step recreate your networking printer anew. This way it worked fine on my iMac and MacBook Air.

uninstalled/reinstall gutenprint 5.2.6, still no joy:-( hpij driver doesn't work either...

Hey everyone - after my Epson RX640 stopped printing and trying all the usual fixes etc (with no joy) I read the MacFixIt article here and although the particular fix recommended there didn't work for me it did point me in the right direction to discover my own fix.

It seems to work well and has helped a few others but please try at your own risk if you're not completely sure what you're doing.

Baiscally open the Console utility,

Click 'show log list' if there's no drop down menus at the left,

Then under the drop down menu 'FILES' you should find 'system.log' (click on it) - try to print and look at the latest info.

It should give some idea of what isn't working correctly and in my case showed which file was causing the issue.

For me it's a file named 'IraMW1' - Apple's Epson printer software update 2.7 seems to install a faulty version of this file.

If this is the file that's causing you issues too it's a pretty easy fix if you have a backup from before Apple's Epson printer software update 2.7 (my IraMW1 file that works is dated 3rd December 2009)

To find the file I went to: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/MW/IraMW1.framework/Versions/A/IraMW1

Then simply replaced the new faulty IraMW1 file with the old working one from my backup.

= Printer working again!

My process in a little more detail here

Hope it helps!

HI 7artist7

thansk a lot for your response, I didn't try yet because I have Lion. and I have no old IraMW1, do you think we can echange some informations about this file by private mail ?

I do not manage to find your private e mail.

I have the same print machine and I am very very angry against Epson ...

Thanks a lot

Warren

You're welcome Warren - I agree this is an extremely frustrating situation!

Ok - I don't have Lion yet so 1st thing to check is that it is the IraMW1 file that's causing you the issue - find the 'Console' app in your Utilities folder (Applications / Utilities / Console.app)

Open it up and with 'system.log' selected try printing - if you see information appear about the IraMW1 file then we're on the right track and it's worth trying the old file.

This is the kind of error info you're looking for - as you can see for me it shows an issue with the IraMW1:

iMac24-2 EPSON_Stylus_Photo_RX640[993]: Error loading /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/MW/IraMW1.framework/IraMW1: dlopen(/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/MW/IraMW1.framework/IraMW1, 265): no suitable image found. Did find:\n /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/MW/IraMW1.framework/IraMW1: truncated mach-o error: segment __LINKEDIT extends to 148880 which is past end of file 148872

As always please be very careful when moving files around or replacing them!

thanks a lot

I will try this evening, I am not at home.

But how can I do to change and to replace the old file ? I do not have this old file ! ...Pity....

thanks

Do you think we can send it by e mail ? it' s probably a stupid question !!

Glad to help with the info - as I said lets first check if it is the IraMW1 file..

To email me check my profile.

I want to thank a lot the7artist7 because it works for me !!

7A7 you are a Heroe !

Thanks from France

Warren

That's great news - you're welcome! 🙂

Add me to the growing list of unhappy Mac users having printing problems. I have tried every fix known to man kind and have spent probably a good day on it so far with no luck what so ever.

When we got the iMac the printer setup and worked no problem what so ever. As the updates roll in the printing no longer works.

I have a checked the logs tried the fixes above ..downloaded from Apple 1.1 fix 😟 nothing works for me. Edited config files you name it basically i have tried the **** lot.

Am trying to hook up thru smb if it makes any difference as the printer is on a Win 7 64 bit machine. Its on the same windows workgroup but am unable to see the imac from the network list anymore where before I could.

Just a tad dissapointing Apple I must say ...... 😟

Same problem here. I updated to 10.6.8 and now I can't print. Boo. This stinks. And in the same week I'm having trouble with the iTunes Store with a purchase problem. Frustrating to be an Apple fan boy right now.
