Updated to 10.6.8, now I can't print

This link fixed the issue for me.

http://blog.digitechhosting.com/?p=421

I have a comparable problem with InDesign documents. The only way I can print them is convert to PDF. If you have Adobe Acrobat or other means of converting to PDF, it might solve your problem.

Add one more print shop to the list. We are running a Xerox Docucolor 240 w/embedded Fiery RIP and it is working. Our Xerox Docucolor 260 w/embedded Fiery RIP is now permanently paused. We can send jobs to the 240 and transfer them to the 260 as a workaround. Hope Apple figures this out quickly!

Ok... now I noticed a few things.. after my solution

My App Store us Gone

My Docucolor 12 must be reinstalled in all ways, download drivers, etc

To restore all to 10.6.7

go to

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361

And dowbload Combo 10.6.7

Hope that helps

@headyfrombrigantine, chill out, you sound like an arrogant ****! A spoiled brat does not even sound like you. Obviously your not very technical or savy when it comes to these things, because you have not even mentioned what type of printer you are using. And as for getting more accomplished and making money, being sweet always works best.

If your using a commercial printer or something up there like a printer for your business, you should talk to your IT person. If you don't have an IT person, then you need to go slow, and calm your self down and act a little humble, especially if you want some one else to clean up your problem.

Also some commercial printers don't work if you don't have the latest driver from the printer manufactures web site. Also some printers have an add on chip (very expensive to get if your printer does not have that add on chip for post scripting)

@cm-nzl take a look at these two links...

I don't know how to help you all. I hope you all get your issues resolved... It sounds more like an issue with the printer manufacturer than with Apple. I have no problems with my printer. so I know its not 10.6.8.

Fiery is the brand name of the RIP by EFI. It's a PC that processes incoming print jobs for the Xerox Docucolor 252 that we own.

In more general terms, if your pritner is affected by this issue, see if you can't print to it via some other way - Windows printing, directly submitting files via it's webpage, etc.

I've had the same problem with one of our mac's that was upgraded today--spent half the day trying everything listed above before reading this thread and a thread on Xerox's website. Its strange that we get the message when sending to either a Xerox 4110 or our Xerox Doc 700, but not when printing to our Nuveras. I'll downgrade back to 10.6.7 on Monday -- wasted enough of my day on this---although its interesting to see how many this has happened to and how quickly we all hit the web looking for answers....maybe Apple will move as quickly as we all have and a patch will be available soon!

Same problem here. I installed the 10.6.8 combo on three computers and now none of them can print to our Fuji Xerox network printers.

I have tried resetting printing subsystem, repair permissions, re apply combo, deleted all my printers, reintsalled printer drivers, tried generic printer driver, tried reverting to the previous socket ( /usr/libexec/cups/backend/socket), but NOTHING WORKED.

The problem is still the same. I attempt to print, the job goes into the print queue and the print queue pauses.

It is unusual that all the actions you have tried have not resolved your issue. I was involved with the 10.6.8 seed testing and none of the builds created a problem printing to my Canon copiers that are using EFI (Fiery) print controllers. In fact there were no postings related to printing issues with the 10.6.8 builds so it is possible that Apple engineering is not aware that there is a printing issue (this is a user to user forum) and therefore no fix would be arriving any time soon as some have suggested.

Would you be able to post a copy of a failed print job? Open Console (Applications > Utilities) and click Show Log List (if not already showing) and expand the /private/var/log entry. Under cups you will see error_log. Here you will see the failed print job and the job number (in square brackets). If you copy all entries relating to that print job and paste back here we can get a better idea of what is causing your printing to fail.

This is a possible fix for the printing issue.

...

Launch the Terminal application and copy or drag -- DO NOT TYPE -- the following text into the window:

sudo chmod 755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/*

Sorry to say, I think this would be a waste of time. Did you compare the permissions that worked on 10.6.7 and what appeared after installing 10.6.8? They are the same. Some selected examples based on the backends people are having problems with here:

10.6.7

-rwx------ 1 root wheel 57344 Mar 29 12:19 dnssd

-rwx------ 1 root wheel 106096 Mar 29 12:19 ipp

-rwx------ 1 root wheel 93024 Mar 29 12:19 lpd

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75200 Mar 29 12:19 socket

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 91792 Mar 29 12:19 usb

10.6.8

-rwx------ 1 root wheel 57344 Apr 29 17:45 dnssd

-rwx------ 1 root wheel 106096 Apr 29 17:45 ipp

-rwx------ 1 root wheel 93024 Apr 29 17:45 lpd

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 79328 Apr 29 17:45 socket

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 91792 Apr 29 17:45 usb

I don't have the answer to the problem, but I don't want to send people to the Terminal and have them use any type of sudo command unless there is some basis that the command will solve their problem.

Hi folks,

I too was having problems printing to my HP Colour Laserjet CP1515N, getting the error in the screenshot below.

I read through this thread and found the solution that worked for me was the "repair permissions" script, that is hosted on Lykeios' Geocities page. 🙂

Previous to this, I had uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver and reset the printing system numerous times. I was almost on the verge of doing a clean install and updating to 10.6.7. 😮

I have just called Apple TS in the UK and made them aware of this thread. The young lady I spoke to on the 'phone, "Gill", told me that she would pass on the bug report to the Developer team and they should (hopefully) get a fix out, although she couldn't say for certain when it would be released.

Thanks and Kudos to Lykeios - Your script worked for me. 😀

Regards.

Yay, I have my printer working again!

Fed up with everything, I gave up trying to get it to work over USB. My HP Color LaserJet CP1515n is a network printer, so it also has an ethernet port. I just connected it via ethernet to the AirPort Express. That meant I had to give up network extension, as in that mode the Express doesn't allow ethernet clients. So now it merely joins the existing WiFi network created by my AirPort Extreme.

Printing is back to how it's supposed to work; I'm a happy camper again.

I have 2 Bonjour printers that work just fine --

a CF3102_31C which I have running via a print server on a os x server machine (the server is 10.4.11)

an HP LaserJet 9050

The printer that goes into "pause" instantly as soon as stuff appears in the queue is a Minolta BizHub 920. Here are my console.log messages:

mmm - frustrating... you trashed v2.7 first and reset printer after downloading v2.6?

apologies if that's a bit obvious to you, but this process has been a bit of a revelation to me as someone who has as little to do with software installation as is possible beyond standard updates (until recently)

you should be OK with the Gutenprint driver for now as it seemed to work fine for me, the colour problems I had earlier were a printer problem rather than the driver...

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!

Just got another update from Apple for 10.6.8 and had printer problems again. Every update I have installed for the mac has given me nothing but problems with my Epson printer. Had to reinstall the drivers and used a update patch a friend of mine told me about. The update that you want is in www.apple.com/support under the snow leopard 10.6.8 combo updater. Getting to be annoying Apple, update and then printer problems!!!! Hey tech guys at Apple, get on the ball and get it right.
