Printing problem for Xerox 7328 - /var/spool/log/errors.log has "

This queue formerly worked. Don't know what happed.


Things I've tried:


1) Installed various Xerox Drivers, both with Xerox support and without.

2) Create a queue (Generic Postscript) I have been able to print to the Xerox 7328 from other macintocsh G5s.

3) Ran Disk Utility --> Repair Permissions & Disk Verify on the problematic MACINTOSH G5

4) Performed "RESET PRINTING SYSTEM" via the Printer Utility Application & via the Option key & "+" sign, neither fixed the problem.

5)Created test print queue via the 'lpadmin -

I AM CURIOUS IF ANY OF THE "MACINTOSH" GURUS CAN FIGURE THIS OUT. ME MYSELF, I AM THINKING OF RELOADING IT, BUT WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ????


WHOEVER NEEDS A BRAIN TEASER AND IS UP FOR THE QUEST.....I CHALLENGE YOU TO IT ! (YES, I SICK OF THIS PROBLEM AND MY NECK HURTS ;_)




The underlying messages in /var/spool/log/errors.log shows the following;

Mac OS X: About the Reset Printing System feature ...


http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341?viewlocale=en_US


10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8 instructions...


In System Preferences>Fax & Print, Right click or Control+click on the Printers list Sidebar, choose Reset Printing System.

if you hold option and click the "-" tab it resets the printing system.


http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.


Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.

Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X 10.5.x+++

  1. To use the Reset Printing System feature in Mac OS X 10.5.x, follow these steps:
  2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
  3. Choose Print & Fax from the View menu.
  4. Control-click on list of printers on the left side of the window, then choose "Reset printing system" from the contextual menu. If you don't see a list of printers, Control-click on the text "Click + to add a printer or fax" and select "Reset printing system..." As an alternative, if you currently have one or more printers listed, you can Option-click the "-" (Remove printer) button.

Ok. First, thanks for you help ! I followed the Safe-Boot procedure & Reset Printing System and on the surface (again) it would appear to have done what it is suppose to, Zapp all printers, not sure what else that is suppose to get rid of as drivers are still there afterward. After rebooting, downloaded the Xerox 10.4 drivers (this machine is running 10.4.11). Before I installed the Xerox drivers. I first created a simple print queue using the printer IP (192.168.3.7) and selecting 'generic Postscript' for the driver. Also, set /etc/cups/cupsd.conf - debug level from "info" to "debug2". Rebooted. Can print to some printers, but not the printer in question. CAN I COPY from another MACINTOSH (10.4.11), the entire /etc/ directory, would this cover it ? I see "CLASS" errors , "unable to load". Tried to print to the "Generic" and it failed. From my experience, this is a tell-tale , if this don't work , the Xerox drivers won't work , thus didn't go any further. Here is the Error logs


(when it WAS working) and Now.

OK, look in this path to see why classes.conf or the cups folder doesn't exist...


In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to...


/private/etc/cups


Couple of longs shots, but while we're here...


Mac OS X: Cannot print, use Classic, start file sharing, burn discs, or update software if /tmp missing...


http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21161?viewlocale=en_US


To avoid these issues, you guessed it, you shouldn't delete the /tmp symbolic link from the Mac OS X volume.


If /tmp is missing, it's easy to make a new one by following these steps:


Mac OS X 10.3 or later


Recreate the missing /tmp link by using the Disk Utility application to repair permissions on your Mac OS X startup volume.


Also, sometimes in Sys Prefs>Sharing, renameing the Computer without spaces or strange charachters works.

Another observation is , no matter what service (IPP, lpd, PCL) we use, the first time we print to the NEW queue, it responds with "xxxSERVICE NAMExxx has stopped responding with status 86!" , no matter what service.
