Nov 5, 2014 4:55 PM in response to Robert36340by marcomarchant,Hi,
Initial issues are gone with at least 1 printer at work. I print through Windows Server because that's what the IT guys want Mac users to do. I use Spoolss and insert the smb address of the printer with the usual "%20" at every space. I've had to do a fresh install and add every printer one by one. The printers are Kyoceras and Konica Minoltas. I've installed the latest drivers, some which are not showing to be updated for Yosemite.
Initially, the printers would not print even after Resetting the Printing System. A dialogue box would appear showing "Connecting" but eventually would come up with the print job stuck and the printer paused.
I hope this helps someone. I think the best bet is to do a fresh install. Even after transferring the user from Time Machine gave me the same issues.

Nov 5, 2014 5:21 PM in response to Robert36340by 4tundra,Was using an HP p2015 laser printer on wired network .. Which is fast and reliable but is an older model. When I upgraded from Mavericks it just stop working ...it did not need an HP driver to run on Mavericks .. It just saw it on the network and automatically loaded the appropriate drivers, printer is working fine from my Windows machines and android tablets, So it's not the printer...... HP does not show any driver available for anything newer than 10.6.....
There are printer issues all over the Internet about Yosemite. Is it the user in all these cases or is it apple's screwup? This isn't the Windows 3.1 era, printer drivers should not be this big of a deal

Nov 5, 2014 5:38 PM in response to marcomarchantby Henry Spindler1,Just had a long talk with the people at Samsung. They have new firmware for most of their printers. My M2870 laser now works with OS 8.1. However,they still do not have an answer for Yosemite. According to the rep I talked to, there will probably be new drivers coming out, but no word on when as yet.I told them my main concern was that they realized there is a problem and that they are working on it. With regard to OS 8.1, my iPads take about 30 seconds before they start to print as compared to three seconds with 7.1 I guess we'll just have to keep checking the printer makers support sites for updates. What a mess.

Nov 6, 2014 6:53 AM in response to Robert36340by joe.weston-super-mare,Hello Everyone
I have just installed Yosemite and have since been unable to print on my Kodak ESP 5250. It appears to be accepted on the Kodak Homecenter in that it shows the ink levels but as soon as you print something it comes up with the message driver error. I have emailed Kodak about this and the reply is below-:
Thank you for your e-mail to Kodak and question about Kodak AIO Home Center software for your Macintosh Operating System 10.10.
From the description provided it appears that Yosemite is the latest version on Mac which is 10.10.
Our latest software is compatible up to MAC OS X 10.9.x, MAC OS X 10.8.x, MAC OS X 10.7.x, MACINTOSH OS X v10.6.x, MACINTOSH OS X v10.5.x
Note: We are currently experiencing a compatibility issue with the latest printer software (Kodak AiO Home Center) and Yosemite Operating System 10.10.
Our research and development team is working on it to fix the issue. Once we get any update from the concerned team, you will receive the update.
We really appreciate for your patience and understanding.
So if you're on Yosemite at present we have to wait for Kodak to issue a software update for it.
Hope this helps.
Joe

Nov 6, 2014 8:20 AM in response to joe.weston-super-mareby General Mischief,Experiencing the same problem...
Lexmark X560n, worked just fine in Mavericks, but now nothing.... Lexmark states the don't do the drivers for Apple, Apple do their own drivers.
Just getting the "Printing - Printer is busy" message.

Nov 6, 2014 9:04 AM in response to General Mischiefby John Blanchard1,Lexmark is wrong. Apple doesn't write the Lexmark drivers.
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support
doesn't show that printer as supported.

Nov 6, 2014 11:19 AM in response to Robert36340by annefromsaratoga springs,After updating to OS X Yosemite 10.10 my Canon MX 310 Series "all in one" prints and copies but does not scan. Everything worked fine before this update. I went to Canon and downloaded ICA driver 3.3.4. It still doesn't work. The message is "no camera or scanner detected". I can not use the scan button on the printer - or do a scan using Image Capture.
I am "adding" to your request for a "fix" or just an answer.

Nov 7, 2014 4:25 PM in response to Robert36340by Malcolm Fuller,Last night, after upgrading I discovered that I could no longer duplex print under Yosemite. I have a Epson Workforce 840 multifunction. Didn't really look into the issue much until this evening when I found this post. When I read that restarting helped, I remembered that my apartment complex had a forced/mandatory power outage, which is nothing more than a forced restart on my Mac Mini. Lo and behold, my ability to duplex print is restored. So try a restart.

Nov 10, 2014 11:23 AM in response to Alex SFGiantby John Blanchard1,This is a sandboxing problem caused by the Dell driver - they don't have permission to make a temporary file where they are trying to make it. Dell needs to update their driver, but you could try the "sandboxing relaxed" workaround here:
