Error opening of component preferences printers and scanners

I just tried to print for the first time since upgrading my operating system - now OSX Yosemite.  Now, my system does not recognize my printer and when you try to enter the section breeders & Scanners of system preferences I am has encountered an error "can't load Printers & Scanners preferences Pane".  It's crazy and very UN-Mac-like... help...

Thank you.

May be a corrupt .plist.

Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

Quit the application.

Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferencescom.apple.systempreferences.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

Thanks to leonie for certain information contained in this.

  • Previously, work job FTP in the batch file gives message "error opening script file.

    I have two FTP jobs on two separate machines that I've been running as tasks scheduled for a few years with success.  They are on the same network, but we're on the field, the other is out of the field.  Both are Windows XP SP3.

    Starting this week, two of them fail when you try to load the actual script FTP file.    Here is an example of the ftp command that I use: FTP d - n-i-s:C:\scripts\getmyfiles.txt

    The message says "Error opening C:\scripts\getmyfiles.txt" and displays help FTP.  I should also mention that the FTP seems to work fine if I connect from the command prompt, and does not use a script file manually.

    Both of these batch files containing similar (different but calling script files) FTP commands were executed the week last successfully.

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

  • Receive no printers installed error when you try to print. There is still printers, and one has been defined as the default value.

    We have seen an increase in the number of calls from customers indicating that when they try to print from Outlook 2007 (Windows XP SP3 + all updates), they receive an error indicating that there is no installed printer.  However, they have not only more than one printer installed, but they also have a default printer set.  Restart the print spooler solves this problem, but it is not clear what caused its all first.  When we stop and possibly restart the spooler, we notice that for a while, it crashes when stop and the following appears in the event viewer:

    Related to this, last week we received a number of calls from users telling us their machines suspended once during the logon process to enter their credentials.  Even 20 minutes of waiting does not solve the problem and restart the machine took care of her.  We have a long login script so I added the lines that surround and inside the different functions, calls, WMI queries etc. within a specified period that he might be the cause of the problem.  Turns, when the script got to the point where he enumerated the list printers, he hung the machine.  (The code below at the bottom.)  Once this comment out code, users were connecting to fine, and the same timeout error preceding appeared in the login script.  What gives!

    Sounds to me as we have a problem of possible spooler, but outside the removal & time printers and their drivers, I'm not sure where to look, or why it affects only a small percentage of our population and more importantly again, suddenly.  I'm open to suggestions.

    I don't think it's a virus.

    I don't know what to do, I tried restores system, right click and run as administrator, I did ensure that allows the firewall thing and completely uninstall and reinstall.

    If you know a way to solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

    Delete all files in the temp folder and see if you still receive the error.

  • error code while trying to open the photos include JPEG and BMP files: C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures\img005.jpg is not a valid Win32 application

    I withdrew just a very good old scanner which apparently couldn't handle the recent installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3, and went with a rather nice Epson V330 Photo.   I uninstalled all old software, want my images to JPEG and BMP to open in Adobe PhotoShop Elements 8 for editing and development.  It is my job and my hobby and means of photography technique.  I reinstalled the scanner by removing the Arcsoft software with which it has been furnished, which is not really suitable for what I do.

    Now, I can not open JPEG in PhotoShop Elements 8.0 and here I get the error message:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures\img005.jpg is not a valid Win32 application

    It seems to have something to do with the hack with the folder options after that I spilled the Arcsoft as any kind of primary program.

    BUT I have to open JPEG files, and it MUST be in PhotoShop Elements 8, I bought.  I can see, overview and could open to the limited capacity of some of the ArcSoft stuff, but I'm not interested in distance using that.

    How can I get these files/folders to open in something useful?  I was able to create JPEG on the new scanner, but now my computer opens not those or 'old' of my files.   See the warning message.

    I'm trying to uninstall all the software now and do not reinstall the stuff of Arcsoft, which would not be useful for me in any setting.   But I do not think that this will be the solution, as my computer can not open these key files in PhotoShop Elements 8.0.

    I think it's something I did during the passage, but I did system restore and NO RESULT.  NONE!

    If you open a directory of photos and go to the thumbnail view in Explorer, they display the thumbnails correctly?
     
    I think that you need to reset the file association for programs that open the image files.  Try a right-click on a jpeg file and go to properties and click on the button to edit, and then designate PS elements 8 as the top program open with, and then see if it works very well.
     
    You can also check the settings in the registry for the types of image files.  Seewww.oehelp.com/noimg.aspx , which deals with a related issue.

  • How can I remove the Administrative Tools, network connections, printers & Fax and scanners and cameras my desktop icons?

    Recently, I installed a trial version of Tune Up Utilities 2009. During one of the scans/tune-ups, he gave me the option to display the Administrative Tools, network connections, printers & Fax and Scanners & cameras icons on my desktop. I checked ok, however, now, I think it's too crowded in my office and you want to remove them... right on the desktop, not everywhere else they are located. I tried everything I know to remove them without success. Anyone knows where is the menu option to display on the desktop so I can uncheck or choose Delete? I don't want to have to change all the .ini files or .bat to because I'm afraid I don't do it correctly and create other problems.

  • There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    Greetings,

    I searched the forums, and this mistake has been examined in the context of how to treat a damaged PDF file.

    My question is a little different. The company that I am working has a tool to create what we call "knowledge base articles", i.e. product XML authoring with us help topics. They used this tool from 2008. Files can be attached to a topic. The XML files and attached PDF files is stored in a SQL database. Using the TOC Panel or the search function, relevant topics are retrieved.

    When there is an attached PDF, users can view the PDF in the browser or download the file and open it locally.

    The knowledge base has been moved from an environment of database SQL 2005 in Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6 for an environment database of SQL 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.

    Now that we have the following problem: in some subjects the downloaded PDF can't be opened and one error

    "There is an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired. "is displayed. The curious is that some PDF files published this error, while others open without a problem. Source file all PDF files open without a hitch before they are downloaded.

    Any advice or pointers would be very appreciated.

    TIA, Donna

    Donna,.

    as you have probably read in a lot of discussions on this matter, this error message is usually correct, and the PDF file is damaged. As for how it gets damaged, it's something you need to know by poking around in your system. Here are a few general things that always apply when working with corrupt files:

    The first thing I would do is open such a file corrupted in a text editor such as NotePad to see what it actually contains. Any valid PDF file must begin with '% PDF -' followed by a version number. If you don't see that in the first line, then you are not dealing with a PDF file and you know why you do not get the file saved in your knowledge base.

    If this string is there, then you know that there a PDF file and the issue is somewhere in this file, and is where it gets much more complex. You will need a good understanding of the PDF specification to parse the file to see what is wrong with him.

    If you're lucky, you'll actually have a file of length zero (which means also no PDF header). No valid PDF file cannot be zero bytes long. Your second chance case would you find in fact an HTML error in this file (instead of PDF content), that tells you the reason for the problem (but again, this depends on your system).
