Printer PowerBook G4 problems

I have a powerbook G4 OX 10.4.11, which was very good printing with an Epson Stylus NX420.  One day last week the Epson printer had disappeared from my list of printer.   I tried to add the printer via the dialog boxes in the system preferences/printers and faxes.  I know that cables and usb ports are fine, because the computer detects that it is connected to the printer.  The Espon Stylus printer appears in the dialog box "printer browser".  When I click it, the name of the printer is displayed at the bottom of the box as well as the location (my computer).  But it behaves as if it is not a driver loaded.  I tried to load the driver again, with a bit of luck.  I also bought a Canon printer that it compatible with Tiger OS 10.4.11 Powerbook.   I downloaded the printer driver for this printer as well and tried to add this printer through the system preferences/printers and Fax, but it made no difference.  The computer will recognize that it is connected to the printer, but does not act as if the driver is loaded and will not add the printer to the printer list.  Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

You seem to have made the right diagnosis. Maybe you missed something.

  • Printing and ink problem

    Hello. I have a HP LaserJet CM1312MFP series (which has included c.t.). It is connected to a Windows XP computer. However, since it is a network printer, anyone on the network can access it. The printer is had problems for some time now, and he treats the ink does not spread outside in the front tray, as well as other printing problems. Whenever I want to print, the first page it prints is a page of nonsense with alternating black and white lines parallel. After the first pages of one or two, it stops - and can return to normal after that. The ink was spread outside, on the front and the back, while change us the black and white cartridge when he asked us to. We hardly if ever printed in color, but for a long time, the cartridge color reversed into the machine, and if you want to open it, you can see the ink in the printer.

    We were unable to solve this problem on our own, we decided to check out the forum for solutions.

    I'm sorry, but to get your question more exposure I suggest posting in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to Commercial Forums of LaserJet HP.

  • VM Acrobat printing and printer... problems?

    I've been printing without any problem of my VM but it has just stopped working. I have Acrobat Pro and HP Photosmart D7260 installed on my host machine and connected via NAT to my VM Windows XP Pro. When I print, I get text "garbage." I looked around and I noticed that it seems to be a recurring problem. I followed each thread and a blog that I could find. I still have no luck, so I post here. I'm almost possitive is an errors of communication between computers and printers. Is there something I can do? I would be happy if I only get Acrobat to work. I am very experienced with Windows and very good with OSX10.5. Little or no hand-holding.

    If you know what I've done: I have repeateadly rebooted the virtual computer. the VM and the host; the Modem, router, machines and HP printer. Always the same. I went to bridged and installed the printer with Hello. I had the same type of orders very.

    My configuration:

    Fusion 2.0.1 - with VMware Tools

    Mac Pro OS X10.5

    Windows XP Pro

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 on my Mac

    HP Photosmart D7260 USB to an Airport Extreme connection

    NAT network

    No printer driver installed in the Windows XP VM

    Thank you guys so much!

    Removed double wire.

    I'm not clear on how the client connects to the printer. You mention that no drivers are installed in the guest - are you using Fusion impression passthrough (e.g. under the VM settings, printers is enabled) or another method?

    Have you tried to reinstall Fusion (this will not affect your virtual machines) and then restart the host?

  • HP Officejet 8600 more print and scan problems

    Hello

    I had my HP officejet 8600 more for 2-3 years and always had problems following and just kept reinstalling the drivers as a quick fix. I am now starting a business from home and I have no time to deal with printing and scanning the questions and, of course, my warranty has expired! My operating system is OS X version 10.9.4.

    When I scan to my computer, the printer indicates "not found computer." The status of my mac is no different than when I scanned a document a few days ago! Remove and reinstall the drivers solves this problem temporarily but I want it fixed permanently.

    In addition, when printing, sometimes a page can print immediately and at other times, it may take 5-10 minutes to print even if its status is 100% full in the print queue - even once, reinstall the drivers is a quick fix but I want a permanent solution.

    Any help to solve these problems would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much...

    Hello Hello!

Please take the time to click the button of "acceptable Solution", while others may see this post and they can get a fix quickly. Also if you want to say 'Thank you' click 'Bravo '. I would really appreciate one or both of these actions because it makes things easier for the new people on the Forums to get help fast.

  • PhotoSmart Premium C309a: PhotoSmart Premium C309a in Win10 driver to print double-sided problem

    My problem is this: I created a catalog in MS Publisher 2013 for format A4 paper with 2 pages per document. I chose booklet side folding type and print double-sided.

    MS Publisher prepared pages correctly. I even created versuions PDF of these pages. But every time when I print pages, the printer keeps make them smaller (I think that balance for letter size) despuite the fact that I changed in the printer preferences A4as default paper source, all the documents are in format A4 etc.

    Accordingly, the printed pages are shifter in the Center on the left side page, which is OK for printing side but may not work for printing side doyuble that shift is in different directions for paper result.

    In addition, I can just print more on DVD or CD surfaces as the driver does not support a feature of sauch.

    Let me know how I can replace the native driver for Windows 10 with that for Windows 8.1? Or are there other solutions, except using another OS?

    THX, Vlad.

    In fact, it is not metter. The real problem was in the printer drivers. For some reason, Windows 8 driver package failed was installed and it creates the problem.

    I have installed HP SupportFramework and HP Support Assistant software. After the Support Assistant software downloaded a driver package, which is exactly what I used to use before so that the installation was successful.

    Now, everything works fine.

    Thank you for your support,

  • printer Deskjet 6122 problem

    My printer suddenly stopped printing.  It will be printed my scanner but don't print of my Dell Inspiron 8200.  It produces noises like it's printing and it advances the paper in "steps" as it does when it's printing, but the page comes out blank!

    I removed it from the pc by using the CD that came with it, can it, reinstalled twice.  Still does not print.  Keep in mind that it does not print scan!

    The scanner (ScanJet 4200C) gets 'print' instructions by the computer.  I replaced the ink cartridge, which obviously was not needed and downloaded the latest drivers from the hp site.  Nothing has worked.  Seems to be a communication problem between the pc and the printer, and yet he speaks perfectly of the scanner to the computer and then to the printer.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you get a secure page and that you are unable to print black on your HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one printer. I'd be happy to help you with this.
