OS X V10.7 Lion :: Apple Laserwriter 4/600 Won't Print Using 10.7.4
Jun 17, 2012
Yesterday I bought a new MacBook Pro running 10.7.4 and discovered I cannot print to my Laserwriter 4/600 using Asantetalk connected to ethernet (which is connected via a router to my AirPort Extreme (round, white circa 2005). If I use one of my older MacBooks to share the printer with my new one, then it prints fine, no problem at all. It's direct printing that's the problem. I also did NOT have a problem setting up my MBP (OS 10.5.8) to print from the LW when I got it in 2008. What I've done is: - Go to Sys. Prefs > Print & Scan > + printer in Printers list, select "IP". At that point I have tried ALL of the options, IPP, LPD and HP, which I detail below. With each one I have tried, I have had to manually Select Printer Software. When I select Apple Laserwriter 4/600, I have had to also manually give it a Name in order for me to Add the printer. At that point, here's what happens when I try IPP: - I get the message 'Unable to verify the printer on your network. Unable to connect to " due to an error. Would you like to create the queue?' I select Continue. - It then says it's setting up the printer, and "Make sure your printer's options are accurately shown here so you can take full advantage of them." Memory Configuration: I select 6 MB, then the OK button. - Then it says it's setting up the printer. - I then try to print. - I open up the printer monitor, it acts like it's going to print, but then Pauses. My document stays in the queue, and when I try to Resume Printer, it acts like it's going to print again, but then get a message something like "The printer's URI is incorrect or no longer exists." The it pauses it again. I try again. Pause. and it will just keep doing this and never print. Keep in mind, after I try each method and it doesn't work, I delete both the print job and the printer from the list. So I delete the printer, try adding a new one with LPD: - It doesn't give me a message that it's unable to verify the printer on my network, which seems good, but then when I try to print, it says it's copying print data, it's connected to the printer, and then it pauses. I keep trying, but it keeps pausing it. When I try the HP, like the IPP it tells me it's unable to verify the printer on my network. I Continue anyway, it acts as if it's setting it up, but nothing happens, so I hit the "Configure" button. I then select my memory configuration. It seems to take, so I try to print. It acts like it's processing the job, but then says the printer is busy. I went to this page:  I hope I have given enough information about my ystem and printer. I have scoured these forums and Google, and cannot find a solution to my problem that works. I am hoping I don't have to print only using a shared printer because that is a bit of a hassle since I don't plan on always having an older MBP running as a server.

I inherited a LaserWriter Select and have tried in vain to set it up (I also inherited the Asant talk used to connect it to my wireless router). It worked fine with the Leopard set-up of the previous owner, but it won't do thing for me under Snow Leopard. Is there an incompatibility here, or does the printer just not like me?

I have just setup a Time Capsule to host a local wireless network to replace an older wireless/wired mixture.
The network works a treat, and our four office computers all pick it up without issue. I have plugged a USB Epson Inkjet printer into the TC's USB port, and all the networked computers can print to it without issue.
However, we also have a trusty LaserWriter 8500 that we use. I plugged this into the first ethernet (LAN) port on the TC , and expected just to be able to add it in the Print & Fax Preference pane. Sadly though, this is not the case. The printer cannot be found in the Default Browser, or the AppleTalk tab (AppleTalk has been turned on for AirPort).

I have recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and am now having problem with my hp 4500 office jet printer. The print icon tends to stay on the dock after the print job is done and then mess up the print queue. Even worse if I forget to cancel it manually then when I put the computer on 'sleep' the printer starts up again and the whole job is rerun unless I get to cancel it quickly on the printer! Â
It does not always do this (the print icon disappearing as it should do), but for 90% of the time it does.Â

I just read something about how old laser printers--I still use a LaserWriter 16/600--need to be reconfigured to work with Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, I use to know how to do things with the Classic OS's "Apple Print Utility" but I don't think that there is an OS X equivalent. Does anyone know of one? All I want to do is be able to do the normal things: turn on/off the start up page, find out the IP address, load fonts, etc.

when I want to create pdf file (from different applications, mostly from word), it creat the pdf file way too larger than the original file. For example, my master thesis in .doc is about 10Mb, however the .pdf file is about 17Mb and when re-saved it in preview and cmpressed the size, it saved it as 11 Mb.
Is there any way how to save/print it to pdf and create smaller file and be able to send it via mail for example? I mean, is it possible to do that with the basic Mac OS X feature, not with some app.Â
P.S.: I've found few questions about the same problem here on forum and somewhere else, but the questions were asked in previous versions of Mac OS X. I'm using latest version of everything...

Is there a way to force Safari to print what I see on a webpage, and not default to the print style? I'm trying to print a graphically-rich site and the print.css doesn't cut it, making everything look like trash (unformatted text, etc.).

When I print multiple checks they print in the wrong sequence. If I have checks 401, 402 and 403 in the printer in that order, they print 403, 402 and 401. How can I change this to print not collated?

I'm trying to print an Excel 2004 .xls spreadsheet file where I'm using to record attendance for the class I teach.I have my main Column A with Rows A-X and it shows up fine, I imagine because there is content in the boxes.
But I also have Columns B-L and rows A-X with nothing in their cells, but when I print it, they won't print.I need these blank because I'll check them off if the child in the first column attended the lesson. How do I make it so my many blank cells will print as well?

I have had difficulty in attaching my HP Photosmart C5580 printer to my new MacBookPro (OSX 10.6) through my Netgear WGPS606 print server. After much searching I found previous posts here which advised me to add the Gutenprint driver 5.2.6 which I did. That finally DID successfully attach the printer through the server.
However, there is a lag of many seconds (sometimes minutes) between the SEND command and the starting of the printer. Is this the new normal that I need to expect or is there a fix?

I'm new to Mac OS X, but have been working with Linux for almost 9 yrs now. I have set up a Linux box with CUPS 1.3.9. I can print from the server, and from other Linux stations to that remote server. However, I can't print from a client MacBook.
I set up CUPS on the client Mac via http://localhost:631 and created a printer associated with the remote queue / printer on Linux (the URL I use on OS X is http://mylinuxserver:631/printers/hpprinter and the driver is RAW).
I have no problems sending a test page from the CUPS web interface on Mac OS X to the Linux server -- the test page gets printed OK. However, I can't see the printer I just defined from other Mac OS X apps, and neither can I see it from the Add Printer Dialog on System Preferences (it's empty).
I tried creating the printer at the Add Printer dialog, but it would neither let me specify an HTTP URL (as far as I know, I had to use the IP icon on the toolbar) nor specify "RAW". So I tried creating a "dummy" printer in the Add Printer dialog, with a basic config, and then changing it from the CUPS web GUI. This didn't work either, since when I went back to the Add Printer dialog, the printer was gone.

I'm using a MacBook, Mac OS 10.5.8. I've downloaded the driver for HP LaserJet m1319f MFP and the printer worked fine when I connect it directly to my MacBook (using USB connection).The problem is that printer is supposed to be connected to our office network users through a TP-Link Print Server (TL-PS110U). I've tried to use AppleTalk to connect to that print server but my MacBook only recognized that HP printer as a HP Fax machine and I can't print anything.

MBP found 2 of my 3 printers right away. Tried manually configuring the 3rd which is an older HP Laserjet 1320 connected via USB to a D-Link print server. In Win you config using the IP address and port name. Configuration appeared to work but nothing gets sent to printer. If this is an easy fix I would like to go that route but if the print server hardware is too old please suggest good alternative that will work for both Windows and Mac systems as I have both in the house.Â

I have a networked printer in my home network. I also have a (working) PPTP VPN set up to connect to that home network while on the road. When I open the VPN tunnel, I can adress all devices on the network, including the printer. I can ping it as well as open its Web front end (via Safari). The only thing that doesn't work is: I can't print over the tunnel! I've tried turning on "send all traffic over VPN", but that didn't help. Some research on the web seems to indicate that the solution lies in an option "Exclude Local LAN from Tunnel". This, however, is not an option for the built-in PPTP client in Lion.Â

We have a Canon MF4380dn (similar to MF4370dn) and we cannot print to it from a MacBook Pro that is running Lion 10.7.3 We have tried connecting via USB and via network and have installed the latest UFR II 2.30 driver from Canon. We have completely removed the drivers and re-added them with no success. It can see the printer when it is connected either via USB or via network and it adds the software correctly. However, whenever we try to print a test page it seems to send it to the printer and then it immediately disappears and no page prints

I have a new MacBook Pro at the new job. All software is up-to-date (10.7.3).Â
In all apps, when I click on the PRINT button, nothing happens. I opened the PRINT QUEUE and there's no record of anything being sent to the printer. I've gone and done the RESET THE PRINT SYSTEM process. No change.Â
In a Windows network environment, printing over network. It seems to not have anything to do with the network, though, as I can see the printers and get them set up, and I get no error message. The PRINT button is just...dead.Â

Last night, when I tried to print a document in Acrobat on my Epson 2200, I got a notice to the effect that new software was required for the 2200, and did I want to download it. Feeling comfortable that I was dealing with an Apple installation, I approved the install. Now I cannot print anything on my Epson 2200. Every print attempt fails. I have reinstalled the print driver, tried another driver (Gutenprint), but can't get anything to work.I'm running Lion 10.7.4 on an iMac with 4 Gb of RAM.Â
