G5 Printer
Hi all, I have a PPC G5/2Ghz iMac running OS X 10.4.11 and a HP F2210 all-in-one printer/copier/scanner. When I attempt to print a document, the computer sends data to the printer but nothing happens. The scanner works from the computer, so the two are communicating. Also, HP has a maint. mode whereby the driver is by-passed and in this mode the printer prints out a test page perfectly. I re-installed the driver, changed the USB cord but still no go. Seems to me the problem is in the OS. Any help is appreciated Cheers, Les -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Seems to me the problem is in the OS. Any help is appreciated CUPS probably isn't running? In any browser go to either: http://127.0.0.1:631/ http://localhost:631/ You should see a page for CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) If you don't see this, and get some error message, CUPS isn't running. The easiest solution is to reinstall CUPS, which you can get here: For 10.4.11: ftp://www.cups.org/pub/cups/1.2.12/cups-1.2.12.dmg IF CUPS is running normally, and you still can't print, the problem is with the HP software. This software is notorious for being resource hungry and buggy. There are several versions available. Even though you're using 10.4.11, it's probably possible and best to use the final PPC version for 10.5.8. All versions are available here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=219lc=encc=usdlc=ensw_lang=product=79499#N217 There are other possible replacements for the HP software, such as using the GutenPrint drivers, or the HPIJS drivers, but these won't scan unless you get alternative scan software like SANE for OS X (Scanner Access Now Easy), which normally is used in background through a TWAIN plugin that gives a Scan function within various apps such as Photoshop, Word, GraphicConverter, etc. Here are links for GutenPrint, HPIJS, and SANE for OS X. If you go this route, you should uninstall the HP software. HP installs a couple launch daemons, so you'll need to either use an HP uninstaller, or search out all instances of HP software within system folders, which would have names like com.hp.launchurlagent.plist and be located in folders such as LibraryLaunchAgents. After a reboot, if you open Activity Monitor there should be nothing running with HP in the name after uninstalling.
