Error Number 31000
under Mac OS X Snow Leopard and getting the infuriating and useless error message "pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000"? I spent a fair while Googling for a solution to this before stumbling across the answer: turn your printer off and back on. That's it. No reinstalling drivers, adding or removing printers or playing with settings - just a good old fashioned power cycle. It's nice to know some things never change :) Hat tip to Walt-O-Matic for the answer. I was printing from Microsoft Office Word, via a networked HP C4480 printer on Windows Server 2008 via an Airport Extreme.

A SL, Feb 27, 2010 #4 Scott Davey Messages: 2 Solution I got the -31000 error just like others in this forum. One suggestion elsewhere was to restart the printer - almost too simple to be true. I looked at my printer and it had an error light, so I restarted it, cleared my printer queue (on the mac side) and then resent the job from windows. This worked for me. Still no idea what -31000 is, but it's probably a OSX/CUPS thing. Tip: when searching google, the minus sign excludes results for the following word. So, you should enclose the error number in quotes like this "-31000" to get the results you're after. Cheers, Scott Scott Davey, Mar 21, 2010

When it doesn't print, I get the error message, "pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster error number 31000 failed with err number -31000" and then nothing happens. Sometimes, the problem is fixed by re-installing Acrobat 8. I just downloaded Acrobat Reader and it has printed pdf docs just fine. I've asked HP for advice, but they were not at all helpful. Any advice? Thanks, Rick 1246Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final. Show 1 reply 1.
