Os X 10.4 Error While Printing
10.4: Fix a CUPS remote printing problem Jun 06, '05 10:08:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous After upgrading to Tiger (fresh install), I could no longer use my TiBook to print over the network to my Samsung ML-1710 laser printer, which is connected via USB to my linux server "beigeg3" (running CUPS) in my home office. Even worse, once the network printer was selected in the Tiger print dialog, I couldn't do any kind of printing task -- not even Save to PDF for transferring to the linux server. All attempts ended with the unhelpful error message "Error while printing". I haven't been able to find any reference to this problem on the net, but the fix is so simple, I think it's worth sharing. Using the CUPS http interface (http://localhost:631) to try to print test pages gave me useful error messages: apparently Tiger reported the Linux server hostname to cups as "beigeg3," but CUPS didn't know where to find that host (no DNS server runs on the LAN). Adding this line: 192.168.0.4 beigeg3 to the /etc/hosts file on the TiBook let CUPS know where to look fixed the problem. Of course you'd want to use the IP address and name of your own print server there. This seems like a bug to me (shouldn't CUPS be able to access NetInfo to get this address?). • Currently 2.50 / 512345 (2 votes cast) [16,013 views] Hint Options Printable Hint Format Subscribe to 'macosxhints.com network tips' 10.4: Fix a CUPS remote printing problem | 7 comments | Create New Account Newest First Oldest First Flat Nested No Comments Threaded Click here to return to the '10.4: Fix a CUPS remote printing problem' hint The following comments are owned by whoever posted them.

Product Notes 2Wire USB HPNA Tom Hensley: "I have been using the 2wire http://www.macintouch.com/tigerreview/incompatibility.html USB HPNA adaptor for my home network with no problems. After installing Tiger the "Ethernet adaptor http://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/mostViewedResults?sp4ts.oid=412144 (EN1)" selection in Network preferences is greyed out and no longer accessible, meaning that the adaptor can't be accessed." Ernest Pons-Worley says, "The 2Wire USB ethernet adaptor does not work under OS 10.4 Tiger. There is no driver out for it yet--I checked with SBC (DSL provider) and with 2Wire." Aatrix Payroll 15.1.6 A reader reports: "I've tried various times to os x get Aatrix Payroll software version 15.1.6 (latest version) with Tiger 10.4 with various problems. I'm able to use the program to generate payroll, but the separate forms program has many problems and is unusable." Aatrix follows up: "Aatrix Software has identified a compatibility issue with our forms viewer within the Aatrix Top Pay product. It has been resolved and a patch is available by emailing aatrixcare. Aatrix Top Pay v15.3 will be released very soon os x 10.4 and contains the Tiger fix." Acquisition 118.2 Len Carsner: "Acquisition will not work with Tiger. I've been getting a "Java Runtime" error and am then told it is a serious problem with the OS and will require a re-installation." Later: "The Aquisition site now has a statement that the probelm is with the Java 1.5 update and to not install it. If you do you'll have to do an archive/install or disable it thru the terminal. They have instructions in their blog." One reader reports that the Mac OS X 10.4.1 update fixes problems with Acquisition. Another reports no problems with 118.2 or an earlier version. Adobe Acrobat & Reader Individual reports of problems with plug-ins (Creo) and Distiller and Professional. One reader reports no problems in Tiger. One reader reports that after an upgrade to 10.4.1, Acrobat 7 keeps writing error messages to the system log ("colored pattern specified with uncolored pattern colorspace"). John Richey notes that Adobe has acknowledged the problem but so far offers no solution other than clearing the log to keep it from getting too large. Adobe After Effects One reader reports: "After Effects has problems with Tiger. If you are using a non american keyboard, the shortcuts in ae do not work.
