JOB STOPPED WHEN I TRY TO PRINT PDFS

My printer has been working fine until a few hours ago. Suddenly I can't print pdfs, the jobs are automatically stopped. I can print other types of documents fine. I have a mac OSX 10.4 operating system. I installed some software updates recently, but have printed pdfs since then no problem. Ink cartridges are all full. Thank you!

Sounds like a software issue not the prnter. Try uninstalling adobe if this is wat the program is and reinstalling.

My printer is not printing my banner.

There is a limit to how long the TCS500 can print and it also works with the file size. PDFs can appear to be small, but when un-compressed to printer data it can be enormous. Try flattening the file by converting into a TIF.

HP B8850 photo printer originally installed on an XP machine. Now running on a Win 7 unit (SP1) x64. Most printing done from Photoshop CS2. Up until a few months ago, everything ran fine on the x64 Win 7...

Try this.
Right click on the desktop and create a new Text Document, rename it spooler.bat
Be sure your computer is set to display file extensions otherwise you will end up with a file called spooler.bat.txt but the .txt will not be displayed. Right click on the file and select edit. type the following:
net stop spooler
net start spooler

Save the file.
Between print jobs, run this by right clicking on the file and Run as Administrator. Maybe restarting the spooler will work and you will not have to reboot.

Hi, Your problem may be in the originating software of your print job. Make sure the job gets a form-feed telling the printer the page/job is complete.

Can't print to mac wirelessly (could do it a few days ago)

I had the same problem until recently. You have to install the drivers FROM THE CD that came with the printer, instead of selecting the drivers from the default list. Then, when selecting which printer driver to use (you'll have two options) choose Canon IJ and NOT Canon MX310 series. This is a problem with their MX310 driver, which is solved using a default/generic Canon InkJet (hence, the IJ) driver. Hope this helps!
P.S. This only works on Mac OS X. I have yet to figure out how to print wirelessly through Vista. Will keep you posted.

Job stopped!

hey wildd, Try unplugging the printer from the electrical source for "several" minutes. Shutdown the computer too. Turn on the printer, then turn on the computer. If that doesn't work go the whole mile. Uninstall all printers and software. download the latest drivers from Epson. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=23952&infoType=Overview This link is to the epson site and your machine. Download the drivers from here. Have you had any paper jams lately? Make sure there aren't any pieces of paper stuck or any other debris. How about the print properties, or open print jobs? what does it show when the job stops. Let me know what happens. Good Luck, Tim
