Finally, Apple revealed the next crucial mac operating system, which is known as macOS 11 or macOS Big Sur. According to the details unveiled, it has a new Control Centre and modern widgets and notifications. To enjoy these new items you have to upgrade your Mac, a process that involves backing up data, and downloading and installing it.
- Run the Disk Utility or fsck based on the MAC OS version, to verify if there are any disk errors. Refer the following link for more details.; You can check the results in the UI and the log files created for each of these utilities, under the following locations.

Click here to return to the 'Classic can cause printing failures' hint |
I just did some work for a few customers that have two different Epson Photo printers. If classic was running, Mac OS X would give a communication error when trying to print. On one of the machines, clicking 'retry' usually resulted in the machine locking up.
I went so far as to disable all third party extensions in classic (USB scanning, printing, all desktop and background printing, epson drivers, and USB authoring support), and it did not seem to help the issue.
I forgot to note that my Epson Stylus 740, which has been supported since 10.0 out of the box, does not suffer from this issue.
If Classic is running my Laserjet 3200m will not print but will hold the file. I have a simple solution. Force Quit 9 go back to Print Centre, stop the queue, select the file, hit Retry, then start the queue and voila the file prints.Weird and wonderful things happen in PC, which, hopefully, are sorted out in 10.2
Try the utility 'Print Center Repair' as an early troubleshooting step.
Solved my printing problem
Available on VersionTracker. Escape room: bank escape mac os.
I should note that in the case of the two machines I worked on, deleting the OS X Canon printer drivers did not fix the issue. In quite a few cases, I have found that deleting them solves Epson printing problems.
.. I discovered the same thing just today! Printing to my HP 932C had become a frustrating experience, and my wife was grousing that 'this OS X is a _good_ thing?' Discovered the unplug/replug trick a few weeks ago, but recently set Classic to start up on login to save time. No more! Maybe since Apple's delivering printer sharing at the next update, they'll fix this?
With Classic running I get a 'communication error' about 50% of the time when I check the Epson C80 printer using the Epson print utility - this holds for both OS10 and Classic programs. With Classic turned off, the utility sees the printer all the time. These statistics seem to hold up for print jobs. When I do a print job with Classic running, turning the Queue off and on sometimes allows me to restart the print job.
Moving the cables around and using new cables doesn't seem to make any difference.
Using 'Print Center Repair' didn't help. Neither did deleting unused print drivers in the OS10 Library folder. Reinstalling the Epson C80 driver didn't help.
This is exactly my experience, too, with an Epson Stylus Color 880. Print Center Repair has never helped. Rollpong mac os.
I'm having a frusrating time getting my HP Laserjet 4MP to print through OSX or Classic 9. It's connected to my 40 gig Graphite iMac through an Assante LocalTalk adapter, and I was able to print a few things in the Classic enviroment, after downloading the printer driver from the HP website, but then for some reason could do it. It keeps telling me it can't find the printer. I'll try the unplugging trick, and what ever other suggesting I can understand from other replies, but if any one can suggest something, please do.
I have a 4MP and it's printing fine from OS X--haven't tried from Classic (I don't think..).
I used to have occasions where things just wouldn't come through (under OS 9) with
the same problem--the Mac couldn't find the printer.
I think the solution is to switch the Asante box off and back on. If that doesn't fix it
try turning the printer power off and back on. It was certainly one or the other.
Of course, in saying this I assume you've confirmed that you actually have both Appletalk
and your Ethernet port enabled--the Mac is still talking Appletalk to the printer; the Asante
box (if it's the same as mine) is just converting from Ethernet to Localtalk cabling. One
easy way to check that is to look at the Asante box--if there are lights flashing when you
try to print it's the Mac looking for the printer, and if it's getting to the Asante box then both
Ethernet and Appletalk are working.
I had 4MP printing problems also when I installed OS 10.2.2 on my G4. Same ol' configs like everyone else with my setup: phonenet line to an asante talk into an ethernet bus. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an apple talk converter directly into a USB port?! Anyway, I downloaded updated drivers, etc from HP, Asante and something from Linuxprinting called 'Gimp-print' & 'Ghostprint' (http://www.linuxprinting.org/tylerb/). Still nothing worked. So, I decided to do a simple thing recommended by 'ahl'..I unplugged/replugged the power cord on my asante, and repostioned my ethernet connection from one port on the bus into one next to it, and whatta you know. Bingo! I can print!..I'm now afraid to touch it thinking it won't work if I fiddle with it. I still can't believe it would be this simple to do.
The Failures Of Felix Mac Oshkosh
to rid myself of my error messages, i took the os9 laser jet descriptions from the extension folder and put them in the inactive extension folder and i compressed the printer's classic utility. (if i were braver, i'd toss them). Thumbderdome wrestling mac os. so now the printer cannot try to use them; it's only an osX printer now. i never boot into os9 and when i print from a classic app (wordperfect 3.5e) i always create a pdf first anyway, so then i print the pdf out of osX.
Darrick has the right idea. If I start my e-Mac in OS X - AND as long as I don't start a Classic application, I have no problems printing. As soon as I start a Classic application, zappo - NO print. I get the same error that most of you seem to get. A communication error. Stop the print job and restart is the only way to get a print. The latest update release pushed by Apple for OS X (got it yesterday - 'Friday, December 20, 2002 07:03:25 US/Pacific: Installed 'Mac OS X Update' (10.2.3)') didn't help either. This problem is not a 'stopper' but it sure is frustrating. I am still looking for a solution. I will be checking back to see if any of you come up with one and I, and a friend, will be trying to find one as well.
Good Luck
