Common Macintosh Problems

Problems in the choose
r
Condition
The printer does not
print a document from
Acrobat Reader.
The document has
printed, but the print job
has not disappeared from
the spooler in Mac OS
10.3.2.
Some letters are not
displayed normally during
the cover page printing.
When printing a
document in Macintosh
with Acrobat Reader 6.0 or
higher, colors print
incorrectly.
NOTE: Refer to Mac OS User's Guide that came with your computer for further
information on Mac OS error messages.
Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver
make a symbolic link to "lpr" printing command, which is
commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended to
use both package on the same machine.
Check if Gimp Front-end has "Xsane:Device dialog."
on the "Acquire" menu. If not, you should install Xsane
plug-in for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane
plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp
home page. For the detail information, refer to the Help for
Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application.
If you wish to use other kind of scan application,
refer to the Help for application.
Avoid changing print job parameters (via SLPR utility, for
example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of
CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are
changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning.
Since Linux MFP driver locks MFP port while printing, the abrupt
termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore
unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred,
try to release the MFP port.
Suggested solutions
Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat
products:
Printing the PDF file as an image may solve this problem.
Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options.
Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3. or higher.
This problem is caused because Mac OS cannot create the
font during the cover page printing. English alphabet and
numbers are displayed normally at the cover page.
The resolution setting in the printer driver may not be
matched with the one in Acrobat Reader.
