[Misc] Macintosh 10.7.2 OSX driver for DP 190

[Guest]

I have a customer that has purchased a new MAC and cannot print to his DP190. I have tried the generic PS driver and the UF-9000 driver but I keep getting an out of toner message

You can try Gutenprint software. I believe the newest version is 5.2.8. Easily found with a Google search.

I really don't know anything about Panasonic machines, but OSX Lion can give really strange messages about printers which do not make sense. I have a lot of Oki printers connected to MAC's and the MAC is saying that the waste ink container has to be emptied? Well, there's no waste ink container in a laser printer. I've found a workaround, and maybe it can help you.

1. From the Finder menu choose Go, then Go to Folder
2. Enter /etc/cups/ppd in the Go to Folder dialogue box and choose Go
3. Find the ppd named ColourPrinter.ppd. (This is the same name as the ColourPrinter in Print and Fax with a .ppd extension)
4. Drag the ColourPrinter.ppd to the Desktop
5. Open the ColourPrinter.ppd with TextEdit
6. At the end of the PPD add the following line exactly as written:
*cupsSNMPSupplies: False
7. Save the modified ColourPrinter.ppd to the Desktop. No name change is necessary
8. In System Preferences -> Print & Fax, remove the printer and then re-add it. This step clears existing errors from the queue. Also note that when you do this, the .ppd is removed and then re-added to the /etc/cups/ppd folder
9. From the /etc/cups/ppd folder, move the original ColourPrinter.ppd to the trash. Authenticate when prompted
9. Drag the modified ColourPrinter.ppd from the Desktop to the /etc/cups/ppd folder. Authenticate when prompted

Maybe this helps.

There is a possibility that the 10.6 driver will work with your machine.

If you still have problems, then I suggest that you try turning off SNMP on the machine as this causes 10.7 to read the funny messages.

Might be a stupid question but does your dp190 has the postscript option installed?
