Yes. In fact, they just released a new driver, but that still has not resolved the issue.

Did you install an select the right printer driver for the KM-2230, yet? Sound like a basic printer driver problem to me.

We are having trouble installing our KM-2230 on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8. When we try to print to the KM copier, the first page comes out with one line of Hieroglyphics, then a zillion blank pages follow. Have you come across this before? Is it possible that your fix also works on our OS?

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Thank you. I can confirm this works on Intel Macs running Mac OS 10.6 and Kyocera KM-2550. The printer lost functionality during the Snow Leopard upgrade.

Deleting the printer on the Mac and setting it up again sound like a good idea to me. Here is how you do it:

1. Open the “Settings” app on your Mac and navigate to the “Printer” section.
2. Select the printer you want to delete in the left table an hit the minus-button on the bottom left of the table to actually delete it.
3. Set up a new printer by adding with a click on the plus-button on the bottom left of the table.

I cross my fingers that you solve the problem!

Christian,

First of all, I’m from México sorry about my english

Here is the history
In my company we changed our printer (old kyocera for the KM-3050). Its conected in a IP adress. In some machines works fine but we cant configure all of them. I’ve tried your terminal solution but still appears (in de printer window) something like this:
“recuperable the IP is busy (obviosly not) retry in 5 (or 10, or 15) seconds” and it doesnt print never!

Also i tried supply (from the macs who works fine) the plugins, even the .plist and nothing.

Do you know how can i delete all the printer information and begin the instalation or configuration again?

Thank you

@Mike … strange behavior. Sound like a problem of the printer driver to me. Check whether there is a new version of the printer driver available. If you use the newest printer driver and it still does not function as it should: Just file a bug to Kyocera.

Where do you get that message, that you change important system configurations? When I input the terminal command, I only get prompted for the password.

hello,
I have a brand new mac book pro with 10.6.8 on it. My printer kyocera 1370Dn prints just strange signs: lost of pages with one line only.
I tried this hint you gave, but when I want to enter the text it gives me a warning that with this I could change important system configurations. If I want to proceed anyway it does not let me enter the password. I have admin rights and the password is definitely correct.
what can I do?
