I have not been able to get this to work.
When I type the line

sudo chown root:wheel /usr/libexec/cups/filter/kyofilter

and enter my password I get a response to the effect that the file does not exist.
I don’t have a Mac here at the moment for the exact response they are my kids Macbooks using OS10.6 trying to print to a FS-1010 shared on an XP Pro SP3 PC.

Printing from the Mac I can see the print job go through the Windows print queue and the lights on the printer flash then nothing.

I had used your ‘recipe’ for fixing my KM 1650 before and it worked beautifully (see my comment on 17 September); since then I had to reinstall all my printers on my computer. When wanting to reactivate the KM 1650 I have trouble entering the password although I am prompted to enter it after entering the command-line in terminal. The screen just does not take it! Is there any solution for this problem? It would be highly appreciated!!! Thanks

Many Thanks, it works well with a FS-C5016N. BTW for those like me who have problem with the comand. I first type the comand but did not work. Finaly, it work when I copy/paste the comand.

Thank you for problem solving so that I didn’t have to. While the 1030Ds worked fine before the fix, the 5015s and 5050s did not. Now they all work as well as they ever did.

Nice Trick! We use Job Accounting. Instead of changing Mail and Safari to 32 bit mode, I only changed Preview. From Mail or Safari, choose print, then select Open PDF in Preview. Print from there.

No sense in sacrificing a lot of performance in a lot of apps to be able to print a few pages. Just schlep it to Preview.
