OK, in fact I used the first version of this program to repair an intractible problem with printing in os 10.1 Following the application's very clear and simple sequence of steps, I discovered the problem -- with an epson printer -- required removing a competing canon driver! No way would I have reached this solution on my own: this programmer has really done his homework. A great public service.

Print Center Repair ReviewMust admit I was highly skeptical - Version: 3.0.3, 12/19/2004 01:48AM PST

and not just a little anxious about using this product. The print center was repeatedly , unexpectedly quitting.


I first tried deleting the printer (successfully), but it would not allow adding the printer back in (quit unexpectedly during each attempt to do so). The computer is a beige G3 233mhz running OS X 10.2.8. I tried most everything first: rebuilt permissions using Disk Utility, which found nothing and made no difference. Then Disk Warrior 2.0 (can't run version 3 on the G3, since it can't boot from the DW 3 disk), which found a very few, trivial and unrelated errors which it corrected, but still Print Center quit. Verified it wasn't something in the printer, itself, a LaserWriter 15/600 PS, by printing with no problem to it from another machine on the network.


I was dreading trying an unrated software, especially since both the developer and other users had indicated potential serious problems. I would have done an archive and re-install of the OS (I spent the better part of the afternoon futzing with this problem), but it happens that the partition the OS X is on is very small (just 3.9 GB) for reasons too long to go into here, and it wasn't feasible, without a HEAP of extra time to do some pretty fancy shoehorning that would have been far from easy or elegant.


Finally, I decided to just bite the bullet. After checking and repairing the Print Center Permissions (step 4), Eureka! Print Center not only worked again, it ran better than it had in months - the paper almost flew out - instead of the previous long delays before printing a page (which I had attributed to the small amount of free space on the disk and a pretty slow processor.


Pretty impressive. Wish I'd had the courage to use it right from the start of the problem. The instructions were clear (once I printed them from a different computer!) and the application's step-by-step approach made it a snap for someone who's never used it to proceed without difficulty or confusion. On top of which, the download is a full working version, and payment is really on the honor system that way. I shall be sending him my money, and recommending the software to clients and other techs.


Thank you!

This should not be happening. Please email techsupport@fixamac.net with as much detail about the problem as possible, including the specific file being affected, so that I can investigate it and release an update if required.

Thank you.

Print Center Repair Troubleshooting Reportrepair replaces native -t to -x - Version: 3.0.3, 4/27/2004 08:20AM PST

Durer--2008
is there a reason OSX 10.2.8 native discrepair util. puts -t after permissions like rwx rw r -t and printcenterrepair.app detects it as an error and puts -x after and claims that repaired an error.
after if you run native disc util. it detects -x as error and "corrects" it to -t. does anyone know whats going on??
runnung (G4 10.2.8)

by the way it didnt fix permissions, nonapple soft cant see printers from Admin, only from root and user. reinstalled and trashed everything you could imagine.

Print Center Repair is not compatible with 10.3.x as you have correctly pointed out. However, Printer Setup Repair IS compatible and available for download from the Fixamac web site or VersionTracker.
