imagePROGRAF iPF6000S Won't Print and Errors Out

[my6000s]

This is my printer:

I couldnt find drivers for my macbook pro monterey, and i thought i had succeded with my super-old macbook pro osx 10.6.8

I was able to install the printer. It seems to communicate with the computer. Everything looks great until its about to print, it shows up in the print monitor, displays processing job, then it just disappears, as if it was printed, says printer ready. A little sound comes from the printer but nothing more happens.

When i look into the job info for previous printouts i see this message: cmucStartJobRender: Error 

How can i get around this? So frustrating.

2.  Click on Properties or Preferences.

3.  Click Main from the drop down menu.

Thank you so much for this, really helped!

Curious to know what is the reason this made it so hard to print?

Thanx again!💐

Hi my6000s,

There was an issue with the printing system of 10.6 and the imagePROGRAF's driver.  More detail than that was not made available.
