DESCRIPTION

Print Therapy (formerly known as Printer Setup Repair) is the only utility in the world designed to diagnose and repair problems that can occur with the Mac OS X printing system. These problems include, but are not limited to, the inability to open the Print & Fax System Preference pane, inabillity to add printers, disappearing print jobs, corrupted preference files, and inability to create PDF files. Print Therapy also includes some useful tools for deleting extra printer drivers, installing or deleting PPD files, deleting old spool files, backing up and restoring the printing system, and resetting the printing system.

Print Therapy 6.x allows the user to do the following:

  • Backup and restore the printing system
  • Verify and recreate the root user
  • Verify and recreate the lp user
  • Verify and recreate the lp group
  • Verify and repair the printing system permissions
  • Verify and repair the home user Library directories
  • Reset the printing system
  • Delete CUPS spool files
  • Verify and repair the /private/tmp directory
  • Stop, start, or restart the cupsd process
  • Replace the cupsd.conf file
  • Delete hidden temporary files
  • Delete all printing preferences
  • Delete the pre-installed drivers
  • View the CUPS access_log file
  • View the CUPS error_log file
  • View the CUPS page_log file
WHAT'S NEW
Version 6.0.2: Fixed a bug that would cause the trial version to "expire" immediately after launch.

Verison 6.0.1 fixes a bug with the registration system and the trial timer that would cause registered copies of Print Therapy to "expire" after 7 days. We apologize to everyone for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

    JOBBY  Not too useful — never used this before, but installing the trial version and running it gets me a message saying that it's already expired! Looks like the fix in this version isn't quite there...  (Version 6.0.1)

    DONMONTALVO  When do we get a UNIX tool to run these commands remotely (or schedule via cron/launchd)? :)

    XYPHER  One of the only apps I've ever considered worth paying for. I had many Printing Presets which were jacked up. After running this program everything is back to normal.An extremely thorough tool which operates without hiccups. It even told me what files I had missing. The repair options are fantastic.Thanks to the developer John Goodchild. I recommend this unreservedly.  (Version 5.1)
