HP 5P, print server on Mavericks 10.9.3

Printing (didn't) happen

My SnowLeopard machine prints just fine to via a print server to an HP 5P.  On the Mavericks notebook the add Printers button brought up the list of printers on the network.   Lights green in the control panel but no blinky lights, churning sounds and no paper emerging from the bowels of the beast.

Fix (What to DO? oh toh keh?)

• printer cups interface (in your browser http://localhost:631/) 
• Gutenprint drivers

Frustration Rising (dead ends that didn't work)

• adding and deleting printer
• ipp with IP address and port name
• turning firewall off
• looking at tcpdump log

Good luck!

Build FAILS: Handbrake 0.9.9 on OS X 10.9.3 Mavricks

follow handbrake build instructions for OS X:
https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CompileGuide


result:

********* BUILD FAILS

what now:

If you have installed any utilties like autoconf automake under /usr/local/bin/ while trying to build remove those.

When you installed Xcode 5.1.3 from the App Store you probably didn't know you also have to install the command line tools.  Type this into a terminal window:

xcode-select --install
