Printing problems with Matlab 2013a

I installed Matlab 2013a this morning on Mac OSX Mountain Lion

So far, I was using Matlab 2012b. When I first installed Matlab 2012b, I encountered what it seems a common printing problem ('There are no properly configured printers on the system').

I used the solution in

http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-5DRO9Z/

by configuring my CUPS 1.6.2.

Now I cannot print in Matlab 2013a (again, some old 'There are no properly configured printers on the system') and the solution above does not work.

Let me emphasize: I was able to print in Matlab 2012b just a couple of hours ago and, beyond changing the Matlab installation, I have not changed anything in my mac. I searched the internet for a while without luck

Any suggestion?

Thanks

I seem to have the same issue, MatLab R2013a, Mac OS-X 10.8.4, and get the following error using the GUI print button (however using the 'print' command from the command line works fine):

Error using send (line 129) Problem sending file to output device, system returned error : lpr: The printer or class does not exist.

Error in print>LocalPrint (line 321) send( pj );

Error in print (line 240) LocalPrint(pj);

Error in printdlg_deprecated>LocalJavaPrintDlg (line 739) print(Data.Fig, pOpts{:});

Hi Chris

I dealt for two weeks with an engineer with Matlab. We tried one thing after another and no success whatsoever.

Most disappointing. Hopefully R2013b would be better. Otherwise, check http://julialang.org/

The problem is Java & Cups is not understand together. You can have it work by specifying the Orientation in every printers in Cups

System -> Printing

For each printer select Job Options tab and specify Orientation to whatever else instead of "Automatic Rotation".
