How do I add a Printer Driver to the Driver List??

Im trying to add my printer to a WGPS606 Netgear Print server. So Im adding a Printer to print via LPD IP printing, but My Canon iP4200 is not listed as one of the canon printers in the "Print Using" driver list.
I have been to the Canon site and can only seem to download a Pkg driver file (which I have run).
If I use the "other" setting in the "print using" driver list surely I can add the iP4200 if I had the right driver file.....? How do I get hold of the right file to add it to the list or am I missing the point of adding a print driver to the pre-installed list????

I have read my list through and through but no sign
of Designjet 900. (now slightly cross-eyed). If you
get a chance to look through the list on your mac
when you're reunited, I would be grateful!
The latest version of the Gutenprint/Gimp-Print drivers does not have a generic DeskJet Series 900 PPD. It lists individual printers in the 900 range. The Gimp-Print v4.2.7 driver package did have a generic DeskJet Series 900 PPD. Somewhere in between, there was a change over to model specific PPDs.
Crispian, your original request for a driver for an HP printer was for the HP Deskjet 9800. Gutenprint/Gimp-Print does not support that printer. The hpijs drivers do support that printer. If that is not the printer you have, please specify again which printer you have. There has been mention of the DeskJet 9800, DeskJet 900, and DesignJet 900 in this thread.

    Find the song you want to add, but when you click on it with the Select button, hold the click until it blinks a couple times. That will add the song to that playlist. I hope this helps! :-)

  • How do I add a print button to the tool bar?

    When I open the menu there is not a "print" button to add to the tool bar. Even under customize there is not a "print" button. How do I print from mozilla?

    The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window.
    You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
    You can look at this extension:
    *Universal Print: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/universal-print/
    There are other things that need attention.
    Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.

  • How do I add a print button in the 'Additional tools and Features'? My print button has disappered.

    After the recent upgrade my print button disappeared from the Menu Bar. I tried to customize the menu bar by adding back the print button but the button does not appear in the list of 'Additional Tools and Features' in the left hand window. I cant locate the print button anywhere.

    Move your mouse to the top of the Firefox window, then right click.
    You will see a menu of the available toolbars. Select '''''Customize'''''.
    In the new window, look for the icon. When you find if, hold down
    the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be.
    You can move any of the icons you want from here, but some
    icons are locked in place.

    Not sure which driver you mean when you say "the driver in the Mac's list". Apple does not provide a driver for this device, so if you mean one of the default printers that are included with 10.6, like the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL, then these will only work if the optional PS or PCL print kits were installed in the machine. Given your inability to print then it would seem that you have neither kit installed. So this would require you to install the Canon UFR2 driver, which you can obtain via this link.
    With the UFR2 driver installed, you add the printer using IP > LPD. Enter the IP address of the iRC2380, leave the Queue name blank and change the Name to iRC2380. Leave the Location field blank and in the Print Using menu, browse to the "Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (UK)". Click OK and then Add to complete the queue creation. You should now be able to print. Please reply if it does not work.

  • How do I add a printer to my airport

    How do I add a printer to my airport so I can print with my MAC and iPad and iPhone?

    This is user to user support.. where if we can help you we do.. but otherwise we don't because we don't know the answer.
    If your question is left for 24hours sometimes an Apple rep will point you to a document. that is all.. they never help.. just point.
    Anyhow I see you have posted twice.. with time stamps 2min apart.
    And in the wrong order so anything is possible.
    ipad and iphone can natively print only to printer with airprint.
    See printing with iOS..
    About AirPrint
    Does your printer support airprint.. ?? If so it will be wirelessly connected.
    If it doesn't support airprint there are endless apps on itunes store to help you.
    Look at a print software you load on the Mac that captures jobs for airprint and sends them to the correct printer..
    Printopia.. but there are a zillion others.
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
    Nowadays printers are the razor holders.. the toner or ink cartridges are the blades.. just buy a new printer.. that is actually capable of the job. Plugging in USB printers and expecting to use them over networks is never 100% successful.. USB is an interface for local connection not network.

  • How do you add a printer to your iPad

    HI,
    how do you add a printer to your iPad.

    1. Buy a AirPrint enabled printer; see list below
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    2. Run the CD provided and setup as network printer; this will setup your printer to the same network as your iPad

    3. Start printing from your iPad without wire

  • How do I add wireless printer or Direct tv

    How do I add wireless printer or Direct tv

    These devices would be added the same way that any other wireless device is added as a client to a network......
    1)  Scan to select the network
    2)  Enter the wireless network password
    Keep in mind that DirecTV cannot connect to a wireless network if there are special characters.....like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc......in the wireless network name.
    So if your wireless network is named something like Ernestomelia's Wireless Network, DirecTV will not be able to to connect. Instead, the network should read something like ernestomelia network. A shorter name with no spaces would be better.
    Your printer might have similar requirements, but you did not provide the make or model number of the device....so we don't have much to go on here. In general, you would want to contact support at the printer manufacturer for more specific information.

  • How do I add a new computer to the canning fuction on my

    How do I add a new computer to the scanning function on my PIXMA MX870? I can send print jobs to it from the new computer, but it tells me to "Set the PC to start scanning" when I try to scan to it. The old computer still accepts scanned images when it is turned on.

    Hi, Illiniboy67!
    So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know exactly which operating system is running on the computer you're trying to connect to the scanner, and how it's connected (USB, ethernet, or wi-fi). That, and any other details you'd like to give will help the Community better understand your issue!
    If this is a time-sensitive matter, our US-based technical support team is standing by, ready to help 24/7 via Email at http://bit.ly/EmailCanon or by phone at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) weekdays between 10 AM and 10 PM ET (7 AM to 7 PM PT).
    Thanks and have a great day!

    Try some maintenance actions:
    1) Reset Printing System:

    2) If that doesn't help, repair the hard drive and permissions after booting from the recovery partition:

  • I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! It seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

    I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! I see no printers available in the Print & Scan area. If I click "+" it seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

    The printer component uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network compared to the scanner component and it can take several seconds longer to appear after the scanner has.
    That said, with the introduction of AirPrint, the MG should be seen as Bonjour Multifunction in the Add Printer window, as shown below.
    Selecting this Bonjour Multifunction entry will create a printer using AirPrint and a scanner using the iCA driver.
    So do you see the MG5220 as Bonjour Multifunction or just Bonjour?

  • How can I add new games without overwriting the old ones?

    I have just purchased two new games in the itunes store and although they are showing in the library (under applications) my previously purchased games are not. In Summary under games it will not let me choose selected games only 'all games' and when I press sync warns that the existing games will be replaced. How can I add these games without deleting the older ones? Also if I did want to remove a game from my ipod how do I do it?

    Part of the problem is that I can never sync the whole thing as I dont keep all my music in my library (it seems silly to have my enture cd collection on the computer).
    Clearly it ISN'T silly as it avoid issues like you are having right now. If you need more space, get an external hard drive. To me it is much sillier to only have your stuff on the iPod and no where else as the iPod, as a small portable player, is much more likely to be dropped, lost, damaged, stolen, forgotten somewhere, etc.
    While I am not familiar with the use of games on the iPod (I have never bought any) you can switch the iPod to manually manage and then you can add content to your iPod without losing what is already there. Perhaps it works for games as well.
    But long term, I strongly suggest you keep all your stuff in your library so if you need to (you have to perform a restore on the iPod, you lose it and buy a new one, etc.) you can very easily sync it all back to the iPod when needed.
    Good luck,

  • My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
    Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation.
