Need help to find printer setup utility

I recently bought my first Mac and have slowly been adding to it over the last couple of weeks. Today I added a new printer that I wish to connect wirelessly. The printer is a Brother MFC-3360. I installed the software that came with the printer and had the printer connected directly to the Mac Book. It printed just fine.
I then disconnected the USB cable and plugged it into the Extreme Base station. It failed to print. According to the Extreme manual, I need to open printer setup utility, located in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Then from there I need to add the printer.
The problem is, I have no printer setup utility. Is there another place where it might be located?
Any other ideas will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Found problem. Went to Sys prefs -> Printers and Fax -> removed my printer and re-installed. Works like a charm.

  • Need help to find print graphics program compatible w/snow leopard

    Now that it's clear my Print Explosion 3.0.2.8 program is thoroughly incompatible with snow leopard (Nova support over the phone: "we're working on a fix" and "hoping for one" but can't tell you if, when, or how we'll notify anyone if we succeed on 12/9/09), what compatible programs are there for 10.6.2? I read of issues with Print Shop 2, so don't want to plonk down more money after bad. Recommendations? Fixes? Suggestions? My usage is for things like signs, posters, cards, invites. Thanks.

    Posterino, among others, seems like a good candidate. Perhaps Apple Pages would work too.

  • Printer Setup Utility/Print Center Missing

    Occasionally my Epson 2200 loses its settings and I get an error message through the Epson software telling me the ink set is different from the one in the printer when it was installed (it's not) and that I need to open the Printer Setup Utility, uninstall the printer and reinstall it. Usually if I delete the job and resend it, the printer works, but tonight after repeated tries the error persisted. So I went to reinstall the printer and there's no Printer Setup Utility or Print Center Utility.
    Huh? Where would it go?
    Do I just have to reinstall OSX or is there a quicker fix?
    I'm using OS X 10.5.8 on a 2.8 GHz Quad Core machine.
    Thanks in advance,

    I believe that the "Printer Setup Utility" disappeared with Mac OS X 10.5. Since then all printer setup is done in the "Print & Fax" panel of System Preferences.

  • Printer Setup Utility Crashing on Launch. Please Help!

    Hi all,
    I am trying to set up my sister's iBook to print on my home network. I'm using a fuji xerox docuprint C525A and my first step was to obtain the latest drivers from fuji xerox.
    However when I go to add the printer in printer setup utility the program unexpectedly quits. Obviously this is making it pretty much impossible to add the printer.
    The iBook is running 10.3.9 so far the only step I've taken to try and fix the problem has been to repair disk permissions. This unfortunatey hasn't helped.
    I would greatly appreciate any advice for further troubleshooting.
    Thanks
    -Tim

    Hi Tim,
    I don't see any obvious problem with the results that you have shown. The logical links look okay and the PrintCore program is present and has the about the right size. Nevertheless, the results that you obtained a few days ago suggest that there is a problem somewhere in the PrintCore.framework. I would suggest that you replace this framework and see if Printer Setup Utility works correctly.
    If you want to do that, I think the safest thing to do is to get the most current version of the framework and you can do that by loading it from the OS X 10.3.9 combo update. Here are the basic steps to follow:
    - You will need to install an app called Pacifist.
    - You will also need to download Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9. After you download this update, open its disk image and extract the .pkg file to your desktop.
    - Start Pacifist and then use it to open the .pkg file from the combo update.
    - Use the Search command in Pacifist to search for PrintCore.framework (use lower and upper case as shown). After Pacifist finds and highlights this framework, click the Install button.
    That should do it. The framework on your computer will be replaced with framework from the combo update. I hope that this fixes your problem.

  • 'Printer setup utility' problem...please help me.

    Hi all, running tiger 10.4.11, trying to connect an Epson DA4050 printer.
    It's not showing when I try to 'add printer' in systems prefs, so have attempted to open Printer Setup Utility and I get the message - 'The item cannot be opened. It may be disabled or not installed'.
    Sure enough its not showing up in the utilities folder, so I'm assuming this is the problem. How can I install just this without reinstalling the whole system?
    Any help gratefully received - thanks.

    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • C6180 does not appear in my list of printers in Printer setup utility (mac OS X 10.4.11)

    My C6180 was printing slowly so I followed the steps in the forum (unplugging, holding down the buttons, etc. ... Shut down, restart, etc.) Now it doesn't appear in my list of available printers when I try to set up again in the Printer Setup Utility. My software is updated. How to I get it in the list. I've been around in circles and I may have messed up some settings in trying to solve this. I have to print stuff for work. Freaking out a little. Help.

  • Locating my printer setup utility

    I dont seem to have a printer setup utility how do i get one to add my new printer to?
    did it go the way of my virex when i loaded leopard? cause im getting this error msg to list the new printer in the setup utility and my search provides no printer setup utility. is there a way to get this as a download?

    Yes ... here is a list of what I have done:
    loaded the driver from supplied disk for printer lexmark x5470
    followed directions of error msg and looked for the printer setup utility ... could not find
    called lexmark (2ce)
    1st time said I needed to down load the driver from their web site, which I did ... no resolution
    2nd time they said I needed aforementioned utility and for me to contact Mac
    (Mac has no phone support available for me or live online support so here I am at the discussion
    boards)
    reloaded Leopard ... still did not get a file called printer setup utility ... printer worked briefly and
    then back to receiving error message. mainly from printing attempts from the web (only file I
    could print from HD was a .tif file. all other .doc or .rtf would not print.)
    opened disc utility and verified disc permissions ... some errors related to lexmark then repaired
    tried moving the downloaded patch from lexmark around to applications and then to the lexmark
    folder its self but nothing seemed to help
    Is there not a Mac tech out there that could help?

  • HP Series 1600 Printer and Printer setup utility

    I just purchased an HP 1600 printer
    and loaded the software
    When I go to add the printer in the Printer setup Utility
    the name shows up but it says that it can't find the drivers
    I have tried the fixamac software to try and fix the problem but that doesn't seem to be working either
    is there a work around that mac supports or should I just buy another Printer
    Thanks

    Thanks for the info regarding your OS.  And no need to apologize! 
    That's very odd that you do not see your printer listed in the Programs list (no - it would not be the HP Support Solutions Framework).  That leads me to believe your printer is not actually installed.  If it were, you should see something like this (note that I have more printers installed than a regular user )
    So...if you don't see your HP Photosmart C4180 listed here, then I would say to go ahead and try to install the full driver.  The instructions in my previous post would be the same, but since you have Windows 7, this would be the right document to help walk you through the steps.
    Thanks!

  • Epson 4800 Ethernet IPP Network Cant Add PRINTER SETUP UTILITY

    Greetings!
    Any known issues?
    Does anyone have this working??
    I am having a time TRYING to ADD a new Epson 4800 printer, Epson Ethernet card onto new Mactel laptop and new quad G5 (both 10.4.7).
    Epson NetConfig Utility sees the printer and set an IPP address.
    However, Apple PRINTER SETUP UTILITY Add IP printer isn't working.
    I had qualified Epson support taking me through the steps...he said some issues with the Intel books, but that doesn't explain why the G5 isn't working.
    Three hours yesterday and I'm back on it later today...any tips/info appreciated.

    Hi all,
    I recently bought an Epson Stylus DX4850 and I'll be damed if I get the thing installed on my Intel based Mac! This is driving me mad, I've been told that it is compatable. I've downloaded all the drivers from the Epson website but when I go to add the printer it's not listed. Does this mean that I need to use a different driver or gimp driver?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and would prevent me from going insane!
    Many thanks, Jon

  • CAN'T GET PRINTER TO ADD IN PRINTER SETUP UTILITY

    I've recently purchased a Epson DX4850 printer for use on a Mac using 10.3.9. I installed without problem and it worked fine for first 4 days. Then the driver seemed to disappear. I tried to readd through printer setup utility but it came up with message "SERVER ERROR SERVICE UNAVAILABLE". I tried reinstalling, redownloading driver from Epson website, deleting prefernces and reinstalling but it wouldn't work.
    I don't get the message anymore but when I try to add printer it says its found printer driver do I want to refresh the screen but then when I click ok nothing happens.
    Under Epson USB it's blank and under USB it has Stylus driver with a ? and not installed.
    I've had the printer checked and that works fine.
    CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ?

    Sorry Hirsty I can't help but just to go on the list that I"m having similiar problems with my Canon ip4200. I'm running 10.3.7 and can't even find the drivers even though I've installed them from the disc and then from a download. Still won't show up.

  • Printer Setup Utility will not allow new driver to be added

    I just bought a Canon Pixma MP960, installed the drivers and then downloaded the driver from their website. When I go to add a new driver in Printer Setup Utility--i highlight the MP960 connected thru USB, but the 'add' feature is not lit up. When i have it search for new drivers, it detects a new driver, but when I hit 'add'--Printer Setup Utility "unexpectedly quits" every time. The only drivers in there are beta thingies that do not work w/ my printer.
    The Canon tech guy says that there is a problem with my Printer Setup Utility--but i can't seem to find a solution online. I don't know much about macs, but can I update the Printer Utility program or something? help!

    Part of the problem might be if you actually have more than one version of the driver for the printer installed on the computer. Check the drivers at Mac OS X disk/Library/Printers/Canon/ and make sure there is only one plugin for the printer. If you have more than one, trash both and download and install only the driver from Canon that is compatible for Mac OS X 10.4.x. After you install the driver, run Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility. If you have only one correct printer driver plugin installed, it should work.

  • Lexmark x4650 Not Added to Printer Setup Utility

    I'm trying to set up a Lexmark x4650 as a shared printer on a wireless network. I got one computer set up and it works perfectly. I've tried setting up the second computer, a MBP, and after getting through the whole setup process it says that the printer was not added to the printer setup utility and to launch it and add it manually.
    I'm sick of trying to set it up manually. Does anyone know why the setup app might not be working?

    Wish I could help. The same model Lexmark is acting strange with me too. I have it wirelessly installed no problem on a windows PC and my wife's MacBook Pro but my plain ol' MacBook 13'' can't find the printer. I have to either plug it in USB or use it shared from the Pro.
    Furthermore I have trouble reading the instillation cd. It makes horrible lawn mower pull cord like noises in the drive and only works after ejecting many times. Every other cd seems fine though and neither of the other two computers had trouble with it.
    Like you no dice manually either.
