Where are the print drivers found?

I have a Brother HL 2040 laser printer. THe Brother website has a version 2.2 driver for this printer. I downloaded and installed. When I add the printer I keep getting version 1.4 driver.
Can someone tell me where are the drivers found on my iMac?
Also I am trying to get this to print via a Linksys wireless print server. Do I use the ip address for the print server or the printer when adding this.
I tried using the print server IP but I get a "printer paused" issue. I think I need the new print driver.
thanks in advance for any help.

I have not gotten the driver to update to the newest version. I deleted the Brother Folders as mentioned in the replies, no joy. No matter what I do it ends up 1.4 not 2.0.
Version 1.4 worked OK for a USB connection, so I went forward with trying to get the network connection going. By trying every combination available I got it to work.
What HP jetdesk-socket has to do with my printer...escapes me. But that combination with version 1.4 driver works.
I will leave well enough alone.
I have 2 other computer to update to SL.....maybe.

  • Where are downloaded printer drivers found in OS 10.7.2?

    Installing Okidata C5500 printer on my iMac running OS 10.7.2 using downloaded driver.  Where do I tell the Add Printer dialog box to look for the actual driver file?

    You posted this in the Tiger (OS 10.4) forum. I've asked it be moved to Lion.

    When you go to the Epson website for this particular printer it says:
    "The latest drivers for this product are available only via Apple's Software Update."
    And finally, when you go to Software Update it says: "No updates available"
    I second OMT8.
    Yes, the driver file at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 allowed me to finally install my printer, but does Apple have _any idea_ how long it takes to download a 1.08GB file over a 1.5mbps DSL connection?
    Never mind how much of my pricey new SSD is being consumed by the resulting 1.80GB of driver files all for _one_ printer driver that should maybe occupy 200K?
    Or that the primary article on OS X printer drivers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669) -- which does indicate that the Artisan 830 is supported -- does not mention or link to the driver file that's needed to make it work?
    Or what a complete violation of Apple's "it just works" gestalt it is to be confronted with the above Catch-22 and to have to search the web and then go through all of the above to make a new laptop talk to a two-year-old printer?
    Yes, my printer now works, and yes, Apple's Support Communities were instrumental in getting to this point. But spending all morning (plus download time) getting a printer driver installed tastes way too much like I paid for Apple and got Microsquish.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless - Where are the printing shortcuts?????

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless Printer
    Windows 7
    Where are the printing shortcuts?????
    I just replaced a canon printer that died that had the concept of PROFILES, so that I could setup a PROFILE for each type of printing, i.e. 4X6 photos/documents/5X7 photos.  So it was easy for our family to print, they would pick each setting.
    Now with latest driver for 8600 there are NO way to save a set of settings for a printer.   I have seen some old discussions on this but I just can't believe HP doesn't have this type of functionality in their drivers.  I don't need the ePrint and all the other bogus stuff installed with the 8600 driver, but I DO NEED the ability to save different sets of printing options so I don't have to remember, borderless or not, landscape or not, etc and keep wasting photo paper/ink/regular paper with incorrect options.
    Here is another posting with similar points -> Customers are NOT getting full print functionality.  We don't care about the extra software, it is minimal.  Full functionality includes the ability to create profiles for different printing situations so that the user can easily choose that profile (and therefore all the myriad settings for that profile).  What HP has done is give us ONE profile, essentially, and every time you want to do something different, you have to change that ONE profile.  How is that helping?
    As I said, if I want to switch from a normal printing job (e-mail, web page, etc.) which uses my ONE setting, and then want to print a 4x6 photo, I have to remember to change at least 6 different settings.  With the shortcut, I would select my "borderless photo" shortcut, and it would automatically switch paper trays, size, color, quality, you name it.  Now you force me to change that each and every time.
    If someone can explain why this is considered full functionality I would be extremely grateful.

    Hello,
    I am sorry you are having trouble with your print experience.
    I am going to make some assumptions here, which could be wrong in your case, but might help others.  Since you mention printing from Windows7 and ePrint in the same thread, can I assume you are trying to print using the HP ePrint driver for windows (www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware) ?  The ePrint driver also comes preinstalled on all HP laptops and pcs now, so maybe you made a recent pc purchase and therefore have the ePrint driver installed?
    The goal of the ePrint windows driver currently has a lot less to do with providing the hundreds of print features and settings that the full featured, product specific print drivers provide.  The goal is to enable customers to be able to print to any recent or new HP printer through a number of different connection paths from a single installed print driver / print queue.  Once the ePrint driver is installed, printing with that driver will dynamically find direct network printers, cloud enabled printers, public print locations, direct wireless printers, etc., and create the correct print format depending on the print path taken.  If the printer is ePrint cloud enabled and has a good internet connection, the printer and the pc do not have to be in the same location.  For example, you can print from home to your printer at work.  You can send photos of the kids to your mom's printer in another state, etc.  The ePrint solution is also good for the traveling worker who just wants to send the occasional print job to the nearest network or wireless direct printer without having to find and install another print driver for each new printer.  One driver, one queue and you can print to any recent or new HP printer.
    The ePrint driver has a few important print settings that customers may want to use (copies, duplex, grayscale, etc).  More may be added over time depending on demand.
    BTW, because the ePrint driver does not have a ton of print settings to handle, the rendering of print jobs is as simple and efficient as possible and should not bog down your pc.
    If you want all the bells and whistles in the print driver experience and just want to print to a single printer you can download and install the product specific print driver from hp.com  
    I hope that helps out a few people who may be wondering what the purpose of ePrint is!!
    Good luck.
    I am an HP employee, but these are my own thoughts and suggestions

  • Where are the HP drivers?

    Hi,
    Apple itself mentiones HP drivers for e.g. the HP DeskJet 6127, they say Version 3.3.1, besides the Gutenprint 5.1.3 drivers. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306684)
    Where are these HP drivers? I cannot find them, even after installation of all drivers from the Leopard DVD.
    Matthew

    Hi Matthew
    Yes, I know... and?
    Thanks for your reply but if I try to install my printer (you guessed: a HP DeskJet 6127 , only the Gutenprint drivers are offered. And even if I select one of the *.plugins or *.drivers, nothing happens...
    Ugly graphics and no duplex printing - far behind the printing capabilities I had under Tiger...
    Where is the improvement?

  • Where are the printer profiles in Mt. Lion 10.8.5? I want to install paper manufacturer's profiles.

    I want to install paper manufacturer's profiles. All of my existing profiles were carried over when I upgraded to 10.8 but i do not find anything like the previous Color Sync folder. Where do I put the new profiles? And why can't Spotlight find the existing ones? BTW, I can't find them on my iMac running 10.7.5 either.

    Where are the rest?
    Depends. For Epson printers, they're in the /Library/Printers/EPSON/ folder, and that itself varies. For the Stylus Pro 4900, they're in that folder, and then another couple of subfolders deep in InjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles. Sometimes they're tucked away in a .plugin or .framework file within the EPSON folder, or one of its subfolders. In short, they're not always easy to find. At least not with Spotlight.
    To make your search way easier, download the free EasyFind. Turn on the check boxes to look within Package contents, and Invisible Files & Folders. There's nothing on the drive that can hide from you. Then do a search for .icc .
    But unless your objective is to remove a long list of profiles you'll never use, there's no need to find these other obscure locations OS X lists profiles from. Just put the ones you want to use in either the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder (if you want all users of that Mac to have access to the profiles), or the ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder (the tilde means your user account). Only you will have access to the profiles if placed there.

  • Where are the Mac Drivers for Windows 7 installation?

    Where can i find the mac drivers for the windows 7 installation?

    If you have a Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, they are available as a download. You can download them from Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) or from the Apple site.
    If you have a Mac with Leopard or Snow Leopard, they are included in the Mac OS X disc that came with your Mac or in the Snow Leopard DVD. However, as you are going to run Windows 7, you can find more recent drivers in the Apple site as Boot Camp Support Software, depending on the Windows editions your Mac supports > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634

  • Where are the bootcamp drivers for an early 2007 imac? (Upgraded to leopard

    The discs are Tiger discs, and when inserted into the mac (running xp), are shown to not contain the bootcamp drivers. Where can I download the drivers for this computer?

    Is this link what you need? The drivers will be on your Leopard disks. I think your post states that you upgraded to Leopard.

  • Where are the bootcamp drivers?

    Hi... My Bootcamp assistant keeps failing to save the WindowsSupport files to my USB flash drive, which seemingly resets the download - due to my sloooow internet, this is a major inconvenience.
    I've been searching my computer for "WindowsSupport" "Bootcamp" etc., but find nothing.
    Where are they stored?

    They are stored on Apple servers, in the cloud, and this has always been weak - poorly supported - crippled - to name just a few adjectives.
    And it was first beta tested / introduced / suppose to be implemented - a full year ago in 10.6.6.
    My iPod finds, actually finds, new updates for its apps. So it is a lack of intention and direction and mandate.
    I assume you can't get to a store or other location that might be better able.
    People are saying Boot Camp 4.01+ are better than Snow Leopard 3.x drivers but those do work for Windows 7 if you have access to DVD AND you don't have a Mac that came out in 2011. I wouldn't mind $9 but $30 for a set of drivers might be steep, to get 10.6.x DVD.

  • Where are the Printing Presets in Acrobat located on Mac?

    I have just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. All of my applications seem to be working fine, however my printing presets in Acrobat Pro X 10.1.13 are missing. Can I restore them from a Time Machine backup and if so where would they located? There seem to be a number of Library files related to Acrobat, but I'm not sure which ones contain the printing presets. I'm printing to an Epson Stylus Pro 3880. I don't want to have to re-create all the printing presets for that machine if I don't have to. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on how to restore my much needed presets.

    Kelvin:
    Did you save the presets and give them a unique name so they could be selected at a later time?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Where Are the Printing Presets?

    I've got several printing presets created. I select a photo and click the print icon. In the print dialog that appears there is a Printer drop down menu and Presets drop down menu. Despite having several presets only Standard is in the drop down menu. When I click on Print the next print dialog appears and I can choose the presets from that drop down menu.
    What's the use for the preset drop down menu in the main print dialog? Is this caused by the Epson driver. I'm using an R200.
    Thanks

  • [SOLVED]Where are the sata drivers?

    Hi people,
    I just bought a brandnew msi 770-C45 mainboard and want to install XP Pro.
    Now I know that you have to make a floppy with the sata drivers, but where are they? With every sata driver I tried XP only see 131Gb instead of the 320Gb.
    When I try a customized XP CD with integrated SATA drivers it work perfectly.
    Unfortunately after research I was not able to extract the sata drivers from the CD.
    Only I don't want customized XP, but the original XP.
    I also tried to search on the chipset, but no succeed.
    Normally they are on the CD. I tried every SATA/RAID folder and copy it to a floppy (per folder separatedly ofcourse  ) I tried the following folders:
    H:\ChipSet\AMD\XP\SBDrv\SATA (most likely, but strange that they talk about putting a sata card into the system)
    H:\RAID\Silicon_Image (tried all the three folders: SIL3114, SIL3132 and 3531)
    If you know where I can find the right drivers for a clean XP Pro 32bit install or which files to use, would be great!
    Thanks in advance :-)

    OK, thanks for the answers guys! :-)
    First post of Svet didn´t had the sentence ¨Use XP installation disk with SP2 or SP3 included/integrated¨.
    That was why I asked further. The normal XP here with me doesn´t has any SP onboard.
    I will slipstream the XP Pro with SP2 and try it.
    Again thanks!
    EDIT: Works like a charm  :D XP is installing on my sata, thanks dudes  , you

  • WTF!?!?!??!?!??! Where are the Audigy drivers?? ETA?? Anythin

    Funny how Logitech supports any mouse that they have ever released with frequent software updates to boot.
    Funny how my Audigy works perfectly in Ubuntu no thanks to Creative.
    Funny how x-fi drivers seem to be getting released at a lot faster pace than Audigy ones.
    And please any fanboys do not try to give me the "Vista sound architecture is so complex" crap, im sure a multi million dollar company is able to hire some competent programmers to be able to figure it out.

    Here's my impression after talking to the guy who directed me to this forum, reading this forum, and hearing the gripes of a few other users....
    Creative will continue to drag you guys along about some 'alleged' support promises until they are able to completely liquidate the inventory they are pushing on their ebay store. Once they have gotten rid of that excessi've inventory - they will quietly end of life the audigy series...then you will not even be able to?pay to get?support. They may try to milk it with the alchemy software, but I think they're realizing the only way folks are going to be?obtaining what they feel like they should not have to pay for - is to steal it...so they won't make much money off the majority of audigy owners there. Sucks, cuz they at least made an (half-assed) attempt at something
    It wasn't until folks complained to ebay?that?Creative even bothered to take the vista certified logos off their ads on the ebay store.....surely decepti've to say the least. They are still trying to get 00 bucks for refurbed audigys!!!!
    My advice, pawn those things off to someone you don't know or like, and run like hell from Creative's (lack of) support. Think of all the things you could do with the extra time you won't have to spend reading forums or screwing with non-working software!!!!!
    Oh about the Ubuntu drivers....wouldn't it be great if creative would?allow?the incredibly?talented programmers out there?an opportunity to write some fully supported open-source drivers/software? Funny thing is, if they hadn't been so adamant about refusing to open up EAX for everyone - it may have seen some support in Vista.....Creative pulled a Sony and shot themselves in the foot big time.

  • HT3986 Bootcamp: Where are the network drivers?

    Hello All,
       Just got my full copy of Windows 7 Home Premium Edition yesterday and installed it using boot camp. Seemed to go alright. Unfortunately, I can't get onto the internet from it. Doing the Windows trouble shooting, it looks like the drivers weren't installed. Okay, I'm sort familiar with this problem.
      Looking on the Apple Boot Camp support, it seems I'm supposed to use my OS System Disk to get the required drivers. Well, this 2 month old MacBook Pro didn't come with a system disk. I thought system disks were a thing of the past with OS 7.
      The other option I have is that I burned something to a CD during the installation process. Looking at this CD's contents, I see a folder marked "drivers". Excellent! But what is my next step?
        In the "Boot Camp" folder are: autorun.inf, Boot Camp Installation & Set Up Guide.Pdf, BootCamp.xml, BootCamp64.xml, Documentation, Drivers, Setup.ex. Within the "Drivers" folder there are folders for Apple, Asix, Atheros, ATI, Broadcom, Cirrus, IDT SigmaTel, Intel, Marvell, MotorolaSetup.exe, NVidia and RealTek.
      So, which drivers do I need and how do I get them onto the computer? And is this something I need to do from OS 7 or Windows7? The documentation says you just pop the CD in from Windows and follow the on-screen instructions. Nothing happened. Am I doing the process correctly?
    Thank you.
    Brian

    The cited ANSWER needs some clarification. When you go to Finder -> Preferences, there are two places to ensure "Connected Servers" is enabled. The one under General tab will put the share icon on your desktop. The one under Sidebar tab under SHARED doesn't work (seemingly) if the share is a Windows administrative share (e.g. D: drive shared as D$). I don't know why, but there's no D$ under my Finder Sidebar even with this option selected. Checking the option under General setting does indeed stick a D$ icon on my desktop.
