Add a printer

I am trying to set up wireless printing on my Canon MX860 but not having much luck. Just bought a MacBook Pro with the new OS X Lion 10.7.1, does it support ad-hoc mode (peer-to-peer)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first Mac, the learning curve is pretty steep...

I forgot to mention it works fine hard wired via USB. I've tried unplugging the USB and connecting the printer to my Linksys router and rebooted the printer to obtain an IP address, no luck sith that either.

Mixed Mac & PC PCs no longer showing up in "shared"cant add windows printer

Hi all,
I have noticed that none of the PCs on my network at work are showing up in finder under the 'shared' section, hasnt really been a big deal, i have shortcuts to all the network folders/printers i need to access (main printer is shared from a XP machine)
but with the recent installation of an SSD drive i thought rather then clone old stuff id start fresh
installed 10.6.5 on my late 2009 Macbook, no worries
have done all the updates.
went to print, oh thats right i need to set it up.
it is not showing the printer in the 'windows' section of add printer.. Hmm i thought, thats odd, I booted off my old drive, yep, could still print but there is nothing listed if i try to add a new printer.
jump onto a windows 7 machine, yep, there is all the PC's and macs on the network.
jump onto the iMac based 10.6 server, Hmm IT cant see any PC's or shared printers either.
now if i goto the addresses manually they mount and i can access them, but unlike windows, i can only mount volumes, i cannot mount the networked system and then select 'add this printer'
I have looked around, from editing DNS settings, changing my samba.conf file etc, nothing works.
the odd thing is that when im at home, my laptop can see the NAS, networked PC's ect no problem, so its somthing here, not this mac, but on the network.
I run an IPcop based firewall for the sole purpose of cacheing microsoft and Apple updates (I run a computer repair shop , these updates are a killer on the 'ol download allowance)
i have restarted the modem, firewall, network hubs etc, still no joy.
it was probably just over a month ago i remember adding the front counter printer to this mac on its old HDD without issue, so something in the last month has gone kaplewie.
Any suggestions are welcome but unfortunatley the network structure is a bit too involved to disconnect all systems and plug into a basic hub :/ - this setup has been working for 3 years with very little issue
what gets me, while my MAcbook is fully up to date and may be the target of blame (failed update or somthing) the iMac server has not been updated for 9 months since we put 10.6 server on it, so it wasnt not an update that caused this.
is there some odd chance that a new PC on the network maybe causing some issue?
wow, long post.. sorry..
any help greatly appreciated!

How do I add/remove print apps on my printer?

The way you add apps to your printer varies depending on the model.
I. On the following printers, use the "Get More" icon on the device to add additional print apps directly on the device: When you select the "Get More" icon on your printer front panel display, you will see a list of available apps for your pinter, and you can select and add apps to your printer from there:
HP Photosmart c309n-s
HP Photosmart Premium C310 series
HP Photosmart eAll-in-One Printer D410 series
To remove apps on these printers, select the "Get More" icon, and then select the "Manage Apps" button (at the top-left of the Touchsmart Web Apps" screen that appears). That will open the "Manage My Favorites" screen where you can remove apps by selecting the "X" on the app icons.
Any configuration required for print apps (e.g., entering Zip Code) on these devices will be prompted for when you run the print app.
II. On the HP eStation (with the removable tablet display).
Add apps: Select the tab (with the upwards arrow on it) at the bottom of the screen to open the app drawer. Then select the Add Apps option at the bottom of the screen to view available print apps.
Delete apps: Select the tab (with the upwards arrow on it) at the bottom of the screen to open the app drawer. Scroll down to display the Print Apps section. Select the Delete option and then select the app you wish to delete.
III. On other web-connected printers, if you select the "Get More" icon it will provide you the web site address for HP ePrintCenter - www.hpeprintcenter.com. You go there to add new apps, view apps on your printer, and setup/remove apps from your printer.
For those devices, to add more print apps:
Go to www.hpeprintcenter.com and log into your account. If you don't have an account yet, create an account and add your printer. Information on doing that can be found here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/Add-your-printer-to-your-HP-ePrintCenter-accou...
Select the "Get More Print Apps" link in the Print Apps section (below the ePrint section).
Select the icon of the print app you want to install, and then on the print app detail page select the "Add to Printer" button. If the print app requires setup, after adding it you will see a "Setup" button which you should select to configure the print app so it is ready to use.
To remove apps on these printers, select the "My Apps" link to display the apps installed on your device. Hold your mouse over the print app you would like to remove and a red X will appear, select the red X to remove the app.
As soon as you add or remove the print app from the HP ePrintCenter it will be removed/added on your printer...select the "Apps" icon to see all currently installed apps on your printer.
Note: Not all print apps are supported on all printers, and apps may be limited to cetain countries or languages. If you don't see a print app you are looking for when you access the "Get More Print Apps" link, that app is not currently available for your printer. We are regularly working on creating new apps and extend the printers on which existing apps are available, and you will see a star notification icons on the Get More icon on your printer when new apps are available.

Add a Print button to a Report Page

I'm trying to add a Print button to a report page to render the page in printer-friendly mode and then give the user the option to send to a printer. I started with just trying to add a print button. I added a button to the region and added to the button request value javascript:window.print();. When I click on the print button, nothing happens. So I tried to add some html code:
<form>
<input type="BUTTON" value="Print" onClick="window.print()">
<form>
as a condition in Expression 1 when I selected "Current page is NOT in Printer Friendly mode". Nothing happens when I click on the print button. Can anyone offer some steps to create this functionality or point me to documentation on how to do this? I have tried the help documentation within APEX and isn't clear to me.
Thanks

The documentation wasn't very clear to me. I did try one suggestion to create a region on the report page and call it Print. The suggestion is then to add the following code to the Source Region section:
<form>
<input type='BUTTON' value="Print this page" onClick="window.print()">
<form>
The example however leaves out some significant information however. What is the region created as e.g. HTML, Report, Form, URL, etc?

How Do I add Bonjour printer to groups of Macs

I have a few HP 2600n (running with bonjour over network) I want to add all of these to 40 iMacs in one hit, I cannot do this via Server admin can I? If not then is it possible to send out a command to add the printer with its designated name to all the iMacs?
Thanks in Advance..

Workgroup Manager in 10.4 and later allows you to manage which Printers are allowed under
Preferences > Printing.
The pane opens with a list of all the printers installed on the Mac you are using, and allows you to open Print Utility and look for more. You can manage these printers by Computer List, by group, or by individual user (or ad-hoc clumps of users). But these Preferences would have to be blended with your existing Printer Preferences management.
Because you said these are Bonjour Printers, they are visible on the network. Sharing a printer attached to a single Mac may require a few more steps.

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.

How do i add a printer to my account?

I want to be able to print. How can I add my printer

Hi deneahj20471770,
Please elaborate--what are trying to print from? In general, the printer setup is a function of your operating system. If you want to add a printer, you need to install the appropriate printer driver. When the printer driver is installed, you should be able to access that printer from any of your installed applications.
If you tell us what operating system you're on, and what you're printing to, we should be able to point you in the right direction.
Best,
Sara

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.

I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active. Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue.

This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
Hope this helps.

hi . I had the simalar problems of my HP b209a-m printer not being seen on my wireless network> I could not add the printer and could not get the printer to join my network, I found this post at HP discussion and it worked!
Each printer has different options/settings but it seems like the general idea should work ok if you can reset printer back to factory settings and find Printer IP Adress.
This is for HP printers
1. On the printer navigate to the Wireless or Network menu.
2. Select Restore Defaults.
3. On your computer look for a wireless network named 'hpsetup' and connect to it.
4. Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to see its IP address. (on my b209a-m Printer the IP info was found by pressing the Wireless Icon)
5. Type the IP address into the address bar of a web browser to see the printer's internal settings.
6. Click on the Network tab and look for the Wireless Setup Wizard and run it.
7. The Passphrase is the password you use on your wireless connection.
8. Now change the network name on your computer back to your wireless network.
The printer will now be connected to your network. With your the computer backyour wireless network network, you can re-add the printer from System Preferences.
Hope this works--- it did for me.
