"Add Printer" not functioning

Hello-
I've been experiencing a weird problem within my Printer Setup Utility. When i click the "Add +" icon to add a printer to my queue(sp?), nothing happens... nothing.
I first tried it with a laser printer connected vis ethernet to my wireless Belkin router. Nothing happened when I tried to add it via the Setup Utility, but I was able to add through the print dialogue box under Rendeveaux Printers.
My current problem is with my USB-connected Epson C88+, just purchased new today (it's currently working perfectly through my fiance's powerbook). I've installed the driver, restarted, even ran Disk Utility to check if anything crazy was going on (there were alot of incorrect permissions with an /EPSON in the file name).
The Printer Setup Utility is still unresponsive when I click the Add icon, well technically the only response I get is the on-click dimming of the icon. But that is it.
Does anyone have any advice to remedy the situation?
thanks,
Chris
PS- I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.1... with a recently replaced HD.

I have been having exactly the same problem as CJenksus. The Printer Setup Utility's Add function sees my AppleTalk printer, but when I select the printer and click the Add button, nothing happens. Like CJenksus, I have no "Reset Printing System" menu command, above "Quit Printer Setup Utility" or anywhere else. The Printer Setup Utility's "About" box shows version 3.0, copyright 1999-2003. Is there a newer version available, and where can I get it? Or is there something else I can do to get it to add my printer?
I'm running OS X 1.4.10 on a dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 with 1.5 GB RAM and a 160 GB hard disk.

  • Add Print Preview function in FB03

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement to add the print preview function to view payment voucher in FB03.
    The scenario is such that whenever user enter the document number in FB03 or access vendor line item (FBL1N) and double click on the line item, system will direct them to FB03 screen. Therefore whenever user does that, they will be able to see the print preview function to view payment voucher and thus print it as and when required.
    Currently they have only the spool to view and print and spool could not keep the items for a long time. Therefore this requirement exists.
    Thus are there any ways that I could attach a print preview function to the standard SAP FB03? or how do I provide them the view function as and when they need it in the system. The users do not want to have a customise program to have them enter the document number, company code in order to view. They want the function to exist concurrent to the document number anytime whenever they want it.
    Need advice.

    Hi
    Many thanks for your assistance.
    First of all when user run F110, there will be a payment voucher generated together and this will be stored in the spool but spool can only store the information for a certain period of time. This payment voucher has the document number attached to it. Hence the users requirement is that they would want to view the payment voucher as and when required either from vendor line item (FBL1N) or FB03.  Currently, there are no such button in FBL1N or FB03 which allow to view payment voucher.
    Therefore how can I attach the payment voucher to those accounting document for the users whenever they run vendor line item or FB03 on an ad hoc basis?
    They do not want a customise program to key in the document number and view the payment voucher from there. It is double work for them and as such to attach a print preview function to either FBL1N or FB03.

  • Printer Setup Utility - Add Printer not working

    I am visiting my grandparents over the holidays and brought my computer along but no printers. G-pa tells me I can use his HP Photosmart 325 (which has never been used). However, I must download the driver/software online b/c he can't find the CD. So, I go to HP and download all the necessary files. Once all is installed, I connect the printer and go to the printer setup utility to add the printer, like I have done a million times before. There in the printer list I choose the ADD icon and it brings me to the printer browser menu. There it is listed, Photosmart 320 Series connection type USB, yeah I think.... BUT NO, I click on the printer and the ADD button is dimmed, and will not allow me to click it. Soooo I see on the bottom there is Name, Location, and Print Using section. I try Print Using, and select HP, but once selected there is NO HP model that remotely matches my printer!
    What in the world is going on?

    This is the exact same thing that is happening to me. I have an older Canon card printer (CP-200), and a recent Epson inkjet (Stylus Photo R280), both of which I cannot set up properly. In both cases, I get to the Add screen, and the default browser finds my printer, but I can only add after I choose a driver. Even after repeatedly installing/uninstalling the drivers from Canon and Epson, I cannot find my printer models in the drop down list of printer drivers. There are some Gimp-print drivers there, but not for my exact model, and since I have installed the vendor's own driver already, why can't I use it? This is so frustrating! Please help!

  • HP laserjet M1120n MFP printer not functioning properly with Lion

    After installing this printer it will scan but with some flaws in the scanned image and it will not print at all.
    All that it displays is that there is an error after attempting to print. I'm wondering if there is some special driver that I need?
    The printer is about 4yrs old.
    Thank you

    Your printer should be supported in Lion. Check to make sure you have the latest drivers installed. Make sure the driver for it is selected in the printer list.
    You might try deleting the printer and reading it once the latest driver and software is installed.

  • Add printer not sticking through restart

    Hello,
    Something's gone wrong with my printers in that I can't add a printer until I reset the printing system (error message). Then the printer stays (and works fine) until the next time I start up, when I need to reset the printing system again and re-add the printer.
    any ideas on this?
    thanks in advance

  • Loop add button not functioning correctly

    Hey all,
    I have been trying to get a for loop to produce buttons based
    on a value.
    My current code is:
    var xPosition:Number = 50;
    var yPosition:Number = 15;
    //problem one is that "rows" is a variable from the html page
    the swf is
    on, I have had it working on other flash programs, but unable
    to get it
    working on this, but for the purpose of this, I can replace
    it with a
    numeric value e.g. "3".
    //but this causes the main problem, if it is set to 3, the
    3rd button
    only appears, if set to 2 the 2nd button only appears.
    for(i=0;i<rows;i++){
    _root.attachMovie("button","btn"+i,_root.getNextHighestDepth());
    _root["btn"+i]._x = xPosition;
    _root["btn"+i]._y = yPosition;
    yPosition = yPosition + 25;
    //Does anyone have any idea's for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Slpixe

    trace(btn0); ect
    i was tracing out the btn in the loop. because its only
    appearing once
    is resulting in only 1 button appearing at a time,
    I attempted having the resulting button componnents all
    returning
    different names, but that resulted in no buttons appearing
    (_root.attachMovie("button"+i,"btn"+i,) i tried
    OMG WOW
    100+i works! all the buttons are appearing now! =D
    Will do some testing
    Thanks loads guys

  • "add a note" issue

    Dear forum members.
    I'm working with acrobat 7.0.5 professional. My pdf document is a learning tool, preparing the students for a test. I contains hundreds of questions, below each question there are three anwers, one of them is the correct one.
    Example:
    What is the name of the US president?
    a) Clinton
    b) Obama
    c) Reagan
    If I move my mouse over the question, a little window should open with the correct answer.
    I've tried to use the "add a note" function. I placed a note next to the question. When I move the mouse over the note icon a window opens and show me the answer. So far so good. Here my questions:
    a) If I click on the note another note window opens . How can I avoid  this window to open?
    b) If I open my pdf document with " Preview" and I click on one of the notes all notes will open. How to avoid it?
    c) do you have any hints how I can create my question catalogue ?
    Thank you
    Paldo

    Hi,
    a) If I click on the note another note window opens . How can I avoid  this window to open?
    I guess you should use form "tooltips" instead of a note.

    b) If I open my pdf document with " Preview" and I click on one of the notes all notes will open. How to avoid it?
    Never use Preview for opening PDF files, it's a dangerous soft :

  • How do I connect a Lexmark x6570 printer to my iMac wirelessly?  The basic user guides are not helping me and the add printer is not finding my printer...

    How do you connect a lexmark x6570 printer to an iMac wirelessly?  The basic user manuals are not helpful as the printer is not showing up when using the add printer function.  I my printer is working fine wirelessly with my windows laptop so it appears to be functioning fine.  This is my first time using an Apple at home...
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    I am using a Mac with this router. Any ideas how I can set it up to print wireless. Im not a tech person so this gets confusing for me sometimes.

  • Work-around for Add Printer pane not working

    The problem I've had to deal with is that the Add Printer pane does not see any printers on the network, even ones that are already installed and working properly. The only solution I found is to use another computer with Leopard and get the printer IP address. Entering that makes everything work (proper driver found, print functioning properly).
    The Add Printer pane still cannot see the 2 HP Laserjets on the Ethernet or the Brother laser printer on USB. All three are listed in the installed Printers list. All three print. The Add Printer list Default pane is always blank. I can print but it looks like I won't be able to go to a new location and find the network printers without their IP addresses.

    Stephen,
    If your question is answered already, disregard. If not, given that the USB printers are not showing up either it sounds like a corrupt prefs file. If you right click on any of the printers in the list of printers and then select "Reset printing system.." from the list, it will delete all the preferences (and unfortunately all the print queues). At that point you should be seeing the printers in the Add Printer window again.
    Note however that if your HP LaserJets are old ones, you may not see them in the list even after doing this since AppleTalk is not included in Snow Leopard anymore. For those devices you'll need to manually add the printer queues using IP like you did.
    Just trying to help.

  • Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

    Hello.
    This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
    I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
    System Info:
    Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
    Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
    OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
    Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
    1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
    2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
    3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
    4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
    5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
    Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
    Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
    Thanks!

    Abhishek,
    Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
    I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
    I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
    And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
    First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
    Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
    And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
    I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
    Cheers!

  • The Add Printer button on the eprintcenter website on my screen is not working.

    I just registerd on the eprintcenter.com site and now I am trying to click on the +Add Printer button/icon to add my printer and it is not working. I have tried it in all different web browsers and it doesn't take me anywhere on any of the browsers. Sometimes I get the "javascript&colon;void(0)" message down in the left hand bottom portion of my screen when my mouse goes over that button. What is wrong? Is it your site or my computer?

    HP Photoprinter C7280 printer. The wireless radio is on but not functioning  - so am unable to gain wifi connection and print! - Why?   How do I fix, Thanks

    I would guess that the printer's wireless radio has died.  Have you tried plugging the printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable?  It should work and give you the same functions as wireless.  Your computer or router will not care how the printer is connected.

  • Hp photosmart c309a all in one series printer indicates the wireless radio is not functioning.

    The printer has had difficulty finding the wireless router.
    I had a problem with the print coming out on an angle.
    I cleaned the rollers with a dry rag now the wireless radio is not functioning at all.

    Try resetting the printer.  Turn it off.  Hold the # and 9 keys while turning it back on.
    If this does not work, call HP support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare (click on Printers & Monitors, use the phone number on the resulting page).
