Bonjour can't find installed driver

I am trying to set up in my office at work what I have working at home. At home I have an Airport Extreme Base Station with several Macs and a Dell laptop running without any problem off it. I have an Epson C88 hooked up to the Airport Extreme via USB and I am able to print from the Dell laptop to the Epson. I had to install the driver first with the Dell hooked up directly to the printer, otherwise Bonjour didn't recognize it. So today I tried to do this setup at my office. I have the same Airport Extreme connected to my iMac and also running a Toshiba laptop without a problem. I installed the driver for my HP 2600n Laserjet onto the Toshiba while it was connected to the HP printer. I was able to print to the printer fine. Then I connected the HP 2600n to my Airport Extreme. When I opened up Bonjour the HP 2600n showed up in the window but it says it is unable to find the driver. I reinstalled the driver without success. I tried using generic/postscript without success. I was able to print from my iMac via Bonjour to the HP 2600. And I was able to print from the Toshiba to my Canon MP620 which is connected directly to my iMac via USB. Bonjour recognized my Canon through my iMac but can't find the driver for the HP. What gives?

Thanks for the reply Greg. I'm confused then, because it leads you to believe that you can select a driver by choosing "other" in the add printer dialog.
Again, I already did used the combined updated to get to 10.4.7--that's what gave me the problem in the first place.
I checked the PPDs in the folder you mention and there isn't a single Canon mentioned.
I'm just not understanding why it knows exactly where to look to find "Canon IJ Printer Driver" when I'm hooked up through USB, but has no clue when it's through Bonjour.

Bonjour can't find Canon IJ driver but USB does

I've searched extensively and seen a lot of different versions of this problem, but no thread that answered my quesion.
I just upgraded my iBook 1.33 Ghz from 10.3.9 to 10.4.7. I'd been using my Canon iP5000 through my Airport Express for a year and a half, but now it won't work. I remember that when I first set it up, I had to make sure to connect it to USB first before using it with Airport, and it worked fine thereafter.
Now it refuses to find the driver. When I try to add a printer, it finds the iP5000 conntected to "Bonjour" immediately but can't find a driver. If I look in the folder of Canon options, there are many GiMP drivers listed, but none that work for my machine (any that I use cause the print to be far too light and/or don't see the sheet feeder tray).
I downloaded the most current driver from Canon, but they won't offer support beyond that because the iP5000 "isn't supported with Airport."
When I connect through USB, it finds the "Canon IJ Printer" driver immediately, but when I try to search for any such file manually, I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where the heck that driver gets put when the installer installs it?

Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

Try calling 1-800-676-2775. Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk). *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
Have you considered Snow Leopard?. Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

T400 Windows 7 64bit Can't Find Printer Driver

Hi all,
Perhaps someone can help with this puzzling problem. Just bought the T400 w/Win 7 64 bit from the Lenovo website. It is great except one thing.
I have a Win2k T22 ThinkPad on the network with a parallel port HP laserjet 6L and a USB port HP DeskJet 970cxi. When I go to add a printer on the T400, Win7 searches the network and finds the printers. For the 6L it downloaded a driver and it works fine. For the 970cxi it tries to find a driver from MS website but can not find a driver.
When I connect the970cxi printer directly to a USB port on the Win7 T400 it finds a driver and it works fine. But not over the network? Even after it found a driver when it was connected locally?
On the network is a Debian Linux computer that can print to both printers. I turned on printer sharing on it. The T400 can find the printers on the Linux box and can print to both the 6L and 970cxi.
I loaded VirtualBox on the T400 and then install Ubuntu Linux. The Ubunu Linux can find the printers and can print to both.
Does anyone know what the heck is going on here? Why can't the T400 find a driver for the 970cxi printer but when it's connected directly it finds the printer driver and works?
Is this a Win7 64 bit issue?
No driver available?
Communication problem w/printer?
Buy a new printer and throw out a perfectly good printer?
Thanks,
Rich
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I did as you suggested but now get a different error: 0x00000214
I googled this and found others with the same problem. Tried the solution and it worked!
Here's the link:
Network Printer Problem Link
In case the link gets broken I cut and pasted it here:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel and double click Devices and Printers.
2. Click Add a Printer.
3. Select "Add a local printer".
4. Select "Create a new port". Choose "Local Port" as the type of the port.
5. In the box "Enter a port name", type the address as the following format.
\\Network address of the host computer\[The Share Name of the printer
Then click Next.
6. Choose the correct driver in the driver list. If no available driver, click the button Windows Update, wait for the process finishes and then look for the driver again.
7. Finish the installation.
Thanks! Your suggection got me to an error I could identify. And a solution. I hope others find this helpful.

I can't find a driver for HP Officejet Pro L7580.

Updated my system to Windows 7 after years of using Vista. Now I can't use my HP Officejet Pro L7580 because it can't find a driver to install. Every tab says that the device is working perfectly. I have removed all HP software...turned it off everything...rebooted...reloaded and still the message says that driver is missing and can't find it on the HP website. It also said that it doesn't have permission to update drivers. When checking that area....thats' wrong. Updates are always automatic without permission per that tab you open to change settings. I can't see the problem/solution anymore...can anyone else?
This question was solved.

I have a new mac powerbook pro OS X 10.8.1 and cannot connect to my canon 6000B printer - the printer appears in the printer list but will not install and I can't find a driver on the net - does anyone know what the solution is?

Thanks for getting back. I need help here
1 What do you mean by System Information? Is that System Preferences?
System Information is located in Applications > Utilities. It shows lots of information about your Mac, including information about the printer queues.
dino1335 wrote:
2 When I go to System Preferences and click on the printer LBP6000/LBP6018 there is no information in that window about the URI if I click Open Print Queue there is no information other than the ID of the printer
In previous versions of OS X you did see this information via the Options & Supplies pane for the selected printer in Print & Scan. But with 10.8 this information was removed so know you need to use System Information > Printers to see information about an installed printer.
dino1335 wrote:
3 If I print a document it just goes to print (it goes through the printer but no information is printed on the paper) there is no print cue so I don't know where to find the information on the URI or what I am supposed to copy
I believe that the document does not print because the print queue has not been created correctly. The CAPT driver requires a specific queue name and if the queue name is wrong then you will not be able to print.
dino1335 wrote:
FYI I also have a MacBook Pro (old) with Leopard which I also print to the same printer on and there isn't a problem with that just with this new MacPro which has Lion installed
Not surprised to read that. Mtn Lion has caused some issues for owners of CAPT printers, especially if they upgraded to 10.8 from 10.7 or 10.6.
Since you mention the ability to print on 10.5, I just want to check that you are physically moving the USB cable connected to the LBP from the 10.5 Mac to the 10.8 Mac, rather than sharing the printer from one Mac to the other. Because if you are sharing the printer from the 10.5 to the 10.8 Mac then this can be a cause of your current issue. The CAPT driver does not work when it is being shared to other Mac's.

Can't find home drive after reinstallation of O.S.X

Dear friends,
I have one ibook G4 and a Macbook Pro. Two days ago, the ibook G4 failed to start up, I tried in safe mode then pass through. Then I run Onyx-automation followed by restart, after that neither my desktop nor the sidebar of the finder window show the home drive icons,( I partitioned the internal hard disk into two drives). But when I run Disk utility and found both are there correctly, including the files and capacity, usage etc. it tested both drives "appears OK". Yesterday, I tried to reinstall O.S.X Tiger 10.4 without removing previous system via a firewire to my Macbook Pro which installed with Leopard( the disc drive of my ibookG4 corrupted last year).
finally, the hard drives are still invisible, I did tick the display options for hard disks from the preference panel of Finder. To the worse, the same problem happened to my Macbook Pro after I restarted it.
It seems a simply software issue, physically the hard disks are ok through the disk verify and permission verify.
Headache! Please advise ASAP.
thank you,
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.5.4)

what happens when you enter commandshiftc in finder? that should show all the drives. if it doesn't, maybe the drive has acquired the hidden flag. run the following command in terminal
sudo chflags 0 /
you'll have to enter your admin password which you won't see as you type it. that's normal. see if the drive shows up.

hi, V.K.
after running the two commands, suddenly, The Macintosh HD icon showed up at both desktop and sidebar in finder, but the other drive (I partition into two parts) still not showing. Then I open Onyx and tick the "unhidden those hidden files", I found that drive. So I conclude it was hidden by sth. But I don't know how to unhidden it, the icon always in grey.
Can you please instruct again.
thank you.

aha, so it was a hidden flag after all. then run
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
you may need to restart after that to make the second drive show up.

I don't have a source attribute for this (maybe I wrote it myself!):
There are visibility toggling instructions at [this web site|http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html] using Terminal or Applescript.
If you don't like Applescript or Terminal there is an application called [JuhOS X|http://www.saunalahti.fi/~juhruo/juhosx> that lets you toggle visibility on individual items. It does not have the most intuitive interface but your drive should appear on the first page. Check it really is invisible, then click on the drive and toggle visibility. Effects will not take place until you restart your finder, so the easiest thing to do then will be to restart your computer.

Windows 7 can´t find the driver for HP Officejet 5510. (Windows Update is set to automatic.)

Hello everyone, I just installed Windows 7 - 64 bit. Supposedly the driver for the HP Officejet 5510 will install automatically in Windows 7 when connected via a USB, which is not happening.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01796879&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=311...
I am getting the message that Windows 7 can't find the driver. I don´t understand why?
My Windows Update is set to automatic.
I see the device under printers. But when I click on it it says driver missing.
Is there any solution? Possibility to get the driver some other way? Unfortunately HP doesn't provide a download on their website.
Can anyone help me, pleease?
Honza

I have the same problem. I spent all this money to get more features, not less so Windows 7 should run all of my XP stuff. Now I see that my HP Officejet 5510 all-in-one won't scan and I can't save in pdf format. C'mon HP....give us a driver! If I wind up having to buy another printer, I swear it won't be an HP if I get abandoned on this one. And I'll also switch vendors for all of the printers I'm responsible for replacing at work too.

Have you gane to the Windows Update website to see if there was a Synaptics Touch Pad Driver made available by Microsoft? Although I did my 8.1 upgrade a while back, I seem to recall such a update was available.
Otherwise if my memory is in error, you can always go right to the Synaptic website and download and install their latest driver. Here is the link.......

Can't find Epson driver for my Maverick 10.9????

My printer Epson Stylus NX515
Up to now I still can't install the proper driver.
My Maverick 10.9 will show a new printer name "EPSON854B41" which I'm not able to find any clue from Google.
Epson says the correct driver will be downloaded from Apple when I install it.
When I install the printer, my OS tells me that it can't find any driver automatically.
Suggestion?

I've done this a million times. On Epson's site, there is no any driver I can download. They just want me to use Apple Preference to add printer, then let MacBook to download the driver automatically.
However, MacBook just can't find the printer driver automatically. Besides, the printer name dislayed on the pop up box is "EPSON854B41", not the "Epson Stylus NX515". I don't know why?
Actually I called Epson when I got my new Maverick about the printer driver. They said it's the Apple's problem. Apple Inc just can't post their driver into Apple's system in time. Then I complained to Apple, they simply said that's the Epson's problem.
End up it's my problem, a stupid guy to use those two systems in the mean time, and nobody wants to solve the problem for the end user like me.

I can't find the driver for my intergrated camera for X201

My intergrated camera spoilt previously and I received help from a lenovo technician months ago. He helped me to change it into a new integrated camera. But the problem is, the device has got no device drivers(software) in it. Therefore, right now it still can't work. I tried searching for the drivers on the lenovo site but it isn't helping at all. Because the new integrated camera that I got is of a different model known as 5U875 and I can't find the driver to install in it. Please help me. Thanks

Can't find recent driver for graphic card (display) cyberaladdin trident

I can't find recent driver for graphic card (display) cyberaladdin trident.
The game play with game Warcraft III.
I downloaded directX 9
I managed to install the game but I can't play it.
My display card is Trident Cyberaladdin-T. The game producer told me it is compatible. I tried to find drivers but I haven't find anything efficient. On toshiba site there a driver but quite old (previous to the date I bought the computer...)
I don(t knox what to do and my son is very disappointed because he can't play with this new game.
Thanks for your quick answer.

Hi,
At first it would be interesting to know for which Operating System your need this driver ? ;)
Well this Chipset Trident CyberALADDiN-T ( called Napa2T ) was build in three Notebook Types of Toshiba.
The Satellite 6000, TE2000 and the Satellite 6050. ( Driverversion all with Version 5.01.2527.0128 )
Normally the drivers you find on the manufacturer Pages are not the actual drivers. They only update the drivers if there are known problems.
So the only chance for you is to look threw the internet and look if someone else has used this graphic chip,and delivers are newer driver than Toshiba.
Sorry for the answer, but I had same problem with my Machine, but found a newer driver revision on another manufacturer page.
bye

I have a compaq 6200 pro i can not find the driver for SM bus controller.

I down graded the 6200 pro with the i3 chip to winXP and now I can not find the driver for the SM bus controller does this system have a sm bus controller?

Hi: Please click on the device in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see. Those will identify the type and model of the missing device and I can send you the link to the drivers. It is either your AMT driver, TPM driver or IMEI driver. In the meantime, install the chipset driver and reboot if you have not done so already. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=5037900&prodNameId=5037902&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-88640-1 Paul
