Bonjour Printer not showing up

I replaced today my old airport basestation with the new "n" basestation.
Now the USB printer attached to it is not showing up (showed up on the old basestation).
What do I have to do?

HP LaserJet 1020
I have powered down and up several times. Also unplugged and plugged back in. Also updated the firmware to the newest one.

Bonjour printer not showing up in Printer List

I am having trouble adding a bonjour printer (HP PSC 1610). The printer is not showing up in the list of printers under System Preferences > Print & Fax. I was able to add the printer by clicking on the "+" sign. It found the bonjour printer and I clicked "Add." Everything seemed fine, but the printer is not showing up in the list of available printers.
When I'm in Printer Setup Utility, the Printer shows up when I click View > Show Printer List. I just can't select it when I'm in an application and trying to print.
I can print to the printer from my G5 which still has OS 10.3.9.
MacBook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I think the reason you haven't got responses is that no one has experience with that. Here are some generic troubleshooting steps to try, one at a time:
Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.

Bonjour printer not showing up after update

I have a Canon MX860 printer that - until this morning - was hooked up to my Mac via an Airport Express and Bonjour.
Yesterday I used Software Update to apply a Canon printer driver update. Since then, I have not been able to use my MX860.
I tried deleting the printer and adding it back, but it does not appear in the "Default" pane of the Print & Fax preferences "Add printer" dialog box. In fact, no printers appear there at all.
The Airport network the printer is on is working fine.
Any ideas?

Could this have anything to do with my problem? I have no printers in the list either and I'm unable to add them:

Bonjour does not show printer available for installation

I can print via Airport-Express when I'm using an HP Desk Jet 948c. If I connect the HP Office Jet G95 (purchased 2001) to the Airport-Express Bonjour does not show the printer as available for installation, but I can print with printer connected to the USB port of the notebook.

These may help.

Adding shared printers? Network printer not showing up in list

I have a network printer not showing up in the Bonjour Printer Wizard. There is not a place to add a printer to this list. Does my network printer need to be installed under the Windows side as well, or can I share it using Bonjour? I'm confused as to how the shared printer program works. Also, my Adobe "print to pdf" option shows up as a printer, but how do I change the file destination location? It doesn't give me an option to change the "saved to" location. I am using these printers through Parallels in AutoCad, and that should be the only reason I will need to share printers. But I am in AutoCad a good deal of time, so I need to know how to quickly print my drawings.

You don't say if you installed after downloading the Printer you deleted, but I suspect it's one not showing, and that you need to reinstall.

Printer Not Showing Up In Add List again.

I made a mistake and accidently deleted my printer from the Printer List (I was removing other printers). It doesn't show up when I try to add it again.
Here is what I have done:
1) Removed the com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist and com.apple.print.PrintCenter.plist
2) Downloaded the latest drives from the HP site (It's an HP Officejet Pro K550)
3) Logged out/Restarted (several times)
A funny thing has also occurred.
The drop down that usually holds the printers that can be added has looks like this:
AppleTalk
Bluetooth
Windows Printing
HP IP Printing
The blanks above are present. There are 3 blanks above the HP IP Printing and one blank below.
The blanks can be selected but not added (I thought it might have been a naming conflict and the printer was just not listing).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Adobe PDF Printer not showing -- no fix found yet

The Adobe PDF printer is no longer showing on a system in the office. It's running Windows 7 Professional x64. The Adobe Acrobat version is Pro X.
I have tried litereally everything I could find here in the forums and elsewhere, including uninstall, clean-up (using the Adobe tool), reinstall, maually printer install attempts (failed), manual removal of all printer ports relating to Adobe PDF documents etc. Nothing worked.
Adobe Acrobat itself is working perfectly fine, but the PDF printer is not showing anywhere, or working. I had to install an alternative for now (PDF Creator), but obviously that's not an acceptable solution. The issue started, I believe, after some tax software package was installed that had its own PDF printer. The software has since been removed, and all troubleshooting has taken place after.
System restore is also no option, since it doesn't go as far back.
If anyone has any further suggestions, it would be very much appreciated. I am an IT professional, I'm comfortable with registry rediting or similar if that is what it takes, I'd just like to find a fix, and so far I've exhausted everything I could find (including Experts Exchange).

Try this process. If you get any errors then screenshot them and post them back to the forum.
Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7.
If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
- from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
- go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
- go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
delete the PDF port monitor if present
3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
again delete and pdf printer subkey
If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
Once all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
Copy and paste the following commands in order
1: net stop spooler
2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
3: net start spooler
4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
That should set back the pdf printer.

Printer not showing up in "shared folder"

Hello everyone:
Have B&W G3 when using under 10.2.8 printer( HP 4m) attached thru combo of ethernet/appletalk using asante bridge the printer shows up under "shared printer" and can be accessed thru my wireless network. When I upgraded to 10.3.9 the HP 4m printer does not show up in the "shared printer" folder but shows up only in B&W G3 printer folder and can only be used printer from B&W G3. To gain network access to the HP 4m I have to reboot my B&W G3 back into 10.2.8. ? Any solutions. Thanx
Margie

That's great that everything is working for you, and I do appreciate your following this thread and your help. I too work in a print design environment with 5 G5's and 1 20" iMac all running 10.4.6. Like your office, everything works well. These machines have been on the bleeding edge of both Adobe and Apples' updates, and rarely have problems... Unfortunately, this is not the case for my powerbook, which is why I continue to post this question. My very un-scientific theory is that all of the machines that can print were setup while they were running earlier versions of tiger or panther, however, my PB was not. coincidence?
Anyway, since this is clearly an issue with Tiger and/or it's installation, is my next step an archive and install? How about the work around with deleting the printing preferences, etc. and re-installing from the dvd? Any potential ill effects from going these routes?
Do you, or anyone else following along, know if this is something Apple will address in 10.5? No disrespect intended, but take a look around this printing forum... it seems that most of these problems are similar in nature involving windows printing. just my 2 cents.

[SOLVED] Printer not showing up in print options but working (CUPS)

I am using Lexmark X1270 and have got it working via CUPS web interface (printed test page and all), but even after restarting CUPS daemon and rebooting, it does not show up in File > Print in any apps like Firefox, Openoffice, etc. All I see in the print is "Print to file," no printer shows up.

Shared printer not showing in list

My husband and I both have mac g4's, connected over usb network. We both recently updated to 10.48. The printer is connected to usb hub on with his printer. Everything was fine til we updated operating systems. Now the printer stopped showing in my printer listing. It prints when connected directly to either computer. Did everything manual and books said about printer sharing. Both downloaded latest drivers. It's an HP Photosmart 3200.
Thanks!

Hi Kathy,
Generally the updates affect the permissions on files, so that is why the Repair Disk Permissions can resolve printing problems.
Given that you are using TCP/IP to connect to each other, then you would be using the same protocol to view and connect to the shared printer. What you can do next is open the CUPS printer page of your computer to see if the shared printer is visible. Do the following;
1. Open your Internet browser, such as Safari.
2. For the address, type
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
and hit Enter.
This should show the printers installed on your computer and the printers shared on his Mac (Tamo). If it doesn't show his shared printer, type the following;
http://ipaddress:631/printers/sharename
Note that you need to replace ip_address with the IP address of your husbands Mac (Tamo) and 'shared_printer' with the shared name of the printer. So the address should look something like this;
http://192.168.44.47:631/printers/HP3200
If you are not sure of the shared name you can check this by clicking on Network Preferences > Print & Fax > Sharing.
Doing the above in the browser should make the CUPS page for the shared HP appear. If it does then we are a step closer in working this out.
Let me know how you go...
Regards,
Paul

Printer not showing up on add printer

We have a network of both PCs and Macs and a central Sharp Copier. We have the latest driver for Yosemite but the copier is not showing up in the add printer list. When we try setting the Macs up through the IP menu it says unable to verify printer, etc.
The printer sets up fine on the PCs.
The printer IP shows up on an IP scanner but not on our Motorolla Router/Modem from our ISP (Broighthouse).
The Sharp guys have been out here and have determined the issue is not on the printer side and suggested contacting Apple.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Ok...so I have solved my problem. The new router was blocking port 631. I forward this port to the desktop ip address and all is well in windows printing land.

Local printer not showing up in RDP session

Is the user RDP using the RDP shortcut saved or creates a new connection everytime? if using the save connection, have you tried deleting it and re-creating it and checking the local resources option again. It should show up a redirected printer in RDP session.

Hi Spicepros,
Situation: I've got a Windows 7 machine using RDP (let's call it Local) connected to a remote Windows 7 machine (Remote) which is hosted on an iMac in Boot Camp. It is a VPN connection. The printer, attached directly to the Local system is an HP LaserJet 400 M401 PCL6 connected via "USB001 Virtual Port". But this printer does not show up on the remote Windows 7 machine.
The RDP connection has Local Resources turned on.
My colleague was able to print to her local printer until she replaced her printer. Now we can't make it work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Warm regards,
Dave

Printer not showing up in Printing Pane

I'm trying to print to a printer on the network. I've set the printer up in the Printer Setup Utility. I can see the printer in the utility. When I go in to any program and print, it doesn't show up in the drop down box in the printing window.
I've done everything that Apple suggests to do on their printer troubleshoot page. I've ran a disk permissions check.
Is there anything I can do besides reinstalling the OS again?

Welcome to the forums!

Why does my printer not show up?

Hi all,
I have two printers, an HP deskjet 3500 j610 and an HP officejet 6500 E709.
When I open my preferences and try to set up the printers, the officejet 6500 is not showing up on the network. The 3500 is set up and working completely fine, however the 6500 is not even showing up when you click the + button from the print and scan settings from the system preferences.
I tried to connect using the IP address, however it says it cannot connect to the network because of an error. I have a linksys router, which is working correctly to my knowledge.
If I bring up HP utility, it shows up there and will print the confg. page and show the supply status but still will not show up when I try to add it to my Mac.
So basically, the printer does not even exist according to my Macbook, but then shows up under the HP app. This started about 2 weeks ago, before that, both printers worked fine. I updated all the software to check that, still no solution.
Any solutions?
Thanks!!

Which os is installed on your computer?
This started about 2 weeks ago, before that, both printers worked fine.
Have you done anything differently in those 2 weeks? Have you tried repairing permissions and restarting your computer? Have you checked HP site to see if you needed to update its drivers? I know you indicated that you updated your "software" however, you did not indicated what "software" you updated.
Have you contacted HP tech support?
