Brother network printer with mountain Lion

Since the recent software update my Brothe laser HL-2170W printer isn't being recognised by print setup. I have tried restart, resetting print centre, downloading new software from both Apple and Brother, but nothing works. Can anyone help?

Hi,
Indeed the HP Deskjet 5150 not officially compatible with Mountain Lion, you may try the 3rd party HPIJS drivers which list your printer as supported and compatible with Mountain Lion, it shoud provide you better quality than any generic driver..
Be sure to install any of the 3 required downloads, then follow the Set Up instructoins on the same page.
Best of luck,
Shlomi

Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

John -
My "Use" menu only contains Apple print drivers. And Canon drivers, from the location I set this machine up. None for my home use....which is a Xerox machine.
Not being on the menu, I don't know how to acquire this generic driver.
Any further helpful hints?
I appreciate your thoughts and help.

Illustrator CS4 crashes when I attempt to print with Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Illustrator CS4 crashes when I attempt to print with Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
Two questions:
1. Does any one else have this problem?
2. My version of Illustrator is 14.0.0. Is there a later version?

2. My version of Illustrator is 14.0.0. Is there a later version?

Need help installing Canon network printer on Mountain Lion

I am trying to install a Canon MF4270 network printer with my Macbook Air running Mountain Lion.
I added the printer using its IP, and selected the MF4200 driver from the list that came installed with the OS. The printer worked, but it would not allow me to print double-sided (the option was greyed out). Some research showed that other people with similar problems simply updated the printer driver.
I checked the driver version and it said 2.0. I went to the Canon website and downloaded the newest version of the driver, which said 2.43.
I re-added the printer with the new driver. Same problem.
So I deleted the driver and the list of associated files, given to me by Canon tech support (I verified then that the MF4200 driver was no longer on the list), then installed the new driver (restarting my computer at every step). I re-added the printer.
Now, it doesn't work at all. When I try to print, I get the following message: "Canon UFR II Printer Driver / Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information."
I tried adding the printer using the Generic PostScript Printer driver, and when I print, it says that it is printing and I get no errors, but nothing prints.
Now, I can't print at all, and no one at Canon or Apple has been able to solve the problem.
Please help.

First, delete the print queue in the Print & Scan preference pane, if you haven't already done so.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Caches/Canon/CUPSCAPT/CCPD/ccpd.conf
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your login password.
Recreate the print queue.

Problems printing with Mountain Lion and Epson WorkForce 645.

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion I've been having problems printing on my Epson WorkForce 645. My initial problems started while trying to print from Google Chrome. The printer would always jam once I tried to print from the browser. I would have to open another browser (like Safari) and print from there. After driver updates from Apple, my printing problems got worse. I'm now not able to print from Microsoft Excel or QuickBooks anymore.

I have an HP Photosmart Premium C410. It worked great with Mountain Lion, but it doesn't with Mavericks. Can't install any printing s/w even though it's on the network. Anyone know why????

So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst.

Why does my iMac with Mountain Lion fail to print.

My iMac with Mountain Lion fails to find my 2 networked printers on 50% of the occasions I try to print. Even though I have earlier switched the iMac on, the only way I can get the iMac to see the printers is to restart the iMac? After that I have no more probs. Leaving the iMac on standby overnight doesn't seem to help as the problem frequently re-occurs the next day
The Brother Laserjet printer and iMac are cabled to my router, while the HP Photoprint uses wi-fi connection. There is a PC/Windows 7 also on the network which shares the printers.
I seem to get no help from the Printer utilities in system preferences.
Any suggestions what I need to do to eliminate this apparent breakdown in communication between the printers and my iMac.

Hello Mike17swr,
Thanks for the post. I'm not sure which model of Photosmart printer that you have connected, but I have included a link below with some great t-shooting steps to help identify the issue. Good Luck!

Running Mavericks, when I try to print on my HP LaserJet 1320tn I get the message "Printing - The printer is in use." and nothing happens. Worked fine with Mountain Lion.

I'm running Mavericks and when I try to print on my networked HP LaserJet 1320tn I get the message "Printing - The printer is in use." and nothing happens. The same set up works fine's with Mountain Lion. I am uptodate. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks, but these suggestions aren't helping.
I have
1. tried to print form a different add
2. deleted and reinstaled the printer
3. deleted and reinstall the printer drivers
4. reset the printing system
there's no problem with the printer or the wireless as (1) i can print using my partner's mac with mountian lion and (2) I can see the printer on my own mac (mavericks)
Any more suggestions?
Thanks

Primera LX 400 Label Printer No Longer Working with Mountain Lion

Hi-
I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and most everything works OK except my Primera LX400 label printer. The error message I get when trying to install the driver is "Software for this printer isn't available from Apple. Contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software."
I contacted Primera but I haven't received an answer yet. Anyone else solve this problem with Mountain Lion and Primera Printers?
For those that depend on the Primera printers, you might want to wait before upgrading.

For those with the same problem, Primera says they will have new drivers up 7/31/12:

I decided to check a day early (7/30/12) and the driver for my LX400 is up and I was able to install and use it successfully.

How do I get my HP M1217nfw LaserJet printer to work with Mountain Lion

I have an HP LaserJet M1217nfw printer and a new Mac Mini with Mountain Lion. I need to print wirelessly. I updated the printer's firmware, but still get an error message saying "You need to install software to use this printer.To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer." There is no software update available from Apple. HP says they do not have a driver for Mountain Lion. Help!

The printer already shows up in my printers when I go to preferences. In the link you gave me,
Under Nearby Printers , click the name of your printer.NOTA:Make sure that the printer kind is Bonjour or Bonjour Multifunction .
Click the Use box, and then select AirPrint from the pop-up menu if it is not selected already.figura 1: Selecting an AirPrint printer in the Add window
I do not have the option of "Nearby Printers, and do not have the screen shown in the screen shot where I can click "use" and select "AirPrint".

HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion. I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion. I added a new printer from the System Preferences. The printer will print sometimes. Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print. I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity. That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything. I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me here?

Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out
