Can'd add Brother hl-2070N printer

I can't add my new Brother HL-2070N printer. It is plugged in and functional (test page prints fine when I press the button on the printer itself). I connected it to the USB port on my macbook pro with a working printer cable. I opened the printers utility, clicked "+", gave it a name, left the location unchanged (automatically selected as my local machine), selected "Brother HL-2070N series CUPS 1.1" from the "model" drop-down menu, and press "add." Then nothing. Nothing happens. I press "add" and I get no dialog box, no new printer, nothing.
I then downloaded the drivers manually from brother's website and tried it again, but still nothing. I've restarted several times, still nothing. Help!

Yes, I tried that. I believe there may be some sort of problem with the apple version of the driver for this printer. I have XP installed on my machine via bootcamp, and I am able to install drivers for and successfully print to the same printer using the same cable and same USB port in Windows. But I can't add the printer from OS X. Please help!

Can't add Canon Pixma MX310 printer with OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite

I just got a new laptop that is running OS X Yosemite. I have my Canon Pixma MX310 printer plugged in via USB but I can't add it. When I go to the Add screen in preferences, in the default window, Canon MX310 series comes up. When I select it, I have to "Choose a Driver" in order for the add button to not be greyed out. Auto select is greyed out so I can only choose Select software which doesn't have anything for Canon or Other which is to select a downloaded driver. Problem is, when I go to the Canon website to download the driver it says "There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver." Any ideas?

Can't add Epson 850 Ne printer

When I go to add the Epson 850 Ne printer (ethernet connection thru Airport Exreme) to my MacBook (Intel) it doesn't show up. I've trashed all Epson files, repaired permissions and downloaded epson10222.sea from Epson. It seems to install OK, but then I'm stuck. All works well with G4 Powerbook running 10.4.7 exept Epson Printer Utility. Any ideas?
MacBook
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If I may, and I know this doesn't answer your question, but I work for a company who specializes with printers and their cartridges... Stay away from Epson & Lexmark brand printers. They are built to fail too soon and the cartridges usually fail immediately if you ever try to have them refilled. I work for Island Ink-Jet, so I know what I am talking about. If you ever are in the market for a new printer, buy a Canon or Brother printer. They are the best printers and cartridges for your money and rarely ever fail. On top of this, the two brands build their producst to high quality standards.
Sorry this doesn't help, I just thought I would offer my opinion. Please... no hate mail, Thanks!

Can't add my cannon mp830 printer to mac os x

I tried to scan something using my canon mp830 but it wasnt working. I removed the printer thinking that would help but now, I cant even add the printer.

Okay. You said that you were not able to add the printer again so my reply was based on that comment.
So with regards to scanning, Canon is no longer providing an ICA driver for this model, which is what would make the Scan tab appear in Printers & Scanner and also let you scan using Image Capture or Preview.
So as mentioned above, you will need to download and install a scanner driver for the MP830 and the supporting scanning application called MP Navigator. These should be available from the Canon web site in your region. If you cannot locate them, then reply and I will provide links from the Canon Australia web site.

Can't add my epson rx500 printer to OS 10.4, but it prints in classic

When I added a driver for a wireless card, it told me to first reset permissions. Now OS X will not let me add my Epson rx 500 printer and I can not print from OS X. The printer does print from classic. What can I do?

It sounds like you might have installed the OS 9 driver instead of the OS X driver. What happens when OS X will not let you add the printer?

Can't add my pixmaMP490 canon printer

Hi, everybody.
I've installed OX Mavericks, and my MacBook doesn't see my pixma mp490 canon printer anymore.
I've downloaded the correct printer driver (which is set for OX Mavericks), I've installed it, ane nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks for helping.

Yep, understand. A few more questions and steps, because we really have to get the printer showing up on the USB of the computer before we even begin to worry about adding it and choosing drivers:
Are any other devices connected to USB ports on the computer? If so, disconnect them. External mice, hubs, anything
Unplug the printer USB cable and turn off the printer.
Shutdown and power off the computer.
Start the computer. Log in and open system information and select USB as you have before.
Plug the USB cable into the printer and the other end into the computer.
Turn the printer on and check for it showing in system information.
Result?

Can i add a "print" link in standard KM iViews??

Hi All,
I have done some Portal development.
I am new to KM.
I have some doubts:
1.       I want to develop custom News Component, Discussion Group & Discussions etc.. What perspective I should use? I mean, is it PDK? Or is there something else?
2.       In a standard KM iView (for ex: in a news iView), can I add a link called print (say) to print the whole content in the iView? Or should I have to make a custom development for that.
            Please tell me what I should refer to. Any classes like IRoom, IDisscussionGroup etc..????
Plz help me.
<b>Regards,
Sai Krishna.</b>

Any ideas/solutions? Please do share.

Can not add my new printer to the print and scan preferences

I have purchased a Canon Pixma MG5350 and try to connect it to my mac but with no results. I have installed all the drivers but can not add it to the print and scan preferences. I looked in Applications > Utilities > System Information > USB and it does not even show that it is connected. The printer comes without a USB so I bought a 5m USB 2.0 A to B cable and eventually something is wrong. Is the USB too long, not the right one or what is the problem?

I have already got my refund for the cable! I tried a friends cable and everything works!

Can't print to Networked Brother MFC-7420 Printer after installing 10.6

A few days ago my dad decided to finally take the plunge and let me upgrade his operating system from 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on his Imac.
Ever since then I have been unable to print to his Brother MFC-7420 printer.
The printer is connected to his Imac via USB and I connect to his printer through our Linksys Router on my laptop MacBook Pro. The downside about this setup is that his computer has to be physically on for me to be able to see and/or print to the printer.
When he was running 10.5 I was able to print to his printer with no problems but now that he is running 10.6 I can "see" the printer but when I sent a print job to it the Print Queue for the Brother on my screen says "Connecting to Printer" and never gets any further.
Printer Sharing is turned on as usual allowing "Everyone" on the network to print. I've tried removing and reinstalling the driver on my computer to no avail, I haven't tried doing the same to his computer.
A side note to make though, when my dad is running 10.5 on his machine and I try to add the Printer via my Print&Fax the system will automatically set the "Print Using" to the correct Brother MFC-7420 Cups" driver. However, if he is running 10.6 my system just comes up with the "Generic PostScript Printer".
Is there something I should do on his end or my end so that "my" computer can print again to his printer?
Any suggestions are appreciated, if any of you need more info feel free to post and I'll try to help. Thanks!

A couple of suggestions for you.
Ensure you have installed the MFC-7420 OS X 10.6 CUPS driver on both Mac's.
Open Print & Fax and select the Default view and select the shared printer. When your Print Using menu selects Generic Postscript, change this menu to 'Select printer software' and then search for the 7420 driver. According to Brother support the driver name will be listed as "MFC-7420 + CUPS".

Brother HL 2070N stopped printing

I know this is probably more about the printer than the Apple, since I doesn't work with any of my Macs, but I am hoping someone knows of perhaps a preference file or something that needs to be deleted, that the people at Brother may not know (since these discussion groups are GENIOUS and can usually come up with the answers when not third party or even Apple can't.
It had been printing just fine, using the Time Capsule. I had a light indicating the toner was low, and I bought new toner. After a while it stopped printing, and although it didn't have the solid light indicating the toner was out, I replaced it anyway. The blinking light went away, but it still won't print. The doc sends to the printer, but in the queue I get an error message pausing the printer that says Reading Error! I have deleted the printer from the utility setup, added it again, and still nothing. I tried connecting it directly to the Mac and although it found the printer in the setup, it does the same thing.
Thoughts? Please?
Thanks
Shelley

I had the same problem with my Brother HL-2070N after upgrading to a new MacBook Pro from a black MacBook. Everytime I tried to print a test page I'd get the error "opening raster file failed." I reinstalled the printer drivers from my Leopard disk and still had the same problem. I tried other Brother drivers, as suggested by other people who have had this problem, but still kept getting the same error every time I tried to print a test page.
Then I tried and experiment and tried to print from Text Edit. Now, lo and behold, I find I can print from an application, like Word, but still not print a test page!? I'm not sure what's going on, but after you've got everything installed/updated/reinitiated, try printing from, say, Text Edit, and see if it still doesn't work.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

HT1338 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 se

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.

Wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280: Deleted offline printer queue, can't add printer again

I posted about a year and a half ago about connectivity problems with our C7280 all-in-one, and PrintDoc gave me some great suggestions to get me back on line again--thanks again!
I've had problems off-and-on again, but I've been able to get back again until now, and I can't get the usual tricks to work.
Here's our set-up:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, static IP address 192.168.1.200 (confirmed via printer's display as well as the printer's web page)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
My Laptop: MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.6.8, wireless connection
Every now and then, the printer goes off-line. (Our cordless phones and our WiFi occasionally hit the same channels, and our printer hiccups seem to happen after WiFi hiccups. My theory is that a WiFi hiccup somehow screws up the print queues, possibly if it happens in the middle of a print job. Haven't been able to prove it, though.) I'm usually able to fix it by cycling power on the printer and/or resetting the print system (by right-clicking the list of printers in the Print & Fax window).
That's not working this time. I reset the print system, but when I try to add a printer, I don't see my printer in the Add Printer dialog.
I've tried various combinations of:
Cycling power on the printer (sometimes by cycling the power button off and on, sometimes by unplugging the power cord while powered on, and sometimes by unplugging the power cord while powered off)
Resetting the print system again (sometimes by itself, sometimes followed by log off/on, sometimes followed by reboot)
Powering down the Mac, then the printer, then the router, then powering them back up in reverse order.
But I still can't see my printer in the Add Printer dialog.
Somewhere along the way, I tried following the Mac OS 10.6-10.7 instructions from here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02205477&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3204785#N86...
...but Solution 1 assumes that the printer queue is still there; unfortunately, I'd already reset the print system by then.
Since I'm using OS 10.6 which already has the printer drivers built in, I'm assuming that I can't uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers as in older versions of Mac OS X. (Er, right?)
The long-term solution (if my theory is right) is to get cordless phones that don't use the WiFi frequencies :-) In the meantime, are there any tricks I'm missing?

Today I tried to "add printer" again...and lo and behold, there it was!
I wish I could tell you what fixed the problem, but I haven't got a clue.
