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 Epson printer

I'm using an Epson Aculaser 1900 which worked fine until upgrading to Leopard (clean install on a new harddrive). It's connected via Airport Extreme and is assigned a static IP address. I've tried the drivers installed by Leopard which didn't work at all and now the drivers from the Epson site. Now, when trying to add the printer in the system preferences it shows up where it should (Others -> Epson TCP/IP), but when I click 'add' nothing happens, the printer just doesn't appear in the Printing & Faxing.
Funny thing is that it's working fine from may father's MacBook Pro with Leopard, we sg´hare the printer.
Does anyone have an idea regarding this?
Best regards
Ilona

Problem solved, I've tried the drivers from Epson Hongkong, they work:

According to the CUPS error.log the problem had to do something with the PPD which wasn't properly recognizd.

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 R2400 printer

I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.1 on a 24-inch, Early 2009 iMac.
I have a USB-connected Epson R2400 printer. I was having trouble in Photoshop where I couldn't get the printer settings dialog to appear. I figured maybe the drivers needed to be re-installed after upgrading to Mountain Lion, so I deleted the printer in the System Preferences.
Then I went to Epson's website to download the driver package and found that they no longer had it for Mountain Lion -- it says only available from Apple from inside OS X.
Then I went to the System Preferences Print & Scan applet and tried to add the printer. I select the R2400 from the list and it helpfully says "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer."
When I do so, after a few minutes of it saying "Setting up 'EPSON Stylus Photo R2400...'" and "Finding software..." I get this error:
"Can't install the software for the EPSON Stylus Photo R2400 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
When I look at what processes are running during the "Finding software..." phase I see PrintUITool running and it seems to fork getPPDVersion several times. After about the third time getPPDVersion runs I get the 'not currently available' error.
In an attempt to manually force the install, I deleted the /Library/Printers/EPSON directory and manually downloaded the Epson Printer Drivers v2.11 dmg from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 and re-ran that installer. The end result was the EPSON directory reappeared and yet, when I try to then add the printer again, I get exactly the same error as before.
Any suggestions on how I can add my printer?
Thank you,
--Jim Dempsey--

OK, I hadn't tried rebooting after re-installing the Epson Printer Driver package. I rebooted and then I was able to add the printer.
I don't like rebooting because I typically have dozens of active windows open and many network resources mounted and since the installer didn't tell me that I had to reboot, I didn't.
Still, it seems like that did the trick.

Can't add Epson xp-200 series printer to Macbook Air

Hi all,
hoping someone can help me with this before I throw either the macbook or the printer out the window in frustration!
I recently purchased a new Epson XP-200 series printer and try as I might I cannot get it to connect to my Macbook Air either via wi-fi or USB. I have used both the CD that came with the printer and downloaded the software online. Currently when I have the USB connected the computer recognises that the printer is there but when I try to add the printer it attempts to update the software, then tells me that it cannot as the software is not currently available on the server. I cannot get past this step as the computer won't let me add the printer without updating the software and Apple then tells me it doesn't have the software available despite their website telling me it is and also despite me downloading it from the web.
Can someone please help me get past this issue!
The reason that I bought a new printer was that my previous HP WIFI printer one day just stopped working, or should i say disconnected form the computer and i couldn't reconnect it, I assumed it was the printer, but given that I can still copy on it I'm now thinking it was a computer issue, or one of the OS upgrades to be more precise that caused the issue!

In what context do you see "the software upgrade"?
Is it trying to update firmware on your Epson printer?
Is it trying to update some software on your Mac? That would be highly unlikely since the download link I sent you has the latest software.
To update firmware on your Epson, get the Epson iPrint app for your iPad from the iOS App Store. (By the way, does your iPad connect to the Epson using AIrPrint? Assuming it does ...)
Run Epson iPrint. Click the printer. Then click "Advanced Settings". Then do a firmware update from there.

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.

Leopard 10.5.2 can't find Epson Stylus C86 printer driver

I installed Leopard and now when I try to print the dialogue says no printer selected.
When I go to Print/Fax preferences and select Epson Stylus C86, which is on the list,
the working wheel appears and it says searching for new drivers .
But it keeps searching and never stops. I can't print anything.

Thank you for your help. I discovered the answer in Print & Fax preferences by choosing "Default 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.
Anita

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 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?

I can't add my Epson to the printer queue

I have a Epson WF 2540 printer. It has been printing wirelessly perfectly fine for the past 2 months. Tried to print today, and I keep receiving a message saying the printer is not connected. I have re-set the wi-fi on the printer, re-installed new drivers from Epson website, however now my mac is not seeing the printer in the system preferences at all. It will not let me add or select my printer. What can I do?

Is your printer connecting to your wifi ?
You may have your SSID in router settings not showing ,whilst you are trying to connect.

Additional Information
Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB. For more details, see this article.
