Can't Find printer in printer list

I'm using Adobe Reader 10.1.4 and can't get it to see the laser printer on the network.  Previous versions worked OK and Word sees it without a problem.  When I try to print a document the print screen shows firstly the default printer which is an inkjet connected via USB and when I click the drop-down all the printers are there except the laser on the network which I want to use.
The printer has been deleted and re-installed several times, is shown on the printer list in the Control panel as being “ready” and works fine with other packages such as Word.  I have also deleted and downloaded Acrobat several times restarting the PC in between but still it can’t find that particular printer.
If I take the file to another PC connected to the network it sees the prjnter and prints without a problem.
I have heard that it is a known problem and that Acrobat has a fix.  Is this right?
If not, could you suggest how it can be fixed without repeating the above which we have done many times without success.
Regards,

I just ran into this exact problem.  In my case, it isn't even a network printer - just a newly installed USB connected printer.  The old printer was uninstalled, and Reader still shows it on its list.  The new printer is installed and doesn't show up on the list.  Other utilties print to it just fine as well.  The printer just doesn't show up on Reader's printer list.  I installed Acrobat and had the same issue.
Find a solution yet?  Thanks.

    I've been using my networked Brother printers on SL since day 1, actually since before day 1. No problems with IP printing and CUPS drivers at all. I've also been able to set up the scanner function over the network very easily.
    I've set my printer to a static number, tell the printer installer to use IP printing, and type in the IP number and the Mac finds the printer and assigned the driver.
    Have you tried "Resetting" the printer system by right clicking in the printer list box?
    Yes, I did try resetting the printer system.
    Obviously something is wrong because I can't add the printer. When I hit the plus sign it is not there unless I set up a Mac to share it.

  • Remote printer is recognized but message says can't find printer?  It worked great before installing OSX Maverick

    Remote printer is recognized but message says can't find printer?  It worked great before installing OSX Maverick?

    Thank you for your response.
    Unfortunately I have already rebooted the router and that did not fix the problem. The weird thing is that the computer is connected to the network, it just won't connect to my computer. I have printed the network configuration page to confirm this, and it says the wireless signal is strong. 
    I have not changed anything at all recently in terms of routers, networks, etc. The printer stopped working completely randomly.
    Is there a part in the printer that like emits a signal which computers, phones, etc are supposed to detect? I don't know enough about the mechanics to really theorize about what is wrong, but it seems like that is the only thing that stopped working. 
    Do you have any other suggestions?

    Hello rewing45,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with installing your Canon printer on to your Windows 8 computer.  I see that the computer is an HP.  I suggest that you contact Canon for installation instructions.  They will troubleshoot the printer on the Operating system NOT on the make of the computer.
    Here is the link for Canon Support.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Where can I find the no-no list?

    As I am learning more and more about app development, it seems a lot of time can be wasted if you don't follow the rules Apple has set forth. I find post here and there about what not to do, such as using private API's, and tried searching in the Dev Center for something. As I learn I want to learn the, your app has more chance of not being rejected way, where can I find the "no-no" list Apple has?

    The obvious document would be the App Store Review Guidelines for iOS and OSX.
    iOS: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
    Mac (OSX): https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/mac/
    Note that iOS apps can only be distributed via the App Store while OSX apps can be distributed directly by the developer.
    Creating a non-App Store app in OSX has several advantages and disadvantages:
    The App Store handles a number of practical issues for you: like setting up a download page and processing payments. It also (supposedly) gives you access to a larger customer base and is the "default" location for getting apps that Apple pushes new users to. The App Store is also more convenient when re-downloading apps, safer and more convenient as users don't have to keep track of activation codes for purchased apps. 
    You don't need to sandbox your app, this is helpful for certain apps that need to access data from other apps or needed to call other apps e.g. via AppleScript.
    You can use private APIs, although this is generally not recommended as these classes are not documented and may change/disappear between OS releases. But poking around in private APIs and other internals may sometimes be the only way to access certain information or to get certain features.
    Not being a App Store app will also mean that you can't use certain APIs - I think that iCloud is one of these.

  • Can't find printer on print server

    Macbook 10.7.4
    PS121 print server from netgear
    MP500 Canon printer
    OK I can print from all my xp computers.
    I can access the print server from Safari
    I have tried to set up IP printing with the print server ip address 192.168.0.4 and it recognizes it as a valid IP address but does not seem to see the printer behind it.
    I have boot camp running and can print from the xp side of things on the macbook. So it has got to be an config problem somewhere.
    Any body have the same issue?
    Thanks
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   print server

    OK here is how I did it.
    MacBook
    Netgear Router
    Linkstation Network drive acting as print server
    Windows network
    Canon Pixma MP500 printer
    This took about three weeks to solve so I am trying to piece together the correct path you need to take.
    Make sure you have ”on” print sharing under your “system preferences”.
    Under firewall tab and the advanced tab Uncheck all “UDP,Logging and Steath.” I am going to start to turn these back on for security reasons but this is how I got it to work for me.
    First I went to Printfab.net and got the print driver for the Canon MP500. This is good for Mac OSX tiger. I installed the program. At first I was not seeing the print drivers on my system. I had to get the print drivers to install so first I had to try to set up a printer. So I "Add printer" and under the name I typed "Canon PrintFab" This showed me all the the print drivers that were installed with the printfab program. It seems that once I did that they we installed so I can view them all the time in “Printer Setup Utility”.
    You need to find out the path for you print driver. I was not able to actually see my print driver in the “finder viewer” but I could view the path to the directories on the networked drive. As I recall I had a netgear print server PS121 installed previously and I was able to see it. So to get the correct path name you are going to need under “finder” select network. You should then see you networked server name. Mine was “Mshome” because I am sharing this computer with three other windows based computers and I am hooking up to a windows started network. Under “mshome” I can see my network drive. Now you need to “mount the drive” so double click it and you we be asked to “select the SMB/CIFS shared volume you want to connect to” I selected the “shared folder” on the drive. Now it shows up as an icon on the “finders” left side. Now highlight it and “get info” from the menu bar. Under the general line I saw “server: cifs://mshome;danr@link/share. This is what it means. “mshome” is my networked name that the print server is on. “danr” is my account name on my mac. This is the name I see in finder that has all my docs and files under. “link is the name of the network drive.
    Now I went back to "add Printer" Put the protocol to "IPP" and hold down the alt key and hit the "more printers" button at the bottom. Up pulls the list and select "advanced" option. Select " Windows Printer via Samb". In the device name you will want to enter the device that the printer is called. Mine happens to be "lp" Next under “device URL” after smb:// my line looked like this smb://mshome;danr@link/lp this is the info I got previous from finder. After “mshome” there is a semi-colon no a colon. Now under “model” I selected the Printfab driver for my Canon and then hit the “add” button.
    And that was it I printed a test page under the utility program to test it.

  • Can't find printer in print browser

    Somehow my printer disappeared from the print browser. I have a ibook G4 laptop running OSX 4.11, that is connected to my desktop via a router. Last night I could not print from it (the desktop printing is working just fine). I tried the printer setup utility and no printers are listed nor are any printers found. I downloaded a print driver but can't find it when I do a search using the print browser and am not sure where to look to find it .
    I also tried to add the IP manually (am sure this wasn't the original setup) and using localhost:631 (on the desktop) > manage printers, but the device URI shows up as file://dev/null.
    My desktop is a powermac G4 running 10.5.7, the printer is an HP deskjet 5650. All worked great until last night.
    I've tried everything I can think of and would appreciate any guidance.
    Thanks,

    Hmmm, something is wrong I suspect.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • Trouble adding printer to HP ePrint Home and Biz iPhone app - can't find printer's email address

    I'm trying to connect my HP Photosmart c6380 to my iPhone. I already downloaded the app and my printer is connected to my wireless network, as is my iPhone, but I can't add my printer to the app.
    When I go to "Manage ePrinters" and try to add a printer with the + button I see 3 choices:
    Add ePrinter from list: "No ePrinters available"
    Add Manually: I can't find the printer's email address even using the instructions found at the ePrint center.
    Add from WiFi Network: My printer isn't shown in this list so it does not support auto discovery.
    So I'm guessing that if I could just find my printer's email address that would connect it to my iPhone for wireless printing, but I can't for the life of me find it. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    This question was solved.

    Hello amybett,
    I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that your printer is not Airprint/ePrint capable. However, the good news is that with the HP ePrint Home and Biz iPhone app it does not need to be Airprint/Eprint capable, as long as it is connected to the same network as your phone.
    Here are the steps you will want to take to print something:
    1. Setup the app by completing the email registration and entering the code (which I believe you have).
    2. Select the item you wish to print using the menu in the app (Photo Albums, Saved Files, Web Browser, etc.).
    3. Once you select the item you should see the item and a large "Print" button under it.
    4. If the printer you want to print to is not listed above the "Print" button, select the icon on the right (wrench/computer) and select the printer you wish to use (along with other settings). 
    5. Tap on the "Back" button in the top left corner, then tap "Done" (blue button in the top right corner), and then tap the "Print" button to print your item.
    Let me know if you are still having trouble after following the guide above.

  • 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.
