Cannot add HP USB printer to 1 user on my computer

I hooked up via USB an HP Photosmart C4480 to my iMac, which has a non-admin account (my daily account) and an admin account. The C4480 worked, but my non-admin account has lost touch w/it after I added a new ink cartridge this weekend. This is what happens:
No apps in the non-admin account see the printer -- not Word, TextEdit, Safari, Mail. When I open Print & Fax in System Preferences, it shows no printer (while the admin account sees the printer and has it set as default). When I click the plus sign, the computer shows the "Photosmart C4400 series" as a USB printer in a new dialog box. I select that description, a box drops down telling me it is seeing whether it is configurable, and then after a few moments it disappears leaving the System Pref pane empty w/out explanation. My non-admin user account's Library folder has a printer queue named "HP Photosmart C4400 series" but when clicked it starts to open, then closes w/out doing anything. In my admin account, I can open this queue app and see that the printer is ready.
When I could not get the non-admin account to work, I opened the admin account and used the HP uninstaller to remove C4400 software that came w/the printer on a CD. I then attached the printer and my iMac, running Snow Leopard, downloaded the HP drivers from Apple automatically -- all while signed in to the admin account. The admin account continues to function just fine and is even sharing the printer over WiFi w/my wife's Macbook.
This has happened before w/this printer, and I reset the printing system. I figure I should reset again, but wanted to know whether I can do something to prevent my non-admin account from getting amnesia the next time.

Try repairing permissions and then restart your computer.

  • Cannot see the USB printer attached to my TC (Mac Air, Maverick, Air - TC via ethernet)

    I cannot see the USB printer I attached to my Time Capsule's USB port.  I am using a Mac Air, with Maverick OS, and connecting between my Mac and the TC via an ethernet link.  Suggestions?

    Not sure what you mean by "see" the USB printer.
    If you simply plugged the printer in to the Time Capsule, it will not be "seen" by anything.
    You won't "see" the printer until you use System Preferences > Print & Scan on both of your Macs to "Add" the printer. Did you do this for both Macs?

    Hi American,
    I checked you account and I found that you just have 1 seat in your Creative Cloud account. You need to add a license from the top right corner on your Team admin page.
    You can follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | Manage your Creative Cloud for teams membership which will help you to add a license in your Team account.
    Let us know if you face any troubles while doing that.

  • Printer communication error and cannot add a new printer

    I was happily using my Epson Artisan 810 printer this morning, connected wirelessly to my iMac.  All of a sudden I cannot print, get "Communication Error".  Checked Epson's website, no luck there.  Re-checked my wireless settings on the printer itself and re-confirmed them, it will print test pages from the printer, but still not communicating with the iMac.  I thought that removing the printer and then adding it back in might help, but now I cannot add any printer at all.
    I resorted to my MacBook Pro, and now have the same problem with this as well.
    Any ideas please?  What else can I check.  My internet and so on are fine.  The printer itself shows the wireless icon and says the reception is excellent on the printout it produced.
    Thanks so much!

    It would be unusual for only Bonjour to stop working in the printer. The more likely is that the printer is set to a different network subnet to that for your Mac or, as you mentioned, something like a firewall is blocking it.
    The IP addressing is the most common cause. If there is a process to view or print the network settings for the Epson, then this will show what IP address range it has, which should be the same as your Mac. With the IP address, there will be four sets of numbers. For a typical home network, the first three sets are known as the IP subnet, while the last set is the network address. For example, a device with an IP address of 10.0.1.5, has an IP subnet of 10.0.1 and a network address of 5. For your Mac to 'see' the printer, both devices would need the same IP subnet, while having a different network address. So if you can check what IP address the Epson has, you may find it is using a different IP subnet to your Mac.

  • How to add generic USB printer

    Hi-we have an old Samsung ML 6060 laser printer that we have had networked via ethernet to 2 macs and a PC. Has always worked fine. Now we have added a new HP photo printer to our system and have it hooked up via the ethernet. Since we don't have enough spaces on our router for both printers, we want to use a USB connection for the old Samsung. We have it connected directly to our intel iMAc and want to use print sharing to our Macbook Pro. Problem is getting the USB connection up and printing. System profiler sees the printer. The driver is old and probably not very functional on the new system although it worked fine with the ethernet connection. Samsung no longer issues new mac drivers for this printer. Printer set-up utility has a hard time finding the printer when we delete and try to re-add it. We have managed to get a test to print once only. Otherwise, the dialog box says it is printing but the data light on the printer does not flash as normal and nothing is printed and everything hangs this way. So we thought we could try adding it under the generic USB printer description but not sure how to fill in the "Device URI" window USB://_________. Can anyone help with this or do we have to go out and get a new laser printer ( my husband prefers it to the ink-jet for printing music scores ) Thanks for any help!

    Never mind, I figured it out. Thanks anyway!

  • HT1800 why does macbook pro cannot add lexmark x4875 printer?

    Hello! I have been having problems trying to connect my Lexmark x4875 to my macbook pro. Everytime I tried to add the printer, it kept giving me a message saying that it cannot find the software, so I went to the lexmark website and download the driver. Am I supposed to download something else aside from the printer driver? I'll appreciate any help.

    Try to download the Lexmark driver update v2.9 from Apple: http://bit.ly/NBHon4
    If it doesn't work, reset the printing system: http://bit.ly/TeaJzV
    Then manually add a print queue: http://bit.ly/U9QKrA

  • Cannot add or extend containers without affecting users

    DB2 V8.2.2 on AIX 5.3 on Regatta/Shark.
    When adding or extending containers the db server is not responding and SAP system freezes.
    During adding or extending the disks are 100% utilized and the CPUs are in wait (for I/O) state.
    As a result I only add og extend containers in the night
    Anyone got the same experience?
    How did you solve it?
    Regards, John.

    I suppose the rebalancer kicks in on your system. You can check that by retrieving a tablespace snapshot.
    Rebalancing takes place for example if you add containers to an existing stripe set. You can avoid that if you add containers to a new stripe set or by just extending the container of the last stripe set.
    The performance of extending tablespaces can be improved by using the fast container allocation. To use this you need to update your AIX system with all recommended patches from and than turning on DB2_USE_FAST_PREALLOCATION by issuing 
    db2set DB2_USE_FAST_PREALLOCATION=ON

  • Cannot add USB printer in Printer Setup Utility

    I have an Olympus P400 photo printer that I previously was able to hook up directly as USB printer to my PB G4. Upgraded to OS 10.4.10 and now no longer have an option for adding a USB printer. This is a problem since I no longer see my P400 printer and I wanted to reinstall it. How do I add a USB printer if there are no options other than Default and IP Printer to choose from.

    Elliott,
    Click to add a printer, and then in the Printer Browser, click on the More Printers button at the bottom. Do you see any references to your printer in this list? If you do, that printer should allow the discovery of the driver.

  • After Installing Lion, Ical does not work.  I cannot print, I cannot add an event, etc.  How do I reinstall?

    Since installing Lion OS, iCal does not work.  I cannot add an event, print calendar, etc.  How do i reinstall?

    You can use Lion Recovery
    Before you do that, go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.iCal.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    See if you can print or add an event now.

  • [SOLVED] cups 1.6 does not find usb printer

    Hello,
    Since I have upgraded to cups 1.6 I can't add a usb printer. Whenever I click on "Find new printer" in the administration web interface, no printer is found.
    Printer is a Samsung ML 1640 which worked flawlessly with versions before 1.6.
    I am using the default config file, no changes except LogLevel debug.  Also tried reinstalling whole cups and splix, no success.
    error.log shows following output:

    Any advice how to get printing working again?

    I stepped back to the last version and nothing worked. Whats wrong?!?
    Hooked the printer up at another machine and it worked out of the box after installing cups.
    Tailed messages.log when attaching the usb cable and found differences.
    Running udevd --debug showed, that the culprit was:
    aur/android-udev
    Removed that package and everything works.
    Well...  except: now every 5 seconds i have following output in messages.log:
    Aug 19 15:25:35 spt08 kernel: [355081.778863] usblp1: removed
    Aug 19 15:25:35 spt08 kernel: [355081.789091] usblp1: USB Bidirectional printer dev 7 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04E8 pid 0x3292
    But that problem has to wait 

  • Cannot add networked Brother MFC-7820N after upgrading to Leopard

    Hi,
    I did a clean install of Leopard on a new drive I installed on my Macbook. Then I migrated my account from an old drive which was running the latest version of Tiger.
    Leopard is running fine, except that I cannot add my networked printer (Brother MFC-7820N). According to Brother, the printer drivers come with the Leopard CD. In the /Library/Printers/Brother directory there sub-directories for Brother LUT, Filter, Icons, Profiles, Utilities. So I think the drivers are present.
    In the Print & Fax system preference, I click to add a printer and nothing shows up under "Default". According to Brother's instructions, the printer should show up. Is the MFC-7820N Bonjour capable?
    Is there something else I need to do? I am not running control center like I did under Tiger.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Network is a wireless network with the printer attached to a netgear wireless router.

    Okay, I found the answer to the problem. It is a Brother configuration, not a Leopard one. Needed to setup Bonjour on the printer by configuring the mDNS properly.
    From a browser, go to your printer using the ip address. Click on Network configuration link. Default user/password is: admin/access. Find the "mDNS" link, click on it. Then configure with a name such as BrotherMFC and select enable. Once this is setup, then clicking on "+" in the print and fax system preference works.

  • Cannot add apps to iTunes Wish List for my ipod

    When using iTunes on my Macbook, I cannot add apps (for ipod, ipad, etc. NOT for computer) to my Wish List.  When I try, a pop up error alert box says that "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed., to try again later."  The odd thing is that I can add music albums to my Wish List.  I am not trying to add previously bought apps, but new ones that I find that I might want later.  I used to be able to do this, but not as of recently.  I even updated my Itunes to see if that would help.  No effect.  Is it my wifi network,?  Any ideas of how to remedy this?

    thanks.  I opened iTunes this morning and miraculously my wish list seems to be working.   i see one app i had added to be downloaded.  I am able to remove songs from wish list and add songs and preview all.
    last i heard from the customer service person was that they referred the issue to a senior level support person.  this after i sent them several screen shots of my wish list and the error about unable to add to existing wish list because ittem was already there.
    I have not heard from them that my issue is resolved.  I will give them a day or so to get back to me to confirm they fixed the problelm.
    very strange.  at least they acknowledged the problem did indeed exist as they referred me to the online user forum for possible solutions.  I indicated the problem persisted as early as June 2010 and as late as Jan 2012. and I had upgraded to ver 10.5.3 as well as remove and re-install even AFTER they kept telling me they removed my wishlist.

  • PDF printing: user A clicks "print" and it prints to user B's computer!

    I had a user call me up very distressed b/c she had tried to print a database report (using PDF to file, the only printer we have allowed) and turned out that it printed on another user's local computer instead of hers! Confidential information was shared unwillingly and she was very upset.
    I looked further and it looks like in a shared account (multiple users logged into Win2003 w/ same username and password) when a user goes to print she can see a printer for each active session. We have "make pdf to file printer default in win2000/20003" checked.
    What is going on? When a user goes to print from an application on our win2003 application server, she should only see ONE printer, not a printer for every active session. This seems like a horrible breach of security, trust, etc.
    Hope I'm doing something wrong here.
    We cannot create a new windows profile for each new user so we need to get this working in an environment where most of our accounts are shared.
    Thank you

    OK, have done some testing and speaking w/ Microsoft people. If I understand correctly, here is what's happening:
    When user A logs in, SGD autocreates a PDF printer for her with title "...session 1" and modifies the registry HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVerion\Windows\Device to make this newly created printer as the default printer.
    If she prints, it goes to her local computer.
    Then when user B logs in SGD does the same thing - it autocreates a printer and modifies the registry to set the default printer. Only now the default printer is "...session 2. Since SGD modifies the same registry key, user A's default printer is now "...session 2" as well so if user A prints to the default printer, the job will end up on user B's local computer because user B's session is session 2.
    Sun - since SGD handles session management, can't it tell which RDP session a print job is coming from and direct it to the correct client?
