Cannot install printer drivers

I have a Canon MP20 I bought from Apple a few years ago. I have recently upgraded my computer (2009 MPB) to Mountain Lion and have the printer connected to an Airport Extreme. The Print & Scan prefpane sees the printer and starts going though the motions of connecting me and installing the dirvers.
At first it tells me “The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer.” (image)
I do.
I get a progress bar telling me the computer is “Finding software…” (image)
I then get an error message telling me, “Can’t install the software for the Canon MP620 series because it is not curently available from the Software Update server.” (image)
This appears to contradict the first messsage and leaves me unable to setup the printer.

More info: I just this minute installed the latest Canon inkjet printer drivers, found here. No change.

    Cannot install these dirvers (perhaps others as well?). Respponse from ihstall procedure is that there are no updates on the site.

    Some users have found that a reset of the printing system can help with getting the drivers downloaded from Apple.

  • Cannot install printer drivers or programs

    I have to concur. This Lenovo is the 8th computer we have bought at my house and it has been the worst experience of them all. Almost everything I have tried has not worked as expected. It is the only one I have bought where the service agreement was less than one year. Currently it won't let me install printers because of a security policy (I am the administrator). Many other programs I try to install behave the same way, it asks you to confirm that you want to install it, I accept, then it does NOTHING. I bought this box because I got the impression that Lenovo was solid and dependable. I am extremely disapointed.

    Was it new when you bought it, and did you buy it directly from Lenovo or an authorized reseller?  If so, the warranty began when it was manufactured and should be reset to the sale date once it's sold.  If you have the sales receipt, call support and provide the sales receipt date to have the warranty period corrected.

    That sounds more like a Windows issue.  I'll move these messages to that board.

  • Installing printer drivers on x86 and x64 OS clients from print server

    Hi experts,
    I have a print server win 2008 r2 with some printers installed on it including x86 and x64 drivers.
    1. I wanted to install printer drivers on x86 and x64 CLIENT OS (win 7/8 ) from the print server.  
    2. This installation should in in backend(hide mode). While installing it should not pop up on user desktop for installation.
    Could any one help me with a simple script. So i can get a get a idea. 
    I was using bellow script but it displays on desktop before installation.
    $nw=New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network
    $nw.AddWindowsPrinterConnection('\\ptprint\pg1-b')

    Hi Amitkumar,
    given your scenario, this script is probably what you are looking for:
    Add-PrinterDriver
    It will add all printerdrivers from shared printerobjects from a printer server.
    Cheers,

    You will need to create separate device types for each printer family installed at your installation or if each printer family require either simplex or duplex printing.
    1. Go to ‘Spool Administration screen’ by using transaction code SPAD from the initial screen of SAP.
    2. From the SPAD screen choose menu path Utilities-->for device types --> IMPORT (or you can run RSTXSCRP program from SE38, too).
    3. In the initial screen of “SAPscript Export to Dataset/SAPscript Import from Dataset” enter the following:
    a) Check Radio button for device type.
    b) In the Object Name field enter object name of the device type file (please see the table at the end of this document for object names)
    c) MODE must be IMPORT
    In the Ctrl parameters for file operation
    d) Check radio button for "From/on frontend" ( Generally this would be the default)
    That's it. Don't enter anything else. Execute by clicking execute button or function key F8.
    4. In the “Create Object Directory Entry” window that pops up, enter your development class and press enter
    5. You will get a pop up Window “Import from a Local File”. Browse through the Window to enter the filename in your local directory and click ‘Transfer’ button.

  • X100e - cannot install bluetooth drivers

    I cannot install bluetooth drivers on my X100e laptop. When I bought the laptop I had windows xp on it and bluetooth worked fine. But when I installed windows 7 I couldn't install bluetooth. When I try to install latest Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II driver I get the message:
    "No Bluetooth device was detected. Please make sure that your Bluetooth device is pluged in properly in order to continue installation."
    please help.

    Hello,
    Try running Lenovo's ThinkVantage System Update software to install any missing ThinkPad-specific drivers and hotfixes, then repeat the Fn+F5 key combo suggestion.  Does Bluetooth now activate?

  • Is there a way to only install print drivers plus HP Solution center?

    I have a HP PSC 1510v AIO printer.  I just re-installed Windows XP Pro and would like to install the software.  However, I do not want all the other software installed, only the print drivers and the HP Solution Center.  I have downloaded the print drivers from the HP website, but cannot find only the HP SC.
    Can anybody tell me if this is possible, and if so, how do I get the HP SC software?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Still no-go.  Here is what I did:
    1- Uninstall all HP software (I only have the 1510 printer from HP)
    2- Reboot
    3- Run the 4 batch files that remove HP stuff.
    4- Reboot
    5- Run regedit and delete all known HP references.  Some I was not sure about, so I left those alone.
    6- Run CCleaner and the registry cleaner portion.
    7- Reboot
    8- Reinstall the software using the CD with the software.
    What I end up with is the printer works and Solution Center will start, but it shows "No device found".  From there, if I try to install the printer, it locks up the computer when the install software is searching for the printer.  I left this run for 60 minutes, so I am allowing enough time for it to install.  BTW, in step #8 above, the install directory shows as the directory I specified in the very first install I did, so all the uninstallling I am doing is not getting every last bit.
    I am stuck!  Any ideas?

  • Reinstalling Vista, Cannot Install Any Drivers

    I've had this computer for a couple of months at work, where 4-5 people can use/mess around with the computer. Long story short, we got a virus and I intended to reformat the computer with my recovery DVD. I noticed the two partitions, and formated them into one (reading through here, bad idea) but whatever, Windows installed just fine. I downloaded all the drivers from Lenovo in advance but I cannot install a single one of them. Apparently my computer is not strong enough to install my (intel) video card and I have no network card.
    So, what gives?

    welcome to lenovo user forums
    could you share your model number of your system/also check out if you have downloaded drivers for the exact version 
    of windows

    Hey @Polda18,
    Generally the error 'an install operation took too long to execute' is related to system files on your actual computer. There should be no reason you would need to increase the RAM on your computer. Cleaning up the registry is not a bad idea but I'm going to suggest a few more steps first under your normal User Account.
    Step 1: Install Using HP Smart Install:
    1. Press the Power button or switch to turn off the product, if it is not off already.
    2. Disconnect the USB cable from both the product and the computer, if you already connected it.
    3. Press the Power button or switch to turn on the product.
    4. Reconnect the USB cable to the product and to the computer
    The HP Smart Install program should start automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
    Should this also fail, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Disable Smart Install:
    On the front panel of your printer select the 'Setup' button (the wrench)
    Under the Setup menu right arrow over to Service Menu and select OK
    Under Service Menu right arrow to 'Smart Install' and select OK
    Under Smart Install please turn OFF this feature and select OK
    Once Smart Install is disabled, proceed to the next step.
    Step 3: Run a Selective Startup on the Computer:
    Click on your Start menu and in the 'search programs and files' box type msconfig and hit enter
    A System Configuration Utility box will now open. Under the 'general' window select 'Selective Startup' and only uncheck 'Load Startup Items'
    Click on the 'Services' tab at the top
    At the very bottom select the checkbox for 'Hide all Microsoft Services'
    Select 'Disable All' on the right
    Select Apply and then OK and restart your computer when prompted
    Step 4: Run an SFC /SCANNOW:
    This is a scan that will run on your computer. Should it identify any system corruption it will tell you. Should the scan request that you insert your Operating System disk it does indicate that you have a corruption of your actual computer and your Operating System will need to be reinstalled.
    Go to your Start menu and type CMD
    CMD will populate as an option above, right click on this and 'run as admin'
    When Command Prompt opens type sfc /scannow and hit enter
    Allow the scan to complete and take note of any errors it may fine
    Restart your computer once the scan is complete
    Step 5: Run Windows Updates:
    Please ensure that all your Windows Updates have been completed.
    Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Update.
    In the left pane, click Check for updates, and then wait while Windows looks for the latest updates for your computer.
    If any updates are found, click Install updates.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    Install Windows updates
    Once these steps are complete try to install your software and drivers again. Please let me know if these steps resolved the issue. Should you end up getting any other error messages please let me know. Good luck!

  • How to install printer drivers manually?

    When I installed Leopard, I opted not to install any printer drivers apart from the one for my own printer.
    Then my printer died and I got a new printer -- a Brother HL-4070CDW. I assumed I could download the proper driver from Brother's website. Nope! At the website it just says, "Mac OSX 10.5 contains the appropriate printer drivers for your product."
    Using Pacifist I was able to extract a folder called BrotherPrinterDrivers from the Leopard install disks. But that folder contains a bunch of files, and I have no idea where to install them on my machine.
    Any help from someone who with a good understanding of printer drivers in Leopard would be greatly appreciated.

    Gabriel,
    If you do not know where to place them using Pacifist, Follow the instructions listed in this link. Expand the Printer Drivers by clicking on the disclosure arrow, and choose the appropriate manufacturer.
    Although the document I linked describes 10.4 installations the procedure will be the same for 10.5 You will find the Optional Installs.mpkg inside the Optional Installs folder.

  • Installing Printer drivers ONLY?

    so... when i installed leopard i figgered i'd save some drive space by not installing ALL those printer drivers, just the hp's (i only ever owned hps). recently i inherited a brother hl 1440 (a monochrome laser). i went to the brother web site to find the driver, and the site says that the driver is on the leopard install disk.
    so i went into the installer, and as far as i can tell, there is NO way to just install drivers without doing a re-install of the OS. i thought you USED to be able to quit the installer and just find the package, but leopard doesn't seem to allow that anymore.
    any ideas on how to get the brother drivers off the leopard install disk??
    TIA

    Here's the driver for 10.4, which you could try to see if it works:
    http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/dlf/000000/002100/d lf002189.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=hl1440_all&type2=1&os=26&flang=4&dlid=dlf 002189
    My guess is that it should work fine, especially since it's the CUPS driver, which is an open source driver that's not platform-specific. CUPS is built into 10.4 and 10.5.
