If you haven't done so already then I suggest you reset the printing system.
Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
Move your mouse over the Printers list
Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.
With regards to adding the printer, ensure you are selecting More Printers then Canon CAPT (USB)

HP Officejet 5610: Problem Adding Printer via USB

Hello. I am trying to print via USB on a HP Officejet 5610. My Mac has detected it via USB. I tried to add it by "Default Printer." I got the model "HP" but could not find the model "Officejet 5610" for the gimp-print. I tried a few random models to print but none of them work. Could someone help me please? I do not have the installation CD. This is not my house. The person who owns the printer is usually not home and his computer locked.
Thank you.

Disconnect the printer. Remove references to it from print and scan in system preferences. Remove the HP folder from /Library/Printers. Reconnect it. Try again. It should dowwnload drivers.

Problems printing via a Buffalo Linkstation

Hi - I'm having problems printing to the print server that comes as part of a Buffalo Linkstation. The printer in question is an Epson DX7450.
I can print successfully to the printer via USB
I can install the printer successfully as a windows server attached printer (attached to the Buffalo)
But when I print, I get the following errors. I'm assuming the driver is expecting two way comms with the printer, but the Buffalo doesn't support this. Anyone any clues?
Thanks,
Tim

Should have googled properly - see this is an issue using a usb driver for a network printer. So I'll go and get a cups driver and see what happens.

Why can't I print to wireless printers after printing via USB?

We're all wireless in my office. I can print to any number of nearby printers with no problems EXCEPT AFTER I print to my personal Epson printer via USB. I've tried turning my computer on and off, and I've also tried switching to another wireless network and switching back. I still can't print to the other wireless printers. The "Nearby Printers" list doesn't even show up in the Print menu after I use my Epson. In System Preferences, the Print & Fax menu of Hardware clearly shows my computer sees the printers on the network, but when I send a print job it says the printers are "offline". Is something affecting my drivers after printing USB? Ugh!

This is an issue for your office IT guy.

HP Photosmart B110a constantly goes offline and won't print via USB either

Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8
HP Photosmart B110
I've connected the printer to my wireless network without any issues, but when I first tried to connect my macbook pro to the printer, it would keep disappearing from the network. Once I finally managed to connect it, every time I go to print something now, it will always say it is offline. Even when I try and bypass the wireless connection and connect via USB, it will still say it is offline.
I've have tried reinstalling the printer and driver many times, and I've tried connecting 2 other macbooks via the wireless and all experience the same issue. It is starting to get incredibly frustrating having to reinstall the printer over and over again.
I would appreciate a solution that would prevent it from always going offline, even If I have to give up the wireless 'feature' and permanently print via USB. I do not have time to continuously fiddle with the settings every single time I need to print a document.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Am considering buying a Time Capsule. But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection. Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule. I assume yes...?

A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

Can't print via USB using my Officejet 4635 from iMac running 10.6.8

I bought this HP Officejet 4635 all-in-one printer yesterday and can't get it to print via USB. I have an iMac running OS 10.6.8. So far I'veI tried all the suggestions I could find on these forums (ex: downloaded the latest driver, unplug/replug the power, unplug/replug the usb, delete and "ADD PRINTER" again, etc....) The computer does recognize the printer, but shows "Unable to send print data" after I click on print. I know that the printer works fine because I was capable to email the document directly to it's personal email address. Please help!
This question was solved.

Can new iPad connect to printer via USB?

If now I have an 30 pin to USB converted can I connect my iPad with printer via USB cable, because my printer is not support wifi or Bluetooth function. If can do I need install what suitable app on my iPad to find or connect my printer?

The iPad only prints via Wi-Fi to printers that support AirPrint. Here's a website on AirPrint that includes a list of supported printers.

To to answer your original question, no you cannotrint via USB.

New Officejet Pro 6830 will not print via USB connection. It scans great to PC. It copies.

New HP Officejet Pro 6830 for user to have local USB printer/scanner at desk. User runs win 7 64 bit on a network. Raninstall through setup.exe. Followed steps, connected printer via USB when it said to and it detected it and finished install.You can use HP Scan software and it scans to the PC perfectly. It will not print from any application or even a testpage from the Printer Properties page. If you go to the maintenance application it will print status and test page. If you run HP Scan and Print doctor it does it's thing, gives all Green Check marks and lets you print a test page fine, but it stillwill not print even a test page from the printer properties page (start/Devices and Pritners/right click on Officejet Pro 6830, select Printer Properties for Officejet Pro 6830 (not the Fax 6830), and click print test page. It does not seethe printer. It is a networked PC and has network defined HP network printers as well but user wanted a printer/scanner at his desk. I actually took the unit and connected to my laptop which is same win 7 64 bit platform and it does the same thing. I disable the virus protection to do the install so that is not an issue. It clearly sees and installs the printer, andlike I said the HP Scan works fine so it is connected via the USB to the PC, but it will not print. I have tried to install from the CD, and removed device and tried to install from the new downloaded drivers as well and it just does not want to print.I have conected to different USB ports, and like I said actually tried it on a different PC and had same results. Guidance certainly would be appreciated.

Hi , I see by your post that you can scan, but are unable to print over the USB connection. I would be happy to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help. If the issue persists, reinstall the printer on the Administrator Account to see if you have the same results.Unlock Hidden Administrator Account and install the printer on this account: Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD. CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'. Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter. Next, close CMD and restart your computer. When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it. If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked.Under the Administrator account, install the printer software. Test the printer. To turn off the Admin account start back at step 1 and type in net user administrator /active:no.Please let me know the outcome. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an airport extreme?

My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme. I have a HP officejet 5610 All-in-One. I want to be able to print wirelessly using my Airport Extreme. Thank you

Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an AirPort Exreme?
Big difference.
AirPrint for one will not work via USB, so you will not be able to print from an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad using this type of connection unless you look at additional software....that may or may not allow this option.
Assuming that you get the All-in-One setup using the USB port on the AirPort.......only printing is supported.
You will not be able to use any other advanced features like maintenance, scan, copy, fax, etc when the device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort.
If you plan to use the HP for other things, I would strongly recommend that you connect it to your computer.
My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme.
This usually indicates that your printer model is not supported. Check with HP Support to see if they have any updated Macintosh drivers for the 5610 that you could download and install that might allow this.

What is the difference between connecting a printer via USB or Ethernet ?

What is the difference between connecting a printer via USB or Ethernet ?

When a Printer with an Ethernet connector is connected via Ethernet, it becomes a peer device on your Network. It is available whenever it is on for all users on your Network.
When connected via USB, it relies on your computer to "Share" it onto the local Network. It is only available when the attached computer is on. It takes resources from that computer to facilitate printing for any User.

Connecting Canon LBP9100cdn Laser printer via ethernet/wifi hub

I have connected my Canon LBP9100cdn Laser printer via ethernet through a modem hub. We can connect either through direct ethernet hard connection or wifi, on OS10.8.3. Occasionally it just stops finding the printer. Have latest CUPS driver, have reset printing system and reinstalled driver and reinstalled printer. Turned printer off and on. Sometimes it takes a few goes to get the right random sequence, but this time I just can't get it to connect. Other computers on the system, both ethernet hard wired and wifi can still connect- all on the same operating system.

When you get this lost connection, try opening Safari (or web browser of choice) and enter the IP address of the 9100 as the URL. This should connect to the internal web page of the printer. If this does connect, then see if you can resume the queue to print again. In theory, if the print queue on the Mac pauses, then the web browser test should also fail to connect to the printer.

Canon ip4000r stopped printing over usb after update to 10.5.7

hi there!
i have a canon pixma ip4000r which is connected to my macbook pro via usb.
since the update to 10.5.7 it stopped printing. printer's joblist receives a printjob, displays "printing" but nothing happens. i tried to reinstall the printer but systems preferences are running very slowly/freezing when i plugin the usb cable. when i unplug it everything runs normal.
in addition canons printer tool crashes while trying to connect to the printer.
i have some networkprinters (hp laserjet 4100n) installed as well but they are running fine.
any suggestions?
thanks,
paul

Hello Paul,
I installed the 7 update yesterday on my test Mini using the Combo installer and saw some interesting results.
First of all, any USB printer queue was removed from the Printers list. Only the Adobe PDF and network printer queues remained.
Also, a number of Canon BJPrinter files were updated and added, some of them later versions of existing files, such as the Canon IJ Printer Utility. The strange behavior here was that older versions of the same file were left in the same folder and this is what I believe could be causing you problems.
So, I would suggest you try the following.
Unplug the iP4000 USB cable
Navigate to Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter and trash the entire contents of this folder.
Navigate to Mac HD/Library/Receipts and trash any Canon IP4000 files.
Empty the Trash and restart the Mac.
Run the iP4000R v4.8.3 driver installer again. This will add the files you need for your printer back into the BJPrinter folder.
Plug the iP4000 USB back into the Mac and see if the printer automatically adds to your printer list. It can take about a minute but if it doesn't then try to add it. Don't be surprised when you do try to add it you get a message stating the printer is already installed.

Printer Frustrations - Prints via USB, not via Network

Hi all,
I read an article about how to print via SAMBA to a Windows printer - fantastic! Everything is set up correctly with one exception ... there isn't an exact match for my printer in OS X's driver selection.
So I downloaded and installed the drivers (it's a Canon CX5000) - I can print to the printer via a direct USB ... no problem.
So now I have to Printers installed, one is the SAMBA version, the other the Direct USB version.
In the Direct USB version, if I look at the Printer Setup, I see that the EXACT model number is selected in the drop down menu (albiet greyed out).
In the SAMBA version, I cannot locate this - and thus, the printer prints ... but it's all garbled. How can I find out what file the Direct USB version is using?
Thanks!

I have installed CUPS drivers, and even then, I don't find a driver the exactly matches my printer.
There is a driver on my Mac that matches my printer exactly (see my post above) ... I just don't know how to access it while using SAMBA for Windows Printers.
