You would only use the Windows option if the printer was being shared by a Windows computer or was enabled as an SMB printer. I believe this will not be the case for your printer.
The question I have for you is how is the printer connected to the Mac. Based on what you have written so far I am assuming that you have the printer confgured on your local network rather than having it connected to the Mac via USB cable. Because if it was connected to the Mac via USB cable then it should appear in the Default Add Printer window, unless the USB cable was faulty. So with the printer on the network then one reason why you don't see the printer in the Default Add Printer view is that it is not correctly configured for your network.
So the issue is not the printer driver but the Mac being able to see the printer, so that you can add the print queue. If you can reply with how you want to have the printer connected to your Mac then I can offer some additional help.

I cant install softwares on Lion

Hi,
I reinstalled Lion on Macbook pro a week ago. Now I cant install softwares that ask password to install on mac.
For example, 'Adobe update manager' cant update Premium Pro suite. When I click 'Update' button, it asks for password. Even after giving password, it goes back to the update window. Then I tried to install the Premium Pro from DVD. It didnt install either. The same problem happened when I was trying to install Divx.
But when I reinstall some softwares like Google music manager and paint brush, they reinstalled without any problem. These two softwares didnt ask for password.
Another thing is, I cant also unlock the system preference. It kept locked. No use afer typing password.
I repaired 'disk permission'. It didnt fix the problem.
Please suggest me some solutions to fix this problem. Otherwise I have to reinstall the Lion again.
Thanks in advance!

Greetings to all...
I am suffering similar issues. 2011MBP 13" i7.
Installed Lion from app store 5 months ago, since then I have been able to download all software updates but not install any of them. At the cleaning up stage or thereabout I get the same message "unable to install (whatever software). An unexpected error occurred" Hugely frustrating although everything works fine without the installation, apart from my printer which is eagerly awaiting the software update!
I have tried everything I can think of or find online, using a guest login, running safe mode, repairing permissions, emptying various files in prefs etc,nothing works!!! My one hope was to command r and reinstall, my problem is when I attempted this it reset my apple id and so i had to enter a new password, now the app store wont recognise the lion purchase when I try to login to id when attempting to reinstall!!!!!!!!!
Please help if possible, have been a huge mac fan for 20 years, currently have mbp, imac 21, ipad, 2x iphones and 2x ipods,
Still stressed!
Piemaster,
Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, there are several steps in where you can fix this issue. Let's try the following:
Quit the Mac App Store.
Delete Mac App Store Cache - go to ~/Library/Caches/ folder ("~" represents your home folder) and look for the "com.apple.appstore" folder. Take this folder and place it in the trash.
Delete Mac App Store Preferences - go to ~/Library/Preferences/ and look for the "com.apple.storeagent.plist." file. Take this file and place it in the trash.
Relaunch the Mac App Store.
See if that helps.
I would suggest to make a separate thread as your issue is slightly different from the OP's post. Place your thread in the Mac App Store Forum. This practice can be considered as "threadjacking" and some community members consider it unpolite.
Good Luck! If you need any further assistance just reply here with your post link so that other members of the community and I can assist you with your issue.

How to install a PostScript printer

Hi, I need to install a postcript printer but I cant find any drivers in mac os lion. Can you tell me how to do so?
Thnax a lotin advance

The Generic Postscript PPD is included with Lion. So when adding a printer you should be able to change the Print Using menu to see this Generic PS printer. Or, if you are a debian user, then you may prefer to use the CUPS web page as you would with your Linux distro.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There are several steps to try. These are not in order of preference.
1. Startup from your original disk that came with your MacBook by inserting it, then choose restart and hold the c-key until the grey screen with the Apple logo appears. Choose your language. On the next screen ther will be a menu bar at the top. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, choose your startup drive and Repair Disk. If any repairs were necessary and done rerun Repair Disk until all is clear, then restart normally. If this doesn't work:
2. Startup in safe mode by holding the shift key until the Apple logo appears. Then try the installation. If no success:
3. disconnect all peripherals - printer, external drives, etc. Restart and try again.
$. report back to this forum!

I understand that the HTML config won't open. I can help you with this.
Depending on which Mac version you are running, I will provide you with the steps to resolve this issue.
If you are using another operating system other then 10.9 or 10.8, please let me know.

Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. (sometimes the EWS won't open if it isn't set as the default)
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
Laserjet P1102w.
You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
I would reset the printer first.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page. Select Method two.
Delete the Laserjet P1102w from the Printers and Scanners window.
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer.
Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and run the Apple Updates.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it just lists the full name of the printer.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
From the Printers and Scanners window, highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
Fill out the information for your network. Make sure infrastructure is selected. Status: make sure you select Enabled.
Apply the settings.
Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet Bonjour printer. (it might take a couple of minutes to appear)

Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
Disconnect the USB cable and test the printer.
Test the printer now.

I am trying to install a new printer and I am not sure which application to use?

I am trying to install a new printer with the external CD rom drive on my MacBook Air. When I load the disc it is not allowing the program to run as it is stating that I have the wrong application to do so. How do I install things from the external CD Rom?

What model printer is it?
It is unlikely you need its installation CD-ROM at all.

I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing." I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop Elements, checked my printer settings and still I can't print a photo.

Hi ,
Please update to PSE 13.1
13.1 has solved this problem.

Installed a new printer and one line on the top is skipped

Appreciate your inputs.
We have been using the 'Check Printing report' for quite a while; We recently installed a new printer and we see that the alignment has gone wrong.
The checks are printing from one line below as it is skipping one line. Where do we adjust the setting so that the printing starts from the place where we want?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Im no expert but I doubt its a template issue more likely to be the control escape sequence on the printer diriver set up. Check your printer manual and the current set up you have.

Printer's wireless stopped working after installing a wired printer.

I recently installed a new Epson printer to my computer with a wired connection. That works fine as far as I know, but when I got home, I found that my wireless HP printer no longer worked through the wireless connection, though the wired connection worked fine. It also worked fine that morning before I installed the new printer. Is there any chance that when I installed the new Epson printer that some of the settings would have transferred over to the existing HP printer, or is it more likely something in the HP printer itself? Either way, what could it be and how would I go about fixing it?
For reference, the malfunctioning printer is an HP Officejet 7500 E910, and the newly installed printer is an Epson Artisan 730 Series.

Hi mgrimm,
I would look first at the connection to the router.
Does the Officejet 7500 still have an IP address? If you enter the IP address as the URL in a web browser, does it open the Embedded Web Server in the printer?

How to install Canon MG3170 printer to Macbook Air (mid 2012), both USB & wifi

I have been trying to install the Canon MG3170 to my Macbook Air (mid 2012 version) using OS X Version 10.8.4. I followed the paper manual that came with the box & used the CD provided. In the midst of the installation, "AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO ADD THE SELECTED PRINTER: UNABLE TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM AFTER RUNNING SOFTWARE UPDATE."
Problems:
1) Cannot connect on Network because there is no WPS button on my Airport Extreme and Airport Express.
2) Cannot print, both via USB or wifi network.
When I bought the printer, I specifically selected this because it has Airprint and wireless printing and was one of the few printers in the Apple Online store. However, I have been having a lot of issues getting the printer installed to be used on my Macbook Air.
Please help!!

Thank you John Galt!
After running SOFTWARE UPDATE, I restarted the Macbook. (DO NOT CONNECT THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK YET!)
Then I connected the Canon Printer MG3170 to my MacBook Air via the USB cable.
Next, I switched on the printer.
I am able to print and scan (via USB cable) from;
SYSTEM PREFERENCES - PRINT & SCAN - select CANON MG3100 series.
To install applications for printing & scanning, go to http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201148300.html
However, this solved part of the question above, i.e., printing via USB cable (which is not the whole purpose of using the Airprint Printer) but at least it is a start.
*NOTE: UNINSTALL any prior Canon softwares and drivers specifically installed for this printer first before attempting the steps above as it may interfere with the installation process.

Hi All,
I setup 2 Mac Minis, 'setup in a no-apple id. Now with Mini1 I installed a shared printer from Windows7 Pc it ask for credentials then I input Adminstrator account and the password ticking the remember in "keychain"
I run a test print and its seamless. I reboot the Mini1 and run test print again and its good.
Now in Mini2 I did the same installation on shared printer but it is asking for user credential again and again, there is a check mark in "remember in keychain but still gives a notice that "requires authentication" I put the admin creadentials same with Mini1 then it prints.
every time I print on Mini2 its always asking for a user & password before Printing. How can we fix it.
I tried
- lpd printing = "authentication required"
- reset printer settings ang re-install printer = "authentication required"
- replace sharename in windows7, reinstall printer in Mini2 = "authentication required"
This stuff never happened to Mini1.
