DOWNLOADED DRIVE BUT CANNOT FIND IT

I am trying to install a Canon Pixma MP130 printer. I went on the Canon website and downloaded the OS X driver.pkg file. I double clicked on that file and everything seemingly installed correctly but when I try to add the printer, the driver is not there. Am I doing something wrong? If I collect on automatically find the driver it selects the Generic Post Script driver which doesn't work.
Thank you in advance....

The Canon inkjet drivers cannot be manually selected from the Print Using menu. They have been designed to automatically add when the selected model in the Add printer window is selected. So your inability to select the model is not an indication of a faulty driver installation.
Also, while the link to the Gutenprint drivers would be an option in most cases, the MP130 is not listed as a supported model with the latest v5.2.3 release so you would have to select another model that will work - and this can be a tiresome task.
So what you need to resolve is the sharing issue between both Mac's. If the printer is showing in the Add printer window as 'Bonjour Shared', but selecting it fails to find the locally installed driver, then either something is blocking the communication to the client software to determine the machine as an MP130 or something is amiss with the locally installed driver. Given that you can add the printer when it is connected directly via USB, the locally installed driver would appear to be okay. So I would check firewall settings on both Mac's first and temporarily disable if they are enabled. I would also ensure they are both set to 10.5.7, as an earlier version of 10.5.x connecting to the latest could be a possible cause.

  • I blew my motherboard on an old computer and hooked my old hard drive to the new computer and want to transfer my bookmarks to the new drive but cannot find where they are located on the old drive--any help?

    My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I purchased a new computer and hooked my old hard drive to it through a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my bookmarks from the old hard drive to my new one, but I cannot find where they are. I was unable to determine this from searching articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing but a storage place for files at this point. My old operating system was windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.

  • I have been using Internet Explorer and have now downloaded Firefox but cannot find my imported favourites. Where can I find them?

  • I go to Dropbox and press download I get the download icon but cannot find the picture on my iPad can anybody HELP !!!!!

    I am having trouble with downloading files from both Dropbox and iCloud to my ipad2.  I
    They appear to show as downloading but when I try to find the files there is nothing anywhere
    On Android tablets if I have downloads I can normally trace them through a download icon but with the iPad there appears to be nothing
    Am I doing something stupid. My tecky level rating is about "2".
    HELP.

    OK, but how are the pictures being sent to you?
    If you using DropBox, tap on the photo in order to open it on the right, and then tap the share icon in the upper right corner. From there you can Save the Image which will transfer it to the Photos app, or you can tap the Open In icon and select any compatible app in which to open and save the photos.
    If the photos are being emailed it is basically the same thing. Tap and hold down on it and select Quick Look to open it, tap the Share icon, etc, etc.

    I have downloaded Pushnote for Firefox but the linking star os not showing up in the browser taskbar that shows other links.

    If you just download them then they are in your download folder or where ever you specified for them to be saved to. Now you need to install them.

  • I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back-up app.

    I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back up app.
    Have used Superduper app. to back up and checked back-up occasionally to see if all files present  and appeared OK.
    I had previously started machine using original CD #1 to try and replace Eudora which was acting up. Did not knowingly touch Safari.
    Running iMAC System 10.4.11
    How can I successfully download from the Maxtor back-up?
    Ivan

    Further info.
    I checked the content of my other back-up and found the bookmark Bookmarks.plist in the library under Safari
    Dumped the existing copy in the computer and drag-dropped the back up. All bookmarks restored.
    Solved the Stickies problem by using Spotlight  to find file "stickiesdatabase" and did a drag- drop to replace file. All data restored.
    Re Ical data loss. Used Spotlight to find iCal document in  Library - Preferences where I found com.apple.iCal.plist in folder.
    Got ready to make change but did not immediately remove file. When I returned to Preferences folder to grab above document,
    the readable descriptors had been changed to code consisting of some upper case letters and/or single symbols!
    So now I cannot tell which is the symbol  iCal.plist
    Thanks for leading me so far, but how do I find that plist for my calendar?

    Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?

    If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.

    I recently downloaded 2 audiobooks on the ipad2.  I synced to the computer.  They show on the computer under books, but cannot find them on ipad..anyone know where I find them?

    If you are on iOS 5 then they should be in the Music app under the More button - if there are audiobooks on the iPad then there should be an Audiobooks option under More. If you are on iOS 4 then they should be in the iPod app.
