Driver for an HP printer said to be missing

The laptop is a Dell Inspiron, Windows 7, 64 bit. The HP printer attached is an all-in-one 4500G510n-z. The printer has been connected, first by a USB cable to set it up, and then wirelessly. Diagnostics done on the printer indicates it is correctly connected. In control panel, devices and printers, the icon for the computer shows a yellow triangle indicating a problem. When I run troublshooting to determine the problem, it finally states that there is no driver installed for the printer.
I downloaded the latest update for the solution center for HP printers, and after running through the program and trying to download a driver for the printer, it finally stated that the latest driver was already installed.
So HP says the driver is installed, and the computer troubleshooter says it is not. I am at a loss about what to do.
Further, when I connect the printer using a USB cable and try the network diagnostics and ask it to print the results, paper goes through the printer and comes out completely blank.
I would really appreciate any help in solving this problem or problems.

Need a 32-bit windows home server driver for a cp2025 printer

I have a Windows Home Server 2011, and multiple Windows XP workstations. I need an XP driver for a CP2025DN printer that I can load onto the WHS 2011, as I want to configure the WHS as a Print Server. The WHS does not recognize (like) the HP Universal drivers, and I do not want to use the Express install download packages. All I need is a driver, like we used to be able to download.
Anyone have any suggestions/hints?

HOW DO I GET A DRIVER FOR MY KODAK PRINTER ESP 3.2 FOR IMAC

I AM SETING UP MY NEW IMAC, HOW DO I GET A DRIVER FOR MY KODAK PRINTER ESP 3.2

Kodak has posted an unsupported hack that has been reported to enable printing to a Kodak printer not supported in OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite").
I have not tested the hack myself. As far as I know it will not break the compatibility of printing software that is already compatible with Yosemite. It may degrade the security of the printing system. It's up to you to decide whether that risk is worth taking.

How can I download a driver for a Brother printer DCP-J411ODW for Mac OSX 10.9.1?

How can I download a driver for a Brother printer DCP-J411ODW for Mac OSX 10.9.1? I go to the right place on the Brother website and instead of downloading a driver it says there is a problem. Also something I did download and stuff on the CD provided with the printer is for a PC not a MAc. Help please.

Win 8.1 driver for my MX870 printer

Just got a new Dell with Windows 8.1. When I plugged in my MX870, Windows installed a driver. The driver for printing seems similar to the Canon original driver I got 2-3 years ago and installed on my old Dell running Vista.
But, I don't see a Canon driver for scanning with the MX870. I do see the lame Windows Fax and Scanner applet, but that really is lame.
I see that the Canon web page has a Windows 8 driver for the printer. So, always cautious about installing anything- I presume I should uninstall the driver that Windows 8.1 installed, then install the driver on the Canon web site?
If so, should I install the driver with the printer NOT connected to the computer?
thanks,
Joe

Go to Solution.

Hi JoeZ,
You don't have to uninstall the drivers that were already installed by Windows; you can just download and install the latest drivers for the printer from the Canon USA website. Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX870. Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the MP drivers file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded the MP drivers file, please follow the steps above to also download the rest of the software for the printer, except in Step 2 you will want to click on the red arrow next to the word SOFTWARE to display and download the software.
Hope this helps!

How to install Windows 7 64 bit driver for Canon i9100 Printer?

When I try to install my Canon i9100 printer on my HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Windows cannot locate a driver. Visiting the Canon website, I find an update module for the Windows driver. Canon says the printer MUST be installed using Windows Updater before their driver update can be installed. I have tried everything, but I cannot get Windows to find a driver. Windows Updater says that my computer is Up To Date.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
David

Hi Honeycutt,
The Windows 7 driver for your i9100 is only available from Microsoft through Windows Update. Please try Microsoft's web page for assistance with troubleshooting this:

Windows 7 driver for 3500 color printer

I need a windows 7 driver for my 3500 color laserjet printer. Windows XP is the latest driver listed on the website.

The latest Vista drivers for this printer on THIS page shows one of the enhancements as supporting Windows 7. So it should install fine. Do notice that this is the v.13 software.
EDIT: Just downloaded the version 13 software, and tried installing it. It seemed to go through fine, though I don't have the printer physically here. Check the screenshot.

Has anyone found the correct driver for Canon MF4018 printer?

I have tried installing all of the available drivers including MF4010 which other users have reported works- I keep getting Error-50 and cannot print anything. If anyone has used any driver for this printer that is compatible with my macbook pro - that could help me out a lot.

Since it's a 10.8 issue, why not place a new post in the 10.8 usage forum?

I believe it would be better if you contact the printer manufacturer for help. They have the technical information.

Wondering when HP will have a driver for System 10.5 so I can upgradef rom 10.3.9?

Not to be a wise guy but I don't see a Laserjet P1015. There is a Laserjet 1015. Is this your printer?

If it is then contact Apple and see if this printer is included in the July 15th HP Printer Update here:

Install printer driver for a shared printer MP520

Hi,
I need to install the Canon MP520 (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=116&mo delid=15483) printer to my MBP. The printer is connected to another a mac running OSX and is shared. I installed the OSX driver provided on the Canon page and I can see the shared printer in the network printers but when I am asked to choose the driver I can't see the correct model listed.
On the other hand, if I simply connect the same printer via USB, to my MBP it is recognized directly.
When I'm asked to provide the driver while adding the printer via the network, there is also the option to browse to the driver location. So my question is, where are the can I find the right driver on the OS ?
Thanks in advance ,
Tex

Reading your first post it sounds like the method you used to connect to the shared printer may have been incorrect.
When a Mac is sharing a printer, to add this printer on another Mac, you select the Default browser view. You should see the printer name followed by Shared in this view. When you select it, there should be no requirement to browse for a printer model. The queue should just be created with minimal driver options.
If you want to have all the features of the MP520 available to your Mac, then you need to install the same driver on your Mac as what is being used by the Mac sharing the printer. Check this carefully as Canon offers two drivers for Mac OS X and you can also use the free Gutenprint driver set for the MP520. If you open System Preferences > Print & Fax on the sharing Mac, select the printer in the list and look at the Kind section of the right hand pane, the driver version will be displayed. With a bit of luck the driver that was used to install on this Mac might still be available so that you can install it on your Mac.
Note also that you don't have to add the printer queue to your Mac to print to a shared Mac printer. From the majority of applications, when you select to print, you should find a Shared Printer option in the print dialog > Printer menu. This can be beneficial if you don't have a requirement to add this printer to your list, such as when you are visiting someone with Mac's. This doesn't sound like your situation but wanted to make you and others you read this aware of this fact.

Printer driver for Dell Photo Printer 954

I am about to give my Macbok Pro to a person with a Dell Photo Printer 954. I have been trying to find a driver for the printer to install on the laptop but it appears that Dell doesn't make drivers for Macs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the Printer and laptop to work together?
Thanks.

Not surprisingly, Dell doesn't provide an OS X driver for it. Assuming since you've asked it doesn't work, so you may need another printer. I've used Canon printers for years, and my curret MP560 AIO works nicely via wireless connection.
