EMac on 10.4.11 not finding printer driver for HP2015, only Generic...

Hi,
I have installed this printer on our network, but the Macs are not seeing the installed options (tray 3 etc).
When I add the printer, I am unable to locate the correct driver for it and the only option that will work is the 'Generic Postcript'.
I have downloaded and installed the latest install package from HP (HP LaserJet P2015 and Color LaserJet 2605_2700), but this is not listed in the printer menu.
Any ideas please.?

Hi Mike, did you look under Other Printers, or Browse & look for HP IP Printing?

Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8. I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch. I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers. Hit the "+" button. The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it. The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success). I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn. Why is this method not working with this printer?
I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement. Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable. Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer. Successfully printed a document page. While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog. The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

I apologize for the delay in responding to you. I was on the road all day yesterday.
OK. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network. That did not work. I swapped out the cable for one that I know works. Still no change. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router. No change. I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?
After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

Windows Could not find the Driver for your Apple iPod USB Device (5G 30GB)

I have a 8GB iPod Nano. My roommate has a 30GB 5G Video. Black.
My iPod syncs flawlessly. His is not recognized by Windows or iTunes. Every time we plug in the iPod, it prompts us for the driver. I tried to install the update apple mentions through the windows process, but after going through the tedious Windows Genuine Verification process, I was told that the update didn't apply to my computer.
We use a Lenovo Thinkpad T60p, which shipped with Windows Vista Business.
We are running iTunes 7.3.1.3, and there are no windows updates available for the computer.
I have...
...reset
...reinstalled 7.3.1.3 (over and over and over)
...tried different USB ports. (Early on, we saw it once after swapping ports).
...tried turning off the ability of the computer to 'Turn this device off to save power."
I have also verified that the iPod works on my work Dell Lattitude D620 running XP, and that it's not the cord, as we've used the cord that came with my Nano as well.
So, the problem seems to be with vista, as many people seem to have had. The best thread I found that deals with this was http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=995793.
But even after having tried everything, I still have an unrecognizable iPod.
When I run iPod diagonostics, everything seems okay, except for the iPod connection, which says failed. I've had difficulty working with the iPod service under Computer/Device Manager - it doesn't ever seem to stop or start, with the iPod plugged in or not.
And interestingly enough, the FAT32 external harddrive that I use to back up my data exhibits exactly the same problem ("Windows could not find the driver for your USB Mass Storage Device). This device worked great in XP, and even odder, I have a FAT32 partition of the main HD as a swap space between my VistaOS and my Ubuntu installation.
Do I have to chalk this up to another issue with Windows Vista? What bothers me there is that you're a ping-pong between windows support and apple support - no one really owns up the problem.

Bill, I've been stuck in this loop for 3 months since buying a new laptop with Vista Basic. I've tried everything to no avail. I don't know what else to do apart from buying a cheap PC running XP. Let me know if you manage to find a solution and I'll do the same.

I have a compaq 6200 pro i can not find the driver for SM bus controller.

I down graded the 6200 pro with the i3 chip to winXP and now I can not find the driver for the SM bus controller does this system have a sm bus controller?

Hi: Please click on the device in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see. Those will identify the type and model of the missing device and I can send you the link to the drivers. It is either your AMT driver, TPM driver or IMEI driver. In the meantime, install the chipset driver and reboot if you have not done so already. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=5037900&prodNameId=5037902&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-88640-1 Paul

Need to find printer driver for OS 9.0.4 for Epson Stylus NX415

Here's my problem:
I have an old strawberry-colored original iMac, running OS 9.0.4.
I also have an Epson Stylus NX415 all-in-one printer.
But -- the iMac does not recognize the printer.
In order for this printer to connect to this Mac, I need to have a "printer driver" extension that I can install (and then restart), so that the printer appears in the "Chooser" window, so I can select it there.
I'd need either a printer driver specific to the NX415, or some kind of generic Epson printer driver compatible with this specific model.
But here's the problem: I think the NX415 was first manufactured AFTER OSX was introduced, so it could be that Epson never even bothered to make a printer driver for OS 9 for the NX415.
Help!
I've scoured the Internet and legacy sites that specialize in old OS 9 software, and also scoured Epson's site, and could not find any appropriate printer drivers in any of those places.
Any suggestions, or specific links to where I can download such a driver?
Or is it the case that this printer simply physically will NEVER work with this model of Mac, and I should just give up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
A good guess would be that you are right in that an NX415 driver for Mac OS 9 was not made because of the fact that the printer is much newer than the operating system. It is probably going to be difficult to find a Mac OS 9 driver for another model that will allow any or all parts of the all-in-one printer in question to work properly. However, if you wish to carry out experiments, the Mac OS 8/9 drivers on the Epson support page for CX3200 may be as close as you can get.
Perhaps someone else has a better idea.

Windows 7 not find IEEE1394 Driver for my MAC Mini

Hi, i try to install windows 7 ultimate on my MacMini Core 2 duo.
All ok... I use bootcamp 3.1 for install driver in windows... and all OK but.... not Controller IEEE1394
I can't find and instal driver for it...
someone have a solution?
Thanks a lot....

Hi Kristo,
"Microsoft Windows operating systems include a bus driver and various class drivers to support the IEEE1394 high performance serial bus. However, current driver support is limited to controllers and devices that are compliant to the 1394a standard.The features introduced with the 1394b standard cannot be used in Windows based applications and device drivers."
What do you need to achieve?

Windows can not find the driver for PCI-1428

Windows 2000 Find's the PC!-1428 Board, but it doesn't
find the Driver. IMAQ 2.51 it's all ready installed.

Loo. If you go into MAX and look under the software tab, does NI-IMAQ 2.51 show up? If so, make sure the Image Acquisition VIs are available in LabVIEW (or make sure the library files are available in your programming environment). If the VIs don't appear, or if the software isn't in MAX, then you probably have a dirty installation. To clean it up, make sure NI-IMAQ is totally uninstalled and that the NI-IMAQ folder is empty.
If everything appears to be normal in software, but the 1428 card still doesn't install, then the card may be bad. The best way to test this is to install the board on another computer. If it works on one computer but not the other, then it's definately a software problem.

I have an Epson R2400 and I can not find the driver for borderless printing

I have two Epson printers; I added the first, a R200 using the Printer Utility and in the add printer screen it asked me what page setup I wanted. I chose ALL and it gives me the ability to print borderless prints. I then added the R2400 using he Printer Utility but the "page setup" is grayed out and I do not have a borderless print option o this printer.
I have tried deleting the R2400 from the list of printers and adding it again without success.
I am using the drivers that came on the CD-ROM with the printer.
Has anyone had a similar experience with the R2400 borderless print issue and might anyone have an answer?
Thank you.

HT3986 Windows 7 can not find any driver for my network

I finished installing windows 7 ultimate 64 bit but when I log into windows network is not available and trying to connect ethernet cable does not work either help me please

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make the Wi-Fi and Ethernet cards work.
If you have Snow Leopard, insert the Mac OS X DVD and install the drivers. If you have Mountain Lion or Lion, you have to start into OS X (pressing X key while your computer is starting) and download the drivers on Boot Camp Assistant. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4407 (it applies to Lion and Mountain Lion)

I have Agilent 8166A(Lightwave Multichannel Sys. I did not find GPIB drive for this Equipment.I also search this driver in the web but I still did not find them. Please help me and tell me how to download those drivers

Thank you very much !!!
Michael

The Agilent 8163, 8164 and 8166 uses the same driver and they come with the mainframe. If you didn't get the driver with the mainframe, call Agilent's T&M support and ask them to email it to you.
FYI, there is a bug in the LabVIEW driver that Agilent supplied.
I hope that helps. Regards,
