Epson 4880 Error:-9672

I have downloaded the latest and greatest print driver from epson and get the error "An Error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-9672
I added the printer using default if found the driver and I clicked Add.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had been receiving a similar error on a client's Mac Pro running 10.5.2. Rather than using the latest driver, I tried the beta Leopard drivers. It works just fine. This is a Stylus Pro 4880. Connecting using Bonjour to a Mac Pro running 10.5.2.
The beta drivers are here:

Error -9672 when adding an Epson 4800 via Airport Express & Bonjour

I cannot add my Epson 4800 via Printer Setup Utility connected via USB through an Airport Extreme. Windows PC's via Bonjour have no problem but my Mac is just not connecting. It correctly sees it via the add printer dialog and even recognizes it as a 4800 but when I go to add it I get the Error -9672.
Any ideas?

What is the printer make & model that you are connecting to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
You may want to double-check this iFelix site to see if it's compatible with the AEBSn.

Error:-9672. Epson R800 connected to AirPort Extreme.

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I can't add my Epson R800 as a printer when it is connected to my AirPort Extreme. I can by USB. When I attempt to add it I get an Error:-9672 prompt. I have searched for a remedy and reason but cannot find anything that solves the problem.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

Hopefully a photo print test using my X-rite ColorMunki profiles produces the amazing results I got with Leopard.
May I ask how went your attempt to print a photo using a custom profile? My R800 has performed perfectly when tasked with normal paper printing; but abysmally when charged with printing photo files ex-CS4 & Lightroom (far too dark & over-saturated). In fact this occurs with anything using the custom profiles which worked so well under Leopard. As a pro temp, I have resorted to the 'let printer manage' option, which whilst not so accurate, can be made reasonable with a +5 brightness, and -10 magenta correction in the colour control.
Clearly I would like to revert to programme managed printing as soon as possible. Hence my question.

Can't Define Epson R2400 Printer, Error -9672

I had happily been using my Epson Stylus Photo R2400 (firewire connection) on my G4 PowerBook ever since we purchased it four or five months ago. Then, suddenly, it stopped printing. Eventually, I deleted the printer definition and found that I could not redefine it in Printer Setup Utility. Here is what happens:
1) I go into printer setup utility and see the "E" printer connected.
2) I click on "More Printers" and choose "Epson Firewire" from the drop down. Stylus Photo 2400 (FW) appears.
3) I select the printer and then click on the Add button.
4) A dialog box appears with a generic error message and Error -9672
5) Console tells me:
Error -9672, badly formatted ticket XML - Bad XMLStart:

Feb 5 16:30:06 Gary-Bebermans-Computer crashdump[244]: PrintJobMgr crashed
Feb 5 16:30:07 Gary-Bebermans-Computer crashdump[244]: crash report written to: /Users/garyb/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/PrintJobMgr.crash.log
6) The crash log is, to me, indecipherable.
Here is what I have done to fix it:
1) Downloaded the latest Epson installer (G4 version). Used it to uninstall the 2400 drivers and then reinstall them.
2) Repair permissions (both before and after the reinstall).
3) Run just about every option in the Printer Repair Utility (a shareware utility I found mentioned in another thread).
4) Define the printer using a USB connection (both from the Printer List menu and from More Printers/Epson USB).
Nothing seems to change. The only thing I haven't done is reset my printing system, which I am afraid to do since I worry I could be left with no working printers.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

No go.
I downloaded the combo updater, ran it, restarted, and then tried to define the printer.
Same experience.
BTW, I tried to define it to another computer (again, a G4 PowerBook, but this one was running 10.4.7). It worked fine.
Thanks much for the suggestion.

Error -9672: can't add a printer

Every time I try to add this Canon Image Prograf iPF700, I get the message Error-9672.
In the Console it says:

I have a number of macs I'm administrating, and some are 10.4.9, some are 10.4.8 - some of them can print using an older driver, but when I take the printer off the list and try to re-add it, I get this error. It doesn't seem to matter which operating system I'm using (8 or 9.) The firmware has been updated on the printer. I have tried using an updated driver. Nothing seems to work. I'm afraid to take the printer off the few macs that can still print to it. I've tried everything!
Does ANYONE know/ think they know whether this is a Printer Setup Utility problem, or a Canon driver/ firmware issue? It's very hard to find anything anywhere about this particular error number.
Please help.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'm having the same problem with my Epson R380. I'm running OS 10.4.9 and I've tried both directly connecting to my PowerBook G4 through usb as well as my airport extreme and get that annoying (error: -9672). The printer shows up in the list but clicking add brings up that error. I've used the driver from the CD that came with the printer as well as downloading the driver from the website with the same results. I've also tried the Printer Repair Service thing from fixitmac.com and had no luck. Has anyone ever actually fixed this error? I've been searching the internet like crazy to try and find a fix, but there doesn't seem to be one.
I've also email epson about it and hopefully they will have an answer, but who knows how long that will take.
Any other solution ideas to try??

Dreaded error -9672

have set up home network using Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) with eMac and MacBook (Intel), both running OSX 10.4.11 and 2 printers: HP Laserjet 1022 and Canon Pixma iP4500, both connected via the USB slot on the AE. Able to print from both printers via MacBook, and Airport Utility shows both printers are connected via AEBS. Problem printing from eMac: although both printers are found in the Printer List (when using Printer Browser) whenever try to add them get the dreaded -9672 error. What needs to be done to resolve this? (am aware there is a long-standing problem resulting in these -9672 errors)

See the following for possible solution:
HP DeskJet: 5150, 5650, 5850 -- Driver not installed or Error -9672 in Mac OS 10.3 when trying to add the printer under USB to the Printer Setup Utility.
Macintosh OS 10.3 was shipped with the DeskJet v2.3.1 driver. The installation CD's for the 5000 series DeskJet printers listed above unfortunately have an older driver release then the one HP has worked with Apple to include in OS 10.3.
These steps will delete the necessary files to be able to install the 2.3.1 or greater software package to you operating system.
Resolution:
Deleting the Current driver (drivers) and preferences:
1. Save all work and close all applications.
• Open the Macintosh Hard Drive.
• Open the Library folder on the Macintosh Hard Drive
• Open the Printers folder in the Library folder

2. Close all windows that are open at this time and reopen the Macintosh Hard Drive.
• Open the Users folder on the Macintosh Hard Drive.
• Open your user file in the Users folder. The one with the little house beside it.
• In the Little House there should be another Library folder. Open this folder.
• Open the Preferences folder that is located in this Library folder.
• In the Preferences folder locate all the files that start with com.apple.print. and drag them into the trash.
WARNING: This will delete all your printing preferences for all printers.
3. Close down all the windows that you have open.
Download the current driver:
4. Connect to the internet and go to www.hp.com.
• Click on the Support and Drivers link in the bottom right corner of the page.
• Click the Download drivers and software button and enter in your product. Ex DeskJet 5150. Then hit return on the keyboard
• For the DeskJet 5100 and 5600 series you will need to select your product from the next page.
• Select the Mac OS X option on the next page
• Then you will need to select the driver under software. Select the version 2.3.1 or greater driver from below the software menu.
• Click the Download now button at the bottom of the page.
Install the downloaded Driver.
5. Once the driver is completely downloaded to your computer, double click on the file.
• It will mount the disk image and open a window with the installer in it. Double click on the installer in the new window
• Enter an Administrator name and password for the installer and click continue.
• Click continue on the opening page for the HP Inkjet Installer
• Read the license agreement and click Accept to continue.
• Click Continue to the Read Me file.
• Select Easy Install from the drop down menu in the top left corner and click the install button.
• When the installer is finished click Quit.
Adding the Printer to the Printer Setup Utility
6. Open the Printer Setup Utility if it was not automatically opened by the Inkjet installer
• Open the Macintosh Hard Drive. Open the Applications Folder. Open the Utilities folder. Double click on the Printer Setup Utility
• Delete any existing 5000 series DeskJet printers that may have been added automatically by the Operating System. Click on the name of the printer and click the Delete button in between the Add button and the Utility button at the top of the current window.
• Add the printer to the Printer Setup Utility by clicking the Add button at the top of the current window.
• Select USB from the drop down box at the top of window. NOTE: For the 5850 you will want to select rendezvous or hp IP printing if it is connected through one of it's network connections.
• Wait until the system prompts you to reload the browser, due to knew printer drivers being detected. Click OK to reload the browser.
• Click the 5000 Series DeskJet from the box below. Then click the Add button at the bottom of the page.

Getting an Error:-9672 when trying to add printer through airport express

Hi everyone, I have a canon colour laser printer (LBP5000) works fine when I pop the usb straight in to the mac, but when I try setting it up by plugging the usb into my airport express I get an Error:-9672 this happens when setting up the printer in print & fax system prefs.
I have another printer set up on a different airport express, which works fine.... could this be a problem?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Lee

Hello Lee,
When you select the LBP5000 in the Printer Borwser > Default Browser view, the Print Using menu should automatically set. If it isn't, and you are having to manually set the printer, then that will be a likely cause for the error (which usually occurs when the wrong driver is selected).
Try turning off the Airport Express and the printer. After a few seconds turn the printer on first and after it finishes making it's warm up sounds, turn on the Express. Now try to add the printer via the Default Browser view.
If that doesn't help, check your Airport Express firmware version. Some previous postees have found that their problems are resolved by updating their firmware on their Airport Extreme/Express.
Regards,
Paul

Hp3420 + AirPort Bonjour = Error -9672, (on 10.4.8)

Hi all.
I have a hp deskjet 3420 printer connected to AirPort Express,
which was working fine on my G4 Mac mini a few month ago
(I think it had OSX 10.4.5 around that time)
I bought a new intel iMac expecting it to work just like it did, but for some reason it now gives "Error: -9672" when I click "Add" button from printer utility.
The printer itself is detected fine in the broweser, and
driver is automatically detected as "HP inkjet 3.3."
Annoyingly the same now happens on G4 mini too!
I haven't used the printer in a while but it has to do with something in the OSX update?
The printer still works from my wife's iBook G4 (10.4.6) and Windows XP, on real PC and on Parallels Virtual PC on my intel iMac! so I know it's not a hardware issue.
Does anybody have similar experiences?
It works fine if plugged to the iMac directly on USB,
as it should since it's supported by Tiger out of the box

thanks!
PMG5Quad, Intel iMac CoreDuo 20", G4 Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Do you have any software that might be causing this?
I just realised that I have Adobe Creative Suite2 with the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on both machines (iMac & Mac mini G4), but not on my wife's iBook (the one that's still working fine).
My friend's new MacBook also failed last night. Not sure what software was installed on it.
Why isn't Apple making list of error codes available?
That "-9672" must mean something for troubleshooting, yet only info I could find was this article which is hardly helpful.

Error -9672 - HP PHotosmart 7150

About 2 weeks ago, I reinstalled Tiger on my iMac (to get the X11 subsystem for Inkscape). After that, I can no longer print to my HP Photosmart 7150 printer. I reinstalled Tiger from the system disks, and then applied the Combo update to get me back to 10.4.11.
When I try to add the printer, it defaults to HP Inkjet 3.3 for the driver. If I try and select the driver (which I have installed from HP's web site, twice and from the Tiger system disks), it doesn't show up in the HP list (just network printers do). The HP printer utility can "see" the printer, but Tiger can't?
No matter what I do to add it, I get Error -9672.
Did X11 break printing? Or am I missing something in the reinstall process?

Might try an earlier fix, amended to your printer though... seems hp has had this -9672 error plenty of times, generally an updated driver fixes it... if all the old parts get removed...

"Error:-9672" Printer Setup Utility

Trying to install a Canon Pixma iP6000D via wireless network - getting error message "Error:-9672" -says printer setup utility is not responding/working. Successful installed an HP (direct connection, though).
Confusing to me, since this printer (the Canon) was connected to the wireless network before. Had problems getting it to print, so I deleted the printer and can't re-install it.
Any help or leads are appreciate

I was having the same problem with my HP 3180, MacBook and APE. I googled the error and found this link to some helpful advice that instructs you to uninstall the printer software and select a different built in print driver. It worked for me and took just minutes! hope this helps you too...

Getting Error -9672 when trying to add printer wirelessly

Hi,
I seem to be getting an error -9672 when trying to add my HP PSC 1410 wirelessly to my airport network. I've tried on my intel iMac and my mac book but I'm getting the same error. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
ANY help is much appreciated.
Matt.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. A quick look at the iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility List doesn't show this particular model. This doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

Error -9672 when trying to connect Officejet 5510v USB printer

I have an HP Officejet 5510v printer connected to my airport extreme. My G4 Mini can connect and print fine. I have an Intel Powerbook that can see the printer listed as available under Bonjour, but I get a "Error -9672" problem connecting to selected printer message. It's using the HP version 3.3 all in one printer driver.

Forgot to mention this important difference between the working G4 Mini and the non-working Intel PB - The Mini is directly connected to the Airport by ethernet cable while the PB is wireless.
