Error -9672 When Printing

I am trying to add an HP PhotoSmart All-in-One C3180 printer that is connected to my Aiprort Extreme. It will show up in the Printer Set-up utility, but when I click on Add it returns an erro -9672. I can connect the printer to the USB on the MacBook and everything works just fine.
Is there a step that I am missing?

Received response from HP:
Thank you for contacting HP Total Care. I Understand you are getting an
error 9672/ We normally see this error when customer try to install this
printer on a wireless network. If this is the case, please try the
following:
(If not, please let me know how you have the printer connected to the
computer)
The C3180 is not an HP supported networkable printer. HP supports this
printer "Full Functionality" USB direct connect from the printer to the
MAC. Apple supports "Print Only" functionality from the printer to the
airport.
HP released a print only driver last week that should resolve your
issue. Uninstall the HP software currently on your computer using the hp
uninstaller (Hard Drive > Applications > Hewlitt-Packard > HP
Uninstaller), then download and install the print only drivers from
HP.com. Once the software is installed, open the Printer Setup Utility
(Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Printer Setup Utility) and add
the printer.

If that fails try the workaround below.
Possible Workaround
As a work around for the C3100/C4100 units connected via USB to an
Airport base station try the following:
1. Install the software.
2. Quit the HP Setup Assistant.
3. Open the Printer Setup Utility and select the printer.
4. Change "Print Using" to the HP/Hewlitt-Packard and select the
Photosmart 1000 (P1000) and then click Add.
This should give basic print functionality only . This workaround is
offered on a non-supported "best effort" basis so if it doesn't work
they need to connect it directly to the computer.
5. If this works, you will have print only functionality. The HP setup
assistant will launch each time you restart your computer, you can
simply quit the program, or delete the setup assistant.
To delete it Click on Hard drive > Library > Preferences >
Hewlitt-Packard Preferences > and click and drag the
"com.hp.setupassistant.plist" file to the trash. Empty the trash.
Note: If you want to scan, you will need to uninstall the software, and
reinstall it. The printer will need to be directly connected USB from
the printer to the Mac.
message with the
results.
I want to use the scanner so I guess I will connect directly to the MacBook. Thanks for your help.

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.

Error 0xd0840001 when printing

My wife has a HP Office Jet 5610 All-In-One. She's hooked up using usb to a Dell 32-bit machine running Vista Ultimate.
On a regular basis, she gets the message "Error 0xd0840001" when printing a document. Often, the majority fo the first page has already printed.
It can be from Word, Excel or Firefox. The only solution I've noticed it to run net stop spooler / net start spooler. At this point the print job restarts and prints the entire document.
I've googled and only found this issue listed on an Ubuntu forum. (There's no solution listed.) I haven't upgraded her from Windows to Linux yet, so I don't see that as the issue.
Ideas?
This question was solved.

I fixed this by upgrading from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 9.1.
Works fine now.

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

Error 9672 when trying to add a printer via ae?

I have tried to add my HP Photosmart C4100 All-in-one to my "bonjour" network to use it with airport express, but I keep on getting a 9672 error and the printer is not added.
I was wonder if anyone could guide me through the process of setting this up.
Thank you!

Use the process outlined here:
HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing
http://tech.ifelix.net/1300.html
Using the Gimp-Print drivers for the HP PhotoSmart P1000 printer.
The supplied HP C4100 drivers will not work when the printer is connected to an Airport base station.

Error -9672 when trying to add HP F380 as bonjour printer

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but it appears the HP F380 is not compatible with the newest Airport Extreme (with all the updates). After connecting it to the Airport the Printer Setup Utility can see the printer as a bonjour printer (good) but when I go to add it as a printer it fails with a -9672 error (bad). In the console the following error message is logged.
Error -9672, badly formatted ticket XML - Bad XMLStart:
Bad XMLEnd
HP says 'their printers may work, but the configuration is unsupported'. So I'm posting here in the hopes Apple will try and work around the issue in an Airport update.

I too had the same problem with my HP F380 Printer. There is a way to get it to print over AE, but it will no scan. Here are the steps, hope it helps.
1. Install Footmatic-Rip-3.34.2.15.ppc.dmg, espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg, hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg (all found at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs)
4. Go to Add printer.
5. Under "Print Using:" Select HP, then select HP DeskJet F300 Footmatic/hpijs (recommended).
6. Click Add
That's it.
Be sure to install the .dmg(s) in the order listed above, no big deal but hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg won't install without the other two.

Error:-9672 when trying to add HP Photosmart C3180 printer.

Printer: HP Photosmart C3180
"An error occured while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-9672"
Printer works fine if connected directly to my iMac. But, through "Airport Extreme Base Station", I get the error.
Anyone with same printer having same problem? Anyone solutions?
iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I found the same thing out yesterday and did the same solution.
One issue should be noted. The quality of the print is much worse since we are not using the correct print driver. Works fine for standard unimportant text printing, but really can't be used for printing photos.
Connect the printer directly to the computer USB and print a photograph using the real print driver, then connect wirelessly using the above method and print the same photo. The difference is dramatic.
It also seems to overuse black ink when hooked up through the Airport, and the printer light blinks for a while after printing is done.
Anyway, I plan on leaving it hooked up wirelessly for convenience sake, but when good quality is needed I will attach it directly to the USB port.
You can verify my findings and let others know if you find the same thing I found.
Good luck, and lets hope there are more compatible printers available in the future.

Error 9672 when adding wireless HP printer

I am trying to add a HP 1315 printer for wireless printing through a Airport Express. I am using a MacBook Pro. Each time I attempt to add the printer, I receive a "error -9672". I am using the most uptdate HP driver downloaded from the HP site. The computer prints without problem when connected with the USB cable. Thoughts?

Nugen!!!
I could kiss you!!!
After almost 24 hours struggling (including a 40 minute phone call to Apple support), your post got my HP psc 1110 working over my new Airport Express, many many thanks!!!

Error 9672 when trying to "re-add" HP Deskjet 3900 printer

Hi, I've seen the discussion about the Error 9672. But the answers don't really help. I get the same errormessage when trying to re-add the HP 3900 deskjet printer that I had to delete because it was not working properly. Now I just can't add it again... I can find it as an available Bonjour printer. But what can I do next? I haven't really been able to find out if this is a commonly known Apple bug, or if it is a bug that HP should be working to fix. Can anyone help? The printer works fine when connected directly via USB by the way.

Error -9672 when adding printer

I've looked on the posts, guys, and I can't find something that will help. I had a Brother MFC-201C on my Airport before, but I disconnected it and used it directly through USB. I have just tried reconnecting it to the Airport, and it is identified as a rendevous printer, but when I try to add it I get the "error -9672" problem. Any ideas how I go about getting this printer added? I've updated all the firmware of Airport.

Try this first:
1. Unplug AirPort Express, and turn off the printer.
2. Disconnect the USB cable from the AirPort Express.
3. Plug in AirPort Express, and turn on the printer.
4. After AirPort Express finishes starting up, reconnect the USB cable from the printer.
If that fails, read Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express

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.
