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.

  • 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 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:

    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.

  • 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 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:-50 when trying to add my Brother Multifunction Printer.

    Computer details:
    OS X 10.4.11.
    Processor: 2GHz PowerPC G5
    Memory: 2GB DDR SDRAM
    Printer details: Brother MFC-7360N
    I have completely reset all printer settings to start again but still no luck.
    I have downloaded the latest printer driver (CUPS) - I have noticed when selecting this printer to add all other CUPS drivers are v1.1, my printer selection simply says CUPS. Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem? (I have attached image of error and printer selection.
    I have contacted Brother and they have advised that it is an apple system error.

    This usually indicates an input/output error.  Sounds like some data corruption where your printer drivers are installed.  See my FAQ*:

  • 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.

    You should always backup your iPad before ever doing anything major that coould result in a catastrophic loss is something goes wrong. You can then usually restore from the backup when your iPad has recovered.
    You should also be sure to have transfered any new purchases directly to your iPad to the iTunes app on your computer on a regular basis.

  • Error message when trying to add a printer  -50?

    I'm using an HP LaserJet 2100M, connected to my iMac G5 with a JetDirect 610 networking card through the ethernet port.
    Usually it works, but now when I've tried to reset the printing preferences (often necessary to get it to work) and go to choose a printer, I get an error message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.....error -50."
    I've tried restarting, and using the disk utility, but it says nothing needs to be repaired. Anybody have any suggestions? Do I have to reinstall, or will any updates help? I'm using 10.4.3
    thanks

  • Error -9672 while trying to add printer

    I had a printer connected via USB directly to my iMac 20 (OSX 10.4.11) that was working fine.
    This morning, I moved the USB connection from the iMac 20 to the Airport base station so I could access and use the printer wirelessly from a MacBook Pro (OSX 10.5.6). The MacBook Pro sees and can send print jobs to the printer.
    The iMac 20 can also see the printer It shows up in the Printer Browser list (with Bonjour as the Connection), but when I try to add it to the printer list in Print & Fax, I get "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error: -9672"
    I can't get a clear explanation of what the error is, and all Apple support articles on getting things corrected have been unsuccessful.
    I've tried everything I can think of...anyone got any ideas of what's going on here?

  • Error message when trying to add printer

    First my DeskJet 1125c wouldn't print then I got my fathers old deskjet 845c which worked for a few days. Now that doesn't work either and when I try to add a printer, I get an alert box with this message:
    "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers.
    "server-error-service-unavailable."
    So now I can't print from any of my two HP printers, DeskJet 845c or Deskjet 1125c.
    Please advice

  • Bizarre error message when trying to add BT Vision...

    I am getting a bizarre message when trying to add BT Vision to my BT Infinity broadband which is due to install on Thursday.  I'm hoping it is only due to the fact the order has not completed and will be fine in a week.  I did speak to an "advisor" but I helpfully was told the line cannot be checked until the current order is complete and I'd obviously want to know if there will be any problem with me getting BT Vision prior to that!
    Has anyone else seen this error message and have any advice?  Note that I am definitely not in any trial and the 0800 number is now dead.
