Error -9672 While Adding Printer

I have connected an HP Deskjet Printer to my Airport Express. When I go into my Printer Utility to Add this printer, I am able to see it and select it. The location is correct and everything seems fine until I click on the Add button. This is when I get the following message:
An Error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.
Error -9672
I have tried everything and can't seem to get this to work. Any ideas anyone?

That is a common error, did you download & install the latest hp drivers, generally the ones that come on the CD are out of date!?
Might try these two after reinstalling the latest driver and repairing Permissions with a reboot afterwards...

Error -9672 while adding networked printer

While trying to add a networked HP 3600n color laserjet to the printer list (via Bonjour) on a 10.5.6 G4 Macbook I always ended up with 'an error occurred while trying to add the selected printer' with a -9672 error code. After much deleting of printers, resetting the print system etc. I found that the problem was with the actual printer (another OS X machine turned up the same error). I did a cold reset on the 3600 (hold the tickmark button while the machine starts into its initialization phase after power on, then select COLD RESET from the menus) and re-entered its network settings and the problem on the OS X machines went away.
Posted here in case anyone else hits this. This same error message and error code appears in other circumstances and these are dealt with in other posts.

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

Time Machine error message while restoring..."an error occurred while adding a recovery system to the destination disk

I had to change my hard drive in my MBP 15". I use Time Machine on a Time Capsule for backup. I am booting up my laptop with a bootable USB key. I have partitioned my new hard drive (bigger than the old one) and named it Macintosh HD (same as the old one). I select the option to restore from Time Machine Backup. I select one of my latest backup....select my destination drive...the restore process starts but stop within minutes with the following message. "An error occurred while adding a recovery system to the destination disk" It then prompts me to restart....
I need your help...what can it be.
Thanks

I've encountered this issue when the Time Machine was encrypted with FileVault.
Article: HT4718
Additional Information
Please note that OS X Recovery must be present on the computer's startup volume in order to use FileVault 2. Using RAID partitions or a non-standard Boot Camp partition on the startup disk may prevent OS X from installing a local Recovery system. See "OS X: Some features of Mac OS X are not supported for the disk (volume name)" for more information.
What seems to work, is reinstalling the OSX from the internet, and then using migration assistant to pull the user from the time machine backup external when logged into a temporary administrator user to move the original user back over.
Perhaps if you're stubborn, what would work is the following from the same article:
What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created
Some disk partition configurations may result in the OS X installer reporting that it could not create a Recovery System. In these situations, even if you are permitted to continue the install, you may want to quit the installation and create an external, bootable OS X hard drive with a Recovery System, first. You can continue your OS X upgrade on your computer's startup drive after creating an external Recovery System.
Your storage device must have at least 13 GB available (after formatting) to install OS X Lion or later and a Recovery partition.
These steps erase and reformat the storage device. This article instructs you on setting up a storage device to use the GUID partition scheme and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which are required to install OS X and a Recovery partition on your external storage device. You should back up any important files that are on the device to a different drive.
This procedure installs a version of OS X that is compatible with the Mac it was created with. Using this OS X system with a different Mac model may produce unpredictable results.
Your computer's serial number is sent to Apple as part of this process to help authenticate your request to download and install OS X Lion.

end
-- Select the return values
select @error, @error_message
end

Hi Rathna,
Just put the SP like this, without the -- before the IF. A -- marks the line as a command therefore you need to uncomment and it will work.
IF @OBJECT_TYPE = '59' AND (@TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'A' or @TRANSACTION_TYPE = 'U')
BEGIN
   IF EXISTS(
    SELECT T0.Price FROM IGN1 T0
    where IsNull(T0.Price, '0') = '0' and T0.DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
   BEGIN
    SELECT @ERROR=1,@ERROR_MESSAGE='Please insert the price !'
END
end
Hope it helps

An error occurred while adding the Cluster to the list

Hello,
I've installed the HFM 9.3.1 client on a Windows Server 2003 machine and now I'm attempting to configure it. I get all the way to the Server/Cluster Registration and when I try to add my one and only HFM application server to the list I'm present with this error.
"An error occurred while adding the Cluster to the list".
I don't see anything of use in the config tool log and as a result, I'm stuck. The odd thing is that not more than 10 minutes previously I added just finished installing the HFM client on another Windows Server 2003 machine and it installed / configured perfectly.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

You may have a DNS error of sorts. From a command line on the server which presents the error, ping the servername you are trying to reach. Do not use the cluster name, but instead use the server name or IP address. If you successfully reach it, use this in the registration utility. Once the server has been reached, it will return the cluster's name. If you cannot reach it using ping, focus on the underlying DNS problem.

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 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 occured while Adding a reference Web Service(BizTalkServer2009_Tutorial2)

Hi,
I was going through the Biztalk tutorials. While doing the second tutorial of web service I got stuck while adding reference to the Web Service.
Steps I did:
Add service reference(by right clicking my project) --> Advanced --> Add Web Reference --> URL : http://localhost/b2bsupplierprocesspo/process.asmx
But somehow this URL is not accesible over there. I got following error:
Please suggest/guide me on this.
Thanks, Girish R. Patil.

The error clearly states the reason for failure, being "CS0016: Could not write to output file ..... ..... - Access is denied."
The directory in question is the "C:\Windows\Microsoft.Ner\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files". So two things
Does the tutorial mention that the Web Service should be hosted under a .Net V2.0 Application Pool? If so then please give "Full Control" permissions to the above directory for the BizTalk Service Accounts (which also should be part of your "BizTalk Isolated
Host Users" Group.
If not then the service has to be hosted in a .Net v4.0 app pool. Change the Application Pool Settings through IIS Manager and give permissions to a similar folder (Temporary ASP.Net) but under the Framework\V4.0.... directory.
Regards.

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.

Alex just a quick response to your advice re disabling AV, this did not work for me, after more searching the internet for a solution I found a post from 2013 where one poster offered the advice to go one step further, and it was to remove the AV package
completely, the package in question was KIS2013. I have KIS2015 and figured I would try it as I was getting a little frustrated with the constant failure to create a virtual switch.
Anyway, it worked for me, I removed KIS, rebooted, and the VS was created on the first attempt without any issue. So simply pausing/disabling the AV from within the AV program may not be enough, I suspect that some may work and others not, as in the case
of KIS. I wonder also if you disable the AV services at start-up if this would also work but I did not try it.
Anyway to other people experiencing this issue, I suggest disabling AV first as per Alex's advice, and if this does not work for you then suggest trying to remove the AV before doing anything more drastic like re-installation of OS as I have seen suggested
in more than one place.
Thanks
Mr Bee
--EDIT--
Just wanted to add, it is also worth 'excluding' any Hyper-V folders from the AV engine, I did not try this before removing KIS2015 so it may work without the need to remove your AV product, but on re-install I have now exluded the folders as suggest by
a few folks in various posts...
