Error adding printer to Bonjour

I am getting the error message "An error occurred when trying to add selected printer" when adding my HP PSC1200 connected to Airport Express via Bonjour. When I tried to add the printer manually in "System Preference" ->"Print and Fax", "Printer Browser" recognized the printer, but it could not pick up the correct printer driver under "Print Using" picklist.
This problem occurs only on my Intel-based iMac, my Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3 had no problem working with the printer over Bonjour. Does the Intel iMac required different a driver?
Steve

I am having the exact same problem with my OKIPAGE 8iM black and white printer. I have the latest print driver as shown on the OKI website installed but the Mac just wont print to it. I always get the message "An error occurred when trying to add selected printer"
My new DELL laptop running Windows XP prints straight to it using Bonjour for Windows so it cant be the old(ish) printer.
Also the Mac Keeps dropping the Airport signal (mainly after opening <Printer setup Utility> and getting the above meassage, BUT the Dell laptop still sees the ABS and continues to work fine on the Internet. So its just a Mac problem!
Come on any one else sorted this problm?

  • Error Adding Printer Samsung CLX-3180 Series OSX 10.9

    MacBook Pro Retinta Display OS X 10.9.4 8 G RAM; 2 GHz Intel Core
    I am having troubling adding a printer to my recently purchased Macbook
    I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung website for the CLX-3180 Series, the software installs (at least it says it did).
    I then go to add printer under printers/scanners and select Samsung CLX-3180 Series from the window. Messages indicate that the software was downloaded and updated and then I get the message "An error occurred while trying to add the selected device; Unable to find an appropriate software on your system after running software update."
    I then reset the printer system, update the system software, restarted the laptop and tried again; still get the same error message.
    No clue what to do next.

  • Error adding printer: software installed incorrectly

    When I try to install a HP Photosmart C310 on my MacBook Pro and I use the AirPrint driver, which I always do (also on my iMac, where it does work), It gives the error: "The software for the was installed incorrectly..." In the console I can see the error: "System Preferences: File "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/ipp2ppd" not available: No such file or directory".
    I already did empty the entire folder Library/Printers/ and I did a reset of the printing system via System Preferences (and restarted my MacBook). Even after I reinstall the drivers from HP, both the errors keep coming. Suggestions for a solution are very welcome...

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Trying to add Canon MP500 printer via Bonjour; get Error -9672

    I have my Airport Express hooked up to my Canon MP500 printer. My computer recognizes the Airport Express. I go to Print & Fax in System Preferences and try and add the printer via Bonjour - it stalls and then displays Error -9672. I have had this printer hooked up successfully before. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    From HP Support
    Reset the device when it is not functioning properly.
    If the device is not functioning properly or to clear memory, reset it.
    On the operator panel, press and hold the <ON/OFF> button for one second. (The display will go blank.)
    Wait approximately ten seconds and then press the <ON/OFF> button again.
    Wait until the device has completed its cycling process before submitting another job request.
    A number of site online mention problems with different brand printers on intel macs. Some have correcedt the problem by downloading an older driver that that which came with the computer.

    Thanks

    You may have a file permissions error or some other corruption.
    Try these one at a time (restart and try adding after each) -
    Reset Printing System - a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility.
    Download the 10.4.10 COMBO updater and re-update with that.
    Try the free trial of Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.

  • "Error while printing" when sharing printer under 10.6

    This just started yesterday. When attempting to print from either of two other computers (both 10.4.11) to a printer (HP LJ 1160) connected via USB to a MacBook Pro (10.6.2), the print fails with the cryptic error message: "Error while printing."
    I have searched these help forums and have tried repairing permissions on all computers. I have also verified that the /tmp symbolic link is in place on all computers.
    I have also tried resetting the print systems on all computers. I am able to add the shared printer on the client computers, but when attempting to print to the selected shared printer I still get the error.
    The Console on the client computer generates the following items in the log:

  • Error printing Check - "Missing Parameter Values. Error During Printing"

    Dear friends,
    Our client is in SAP B1 8.81 Pl07 and is facing an error while printing checks designed in Crystal Reports. As soon as they click on "Print" button, we are getting an error "Missing Parameter Values. Error During Printing".
    We have checked the Crystal Reports and all the parameters are given.
    Can anyone help me regarding this?
    Thanks and regards,

    When you print on add any stock transactions document, with Crystal report layout, you receive error message:'Missing parameter values' and then 'Error during the printing; ensure all parameters are defined'
    Step by Step scenario:
    1.Go to Administration / System Initialization / Print preferences and select the tab per document.
    2.Select the document stock transfer and tick the box print document when adding document and click on update.
    3.Go to stock management / stock transactions / stock transfer
    set the Crystal report template as default.
    Note:
    - The issue is reproduced also for Goods Receipt and Good Issue.

  • HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome

    HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome. Extra large font sizes and weird formatting issues only when printing emails from Gmail within Chrome. No problems when printing the same email from Gmail+Internet Exolorer or Thunderbird. Using the IE Tab extension in Chrome prints the email correctly but the style of Gmail's message window is completely weird ie: formatting bar is spread out vertically instead of horizontally. I believe it is clear that this is an application specific issue between the HP LASERJET CP1525nw printer and Google Chrome + Gmail. This printing scenario does not occur when printing anything else or when printing via another printer. I would appreciate receiving any suggestions to solve this issue.

    Hi AbZu, 
    You need to contact Google Chromes technical support as this is only an issue with Chrome. You have indicated that the printer functions correctly everywhere else. Check out the link below for Google Chrome technical support. Let me know if you need additional assistance?

  • Issues in IDoc Sender Scenario:IDoc  with errors added

    Hi all
             Am working on an IDoc to JDBC scenario. In R/3 system, I have created distribution model, partner profile, RFC destination and port.The IDoc is generated and is sent to XI successfully. But in XI , there is no entry in SXI_MONITOR for this (unfortunately IDX5 is not available in the XI server! ;as of now). Instead an entry is made in WE05 and WE02 with stautus 56(IDoc with errors added). In the status record:
    status 56 : External segment name E2KOMG003 cannot be interpreted
    status 60 : Basic IDoc type COND_A03 could not be found.
    And the segments displayed in data record  are different from the segments in the data record of the IDoc generated at R/3. (say for E1KOMG at R/3, E2KOMG003 in XI).Earlier the flow was working fine and the DB table was updated successfully. And the entire stuff is believed to be 'unmodified' .
    Would any one help in resolving the issue.
    Thanks,
    Chilanka
