Help Adding a Printer!

I got an HP deskjet 3054 printer as part of Apple's program and I set it all up, but I cannot add it.
I go into print and scan within system preferences, press add a printer, click on my printer, and we're all good. But then a pop up comes up saying Apple must look for a software update for the printer to be used. It looks for an update, finds it, downloads it, then installs it, and an error comes up saying my software is not available at the time.
I've tried installing the software from HP (for OSX Lion) multiple times and from Apple too. But every time the same process happens that I have described before. I add the printer via USB. My friend has the same macbook pro and can add the printer fine so I know it's the computers fault.
If anyone can help me that'd be totally awesome. Thanks

I've done that too before like I already said.
I finished installation of the drivers. As you can see.
I follow the instructions and try to add the printer
And instead of adding the printer it does this. Even though I just installed the software
And installs again?

  • Need Help Adding Network Printer

    I am trying to add a network printer on a Solaris (Sun OS 5.6) system. I am doing this using lpadmin as outlined in volume 2 of the system admin guide.
    The printer appears on the system, but when I try sending a print job, I get the message 'Segmentation error - core dumped' and nothing prints on the printer.
    I have added the printer to the etc/hosts and can ping it o.k.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    There is info missing from your post that I like to have when considering these issues, so here is what I'm assuming:
    You used the command:
    lpadmin -p printername -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=printerhostname -I contentype -T printertype
    (note: I like -m netstandard instead of
    -i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard because I'm lazy! they mean and do the same.)
    You have the latest version of patch 106235 for lp, which I believe is -09
    This is perhaps not the first printer or first attempt at adding a printer on this host.
    Possibly this machine was upgraded from a previous version of Solaris?
    If you can find the core file (it may be where you issue the lp command or in the /var/spool/lp/tmp directory), you can use the adb command to at least extract the name of the binary that is coring:
    adb core
    This could be several things that could require anything from a spool clean to an remove and reinstall of the print packages. Any more details you can provide? Perhaps the output of lpstat -p printername -l? Does this happen with any printer you create?

  • I need help adding my printer to my home wireless network

    My printer was shut down for several months. When i turned it on it was not longer connected to my wireless network. It recognizes my SSID and that of other wireless networks in the area. But I cannot get it connected to my home wireless network.
    When I enter my passphrase it returns error "passphrase invalid." If I use the Push Button or PIN set-up I get the error message "WPS timed out."
    I have followed the instructions useing the HP Printer set-up disc. It worked on one computer today (it printed a wireless network test report). But, then I could not find the printer on the network later. I also noticed the report does not show a IP address for the printer.
    I have also been online with my internet provider and we changed my passphrase 11 times and the printer never recognized any of them. I am operating another printer wirelessly on the same system. By the way, shutting the other printer down did not seem to work. But, they both worked on the network previously.I have also added and deleted the printer several times.
    The printer I am trying to add is a HP Photosmart Premium Web C309n-s
    I am using a Windows 7 Operating System 64-bit on my laptop and Windows XP 32 bit on the other computers on my home wireless network,
    Please help.

  • Help adding wireless printer in Solaris 9

    I have a home network with a wireless PC and wireless Mac, and an Ethernet connected Ultra running SPARC OS 9. Bought a new HP Photosmart C7280 printer, which supports wireless connection. Easy enough to connect the PC and Mac. How about the Ultra?
    Poking around, found this cmd:
    # lpadmin -p hp -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=+ipaddr+:9100 -o protocol=tcp
    Subsituting my printer's ipaddr and running the cmd as root gave this error:
    lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible
    From the Ultra, I can ping the printer and telnet to it (and get it to accept input which prints). Any help appreciated.

    Solution is to use CUPS:

  • When will there be fix for AirPrint in Yosemite? I cannot use my HP printer. I have uninstalled/resinstalled everything you can think of. I have deleted and added my printer more time than I can count. I have checked for updates. Nothing has worked.

    When will there be fix for AirPrint? Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot print from my MacBook Air which I use mostly. (I can print from the my old 2005 G5 desktop and iPad2 just fine on the same network.) I could print just fine when I had Mavericks. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun: resetting print system, deleting and adding the printer, checking for updates, uninstalling and reinstalling printer software and folders, turning off modem, router etc. NOTHING works.
    The laptop shows that it is printing but nothing happens. Then it says it cannot locate the printer or there is a broken pipe. But it does tell me that I have a low level in one of the ink cartridges (which is true.)
    Help! I have warned everyone I know not to upgrade. Is there a way to go back to Mavericks?

  • Missing print driver when adding rendezvous printer

    Hello all, hopefully you smart people can help me.
    The new iMac (10.4.9) is glorious and printing on the new HP Photosmart D5069 via USB, no problems. I want to share the printer with two laptops (an iBook and Powerbook, both running 10.3.9). I enabled sharing.
    When I go to add the printer on the laptops, under Rendezvous printing it sees the printer at the iMac (@ computer). I add it, but then I need the print driver.
    So I stepped back and installed the HP software disc on the laptops to get the print driver on there. I installed it via USB. I can print from a laptop to the printer via USB.
    However, when I return the printer to its USB connection on the iMac, and then proceed to add the shared printer via Rendezvous on the laptops, I still can't find the printer driver. Under Printer Model/HP there is no Photosmart D5xxx model. Using the generic print driver leads to no printing via Rendezvous (it shows up in the queue on the iMac, but no printing occurs).
    So how do I add the correct print driver? It must be on my hard drive, since I can USB print, but I can't reveal its presence to Rendezvous.
    As an added note, I thought Rendezvous was supposed to make it EASY. If you have to add the print driver manually, I'm not sure how that helps using Rendezvous.
    Thanks

    Repair permissions (Disk Utility) after any HP driver install. Then restart the computer and try Adding the printer.
    For troubleshooting, try using the HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver included in OS X. If you don't see that either, you may need to update your laptops with Gutenprint, the new name for Gimp-Print drivers:

  • Set-up help needed to print from HPJ4580 via Time Machine

    This should work but I can't seem to make it!
    My HPJ4580 prints fine directly from my MacBook Pro but when I go through the steps to connect and print using the USB connection on the Time Capsule (so my husband and I can both print wirelessly) the printer is not found.
    Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong??
    THANKS!

    OK, so between your helpful prompts and my brain finally operating more satisfactorily I have sorted it.
    Turns out I hadn't selected the proper printer driver - I just selected what looked like the right printer name, which of course was the one I had used from when the printer was connected directly to my computer, hence the wrong location (my MacBook Pro).
    I fixed that by clicking the + button on the bottom left of the list and added the printer again but this time with "Kind' being Bonjour so that it now appears in the available printer list with Time Machine identified as the location.
    Et voila... fully operational!
    Thanks for nudging me along.

  • Default D:\i386 When Adding 86 Print Driver To Server 2008 R2 64

  • Ease of adding new printer- what am I missing?

    I haven't had to add any peripherals to my iMac for several years, but am now trying to help my parents (in another state) install a new printer on their eMac. I've always heard how easy it is to add and install peripherals on a Mac compared to a PC, but they're having a heck of a time and I'm having trouble talking them through it over the phone.
    They're trying to install a Canon Pixma MP-830. They installed the software from disk and tried to print- nothing. I explained how to "Add A Printer" from the Print Utility, but they're it's still not showing up for some reason. Part of the problem is the "old dog/new tricks" thing- they're in their late 60's and are slowly adapting to the world of computing; another problem is that I'm trying to help them remotely.
    My brother, a PC-guy, insists that if they were installing it on a PC it would be plug and play right out of the box. My parents and I are all getting quite frustrated with the difficulties they're encountering, considering it should be a fairly basic exercise.
    Is there something we're missing about the supposed ease of adding a printer? It certainly hasn't been easy thus far.
    Thanks.
    iMac G3 600 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Hello Dave,
    There are a couple of things you can get them to check. The first is that the printer is showing as being connected to the Mac. Get them to open System Profiler and select Hardware > USB. All going well they should see the printer details on the USB bus. If it is present then we can move on but if it isn't then get them to disconnect the power to the 830 (not the USB) and then reconnect the power. The printer should now appear unless it or the usb cable is faulty.
    If it does appear then we can check the driver. After running the driver installer they have to restart. If they don't then that can stop the software detecting the printer. If the driver did install correctly then when they go to add the printer they should see it in the Default Browser view of the Printer Setup Utility. When they select it the Print Using menu should show Canon IJ Printer. If it doesn't then there has been a problem with the software installation. So I would get them to do the following;
    1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
    2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
    3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
    4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the file Canon iPxxxx xxx.pkg
    5. Empty the Trash
    6. Restart the Mac
    7. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Check the Canon web site to ensure you have the latest version. Do the restart when prompted. This is important.
    8. After the restart, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
    9. Open Printer Setup Utility and click Add.
    10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
    11. Click Add to add the printer.
    Hopefully this is not too much for them but unfortunately when things don't work then these extra steps are needed. As for your brothers comment - I can guarantee you that Windows is no better. The same problem does occur.

  • Adding a Print Icon to the Toolbar

    I'm working on a online help for my company's product. I
    would like to add a printer icon to the toolbar in my online help
    so that users can click the icon to print instead of using the
    browser's print. Is it possible to do this? If so, how?

    Hi all
    Not doubting Colum's advice here, but if that fails to work,
    try grabbing a copy of my Skinny on Skins from my web site (site is
    linked in my sig line)
    My reason for possible doubt is that I recall it's not as
    simple as just adding a print command as the toolbar action when
    clicked by the user. Yeah, it printed, but printed the frame the
    toolbar icon is in. You have to target the frame the topic is in.
    Unless, of course, your goal is to print the toolbar. In that case
    you should be fine.
    Cheers all... Rick

    Hi @Sunshyn2005
    I timed-out waiting for advice, and contacted HP Support, who helped me get the printer back on the air.  While we didn't manage to root-cause it, in the course of trying various things, the tech disabled Norton 360's firewall, which then allowed connecting to the printer, and restoring print service, which remains up after re-enabling the firewall. 
    The timing of the disconnection doesn't neatly corellate with any Windows updates.  My own theory is that it was caused by a 360 update, but am unable to find a smoking gun, since 360 doesn't provide update history.  The exact root-cause remains a mystery, but at least provides another thing for folks to try should they find themselves in similar straits.
    I really appreciated your hint that a Windows update might be the root cause, and your pointing out how to review the history and back-out updates: this morning, I found that Windows had installed a batch of updates overnight, and found that no browsers worked.  Using your advice, I rolled back the update, restoring browsing.
    Thanks,

  • URGENT HELP REQUIRED: HP PRINTER ONLY WORKING IN BLACK AND WHITE

    Hi - really hoping somone can help..!  Just updated all three Macs to new OSX Mavericks and now both HP printers 940c and 5510c both only print in black and white.  Need to get them working in colour for my daughters school homework!!
    Have seen all the forums saying look at printer settings, but none of the settings have the old OSX options turning black and white and colour on and off.  It appears the drivers that were on the previous Mac software have been deleted or turned off by Apple..?  WHY!!  I wish I had not updated any of the Macs if I'd known I'd lose printing functionality!!!  
    Seems HP no longer provide drivers for these printers that are over 5 years old.  Trouble is I've got hundreds of pounds worth of colour cartirdges already bought for them that I thought I'd use!!!!!!!!!  Maybe I need to go back to a PC as at least you can print things!!! ;-)
    Look forward to any helpful comments....

    I thought I had solved the problem when I came across a new HP App that specifically claimed to solve the problem people were having with iPrint: "HP ePrint Home & Biz", but that does not work either.  It gets as far as registering the App but then will not complete the verification (just will not open HP ePrintercenter.com).  But in that case I think the problem is that my printer (Photosmart C7280) does not have the eprint capability.  But it IS listed as compatible with the iPrint App (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/hp-iprint-app-help-not-finding-printer/m-p/827... )
