How do I install HP Printer Utility with OS 10.6?

My wife has an iMac (Intel) with OS X 10.6.8.
When we bought it (about 2 years ago), we downloaded HPIJS 3.10.6 software so that our ancient HP DeskJet 930C would work.
Printing was fine until recently. Based on the troubleshooting tips in the HP manual, there are several steps that can be taken (clean the print heads;
calibrate the printer) from the Printer Utility. But it's not there (I followed Apple's instructions for finding it under Print/Fax in Sys. Preferences), and HP's site doesn't show any way of just downloading the printer Utility. (Their most recent drivers are not for OS 10.6.)
Any suggestions? Thanks!

That could be the key. We've had several inkjets that fit the "rarely used" category and all but our current one died from lack of use.
The HP we have now (PhotoSmart C6280) is a multifunction and making copies several times a week with it seems to have avoided light-use clogging. Older printers were not nearly as forgiving on being ignored.
That printer model is on this list posted on the HP support site:
Product not supported in Mac OS X v10.6 or later
As you seem to have had it working at some point under 10.6.8, you must have been using 10.5 drivers--which are still up on the HP website. Did the computer have 10.5 first and was then upgraded to 10.6 during the time teh printer was working?

Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?

I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?

Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)

How do I install a printer?

yes I know it sounds like an idiotic question; please bear with me. I have a relatively modern (<1 year old) business colour laserjet (Kyocera Mita Ecosys FS-C5025N) which is connected to my home network via wired ethernet. My MBP is also connected to my network via wired ethernet. My problem is that having once installed my printer (and had it working) I had to turn the printer off to clear a job and now my MBP won't communicate with it.
When I turned it off and on again, the DHCP on my network gave my printer a new address (192.168.1.5 instead of 192.168.1.19). So I'm guessing that OS X has 'lost' it in some way. My solution was to go into System Preferences, Print and Fax, and delete the printer, with the expectation of being able to reinstall it. however, the problem is that when I click '+' in Print and Fax to add a printer, my K-M printer is nowhere to be found (when I installed it the first time, OS X found the printer automatically and I just selected it).
So how can I find/install this printer again? When I click the + in Print & Fax now I am presented with 4 options, default, Fax, IP and Windows. If I select IP and put in 192.168.1.5 under 'Address' (using all other default options, protocol = Line printer Daemon LPD, etc) it finds the printer. However, once installed, when I check the printer out, I see a yellow 'attention triangle' with the message 'this printer was not installed properly'.
I thought that I would try downloading the driver from the Kyocera Mita site. I've done this and installed the printer this way ... it all ran correctly but when I go back into Print & Fax - no printer is to be found? Is there a secret directory somewhere into which I must go and delete something rogue that's gumming up my system?
Any ideas, you gurus out there? Solved Stars await! Please.

Thanks Pahu, much appreciate the input. I'm working through this now and have the following: Apologies for War & Peace - I just wanted to be precise...
Looking up Bonjour I see that it's a 'IP protocol to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers'. When I set up the printer the first time, I do recall OS X finding it and the word Bonjour was there (I just didn't know what it meant). So I'm guessing that the printer must have had the right responder settings for it to work. It's just this time round it's not finding it. Nothing has changed on the printer end (apart from switch-off, switch-on). Hence, as I've come from 20+ years in Windows, I know that sometimes you have to delete registry entries to clear a problem before reinstalling a device, I wondered if there was a similar Apple procedure?
Looking at the manual, I see that the printer is PCL6 and Postscript3 compatible with auto emulation sensing. So I've set up the first test to be as an IP printer, LPD, inputting the address 192.168.1.5 in the Address field, and using the generic PCL driver as you suggest. When I click Add, I don't see any options but I guess that's because of the generic driver. The printer now appears in my Print & Fax box, but when I double click it I see a new box which says that the printer software was installed incorrectly, please re-install. Despite this, I can print to it (I tested from within Word). But I have no advanced options.
I would like to set up a second test using the Kyocera printer driver (using the generic PCL driver doesn't give me any printer options). I have downloaded this one here http://usa.kyoceramita.com/americas/jsp/Kyocera/download_center.jsp?pid=16744&pc at=10563&rcid=10009&rscid=10007#bottom, selecting the 'Kyocera Mita OSX 10.4 & 10.5 installer v 1.0' and the 'Kyocera Mita OSX 10.6 Permissions Fix' as you suggest in your reply. The former download a .mpkg.zip file which I extracted (53 items) using zipeg. When I ran the file it said that it was an installer for the printer, and completed successfully. When I checked in Print & Fax, clicked the +, there was no KM-printer installed (under default). This is consistent with the blurb about the permissions fix, which should fix this I guess?
So I then downloaded and unzipped the Permissions Fix, which put a folder (containing a file called Kyocera OS X 10.6 solution.command) on my desktop. When I try to run this I receive the message 'this file could not be executed because you do not have the appropriate access privileges'. I'm the only user on my MBP with full privilege? When I checked through Finder, Get Info I have Read & Write access for this file.
There is a PDF which I've found to install this file. It says
Follow the Installation Instructions below to install the MAC 10.6 PPD Patch. The Patch will allow a new Kyocera Printer to be added.
Subject: 10.6 PPD File Patch Installation Instructions
On KMAconnect Download and run the OSX 10.4 & 10.5 Installer. (DONE)
Download the OSX10.6 permissionfix.zip file to your Mac running OSX 10.6.(DONE)
Double click the zip file to extract the contents to the desktop folder. (DONE)
Double click the file called Kyocera OS X 10.6 solution. A Terminal window will open. (NO IT DOESN'T, I GET THE ERROR MESSAGE ABOVE)
Key in the password for the (Root) Administrator when prompted for the changes to take affect. (CAN'T DO THIS DUE TO ERROR MESSAGE ABOVE...)
Note: When keying in the Administrator Password, the Terminal window will keep the Password Masked so it will not display any change in the window when the characters are being input. If there is no password assigned, one must be created before running the OSX10.6 solution file.
You can now add a Kyocera Printer in the normal manner.
Any thoughts on how I can run this file?
I don't know if it matters but the PDF says the file in the Permissions Fix is called Kyocera OS X 10.6 solution but it's actually called Kyocera OS X 10.6 solution.command ...?

How can I fix this printer error with Samsung SCX-4300 and SCX-4521f on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have two printers installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit):
1. Samsung SCX-4521f
2. Samsung SCX-4300
There are two computers (Windows 7 Professional, 32-Bit) connected to this server that utilise these shared printers.
The drivers installed are as follows:
SCX-4x21_Win7_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7 3.04.96:03 Print Driver 11 Dec, 2009 12.37 MULTI LANGUAGE)
SCX-4300_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit) 3.04.95:07 Print Driver Jan 19, 2011 53.07 MULTI LANGUAGE)
After printing documents for some time (within a 24 period) the printers no longer respond to print requests.
On the server opening "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers" shows the two printers with yellow exclamation marks.
The "SCX-4x21" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting" and "Printer: Error".
The "SCX-4300" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting".
Neither will print a test page.
Searching for new drivers automatically returns saying: "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
The error persists and nothing will print.
When double-clicking on the "SCX-4x21" printer (or going to "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers\Samsung SCX-4x21 Series") you see the following:
"Printer: Error" and "N document(s) in queue".
Clicking on either of these brings up the print queue and shows a document with the status of "Error - Printing".
As each job with an error is cancelled the next one attempts to print and also displays an error like the last.
Once all the jobs are cleared the printer information says "Printer: Ready".
Sending a "Print Test Page" sends the printer into an error state saying "Printer: Error".
With the "SCX-4300", sending a "Print Test Page" displays a bubble saying: "Toner Empty: Replace Toner".
However, I can't see any specific error messages.
How do I find out what exactly "Needs troubleshooting"?
Please can anyone advise further?

The printer (SCX-4300) has stopped again.
Since it has been stopped I have done your recommendations:
Unticked the "Enable bidirectional support" option under the "Ports" tab in the printer properties.
Set the "Interactive Services Detection" to Automatic and started it.
Unfortunately the printer did not start printing, the print jobs did not restart or delete.
I decided to check the Operational logs that we enabled.
The first job I see goes like this:
Information: Rendering job 41.
Error: The print spooler failed to delete the file C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\00041.SHD, error code 0x2. See the event user data for context information.
Information: The print job 41 was sent through the print processor SSE1MPC on printer Samsung SCX-4300 Series, driver Samsung SCX-4300 Series, in the isolation mode 1 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated
sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x0.
Information:Printing job 41.
Information:Spooling job 41.
This job actually printed.
Other jobs printed fine with no error.
There are no other errors in the "Operational" log other than the "print spooler failed to delete" error.
Any ideas what to try now?
Update: Unticking the "Enable bidirectional support", clearing the print queue and then trying again seems to have fixed the problem for now.

How can I install these printer drivers?

I have a Brother HL-2220, which doesn't appear in any packages in the AUR (I already have CUPS and hplip installed, and the printer isn't yet recognized with cupsd running). Its drivers are available here, in both rpm and deb format. How can I install them?

Read this on how to extract a deb file:
http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-t … -packages/
Once it is extracted, you can create a package and then install it.
Here is a PKGBUILD file for a similar package:
PKGBUILD for cups wrapper
PKGBUILD for lpr
Your packages will likely have similar dependencies.
Another method that is warned against is using the Debian package manager. I do not know the results of doing this.

on how I can install it. My system Type is x64-based PC and my system directory is C:\windows\system 32. Any suggestions are welcome, I will try everything that I haven't already tried. I previously had Adobe Photo Deluxe 3.o Deluxe Home Edition and I loved it, but it no longer works on XP or Vista. Thanks.

I don't think you will have much luck with that ancient program.
Why not go for Photoshop Elements? At least it's from the present century!
