How do I install printer software for new brother MFC9970CDW printer?

I have a new macbook air and am trying to install a new printer.  Brother MFC9970CDW.
I have received message saying software installed but get stopped when i click to "add printer"  any suggestions?

Run Software Update (from the Apple menu) and select the OS update. There are new printer drivers in OS 10.8.3. That might help.
How is the printer connected to the Mac? USB cable?

  • How to re-install mac software on NEW OS

    i have had to do a fresh install of my OS with no migration and i don't understand how to get my software reinstalled.
    i understand that if i had a CD or DVD that i can install off the disk but how to i reinstall mac software?
    i see i have .dmg files and .app files in my "backed up software" folder and if i doubleclick on a .app file that i get a prompt that it was downloaded from the internet and do i want to open.
    is this incorrect as it is not installed in the APPLICATIONS folder and i should somehow run a dmg (if i saved it!) file in order to properly install the software?!
    should i instead try and find the software on the internet and download from there??
    i have to do a LOT of this and i would like to understand what i am doing.
    does one method require me to find my password for the software and the other doesn't?
    TIA

    Very easy. Tell me what version Photoshop you have and I'll direct you to the proper downloadable installer file.
    Have your serial number ready. You can activate on 2 computers, so don't deactivate the old one until you are updated and sure it works on the new one.
    As a side note: You never copy or transfer Photoshop to a new computer, you have to install.

  • After installing HP software for new printer laptop shuts down several times a day

    I had an older HP Photosmart printer and it lost it's wireless connection often.  I decided to get a new printer and purchase an HP Officemax 8600 printer and immediately my laptop started shutting down without notice.  It would leave me a notice that my computer had shut down and another screen showing all of the code and asking me if I wanted to send the error to Apple.  I am sure they have now received dozens or hundreds of these notices and of course I still have not responded.   I have not seen a fix.  Really poor response from a company that I thought had a committment to their customers.  Though wrong.

    Some of the HP software creates a lot of network traffic.  It can overwhelm some routers.  What kind of router and ISP do you use?
    Download 13 from here but do not subscribe to the Customer Participation Program (it creates a lot of traffic).

    Hi there
    I am trying to install a HP 6300 printer. I can see it when I look to install initially. Then click on installa nd the process starts and I get a message saying it is searching for the software. However after 20 seconds or so I get the message: Can't install the software for the HP Officejet 6300 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. This has happned over and over. I have updated the OSx and am 10.8.5. It works on my Mac Book Pro and did once work on the Mac Book Air but stopped so I unistalled and tried to reintsall but no joy. How can i gte the right drivers onto the laptop so that the seach finds them and connects the printer that it already sees?
    Many thanks

  • I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

    I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

    If all else fails, try this.  i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
    if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
    insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
    However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.

  • How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

    How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
    Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
    I am using Bootcamp.

    Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.
