How do i select a different printer driver?

I have a Canon MP610 which since upgrading to Lion has been listed as a Generic Postscript Printer. This doesn't allow some of the functions I used to have in SL where Canon drivers were used.
I've downloaded the lates drivers for the MP from Canon and ran the installer package. When I try and reinstall the printer through Print and Scan Prefs>Add Printer>Print Using > Choose a Driver or Printer Model > Select Printer Software > a Printer Software dialog opens that contains no data.
I have the same driver working on my older, Snow Leopard MBP, and it works perfectly
Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Thx, J

  • How can I select a different internal drive to boot from?

    I have 2 drives (bay 1 and 2) that are both bootable.
    I'm just wondering - at startup how do I get a choice of which drive to boot from?
    Right now it is booting up with the drive in bay 2, but I want it to boot from the drive in bay 1 (I want to do this so I can completely erase the drive currently in bay 2 and use it for something else).
    A basic one. I'm sure there is some startup key command that I should use that will let me pick, just can't figure out what it is....
    Thanks!!

    Press the Option key at startup, select the desired drive, and push the button with the straight arrow. To permanently change the setting, use the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

  • "Try Selecting a Different Printer or File Type" Error - iPad2 - Officejet Pro 8600 - ePrint error

    Greetings...
    I just got an Officejet Pro 8600 and I've been trying to get web pages to print using HP ePrint from my iPad 2 (iOS 7.0.6). I go into the ePrint app, go to web page of choice, and then click on my printer option to print. It renders on screen and then throws out the following error:
    "Try Selecting a Different Printer or File Type" "Officejet Pro 8600 [5124FC] doesn't support this file type."
    I can use ePrint from the iPad to print pictures from camera roll.
    This only is problematic when I try to print web pages (I tried amazon.com for test).
    I have no problems doing this from my iPhone...only the iPad.
    I've tried rebooting device and trying again....same thing.
    Anybody know how to fix this? I really want to be able to print web pages from my iPad.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hello Possie,
    Thank you for the update.  I have to say I'm surprised and disappointed that the uninstall and reinstall did not resolve the issue, especially since you can print the page from your iPhone.
    I have spent some time researching this and working with my colleagues in HP's Cloud Services and we have a couple of suggestions/questions.
    Do you get the same error when you try to print the web page using Apple's AirPrint feature? 
    Please ensure the iPad is connect to your home wireless network and try to print again.
    Please try changing the settings in the ePrint app before printing the web page.  Please ensure that the paper quality is set to normal (see screen shot below) and that the paper size is set to letter (see 2nd screen shot below).
    Please let us know how it goes. 
    Regards,

  • How do I select two-sided printing now that I have Adobe Reader? I didn't know it would change my pr

    How do I select two-sided printing now that I have Adobe Reader? I didn't know it would change my print function at all and am curious why it does. My HP printer always did this and on the old screen there was a check off box for two-sided printing. Thank you!

    Hello Mickeyps
    What's the Adobe Reader version at your end? I am using Reader 11.0.06 and I do see this option. See below.

  • I am using FCPX 10.1.3. and want to duplicate my project, and its complete resources, to a different hard drive.  When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive.  How do duplicate to a different hard drive

    I am using FCPX 10.1.3. with Yosemite, and want to duplicate my project and its complete resources to a different hard drive.  When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive, unlike the previous FCPX that gave you options. How do duplicate to a different hard drive?

    Since projects are now stored in events and events are stored in libraries, you need to create a new l;bray on that different drive or open an existing library on that drive. Then duplicate your project and move it to the new library. It will copy the media. Then use the Consolidate Project File command to round up any external assets; there may or may not be any.

  • How do I select a different drive for my emails

    I am trying to set up my mailbox on a different location/drive other than on the installation drive. This gives me access to the email should my system crash and makes backing up easier. I've been using windows mail but that is getting buggy now. So I decided to drive with a Thunderbird but I did not find an option (which was under maintenance in windows mail) for setting up a different location for holding the mail. Is this possible?

  • Bonjour won't let me select an Apple print driver for an HP printer

    I am trying to print from a Windows XP machine to an HP Photoshop 7350 printer attached to my Power Mac G4 using a wireless connection. However, when I try to assign an Apple color print driver in Bonjour Printer Wizard to the HP Photosmart 7350 printer, the Printer Wizard only allows me to select print drivers from the manufacturer HP.
    How can I get Bonjour Printer Wizard to let me assign Apple drivers? I know they are somewhere on the XP machine, because I was able to use them in the Printer Wizard with a different printer (an older Apple Personal Laserwriter).

    Hi Stephen. I think the easiest thing would be to
    download the Bonjour 1.0.2 beta release from the
    Apple web site.
    http://www.apple.com/bonjour/
    That release should have this problem fixed, and the
    Printer Wizard will automatically select Generic
    Postscript in your case which should allow you to
    print. Hope that helps.
    PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
    I've got the latest Bonjour on my XP machine and I'm attempting to print to an Epson SCX4600 on my Mac. I selected the default Generic PS. The test print goes to the CX4600 queue - attempts to print but doesn't and just stops the queue. I tried to start the queue and the same thing happens over. Any ideas?

  • How can i develop a custom Printer driver in LabVIEW

    I have one application in which when ever user prints a document (He will print only certain type of documents)
    it should get printed using some standard printer but at the same time the data should get communicated to our own custom device which is connected to the PC using serial port.
    how can i do this.
    I think if we can develop a our own driver which will first send data to serial device and then just call the standard printers driver then whole problem can be resolved
    The application will run on windows platform and the data i am expecting is purely a text data.

    I think i have not explained my problem properly. i am sorry for that.
    the problem is something like this.
    my end user is already having one program which is generating the data (Unfortunately that program do not save data to any file and our requirement is online updatation of data) which i want to give to my serial device. he dont have the source code hence we can not alter that perticular code. the data might be available to us only when he prints the data, where we can select any one of installled printers.
    hence we want to develop an application which will appear as printer driver to windows and when user prints we can capture printed data
    i think problem will be clear now.

  • How to re-install a specific print driver from my SL install disk?

    Have SL and mistakenly deleted my printer and it's drive. The driver installed w/ SL is a newer version than is available at Xerox online.

  • How to help Mac to find printer driver?

    Using an older Epson Stylus Photo R1800. I used Epson's downloadable 'un-install' program in an attempt to start with a clean slate on my new machine (MBP-retina). Never particularly happy w/ print results on previous Mac OS's. Always thought there might be some type of double-processing going on between multiple drivers (if that's even possible?).
    Epson's driver site says the latest incarnation must be gotten from the Mac App Store. When trying to set-up the printer, the MAS will find and download an 'update' for a driver, but not download a driver. Went back to Epson's driver site and downloaded their latest downloadable driver for this printer. When I go to 'add' the printer I choose 'other' as my option to find the driver. Tried any and all parts of the downloaded 'Epson' file at user/HD/Applications/Library/Printers/Epson, but mountain lion will not recognize any thing as the driver and goes about searching in the MAS.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get through or around this? Thanks in advance.

    Bruce,
    Afraid I have no link to post. I simply poked around through the batch files that came with Epsons printer driver package until I found something big enough that I figured it had to be the driver. I copied that particular file to desktop then used it as the 'other' driver source when adding the printer to the system.
    I ran a couple of prints to see that if it worked. Seems I might still have issues. The prints are ok, but not what I'd call good. But then I've never ever been able to get what I'd call 'great' prints from my set-up. Always thought there might be some kind of double-processing going on. I use Lightroom, and always have had to manipulate my jpgs, often to extremes, to get something that even looked like a keeper. Stupid I know, but I've been doing this so long that I've just accepted it as normal operating procedure.
    Sorry, I know this doesn't help much. If I have some time this afternoon I may try to play with it some more to see if I can work out the bugs. If I come up with something that works, I'll post my findings.

  • How can I tell if the print driver was updated?

    I am sorry to ask such a basic question, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I'm in System Profiler>Printers and I can see me printer says the driver version is 3.0.1. Is this the right place to check drivers? I have downloaded an update to make it vs. 7.3.1, but it hasn't changed.
    I am trying to get my HP 2355 AOI to scan (like everyone else), and I can't figure out what to do after the download and install of 2350731EN-1.dmg. I download it, install it and yet the driver version doesn't change. I think I am missing a step.
    Thanks.

    I am sorry to ask such a basic question, but I cannot
    for the life of me figure it out. I'm in System
    Profiler>Printers and I can see me printer says the
    driver version is 3.0.1.
    This is the version number for HP's current drivers for most of their inkjets and multifunction devices.
    Is this the right place to
    check drivers? I have downloaded an update to make
    it vs. 7.3.1, but it hasn't changed.
    This is the version number for HP's multifunction device driver set. It includes the printer driver, the scanner driver, and assorted other stuff.
    I am trying to get my HP 2355 AOI to scan (like
    everyone else), and I can't figure out what to do
    after the download and install of 2350731EN-1.dmg.
    I download it, install it and yet the driver version
    doesn't change. I think I am missing a step.
    You did everything right. HP's site is less than clear on the matter.
    You should be able to scan using the drivers in the 7.3.1 driver set, plus a graphics app such as Photoshop or Graphic Converter. There should be an app called (I think, I'm not at home where my HP MFD lives right now) HP Scan which will be called by the graphics app, or by HP Image Zone, and can be launched by itself if necessary.
    Some HP MFDs can also use VueScan. HP MFDs don't seem to like Apple's Image thingie.

  • How do install an OS 9 print driver if I can't startup in 9?

    That pretty much sums up the issue. My G4 Powerbook will run classic but won't startup in 9. I have a print driver installer for 9 but it returns odd errors when I try to run the installer.
    Thanks

    If the printer in question has a Mac OS X driver, you don't need to install the Mac OS 9 driver into a system which is being used as Classic for Mac OS X 10.4; instead, use the LaserWriter 8 driver in the Chooser.

  • How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

    I have researched the knowledge base and found:
    Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
    This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into  the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
    The error message is:
    Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
    error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
    Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.
