How to add generic USB printer

Hi-we have an old Samsung ML 6060 laser printer that we have had networked via ethernet to 2 macs and a PC. Has always worked fine. Now we have added a new HP photo printer to our system and have it hooked up via the ethernet. Since we don't have enough spaces on our router for both printers, we want to use a USB connection for the old Samsung. We have it connected directly to our intel iMAc and want to use print sharing to our Macbook Pro. Problem is getting the USB connection up and printing. System profiler sees the printer. The driver is old and probably not very functional on the new system although it worked fine with the ethernet connection. Samsung no longer issues new mac drivers for this printer. Printer set-up utility has a hard time finding the printer when we delete and try to re-add it. We have managed to get a test to print once only. Otherwise, the dialog box says it is printing but the data light on the printer does not flash as normal and nothing is printed and everything hangs this way. So we thought we could try adding it under the generic USB printer description but not sure how to fill in the "Device URI" window USB://_________. Can anyone help with this or do we have to go out and get a new laser printer ( my husband prefers it to the ink-jet for printing music scores ) Thanks for any help!

Never mind, I figured it out. Thanks anyway!

    How to add a wireless printer to airprint?

    Only the printer manufacturers can add AirPrint support to their printers via firmware updates. If your printer isn't listed on this page as supporting AirPrint, then does the manufacturer have their own app in the app store that supports it ? If not then there are third-party printer apps such a PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work with it.

  • How to add a Shared printer to solaris

    Hi,
    In a server, i am using solaris 10 x86.
    I want to add a shared printer which is attached in a windows xp PC.
    Can any one guide me , how to add a printer which is shared in a Windowx PC to My Solaris 10 X86 Machine.
    Thanks.
    Viraj

    Is it directly attached to the Windows PC (e.g. via USB?) Is it a laser printer?
    In Windows, you may need to add the additional components for Unix printing and TCP (or IPP) printing. You should then be able to share your printer as a as an LPD/LPR printer or an IPP printer. Then you could probably use lpadmin to add the printer was my_xp_box:printQname
    I have NOT used CUPS on a Solaris server myself - most of my printers are HP laser network printers that support LPR/LPD and port 9100 printing. but a quick google search will show that it is available for Solaris from the Solaris freeware companion CD. CUPS may make it easier to configure the solaris client. If you are dealing with an inkjet printer you probably will have to use cups to get the driver support.

  • How to add a new printer and laptop to my home network

    Greetings, Need tech help. I have 2 issues going on.
    First I am trying to add a 2nd Printer to my home network. I was given an HP 4050N printer. I want to add it to my home network. My main printer is an HP Photosmart 8450. It is attached to my desktop thro a Belkin USB 4 port switch and then to my Desktop PC via a USB port.  THe HP 4050N has both parrallel and serial connectors...no USB ports.  WHat is the recommended method to hook up. I also have an actiontec wireless router.  Initially I had 2 separate desktop units talking to my main printer, but noe the second desktop has it's own printer. 
    Second, I recently acquired an HP Elite Book 2540P laptop. I got it to power make my SOlidworks and Autocad software portable.  I would like to add this to my home network but dont know if wireless of serial hookup is the best way to go.
    I hope this makes sense.  I am open to reconfiguring everything if it makes sense.  My internet and TV are driven through the Action-tec router.
    I would appreciate some guidance.

  • How to setup a usb printer on the usb port of a network storage drive

    I have searched the forums and dont see any real info on this..
    I have  a usb based officejet 7590 , winxp, and a iomega home media network storage drive
    the printer works fine when I install it on the local usb port of the laptop
    BUT
    its not clear how to connect it ot the usb port of the network drive. 
    DO I have to resinstall it as a network printer?
    DO I have to resinstall device drivers if I already installed it as a usb printer for the local port?
    Can I use the scan/fax functions if I do it right?
    thx!

    OK, I will use it as a bookstand...    
    Since I obviously don't know enough about networks I will stay away from 'professional' products like the Cisco products.
    The user interface and the documentation of these products are clearly made by nerds for nerds...    
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to remove old USB printer drivers and ports from Windows XP and Windows 7

    We have several instances of HP 4250 Printers connected as local USB printers. When trying to replace this model with a HP P4015n or HP 600 M602n the new models will appear to install but won't print. No error messages but sometimes they try to install with ieee 1284.4 support which would seem to be a parallel port type. We're trying to use the HP UPD PCL 5.  I'm looking for a way to completely remove the old printer instances, drivers and ports. While the printer icons and drivers seem to be able to be deleted the USB printer ports can't be deleted. Then when I go back and try to install the new model printer it can only use he existing USB port. Again, when that happens the new printer won't print. So I'm trying to get a completely fresh start with the XP SP 3 and Win 7 OS before installing the newer models. I've tried several methods to clean the USB printers but the instructions are never detailed and most times something is missing and the OS needs to be reloaded. I thought that I would see if someone who knows HP USB printers has any ideas...

    These seem to be a commercial products. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
    You can find the Commercial Laserjet board here:

  • How to add visa usb support to the application builder?

    Is it possible to add VISA USB drivers to the application installer?

    I'm afraid you can't do that. The LabVIEW 7.0 application builder only supports adding the VISA serial port driver to the application builder installer.
    You will have to install the VISA support for USB separately by using the VISA 3.0 runtime installer.

  • Cannot add HP USB printer to 1 user on my computer

    I hooked up via USB an HP Photosmart C4480 to my iMac, which has a non-admin account (my daily account) and an admin account. The C4480 worked, but my non-admin account has lost touch w/it after I added a new ink cartridge this weekend. This is what happens:
    No apps in the non-admin account see the printer -- not Word, TextEdit, Safari, Mail. When I open Print & Fax in System Preferences, it shows no printer (while the admin account sees the printer and has it set as default). When I click the plus sign, the computer shows the "Photosmart C4400 series" as a USB printer in a new dialog box. I select that description, a box drops down telling me it is seeing whether it is configurable, and then after a few moments it disappears leaving the System Pref pane empty w/out explanation. My non-admin user account's Library folder has a printer queue named "HP Photosmart C4400 series" but when clicked it starts to open, then closes w/out doing anything. In my admin account, I can open this queue app and see that the printer is ready.
    When I could not get the non-admin account to work, I opened the admin account and used the HP uninstaller to remove C4400 software that came w/the printer on a CD. I then attached the printer and my iMac, running Snow Leopard, downloaded the HP drivers from Apple automatically -- all while signed in to the admin account. The admin account continues to function just fine and is even sharing the printer over WiFi w/my wife's Macbook.
    This has happened before w/this printer, and I reset the printing system. I figure I should reset again, but wanted to know whether I can do something to prevent my non-admin account from getting amnesia the next time.

    Try repairing permissions and then restart your computer.

  • HP Printer Control app offers only one of the printers on network. How to add a second printer.

    The original "eprint home and biz" recognized both printers on my network.  After upgrade, have lost one printer and see no way to add it.  HELP, please?!?

    Unfortunately the Printer Control app only supports printers manufactured from 2010+ that are ePrint capable. That is why it is not working with your 2710.
    And it looks like the HP ePrint app (formerly the ePrint Home& Biz app) has removed support for some of the older model printers with its most recent update.
