How to make "Utility" button in Printer Setup Utility available

There, i add a printer in the Printer Setup Utility and select it. i want to open printer utility, but the "Utility"
button in Printer Setup Utility is dimmed. In addition,
"Printer\Configure printer" in the Printer Setup Utility menu is also dimmed.
How to make "Utility" button in Printer Setup Utility available?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jiong,
That button is to acess the printer utility for that particular printer, not all printers come with a utility. If you have the disk that came with your printer, you can see if it has a Macintosh driver, if it does then it mimght have the utility with it. It's pretty hard to run the utility on its own, its burried somewhere in the system so that's why you have that menu item. You can alternatively go on the internet and download the latest driver, which might have a utility. All the utility will do will give you options to check nozzle patterns, alighnement, ink tank levels, and cleaning options - just mimnor maintenence junk, non-essentials, etc. I think Tiger just comes with a whole heap of generic drivers for different printer lines, can't say for sure.
I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you have a relatively old printer.
Hope that helps
DKR

Printer setup utility not utilities folder OSX 10.7.5

Printer setup utility not in utilities folder. OSX 10.7.5 upgraded from 10.5.2. I do not have a 10.7.5 upgrade disc. How do I find or reinstall print setup Utility? Can I recover printer set utility using Time Machine? Thank you.

The Printer Setup Utility is part of the Print and Scan preference pane in System Preferences. When you open Print and Scan and select to add a printer by clicking the plus button, this opens the printer setup utility - although you don't see it named as such. The display just simply shows an Add Printer window with connection options of Default, Fax, IP and Windows.
I would guess that you are referring to some old documentation that is telling you to open Printer Setup Utility to add the printer. So this document just needs to be updated for newer versions of OS X.

Tiger/printer setup utility

How do you get the updated "printer setup Utility" from tiger??Having a herendous problem getting my Epson R1800 with firewire to show up in the setup utility, though it shows up in the Epson printer utility. Could it be a bad firewire cable? As I do not see anything under firewire in the system profiler or under Printer? My printer is unusable?

Have you selected the "More Printers" button within the Print Setup Utility? Epson has it's own USB printing compatibility section within the top pull down menu. It also has a Epson FireWire printer selection.

Printer setup utility crashes

I am running 10.4.8 on my iMac G5. Up until a few days ago I was successfully using two network printers that I have in my home. One is HP Photosmart 3310. Suddenly it stopped working, and I uninstalled and reinstalled and updated the software and drivers countless times. I kept getting a "printer not supported" message. Now when I try to install ANY printer I get the following message midway through the process in printer setup utility:
The application printer setup utility quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected
Click reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.
Can somebody help me please??

I think you left out some details-
The Photosmart 3310 is a USB printer, so to make it a network printer you are sharing it? From a Mac?
Here are some generic troubleshooting steps to try:
Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD, or start from the Install DVD to use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive.

Printer setup utility- driver not appearing in list

Hi - I have installed a Canon printer driver (latest version as I checked), restarted my new MacBook (with updated OSX) but the driver does not appear in the list when i try to set printer up. Printer is connected to USB. It is a Canon Pixus iP7500. Latest driver is 4.1.9 - I checked.
I think my question is - how do i get the driver to appear in the Utility's list?
Thanks.

For the Canon PIXMA drivers (or PIXUS in Japan), the Print Using menu is meant to automatically change to Canon IJ Printer when it detects the USB connected printer. If it doesn't change, you cannot manually browse to it like you can for other drivers.
Often the cause of the correct driver not being selected is that the software hasn't installed correctly. Following is some steps that I have used myself and offered to others that has resolved this problem.
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 (which you have).
8. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
9. Open Printer Setup Utility. If the printer is not already displayed, 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.
If the Canon IJ Printer doesn't appear automatically then please reply.

Printer Setup Utility not working and autostopping jobs for an HP

I have both an Epson Stylus R200 and an HP Photosmart 2570 series all-in-one. the epson prints fine, but the HP doesn't at all. it keeps stopping the jobs i send to the HP. The HP is also a scanner and i can do scans so i know its not a problem with the physical USB connection.
To attempt to fix this problem, i try to open the Printer Setup Utility. I've tried to open the utility 3 seperate ways. 1) from the menu item "utility" in th e HP printer dock item
2) from "Utilities/PRinter Setup Utility
3) from System Preferences "Printing/Faxing>setup printers"
still the utility appears to be running on my dock, and the menus on the top appear (Edit View Printers Windows Help) simply won't drop down and let me use the Utility.
is my Printer Setup Utility COrrupted? if so, where can i find a replacement download without reinstalling Panther?
i searched the apple downloads to no avail.
restarting now.
any help is appreciated. thanks
G3 minitower 370 MHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) [email protected]

thanks for your repsonse greg, however this is not resolved.
ok, i know ive got the 10.3.9 update installed successfully. in fact, i decided to reinstall OS X completely and update from there. this took much time. i backed up all system files manually and erase and installed OS X. i am having multiple problems still as a result, such as dreamweaver m not booting, but that goes beyond the scope of this help thread.
but, i can finally open the Printer Setup Utility. i did not find my old R200 drivers so I reinstalled the R200 driver. I also ran the HP all-in-one software. now, whats left to do is add these two printers in the utility.
When i select from the add printer dialogue, "EPSON USB" it find the R200 driver, then i try to select "add" and it gives me this error: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers successful-ok-conflicting-attributes"
when attempting to add the HP all in one to the utility, it won't even find the HP driver. Before i re-installed the HP all-in-one software, it had found it but gave me the exact same error as above. also in the add new printer dialogue the menu item that should say "USB" is just blank, and when i select what should say "usb" anyway, it.
i deleted two files in the Library/Preferences/ folder that started with com.apple.print they appeared to be default configuration files. after rebooting the utility, the same problem persists.
any other suggestions? now i can't print at ALL.

Printer Setup Utility always crashes- and am getting weird printer behavior

Just installed 10.5 on a fresh internal drive- machine is G5 2X2- settings imported from a 10.4 installation on another drive. Printer is a Brother HL-5170DN
If I try to print from any app, the app doesn't crash, as has been reported by others, but the printer behavior is strange. I added the printer from the Print and Fax control pane, which saw the printer and appeared to be happy. But when I try to print any test document, the printer starts printing an error message on every sheet in its tray, literally running through the whole stack and then complaining it's out of paper, even though the document to be printed was only one page. Have never seen anything like that. The error message printed on paper is: ERROR NAME; undefined COMMAND; y OPERAND STACK;
Cannot launch Printer Setup Utility- always crashes. Have tried reseting printer system and rebooting, but no luck. It seems to be complaining that a file called "_CPLPPDGetFileInfo" is missing. The error log when I try to launch Printer Setup Utility is:

Thanks for the helpful info. I had upgraded to Leopard using Archive & Install and had an alias to the Printer Setup Utility from Tiger, which I kept trying to use not realizing that this now pointed to the old version in the Previous Systems folder.
Now I've deleted the whole thing and will remember to use the System Preference panel to configure my printers.

Add (+) printer in Sys Prefs Print & Fax makes Print Setup Utility crash!

Something is wrong with System Preferences Print & Fax pane, or something else... From there, I can't add any new printers. When you click + below the list, it's supposed to launch printer setup utility? But it does nothing what so ever.. or that's what I thought until I looked in Console to see what's going on (if anything), and the console reports that the printer setup utility crashed. It launches fine directly from Utilities. What gives?
Here is the crashlog report, if anyone can make sense of it:

Printer Setup Utility Add Button NOT working

Whenever I press the ADD button in the printer setup utility, nothing happens. The butten darkens as I press it but, no dialog box appears to add a new printer. The system console shows the following:
2006-06-20 15:32:47.850 Printer Setup Utility[531] * -[FireWireBrowser startBrowsing]: selector not recognized [self = 0x594b0d0]
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Try downloading Pacifist http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6812 and put in your Tiger Install DVD. Then click "Open Apple Install Packages" (which will only work if you put in the install DVD). Then search the folders for Printer Setup Utility and click Install. I believe it is in one of the top folders. You may have to go a little deep, but it isn't too hard to find. Good luck!

C6180 does not appear in my list of printers in Printer setup utility (mac OS X 10.4.11)

My C6180 was printing slowly so I followed the steps in the forum (unplugging, holding down the buttons, etc. ... Shut down, restart, etc.) Now it doesn't appear in my list of available printers when I try to set up again in the Printer Setup Utility. My software is updated. How to I get it in the list. I've been around in circles and I may have messed up some settings in trying to solve this. I have to print stuff for work. Freaking out a little. Help.

Hello,
Thanks for the post. Murphy's Law, as soon as you really need to print something for work, this happens!! I've pasted a link below that should help you resolve this one. I hope this helps..........GOOD LUCK!

Printer Setup Utility lists no printers

Just upgraded to Panther. Printer setup utility shows no printers, but they're in Library folder. And utility can't/won't add them. What's the problem?

Welcome to the discussions.
When you Upgrade to any Operating System usually it will sometimes de activate a Printer you were using.
The reason is you have downloaded a brand new operating system.
When you do this you will often have to Trash what you have previously installed, plus going to your library and deleting everything that is related to your printer.
Restart your computer afterward.
Then you need to boot up in Panther and then put the Printer Disc in and make sure your Printer is plugged in and then Download your Printer from the Disc. After you do that it is a good idea to check your printers web site and make sure you have the latest updates for your printer and operating system.
When it downloads to your Desktop you must drag it to the Printer Folder and then double click the dowload to launch it.
Double clicking it on the desktop will not launch it in the proper folder.
Some printer upgrades will download to the printer utility folder and launch while others will not.
You don't tell what printer and how your hooked up so it;s hard to address your problem without all the detailed information.
The method I explain above I have used and works.
Cheers Don

HP Printer not appearing in Printer Setup Utility LIst

My HP Deskjet 6980 printer used to work fine when I first bought it. Then my laptop stopped bring able to connect to it. I contacted HP and they told me to remove the printer from the list and re-install the latest driver. I did that, and I also reset the printer setup utility preferences, but the printer never comes up. The printer does work. I printed out a few test pages from it while disconnected from the computer. How can I make the printer appear on the Setup utility list?

HP provides this troubleshooting tip.
From what I can determine the printer is an Ethernet printer. I assume you have it connected via an Ethernet cable either to your computer or a network router. You may need to add the printer as a TCP/IP printer using the IP Printer option in Printer Setup Utility. Consult the printer's manual for information on configuring the Ethernet settings. You probably should be able to configure the printer's Ethernet to use DHCP. Your Network preferences in System Preferences should also be configured to use DHCP.

Blinking Printers in Printer Setup Utility

Hello - Let me start by saying I am no Mac expert at all. I am the network admin for my company but only support two Macs and thus do not have much interaction with them but I am tech savy.
We have one of our Adv department living remote in a different state. Suddenly yesterday, when she went to print, she was given an error that there was no printer selected. Her only option was to install a new printer. This is strange because she has two network printers (one wireless and one by network cable through a small switch) and has Adobe Acrobat 7 so should also have the Adobe Printer available.
I had her go into the Printer Setup Utility through Apple->System Preferances->Printers. There she sees her three printers but they are all blinking on and off. What I mean by that is, the three are there, then gone, then there, then gone. She said they are not graying out but actually disappearing. She is unable to select them to delete them.
We have tried setting up a new printer but it does not detect the printers. I have had her power off both the physical printers to see if some type of network issue was causing the problem but the blinking continues.
I did have her try booting in "Safe Mode" which I understand does some system repair but after that was done and a reboot, the problem persists.
Does anyone have any ideas for this issue. Of course of all days, she needs to get a project printed to PDF by the end of the day for our printer to meet the deadline.
I would be very greatful for any ideas or help!
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello All,
She was able to get the catalog out via an export to PDF option in Quark. Unfortunately the files turn out to be about 25MB per page that way and she had to upload over 600MB via her DSL connection. But it got done.
Now the problem still persists. I have some new info from working on the problem.
We were able to get the blinking to stop by selecting the check box to share the printer from within the Printer Setup Utility. This allowed us to click on the Delete button but we receive an error saying "Server error service unavailable". We are also getting the same error we when try to add a printer.
Doing some searching, I found that that points to the problem being related to the cups printing system in Mac OS X. I did the fix listed in this article twice
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107054
describing how to reset the printing system in OS 10.3 but it did not help.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Daniel

No IP Printer option in Printer Setup Utility

Hey-
Trying to add a print server and instructions say I need to add it as an IP printer. I go into:
- printer and fax settings
- add printer and there is no IP printer option. There is HP IP printing and epson TCP/IP but no IP printer option.
I have mac intell running 10.4. Where can I find IP printer option and how can I install?

If you open System Preferences > Print & Fax and click the + button, the Printer Browser from the Printer Setup Utility will appear. The Printer Browser has two options appearing at the top of this pane, Default Browser and IP Printer. This would be what the instructions were referring to. Under IP Printer, you have three default protocol options, LPD, IPP and HP Jet Direct (which is port 9100 printing). So it will be one of these three protocols you will be expected to use.

Yet another freaky printing problem: 10.3.8 and Printer Setup Utility

I'm hoping some really smart people can help me out here -- I'm not as good at Mac troubleshooting as I need to be!
I purchased Tiger a few weeks ago and the upgrade went fine and I was able to print, but then suddenly I can't any more. I have a PowerBook G4, running 10.3.8 and a HP 2710xi, which is a wireless printer (not sure of the proper term for this).
The symptoms: iCal crashes when I hit cmd-P. Other programs also crash upon printing. Some programs will bring up the print dialog, but it freezes up at that point. I tried printing to a PDF in Microsoft Word, and that crashed it. This problem persists in other user accounts.
Additional problem: Printer Setup Utility crashes whenever I hit the "add" button to add a printer. I have the crash reporter information if anyone wants it. Can't add any printer at this point.
What I've tried: I uninstalled the old software from HP and reinstalled new software. The HP installer can't finish running since it gets hung up by the Printer Setup Utility. I installed print-only drivers from HP. Same problem. I tried plugging the printer in to the USB to see if that makes a difference. Same problem.
Printer Setup Utility is recognizing my printer in all forms: as USB, Bonjour, and HP IP Printing. I just can't add it due to the program crashing.
Further troubleshooting: I ran all the maintenance and permissions repairs in Onyx. I used most of the diagnostic and repair tools in Printer Setup Repair, including Reset the printing system and deleting printer preferences. I reinstalled the 10.3.8 update from Apple's website.
I'm not sure what my next step should be: Do I reinstall the whole operating system? From my review of this board, lots of other people are having problems with Printer Setup Utility in Tiger.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

Have you tried starting up with the Install DVD, and then using Disk Utility (in the menus at the top, NOT in the installer) to repair the hard drive?
If you're going to show us any errors, use the Console to look at cups error log. Paste any line that starts with E, plus the 3 lines before it (they tell you what was happening).
If none of this is fruitful, yes, reinstalling is the next step.
