HP C3180 will not show up on printer list or set up assistant??

When I try to add my new HP C3180 all in one printer, it will not show up on the printer list, or in HP set up assistant, and searches for new drivers fails to bring up any printers. My G4 does not seem to recognize the C3180 printer. Looked for updates to software and there are none. HP says I have the latest software. Uninstalled, and reinstalled HP software several times, still will not show up on the add printer list so I am not able to configure it. Previous Deskjet 970CXI printer is also missing which is OK if C3180 would show up. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks.

If you are unable to print wirelessly, the comments below enabled me to print via my Airport Extreme. Just go to the "Print & Fax" system preferences, and 'add' a printer, then follow these instructions:
-You can print using bonjour in a roundabout way. Wireless printing will work if you select "hp photosmart p1000 g-print beta" in the printer browser under the "print using" option in the print and fax control panel. If you choose this option, the computer will think it's hooked up to a p1000. So it will work with airport express!
This advice was in the customer reviews section of the Apple Store for this printer, where a lot of people were complaining that they couldn't print wirelessly.

  • Bonjour printer not showing up in Printer List

    I am having trouble adding a bonjour printer (HP PSC 1610). The printer is not showing up in the list of printers under System Preferences > Print & Fax. I was able to add the printer by clicking on the "+" sign. It found the bonjour printer and I clicked "Add." Everything seemed fine, but the printer is not showing up in the list of available printers.
    When I'm in Printer Setup Utility, the Printer shows up when I click View > Show Printer List. I just can't select it when I'm in an application and trying to print.
    I can print to the printer from my G5 which still has OS 10.3.9.

    I think the reason you haven't got responses is that no one has experience with that. Here are some generic troubleshooting steps to try, one at a time:
    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.

  • Newly added printer is not showing up in printer list in Acrobat 11.0.3

    Hello,
    We are using Acrobat Pro 11.0.3. We recently added a new printer and that printer does not show up for one user of the machine in Acrobat. It shows up in other applications and under Printers. Other users who log into the machine can see the printer in Acrobat. I have uninstalled Acrobat, rebooted, reinstalled. I have also removed referenced to Adobe under HKEY_CURRENT_USER as well as APPDATA to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • My epson sx525wd printer will not install/add to printer list on osx lion

    I have recently installed osx lion on my macbook and imac and have had a few issues.  the most frustrating one is using a new printer i bought, Epson sx525wd which i bought several months ago but hadnt got round to playing with it yet.  Maybe my downfall in not installing on Snow Leopard prior to Lion intall.
    Anyhow, When trying to add the printer in the printer system preferences panel, both usb connected or wifi, the message that appears is, this printer software is available to download from apple wound you like to download it, i click yes and it says there is not software to download and then wont let me add the printer.
    So, i tried downloading the software/drivers and so on from epson, successfully and installed but add printer system preferences panel still asks me to download from software update and again says there isnt any software to download.
    So, i tried doing a software update from the apple icon, software update. again no software updates available.  Finally i found the CD installation disc that came with the printer thinking i had fool it.  to my disappointment i found that the installation software on the disc was not working and said i needed to install rosetta.  and to my further disappointment i discovered that lion has discontinued the use of rosetta.....?  is this true.
    I am unsure what to do...
    would it be safe to say that i might have to revert back to snow leopard to install the printer then upgrade to lion again?
    can anyone help or at least give suggestions?
    Many thanks
    Andy

    Delete the /Library/Printers/Epson folder. Then try installing the software that you downloaded again. If that doesn't help, you can try downloading the full package of Epson drivers from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900.
    It shouldn't be necessary to go back to SL and then to Lion to get this working.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipod Not Showing Up In The List In Itunes

    Hey, ive had problems with my ipod lately. basically when ever i plug my ipod into my computer, it appears in mycomputer and itunes also opens. i have run the diagnostic in the help menu in itunes and it is detecting my ipod HOWEVER it will not show up in the list on the right hand side!!!! I have tried all the things suggested by apple such as reinstalling and many other things like ending the process etc. no luck.. plz help!

    Have you tried simply resetting hte ipod while it's connected to the PC?
    If that doesn't help, here is an article with a long list of other stuff to investigate.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    You need to expand each link and read all the stuff. For example, under
    "Connect iPod to a high-powered USB port"
    the 4th line down says
    +If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.+
    That is a step you wouldn't want to skip, as it can really narrow things down.

    In the hour since you have registered you have posted seven messages, none of which contain any useful information that would allow someone here to help you.  Please read this post then provide some details in a new thread.  What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth?  What is the problem you are having (with the printer...)?

  • I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

    I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
    Can this be done
    Thanks for any and all help

    The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
    The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
    While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
    Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
    If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.
