HP PSC 2170 driver in Print & Faxing list

Hello, I have an HP PSC 2170 All in One printer. I cannot locate the drivers when I try to install the printer as an IP Printer. If I discover it manually as an IP Printer (put in the IP Address) the printer and drivers are found but the print jobs always stall.
1. When installing this printer, why do I not see the HP PSC 2170 under the "Print Using" pull down?
2. How do I ensure the driver, which I have downloaded and executed from HP, will show up in this list?
This has to do with getting the Mac Book to connect to the Linksys Wireless Print Server.
Thank you,

There are two types of print driver on OS X - Carbon and CUPS. In the Carbon type, the manufacturer(writer) gets to program in the exact comm protocol that the driver works with. The Carbon driver from HP is for direct USB only. To use the standard network protocols provided by CUPS, you need to use a CUPS driver. Find a third-party CUPS driver for your model here:

(It should be either hpijs or Gutenprint)

Can't print to printer in list

I'm running Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro, and I have added my printer to the print&fax list from system settings, but when I try to print to it from an application, the printer does not show up in the list. Other printers at my school work fine. Any idea how I can get my home printer to show up?

Once you add a printer to the Print & Scan pane then it should be available for all applications.
Is the printer connected directly to the Mac via USB cable or is it networked? If the latter, when you select to print from an application, from the print dialog if you open the Print drop menu it will show the locally installed printers but also other printers seen on your network. So if the printer is not showing as being locally installed, then does it show as being on your network?

Install print driver in 10.4, and make it show on the print drivers list.

Hi,
I can't seem to install my Canon print driver, and make it show on the print drivers list. I have a Canon MP180 as a network printer on a Windows Computer, and it requires special printing drivers, not the OSX bundled ones. Without it, I can't print to it. Even with the driver installed, I can't see it on the list of drivers.
Any help is appreciated.

1. Bonjour for Windows is installed and configured properly, although it will not install or see an HP driver for the HP Photosmart C3100 printer. The only drivers the PC sees are Generic PCL and Generic Postscript. Bonjour for Windows "sees" the Photosmart printer, plugged into the Mac.
2. I don't believe the Mac's firewall is on. I'm using a SonicWall firewall appliance between our home network and the Internet.
3. Printer sharing on the PC -- as I'm sure you know -- isn't configured as it is on the Mac. There is an option to share the HP Photosmart on the PC (if the printer were plugged directly into the PC), but that is disabled. Printer sharing cannot be configured for the instance of the HP Photosmart that was installed by Bonjour for Windows.

Hp Laserjet P1102w Doesn't show up in Print and Fax list OS 10.5.8

Got an HP Laserjet 1102w and tried to install under Mac OS 10.5.8. I downloaded and sucessfully ran the HP drivers but when I go to add the printer under system preferences/printers and fax the list of available printers is blank. I've tried several routines suggested by a web search of the problem to no effect.
Anybody out there solved this?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks for your attention. I figured out the solution. See below.
The printer was connected by USB and I was also trying to get the wireless connection set. I had intermittent progress on both fronts but could not get a successful installation either as a USB connection or wireless connection. The printer would "disappear" off the list of available printers (using the "+" to add printer, OS 10.6.8) or not respond to setup commands. And I could not get the printer's wireless connection to my network to "take".
Printing the configuration page was of no use. If the printer is unable to connect to the wireless network it reports the printer IP address as 0.0.0.0.
TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
         (clicking + under "Print & Fax" the printer does not appear or the printer name disappears)
1) replace the USB cable - the original was susceptible to cutting out;
2) give up on wireless - to - wireless set up methods - no amount of factory resetting would clear the mystery connection block;
3) set up the wireless connection by way of a (good) USB cable;
3) switch the browser used to view the printer's setup page from Firefox (34.0.5 for Mac OS 10.6.8) to Safari
4) use WPA security mode (not WEP as suggested by HP's help files).
The primary troublemaker was the bad USB cable. Going thru a wireless set up presumes that the printer can connect to the network. As already noted, the wireless connection was not working. The blue network light would not come up steady. Some transmission option was blocking sucessfull handshaking between the printer and my wireless router. I tried the recommended factory reset methods without success.
I needed a good USB connection to get to the printer's setup options.
Don't know what was up with Firefox - a bad plugin or something? It just would not connect to the printer via IP addressing. Safari worked fine. (Now the printer is successfully setup Firefox has decided to work too.)
SO THE SOLUTION IS:
      1) connect the printer and Mac via a (good) USB cable;
      1) use Safari to get in to the printer's setup functions (via system preferences/print & fax/options & supplies/show printer web page);
      2) follow the recommended setup options (HP support for Laserjet P1102w, OS 10.6, using a USB cable to set up a wireless connection);
      3) select the proper wireless network from the list;
      4) reset the security mode to WPA; and
      5) give the printer the correct wireless network password.
Thank-you, and the forum, for your help.

I am looking for a Mac driver for a Muratec MFX 1430 printer/fax/copier. Is there one out there for a Mac?

Looking for a Mac driver for a Muratec MFX-1430 printer/fax/copier
is there such an animal out there?

http://www.muratec.com/new/support/drivers.asp does not appear to support that model at all on the Mac.
Some open source drivers* may exist to support it.
* Links to my pages may give me compensation.

In printer drop down menu, my default printer is listed, but when I click on it it goes to first item listed in box(fax).

I am using windows 7 ultimate. I am on the latest firefox release.
When I want to print, the drop down window opens with "fax" listed. I scroll down to my printer, I click on it, but immediately reverts to the "fax" option. It will not hold my printer.

Try to reset the print prefs on the about:config page.

Install canon printer on macbook air? I've got as far as add printer - the printer name appears as the software is installed but when I go to choose a driver, mine isn't listed - where is it? what do I do? Tearing hair out...

Thanks for telling us the printer model. You are right - it isn't in the software available for auto-download from Apple servers.
Are you using the version 3.66 CAPT driver released in Jun 2014?
Get it from:
http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i- SENSYS_LBP5000.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:13-920158&os=OS%20X%20v10 .9&language=
It is a disk image (.dmg) file. You must double-click to "mount" the disk image, then install using the installer inside that.
Please let us know if that helps. There are more thing to try.

HP Laserjet 4100N - Cannot Load Driver or Print

My Laserjet 4100N is on our LAN. We have never had any problems with it at all.
We installed Snow Leopard yesterday.
We now cannot get any of our Macs to print.
The only "driver" loaded: "ADOBE PDF 9.0-1"
When in the "Print & Fax" control panel, we try to add a printer, the "default" appears, which is "Adobe PDF 9.0-1."
When we try to choose "other" a list of drivers comes up. We select the proper driver, but nothing works.
The printer is configured for DHCP.
We do not understand the "IP" option at all.
The entire print & fax interface presents a cryptic mystery to the user, a la Windows. 10.5 was far better.
We are at a loss as to what to do.

Thank you, though this does seem a step backwards for Apple.
I mean, maybe they should have done away with Appletalk, I don't know, but I found nothing anywhere that told me that or that explained what any of the terminology in the "IP" printer setup meant, etc.
Also, my router currently assigns an IP address to the Printer via DHCP, which I've always found convenient. I guess that's all over with. Will Apple publish something that helps us non-techies through the process for each printer on a LAN?
Seems very Microsoft to me.

Keep losing my print driver and printer quits working

Have no idea what's going on. Recently, I can't keep my printer workng. It worked fine since I got it approx 1 year ago. It's a Canon Imageclass D400 Series combined printer, copier, fax and scanner.
Now after I reboot both sometimes it will work, but only one time. The next time it won't work again. Sometimes, I reboot both and it still won't recognize the printer. I'm dumbfounded as to what's going on. I put in the CD to reinstall the driver but it says that I can't reinstall it because it's already installed. In System Prefs I go to print and try the utility but it doesn't recognize it. I can't figure out how to delete the previous driver and do a reinstall, can anyone tell me how to delete the old one? Or, if anyone knows what the problem is, it would be greatly appreciated if you could help...it's driving (no pun intended) me crazy.
Thanks,
Jim

Just found this, you might want to try it. It worked for me.

To use the Reset Printing System feature in Mac OS X 10.5.x, follow these steps:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Print & Fax from the View menu.
Control-click on list of printers on the left side of the window, then choose "Reset printing system" from the contextual menu. If you don't see a list of printers, Control-click on the text "Click + to add a printer or fax" and select "Reset printing system..."

No Printer Job List and No AutoQuit

I have a Canon i70 printer. When I print a document the Canon i70 application automatically opens on my computer. However, when the job finishes, the application does not automatically quit as it used to in previous versions of OS X. The other problem is that be default the job list does not show up in the printer application. So, it's sort of the worst of both worlds. The printer application is open, but doesn't have any information there. To get the job list I have to open System Preferences and double-click on the printer, and then the job list opens in the Canon i70 application. Does anyone know how to change either of these settings (i.e. to get the job list to show by default and to get the printer application to quit automatically after a successful print)? They're both pretty irritating.
Thanks.

Sorry for the previous replies. Now that you have clarified your issue I can understand what you are experiencing. For the record, I have never had this symptom on any Mac and hence my confusion with what you were seeing.
Whenever I print, the printer queue for that printer appears in the Dock, and if I click on it before it quits I see a pane that provides the ability to Delete, Hold and Pause a print job for that print queue.
If you are not getting the same then I suggest you try resetting the printing system, which will require you to add the print queues again.
To reset the printing system, open Print & Fax and move your mouse over the Printers list. Then hold down the Control button and click your mouse. When reset printing system appears, let go of the Control button and click the reset text. This will remove all printer queues but not the associated driver files. So, if you unplug the i70 USB and reconnect, the printer should automatically appear back in the Printers list.

System Preferences hangs at "Loading Print & Fax..."

Hi,
I tried to load a Canon printer driver for the ir1023. After the install it required a restart. The Mac Pro never fully turned off, so I was stuck having to do a manual shut down with the power button. I am sure this messed everything up.
When I logged back on System Preferences hangs at "Loading Print & Fax..." when I click the icon. So I deleted the printing preferences, from my preferences folder and still nothing.
I ran the canon installer and that ran successfully, but did not remedy the problem. No Mac programs will print, Photoshop will not launch and Text Edit won't quit.
I ran Disk permissions from the Leopard disk, still no improvement.
Any ideas on how to fix my printing woes without a reinstall?
And I was having some hardware issues with my Time Machine drive - so I had no backup to fall back on.
Thanks!

I would run the UFR2 driver installer again, but when it shows Easy Install at the Installation Type pane, change the menu to Uninstall. This should remove all the UFR2 files, most of which are copied to ./Library/Printers/Canon/UFR2.
With the Canon files removed, try to open the Print & Fax pane again. If it still fails to load, you could try opening the CUPS web page (http://127.0.0.1:631). From here you can select the printer list and job list and possibly remove any existing printers or jobs that are in the system. Ideally we would like to reset the printing system, but I don't think we can do this from the web page or from Terminal - we need the GUI of Print & Fax.
Will do some more reading and get back to you....

I want to fax from my mac using a Brother MFC-7220 Printer/fax

I'm currently using a Brother MFC-7220 Printer/Fax machine with my Mac Mini, attached via USB.
It works great as a printer, but I want to fax from within Mac Applications using the 7220.
I tried going "File/Print, then selecting the PDF pull down menu in the lower left corner of the print management window. I selected "Fax PDF..." but the system comes back with a "No Fax Modems Found.." message.
Any suggestions/solutions ?
Thanks

You may need to install the Brother drivers.
By default, Mac OS X only installs the printer drivers, ignoring other features of multi-function devices. By installing the vendor's driver you gain access to the other features.
In this case you should find that installing the driver enables a new printer option - Brother MFC-7220 (Fax) - which can be used to send your fax. So now faxing is as simple as choosing 'Print' and selecting the 'Fax' option from the list of available printers.

Is there a way the "i" can be forced on all songs in your list that are broken, then print a list of every song? thx

I posted a similar question about a half hour ago, but I have no idea where it went. Sorry for the redundancy.
Hopefully the title says it all. Without clicking on each darn song I would like EVERY song in my library to show the "i" exclamation mark, and then I would like to be able to print a list of all my songs so I can figure out which I need to re-install. I lost connection to a bunch of songs after a Windows 7 update.
Thank you,

Your other post is here.
This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
If you just want a list of what is currently broken use this technique...
Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.

How do I view my subfolders so I can print a list of my directory (main folders and internal subfolders) without clicking the triangle to expand each main folder?

In VIEWING (to print) my iTunes music (in finder), how can i view subfolders without clicking on the triangle of each main folder?
I am trying to print a list of all my music. For example, main folder is BEATLES. Subfolders are Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, etc...
and I want to view and print all the subfolders. This is a recovery project after my hard drive failed. I know this is truly a "finder" question and will double post there.
Thanks.
