Hp3420 + AirPort Bonjour = Error -9672, (on 10.4.8)

Hi all.
I have a hp deskjet 3420 printer connected to AirPort Express,
which was working fine on my G4 Mac mini a few month ago
(I think it had OSX 10.4.5 around that time)
I bought a new intel iMac expecting it to work just like it did, but for some reason it now gives "Error: -9672" when I click "Add" button from printer utility.
The printer itself is detected fine in the broweser, and
driver is automatically detected as "HP inkjet 3.3."
Annoyingly the same now happens on G4 mini too!
I haven't used the printer in a while but it has to do with something in the OSX update?
The printer still works from my wife's iBook G4 (10.4.6) and Windows XP, on real PC and on Parallels Virtual PC on my intel iMac! so I know it's not a hardware issue.
Does anybody have similar experiences?
It works fine if plugged to the iMac directly on USB,
as it should since it's supported by Tiger out of the box

thanks!

Do you have any software that might be causing this?
I just realised that I have Adobe Creative Suite2 with the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on both machines (iMac & Mac mini G4), but not on my wife's iBook (the one that's still working fine).
My friend's new MacBook also failed last night. Not sure what software was installed on it.
Why isn't Apple making list of error codes available?
That "-9672" must mean something for troubleshooting, yet only info I could find was this article which is hardly helpful.

Airport Express error 9672 on ip2200 printer

Hi folks,
Can't seem to get the ip2200 connected by USB to my Airport Express. I keep getting the error 9672 message, and I have tried following the manual, done an update on the Canon drivers, checked all the details on AE Admin, and they all seem hunky dory. When I go to connect the printer on Bonjour, this message keeps coming up. Can anyone assist me please.
Cheers
Kurt

BTW - everything else is working fine, internet and iTunes are working.

Error -9672 when adding an Epson 4800 via Airport Express & Bonjour

I cannot add my Epson 4800 via Printer Setup Utility connected via USB through an Airport Extreme. Windows PC's via Bonjour have no problem but my Mac is just not connecting. It correctly sees it via the add printer dialog and even recognizes it as a 4800 but when I go to add it I get the Error -9672.
Any ideas?

What is the printer make & model that you are connecting to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
You may want to double-check this iFelix site to see if it's compatible with the AEBSn.

Error -9672 when trying to add HP F380 as bonjour printer

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but it appears the HP F380 is not compatible with the newest Airport Extreme (with all the updates). After connecting it to the Airport the Printer Setup Utility can see the printer as a bonjour printer (good) but when I go to add it as a printer it fails with a -9672 error (bad). In the console the following error message is logged.
Error -9672, badly formatted ticket XML - Bad XMLStart:
Bad XMLEnd
HP says 'their printers may work, but the configuration is unsupported'. So I'm posting here in the hopes Apple will try and work around the issue in an Airport update.

I too had the same problem with my HP F380 Printer. There is a way to get it to print over AE, but it will no scan. Here are the steps, hope it helps.
1. Install Footmatic-Rip-3.34.2.15.ppc.dmg, espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg, hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg (all found at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs)
4. Go to Add printer.
5. Under "Print Using:" Select HP, then select HP DeskJet F300 Footmatic/hpijs (recommended).
6. Click Add
That's it.
Be sure to install the .dmg(s) in the order listed above, no big deal but hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg won't install without the other two.

Trying to add Canon MP500 printer via Bonjour; get Error -9672

I have my Airport Express hooked up to my Canon MP500 printer. My computer recognizes the Airport Express. I go to Print & Fax in System Preferences and try and add the printer via Bonjour - it stalls and then displays Error -9672. I have had this printer hooked up successfully before. Any suggestions? Thanks.

From HP Support
Reset the device when it is not functioning properly.
If the device is not functioning properly or to clear memory, reset it.
On the operator panel, press and hold the <ON/OFF> button for one second. (The display will go blank.)
Wait approximately ten seconds and then press the <ON/OFF> button again.
Wait until the device has completed its cycling process before submitting another job request.
A number of site online mention problems with different brand printers on intel macs. Some have correcedt the problem by downloading an older driver that that which came with the computer.

Getting Error -9672 on installing Canoan IP4300 Printer / Bonjour

Printer is connected to a ReadyNas NV+ server via USB and is provided to the Mac via Bonjour.
I can easily create a new printer, Mac OS even finds the printer driver - "Canon IJ Printer". But as soon I try to confirm it, I get the eroor "Beim Hinzufügen des ausgewählten Druckers ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Fehler: -9672"
This translates to something like "Error on adding new Printer. Error: -9672"
If I choose by hand the driver "Canon PIXMA iP4300 - Gutenprint v5.1.3" I'm abel to install the printer and use it for printing - BUT the quality of the printout is very miserable. If I print an image, it is almost complete black, its much, much to dark.
In the Consol Log Files the following error shows up:
06.01.08 23:54:08 [0x0-0x15015].com.apple.print.add[142] Error -9672, badly formatted ticket XML - Bad XMLStart:
06.01.08 23:54:08 [0x0-0x15015].com.apple.print.add[142] Bad XMLEnd
What's the problem here? Why cant the printer driver not be installed? Gutenprint drivers seems not a usabel replacement for the original Canon IJ Printer drivers.
Any help welcome, Max

As I wrote in my original posting, the Gutenprint Printer is working over Bonjour, but is only usable for text printing and not for image printing.
I understood you. However the driver should be giving you good quality printing of images. Since it is not, then I suggested you try deleting it and installing either the stable release (v5.0.2) or the new development release (v5.1.6) and see if that resolves the quality issue. Or, there is the PrintFab option which may also work correctly.
But the Canon BJ Drivers can not be installed using Bonjour, I get the 9672 error.
True again. You cannot use the Canon supplied drivers for network connections, other than Mac to Mac printer sharing or Airport connections.
Apple says Printer IP4300 is compatibel to Leopard
It is compatible, when connected directly to the Mac via USB or using Mac to Mac printer sharing or when connected via an Airport base station.
What I do not understand is, if I try to install the printer, the correct BJ Printer driver is selected automatically by the printer system settings - so the printer is detected correctly - the system chooses the BJ driver, not I'm doing this. But if I click OK, I get the error.
This does happen. The Canon printer driver is not designed to work with your setup, hence the error.
I do not know if it's Apples or Canons fault, but fact is, the printer is detected correctly an the correct driver is suggested by the system but can not be installed.
Yes, and this is due to the way Canon has designed the driver software so I believe it is Canon at fault. Note that they have some models of printer/driver that do work with your type of connection. But for your iP4300, the driver does not configure correctly after detecting the printer.
I also tried all the tips I found and you gave me too, deleting printer folder and reinstall latest driver from Canon, but with no luck at all. This is really annoing, and as much as I like my Mac (I'm a "switcher" I did not expect so simple stupid problems.
I understand your frustration. If Canon and other vendors put as much effort into writing their Mac drivers as well as they do for Windows, then using a Mac would be more enjoyable. There has been so many times when I have found a function that the Windows driver provides that does not exist with Mac. I would like to think it has nothing to do with Mac having such a small market share of the PC world, but you have to wonder?

Getting an Error:-9672 when trying to add printer through airport express

Hi everyone, I have a canon colour laser printer (LBP5000) works fine when I pop the usb straight in to the mac, but when I try setting it up by plugging the usb into my airport express I get an Error:-9672 this happens when setting up the printer in print & fax system prefs.
I have another printer set up on a different airport express, which works fine.... could this be a problem?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Lee

Hello Lee,
When you select the LBP5000 in the Printer Borwser > Default Browser view, the Print Using menu should automatically set. If it isn't, and you are having to manually set the printer, then that will be a likely cause for the error (which usually occurs when the wrong driver is selected).
Try turning off the Airport Express and the printer. After a few seconds turn the printer on first and after it finishes making it's warm up sounds, turn on the Express. Now try to add the printer via the Default Browser view.
If that doesn't help, check your Airport Express firmware version. Some previous postees have found that their problems are resolved by updating their firmware on their Airport Extreme/Express.
Regards,
Paul

Error:-9672. Epson R800 connected to AirPort Extreme.

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I can't add my Epson R800 as a printer when it is connected to my AirPort Extreme. I can by USB. When I attempt to add it I get an Error:-9672 prompt. I have searched for a remedy and reason but cannot find anything that solves the problem.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
Message was edited by Angus as he doesn't proof-read well.

Hopefully a photo print test using my X-rite ColorMunki profiles produces the amazing results I got with Leopard.
May I ask how went your attempt to print a photo using a custom profile? My R800 has performed perfectly when tasked with normal paper printing; but abysmally when charged with printing photo files ex-CS4 & Lightroom (far too dark & over-saturated). In fact this occurs with anything using the custom profiles which worked so well under Leopard. As a pro temp, I have resorted to the 'let printer manage' option, which whilst not so accurate, can be made reasonable with a +5 brightness, and -10 magenta correction in the colour control.
Clearly I would like to revert to programme managed printing as soon as possible. Hence my question.

Error -9672 when trying to connect Officejet 5510v USB printer

I have an HP Officejet 5510v printer connected to my airport extreme. My G4 Mini can connect and print fine. I have an Intel Powerbook that can see the printer listed as available under Bonjour, but I get a "Error -9672" problem connecting to selected printer message. It's using the HP version 3.3 all in one printer driver.

Forgot to mention this important difference between the working G4 Mini and the non-working Intel PB - The Mini is directly connected to the Airport by ethernet cable while the PB is wireless.

Error 9672 when trying to "re-add" HP Deskjet 3900 printer

Hi, I've seen the discussion about the Error 9672. But the answers don't really help. I get the same errormessage when trying to re-add the HP 3900 deskjet printer that I had to delete because it was not working properly. Now I just can't add it again... I can find it as an available Bonjour printer. But what can I do next? I haven't really been able to find out if this is a commonly known Apple bug, or if it is a bug that HP should be working to fix. Can anyone help? The printer works fine when connected directly via USB by the way.
iBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I found the same thing out yesterday and did the same solution.
One issue should be noted. The quality of the print is much worse since we are not using the correct print driver. Works fine for standard unimportant text printing, but really can't be used for printing photos.
Connect the printer directly to the computer USB and print a photograph using the real print driver, then connect wirelessly using the above method and print the same photo. The difference is dramatic.
It also seems to overuse black ink when hooked up through the Airport, and the printer light blinks for a while after printing is done.
Anyway, I plan on leaving it hooked up wirelessly for convenience sake, but when good quality is needed I will attach it directly to the USB port.
You can verify my findings and let others know if you find the same thing I found.
Good luck, and lets hope there are more compatible printers available in the future.

Error -9672 while trying to add printer

I had a printer connected via USB directly to my iMac 20 (OSX 10.4.11) that was working fine.
This morning, I moved the USB connection from the iMac 20 to the Airport base station so I could access and use the printer wirelessly from a MacBook Pro (OSX 10.5.6). The MacBook Pro sees and can send print jobs to the printer.
The iMac 20 can also see the printer It shows up in the Printer Browser list (with Bonjour as the Connection), but when I try to add it to the printer list in Print & Fax, I get "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error: -9672"
I can't get a clear explanation of what the error is, and all Apple support articles on getting things corrected have been unsuccessful.
I've tried everything I can think of...anyone got any ideas of what's going on here?

Dreaded error -9672

have set up home network using Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) with eMac and MacBook (Intel), both running OSX 10.4.11 and 2 printers: HP Laserjet 1022 and Canon Pixma iP4500, both connected via the USB slot on the AE. Able to print from both printers via MacBook, and Airport Utility shows both printers are connected via AEBS. Problem printing from eMac: although both printers are found in the Printer List (when using Printer Browser) whenever try to add them get the dreaded -9672 error. What needs to be done to resolve this? (am aware there is a long-standing problem resulting in these -9672 errors)

See the following for possible solution:
