Have you repaired permissions and restarted your computer after installing ML? Checked your printer settings in System Preferences?
If Software Update does not list any updated drivers for your model printer, you should go to the printer's manufacturer website and download the drivers from there and/or contact their tech support to determine if your printer is compatible w/ML.
Read the various Knowledge Base ML printing articles. Here are a few to get you started:
OS X Mountain Lion: If the software for your printer can’t be found
OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot a USB printer
OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot an AirPort printer
If none of the above work, post back w/the model of your printer and how it's connected to your computer. USB? Wireless?

How can I sync my mail folders from my iMac and MacBook Air

I recently bought the new iMac and MacBook Air. I would like to access my emails on both computers. I have folders that sort my mail on both computers but cannot access them on the other computer. Thanks for your help!

What kind of email account do you have? (Who is it with?) The easiest way to do what you want is with an IMAP account, which actually stores folders on the email server, allowing any computer or device to see them. You cannot do the same with the older POP email accounts. Check whether your email provider offers IMAP.

How to share personal files from the iMac to MacBook Pro

How do I share files from the iMac so I don't have to keep on sending it to the MacBook Pro. Under the iMac's system preferences, I clicked on sharing and enabled personal file sharing. When I connect to the iMac's server using the MacBook Pro, I try to log in but it says my log in info is unknown. So I try loging in as a guest but when I click on the drop box, it says that I don't have the privilegde to view it. Is there another easier way of file sharing between the computers I have at home?

When you log into the server computer you need to use the username and password of an account that exists on the server computer.

Migration plan from 2007 iMac to MacBook Air

I'm looking to migrate from a 2007 iMac to a 2013 MacBook Air and have a recent wireless AC TimeCapsule that's presently backing up both Macs wirelessly. I also have an older wireless N TimeCapsule that's in the closet and a new external storage drive. My iMac has something like 400 GB of stuff on it and the new Air has a 128 SSD.
It's my understanding that you can't run two TimeCapsules at once, so my plan was to turn off the newer TimeCapsule, then plug in the old TC with a cable and do a final backup before I migrate. I'll put the old TC back in the closet, just in case I ever want to pull things out from around the date of migration. I'll then use migration assistant to transfer from the iMac to the new external HD that will be connected to the Air.
I haven't done any of this yet, so there's no actual problem, I just wanted to see if there were any problems with what I planned to do.

How do I go about using migration assistant to transfer my files from an iMac to an external, connected by USB, hard drive
This willl make a cloned copy of your iMac system disk to the external HD.
Use Disk Utility to format the external HD Mac OS Extended (journaled).
Boot from the Recovery Partition (Boot Command-R).
Disk Utility > Restore
> Source: Your iMac system disk.
> Destiation: The external HD.
> Restore
Then when you use Migration Assistant on the MBA, point it to the external HD.

How do I get my itunes library from my imac to macbook air

Mac's make many things really easy to manage. So, why is it so difficult to work out how to get itunes onto macbook air from iMac

You move the iTunes folder of the Music item in the Finder's sidebar as you would any other. This won't transfer rented movies or iTunes Store authorization.

Can you load Creative Suite software from your iMac to macbook air

Tried loading my Creative Suite software to my MacBook Air and says issue with serial numbers. 1 user, 2 computers...can you do that?

You should not be trying to transfer from one machine to another if that is what you are doing (your posting title makes it sound that way). Use installation files and make sure the serial numbers agree with what your Adobe account lists for it.
A single user license allows you to have two activated installations. As long as the two machines meet the system requirements for the software you should be able to install and activate on both.

Keynote slides shrunk after moving from iMac to MacBook Air

After moving a Keynote (6.5.3) presentation from my iMac to MacBook Air, the slides have shrunk WAY down. Check out this image. Any thoughts on why this should happen?

Here you go, it's just an option you need to turn on

I love Lion, it's been problem free and it has so many useful features (Air Drop for one, multi screen on the MBA for another). I think as with all things that sell on the scale Lion has, some people will always be disappointed and some will always have problems. I am happy to say neither were issues for me and I wouldn't go back to SL now.

How can I share the DVD on my iMac with a PC ?

I have a tablet PC with no DVD and I would like to share the DVD on my iMac with the tablet PC. I have configured everything to "see" my PC from my iMac and my iMac to my PC, and I can see the shared folders, but there is no way of seeing the DVD in my iMac from the PC. I have turned on "DVD sharing" in my System Preferences. Does anybody has any clue about what I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help
Joan

Thanks very much for your suggestion, but in the summary at the top of the page you mention we can read:
"You can use a DVD or CD via another computer's optical drive by enabling DVD or CD sharing. You might want to do this if your Apple computer did not come with an optical drive and if you don't have an external Apple USB SuperDrive."
Thus, I understand that the procedure explained there is to share a DVD on a PC with a Mac, but I want to do the oposite : to share a Mac DVD with a PC....
I have read somewhere that Mac DVDs are not intended to be shared with Windows machines, but I have got no "official" (that is, Apple endorsed) confirmation of this...
