Installing print driver

i am struggling to try and load my print driver on the MAC side of my macbook. I want to print to my printer on my home LAN and have downloaded the HP MAC installer but it keeps looking for a connection on my network at the office vs at home. What do i need to do

Is your computer set to your home network? Sounds like somewhere you have the settings going to your work network. Are you trying to do this wired or wireless? How is the printer connected to the network, is it wireless?

    Hi Ray,
    On current situation, please refer to the following KB and check if set
    Point and Print Restrictions policy to Disabled. Then monitor the result.

    In addition, I noticed that there was a thread which you created one year ago. It seems to be similar with
    current issue. However, please have a look.

    Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the current incarnation of Snow Leopard, and fixes various issues in earlier releases.
    Current versions of Mac OS X 10.6 include the necessary printer driver for the Brother DCP-7030 printer (HT3669).  (The asterisk footnote on that printer indicates there was a recent update via Software Update, so get to current 10.6.8 and ensure the Brother printer software update has been selected and loaded.)
    If you're on the current Mac OS X version and if have the Brother update loaded (from Apple) and if problems with the printer persist, then remove the printer from your current Mac OS X configuraton, and re-add it, and see if that clears the particular issue(s) you're having with this printer.
    From experience, the Brother software for Mac OS X is a little odd, and the older software stuff (and particularly around the scanner controls for their multi-function series) were, um, unusual, and a little unstable.  Printing generally worked fine, though.  Recent versions of the Brother software are working better including for the scaller, but the UIs and the set-up are both still odd.  If you're using the box as a printer (I haven't looked at the DCP-7030 features), then you're best using the Brother software that arrives from Apple and not the software from Brother.
    Also ensure the printer firmware is current.  That's corrected some odd behavior on some Brother printers.

  • How to delete an installed printer driver on imac

  • Windows update error 800f0246 when installing printer driver

    I have Win 7 pro 64 bit and an HP3520 printer.  HP site says a Windows 7 driver is available via windows update.  When I go into Windows update, the drivers shows up under optional downloads.  When I try to download and install it it fails with error code 800f0246.  All other updates install fine.  I tried multiple times with the same error. 
    When I go into device manager the printer is listed under other devices with an icon indicating a driver issue.  When I try to update the driver it finds the downloaded driver that Windows update downloaded.  I select it and it fails.
    I have Windows 7 beta still on my laptop and the printer driver installs from windows update just fine.
    Any ideas?

    No go.  Uninstalled, rebooted, tried to reinstall again, still failed.  Fails when the printer is disconnected as well.  The HP site does not have a driver for manual install.  Any links for a driver lead to here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01874792&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=305968    Those steps do not work because the driver in windows update fails to install.

  • Cannot install printer driver powerpc no longer supported, but works on older mac

    Since I use the same driver on an old Mac Book Air, which had a Lion upgrade put on it, whats the problem?
    Yes I have a Dell 3115cn printer, which I use on PC's and My Mac Book Air.  The Air was upgraded to Lion and works fine with this printer... All is well
    So I buy another MAC Book air, which has Lion pre installed on it.  Used migration assistant to copy Mac, but failed.  Could not log into main user, FileVault problem.  So start with a new user on  new mac.  Shame.
    So I go to install the DELL 3115cn driver and I get the message "You can't open the application Dell 3115cn Installer because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".  Which I under stand what it means, but the same driver works fine on the other Lion machine.
    Does anyone know if I can by pass this validation?    surly the message is completely wrong, else it would not work on my older mac (with lion installed)
    May be only the installer is PowerPC stuff.  In which case does anyone know how to copy the Printer driver of the older mac.  Is that possible?

    Hello,
    the problem is not the printer driver that does not work in Lion, the problem is the installer application which seems to be a PPC based application.
    Eventually you may just copy the DELL printer driver itself from the working Air to the system in question.
    You will find the appropriate folder (Printers) either in the user's Library or the systems library, depending of the former DELL installation method of the driver.
    There will be a subfolder named DELL
    As both library's are hidden in Lion you have to use "go to" -> "go to folder" from the menue bar to access the library's.

  • 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.

  • Installing printer driver in Classic when ibook won't boot from OS 9-help!

    Hi all. Thanks in advance for reading. I posted this in the ibook section but upon doing more searching, I think this forum is the better one. Hope that's okay to do.
    I am trying to print an old financial file for tax purposes from Classic. No print drivers are installed in the OS 9 environment (chooser only shows default OS 9 apple printers).
    I tried adding a printer in OS 9 through the chooser and my network printer did not show up. Support site at apple advised an install of the driver in OS 9.
    When I try to install an HP print driver in OS 9 (already installed in X), I am flummoxed because I can't get my ibook 12" to startup in OS9 (it's not an option in startup disk and the Apple support site tells me that my newer computer can't startup in OS 9).
    I've tried to install in the Classic environment without booting from it. When I am running Classic and I insert the disk with printer drivers, it's only seen by the OS X environment. When I start the installer, the only option is on my hard drive as viewed by OS X.
    Other than laying out bucks to purchase a new version of Quick Books (just to print out old documents), how can I enable printing from Classic? Is there a roundabout way to install the printer drivers? HP site offered no real help. Thanks for any assitance. Lori
    ibook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   HP Photosmart 2710

    Hi John,
    Thanks for your suggestion. There is only one HP installer. It must be a smart installer since it can work for OS 9 or X. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to make it "dumb" again.....selecting a custom install doesn't allow me to choose operating system or destination for install. Any other ideas? Thanks.

  • Epson R1800 - installing printer driver ??

    I have a MacBook (10.4.7) connected to an Epson R1800 printer via USB. Prior to upgrading to 10.4.8, the printer worked fine. However, OSX 10.4.8 proved to be a catastrophe and I had to revert to 10.4.5 and then upgrade progressively to 10.4.7 (repairing privileges and rebooting at every step of the way).
    I installed the new Intel version of the R1800 driver downloaded from Epson, but the driver does not appear on the MacBook, even after repairing privileges. I cannot see the driver in the printer setup utility.
    I am having to create PDF versions of my work, transfer them to an ageing G4 (also under 10.4.7) in order to print - no problem with printer drivers on the G4.
    My suspicion is that the delta 10.4.8 upgrade is at the origin of the problem. I had the dead, grey "kernel problem" screen like many many other people. I have never had an upgrade problem before. This upgrade was downloaded automatically via software upgrade with no warning that it could cause big, big problems...
    Any help you can give would be very much appreciated.
    MacBookPro + G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Corporate communication/design
    MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I found the solution! When installing the Epson printer driver, there is a drop-down menu "install/uninstall". Select "uninstall" to remove all trace of any Epson R1800 printer-related files on the disk. Then reinstall the driver. After that, there is no problem selecting the printer.
    Sounds obvious, but in the heat of the moment, the obvious is not always that clear!

  • Can't install printer driver for Epson Workforce 845 on Lion

    I can't seem install the printer driver for the Epson Workforce 845 on my MacBookPro running OS 7.2.
    I installed the software from Epson but the printer installer can't find it.

    I just finished installing an Epson Workforce 545 on Lion.  This info is valid as of early March 2012. The trick seems to be this: DON'T install using the CD that comes with the printer.  DON'T download the driver from Epson.
    First do an Apple Software Update to make sure the machine is up-to-date.  Then simply open the Printer & Scan preferences and add the Epson printer.  It will download the driver directly from Apple and you will be good to go.  If you do install the bad drivers from Epson, you have to remove the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder and also anything EPSON in the Cache folder, then start over.

  • Can not install printer driver

    I purchased a Canon Pixma MG5350 and try to install the driver but this message appears on my screen: The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/hpPlugInInit.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.
    It is the latest one and there are no more updates on this driver. What should I do?

    Thank you sberman for your answer. I have tried it but it doesn't work. I just deleted the plugin and everything that had to do with HP, emptied my trash and rebooted my mac and the driver was correctly installed, finally! Now I have another problem though. I can not add the printer to the laptop via System Preferences > Print & Scan and it does not even show in System Information > Usb that I am connected to the printer. The printer comes without a USB cable so I bought one yesterday and think that is the problem.

  • Problem in installing printer driver!

    Hi, I have MacBook Pro using os x 10.6.7 I have an issue installing the driver of my new printer Samsung CLX 3185 always gave me an error! local apple support told me that mac os x is having problems with USB printers! please help. thanks

    try uninstalling all the drivers you just installed for your printer and plug in your printer and run software update from the  on the upper left of the screen. if there are no drivers available for that, you might have to wait as suggested by your local apple tech.

  • When install printer driver via Bonjour, what information OS/CUPS communicate with printer firmware to auto-detect and find correct PPD to install?

    Hi guys,
    We are developing printer driver/firmware for Mac OS X 10.5 and up. Right now we have problem that  printer firmware fail to be auto detected by Mac OS 10.5 during installation via Bonjour. Could anyone teach me how the communication works between OS/CUPS and printer F/W during the installation via Bonjour? What kind information the two sides exchange?
    Any input will be appreciated!

    Sorry for the incorrect information. The OS should be Mac OS X 10.4 instead of 10.5
