Lexmark Driver For C540 doesn't Print

Since OS 8 was released my Lexmark C540 printer doesn't print. I'm using the new driver, 11 and while I can get to the printer home page and print the color sample. After printing the samples then anything in the queue prints. I can't see myself prining 12 pages of color samples in order to print a 1 page document.

Thanks for the suggestion to check privileges, but that's the problem--the driver is not present to have any privileges to check. On reboot, there are only links (all owned by root with 777 perm.) at /dev which lead to non-existent directories.
#/dev> ls -l gpib*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 43 Apr 18 09:50 gpib -> ../devices/pci@1f,4000/NATI,pci-gpib@2:gpib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 44 Apr 18 09:50 gpib0 -> ../devices/pci@1f,4000/NATI,pci-gpib@2:gpib0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 44 Apr 18 09:50 gpib1 -> ../devices/pci@1f,4000/NATI,pci-gpib@4:gpib1
If you try to use these links to go to these dirs, there're not there. Also, ibconf shows no gpib devices loaded.
Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Where can I find a 10.5.8 driver for Laserjet 400 m401dne printer?

I'm running OS 10.5.8 on a G5 desktop (tower), and I just bought a LaserJet Pro 400 M401dne and connected it to this Mac with a usb cable. The Mac will print to it using a generic postscript driver automatically chosen by the OS. There is no driver for the LaserJet 400 on the list of drivers available in the OS.
The installer disk for the printer doesn't offer any driver installation for 10.5.8. It just says that the DVD software won't work with this version of the Mac OS.
This printer is capable of doing duplex (double-sided) printing, which is the main reason I bought this printer, but I am not given that option in any of the dialogue boxes for the printer when I hit PRINT. Apparently the generic postscript driver doesn't recognize the duplex printing feature of the printer. As a result I cannot print on both sides of a page.
I went to the HP website and could not find a LaserJet 400 driver for OS 10.5, nor do I see any driver for it on the Apple website. The free Gutenprint driver utility lists many LaserJet models, but not the 400.
Does anyone know where I might find a driver for this LaserJet 400 that will enable it to do double-sided printing in OS 10.5.8?
Tom

You solved the problem, BDAqua! I downloaded the driver for the LaserJet 500 from the HP website, as you suggested, and I found that it runs my LaserJet 400! And now I have the double-sided printing capability that I wanted. I just now printed out some double-sided pages to prove it.
I never even considered that a driver for a different HP printer might run this one, but it does. It offers options for printing color that this printer does not have, since the HP 400 is only a black-and-white (or grayscale) printer, and the driver thinks it is running a color printer, but I can simply ignore those.
So the HP Color LaserJet 500 driver for OS 10.5.8 is able to run the HP LaserJet 400 monochrome printer. Whodathunk!
Other HP LaserJet 400 owners running 10.5.8 take note!
Thank-you very much BDAqua!

Just upgraded my MacBookPro to OSX Mountain Lion. Now unable to reinstall Capt.Installer driver for my Canon LBP3010 printer. Same installer was used in previous OS

Just upgraded my MacBookPro to OSX Mountain Lion. Now unable to reinstall Capt.Installer driver for my Canon LBP3010 printer. Same Capt.Installer was used in previous OS.
Got message that the software was not obtained from Apple or trusted source.
Anyone can help solve this issue, do not wish to purcahse new printer, and Apple does not appear to be friendly to me

Apple is still friendly, only became more protective - for your very best. Right-click on the installer, then "Open", and then you get a window offering you the option to run it. That's a ML feature. Again, for your protection.
Independently, and as not only with Apple, a new OS X is sometimes different, and ML is that bit "pickier" with fully compatible software. So, even if your driver ran under Lion, it can be that it won't under ML. In that case please check Canon's website if they have a newer ML-compatible version, If not, also go and blame Canon. It's their responsibility to provide up-to-date drivers, not Apple's.
Good luck.

HT3669 Do you have driver for Samsung ML 1210 printer for mavericks? Please help!

Do you have driver for Samsung ML 1210 printer for mavericks? Please help!

I don't believe that Samsung ever made a driver for this model that worked in intel. Unfortunately, I think your printer is just too old. You can read here

Can't use correct driver for Canon MF4140 USB printer shared by Windows XP

Hi all,
I have a Canon MF4140 printer connected to my Windows XP desktop machine via USB. The printer is shared and I can see it over the network with my MacBook running OS-X 10.4.
I've downloaded the OS-X version of the printer driver from Canon, but I can't select it when adding the printer in OS-X, so I can't access any of the printer settings. I've selected the generic driver but that doesn't allow me to do double sided or 2-up printing.
Is this because the printer driver does not support network printing, as the printer doesn't have a network interface?

I guess this isn't clear on the iFelix page. To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in Gimp-Print. You can look around for other CUPS drivers, but Lexmark hasn't been cooperative with driver writers. Here are the CUPS driver sources:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
http://www.easysw.com/printpro/

You may find it easier to share from OS X.

Problems finding a suitable driver for my Epson R2400 printer.

I am finding the drivers that I download from Epson whist they work do not have the paper profiles and other refinements required to work with Photoshop CS5.
This printer is about 6 years old and worked perfectly with my Windows based PC but I just don't get the print colour quality or paper profiles tat I had with the PC. I am currently using the Gutenprint 5.2.3 driver for my Epson Stylus R 2400. I have plenty of inl cartridges to use up otherwise I would have bought the R 3000 as a repleaement!

Try deleting the printer, the /Library/Printer/EPSON and the /Library/Caches/Epson/ folder and then reinstalling the updates through Software Update. Your printer is shown as supporting print & scan on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. If the above doesn't work, you could install the entire Epson package by downloading it here:

Need 3rd party lexmark driver for Yosemite

Lexmark does not have a driver for Yosemite for my S605 printer. Is there a third party driver I could use on my iMac?

Did you try the Generic PostScript and/or PCL ppd when adding the printer? Or even the drivers for 10.9, if you are able to install them?

Cannot install driver for HP Laserjet 1022 Printer.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit. When I attempt to install the driver for the HP Laserjet 1022 Printer, although the software recognized that the printer existed (ergo must be plugged into the computer), I keep getting the message that installation is being held up until I connect the printer to the computer. Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi mtnkeena2,
Use a different USB cable to see if the computer can then see the printer.

Hey,
I see you are wanting to install an HP Laserjet 1200 on your Windows 7 64bit PC. I also see that the downloadable drivers are not working for you. Have you tried installing the driver located in the Windows Add a Printer: Windows Update section? For information on how to perform this type of install please read the article linked below.

Windows 7 Driver for HP 1215 Photosmart Printer

I've just bought a Windows 7 laptop, and followed these instructions for installing a printer driver for my HP Photosmart 1215 printer. However, the printer is on the network, attached to my desktop computer. I'm having no success adding it as a network printer. Any ideas greatly welcomed.
Thank you.

Sorry, but this printer is not supported in Win7. You could try searching this forum for alternative drivers or get a newer printer.

Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly

The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?

Hello Bhl3302,
Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds.
Best Regards,
Alina M

I can't find the yosemite driver for my epson r3000 printer.

I can't find the yosemite driver for my new epson r3000 printer. I am using 10.10.1. The Epson website says to find the driver by going to the App store and looking for updates. I did that and didn't find any. In "Printers and Scanners" in System Preferences I notice that the computer is aware that I am connected to the printer (via USB) but a message at the bottom of the window says that "Software for this printer isn't available from Apple. Contact the printer's manufacturer...". What to do?

See -> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 173163&prodoid=63090295&infoType=Downloads&platform=All.
It looks as though Epson has a driver compatible with Yosemite.

Driver for Canon LBP-3000 printer

to all,
i could imagine tha there would be no driver of the LBP-3000 available for mac...
i found a site, saying that there is a CAPT driver from a japanese canon's site. the problem is... the dirver fits only up to Mac OS X 10.4.4... the OS in my macbook is tiger...
what should i do???
thanks!

10.4.4 is Tiger. Current build is 10.4.6. Next one coming up is 10.4.7, so this driver is supported in Tiger.
From MacOSHints:
After months of frustration of having to use Virtual PC running Windows XP in order to print to the Canon LBP 3000, I've finally discovered that Canon has indeed (albeit silently to the whole world) released a CAPT printer driver that works without the ridiculous requirement of having to have the Japanese version of OS X installed. This is not the Linux CUPS version, it is the full LBP CAPT driver made by Canon themselves. Software support: 10.2.8 thru to 10.4.4 (in English)
http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/captusbmacx.html
It apparently works with:
LBP-2410 / 1210 / 1120 / 1110 / 1110, Premium / 1110SE, LBP5200 / 5000 / 3600 / 3500 / 3300 / 3210 / 3200 / 3000.
I've tested it with LBP3000 on 10.4.5 (directly and via Printer Sharing). The installer is in Japanese, and it quits all applications and requires a restart, and requires you to manually setup the printer using the System Preferences. After this mild digression, you have full printer functionality and setup options (including toner usage), all in English, and it's nice and fast.
My insanity has now gone, and I can now terminate that unnecessary relationship with Virtual PC for good!
PS: Japanese language skills are not required, just press the default button(s) when installing. If you're looking for an excellently cheap printer, I can now seriously recommend the LBP-3000.
