Lion does not have a printer setup utility.

I have an HP Laserjet M1319f MFP printer. This printer supports double-sided printing. Since switching to Lion, the choice for double-sided is greyed out and thus not available. When i attempted to check this out from the printer application Utility, there is no printer set-up utility. How do I fix this?

The Printer Setup Utility was a separate utility in 10.4, but with 10.5, 10.6 and now 10.7, it's function has been incorporated into Print & Scan (formerly Print & Fax). So if you open System Preferences > Print & Scan and select the HP in the Printers column, and then click on Options & Supplies, under the Driver tab there may be the option to enable the Duplex unit. If there is this setting, enable it and then see if you have the option to select Two Sided.
Also note that some printers have their own Duplex menu rather than using the default Layout menu in the print dialog. So if you still cannot access the Two Sided setting in Layout, check if there is another menu where you can select Two Sided.

Printer driver for lexmark x6570 does not appear in printer setup utility

Hi
I have just bought a lexmark x6570 wireless printer and have installed the driver on my powerbook, set up the printer (using a usb lead as instructed) but am unable to print anything as the printer driver does not appear in the printer setup utility. I have even tried to move the folder that was created on the desktop to the printer folder in the library folder but still no joy.
Someone help me please!

Lexmark x4650 Not Added to Printer Setup Utility

I'm trying to set up a Lexmark x4650 as a shared printer on a wireless network. I got one computer set up and it works perfectly. I've tried setting up the second computer, a MBP, and after getting through the whole setup process it says that the printer was not added to the printer setup utility and to launch it and add it manually.
I'm sick of trying to set it up manually. Does anyone know why the setup app might not be working?

Wish I could help. The same model Lexmark is acting strange with me too. I have it wirelessly installed no problem on a windows PC and my wife's MacBook Pro but my plain ol' MacBook 13'' can't find the printer. I have to either plug it in USB or use it shared from the Pro.
Furthermore I have trouble reading the instillation cd. It makes horrible lawn mower pull cord like noises in the drive and only works after ejecting many times. Every other cd seems fine though and neither of the other two computers had trouble with it.
Like you no dice manually either.

HP Printer not appearing in Printer Setup Utility LIst

My HP Deskjet 6980 printer used to work fine when I first bought it. Then my laptop stopped bring able to connect to it. I contacted HP and they told me to remove the printer from the list and re-install the latest driver. I did that, and I also reset the printer setup utility preferences, but the printer never comes up. The printer does work. I printed out a few test pages from it while disconnected from the computer. How can I make the printer appear on the Setup utility list?

HP provides this troubleshooting tip.
From what I can determine the printer is an Ethernet printer. I assume you have it connected via an Ethernet cable either to your computer or a network router. You may need to add the printer as a TCP/IP printer using the IP Printer option in Printer Setup Utility. Consult the printer's manual for information on configuring the Ethernet settings. You probably should be able to configure the printer's Ethernet to use DHCP. Your Network preferences in System Preferences should also be configured to use DHCP.

HP Laserjet 6p is not recognized in Printer Setup Utility

I bought recently used HP Laserjet 6p printer and connected my PB to it's Apple Talk port via AsanteTalk Box. After I installed the HP 6p printer driver (downloaded from the HP site) I've tried several times to find the printer in the Printer Setup Utility but it doesn't appear on it! I've even downloaded a printer driver for MacOS 9 and tried to print in Classic environment but can't find any HP printer in the Chooser. Is there any solution for this problem?
I'll be very thankful for any suggestions.

Apple included the Gimp-Print driver "HP Laserjet 6 Series" for that printer. Does that show up?

Lion does not have "Save as." How do I change the name of a Keynote presentation?

How can I change the name of a Keynote presentation in Lion since it does not have "save as'?

This is so lame it feels like MS Windows. From a simple one step process it now requires first to duplicate, then ito browse back to the folder you were working in and then finally to type in a new mame. Why not just leave save as?????? This is getting so very anoying ...... just like windows with its never ending quetsions. Apple please bring back Save as.

HP 1610 All-in-one drivers not seen by Printer Setup Utility

Just got this new for christmas. I downloaded the latest software and installed it. It was "successful". Everything with the software and the printer seems to be OK. When I go to add the printer to Printer Setup Utility I see the printer icon with a ? overlayed on the list followed by the printer name, followed by "no drivers installed". The "add" button is grayed out so that the printer can't be added. I can scan with the software I installed, and everything else seems to work except printing. Looks like to me that the problem lies with the PSU. I spent about an hour and a half on the phone with a very helpful HP Tech., but no-go. I repaired permissions, but that didn't help. The unit is seen by the System Profiler. PSU is v.3.0. I am using "Panther" 10.3.5. Sure would like some suggestions... Thanks!

I did as you suggested but it did not fix the problem. The software seems to be working but the HP device 4620 printer etc will still not connect to the router/network. I am still getting the message wrong password when the correct password is used

Thank you for this information. Let's try some more steps:
I would like you to restore the defaults on your printer:
1) Press the Wrench on your printer
2) Press the Tools menu
3) Press Restore Defaults and click yes
Once this is complete, I would like you to remove the Officejet 4620 software (If there is any on this computer). Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software. Remove the USB cable out of the computer, if it's already connected. Next, let's clean out your Temp folder on your computer:
1) On the keyboard, hit the Windows key and "R" key together, then type %temp% and click enter.
2) Press Ctrl and A together (This will highlight everything)
3) Right click with your mouse and select delete
Now, perform a clean boot on your computer by following this Microsoft document here. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Try installing the software from the HP website here. Choose your correct operating system; Either 32 or 64 bit. Do not connect the USB cord into the computer until prompted.

Printers Not Listed in Printer Setup Utility Dialog

I am trying to install an Epson stylus CX4800 All in One
Scanning and Copying OK.
Downloaded and installed epson11766.dmg
The drivers show up in the Library Folder but not in the add printer dialog
I'd be grateful for any help, advice and or suggestions etc
Thank You in advance

I am having the same problem, with different wrinkle.
My Lexmark Z54 is normally connected to a PC, and I want to print over the network. I could find the printer, but could not get the printer driver to install this way. I finally undid everything, connected my printer to Mac by USB, and successfully (with glitches) got the printer working.
So, I reconnected the printer to the PC, found it over the network, and tried to tell Mac what driver to use. But the printer is STILL not listed in the pick-box, and I cannot figure out how to select the driver by looking through folders.
I have used PCs since before Windows existed, and am having a lot of troubles with Apple. This simple task is one of them.

Can I take my iweb application from osx to OS X Lion since OS X Lion does not have IWEB

Is it possible to keep the iweb application from my old computer if I up grade to a new one with OSX LION?

Not unless your iWeb is intel and doesn't need Rosetta.

The os x lion does not have the Dayi Pro Chinese input method anymore, help!

After I install the OS X Lion, I found out they cancel the Dayi Pro Chinese input method which they used to have in the previous OS version. And the Traditonal Chinese writting pad is not working, can anyone help?

Epson C88 and Printer Setup Utility

Trying to add Epson c88 to eMac system 10.3.9/800/512. Repaired permissions, installed drivers from included CD, restarted, repaired permissions. c88 does not show in Printer Setup Utility, though info's being exchanged between printer and eMac since Epson Printer Utiity recognizes the c88 and can test ink levels, head alignment, etc. No printer (not even an old c80) shows up in the printer list, so no printer can be added.
Went to Epson web site, downloaded another version of the drivers and installed same; same result - nada. Nothing shows up in the Printer Setup Utility. All cables are in working order. Weird, no?
Checked w/ Epson and they're pretty sure since Epson Printer Utility can be accessed, the problem's w/ the Printer Setup Utility; they suggested I call Apple.
Called Apple but $49.95 to try and find the problem (half the cost of the printer?) seemed untenable.
Can anyone offer insight?
eMac, iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Okay mrthuse,
I have a Epson C86, and this is the procedure I would use. I think I've changed the references to the C86, but if not, I believe the procedure for the C88 would be basically the same.
* Download the most current driver from Epson: Printer Driver v2.5bA.
* Before moving the folder & files listed below, to a "Temporary Epson Trash
Folder", open "Printer Setup Utility" and delete the C88.
* "Quit' "Printer Setup Utility"
* Move the files (Posted in Capitals) to the "Temporary Epson Trash Folder" on the Desktop
HD > Applications >
EPSON PRINTER UTILITY (Alias)
HD > Users > Your Home > Library > Preferences >
COM.EPSON.IJPRINTER.UTILITY.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.CUSTOMPRESETS.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTCENTER.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTERPROXY.INTERNAL_MODEM.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTINGPREFS.PLIST
HD > Library > Printers >
EPSON (Folder) Only move this folder if you have no other
Epson products
I also had a "OS X booklet.pdf" (Epson) that I had saved in my "Documents" folder. You will get a new one. After the installation, I replaced it. You may not have saved your original one. It's no big deal, there's really not much in it, In fact I don't remember ever opening it, before today!
* Quit ALL running Applications
* "Repair Permissions" using "Disk Utility" in the "Utilities" folder
* Dig out your Epson C88 "Start Here" instruction quick sheet, for reference
* Unplug the USB cable from the Mac & then from the C88
* Re-attach the USB cable to the C88 & then from the Mac
* Turn on your C88
* Double click on: "epson11510.sea.hqx" to unzip
* Double click on: "epson11510.sea" to expand
* Follow the prompts & instructions
* When the "Vise" installer opens in a window, double click it to start the install
* When the installation is complete, turn off the printer & restart your Mac.
* "Repair Permisions" again
* Turn on the C88
* Open "Printer Setup Utility"
* "You have no printers available" will appear. Click "Add"
* Select "Epson USB" in the contextual menu
* Click on "Stylus C88" to highlight
* Add "Page Setup:" select "All", from the contextual menu
* Click "Add"
* Quit "Printer Setup Utility"
The images below, that are left on the "Desktop", can be trashed, unless you prefer to keep the installer.
epson11510.sea.hqx

You should be good to go, I hope!
Good Luck!

Locating my printer setup utility

I dont seem to have a printer setup utility how do i get one to add my new printer to?
did it go the way of my virex when i loaded leopard? cause im getting this error msg to list the new printer in the setup utility and my search provides no printer setup utility. is there a way to get this as a download?

Yes ... here is a list of what I have done:
loaded the driver from supplied disk for printer lexmark x5470
followed directions of error msg and looked for the printer setup utility ... could not find
called lexmark (2ce)
1st time said I needed to down load the driver from their web site, which I did ... no resolution
2nd time they said I needed aforementioned utility and for me to contact Mac
(Mac has no phone support available for me or live online support so here I am at the discussion
boards)
reloaded Leopard ... still did not get a file called printer setup utility ... printer worked briefly and
then back to receiving error message. mainly from printing attempts from the web (only file I
could print from HD was a .tif file. all other .doc or .rtf would not print.)
opened disc utility and verified disc permissions ... some errors related to lexmark then repaired
tried moving the downloaded patch from lexmark around to applications and then to the lexmark
folder its self but nothing seemed to help
Is there not a Mac tech out there that could help?

Need help to find printer setup utility

I recently bought my first Mac and have slowly been adding to it over the last couple of weeks. Today I added a new printer that I wish to connect wirelessly. The printer is a Brother MFC-3360. I installed the software that came with the printer and had the printer connected directly to the Mac Book. It printed just fine.
I then disconnected the USB cable and plugged it into the Extreme Base station. It failed to print. According to the Extreme manual, I need to open printer setup utility, located in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Then from there I need to add the printer.
The problem is, I have no printer setup utility. Is there another place where it might be located?
Any other ideas will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Found problem. Went to Sys prefs -> Printers and Fax -> removed my printer and re-installed. Works like a charm.

Looking to download a Printer Setup Utility?

I have OS 10.3.9 and Classic on my G4 Mac HD. I cannot print OS 9 or OS 10 documents but I can print a sample page from the HP desjet utility folder in the OS 9 Application Folder. HP tells me I am missing part of OS 10. From the Missing Manual, I learn that i am supposed to have a Printer Setup Utility in the Utility Folder of OS 10, but this program is missing.
Can I download this program, and if so, from which site?
Thanks for any help.

George,
I would search for "Printer" in Spotlight. To get there quickly, just use the keyboard command f. If you have moved it somewhere else, you should be able to find it. It's also possible that you may have renamed the program.
If you cannot find it, you can grab a copy from another mac.
Setting up printing in classic (OS9) is usually a separate process. Use "Desktop Printer Utility" to setup your OS9 printing.

C6180 does not appear in my list of printers in Printer setup utility (mac OS X 10.4.11)

My C6180 was printing slowly so I followed the steps in the forum (unplugging, holding down the buttons, etc. ... Shut down, restart, etc.) Now it doesn't appear in my list of available printers when I try to set up again in the Printer Setup Utility. My software is updated. How to I get it in the list. I've been around in circles and I may have messed up some settings in trying to solve this. I have to print stuff for work. Freaking out a little. Help.

Hello,
