"Location" for printer - driver ?

When installing new printer & driver, what determines the "Location" as shown in Print & Fax system preferences?
The Location is showing "my Mac mini" which is part of my LAN but not connected. Same under info in printer queue. This is 1 of 6 Locations under the Apple menu.
Huh?

When you add a network printer, you have the option to manually enter the Location details. This is used by admins so that users know which printer they are connecting to.
In the case of a USB connection, the details will default to the local computer name - as set in Sharing > Computer Name section. You can change this after the installation by selecting the printer in Print & Fax and then clicking Options & Supplies > General.
I think you will find the location name for the print queue has nothing to do with the Location option under the Apple menu, which is based on the Location menu in System Preferences > Network.

  • Unable to locate a printer driver for a Samsung ML-2165 mono laser on OSX5.8 despite installing software successfully. Any ideas?

    I've installed successfully from disc (and removed it manually and reinstalled and restarted and unplugged etc). The iBook G4 sees the printer but the dialogue tells me there is no appropriate printer driver and to select one.  The only Samsung ones that appear are Guttenberg ones for different models. The Samsung folder appears in the Library/Printers folder. I have also downloaded Mac drivers from Samsung's website they unzip to folders 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6. The 10.5 one includes
    file://localhost/10.5/autosetupinfo.plist
    file://localhost/10.5/Command%20File%20Filter/
    file://localhost/10.5/Filter-%20SPL/
    file://localhost/10.5/ML-2160.icns
    file://localhost/10.5/PDE/
    file://localhost/10.5/PPD/
    file://localhost/10.5/SCMS/
    file://localhost/10.5/statusDesc.plist
    file://localhost/10.5/Utilities/
    I've put the folders in the printers folder - no change, I don't think anything has installed itself. There is certainly no installer automatically opening. What to do next?
    Samsung have sent me a standard Microsoft reply..... Hope someone can advise.

    Thank you very much for your clear advice which ought to work.
    Unfortunately none of this seems to work and is what I have already tried. This is a new printer - I have installed the software from the CD to no avail - I can select the printer but am told I have to download software..
    I have manually deleted software.  Then, I have downloaded the Mac software from the UK and the italian websites. The printer is found in the menu but again it says there is no suitable software. When browing under the 'other' heading the contents of the downloaded folder are greyed out and can't be installed. It appears the Samsung printer driver is not making itself available to the Print and Fax selector.
    It does make me wonder whether I have accidentally removed a vital piece of software - having removed most of the printer drivers a while ago to save disc space.

  • Where to Download an Older Version for Printer Driver?

    I just purchased a used Mac Mini that has an older operating system, 10.4.11.
    The latest printer drivers available for download do not support this operating system- only available for 10.5 or higher.
    Upgrading my OS is not an option (I don't have enough memory- only 512MB - but need 5GBs). Using the printer driver disk that came with the printer is not an option as the optical scanner in the Mac Mini does not work.
    So, I need to find out how / where I can download the printer driver v4.4 for Kodak All-In-One Printer ESP C315- it is not available on the Kodak website. (They do have some Firmware update for that printer for my os, but you have to have the printer driver installed first)
    Does anyone know of a place on the web that hold older printer driver downloads? 
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Contact Kodak tech support and see if they can provide a driver for you.
    Have you tried drivers that came with OS X? Even though they may be for Leopard does not mean they won't work with your printer just because you are running Tiger. Does Tiger have a printer driver for it? OS X has a rather large number of printer drivers included.
    Is this what you need?

  • How can I prevent update notice for print driver?

    Recently I let the update notification window update my HP printer drivers.  The updated driver eliminated my scanner. (i have an HP Photosmart all-in-one).  I had to track dpwn and install the latest OS X printer driver at the HP website.  It works fine.  Now I get a notice that new software is available every few days, and it always contains the printer driver from Apple. 
    I want to keep my Apple software upto date, but I don't want to go through reinsalling my HP printer driver every few days.  Is there any way to turn this notice off?

  • Search for Printer Driver for Canon MPC190S

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem in getting my Mini to print on my existing printer (Canon MPC 190S).
    Called up Local Canon Support, saying that they dont Support Mac system.
    Anyone can help me out on advise on how to get the driver?
    Thanks
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    The Canon MPC 190 (don't know what the S means, it didn't come up when searching Canon's web sites) is only supported by Windows, so what Canon told you is correct, they don't have a mac driver or mac multifunction software for it.
    While there may be a way to enable the mini to do basic printing, you may want to consider another multifunction fax/copy/printer that has mac support.

  • Looking for printer driver

    Hi, I'm looking for a third party driver for canon b&w laser model;lbp1120
    any experiences or suggestions appreciated

    Hi Ian,
    I looked around on Canon's site and the web. It appears that the LBP-1120 is a Windows only printer. It's considered a software printer. Meaning that the driver has to do all of the prep work and then sends the completed raster data to the printer. From what I've read on quite a few sites, there was never an OS X driver written for this printer. Some tried to get it to work with the OS X Gimp drivers and those didn't work either.
    Not that it would hurt for you to call Canon's support line and see what they say.

  • Where are the recent file locations for Printing to PDF stored? Deleted folders reappear when printing to PDF.

    question is above... where can I delete the list of recent locations?
    very annoying when I delete folders I have used in previous PDF printing, then reappear (all of them) when I PDF again to any location

    AcroTray is running in background.
    Thanks, will try that. Just have to work out Word settings so the conversion is seamless. Word tends to drop images and such when I do that.
    In the interim, I've downloaded the CutePDF driver and all seems to be working. Ultimately the issue seems to lie with the PDF driver provided by Acrobat, but no matter how many times I reinstall the driver I still get the same problem.

    If your Windows 8 is 64-bit I think you are out of luck.
    If your Windows 8 is 32-bit, you could try the Windows 7 solutions given in the earlier message. They might work with Windows 8.
    The LJ 1000 is indeed a great printer and it is sad that HP has not continued to supported the customers who bought it.

    Hey farhanchd,
    What is the full name of your HP Laserjet printer?  
    There are several models in the HP Laserjet 1100 series and would need to know the exact name to give you precise instructions.  
    I do know that the Laserjet 1160 has a driver available through the Windows Update system and may be the same for your printer.  Please take a look at the information in the link provided below.

  • HP Laserjet IIp plus printer driver

    Hi Guys - need help locating a printer driver for HP Laserjet IIp Plus. Trying to get this thing attached to a blue iMac running OS 9.2. Have searched everywhere I can think of. Just hoping someone out there has something with 9.2 running same, or a good lead...
    Thanks in advance

    Hi, John. HP offers no Mac drivers for the IIp or IIp+, probably because they were built with only a parallel-port interface, which Macs can't use. They are not PostScript printers, so even if you could connect yours to your Mac, it couldn't use the Apple or Adobe PostScript driver that some HP printers (e.g. my LaserJet 4M) can use.
    I believe the only way you'll be able to use the IIp+ with any Mac will be to locate a used Infowave PowerPrint cable-and-driver package (the cable is essential; the driver alone would be of no value). But that will only help you on a Mac that can boot into OS 8.x or 9.x and has an ADB port, which no iMac does. And when it was new, PowerPrint was expensive: it cost more than many low-end printers, so most people just replaced their printers instead of bothering with PowerPrint. Even PowerPrint won't serve your needs unless you have an old ADB-equipped Mac to run it on, so you should probably plan to use a different printer instead of the IIp+.

  • Can I install multiple instances of the Adobe PDF printer driver?

    Our application allows printing to be directed to different folders depending on the document to be printed.  However, the Adobe printer driver printing preferences directs the file to a specific location, so we have to store all documents in one folder.  Is it possible to have multiple instances of the printer driver, for instance Adobe PDF 1, Adobe PDF 2, with the output folder set to a different location for each driver, or is there a simpler way of specifying the output folders?
    Thanks

    (Instructions for XP Pro and Acrobat 8.0)
    Open the printers folder and click on Add a printer.
    Click Next on the Welcome screen
    Select 'Local Printer attached to this computer', uncheck Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer, click Next
    Click on Create a new port, select 'Adobe PDF Port' from the list, click Next
    Select the folder you want the PDF stored in, click OK
    On the Install Printer Software screen click on Have Disk
    Click on the Browse button and browse to 'Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\xtras\AdobePDF' (May be different for your setup)
    Select the AdobePDF.inf (English version) and click OK
    Select the Adobe PDF Convertor (there may be several listed, I always choose the top one) and click Next
    If the Use Existing Driver dialog is displayed select 'Keep existing driver' click Next
    Name the Printer i.e. Adobe PDF 1, click Next
    Set the sharing options, print a test page if you wish and finish.
    Now when you print to this printer from within an application it will create the PDF in the specified folder
    You can repeat this process for a number of outputs.
    Hope this helps
