Missing print driver when adding rendezvous printer

Hello all, hopefully you smart people can help me.
The new iMac (10.4.9) is glorious and printing on the new HP Photosmart D5069 via USB, no problems. I want to share the printer with two laptops (an iBook and Powerbook, both running 10.3.9). I enabled sharing.
When I go to add the printer on the laptops, under Rendezvous printing it sees the printer at the iMac (@ computer). I add it, but then I need the print driver.
So I stepped back and installed the HP software disc on the laptops to get the print driver on there. I installed it via USB. I can print from a laptop to the printer via USB.
However, when I return the printer to its USB connection on the iMac, and then proceed to add the shared printer via Rendezvous on the laptops, I still can't find the printer driver. Under Printer Model/HP there is no Photosmart D5xxx model. Using the generic print driver leads to no printing via Rendezvous (it shows up in the queue on the iMac, but no printing occurs).
So how do I add the correct print driver? It must be on my hard drive, since I can USB print, but I can't reveal its presence to Rendezvous.
As an added note, I thought Rendezvous was supposed to make it EASY. If you have to add the print driver manually, I'm not sure how that helps using Rendezvous.
Thanks

Repair permissions (Disk Utility) after any HP driver install. Then restart the computer and try Adding the printer.
For troubleshooting, try using the HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver included in OS X. If you don't see that either, you may need to update your laptops with Gutenprint, the new name for Gimp-Print drivers:

Missing kodak driver for 9810 photo printer

When I upgraded to Lion the Kodak 9810 photo printer worked at first. But I accidentally deleted the printer and when I tried to add it again it couldn't locate the driver. I've downloaded the driver from Kodak's website but it still won't show up when adding the printer. HELP!

the adrian,
I spoke to a Kodak pro person and they are aware of the problem and he doesn't think Kodak will make a fix for it. He suggested I use the TEPS software which is free. I tried it and it does work, so at least I can use the printer.

Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing a PDF

Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing on a domain, this only happens when I print a PDF.
I then have to restart the print spooler to get my printouts sent to the printer. I am using a Windows 7 32 & 64 bit environment on a domain. Users who aren't on the domain experience no issues and their printer drivers remain online and not grayed out.
When I print a PDF using Foxit Reader or Nitro PDF then all works fine, the moment I open a PDF using Adobe Reader X or XI then the shared network printer driver bombs out and I am back restarting the print spooler. If we roll back to Adobe 9 then we dont have any issues.
When you create a local printer driver all works fine, the problem is we don't encourage local printer drivers due to security.
We use Ricoh printer drivers, the MPC5501 PCL5C, driver version 1.2.0.0 with PDK version 12.65. We have also tried the PCL6 printer driver and Universal printer driver. All give the same result. The printer uses Winiprint Print processor using RAW as the default data type.
We have contacted Adobe Global Support who advised that they cannot assist with this query as this is on a Domain environment and we have to contact our IT Department.
We would really appreciate some professional help here to get a fix for this issue in order to address potential future occurance's

Install printer driver for a shared printer MP520

Hi,
I need to install the Canon MP520 (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=116&mo delid=15483) printer to my MBP. The printer is connected to another a mac running OSX and is shared. I installed the OSX driver provided on the Canon page and I can see the shared printer in the network printers but when I am asked to choose the driver I can't see the correct model listed.
On the other hand, if I simply connect the same printer via USB, to my MBP it is recognized directly.
When I'm asked to provide the driver while adding the printer via the network, there is also the option to browse to the driver location. So my question is, where are the can I find the right driver on the OS ?
Thanks in advance ,
Tex

Reading your first post it sounds like the method you used to connect to the shared printer may have been incorrect.
When a Mac is sharing a printer, to add this printer on another Mac, you select the Default browser view. You should see the printer name followed by Shared in this view. When you select it, there should be no requirement to browse for a printer model. The queue should just be created with minimal driver options.
If you want to have all the features of the MP520 available to your Mac, then you need to install the same driver on your Mac as what is being used by the Mac sharing the printer. Check this carefully as Canon offers two drivers for Mac OS X and you can also use the free Gutenprint driver set for the MP520. If you open System Preferences > Print & Fax on the sharing Mac, select the printer in the list and look at the Kind section of the right hand pane, the driver version will be displayed. With a bit of luck the driver that was used to install on this Mac might still be available so that you can install it on your Mac.
Note also that you don't have to add the printer queue to your Mac to print to a shared Mac printer. From the majority of applications, when you select to print, you should find a Shared Printer option in the print dialog > Printer menu. This can be beneficial if you don't have a requirement to add this printer to your list, such as when you are visiting someone with Mac's. This doesn't sound like your situation but wanted to make you and others you read this aware of this fact.

Epson RX 700 DVD label printing - "driver dealing with CD printing is not..

Thank goodness I still have my PowerBook with Tiger 10.4.11 on it so I can print DVD labels. But I would like to be able to do this with my intel iMac with Leopard on it.
When I try to print DVD labels on my iMac with Leopard 10.5.3 using the horrible Epson Print CD software I am getting, "EPSON printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed."
I searched on this message board and others have gone to the Russian website and downloaded the newer print driver which isn't available on the American website. I found driver 3.09, download it, and installed it. It shows up in English and everything LOOKs good.
Then I try to print from the EPSON CD Print software and it gives me this error.
Note that I also bought Roxio's Toast 9 Titanium with Disc Cover RE and try to print from that it and the print job gets all the way to the printer queue which tells me, "CD/DVD guide open". Well DUH, I'm trying to print the CD/DVD so I want it open, stupid printer.
Or I'm just being stupid. Help. Did I forgot to stand on my head, rub my stomach, pat my feet, and chant something before/after installing the new printer driver which is supposed to work?

I've done all that (exactly as it is suggested from the Epson support site) and I still get the same error. I called their tech support and they admitted that there is no real fix... only a workaround by doing a manual print. I had already figured that out, but all the instruction on their support site is useless.
My older machines work fine, but our new iMacs running Leopard will not print with Print CD.

How can I replace my old print driver with my new printer driver on 13

how can I replace my old print driver with my new print driver on photo elements 13

The print driver is not installed in PSE.
Check with the manufacturer of your printer.

I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer. When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled? Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer. When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled? Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Error 9672 when adding USB printer with bonjour

I cannot get the printer to be added. Everytime it says an error occured #9672.
I have done all the suggested options to get the printer to add. It is recognized in the add list, and does everything up to adding it to the network, but the error pops up.
I have updated airport extreme to the newest version.

What is the printer make & model that you are connecting to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
You may want to double-check this iFelix site to see if it's compatible with the AEBSn.

Bluetooth mouse stops working when adding a printer: 10.10.2

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 Retina, upgraded to 10.10.2. Since upgrading to 10.10.2 I have been unable to connect to my Canon MG6150 that is plugged into the USB port of the Time Capsule (3TB). Those problems will be detailed in a separate post.
I have tried deleting the printer and creating a new printer and when I click on the + and get the window to select a printer, the bluetooth mouse stops working - the message comes up to show "Connection Lost". I have to select the printer manually and only when I have returned to the main Printer window in Settings & Preferences does the mouse connection work again.
Weird. Between this and not being able to set up the scanning features again (that used to work), I'm feeling underwhelmed...

sounds like an IRQ conflict. See if disabling plug and play in the bios solves it. Arch's kernel provides this already.

Printing problem when adding a button to print the whole page

Hello,
I added a button with printing option = Apply to self, Print = page.
The result is that it prints only the i-view in which the button is located. I want the whole page to be printed. The page is composed of several i-views and I also use layers.
Has someone an idea ?
Thanks a lot,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I received exact the same problem case during our visual composer developments. On SPS 14 the print functionality worked as expected with the print option u201Cprint pageu201D. After the implementation of SPS 16 we had to use u201Cprint screenu201D.
Hopes this helps.
Best regards

Print Driver Not Present on Print & Fax

We have a networked printer (HP Photosmart 8400) that I'm trying to use via Time Machine. I have added the print driver itself (wasn't present earlier) but when I try to change printer type to the 8400, it doesn't show up as a choice. I suspect this is why it won't print. Any ideas?

Time Machine is backup software. I suspect you mean "Time Capsule", a hardware device.
Have you used the "Printers" view of AirPort Utility to configure the printer?

Need to export windows 7 x64 builtin printer driver to a x86 print server

Hi,
We're planning our migration to windows 7 x64. But our environment doesn't have a x64 server neither a Server 2008; we only have x86 server 2003.
We are having trouble with printer Konica Minolta Bizhub 161f. I spoke with Konica support, they advised me they do not have a x64 driver for this model yet. The tech told me i can use the
HP LaserJet Family PCL5 driver built-in windows 7. I connected the network printer and selected the built-in driver from the list. So far this works as a charm.
Here's my concern, in order to upload x64 drivers to a 32bit server, i need to first to connect the printer from the print server to my x64 computer. But when i try this, i don't have the
prompt to select a driver from win7 built-in drivers. When i choose connect to... it asks me to locate a INF file on my computer. I don't have the INF file since its built-in windows. I tried to look within Windows's file system, under "Windows\INF\" but i
couldn't find what i need.
1. How can i export or find a built-in driver file within windows 7?
2.Is there is a better way to upload x64 drivers to a 32bit Server 2003?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Regards,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,
Thanks for the post.
Here is how we find the built-in driver file within Windows 7:
1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows X64\Drivers\Version-3\{Printer Driver Name}, in the right panel, check the value of "InfPath". Now we will get the specific path of INF file.
2. On a x32 Win2k3 server
Click on Start, Control Panel
Double click on Printers
Press the ALT button
or
Click on Organize, Layout, Menu Bar
Click on File, Run as administrator, Server Properties...
Click on the Drivers tab
Click on Add...
Click on Next
Uncheck the 'x86 Type 3 - User Mode'
Check the 'x64 Type 3 - User Mode'
Click on Have Disk...
Click on Browse... (to the x64 Win7 machine)
\\X64Win7\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prn*.inf_{GUID}
For example:
\\X64Win7\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnhp001.inf_5fecfc5e\prnhp001.inf
Click on Open
Click on Ok
Under "Printers"
Select the print driver that you want to install
Click on Next
Click on Finish
Now you should be able to see the x64 print drivers installed under the "Processor" column.
Click on Close
In this case, we need to pay attention to the match of INF file name. As the Konica Minolta Bizhub 161f 32-bit printer driver has been installed on Windows Server 2003, but you try to install HP LaserJet Family PCL5 64-bit printer driver. The two INF files
will not be the same, which causes the x64 driver can be instaled as an additional driver. So we need to change the INF file name to match the 32-bit one. I cannot guarantee that the method can totally work on this case as it may involve some custom settings
from printer manufacturer. If needed, I suggest you contact Konica Support when you go through it.
Hope this helps.
Miles
