New printer not listed within Reader as an option for printing

Hi all
Prior to changing printers, Reader worked fine.
Our old Dell 1815dn laser printer needed to be replaced. We bought an updated model, the Dell 2335dn. We first uninstalled the old printer and then installed the new one. Word documents print without a problem. However, when trying to print a PDF document, the new printer is not listed as an option but the old one is, despite having been uninstalled. I have updated Reader to v11 and tried again with the same result. The laptop has been completely shut down between the varios stages of this.
Any ideas please?

Hi Michael.
The screenprint is attached (or below! - I'm not sure which as I type!).
The printer shown (1815) is the old, uninstalled one. The new one is a Dell 2335dn and isn't shown at all.
regards
Trevor

Hi,
Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

No. Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days. Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

New installed printer not listed in drop down list of Reader 11

Hi, I have recently changed my printer, first uninstalling the old one, restarting the laptop and installing the new one. On trying to print an email PDF attachment, Reader 11 starts up but my new printer is not listed. The old one still is, even though it has been uninstalled (via Control Panel / programs). I have downloded a workaround but would prefer to continue using reader. I am using Windows 7. Other file types print with no problem. Any ideas please?

PRINTER PROFILE WHY IS MY PRINTER NOT LISTED AND HOW CAN I ADD

I have just installed Lightroom 5 and went to set up profile of printer and my epson stylus pro 4900 is not listed. How can I add

Lightroom does not show a full list of all the profiles present in the computer. This would be unmanageably long, including a lot of irrelevant choices.
The user customises what is seen.
In the Print Job / Color Management section of the Print module, is a "Profile" selector. The lowest item in the menu that opens when you click on this, is "Other..."
Selecting this opens a new dialog, listing all the color management profiles that the OS currently knows about. Putting a check next to any printing output profile, makes that appear in the LR profiles "shortlist" hereafter. This would usually state a specific paper type, for a specific printer (and inkset if nonstandard).
AFAICT the exact same "shortlist" appears in softproofing too - in that case, AdobeRGB and sRGB are automatically offered as well.

Printer not listed in my computer

I AM TRYING TO COPY PICS FROM MY PRINTER TO MY HARD DRIVE AND I NO LONGER SEE THE HP IN MY COMPUTER. MY ONLY OPTION IS PRINT OR SCAN.

Hello @041406,
Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Now, because you were normally able to see the Memory Card on your computer after inserting the Memory Card into your printer there is good chance that you just need to Map the Network Drive to regain access to the Memory Card. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
Note: These steps pertain to a person who has their printer connected over a wireless/wired network, that wishes to transfer files from the memory card slot on the printer to their computer. You need to map a network drive. This allows the computer to see the memory card that is inserted into the printer as a drive in their ‘Computer’ folder on their PC.
Step 1: Print Network Configuration Report:
To start, a Network Configuration Report must be printed from the printers control panel to locate the 'Host Name' of the printer.
1. Right arrow, and select the 'Setup' button on the front panel of the printer
2. Select Network Menu
3. Select Print Network Configuration. The report will now print. Locate the Host Name.
Step 2: Map A Network Drive:
1. Click on the Start menu on your Computer
2. Right click on Computer
3. Choose Map a Network Drive
4. When the 'Map a Network Drive' window opens, select an available drive letter from the 'Drive' drop-down box.
5. In the 'Folder' field type \\HOST NAME\Memory_Card
NOTE: HOST NAME is the one that you found on the Network Configuration Page.
NOTE: Also, do NOT use the Browse feature or the mapping might fail.
6. Check the box next to 'Reconnect at logon' if it is not already checked and choose 'Finish'
The network drive is now mapped. Now, when you go to your Computer folder on your Windows 7 computer with the memory card inserted in your printer you should see the 'Drive Letter' that you previously chose as an icon. If you open this drive you will be able to see the contents within the Memory Card.
Please let me know if the steps I provided resolve your Memory Card issue. Best of luck!

Printing to Shared Windows Printer (printer not listed)

Hi
I have an iMac with an intel processor running Leopard 10.5.2.
I have a Canon iP1800 connected to a windows xp PC and I am wanting to print to this printer over my network.
I can see the printer no problem and Mac OS will let me connect to it but my printer is not listed in the driver list.
I have been on Canons website and downloaded the correct driver thats supposed to work with Leopard but even once I have installed this the printer still does not appear in the list.
I'm sure this world work if I could only point Mac OS to the location of the printer driver.
So my question is, how do I get my printer to appear in the list? or is there another way of doing this.
Thanks

When you say it doesn't show up for windows printing what do you mean?
When I go to add a printer by clicking the + button I then select windows and the printer shows up there fine but when I click on the drop down menu print using, select a driver to use this is where it doesn't show up. Is this what you mean?
If so I have been on the Gutenprint website but my printer is not listed. If I install the latest version would this work for me? What would I select in the print using drop down menu?
Thanks

KDE4 desktop does not list Adobe Reader for pdf files

If I right click on a PDF file in Dolphin, Adobe Reader is not listed under "open with". Any idea why this is? What is need to get it to show up?

Well up front I would like to thank all of you that responded, and tell you that I am sorry that I have not posted back. But, I have been trying to incorporate and to ensure that I have been following the suggestions that you have provided.
Let me provide a bit more of information:
I am trying to safe a chart from the Reunion Family program, which I have been using for a few years.
I did save one Descendant chart and was able to send it to a group of the family as a PDF file. This was using adobe 5. After I sent that chart, I upgraded the adobe 5 software to adobe reader 9. Since the upgrade I have not been able to save a chart in the Graphic File.pdf. The file saves but when I open the file it is a one page blank document. However, I can go into preferences and by changing the view size, it will show the entire document (sometimes). I tried to save that document and send it, but the people who receive it stated that it comes as a blank page. I also, saved the file as a JPEG and sent it, but the people stated that it comes as a very narrow column, unreadable, and can not be open.
I have went back and removed the installed upgrade and started from scratch, I am using the correct software package, and after uploading it, I do run the permissions program.
So, once again I am trying to obtain some knowledge on how to safe the descendant file as a PDF file and send it by e mail.
It is driving me crazy-and once again proves that the machine is much smarter than I.
Any help would be appreciated.

6131 Add New language Not Listed After SW upgrade ...

Hello Every body,
I flashed my 6131 from Version V3.70 to V5.50. Everything Seems to be fine but Greek Language is not listed.
Greek Language was supported by previous firmware.
Any possible solutions ?
Thnask you in advance

Hello Ivotsis,
everything depends on product code of your Nokia 6131. You find this code under the battery. For example my product code is 0532273.
Sometimes happens, that the phone you bought probably in Greece is originally designed for other country and your language pack was flashed into your phone later by the reseller.
In this situation, if you use Nokia Software Updater it downloads firmware with language pack according to your phone's product code, where greek language is missing.
In other forum here is possible to check the product code of your phone against the language you need (before flashing the firmware) to know, if your language after flashing will be available or not.
In your situation is necessary, I'm afraid, to visit Nokia service center with request to flash firmware again with correct (greek) language pack. It may cost some money.
Best regards,
Tomas

Printer not holding it's PCL settting "Raw character printing"

I have some older HP printers where I can send PCL commands to the printers (font, size,orientation, etc.) using a program in Unix,. I can send multiple jobs to that printer and it holds the setting sent to the printer until I send the default PCL setting command back to the printer.
On the newer HP printers, I send the same commands, but the printer is not holding the setting when I send the additional print jobs. Is there some setting on the printers where I can change the printer behavior similar to the older printers? Or, is there is a PCL command that would give me the same behavior?

Most modern LaserJet (and clone) printers reset to user environment (power-on) defaults at the end of each 'print job'.
... and if a print job is not terminated with explicit PCL5 reset or Universal Exit Language reset sequences, the printer will force a reset at the end of a timeout period (usually defaulting to 300 seconds).
So you'll probably have to concatenate your 'initialisation sequences' with each actual print job.
[When I worked on early System 5 *n*x systems many years ago, you could set up initialisation strings within the 'lpsched' spooling system, using the IS2 variable.]

Network Printer not recognized by install software and won't print

I have a C5180 All-in-one printer hooked up to a wireless modem from my DSL provider. That modem is hooked up to my desktop directly and my notebook via the network. I had trouble with it this morning in that when I tried to print something the screen on the printer would say printing, but nothing would print. I tried a bunch of different things and ended up reinstalling the software via the HP website.
The software is installed, but it cannot find the printer on the network to add it to the computer. My notebook which I have not done anything with also does not print to the printer. Although the printer does say printing when new items are selected to print, yet nothing ends up printing.
Any suggestions?

I have also tried to use HP Print and Scan Doctor and it cannot find the printer on the network. I try copying using the scan bed of the printer and it won't print. It also won't scan because it says the program isn't fully installed.

My new HP Pavilion desktop has no usb connection option for my old Canon Pixma iP 2600 printer

Greetings:
I can no longer locate the installation disk for my my old Canon Pixma iP 2600 printer. I'm able to install it w/the add a printer feature in the control panel, but the desktop fails to read that the printer is connected via usb cord. I'm not finding any option to install it as a usb printer. Please help asap. I can't afford to replace the printer, and I have several documents I have to print today or early tomorrow, or there will be dire financial complications for me. I NEVER had this problem w/Dell. (the operating system is windows seven, which is exactly what i was running on my older dell model - i have searched this forum and located a similar question, but that querent was able to find a usb option in the drop down menu for port installation. that option is absent in my attempts).
Thank you!
