New Printing Applications

Check out the latest HP printing applications at www.hp.com/go/printing-software.  Great solutions for photo and web printing on PCs and iPhones.

Thank you for your suggestion.  You are correct that Appleworks 5  for Windows does not have a preview command in the file menu.  However, using the idea of converting to a different type of file to print, in the
"save as..." window I found I could change the file type and be able to print the newly designated file.  Some style drawbacks to that, but it works in a pinch.  For new files, they might as well be created in a different application to begin with.  But this could be a very handy technique to use to print old files so as to not have to recreate them to print.  Thanks, Barry

  • I am trying to install a new printer and I am not sure which application to use?

    I am trying to install a new printer with the external CD rom drive on my MacBook Air.  When I load the disc it is not allowing the program to run as it is stating that I have the wrong application to do so.  How do I install things from the external CD Rom?

    What model printer is it?
    It is unlikely you need its installation CD-ROM at all.

  • Can't add a new printer...

    I am unable to add a new printer using the printer setup utility in system prefs.
    I am logged in as Administrator
    I am unable to add a new printer through the "add printer" dialogue in the printing preferences of any of my applications.
    Why can't I detect them somehow and re-add them?

    Welcome to the Discussions Westar,
    Just a few questions to start out:
    Have you tried to Repair Permissions with Disk Utilities found in /Applications/Utilities?
    Have you done any other repair/troubleshooting?
    Were these printers already working with your system?
    What is the make/model of the printer(s)?

  • Unable to add a new printer in 10.5.7 - dialog box "quits"

    Every time I try to add a new printer via System Preferences-->Print&Fax, the dialog box showing available printers briefly opens, and then quits. As a result, I am currently unable to add any new printers.
    Help?? Thank you...

    If you open Console (Applications > Utilities) and look at Console Messages you may see a reference to the Add Printer starting and stopping. This may give some clues as to the cause.
    Still in Console, if you expand /Library/Logs and then expand Crash Reporter, there may be an entry for the Add Printer app.
    If none of that is any help, then you could download the 10.5.7 Combo updater and ran that. If you updated to 10.5.7 using Software Update, then the Combo updater can sometimes repair files that were damaged by the sequential update.
    You could also get a copy of Print Therapy from fixamacsoftware. This utility can help resolve printing system issues.

  • Have OSX & OS 9. Can't change chooser in OS 9 for new printer.

    Hi - Here I am hours later. Please help.
    I have a new printer ip4200. I am running both OS X and OS 9. All is well with OS X and printer, but I can not get the ip4200 to show up on my OS 9 Chooser. It shows 4 items: AppleShare, FaxPrint, LaserWrier8 and SC777 (my last printer).
    I am trying to print from Corel Print House which operates in OS 9 only and cannot.
    Thanks much.

    Hi, Diane. Ralph has the right idea. To print directly from a Classic application, you'd need to have installed an OS9-compatible driver for the ip4200, so you could select that driver in the Chooser. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be one.
    http://software.canon-europe.com/Printers/BubbleJet_Printers/PIXMAiP420010232.asp
    Indeed, the System Requirements for the printer include the following: "Macintosh computer with Mac OS X v10.2.1 or later..."
    It appears that the printer probably requires some feature(s) not present in earlier versions of OS X (let alone OS 9) to function. If that's the case, there would be no point in Canon's writing an OS 9 driver for it.
    If Corel Print House has the ability to save its documents in a file format that you can open with an OS X-native application (PDF format, for example), you could save them in that format, open them in such an application, and print them in OS X, using the printer's OS X driver. If CPH can't do that, you may have to find an OS X-native application to use instead of CPH. Or you may want to buy an older printer that does have an OS9 driver.

  • Added a new printer; other printers in Printer Utility list dissappeared

    Ok, i did something unconscious. Added a new printer (Canon MP160) to a list of many while the Printer Setup Utility was open. No harm i figured, when i rebooted 4 printers from my list were gone. Found them in Users> Library> Printers. Any way to simply drag & drop them back to the list? I don't seem to be able to add tyhem....
    Thanks for offering any insight or solutions.
    Peace

    Because the printers are still showing in Users/Library/Printers then that shows that they are still installed on your Mac. So it is possible that as the Printer Setup Utility was open it may have caused your current problem, although from what I remember most of the Canon installers I've run close all open application before installing? Anyway, if another restart doesn't get them back into view then it could be that the printers.conf file (a hidden file located in etc/cups) has not updated correctly. Open Safari and type "http://127.0.0.1:631/printers". You should see all the printers currently installed and if this file is 'damaged' then you may only see the MP160.
    Of course, it may be a lot simpler than this. It could be due to the View menu in the Printer Setup Utility. Select View > Columns and enable 'In Menu'. If there is no tick next to the other printers then that can be one reason.
    Also, if the other printers are not currently connected to the Mac you are using, then that can also stop the printers from being displayed. Also, if they are shared printers and the Mac sharing them is off/sleep, then that can stop them from appearing also.

  • Adding new printer in chooser old OS

    I just hooked up a new HP Deskjet 5940 to my old PowerMac G4 ronning on OS 10.2.8. I can print fine with my OS 10 applications, but when I go to my old OS 9 Excell or OS 9 Powerpoint, not only can't it see the new printer, I can't even add it in Chooser, where it simply doesn't show up. Help please?

    You're quite welcome.

    I have an iBook G4 PPC. I need a new printer, but my OS isn't supported by any...Can I update to a newer version?

    Hello, there are printers available, especially ones that use Postscript, is it Laser or Inkjet you're looking for?
    Highest you can go is 10.5.8

        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation

  • Add new printer driver

    Hi,
    We need to add new printer driver in SAP application server , how to add new driver?
    Actually we have some graphics and fonts which is not supporing SAPWIN .we have different printers ,these printers I could not see in SPAD .
    I foung many notes which did not help me . Can you please suggest step by step how to add new driver.
    Please dont suggest help.sap.com , It will not help me .
    - Lisa

    First, you need to download the sap driver of your printer model from the manufacturers websites, usually the file has an extension *.pri this is different from windows drivers. Next, save the file to a any directory (e.g. c:\temp) then logon to your System. In TCODE spad > goto Utilities > For Device types > select Import. A window will be opened > tick Device Type >
    Object name: type the exact filename of your downloaded file (xxx.pri) to be imported
    Mode: IMPORT
    F8/Execute
    Select the Local Object button and browse to the location of downloaded file and select open, this will start the import process. When import process is complete a pop message will be shown "Object successfully imported"
    Note: For alternative drivers try to use ZSAPWIN.
    Hope this helps.

  • Print Jobs Stop -- First w Panther, Now w Tiger and New Printer!

    I was dealing with multiple problems, so I'm not sure where to start. I was using a G4 with Panther when, among other things, I could no longer print because anytime I sent something to the printer the job would stop. Trying to start it again didn't work. My hard drive crapped out (separate issue I now realize) and I had it replaced w/ a new hard drive installed with Tiger & also purchased a new printer. I installed the new printer (for now I have it connected directly via USB) and to my surprise and chagrin I still can't print for the same reason! The job stops immediately after I send the document to print. Trying to re-start, or deleting and printing again, etc. does nothing. I've been through all the troubleshooting tips on the support page and am at wit's end. The problem doesn't seem to be specific to an application, an OS, or the printer. The Mac guy who set up my new hard drive did save as much as possible from the old one & migrated it to the new. He must have transferred the glitch, but what could it be? Please help.

    Thanks a lot Greg.
    I had problems printing to shared printer which was connected to my mac downstairs from my powerbook over airport. Kept on coming up as printer stopped. I turned all off and on, reinstalled drivers, deleted printers, and nothing worked 'till I found your tip.
    I love the mac community, keep up the good work.

  • I need to buy a new printer! Compatibility

    I need to buy a new printer this weekend as mine has just broke.
    I don't like HP
    Can someone tell me if cannon printers will work with the soon to be released Apple print application? Or what brands are compatible I've heard it's only HP but this does not makensense to me.
    Please help as I'm buying tomorrow.

    As of now, the only printers to support AirPrint are the HP Officejet Pro 8500A, the HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One, and the HP Photosmart e-All-in-One. Any printer that is connected to a computer and shared on the network through that computer will also work, although the computer must be turned on and connected to the network. Other printers may be compatible eventually, but at the moment, only the 3 HP printers support it. Several other printers are supported by printing applications.

  • Ease of adding new printer- what am I missing?

    I haven't had to add any peripherals to my iMac for several years, but am now trying to help my parents (in another state) install a new printer on their eMac. I've always heard how easy it is to add and install peripherals on a Mac compared to a PC, but they're having a heck of a time and I'm having trouble talking them through it over the phone.
    They're trying to install a Canon Pixma MP-830. They installed the software from disk and tried to print- nothing. I explained how to "Add A Printer" from the Print Utility, but they're it's still not showing up for some reason. Part of the problem is the "old dog/new tricks" thing- they're in their late 60's and are slowly adapting to the world of computing; another problem is that I'm trying to help them remotely.
    My brother, a PC-guy, insists that if they were installing it on a PC it would be plug and play right out of the box. My parents and I are all getting quite frustrated with the difficulties they're encountering, considering it should be a fairly basic exercise.
    Is there something we're missing about the supposed ease of adding a printer? It certainly hasn't been easy thus far.
    Thanks.
    iMac G3 600 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Hello Dave,
    There are a couple of things you can get them to check. The first is that the printer is showing as being connected to the Mac. Get them to open System Profiler and select Hardware > USB. All going well they should see the printer details on the USB bus. If it is present then we can move on but if it isn't then get them to disconnect the power to the 830 (not the USB) and then reconnect the power. The printer should now appear unless it or the usb cable is faulty.
    If it does appear then we can check the driver. After running the driver installer they have to restart. If they don't then that can stop the software detecting the printer. If the driver did install correctly then when they go to add the printer they should see it in the Default Browser view of the Printer Setup Utility. When they select it the Print Using menu should show Canon IJ Printer. If it doesn't then there has been a problem with the software installation. So I would get them to do the following;
    1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
    2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
    3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
    4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the file Canon iPxxxx xxx.pkg
    5. Empty the Trash
    6. Restart the Mac
    7. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Check the Canon web site to ensure you have the latest version. Do the restart when prompted. This is important.
    8. After the restart, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
    9. Open Printer Setup Utility and click Add.
    10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
    11. Click Add to add the printer.
    Hopefully this is not too much for them but unfortunately when things don't work then these extra steps are needed. As for your brothers comment - I can guarantee you that Windows is no better. The same problem does occur.

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

    Try this --
    Go to the bottom of the link I gave you, and you will see
    click that link and then click the chat button to talk to an Adobe agent
