No printing after upgrade to Mavericks

I updated to Mavericks today. Lost my printer and scanner.
Pixma MP130 and CanoScan LIDE 25
I am sure with my previous OSX version that I just plugged these devices into my usb and they were recognised immediatly
But not with Mavericks. And no drivers available either.

This worked for me:
uninstall all printer manufacturer software apps.
go to system preferences > printers & scannerscontrol click on your printer in the column on the left, and select reset print system, and in the next dialog, reset.
do a factory reset on your printer
go back to printers & scanners and let it download the drivers from Apple.
printer will probably work.
do the same with Image Capture, let it download the driver.
In my case, after the factory reset on the printer, I also had to reset my wifi, and enter my wifi password to get my printer/scanner back on my wifi network.
I find that except for the drivers, the printer manufacturer software is often problematic. When I buy a new printer I leave that shiny new CD that comes with it in the envelope.

Do I need to download drivers for an HP 8600 all in one printer after upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion?

I am about to upgrade my Mac's OS from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. I recently networked to my Mac on our home wireless network an HP 8600 all in one printer/scanner and an HP LaserPro 127. I saw a note posted in a non-Apple forum stating that the Mavericks upgrade should include the drivers needed to run these products on Mavericks. Is that correct or will I need to download a new set of drivers from HP after I upgrade to Mavericks?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Very slow printing after upgrading to Mavericks and reinstalling HP s/w for an Officejet 8600?

Before upgrading to Mavericks, my HP 8600s (have 2) would zing at printing. Now they are incredibly slow. I had to do a Restore after my operating system upgrade and after that, the HP folder was not in the Applications Folder. That caused me to reiinstall the HP s/w for the 8600 which I downloaded from the HP website taking care to download and install exactly as was prescribed for the Mavericks scenario. I'm wondering if the problem is that I chose the bonjour versions of each printer when I reinstalled to each printer.
An idea of what I mean by slow is a one and half page letter is taking over 5 minutes to print whereas it used to print at about 30 seconds.
I need some help on this ASAP because my home-office is at a standstill. Many thanks.

Hi BerniePiel,
Choosing the Bonjour version means you have chosen the wireless option. Bonjour is a technology that is built into Mac OS and iOS. This technology discovers devices such as printers that are installed on the same network as a Mac or Apple mobile device. Bonjour is the default method for discovering devices on a network.
I can certainly help you with this. When you added the printer, did you add the printer with the 'AirPrint' driver or are you using the HP driver? Us the screenshot below to help you check.
If you do not see AirPrint next to your printer name as shown above, delete the printer and re-add it. When you click the plus symbol you need to choose 'add another printer or scanner', then select your printer and choose the HP driver next to 'Use'.
If the issue persists, or you were already using the HP driver, try the following steps.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click  System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click  Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OKto confirm the reset.
Type the correct  Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click  Utilities.
Double-clickDisk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions  button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
Restart the computer
Once these steps have been complete, re-add the printer again, and print. Please let me know if this resolves the issue. If the issue persists I will gladly follow up and continue to work with you.

HP p1006 won't print after upgrade to Mavericks

After upgrading from 10.8 to 10.9 my computer won't print anymore. It says "Pages not found!"
The printer is attached to a Mac server running 10.8 which is printing fine, but my computer (running 10.9) won't print unless I boot it from the 10.8 partition which still works.
What I've already tried: (on my computer & server)
Reset the printing system
updated drivers to HPPrinterDriver2.16.1
Repaired permissions

Hi zmogy,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to print on the 10.9.
I will be happy to help you.
The HPPrinterDriver2.16.1 is the latest HP printing and scanning software for OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
Plug the printer directly into the 10.9 computer and run the Apple Updates to install the Apple drivers.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Test the printing.
I can't guarantee it will print over the server.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a nice day!

Problem with shared printer after upgrade to Maverick

Hi Guys,
I have one iMac and two windows PC which connect to the same WiFi router.
The iMac has a HP LaserJet CP2025 attached to its USB port and shared with other windows PCs with no problem.
Until I upgrade my iMac to Maverick recently, now those PCs cannot see the shared printer anymore.
Do you have any ideas what configuration is changed in the Maverick which could cause this please?
I have been searching through Apple communities and other tech forums and have tried many solution, but still cannot solve this. (I have also tried setting up LDP, but no luck so far)
PS ... Shared files seems to work fine. I can access (read/write) the shared files/folders from windows with no problem (SMB and AFP enable).
Any ideas, pointers or links would be appreciated.
Cheers,
ChaaPru

My cannon MF8350 will no longer print after upgrading to mavericks

My printer is on a network that was running fine with Mountain Lion. Yesterday I upgraded to OS X and now when I go to print I get the message, "printer is not responding." I've tried restarting the computer, the printer, reloading the printer to the network using bonjure. It finds the printer on the network but I still get the message when I go to print a document.

I suspect that an old driver is in use. Try Resetting Print System and then add again and try printing.

Can anyone help to solve the problem?

Thanks

Hey WKWF,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides relevant troubleshooting information for your issue:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,

IMac wont start up after upgrade to Mavericks

I installed Mavericks as an upgrade to OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac and with in a half an hour of use my computer froze, I have tried all the normal rebooting techniques but my opening screen still has the vertical green stripes, even after using the disk repair/first aid utility, the iMac freezes without fully booting. the disk repair found no issues and says all is OK.

Hello Tone56,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your computer after upgrading to Mavericks, and are seeing some graphical anomolies on startup. I recommend starting by resetting your PRAM with this article:
OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph14222
Note: To print these instructions, open Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear), then choose Print.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
Then reset your SMC:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
If the issue persists, try performing a Safe Boot then restart as normal to see if that will allow you to boot normally:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Printers disappeared after upgrade to Mavericks

All printers disappeared from user account after upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8 by Migration Assistant.
The obvious question: How to migrate the printers?
I don't recall each individual printer setup and just want to move them over.

Hello Mac Experts,
I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and I too am having this same issue. After my upgrade was completed, I checked my printers and noticed that all my network printers were gone. I have never perform an OS X upgrade before and this is my first attempt, although the upgrade was successful but I was a bit surprised that all the network printers that I have were gone.
For those us either in a small SOHO this is no big deal, however, if you're in a big environment where you have a lot of machines this would be a big problem and would create a lot of unnecessary work and time wasted.
Have any of you Mac experts perform an upgrade from Panther to Tiger? If so, did you loose all your network printers that you have configured in System Preferences > Print & Fax
Could this be a bug in Leopard????
