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.

My printer is a Samsung ML-2010R. Still looking for a driver solution to run Mac OS X Lion through a new Macbook Pro. Previously, I was running Mac Os X version 10.5.8 through this printer on a 4 yr old Macbook. Any further help is most appreciated:-)

Apple seems to be naming their operating sytems usability based on the respective turd size of the feline in question. Lions are big, very, very, very big.
I had a system that served me well for 2 years until I mistaking bought a new machine which runs mega-turd (Lion). Foolish me, now nothing works properly, its a daily struggle to get anything working smoothly using my NEW mac mini. All my other machines work fine, even the windows machines and my Android tablet see all the network components and can talk to each other.
My Internet service is over 3g which I share to the house using internet sharing via my brand new €800 mac mini running POS Lion, everytime the service is interrupted, Kaboom, the mini resets the DHCP server, but doesn't seem to refresh any of the components so connections drop everywhere.
Its amateur hour at Apple folks.
There are several posts alone relating to internet sharing, I have submitted a bug report relating to the non user controllable DHCP server (which may be at fault), but the response / solution from Apple was lacklustre and ultimately didn't work.
See this, there are some work around's in there;

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!

Laser Jet M1212 "Looking for Printer"

Hello,
Using the Mac 10.9.2 operating system, I have started to get the following error message when I try to print: "looking for printer" - on my computer screen. Nothing prints.
In order to fix the problem, I must unplug and replug in my router (Cisco Linksys E2000) and turn the printer off and on.
This problem comes up at least once a day, recently.
Any ideas re how to avoid the problem altogether?
With thanks.

Hi AnnPiece,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand the printer keeps losing the network connection.
I will be happy to help you.
When the printer is installed on a network, (wired or wireless) the router assigns it an IP address.
However this IP address can change for various reasons.
I would setup a static IP address.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Disregard the title.
Go to Solution five: Assign the printer a static IP address.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a great weekend!

Hi @RUkiddingme
You can download the full feature software and driver, and only install the basic driver. In the installation you should see the option for custom software. Here is the link to download the software; rw2_021_w02_enu.exe
Please let me know if this resolves the issue.

Looking for Printer Error

I have a Photosmart 7510 printer. I am on a Mac using 10.9. When I try to print I get a message looking for printer. If I turn the wifi off and then back on again it finds the printer and prints. If I want to print another page I get the error again.

Welcome to the forums tal6620
I saw your post about your printing issue you are having with your Photosmart 7510 and your Mac running Mavericks.
I would suggest trying the following:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Re-add the printer (do not add the AirPrint driver)
Best wishes!

"Looking for printer...." problem

Out of the blue, all of the machines in our office are now reporting "Looking for printer...." when users try to print to our network connected HP4200. The message is appearing in the printer app.
The printer itself seems fine, and i can print to it from a windows machine. Restarting the printer has no effect on the problem.
I've already tried the various solutions I've found in the forums here. Clearing the caches, deleting and reinstalling the printer driver, etc. works for a document or 2, but then the machine falls back into the looking for printer pattern again.
This is happening on Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard.

This problem went away as mysteriously as it arrived. Sadly, today it is back again and the proposed fix didn't help any better than all the rest of the changes we've tried. The only thing that works is to delete and reinstall the printer. However that is only good for a print or 2 before we have to do it again.
No changes have happened on the printers, the network or the macs to account for the problem coming and going.

Looking for Print Server for HP Photosmart C4483 All-in-One Printer

I am looking for Print Servers that I can use with 'HP Photosmart C4483 All-in-One Printer' for both 'Printing and Scanning'. I'm not sure if this Printer is Network Ready or Network Capable, kindly advice.

Hello Merole
As I understand it you can print color everywhere but from MS Word 2013? If this is the case try the steps I have outlined below to see if they resolve your issue:
On the View tab, in the Color/Grayscale group, click Black and White.
On the Black and White tab, in the Change Selected Object group, click the settings that you want.
I hope this helps resolve your printing issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

I've been "looking for printer" for four years.

Hi everyone,
I decided to bite the bullet and make a forum post before giving in to my frustration and chucking the thing out the window... I am running OS 10.6.8 on a mid-2008 MacBook and have an HP Photosmart C4385 all-in-one wirelessly connected. Well, connected is perhaps too strong a term. It works great about 50% of the time, and the other 50% I spend trying to coax my computer to find it. When I go to print something I get the "Looking for printer... Printer offline" message. I've been all over the HP site (you can imagine how helpful that was) and, as suggested, tried printing a config page and typing the printer's URL into the browser, but the page doesn't load. Here are some of the specs from the config page:
IP Address: 169.254.xxx.xxx
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Configuration Source: AutoIP
From some other sources it sounds like the AutoIP is the problem, but I can't find a way to set a fixed IP. I don't have access to the wireless router but this problem has stayed with me through two dorm rooms and two apartments, all with different wifi setups. Is there anything I can do?

This not intended as a solution to the IP issue, but as a possible solution to the printing problem. Why not connect your Macbook to the printer with a USB cable? That way there is no inaccessible router to deal with.

Looking for printer...

When I try and print using a shared printer on another Mac at my home network the documents queue up for the printer, but I only get a "Looking for printer..." status. I have to remove the printer and add it again. This appears to occur after the host Mac goes into sleep mode.
The printer is a Kodak 5300. The host machine is a Mac mini. Both Macs are running 10.5.2

Found answer. The USB connection to my Airport got knocked out when someone was vacuuming the other day.

Looking for printer Lexmark E250dn

Mac book pro and Imac connected wirelessly to AE. Sending file to printer is increasingly frequently met with " Looking for printer". Unplugging the AE power to reset always fixes the problem. It lasts for a few jobs, then stops working again. Latest firmware/OS/drivers.
Tried all the usual ( reset AE/Printers/reinstalled printer (Bonjour))
It seems to be happening with increasing frequency(daily)
Any help will save my few remaining grey hairs...

I have the same problem every time I print something in the print queue it says "Looking for hp color LaserJet 4600 (0001E6A2A8ED)" Most of the time it eventually finds it and prints but sometimes it either takes a really long time 10min+ or doesn't find it at all. The printer is networked to my computer thru ethernet the computer and printer are plugged into a linksys switch and the printer has a static ip address. I never had this problem before upgrading to Leopard.
