Printer does not show in Printer & Fax

My printer had a fit and in the attempts to fix it I managed to delete the drivers. After reinstalling the drivers from disc the printer would not show in the Printer & Fax ADD window.
In fact the only place the printer does show up is in the System Profiler.
The printer is a HP Officejey 6110 all-in-one and worked fine as a printer up to now.
It is connected to my IMac via USB the connections have been checked and the printer and computer have been shut down several times.
The printer will print the HP Utilities tests and shows in the system profiler so it cannot be a connection problem, the drivers have been reinstalled so that should not be a problem?
Does anyone know what I can do short of getting a new printer?
The system is an IMAC OS X Version 10.5.8 fully updated
Processor 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks Heaps for any help
Leonard husband of Belinda

Hi Paul;
thanks for the prompt reply I used the drivers fromthe OSX disc and reset the printing system 3 times even going to the extent of doing the reset and closing down the computer and the restasting from scratch. No luck at all for some reason the printer could not be found by the add printer function.
The wife dragged me out to the shops today and we ended up getting getting the HP Officjet 6700 Premium it and the MAC work fine together.
thanks for the help
Leonard

  • Printer does not show in printing options

    I have installed adobe reader XI.. In the printing options my new printer is not shown.. all the old printers are available.. i can print in MS office, paint etc.. but the printer is not seen in Adobe Reader XI

    No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
    HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
    their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
    However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
    already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
    prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.

    You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
    PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:

    Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
    but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

  • Airport extreme usb printer does not show on macbook

    I have been trying to set-up a printer on a Airport Extreme through the USB cable.  However, the printer does not show under "Printers and Scanners" and the help on-line has not helped at all. 

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers. 
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • HP printer does not show up as part of the neighborhood in printer utility

    Hi Everybody -- I am trying to connect to a shared HP printer connected on my XP machine. It works fine when trying to connect to it from other pc's, however, when ever i try to connect to it from my MAC, the pc name and printer does not show up as part of the neighborhood in the printer setup utility (which is weird).
    I do have the drivers installed for that particular printer and it works fine with USB connection (HP6110). I know this is not a firewall issue becuase I tried connecting to the printer while disabling the firewall.
    Appreciate any help on this matter.

    Look over the printer sharing articles on iFelix Tech Notes.
    In addition, check the Mac's System Preferences> Sharing> Firewall tab> Advanced button and uncheck 'block unwanted UDP traffic' and "enable stealth mode". On the WinXP computer, go to Control Panels> Administrative Tools> Services and set 'Computer Browser' to manual from automatic.

  • HT4356 Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

    Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

    It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
    Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed.  Sorry.
    You do have some options at this point.
    If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
    If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option.  However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.

  • Printer does not show in Rendezvous in Preinter Setup Utility

    I am using a G4 Ti 15" laptop usually connected wirelessly to an AirPort Extreme BS. Also connected to that BS is a desktop (ethernet), cable modem, and a HP LaserJet 2200 printer. If I connected the printer directly to the laptop, it prints. However, if I try to print wirelessly, it doed not work. In the Printer Setup Utility when I try to add a printer and select Rendezvous, the printer does not showup in the available list.

    Erven,
    Have you followed these instructions from the help pages of Printer Setup Utility?
    Connecting to a network printer
    If your computer is connected to a network, you can use the printers in your local area, including those that use Bonjour (formerly Rendezvous), AppleTalk, and OpenDirectory.
    Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
    Choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer in the dialog that appears, and then click Add.
    The dialog lists shared, Bonjour, AppleTalk, and Open Directory printers. You may need to wait a short while before your printer appears.
    If you don't see your printer, click More Printers, choose your printer's type from the pop-up menu in the dialog that appears, select the printer, and then click Add.
    If the specific type of printer you're using is listed, choose that type. For example, if you're using an Epson AppleTalk printer, you may be able to choose Epson AppleTalk.
    If you choose AppleTalk, another pop-up menu appears that lets you choose the AppleTalk zone for the printer.
    When you select your printer in the Add Printer or More Printers dialog, Mac OS X finds the printer's driver and adds the printer to the Printer pop-up menu. If Mac OS X cannot the printer driver, "Driver not Installed" or "Gimp-print" appears in the model pop-up menu.
    If you still cannot find the printer, it may be an IP printer, and you will need to follow the instructions for how to set up an IP printer.
    Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.

  • Printer does not show completed jobs

    I have an Epson Workforce 30 printer. After printing something, I check the printer icon in the dock to see if the job shows up as “completed.” Nothing appears. What can I do to remedy this situation?
    Thanks.

  • Printer Profiles not showing in Print Dialog

    I cannot seem to see the custom Printer Profiles I have for certain papersin the Print Dialog.
    I have added the Print Profiles to Library > Application Support > Adobe > Color > Profiles (and also in Recommended)
    But in the Print Dialog under Colour Management > Photoshop Handles Colour > Print Profile - they are not showing. I have done things like restarting Photoshop and converting the image to CMYK from RGB.
    I can see the profiles in the Proofing menu and am able to select them.
    Any ideas as without using the profiles my colour management is completely off kilter.
    Also, can I confirm that I am putting the printer profiles in the correct folder?

    Thanks for your response JJMack. I've just found out the problem. It seems that by putting the profiles in the  > Recommended folder as well as in the > Profiles folder this seems to have disabled the profiles from displaying in the print dialog.
    I'm not sure why but they are displaying fine now.
    I'm new to this forum and I wonder if you know if there is a right place or method for sharing this information as I have spent the best part of two hours this afternoon wrestling with this?

  • Printer does not show up in dialog box after being added

    I've done this a million times, but for some reason today after I add a printer it doesn't show up in my list in Print & Fax dialog of system prefs. It shows up when I try to print from all my applications, just not in my add/delete printer list. anyone know what is going on? I also have a co-worker with the same problem. He has added the same xerox printer 3 times, now in his print window there are 3 listed, but none show up in the add/delete printer window.

    Try this:
    1. Open System Preferences
    2. Click Print & Fax
    3. If you see your printer on the left then highlight it and then click the - at the bottom of the box to remove it.
    If you do not see it the progress to step 4.
    4. Click the + at the bottom of the box and the computer will begin looking for connected printers. Once found follow the onscreen instructions. If you cannot locate it then trouble shoot by ensuring the printer is turned on, has a good connection to the computer and if it's still not seen then replace the printer cable and try again.
    There probably isn't any reason to use the software that came with printer.
    Regards,
    Roger

  • Smart Web Printing does not show/print german special characters (äöü)

    I have installes Smart Web Printing on my computer with WIndows 7. I do use a german localization. Selected text is shown and printed correct, except german special characters ä ö ü. They are even not shown correctly in the menues of the application.

    Response to cor-el suggestions:
    I tried what you suggested as far as checking the theme (it's "Default 8.0") and deleting the sessionstore files (there was one .js file, one -1.js file and one .bak file). I still have the same slow response problems (especially typing, it has gone dead on me for a short time twice while typing this replay so far, now a third time) and lost of headers and trailers and some data.
    I did the suggested actions three times just to make sure that I was doing them correctly. On the first try, the sessionstore.js and sessionstore-1.js was more than twice the size of sessionstore.bak. Since doing what was suggested, the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak are, I believe, the same size. I did not write down their size is why I am not certain.
    The printing problem appears to only be with one website which is an investment website which I would prefer not to document here. I print from this website each weekday and I have confirmed that the printing problem started when the upgrade to version 8.0 occurred.
    I need a solution to this or I am going to either go back to IE (Ugh!) or find another browser. The typing delays are an extreme annoyance since I do lots on the Internet including a lot of emailing. The delays also involve the buttons to select functions within a website.
    Is there a way to get back to the version previous to version 8.0?

  • Printer does not show a PPD

    When I select a printer in Illustrator CS6, the PPD doesn't not populate.  I am running on Windows 7 64-bit.  I have tried several different printers and none of them will show the PPD.   I've downloaded the latest drivers for this operating system.  I don't have a problem printing from Word or Adobe Reader.  Illustrator is the only program that doesn't seem to recognize any of the printer drivers.
    Any ideas on what I can do to get Illustrator to see the drivers?

    Buenas Tardes Rose,
    Printers can be a problem sometimes.
    Try this...
    Switch off and disconnect the printer. Use the disk that came with the printer to uninstall the software. Do not reinstall it. Restart your Mac. (Probably not necessary but I'm a great believer of: If in doubt turn it off then on again!) Plug in the USB cable and switch on your printer. Open Printer Setup Utility and see if:
    a) the printer shows
    b) it finds a driver.
    c) it asks you to install a driver
    d) If c) put your disk in.
    ¡Buena suerte!

  • Bought new printer epson Xp-405 but it does not show AirPrint printer any ideas

    Cannot connect to my printer epson Xperia-405 it does no see printer both are on the same wi-fi network, have turned both iPad and printer off but still nothing.

    Here's the AirPrint Guide:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Your printer is on the list, so it should (eventually) work.  Go through the list of things to examine; for example:
    Are you running the latest iOS (version 6.1.2)?
    Is your printer running the latest firmware?

  • Print does not show a selected photo and won't print

    How do I get my photos printed? I select a photo but I get the maessage that no photo was selected.

    I finally called the help desk. I was told that sometimes the catalog needs to be reloaded. Instead of reloading the catalog, i ended up loading my entire library. Over 4200 pictures. This was without any filtering. But now the print feature works.
    Next I will need to figure out how get out all of the duplicates. Set up filters and get organized. I am new at this so after spending over 30 hours watching how to videos I am a little overwhelmed.
    It would be nice if the help desk guy could speak English. Well, English  that I could understand. Poor guy had to repeat everything several times. I asked if he could get me organized. Nope. Had to call back. That means sitting on hold for an hour and a half....but hey I have another 30 days of support. I am going to learn this. Although I am now convinced that I am dain bramaged and beyond help. Now how to get the e-mail notification turned off.. 50 e-mails a day. Isn't this fun.
