Printer Driver Installation Requires Rosetta...Hmmm?

Hello, I have a new Macbook Air with SL OSX 10.6.6 and the CD drive. I also bought an EPSOM printer (all in the Netherlands). On installing the driver for the printer, a warning came up saying thta if I did not first install Rosetta then the installation may not be enitrely successful. So I have hunted around for this elusive Rosetta and tried to understad what the heck it is... Beats me.
Any help would be much appreciated with some advise on How I can get the driver installed anyway whether or not with Rosetta.
Thanks
PS. I do not have access to any of the other computers for the time being.

Rosetta is the interface that allows Power PC apps to run on Intel machines and was first introduced in 2006 when Apple switched to Intel processors. You don't need it unless you cannot find an updated printer driver for your printer(s) to use in Snow Leopard. Apple updates their drivers all of the time and the manufacturers do also.
I suggest that you go to the support site for each of your printers and check to see if you have the latest. Your printers may also be included in the drivers that came with your Mac. Apple has instructions for installing printers. It is easier than it used to be..... If you put in the effort, your printers will have most of the designed features working properly. If you don't, you may be limited in what and how you can print.

LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn Printer Driver Installation Failed

Got a brand new, fresh out of the box, HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn. Failed to install the driver that came with it on my computer Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I downloaded latest driver (full version) and still failed to install. The installation stopped at 75% repeatedly. Printer itself seems to work fine. I printed the Self Test / Configuration page. I am connecting/wired with the router.
I tried the installation many many times. Hope one of you have a solution for this problem.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Create a new user account. Create a user account.
Reinstall the software. HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127/128 Series Full Software and Drivers.

Printer driver installation problems... ARRRRGGGHHH

I can't install the printer drivers for my two printers: a Canon MX860 and a Samsung ML2950 (OS 10.8.2 on a 2010 MacBook Pro). In both cases I have downloaded the drivers and they have been installed to /Library/Printers/... When I try to add the Canon printer, for example, the installer says "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to downoad it and add this printer." I click "Add" and after several seconds get the message "Can't install the software for the Canon MX860 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." When I select "Use: Select Printer Software..." the subsequent list is completely empty. When I select "Use: Other.." I navigate to where the driver is - in this case "/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/PDEs/CanonIJPDE.bundle," select it, click "Open" and immediately I'm back to "The selected printer software is available..." In other words, it ignores my selection. EXACTLY the same thing happens with the Samsung. This is very frustrating, to say the least. *** is going on here? The thing is, both printers were successfully installed before. I removed them and am simply trying to reinstall them (don't ask why). I've had numerous Macs over 12 years and I'm starting to hate them.

A couple of things to try. In the Print&Scan preference panel click in the window that lists the printers. Right-click (control-click) and select "Reset printing system." Then try to add the printers again.
You should not have downloaded and installed the printer drivers manually. That can screw things up. The location for drivers may have changed in Mountain Lion for all we know. All printer drivers should be installed only through the Print&Scan preference panel. All drivers are now supplied to Apple by the printer manufacturers and are customized for the OS they are being installed on. Just let the Print&Scan panel do its thing.

Hp Photosmart All In One d110a Printer Driver Installation Failure

I have tried over and over to install my printer wirelessly (as it is usb connected to my desktop that is a piece of crap and freezes all the time) to my Toshiba laptop. I have tried everything I can think of or have read, but nothing works! I am so frustrated and I just need to print my work, as I am a college student. I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled numerous times, I have redownloaded drivers and everything over and over, I feel like I've tried everything and it just fails. It doesn't even tell me it failed. I have to go into the control panel, into the printers and devices menu, and look at the printer icon (as microsoft word doesn't even show it's there at all). It says the network is connected but on down it says needs troubleshooting, yet the only issue it says it has is to install the full feature drivers and software which I have done so many times I'm ready to just throw the printer out the window. It just doesn't install or something, I don't know. Help please!!!!!!!!!!!

Try downloading the software from here after deleting what you've already installed from /Library/Printers/hp:

You could also use the AirPrint driver:

Windows update error 800f0246 when installing printer driver

I have Win 7 pro 64 bit and an HP3520 printer. HP site says a Windows 7 driver is available via windows update. When I go into Windows update, the drivers shows up under optional downloads. When I try to download and install it it fails with error code 800f0246. All other updates install fine. I tried multiple times with the same error.
When I go into device manager the printer is listed under other devices with an icon indicating a driver issue. When I try to update the driver it finds the downloaded driver that Windows update downloaded. I select it and it fails.
I have Windows 7 beta still on my laptop and the printer driver installs from windows update just fine.
Any ideas?

No go. Uninstalled, rebooted, tried to reinstall again, still failed. Fails when the printer is disconnected as well. The HP site does not have a driver for manual install. Any links for a driver lead to here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01874792&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=305968 Those steps do not work because the driver in windows update fails to install.

Problem with installing HP LaserJet 1102 printer driver

Hi there,
I have got realy annoying problem with printer driver installation on HP LaserJet 1102.
Basically I downloaded driver from the website and tried to install printer. When the installation is almost done, the message pops up(image attached).
I've checked printer spooler service, tried almost everything.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks
Minhoquinho

I would suggest going into your control panel and uninstalling everything associated with the p1102, rebooting your computer and trying a fresh install.
If this does not solve the install issue, please repost and error message along with your OS so that we may better help you.

Konica Minolta Bizhub 250 printer driver on Leopard problems

Hello All,
I upgraded to Leopard and lost my printer drivers for both of my printers. I have been able to restore my HP7410 wireless via my airport at home. However, my office printer is a Konica Minolta Bizhub 250K also working through an airport extreme. My problem is that I have tried to download the driver for the Bizhub with the disc that came with the unit. After I go through the download process it says I've downloaded successfully but can not find it on my hard drive, even with MAC's support. I have searched the Konica Minolta support site only to find older versions of the driver. I finally got the (KONICAMINOLTA350105.pkg) to show up on my hard drive but when I open it it only takes me back through installing the (KONICA MINOLTA 350/250/200 Printer Driver Installer for Mac OS X (10.5)) process again without installing a driver.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
DG

Hello DG,
Mac OS X printer installers typically copy files to ./Library/Printers/vendor_name. If the driver is simply a PPD, then it will be copied to ./Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ (note the leading period refers to your hard drive)
I downloaded the driver installer for 10.5 that you mentioned. It creates the folder KONICAMINOLTA under ./Library/Printers/ and has two subfilters, PDEs and filter. I then selected to add an IP printer with a dummy IP address and then searched for the 250 via the Print Using menu, by typing C250. The KONICA MINOLTA C250 PS(P) was then displayed, which I selected to Add.
Now, the issue for you will be how do you connect to this printer via Airport. If the printer is connected via the Ethernet port of the AEBS, then you should be able to add via IP and select either LPD or HP Jetdirect-Socket (which is aka Port 9100 RAW). After entering these details you can then browse for the C250.
Hope this helps,
PaHu

How do install an OS 9 print driver if I can't startup in 9?

That pretty much sums up the issue. My G4 Powerbook will run classic but won't startup in 9. I have a print driver installer for 9 but it returns odd errors when I try to run the installer.
Thanks

If the printer in question has a Mac OS X driver, you don't need to install the Mac OS 9 driver into a system which is being used as Classic for Mac OS X 10.4; instead, use the LaserWriter 8 driver in the Chooser.

Purchasing new HP Photosmart printer which will require new OS X Mountain Lion driver software. Which steps do I take to install new printer, old printer HP still on iMac.

Purchasing new HP Photosmart printer which will require new OS X Mountain Lion driver, which installation steps do I take. Old printer still on iMac.

Hi Carol 22,
Thanks for the post. Depending upon the printer model, print drivers may be available from ASU. If not, then go to hp.com and download Mt. Lion drivers to your iMac. After you complete the hardware setup of the printer, if connecting wireless, then connect the printer to your network and then complete the installation and add the printer. Then you can go back and remove your old printer. I hope this helps...Good Luck!

HP LaserjetPro M277dw printer and windows vista driver installation issues

I ust got the hot off the press HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277 which seems to be a miraculous machine. Just one problem. When trying to download and install the printer driver it goes through the whole process and then tells you the driver will not work with this operating system.
Hmmm. It says on the HP website that this is the correct software for this machine. I have been through at least 10 HP support people up to Level 3 support and hours of online work with HP people trying to install the software. The word I get back is that it will not work with my machine. So I am wondering if I have a Windows Vista 64 bit machine, and the software says it is for that machine, but it wont load, what machine will it work with? The last person I worked with just told me I will need to get a new computer. I thought I just bought a printer that would work with my computer, and now I am told i have to buy a new one?
Any ideas on how to get the software to load? I have some functionality, such as wireless network printing that one technician was able to get to work, but no scanning. Another technician changed all the permissions for installing various programming segments to "everyone" but that didnt work either. He had it so messed up that the it would not print anymore wirelessly either. I had to restore to an earlier date after that guy got off my computer so i could at least get some functionality back.
So, without the driver, I cannot scan to this computer, and i really dont know what other good things i am missing out on because I have never experienced the correct configuration......please help if you can. I need to send the machine back within a certain time period, and I really do think it is the solution for my business, if I could get it to work......Thanks!
PS Direct connection to computer and downloading software that way does't work either.....cannot use the printer directly connected.....

Hi,
Is it the following one ? If not, please download then try again:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL60646/kj-145845-1/HP_LaserJet_M277_PCL6_Legacy_Print_Dri...
By the way, what is the model of your Lasejet M277 printer ? Must be M277 something.
Regards.
