Printer error 9672!!

every time I try to add my printer on the printer set up utility it responds error 9672. I am using an HP photosmart 3180 printer and my airport express is connected with the printer.
please help, its driving me crazy!

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with the AirPort base stations. The following iFelix website list the known compatible printers. A quick look at the site didn't reveal yours. However, there is a link for "General HP Printer Support" that might prove helpful.

Can't Define Epson R2400 Printer, Error -9672

I had happily been using my Epson Stylus Photo R2400 (firewire connection) on my G4 PowerBook ever since we purchased it four or five months ago. Then, suddenly, it stopped printing. Eventually, I deleted the printer definition and found that I could not redefine it in Printer Setup Utility. Here is what happens:
1) I go into printer setup utility and see the "E" printer connected.
2) I click on "More Printers" and choose "Epson Firewire" from the drop down. Stylus Photo 2400 (FW) appears.
3) I select the printer and then click on the Add button.
4) A dialog box appears with a generic error message and Error -9672
5) Console tells me:
Error -9672, badly formatted ticket XML - Bad XMLStart:

Feb 5 16:30:07 Gary-Bebermans-Computer crashdump[244]: crash report written to: /Users/garyb/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/PrintJobMgr.crash.log
6) The crash log is, to me, indecipherable.
Here is what I have done to fix it:
1) Downloaded the latest Epson installer (G4 version). Used it to uninstall the 2400 drivers and then reinstall them.
2) Repair permissions (both before and after the reinstall).
3) Run just about every option in the Printer Repair Utility (a shareware utility I found mentioned in another thread).
4) Define the printer using a USB connection (both from the Printer List menu and from More Printers/Epson USB).
Nothing seems to change. The only thing I haven't done is reset my printing system, which I am afraid to do since I worry I could be left with no working printers.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

No go.
I downloaded the combo updater, ran it, restarted, and then tried to define the printer.
Same experience.
BTW, I tried to define it to another computer (again, a G4 PowerBook, but this one was running 10.4.7). It worked fine.
Thanks much for the suggestion.

Printer error -9672 Please Help!

No matter what I use I get this error when I try to load the printer driver... Downloaded new printer drivers from Epson, no change. I have a Epson 4000 and ditching it it not an option... Do I need to go back to an earlier OS version?

It is a networked printer and is on the network via ethernet. The Epson Printer Utility can see it, so that is not the problem and it comes up when I search for printers but when I load the printer driver I get this error message.

Canon iP4200 - an error occured while trying to add the printer Error -9672

It seems I am one of the hoard of folks unable to add my printer (in my case, a canon iP4200) to the Airport Extreme network.
I have repaired permissions
I have reinstalled the lastest driver
I have read through the discussions
The airport was sold in part because "You'll be able to print to your USB printer with it."
Is there an Airport expert out there who can fix this?

What firmware does your base station have?
What version of the Canon driver are you using?

Getting an Error:-9672 when trying to add printer through airport express

Hi everyone, I have a canon colour laser printer (LBP5000) works fine when I pop the usb straight in to the mac, but when I try setting it up by plugging the usb into my airport express I get an Error:-9672 this happens when setting up the printer in print & fax system prefs.
I have another printer set up on a different airport express, which works fine.... could this be a problem?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Lee

Hello Lee,
When you select the LBP5000 in the Printer Borwser > Default Browser view, the Print Using menu should automatically set. If it isn't, and you are having to manually set the printer, then that will be a likely cause for the error (which usually occurs when the wrong driver is selected).
Try turning off the Airport Express and the printer. After a few seconds turn the printer on first and after it finishes making it's warm up sounds, turn on the Express. Now try to add the printer via the Default Browser view.
If that doesn't help, check your Airport Express firmware version. Some previous postees have found that their problems are resolved by updating their firmware on their Airport Extreme/Express.
Regards,
Paul

"Error:-9672" Printer Setup Utility

Trying to install a Canon Pixma iP6000D via wireless network - getting error message "Error:-9672" -says printer setup utility is not responding/working. Successful installed an HP (direct connection, though).
Confusing to me, since this printer (the Canon) was connected to the wireless network before. Had problems getting it to print, so I deleted the printer and can't re-install it.
Any help or leads are appreciate

I was having the same problem with my HP 3180, MacBook and APE. I googled the error and found this link to some helpful advice that instructs you to uninstall the printer software and select a different built in print driver. It worked for me and took just minutes! hope this helps you too...

Getting Error -9672 when trying to add printer wirelessly

Hi,
I seem to be getting an error -9672 when trying to add my HP PSC 1410 wirelessly to my airport network. I've tried on my intel iMac and my mac book but I'm getting the same error. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
ANY help is much appreciated.
Matt.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. A quick look at the iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility List doesn't show this particular model. This 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 may find the following Apple article helpful.

Error -9672 when trying to connect Officejet 5510v USB printer

I have an HP Officejet 5510v printer connected to my airport extreme. My G4 Mini can connect and print fine. I have an Intel Powerbook that can see the printer listed as available under Bonjour, but I get a "Error -9672" problem connecting to selected printer message. It's using the HP version 3.3 all in one printer driver.

Forgot to mention this important difference between the working G4 Mini and the non-working Intel PB - The Mini is directly connected to the Airport by ethernet cable while the PB is wireless.

Error -9672 when trying to add HP F380 as bonjour printer

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but it appears the HP F380 is not compatible with the newest Airport Extreme (with all the updates). After connecting it to the Airport the Printer Setup Utility can see the printer as a bonjour printer (good) but when I go to add it as a printer it fails with a -9672 error (bad). In the console the following error message is logged.
Error -9672, badly formatted ticket XML - Bad XMLStart:
Bad XMLEnd
HP says 'their printers may work, but the configuration is unsupported'. So I'm posting here in the hopes Apple will try and work around the issue in an Airport update.

I too had the same problem with my HP F380 Printer. There is a way to get it to print over AE, but it will no scan. Here are the steps, hope it helps.
1. Install Footmatic-Rip-3.34.2.15.ppc.dmg, espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg, hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg (all found at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs)
4. Go to Add printer.
5. Under "Print Using:" Select HP, then select HP DeskJet F300 Footmatic/hpijs (recommended).
6. Click Add
That's it.
Be sure to install the .dmg(s) in the order listed above, no big deal but hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg won't install without the other two.

Error:-9672 when trying to add HP Photosmart C3180 printer.

Printer: HP Photosmart C3180
"An error occured while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-9672"
Printer works fine if connected directly to my iMac. But, through "Airport Extreme Base Station", I get the error.
Anyone with same printer having same problem? Anyone solutions?
iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I found the same thing out yesterday and did the same solution.
One issue should be noted. The quality of the print is much worse since we are not using the correct print driver. Works fine for standard unimportant text printing, but really can't be used for printing photos.
Connect the printer directly to the computer USB and print a photograph using the real print driver, then connect wirelessly using the above method and print the same photo. The difference is dramatic.
It also seems to overuse black ink when hooked up through the Airport, and the printer light blinks for a while after printing is done.
Anyway, I plan on leaving it hooked up wirelessly for convenience sake, but when good quality is needed I will attach it directly to the USB port.
You can verify my findings and let others know if you find the same thing I found.
Good luck, and lets hope there are more compatible printers available in the future.

Error 9672 when adding wireless HP printer

I am trying to add a HP 1315 printer for wireless printing through a Airport Express. I am using a MacBook Pro. Each time I attempt to add the printer, I receive a "error -9672". I am using the most uptdate HP driver downloaded from the HP site. The computer prints without problem when connected with the USB cable. Thoughts?

Nugen!!!
I could kiss you!!!
After almost 24 hours struggling (including a 40 minute phone call to Apple support), your post got my HP psc 1110 working over my new Airport Express, many many thanks!!!

Airport Express error 9672 on ip2200 printer

Hi folks,
Can't seem to get the ip2200 connected by USB to my Airport Express. I keep getting the error 9672 message, and I have tried following the manual, done an update on the Canon drivers, checked all the details on AE Admin, and they all seem hunky dory. When I go to connect the printer on Bonjour, this message keeps coming up. Can anyone assist me please.
Cheers
Kurt

BTW - everything else is working fine, internet and iTunes are working.

Error 9672 when trying to "re-add" HP Deskjet 3900 printer

Hi, I've seen the discussion about the Error 9672. But the answers don't really help. I get the same errormessage when trying to re-add the HP 3900 deskjet printer that I had to delete because it was not working properly. Now I just can't add it again... I can find it as an available Bonjour printer. But what can I do next? I haven't really been able to find out if this is a commonly known Apple bug, or if it is a bug that HP should be working to fix. Can anyone help? The printer works fine when connected directly via USB by the way.
