Printer Not Showing Up In Add List again.

I made a mistake and accidently deleted my printer from the Printer List (I was removing other printers). It doesn't show up when I try to add it again.
Here is what I have done:
1) Removed the com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist and com.apple.print.PrintCenter.plist
2) Downloaded the latest drives from the HP site (It's an HP Officejet Pro K550)
3) Logged out/Restarted (several times)
A funny thing has also occurred.
The drop down that usually holds the printers that can be added has looks like this:
AppleTalk
Bluetooth
Windows Printing
HP IP Printing
The blanks above are present. There are 3 blanks above the HP IP Printing and one blank below.
The blanks can be selected but not added (I thought it might have been a naming conflict and the printer was just not listing).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

You don't say if you installed after downloading the Printer you deleted, but I suspect it's one not showing, and that you need to reinstall.

  • Printer not showing up on add printer

    We have a network of both PCs and Macs and a central Sharp Copier.  We have the latest driver for Yosemite but the copier is not showing up in the add printer list.  When we try setting the Macs up through the IP menu it says unable to verify printer, etc.
    The printer sets up fine on the PCs.
    The printer IP shows up on an IP scanner but not on our Motorolla Router/Modem from our ISP (Broighthouse).
    The Sharp guys have been out here and have determined the issue is not on the printer side and suggested contacting Apple.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Ok...so I have solved my problem. The new router was blocking port 631. I forward this port to the desktop ip address and all is well in windows printing land.

  • Printer NOT showing up in "ADD PRINTER"

    Hi,
    I am installing the software for HP Officejet Pro 8610.  I am at the section where I must create a print queue. I followed the instructions and clicked the "Add Printer" button. It says a dialog will appear listing available printers on my local network. 
    Well the box came up and there is nothing in it. It says in the instructions that "It may take a few moments for your printer to appear in the list." However, I have waited for a VERY long time and nothing is coming up.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @kbyers117 
    I saw your post about the issues you are having with installing your Officejet 8610 on your Mac.
    Please let me know which Mac OS X you are running, and how you are connecting the printer to your computer (usb, wireless, or ethernet).
    I will then look into some steps to lend you a hand.
    Thank you

  • Bonjour printer not showing up in Printer List

    I am having trouble adding a bonjour printer (HP PSC 1610). The printer is not showing up in the list of printers under System Preferences > Print & Fax. I was able to add the printer by clicking on the "+" sign. It found the bonjour printer and I clicked "Add." Everything seemed fine, but the printer is not showing up in the list of available printers.
    When I'm in Printer Setup Utility, the Printer shows up when I click View > Show Printer List. I just can't select it when I'm in an application and trying to print.
    I can print to the printer from my G5 which still has OS 10.3.9.
    MacBook Pro 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I think the reason you haven't got responses is that no one has experience with that. Here are some generic troubleshooting steps to try, one at a time:
    Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
    Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
    Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
    If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
    Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
    Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.

  • Canon MP210 just will not show up in Add Printer

    Trying to help a friend get new (to her) printer added in OS 10.5.8... There isn't even a network involved, just trying to add it as simple USB.
    It's a Canon Pixma MP210 and wasn't in the printer descrips, so i downloaded and installed the most recent driver for it from Canon, which is noted as good for 10.5 etc (and is CUPs to boot).
    its Installer runs just fine... but printer still does not show up in Add Printer, despite restarts, printer attached, not attached, whatever. printer is not in list, "Print Using..." shows no options, and "Add" is greyed out.
    The printer itself was never used by its former owner, it's like new, so it's not likely broken.
    i attempted to repair permissions, and ran into no-go there too. It sticks on acquiring the database, doesn't even get to a progress bar (let it run for almost an hour, no change). Same thing when i start it up/run repair permissions from retail OS 10.5 DVD.
    And this on a smallish (60GB) hard drive that has barely anything on it ....she mostly just websurfs and emails. Tho the finder is a bit slow, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the mac (it's an iBook G4) and it passes disk first aid fine.
    Suggestions?

    Any idea why Permissions Repair doesn't progress, neither from hard disk nor from DVD? From other posts i've researched here, repaired permissions apparently allowed some canon printers to show themselves.
    If Repair Permissions is not completing then something would be amiss with the OS. But I've never a repair permissions resolve a printer not appearing in the Default browser view. It could certainly fix an issue with the printer being seen but the driver not being found. But for the printer not to be visible in the Default view when it is connected to the Mac via USB, then I don't believe a permissions repair will resolve this - especially also if the printer is not visible in System Profiler. Personally I found a reset of the printing system rather than a repair disk permissions to be more helpful.

  • Adding shared printers? Network printer not showing up in list

    I have a network printer not showing up in the Bonjour Printer Wizard. There is not a place to add a printer to this list. Does my network printer need to be installed under the Windows side as well, or can I share it using Bonjour? I'm confused as to how the shared printer program works. Also, my Adobe "print to pdf" option shows up as a printer, but how do I change the file destination location? It doesn't give me an option to change the "saved to" location. I am using these printers through Parallels in AutoCad, and that should be the only reason I will need to share printers. But I am in AutoCad a good deal of time, so I need to know how to quickly print my drawings.

  • WMA Files do not show in my library list

    When I right click on my music and send to my ipod it transfer over but it does not show on my music list. It show under contents folder as "other" for disc space and does not show up on my music list. HELP

    Faith, Are they unprotected WMA files? (They will be unprotected if you ripped them from CD using Windows Media Player, but they will be protected if you bought them from an online store with the "Plays For Sure" logo, such as musicmatch.com).
    Assuming they are unprotected, add them to your iTunes library. iTunes does not add them directly, but rather creates a new file in your preferred import format (mp3 or AAC). Do one file at first, and make sure it works as you wish before you add whole bunches.
    If they are protected, life is more complicated. Use WMP to burn them to audio CD. Then import from the audio CD into iTunes.

  • Items on ipod that do not show up on Device list, want to remove them

    A pod cast and a video I downloaded from itunes and copied to my ipod are on my ipod but when I connect the ipod they do not show up on the lists of items on the device. I can see and play them on the ipod, but cannot find them on the list of items on the ipod when I connect to itunes...
    I want to remove them and can't
    baffled....

    They should be able to help you. You must have the iPod set to manually managed. Podcasts generally work best when set to auto-sync.
    To find these files it is easiest to create a smart playlist on the iPod itself with the right rules to find the files while it is set to manually manage. To delete files through a smart playlist you will need to hold the "Alt" key on the keyboard then hit the Delete key. Atl/Delete is for Mac but may be a combination of Delete and Shift, Control, or Windows key on Windows PCs.

  • Command is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device

    Hi Everyone,
    I have developed a midlet in which I have designed buttons or links using Custom Items. Command associated with the custom item is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device 8300 Curve.
    For example - My login screen have SUBMIT and RESET custom items. I have designed them to be appear like links [no matter how I design them]. I have also added a command and listener to it like as below:
    CMD_SUBMIT = new Command(text, Command.ITEM, 1);
    setDefaultCommand(CMD_SUBMIT);
    setItemCommandListener(this);
    On running the midlet, my login screen appears. But when I travarse to the SUBMIT item, and press the menu button, my command doesnt appear in the list of commands. It shows only the Close command. I am not getting why this is happening.
    Please do me a favour and help me to sort out this. On other phones like 8520 curve the command is appearing in to the list when I press the menu button.
    Regards

    Is there any way to sort out this issue? I am not getting the cause
    behind this, and I am observing this only on 8300 Curve. On most of
    there phones [though not tested on every one] it is working as expected.
    Please guide me to proceed further. I am desperately waiting for the
    response. Regards.

  • Ipod Not Showing Up In The List In Itunes

    Hey, ive had problems with my ipod lately. basically when ever i plug my ipod into my computer, it appears in mycomputer and itunes also opens. i have run the diagnostic in the help menu in itunes and it is detecting my ipod HOWEVER it will not show up in the list on the right hand side!!!! I have tried all the things suggested by apple such as reinstalling and many other things like ending the process etc. no luck.. plz help!

    Have you tried simply resetting hte ipod while it's connected to the PC?
    If that doesn't help, here is an article with a long list of other stuff to investigate.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    You need to expand each link and read all the stuff. For example, under
    "Connect iPod to a high-powered USB port"
    the 4th line down says
    +If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.+
    That is a step you wouldn't want to skip, as it can really narrow things down.

    it's a known issue. Everyone is experiencing this issue. Give it time for Apple to rectify the issue.
