Printer Setup Utility in Leopard

Just to be clear, has Printer Setup Utility in Applications>Utilities been removed? I am installing new Epson drivers and Epson told me I have to go into Printer Setup Utility and click on "reset". I cannot find any of this functionality. Is Epson incorrect? (a distinct possibility)
Thank you.

Well, it should look something like this:
And if you don't care for right clicking, you can also control (on your keyboard) click. Same thing. Or you could set up your mighty mouse so the respective buttons have different functions:

Print Center / Printer Setup Utility missing

My refurb iMac had its entire logic board replaced several weeks ago. Since then I have not been able to use my Epson Stylus Photo R280 printer. Turns out that somehow my utilities called Print Center and also Printer Setup Utility have disappeared from my computer. Because it is a holiday, I am unable to to contact Apple Care by phone. I tried to locate a place on my Leopard install disk where it lists zillions of single items which I could chose to install, but can not find it. I am hoping that someone in here can direct me where to look. My Brother HL 2140 is working fine. I'm stumped.

Got a reply from Epson. Even though I originally told them the printer was hooked up to a wireless Airport Extreme Base Station, they seemed to ignore that fact. But, finally they came up with this excuse:
Response (Stephan R) 08/21/2008 11:19 AM
The Epson Status Monitor requires constant bidirectional communication with the Host for it to function properly. The Airport Extreme only allows a one way communication, so when the Epson Status Monitor tries to update the Host with the proper ink levels you will receive a communication error.
So, I guess that you can't use the print utility from a wireless connection, I hooked the printer to one of my Macs and added the printer to the Utility there. The utility works there, but I have to reconnect the printer to the Airport Extreme and visa versa to make they whole thing functional. Oh, well.

Locating my printer setup utility

I dont seem to have a printer setup utility how do i get one to add my new printer to?
did it go the way of my virex when i loaded leopard? cause im getting this error msg to list the new printer in the setup utility and my search provides no printer setup utility. is there a way to get this as a download?

Yes ... here is a list of what I have done:
loaded the driver from supplied disk for printer lexmark x5470
followed directions of error msg and looked for the printer setup utility ... could not find
called lexmark (2ce)
1st time said I needed to down load the driver from their web site, which I did ... no resolution
2nd time they said I needed aforementioned utility and for me to contact Mac
(Mac has no phone support available for me or live online support so here I am at the discussion
boards)
reloaded Leopard ... still did not get a file called printer setup utility ... printer worked briefly and
then back to receiving error message. mainly from printing attempts from the web (only file I
could print from HD was a .tif file. all other .doc or .rtf would not print.)
opened disc utility and verified disc permissions ... some errors related to lexmark then repaired
tried moving the downloaded patch from lexmark around to applications and then to the lexmark
folder its self but nothing seemed to help
Is there not a Mac tech out there that could help?

Printer Setup Utility Crashes every time I try to open it.

If I cant install printers, then I cant use 10.5. This is a production machine at a print shop. Any ideas?

That's the way I have always set up my printers. I did not even know there was another way. Well, now there isn't anymore.
I just found that app on my Tiger. Never noticed it, never used it.
Interesting. I guess it was simply a matter of removing duplication.
I can only assume Leopard forgot to delete it in this case, or somehow it got installed after Leopard was installed.

"Printer Setup Utility" is missing...can I download it somewhere?

I recently "uninstalled" my HP printer's software. (Photosmart C4180) I've been having trouble printing, and have had to reinstall the software twice in the past several months to get it working again. However, now I can't get it to work at all. I've searched my entire hard drive, and there is no "Printer Setup Utility" to be found. I DO recall accessing it earlier, when checking out my Utilities folder. Somehow it has now disappeared. I can't seem to find a site where I can simply re-download another Printer Setup Utility. Anyone have suggestions? I recently had a "mini-stroke," and it's pretty hard for me to focus on an annoying problem like this for very long. Eventually, I may be able to upgrade to OS 10.5- Leopard, but can't afford it now. So meanwhile- I'm stuck with what I have. Thanks! Dan

I don't recall for sure - you may be able to get Printer Setup utility by downloading the 10.4.11 Combo Updater from Apple and re-Updating with that. If not, there is a utility called Pacifist that allows you to reinstall individual files from your Install DVD - get it here:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743
PS- I love Apple (worked for them a couple of years) - but Leopard (10.5) is beta software. There are more printing problems than with any release since 10.1. Don't go there until they have fixed the problems.

Printer Setup Utility.app

Is there no Printer Setup Utility.app in Utilities with SL? I can't remember if there was with Leopard.

Same in Leopard?
The utility was moved to System Preferences in Mac OS X 10.5. Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier have it in the Utilities folder.

Printer Setup Utility always crashes- and am getting weird printer behavior

Just installed 10.5 on a fresh internal drive- machine is G5 2X2- settings imported from a 10.4 installation on another drive. Printer is a Brother HL-5170DN
If I try to print from any app, the app doesn't crash, as has been reported by others, but the printer behavior is strange. I added the printer from the Print and Fax control pane, which saw the printer and appeared to be happy. But when I try to print any test document, the printer starts printing an error message on every sheet in its tray, literally running through the whole stack and then complaining it's out of paper, even though the document to be printed was only one page. Have never seen anything like that. The error message printed on paper is: ERROR NAME; undefined COMMAND; y OPERAND STACK;
Cannot launch Printer Setup Utility- always crashes. Have tried reseting printer system and rebooting, but no luck. It seems to be complaining that a file called "_CPLPPDGetFileInfo" is missing. The error log when I try to launch Printer Setup Utility is:

Thanks for the helpful info. I had upgraded to Leopard using Archive & Install and had an alias to the Printer Setup Utility from Tiger, which I kept trying to use not realizing that this now pointed to the old version in the Previous Systems folder.
Now I've deleted the whole thing and will remember to use the System Preference panel to configure my printers.

Need help to find printer setup utility

I recently bought my first Mac and have slowly been adding to it over the last couple of weeks. Today I added a new printer that I wish to connect wirelessly. The printer is a Brother MFC-3360. I installed the software that came with the printer and had the printer connected directly to the Mac Book. It printed just fine.
I then disconnected the USB cable and plugged it into the Extreme Base station. It failed to print. According to the Extreme manual, I need to open printer setup utility, located in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Then from there I need to add the printer.
The problem is, I have no printer setup utility. Is there another place where it might be located?
Any other ideas will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Found problem. Went to Sys prefs -> Printers and Fax -> removed my printer and re-installed. Works like a charm.

Why doesn't the HP printer show up in the printer setup utility?

Can't understand why the HP2100 TN laserjet printer that is networked(ethernet) via a Snow basestation does not automatically show up in my list of printers. I also downloaded HP's drivers for it.
My boyfriend's Powerbook running 10.3 is able to automatically see it, and it showed up as "shared" on my computer when his laptop is up and running. I tried Appletalk etc. He got it running using IP printing and having the IP address, but he told me it should have just showed up.
I'm new to the Mac so I don't understand this. According to the config page he printed Appletalk is active on the printer its selected on my networking page.
Any help apprciated.

HP Laserjet 6p is not recognized in Printer Setup Utility

I bought recently used HP Laserjet 6p printer and connected my PB to it's Apple Talk port via AsanteTalk Box. After I installed the HP 6p printer driver (downloaded from the HP site) I've tried several times to find the printer in the Printer Setup Utility but it doesn't appear on it! I've even downloaded a printer driver for MacOS 9 and tried to print in Classic environment but can't find any HP printer in the Chooser. Is there any solution for this problem?
I'll be very thankful for any suggestions.

Apple included the Gimp-Print driver "HP Laserjet 6 Series" for that printer. Does that show up?

Epson 4800 Ethernet IPP Network Cant Add PRINTER SETUP UTILITY

Greetings!
Any known issues?
Does anyone have this working??
I am having a time TRYING to ADD a new Epson 4800 printer, Epson Ethernet card onto new Mactel laptop and new quad G5 (both 10.4.7).
Epson NetConfig Utility sees the printer and set an IPP address.
However, Apple PRINTER SETUP UTILITY Add IP printer isn't working.
I had qualified Epson support taking me through the steps...he said some issues with the Intel books, but that doesn't explain why the G5 isn't working.
Three hours yesterday and I'm back on it later today...any tips/info appreciated.

Hi all,
I recently bought an Epson Stylus DX4850 and I'll be damed if I get the thing installed on my Intel based Mac! This is driving me mad, I've been told that it is compatable. I've downloaded all the drivers from the Epson website but when I go to add the printer it's not listed. Does this mean that I need to use a different driver or gimp driver?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and would prevent me from going insane!
Many thanks, Jon

That was the next question. I just went through 5 hours of frustration with a new printer and cable on a Canon MP780. The cable was bad. It works great with a good cable.

CAN'T GET PRINTER TO ADD IN PRINTER SETUP UTILITY

I've recently purchased a Epson DX4850 printer for use on a Mac using 10.3.9. I installed without problem and it worked fine for first 4 days. Then the driver seemed to disappear. I tried to readd through printer setup utility but it came up with message "SERVER ERROR SERVICE UNAVAILABLE". I tried reinstalling, redownloading driver from Epson website, deleting prefernces and reinstalling but it wouldn't work.
I don't get the message anymore but when I try to add printer it says its found printer driver do I want to refresh the screen but then when I click ok nothing happens.
Under Epson USB it's blank and under USB it has Stylus driver with a ? and not installed.
I've had the printer checked and that works fine.
CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ?

Sorry Hirsty I can't help but just to go on the list that I"m having similiar problems with my Canon ip4200. I'm running 10.3.7 and can't even find the drivers even though I've installed them from the disc and then from a download. Still won't show up.

Printer setup utility freezes when I try to add drivers

I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 all-in-one printer which worked fine until a few weeks ago. My best guess as to why it stopped working is that I let my hard drive fill up and some data got corrupted/overwritten (I've had numerous problems incuding my System Folder becoming 'unblessed' which necessitated a reinstall).
When I tried to print there were no drivers recognized. If I checked in home>library>printers I could find what appeared to be the driver (Stylus Photo RX500) but opening that would bring up a message it wasn't in my list of printers. Trying to add the printer to the list gave the message that the driver wasn't found. In the Finder the driver was listed as 372KB. In my cloned external HD the same file was listed as 408KB. Copying over the larger file to my internal didn't solve the problem.
I went to the Epson site and found a driver which was only listed for OS10.2 and a driver to Intel Macs (I have a G4 PB). I downloaded the 10.2 driver and installed it (408KB). Now when I open the printer setup utility EPSON USB is listed as an option but when I click on that the utility freezes. I've tried restarting and repairing permissions but still no go.
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. TIA.

Ohayo gozaimasu,
I saw what was available on the US site, so went to the Epson UK site, where they show one driver for OSX - PowerPC, for the RX500, it's version 1.9b versus the 1.7 on the US site. The driver is a 7.9mb download. Looking at the other English sites around the world, 1.9b seems to be the lastest OSX PPC driver.
The link is http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDownload.aspx?lng=en-GB&ID=19449&data=6D58D 013F2B22854B9450E1814C134D338E0C605169D8D398A3275D13F8B5BB5
Perhaps that will work better for you.

Printer Setup Utility will not allow new driver to be added

I just bought a Canon Pixma MP960, installed the drivers and then downloaded the driver from their website. When I go to add a new driver in Printer Setup Utility--i highlight the MP960 connected thru USB, but the 'add' feature is not lit up. When i have it search for new drivers, it detects a new driver, but when I hit 'add'--Printer Setup Utility "unexpectedly quits" every time. The only drivers in there are beta thingies that do not work w/ my printer.
The Canon tech guy says that there is a problem with my Printer Setup Utility--but i can't seem to find a solution online. I don't know much about macs, but can I update the Printer Utility program or something? help!

Part of the problem might be if you actually have more than one version of the driver for the printer installed on the computer. Check the drivers at Mac OS X disk/Library/Printers/Canon/ and make sure there is only one plugin for the printer. If you have more than one, trash both and download and install only the driver from Canon that is compatible for Mac OS X 10.4.x. After you install the driver, run Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility. If you have only one correct printer driver plugin installed, it should work.
