PSE 9 doesn't recognize my printer

I have PSE 9 and Windows 7. I printed several photos today and all of a sudden the program tells me I have to install the printer. When I look at devices and printers, they are all showing up. I printed a test page, and the test page works. It's only one printer that it doesn't recognize this time, although it did earlier in the day.
I read an earlier question with this problem, but I didn't see any solution. I tried the Ctrl/Alt/Shift idea to get rid of the preference settings, but that didn't help and I tried rebooting the computer. I tried changing different settings and then changing them back like one person suggested. Nothing has worked.
This happened to me one day about a year ago and I found a way to fix it either here or somewhere on the internet, but now that it's happened again, I can't find an answer. I've been using PSE for many years and never had a problem with the printer until I got PSE 9. Surely, someone has come up with a fix for this problem.
Thanks.
Anna

I decided to delete my printer from the computer and just added it again. That seemed to do the trick.

Trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable

I am trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 to be able to use the airprint feature but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable. I have tried restarting the macbook, turning on and off the printer, repairing permissions, deleting and redownloading the update what else can I do? The prinyrt works fine otherwise...

If there are no drivers for Yosemite you might be in trouble.. HP will tend not to support printers once they are EOL.
Getting it running over wireless rather than USB might be worthwhile.

Has the printer been working and now failed after update.. what update caused the failure if that is the problem??

Satellite A505 Doesn't Recognize HP Printer

My Satellite A505 laptop doesn't recognize my HP Color LaserJet 2550L printer, when I connect them with a USB line. I tried going to the HP site to download the drive for the 2550L, but that site said Windows 7 already had it! Suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did not work. I tried installing the printer and driver using the add printer function (per the video), and, while I got a message that said the printer had successfully installed, neither the test page, nor a second, 1-page Word document, would print -- even though the printer is on, with paper loaded, no jams, and a green light, the USB cable is in tight (printer and laptop), but I get a printer job status of "Error" whenever a job enters the print queue.
Same thing happened when I tried to load the driver from the original disk that came with the printer (I suspect the original driver isn't ready for Windows 7, but I have Windows 7 set to "automatic update", so I'm expecting it to go onto the internet and find the newest version of my driver, one that IS compatible -- that's the whole point of the auto update function). Another issue I encountered, when I tried to load the driver manually, from the original disk, was it came back with a pop-up window that advised loading the driver with the "Printer Wizard", so I know that had to be a pre-Windows 7 disk.
FYI -- I had this same problem trying to use an old Brother Laserprinter at home -- the USB wouldn't recognize the printer. Loaded it via Windows, but got printer error message on any document I tried to print.
This should be so simple! Plug 'n Play, via USB. Maddening!

Mini Doesn't Recognize Epson Printer via Firewire

this is an odd one...
spent quite some time on tech support with Apple today.
a brand new Mac Mini will not print with an Epson photo stylus via firewire.
it recognizes the firewire connection, actually prints via usb, but will not print with the firewire.
what is even stranger, the epson printer utility will allow for printing test pages via firewire.
no matter how often the new Epson drivers (via website) are removed, reinstalled correctly, reset print system in printer set up utility, with permissions repaired, restarting, etc., it will not recognize the printer.
tried this with two working Epsons, which both work on an older iMAC, and a new G5.
firewire works with other items, like storage drives etc., and tried different cords.
i am stumped.
any clues?
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.10)

When you add the printer, are you highlighting the printer in Printer Setup Utility, clicking *More Printers* and selecting *EPSON Firewire* in the Print Browser?

Doesn't Recognize The Printer!

I've got Canon Pixma MP250 printer today, and downloaded drivers for Snow Leopard from Canon website, but later found out that the CD supplied with the printer support installation for OS x 10.6. When I finished installation I plugged the printer into USB port on Mac Book Pro, went to the System Preferences , clicked Add in the Printers pop up, but in the menu it simply doesn't shows up. The printer I mean! There is nothing to add, It is blank.
What am I doing wrong?
Help please!
Thanks!

Have you tried a different USB port on the computer?
Are you using a "bus-powered" hub (does not have an independent power supply)? Those are often the cause of connection failures, as they fail to provide enough power for proper communication. Often, switching to a "self-powered" hub (has its own power brick) will fix printing issues.

Trying to print from my i pod to airport utility with a printer attached, it doesn't recognize a printer saying airprint settings not detected

I'm trying to print from I pod but it say no airprint service is available. I have a kodak 5250 hooked up to my airport extreme utility. Help

Unfortunately, the Kodak 5250 is not an AirPrint compatible printer.
Try installing an App like Print Central on the iPod to see if that might allow printing.

Tecra M4 - Doesn't recognize my printer anymore

I recently started to experience problems recognizing my Canon IP4500 printer.
Reinstalling printer driver worked once, not anymore. When I checked Device Manger I could not see any lpt ports, only a number of "Toshiba BT Ports".
Could this maybe indicate a hardware problem?
Chris

Hi!
I have checked the specifications of the Canon Pixma IP4500 and it does only have an USB port so I think you dont need any LPT ports in device manager. I think you can forget this.
In your case I would try to reinstall the printer again. Remove the old printer software/driver, restart the notebook. Then use CCleaner to clean the system and restart again. Now download the newest drivers on the Canon website. Follow the screen instructions!! Few days ago I installed a Canon printer too and you should only connect the printer if the drivers are installed. So connect the printer if the installation says you should connect it to the computer!
Good luck!
Bye

HP laptop (Windows) doesn't recognize printer

I have an Airport Express. Cable modem is plugged into it. HP PhotoSmart 3210 is plugged into USB. RCA jack is running from AE to receiver. My iMac can access the internet (wireless airport connection), and I can print to the HP. However, I can't see the printer on the network. I have an HP laptop running windows xp. It recognizes the network, and I can connect to the internet. It doesn't recognize the printer either. Any suggestions?

Using Photoshop Elements to edit raw. Doesn't recognize file type

I recently downloaded photoshop elements to use as my editor within Iphoto. I've set it up as the default editor in preferences, and made the appropriate change in the advanced settings within Iphoto so that it exports edits in RAW. When I attempt to edit by double clicking, Photoshop Elements gives me a msg that it can't open file because it does not recognize the file type. Does anyone know why this would be? I am using a Nikon D60. I haven't downloaded the Nikon software onto the computer (not sure if that has anything to do with it). Does photoshop elements need anything additional? Any help appreciated.
Thx
Richie

Richie:
As Terence mentioned we can help with using PSE within iPHoto but why PSE doesn't recognize the D60 files is an Adobe issue. I believe there are Adobe plugins available to handle RAW files. Check the Adobe site for those. For using PSE to edit jpgs within iPhoto this may be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
