Reinstall printer drivers?

All,
I have a networked HP Color Laserjet 4700dtn which had been printing fine...till something happened and now it just prints junk and many pages with a one-word test page...but never actually prints my page. It looks like the driver is bad. I've deleted the printer and reset it up. Tried IP Printing and Redezvous and both see the printer but junk is sent. Setup a Photosmart 8700 at the same time and that worked fine and continues to work.
Tried the Printer Setup Repair from fixamac software, but that didn't work...but not sure that i ran the correct things.
I went to hp to get a new driver, but they don't have one. Is there anyway to re-install the drivers on OS X 10.3.9?
Any ideas?

Hello Myron,
When you place your Panther Install CDs into your computer you should be able to select "custom install", or "customize" (Or something along those lines).
One of the custom options should be the printer drivers.
Alternatively, on the 2nd Panther Install CD (where the majority of the printer drivers are), you should be able to open the "Packages" folder on the CD and just install the HP drivers from there. (This is what I would suggest)
Let us know if the driver re-install works.

  • Non admins trying to reinstall printer drivers

    We are having an issue that started last night (after updates/maybe coincidental) That our users(Non-admins)  are having to reinstall the printer driver for the policy pushed printers. And unfortunately its prompting them for Admin creds. All the
    printer deploys work just fine, and if a new user logs in the printer gets deployed fine. Its only when trying to refresh the driver. Only 1 driver that we are having issues with and it is the universal HP driver the other drivers are not trying to be reinstalled.
    Ideas?

    Dear friend,
    Please enable the : "Allow non-administrator to install drivers for these device setup classes" policy

  • Unable to print, reinstalled printer drivers. Still unable to print.

    I have been having this problem for about a week now, I have used spotlight to do a search and delete all printer files and preferences. I reinstalled the printer driver, and I still have the same problem. When I go to print the file spools to the printer and then nothing, it is gone no print out or anything. What am I overlooking?
    As always thanks in advance for your reply to my posts,
    Sebastian

    I had this very same problem.
    The only way I could get either of my OSX systems to print was to set up a shared printer on an XP system I have and print to that.
    I don't know why this works but it does, for me anyway.
    Good luck

  • How can I uninstall Xerox print drivers and then reinstall them again

    Somehow I installed the wrong print drivers for our xerox printers running on the latest version of leopard and installing the correct driver doesn't seem to solve the problem. I want to remove all xerox driver files and reinstall the correct version of the driver.

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • HT1338 Do I have to reinstall my print drivers after upgrading to 10.8? I seem to have lost both my printers and my ability to download from my camera. Never had problems with 10.7. I'm a little scared.

    Do I have to reinstall my printer drivers after upgrading to 10.8? I seem to have lost the ability to communicate with either of 2 wireless printers and to download pictures from my camera. (Photoshop keeps telling me it can't find the device.) Any suggestions?

    Have you repaired permissions and restarted your computer after installing ML?  Checked your printer settings in System Preferences?
    If Software Update does not list any updated drivers for your model printer, you should go to the printer's manufacturer website and download the drivers from there and/or contact their tech support to determine if your printer is compatible w/ML.
    Read the various Knowledge Base ML printing articles.  Here are a few to get you started: 
    OS X Mountain Lion: If the software for your printer can’t be found
    OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot a USB printer
    OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot an AirPort printer
    If none of the above work, post back w/the model of your printer and how it's connected to your computer.  USB?  Wireless?

  • I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers..

    I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers.  It used to print in color and just stopped.  I think it may be a settings issue?  I have checked the ink levels and they are all fine. When I print a diagnostic report on print qualify, the black prints well, but there is no color printing.

    Okay, I had the same problem. It's most likely your printhead. All you have to due is clean it.
    Note: I was sceptical of this approach but can fully attest to it's sound results as it restored my printer back to full functionality. Prior to this the printer only would print Black ink.
    The print head is the carriage that holds all of your ink cartridges in the printer. On the 6500A it's super easy to remove. Opent your lid like your changing your ink cartridges. Remove all of your ink cartridges. Once they're out. There is a lever on the left side of the carrier that holdes your ink cartridges. Lift it up and the print head comes right out. Net take your print head to the sink and run it under hot water aiming towards the the four cirles were the ink flows into. Keep running it under the hot water until it is coming out clear. It's okay to run it under the bottom part too infact you'll need to inorder to get it completely rinsed out. Also don't touch the computer metal strips with your hand thought you can run water over them. Once your done rinsing use a blow dryer or a can of compressed air (thats what I did) to dry every thing out. I was able to get everything dry in about 5 minutes or so. Let it sit for a few minutes and check it again for water. I recommend moving it around to get full exposure to insure it is dry. Also if you use a hair dryer try to put it on a cold setting since there ar rubber grommets the surrount the inlet ink ports you wouldn't want to melt them with the hot air etc.. Like I said I used a can of compressed air.  It's important to use a quick method of drying as mentioned otherwise mineral particles could become deposited on the unit. This won't happen with the methods as I've described because the molecules won't be able to bond since your blowint them off. Oh yeah, you'll want to place a clean peice of paper down as your blowing because at first you'll end up with a few black jet marks as your blowing. Also don't wear your favorite white shirt lol. 
    Okay once it's dry replace the print head carriage back in push the lever down install the ink cartridges. Close the lid then unplug the printer. Wait 5 seconds plug it back in then it will reboot and start its set up procedure kind of like whet you first bought the printer except you won't have to change any of your network or setup setting since they are saved in memory. Also be patient about the set up procedure it seemed very slow for me. Once it finishes you will be prompted to run the printer alignment process. Run the alignment process and you should be all good. If not at least you gave it a shot. If this doesn't work your going to have to pay $60 for a new printer head. Which is not that big of a deal but hey if you can fix it for free why not. If you do decide to buy a new printer head you might find deals online or ebay just make sure it's an Genuine HP print head. And lol use the Genuine HP ink cartridges. Finally make sure you print at least on colored page per month to make sure the ink doesn't clog up in the future.
    Remember this suggestion is after you have run the HP clean ink cartridge procedure twice. Sometimes the clean procedure will correct the problem first. Also there is video I watched on YouTube about this just search for "Clean HP 6500 print head. Hope that helps
    Once it's all dry just reinstall the printer head carriage

    My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred.  You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
    If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system.  Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane.  In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere.  Select Reset printing system.  You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

  • How do you reinstall just print drivers in Leopard?

    I just began using my MacBook Pro running Leopard with an Epson Sylus Photo 2200. I am having trouble printing with it. I made the mistake of using the disc that came with the printer to install print drivers to my Mac. I am unable to print most of the time from most applications. Epson's web support says Leopard has the drivers already built in. Did I over write the drivers when I installed the old ones from the disc? And if so can I reinstall Leopard's Epson drivers without having to reinstall Leopard completely? Thanks in advance for you help.
    Steve

    you are right, I forgot about that. this is definitely easier. to elaborate on john's post. insert the leopard install DVD open it in finder and double-click on optional installs->optional installs.mpkg. follow the instructions. on the screen with the choice of software to install choose printer drivers.

  • SOLUTION: Get Win 7 Printer Drivers/HP Solution Center to Work on Windows 8

    Took me some time to figure it out, but I got it to work.
    First of all, the preliminaries:
    I have an HP dv9700t laptop running the 64-bit version of Windows 8 Pro RTM (not the preview, but I assume it will work on Preview as well).  My printer is an HP Photosmart C7280.  If you have a different printer, it is possible that something similar to how I solved my problem will help you, especially by running your installation files in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode.
    Windows 8 does come with stock C7280 printer drivers that work by going into Control Panel>Devices and Printers>Add A Printer, but there's only limited functionality with those.  As such, I wanted to run the HP installation files to have increased functionality.
    Unfortunately, when I ran the full installation file from HP for my printer, there was no "Install a Printer" button, or any of the other usual buttons.  There was only an "Exit" button.
    Here's how to get it to run and install properly.
    Right-click on the HP Full Installation file, then Properties>Compatibility>then check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", then select "Windows 7" in the dropdown box, then Click "OK".
    Run the installation file as you normally would in Windows 7.
    I tried this two ways.....the first while connected via USB cable.  It worked just fine with no errors.
    I also tried it with the printer connected to my network via WiFi.  Ran into some problems.
    The installation program would detect my printer just fine, and I clicked "Next" or "OK" or whatever the prompt was to install the printer.  The installation would hang on "Reply from SNMP" (or something similar) and it would list the IP address of my printer.  I waited, waited, waited for an hour, and it wouldn't get past this.  Not to worry.
    Proceed with normal installation until you get to the "Reply from SNMP" message and the installation stops responding.
    Enter the Task Manager with CTRL-ALT-DEL.  You'll see an entry in the "Apps" for the HP installation program....LEAVE THIS ALONE.
    Below the "Apps" list you will see the "Background Processes" list.  In this list is something along the lines of "HP Network UI", or something similar, consuming a significant amount of CPU.  Highlight this entry, then click, "End Task" at the bottom.
    The "SNMP" window will close and your installation program will then finish normally and your printer/fax/scanner will be properly installed.  HP Solution Center works normally, as does printing, scanning, etc.
    Will the next person who uses this give some feedback and also answer some questions for me so I can update this post with more specific information?
    Please let me know what the exact "SNMP" message is when the installation hangs.  Please also let me know the exact name of the "HP Network UI" background process is, as well as the HP Installation app name.
    Hopefully this will help you.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    thanks for the solution. I have an HP Photosmart D110a wireless printer. Windows 8 installed a generic printer driver that worked fine for printing but I lost all functionality to the scanner of the device. 
    I tried to follow your instructions. I do get an error at some point when the software installer tries to talk to the printer and it gives an error message. It finds the printer OK but stalls. The error message is different and merely reports that there is a problem, no further details. There is indeed a background task "HP Network UI" or similar but ending this task doesn't do anything on my system. The Network UI task ends and the error message stays open. I ended a couple more background tasks but it would not go anywhere.
    I then uninstalled the entire package, unplugged the printer, turned its wireless feature off and reinstalled the software in Windows 7 compatibility mode. When it asked to plug in the printer to the USB it finds it right away, the installation continues and is almost finished when it stalls again. This time it reports that it has a problem again and needs to uninstall. Still with the error message and installer open I open the installed "Solution Center" and I can find the printer fine (it actually lists two devices, one being grayed out). It initially gave me an error message when I tried to scan something, but ignored the error. Eventually the scanner worked as intended. I force ended all installer tasks in the task manager and the Solution Center works fine and does all tasks it did under Windows 7, now in Windows 8. 
    thanks again for the post

  • How Can I Reinstall Printer Capability in 10.4.3 ?

    Recently I tried to access the printer utility for my Epson C60 (trying to see remaning ink level). No windows appeared, yet the program was listed in the Dock. I couldn't quit the program so I force-quit it. The system indicated that the program had been quit. Yay, right? Nope. Its icon remained in the Dock (and also in the cmd-tab display).
    So I launched the Printer Setup Utility, only to get an error -600. Hmmm...
    I decided to re-install the C60 driver from the Epson site (latest is for 10.2, but according to some other posters in this forum it works OK with 10.4.x). Went to system prefs/printers, attempted to access the printer setup, but no printers appeared in the list. Hmmm...
    Then I tried to re-install the printer drivers from the OSX install disk but the installer wouldn't run (some kind of "data damage" -- sorry, don't remember the exact error). This is strange cuz I handle all of my disks with kid gloves and I've only used that disk once, when re-installing my entire system months ago).
    So to make a long story short, I want to re-install everything printer-related onto my system, nothing else. The "nothing else" part is really important... I started on 10.4 and worked my way up to 10.4.3 using various updates. Updating to 10.4.4 or later is not an option for me.
    Any ideas how I can just get my computer to print again?

    Here are instructions sent by Epson;
    REMOVE FILES
    1. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
    2. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
    3. Double click on the PRINTERS folder.
    4. Drag the EPSON folder to the trash can.
    5. Close any open windows.
    6. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
    7. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
    8. Double click on the RECEIPTS folder.
    9. Delete any "Epson" receipts.
    10. Close all open windows and restart your computer.
    REINSTALL THE EPSON DRIVER PACKAGE
    1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc. Open CD when it appears on
    the
    desktop.
    2. Find and double-click on the Optional Installs.pkg.
    3. After the installer opens, choose the following custom install
    options:
    -Check "Printer drivers" and use arrow next to this entry to expand
    this
    category.
    -Check "Epson" below the "Printer drivers" heading. (You do not need
    to
    install other manufacturer's packages.)
    4. Click "Install" and follow prompts to reinstall the resident Epson
    printer driver package. Restart the computer after installation is
    complete.
    READD THE PRINTER
    1. Go into HD > Applications > Utilities and open the Printer Setup
    Utility. The "Printer List" window appears.
    2. Highlight and delete any existing references to your Epson printer.
    (If
    you want to be thorough and do not have any other printers on the Mac,
    choose "Printer Setup Utility" from the top of the screen and "Reset
    Printing System". Confirm resetting the system. This clears any
    existing
    printer entries and queues. If you have other printers on the Mac and
    use
    this reset, you will need to readd them later.)
    3. Click ADD. Printer Browser window appears. (At this point your Epson
    printer must be on and connected.)
    4. Highlight the desired Epson printer model and click the MORE
    PRINTERS
    button at the bottom of the window. (Do not change any other fields.)
    5. A window now opens which is identical to 10.2. and 10.3, where you
    can
    select EPSON USB (for a USB cable connection) or EPSON FIREWIRE (for a
    firewire connection) at the top of the screen. If applicable highlight
    your
    printer's name and select Page Setup "ALL" below. Otherwise click ADD
    to
    return to the Printer List. (If you are unable to see the full
    description
    under "Kind" you may need to expand the Printer Setup Utility window or
    extend the "Kind" column to make this visible.)
    6. If more than one driver installs for your printer, make that printer
    name/layout option you wish to use default in the Printer Setup Utility
    before closing it. For example, if you plan to do a borderless print,
    ensure the printer name showing "(Sheet feeder - Borderless)" under
    "Kind"
    is set as the default printer here. Then, when you have opened a photo
    and
    are ready to print, go to File > Page Setup and File > Print in the
    program
    you are printing from and ensure that the specific printer/layout
    option
    you want to use is also selected as "Printer" or "Format for".
    (End of Epson instructions)
    Don't download drivers from the Epson site, as they are old. The ones on your OS 10.4.x disc are more recent.

  • Powerbook not recognizing hp printer drivers

    so, my powerbook for some reason is not recognizing new HP printer drivers. this has happened twice now with two different printers (both mac-compatible). this is a new thing--i used to use an HP printer quite happily with this laptop.
    here's what happens:
    i install. installation is successful, hooray. the hp device manager opens, i choose my device (the Deskjet F300, in this case), and i'm ready to go.
    i open Word to print a doc. i get an error saying "word cannot print due to a problem with the current printer."
    i open my Print Preferences panel and lo and behold, there's no printer in the list. i click the [+] button to add a printer.
    my Printer Browser appears. the DJ F300 appears in the list as a USB device (there are no other printers). I select it.
    in the subwindow below, i see this:
    -printer name: Deskjet F300
    -location: home
    -print using: [dropdown menu of printer drivers]
    i can't proceed until i select a driver. the F300 is not listed among the HP drivers in the dropdown menu, so i click the button that says More Printers.
    the AppleTalk browser opens. there are no printers, but after a moment, a dialog box pops up saying a new driver has been detected, and do i want to reload the browser? i click OK to reload the browser.
    and nothing happens. the driver still does not appear anywhere.
    i have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, both from the CD and by downloading it from HP's site. i have run disk utility, but it didn't help. does anyone have any ideas?
    if this is at all related--my computer also doesn't recognize that i've agreed to my iTunes user agreement (i have to re-agree every time i launch iTunes) and it doesn't remember that i want make iPhoto my default (although i click OK every time). it also won't remember changes to my screen saver--all small, annoying things i can live with, but maybe a clue to what's not working?

    Liz, when you download the new drivers from HP's site download them to your desktop, then open HP's folder, and drag the download to this folder it could be located in the Applications folder or the Utility folder, Then and only after you drag it in the HP folder double click it to launch the drivers.
    When you use the installer or just plug in the USB it may or maynot print. This will normally give you the folder I speak of in one or more locations. When you go to Hp's site it normally will not download the upates and drivers to that folder and launch them. You have to double click them.

  • Printer drivers...software downloaded, now how do i activate it?

    had to have os reinstalled; backed up with time machine; printer still shows up, but error message tells me to install software.  cannot use cd (apparently) so downloaded all canon drivers from apple.
    now what???
    (coming from windows, i find macbook is not very good at walking us amateurs through the necessary steps.)

    Did you install the Canon drivers from Apple - Apple Canon Printer Drivers 2.11? After downloading you need to install the package by double-clicking on the package icon.
    Then open the Print & Scan preferences. Select the displayed printer and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Now click on the Add [-] button. A window will appear like this:
    Select your printer from the list. If a driver appears in the Use: dropdown menu then just click the Add button.

  • Reinstalled Printer prints garbage. How do I fix this?

    Hi
    Baffled!!
    Hardware - 2 windows 7 PCs (IBM R60 & Tosh Tecra M10) on a simple home workgroup network.
    One aging Laserjet 6P/MP Postscript connected to one of them (Tosh) via a USB->Parallel port connector.
    All was working fine and has been for many months. And then a print job failed. It was hard to get rid of the job so I ended up deleting the print queue on the Tosh (stopping spooler and deleting files (from spool\printers) and resintalling the printer on the
    Tosh.
    Win7 does not find the printer automatically so I have to pick a port. Im told I have 3 USB printer ports - how do I know which one to usel does it matter and I thoguht they were supposed to go away when not used? Anyway I pick one and yes I can print but only
    garbage - loads of small 9pt - looks like line printer font) characters with osme overprinting
    Hmm so a few checks
    = Printer self-test works fine and reports no problems
    = Printer test print works fine.
    - Print test page from windows 7 is garbage - lines of small (6pt?) random characters, some overprinting - basically garbage.
    - In desparation, I dug out an old XP laptop with an actual parallel port plugged in the printer (which had the printer installed on iun a few years back) and it  printed perfectly first time.
    I have deleted printers from devices and printers (also printers and printer drivers from print management), rebooted and reinstalled printers and drivers until I am sick of it.
    I have tried LPT1 and the USB port
    I have tried installing the printer on a different computer (the one that normally accesses it via the network)
    So I suspoect a problem with the printer drivers. I have tried to ensiure fresh drivers were downloaded but I am not clear whether I managed to achieve this. In fact I suspect not.
    How do I fix this?
    So, how do I download a fresh set of drivers?
    If I can do that, is it sufficient to delete all printers; delete all drivers; reboot and reinstall all printers?
    And what do I have to do to ensure windows uses the fresh set of drivers - assuming I can download them
    Thanks for any suggestions
           

    Hi,
    Since all drivers in Windows update are produced from manufacturer and then after passing the Windows Logo Program testing, then they can be distribute onto update, that should be little delayed. I suggest we download the latest driver applied to Windows
    7 from manufacturer site.
    Before installing the driver, is suggest you open Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features and delete the printer driver that is already installed.
    You can temporarily disable security software and Windows Firewall service to test this issue. If the issue still persists, let’s check the Spooler dependency services in registry.
    a. Click Start , type regedit in the Search box, and then press ENTER.
    b. Locate and then click the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler
    c. Right-click Spooler, click Export, Save a backup file on your desktop.
    NOTE: If an unexpected issue be encountered after modifying registry, please double click the file to restore the backup .
    d. In the details pane, if the DependOnService value shows values of RPCSS and other key, right-click DependOnService, and then click Modify.
    e. In the Value data box, delete other key, and then click OK.
    f. Exit Registry Editor.
    Please restart the computer to test this issue again.

  • Cannot install Canon printer drivers after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    Have got a MG3150 printer from Canon. which is in the supported list. I tried to add the new printer and get the message "can't install the software for the Canon MG3100 series becuase it is not currently available from the Software Update Server.
    It says this,  in spite of giving me a message that they are available  when I attach the printer via USB. This does kick off an attempt to  to seek printer updates.
    So both methods of updating the printer drivers fails.
    I tried trashing the Cannon software and the PPD file for the MG3150 followed by a downloaded reinstall, but no luck.
    Any ideas, please?
