Trouble installing printer.

I am trying to install my epson we 2540 printer. I keep getting error messages from safari saying it cannot download. I select in the Mac download icon. How do I get the printer installed? This is an AirPrint compatible printer.

You cannot download printer drivers to your iPad and don't need to. That's the entire point of AirPrint; that the printer has the drivers rather than the iPad. If your printer is AirPrint-compatible, just set it up per the printer's documentation and connect to it via these instructions:

Try the following: On the Windows 7 computer go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a new port, Local port, Next, \\xpcomputername\lj3015 (where you put in the actual share name of the computer and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Laserjet 3015 PCL5, Next, Next.

I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go.

I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go. The printer does'nt show up. I'm fairly new to the Mac, after switching from windows. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Hold down the option key and select
 ▹ System Information...
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, select
Hardware ▹ USB
from the list on the left. On the right you should now see a list of all connected USB devices, as well as some built-in components. Is the device shown?

Trouble installing hp photosmart printer

Having trouble installing a new hp photosmart c4680 on my ibook g4 running 10.4.11. Computer doesn't recognize the printer is connected. Used the install disk without success. Downloaded drivers from hp website without success. Any suggestions?

In some cases, you could've tried using the printer without installing its drivers from
the included software disc; because OS X has several printers already supported.
The likelihood of this support being already in the computer would depend on a few
factors, such as the actual age of the printer's driver technologies. Often, a printer
whose driver set includes more recent OS X version drivers, also includes those for
older OS X systems, too. I've usually tried the printer (attached, turned on, then boot
the Mac) and with it running, hooked up to the Mac, I've looked into the Page Setup
and Print items in an open application's File menu, and see if the printer is listed.
Special features included, such as extra editing software for images, proprietary
options exclusive to the brand, may be packaged in the software disc included
with the printer. In the case of the HP printers, especially some all-in-one models
with scanners, fax, copier, and printer, these can be a hassle to set up. For mine,
I had to go to the HP support site and download a huge 300MB file of drivers for it.
On the other hand, my Epson photo printer just works; even over a USB wireless
plug-in on my base station or direct to the wired USB networked hub nearby. No
need to install any drivers for several brands, even in OS X 10.4.11.
If you have more than two sets of similar drivers, you may have to research to
be sure the one(s) you have are able to work in the OS X in the computer. Any
others should be removed from the computer. Some of the software extras, to
include stitching panoramas and third-party editing options should be checked
into before using them, to be sure they don't install more when launched than
you may want. Installing unnecessary or problematic software should be avoided.
Good luck & happy computing!

Trouble installing Canon printer on my Mac

I am having trouble installing the Canon C3220 printer on my Mac powerbook 15-inch 1.3Ghz. It has 10.3.9 on it. The Canon printer sits on my work network. I have installed the lastest Mac printer driver for the C3220. When I got to set up the printer. I choose the Kind of printer, then I get the following message: unable to communicate with device. I then try to set the printer up manually, but then nothing prints to the printer. Other mac users on my network can print to the printer, and they have the same driver installed on their machine. Is there something I am doing incorrect? I tried contacting our Canon suppliers, but they do not know how to use Mac machines. I have another network Canon printer installed on my machine whicgh I can print to fine. So not too sure if it is something wrong with my machine or with how the printer is set up.

saying something about PowerPC applications and i have no idea what that is.
Basically, in layman terms, they are applications that can only run on non-Intel computers. Support for PowerPC applications I believe stopped with the Lion os system. Which one do you have? Your system profile is lacking this information.
Am i going to have to buy a new printer??
More than likely if your printer does meet the system requirements. You will need to call HP tech support or visit the HP website, look for your model printer & read its system requirements. If your printer does meet your system requirements, its possible you all you need to do is update the printers drivers.

Trouble installing a printer

I just moved to an intel iMac and am having trouble installing a new Hp Printer. When Going thru the install process it stops with this message The system extension "/System/library/extensions/CNQL2410_ClasssicNotSeize.Kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contacting the product's vendor for an update.
How can I go about this. If i locate it on my backup drive can i restore it from my old imac g5?
Thanks
Dan

Your best bet is to go direct to the HP support site, enter the details of the printer and download drivers / follow instructions given there

Access Denied When Trying To Install Printer - Windows 7

Good Day
I have a serious problem on a client's computer. All I need to do is connect the laptop to a network printer, but I am having a lot of difficulty in doing so.
First the details of the laptop: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit connected to network using ETH cable. Avira Professional antivirus running, firewall disabled on pc, user is member of administrators group only.
Details of the printer: Xerox Workcentre 3220, connect to network using ETH cable, but also shared on pc also running Windows 7 64-bit Professional.
I am able to ping the printer and have connected all the other pcs on the network to the printer without any troubles whatsoever. Printing, scanning - everything is working fine for the other pcs. I am also able to connect to shares from the laptop to any
other pc.
So here is my issue with this specific laptop:
Firstly, when using the "Add Printer" wizard, the "Add a local printer" option is greyed out.
So I tried connecting to the printer using the"Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer" option, which seemed to be working, but during installation it gives an Access Denied error and undoes the installation.
Then I tried connecting to the share of the printer on one of the other pcs, which had the exact same result.
I then tried to modify an other printer, by firstly trying to add a new Local Port, but the I recieve the following error: "Specified port cannot be added. Access is denied."
I tried then adding the driver using the Windows Print Server, but the buttons were unavailable.
After reading on many forums, I accessed the Print Management console (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Print Management)m and tried adding the printer and ports there, but recieved an "Access Denied" error every time.
Basically whatever I tried, I recieved "Access Denied" errors. I created a new user, which is only a member of the Administrators group. Logged in with new user, without any success in connecting to the printer. I then tried adding security permisssions
for "everyone" to the folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS, as I read on another forum. I tried modifying the group policy using gpedit.msc and also using the Local Security Policy, although I could have missed some things in these two places,
but basically with a quick glance, everything seemed fine. I am sure there are no virusses, etc on this laptop and as I have said all the other pcs connected to the printer very easily.
How can it be that I cant install a printer on this laptop, while I was able to do so a year or so back?
I have gotten a few suggestions that it will in the end just save me time by formatting the pc and reloading all the data and programs, but this isn't an option I really want to take. And then I have previously had issues with the "Add a local printer"
option greyed out and unable to add printers, etc, but then I was able to solve the problem by creating a new user and then switching to that user - which indicated a possible user profile corruption. But in this case even that did not work.

Hi,
please check your below configuration:
1.Start the policy editor (Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Local security policy)
2.Select “Local policy” item
3.Find the item “Devices: Prevent Users from Installing Printer Drivers” in the section Security Settings -> Security Options and change it to Enabled
4.Go to “Security Settings -> User Rights Assignment” section and check, that “Load & Unalod Drivers” option contains the active user group. It important, that even if it has “All Staff” already, it still could miss “Administrators” group, so it’s necessary
to add it manually.
In addition, this thread could be referred:

Trouble Installing the HP 2540

I am having trouble installing my HP 2540 printer. It used to work for a while, but after some trouble with printing wireless I decided to reinstall the drivers. However, now the drivers want install anymore.
The network printer is found, but the installation doesn't get further than this screen: (it's in dutch, but it says "installing network printer")
After some minutes I get the following screen:
I also tried installing with USB. But it immediatly says that there is some problem and the hardware isn't recognised (I tried all ports).
The laptop I'm using is a MSI with Windows 8
I had no problems installing the printer on another laptop with Windows 7.

HP4501e "print spooler off" error after installing printer update

Motorola Android OS, getting "print spooler off" error after installing printer update... have rebooted both printer and phone to no avail... any help ideas?

Loralee,
?? I am sorry the computer is not working. I don't work for HP and cannot comment on lawsuits or other calamities.
If the notebook worked prior to an update -- and this is an entirely different can of worms and problems -- and you think that there is any chance the notebook is just in some sort of "tangled" state and not completely hosed for some reason, you can try the following non-lethal device reset:
Create a Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
If you are using a Notebook:
Close all your programs and shut down the computer
Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
Boot the computer and log in
Reminder: Hard Reset is just a device Reset. The procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way. This type of reset "clears the cobwebs". Depending on the root cause of the problem, this procedure can fix a variety of computer glitches.
This does not fix severe Operating System errors -- it is just a device reset. It can fix minor problems that updates sometimes cause.

I am sorry you are having so much trouble.

Acrobat won't print to installed printer, only to adobe pdf file

This is a sudden problem, started about a week ago. When I open or download a pdf file - any file - and try to print, the print box reads "adobe pdf." No matter which installed printer I try to print to, the entry flashes back to adobe pdf. This happens in Acrobat 7. I downloaded the newest version of Reader, and it does the same thing. No, the print to file box is not checked. These files can be opened and printed from any other computer in the office, so it's not the files. Using Windows 7 and the printer is HPx476dn. Help?

Hi Maureen,
Can you please elaborate your issue?
Do you want to set a different printer as default printer?
If yes, then please follow the steps in this KB doc. Change the system default printer

Trouble installing 2.1.1 for ipod touch generation 1

I am having troubles installing 2.1.1 ipod touch software on a gen. 1 ipod touch. I am using an IMac G5, itunes 8, OS 10.5.4 and the process of updating in itunes has frozen with the blue candy stripe bar spinning as it says "preparing iPod software for restore."
The ipod is black with an white apple and a spinning wheel.
It's been about 5 hours.
What should I do?
Cheers.

Just found some info on apple support.
Updating your iPhone and iPod touch to iPhone software 2.0 or later for the first time
Software updates prior to iPhone software 2.0 updated the device without affecting your settings or media content. Updating your iPhone and iPod touch from iPhone software 1.x to 2.0 or later includes a back up, erase, and then restore of your device prior to installing the new update. iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of your device depending on what content is on your device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library you are connected to. You should ensure that you have enough free space on your Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB) if you proceed with the this backup.
As a result of this comprehensive one-time media backup, this process can take some time. The amount of time, is determined by the amount of data on the iPhone or iPod touch.
7 hours and counting. Stay tune. Maybe by tomorrow morning!
