Trying to add a printer....

I had a second printer installed but due to changes made by another, it stopped working. I deleted the printer from the cue so I can reinstall the second printer. Right now, I cannot find the original startup disc for my second printer. I have looked where my first printer is located in printer settings, and cannot find any area to click on that says "add printer" on my iMac. Where might this be located on the computer or do I need to reinstall a download from printer's website? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what version of OS X you are running, but to add a printer it should be something like:
System Preferences>Print & Scan (or Print & fax) and then click on the '+' sign as indicated in the picture.

I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, which is connecte to the network, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences. I downloaded a installation printer utility from the Manufacturer (lexmark), but it didn't work. Any sugestions?
Thanks,

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.

Hi Dav_gigem,
When did you print the ePrint info page?
If it is ok with you please print another info page, and as soon as you print it please enter the code in the ePrint center.
The reason i m asking you to do this is because the code expires within 24hrs.
Thanks

Error message when trying to add a printer -50?

I'm using an HP LaserJet 2100M, connected to my iMac G5 with a JetDirect 610 networking card through the ethernet port.
Usually it works, but now when I've tried to reset the printing preferences (often necessary to get it to work) and go to choose a printer, I get an error message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.....error -50."
I've tried restarting, and using the disk utility, but it says nothing needs to be repaired. Anybody have any suggestions? Do I have to reinstall, or will any updates help? I'm using 10.4.3
thanks

Trying to add usb printer to my airport express.

trying to add usb priinter to my airport express. Using airport utility on my iphone and it only list add wps printer. I see no add USB printer in utility.

Search the iTunes App store to see if there is a free Brother printing App. Other Apps like Print n Share will work for non-AirPrint printers, but are not as convenient as using AirPrint. They generally require you to use their own text, mail, browser and photo programs, and do not work from within other iOS Apps. One exception is that some Apps have an "Open In" option, that allows you to open a document in the printing App and then print it.
Another alternative is to use one of the computers to share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Printopia on the Macintosh is one program that can do that. For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator. There are versions for both PC and Mac computers. Of course the computer has to be turned on and awake anytime you want to print!

Error 9672 when trying to add a printer via ae?

I have tried to add my HP Photosmart C4100 All-in-one to my "bonjour" network to use it with airport express, but I keep on getting a 9672 error and the printer is not added.
I was wonder if anyone could guide me through the process of setting this up.
Thank you!

Error when trying to add a printer in the network

I set up a network at home w/2 Airport extreme units. One as the main unit and one as remote base station.
I connected a printer to the usb port of the remote base.
When I try to add this printer to my Mac I can see it (under bonjour printers) but I get an error each time I try to add it (Error: -9672)
Any help will be appreciated

Two trips to the Apple Store solved it, with Canon input which helped to isolate problem.
First Trip: At the Apple Store, with my MacBook Pro, Time Capsule & Canon Pixma IP 5000 printer, wireless printing worked just fine, but at that time, the Genius did not connect TC to the internet. Here are the sequence of steps done by Genius Bar:
1. Connect USB cable between Time Capsule & printer.
2. Power on Time Capsule; waited til light was yellow flashing, meaning it was powered up. Genius ignored TC's alert that we weren't connected to internet
3. Plug in printer.
4. Turn printer on.
5. System Preferences > Print & Fax preference > Click + sign to add printer. Printer appeared under bonjour printer, and then hit Add button. Selection worked and we could print at the Apple Store.
At home, I did not initially have success. My light on the Time Capsule was green. I remembered the Genius did our test with the TC light flashing yellow as he was not connected to the internet. So I started all over again, but this time I disconnected the ethernet cable between my cable modem and the TC. Followed all steps above but this time the Time Capsule light was flashing yellow. And it worked! Wireless printing was functional. Then plugged ethernet cable back into TC, and did appropriate start up. Then tried to print and got message: Error 306 A communication error has occurred.
Contacted Canon tech support. With 2 replies, the bottom line was "Canon does not support the configuration you have inquired about. This does not necessarily mean it will not work, but that Canon cannot provide assistance on this configuration."
Today, Trip 2 to Genius Bar: Brilliant lady did some thinking as I didn't have time this rushed morning to lug printer. She looked at my Mac's Preferences > Security > Firewall and saw my selection: "Set access for specific services and applications, with File Sharing, Printer Sharing, Screen Sharing, and then lots of apps like MS Word, Safari, iTunes, etc. " She said it may be a port problem and suggested I check "Allow all incoming connections". I got home, changed my Security preferences and wireless printing with the TC WORKED and is still working now.
Hope this helps you.

System-config-printer-gnome freezes when trying to "Add" a printer

I have the same issue that was discussed in the thread system-config-printer-gnome utility freezes when "adding" printer. Specifically, when I try to add a printer using system-config-printer gui, the window freezes and throws back the following code:
mechoid9@ordinateur:~$ system-config-printer

The solution mentioned was to use the CUPS web interface. This lets me add a printer (which is part of the solution), this is not the complete solution. I've used the utility before, and I'm comfortable with it, and I think that I should be able to use the gnome utility to add the printer if everything on my system is up to date (which it is, as of this posting). I would like to know why it doesn't work anymore (and I'm of the impression that it has something to do with how I've installed python on my system).
I've googled the issue, and perhaps I didn't look around thoroughly enough, but I couldn't find a solution. So if somebody knows where to look I'd be glad to look there.

I have the same problem. I noticed that it occured only after installing the following driver packages.
hpoj-0.91-16 hplip-3.11.3-1 net-snmp-5.6.1-1 foomatic-db-engine-4.0.6_20101215-1 foomatic-db-4.0.6_20101215-1
I did a workaround by installing the printer using the webinterface, removing the drivers again, setting the samba login details and then reinstalling the drivers.
But this problem should really be fixed.

Canon iP4200 - an error occured while trying to add the printer Error -9672

It seems I am one of the hoard of folks unable to add my printer (in my case, a canon iP4200) to the Airport Extreme network.
I have repaired permissions
I have reinstalled the lastest driver
I have read through the discussions
The airport was sold in part because "You'll be able to print to your USB printer with it."
Is there an Airport expert out there who can fix this?

What firmware does your base station have?
What version of the Canon driver are you using?

Trying to add a printer shared by a Windows machine

Just got my first Mac - a Macbook - this week. I'm having some problems getting everything started.
One is my printer. I have an HP desktop with an HP PSC 1310 All-in-one attached and shared on my wireless network. My Macbook is easily able to connect to the network, but I can't seem to find a way to use the printer through the network.
I have tried using the Add Printer utility. I can find the correct workgroup, and I see the computer name, but when I "choose" that computer, I see a new dialog box asking me with which name and password do I want to connect to the printer. I don't need a password to log on to the computer or printer, and I can't find the actual printer anywhere. Can someone help me?

i dunno if this would be the solution, but maybe you could search online for a driver for your printer that is compatible to run on your new mac and install it, restart and then try adding it to your printer list? when i got my new mac this past year i had to update some drivers for the new intel chip and this is what i did to get them to show up correctly...hope that helps
