TS3147 How connect printer to the printer driver in system preference?

I have an Epson SX600 printer, of which the software can't be found when Apple does the automated thing. However, it is part of the 1.4 gig that you can download from this site. Once unpacked, how does one actually install the driver for the printer? There's a long list. But how do I make System Prefernce actually go look in that directory, instead og going online? It states in System Preference that Apple has the software and it can be downloaded, but once I try that, it comes back with a message that the software/driver is NOT available for download.
I keep going around in circles...
So: I now have the drivers downloaded in a package of 1.4 gig. Those are placed in my Library on my "Macintosh" folder.
How do I connect the driver to the printer in System Preference?
Thanks a milion!

OK, follow these steps:
1. Add Printer, i.e. click on +. In my examples, I chose Canon MP 250, which is installed (deleted it, and put it back)
2. Ignore the default choice, and go to Select Printer Software
3. Choose manually the driver

  • How can I print something from my laptop to a printer? (the printer is connected by USB to a Mac Mini, if that is of any help)

    I have a laptop that used to be able to print because it was connected to my old iMac, which was connected (byUSB) to the printer.  The iMac broke however, so now I don't know how to re-do what I did with the iMac. How can I connect this laptop so that I can just press "Print" on it and as long as the Mac Mini was on, it would print out without having to press "print" on the Mac Mini?
    Thanks if you have the time to answer,
    -Tom

    Are your laptop and mini connected to a home network. If so, you can go into the Settings menu on the mini and, under Sharing, check Printer Sharing. You may also have to go into the Printer menu and turn on sharing for the specific printer.

    I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active.  Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue. 

    This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

    You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
    Hope this helps.

    I have a Canon LBP5360 laser printer connected via USB cable to my MacPro running 10.6.8 
    I have downloaded the latest UFR II driver. (UK Version)
    I am trying to connect to the printer but the printer is not  appearing in my Print/Fax Preferences.
    When I click the box "More Printers" under the Default printer the drop down box gives me a heading "Canon IPv6 (UFRII) with the option to add or cancel. (The add is highlighted). But there are no printers showing in the box. Nothing. Can anyone help?
    Is there a problem with my Mac setup or maybe a setting in my printer?

  • I have a e printer and thee printer is on the same wifi net work as the iPad, when I select print from the iPad the response is no printers. I can successfully email from my iPad to the printer. How can I make my iPad recognize the printer?

    I have an e printer and the printer is on the same network as the iPad. When I attempt to print from the iPad I get a message no printers available. How can I get my iPad to recognize the e printer?

    This printer has worked for me with out fail at my house.  I am traveling in an RV and am at the mercy of the RV Wifi.  I do not have access to the router.  The printer has been recycled a number of times as well as the Ipad.  The printer is set up and has access to the wifi.  It seems to me that the Ipad and Iphone are not recognizing the connection with the e printer.  I was hoping there was some adjustment that could be made to the Ipad and Iphone.  I can email to the printer from both gadgets.  I will try to recycle the devices again.

  • How do I change the printer resolution?

    How do I change the printer resolution on my OSX 10.6.2 laptop?
    I have an ubuntu print server and it seems to only work at all using the gutenprint drivers. On my ubuntu client I had to change the print resolution from "auto" to 600x600 to make it work just fine.
    The best I can do is make the Mac print pages squished down to 1/4 size. I don't see the same resolution option on the Mac.
    Mac OSX 10.6.2
    Ubuntu Server 9.10
    Printer: Canon S900
    Cups driver: Canon S800 Gutenprint v5.2.3
    Cups version 1.4.2 on the mac
    Cups version 1.3.9 on Ubuntu Server
    Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.2)

    I can't speak for the printer directly, but most functions to change resolution are in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the print dialog. It has a gray bar running through it separating the basic functions from the advanced settings.
    If you don't see that, but do see a blue button with a black triangle pointing down, click on that. Then you'll be able to set the advanced settings.
    Once you set up the printer the way you like, save it as a preset. If you want that as a default, see this [MacOSXHint|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20100125135830153].

  • How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"?

    How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"? An example would be in Photoshop, go to file>new, and create the size paper I want, and move images of different sizes onto it.
    I was thinking the print module would do this automatically for me.

    You can't, at present. It's been a requested feature, so we'll see if it shows up in a future version, but it's not there at present.

    My Ipad 2 cant find my HP3050A j661b airprint printer although the printer is connected to the same wireless network and software updates are current on all and my other laptops also work properly with this printer.further more it used to work with my IPAD2 before when I used the old wireless router but now I changed it to HAUWEI HG231f but I set everything in the same way it was. Thanks in advance.

    When you change to the new router, did you re-run the CD to re-set the new SSID and password to the printer.
    Otherwise your iPad will not be able "talk" to your printer.

  • How do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the prin

    i
    Can any one you provide some information on below questions.
    Check printing by XML template (XML Publisher).
    1. When printing checks, how do you print the checks from one printer tray and the overflow remittance pages from another printer tray?
    2. When printing a large batch of checks using XML and PDF output, how do you split the print job across multiple printers to shorten the print time?
    I appreciate if you could give some information on above 2 questions.

  • How do I adjust the print size of a photo?

    I created a collage in PSE 10 and took the photo to Ritz to have printed out in an 18" x 24" poster.  When the file was read into their computer for printing, the sizing came up as 18'1/2" x 24".  Printing the photo as is will cut 1/2" off of the collage.  How do I adjust the print parameters of my photo file in PSE 10 to be exacetly 18" x 24"?  Thanks.

    Here is my suggestion:
    Open a blank, new file (File>new>blank file) size 8.5x11"
    Open the collage
    Go to Select>all
    Go to Edit>copy
    Go back to the blank file created in step #1
    Go to Edit>paste. The collage will be on its own layer
    Access the move tool, and with the corner handles resize the collage. Using the corner handles should preserve the aspect ratio. If you open the rulers, you will have a point of reference as you go along.
    Print a draft copy to see if it will be suitable in the frame..
    Please report back with your progress.

  • On my hp officejet pro 2000 wireless, how do I find the "printer code" so I can set up eprint??

    printer is installed and working well, but I want now to set up eprinting so I can print from my ipad.  i have installed the free app on my ipad, but seems I also need to enter a printer code to set it up.  the 2000 does not have a screen so I cannot see any info there.  How can I discover the printer code?

    How old is the printer? I am not finding any support paged for the Officejet 2000. Here is a link to a document that goes over the supported printers for cloud services. There is a dropdown for HP Officejet products, click on that drop down and it will produce a chart that will show which models are capable of ePrint and other cloud services. I hope that this helps. 
    I am a former employee of HP...

I cannot find any options for changing printer options. how can I change the printer option to access the new provider? i have 4 weeks to get the answer. Thanks

    If you mean that the iPad is tied to another user's iCloud account, you have to ask them to erase the device for you. You can't do it on your own. The device requires their Apple ID and password in order to turn off Find My iPad and to delete the iCloud account.
    IF you just want to sign into another Apple ID (not recommended either) go to Settings>iTunes and App store>Apple ID and sign out of that ID and sign into your ID,
