Unable to locate Printer
My (local usb connected) printer stopped printing half way through a document. I received an error saying to check the connections. (which seemed to be fine)
After disconnecting and reconnecting all the connections in all sorts of patterns my computer still is not able to locate the printer.
Console is showing errors like this:
DeviceAddedCallback(): iterator=1803, retain count=2
device 4a03 (IOUSBHIDDriver) found.
I restarted my computer and checked Console once more and the same error was present.
My HP Deskjet shows all signs of being on, it prints the sample page produced when holding in the paper button. (It does this without being connected to the computer)
The printer driver seems to be present. It's still in the list of printers.
But the printer "Utility" doesn't show any local printers when the printer's connected.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Hi Cabbitsu,
Try going into the printer utility and deleting your printer then re-adding it.
System Preferences>Print & Fax>Printing>Set Up Printers will get you to the Printer List. Select your printer and hit the delete button. Then hit the Add button, and add your printer back.
Success? Status??
Bob

Unable to locate printer. Brother MFC-J200 CUPS
Hi, I installed cups and the printer's drivers and I can configure the printer. But, when I try to make print the test page, I get this error: Unable to locate printer BRW9CD21E90F93E.local". and I looked in the wiki and on different forums, tried different methods to solve this but I still can't print anything because it can't locate it. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
You're not going to find that file. That's BRW + 12 digit hex code + .local. The hex code is likely random for each print job. It was likely never created in the first place.
That PKGBUILD has a bunch of errors. Ask the maintainer to fix it. If you would like to be able to discuss the package intelligently you can compare it with my PKGBUILD for the brother-mfc-j870dw. Here are some of the more glaring errors.
* The cupswrapper generator can be run in build() which eliminates the install and the forgotten uninstall.
* No uninstall section as found in the debian package. My package was able get pacman to do all the work and do away with the install completely.
* Allows the installer to run the init scripts. Fortunately they aren't there anyways. cups doesn't need restarting to see new printers.
* Left in the installer that modifies /etc/printcap and fixed it to use /etc/printcap. I see the word .local here so this might be the source of your error.
* ldd shows that the executables do not use libstdc++5. No go for 64 bit users unless the 32 bit v6 is already installed.
* The RPM is no better or worse than the DEB, except that RPM is directly supported by pacman and does not require yet another AUR download.
* Forgot dependency on ghostscript
* || return 1 should be removed. makepkg always has this flag set. This PKGBUILD must be ancient.
There's probably more but I'd need to fix the PKGBUILD to find them all. I'm fortunate that I started with a much better PKGBUILD than this one. -
Up until this morning our two iMacs (one on 10.5, the other on 10.6) were able to print OK to our Magicolor 2300DL. Not any more. The printer keeps automatically going into pause on both iMacs. Looking in the console log shows 'CUPS unable to locate printer'. Both iMacs and 2300DL have been power-cycled. The printer can be browsed to quite happily which to my mind suggests that it is there on the network. I have removed the printer and re-added it. I have reset the printer system. Then re-added the 2300DL. The printer will happily print a test page from its own panel.
Digging around a little suggested that perhaps Bonjour was not locating the printer. So I ran Bonjour Browser and did not see any print services displayed. Thought I was onto a solution (although why both iMacs should fail seemed strange).
To double-check I fired up my G4 (running 10.5) and that prints quite happily to the 2300DL. So I ran Bonjour Browser and to my surprise got exactly the same listing as I got on my iMac.
So now I am really confused and not sure where to go next. I even power-cycled the router!In the absence of any suggestions, I have found a workaround and which I post here for the benefit of others. I was able to add the 2300DL ...using the HP JetDirect option. Seems to work OK

That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

This Canon Model MP 495 is air print compatible, but is not on the Apple List of compatible Printers.
Does it say that on the box?
When you compare the MP495 to MG8820 on the Canon site, the MG series printer mentions Airprint but there MP series doesn't mention it. I see AirPrint mentions on the Wireless Help tab on other MG series Canon printers too. -

Click on the 'Installed ON' tab at the top to change the date so the recently installed items show at the top.

Unable to start print job. Is printer availble? CS3 loaded on Windows 7 64bit
Hello to everyone:
I have a network of PC's. As part of their basic install I load on CS3. I have started to incorporate Windows 7 and found the following problem on all of them but not on any of the XP's.
When my users try to print from Acrobat 8 they receive the following message: "Unable to start print job. I there a printer?".
This happens when they try to print to only one of our printers, the HP designjet 1055. I have both 32bit and 64bit drivers installed on our print server.
I did read a post somewhere that the common files in program files might be playing up because there are 2 program files location on windows 7 - but I didn't get any further on that one.
I'm sure there's a work around for this issue, there has been for the 101 others.
Does anyone have any ideas?Yes, we have AA8 here that comes with CS3 and for the most part it seem to be working fine. Sure I've had the odd compatibility glitch with getting the 32 app to work on win7 64 but I am stumped with this one printer. I have 7 other normal network printers (not large format) and I can print to those through AA8 fine.
If windows can see the HP printer and other apps can print to the HP printer but AA8 can't and at the same time AA8 can see and print to all the other printers it makes me think that this is ether a driver compatibility issue or some programmatic issue. Perhaps I need to point something in the registry to something else? -
AcroRd32.exe - unable to locate component....MAP132.dll not found
I have been trying to solve this for a week. I had to download this latest version of Adobe Reader to print a ticket from the Greyhound site. It would not open and now I can no longer any of my previouly downloaded PDF files. Tech support will not help unless I pay or they don't know. Chat support could not help. I hope someone in the forum can help. The full message is: AcroRd32.exe - unable to locate componet, Application failed to start because MAP132 was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this.
It does not fix the problem, I have tried the above several times. I see others have had this problem. Can it be solved? Can others be warned about the problem with this Adobe Reader be they download? I had a perfectly good reader before this upgrade.I'm sorry but this forum is for Adobe Connect users. You will get an answer in the Adobe PDF forum. Please repost there.

Printed out the status report but the IP Address on there does not take me to an EWS page, as such I am unable to locate the claim code to set up the connected account. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi Fobulous, I strongly feel the IP address is not a valid one. You can check this on your own. Here is a simple method to check that Connect both printer and your laptop to the same wifi network connected to internet.Check the IP address of the laptop by doing the below.Open RunType cmd and hit enterThis opens a command prompttype ipconfig and hit enter.this displays the IPv4 Address. For eg: 192.168.1.2Now check the IP address of the printer it should also start from 192.168.1.XOnly the last digit will be different. If you see that the Printer IP is perfect. Please restart the wifi, disconnect all other devices from the wifi.Connect only the laptop and printer.Try to open the EWS page again. Let me know if you need more details. Kind Regards,Oliver
