Where are my printer drivers?

I can't find the disc for my Canon MX892 printer, and I switched wifi networks and need to reconnect. I downloaded the printer driver, and can't find it! Where do I go from here? Instructions tell me to "open the driver." In Printers and Scanners it shows my printer, but it's not connected. Also, do I need the cord? I don't have that either.

The printer is Wi-Fi capable. See here.
If you don't want to use Wi-Fi, then you need to connect a USB cable from the printer to your Mac.
Check the manual that came with the printer or the Canon website for instructions for setting up the printer for your Wi-Fi network.

Where are the print drivers found?

I have a Brother HL 2040 laser printer. THe Brother website has a version 2.2 driver for this printer. I downloaded and installed. When I add the printer I keep getting version 1.4 driver.
Can someone tell me where are the drivers found on my iMac?
Also I am trying to get this to print via a Linksys wireless print server. Do I use the ip address for the print server or the printer when adding this.
I tried using the print server IP but I get a "printer paused" issue. I think I need the new print driver.
thanks in advance for any help.

I have not gotten the driver to update to the newest version. I deleted the Brother Folders as mentioned in the replies, no joy. No matter what I do it ends up 1.4 not 2.0.
Version 1.4 worked OK for a USB connection, so I went forward with trying to get the network connection going. By trying every combination available I got it to work.
What HP jetdesk-socket has to do with my printer...escapes me. But that combination with version 1.4 driver works.
I will leave well enough alone.
I have 2 other computer to update to SL.....maybe.

Where are downloaded printer drivers found in OS 10.7.2?

Installing Okidata C5500 printer on my iMac running OS 10.7.2 using downloaded driver. Where do I tell the Add Printer dialog box to look for the actual driver file?

You posted this in the Tiger (OS 10.4) forum. I've asked it be moved to Lion.

Where are the HP drivers?

Hi,
Apple itself mentiones HP drivers for e.g. the HP DeskJet 6127, they say Version 3.3.1, besides the Gutenprint 5.1.3 drivers. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306684)
Where are these HP drivers? I cannot find them, even after installation of all drivers from the Leopard DVD.
Matthew

Hi Matthew
Yes, I know... and?
Thanks for your reply but if I try to install my printer (you guessed: a HP DeskJet 6127 , only the Gutenprint drivers are offered. And even if I select one of the *.plugins or *.drivers, nothing happens...
Ugly graphics and no duplex printing - far behind the printing capabilities I had under Tiger...
Where is the improvement?

Well, I have this printer too, and I get the following response from the System Prefs Printers and Scanners when I select to add this printer:
"The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."
When you go to the Epson website for this particular printer it says:
"The latest drivers for this product are available only via Apple's Software Update."
And finally, when you go to Software Update it says: "No updates available"
I second OMT8.
Yes, the driver file at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 allowed me to finally install my printer, but does Apple have _any idea_ how long it takes to download a 1.08GB file over a 1.5mbps DSL connection?
Never mind how much of my pricey new SSD is being consumed by the resulting 1.80GB of driver files all for _one_ printer driver that should maybe occupy 200K?
Or that the primary article on OS X printer drivers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669) -- which does indicate that the Artisan 830 is supported -- does not mention or link to the driver file that's needed to make it work?
Or what a complete violation of Apple's "it just works" gestalt it is to be confronted with the above Catch-22 and to have to search the web and then go through all of the above to make a new laptop talk to a two-year-old printer?
Yes, my printer now works, and yes, Apple's Support Communities were instrumental in getting to this point. But spending all morning (plus download time) getting a printer driver installed tastes way too much like I paid for Apple and got Microsquish.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless - Where are the printing shortcuts?????

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless Printer
Windows 7
Where are the printing shortcuts?????
I just replaced a canon printer that died that had the concept of PROFILES, so that I could setup a PROFILE for each type of printing, i.e. 4X6 photos/documents/5X7 photos. So it was easy for our family to print, they would pick each setting.
Now with latest driver for 8600 there are NO way to save a set of settings for a printer. I have seen some old discussions on this but I just can't believe HP doesn't have this type of functionality in their drivers. I don't need the ePrint and all the other bogus stuff installed with the 8600 driver, but I DO NEED the ability to save different sets of printing options so I don't have to remember, borderless or not, landscape or not, etc and keep wasting photo paper/ink/regular paper with incorrect options.
Here is another posting with similar points -> Customers are NOT getting full print functionality. We don't care about the extra software, it is minimal. Full functionality includes the ability to create profiles for different printing situations so that the user can easily choose that profile (and therefore all the myriad settings for that profile). What HP has done is give us ONE profile, essentially, and every time you want to do something different, you have to change that ONE profile. How is that helping?
As I said, if I want to switch from a normal printing job (e-mail, web page, etc.) which uses my ONE setting, and then want to print a 4x6 photo, I have to remember to change at least 6 different settings. With the shortcut, I would select my "borderless photo" shortcut, and it would automatically switch paper trays, size, color, quality, you name it. Now you force me to change that each and every time.
If someone can explain why this is considered full functionality I would be extremely grateful.

Hello,
I am sorry you are having trouble with your print experience.
I am going to make some assumptions here, which could be wrong in your case, but might help others. Since you mention printing from Windows7 and ePrint in the same thread, can I assume you are trying to print using the HP ePrint driver for windows (www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware) ? The ePrint driver also comes preinstalled on all HP laptops and pcs now, so maybe you made a recent pc purchase and therefore have the ePrint driver installed?
The goal of the ePrint windows driver currently has a lot less to do with providing the hundreds of print features and settings that the full featured, product specific print drivers provide. The goal is to enable customers to be able to print to any recent or new HP printer through a number of different connection paths from a single installed print driver / print queue. Once the ePrint driver is installed, printing with that driver will dynamically find direct network printers, cloud enabled printers, public print locations, direct wireless printers, etc., and create the correct print format depending on the print path taken. If the printer is ePrint cloud enabled and has a good internet connection, the printer and the pc do not have to be in the same location. For example, you can print from home to your printer at work. You can send photos of the kids to your mom's printer in another state, etc. The ePrint solution is also good for the traveling worker who just wants to send the occasional print job to the nearest network or wireless direct printer without having to find and install another print driver for each new printer. One driver, one queue and you can print to any recent or new HP printer.
The ePrint driver has a few important print settings that customers may want to use (copies, duplex, grayscale, etc). More may be added over time depending on demand.
BTW, because the ePrint driver does not have a ton of print settings to handle, the rendering of print jobs is as simple and efficient as possible and should not bog down your pc.
If you want all the bells and whistles in the print driver experience and just want to print to a single printer you can download and install the product specific print driver from hp.com
I hope that helps out a few people who may be wondering what the purpose of ePrint is!!
Good luck.
I am an HP employee, but these are my own thoughts and suggestions

Where are the bootcamp drivers?

Hi... My Bootcamp assistant keeps failing to save the WindowsSupport files to my USB flash drive, which seemingly resets the download - due to my sloooow internet, this is a major inconvenience.
I've been searching my computer for "WindowsSupport" "Bootcamp" etc., but find nothing.
Where are they stored?

They are stored on Apple servers, in the cloud, and this has always been weak - poorly supported - crippled - to name just a few adjectives.
And it was first beta tested / introduced / suppose to be implemented - a full year ago in 10.6.6.
My iPod finds, actually finds, new updates for its apps. So it is a lack of intention and direction and mandate.
I assume you can't get to a store or other location that might be better able.
People are saying Boot Camp 4.01+ are better than Snow Leopard 3.x drivers but those do work for Windows 7 if you have access to DVD AND you don't have a Mac that came out in 2011. I wouldn't mind $9 but $30 for a set of drivers might be steep, to get 10.6.x DVD.

Where are Epson printer presets stored?

During my upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.3 and while trying to get my Epson 3880 to be recognized and running, I seem to have trashed all my printer presets! I can probably restore them from Time Machine, but I don't know where to look. Where are the presets stored?

I thank you all.
I found it.
It´s the c:\users\....\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\.....\Effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset file.

[SOLVED]Where are the sata drivers?

Hi people,
I just bought a brandnew msi 770-C45 mainboard and want to install XP Pro.
Now I know that you have to make a floppy with the sata drivers, but where are they? With every sata driver I tried XP only see 131Gb instead of the 320Gb.
When I try a customized XP CD with integrated SATA drivers it work perfectly.
Unfortunately after research I was not able to extract the sata drivers from the CD.
Only I don't want customized XP, but the original XP.
I also tried to search on the chipset, but no succeed.
Normally they are on the CD. I tried every SATA/RAID folder and copy it to a floppy (per folder separatedly ofcourse ) I tried the following folders:
H:\ChipSet\AMD\XP\SBDrv\SATA (most likely, but strange that they talk about putting a sata card into the system)
H:\RAID\Silicon_Image (tried all the three folders: SIL3114, SIL3132 and 3531)
If you know where I can find the right drivers for a clean XP Pro 32bit install or which files to use, would be great!
Thanks in advance :-)

OK, thanks for the answers guys! :-)
First post of Svet didn´t had the sentence ¨Use XP installation disk with SP2 or SP3 included/integrated¨.
That was why I asked further. The normal XP here with me doesn´t has any SP onboard.
I will slipstream the XP Pro with SP2 and try it.
Again thanks!
EDIT: Works like a charm :D XP is installing on my sata, thanks dudes , you

Where are the printer profiles in Mt. Lion 10.8.5? I want to install paper manufacturer's profiles.

I want to install paper manufacturer's profiles. All of my existing profiles were carried over when I upgraded to 10.8 but i do not find anything like the previous Color Sync folder. Where do I put the new profiles? And why can't Spotlight find the existing ones? BTW, I can't find them on my iMac running 10.7.5 either.

Where are the rest?
Depends. For Epson printers, they're in the /Library/Printers/EPSON/ folder, and that itself varies. For the Stylus Pro 4900, they're in that folder, and then another couple of subfolders deep in InjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles. Sometimes they're tucked away in a .plugin or .framework file within the EPSON folder, or one of its subfolders. In short, they're not always easy to find. At least not with Spotlight.
To make your search way easier, download the free EasyFind. Turn on the check boxes to look within Package contents, and Invisible Files & Folders. There's nothing on the drive that can hide from you. Then do a search for .icc .
But unless your objective is to remove a long list of profiles you'll never use, there's no need to find these other obscure locations OS X lists profiles from. Just put the ones you want to use in either the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder (if you want all users of that Mac to have access to the profiles), or the ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder (the tilde means your user account). Only you will have access to the profiles if placed there.

Where are my printer preferences in ipad2?

I'm trying to print from my iPad and it has become mission impossible. I do not have an airprinter but I have a wireless lermax. I can fallow any suggestions because I can find printer setting anywhere of my iPad

There are no printer preferences on the iPad. If you don't have an AirPrint printer, you need a third party app in order to print - whether you have a wireless printer or not doesn't matter - you need an app to print.
Look in the App Store - Print Central, Print and Share, there are others. Search for more.

Where are the USB drivers for my MSI board??

Got a new MSI board- VIA KM266 Pro + 8237 Chipset Based. I installed my new AMD 2300+, WIN XP, etc. I have a USB printer. Got everything installed, printed a test page, and then a document. Everything fine. THEN, I go to use my printer a few days later and it says "Printer not responding". So I troubleshoot, and then go into Device Manager and notice there are no USB devices installed. The new MSI board has 4 USB ports on it. The CD that came with the board has no USB drivers on it (I checked). WIN XP has no USB drivers. What is going on? How do I get the USB ports to work? Am I looking at it all wrong? Appreciate any help out there!

Where are the Windows Drivers?

Hi,
When I run Bootcamp 2.0 And try to partition the drive for Vista bootcamps says..."After you have installed and set up windows, insert your Mac OS X Leopard install disc to install additional drivers and other software for windows."
So I went looking on my install discs. I cant figure out where these Windows drivers are. Anyone know?

You can also find the drivers in the boot camp download page. Depending on your flavor of Windows (32bit or 64bit), you'll download different updates for Boot Camp 2.1.
Go here - http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
On the upper right corner of the screen you will see the Software Updates section. Click on the appropriate link to download the file you need. The files that you download are Windows executables and should only be downloaded in Windows. They can also be run directly from the website, but clicking the Run button (instead of Save) after you click the appropriate download link.
Hope that helps!

Where are the Mac Drivers for Windows 7 installation?

Where can i find the mac drivers for the windows 7 installation?

If you have a Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, they are available as a download. You can download them from Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) or from the Apple site.
If you have a Mac with Leopard or Snow Leopard, they are included in the Mac OS X disc that came with your Mac or in the Snow Leopard DVD. However, as you are going to run Windows 7, you can find more recent drivers in the Apple site as Boot Camp Support Software, depending on the Windows editions your Mac supports > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634
