Where are the printer driver files?

I'm very new to Apple. I've installed a printer driver for a new printer, but don't know where the system has put it! I can't install the printer as it's not in the list of available devices. Any help for this idiot gratefully received.

If you're having troubles, maybe this link will help.

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

Just where ARE the site definition files?

I've just received CS4. I want to move it to my more powerful laptop when I install it. I know how to do that and I can move site files, but where are the site definition files? I really don't want to have to set up each site from scratch. Is there one (or more) files that are the name, url, location, id, password etc for each of the (many) sites in CS3?
don Carlos

To import/export site definitions (not site files):
On the old computer:
Site > Manage Sites
Shift click to highlight all site names
Export..
Same procedure on new computer then Import..

Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

Define "the Aperture files".
Read this concise guide.
The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals". Your Originals are never altered. What went in is what comes out.
Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file. This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture. There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image. Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved. These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original. They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture. "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing". The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple: create them by exporting. Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom. Note that I say "transitioning". You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information. Adobe provides a tool and some instructions. I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database. Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager: that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
HTH,
Kirby.

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 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 the tutorial exercise files?

Where are the exercise files referred to in the photoshop tutorials?

Most of the video tutorials on AdobeTV won't have excercise files to go along with the video. If they do, they'll be listed under "Show More Details" in the About This Episode section.
There are a few resources you can use if you'd like to follow tutorials with exercise files to go along with the steps.
Lynda.com is a great resource for learning Photoshop. To have full access to the learning tools you have to buy a subscription, but many of their lessons have accompanying exercise files.
http://blog.fitnyc.edu/technology/2010/11/11/exercise-files-for-lyndacom/
You might also look into Level Up for Photoshop. It's a plugin that you download and open in Photoshop that guides you through step-by-step tutorials within the actual program. All of the exercise files for Level Up are included when you download the plugin.
Hope this helps! Good luck

Where Are the Printing Presets?

I've got several printing presets created. I select a photo and click the print icon. In the print dialog that appears there is a Printer drop down menu and Presets drop down menu. Despite having several presets only Standard is in the drop down menu. When I click on Print the next print dialog appears and I can choose the presets from that drop down menu.
What's the use for the preset drop down menu in the main print dialog? Is this caused by the Epson driver. I'm using an R200.
Thanks
Kelvin

Kelvin:
Did you save the presets and give them a unique name so they could be selected at a later time?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Where are the Printing Presets in Acrobat located on Mac?

I have just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. All of my applications seem to be working fine, however my printing presets in Acrobat Pro X 10.1.13 are missing. Can I restore them from a Time Machine backup and if so where would they located? There seem to be a number of Library files related to Acrobat, but I'm not sure which ones contain the printing presets. I'm printing to an Epson Stylus Pro 3880. I don't want to have to re-create all the printing presets for that machine if I don't have to. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on how to restore my much needed presets.

What dll do I use and where are the .h include files?

I recently downloaded the wavetek 271 drivers and have found that when imported (Lab View 6.0) that they need to be linked to a dll. But which one? And the includes call for the glib.h and other libraries where are they at. Are they compressed?
thanks

Hello-
There are two versions of this driver one for LabVIEW (NI's graphical language) and one for LabWindows-CVI (NI's text-based language). Be sure to download the proper type of driver.
In LabVIEW, the driver should be placed in LabVIEW\instr.lib.
In LabWindows-CVI, it's necessary to Load the driver from the Instrument>>Load... menu. The files should be placed in cvi\instr.

Where is the printer spool file on my Mac ?

I have a Mac Pro with 10.5.2 - and I print with 3 large Epson printers.
I had a print that started to print (Photoshop CS3)- and I saw that it was not what I wanted. I canceled the print in the Epson icon (on the dock) - and I shut down the printer and reset it.
But, when I turned the printer back on, the print started again.
Where is the file that holds prints - the printer que or printer spool file - on the Mac?
I have looked everywhere, and I cannot find such a folder anywhere. Anyone know where it is??
I used the CUPS tool
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
to finally get rid of it, but I still would like to know where that file is kept.
Dick

Unfortunately, even though when Apple announced Handoff and Continuity and said Bluetooth 4.X was required, not all Macs with Bluetooth 4+ are compatible with Handoff. If the checkbox in System Preferences -> General isn't there, your Mac isn't compatible with Handoff. You can confirm that by going to "About This Mac" under the Apple Menu and then selecting "System Report." Then select Bluetooth in the upper left and see if your Mac is Handoff compatible. I'm typing this reply on a 2011 MacBook Air with Bluetooth 4.3.1 and running Yosemite but it's not compatible with Handoff.
You still will be able to make and receive phone calls on your Mac as long as your iPhone is within Bluetooth range. You can set that up in the FaceTime preferences. That's part of Continuity.
I have seen some instructions + software on the Web to enable continuity on Macs with Bluetooth 4+ that otherwise aren't compatible with Handoff. You'll have to do a web search if that's something you're interested in learning about.
Wish I had better news.

Where are the aperture master files?

...trying to find where the photo files actually are on my hard drive?
using Aperture 3.1.2 , fyi.
thanks

I recently had this problem and just figured out what it was. A3 default import option set <Store files> to 'in the aperture library'. What this actually does is ad the photos to the 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' file, which gets increasing bloated file. If you find this file and right-click to 'View package contents' you'll find your photos buried in there in <masters/year/random-number/>.
If you want the files to simply be stored on the hard drive in a select file location, just change this dropdown in the import options to be the Image library location (or some other).

Where Are The Captured Video Files Typically Saved?

Hi:
I guess my title pretty much descibes my question, I feel like a bit of an idiot, but for the life of me I can't find them on my drive!
This iMovie is like a virus! Also, what does one do to delete all related files once the movie has been written to DVD and I don't need them anymore?
Thank you, Glenn

They are saved where YOU told iMovie to save them when you created your projects. iMovie suggests your "Movies" folder, but you may (of course) navigate around the hard drive(s) and save them anywhere.
I would at LEAST export the project back to tape before deleting it. To delete, use Finder to drag the "package" (which looks like a file) to the trash and empty the trash.

Where are the auto recovery files stored for Visio 2010?

I have auto recovery set for every 5 minutes. I have been working on a file that has been saved several times a day. Today when just moving a shape Viso 2010 crashed after I had been working on the file for over 2 hours. Auto recovery popped
up every 5 minutes indicating it was saving the file. After the crash the ony file I could find was the file as it was when I first opened it this AM. None of the work done today was saved.
Did auto recovery completely fail? Where can I look for the auto recovery file?
I have not done a reboot because I am afraid that if the file exits it will be gone for sure if I reboot. Any suggestions are welcome.
There must be a temp file or something that I can look for but not sure what the extension would be or the location.
Hopefully someone here can help.
thanks,
greg
Greg J Wilson

How do I know? You state the the auto-save file extension is .vxd - that's the Visio document XML format.
You can change this in File -> Options -> Save
As for the crashes, are there any messages when a crash occurs?
Check that the video drivers you have are the latest, try a different screen resolution to see if that changes anything and turn off or change any screen accelerators.
-- Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. http://www.sandrila.co.uk/ Engineering and software shapes for Visio.
My mistake - the file format is .vsd - standard visio format
