Why can't I get my computer to add my Brother 5340-D to my printer list?

Here's the skinny:
1. My 2008 17" MBP running Mavericks can find and print to my Brother 5340-D.
2. The Printer is plugged into my TimeCapusule.
3. On my computer, I have the printer set to be "shared" on the network.
4. My 2010 13" MBP also running Mavericks can't find the printer on the network.
5. When I connect the printer to the 13" via USB, it says its downloading the driver software but then fails, saying the software is not available from the server.
6. However, when I am at the add printer screen, it says that the software IS available from the server, click to DL.
7. I installed the driver directly from Brother's website on the 13", to no avail. (Yes, they are 10.9 compatible)
Why is my older computer the only one which can see and print to this laser printer and the 13" can't?!
I'm not an idiot here but this is driving me nuts.

Assuming you have a PC start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • Why can't I get firefoc 6, I had it on my old computer and now I can not find it to download

    I updated to firefox 6 and have since gotten a new computer and now can only download 4.0. Why can't I get at least 5.6 update?

    You likely had FF 3.6 instead of 6. At the moment, FF 4 is the latest version. If you wish to rollback to an earlier version, you can download your preferred version for your OS here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    FF 4 is the latest and greatest. If you are not experiencing specific problems that force you to roll back to an earlier version, you will probably want to stick with FF 4.
    If you do roll back, you may want to back up your profile for safekeeping:

  • Why can't I get my apps off my iPhone to download to my new iMac computer?

    Why can't I get my apps on my iPhone and iPad to transfer across to my new iMac computer?

    Becky ...
    Apps that run on the iPhone and iPad are iOS based. Apps that run on your Mac are designed for the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
    In other words, apps that run on your iPhone and iPad cannot run on your Mac and vice versa.

  • Why can't I get a new ringtone (song) on my iphone 5c ?

    Why can't I get a new ringtone (song) on my iphone 5c?

    Did you purchase the ringtone or make it yourself by taking an excerpt from a song?
    If taking an excerpt from a song, it must be 30 sec or less. Once you get the 30 sec clip, you have to create an AAC version of the clip. Open the folder with the AAC version of the clip and change the file extension to .m4r I believe. Then double click the new file and it will automatically be loaded in the "tones" folder. You can then open the "tones" folder in iTunes and drag it to your iPhone which is connected to iTunes on your computer.

  • Why can't I get my ipad 2 to charge?

    why can't I get my ipad 2 to charge?  I have never had this problem before.  I have tried two different chargers.  I have tried it via the computer.  I have turned the ipad off and on.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    When you're swapping out chargers, make sure you're using an iPad charger. It is different from an iPhone one (iPhone chargers put out about half the power)
    Charging via USB will likley tell you that it's not charging because most USB's put out a fraction of the power that the iPad wants, so it says not charging.
    ALso try different outlets and cables if you have them
    If you go through all that and still can't get it to charge then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it.

    I choose to restore from a safety backup in iTunes. It works ok, but iTunes is still asking to restore the iPhone. Why can't I get to syncronise the phone?
    I can't get the menue I am used to in iTunes. It only states "Klargjør iPhone" (Norwegian). Something like "Start up your iPhone". I've done this several times, restarted the iPhone and my computer, but I can't get ready to sync... The phone is working ok and my backup data is restored into the phone.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • Why can't I get the Mac to accept a dvd which it did yesterday evening?

    Why can't I get the Mac to accept a dvd to play which it did yesterday evening?

    Hi a brody,
    It's pretty well documented. Here's a Wikipedia article on the topic. Tons of other links to follow.
    The drives themselves weren't damaged (by trying to do something like write to the drive's firmware), but the rootkit was installed on any computer you put a loaded disk in.
    I had a couple of legally purchased CDs from that era, and they never played right. They would skip, stall and even spontaneously eject. And this was in various music CD players (home player, car), which the rootkit wasn't supposed to affect.

  • Why can't I get all my contacts onto the iCloud?

    Why can't I get all my contacts onto the iCloud?

    What I used to copy my contacts from my 1st gen iPod touch to my new 5th gen iPod touch was a piece of software called Syncios.  Just download and install Syncios (www.syncios.com), which is totally 100% FREE.  When you connect your iPad to your computer via the included cable it'll give you a Warning about you can't have iTunes running.  On the Syncios website it'll give you all of the info on how to back up your contacts.  When you connect your 5th gen iPod touch to your computer just click on the Recover button then the file name of the contact back up.  Hope this helps you and it helped me a lot.  I backed up both my contacts and notes using the same software.

  • Why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

    why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

    Some find the mobile device transfer confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 book onto an Apple mobile device do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

  • Why can i only get wi fi connection to my i pad when my laptop is on ? my laptop is connected to  router by wifi not a cord.

    Why can I only get wi fi on my ipad when my computer is on?. My laptop is connected to router by wifi not a cord.

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though
