Cannot install C4780 printer on Mac

I'm trying to install my new printer Photosmart C4780 on my MacBook Pro, OX 10.6.  I downloaded the software for this version of Mac OS X (the CD has no support for 10.6).  At the beginning of the installation, I wonder for the device to install - but it cannot be found.  The instructions say DO NOT attach the cable USB front said to do, but even if I do that I can't find the device.  In addition, paper installation instructions say to follow the guide of Installer for easy wireless installation animation a button - but all this guide says is how to install printer cartridges.  I tried to reach the telephone technical support without result - especially get cut off by the system, but if I do not reach a real person, they tell me that they don't support Macs (even if I take the Mac option when selecting meny).  So, I can not install the printer (and scan) and can get no information on what to do. And, oh, the results of chat option online in an error message and the option to email "we will get back to you in an hour" did not place to answer in more than 12 hours.  It looks like a total collapse in the HP-land.  Anyone know how to install this printer on my Mac?

Your printer has WPS (Wi - Fi Protected Setup) in there.  This allows a very simple method to connect your HP printer wireless to your network Apple Airport Extreme Wi - Fi.

It's very simple: starting method WPS push button (printer menu the printer wireless), then proceed as follows:

  1. Open the utility (utility Applications) Apple's Airport
  2. Select your wireless router
  3. Select Manual Configuration
  4. choose Add Wireless Clients... in the menu of the Base Station
  5. Select the first attempt, and then press to continue.

You must begin the process of Apple Add Wireless customer within 2 minutes of starting the printer WPS push button method.  In fact, the order doesn't matter; You can start the process of adding customers wireless on the Apple router first and then start push-button WPS printer method.

With Snow Leopard, then all that's left to do is to install the printer.  Open the applet Print & Fax under system preferences, and then press the [+] sign.  Highlight your printer and click Add.

You're done!

Print using the normal commands.  Scan using Image Capture or preview applications.

  • Cannot install the printer. The print processor is not (winprint)

    According to the scenario:

    DC1 in site 1 runs Windows Server 2012 Standard, printing and Document services are installed. Many printers are installed and work.

    DC2 in site 2 is running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit, printing and Document services are installed. I want to install printers that users in this site must be able to print with.

    Same printer exist in both sites. In Site 1 on DC1, I was able to properly install the driver, add the port and installed the printer.

    I took the same driver DC2 and installed. I created the Port with the IP address of the printer but when I finish the Add Printer Wizard I get an error message saying: cannot install the printer. There is no winprint print processor.

    I was looking in many forums and before you ask, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors\winprint key does not exist on two domain controllers (tried to create thispost), but makes no difference.

    The winprint.dll file does not exist in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86 directory on any of the machines, but is located under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64 on the two machines.

    There seems to be no difference in configuration between these two machines, but as I mentioned abov, on DC1, I'm able to add the printer, and I'm not on DC2.

    Is there anything I can do to get the job to the printer on DC2?

    (And for those who ask why install on a domain controller, there is no member server in this site).

    Thank you

    Hi Michael,
     
    In addition to the suggestion of Palcouk, follow these steps and check if they help.
     
    Step 1:
     
    After you download the drivers from the manufacturer's website, right-click on the Setup file and run as administrator.
     
    Step 2:
     
    Temporarily turn off UAC (User Account Control) and try to install the driver.
     
    Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

  • Cannot install the printer. The print processor does not exist.

    Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  I am able to install HP LaserJet printers but no virtual printer.  I can not load the XPS from Windows printer or Print to OneNote.  I also tried to load more than one PDF printer and none of them work.  The error I keep gettig to "cannot install the printer.  The print processor does not exist. »

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    My laptop has been reloaded from a picture, and I was not able to start the print spooler at all. I have studied the issue and cleaned files and registry entries and was able to print on real printers, but not virtual. That's when I asked the question.

    Finished reimage the computer again, and once again, I could not start the print service. We discovered that the image that the laptop was built from was actually a VMWare virtual machine, so we started to look in that direction.   We had to delete the following entry in the registry and rebooting, how the print spooler began to work very well.

    [Print HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\ThinPrint for VMWare Port Monitor]

    You wanted to post this in case someone else ran into a similar problem.

    This is what worked for me.

    I copy the files from the print processor from another machine to work with the same architecture as the one who has the problem (x 86 or x 64).

    Step 1: Stop the print spooler service.

    Step 2: Copy all the files and folders on the system to work under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64.

    Step 3: Make a backup of the system files listed in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64 problem.

    Step 4: Paste the files that you copy from the system of work in the case of the United Nations, the problem system.

    Step 5: Start the print spooler service.

    Try to connect or install your net printer and it should work now.

    I hope this work for all of you.

  • Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

    Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
    Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

    It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

    The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

    What is the exact model of the printer number?
    I suggest you to check if the printer is compatible with Windows 7:
    If the printer is compatible, then uninstall all the drivers connected the printer to the computer, download the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer, the install without connection to the printer.
    Connect the printer when it prompts.

  • Cannot install the printer, run-time error.

    Original title: runtime error

    I have tried for days installing a printer of HP c309 on an operating system of windows 7 and still receive a runtime error that prevents the installation.  HP claims that it is an error of windows software. This printer is already installed on a pc that is dead.  All windows updates are installed. Someone knows how to deal with this?  Thank you

    Hi Joan,

    A runtime error is a software or hardware problem that prevents a program to function properly. Runtime errors could cause you to lose information in the file that you are using, causing errors in the file (corrupt the file) so that you cannot work with it, or prevent you from using a feature. Unlike stop errors, errors lead usually Windows or a program to stop working.

    What is the exact error message?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you install the latest C++ Redistributable package and check if it helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=5555 (for 32-bit)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=14632 (for 64 bit)

    If the problem persists, I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/printer-problems-in-Windows

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you to virus scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note:

    1) the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.
