not able to add a printer

Hello. I have a HP LaserJet P1006 and I am 10.9.1 running on my imac.

I have used this printer for years on this computer, even after the upgrade to Maverick. The other day, I removed the printer to try to resolve a different question, and now I am unable to add the printer to the computer. I get the attached error.

During this time, I was able to add the printer to my MacbookPro running the same system perfectly. Any ideas?

Hey has attracted k,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

The first step I would suggest, is to reset the Mac printing system. I've included the document "reset printing system". This document, Please follow the steps two and three only. After that please close the windows.

Next step will be to complete check and repair disk permissions. I've included the document '12.x disk utility: repair disk permissions'. Once completed repair disk permissions, restart your Mac.

Once completed, restart try adding the Laserjet P1006 in the print queue.

You are able to add printed back, or you still get the same error message?

Impatience on your part.

  • Print spooler is not running. cannot add a printer

    I have a HP 5610 all in one printer. It worked fine until I tried to clean up and improve my sytem with the Maintenance of the system software. It deleated all my printers and now Windows does not re - install a printer. I get the following error: Windows can't open add printer. the local print spooler service is not running. I tried the first sugesstion to use the patch program and it detected the error and tried to fix it but I got error 1068. (Dependecy service could not start.)

    I went in the administrative area to make sure that the correct files have been verified.

    I went to Windows Explorer and makes sure there are no files in the Windows\system 32\spool\printer

    Still not able to add a printer and print anything. the Windows operating system is Vista and I have a dell computer.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Check the print spooler service:
    1. go into Control Panel, administrative tools, Services.
    2. scroll down to "Print spooler" service, the status should be "started" and startup type must be 'Automatic'. If this is not the case, click "Restart the service" on the left pane.
    3. If the service starts not so much that you found the error 1068 (dependencies). Double-click the print spooler service to open its properties.
    4. click on the Dependencies tab under "this service depends on the following system components: Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and then expand RPC (click the sign +) you will see DCOM Server process Launcher (you will need to close and open the services console if it is not)." These two services are also, check the list if their status is "started", start them as needed

    3 services should have 'Started' State and the Startup Type to "automatic".

    If the above does not help, you can do a system restore at the same time that the printer works.

  • Not able to add printers on El Capitan

    I have a late 2009 Mac Mini running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4.  Since the update to El Capitan, I'm not able to add printers, or find software of the printer.  When I opened the printers and Scanners in system preferences, then click (+) to set up a printer, 'Name', 'Place' and 'Use' is not selectable.  If they are not selectable, how am I supposed to add a printer?

    I have a printer Laser of Brother DCP-7065DN.  When I connect it via USB, it does not appear.  All ports operate. (I checked quad).  The cord works with my other printer (a Canon MX860), is not the power cord.

    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    Visit brother support website and search for the latest driver. Download and install, and then try again.

    Hello

    Vender ID - 59788.

    I'm not able to add paypal info. It crashes me to add my first app before 11.

    If I click on any tab 'Manage account details. "
    I get routed to the tab "Info from the seller" with an error - "address 1 must be well defined without any special character.
    Special characters I only there is "/" and ",".

    Remove the two and save deletes the error but does not really save address

    (Perhaps because the India has no defined States and validation seems to be stuck).

    Even with this temporary change of address (which survives no disconnection/connection but removes the address 1 error).

    by clicking on any Reroute tab tab information from the seller.

    Well well please please do not use google chrome everything first.

    use firefox or internet explore. clear the cache and it will work perfectly.

    one last thing, if you tried 5 times, then you must update the next day, it won't work not today.

  • Not able to add the snapshot file to the virtual machine

    We have Win 2003 virtual machine running on ESXi 4.0.0 261974. The virtual machine has two vmdk files. We had taken the snapshot a few days back and today by mistake, we have removed one of the vmdk (DB - srv - 000001.vmdk - snapshot file). Now, we are not able to add the snapshot file to the virtual machine. When tried to add the existing vmdk, it displays only the source disk (DB - srv.vmdk). Please, help us to solve this problem.

    The GUI allows only adding the base vmdk. To add the Flash disk, you must manually change the vmx file. Registrations for the formerly removed virtual disk could still exist in the vmx file with... .present = "FALSE". After changing the vmx file you must reload the configuration. To do this, remove the VM of the inventory and add it back again (right-click on the vmx file).

  • Printer network not visible in Add a Printer Wizard

    HP 6MP printer connected to the Linksys Ethernet router. Two Mac computers and a laptop (Windows XP) connected to the same router. Two Macs see and be able to use the printer on the network. Laptop can't see the printer in the add a Printer Wizard. All computers can access the internet (router works fine).

    In the add a Printer Wizard, under "Shared printers" only "Microsoft Windows network" is listed with the local printer drivers.

    How can I get our printer HP visible so it can be added to the laptop PC and used on the network?

    Did you first install the printer drivers on XP? If this isn't the case, please find them in the HP website and try that. If the printer is not seen during the driver installation routine, then there are other methods to try, but everything first, let me know what happens.

    Note: Since it is a network printer, I assume that you have correctly set its given static IP address one outside the range of your router's DHCP. If this isn't the case, you do not want to set a static IP address for network printers. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • OfficeJet 6500: Fax appears not when you add the printer with El Capitan

    I've just upgraded to El Capitan.  I have a 6500 Officejet and Officejet 6700 on the network and that you can print on both but fax is not working.

    I tried to delete faxes from the Printers & Scanners window in the settings, but when I try to add more once they are not appearing in the list.  When I click on add everything I see is the following:

    It should be an option fax for two (well I want that the created such as 6700 6500 is not connected to a phone line).  Anything I can try to get the Fax option to appear so that I can set up the Fax network (the printer is in a different area of the building so my work around printing and then manually fax is a pain - unfortunately, one of our main suppliers insists on faxes and will not accept orders by email if I need this to work!)

    By the way I tried selecting the 6500 in the list and then change the print to fax driver driver in the area of USE, but the printer is not sending it by fax - print only a few pages of garbage.

    Any help would be great because I find it very frustrating.  Also, I have another Mac with Yosomite on which has the same problem, so I don't think it's specific to El Capitan (but mine was working when I got Yosomite, but I installed the printer/fax under an earlier version originally).

    Try to update the software by following these steps:

    First of all make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to your Mac or on the same network.

    Click on the Apple icon, then select about this Mac.
    Click software update, and then click the Store from the top of the indicated window menu and click on reload the Page.

    Be sure to install any update HP or Apple, then check for the difference.

    If it persists, try manually install the package below:
    http://support.Apple.com/kb/dl907

    Search for now no difference.

    Note that it may take up to a minute for the Fax queue to appear.
