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.

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

    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).

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Not able to add the email account

    Hello

    To configure my hotmail account from POP to IMAP on my MacBook Pro, it was told by the community of Microsoft that I had to remove/delete the account, and then add it again. I did and the innbox disappeared, but when I tried to add the account again, I get the message that the account already exists. I get this message, even if the account is not on the list of available accounts. I hope you can help me to sort this out for me. (FYI: the microsoft community told me I could try to put @outlook.mac at the end of the address instead of @hotmail.com and this has me a bit more, but he said the account already exists in the next step.)

    Sincerely,

    Benedikte

Confirm - the data will remain on the servers. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this article to support to implement the iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

    If you can't disable iCloud Keychain because the box itself check again, disable it on all your other devices first, and then try again. Before you do, make sure that you can use at least one of the methods given in the related support above, article under the heading "how to configure iCloud Keychain on a new device without another device to approve of?
