Recently I cloned the hard drive in my B & W to a larger one. Now
when I try
to print from OS 10.3.9 and the new drive the printing dialogue box
says "no
printer selected."
So I open Printer Setup Utility go to "add printer" and it lists
all the
connected printers. Then I select the printer I want and hit the
"Add" button; a
subwindow displays the needed driver. I hit "Add" once more for the
driver and
get the error message:
Printer Name: (the printer I selected)
Unable to communicate with the printer to set the printer's
installable
options.
If I try to reinstall the printer driver, I get a message saying
driver
already installed.
And yes the printers are turned on and are printing from other
Mac's on the
same network.
Either the something went wrong with the drive cloning or I
accidentally
changed a setting somewhere.
I suppose I could do an archive and install; is there a less drastic
solution? Maybe there is there a .plist file somewhere I should
delete?
David Pogue's Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Panther Edition is on
order but
won't arrive for a few days.
All suggestions appreciated. --glen (digest mode)
what printer? how are you connecting? Sounds like you have a
shared printer on the LAN (not hooked to this 10.3.9 box). I assume...
I've only tried setting up one remote printer, but I'm having super
success printing to a printer on my LAN via TCP/IP using the CUPS
drivers for the printer ( Samsung ML-1740) with drivers from
www.linuxprinting.org and cupsd from www.cups.org (cups is part of OS
X but I installed the newer version and things are fine so far).
worth looking there perhaps to see if there are troubleshooting tips
to use.
You could check for tips or ask a question at www.macosx.com-- free,
very good OSX tech support.
